Chapter 659: Burial Ground

"Boss Mikael, I don't think I have anything special to say... Ahahaha, but Sister Ellie said that we should at least say a few words, so... Boss Mikael, I still have a lot of canned food, biscuits, and candies here. If you can come back, I... I will give them all to you!"

Pado hugged the cans tightly, and said with trembling ears.

"Heh! You little cat, why do you say it as if he can't come back?"

Mebius snorted coldly at first, and when his eyes met Mikael, he quickly turned his head away.

"What are you looking at me for? Will you come back if I say something like "You must come back"? Humph, I'm not that naive!"

Sakura's eyes were rarely so sharp, and she just looked at Mikael with a faint smile.

"I have learned my true ending from Mei, but if it was her, she would definitely convey her feelings to you in the end. So, it seems that there is nothing to add to my memory."

"I once longed for time to stay forever, but I have to say that at least at this moment, I hope time can flow faster. Don't worry, Mikael, everything you do will be meaningful. Unfortunately, perhaps I can no longer sing your story."

Eden is still the same, holding the jewel-studded gold cup in his hand, with a faint blush on his face after being drunk.

"The tangible fate can be cut off, but the intangible fate cannot be escaped. But that intangible fate does not come from the coercion of others-Mikael, you reached this ending with your own will, so you will definitely get what you want. This is not a prophecy, nor a commandment, but... a blessing."

Abonya lowered his head and clasped his hands together in prayer. Qianjie stood aside, arms folded, and responded impatiently:

"Me too!"

"Then I'll send my blessing too. This time... I won't do magic. Just be ordinary."

Vilvi looked a little abnormal. If nothing unexpected happened, the Velvi in ​​plain dress and without a hat was not any of the personalities that everyone knew, but the original and only Velvi.

"Really, you have said everything you can say. What can I say? Hiss——"

When Hen was not in combat, he was still as lazy as ever. Blanca twisted his waist lightly, and then took Greshu's hand again. The family of three waved to Mikael neatly.

"Uncle Mikael, this is the painting that Greshu just drew for you."

Greshu spread out the drawing paper expressionlessly, and what appeared in front of Mikael was just a touch of blue paint on a piece of pure white.

"I don't have anything to say."

When it was Kosmo's turn, he turned his back, contrary to his usual behavior.

Desdobia beside him smiled helplessly, and then helped explain:

"Amo means that he thinks you are handsome now!"

"I'm not, I don't, don't over-interpret it!"

Kosmo's tone was still calm, but the ripples on the water under his feet were messy.

"Finally this day has come, Mikael. Please believe in yourself and believe in me, you will succeed."

Su closed his eyes calmly. He already knew the ending, and what he did was just to push everyone to the best ending.

"I...think about it carefully, I don't seem to have anything to say, Mei, what about you?"

Kevin scratched his head blankly, with some stupidity in his voice. With Mei by his side, he finally handed the decision to the other party out of habit.

"You... Mikael, as my man said, all the polite words have been said, so there is only one thing he and I want to say to you - go forward and reach the end."

"..."

"Then... in the end, only Hua is left!"

Alicia smiled and pulled Hua in front of Mikael.

Hua looked helpless and a little terrified.

Finally, she looked at Mikael and asked in a low voice -

…………

"So, Mikael, are you looking for your own burial place?"

The fire crackled, casting a long shadow on the pale stone wall in the crater.

The man stretched out his hand and looked at everything familiar under his feet. His right hand stroked the Skyfire Greatsword he had taken from his comrade, and then his neck slowly turned and looked at the girl standing next to him.

She was not wearing the Shadow Knight armor today, but the gray-white long skirt that she had rarely worn since five hundred years ago. Her long hair was tied up high behind her head, hanging down to her waist. Her heavy bangs blocked one of her eyes, and also blocked too many complicated emotions that she didn't want to say.

Hearing what she said, Mikael pulled his hand back from the Skyfire Greatsword. Thick white steam rose from his hand, which was almost burnt into charcoal, and gradually recovered in ten seconds. Mikael didn't even blink during the whole process.

"Burial place..."

He muttered so much, and his face, which was hopeless, finally showed some emotion.

"I started thinking about where to bury myself a long, long time ago. At first, I hoped to bury myself back in Vostok-51 - if I could still find that place in the aftermath of the nuclear bomb explosion. Later, I wanted to bury myself on the moon. To be precise, half of it was buried on the moon and half was scattered in the universe...

"I'm actually very curious about what the universe looks like, but I'm also worried about the Earth, so I came up with this crude method. To be honest, it would be great if the Ninth Herrscher could create a real black hole. It would be a very romantic thing to spread my body throughout the universe through the black hole, right?"

"..."

Hua didn't answer, she knew that Mikael hadn't finished his words.

"However, these are all ideas from 50,000 years ago. I've spent too much time on the moon, far more than I've spent on Earth, and there's really no point in such a deserted place. Fortunately, I didn't die at that time, otherwise I would definitely regret it after being buried...

"To be honest, Hua, I've thought about it, maybe handing myself over to you and burying myself in Taixu Mountain is a good choice, but that would only confuse you and bring unnecessary trouble in the end, right? After thinking about it, there is only one place that suits me - I'd better take my body to the place corresponding to the current civilization of Vostok-51. It doesn't need to be accurate, just bury it in the approximate direction. In the end, everything became a ridiculous closed loop. Of course, the premise is that I still have a body left and you still remember today's conversation. "

"Mikael, can I understand that... is this your trust in me?"

"..."

Mikael opened his mouth, but quickly nodded.

"Yes, Hua, I trust you, whether in the past or in the future. So..."

"So, you want to entrust the future to me... I really... what virtue do you have. "

"I'm sorry Hua, I know that it must be a painful thing. But I have no choice. "

Hua pursed his lips and wanted to get closer to Mikael, but was burned by the Skyfire Sword that was inserted between the two of them and had to stay away.

"I... I understand, after all, this is what we agreed on at the beginning."

"Well... agreement..."

"Mikael."

"Well?"

When Mikael turned his head again, Hua's trembling voice just entered his ears:

"Mikael, otherwise, you should stop here. "

Mikael's eyelids drooped, and he didn't look at Hua, but looked at her hands tightly holding her skirt.

"I have found enough strength to support myself to continue living in the future, even if I live for thousands or tens of thousands of years. You are far better than me, as long as you are willing, you can do it!"

Seeing that Mikael did not respond, Hua continued to ask with some expectation... But, in the end, all he got was a question from Mikael:

"Why?"

"..."

"Why? Didn't we agree that at the end, you would give up everything to stop me? This is obviously our agreement. "

"But...but I really can't do it...Whether it is to stop you or kill you with my own hands, it is too cruel for me. If I only say what I really think in my heart, I just want you to stop now and don't move forward. "

"..."

"As long as you are willing to stop here, the disaster of collapse will end. No one can judge you as the end... and if you can't find the strength to support yourself to continue living... I can, I can try to become..."

"No, you don't understand, Hua."

Mikael smiled, with a gentle smile on his face, looking at Hua who was trying to hold back tears.

In this empty end crater, all the loneliness and sadness were magnified countless times like the echo of shouting.

For Mikael and Hua, at least at this moment, the two of them are the last people from the previous civilization on this planet.

What kind of loneliness is that? Mikael had actually imagined it many times 50,000 years ago.

They are two Neanderthals, who came to the civilization created by Homo sapiens 50,000 years later.

Admittedly, their appearance is actually different from Homo sapiens, but no one remembers the Neanderthals 50,000 years later. , and they can't even distinguish them.

Perhaps they can just blend in with the Homo sapiens and live like this.

But, after all, there are still differences.

The civilization of Homo sapiens does not belong to Neanderthals after all.

Or, they are like two fish, stranded in the riverbed due to the dry river.

Just when they were about to suffocate, it suddenly rained heavily, and the river was full of water again, and there were many strange raindrops flowing down the river, but everything they were familiar with, even the water plants on the riverbed, were no longer the same as before.

But even so...

"I admit that it is not difficult to abandon the past of 50,000 years ago, treat it as a dream, and then start a new life. People always want to live. As long as there is a little thought of living, the brain will find a reason to live for itself. So, Hua, don't worry, the impulsive voice in my heart has always told me to accept you completely and stay in this era. As long as I live, I can create more stories and more possibilities.

"But... my rationality does not allow me to do such a thing. Indeed, as the End, I am undoubtedly the God of the Earth. No one is qualified to judge me, and as long as I hold on to my power, no matter how hard Kiana and the others try, they will never be able to defeat me. However, I still cannot get over this matter in my heart, and Alicia must not want to see such an ending."

"..."

"So, Hua. Just treat it as a plea from you. Send me off as we agreed a year ago. I don't think I will feel any regret if I die in your hands."

"Is that so... Is that so..."

Hua closed his eyes sadly, and a golden sword emerged from his hand.

"I understand, Mikael. I won't say that again. It's simply an insult to your determination. From this moment on, all I have to do and should do is to give you the recognition and blessing from [Hua] for your dream."

"Then, as [Fu Hua], you have to enjoy and protect the future that I can't welcome."

Even though they were smiling at each other and saying words of blessing, they were pointing swords at each other.

But this kind of thing is commonplace for Mikael, and he is very familiar with it.

Hua's sword blade was equally sharp, but when swinging the sword, he still hesitated a little. Such a flaw would not be a flaw that could be caught even when facing Kevin, Qianjie and others, because even if a normal person realized it, he would not have time to react. But the one standing in front of Hua was Mikael, who had the power of time.

He was one step slower than Hua in holding the Skyfire Great Sword. The moment his palm touched the hilt, his flesh and blood blurred under the high temperature and stuck to the hilt. This seemed to be the resistance of this special user of the Key of God, which should not have emotions.

However, Mikael's sword was still cut out before Hua.

To avoid injury, he had to block with his sword, but Hua did not do so. Instead, he straightened his body and stabbed Mikael with the sword in his hand.

"Boom--"

The entire End Crater shook, and even the stars in the sky seemed to be falling.

There was no Hua in front of Mikael's eyes, only the smoke and dust from the collision still filled the opposite rock wall.

Mikael raised his hand and touched the small hole on his chest clothes, and sighed softly:

"What a pity Hua, if your sword was a little longer, or your movements were a little faster, you could hurt me."

"That's really... a pity..."

A red light suddenly appeared in the gray-black smoke, it was a tiny fire, and when it was held in Hua's palm, even this last light disappeared.

But Hua's body was dyed red in an instant, the gray in his long hair faded, like burning white snow, and spots of blood spread from his neck to his left cheek, like the traces of a red candle dripping after melting.

"Be careful Mikael, at least, this is the strongest posture I can show at the moment."

"Are you sure you want to advise me to be careful?"

"Haha, that's right."

The two figures met, but in just a few breaths, the sound of ping-pong became one. Until the two crossed, Hua trembled and let go of the remaining hilt in her hand and threw it on the ground.

With a "clang", Hua turned around with her left hand holding her sore right arm, and the remains of hundreds of Domination Keys scattered on the ground, outlining the trajectory of her previous charge.

"It seems that in front of you, a thousand Domination Keys are not enough... But I don't know whether the Domination Keys will run out first or my physical strength will run out first..."

For Hua, this was the second time she entered and maintained the state of overweight super-change for a long time in the long 50,000 years. Every cell in her body was in pain because of the super-change. She was not used to this feeling and could not support it for long.

Mikael did not reply. He held the Skyfire horizontally in front of him, and then took the initiative to charge.

The two figures crossed again. Hua's body stopped and almost fell forward. Fortunately, she summoned a Domination Key again and used it as a crutch to support her body.

She used her lower abdomen to press against the long sword and turned around little by little - fortunately, this time she did not gain nothing, at least the Skyfire Great Sword was now covered with cracks.

"Dang -"

Mikael threw the broken Skyfire on the ground and kicked it to the side.

"Well done, you are now worthy of me using this weapon."

He reached out to the top of the crater, and the earth shook again, and then a red line cut through the space. When Hua looked at him belatedly, Mikael had already grasped a vermilion spear.

"Hua, can you still hold on in the third round?"

"Don't underestimate me."

Hua gritted his teeth and stood up again. In silence, the figures of the two crossed for the third time. Mikael still stood straight, swung the vermilion spear and held it behind his back, and Hua couldn't help but stagger forward two steps after stopping, and finally knelt on the ground with his hands.

"Three rounds... It seems that this is how long I can last in your hands... It's longer than I thought."

"Yeah, so, it's time to end it."

Without further nonsense, Mikael closed his eyes and walked towards Hua slowly with his gun in hand.

The failure came so quickly, but not suddenly.

In other words, both Hua and Mikael should have expected the current situation.

So, Hua was not panicked. She took a deep breath, letting the hidden power flow into her limbs, and then glanced at the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire less than a meter away from her.

This God's Key was not completely destroyed, and she had no idea what kind of power would be produced when her own flame was mixed with the flame that symbolized the power of fire, but at least it was worth a try.

She remembered the position of the sky fire in her heart, then closed her eyes and carefully felt the distance corresponding to Mikael's footsteps——

"Now!"

She opened her eyes and her hand had already touched the Heavenly Fire Holy Seal first.

However... it failed.

"when--"

The next moment, the sound of collision rang out. Hua climbed up with all his strength, and the Herrscher of Knowledge stood in front of Mikael holding the broken Skyfire Sword. (End of chapter)
