Chapter 515 Breakup

"Whatever you say... Sakura, you should stop here."

As Kevin's voice fell, the biting cold in the air actually condensed into countless ice spikes, completely surrounding Sakura and Bronya.

Hey, hey! This is even colder than when the snow melts in Siberia in spring. It doesn't match the weapon in your hand-Bronya smiled bitterly in her heart.

However, even if the longest ice spike was against Sakura's throat, she still did not give in.

"Oh? You brought a child? Who is she?"

"Hehe, are you still pretending to be innocent at this time, Kevin! I found her here! In the room where the bell should have been turned off! Whether it's for experiments or something else, the fire moth has caught so many innocent children here, Kevin, do you dare to say that you don't know anything!"

Faced with Sakura's questioning, Kevin remained silent, but this obviously did not satisfy the former.

"Answer me Kevin! Don't you have any sense of right and wrong in your heart? You won't object to anything that Mei thinks is right, right?"

Sakura crushed the ice in front of her fiercely, and the splashing ice reflected her increasingly hideous face and the bloodshot eyes that were almost connected.

"Answer me Kevin!"

Silence cannot solve all misunderstandings, and it will even make things worse.

However, if the person who speaks is not good at expressing himself, it is almost like adding fuel to the fire.

The worst result is to breed suspicion with silence when it should not be silent, and to choose to speak when it is better to remain silent.

Kevin has never disappointed people in this regard.

"I don't know about this. I believe Mei doesn't know about this either. She is not that kind of person."

"Humph. Kevin, you should know Mei better than me. Look into my eyes and say it again, what kind of person is Mei!"

Bronya swallowed her saliva with all her strength, and then gently pulled Sakura's belt.

The violent Houkai energy caused the airflow to collide, blowing the two drills on Bronya's head everywhere. The ice spikes around were also squeezed by the surging Houkai energy and shattered in an instant.

"Sakura..."

Bronya could see that the conflict between the two people in front of her and Dr. Mei was not just a matter of fact. It seemed inappropriate to describe it as a long-standing grudge. The matter was much more complicated than the most complicated situation she could imagine, but she had read the records in the archives room and knew that Sakura might have misunderstood this time.

For the second time, she gently called Sakura's name, but still couldn't say that sentence.

But this time it was not that she couldn't make up her mind, but she realized-not to mention that she was still in a state of doubt, if Ling really became a Herrscher, would Sakura have the determination to kill her?

If Seele became a Herrscher, would Bronya have the determination to kill her?

It should be... impossible.

When Mei became a Herrscher in front of Bronya, didn't Bronya kill her?

Kiana has now become a Herrscher, but in Bronya's mind, the option of "killing Kiana" has never appeared.

Not to mention Seele.

This is true for Bronya, and Bronya believes that Sakura is the same.

How can she accept that her sister has become a Herrscher! But whether it is killing her relatives for the world or giving up the whole world for her relatives, it cannot be called the right choice.

Is there no option to have the best of both worlds in front of this question?

No!

Becoming a Herrscher does not mean that you will obey the collapse, right? The first Herrscher Walter can fight for humanity, Mei can put a bomb on her heart to restrict the Herrscher, and occasionally borrow His power, and Sakura's sister can definitely do it.

And, and... Bronya remembered the vague memory in that world bubble again-Michael, it seems that he is also a Herrscher? With his previous experience, plus the wisdom of Dr. Mei, he must be trying to turn Sakura's sister into a Herrscher who fights for humanity... right?

Bronya, who thought she had found the answer, felt her hands trembling. She hadn't been so excited for a long time. She...

But Kevin's words broke up her thoughts:

"Sakura, do you think you know Mei better than me? I know Mei better than anyone else. This is the only thing I am confident about. Sakura, believe me, believe us. Maybe there are other hidden reasons for this girl to appear here, but I can guarantee Mei with my personality that she doesn't know about this. Even the news that Ling was imprisoned was created by her to let Alicia tell you. Isn't this enough to prove her position?"

The man's tone was unusually stable, like an ice surface without any waves. In fact, there was no useful information mixed in his words for Bronya. The reason why her thoughts were disrupted was that such a tone made it difficult for Bronya not to think of someone - someone she thought might exist here, but has not appeared so far.

It is also the object she must defeat.

"Ah, yes."

Bronya tightened Sakura's belt again. She could feel Sakura trembling and trying to suppress something.

The anger that was about to be suppressed, the despair that was about to be suppressed, and then these two emotions intertwined, almost driving people crazy.

"Sakura... Sister..."

"Yes! And then! Do you think I don't want to believe Mei!!"

"Crack——"

Bronya thought it was the soft squeaking sound she made when she clenched her back molars, but she soon realized that it was not, that the sound came from Sakura's right hand.

Sakura pinched the thin frost on the handle of the knife, and the blood flowed down bit by bit along the tilt of the blade, but after a few breaths, it turned into a long and thin red line, merging with the ice and snow.

"Mei promised me to withdraw all the guards on this floor and let me take away Ling... She promised me! But now? Do you want to tell me that this is all the parliament's constraints on Mei? Then I Why did you help Mei kill so many people before? Besides, I can also understand the previous mecha as the obstruction of the council, so why are you here, Kevin?"

"Da-da-da-"

The clear ice crystals slipped from Sakura's face and shattered on the metal floor without a trace of warmth.

Kevin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Yes...Sakura, go back. This is the last warning. I hope you will be more rational. If you look back now, it's not too late. You have to believe in Mei, there are some things...that she doesn't want to see."

"What do you mean?"

A puff of white steam came out of Kevin's mouth.

"Sakura, you... okay, I understand. If you don't say something, you won't give up the idea at all. But Sakura, you should know that if you want to know the truth, you have to bear the price of the truth. In my opinion Come on, maybe it’s better if you don’t know anything…”

"..."

Sakura remained silent, just stared with bloodshot eyes, expressing her determination with stubborn eyes.

Kevin sighed again.

"Sakura, there was a suspicious Honkai reaction in Ling's body. The Fire Chaser suspected that she had become a qualified candidate for the Twelfth Herrscher, so she was temporarily imprisoned - Alicia and you are like this Just say it.”

"Yes. So?"

"Compared to me and Mei, are you more willing to trust Alicia?"

"..."

"This is indeed not surprising. However, what Alicia said is not wrong, but... that was several hours ago after all. Two hours ago, the Honkai energy reaction appeared again in Ling's body. , and the magnitude of the response this time is even greater.”

"Does this mean anything? You and I also have Honkai energy reactions in our bodies. We are both fusion warriors. We all have Honkaimon genes. We can't even be called humans, but we are still fusion warriors fighting for humanity! "

Sakura took a step forward excitedly, but what was waiting for her was an unprecedented scolding from Kevin:

"Sakura! Wake up! We have all undergone super-transformation surgery, but what about Ling? She is just an ordinary girl!"

"That could be Honkai disease, right?"

Kevin's lips twitched twice, and even Bronya, who was hiding behind Sakura, slowly shook her head.

Sakura...she would rather Ling contracted the incurable Honkai Disease than believe that Ling became a Herrscher.

What Kevin is going to do could not be simpler, which is to crush all her fantasies with facts:

"Sakura, have you ever seen any Honkai Disease patient or dead person whose reaction in the body reaches a level comparable to that of an Emperor-level Honkaiju beast?"

"..."

"Don't have any illusions that you shouldn't have, Sakura, Ling, she is the twelfth Herrscher. The Herrscher is no longer human. No one in the Fire Chasing Moth knows this better than me. You should know it."

"Ah... I should know, I should know... But Kevin, tell me, when you last saw Ling, was she really any different from usual?"

"No."

"That……"

"The tragedy of the sixth collapse! Do you need me to repeat it again! Sakura!"

This was the first time Bronya saw an angry look on the face of the man in front of her.

The great sword surging with fire was placed in front of him. Contrary to the last time, with Kevin's words, everything around him was engulfed in heat.

"Cough cough cough!"

Bronya just took a breath of the hot air, and she felt that everything from her mouth to her lungs was melting. Only the cold hell ice that was close to Sakura's waist could barely alleviate the symptoms.

"The Herrscher is the Herrscher. From the moment they become the Herrscher, the human personality no longer exists! But they learned to disguise in their confrontation with humans. They will imitate the expressions of the deceased and inherit a small amount of The memories of those who were originally qualified, but they are Herrschers, this is after the seventh collapse A truth that every Fire Chaser warrior must know... One last warning, Sakura, look back now and think of your past comradeship, Mei will forgive all your sins, but if you are still stubborn, you can only do it. It's up to me to wake you up. Come on, friend or foe."

ah?

ah?

ah?

If Bronya hadn't been unable to speak because of the hot air, she would have really wanted to shout three times.

no……

Bronya remembers that Mikael is also a Herrscher? Why would Kevin say such a thing in front of her, and Sakura didn't refute it at all, as if this was the truth...

So what happened to Mikael? So what happened to Mei Yi and Walter...

"hehe……"

Bronya saw Sakura slowly raising her head, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes again, but this time they did not condense into frost and fall. Instead, they just slipped over the cheekbones and turned into white vapor amidst the harsh sound, only on Sakura's face. There was a light red burn mark left on it, as if someone had cut it from the corner of the eye.

"Hahaha... What kind of comrades-in-arms relationship? In the final analysis, you and I are just knives in Mei's hands. It's just that what she uses to control you is your love for her, and what she uses to tie me down is It's just Ling. I have believed in her once, but now, I will not make such a mistake again. Maybe Ling will become a Herrscher or not, those people in the base. No matter how you look at us, you also understand that I have to take Ling away. If she is not the Herrscher, I will come back and surrender after I put her in place. If she is the Herrscher, then I will... then I will too. To fulfill the duty of a sister - I want to stay with my sister until the last moment of her life, even if it's just a few minutes, even if it's just a second, so Kevin... get out of the way!"

"Sakura, Fire Chaser needs you, we need you."

Bronya could tell that this was Kevin's last attempt, but Sakura didn't answer, and Kevin didn't talk nonsense anymore. He just turned the big sword in front of him and pointed the sword's head at Sakura.

In an instant, the monstrous Honkai Energy gathered momentum under his guidance. Compared with it, the Herrscher of Thunder and Herrscher of Sky that Bronya had seen before looked like two children.

With such terrifying power, do we need to worry about the birth of another Herrscher? So how strong were the Herrschers they had faced?

Before she could figure this out, the accumulation of Honkai energy had almost reached its limit...

"Sakura, I don't want to hurt you, but I won't let you pass here either!"

Coming!

Bronya hurriedly hid her body completely behind Sakura. There was no way. To be honest, she couldn't withstand such an attack at all. She could only place her hope on Sakura... Well, Bronya seemed to understand why. This man is the only one who has any hope of defeating Mikael.

But the attack did not fall after all. Sakura spoke just before the Honkai energy was about to explode. With just a simple word, the huge Honkai energy almost collapsed out of control——

"Kevin, when you killed Himihu, did you also believe in what you said?"

"!"

"Kevin, even though we have been 'fighting side by side' for so long, you have never seen my true abilities once, have you?"

At the end, Sakura still smiled at Kevin.

This was not used to confuse the opponent, Sakura knew that Kevin would not be shaken by any smile again - this was the last lesson Himiko taught him.

Comrades and friends are all broken up at this moment and turned into the irretrievable past.

But at least face it all with a smile - if the girl who told her that Suzu was being held saw this scene, she would at least expect this.

Goodbye, fire-chasing moth.

Goodbye, Kevin, Mei, Su, Qianjie, Aponia, Pado, Kosmo, Little Gratius, Dr. Mebius, Velvet, Hua, Eden, and... Alicia .

I have...forsaken my warrior oath...there is no turning back...

Therefore, I have to move forward and at least fulfill the promise I made as my sister...

Ice and flames continued to collide in the space around the two of them. The man held a big sword in his hand and slowly walked towards his former comrade...

One step, two steps...

When the footsteps sounded, the sound was as clear as if the space had frozen.

Three steps...

The two people in front of him disappeared.

"What!"

Kevin turned around quickly, and the two people who were supposed to be standing in front of him appeared behind him. They ran deeper into the passage without looking back, even though there was darkness where nothing could be seen clearly.

"cherry……"

Just as Kevin was about to take a step, the piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

"Woo——"

"Woo——"

"Woo——"

The siren sounded so piercingly that it made people want to cry three times. No matter which era it was in, this siren had the same meaning——

The Herrscher was born.
