Chapter 330 Is This the End?
In the middle of the silent wilderness, Mikael had been waiting motionless for a long time.
In fact, even he himself couldn't explain clearly, what was the meaning of this kind of waiting?
"Aponia, Eden, Mebius, Destobia, Hen, Kosma, Thousand Calamities... that's about it."
If he wishes, he can now exert his final authority and reincarnate the entire earth. He is incomparable with this authority, because he is the end itself, so it is not difficult for him to prevent certain people or a certain area from being affected by reincarnation.
But...he doesn't want to! He didn't want it to end so hastily.
"The farewell of heroes and warriors must be grand and magnificent."
This is her wish and his wish.
Nowadays, the grand and magnificent curtain call has long become impossible because of his betrayal, but he hopes that this curtain call... at least, at least can be complete.
The thread of fate has been cut. At this moment, for all Ying Jie, their choices are entirely based on their own will, not the imposition of fate.
He didn't want to break this hard-won choice.
And he needs this too.
He needs to carry such a heavy weight on himself, because he needs such a heavy weight to stoop his body and make his center of gravity lean forward, so he has to step forward.
Besides... besides...
Although he knew it was impossible, he really wanted to be defeated now and end this nightmare-like reincarnation...
But after waiting for a long time, he could not wait for the Yingjie's counterattack.
"Is that the end?"
No, it was too abnormal to have such free time during such an important battle.
There are only two possibilities, either they have given up, or...
Yeah, how could they give up?
"Here you come? Why are you alone? Even if you come together, you are no match for me, but you come alone... Haha."
The corners of Mikael's lips raised. Three steps behind him, Sakura gently pushed the long purple knife out of the scabbard with her left thumb, and slowly grasped the handle of the knife with her right hand.
"Even if I am alone, even if I am alone, I will never allow you to destroy this world. Of course, if you absolutely have the need to do this, why not..."
"There are some things in this world that cannot be said, Sakura."
Mikael interrupted her decisively, as if he had expected this conversation.
"Compared to words, actions can actually prove everything, right?"
Sakura's breathing was obviously rapid for a moment, and Mikael bit his lip gently. The next moment started with a roar, and thunderstorms fell out of the sky, and each beam locked on Mikael's figure.
The blade cut across at extremely high speed, and the smoke stirred up by the thunderstorm rolled back to both sides. Sakura rushed to Mikael in two steps. Just as she expected, Mikael stood unscathed.
Next, the same old story repeated itself, with Sakura swinging the knife over and over again. Unfortunately, Mikael was able to narrowly avoid all the attacks at the slowest speed and with the smallest movements every time.
"drink!"
Sakura once again forced Mikael back with Yoichimonji, and then retreated into the smoke and dust caused by the previous thunderstorm.
"Mikael, stop it! Turn around now, it's still not too late."
The clear voice came from all directions, and Mikael's eyes followed, and he saw a flash of pink flashing from time to time in the smoke and dust around him, but he could not catch or predict the other party's trajectory.
"Stop? Turn around?"
The corners of Mikael's mouth twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and spit it out with great force:
"Sakura, nothing in this world can ever go back. Even if someone can control time, they can't kill cause and effect..."
Before he finished speaking, hundreds of cherry blossoms broke through the smoke and rushed out. The space was frozen at this moment, and then...
One, two, three... the purple sword light was getting faster and faster, gradually overwhelming the regeneration speed of the imaginary number barrier, and also squeezing out other colors in the entire world, until the thousandth sword light flashed through, The last piece of the puzzle was completed, and the whole world was bathed in purple lightning.
However, on the back of the moon where the atmosphere is so thin that it is almost non-existent, no matter how brilliant the lightning is, there is bound to be not much response.
The lightning and smoke disappeared silently. Sakura held the handle of the knife with one hand and pushed the blade towards Mikael with the other hand. However, Mikael also used both hands to resist the long knife, and the two were in a stalemate for a while.
In other words, it's just that one of them didn't exert his strength.
"Sakura, how many times have you frozen space? If I remember correctly, the next time will be your limit, right?"
"Yeah, but..."
Suddenly, the corners of Sakura's lips curled up.
"That's enough!"
She took half a step back, let go of her hand, and the Seven Thunders of Purification fell downwards. She turned around, and hit the blade of the blade with a whip leg. Then her body continued to rotate, and her right hand covered the handle of the skate.
"Now!"
She shouted, but she was not reminding Mikael, nor was she reminding herself.
The next moment, the space froze again, and only the purple long knife rotated and slashed towards Mikael's waist and abdomen, and the blade condensed with blue frost-colored ice edges drew a straight crescent moon from top to bottom.
At the same time, another thin figure flashed out of the darkness. She held a blue sphere in her hand and quickly rushed behind Mikael.
"Alas... Is this your tactic? Hua, Ying... It's really an old-fashioned sacrifice."
The freezing of space seemed to have no effect on Mikael. He reached his left hand directly into the rotating blade wind of the Seven Thunders of Purification, grasped the handle accurately, and then flicked it upwards, easily blocking Ying's last attack.
Ying's pupils contracted violently, but she breathed a sigh of relief in an instant.
That's right, it was expected that this was the last thing she could do. Even if she really died in the battle, what would it matter? Hua had rushed behind Mikael. Although he was blocked by the imaginary barrier, Ying had won precious time for her to open the simulated black hole.
Besides... Mikael, you really pretended...
Thinking of this, Ying was facing Mikael with a weird smile.
The next moment, her pupils turned into blood-red crosses, and her expression became dull. Then Mikael casually threw the Seven Thunders of Purgation in his hand, and the blade easily penetrated her body. She flew beyond the horizon along with the purple line drawn by the Seven Thunders of Purgation.
Until then, the feeling of sluggishness, as if she was under water, came late.
"Hua, you did a good job."
Mikael turned around and praised softly.
However, what he had to face was a face full of painful tears, and a question exactly the same as Ying's before:
"Why?"
Blurred vision is extremely fatal in battle, Hua certainly knows this, but no matter how she wipes it, the tears just flow more and more, as if to squeeze out all the water in her body.
It's really strange, those memories related to Mikael... Obviously, they were burned along with Yu Duchen's first rated power.
Admittedly, in the following months, some stories and connections happened between her and Mikael, but compared with the past six years, it was really a drop in the bucket, so she kept a distance from Mikael.
Besides, she didn't think that she would inherit the previous dependence on Mikael.
However, until she really stood in front of him again, Hua's emotions still slid uncontrollably to collapse.
She felt sad unconsciously in her heart, and then tears burst out uncontrollably.
She had too many things to say and too many questions to ask:
"Where have you been for the past three months?"
"Where is Alicia? Where is she?"
...
All these things left only one sentence:
"Why?"
Why do this? Why kill your comrades and family?
But just like before, Mikael did not give any response.
Or maybe his expression and actions had already responded, but in Hua's tear-stained eyes, Mikael's outline was blurred, so how could she see any expression?
She only saw him take a step towards her.
"Hua, your mission is complete. Next, take a good rest."
Mikael walked in front of her and reached out to touch her head.
Hua felt that she should fight and struggle. Didn't she attack Mikael before?
But at this moment, I don't know whether it was out of her fear of death or her body's resistance to fighting with Mikael. She couldn't gather a trace of strength in her body. Not to mention stopping Mikael, she couldn't even take a step back.
Finally, Mikael's palm gently covered her head and rubbed it, which was exactly the same as what she saw in the memory recorded by Yu Duchen.
However, the originally dry and warm palm had become cold and hard, like a stone that had been soaked in the long river of time for an unknown period of time.
Then, she seemed to hear someone sniffle and take a deep breath with trembling, but that person was not her.
…………
"Kevin! Kevin!"
"Uh..."
"Kevin! Wake up! Wake up!"
"Su..."
Before he opened his eyes, Kevin recognized the person who shouted his name loudly, after all, the voice was too familiar.
"Wait a minute... now!"
As soon as a ray of light leaked into his eyes, Kevin thought of something and jumped up in an instant.
However, as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt dizzy and was about to fall.
Fortunately, he never let go of the Skyfire Sword in his hand, so he used it as a support and did not fall immediately.
Su saw this and quickly supported him:
"Kevin, don't worry..."
At that time, facing Mikael's attack, although Kevin was the first to react and the first to try to distance himself, but as the strongest of Yingjie, Mikael's attention was originally focused on him, and the pressure on him in that direction was also the greatest.
If Hua was only buried an arm deep, Su had to dig more than 50 meters to dig Kevin out.
But his condition seemed not optimistic. He covered his head and spoke incoherently because he was too anxious:
"Su...Su...Mei...what about the others? How about the others..."
For a long time, Kevin did not get a response, so he thought Su's voice was just an illusion, but when his legs weakened slightly and his body fell down, a pair of familiar and strong hands supported him.
Then he knew that Su had always been by his side, and he was just silent, that's all.
In theory, silence means that everything is uncertain. As long as Su hesitates to tell the result, Kevin can treat it as if nothing has happened, whether it is good or bad.
But he is not the kind of person who deceives himself. He opened his eyes despite the dizziness, and felt his eyeballs spinning around in his eye sockets, as if they would pop out at the next moment.
He turned his head to look at his side. Su's figure kept spinning, but fortunately his arm could really feel Su's presence.
"Su, tell me quickly, what is going on now?"
The more silent Su was, the more anxious Kevin became. Not everything in this world must be explained clearly before it can be known. Sometimes silence is enough to show everything.
But silence cannot show everything.
Kevin shook Su's body for an answer.
He had a bad premonition from the moment he was dug out, but he wanted to know to what extent this uncertainty was unknown?
What about Mei's situation?
To be honest, Kevin put himself in Mikael's shoes. If he were Michael, when he knew that his opponent had such an important brain as Mei, he would definitely find a way to kill him as soon as possible.
Let alone whether Yingjie can restrain him, even if he can, it doesn't matter to Mikael.
Kevin never forgot that Mikael has the ability to split himself.
Fortunately, after a long wait, Su seemed to have finally sorted out his words, and his first sentence finally dispelled Kevin's prediction of the worst case scenario-
"Kevin, don't worry, Mei is fine, nothing happened."
Kevin took a deep breath and slowly loosened his hand on Su's shoulder.
But... It's not the time, "but" will always be there.
"But... Ying also lost the line just now. Now the only Yingjies alive are probably... you, me, Wei Weiwei and Hua."
The hand that had just been loosened clenched suddenly, squeezing half of Su's shoulder crackling, as if it was going to crush all the bones.
Su's brows trembled, but he said nothing. He knew that this was just Kevin's subconscious action under shock, and he didn't want to disturb Kevin at this moment.
"He... killed someone?"
Kevin covered his head with his other hand in pain.
"Yeah."
"Did he really kill someone?"
"Yeah."
"He killed them all?"
"Yeah."
No matter what Kevin asked, Su only answered with a seemingly extremely cold "Yeah".
If he could, he would also like to say more. But for the questions Kevin asked, perhaps a simple "Yeah" would be enough, and perhaps more words would only cause more harm.
After the three chances to ask and answer were all used up, Kevin's chest rose and fell rapidly.
But to Su's surprise, Kevin did not shed a single tear, and it took less than ten minutes for Kevin's breathing to calm down. Only the lingering coldness around him and the ice crystals all over the ground were still tirelessly telling of his unrest.
"Kevin, you..."
"I'm fine, Su."
"You...you..."
Kevin glanced at him and snorted heavily from his nose:
"Since Mei is fine, so much time has passed, she must have a battle plan, right?"
"..."
Probably in response to him, the person who had been suppressing his emotions since he dug him out and waiting until now finally couldn't help but murmured:
"Kevin..."
"I'm here, Mei. I'm always here."
Mei's battle plan was not complicated, and repeating it to Kevin was just a matter of a few words. Moreover, in the mental communication network, direct communication of consciousness only took one or two seconds.
"Is that so..."
Kevin nodded, and his vision was still erratic under the severe concussion, so that his nod almost made him fall to the ground.
But he understood, he understood everything - at least, he understood what he should do.
But before that...
"Mei, it seems that Su can only play a limited role in this battle plan, right?"
"Yes. Aponia and Hua have used mental attacks on Mikael, but they didn't work. Su's causal wheel didn't get any feedback..."
"Okay."
Kevin rarely interrupted Mei, but at least this time, he couldn't delay any longer:
"Su, this may be the last thing I ask of you as a friend."
"Kevin..."
"Leave the next battle to me. You clean up the God's Key on the battlefield, and then quickly return to the headquarters to protect Mei. Let Blanca be ready to open the space rift back to Earth for you at any time."
"Kevin, you are..."
"No need to say more, Su, Mei. I'm ready."
I'm ready to die in battle, but I hope you...at least the two of you, can survive.
…………
In the middle of the huge basin, the pseudo-black hole was visibly getting smaller and weaker, and finally merged into the dark night and disappeared.
After the pseudo-black hole disappeared, Mikael and Hua's figures also appeared.
"Mi... Mikael... I..."
The neck was tightly grasped, which was not suffocating for the fusion warrior, but it was not comfortable.
Of course, Mikael was also in pain. He still had a cold face and the whites of his eyes were full of bloodshot, but it was almost invisible against the background of the blood-red pupils.
His five fingers exerted force little by little, and Hua's expression became more and more painful, until finally, even the hands that had been holding Mikael's wrists fell down weakly.
How many? How many since Abonia?
Mikael didn't want to count, he was afraid that he would remember their faces.
But... for that future, he had to...
"Hmm?"
A bright white light suddenly lit up in the sky, and Mikael's instincts sounded. He didn't have time to think, and his body gave the most real reaction--
He threw Hua away in his hand, and the next moment, the bright white light hit him exactly.
