The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World - #636 - Chapter 641 The Last Chapter 3 Alicia, we will soon

Chapter 641 The Last Chapter 3 Alicia, we will see you again soon

“Raise the gun – let go!”

“boom–“

“Raise the gun – let go!”

“boom–“

How many shots were fired? Kiana didn’t have a concept.

I just feel a sound coming from time to time in my ears. What would Ji Zi say if she saw this scene with her own eyes?

“Oh! It’s so impressive. I never dared to think that so many shots would be fired at my funeral… Oh no, after I die, won’t I know nothing?… Forget it, if it really happens One day, you can arrange the funeral as you like. …Do you have any requirements? Of course not… Uh, no, there are still some requirements – you, Teresa, Mei, Bronya, Xi’er, Fu Hua… you all have to come and see me off properly! No one should be left out!”

Not one can be left out…

His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. Mei, aunt, Bronya, Xier and the monitor… they were all standing here properly.

Well, stand in front of this cold tombstone.

In fact, it is just a gray slate, with just a few lines of words carved on it, so the originally useless slate became a tombstone with great commemorative significance in the eyes of mankind——

[Wuliangta Jizi]

【1987-2017】

[The best teacher at St. Freya Academy]

When I saw the last line of words, my vision inevitably became blurred.

Kiana lowered her gaze, and then saw the broken sword placed in front of the tombstone.

Speaking of which, Jizi’s funeral had already been held once before.

But there was no Jizi’s body at that time, not even the “clothes” in the burial mound, so she could only be buried hastily. At that time, Kiana had imagined whether Himeko was still alive, but now…

All the fragments of the broken sword have been found and put together in front of Jizi’s tombstone. Several fragments of the sword body are covered with uneven scratches, as if they have experienced the baptism of a long time. The color is also mixed with black and gray, so simple that it makes people look heavy.

The broken sword was placed on a piece of white cloth, and flowers were placed on both sides of the broken sword. Countless people who knew or did not know it presented white chrysanthemums and white roses to its former owner.

There is no rain in the sky today, and a few white clouds hang motionless above the head, paying solemn attention to the tombstone. The wind blows across the grass, and the rustling sound is like a whisper of prayers from all things.

“We are here today to honor a mutual friend and a forever hero.”

Theresa stood at the front of the crowd, looking solemnly at everyone present.

“I will not describe her life or list her contributions, because these are obvious to all. I just want to share with you a period of time spent with her-“

Theresa began her speech, but Kiana turned around without saying a word, and when everyone’s attention was attracted to Theresa, she secretly left from Himeko’s tombstone.

Meiyi had been paying attention to Kiana’s movements and immediately followed her. Xier, who was belatedly aware of the situation, was worried that something had happened and wanted to go there, but was gently pulled back by Bronya.

“Let them two go.”

Bronya’s eyes squinted at the backs of the two people, then looked no further.

“The two of them… probably have a lot to say that would be inconvenient for others to hear. It’s better not to disturb them.”

…………

Kiana shuttled between gray-white tombstones one after another.

One after another, the names of people who were unfamiliar to her were engraved on the tombstones.

The dates of death are also different. Some died as members of the North American branch of Destiny before the establishment of Anti-Entropy. Some died during the fight against Destiny. Naturally, some died during the second collapse.

The further down you go, the more gray the tombstone becomes, and the second number under the name becomes closer and closer to reality.

Jizi was an exception. She was buried in the center of the cemetery at the strong request of everyone in St. Freya. It’s just that for those who died in the recent war, not everyone can receive that level of respect.

However, being buried here is better than still being on the missing list.

tread–

Kiana’s footsteps stopped in front of the tombstone with the freshest date. She frowned and glanced at the strange name on the tombstone, then as expected, she covered her forehead and sat down in front of the steps of the cemetery.

Meiyi had been following her two steps away. He hesitated for a moment and then sat next to her.

There was indeed a lot to say between the two. But for a while, no one spoke.

Even if you don’t say something out loud, just staying by the other person’s side can convey the corresponding feelings.

And there are some things that are not suitable to be said, but are necessary to be said due to the situation, so it is even more difficult to say them.

But it’s just difficult.

“I went to the ruins of the Tower of Babel yesterday, but… I still didn’t find the black-haired doll you mentioned. If nothing else happens… Kiana, you have to be mentally prepared.”

The ends of her hair were held up by the breeze, extending to a place that was hard to reach with both hands, but there was only pale nothingness there.

“Don’t worry about me, Mei. I’m… more or less mentally prepared.”

Mei looked at the girl’s profile carefully. Although she could see a bit of sadness in it, she didn’t look decadent.

“Don’t worry Mei Yi, I’m quite sober now.”

Kiana tried her best to curl up the corners of her mouth, revealing a rather subtle smile.

“Whether it was Guinevere or Siren, in the end they all held a heart that yearned for beauty, and gave me their power and their yearning for that beautiful future. So, I I will be sad for them, but I will never indulge in sadness again, because I know that the best way to mourn is to make the future what they want to see.”

Mei Yi smiled happily, but the sadness on her face did not disappear much.

She was full of words that were difficult to express.

yes.

They have entrusted you with a beautiful future, and you are willing to fight for that beauty. But Kiana…

Have you noticed…that you haven’t shown a sincere smile for a long time?

Meiyi’s lips kept moving, but in the end she was unable to say these words.

It would only be a few days before she reunited with Kiana, maybe it was just because this time was special…

However, the heaviness that can be felt on Kiana even from a long distance cannot be faked.

Of course, the more important point is…

The words that Mei wanted to say but did not say, and the profile of Kiana carrying a heavy burden all stimulated her memory invisibly, and many pictures began to appear in her mind, but every frame The scenes switched so quickly that she could not capture the familiar feeling in her heart for a long time.

Until this moment.

Mei Yi finally remembered.

She also said similar words to him.

At that time, they also firmly believed that although the visible future would be difficult, as long as they persisted, they would succeed.

No, no, from that time on, Mikael had been planning to replace Alicia with himself. What he longed for was such a victory, but even such a victory was not allowed by fate in the end.

But, what happened at the end?

In the memory that Mei saw, Mikael once told Mei that Alicia was also a Herrscher, and Alicia had indeed liberated her form as a Herrscher during the ninth collapse.

But what exactly are her powers? Why does it not correspond to the thirteen Herrschers in the records? Will there be a Herrscher with the same power as Alicia in this era? Also, when Mikael said he [replaced] Alicia, what exactly did he replace? What exactly did they experience in the imaginary space that caused Mikael to become the End immediately after returning to the original world, but instead buried the entire era?

The Paradise of the Past is like a huge quagmire. The further you move forward, the deeper you sink. But the most critical answer is buried deep in the center of the earth and cannot be touched.

“No, I still need to go back to the Paradise of the Past.”

Mei first entered the Paradise only because Mikael told her that she could get power from it that would make her, the Herrscher, even more powerful. This has been achieved, but at this point, the meaning of her stay in the Paradise is no longer simply to become stronger.

No one likes a bad ending, and what’s more terrifying than a bad ending is not being able to see the ending of the story.

But…after witnessing all this, where would he be now?

Mei glanced at Kiana with some worry. Kiana turned her head belatedly and gave her a smile that didn’t look easy no matter how hard she looked.

“Speaking of which… Kiana, I really didn’t expect that the true identity of Youlandale would be…”

“Well… there is something like having a sister suddenly… sometimes I am not used to it. Although she is indeed very good to me, as if she had resolutely decided to save me. But sometimes, I will feel guilty because she took her away. It should have belonged to her name but… I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart… Hahahaha, Meiyi, please don’t look at me like that. The most important uncomfortable point is… This incident finally ended, Meiyi, you had to deal with it at the time The World Snake thing didn’t follow us back immediately, so I thought about eating a bucket of instant noodles to celebrate. As a result, all the instant noodles in Gangtun were confiscated by my sister… I even heard that these instant noodles were secretly given to me by the ancestor Kevin. After that, she went and scolded him… Oh, she was really… harsher than you, Mei Yi. “

“Isn’t this a good thing?”

Probably thinking of what Eden once said in Paradise, the scene of a dozen fusion warriors eating dough and making dough around the table, Mei Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

In fact, there was one thing that she didn’t even realize – compared to Kiana, she herself had not laughed from the bottom of her heart for a long, long time.

“When I get a chance, I’ll make curry rice for you. You should be able to taste it now, right?”

Mei stood up and looked at Kiana sideways with a bit of teasing in her eyes.

Kiana’s cheeks were slightly red, and when she thought about the scandal that she had pointed at a plate of bell pepper curry and said it was spicy in order to reassure Mei, she wanted to erase all that memory.

But soon she noticed Mei Yi standing up again.

“Mei Yi, are you… leaving?”

Mei turned to look at Kiana, opened her mouth, and finally just let out a long sigh.

“I… there are too many things for me to deal with on the World Snake side, and the exploration of the Paradise of the Past is still to the last point. And… the core of the Tenth Herrscher is still missing, although a lot has happened in the entire world during this time. It was proven that there was no instigation from the Herrscher behind the riots, but I always felt a little uneasy.”

“That’s right. Considering how convenient it is to destroy the world, the Tenth Herrscher’s ability is really hard to guard against.”

“well……”

Recalling the end of the civilization she saw in the Paradise, Mei felt the worry in her heart getting worse.

However, at the end, she felt relaxed again.

why?

Looking at the crescent moon emerging from the horizon, she seemed to understand something.

“Then…I’m leaving first. Kiana, listen carefully to Uncle Siegfried and Hollander, eat less snacks and go to the cafeteria to eat more – those people shouldn’t be too scared to see you now, right? ?”

“Oh, I understand all this!”

Kiana waved her hand, and then forced out a smile:

“Then… Mei, I’m waiting for you to come back and cook for me!”

“Don’t worry, that day won’t be long.”

Meiyi also smiled, and then the two girls parted under the rising moon.

…………

Today is the first quarter moon. Shortly after the sun sets, the arc of the moon, like a fingernail, also sets below the horizon.

Even at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, facing the stars that are not blocked by clouds, without the halo of moonlight, it is inevitable to feel a little lonely.

call–

The wind at high altitudes is much stronger than at the ground.

If the wind on the ground is the prayer chanted by all things for someone’s passing, then what is blowing Mikael at this moment should be regarded as crying.

Spanning a distance of half the world, the ruins of the Tower of Babel were floating in the air scattered, and it was not known when this abnormal reaction force would be eliminated.

But even if it is not eliminated, it is not a bad thing. Once the collapse is over, this place will definitely become a tourist attraction with its own story and irreplaceable scenery.

Even under these floating bricks and rubbles, there is a land that has been reduced to scorched earth, a completely changed coastline, and billions of corpses that cannot be buried.

But time will eventually dilute everything. In the end, the battle that was just a hair away from being catastrophic may occupy less than half a page in the history books many years later.

Human beings may even imagine that they have easily won the victory with a crushing force. Although this is not consistent with the facts, it is the normal state of human optimism.

There is nothing wrong with this. Of course, the facts must be respected, but there is no need to be too harsh on the public. After all, no matter how high the requirements are, it will not help.

It is enough as long as the people who should remember remember this tragedy and always remember the beauty that can bring about a change in the face of the same situation.

Mikael sat on a piece of debris that could barely be called a “platform”, his feet dangling outside, and below him was a dark surface.

Whether you are looking north, west, east, or south, you can see the dense lights of thousands of houses, but under your feet there is only darkness and silence.

“Alicia…did you see it?”

He gently touched his eyeballs with his fingers. He was obviously the culprit of all this, but the man was talking to himself in an extremely pleased and excited tone.

No, maybe not talking to myself either.

“Human beings can defeat the darkness in their hearts by relying on their own will. No matter how dark the night is, the light will always exist, it’s just whether the eyes can detect it. But they are luckier than us, at least this time, they did it ”

There was no response, but wasn’t that a given?

Alicia was dead, and another fifty thousand years had passed since then.

“But why them? Why them and not us?”

His voice became deep and depressed, but even this disappeared in a short period of time.

“Soon……”

The finger caressing the eyeball slid upwards, and then with a slight force, he directly pulled the eyeball out of the socket.

The pain can no longer be felt, or the pain will always be eclipsed by more pain.

However, this numbness can also be called a long absence.

“We will meet again soon, we will meet again soon, Alicia.”

Mikael pinched the eyeball with his left hand, stretched out his right index finger, and kept stroking the pink pupil on the silver-gray eyeball.

Then, he lowered his head and slowly touched his lips.

tap–

There were footsteps behind me.

Mikael raised his head, quickly stuffed his eyeballs back into his sockets, cleaned the blood on his face, and then asked calmly:

“I didn’t expect you to find this place, Raiden Mei.”

“It’s actually not difficult to find you.”

Meiyi held the purple long knife and walked step by step behind Mikael.

“Are you going to try and kill me? Right here, right now.”

The silence seemed to last for a long time, and the last thing Mikael waited for was the crisp sound of the long knife falling to the ground.

Meiyi sat next to him.

“I saw in Paradise that you seemed to be afraid of heights at first.”

“Don’t you?”

“I… did have it before.”

“That’s okay, just get used to it.”

“…”

There was another period of silence.

“Why did you put down the knife just now?”

“It’s nothing… I just feel… the battle will come sooner or later anyway. It is not wise to start a war without sufficient preparation, and there is no chance of winning.”

“You have grown up a lot -“

“And…even if it’s the last time, even if it’s really the last time…let me spend it here with you.”

“I don’t need this mercy.”

“No, this is not pity… In fact, I originally went directly back to the Paradise of the Past.”

“Then?”

“I told her what happened recently, and she told me that I will definitely find you here, and…she asked me to watch you carefully, because when you are sad, no matter whether it objectively hurts others, but At least subjectively, you prefer hurting yourself to hurting others.”

Mei Yi raised her hand and wiped the blood from the corner of Mikael’s eyes with her thumb under the dim light of the stars.

Behind the two of them, a blue-grey dress came silently and left silently.
