Honkai: Fire Moth Herrschers Chapter 224: An Inhuman Form

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded, not from the Herrscher, but from the armored wall on the other side.

Cyan-white cold air rushed in faster than the stream of flas, slamming into the Herrscher from the side, and almost instantly freezing the scorching flas!

Dense fog instantly filled the entire combat command room. The Herrscher reached out to where i had been standing, while turning his head to look at the source of the cold stream on the left.

However, he neither touched i, nor could he clearly see who had launched that attack.

"Is it Sakura? Or the 5th Divine Key?"

The Herrscher's thoughts raced in his mind, thanks to the mories stored in the First Herrscher Core. He knew Fire Moth too well, and naturally knew every combatant of Fire Moth.

But before he could fully consider it, a sound of breaking air ca, and even all the fog rolled back to both sides. So the first thing he saw was a pair of crimson eyes.

"You are—"

"Boom!"

The attacker didn't pause at all. He directly twisted the Herrscher's shoulder. The two bodies, with this inertia, directly smashed into the armored wall on the other side of the combat command room, creating huge dents and cracks.

"Mikael!"

Hua stumbled to her feet. With just a quick glance, she unhesitatingly called out his na.

But Mikael looked different now. Huge blue cracks had appeared on his body, making him look even less "human" than the Herrscher.

His feet were deeply embedded in the armored wall, and his hands were choking the Herrscher's throat, constantly trembling from excessive force. Hearing Hua's call, his eyes slanted slightly.

In those eyes, which were the sa color as when he was a Herrscher, were not the familiar gear-shaped pupils—but beast-like vertical pupils.

"Watch out!"

Hua had no ti to be stunned. She shouted a warning, but it was too late.

Mikael only had ti to slightly turn his body. The sharp [Lance of Longinus] pierced his left arm. The spatial power completely shattered the wound, and along with the remaining small part of his arm, it flew over Hua's head and slamd into the armor plate behind her.

Blood rain soaked half of her body. Hua's eyes imdiately beca horrified—she saw Mikael stiffen his neck, his jaw trembling open, emitting a roar mixed with pain and anger.

His corners of his mouth were even cracked all the way by the traction of his muscles, revealing only two rows of sharp teeth hanging with blood. Then, from the gaps in his cheeks, puffs of white steam spewed out.

His hands didn't stop either. First, a headbutt directly stunned the Herrscher who was brewing the next wave of attacks. Then, he used his intact right hand to brutally and savagely punch the Herrscher's face.

"Bang!"

Half of the Herrscher's head was completely flattened, and his body was deeply embedded in the armored wall. Mikael held the wall with one hand, pulled out his feet, and regardless of the gurgling blood flowing from his tattered boots, he stomped on the Herrscher's abdon.

The Herrscher constructed a blazing fire wall in front of him, but Mikael did the opposite.

A green arc of lightning flashed, and the armored wall exploded outward. After the fog of ice and fire in the combat command room had completely dissipated, everyone could only see the huge gap in the armored wall, and the explosions and vibrations constantly coming from the gap—each sound ant the shattering of an armor plate.

For the surviving people, the lucky thing was that this terrifying sound was constantly moving away.

"Where is he going!"

All the display screens had stopped working. i could only hold her broken glasses, close her eyes, construct a map of the base in her mind, and determine Mikael's location based on the loudness of the sound.

Her thinking was only a mont slower than Protheus, who had access to all the base's information. They almost simultaneously announced Mikael's target—"Elevator!"

Naturally, it wasn't the conventional elevator Mikael had just used, but the rapid deploynt elevator specially used to transport large goods and materials!

"He's crazy! With his current body..."

"Boom—boom—boom—boom—"

How many layers of special armor plating had been broken through, neither Mikael nor the Herrscher could say. In the lee, the Seventh Herrscher, who mastered six Herrscher powers, naturally regained the upper hand—

"Boom!"

The armored wall behind Mikael shattered under the load, turning into large pieces of tal falling down. In the face of their destructive power, which far exceeded the limits of biological flesh, this human-made alloy armor plating was as fragile as sheet tal.

The Herrscher continued to exert force, choking Mikael's neck, but he could no longer push further, because Mikael's body had broken through the last layer of armor plating outside the base and embedded into the rock layer of the earth.

Even a Herrscher had to have a certain respect for nature.

As for the flas emanating from his whole body, they were just offset by the cold air escaping from Mikael's body, so that along the way, they left lingering white steam.

The Herrscher's five fingers continued to contract. The skin on Mikael's neck had already burst open, which ant that the Herrscher's fingers had broken through Mikael's skin and deeply embedded into his flesh.

Perhaps influenced by Lezren's consciousness, seeing this situation, the Herrscher, who thought he had victory in his grasp, couldn't help but say a few words to show off:

"Do you know? Your—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Mikael's clenched teeth gradually loosen, and the corners of his mouth, which had been cracked all the way to his ears, twitch slightly.

Was he smiling? Or...

The Herrscher didn't understand the aning of Mikael's expression, or perhaps—he didn't have ti to understand.

He suddenly found that his hand couldn't exert force... No, it wasn't that his hand couldn't exert force, it was...

Was space frozen? No! It's freezing! It's [Yaksha]'s ability!

The Herrscher's heart trembled. He had unexpectedly overlooked this point. Since Mikael had sohow shown the ICHOR factor abilities of [Parvati] and [Śeṣa] earlier, he would naturally also have [Yaksha]'s!

How to solve [Yaksha]'s ability? He began to search Mikael's fragnted mories—ah! Right! The power of the Herrscher of the Void can...

In frozen space, even the concept of ti was blurred. He didn't know how long he had been thinking, whether it was just a mont, or 0.1 seconds, several seconds?

And it took ti for him to invoke the power of space—after all, the muscle mory in the core wasn't his own mory. Even if he imitated it, even if the strength of this power was so strong that he could almost run rampant, in the mont of life and death, he ultimately revealed this flaw.

When the golden light erged from his body, when he was about to break through the frozen space, Mikael had already endured the pain, first using the sharp blade growing from his forearm to cut off the Herrscher's arm choking his neck, and then holding the Herrscher's shoulder, turning his body, pushing him all the way back, and finally pushing him to a platform.

Above the platform was a straight and narrow tunnel. Mikael glanced at the ergency launch button beside him. It was too late to reach it with his only remaining hand, and it was even more unrealistic to reach it. He didn't have ti to think. He kicked out with his right foot and stepped on the launch button. The release of the restraining device at the bottom of the elevator platform and the lighting of the electromagnetic catapult track occurred almost at the sa ti.

Mikael only felt the upper part of his vision suddenly darken. A huge impact force ca from above, making him almost unable to stand.

Only then did he feel a slight pain in his right leg. Mikael trembled his neck and gently lowered his gaze, only to find that his right leg had already been sawed off by the sharp burrs on the edge of the tunnel at extrely high speed, and was now nowhere to be seen.

And the reason why this pain was said to be slight was only because, under comparative perception, the pain caused by this missing arm and leg was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain caused by the forced devouring of [Vishnu] ICHOR factor, and the need to maintain a human form and maintain humanity as much as possible.

Not to ntion, now there was also this huge overload...

Mikael struggled to turn his neck again. The Herrscher, who was being held down by him, also stiffened his neck and rolled his eyes, obviously, he couldn't fully withstand this huge overload either. Moreover, he was being held down by Mikael, his back constantly rubbing against the tunnel, creating a series of sparks.

Suddenly, the light in front of him brightened. Mikael's hand holding the Herrscher couldn't find a point to exert force for a while.

However, Mikael didn't have ti to see anything or do anything. He and the Herrscher were thrown into the air by the huge inertia, and because of this inertia, the blood in his body was rushing to his brain. In an instant, Mikael could only see a blood-red in his vision.

His consciousness was also gradually worn away in this back-and-forth trauma of the brain.

"Is this the limit... Forcibly devouring the power of [Parvati], [Śeṣa], and [Yaksha] with [Vishnu] is only enough to contend with the Herrscher for such a short three minutes..."

"Mobius... In the end, I couldn't fulfill all your expectations..."

"Ding-ling-ling—"

"Uh!"

He heard a familiar and tiny sound. In the midst of a daze, he realized that it was the sound of the necklace left by Seele, tied to his right wrist, being blown by the wind.

"Seele!"

In a blood-red background, Mikael saw a small and blurry figure.

"Mikael-Oni-Chan, it's not ti to rest yet..."

Where that voice ca from, Mikael didn't know, nor did he have the mind to know. He just treated it as an illusion appearing in his mind.

Although he didn't understand why the illusion presented Seele's posture and Seele's voice, but...

"Yes! It's not ti to rest... After my consciousness falls asleep... Before my consciousness falls asleep... I still have sothing I should do!"

The sound of the wind was endless. His body still didn't feel the pull of gravity, which ant that not much ti had passed—or rather, ti hadn't even started flowing.

That consciousness, which had gradually been on the verge of collapse, reunited again, so that his gaze was clear for a mont.

Next, he took advantage of this imprint left in his mind for a mont, stretched out his increasingly strong and powerful single arm, which grew in the opposite direction of the dissipating and disintegrating consciousness. Ice and snow continued to extend along his arm, eventually grabbing the Herrscher's ankle.

"Hahahahahaha!"

He swung the Herrscher's body in mid-air and rolled forward. He poured all his strength and all his consciousness into this mont, until he no longer rembered what he was doing, just relying on the inertia of his body to let go, flinging the Herrscher towards the distant earth.

"Whoosh—"

The Herrscher's body drew a black diagonal line in mid-air. As the tail of the diagonal line appeared in his vision, ripples of space spread out.

The Herrscher crashed back-first into the scorched earth. At first, his body and the ground made only a slight "puff—" sound, but the next mont, a huge roar like a continuous surge of waves.

At this mont, whether it was the Fire Moth mbers in the underground base, or the family mbers and civilians in the shelter, they all covered their ears, opened their mouths, and bulged their eyes to resist the vibrations that were so violent that they almost shattered the "sky" of this underground city.

The pink crystal wall didn't even last three seconds in front of the dust raised by this vibration. Fortunately, Kevin, who had been healed by the 6th Divine Key, constructed an ice wall in ti, and Elysia followed up with a crystal wall... Deploying defenses backwards in this drum-type manner, until the seventh defense wall, finally barely blocked all the aftershocks of this blow.

Elysia imdiately summoned a huge crystal pillar and climbed to the top.

"Ah—this is!"

What she saw was a huge hemispherical pit, centered on the forr artificial lake, with a diater of nearly one kiloter and a depth of nearly one hundred ters.

Kevin also climbed up. Before he could stand firm, he took a long, drawn-out breath—"Hiss—who did this? Is there such a powerful existence in the base now?"

Just in terms of the extent of the ground depression, the kinetic energy produced by that blow had already far exceeded that of general nuclear weapons. In Kevin's understanding, there was only one person in the entire Fire Moth who could possibly launch such an attack...

But, did he really have this ability at this ti?

Elysia seed to feel sothing. She suddenly looked up at the sky, where a black dot was free-falling.

The black dot grew larger and larger in her vision—not only the change in size brought about by the distance, but the black dot itself was also growing in size, until it fell into the pit, rolled along the pit wall for tens of ters, and was finally covered by the rising dust...

Elysia's heart trembled with the sound of the black dot landing. She had a bad feeling. Like Kevin, she naturally knew that only he in the current Fire Moth could achieve this level of individual destructive power, but...

"Beep beep—"

"Communication is restored!"

Kevin excitedly waved his fist. Then he heard i's voice: "Kevin, are you... Can you and Elysia transmit the image of the ground back?"

"Okay! Okay!"

Kevin checked. The combat recorder on his collar was still usable. But just as he lowered his head to check, Elysia suddenly jumped off the crystal pillar and rushed towards the pit.

"Elysia!"

Kevin and i shouted in perfect synchronization. He imdiately stomped his foot and followed.

"i! That's Mikael, right? That's Mikael, right!"

"...Yes. But... Elysia, you need to calm down now!"

"Calm down..."

Elysia put her right fist on her heart. She silently repeated it in her heart, and then her footsteps beca slower and slower, and finally stopped at the edge of the pit.

i and Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as Kevin, who was trailing behind, caught up with her, she suddenly jumped up again, trying to rush into the pit. Fortunately, Kevin constructed an ice wall in ti to block her.

"Don't stop , Kevin!"

"Elysia, trust i. She has her reasons for not letting you get close to Mikael."

Elysia turned her head and looked deeply at Kevin. The latter imdiately understood the aning of her gaze—if it was i lying in the pit now, would you stop?

What's more... Kevin turned his gaze to the center of the pit. The Seventh Herrscher, who had been beaten up, stumbled to his feet, using his power to simply replace his severely damaged body. He glanced at Kevin and Elysia from afar, and then took steps towards the pile of "minced at" further away.

This ti, Elysia really couldn't calm down. She just bit her teeth slightly, and the ice wall that Kevin tried to block her shattered in his shocked gaze.

"Elysia!"

Kevin could no longer stop her, but a rather young and weak voice just happened to connect to the communication at this ti, and also stopped Elysia's steps towards Mikael.

"There's no need to go, Elysia."

"Mobius, what do you an?"

"Heh! What kind of tone is that?"

Things had co to this point. The more anxious Elysia's heart was, the more impolite her tone would naturally be, especially since the other party was Mobius.

Her mood was extrely complicated, corresponding to the two results ntioned in Mobius's answer.

"If I say that even the Herrscher's current state is probably far superior to you and Kevin, you probably won't listen to this kind of persuasion, so..."

The Seventh Herrscher had already walked to a place less than a hundred ters away from Mikael, and raised his hand towards him.

"It's ironic, you traitor... Do you know that your core, your body, kept holding back in the battle with your companions, preventing from using my full power? Hehe... But the mont I encountered you, your core was able to achieve near-perfect synchronization with . How much do you have to hate yourself..."

The Herrscher's words naturally didn't receive an answer. He carefully looked at what was in front of him, which was just a pile of minced at—Mikael's body had already begun to disintegrate along with his consciousness the mont he fell.

Now, apart from being a little larger in size and having a strange blue color, it was no different from other corpses that had fallen from a high altitude—at least in the Herrscher's eyes.

So he just sneered twice, seemingly mocking Mikael, who had been betrayed by his own core, and seemingly mocking his own overthinking at that mont.

But now, it's better to be safe—the hand he raised towards Mikael clenched tightly into a fist.

Then, bone-chilling ice spikes, scorching flas, and蜿蜒 lightning snakes surged out together. The three energies with different attributes triggered a violent explosion at the mont of intersection, and rolling smoke once again covered everyone's sight.

"Ah!"

Elysia suddenly covered her mouth. Mobius was naturally very dissatisfied with being suddenly interrupted. She spat softly and continued to speak:

"So, I'm telling you—there's no need to go. After all... the real battle is just beginning, and I also want to invite you to witness: the greatest experint I, Mobius, have ever conducted. Let you see what a true MANTIS Warrior's..."

"Hey! Mobius, can you not plagiarize my stage script?"

"Vill-V! Is this the ti for you to interrupt!"

However, no one cared about their bickering. Elysia and Kevin looked intently. When the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the minced at belonging to Mikael, which was in the center of the explosion, was—unhard.

"How is that possible!"

The Herrscher looked at this scene, slightly stunned, until he saw that where the smoke had passed, space also rippled like water. He realized that just now was... [Yaksha]'s ability to freeze space again.

However, when he realized this, the last chance had already been lost.

A blood-red eye suddenly opened in that pile of blue minced at.

At the first sight of that eye, the Herrscher realized—that was not Mikael, that was definitely not Mikael!

Or rather, that was definitely not a look that a human could have! If the previous pair of eyes carried a trace of human rationality in addition to madness, the current pair of eyes, apart from desire, anger, and tyranny, did not have a trace of consciousness that should belong to a human.

The Herrscher just stood there for a few seconds. Suddenly, the sky darkened. He suddenly stumbled towards Mikael, but then stopped abruptly and began to run in the opposite direction!

His initial actions were naturally not out of his own will, but were attracted by a kind of gravity. He ran in the opposite direction of gravity, while looking up.

He saw that almost all the Honkai energy in this world had gathered in the sky, so dense that it almost blocked out all light.

Then, this Honkai energy quickly twisted, rotated, and converged into Mikael's body.

Even the Honkai energy in the Herrscher Core couldn't escape this traction.

And what was attracted was not only Honkai energy?

The ashes floating in the air, the loose soil on the surface of the scorched earth, all floated towards the sky at this ti, and then converged towards Mikael.

After a short while, with a sudden and dazzling lightning flash, the vortex quickly collapsed and condensed, eventually forming a thick black fog within a few hundred ters of Mikael.

A spatial rift opened at the edge of the black fog. The Herrscher jumped out.

The surrounding air was also filled with a burnt yellow smog. He realized that there was no longer that strong traction in the black fog, so he gradually stopped running and looked warily at what was in front of him.

"Gurgle—"

A series of dull and indescribable echoes, I don't know if it was the breath of the life in the black fog, or the protest from its still-remaining abdon...

"Crack-crack-crack-crack—"

That was the constant cracking of bones, which could only an that the size of the guy inside was still growing.

As if to verify his guess, the black fog was still expanding outwards at a slow speed, until it completely covered the entire pit. The Herrscher had to jump out of the pit.

The expansion of the black fog stopped here. Now everyone's eyes were focused on this place, either nervous or expectant...

"Boom—boom—"

The earth shook twice.

Then, a strong and powerful heartbeat, through the black fog, through the air, was transmitted to everyone's eardrums.

At the sa ti, their heartbeats also began to beat with it.

"Thump—thump—thump—"

"Thump, thump, thump, thump—"

"Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump!"

Elysia covered her heart. The excessively fast heartbeat made her feel a little uncomfortable. Kevin beside her was choking his throat, almost unable to breathe.

Suddenly, the heartbeat stopped.

A mountain ridge broke through the black fog and towered, until the complete arched structure was exposed, until the head and limbs were revealed, the onlookers could believe that the mountain peak that had just towered was just the monster's spine...

And now, it stood upright, reaching the sky, and let out an inhuman roar in an inhuman form—

"Mooo——————"
