Ding--
It's like the sound of metal and stone intersecting, and the crisp sound echoes.
The sudden flash of lightning seemed to have been paused, and it suddenly stopped in place.
"It's amazing that he can still launch such an attack after his power is exhausted. It seems that I found the right person."
Without even the slightest change in his tone, Kevin grabbed Mei's blade with one hand, making her look extremely ugly.
"I have no intention of being your enemy, Raiden Mei, have you ever thought about why the Herrscher of the Void became like this? She has absorbed the power of other Herrschers more than once, and even the lightning power you possess is only a part of what she absorbed. Even if you save her this time, she will still take the same path next time.
Only by joining the World Serpent and sealing the Herrscher with us can we stop her from losing control. I can promise that once the Stigmata Project is completed, you and she can return to ordinary life."
Kevin's words made Mei feel a little shaken, but before she could respond, a Sub-Sky Spear suddenly attacked Kevin.
"Let go of Mei!"
The space was distorted, and Kiana forcibly teleported to Mei and saved her from Kevin. But when she wanted to teleport away again, the space was directly frozen.
"Kiana, why did you come back?" Mei, who was not afraid of Kevin, was a little panicked at this moment. She thought Kiana was safe and she could die happily, but now Kiana came back here again, which meant that she would be in danger again.
"Idiot, do you want everything I've done to go to waste?"
Kiana just replied softly, "I won't abandon you."
After that, she focused her attention on Kevin.
The surrounding space was directly frozen. This situation was beyond Kiana's cognition. She finally realized how powerful the enemy was this time. But she absolutely couldn't leave like this. Both Mei and Su Jue were still here.
"In that case, then all of you stay."
As she waved her hand, the extreme cold formed a cage that continued to shrink inward. Simple physical attacks were ineffective and could not penetrate the thick ice layer. If they continued, they would be frozen in the ice prison.
In the face of absolute power, any effort is meaningless.
However, Kiana did not give up. She took out an injection from her pocket. This was the injection she asked for from Su Jue. It was a special inhibitor made by Tianming.
He decisively stabbed it into his body, a warm current flowed through his body, and the pain in the wound became dull as if it had been anesthetic.
"Kiana, what are you doing?" Seeing Kiana's actions, Mei instinctively felt something was wrong.
"Listen, Mei, I'm going to use my last bit of strength to send you out. I don't blame you for joining Kindred, but you must protect yourself." She whispered.
"They are monsters just like the World Serpent. If there is a chance, we must..."
"how about you?"
"I..." Kiana looked up at the sky. Although it was covered with ice, she could still feel the warm air. "I want to stay with him..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the power of the Herrscher of the Void was stimulated to the extreme. With the help of the potion, Kiana broke through the space blockade and forcibly constructed a Herrscher-exclusive channel in the imaginary space.
"Mei, goodbye."
Kiana pushed hard and Mei was swallowed by the space channel. Due to the blockade, there was no way for the two of them to leave together.
This was an extremely long-distance transmission, and she could only vaguely locate the direction of Tianqiong City.
After sending Mei away, the ice was less than 5 meters. Kiana held the bracelet and waited quietly for her own sleep.
If that warm flame hadn't been lit.
The sky melted.
Chapter 1 Final Battle
"If the plan fails, I will most likely die in Changkong City this time, and the power of domination will then be inherited by you."
A few days ago, in the Domination Theater that had fallen into silence, [Kiana] and Su Jue stood on the edge of the stage, gazing at the hazy golden tree in the endless void.
"Why take such a risk? Don't you have a more gentle option?"
"But Honkai won't give me time. The longer I delay, the slimmer my hope of escaping fate will be." Having said this, Su Jue turned his head and showed a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I have calculated all the possibilities. It won't be that easy to fail."
With determination in her clear grey eyes, [Qiana] knew very well that Su Jue would not give up this plan because of her persuasion. She pursed her lips and asked softly, "Is she really that important to you?"
Her words made Su Jue silent for a moment. He lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about this question seriously.
"Rather than saying she is important to me, it's better to say she is an indispensable existence in this world, just like the protagonist in the story. Even if the world is destroyed, as long as she is still alive, there is still hope. The story cannot end here, and she cannot die like this. I am just an insignificant phantom in this world, and she is the only savior of this world."
"But to me, you are the savior of this world."
[Kiana]'s voice echoed in the theater, and she looked into Su Jue's eyes, wanting to see a different answer.
But Su Jue just smiled and said nothing more.
Isn't it the same for him? Everyone longs for his own savior, but can never save himself.
As if noticing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Su Jue stretched out his hand, and a rotating Qianlu core emitted light in his hand.
"Everything is just a plan. I have already sealed off the Domination Theater. The Honkai Will will not know my goal. If I can't even fool myself, how can I possibly fool Honkai?"
"..."
"Remember what I said. I can even lie to myself. How can you be sure that I am not lying to you now?"
Su Jue had a relaxed smile on his face, but [Qiana] couldn't laugh at all.
"You thought you had deceived yourself, but in fact, even you didn't realize it. Are you really deceiving yourself when you are so deeply involved in it?"
Neither of them noticed that in that pure white space, the Will of Honkai had been staring at the changes in the entire theater since some time ago.
……
In the dark sky, a dark red star began to twinkle. The next second, a blazing flaming comet fell from the sky and smashed directly into the frozen ice.
When the high temperature came into contact with the extreme cold, countless rising steam erupted instantly. The diffuse water vapor condensed again, causing the entire city to be covered with drizzling rain.
Above the square, unimaginable heat ignited the sky and even melted the air.
Kiana, who was imprisoned in the ice prison, seemed to sense something. She looked up at the sky and murmured the boy's name.
Su Jue.
Kevin, who had frozen the entire square, frowned. In an instant, the ice layer blocking him was completely shattered. A large sword burning with blazing flames tore through the constraints of space and fell towards him.
But he only took half a step back, extreme coldness gathered in his palms, and his five fingers grabbed the sword like an iron gate.
Even the flames of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire can be frozen by him; this level of high temperature cannot hurt him.
However, at the moment of contact, the burning giant sword seemed to be crushed, suddenly turning into an invisible sea of fire and passing directly through his fingers.
"Huh?" Kevin, who had caught nothing, turned around and noticed the boy hiding in the flames.
He immediately realized that Su Jue’s target was not him, but Kiana who was trapped in the ice prison.
After bypassing Kevin, all the flames turned into a terrifying spiral, with Su Jue at the center of the vortex.
He punched the ice prison heavily, and all the flames seemed to respond to his call, piercing into the hundreds of meters thick ice prison like a sharp sword.
Countless cracks began to spread, and the ice prison was like a large ice block being hit by a red-hot hammer, shattering with a hissing sound of evaporation.
The withered fragments shattered like mirrors, reflecting the figures of Kiana and Su Jue.
"Let's go, the experiment is over, let's leave." The boy's voice was calm, but it made Kiana, whose mood was fluctuating, feel at ease.
Unfortunately, what awaits them is not the joy of reunion, but sharp icicles.
Chi.
The extremely cold ice pierced Su Jue's chest and knocked him down from the sky. Kevin had no expression on his face, and snorted lightly. The ice cone that pierced Su Jue's body immediately burst into countless spikes, piercing his body from the inside.
The temperature was so low that the wounds caused by the storm alone made Meiyi feel numb all over, but at this moment the pain was spreading from Su Jue's most vulnerable internal organs.
The icicles pierced through his body, turning Su Jue into a hedgehog. His eyes widened, and blood gushed out from the wound, dyeing the sky red like fire.
Kiana, who stretched out her hand to greet Su Jue, froze in place, staring blankly at Su Jue falling from the sky.
"With this level of high temperature, there's another Herrscher out of control." After piercing Su Jue, Kevin did not let down his guard. From the brief contact just now, he had already felt that the threat posed by Su Jue was far beyond that of Raiden Mei.
This has nothing to do with the strength of the Herrscher, but rather the degree to which the Herrscher can tolerate Honkai energy.
As a perfect Herrscher, Raiden Mei can not only carry a large amount of Honkai energy, but also output it continuously and stably. It is like a reservoir with a switch that can freely control the size of the output.
But Su Jue was different. He was like an old and worn-out bucket that had long been overflowing, and the sluice gate had been opened, so he could only accept unlimited Honkai energy from the Imaginary Number Tree. In this case, the bucket that could only hold 50 liters was now filled with 100 liters, causing the outer layer of the bucket to leak continuously and there was a risk of explosion at any time.
"Is this the characteristic of the Herrscher of Fire? To gain the strongest destructive power at the cost of the most unstable state."
Ancient memories emerged in his mind, and Kevin, who had witnessed the previous civilization's Herrscher of Fire directly destroying Australia, had a cold look in his eyes.
At this moment, the space channel connecting to the Imaginary Number Tree in the sky suddenly broke, and twenty Hyperion Honkai Energy Engines exploded directly. The Honkai Energy of the entire Changkong City was completely drained in just over ten minutes of the experiment.
No one knew what information Otto had obtained from the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, but Kevin would never let him take the Second God's Key away so easily.
He glanced at Su Jue who had fallen to the ground silently, and after confirming that the other party had lost the power to resist, he decided to retrieve the Key of God first.
The collapsed skyscraper was covered with frost, which condensed into a huge ice cone. Under Kevin's control, it floated into the air and pierced into the hole like a sharp sword.
Chapter 222: Destruction Will
It was like an iceberg slowly rising from the ground, and the whole city was shaking. In the broken hole, a ray of light was traveling through endless space, heading towards the other side of reality.
That is the One Thousand Worlds Vehicle, the Key of God created using the core of the Ruler of the Void in the last era.
However, with the rise of the iceberg, the already fragile space is on the verge of breaking, and the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle is in danger of getting lost in the turbulence of space at any time.
Just when Kevin was about to succeed, a golden light flashed from the sky, and then turned into a huge black and white lance, colliding with the ice cone.
"This blow penetrates the stars!"
The light dimmed, as if two mountains collided with each other, and the explosion caused even shook the space.
However, no matter how fierce the battle was, it could not attract Kiana's attention. In her field of vision, there was only Su Jue's figure. She fell from the sky and sat down beside Su Jue.
At this moment, Su Jue was covered in blood. The dark ice pierced almost every inch of his skin. The burning blood plasma kept flowing, making a hissing sound when it came into contact with the ice.
The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. Kiana didn't even know how to rescue Su Jue, for fear that the boy would shatter like porcelain if she touched him even a little.
Looking at Su Jue who was so miserable, Kiana's tears fell, but were frozen into ice particles by the low temperature.
Perhaps it was because he felt Kiana's presence that Su Jue finally regained consciousness. Looking at the bewildered Kiana, he gave an ugly smile.
"It's okay. I'm the Herrscher of Fire. This low temperature can't kill me."
Hearing Su Jue's voice, Qiyana was full of surprise. She wiped away her tears and sobbed, "You scared me to death. I will find a way to save you right now."
But the ice was too hard, and Kiana had already exhausted all her strength at this moment. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break the ice. She pressed her hand on the ice cone, as if she wanted to use her body temperature to melt the ice that pierced Su Jue's body, but the result was that she herself was frozen.
She still did not stop, and finally broke one of them with all her strength, but there were still at least dozens of icicles on Su Jue's body.
Her body temperature was getting lower and lower, her movements were getting slower and slower, and she felt more and more desperate. In the end, she even used her teeth, but still couldn't save Su Jue. "I will save you, I can save you." She kept saying, her lips turning purple from the cold.
Su Jue did not stop her because it was meaningless. Only by making her realize the strength of the enemy would she learn to hide herself in the future.
Looking at the fierce battle in the sky, Su Jue had a hint of regret in his eyes.
"Kiana, there is something I want to tell you."
Qiana, whose cheeks were pale from the cold, suddenly realized something. She immediately interrupted Su Jue and said, "I don't want to hear it. Can you tell me after we leave?"
"Actually, I have been lying to you all along. I..." He was halfway through his sentence when he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Fine cracks spread along his neck to his cheeks.
"Stop talking, please."
Qiyana knew very well that Su Jue was never a talkative person, and he would always keep everything to himself. But now he had so many things to say to her, which made her immediately think of the worst possible scenario.
last words.
"I'm sorry, Kiana, I couldn't break free from its constraints. The will of Honkai has always been lurking around me." Su Jue kept talking, his vision becoming more and more blurred, and the sound of Honkai kept echoing in his mind.
Human beings' understanding of the Will of Honkai is too shallow. They only regard it as the god in charge of Honkai, but have never thought that even gods can think.
He never took his eyes off Su Jue, but lurked beside Su Jue in the most insidious way.
Dolls, the core ability of the Thousand Herrscher, are born from countless desperate ordinary people.
Even Su Jue did not expect that the Will of Honkai would actually mix into the puppets in the form of humans. It was clearly an existence that destroyed civilization and could easily control the Herrscher, but it chose to become a part of Su Jue's power and thus spy on his actions.
Is it despicable? From the perspective of human morality, it is indeed despicable, but for Honkai itself, it is just a normal way to destroy human civilization.
Kevin was not wrong. Destruction was only the most direct manifestation of collapse. Its real power was to kill civilization itself.
"Let's go, it has awakened. My body is losing control. You will be in danger if you stay here."
As if sensing that Su Jue was about to die, the Honkai Will finally ended its dormancy and began to try to control Su Jue's body while constantly invading his consciousness.
