Chapter 459 The One Sitting on the Throne

"Da-da-da-da-"

"Huh? Your steps are much lighter."

Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Mikael felt a little strange, but the emerald green shirt that was still very conspicuous even in the dark tunnel also made the identity of the person in front of him very clear.

"Yeah...but you really gave me a surprise."

"Oh? Really? I just suddenly remembered that I haven't appeared in this posture for a long time, so I wanted to try it. The jackal and the gray snake were shocked when they saw me."

Mebius didn't seem to feel the "double entendre" in Mikael's words. Perhaps because he grew up, Mebius's voice was a little hoarse, and his voice was no longer sharp, and no longer had the aggression of a snake spitting out its tongue like before.

Did Mebius' voice sound like this before? Mikael unconsciously recalled his first meeting with Mebius. Obviously, it was not the case, because the impression left by Mebius' voice from the beginning was "cold" and "humid". But now, all of these are gone, and what remains is... Maybe Mikael felt it wrong, he sensed a trace of fatigue in Mobius' voice, just like himself.

In a trance, Mobius had come to him, and suddenly, she sniffed, the darkness in the tunnel covered her unhappy look, but she could not escape the observation of Mikael's eyes.

"Huh! I was wondering why you are so happy, it turns out that you met that woman."

"Not entirely."

Mikael's Adam's apple rolled, and without Mobius realizing it, he had used the power of consciousness to read her memory of the past five hundred years.

"You also have a part in this joy and relief, Mebius."

Mebius certainly couldn't understand such a meaningless statement. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Mikael sharply:

"What happened that I don't know? Haha, I know that some people don't think of me unless they encounter difficulties. Even so, they will go to see that woman first."

Just like her voice, if it was still the "little" Mebius in the paradise, it would probably make people feel full of gunpowder when she said this now. But like now, it seems to be a kind of sorrow that makes people laugh.

Mikael hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand and gently put his arm around Mebius's shoulders.

"Unfortunately, you are right. Some unexpected things have indeed happened."

"Is there really something that even you can't handle?"

Mebius was a little unbelievable. She was just squeezing him with a harsh mouth. Mikael had already handed over the power of the end, which she knew very well, because that was the plan that Mikael had told her before the battle five hundred years ago. But despite losing the most important power, Mebius still didn't think there was any problem in the world that Mikael, who had the power of the twelve Herrschers, couldn't handle.

Unless...

"It's Prometheus..."

"It's hard to say."

Mikael shook his head.

The two looked at each other, and Mikael turned his head and glanced in the direction of the paradise.

"No way!"

Mebius's first reaction was of course not to believe it, but she soon realized that it was not impossible.

But does this mean that she and he will be enemies with them again?

"Let's go back to the World Serpent Headquarters first."

Mebius remained calm as always, and Mikael naturally had no objection. No matter how important the matter was, it would not be handled in a place where just staying there would make people feel depressed.

The passage to the Paradise of the Past World directly connects to the headquarters of the World Serpent. Mebius and Mikael walked out of the tunnel side by side. There were high stone steps on the side, and on the top of the steps, there was only a cold stone seat.

"Good aesthetics."

Mebius didn't seem to care about Mikael's praise. She sat directly on the steps, as if she was not worried that her white coat would be dirty.

"Don't sit down? Don't worry, this is the forbidden area of ​​the World Serpent. Only those who I think are "worthy of cultivation" will get the opportunity to enter the Paradise Trial, um, just like the little girl you sent ten years ago."

Mebius didn't continue the previous topic right away. She knew that Mikael's stay here was limited, but they were not machines to complete the task, but two living people.

Long-term separation will make people feel strange and alienated, even if the goals are the same, even if the relationship was once very close. So instead of discussing those topics stiffly and dryly at the beginning, it is better to use a light topic to bring the two closer together.

Of course, it doesn't have to be like this. There are also people who will not be alienated from each other even if they are separated for a long time. However, such people will no longer exist in this world.

"That little girl? Natasha?"

Mikael shook his head imperceptibly.

He seemed to have some "teacher" addiction, but despite being the teacher of Raven, he didn't have a close relationship with this student.

Perhaps it was because he had just ended his long slumber at that time. During the period after he helped Hua solve the final trouble and completely broke with Kevin, he only regarded himself as a person who had to do something. thing robot. He kept suppressing his emotions, and this situation did not improve until he became Mei's driver in Changkong City and relaxed his suppression of emotions for the purpose of cultivating feelings.

I just pity Natasha. The education she received from Mikael at a young age cannot be said to be very cruel, it can only be said to be very efficient. Of course, it also seems mean and impersonal.

Of course, perhaps the most outrageous thing was that after completing the preliminary training, Mikael directly gave her the address of the World Snake headquarters, allowing her, a little girl less than ten years old, to cross the entire Eastern and Central European plains alone. Came here...

Apparently, Mebius picked the wrong topic.

However, Mikael sat directly next to her, their shoulders leaned against each other, and the strangeness between them gradually faded away.

"That day in New Zealand, I met Sakura."

Mebius was mentally prepared, so she couldn't be too surprised, but even so, she didn't know how to respond for a while, so she could only let Mikael speak one sentence after another.

"In addition, those four girls should have met Su, and he pulled them into a world bubble separated from the original world... I don't know what he wanted to do. I have retrieved the running records of the Paradise of the Past , it shows that Sakura did not return to the Paradise five hundred years ago, which is inconsistent with what you reported. In addition, Su... I don’t even need to look, he probably didn’t return to the Paradise in the past five hundred years, right? "

Mebius frowned. In her memory, when she returned to the World Snake headquarters five hundred years ago, the man with a pair of fox ears or donkey ears could not tell, and also had an equally impressive head. The unpleasant pink-haired woman stood in front of where they were sitting now. She said a simple goodbye to her, asked about Mikael's situation, and then walked into the paradise of the past.

She saw her walking into the star gate with her own eyes, and of course she knew that it was possible for Su who was beside her at that time to do some tricks and form some illusions, but she didn't think she would be blinded by the illusions. Before the Eighth Collapse, or to be precise since the birth of the mentally perceptive fusion warrior, she began to research ways to make her body produce corresponding resistance. The results were minimal, but it was not without any effect. At least, just now Mikael checked her memory, and although she couldn't stop it, she could feel it. She didn't think that Su, a spiritually aware fusion warrior, could surpass Mikael, who had the power of consciousness, but... there was no need to argue. Since the matter had already happened, finding a way to solve it was the only correct attitude.

"Su did not return to the Paradise of the Past. He said that although according to Mei's plan or ours, there is almost no possibility that this world will not be saved. The difference is only in the method, but he still wants to continue the Hengsha Plan and try his best to find a way for the future. The best possibility. I have no way to refuse, and I have no power or means to force him back to the paradise."

"Ah...I'm not surprised by this."

Mikael still remembered that in New Zealand, when Hollander took out the Black Abyss White Flower out of thin air, she instinctively explained to him the existence of "Sumi Mustard Seed".

Although this world bubble constructed by the Second God's Key had already been born when Su first carried out the Hengsha Project, and if nothing unexpected happened, Youlandel must have experienced the journey of the Quantum Sea in order to obtain the key that she once had with Kara. The Bisi brothers and sisters took them to try to find and lure back the weapons to the Mu Continent. Otherwise, how would she get the name Youlandel?

In this case, it is not impossible for Hollandel to find the Sumeru mustard seeds abandoned by Su in the Quantum Sea due to the closure of the world line. However, according to Mebius, since Su never returned to the paradise, So Hollander should have met him now, right?

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect him... That's why I didn't report Su's whereabouts to you when we were in Changkong City."

"It's okay, this has nothing to do with you."

Mikael himself did not leave any more instructions five hundred years ago, and Su also had valid reasons. This was not Mebius's fault from any angle.

However, something can be inferred from this, although the actual value is not high - was it at that time that Su finally failed to accept Mebius's words and turned to a path that was hostile to him?

Or is he apparently carrying out the Hengsha plan, but actually looking for Kevin? It's not impossible.

"Well...since they can no longer be trusted, what should we do with Prometheus, who now controls the final power?"

Mebius quickly completed the change of position, and then quickly pointed out what was currently a real threat to Mikael.

"Prometheus..."

A sneer curled up at the corner of Mikael's mouth.

How could he not understand that Prometheus, who had mastered the power of the end and had become the "Hello Will", was the only one in the world who had the ability to threaten him? Not to mention that his previous mood had only a slight fluctuation and fatigue. , if you were so panicked that you didn’t even think of this, then you would be so sorry for the previous 50,000 years.

"Don't worry about her for now. There is no need to restrict her in the Paradise of the Past. Just monitor her. Now their purpose is unknown. Instead of chasing after her, it's better to let them jump out on their own. Besides, how could I not leave any options behind? Handing over such a powerful force to a being who I knew would betray me from the beginning?”

Dividing the final power was necessary for what he wanted to do. But this does not mean that he gave up the most powerful power that truly possesses all possibilities.

Not to mention the issue of trust or distrust, he has not forgotten the twelve years of his life that were controlled by another person who holds the ultimate power.

That cost him all twelve years. If that was not a life controlled by external forces, it might have been the most fulfilling and happiest twelve years of his life.

In order to prevent similar things from happening again, he was even cautious enough not to leave his own memory in the Paradise of the Past. How could he let Prometheus control the power of the end?

In fact, he can regain this power now, because from the beginning, what was stripped away by the Stigmata Project was only the final power, and the original power is still in his body as a gift left by Alicia. . The original twelve Herrscher powers are connected by the power of the Origin, and since he is Cocoon itself, he can regain the power of the End at any time he wants.

However, this is only the last resort. In fact, there are only two people in the world who can contact Prometheus, that is, the only two people who can execute the Stigmata plan.

One is Kevin who is responsible for the Chimera Project, which is the starting point of all human stigmata today, the Kaslana Stigma Space. The other is the true first stigma holder and the entire stigma holder. The end point of the trace closed loop, and at the same time the existence of the end itself, Mikael.

Only the two of them can contact Prometheus.

However, Kevin should still be in the Quantum Sea, and even if Su found him, he wouldn't be able to bring him back easily. The full control of the Second God's Key is in the hands of the World Serpent. Kevin's position in the Quantum Sea is well known to Mikael. With the size of a mustard seed, if he sinks to that depth without the guidance of the Second God's Key, Basically there is no way to come back...

"!"

Michael suddenly had a guess, why Su dragged Xi'er into that world bubble, and why Xi'er's consciousness did not return with the dissipation of the world bubble...

I see.

"Everything has become more interesting. I hope you can submit a perfect answer this time."

Raising the sword of rebellion to the sky, this is what they have been doing across two eras. But once, he stood with them, raising the sword in his hand, looking forward to pulling the gods down from their thrones. But now he is the one sitting on the throne of God, fully expecting to see what step the person wielding the sword towards him can take.

Suddenly, Mikael held Mebius' hand.

"Mebius, please promise me something."

She didn't respond, but instead held Mikael's hand tightly.

"I know that I am different from them. I will always stand by your side."

Mikael opened his mouth weakly. This was not what he wanted to say, but he was very happy that Mebius could say that.

So, he quickly adjusted his mentality and started laughing again.

"I heard that the position of Lord of the World Serpent has been reserved for me?"

"If you don't want to, you can give it to Kevin."

Mebius's smile was brighter than ever.

"You obviously said before that you would always stand by my side."

"You don't want it yourself!"

Even so, Mikael still stood up under the guidance of Mebius, and then walked step by step to the lonely stone seat.

"With my hands, I ascended to the gods. The dream I had back then has finally come true, but I always feel that something is missing. This is just right."

She pushed Mikael onto the seat, walked down the two steps, and clapped her hands gently.

"Click——"

A ray of light shined through the gap in the heavy stone door, and then quickly swallowed up the darkness. When the door was fully opened, facing Mikael was a group of people standing neatly. Jackal and Gray Snake stood at the front. Raven tried to blend in with a group of World Snake members, but the hood made her extremely confused. conspicuous.

"How about it? Although I know you probably don't care about this, I've done pretty well over the years."

Mebius turned her head and looked at Mikael, who was sitting firmly on the "god seat" she had made with her own hands, her eyes filled with relief.

But as soon as he turned his head, a trace of worry disappeared in an instant.

"We agreed to let God become a human again. Is this... really the right decision?"
