Ultimately, Fu Hua's warning and the vigilance she had developed during her months of exile led Kiana to choose to leave the area as soon as possible.
Regardless of whether Kevin found her or not, this is not a place to stay for long.
But by then it was too late to leave. A mere few thousand meters was a distance Kevin could cross in an instant. So when Kiana finished off the Honkai Beasts blocking her path and tried to retreat, she found the white-haired man already standing in her way.
Kevin just stood there, without any movement or expression, but even so Kiana seemed to be stared at by some kind of monster, unable to move at all, and even subconsciously gave up trembling.
It was as if, in the presence of this man, nothing she did would make any difference.
Looking into Kevin's deep eyes, Kiana felt as if she were facing a terrifying presence that defied description, as if the fear hidden deep within her genes had been awakened.
"Kevin? You...you're here to kill me?"
Kevin did not answer Kiana's question.
The next moment, Kevin's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Kiana, and the scorching heavenly fire in his hand went straight for Kiana's chest.
what?
Kiana had no time to react.
Unlike her previous battle with Durandal, where Kiana could at least try to dodge Durandal's attacks, Kevin's attack was different. Before Kiana could even react, Kevin was already in front of her, leaving her with no way to avoid it.
If it weren't for the scorching heat from the extreme temperature of the Heavenly Fire, Kiana doubted that even if Kevin pierced her body with that giant sword, she might not have been able to react in time.
Is this the power of Kevin Kaslana, the strongest warrior from the previous civilization, that the squad leader mentioned?
At that moment, Bronya, Theresa, Mei, Himeko, Fu Hua... all the figures flashed before Kiana's eyes, like a revolving lantern.
Is this what death feels like?
Kiana involuntarily closed her eyes, awaiting death.
But one second, two seconds... the expected death did not come, the Heavenly Judgment was blocked!
Fu Hua, it's Fu Hua!
At the critical moment, sensing Kevin's presence, Fu Hua's consciousness within the Feather Dust had no choice but to forcibly awaken and stand in front of Kiana.
"Kevin, stop."
The two warriors, who had fought side by side since the pre-civilization era, gazed at each other silently.
Looking into Kevin's eyes, Fu Hua knew that persuading this man wouldn't be easy.
"Kiana, I'll buy you some time. You need to leave now."
Before Kiana could say anything more, Fu Hua's illusory consciousness used the power of the Feather Dust to pull Kevin into the illusion.
Fu Hua was well aware that the Feather Dust's ability to influence consciousness had no effect on Kevin, so this illusion was never set up to deal with Kevin from the beginning.
The reason she created this illusion and pulled Kevin into it was simply because Fu Hua now only had a wisp of consciousness left, and only in the space of consciousness could she cause Kevin any harm.
"Kevin, I won't let you hurt Kiana."
"I have very little strength left, so let's decide the outcome with one move."
Within the illusion, Fu Hua took a step out, and all that she had seen, heard, and felt over the past 50,000 years was gathered together at that moment.
The experiences of the Misty Feather in London, the Shadow Knight Moon Wheel in the Destiny era, the White Night Butler who worked undercover at St. Freya Academy, and the Crimson Kite Immortal on Mount Taixu, are all integrated into this moment.
This punch contains the power of fifty thousand years!
Chapter Ninety-One: The Strongest vs. the Strongest, Otto Arrives Late
Back in the previous civilization, although they were all thirteen heroes, Fu Hua's strength was actually among the weakest.
Compared to other heroes with various unique traits, Fu Hua is far too "ordinary".
Of all the heroes, Fu Hua could only consistently defeat "Cat" Padfolis; the others were probably stronger than Greysh at that time.
Although she later underwent Dr. Mei's "Divine Sound" modification and participated in several of Mebius's experiments, which gave Fu Hua the potential to surpass other heroes, the previous civilization moved too fast. Before Fu Hua could develop further, the Herrscher of the End descended.
After the arrival of the modern civilization, Kevin, Fu Hua, and others went their separate ways, rarely meeting, and had no opportunity to verify each other's strength.
So when Kevin saw Fu Hua's punch, which contained "50,000 years of internal energy," even this strongest hero was shocked.
......
Kevin couldn't help but recall the scene when Mei conducted the "divine sound" experiment on Fu Hua. At that time, Kevin also wanted to accept the divine sound, but Mei stopped him.
According to Mei, Kevin's body has already reached its final form, and the divine voice can not help him much.
Fu Hua was different. At that time, Fu Hua was still a teenager and her body was still developing. Shenyin would stimulate Fu Hua's brain during this process, causing strange changes in Fu Hua's body and giving Fu Hua greater potential.
Kevin is now witnessing the power that this "potential" has manifested.
Even from Kevin's perspective, there was no way to counter this punch. Fu Hua's skills honed over 50,000 years had made her punches flawless.
What is even more valuable is the philosophy, spirit, and will contained within it. This punch encompasses Fu Hua's entire life and is a reflection of Fu Hua's 50,000-year life.
If Fu Hua had delivered that punch in real life, at her peak physical condition, Kevin would undoubtedly have suffered a severe injury as well. Unfortunately...
This is an illusion, and Yu Duchen's power has long since diminished to less than one-tenth.
In this situation, although Fu Hua's punch caught Kevin's attention, it was still far from enough to defeat him.
After the collision, a scarlet feather remained in Kevin's hand.
"What a pity, Hua. Your last move was indeed very strong, but you no longer have enough power to support it."
Kevin held Yu Duchen's feather in his hand. It was just a feather, but Kevin felt an unimaginable weight in it. This feather carried the last consciousness of his comrade.
"We could have witnessed together the day when humanity triumphed over the Honkai."
"..."
"You've already given so much, so take a good rest. I will complete our shared mission."
However, Fu Hua's punch wasn't entirely ineffective; at least Kevin no longer intends to finish off Kiana here.
Although Kiana is not yet able to fully control the power of the Herrscher of the Void, nor has she reached the point of "ascension," Kevin doesn't mind observing her further since Fu Hua trusts her so much.
But if Kiana ultimately fails to master the Herrscher power and is instead consumed by the Herrscher personality, then Kevin will have no choice but to apologize to Fu Hua and then kill Kiana with a single blow.
With this in mind, Kevin also put away the Feather Dust that housed Fu Hua.
Kevin's personal deployment this time has two objectives. The first is to kill the Herrscher of the Void, Kiana. The first objective is now temporarily on hold, and Kevin is preparing to pursue his second goal.
On the eve of the Herrscher of the End's imminent arrival, he wanted to see just how strong Schicksal, the organization resisting the Honkai, and its strongest warrior truly were. Were they qualified to stand alongside him on the front lines against the Honkai?
Having personally faced the Herrscher of the End, Kevin knew very well that if they were just small fry, no matter how many there were, they wouldn't pose any threat to the Honkai!
At that very moment, before Kevin could even set off, the person he was looking for appeared before him.
Even as the strongest Valkyrie, World Serpent's mech force couldn't hold off Durandal for long; after annihilating all the enemies in the base and arranging for the guard duties of Thousand Worlds Ichijō, Durandal launched a full-scale pursuit.
Then, Durandal saw the white-haired man in front of him!
"You are the leader of the World Serpent?"
Durandal didn't know Kevin, but her intuition told her that he was a terrifying opponent! And in the World Serpent, the only one with such strength was that so-called "Lord"!
Kevin didn't answer. Apart from old friends like Hua, Kevin always remained as icy and dormant as a block of ice when dealing with others.
Kevin looked Durandal up and down before finally uttering two words.
"......bring it on."
Thus, in this dilapidated city ruin, the strongest of the previous civilization and the strongest of the current civilization engaged in an epic battle.
And the result... the strongest of the current civilization was utterly defeated!
Kevin's power instantly transformed the entire area within a hundred miles into a world of ice and snow. In this white world, Kevin did not use the Heavenly Judgment, but instead chose to fight Durandal with his physical body.
Although it appeared to be a close match, it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that Kevin was playing with ease, while Durandal, while not giving it his all, was certainly playing with extreme seriousness.
Durandal did not use his Star Armor, but Kevin had just returned from a 1,500-year-old seal and was still in a state of extreme weakness, so the two were evenly matched.
Therefore, the outcome of this battle speaks volumes.
This was the first time Durandal had encountered such a formidable enemy. After being forced back by Kevin once again, Durandal could no longer contain himself and was preparing to use his Star Armor to unleash his strongest power. But at that moment, he was stopped by someone.
"Stop, Durandal."
Yulandel looked up, his expression instantly turning to surprise.
"Your Majesty Bishop?"
What's going on? Bishop Otto, weren't you just at the Schicksal headquarters in Europe? How did you get to this base in North Africa so quickly?
Did it fly over?
Otto ignored Durandal's surprise and, after stopping the fight, turned to look at Kevin.
“Leader of the World Serpent, you have fully demonstrated your power. In that case, I must return the favor with courtesy.”
“I am Otto Apocalypse, the current bishop of Schicksal. I think we can talk.”
Kevin: ...
