The Necessary Conditions for a Date with C.C.

The Shinra Research Lab was now deserted. CC, who had come with them, saw that there were still many ingredients left in the kitchen and had a sudden idea, so she came up with this whole thing.

"Hmph, give up on that idea. The person asking you for help is a puppy!"

It was a rare opportunity to experience something so unprecedented in the long course of life. CC was in high spirits, casually responding with a smile as she continued to flip the half-cooked grilled meat.

"It's time for work, don't move around..."

Kevin glanced at the Skyfire Greatsword, which was nearly saturated with Honkai energy and embedded in the magma, then beckoned it with a flick of his finger. He reached out and grasped CC's idle left hand, his eyes gently closed, and the three wings on his back slowly flapped.

At the same time, Kevin's perception, as it passed through CC's body, split into threads, flowed into the earth's veins, and refracted in all directions, covering a thousand miles in an instant.

Kevin vividly recalled the geological features, composition, and Honkai energy overflow index of the entire Four Islands of Japan, with Mount Fuji at its core.

As the Skyfire Greatsword rose, the Honkai energy accumulated in the various ley lines seemed to be summoned, flowing wildly towards Mount Fuji like a thousand rivers flowing into the sea.

Herrscher are spirits born from Honkai energy, possessing the extraordinary power to command and use it.

Not to mention Kevin's monstrous possession of three cores—Void, Reason, and Thunder—plus one core on the Greatsword of Great Fire.

Besides the quad-core processor, the immortal witch by his side is also the original text that records all things in the world, and can read all kinds of fundamental information at any time and rewrite it appropriately.

Kevin's current authority doesn't seem to be very limited; he can only change the flow of ley line energy, which the Savior finds quite frustrating.

But even if one harbors resentment towards the Human God - Alaya), it is meaningless, because this is truly not the case of that person being stingy.

According to Hatsune Miku, the Earth's ability to survive for nearly 4.6 billion years in the vast universe is largely due to the three major defensive mechanisms created by the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia.

The first line of defense is primarily external, the World Barrier – Life Stream. This great source of life on Earth can hide our coordinates and resist most external erosion.

The second line of defense is primarily inward, relying on the planet's self-cleaning mechanism— the Honkai Catastrophe. As for why it evolved into a brutal purge that restricts the development of civilization, Kevin has no idea.

As Human Civilization began to develop, the Human God - Alaya was born, had only a vague understanding of this, and she uttered a single word—"Ultimate Fear."

As civilization continued to climb to its peak, Earth Mother Goddess Gaia who sensed the threat, created a third manually operated defensive mechanism.

To put it more vividly, it's the key to forcibly restarting the system after an unexpected crash.

The third backup mechanism, the Record of All Things - the [Code] Original, has been passed down through generations of intelligent beings, and the Record of All Things before us is naturally this ageless and immortal Green Haired Witch.

Is it a game between the planet itself and the intelligent life forms it nurtures? Will the losing side relinquish the power of choice to the victor?

In a daze, Kevin seemed to have grasped a clue to the cause of the Honkai catastrophe, but then he rolled his eyes and complained to CC, who was enjoying her meal.

"All you care about is eating! You're making such a fuss over changing the flow of ley lines! You're such a weak Record of All Things!"

CC, who had clearly discussed some secrets and speculations with Kevin, took a vicious bite of her meat skewer and responded irritably.

"Aside from the inability to die even when I want to, I can't use any of the original texts myself!"

"Nonsense! If anyone could easily connect to the Source and modify the world, would we even be able to live like this..."

"Wait! Damn! There's a special key to unlock it, isn't there? It seems Gaia isn't just wary of you, but also of the person who possesses the original text. I knew it wouldn't be that easy!"

When Kevin mentioned "defense," he suddenly realized what was going on and cursed under his breath.

"By the way, speaking of which, after I was ambushed, I remained in a dormant state until Saint Fath, when I was awakened by a strange resonance, as if there was some special connection between her and me..."

CC tapped her little head, offering fragmented information with a hint of confusion.

Kevin's pupils contracted sharply, his thoughts racing, and he muttered to himself.

Saint Fath... The first person to open the coffin was... Tokisaki Kurumi... No way... What a coincidence?

Having regained his memories, Kevin was naturally very familiar with this name.

Now, he even regrets letting go of the Japanese girl who invited him to spend a day at the cat cafe so easily.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

The curious Green-haired Witch leaned closer, resting her chin on her hand and pressing for answers. She couldn't help but want to know the answer to her question about her actual function.

"I think I've already guessed the key that can truly activate the [Code Original]."

Kevin exhaled softly, pinched CC's pointed chin, and turned her pretty face to the side.

"Stop talking nonsense! What is it? Tell me!"

Knowing the cause of the Code, perhaps she could finally escape this nightmare; CC was somewhat anxious.

"Give me a free order of grilled skewers..."

Kevin, grinning, took advantage of the situation. The Green Haired Witch across from him, who hated being taken advantage of, twitched her lips and obediently handed over the meat skewer, choosing only the darkest one.

"From now on, you're not allowed to curse me in your heart..."

"How could I..."

CC had a bright smile and a very sincere expression.

"Eat, eat, eat! I'll choke you to death!"

"Serves you right for biting your tongue while eating sunflower seeds! The Taiyaki had no filling! The Oden all wasabi! And the potato chips all tasted like garlic!"

Kevin: "..."

After a quarter of an hour of staring at each other, Kevin, completely helpless against the cunning green-haired guy, rolled his eyes and snorted.

"If I'm not mistaken, the key to the [Code Original] should be in -- Amamiya City..."

"Perhaps, they could be called... [The Ten Angels]..."

P. S.: The foreshadowing is now resolved; look how seamlessly the story connects to Amamiya City.

I've already given you so many heart-pounding moments in the previous volumes, you have to trust me.

Chapter 551, Section 579: The Necessary Conditions for Dating CC

[Ten Angels]? CC stroked her chin thoughtfully, her wariness of Kevin deepening. The girl, gradually piecing together someone's true identity, somewhat regretted her rashness on Skull Island.

Why didn't you just say you were a psychopath who Honkai Will?! All you did was play dumb! So insidious!

Based on Kevin's experience, CC eventually understood why the Code contract was invalidated and backfired.

This is a pervert who dragged the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia to her death in Siberia. The piecing together of his soul fragments inevitably incorporated Gaia's divinity, thus elevating his status to the highest level.

Even more unfortunately, the Code mark of the Record of All Things was originally a backup measure left by the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia.

Using the Code mark bestowed by Gaia to force a contract to eliminate the will of the Earth Mother Goddess is like hitting a brick wall – is there anything more stupid than that?

CC recalled her miserable experience, rubbed her aching lower back, and felt like crying but couldn't, so she could only continue to grumble in her heart.

"After this is all over, we might even have to go to Amamiya City to play Date A Live..."

Kevin scratched his head and muttered to himself, then sighed helplessly.

As Gaia said, she is immortal, Honkai Will is merely a mode of existence within it. Therefore, after the [god] disintegrates, a new world spirit will inevitably be born.

Every cause has an effect; everything is connected by a single thread.

"A date? With you? No way would I want to!"

Upon hearing its owner's ambitions, CC immediately bristled and bared its teeth fiercely at its nemesis.

Kevin, who had only been making a few jokes, noticed the Green Haired Witch who had been acting a bit wild lately. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he placed his hand on her shoulder with a smile.

"Okay, I'll do my best to accommodate you..."

CC's eyebrows twitched, and she felt a chill run down her spine. Before she could respond, the hand on her shoulder suddenly tightened its grip.

"Come, as you wish, first fulfill the sufficient but not necessary conditions for a date..."

Kevin blinked, pondered for a moment, and then the two of them suddenly plummeted into the raging torrent of lava.

"Damn Kevin! You son of a bitch!"

CC, plummeting into the air, scratched and clawed wildly like a cat, its mournful cries instantly swallowed by the surging lava.

Meanwhile, as night deepened, the Jenova Cells that had spread throughout the Four Islands of Japan were quietly released from cracks in the ground, drifting lightly into the bodies of plants, insects, animals, and even Lian Shan and rivers.

A rustling sound of shoots growing was heard, and strange shadows began to grow wildly in the darkness. Several outposts of the Imperial Army, which were stuck on a remote path, were instantly engulfed in screams.

The next day at dawn, Tokyo.

Residents who had been hiding in their homes, corners, and various shelters Door Opening and took to the streets.

They were shocked to discover that the world they knew had undergone a complete transformation.

The green vegetation lining both sides of the road has a jade-like luster, and some trees have scattered milky-white fruits hanging from their branches.

Miraculously, vegetation has sprung up on the Ruins, and silvery-white fountains are now flowing from the once terrifying fissures in the ground.

What's even more incredible is that despite such a huge commotion, there were no casualties, and no one seemed to notice the change in the outside world.

It was as if [God] stretched out his hands from the clouds, redrawing the lines of this world according to his own preferences, and patiently coloring them.

While everyone was still in a daze, a sparrow landed on a branch and pecked at several milky-white fruits that had grown on the white jade tree.

"Chirp... chirp!"

After the sparrow had finished sucking up the fruit, its feathers fell off layer by layer, and its joints cracked and popped.

When everyone came to their senses, they were shocked to find that the sparrow was more than ten times larger and had a wingspan of half a meter, clearly having undergone a complete transformation in both its appearance and its imposing presence.

One of the rioters, suffering from Star Mark Syndrome, seemed to sense a resonance with his surroundings; the fruit on the trees and the water on the ground seemed to exert an irresistible pull on him.

He couldn't resist stepping forward, picking a fruit, and swallowing it. A warm current surged through him, dispelling his hunger and the cold. Even the scrapes he had sustained while fleeing gradually healed.

At the same time, the Geostigma on his body became more pronounced.

A miracle! This is a miracle!

People who were worried about food and water shortages were suddenly filled with excitement, cheering for the blessing from heaven.

Although some people still have doubts and hope to at least have the ingredients tested, or wait for order to be restored and for government relief, the voices of reason seem weak and powerless in the face of the masses who have already taken advantage of the situation.

However, the amount of water and fruit available is clearly insufficient compared to the more than ten million residents of Tokyo.

Who knows if it's poisonous! That's how I console myself when I haven't gotten anyone.

However, as more and more people succumbed to the temptation, they began to consume these waters and fruits.

The fat on the overweight otaku has shrunk, the hunched office worker's joints are flexible, and the elderly who were once fearful have rosy complexions... Their physical condition has improved significantly.

Of course, painless and non-itchy Geostigma marks also appeared on various parts of the user's body.

However, compared to the actual results, the Geostigma patches that showed no visible harm were somewhat insignificant, leaving the collectors who returned empty-handed with deep regret.

"Mana! Born of the earth, it is the bread [God] has given to mankind!"

The man who was the first in the crowd to swallow the fruit had a fanatical look in his eyes, and the "guidance" in his mind was becoming clearer and clearer.

"To receive, one must first give! Behold, the Kingdom of God is being reborn from destruction!"

"Only by punishing the devil can we truly understand our own sins! The sinking of Four Islands of Japan is a fact!"

As the man screamed wildly, [God] seemed to sense his devotion, and the earth in front of him cracked open, releasing a silver fountain.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was rushing to pour a pool of spring water into a container, a strong tremor came again. The ground seemed to be sinking, and those with good eyesight could even see the advancing coastline.

"Revelation! Revelation! Hell is empty, all the devils are here among us!"

"If you don't want to be dragged into the abyss by this corrupt country, then prove your piety to our Creator who has come to save us!"

"Mana, only the blood of demons can nourish and nurture it!"

Only by cleansing itself of its sins can the earthly kingdom become the heavenly Eden!

The puppet "revealed" by the Creator Jenova is fanatically proselytizing, and his highly inflammatory words are getting more and more people to echo his sentiments.

"Whoosh!"

A pure white wing burst through the fabric of his clothes and unfolded from behind, causing an uproar. The delirious believers tossed the "saint" high into the air, and some patients with more severe Geostigma marks also began to mutter incoherently.

They collected various paints, and even their own blood, to paint all sorts of bizarre symbols on the faces, limbs, and clothing of the [saints].

"Chosen ones, this nation is dying! We should not be buried with the devil! Go forth and save it! Prove your devotion to our Lord Jenova!"

Punish the demons! Rebuild Eden!

The [saint] spread his arms wide, his face, covered in symbols, displaying a fanatical to ferocious expression!

Punish the demons! Rebuild Eden!
