Lin Yu: ? (Continued)

As for Welt, although he appeared to be stiffly pinned down by Kevin, this was actually Welt act.

Welt, who had been compressing Honkai Energy, decisively dropped his disguise after realizing that the enemy didn't take them seriously, and started his Herrscher Core running wildly.

At that moment, Welt even sensed something that terrified him.

Although Welt is Herrscher, he stands on the side of humanity. Due to the Honkai Welt his own lack of talent, his control over the core does not exceed 50%.

Even though the potion Sue gave him brought his body to its best condition, the old Welt still couldn't surpass his own limits.

However, today, Welt made a horrifying discovery...

—His core control rate is actually increasing at an astonishing rate?!

55%...65%...75%...85%...95%...100%!

In just a second or two, Welt actually broke through the limit he thought he could never break through in his entire life.

As the Herrscher of Reason, at the moment when his core operating rate reached its peak, he finally understood why this result had occurred.

Is the Honkai being wary of Kevin?

Because Kevin is someone the Honkai fears, it's quite rare that I, as Kevin's enemy, have received support from the Honkai at this moment!

It's really ironic.

But now...

—We don't have time to worry about that anymore!

At that moment, the Star of Eden in Welt's hand floated into the air.

After the Honkai Energy erosion patterns appeared on his left and right hands, two Divine Key appeared.

"Siegfried, Mr. Sue!"

After tossing the simulated Flame-Chaser's Judgment and the simulated Black Abyss White Flower to his companions, Welt immediately and without hesitation activated the zero-quota power of Star of Eden.

"Very good, Welt!"

After seizing the Flame-Chaser's Judgment, Siegfried even saw a second Herrscher Core on it.

As the most destructive Divine Key, the Flame-Chaser's Judgment can unleash its true form and attack in the [Jie Mie] mode after connecting to the second Herrscher Core.

Siegfried could sense that this Flame-Chaser's Judgment was far inferior to the ordinary Flame-Chaser's Judgment.

The gap is not in terms of strength, but in terms of stability.

The fact that Welt could conjure two Divine Key at the same time in such a hurry was too much of a burden for him.

Moreover, the Flame-Chaser's Judgment he manifested also contained the 'fake Herrscher Core's that he created.

In this situation, Siegfried's pseudo- Flame-Chaser's Judgment... no, perhaps even Sue's pseudo- Black Abyss White Flower only has the power of a single strike.

However, if they cannot defeat such a formidable enemy in one strike, they should not even consider the future.

Sensing the fighting spirit emanating from the three, Kevin actually closed his eyes slightly, a hint of... on his face.

I am pleased.

Yes, after realizing that the three had the courage to fight him to the death, Kevin felt no dissatisfaction or annoyance.

Although he was the executor of the Stigmata Plan, that did not mean he liked the Stigmata Plan.

In Kevin's heart, he had always hoped that someone could surpass the Stigmata Plan and tell him that humanity in this era did not need to use such a terrible plan to defeat the Honkai.

Although the three people in front of him had not yet come up with a way to convince Kevin, their fighting spirit to resist the Stigmata Plan was enough to give Kevin some comfort.

But Sue, and two others from this era...

"If you cannot overcome me, even if you are determined, you will not be able to defeat the Herrscher of Finality."

At that moment, Kevin raised the Jie Mie in his hand and opened his eyes.

As Kevin opened his eyes, a Honkai Beast shell large enough to cover half of his face appeared directly on his face.

Having been sealed in the Quantum Sea for too long, even though I just obtained the core of the Herrscher of Flames, I am still unable to regain my full power.

But faced with the onslaught of these three...

—The initial power is enough!

At this moment, as the Honkai Energy from the four individuals surged to its limit, the space surrounding Haiyuan City became noticeably more unstable.

The next instant, as the four attacks collided in this space, Gray Serpent felt his vision being completely taken away by the light.

Of course, the light will eventually fade.

After the light faded, the Gray Serpent saw the battlefield after the battle.

On the ground, Siegfried, Sue, Welt all collapsed at the same time.

Kevin, who had launched an attack on the three, exhaled a breath of stale air and deactivated his semi- Honkai Beast form.

"Kevin ..."

At this moment, Su looked at the simulated Black Abyss White Flower shattering before her and said very weakly to Kevin.

"Etc..."

"I'm sorry, my dear friend."

After walking over to Sue's side, Kevin looked at Sue lying on the ground and said very calmly.

"Performing the Stigmata Plan 1,500 years ago may indeed have been too early for humanity."

"But now, having observed other worlds for so long, you should know better than I do..."

"—This era, too, has run out of time."

After saying this, Kevin picked up Siegfried and, without giving him a chance to speak, punched him in the stomach, knocking the seriously injured soldier unconscious on the spot.

"Gray Serpent, let's go."

"When you get back to base, tell me exactly what happened during this time."

"I will obey your command."

After saying this, Gray Serpent walked to Kevin's side and activated the Quantum Teleportation System, allowing him and Kevin to leave Haiyuan City.

"That's too powerful..."

At this moment, Welt looked at the three broken Divine Key, and after barely supporting himself to stand up, he said with lingering fear.

"Even Sirin, who had five Herrscher Core back then, was far inferior to Kevin."

"Yes..."

Enduring the pain, Su said to Welt with great helplessness.

"That's just how powerful he is."

"The worst has happened, now what's next..."

"Mr. Welt, please contact Theresa, the acting bishop at the Schicksal Headquarters, in your capacity as the Anti-Entropy Leader, and sign a ceasefire agreement with her."

"After all, if we don't work together to stop Kevin, the world will sooner or later become a place of devastation."

"I trust Ms. Theresa's character, but..."

Thinking of that damned man, Welt asked with a hint of doubt.

"Otto has sided with World Serpent this time."

"Ah, once Mr. Otto returns to Schicksal Headquarters, many things will become unpredictable, so..."

"My personal suggestion is that Mr. Welt should create the Jizo Mitama before transmitting the image."

"... I see."

After instantly understanding Sue's meaning, Welt nodded slightly.

"I see."

"As for Mr. Siegfried... Kevin must have his own reasons for taking him away."

"He shouldn't be able to harm Mr. Siegfried for the time being. Now, let's think about what we should do next."

Meanwhile, inside a certain transport plane of the Schicksal

After a certain amount of fighting, Lin Yu, who was about to close his eyes and rest inside the transport plane, suddenly heard a voice.

[Ding! The system has detected that the host meets the requirements for claiming the reward, and the reward has been sent to your system mailbox.]

Oh, it's a sound that I kind of miss, but also one I don't want to hear.

I've been listening for a long time... well, it doesn't seem like it's been that long.

The last time I heard the reward notification was when Lin Yu broke the Heavenly Father.

Less than a month has passed!

Well, how should I put it? Anyway, I suggest you smoke now. If you don't, things might get complicated.

Wow, what you're saying sounds like a deathbed meal, it's really unsettling.

[You seem pretty indifferent. When have you ever felt at ease?]

That makes sense.

After opening his email, Lin Yu saw a lottery ticket.

It's just this raffle ticket...

[Ding! The reward you have received is (Special Item - Advanced Skill Book Lottery Ticket).]

Ah, Advanced Skill Book Lottery Ticket, it gives me a kind of awkward feeling.

Stop being so indecisive. Think about what you should do next before making any decisions.

"Hmm, what's going on?"

Mike, sitting in the driver's seat, looked at the messages he received on the instruments and suddenly muttered to himself.

"What the heck? Why is headquarters issuing an emergency communication at this time?"

"Only three days have passed since the Fourth Honkai Outbreak, it shouldn't be..."

"Holy crap?!"

Hearing Mike's words, Lin Yu suddenly felt terrible.

"Mike, what's going on?"

"... Lin Yu, I suspect I saw it wrong."

At this moment, Mike, with a trembling voice, smiled awkwardly at Lin Yu and said...

"Haha, headquarters actually said that Honkai large-scale Honkai Energy exceeding 1000 HW has just erupted."

"Only three days have passed since the Fourth Honkai Outbreak, Fifth Honkai Outbreak has already begun?"

"It must be a problem with the equipment at headquarters, right?"

Actually, I also hope it's a malfunction.

But now...

Damn, the rewards are here, there's no way this could be a glitch!

[Ah, let me clarify, this reward isn't from the Herrscher's attack.]

[You're currently wearing the Blank Key and surrounded by the Seven Thunders of Retribution. An ordinary Herrscher can't threaten you; that's because you choose not to fight.]

What is that?

Isn't this the reward for the Herrscher's attack?

So, this reward...

—What exactly triggered this message to be sent here?
