Chapter 118 Quantum Sea: All Dead
"Okay, now the rate of cell necrosis in half of his body has slowed down, but this is only a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution... However, even if we don't carry out any treatment, his physical fitness alone can still resist the Herrscher of Death. The power...is this the power of being a Lawyer?"
"Hey! Mei! I never said he was the Herrscher!"
"Oh? It doesn't matter. At most, it just proves that you don't know. It doesn't change the nature of him being a Herrscher."
"Then... Mei, you want to use him..."
"Don't worry, although humans do need a living sample of Herrscher, this is the person you brought back after all. It's entirely up to you to decide how to deal with him... In other words, at the current stage of humanity, this kind of thing has changed. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Mei took off her glasses and placed them gently on the table. Her right shoulder was sore from working for a long time. She rested on the back of the chair for a few seconds and then sat up straight again.
"Then...what do you want to do now?"
Alicia calmly sat beside Mikael's hospital bed, as if this move could create a gap between May and Mikael.
"Okay... I did want to borrow him from you for a while, but don't worry, I said, the decision is in your hands."
Mei's tone couldn't conceal her exhaustion, but she still stood up with strength, leaving Alicia with an unclear smile before turning around and leaving the closed room.
Ai Li took a deep breath, gently touched the flying flowers on her knees with her fingers, and asked lightly:
"How long are you going to keep pretending?"
"Ahem!"
Mikael sat up with one hand supporting him. His face was extremely pale, but half of his body had become necrotic and turned completely opposite black.
"Is this the power of the Sixth Herrscher..."
Mikael murmured to himself, not knowing whether he ignored Ellie intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hey! You... you... are actually Mikael, right?"
The person asked did not answer.
"...Mikael?"
"Ah...oh! What did you say?"
Ai Li bit her lip lightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
For some reason, she felt that Mikael's current attitude was completely different from before... as if he was deliberately avoiding her.
Forget it, let’s ask all the questions that need to be asked first.
But when she thought about it carefully, she realized that there were so many questions that she wanted to ask, and she didn't even know which one to ask first.
As a result, an awkward and suffocating silence quickly filled the small ward.
In the end, it was Mikael who asked first:
"So, what is the situation in your world now?"
Alicia instinctively took a breath and wanted to answer, but then she froze, and even her eyes became a little distracted. Although Mikael's words were simple, they revealed something invisibly. Lots of information.
"This world of yours"...
Therefore, he is really Mikael, just Mikael from another world...
She took two deep breaths and replied dully: "It's all...gone..."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Literally... excluding the Houkai disease patients, there are less than 200 healthy humans left in this base. From a biological perspective, it can be basically concluded that humans are in a state of semi-extinction."
"hiss……"
Mikael took a breath of air. Although he had expected it, the tragedy of this world still exceeded his imagination.
"Except for this city, the more distant areas have directly disappeared from space... There is an invisible wall on the periphery of the city. We can see the scenery further away, but as soon as we enter it, it will disappear directly and cease to exist. …”
Mikael has an impression of this. This is the phenomenon of the Quantum Sea infiltrating the world bubble. If we use a metaphor to explain it, those people or things that cross the invisible boundary have entered the water of the Quantum Sea. Naturally No more.
"Then...Kevin, Mebius, Hua, Sakura, Captain Himiko, Captain Hen, Velvet..."
"All dead."
"oh."
Mikael closed his eyes and his breathing gradually became slow and heavy.
"This is just a phantom in the bubble of the world, nothing to be sad about."
He comforted himself in this way.
Those familiar people and things have become unfamiliar here, and even Alicia's character is very different from what he remembers - maybe this is the heaviness brought about by the end...
None of these are important, the most important thing is to retrieve Qianjie...
By the way, Thousand Tribulations!
Mikael's face turned a little red, and he suddenly thought that he had made a very serious mistake before - because he was too eager to escape from this world and escape from Alicia, he actually forgot Search for thousands of calamities in this world bubble!
"By the way, Ellie, among you survivors... is there a man with a very weird temper?"
"eccentric?"
"Uh...just...the kind that keeps getting angry and swearing all the time."
Ellie tilted her head, poked her chin with her index finger, thought for a moment, and shook her head.
She wanted to say "no", but she just kept this posture and met Mikael's eyes...
The latter quickly looked away and wrinkled his nose.
"No...then...please bring me back, Ellie, but I...leave first."
"The injury doesn't matter?"
"It's okay."
Although half of the body seemed paralyzed, the authority of the Sixth Herrscher was just like the whole world, just a bubble in the water. As long as Mikael left this bubble, the body would be restored to its original state to some extent.
Ellie bit her lips lightly. She knew that this time it was probably a real farewell.
To be honest, the memory of that "Mikael" was a long time ago. Although it was not forgotten, it should not leave such strong emotions.
Perhaps, this is the entanglement of different worlds...
She still had a lot of things to ask Mikael, such as how she was in that world, and how those who had passed away in this world were in Mikael's world... And why Mikael, the Herrscher, could have his own consciousness...
But she could see that Mikael had urgent matters, important urgent matters. She was not "that" Alicia, and she had no right to delay his steps.
"Then goodbye!"
Aili smiled and said goodbye, and, not knowing whether it was out of the same entanglement and distance, she habitually raised her hand and wanted to poke Mikael's cheek.
Mikael groaned and turned his head unconsciously to avoid it.
Although he knew it was an illusion, the sadness and unwillingness were really rippling in his heart.
Aili in this bubble of world was obviously much more taciturn, but even such an Ai Li still concealed the pain in her heart when she said goodbye to him, and said goodbye to him with that familiar lively attitude, as if... as if this could encourage people to move forward firmly.
Fool... Obviously the two of them just met...
The golden light gradually enveloped Mikael's whole body. Because of the influence of the power of the Sixth Herrscher, Mikael's speed of calling the Honkai energy was a little slow, but fortunately he was already familiar with the use of the space power.
The next process was very simple. Since this bubble of world did not open a door for him to leave, he just had to find a window and climb out.
The specific operation is not complicated. Just let your perception spread to the entire world bubble with the power of space. For a world bubble with only one city left, this is not a difficult task. Then find a larger space crack on the surface of the world bubble, which is as fragile as an eggshell. He can leave here directly and continue to do... what he should have done... The power of space quickly dissipated. Mikael opened his eyes and planned to take another good look at Ellie in this world. Yes, even if this world bubble will eventually be destroyed and broken, I still want to imprint you in my mind, so that the traces of your existence will always exist in my mind. "Hmm?" The power of space captured an individual that should not have been captured. At the same time, Mei opened the door of the ward roughly. "Alicea, the core of the Sixth Herrscher disappeared!" "Hey!" The paralyzed Mikael suddenly jumped out of the bed. A golden light flashed, and the figures of the three people had disappeared on the spot. The next moment, the people who survived in the base died almost instantly and turned into ashes.
