Playful! Collapse!

But now, if he didn't come up with a specific plan to deal with the Ruler of the End, Kevin felt that even if the other party wanted to kill him with a sword, he would die with regret.

It’s just a pity that Kevin, who was already beaten half to death by Yuan Yan, now has a lot of life energy sucked away by the Demon King Sword.

Although Kevin, who was much stronger than Su, was not sucked to the point of aging and death by the Demon King's Sword, his injuries had not healed and his life force was being drained. The usually easy action of raising his head had exhausted all his strength.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you had this thing on you."

After seeing Kevin raise his head slightly, Yuan Yan walked to Kevin's side and directly grasped the hilt of the Demon King Sword.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Yuan Yan did not pull out the demon sword that exuded evil energy as everyone expected.

On the contrary, at this moment, Yuan Yan directly activated the power of the two corrosive Herrschers in his body, used the Demon Emperor Sword as a conductor, and blasted the power directly into Kevin's body.

The power of the Herrscher of Corrosion is not very impressive in terms of pure biological destructive power, but in terms of corroding organisms, two copies of the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion are enough to corrode the now dying Kevin.

Just like that, Su, whose body had just been eroded, looked at Yuan Yan pulling out the Demon King Sword from Kevin's body, and let out a long sigh of helplessness.

Although Su knew the result from the moment he was invaded by the other party.

But when Kevin's body was also invaded by the other party, Su still felt a sense of frustration that "this time, it's all over."

On that day fifty thousand years ago, the Herrscher of Corrosion wiped out humanity's last hope.

And today, fifty thousand years later, the Ruler of Erosion of this era once again took care of these two remnants of the Fire Moths on the spot.

Considering Kevin's character before he was plotted against him, Su was very suspicious that Kevin was the first to take action on the other side of the Quantum Sea.

If the facts are really as Su guessed, then it would be too ironic.

The tragedy that befell Ling was an accident caused by Aponya's well-meaning precepts.

The reason why Yuan Yan attacked him and Kevin was probably because Kevin didn't know Yuan Yan's background and took the initiative to attack Yuan Yan.

The tragedy of the Herrscher of Corrosion was all caused by the proactive actions of the members of the Fire Moth.

And these two results destroyed their hopes twice... Alas, what kind of black humor is this.

"Alright, alright, guys, stop looking so gloomy."

Seeing the bitterness that flashed across Su's eyes and Kevin's obvious complex emotions, Yuan Yan helped the two of them up from the ground and used Holy Light to heal the injuries they had sustained from his beatings.

"To put it bluntly, my actions just now were because you two were too strong."

"It's precisely because you two are so strong that I have to take some precautions to prevent you from making any inappropriate moves."

"After taking all the necessary precautions, I'm truly ready to talk to you about how to save the world."

“How do we save the world?”

Looking at Yuan Yan, whose expression had calmed down a lot, Kevin spoke directly.

"I admit that your current strength does indeed suppress me, but the strength you previously displayed in the Quantum Sea is not enough to defeat the Herrscher of the End."

"The Herrscher of the End is an enemy that humanity will inevitably face. As long as you don't have enough power to defeat them, in the end, you will have no choice but to execute the Stigmata Plan we are preparing."

After saying these words, Kevin had roughly guessed what the other party would say.

The man in front of him would either directly ask what the Stigmata Project was, or deny the plan even though he knew its general outline.

After all, although this plan is a guaranteed bottom line, most people will definitely find it very abstract when they see it.

Not to mention the people of this era who still don't know the horror of the Herrscher of the End, even Kevin, who has survived for 50,000 years after making up his mind, is extremely reluctant to carry out this plan.

But soon, Kevin found that he seemed to be completely wrong.

Yuan Yan in front of him did not ask any questions, nor did he show any expression of disgust or rejection. Instead, he nodded slightly to Kevin and Su.

"Well, that's certainly true."

"Until we resolve the Herrscher of the End, the Stigmata Plan is indeed the best plan."

"So, please ask Mr. Gray Snake at the World Serpents Headquarters to continue to lead the World Serpents' patriots in preparing to implement the Stigmata Plan. It's just that..."

"I personally hope that your methods will be a little softer."

"If you're going to conduct human experiments, at least use those damn bastards instead of just grabbing whoever is easier to catch."

Having said that, a smile appeared on Yuan Yan's face.

"If you continue to act like you did before, I might be very unhappy."

"What did you say?!"

Listening to Yuan Yan's words, Gray Snake 1904 asked Yuan Yan in disbelief.

"You... don't even plan to stop the Stigma Project???"

"about this point......"

Listening to Gray Snake 1904's speech, Yuan Yan asked in confusion.

"Have I ever told you that I want to stop the Stigma Project?"

On that note...

After reviewing the intelligence held by World Snake with his brothers through the Grey Snake Network, Grey Snake 1904 discovered something extremely embarrassing.

Yuan Yan would definitely stop them from carrying out the Stigmata Plan, as if it had been the Gray Snakes' one-sided idea from the very beginning.

And now recalling what Yuan Yan said when the two sides first communicated in Jiuyou...

"I think we're quite compatible. How about we arrange a time to meet up so we can discuss our plans and destiny together?"

So, he was actually serious when he said that?

Although he knew that Yuan Yan was so easy to talk to now because he had defeated Kevin and Su, two masters, and had taken the initiative, but now looking at Yuan Yan who seemed to have not lied at all, Gray Snake 1904 always felt that this group of cyborgs were busy running around, but in the end, a red nose appeared on their faces that shouldn't exist.

"Oh, to avoid you disbelieving me, I'll be frank—I personally don't like the Stigmata Project, and I have a method for dealing with the End."

"It's just that you've all been preparing for so long, and I'm not 100% sure right now, so after thinking it over, it's better to keep it as a backup."

Listening to what Yuan Yan said, Kevin, who felt much more comfortable after his body was healed, felt that his emotions were becoming more and more complicated today.

He didn't know whether what Yuan Yan said was true or false, but the problem was that even if Yuan Yan forced them to do something, the two people whose bodies were eroded by the corrosive force would not be able to make any move to resist him.

As a result, Yuan Yan treated their injuries and instructed Gray Snake in a gentle voice to continue preparing the Stigmata Plan.

During this process, Yuan Yan basically did not change the World Snake's course of action except for asking Gray Snake to replace the subjects of human experiments with villains.

"Of course, I believe in Mr. Kevin's determination to save the world, so in order to prevent you from overworking yourself, please join me and Mr. Su for the time being."

After saying this, Yuan Yan picked up the Demon King Sword that he had thrown on the ground after pulling it out and threw it to Kevin who was still sighing.

After Kevin subconsciously took the sword, he felt like he was about to explode.

As Kevin grasped the magic sword that only the Demon Emperor could use, he felt as if his mind had lost control.

At this moment, he saw all his past experiences flashing before his eyes.

In the end, Kevin returned to the Fire Moth base from the battlefield of the end and saw the cold body of his dead lover.

However, these mental shocks did not defeat Kevin.

Even if his power as a 'Chimera' cannot be fully exerted due to lack of energy, relying solely on his experience over the years is enough to support him to survive the negative effects of the Demon Emperor's Sword.

At this time, Kevin, holding a long sword, regained his self-consciousness and saw that the ground where he was standing was covered with ice crystals.

Are these... the cold sweats I've been sweating from because of the excessive stimulation from this sword?

When Kevin thought about the fact that Yuan Yan had held the sword more than once before and seemed to be fine, his heart was suddenly filled with worry.

His impression of Yuan Yan has actually been constantly changing due to his understanding of the current situation.

Phase One: Kevin, knowing that Yuan Yan is a Herrscher, decides to take away Yuan Yan's Herrscher core in order to leave the Quantum Sea and for safety reasons.

The second stage - Kevin, who was beaten up by Yuan Yan but survived and had his injuries healed by him, began to think that Yuan Yan might be the kind of Herrscher that Alicia was looking for.

And now, after entering the third stage - Kevin, holding the Demon King Sword, began to worry whether Yuan Yan's heart had long been abnormal.

Letting such a person be the actual leader of the world snake...

Is this really appropriate?

Looking at Kevin who had regained consciousness, Yuan Yan didn't feel surprised at all.

In the original novel, there are two people holding the Demon Emperor Sword.

One of them was a young man who had only lived for twenty years. Although this young man was recognized by the Demon Emperor Sword, he went crazy after holding the sword because his Taoism was too shallow.

After the other man grasped the Demon King's Sword, there was not a trace of madness on his face.

Considering that Kevin's age is many times that of the big bat with green hair behind him, Yuan Yan felt that Kevin, who had experienced so many things, would definitely be able to do better than the other.

As for why the Demon King Sword was temporarily handed over to Kevin, the reason is actually very simple.

The reason why Kevin is so weak now is simply because he does not have enough Honkai energy in his body.

But even so, Kevin, who is now short of energy, can actually be considered an outstanding strong man.

In Yuan Yan's opinion, handing a weapon that he could retrieve at any time to the other party and letting him act as his thug was much less risky than [helping Kevin replenish his energy and letting him take action].

Besides, even if Kevin had the Demon Emperor Sword, since Kevin's body had been eroded by Yuan Yan, Yuan Yan felt that he would not be able to defeat him even with the Demon Emperor Sword.

Rather than being on guard against Kevin, Yuan Yan now feels that he has something more important to do.

"How's it going, Yuan...Leader."

Seeing that Yuan Yan seemed to have finished talking with this group of people, Siegfried walked up to Yuan Yan with a smile and spoke to him happily.

"Are you done discussing everything?"

"Well, let's call it a day for now. But now, Uncle Siegfried, please tell me what the current situation is."

Looking at the two men behind Yuan Yan, Theresa suddenly felt a sense of unease because of her intuition.

"Yuan Yan, what... do you want to do?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just thought that Heaven's Fate is a good organization."

...?

Looking at Theresa who was a little worried, Yuan Yan spoke to Theresa calmly.

"This organization is efficient, orderly, and has a mature system. Leave this organization to Otto..."

"—Heh, Ms. Theresa, don't you think that continuing to let your grandfather control this organization is a waste for the anti-Honkai forces in this world?"

"That's true, but—my intuition tells me that you're definitely planning to do something reckless!"

Looking at the expression on Yuan Yan's face, Theresa spoke to Yuan Yan a little nervously.

"What on earth are you planning to do? If a war breaks out now, Grandpa will definitely unleash all the heavy weaponry that Tianming has accumulated over the past fourteen years on the entire world!"

"Oh, yes, that's what I thought, so..."

After gently patting Theresa's shoulder, Yuan Yan looked at Theresa who was being invaded by him in an instant and said with a smile.

"——To solve this problem, I think I should go to Tianming first and erode all the weapon systems there."

"Now that you've lost the courage to overturn the table, I think Mr. Otto might be able to recognize the reality that the situation is not in your favor."

At this moment, Theresa, looking at Yuan Yan in front of her, felt more and more that something was wrong.

Perhaps there was nothing wrong with what he said. After all, Theresa knew very well that since her grandfather was not doing his job and was even watching over those who were doing their job, seizing control of Destiny was not a bad thing.

But now, Yuan Yan, you seem to me to be more dangerous than grandpa.

Why do I always feel...

——Are you the one who is ready to turn the table now?

Volume 1: Chapter 126. Fireworks

Destiny Headquarters

In Tianming's headquarters, a girl named Li Suchang was looking at everything around her boredly. After yawning lazily, she jumped down from her chair.

Since being awakened by her acquaintance Rakshasa a month ago and being told that this is the world five hundred years from now, Li Suchang has basically adapted to modern life in the past month.

According to the other party, she was seriously injured in a battle five hundred years ago. In order to prevent her from dying from the serious injuries, the Rakshasa brought her back to Tianming and saved her life with special means.
