The Wall of Origin / The Trash Angel Flips the Table
This led to a break between the warlike Hela and Odin, who advocated for rest and recuperation.
Later, as time passed and circumstances changed, the Angel Nebula, the Fourth Order led by Keisha, advocated for the establishment of a stable cosmic order.
Based on Kevin's in-depth understanding of this old dream lover, the once stubborn Angel King naturally disliked discordant flaws in a perfect work of art.
Therefore, this territory, where the laws of the universe are distorted and there is no sign of life, is like a fly on a cake, which must be completely cut off.
The truth seems to be... like this?
How could that be!
The man's gaze froze, a shadow falling over his eyes.
The Titan Civilization and the Asgardian Realm, as the creators of two major orders, were certainly not lacking in visionaries. Their purpose in expanding their territories could not have been merely to demonstrate military power!
Unless, something is hidden within this Star Domain!
Some... taboos that forced them to repeatedly reinforce their troops!
"So, Your Majesty, what exactly do you want me to see?"
Kevin turned his head slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the composed Dihong Kun beside him.
Just then, the sound of a bell, originating from the secluded valley and the chaos, echoed in the man's mind, and invisible ripples spread from his chest.
Wherever the ripples reached, the disordered and chaotic mist was torn open by narrow cracks, and the towering building that occupied the entire field of vision left Kevin in a state of deep awe.
It turns out, it's this!
Chapter 1121, Section 1168: The Wall of Origin
At the edge of the desolate, starless cosmos, an endless golden wall stands majestically, its restrained radiance flowing and emanating an ancient and weathered aura.
Moreover, this seemingly straight and upward-facing building perfectly envelops the three-dimensional universe within it.
What's even stranger is that no matter the angle or method of viewing, the entire field of vision is completely occupied by this wall.
At the same time, the uneven surface of the golden wall forms faces that are either struggling in despair, peaceful and compassionate, or roaring in anger. The closer one gets, the more one realizes one's own insignificance.
The intertwined textures vaguely reveal entangled limbs, like a vivid bas-relief on a stone wall, trying to break free from their constraints.
Among them were headless giants, Valkyrie with tattered swords and armor, Star Beast roaring to the heavens, intertwined plant life, and ancient angels with their chests torn apart...
What Kevin saw reminded him of the devastating ancient graveyards on the outer edge of the Hongmeng Galaxy.
"This is..."
"The Origin Wall!"
"The true boundary of the universe! Our last barrier!"
Dihong Kun gazed ahead, then turned to Kevin and murmured to himself.
As the shock in his mind gradually subsided, the Heavenly Emperor of Lieyang, who had remained tight-lipped, finally managed to reveal part of the answer he had previously learned.
During his trip to the ruins of the Shurima Empire, Dihong Kun's consciousness was corrupted by the Void Spirit. The madness in the darkness seemed to want to break through some kind of boundary and take over his body.
Fortunately, the insurmountable barrier between him and the will of the void proved to be unbreakable, and the Heavenly Emperor of Lieyang managed to break free from the void's control through his resistance.
The barrier that resists the arrival of the void's will is this structure from my memory, called the [Origin Wall].
Based on the lingering remnants that Dihong Kun sensed after regaining consciousness, he deduced that the "origin" lies outside the wall—the answer to everything, the source of all existence.
However, these memories, so vague as to be almost unreal, prevented the Heavenly Emperor of Lieyang from being certain whether the Origin Wall, which he remembered as having helped him resist the erosion of the void's will, truly existed.
Therefore, he relied on his instinctive perception to lead Kevin on a long journey of exploration.
However, since he himself was not very confident, Dihong Kun did not reveal this answer, which could not be judged as right or wrong, before the result was available.
Life Stream System! Earth's Natural Disaster Experiment!
As the elder began to speak, Kevin felt a strange sense of familiarity, and soon he suddenly awoke, as some of the confusion in his mind cleared up.
If what Dihong Kun said is true, this Origin Wall is a fortress that shields civilization from the void catastrophe and protects it from harm.
Therefore, its function is consistent with the World Barrier formed by the "Life Stream" on Earth.
However, one is to ensure the survival of planetary civilizations, and the other is to safeguard the development of cosmic civilizations.
The series of natural disaster experiments, orchestrated and carried out by numerous behind-the-scenes manipulators, undoubtedly bear a striking resemblance to the so-called "Void Cataclysm."
Indeed! Earth is a miniature model of the development of civilizations in the universe!
They have sown a series of "possibilities" on this land, hoping to cultivate a "vaccine" to combat Ultimate Fear!
So...
"Wasn't it you who summoned us, Principal Kieran?"
Kevin slowly opened his eyes, shifting his gaze from the Origin Wall, and whispered with a resolute tone.
At this moment, as if confirming the Angel King's guess, three golden humanoid silhouettes of light peeled off from the Origin Wall and appeared in front of Kevin Dihong Kun.
The Angel King's gaze swept from left to right, pausing and scrutinizing each area in turn, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"The Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi, an old acquaintance..."
"Vice Principal Ryze, the ability to resolve the infinite crisis is largely thanks to the pet you keep tied up at your old home..."
"As for the last one, could it be Great Inventor Ding Gehei, the founder of the God Creation Project and the great inventor?"
"What should I say when we meet? 'Nice to meet you'?"
At this moment, the man's voice gradually lowered and became sinister, his smile twisted and ferocious.
"Go to hell with this 'pleasant encounter'!"
"You bunch of bastards, couldn't you find someone else to scam?! It took me ages to find one!"
The Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi, whose body existed between reality and illusion, smiled slightly and nodded, revealing a rather appreciative expression towards Kevin.
"See, I told you he couldn't hide this from me, right?"
Then, Ryze the Wandering Mage who had met Kevin a few times, gave a slightly apologetic dry laugh.
"Young friend, you've certainly had a hard time, but there's no other way..."
"Besides, no matter what storms or waves we've weathered, haven't we?"
Kevin couldn't help but feel a tickle in his teeth; the sound of his clenched teeth grinding together was accompanied by a sinister sneer.
"That's because I'm tough and lucky! Otherwise, I would have died a hundred or eighty times over!"
However, despite his burning anger, the three gleaming bald men opposite him were friendly and mild-mannered, seemingly willing to swallow their anger, leaving Kevin unable to retaliate for the time being.
Just as the menacing Angel King was looking for a reason to crack open the heads of these two bald men, Ding Gehei, who wore thick glasses and had messy hair on the right, spoke up and asked a question.
"Little friend, did you bring the Great Clock? Can I take a look at it first?"
"The Great Clock? Speaking of which, I'd like to ask, your good student Karl not only committed genocide, but also planned to tear down the barrier and welcome the Void's arrival, are you all aware of that?"
Kevin pondered for a moment, and at the same time, the Honkai Imprint lit up. He slowly drew the Flame Greatsword, his sinister gaze sweeping over the three old monsters, estimating the cutting position.
"Actually, it's a real shame about Karl. We originally planned for him to rebuild order..."
The short, wiry old man in front of him smacked his lips, completely unaware of what was happening, his face full of regret.
But before Kevin could react, Ding Gehei suppressed the nostalgia in his eyes and frankly explained the reason.
"As you've seen, Keisha is a stubborn perfectionist, only concerned with maintaining her own angelic empire, ignoring and refusing to acknowledge the real threat from the void..."
"There's no other way; we created the Super God Academy, hoping to cultivate a new god who can replace the Angel Civilization..."
"Karl was young, studious, and full of curiosity; he was the perfect candidate to tear down the facade of peace..."
Hearing the pause in Ding Gehei's voice, Ryze stepped forward, gently patted his old friend's shoulder, and sighed helplessly.
"Don't blame yourself, old friend, it's our fault together..."
"But his excessive thirst for knowledge and his obsession with proving himself ultimately destroyed him..."
Clang!
At this moment, their emotional exchange was shattered by the exhilarating clang of swords, and Kevin's face darkened slightly.
"You've gone off-topic. My question is, why allow this threat like Karl to continue to exist? Give me a reasonable explanation!"
"Moreover, it's no coincidence that Karl actually obtained the Great Clock, a technological marvel of a civilized order."
Gu Yi bowed Kevin head and clasped his hands together in prayer. His voice, with its slightly androgynous beauty, possessed a calm and serene quality that seemed to wash away any impetuousness.
"What sometimes prevents us from recognizing reality is not the unknown, but the known..."
"Keisha's Just Order must be broken; the cradle she created is too warm and comfortable..."
"Karl is the cannon fodder we're using to blast open the old order; he can awaken more people..."
Kevin raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes filled with mockery.
"But you never imagined that he could not only blast open the cradle woven by Just Order, but also almost crush the baby inside into a pulp!"
Gu Yi was as calm and composed as the Buddha holding up a flower.
"As we said on Earth, some sacrifices are necessary..."
"Everything is going according to plan..."
The Angel King smiled elegantly, his smile radiant.
"Oh? Is this part of your plan?"
The sword tip, engulfed in raging flames, pressed against the Ancient One's translucent throat. The power originating from the Six Infinity Stones converged at a single point, emitting a cold light.
P. S.: The Origin Wall uses some settings from the DC Universe; those interested can look it up themselves.
Chapter 1122 The Scumbag Angel Who Flipped the Table (Section 1169)
"All beings suffer; if necessary, I am willing to pay that price..."
As the atmosphere froze, the Sorcerer Supreme looked directly into Kevin's eyes and calmly offered his neck for execution.
The Angel King's face was calm and serene, his eyes like the deep starry sky, where all conspiracies and schemes had nowhere to hide.
"Not enough!"
"Earth is my proving ground, Karl is my whetstone..."
"The Pangu Civilization forms its foundation, nourished by the Four Great Order Bodies: the Divine River, the Titans, the Aesir, and the Angels..."
"The thousands of races of the universe are the chessboard, and billions of living beings are the pieces; everything is for the purpose of facilitating this selection game!"
"The price you pay for playing this game is your lives!"
At the same time, the man's gaze grew increasingly cold, and a trace of disdain arose in his heart.
Don't forget, in games, there are winners and losers.
Even if my sword is made of the finest steel, it might not be able to withstand the endless natural disasters and crises.
Throughout his journey, he felt as if he were walking on thin ice, constantly facing death.
The Arrival of Creator Jenova, Ragnarok, the Titan Infinity War, Exploration of the Hongmeng Galaxy, Crisis Heavenly City Merlo, The Void Judgment of Freyja...
He had traversed countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood; a single misstep could have led to utter ruin, and even his family and friends would have been dragged down into the abyss!
Kevin didn't see much of a trace of being "chosen" or "favored" by fate.
Therefore, he is the optimal choice, but not the only choice.
If they were worn down by Karl, this whetstone, would these people then embrace "Ultimate Fear" as the orthodox doctrine?
To be honest, Kevin didn't have much trust in these hidden forces behind the scenes.
Even though the three gods before him had appointed him as the chess player, he showed no intention of sitting down and making a move.
Because Kevin's greatest talent isn't playing chess, but flipping tables!
"Answers! Give me all the answers!"
