Chapter 233

Golden light enveloped the six people.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and then the surrounding scenery completely changed.

Moon.

"The Destruction the world was not my intention, so I Vill-V to send us all here."

Bai Yan withdrew his hands, and the scarlet longsword disappeared.

But no one was listening to him anymore.

Bronya's eyes flickered, and she gave Raiden Mei a look.

The latter understood and immediately activated the power of the origin.

Kiana felt the call of resonance and responded to her companions without hesitation.

The three people opposite them saw all of this, and their gazes simultaneously sharpened.

Jingliu silent, a longsword of ice appearing in her hand, pointing it at the Herrscher of Origin; at the same time, she clenched her other hand tightly, and strange moonlight gathered, forming a moon-shaped phantom, which flew towards Bronya.

Fu Xuan gave a soft snort, and simultaneously extended two fingers with both hands, first pointing to his forehead and then to Jingliu.

With this movement, eye-shaped purple patterns appeared in front of Jingliu.

All the secrets of the world are revealed to it, and its opponents' actions are under its complete control; none can escape the gaze of this all-seeing eye.

The two who were hit by the first wave of attacks from the Jingliu felt that the incoming sword energy was difficult to resist.

Just as they were about to reunite with Kiana, Jingliu, as if he had known their thoughts beforehand, attacked with another sword aura, forcing them to stop.

The fierce battle between the two sides continues.

Bai Yan, wielding a scarlet longsword, engaged Kiana in battle. Noticing the situation not far away, he felt reassured.

At the same time, he also realized that the resonance he had just experienced was now completely directed at Kiana.

Kiana suddenly realized that she seemed to Finality.

Moreover, it continues to advance at an incredible speed.

She suddenly increased the force of her punch and threw it at Bai Yan.

As fists and swords clashed, strange fluctuations suddenly arose.

Almost simultaneously, the two sensed that some force was pulling them away.

Is it a cocoon?

The fight temporarily ceased, and the two stepped back a few paces, wary of each other while sensing the pulling force.

"Is the time ripe...?"

Bai Yan thought to himself.

Kiana refocused her gaze on Bai Yan.

"You felt it too?"

"Um."

"We've come this far. Although I'm not certain of victory, I know the outcome will be decided soon. Even so, you're going to remain silent?"

That's not something you can understand.

"Hmph, his tone is exactly the same as Kevin's in the Chrono-Sanctum, it's infuriating."

Kiana gave a soft snort, then said seriously, "When you trapped us before, we didn't notice anything amiss when we came out, but just now I discovered that you transferred the Power of Finality that once belonged to you. What does that mean?"

"It was merely a relinquishment of a portion of the power. In fact, I retained the most crucial elements to complete my plan."

"..."

Kiana couldn't figure out what he was holding back, so she simply stopped talking.

The pull grew stronger, and at that moment, he vaguely gained some kind of enlightenment.

Then, for no apparent reason, she made a gun gesture.

Bai Yan still held the sword with both hands.

Suddenly, a strange ball of energy shot out from Kiana's fingertip.

The crimson greatsword swung down just in time to catch the energy ball.

The energy cluster and the giant sword vanished simultaneously.

A moment of peace.

Then.

A terrifying aura erupted, Setsuna, the entire moon trembled.

Countless rocks collapsed, and the many facilities built by humans on them were now in a precarious state.

The tremors grew stronger, but the two once again gathered their strength.

Kiana leaped into the air, meeting her opponent's attack with her fists; Bai Yan, still in his greatsword form, countered head-on.

Another collision, and the giant sword vanished once more.

Kiana, on the other hand, was sent flying back to her original spot, staggering a few steps before regaining her balance.

The tremors on the moon grew more intense, and the four people fighting in the distance couldn't help but turn their gazes, wondering what was happening here.

But all they saw was the two of them launching a third, all-out attack simultaneously.

Kiana is also wielding a greatsword this time.

She leaped high into the air and swept her arm across Bai Yan with wide, sweeping motions.

Bai Yan raised his sword and blocked the attack.

There was no earth-shattering tremor as expected; instead, all that could be heard was a persistent buzzing sound.

The sound was somewhat jarring, but thankfully it didn't last long.

Because the two people who made the sound disappeared, and the sound stopped at the same time.

Kiana?!

Raiden Mei was shocked by what she saw.

Jingliu and Fu Xuan noticed this and showed thoughtful expressions.

What happened?

Bronya looked at Jingliu and asked.

"Perhaps it's heading towards a predetermined destination."

"Cocoon?"

"It should be."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei calmed down and said, "It's probably a phenomenon caused by our resonance just now... We noticed earlier that Kiana is getting closer and closer to the Finality."

What is your purpose in stopping us?

Bronya asked again.

"I don't know exactly what Xiaoyan's request is."

Then, Bronya turned her gaze to Fu Xuan.

"He's asking for a beating."

"?"

"Don't ask anymore. According to that kid, I have to keep it a secret. This is the limit I can go on saying."

"Your eye..."

"Clever."

Bronya remained silent.

Jingliu stared at the spot where the two had disappeared, lost in thought.

Bai Yan sheathed his giant sword and looked at the cocoon that occupied most of the sky.

"It seems to have fallen into some kind of slumber?"

Kiana also temporarily sheathed her weapon and asked from a distance.

Do you know what the power of the Finality is?

Bai Yan didn't answer but asked a question instead.

"What?"

"It is time. Every time it arrives, it resets civilization."

"Indeed, it's just like what it's done."

"This test is nearing its end. I think if it's just for a short period, I should be able to withstand it..."

Upon hearing this, Kiana suddenly became alert. "What do you mean?"

Bai Yan turned to look at her.

His gaze was more resolute than ever before.

"Did you know that the best way to understand a power is to engage in life-or-death battles with another person who possesses the exact same power?"

"Neither theoretical learning nor the quiet contemplation in the dead of night can compare to this seemingly cruel method."

"So, are you ready to fight me one last time for the future of civilization?"

"If I am to fail, I hope it will be to fall to your Finality, all-out attack."

280: Vill·V: Bnhubithtdbla.

Chapter 280 Vill-V: The younger generation is so easy to fool.

Small-scale wars are breaking out in various parts of the world.

With mechs as the main force and Valkyrie as the backbone, the overall battle situation was under control, but the combat power of the three major organizations was almost entirely bogged down in the quagmire.

The Phase World seems to be everywhere, Honkai Beast step into the real world from within it, posing a threat no different from that of the real Honkai.

This time, Theresa didn't stay behind; instead, she handed over command to Welt and personally took to the field.

When Theresa officially entered the arena, the Phase World immediately reacted.

In the area where Theresa is located, the strength and number of Honkai Beast have increased exponentially, with even Judgment-class Honkai Beast appearing and joining forces with a large number of lower-level Honkai Beast to attack.

"This... this is the first time Honkai Beast of this magnitude has appeared, right? Did Bai Yan prepare this all along to target me?!"

The Oath of Judah shone brightly, and countless weapons shot out, chasing after the enormous, fiery red bird and attacking it. Perhaps they could succeed once or twice.

However, the giant bird's wounds would heal completely in time, which gradually made Theresa feel troubled.

"Headmaster, I think Bai Yan probably just set up such a mechanism, and your appearance simply triggered it."

Himeko was traveling with him, said, carrying a giant sword.

Theresa nodded somewhat dejectedly upon hearing this.

The gap is indeed too large. Even if I were to activate Artificial Collapse, I wouldn't be able to cause any trouble in front of Bai Yan now.

But for some reason, although she felt furious whenever she thought of Bai Yan, she felt no hatred at all.

After much thought, the only conclusion I could draw was that Bai Yan hadn't yet caused any major disaster, which was why I didn't hate him.

"... However, it must be said that although the chaos he caused was enormous, so far no Valkyrie have been injured or killed."

"Perhaps he's reluctant to part with me. I heard from Ragna that the kid is quite popular at headquarters and gets along well with the Valkyrie."

"Hmph! A guy who's not even as good as Sigfried! As expected, as long as Schicksal has someone like this, things are bound to go wrong!"

Himeko chuckled secretly upon hearing this, then shook her head inwardly.

This statement carries a hint of personal grudge.
