The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World - #611 - Chapter 617 Wuliangta Jizi is dead!

“Hehe – hehe – Kiana, you are here! You are finally here again! I have been waiting for you for a long time!”

Click – click –

Standing at the entrance of the theater, stepping on the dirty red carpet, the puppet’s head is turning, and the puppet’s hands are waving, but in this empty and dilapidated theater, all these actions seem so lonely. In particular, compared to the play that was performed with thousands of people not long ago, the Domination Theater at this moment is too quiet.

“Herrscher! You are actually still alive!”

“Oh, it’s wrong to curse people to death, Kiana Kaslana…ah, that’s right. Although this is the most basic courtesy, no one will teach you. Who told you to be …Whether you are K423 or Xilin, you lack the most basic quality education, which is understandable. “

The doll’s torso was twisting like a maggot, which made Kiana feel so sick that she couldn’t help but take half a step back.

But as the initial surprise, despair and anger gradually faded away, and her rationality returned, she discovered that… unlike last time, the power of the sky was still in her hands.

In other words, as long as she wants, she can return to the original world at any time.

With a way out, Kiana felt a lot more at ease. She didn’t know why the Tenth Herrscher left such a flaw. It was because it was underpowered, or simply careless and forgot about this. Or it was a deliberately set trap, or it thought it had blocked the power of the void. , but actually not?

Kiana thought it was better not to make any noise, and now that she had the power of the void as a retreat, she boldly decided to continue dealing with the Tenth Herrscher.

Her eyes subconsciously turned away from the watch-like device on her wrist. Kiana was somewhat thankful to have put on this [shackles]. With this thing, no matter how much the soldiers responsible for monitoring her neglected their duties, she would still be dead at eight in the morning. It was enough to find out that she was missing when the shift was over. Regardless, he could pinpoint her location and quickly arrive with reinforcements.

“What about you Herrscher? You must be very qualified, right? But who did you steal this quality from? Senior Wendy or Guinevere?”

Kiana combined bold guesses with testing. When facing that blow, the only Herrscher individuals out of everyone’s sight were Leader and Guinevere transformed by Wendy. If there really were If the Herrscher survived, there was no doubt that it was the two of them.

However, the Herrscher’s reaction seemed a little strange.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk——”

The Herrscher shook his head.

“It’s a pity. I remember the two names you just mentioned, but I am not one of them. Or… I should call myself [us].”

“[Us]? Why…”

“Hahahaha–“

The doll’s body twisted like kelp, accompanied by a harsh and terrifying laugh.

Then, she raised her voice again, put her body in a [乆] position, and whispered in an extremely disgusting tone:

“[The battle was obviously successful], [the doll should have disappeared], do you want to know what happened? You really want to know, right? Hehehehe——”

The head turned “click-click-click”, and with each turn, the smile at the corner of the doll’s mouth would expand accordingly.

“Then come, come, let me see your determination! Hehehehe——”

Countless dolls and monsters fell from the sky, surrounding Kiana, and the first doll disappeared without a trace in just a blink of an eye, perhaps blending into the team of other dolls. Or maybe he took the opportunity to escape.

Kiana made a fighting stance and re-confirmed that the power in her body was flowing correctly. If this was the case, the pile of junk in front of her only needed a sufficient number of Archon Spears…

“etc!”

Kiana thought for a moment, and the half-concentrated space power quickly dissipated. Because of the waste of time, she had to bend down in a rather embarrassed posture, barely avoiding the flying attack of the monster behind her.

“boom!”

She stood up quickly and leaned back. Kiana’s legs were long enough, and she barely had time to kick the sharp heel into the monster’s butt before it escaped.

The vital part was hit, and the monster’s body instantly became translucent, and the golden sphere in the center that was originally connected to the body’s limbs also rolled to the ground.

Feeling the fluctuations in the air behind her, Kiana rolled forward. As she stood up, she dug the five fingers of her right hand into the golden sphere to lift it up. Then she turned around and smashed it directly into the face of the doll that was rushing towards her.

The doll’s face shattered together with the golden sphere. Kiana turned her head to avoid the countless exploding fragments. She kicked her right foot back and broke the doll that was trying to grab her feet. She leaned forward, her legs The legs rotated upside down and kicked seven or eight puppets to pieces.

“The Tenth Herrscher will control the power of the other Herrschers. Bronya’s power has not been restored yet. It was originally thought that the return of power takes time, but now it seems that it is because the Herrscher is still alive. Mei said that only [Eclosion] Only the later Herrschers can compete with the Tenth Herrschers in the process of power control. Although I don’t understand what emergence actually means, I probably don’t meet this condition…

“However, the information has not confirmed what means the Tenth Herrscher uses to control the power of the other Herrschers. Is it simply touching? Or is there any other means? In any case, according to Dr. Mei’s previous summary, it is best to It’s better not to use the Herrscher’s power rashly. Besides, these miscellaneous fish… should be able to defeat them with just strength!”

“Drink——”

The already devastated theater quickly turned into a construction site filled with rubble and dust. Kiana felt that the power of the dolls and monsters seemed to be much weaker than before. It was just that there were too many and fighting was too troublesome. .

“It seems that the power of the Tenth Herrscher was indeed affected by the previous failure. But even if Leader and Guinevere escaped that blow, they are only two individuals. What about the dozens of dolls here? ?

“Is the so-called [one thousand] just a bluffing number? The real number of dolls is far more than a thousand, or is there more that slipped through the net?”

Ten minutes later, Kiana stood there, wiping the sweat from her forehead and breathing a little heavily.

At her feet, the corpses of nearly a hundred dolls and monsters showed all kinds of strange and twisted postures. Fighting without weapons or using powers can sometimes be more cruel than the first two, but perhaps because it contains a certain amount of hatred.

“he he he he he–“

Sharp laughter floated in the dark theater again. It didn’t rush, it just laughed and laughed, but the veins on Kiana’s forehead gradually twisted into a [tic] character.

“calm……”

Kiana warned herself in her heart.

“So that’s it. If I use my power, I might be controlled by the Herrscher. But if I don’t use my power, the Herrscher can continue to consume my physical strength in this way… I don’t know if those dolls are still there. How much, is it really infinite? To be on the safe side, we should stay here and wait for anti-entropy support…”

“Oh Kiana? Why did you stop? Won’t you chase me? If you don’t come over, I will run away? Think about Himeko, can you bear to let me go like this?”

A stream of heat directly connected the heart and brain, breathing became heavy, and reason evaporated in an instant. When he came back to his senses, his body had already rushed hundreds of meters away without realizing it.

Do you want to stop?

How could it stop here?

Kiana knew that she was no longer rational, but she still tried to give her reasons in her mind——

“Sure enough, I can’t just let it go. If I just stay here and don’t care about anything, the Herrscher will escape, and there may not be such a chance to annihilate it again in the future. I must chase it, entangle it, and delay it for a certain amount of time. , just like Jizi did before!”

“Hahahaha–“

As if aware of Kiana’s anger, the laughter became more and more loud, and the tone was no longer ethereal, but concentrated in one direction. There was no doubt that this was deliberately pointing out her direction to Kiana.

Kiana soon saw the doll again. It was leaning on a section of railings in the theater. The stone railings seemed to have survived the aftermath of an explosion. A short section of two or three people wide, and the railings were still full of It is the traces and cracks of flame burning.

On the right side of the railing, you can see the bottomless abyss at a glance. The doll stood in front of Kiana in such a posture that was almost defenseless.

Kiana took deep breaths several times before suppressing the urge to kick the doll down.

She does have the confidence to do all of this. Whether she rushes to the doll with pure physical speed before it can react, or breaks off the railing with one kick, it is not difficult for her, but in this world bubble , does falling into the abyss really mean death? Will the doll fall into the quantum sea and then return to a corner of the intrinsic world that no one knows about? She couldn’t bet on that possibility.

But this calmness quickly faded when she saw the smile on the doll’s face. If she hadn’t pressed her beating heart in time and took a deep breath again, Kiana guaranteed that she would have kicked the doll down.

From the perspective of the doll, the more Kiana restrained herself, the more wanton its smile became. The corners of its lips soon reached below its earlobes. It opened its mouth wide, but in a coaxing tone:

“Oh my, Kiana finally caught up, Kiana is so awesome!”

Suddenly, its lips closed tightly, its flying hands and head lowered together, and its tone naturally became sparse.

“But…why do you want to catch up?”

“!?”

“You actually understand, right? You actually understand everything, right?”

The puppet suddenly raised its head again, and two scarlet light spots lit up under the dark eye mask. Its body no longer leaned on the railing, but took two steps forward and came directly to Kiana.

Kiana swallowed her saliva and suppressed the urge to take action, but she had no intention of giving in. The stalemate between the two had been upgraded to the physical level from the beginning. If you look at it from this perspective, the failure of the Herrscher is inevitable. Yes, just…

With the style of the Tenth Herrscher, how could he think of conquering others with his strength?

The doll suddenly raised its hand and touched Kiana’s cheek with pity. Although the hand was quickly knocked down by Kiana, it didn’t care at all.

“Poor Kiana, so pitiful… You understand, right? You understand that I mentioned Himeko on purpose to trick you, and I made this gesture just waiting for you to chase me. You know I must There are ways to deal with you, but you still pursue me without hesitation. “Why?”

“…”

“Is it stupidity? No, I understand you Kiana, I understand you too well. Angry at everything we have done, unwilling to accept an unacceptable truth, and therefore willing to sacrifice all of one’s reason for hatred – this is What we have in common as losers.”

“Don’t act like you know me very well! I’m different from you guys!”

Kiana quickly retreated to distance herself, and regained her fighting stance.

But the puppet just shook its head, neither continuing to approach nor having any intention of fighting Kiana. It just turned the topic in another direction:

“Kiana, do you want to know why we are still alive when we should all be dead? The question seems a bit redundant. You must really want to know, right?”

Kiana narrowed her eyes and did not deny it.

The doll opened its arms, and its head still turned twice.

“It’s very simple, because this is what we are – sadness, pain, despair, anger, unwillingness, hatred… and so on. We were born from these darkness, but we still yearn for those beautiful creatures. In this ugly old world, darkness can never be eliminated. As long as such emotions exist, we will never lack new companions, and we will never usher in true death!”

“Don’t confuse the concepts! What you do is the culprit of causing darkness! Without you, this world would definitely be much better than it is now!”

Seeing Kiana gritting her teeth, the doll laughed again.

“Really? Is that really the case?”

The doll’s smile is meaningful.

“Without the collapse, wouldn’t there be sadness in this world? There would be no pain? There would be no despair? There would be no anger? There would be no reluctance? There wouldn’t be any powerlessness? In a world without the collapse, wouldn’t it be possible? , won’t human beings break out wars, have disputes, and cause tragedies because of their own selfish interests?

“From this perspective, Honkai is really an all-powerful excuse. The mistakes that have been made, the irreversible sadness, and the unreasonable despair can all be classified as Honkai’s masterpieces, but among them, In most tragedies, Honkai only plays the role of [catalyst]. In fact, it is always human beings who are ugly and dark! Disasters will never defeat human beings, only human beings will be defeated! “

Kiana bit her lips until they hurt, and her lips parted, but for a moment she couldn’t make any sound.

What to say?

What can be said in reply?

Yes, that’s true.

The Tenth Herrscher is like human beings themselves. Unlike other Herrschers, they are not very powerful and cannot even be united as a whole. It is as if humans are too weak compared to beasts of the same size in nature. .

So they never expect to rely on strength to win victory – humans once took away the power called [consciousness] from the gods, and then became the primates of all things, and all the attacks of the Tenth Herrscher are aimed at humans. “consciousness”. Even though they do not actually have the power of consciousness, they are more powerful than the Herrscher of Consciousness in deceiving people’s hearts.

Because the Law of Consciousness does not understand the human heart, but they do.

Kiana’s heart was trembling.

Is the Tenth Herrscher right?

It seems right. Even if there is no collapse, there will still be wars, conflicts, and intrigues among humans. A world without collapse may not be better than a world with collapse. After all, humans themselves are not beautiful creatures…

No…that’s not right!

Kiana shook her head violently, feeling that her thoughts were being led astray by the Herrscher.

She stood up straight, her eyes widened, and her tone became firm again:

“But if there was no collapse, most of the human beings in this world could at least live a peaceful and stable life…”

“Oh, is it so?”

The corners of the Herrscher’s mouth quirked up strangely, as if he had known that Kiana would say this.

She suddenly reached out her hand to Kiana.

“Having fully mastered the power of the Herrscher, I can hear every despair in the world and turn it into my own power… Come on Kiana, do you want to try it?”

“try what?”

“Of course, connect with me and listen with your own ears. What exactly is the so-called [A Thousand Kinds of Despair]?”

reject.

It should be rejected.

Whether from an emotional or rational point of view, one should not accept the lawyer’s invitation.

But before her brain could initiate an early warning, Kiana’s hand had already touched her for no apparent reason.

In an instant, countless voices rang in my ears, countless hearts beat and rhythmed in unison, and my brain seemed to have run into a sea of ​​despair, slowly and irrevocably suffocating as time went by.

Until—”Bang!”

The doll snapped its fingers and recalled Kiana’s consciousness.

“How’s it going? Did you hear everything?”

The doll smiled heartlessly.

Tears dripped from the corners of Kiana’s eyes. They were not her tears, but the sadness and despair of countless people.

But the sadness and despair were not what she thought.

“There are so many mortgages and car loans, and they are not even paid off. Why did I buy these in the first place…

“I have only saved 200,000 yuan after working for ten years. The wedding gift is not enough. How will I spend the rest of my life…

“The interactions between relatives are so annoying. They have to prepare gifts every time. If you give too much, people will feel bad when you think of receiving a gift in return. If you give too little, they will be disliked. So why do people still give gifts? There’s something wrong…

“I make over 30,000 yuan a month, but what does that have to do with me? I hand over all my salary, and my wife only gives me 500 yuan a month! I saved my pocket money for two years to buy a DS5, but my wife used it to buy a washing machine for underwear. Do you need a washing machine for underwear? Why did I get married in the first place? Can’t I just live alone…

“The day before yesterday, I stepped on dog shit while walking in the community. Which idiot can’t control his dog every day? I was walking yesterday and I almost coughed out my lungs because of the smoke from burning paper money. Burn, burn, burn, burn, what’s there to burn? No one knows what a dead person looks like. How can you be sure that the dead will spend money in the underworld! Today is even more terrible. God is against me. It rained when I was walking. I stepped into muddy water. I was so unlucky…

“How is it? Most people in this world didn’t even realize the existence of Honkai not long ago. The despair, sadness and anger in their hearts all came from the trivial things around them. These are still good. There are more to come…

“More and more hair fell from my pillow. My favorite sandwich bread disappeared from the shelves of convenience stores. My favorite characters were killed by the author. I drew cards in the game several times in a row, but they were crooked and I got the guaranteed bonus. I wanted to switch to a game without drawing cards to relax, but I lost more than ten times in a row. I set the alarm clock for class in the morning, but the alarm clock broke. I drank a sip of water during class and was criticized by the teacher. During the self-study class, new papers and homework kept coming down from the front, but I was sitting in the last row and I was missing several papers, but the class representative didn’t have them yet. I secretly did my homework during class, but when school was over, the teacher suddenly assigned new homework. I ordered takeout, but the store didn’t put tableware. When I took out the garbage, there was a hole in the bottom of the garbage. Garbage bags, packaging that can never be torn open, bottle caps that can never be opened, forks on the barrels that can never penetrate the lids to hold them in place, plugs and data cables that can never be matched…

“…wait, wait, wait, how can there be so much despair of life and death in this world? Most of the despair is as ordinary and small as the above, but when accumulated, it will become a behemoth. That is us.”

“How…how is it possible…humans will not destroy the world because of these trivial things!”

“Oh? Are you being stubborn, Kiana? How many times have you humans had the thought of [destroying the world] when you were angry? Do you think this is a joke? It’s only after you calm down that you think it’s a joke. At that moment, how many people really wanted to destroy this old world?”

“…”

“So, Kiana. There is no doubt that you are our companion. You are even more qualified than most of [us] because you understand the weight of despair better, don’t you?

“As Xilin, you have been betrayed by the whole world. You did nothing wrong, but your parents and yourself were infected with Honkai disease. In order to save you, your mother was fooled by her friends and filled out a voluntary form for medical treatment, which pushed you into a deeper abyss. You finally met someone who could be called a redeemer, but she turned into ashes with you.

“As Kiana, you are even more miserable. Everything you have believed in since childhood is just an illusion. Even so, even though they know that you are the second Herrscher who has killed countless people, Theresa, Siegfried and Kevin all take care of you as a real junior – you must want them to blame you, insult you, and criticize you, right? But they still love you, not knowing that such love will make people despair.

“And those mortals in the base who know nothing, you have already proved your position with the merit of saving the entire Sky City, but they still doubt you, hostile to you, and even hope that you will be killed by us. The people outside are even clamoring to drag you out of the Anti-Entropy Base and hang you. This is the person you want to protect – you want to protect a group of people who want to kill you, this must be very desperate, right?

“Not long ago, you were confined in the center of this theater, watching your teacher die after swinging the sword again and again, but you could do nothing, nothing, and couldn’t even get her body back. You must be very unwilling and angry – don’t deny it, you actually didn’t have to catch up with me. Isn’t it this emotion that drove you to me?”

Kiana was speechless, she could only hold on to her last stubbornness and insisted:

“Jizi may not have sacrificed–“

The puppet laughed [乆], and the voice became cheerful and sharp:

“Look! Look! That’s it, that’s it! To take an attitude of not admitting the established things and the truth that you know in your heart, this is the embodiment of a person’s extreme unwillingness, and this is also the proof of your being our companion!”

“Enough, I’m not your comrade–“

Kiana didn’t finish her words, and the Herrscher didn’t interrupt her, but just took out something on his own.

Kiana’s pupils trembled and trembled, and the whole world was constantly reincarnating in the upside-down shock.

It seemed like someone was holding her shoulders and stroking her cheeks from behind. The stiff and cold touch was undoubtedly a puppet, but Kiana did not resist.

She just looked at the gem in the puppet’s hand with trembling eyes, the gem that was almost pink.

“How is it, how is it, it looks familiar, right? Do you remember who is holding it? Do you know why it is here?”

“Plague Gem!?”

“Yes, yes, tell me the answer in your heart!

“——Wuliangta Jizi, she is dead!” (End of this chapter)
