"Tsk——"
With a crisp collision sound, the knight's spear that was rushing towards him was once again blocked by ice that appeared out of thin air.
Looking at the stern face so close to her, Yulandel couldn't help but smacking her lips.
Trouble...
Although she is confident, she is not the kind of fool who cannot see the difference in strength.
The opponent's ability was oppressing her while constantly affecting the real world, constantly lowering the ambient temperature.
Although Yulandel did not think that the opponent's power was unlimited, in such an environment, even if she possessed the power of an entire world bubble, it would be impossible for her to continue to fight with the opponent.
The ambient temperature will stop dropping when it reaches minus 273 degrees, which is absolutely impossible to lower. At that time, the opponent only needs to expend very little energy to maintain this extremely unfavorable home advantage for her. On the other hand, the power of her Star Armor will only burn endlessly at an increasingly larger amplitude.
Stop fighting first and try to escape?
Just when Yulandel was thinking of a strategic retreat, the silver-haired world snake leader suddenly spoke.
"You are very good, a Valkyrie of the current civilized era." He said calmly, "Stop it, fighting against Honkai is our common mission, I have no intention of being your enemy."
Yulandel's eyes turned cold. She suddenly remembered why she was so persistent in fighting with the leader of the "snakes" to this extent. Her upright and clear voice was filled with an anger that was difficult to conceal:
"Fighting against Honkai? Your way of fighting Honkai is to continuously conduct cruel human experiments on ordinary people?"
As she spoke, Yulandel thrust her flaming lance towards the man's face with all her might, the rapidly flashing tip of the lance looking like lightning.
The man looked calm, not even looking at the rapidly approaching spear tip. Instead, he stretched out his hand so quickly that Yulandel's dynamic vision could not catch it at all, and grasped the lightning-fast knight's spear in his palm.
"I am not going to argue about the crimes committed by the World Serpent. In the face of Honkai, it is meaningless to consider these things. As the Valkyrie of Destiny, you should know better than anyone that no one can reason with Honkai."
Yulandel said coldly: "I don't deny this. Fighting against Honkai is the mission of Destiny. Destiny has committed unforgivable crimes for this. But no matter what, the mission of the Valkyrie will never include the option of killing millions of people in a city."
"You have crossed the line, leader of the World Serpent."
Kevin was silent. He really couldn't refute this statement. After several technological changes and the recruitment of the ideal form "Hato", the Stigmata Project designed by Gray Snake no longer required the indiscriminate killing of humans as it did five thousand years ago.
The so-called "Stigmata Project" designed by the Jackal did not have much practical significance in the beginning. The techniques and methods she used in promoting the so-called "Stigmata Project" were neither practical nor efficient.
For the World Snake, launching a large-scale indiscriminate killing in Sky City is more like actively committing stupidity to make the people of Destiny look down on them.
"..."
It has to be said that considering the anger and disdain expressed by Yulandel, Gray Snake's plan can be said to be quite successful, which made Kevin a little depressed.
Although he doesn't mind... he can even say he is willing to take the blame, and doesn't care about other people's opinions, but Kevin himself is a stubborn person. He won't deny what he did, and he doesn't care even if he is criticized by thousands of people. But if he is blamed for something he didn't do, it's a bit...
……never mind.
Kevin sighed quietly.
It's not like he has never done such things as indiscriminate killings on a large scale. One more means one more. Although the World Serpent is not of much use to him, it is still the offspring of "that person" after all, so he'd better take the blame for now.
Anyway—he wasn’t going to let this “strongest Valkyrie” go.
In less than a millisecond, the cold air within a one-kilometer radius was instantly compressed in Kevin's thought.
Yulandel's pupils shrank slightly.
She saw through Kevin's intention and released her grip on the gun without hesitation, but she was a step too late.
The absolute zero of minus 273 degrees froze all the air around Yulandel. The flames of the Star Armor burned fiercely in the crystals that were compressed to the limit, providing the holder with enough heat to survive in the extreme environment. However, Yulandel herself was still completely bound by Kevin's ice and completely lost the possibility of breaking free.
Thus, this battle between the "strongest" and the "strongest" came to an end after the strongest Valkyrie in the current civilized era was completely frozen.
Kevin tore open a space crack and threw the crystal that froze Yulandel into the blank bubble he had created when he was in prison in the Quantum Sea. He gently closed his eyes.
"I understand your feelings for your comrades, but you should know that with your half-baked extreme cold power, there is no hope of defeating me."
"...I know, so I'm not going to fight you here." With a low sound of footsteps, Rita slowly came behind Kevin, without any weapons in her hands, "I just want to know, how are you going to treat Lord Yulandel?"
"She is my descendant after all, I am not going to hurt her." Kevin turned around and looked at the expressionless Rita, "But you should know that your destiny is too much of a hindrance to the current World Snake. I have no way of knowing the purpose of your 'bishop', nor am I going to speculate on his thoughts. Therefore, I will temporarily accept your strongest one. After the World Snake has accomplished its purpose, I will naturally return her to you."
"..."
Rita smiled silently, her charming wine-red eyes were like dead water without any life in them.
She understood what Kevin meant.
Destiny is too troublesome, but as long as Yulandel is controlled, including her, the deputy captain of the Immortal Blade, the Destiny organization will not be a threat.
——The evidence is that he, who had already defeated Yulandel, could easily control himself, but he didn't even have the slightest thought of taking himself away.
I don't know if he saw through Rita's thoughts, Kevin glanced at her and said lightly:
"…World Serpent needs more talents. Are you willing to come with your captain?"
Rita chuckled. Her dignified smile was flawless in terms of etiquette, but it also seemed mechanical. "Forget it. For someone like you, Rita's insignificant power should be dispensable. It may seem like a very weak resistance to you, but it would be better for me to honestly report to the Bishop what I have seen and heard."
"Letting the Bishop have a deeper understanding of your power and avoiding unnecessary disputes is a better choice for both you World Serpents and Destiny. Don't you agree? Your Excellency, the leader of the World Serpents?"
Kevin was silent for a moment: "...I respect your choice."
After saying this, his body disappeared into the distance without any warning.
Rita clenched her fists tightly, her dark eyes fixed on the place where Kevin disappeared. She suddenly turned her head and left in a certain direction without hesitation, her steps heavy and firm.
Chapter 4: The store manager was fucked by Mei (sad) (k)
When Rita, who had made up her mind, stepped into the door of Hyperion Café again, the scene that came into her eyes made her freeze in place.
I saw a "Raiden Mei" with horns on her head kneeling on the ground in the middle of the hall in a daze, her face full of disbelief and unspeakable fear, as if she suddenly realized that she was about to commit an unforgivable sin and irreparable mistake.
Directly opposite her was a thick fog of strange colors. The fog floated in the store manager's palm, constantly changing its shape as his thoughts flickered.
In addition to "Raiden Mei" and the young store manager in the center of the hall, there were several men and women who formed a circle around the two bodies facing each other. Their expressions were either solemn, calm, relaxed, or flashing with vigilance.
Among the people surrounding the store manager and "Raiden Mei", some were very familiar to Rita, while others were quite unfamiliar to her - among the ten people who were vaguely gathered together, Rita even saw the silver-haired man who had brought her great frustration and powerlessness a few minutes ago.
Did he feel Rita's gaze? The silver-haired man glanced at the door, his icy blue eyes flashing with a hint of doubt, and then he immediately withdrew his gaze without interest.
From that sight, Rita simultaneously sensed the strangeness of "Who is this?" in the other person's eyes, as well as a very familiar condescending thought that "this person poses no threat to me at all" so "there is no need to pay any attention to her."
"..."
As a result, her already depressed mood suddenly became even more soft in this guy's eyes.
Rita's sudden intrusion... no, perhaps it should be said "patronage", did not have any impact on the incident in the hall. The young store manager did not even look at the jade maid standing at the door. He controlled the thick fog floating in his palm at will, shaking his head in admiration.
"Although it's not mature yet, it is indeed a complete power of corrosion - no, judging from the vitality it exudes, it's more like a microorganism that possesses life and the power of corrosion, rather than a simple power, right?"
"You have a really big heart to carry this kind of thing around with you," the store manager said with a smile.
"..."
Mei, the Herrscher of Lightning, bit her teeth lightly. She took a long, deep breath, lowered her eyelids, and tried her best to recall her recent experiences.
——Not long ago, the second after the store manager proposed to her, "I want the power of the Herrscher in you," before she could clearly resist this unreasonable request, he immediately added a sentence.
"It's not the thunder one, it's the one that erodes."
Erosion? This name was not unfamiliar, but it should not appear in this occasion anyway. The Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears. Then the store manager stretched out his hand to her in the next moment.
Because she did not feel any hostility from the store manager, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, did not react to this action. However, her body suddenly followed the store manager's action and dissipated the invisible fog in front of her.
Putting aside the "Origin" and the "End", among the twelve "Regular Sequence Herrschers", the Herrscher of Corrosion can be said to be the most special one among all the Herrschers.
Usually, Herrschers have a strong ability to perceive and discern other Herrschers.
The formation formula of the Herrscher is "sufficient Honkai energy to condense into the Herrscher core" and "a qualified person who can become a Herrscher". When these two conditions are met at the same time, regardless of whether the latter is human or not, they can become a Herrscher after the core is generated.
As an apostle with the power of servants, the Herrscher has extremely strong control over Honkai energy and extremely keen perception, and the Herrscher core itself is a substance that emits intense Honkai energy. Therefore, if two Herrschers meet each other, then at the moment of meeting, they will be able to easily sense that the other is a Herrscher.
Although the goals of all Herrschers are consistent in general, not all of them who are controlled by Honkai are on the same front. The Herrschers want to destroy "everything except themselves", so when two Herrschers who are also controlled by Honkai meet each other, the most likely thing to happen is a life-and-death battle, in which the winner takes all and the loser is eliminated.
However, the Herrscher of Corrosion is the only one that is difficult to be detected by any Honkai energy detector, including the Herrscher.
Because the Herrschers of Erosion themselves have no form, there is no solid core formed by a large amount of Honkai energy in their bodies - this is also the reason why people in the last civilization era, although they detected Honkai energy fluctuations equivalent to the Herrscher's energy level in the Herrscher's bodies, have not been able to confirm its true form.
And the facts that happened later also proved that even if the Herrscher of Corrosion was killed, and the body that contained the violent Honkai energy was killed, its body and power could still spread unscrupulously, causing irreversible damage to the real world.
When did the Herrscher of Corrosion possess her? After a strong sense of fear, Mei Raiden began to rack her brains to recall her recent experiences. A thin layer of cold sweat covered her forehead, and her eyes widened:
"Is it... that time?"
She recalled everything she encountered when she submerged her consciousness into the deepest part of the Herrscher's core. It was an indescribable "space of nothingness", the source of the Herrscher's power. In that space, she encountered the "Will of Honkai Impact" that controlled the vast majority... uh, a minority of Herrschers.
When facing the "Will of Honkai", she felt as if something wanted to force its way into her consciousness, but was blocked by the power of conquest. At that time, she thought that this was the way the "Will of Honkai" controlled the Herrscher, but now it seems... the feeling of having her mind invaded was not the work of the "Will of Honkai" at all, but the masterpiece made by the formless Herrscher of Erosion.
"........."
After sorting out the current situation, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, couldn't help swallowing, because she realized what it would mean if she re-entered the Paradise of the Past, which was essentially a data space, while hosting the "Hersher of Corrosion". Although she didn't get along well with some members of He Yingjie, she absolutely didn't want these memories to be destroyed by foreign invaders because of the mistakes she made.
Thinking of this, she stood up and said to the young store manager with a serious expression: "Thank you for finding it before I made an irreparable mistake. I..."
"..."
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly paused. The Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, quickly glanced at her other "self" and Kiana, and pursed her lips: "It seems that the 'me' from the other world has also received a lot of care from you."
"It's not like I'm taking care of you. After all, I know several of your peers, so it's hard for me to treat you as complete strangers." The store manager shrugged. "I'll take the power of erosion for now. It's a great tonic for my store employees. I think you don't mind."
"Is it... this lady?" The Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, turned her gaze behind the store manager. She looked at the beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, and a complicated expression flashed in her eyes.
"My name is Theresa, you can call me Yuexia." Yuexia smiled faintly.
The dignified demeanor and gentle tone of voice made Mei Raiden feel a strong sense of disharmony when facing this extremely familiar face.
"By the way, I'm the store manager's wife."
Suddenly, Yuexia took a step forward and came to the side of the young store manager. She stretched out her arms and held the store manager's arms in her big and soft bosom. Her blood-red eyes were extremely watery, and her rosy cheeks were as beautiful as flowers, looking like a queen declaring her sovereignty.
The store manager coughed and snorted, his face slightly red, but he did not struggle to break away from Yuexia's sudden attack. Instead, he grasped the white hand she extended with his backhand, and clasped his fingers together.
Guanxing raised her feather fan without saying a word, covering her cheeks so that no one could see her expression. The two magical girls simultaneously turned their gazes in the direction of Sirin. Although Sirin did not react on the surface, her hand that was trimming the banner could not help but tremble violently... and so the welcome banner that had been prepared all night was miserably broken into two pieces by her out-of-control scissors.
Kiana and Raiden Mei looked away with blushing faces, their eyes unfocused, as if they were remembering something.
"Uh..." Looking at Theresa's adult body and a boy younger than herself holding hands intimately, although the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, felt a little strange in her heart, she did not have any other thoughts about the couple in front of her.
Not understanding why the grown-up Theresa suddenly declared her sovereignty over the young store manager, she could only congratulate him in a slightly bewildered tone: "Congratulations...?"
"Congratulations... you s--!!!!"
"Congratulations... you s--!!!!"
Outside the door, two roars with different tones but equally angry were heard without any warning.
What followed was a burst of thunder that broke through the air.
Rita, who was closest to the door, quickly moved aside, and saw a girl with several transparent lightning wings spread out behind her force her way into the door of the cafe in less than a second, her body wrapped in blooming lightning. Another silver-haired loli swung her short legs at a dazzling speed and ran in. Her red, tender little face was full of shock and a strong sense of shame.
The Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, was stunned when she saw the third "Raiden Mei" who suddenly broke into the cafe. The manager of the cafe was also in a trance for a moment after feeling the "Herser's will" that he had suppressed personally.
Eh? Wasn't he kicked out of the world by the cocoon of that world after helping Mei from Changkong City suppress the Herrscher's Will? Normally, Mei should have forgotten about him a long time ago, and there would be no way for her to enter his cafe again, right?
How did she get in?
Because of this confusion, the bewildered store manager didn't even notice at the first moment why the man rushed into her store with an angry face. When she realized something was wrong, her collar was suddenly grabbed, and her whole body was pushed to the wall of the cafe by the other party's extremely tough action.
"Mr. Store Manager!"
"Humanity!"
"captain!"
"Mr. Assassin!"
"Hey! Are you okay?"
The four shop assistants in the coffee shop, and Brownie, who was a step behind and returned to the shop from Canghai City, all made worried voices at the same time. At the same time, the shop manager, who was forcibly pressed against the wall, looked at the murderous "Raiden Mei" with a stunned expression, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"Why did you lose control again?"
"..."
After hearing these words, the already murderous expression of "Raiden Mei" with thunder wings suddenly became even more gloomy.
She quickly pressed her face against it, gritting her teeth:
"You are such a heartless man. You have done that to others, yet you still want to distance yourself from them like you don't care!!"
As several cold gazes pierced the store manager in an instant, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing point.
“Stop, stop, stop!” The store manager was stunned. The instantly frozen atmosphere made him even forget to break free from the other party’s grip at the first moment. He began to argue for his innocence in a hurry, “Don’t talk nonsense! What did I do to you? My wife is still here, don’t mess with me! Miss Mei, I am a family man! Please respect yourself!!”
"You tried so hard to raise my consciousness to the clouds, and you still dare to say that you didn't do anything to me?"
