You Have a New Job (Continued)
The mission left behind 50,000 years ago is Kevin's everything. It is both the meaning of his remaining life and an airtight cage, which, though intangible, completely binds this strongest man of all time from the inside out.
Therefore, Kevin had no other thoughts; he only knew to move forward with the Stigmata Project.
Skyfire looked at Kevin quietly for a while, then changed the subject:
"What do you think of Durandal, which I mentioned earlier?"
"Good."
"I think so too. She has great potential, and I can feel her obvious progress every time I meet her. If she had enough time... well, the Finality never gives us 'ifs.' In any case, let's just wait for her final answer."
"Um."
Kevin nodded calmly.
Yulandai is a bug, unfortunately, it's limited to the original script.
Kevin has now experienced the combined Ninti of Chiyou and the Herrscher of Reason, witnessed Anqi's sword energy honed through countless trials, and knows about high-end combatants such as Delta and Ji Lin. Today, he has even witnessed the dangerous power of Yae Sakura. Compared to all of these, the former strongest of Schicksal is nothing more than an ordinary person, nothing special.
"Skyfire, how do you feel about Yae Sakura's power?"
"Its strength isn't anything special, but it's too strange. I sensed the characteristics of the Herrscher of Death. Perhaps, Schicksal placed the Gem of Serenity on her, which is the Herrscher Core of Death."
"It's not surprising. From Delta to Kiana and Raiden Mei, Artificial Herrscher seem to be a unique product of this era?"
"That's not surprising. But this power seems to be reacting strangely with the Key of Erosion. I can sense that if it's actually cut, this puppet body will probably be unable to resist that kind of invasion. Although you are better than me, I suggest you don't try it, it's too dangerous."
Skyfire sincerely suggested.
After all, no one knows better Anqi herself what Yae Sakura is capable of.
This was meant to reassure Mr. Otto, and naturally, it was the best Anqi could offer. To be honest, anyone who gets slashed would be in serious trouble, Kevin was probably no exception.
"This era has truly not disappointed."
Kevin couldn't help but think of the surprise Ninti had given him, and his expression softened unconsciously.
I wonder how that child is doing now, whether he's eating and sleeping well?
In any case, the current situation, with many strong individuals emerging, is definitely more satisfying for Kevin than the previous chaotic situation where there were only a handful of big shots and a few small ones.
Skyfire Path:
"Then let's go back. Gray Serpent and Jackal seem to have some things to report to you."
"...good."
The slight fluctuation in the eyes of the "Corporate Slave Venerable Lord" completely faded and subsided at this moment.
As for Yae Sakura, Kevin didn't bring it up again, and Skyfire also fell silent.
Ultimately, Yae Sakura is not a cherry blossom.
The statement that Current Civilization is a continuation of the Previous Civilization is not a philosophical one, but a fact. From the very beginnings of Current Civilization, the forerunners of the Previous Civilization took on the roles of guardians and guides in various regions, even disseminating the powerful genes of the Previous Civilization preserved through technological means, hoping to provide a better foundation for Current Civilization in the event of its Honkai.
The Three Great Families Schicksal, with their long history and noble lineage, are one of the results of this gene dissemination project.
Therefore, it is not surprising to Flame-Chasers that some individuals similar to his past comrades appeared in this era.
But no matter how similar they are, they are ultimately not a re-enactment of comrades-in-arms.
Kevin had seen it, and that was it; he wouldn't pay too much attention to such a being.
Besides, the sight of Yae Sakura holding the Jizo Mitama made Kevin believe that Rin had found peace. That was enough. For a child born in the final days of Previous Civilization, this ending was already far luckier than many others. What more could Kevin ask for?
Achoo!
On the luxurious plane back at the Schicksal Headquarters, the donkey-eared witch suddenly sneezed cutely, like a little rabbit jumping and squeaking in fright.
Otto stroked the "beacon" in his hand, turned his head, and said with concern:
"Cherry?"
"Mr. Otto, I'm fine. Maybe, um, I caught a chill?"
Yae Sakura tilted her head, her ears twitching restlessly, clearly not believing the reason herself.
Otto smiled.
"Your body is filled with Honkai Energy, Erosion Authority, and death power. How could someone with such a constitution possibly catch a cold? What kind of supervirus could have such power? Could it be the Herrscher of Finality from a cellular civilization?"
"...Mr Otto, I'm a girl too, it's very impolite of you to say that."
The main boss of "Kallen Chronicles" is harmlessly angry with his cheeks puffed out, and from top to bottom, he is so cute and endearing that even the most beautiful words cannot describe him.
In Otto's eyes, compared to the carefree and detached Yae Sakura he first met, the current Yae Sakura seems to have come back to life from five hundred years ago and truly arrived in this era.
' Kallen, at least this time, I didn't let you down, right?'
Otto's gaze was exceptionally gentle as he looked into Yae Sakura's bright and clear eyes, as if he were looking at a unique and precious treasure.
"Mr. Otto?"
"Live well in this era and die a natural death, Sakura."
"Uh, I'll try my best. Why did you suddenly bring this up, Mr. Otto?"
"It's nothing, just something that came to mind. Hold this 'beacon' for me, I need to rest. Listen to me, this is much more precious and unique than the Gem of Serenity, so please take good care of it~~"
Otto said with a smile.
Just as he had expected, after saying those words, Yae Sakura no longer had any mind to think about the teasing she had just made. She sat up straight immediately, her expression tense, her hands carefully protecting the device, and even her long beast ears suddenly stood up completely.
It's like holding a nuclear weapon that could explode at the slightest vibration.
Seeing the domesticated fox make the adorable reaction he wanted, Otto felt a surge of joy. He then leaned back in his luxurious chair, gazing at the drifting clouds outside the window, his eyes gradually deepening.
'You fulfill the will of the departed without hesitation; your path may be lonely, but ahead awaits those who yearn for you, smiling and ready to help you. How... how enviable!'
Otto sighed silently.
Perhaps all that remains of his life is Kallen's tears and disapproval?
But it didn't matter; Otto Apolcalypse had no other choice but to walk this path of atonement, a path rife with sin.
In a chance encounter during a turbulent era, two men, weathered by life's storms, instantly saw through each other's true nature and uttered the same sentiments.
After that, they will continue to move forward toward their established mission and convictions, never looking back, nor being able to look back.
