Even Gods Must Die! / The Pufferfish Gets Carried Away
But halfway through, Fu Hua spun in mid-air, pushing her skills to the limit, and the blue nitrogen crystal sword shot out, piercing directly through the finger and palm, the tip of the sword even piercing through the inferior core of the Wind Herrscher without missing a beat.
Enraged, the fingers and palms pressed down from mid-air towards Fu Hua's location, like swatting a fly.
In an instant, smoke and dust surged violently, and the dazzling flames that separated the sandstorm slashed across, tearing the fingers and palms apart.
"I'm here. Where is your real name?"
As a figure stepped out, a deep voice echoed clearly in the surroundings.
Chapter 388, Section 406: Even Gods Must Die!
Sirin emerged from the Spatial Rift, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her fingers were slightly bent, gripping a blood-red scythe, and beneath her feet appeared a staircase formed from purplish-red crystals.
What do you think, brother?
Upon hearing this, Kevin lowered his head and helped Fu Hua up.
"Yes, I understand. I will kill you, at any cost..."
The man's calm reply disappointed Sirin, and the sarcasm on her pretty face deepened unconsciously.
Fu Hua wasn't good at reading people's minds; she could only confirm it by the bluish-red finger marks left on her arm. The captain was speaking forcefully and earnestly...
"Kill me? You think you can? Have you forgotten how pathetic you were when you fled back to the Yekaterinburg Town?"
"It seems you were the one who chose to abandon her. I've always admired your decisiveness, brother..."
Kevin looked up, his expression turning somewhat cold.
"The way you address me now just disgusts me, Sirin..."
"Since you've chosen to stand on the side of the Honkai and complete the cleansing of Human Civilization, then there's no need for further words, let's fight!"
Sirin descended and sat on the throne surrounded by the Honkai Beast army, sneering as she beckoned to Kevin and Fu Hua with her finger.
"I gave you time to struggle, but now, I'm tired of it..."
Ten thousand times the force of gravity!
Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment Annihilation Form!
At this moment, without further ado, Kevin directly unleashed the final form of the Skyfire Greatsword, fully unleashing the power of the Flame Herrscher Core and the Herrscher of Reason Core, transforming it into a hundred-foot-long stream of flame that pierced the sky, slashing down towards Sirin's location.
"Boom!"
The Lunar Surface trembled violently, and countless ravines spread out from the point of impact. Then the entire hard wasteland collapsed, and thousands of Honkai Beast fell into the abyss, while the rest instinctively fled the affected area.
"That's all? You think you can beat me with just the power of a mere Herrscher Core?"
However, as the wind howled and the dust settled, a solitary stone pillar stood upright in the very center of the impact canyon, its amethyst-like throne shining as brightly as ever.
The arrogant Queen, with just one hand raised, actually grasped the sword. The spatial force blocked the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment from advancing an inch.
But Sirin's haughty expression didn't last long before she suddenly realized that Kevin was missing someone. She became alert and, in the instant the surrounding space fluctuated abnormally, Fu Hua leaped forward and attacked.
"You've even lost your sword, what do you think you can use to win against me? Your fists again? Foolish!"
Sirin's guard was greatly reduced. The humiliation of being brutally beaten by Fu Hua in front of the Babylon Tower surged into her mind. Suddenly, the Queen snorted coldly and with a thought, the space along the way collapsed, and transparent fragments formed a dense array of chaotic blades.
But Fu Hua, with her restrained aura, is like a withered leaf dancing in the wind, always able to find a gap between the intersecting spatial blades.
When the distance closed to within a step, Fu Hua's eyes sharpened, the crimson color in his eyes surged, and he formed a sword with his right hand, its astonishing sharpness piercing through the void.
The divine is the ultimate of change; even without a sword, there is a sword. By relying on the divine, the sword is transformed, and the sword energy is formed naturally, thus connecting with the essence of the divine.
Using the body as a sheath, gathering energy as form, and concentrating the mind as a blade, this is the Great Void Sword God!
After that one sword strike, we parted ways forever, whether it was you or him...
Under this unexpected attack, the throne shattered, and a tiny crack appeared between Sirin's brows.
The chilling sword intent that then entered her body exploded in Sirin's mind, multiplying into two, then four, and in an instant into millions, striking directly into the depths of the Queen's soul, attempting to completely sever the connection between the Second Herrscher and the Honkai Origin Will.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, which was frozen in mid-air, suddenly exerted its power, broke free from the spatial constraints, and burned the ground into flowing magma.
Under the violent impact, Kevin flew to catch Fu Hua, only to see the crimson in her eyes gradually fade, her gaze returning to a pale color.
"Captain, I'll do it this time, but... please don't cry..."
Kevin recalled the few words on the last page of the diary he had secretly seen.
For millennia, this heart has been tempered; in the mortal world, this sword has been forged. To unleash the full power of the Great Void Sword God, one must sacrifice Divine Soul; once unsheathed, there is no turning back...
Well then, farewell, my friend...
The man picked up the exhausted doll and gently placed it into the Space Capsule. As it slowly rose, tears streamed down his face.
However, the moment the warm tears touched the skin, they froze into icy cold ice, and the slightly reddened eyes stared straight ahead into the surging Spatial Rift.
His final strike missed its target.
"Fifty thousand years have passed, and you still disappoint me..."
Sirin emerged gracefully from the Spatial Rift, the crack between her brows now healed. Her golden eyes opened slightly, her gaze filled with the insignificance of a superior being looking down upon ants.
"Humans, I've been generous, giving your species a chance to struggle..."
"Unfortunately, it seems the course of this era has been misguided..."
"Then let's wait for the next era..."
"But don't worry, I will leave behind seeds of new life for this world..."
Kevin took a deep breath, his expression calm.
"In the previous era, it took the successive appearance of 14 Herrscher to completely destroy our civilization..."
"And in this era, you planned from the very beginning to release the Final Herrscher..."
"So impatient? Are you disappointed, or afraid, my lord..."
Aside from Welt, the First Herrscher born naturally, the Void Songstress Ouma Mana, the Second Herrscher Sirin, and even the future Queen of the Void Kiana, they are all vessels of [God].
[Honkai] seems to have always planned to directly create the strongest Final Herrscher and wipe out the civilization of this era.
Fifty thousand years ago, Honkai event occurred, and humanity suffered repeated defeats until Earth was destroyed, with the survivors migrating to the Lunar Surface.
Finally, the eight strongest Fusion Warrior gathered, equipped with the Moonlight Throne Floating Battleship created by the genius scientist Mei, to fight a final battle against the Final Herrscher, who represents the Honkai Will.
They did not win, but they were not completely defeated either. In addition to leaving behind a massive amount of next-generation technology, they even sealed away a part of the consciousness of [God] that was sealed on the moon.
Civilization is a relay race. Since the previous generation almost accomplished the feat of "killing a god," who can guarantee that humanity doesn't possess a trump card for "killing a god"?
Sirin's expression froze, then her eyes narrowed slightly.
"So what? Fifty thousand years ago, you eight Fusion Warriors, at the cost of six lives, still couldn't defeat me. Now, even your last comrade has fallen..."
Do you think you still have a chance?
Kevin pulled the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment from the ground and saw that the return spaceship carrying Fu Hua's Space Capsule had entered its designated orbit. The last trace of concern in his heart was cut off.
"Gu Yi said, you are not the enemy..."
"Perhaps, but none of that matters anymore..."
"Today, you must die..."
ps: Thank you to reader @82180623863 for urging me to update the 10 blades.
I was originally planning to slay a god today, but I'll send Immortal Fu Hua her way first.
Chapter 389, Section 407: The Expanding Pufferfish
"You can give it a try..."
With a disdainful tone, Sirin slowly rose into the air. Her skirt fluttered as the ideal fluid swayed, and then the girl stretched out her right hand, raising her index finger.
In an instant, a pillar of fire, tens of meters in diameter, burst through the rock and rose into the air from beneath Kevin's feet.
At the critical moment, black and white wings suddenly flapped, carrying Kevin away from the high-temperature environment.
"Hmph, run away, you bug!"
Sirin pressed down with her right hand, unleashing a dense barrage of chaotic lightning bolts that formed a deadly net.
"Heavenly Fire... An-Utu!"
Kevin lunged forward, constantly wielding his sword. The flames surging from the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment shattered countless bolts of lightning, forcibly clearing a path.
You can fight against tangible matter and power, but no living being can escape the invisible death...
Sirin clenched her right hand suddenly. Kevin, who was breaking through the blockade of chaotic lightning in mid-air, felt his heart clench suddenly. A feeling similar to aging was robbing him of control over his body.
Instantly, Kevin spat out a mouthful of blood filled with ice shards, his out-of-control body plummeting towards the ground. As he fell, the deathly gray color of his body gradually spread throughout his body, his life as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
But in an instant, the raging flames of the Skyfire Greatsword surged over Kevin's entire body, and the wisps of black mist were burned away by the terrifying heat.
So what if I'm just a candle flickering in the wind? I was prepared to burn everything, just to drag you down to hell today!
While the fiery Honkai energy burned away the Death Herrscher's mist erosion, it also caused irreversible damage to Kevin himself.
On the exposed skin of his chest, the interwoven patterns of icy blue and dark red made it seem like a rock that had been ravaged by ice and fire and was about to crack at any moment.
"Imprisonment!"
Sirin's expression changed slightly. She clenched her fingers together and spoke in a low voice. Instantly, with the Herrscher Core operating at full power, the hundreds of transparent chains that had condensed in mid-air intertwined and tightly bound Kevin's limbs.
Ten Thousand Times Gravity!
The change in gravity distribution caused a slight stagnation in the flow of the ideal fluid. Kevin swung his Skyfire Greatsword repeatedly, shattering anything that blocked his path.
"Want to die? I'll grant your wish!"
Sirin's voice was cold. This time, not only was her brow furrowed, but she also used both hands. Her nimble, interlaced fingers seemed to be twisting and turning the world as if it were in her palm.
Instantly, the invisible space transformed into a tangible silver-purple medium, with sharp edges and corners, either squeezing or dividing the area where Kevin was located.
It was as if a giant hand from a god was manipulating an ant caught between its fingers, and could even crush it unintentionally with the slightest force.
Ten steps! Kevin's expression was cold and hard as he silently calculated. The frequency of the Skyfire Greatsword's swings doubled again, and the violent power broke through the limits of the Space Prison, forcefully striking the giant hand of the "god".
At the same time, fine cracks had spread across his arms, but there was no blood, and no muscle was visible; only the colors of red and blue ice and fire.
"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"
Sirin's purple hair danced wildly as she screamed, unleashing a barrage of wind locks, Lightning Serpent, flame pillars, and Death Mist.
Five steps! The Herrscher of Reason Core embedded in the Key of Blank on Kevin's chest shone brightly, and a Skyfire Greatsword also materialized in his left hand, dancing and burning away all energy clusters.
But as his movements faltered, his offensive rhythm was also disrupted.
Just as Kevin was about to come into close contact with Sirin, the space around him folded like layers of cardboard boxes, constantly shrinking towards the center and sealing him into a module about the height of a person.
Trying to emulate that woman and defeat me in close combat? How could I possibly make the same mistake?
This is a nine-layered Spatial Barrier at my limit; with two Herrscher Core, you can't escape.
So, farewell, brother...
Sirin pursed her lips and sneered, clenching her right hand into a fist, one finger at a time, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the grasshopper in the cage.
However, the spatial energy that had been under her complete control suddenly began to run rampant. The smooth-faced cube-shaped space box in front of her began to shrink and expand, and dark red light patterns, like sparks, bloomed in front of Sirin's eyes.
In an instant, the raging fire had spread, and the nine-layered Spatial Barrier, which had been compressed to its limit, shattered instantly. The Sword of Flames that pierced through the heavens and earth crashed down heavily.
Wherever the flames reached, whether it was the crater-like moon formed by the impact of a meteorite or the Honkai Beast hiding nearby, everything was reduced to ashes!
The moon trembled violently, and in countries on Earth during daylight hours, without any reports from the Tianwen bureau, a blurry outline of the moon was suddenly visible in broad daylight.
Meanwhile, affected by sudden tidal changes, coastal areas have observed the ocean surface churning violently, with waves rising even when there is no wind.
Immediately, governments around the world issued notices to ocean cruise ships and fishing boats to seek refuge and return to port.
Those who witnessed such a Tianwen spectacle either uploaded videos, attracting millions of views and shares, or borrowed Tianwen telescopes to satisfy their curiosity.
Even talk of Doomsday Judgment has spread widely, causing a series of riots on the ground.
Meanwhile, Kevin, whose strange cracks had spread to his neck, followed the massive magma rift valley that stretched for tens of thousands of meters below, flapping his wings and flying forward until he reached the end of the sword mark, where he folded his wings and fell.
