Chapter 370 I’m Sorry, Mebius

Chapter 370 Sorry, Mobius...

"Master, shall we... not take action?"

The one who spoke was still the first disciple Lin Chaoyu. Although everyone knew that the master had allowed them to go down the mountain and establish their own sects, it had not become a reality after all. At this moment, Lin Chaoyu was still the undisputed first disciple. If there was anything, it would be more appropriate for her to speak out.

"Master?"

Hua did not respond at all, as if he had fallen into a state of trance, so Lin Chaoyu called again.

"Hmm?"

This time, Hua finally came back to her senses. She waved her hand, and the invisible energy surged in her palm, and the wide sleeves made a "crackling" sound.

"Ling Shuang stays with me, and the rest go by themselves. I have already greeted the Valkyrie of Destiny in advance, so there is no need to worry about misunderstandings."

"Uh..."

Lin Chaoyu was standing half a step behind Hua. When she heard the master's order, she leaned forward slightly, as if she wanted to argue, but she soon lowered her head obediently.

As the first disciple, she had no objection, so naturally the others could not say anything. The next moment, they dispersed on their own and joined the battle to eliminate the group of collapsed beasts.

Only Ling Shuang was standing on the top of a building five steps behind Hua, holding the Xuanyuan Sword in her arms, in a daze, as if she did not feel the changes around her at all.

Hua did not say anything either, but just quietly looked at the street below where the flames were raging, as if waiting for something, or looking for something.

But the next moment, when she and Ling Shuang had noticed but had no time to react, a cold little hand rested on her shoulder, and then, a cold, sticky and extremely familiar voice sounded in her ears:

"Hehe! I didn't expect... the little girl who only obeyed others has become so mature and can make some judgments of her own."

Hua sighed and did not respond immediately.

Mobius's dark right claw grabbed her throat, and Ling Shuang, who had reacted, also placed the seemingly heavy and blunt Xuanyuan Sword across Mobius' slender neck.

The scene fell into a strange calm for a while, and no one was in a hurry to take action first, and no one was in a hurry to speak first. It was not until about five minutes later that Hua asked leisurely:

"Mobius, do you know what Mikael wants to do?"

"I don't know."

Mobius shook her head nonchalantly. She didn't seem to notice the sharp blade on her neck, so that this action directly caused the seemingly blunt Xuanyuan Sword to leave a blood mark on her almost pale neck.

Before Hua could say anything, she smiled and said:

"But what does that matter? I believe him, even if he doesn't tell me what he wants to do, but I believe him, that's enough."

Hua bit her lower lip hard, and it took her a long time to let go. She snorted coldly and asked back:

"Do you think I don't believe him?"

"It depends on what you think!"

Mebius raised his left hand on Hua's shoulder and admired his palm covered with black lines in the firelight.

"It's not that I don't believe him."

As if she was infected by Mobius, Hua also shook her head, ignoring the claws on her neck, and she immediately explained:

"It's not that I don't believe in Mikael. Or rather, it's because I trust him too much that I made such a decision."

"Hehe, that's a nice thing to say. Since you trust him, you should know that what he is going to do is right."

"Right? Mobius, I never thought that such a narrow definition would come out of your mouth one day. For different people, right has different meanings, and for us, the so-called right has only one thing from beginning to end-to defeat Honkai. For this only right, friendship, family affection, and love are all things that must be abandoned, if they conflict with defeating Honkai."

"Is this your understanding? It's not surprising."

Hua thought to herself that she was not the kind of person whose emotions were easily fluctuating, especially after being bound by Shenyin. Mebius' words might be considered peaceful if viewed from a third party like Ling Shuang, but for Hua, she always felt that every question she asked was filled with such infuriating meanings - come on, you don't know Mikael, and you don't trust him, otherwise you wouldn't stand against him.

"But, Mebius, do you think you know me very well?"

Does trust necessarily mean blind obedience?

She used to be like this. She would do whatever Mei ordered and Mikael wanted her to do. Even if she was reluctant to do something, she trusted them. She believed that their orders were probably correct, or maybe she just couldn't understand it herself.

But now it's different. Dr. Mei is gone, and Mikael has become the end.

This time, no one can tell her what to do or what she should do. She has to make her own judgment on everything.

Mikael woke her up five thousand years ago and begged her to trust him again. But what exactly does he want to do? This question has been pent up in her heart for five thousand years, and she is not without her own answer.

Because she knew Mikael, she understood that Mikael would never tolerate a world without Alicia. She understood this, Kevin and Su understood this, and she believed that Mebius understood it as well.

Based on this common understanding, the three people made their own judgments:

Kevin may think that Mikael wants to risk the whole world to get Alicia back, just like he did in reincarnation 50,000 years ago. After all, he is the last word.

As for Mebius, Hua doesn't know what she thinks. Perhaps as she said, she is willing to follow him and obey him because she "believes" in Mikael and because of something that Hua now vaguely understands. Even though he never explained the truth to her.

What about Hua himself?

She is actually in a conflict between two extreme ideas. Of course she trusts Mikael, but after all, he is the end... the incarnation of Honkai...

Fifty thousand years ago, she was the only successful sample of the divine sound experiment. For a long time after that, she often heard a voice whispering in her ear. She originally thought that the sound was just a side effect of the experiment. As time passed, the whisper appeared less and less frequently, until at some point, it completely disappeared.

Has it really disappeared? No, ever since she saw Mikael again not long ago, that whisper has come back again after fifty thousand years. The only difference is that now, she can finally hear clearly what that voice is saying - — "Kill Honkai!"

That's all.

And if what Mikael wants to do is consistent with Kevin's judgment, then based on rational considerations, she really should kill Mikael.

But what if it’s just as “Hua”? She did not think that the so-called "using incomprehensible means to exchange for Alicia", even if "fighting the whole world" would be Mikael's real choice.

Although she has lost her memory twice, she still thinks she knows Mikael well enough, at least better than Kevin.

However, she had the impression that she might have really forgotten something, so in the past two days, she had been using Yu Duchen to look through more distant memories all the time, even though this was a big problem for her, both physically and psychologically. A huge burden.

She originally vowed to throw away Yu Duchen's feathers filled with memories. Anyway, those memories were just another person's past to her. She only kept them because she was always afraid that one day even Mikael would completely forget them. . Even this would have overwhelmed her brain.

Unexpectedly, these memories that were considered useless actually came in handy at this time.

She found the memory she wanted——

Still remember, it was the early morning of the third day after Carol died in front of her. Mikael hugged her gently and asked her if she could believe in herself:

"Hua, if I say that I have a way to reverse everything, that I have a way to make every harm that Honkai has caused to this world cease to exist, but it is not in the form of erasure, would you believe me? ?”

Yes, maybe, Mikael has not changed.

What if he really hasn't changed?

Is it possible that from then on until he reincarnates in the world, all he wants to do is to reverse everything. Reversal of all the pain caused by Honkai Impact. Let Alicia and others, who have lived so proudly, continue to live so proudly.

Is this possible?

Yes, but Hua became even more frightened because of it.

While rummaging through her memories, she heard Mikael emphasize a sentence more than once, intentionally or unintentionally: "Everything has its price, and equal exchange is the lowest level of logic in this world."

If the price he has to pay for just wanting Alicia to live can be considered the world, then what is the price he has to pay for letting the entire world and Alicia exist?

Equivalent exchange, what can be equivalent to the entire world?

The answer is obvious, the only thing that can be equivalent to the world is the end itself.

So she said:

"Mebius, not only do you not understand me, you don't understand him either."

If Mebius really understands this, she should have the same idea as herself at the moment - absolutely, she cannot let him do this.

"hehe!"

Mebius sneered twice, "Maybe you don't understand what Mikael means to me."

Small electric arcs flickered between Mebius's fingers, and Ling Shuang's Xuanyuan Sword around her neck tightened a little. She was completely confident that she could take action in front of this person, but without the master's order, she didn't know. Should I cut off the head of this girl who looks younger than her at this moment?

After all, this guy seems to be an acquaintance of the master, so it's not easy for him to act on his own initiative.

But the atmosphere seemed a bit stalemate... Ling Shuang curled her lips, why did she feel that the atmosphere was going in another direction? He can't be Master's love rival, right?

Of course, she dared to think about it in her heart, with her face still looking cold and determined.

Then she heard the master's rhetorical question:

"And what does Mikael mean to you?"

"Oh, do you really want me to say it?"

Mebius' tone was very disdainful, but Hua's heart did not waver.

She had already fallen into endless self-questioning:

For Mebius, Mikael is undoubtedly a comrade-in-arms, a friend, a relative and even a lover.

But for Hua himself, what does that back figure that seems to be forever untouchable mean?

Is it the Honkai that must be killed and swept away, or is it someone who wants redemption and wants to move towards the future together?

This was the only reason why she came here. She didn't accept Kevin's inference and wanted to have a battle with Mikael here. On the contrary, although she argued against Mebius, she still had no idea in her mind what she should do, whether she should follow the divine voice's advice or follow her own judgment.

She was only here because she was supposed to be here no matter what, no matter what she chose to do, she had to be here.

And if you think about it more carefully, no matter what decision you make, whether it is to prevent him from saving Alicia at the cost of the world, or to prevent him from saving the world at the cost of himself, fighting is inevitable.

Although these two so-called possibilities are just her own imagination. But she said that she thought she knew Mikael, not to mention Mebius, at least better than Kevin and Su.

So, at this moment, she already knows what she should do, right?

"Come on, Mebius!"

"ha--"

Mebius' confused shout was abruptly cut off, and her throat was cut into two pieces.

Ling Shuang withdrew the Xuanyuan Sword and used her sleeve to wipe away the non-existent blood on the sword's edge. However, Mebius's neck was only deflected by less than half an inch based on the traces of the sword's edge.

Hua's breathing was heavy for a moment, and she turned around. Mebius's face was still so young and immature. Previously, Mikael said that among the people who are still alive, only Pado has not suffered the baptism of time. , but in her opinion, Mebius is still the same, with no change at all.

"I'm sorry, Mebius..."

She stretched out her finger and pointed at the center of Mebius's eyebrows. Under the external force, her head separated from her neck and rolled backwards. The reality fell on the bricks of the roof, and then rolled down the slope of the roof.

"You won't die like this anyway."

After the words fell, Hua's pupils suddenly shrank inward. She only had time to pull Ling Shuang over, and saw Mebius's broken body, which violated basic physics, standing upright on the spot and exploded into a sky full of mud——

"boom!"

…………

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

These four words were like some kind of spell. He was clearly determined to face Mikael with hostility, but when he said these four words, Kevin still responded like a man possessed.

But before he could even pronounce the name Mikael, a violent explosion came from the rooftop in the distance. He turned his head and saw the green arc remaining in the sky, like exploding fireworks.

"Mebius? Is she still alive?"

Although it was a question, Kevin didn't look too confused. After all, the possibility that Mebius was still alive was something he had been doubting since thousands of years ago.

He turned back, put his hands behind his back, and made a sign language that only Kaslana could understand. It was ordering Kallen to escape with the child first, and he himself took advantage of this opportunity to fight the Heavenly Fire Saint. Together.

Of course, on the surface, he was still asking serious questions:

"Mikael, don't you have an explanation for everything that has happened in the past fifty thousand years?"

"Huh? Explanation? Pfft...ah ha ha ha ha..."

Mikael laughed and rubbed his belly, and pointed at Kevin with his finger, seemingly mocking the latter's naivety in this exaggerated way.

"Explain? What can I explain?"

Along with his unbridled laughter, Kevin's face turned completely cold, and the blue frost-colored cold air spread out uncontrollably, freezing the ruins and flames within a hundred meters around him.

"Mikael, I don't know what you want to do, but if you still remember our common goal, if you still consider yourself to be our comrade, at least you once were, then you should at least respond to your betrayal. Apologize."

Kevin gritted his teeth and said such a long string of words word by word. This was his last effort.

Obviously, Mikael didn't like this.

"Apologize?"

Mikael held out two fingers:

"First, I'm not a betrayer. Of course, you won't understand what I said. Anyway, I don't think I need to apologize...Second, Kevin, you are already fifty thousand years old, it's time for you to be more mature. , and apologized...Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"Mi-kai-er-"

The roar echoed in the dilapidated streets, and correspondingly, two skyfire swords that looked exactly the same collided with each other.
