Chapter 229
Why don't you use your ability to create fictional worlds? Don't you like it?
"I also want to ask, Ms. Kiana, if you want to become the strongest Valkyrie, why don't you use your favorite Kaslana Gun Kata anymore? Do you feel that it's not for you?"
Kiana's eyelids twitched immediately upon hearing this.
Boom boom boom!
The ultimate power was firmly confined within this space.
A terrifying storm was unleashed by their battle, the Destruction all laws and rendering all powers meaningless.
"Um?!"
Just then, the two seemed to sense something and looked at Raiden Mei's location.
There was a momentary freeze in that place.
But Bai Yan quickly looked away.
"She's not far behind Kevin at his peak now, and even the transformed young lady would find it difficult to gain the upper hand against her—should we go and support her?"
Kiana hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Although I really want to do that, I trust Mei! Besides, even if we need to provide support, we have to take care of you first!"
After she finished speaking, her attacks became even more ferocious.
Chapter 277 gives you a reason to defeat me.
The battle continues.
Most of the intense clashes of force came from Bai Yan and Kiana.
The two were like martial artists who had gone wild, each move more ferocious than the last, each strike more cunning than the last.
By this point, Bai Yan had almost figured out Kiana's condition.
"They have gained the approval of the Finality, but are still vying for the final qualification."
"Unfortunately, she's still not as good as me, and the power flowing towards her isn't even as fast as it is for me..."
"Are you hesitating, Kiana?"
Bai Yan's mind raced, and he didn't even use 70% of his power to deal with Kiana.
He glanced at the others out of the corner of his eye.
Jingliu and Durandal's match turned into a tutorial battle; if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't the time for a friendly spar, it would be hard to tell which side had a better experience.
Bronya didn't move, only keeping a watchful eye on Fu Xuan to the side.
Having had all her moves figured out, she was unwilling to fight to the death against an opponent she knew nothing about.
After all, Bronya is now better suited to fight alongside her allies.
Did I put too much pressure on them?
The Hyperdimensional Space serves as a conduit, bringing people from outside the world into its own, where their strength is capped at their own level.
Now, having acquired a considerable amount of the power of the Finality, therefore...
That's definitely a bit difficult.
Bai Yan suddenly withdrew his sword energy, clenched his other hand into a fist, and delivered a powerful punch to Kiana, who was attacking again.
The powerful hammer blow forced Kiana to take a step back.
She only took a step back not because she could withstand it, but because Bai Yan's power had been precisely released, making it impossible for her opponent to deflect the force by retreating or swaying.
Kiana felt a tremendous shock in her internal organs and an extremely painful sensation in her chest, yet she still gritted her teeth and continued fighting.
Bai Yan then spoke up, "It seems you've reached your limit. No one can stop my plan now."
Kiana paused, then silently stopped what she was doing.
Bai Yan raised his head and said loudly, "It seems that your will is not matched by your strength."
"From this moment forward, I will establish a teleportation point on this planet. Anyone who enters will receive protection and will be able to escape this place completely once the migration is complete."
"But I know one thing deeply: persuasion is useless, so I will launch indiscriminate attacks on all human settlements around the world to force them to believe."
"You can mobilize the full power of the three major Honkai organizations to defend against it, and guide humanity into the teleportation zone, where they can be spared from the calamity."
"Of course, you can choose not to evacuate, but I will inform the world about this. Imagine what a terrified crowd would become without absolute military force to suppress them."
Bai Yan's voice resounded throughout the venue, and everyone clearly heard it.
Cold-blooded methods, cruel rules.
Everyone must choose between believing or waiting for the Destruction.
It is far more bloody than the Stigmata Project.
Because its launch will most likely come at the cost of countless deaths in the first wave...
Durandal looked up at Bai Yan in disbelief, never expecting such words to come from his mouth.
"Bai Yan, are you crazy?! How is what you're doing any different from Otto's?!"
Raiden Mei was panting heavily. After hearing Bai Yan's declaration, her heart sank uncontrollably.
Sakura remained calm on the other side; the battle just now hadn't put much pressure on her.
Similar opponents, but with advantages in every aspect.
Compared to asymmetrical confrontation, the disadvantages of this kind of confrontation are more easily magnified.
Absolutely unbeatable!
However, the faces of the people who came with Bai Yan remained unchanged, as if nothing he said could stir any emotion within them.
"What a disgusting trick!"
Raiden Mei cursed under her breath.
Bronya was also very upset, and when she noticed that Kiana's face had become even more bewildered, she immediately spoke up to remind her.
"Bai Yan's aim is to send people into the fictional world he creates."
"And the most effective way is undoubtedly to drive people to act out of fear."
"If we stop people from relocating, we'll be universally despised; because the vast majority of people won't hold a grudge against Bai Yan. Furthermore, this act of obstruction will, in turn, motivate everyone to act more actively, because that's human nature."
"But if we confront Bai Yan's attack, we can fill the gaps in his plan—minimizing casualties."
"No matter what I do, I'm helping him."
Kiana and Durandal were both stunned, then a nameless rage surged within them.
Not only did they pull off such a shoddy job, but they also tried to use this tactic to take advantage of us!
Durandal immediately leaped up, intending to give Bai Yan a good beating, but was stopped by Jingliu at just the right moment.
Kiana took a deep breath.
She stared at Bai Yan: "I never expected that you would be Otto's best disciple."
"Thank you for the compliment—although Otto isn't a good person, he is indeed a very worthy role model."
"If you can separate his tools from his purpose, you will definitely gain some insight."
"I may kill and set fires, but I can prevent everyone from dying at the Finality the world."
"I will make a false accusation, which will also bring you righteous people to help me fill in the missing link in my plan."
"You see, in terms of the outcome, this is a win-win situation."
Bai Yan smiled and spoke at length with great earnestness.
But Kiana remained unmoved.
She had calmed down by now and was thinking about how to break the deadlock.
"I can't let that guy sway my emotions; I need to think this through carefully..."
"Our goal now is to completely transcend the Finality, to bring all tragedy to a close in this era, and to ensure that no one is the Destruction."
"But right now, Bai Yan wants to launch an indiscriminate attack on the entire world to achieve his own goals."
"What do I do?"
A moment later, Kiana quickly shook her head.
You shouldn't even be thinking about what to do.
Why not just defeat that guy?
If he can gain the cocoon's approval, then I, Kiana, can definitely do it too!
Kiana stopped thinking about it and leaped into the air to start the battle again.
"I was so stupid to listen to all that nonsense you spouted. I should have just given you a good beating!"
The wings of light unfolded once more, unleashing their ultimate power.
From her perspective, Bai Yan's strength at this moment was abnormally high.
His power always seemed somewhat chaotic.
Subconsciously, Kiana believed that continuing to fight so aggressively might lead to a strange change.
However, despite the continued all-out attack, Bai Yan showed no sign of wavering.
Kiana had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere.
Bronya and Raiden Mei were both keeping a close eye on the situation. They could see the pressure Kiana under, and they also noticed something was off about Bai Yan.
Raiden Mei glanced subtly at Bronya first, giving her a meaningful look.
The latter quickly understood and his mind raced.
How can I avoid Fu Xuan's eyes?
On the main battlefield, Kiana faced immense pressure head-on, exhausting all her resources in an effort to suppress Bai Yan to the extreme.
But all these efforts seemed to be in vain, as Bai Yan remained completely at ease.
"You still won't give up?"
"Hmph, don't even think about it!"
Upon seeing this, Bai Yan opened his arms, and a terrifying scarlet "ball of energy" suddenly appeared.
It appears to be a creative force, but the moment it appears, it distorts certain things that already exist.
The entire snowfield inexplicably began to change, with faint red light gradually spreading.
"I gained power from learning swordsmanship, so no matter how strong I become, I will never stray from the realm of the sword."
"Even defense and control must begin with the sword."
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to wield the world as a sword?
"A sharp sword attacks the real body, while an illusionary sword can attack the five senses."
"Then... what about the Sword of Remembrance, the Sword of Rules, or even the Sword of the World?"
"Why not give it a try?"
Before Bai Yan could finish speaking, the distortion of the snowfield intensified further.
Rules form the sword's blade, space its hilt, and something that cannot be looked at inexplicably pierces into this place.
Power of Finality came into Bai Yan's hands, it took on a completely different form.
In that Setsuna, Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya simultaneously felt their own powers being inexplicably divided.
They are essentially apostles of the cocoon, and their main power comes from it.
Taking advantage of this characteristic, Bai Yan fused almost all of his power, which originated from the cocoon, into this sword, completely piercing through the entire world.
This completely neutralizes the power the three obtained from the cocoon.
At least in this world, they will all be just ordinary Valkyrie.
Bai Yan landed and felt a void within his body, caused by a large portion of his power being suddenly drained.
Now, all he has left is power from the Hyperdimensional Space.
Seeing their armor being forcibly removed, the three were instantly plunged into shock and bewilderment.
