Lin, King of the Sea, Withers

When the Jie Mie Key touched Lin Yu's body, Kevin was extremely embarrassed to find that the indestructible Key of Destruction could no longer penetrate Lin Yu's body even a little bit.

At the same time, it was as if he was forcibly pulled halfway by a force, and he crashed into Lin Yu's body.

This time, Lin Yu released the Grand Cross without incorporating other forces due to the haste.

However, the fact that the Grand Cross, which possesses the attribute of "Holy," is unleashed using the Demon King Mana with the attribute of "Demonic" is itself an extremely bizarre thing.

In Kevin's eyes, the large energy cross that appeared behind Lin Yu, which originally exuded a sense of holiness, gradually became stained with a blood-like color, giving him an extremely eerie feeling.

But Kevin doesn't have time to care about such trivial matters now.

He doesn't understand.

Why is it that the seemingly indestructible Jie Mie couldn't penetrate Lin Yu's skin at all after it came into contact with him?

After missing his only chance to attack, Kevin was just like Wendy who had encountered Lin Yu a few hours earlier. He was knocked away by the Grand Cross and then pulled back to Lin Yu's side by the Grand Cross, repeating the process of being knocked away → pulled back → knocked away again.

The damage the Grand Cross inflicted on Kevin wasn't very severe.

But having come this far, Kevin, who had been repeatedly outmaneuvered and attacked by Lin Yu through various means, had to admit...

He is now extremely weak.

Precise calculation ability, endless tricks, powerful control, and—the power of the Herrscher of Constraint.

This is truly a stroke of luck.

This treasure... its offensive capabilities are just too overwhelming.

Objectively speaking, Kevin's performance in this fight was less than three-tenths of what he had shown.

Even compared to the Asura Kevin, Kevin can currently exert an even lower proportion of his power.

But a fight is a fight, and the opponent won't show Kevin any mercy because of these reasons.

At that moment, after catching the Seven Thunders of Retribution falling from the sky, Lin Yu poured all the remaining Honkai Energy in his body into the Seven Thunders of Retribution.

Even now, Lin Yu still doesn't know how to use the zero-quota power of the Seven Thunders of Retribution.

However, considering that Raven can use the Seven Thunders of Retribution in its gun form to cripple Otto's body with a single shot, then...

—Perhaps if I pour enough Honkai Energy into it, I can launch a powerful enough attack.

This time, facing the enemy before him, Kevin once again unleashed his full power, unleashing the Jie Mie Sword at the foe.

Faced with this terrifying attack, Lin Yu did not dodge. Instead, he gripped his katana and unleashed a horizontal slash at Kevin.

The next moment, the Constraint Barrier vanished from everyone's sight less than two minutes after it descended.

Su, who had just been discussing how to break the barrier to stop the battle, witnessed a scene he never wanted to see and never imagined.

Finally, Lin Yu, who was exchanging powerful attacks with Kevin, was directly slashed away by Kevin's Jie Mie.

Kevin, whom Su believed might not necessarily lose, had his energy significantly weakened by Lin Yu, and suffered irreparable damage that couldn't be repaired in a short time...

—The Seven Thunders of Retribution, imbued with the energy of the Herrscher of Constraint, by Lin Yu, severed his upper and lower body in one fell swoop.

Let's do a settlement first. Last month, I updated 192,000 words. There were 31 days in the month, and I wrote 4,000 words every day. 31 * 4 = 124,000 words. In the end, I paid off 192,000 - 124,000 = 68,000 words.

I didn't make it into the top ten last month, so the other additional reward conditions weren't met. In the end, it was 2620 monthly votes, with each monthly vote containing ten characters equaling 26200.

Last month, I initially owed 150,300, repaid 68,000, and incurred 26,200 in new debt. Let me see the final result...

Oh, I still owe 108,500.

I was hoping to have a good New Year this month, but...

I'm still a tiny bit unconvinced.

I think I'll try again at the beginning of the month. Please vote for me!

If a user ranks 7th to 10th on the monthly ticket rankings at the end of this month [2024/2/29 23:59], an extra 10,000 words will be added.

If a character ranks 4th to 6th on the monthly ticket list, an additional 10,000 words will be added to the original chapter.

If the novel is ranked in the top three on the monthly ticket list, an additional 20,000 words will be added on top of the original chapter.

To show my sincerity, let me take a look...

I'll update 100,000 words before Lunar New Year's Eve on the 9th.

I'm off to write now.

Chapter 240. Sea King, Fading Away

Seeing Kevin severed in two by Lin Yu, the girls who knew Lin Yu well, and Su, Kevin's best friend...

No, even Welt, who had only met Kevin once, found the scene utterly unbelievable.

Durandal, Yuno, Mei, and Welt are all people who have directly fought Kevin.

Anyone who has fought this man knows exactly how powerful he is.

Moreover, during the fight, those who had fought Kevin could vaguely sense that Kevin was not using his full strength against them.

Considering this, the strength Lin Yu is currently displaying is terrifyingly impressive.

As for Su, who had the most information on the scene, she looked at Kevin's body, which was broken in two, and felt nothing but disbelief.

Moreover, Kevin's reaction made Sue feel even more...

He was genuinely terrified this time.

As Kevin's two body parts flew backward, Kevin manipulated Honkai Energy, turning it into energy ropes to forcibly bind the two body parts together.

At the same time, Durandal looked at Lin Yu, who had been sent flying and landed on the ground, glanced at Raiden Mei in her arms, gently placed the girl on the ground, and then rushed out in a flash.

Kevin's condition is actually quite irrelevant to Durandal.

For a young girl, the most important thing is indeed...

—This guy, he's going all out again!

Yuno and Mei wanted to rush to Lin Yu's side, but at that moment, they both felt their Herrscher Core near their hearts suddenly start spinning incredibly fast.

If the feeling the core rotation had given them just now was that 'the Honkai was supporting them,' then now that the core was rotating, they instantly felt that the Herrscher Core was forcibly eroding their bodies.

[Mei, something's wrong.]

At this moment, the Herrscher of Thunder inside Mei spoke to Mei in a slightly flustered tone, which was quite rare for him.

This core is now slipping out of our control!

What?! Even you?!

Mei looked at Yuno beside her in shock, and saw an expression on Yuno's face that she absolutely did not want to see.

At this moment, Yuno looked at her companion with the same expression as Mei.

"Yuno, could it be that you too?!"

"Mei, my core is trying to break free from my control..."

At this moment, the two, who had been drained of their power and injured in the battle, could only forcefully stabilize their minds to prevent the Herrscher Core from slipping out of their control.

However, not everyone present cared about Lin Yu.

As an outsider in a sense, Welt was actually calmly analyzing everything after the Constraint Barrier appeared.

Two minutes earlier, while the girls were watching him and Su warily, he didn't say much, but was discussing with Su whether the Moonlight Throne could forcibly break the Constraint Barrier.

Of course, the fact that the two didn't resort to violence in the end is enough to demonstrate the outcome of this discussion.

Now that the battle has been decided, Welt, who doesn't care about Lin Yu, certainly won't just stand here and watch the show.

He had not forgotten his purpose in coming here: to stop the warrior Kevin's actions.

So when Kevin was cut in two and began to forcibly bind his body with Honkai Energy ropes, Welt acted immediately.

He didn't intend to kill Kevin.

After all, this man had chosen not to kill Welt when he had the chance.

Therefore, in Welt's eyes, this man was someone he could talk to.

Even if Welt was certain that neither side was an irreconcilable enemy, he would not relax his guard in the slightest at this moment.

Even in this miserable state, the Kevin in Kevin 'Welt mind was still the top-tier powerhouse who could defeat Sue, Welt, and Siegfried with a single sword strike.

Zero-rated power takes time, so at this moment, Welt could only release a thousand times the force of gravity, trying to force Kevin's body down.

But at that very moment, Kevin's body suddenly began to exhibit some phenomena that Welt was very familiar with.

With the activation of the Quantum Teleportation System, Kevin successfully transferred his body to the World Serpent's main base.

Gray Serpent, who was waiting for Kevin to contact his administrator, saw the two pieces of Kevin lying on the ground and immediately panicked.

"Your Venerable Lord... you?!"

He wanted to ask, "Who hurt you like this?", but as Kevin's most loyal subordinate, Administrator Gray Serpent certainly wouldn't rub salt in the wound at this moment.

Moreover, without even asking, the administrator, Gray Serpent, already knew the answer.

There are only a handful of truly powerful people in this world, and Hua, Su, Otto, Welt, and Durandal are no match for the Venerable Lord.

Lin Yu's past strength was certainly no match for the Venerable Lord, but...

But this guy is weird!

There was absolutely no basis for this, but the administrator, Gray Serpent, just felt that Kevin's injuries were definitely caused by Lin Yu.

Seeing the silent Gray Serpent, Kevin, who had finally pieced the two pieces of his body together, immediately activated the super- Hyper-Evolution Factor within his body, attempting to heal his injuries with it.

Unfortunately, the various mixed energies that Lin Yu had used to restrain the Light Kill Cannon into Kevin's body were still running rampant inside Kevin's body.

Kevin used Honkai Energy to form ropes and attempted to piece his body back together in such an ugly and comical manner for this very reason.

The power of the Herrscher of Constraint is truly terrifying.

Lin Yu, who possesses this power and can directly convert it into energy and inject it into Kevin's body, is even more terrifying.

The Herrscher of Constraint' power, which should have been transformed into a barrier, was actually split by Lin Yu into an external barrier to suppress Kevin and energy to attack Kevin in this battle.

Under this double pressure, Kevin felt that if Lin Yu hadn't used a little less force when he delivered the final blow, he might not have even been able to escape.

However, it was precisely because Kevin felt his current state was so ugly and ridiculous that he...

—I couldn't help but cover my face and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! That's awesome!"

"Everything I've been waiting for has finally happened."

Hearing Kevin's unsettling laughter, the administrator, Gray Serpent, became even more nervous.

My Venerable Lord, have you finally been driven mad by the pressure of this crushing defeat?

"My Venerable Lord! I don't know what happened, but you were just tired, which is why you were targeted by such a villain!"

After kneeling on one knee, the administrator Gray Serpent, spoke to Kevin with utmost respect.

"Your subordinate will expedite the energy gathering process so that Your Venerable Lord can regain the power you rightfully possess!"

"... Okay, I'll leave this to you."

After saying that, Kevin added to the Gray Serpent.

"The preparations for Stigmata Plan cannot be stopped, but we can only prepare to launch the plan."

"The Stigmata Plan must not be launched without my order, understand?"

"Yes!"

Even though there was nothing wrong with Kevin's commands, the administrator Gray Serpent always felt that there was something off about them.

It's like— Venerable Lord Kevin doesn't really want the Stigmata Plan to succeed.

After watching Gray Serpent walk away, Kevin lay down on the sofa in the base and looked at the metal ceiling of the World Serpent base.
