Miss Kiana's Grand Victory! / Go Ahead and Get a Headache, Gu Yi

Kevin frowned, finally reaching a conclusion he had long held in his mind.

"You're smarter than I expected, perhaps too smart, which is why I've been hesitant about whether to place all my hopes on you..."

[World Serpent] was amazed and revealed everything.

"I used the [Great Clock] to erase my own existence and the [Snake's] existence, so that you can become the new Kevin Kaslana..."

"Integration takes time, so [Apocalypse] guides you to continuously complete tasks, which is actually to deepen your connection with this world..."

"You've done a good job; you've indeed brought about many changes, and the threads of fate have become even more intricate and confusing..."

"Because you can never forget the past, you keep adding new hidden dangers to this world..."

"The reason I chose to deceive you is because I hope you won't betray my choice and will live for this purpose in my place!"

Kevin narrowed his eyes and sneered at this.

"Don't be ridiculous. Physical demise doesn't equate to the destruction of one's Divine Will. You're still in Abyssal City, watching your puppet, seeing if it can shoulder the great responsibility..."

"If I cannot do it, as our mental alignment strengthens, you can invade my mind at any time, replace me, and change my choices!"

Ultimately, we are the same kind of people, forever harboring suspicion and wariness, whether towards others or ourselves...

[World Serpent] fell silent. Yes, he was not kind; in fact, he was extremely selfish.

To change his fate and see Mei again, he was willing to erase his own existence, personally destroy his already formed empire, and indirectly "kill" three loyal subordinates from history: [Raven], [Gray Serpent], and [Jackal]. How could he possibly trust that this chosen alternate-dimensional counterpart wouldn't err?

Kevin went straight to the point.

"You gave me an identity, you gave me a mission, but you never gave me a reason to do it..."

"If I'm not mistaken, Sirin is about to become the Final Herrscher, and judgment is about to descend..."

"So, one last question: have you decided that you and I should completely say goodbye to the past and achieve spiritual integration?"

[World Serpent] paused for a moment, then smiled calmly.

"Her name is... Raiden Mei, right?"

P. S.: The mystery is solved. I didn't want to write [World Serpent] in such a simple way, so I went a bit roundabout.

This guy is no good. He's been secretly plotting in the Quantum Sea for 50,000 years. He must be a bit cunning.

Chapter 383, Section 401: Miss Kiana's Great Victory!

At ME's secret base, Raiden Ryoma faced the open airplane door, hesitated for a moment, and slowly bowed to show his submission.

Jackal, Raven, and Cocolia, his three trusted henchmen, filed out, surrounding their leader, Gray Serpent.

"Lord Alliance Leader, weren't you on a mission in the Pacific Ocean? May I ask what brings you here today?"

Kevin emerged from the crowd, nodded slightly, maintaining a distant yet respectful attitude towards Raiden Ryoma. Clearly, the other party shared the same sentiment, given that he was merely a temporary worker.

"It's a personal matter. I was just passing by and wanted to visit you. Do you have any objections?"

Raiden Ryoma was stunned and remained silent for a long time, completely baffled, so he could only let it be.

"You're most welcome! I'll send someone to prepare right away..."

Kevin picked up Kiana, who had come around from behind, and waved her casually.

"No need, I'll just take a look and leave. This is just a rest stop during my layover..."

When Raiden Ryoma saw Kiana in Kevin's arms, his wariness vanished instantly. He summoned several discreet private cars and led the three of them out of ME Company's secret base.

After a long absence, Tokyo Earth Realm become even more prosperous. On the two LED screens on the left, a dashing swordsman in black leads his comrades to conquer the 100-floor floating Aincrad, battling all sorts of monsters and giving viewers a thrilling experience of swordplay. At the top, the title "[A real man should climb to the 100th floor]" is displayed.

If you yearn for magic and mystery, then stand atop the World Tree, where the golden-haired, elegantly dressed Elf Queen gazes with deep concern at the ravaged continent below. Set against the backdrop of Norse Mythology, this world faces an invasion by Frost Giants, and awaits the arrival of a hero.

If you believe that mechs and firearms are the epitome of male romance, then the scene of a sniper with goggles, blue hair, and cat ears, precisely pulling the trigger and taking down enemies one by one on a battlefield filled with flying bullets, will surely captivate you. Here, elegance is tempered with cruelty, and amidst the gunfire, roses bloom!

Three lavish game promotional videos dominated these prominent LED screens for almost the entire day, interspersed occasionally with advertisements from Blue Umbrella Biopharmaceutical Company.

They are doing very well...

Kevin, behind the mask, smiled faintly, a sense of comfort washing over him. He forced his gaze away from the shop window, where a certain Void Songstress's new album was displayed—a product from several months ago.

At this moment, the car slowed down slightly, and the Raiden Ryoma in front hesitated to speak.

"Drive carefully. I will keep my promise..."

In the end, the person in charge of Anti-Entropy tightened his lips and said nothing more.

The answer will be revealed in a day or two; Anti-Entropy can afford to wait.

A moment later, at Raiden Ryoma's house.

Before entering, [Gray Serpent], [Jackal], and [Raven] each activated the Optical Camouflage program on their masks, switching to unfamiliar faces to avoid frightening the children in the room.

When this little girl in a kimono with long, straight black hair and a bow appeared before everyone, they were all charmed by her cuteness.

At that moment, a figure like a hungry tiger pounced on its prey and leaped into Raiden Mei's arms, hugging the adorable Pokémon in front of her and nuzzling against it while babbling away.

Kevin's lips twitched when he saw that the one who had tackled Raiden Mei to the ground and was rolling around with her on the tatami was Kiana, who had awakened some kind of fetish.

How did this kind of thing get mixed into the Kaslana Family bloodline? Who brought this inferior gene? If I find out, I'll dig up their ancestral graves.

"Father!"

Under Kiana's Obsessed Woman pursuit, Raiden Mei, whose little face was covered in drool, turned pale. Her pretense of being a little adult crumbled instantly, and she hurriedly hid behind her father, cautiously peeking out her little head.

Kevin grabbed Kiana by the collar and yanked her up like a broken sack of potatoes, handing her to Fu Hua behind him, which finally calmed her down.

Raiden Ryoma smiled more often, no longer pretending to be a mature daughter, which brought him more joy.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the private jet, which was making a stopover, was ready to depart.

Before leaving, Kevin squatted down, his outstretched hand trembling slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then gently touched Raiden Mei's little head, a complex look in his eyes behind the mask.

The little girl seemed to be affected by the strange atmosphere, and subconsciously shrank into Kevin's arms, wiping away the trace of a tear hanging from the corner of the man's eye with her raised hand.

Kevin was slightly taken aback, then realized that the Optical Camouflage of the mask and the changes in his facial expression were synchronized. He had indeed cried, but he didn't know where the emotion came from.

Raiden Mei looked at her fingertips, which were completely dry, with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. She reached out and touched Kevin's cheek with her small hand.

"Be a good girl at home..."

"Wait for me to come back..." Kevin gently pressed Raiden Mei's hand down, his voice gentle, while adding the second half of the sentence in his mind.

The little girl felt a sudden panic and reached out to hug Kevin, who was trying to get up and leave, but she still couldn't stop him from moving forward.

At ME Company's secret base, just before boarding the plane, Kevin refused Hatsune Miku and Cocolia's company and entrusted Kiana to them, asking them to take her back to Siegfried.

It's come to a close, there's no need to hide anymore. Hopefully, the arrival of his daughter will help that old friend regain his spirits.

Under the absolute authority of the Lord Alliance Leader, the two sides had no choice but to part ways.

Immediately afterward, the passenger plane broke through the clouds and flew directly westward.

Fu Hua gazed at the vast landscape below, a glint of light appearing in her eyes.

It feels so familiar, like I'm almost home...

The plane flew westward, the air grew increasingly cold, and the surrounding fog gradually thickened. Several hours later, it finally climbed the long, continuous Himalayas.

After determining the approximate location, and waiting for the plane to descend to a stable altitude, Kevin opened the cabin door, slung his suitcase over his shoulder, and jumped out with Fu Hua in his arms.

Immediately, black and white wings unfolded, and as Kevin looked around, a secret door, sparkling with fire, gradually opened in mid-air, seemingly ready to welcome guests.

The two exchanged a glance and leaped in. As the space twisted, the snow-covered scene before them suddenly changed, and they found themselves in front of an ancient wooden palace.

Dozens of disciples were gesturing and practicing circling in the square. Kevin and Fu Hua, who were relatively knowledgeable, naturally recognized that this was a ritual related to chakras and hand seals.

Sparks of free energy began to emerge around them, and Gate of Space began to take shape.

At this moment, an Asian middle-aged man wearing glasses, with his hair tied in a bun and dressed in a gray robe, led two other companions, one black and one white, to push open the door and greet them, bowing respectfully.

"Gentlemen, please..."

The severed left arm was now completely bare, clearly belonging to the Mage Hamill that Kevin remembered. Judging from his central position, he must have started his training quite early.

Kevin, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, adopting a "go with the flow" attitude. He sat in the hall, drinking the tea served by the three monks, and casually flipping through the scriptures on the table.

The content naturally includes things like initiation, reincarnation, chakras, and the soul, clearly indicating that the system originated from Tantric Buddhism.

After thinking it over carefully, Kevin seemed to be deep in thought.

By all accounts, Bishop Otto is a direct descendant of Shakyamuni. Could this be the reason why the Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi turned a blind eye to Schicksal Expedition and allowed the Apocalypse family to grow powerful?

P. S.: I suspect that the Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi and Otto have a... cough cough, a relationship.

The Ancient One comes from Tantric Buddhism, which originates from Buddhism. Otto himself is a descendant of Shakyamuni, so he doesn't want to get involved in the expansion of [Schicksal]. Let's fill in the rest of the plot holes slowly.

Chapter 384, Section 402: Go Away with the Headache, Gu Yi

Subsequently, he couldn't help but realize that the myths of this era might just be a history that had been covered up and distorted.

After Shakyamuni discovered the First Divine Key, the Void Archive, and founded Buddhism, his lineage spread to Europe, where it incorporated Christian ideas, leading to the Apokalypsis bishopric.

With the split of Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism spread to Tibet, and its most orthodox successor was clearly the Sorcerer Supreme Rinpoche.

The Kaslana Family belongs to the pure Norse Mythology system; even the name Siegfried comes from the German epic poem, the Nibelungenlied.

The prototype of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment is somewhat similar to Laevateinn, the fiery sword wielded by the Fire Giant in Norse Mythology, representing fire and sword in Human Civilization.

Fu Hua herself is clearly a representative of the traditional mythological system of Kyushu, with deep ties to Daoism, and her prototype is even recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The [World Serpent] organization, which has since vanished into the annals of history, was adept at establishing positions in strategically important but ultimately insidious locations before encroaching on the central areas.

For example, among the three henchmen of the World Serpent, the Jackal is actually the image of Anubis, the dog-headed Grim Reaper, which originates from Egyptian mythology.

The Raven, a symbol of death, is in European legend a messenger connecting the realms of the living and the dead.

The Gray Serpent itself seems to be connected to the founding of Zoroastrianism in Persia.

The image of the serpent is widespread in various mythologies, including the Norse serpent that encircles the world, the Greek serpent Ophion that gave birth to the world, and the Serpent of Eden that tempted Adam Eve to eat the forbidden fruit...

In fact, by now, religious traditions of all sizes have basically begun to emerge.

However, the core of Christianity remains dormant, and perhaps the secret lies within the Vatican; it's just unknown whether there will be an opportunity to uncover it.

As Kevin pondered, he couldn't help but gradually weave together and reconstruct the profound structure of the world.

However, after waiting for a long time, the true master of this palace, the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, still did not show up.

"Mage Hamill, where is your master?"

In theory, Kevin possesses evidence of ancient relics, Fu Hua is the prototype of the Nine Heavens Xuannü, the God of War and Conquest in the Nine Provinces. Their status is in no way inferior to that of the Sorcerer Supreme, so there is no need to be too polite.

The middle-aged monk bowed respectfully and confessed frankly.

"Night is approaching, Dormammu is acting strangely, and Master has gone to the Dark Dimension..."

Kevin immediately understood. Whether the Galactus had truly woken up or merely turned over, the Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi constantly monitored the universe, had to go.

This is because it frees him from the karmic entanglements with the various forces on Earth. Clearly, the Sorcerer Supreme doesn't like getting involved in earthly affairs, especially those related to the Apokalypsis Bishop's family.

The Mage Hamill paused for a moment, then replied again.

"However, Master already knows why you two have come, and has specially arranged a quiet room for you to stay in..."

Since that's the case, Kevin didn't say anything more. He picked up the box and stepped into the quiet room. As soon as he stepped in, he immediately sensed that the space and time around him seemed to be completely different.

"Please rest assured, your master has used a magical artifact to set up a protective barrier here, which will buy you some time before you depart. The ancient books you need have also been prepared inside..."

A magical artifact? Perhaps the Time Stone on her chest?

"How long?" Kevin asked casually.

"Six months..." Hamil replied respectfully.

"Old fox... you really don't offend anyone..." Kevin chuckled and muttered to himself.

The disciples who held the Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi in high esteem immediately stepped forward indignantly, ready to teach this rude fellow a lesson. However, faced with the Mage Hamill's piercing gaze, they had no choice but to retreat dejectedly.

Kevin then stepped inside, while Fu Hua waited at the door.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Kevin opened his briefcase and placed the crimson Origin Stone, the armor-shaped Key of Blank, and finally the Herrscher of Reason Core in front of him.
