A Walking Legend (Fourth Bonus Chapter) / Care from a "Father" (Fifth Bonus Chapter)

Jill Hera summoned all the Cursed Children and distributed the potion Zack had sent to them. Trusting them, the little ones did not hesitate to inject the potion into their veins.

A solemn atmosphere prevailed atop the monolithic defensive line, as everyone awaited the final dawn.

As night fell, the Creator gazed coldly at his ruined masterpiece, and the lightning that had tried to stop him was struck down and fell like a butterfly with broken wings.

"Oh no, Captain! Quick!!"

Cloud grabbed Zack and flung him into the air, but as the black mist enveloped him, the Shinra Special Forces with outstretched wings was slammed into the ground at an even faster speed.

Cloud was also smashed into the deep pit, and the outer three layers of the Imperial Army's defenses were completely destroyed.

"Roar! Roar!"

In Stage Five, Taurus was half-shattered by a fragment of a giant stone monument casually thrown by Jenova, and lay on the ground, barely clinging to life.

Meanwhile, another Stage Five and the Pseudo-Herrscher Mina beside her were also in a near-death state.

Surrounded by two first-order Shinra Special Forces, the Avalanche quartet was unable to break free. Faced with overwhelming power, humanity suffered a crushing defeat.

The one-winged [Saint], encased in the Gastrea, opened his eyes and stared in astonishment at the black metal fragment piercing his heart.

Why did his God abandon him? But even as the light in his pupils faded, he still did not see the Creator turn back.

"Foolish lives, how pathetic! You... all deserve to die!"

After Jenova finished dealing with the Gastrea, he saw that the tens of thousands of perfect seedbeds he had painstakingly accumulated had been almost completely wiped out, and he immediately lost patience.

As the Creator pressed down with his right palm, waves thousands of meters high suddenly crashed down, and the overwhelming curtain of water completely obscured the faint light cast by the pale dawn sky. Everything sank into darkness, and despair filled the eyes of the crowd.

The infected, who were more afraid than worshipful, retreated and crawled on the ground, trembling.

Faced with the imminent submersion of human cities, many of the infected felt a sense of desolation, as if they were all sharing the same fate.

It turns out that their god, indifferent to kindness, would also slaughter his own flock...

So it turns out, angels can fall, saints can die, and God's chosen people are still just ants to be slaughtered...

God did not lie; this place will become God's pasture, and they are indeed the chosen lambs.

But they were merely livestock, provided with blood and flesh, left to be slaughtered at will... The crowd suddenly realized...

As the Creator's wings slowly flapped, endless black mist rose from the cracks in the earth and descended from the sky.

The light has faded, Darkness is coming!

Chapter 556 The Walking Myth (Fourth Update)

At the critical moment, a blazing light swept across the sky, instantly evaporating the thousands of meters of waves, leaving behind a thick, eggshell-like black mist that split in two.

"Jenova, the alien god, game time is over."

With a deep, magnetic murmur, a figure tore open Spatial Rift and stepped through the void behind the water vapor, the Flame Greatsword in his hand gleaming brightly.

"This is my land! How dare you presume to overthrow the throne that God has forged?!"

The creator, Jenova, spoke in a cold, sluggish voice, casually beckoning, and wisps of black mist surged towards her, instantly repairing her minor injuries.

"You can give it a try..."

Kevin spoke in a low voice, opening the Space Bridge Interface to the Shinra core laboratory. Hundreds of sealed canisters filled with suppressant were sent to the skies Four Islands of Japan and exploded with a bang.

As the dust-like particles dissipate into the air and are dispersed by the wind, springs dry up, white jade trees wither and die, and the Geostigma- shaped patches on the bodies of patients with Star Mark Syndrome decrease sharply.

The Earth Mother Goddess Gaia's restraining power has returned! Her connection with this land is being severed!

Jenova, the Creator, had a cold glint and shock in his narrow eyes, and a strong sense of confidence burst from his mouth.

"You couldn't beat me before! And you still can't now!"

The Masamune sword slashed and thrust horizontally, its eerie light sweeping across the sky.

Skyfire Annihilation!!

Kevin's lips curled up, and in an instant, a pillar of light pierced through the heavens and earth, cleaving through layers of air waves.

Immediately, the three-meter-long Masamune sword broke in half, its blade slicing from the Creator's left shoulder down to Jenova's right leg, nearly splitting him in two.

"First, you should get a new knife. I broke it once, and I've memorized its weakest point."

"Secondly, the reason I didn't want to fight you last time was because I wasn't confident enough..."

"As for now, Sephiroth, you should kneel down and call me father!"

At this moment, with a low, mocking snort, four pure white wings suddenly unfurled behind Kevin and began to flutter slowly.

What's overflowing from the ley lines of Mount Fuji? Honkai energy! Only a fool would do good deeds anonymously and waste such precious resources.

Even without using Raiden Ryoma's purification technology, I'm still an expert at playing with Honkai energy!

With the help of the four islands' ley lines, the fourth Herrscher Core was finally replicated and activated, so everyone's strength is now roughly equal.

Moreover, the superposition of two Flame Herrscher Core, this Skyfire Greatsword that has been nurtured and charged in the magma, is such an extremely powerful blow that even you cannot withstand!

"I am immortal! I will never lose to you inferior creatures!"

The creator, Jenova, uttered a strange, mixed voice, cold and deep.

In an instant, countless black dots converged from all directions; hundreds of deserted Shinra Special Forces came at the call of their "mother."

Although far inferior to Sephiroth and others, under the already exhausted Stonehenge defenses, if the reinforcements Kevin were tied down, they could absolutely overwhelm the Shinra's lair.

"I am the future of this land! You cannot stop the Ark of Stars from setting sail!"

The Creator Jenova frantically absorbed the Jenova Cells scattered around, causing his body to swell to tens of feet tall, his wings blotting out the sky.

Under her guidance, the four islands rose from the sea and floated into the starry sky.

"Coincidentally, the one I dragged down with me last time said the same thing."

"Besides, whether Japan sinks or soars into the sky, I really don't care at all..."

"The only reason they've survived until now is because I'm worried that killing too many will create a global pandemic."

Kevin gave a mocking smile, looking down at the infected crawling on the ground, their faces filled with astonishment, before finally fixing his gaze on the Abandoned Commercial District shrouded in a black mist.

"I'd rather send the wicked to God to repent than make them atone for their sins..."

"So, now that the disease is cured, killing becomes much easier..."

With a casual stroke, the Creator's body, nearly exhausted by the thunder, snapped in two.

Where tens of thousands of Jenova mutants were located, the earth's crust cracked, and scalding magma gushed out. The believers who were still barely clinging to life were reduced to burning charcoal before they could even utter a scream.

Then, the dark red river of fire surged and swirled, continuously compressing the living space of the remaining tens of millions of infected people.

"This land is rotting..."

"I have already punished you! I hope this will serve as a warning! But you remain obstinate and continue to make the same mistakes!"

Kevin stretched out his right hand, and the two remaining Stage Five Gastrea, sensing the terrifying pressure, reacted with the docile instincts of a house cat, cautiously welcoming the touch of this Judgment Angel.

"I once bestowed upon the Son of God! To end war! You call it a curse! To reject slaughter!"

Under the sunlight, everyone was astonished to discover that behind the nearly one hundred Cursed Children on the city wall, pure white wings of light unfurled, like angels descending to earth.

Compared to the twisted and deformed creations under Jenova's command, they were so beautiful and pure.

"Now, I grant healing! I erase the Geostigma planted by the alien gods! You are restored to your human form! Therefore, it is my turn to judge!"

Kevin smiled coldly, raised his right hand, and hundreds of strangely shaped, mass-produced Angel weapon materialized, guarding him from behind.

At the same time, their sword tips cleaved through the black mist that shrouded the Abandoned Commercial District, their ferocious yet majestic figures swirling and dancing in the air.

The man looked down with disdain at the creatures crawling and trembling on the ground, and at Honshu Island rising above the sea. His voice was deep and penetrating, as if it were ringing in everyone's ears.

"Humans, didn't you want to see God? Your wish has been granted. Listen carefully..."

"I am Uriel, the Blade of Judgment who wields wrath and thunder, the Angel of Righteousness, the Hell Commander!"

"I am both hope and despair!"

"Fools, whether you go to Eden or Hell is not up to her, it's up to me!"

In an instant, thunder filled the sky, and the shadowy figure of a dragon weaved through the clouds, its world-destroying power pressing down.

Whether one chooses to be a sinner caught up in the chaos or a lamb cowering in Abandoned Commercial District, fear inevitably creeps into one's heart.

They feared the sinking of Japan and the Creator's cleansing, but they never imagined that the same figure would also do so!

The two pairs of pure white wings and the God-made weapon that appear in medieval angel illustrations behind him, along with a series of other verifications, all point to the fact that the man before them is a mythical figure who stepped out of the Bible!

That's indeed the case!

Fifty thousand years after the annihilation of the previous generation, a new era began, and the surviving Super Soldier created myths in their respective cultural spheres.

Kevin awakens, calling himself Kaslana, and helps humanity resist the Honkai. His descendants are the Kaslana Family. With the great feat of defeating Honkai Beast, his image has been written into various mythological figures.

Myths have become history.

Chapter 557, Section 585: The Love from the "Old Father" (Fifth Update)

[World Serpent] Kevin once used the Greatsword of Annihilation to defend his sanctuary and fight Honkai Beast before the Common Era. These deeds were compiled into the Bible by the humans who witnessed them.

Thus, the records of "the flaming sword guarding Eden and the heavenly fire burning Sodom" came about (derived from Honkai Impact 3rd records).

He is also the prototype of the Legend of King Arthur's Holy Sword. Super beings like them, if they live long enough, will become part of history and even mythology.

From the moment Kevin created the SCP Foundation using SCP-001, he never imagined that the wheels of fate had already been turned.

I am the true [Eden Angel]! Whether it's legend or historical fact!

Now, the real trial begins! Humans knelt in fear, gazing at the fiery currents rising from the earth's crust, the God-made weapon that were closing in on and pursuing the Shinra Special Forces in mid-air, and then at the purple lightning bolts that symbolized the wrath of the gods, winding down one after another.

Their minds went blank, they trembled instinctively, and the unbearable hardships they had endured in their struggle for survival flashed through their minds.

They secretly supported the Schrodinger Company's extraction of Earth's core energy and turned a blind eye to irrefutable evidence of the spread of Crystallization Sickness...

Children whose trials are postponed are treated as victims of curses and misdeeds...

Knowing full well that the alien god Jenova had ulterior motives, he willingly became her henchman...

The city is engulfed in smoke and fire, the country is on the verge of sinking—is it truly just a natural disaster?

As remorse and despair spread in the face of God, the infected subconsciously resisted the Jenova Cells, wishing they could tear them out of their bodies to prove that they were merely coerced and remained innocent.

Wisps of black mist were expelled from their bodies, flowing back into the surrounding air, and finally being swallowed up by the two pieces of their fallen remains.

Amaterasu!

Dark wings tore through the void, and the figure, wielding a broken blade, suddenly charged forward.

However, Kevin, with a solemn expression, charged forward, his Sword of Flames piercing Sephiroth's abdomen as he dodged.

"Outside of this planet, we're evenly matched; we could fight seventeen or eighteen times over..."

"Now, even the seedbeds you've painstakingly cultivated have begun to betray your faith..."

"The creator Jenova's initial investment didn't even recoup the initial cost..."

"This is my home turf, you have absolutely no chance..."

The man gazed at the dark wings behind Sephiroth, his voice low and somber.

"To be honest, it has nothing to do with justice or evil..."

"Humans are very pragmatic creatures; most will only side with the winner..."

"Unfortunately, I've never lost, while you've lost once..."

Therefore, don't bet your resources on winning people's hearts...

"This is the Last Lesson I, as your father, will teach you..."

Sephiroth sensed the passing of life, countless Jenova Cells being extinguished or expelled. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a playful smile appearing on his face, his tone somber.

"What Mother wanted us to surpass was you..."

"I will not become a memory..."

Then, the black wings slowly closed, and as the feathers fluttered, Sephiroth dissipated like morning mist.
