Brave Kevin Fears No Difficulties

When Zhu Yufeng asked this, Hua was taken aback for a moment, then recalled for a second and nodded, "That's right, the day before you were about to take action, Lilith did come to me to borrow the Feather Dust. She said it was to give you a surprise, and she only borrowed it for a short while. Is there a problem?"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

This is a huge problem; frankly speaking, it might actually be a "surprise"...

"After that, did you use Feather Dust again? Or rather, how long was the interval between you using Feather Dust again after Lilith returned it to you?" Zhu Yufeng asked again.

Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng with some confusion. She probably knew that Zhu Yufeng had accepted the hypothesis that Lilith learned about his memories through Feather Dust, but didn't he also say that Feather Dust was ineffective against him?

Hua glanced at Elysia and then said, "It must have been a few hours. If you're asking whether Lilith used the Feather Dust Zero Rated Rate, then I think she probably did. Because when she returned the Feather Dust me, although it was still functioning, it could no longer activate the Zero Rated Rate."

"Huh..." Zhu Yufeng smirked. So Lilith used this "fake death" to exploit the characteristics of the Honkai Beast Yanluo, along with the zero-rate-probability assistance of Feather Dust, to bind her consciousness to his own during the final step of his Project: Ascend to Divinity ...

No wonder he found himself handling things he couldn't before with ease during that period; even though Ai Ai knew nothing about music, she was able to correct Eden's doubts about musical pieces...

So Lilith was the one doing all the work...

"What do you mean, 'Hua'?" Elysia tilted her head, looking at Hua. "Hua, what is the zeroth rated rate of the Feather Dust?"

Hua Bucai simply answered honestly, "It means that it allows one's consciousness to leave the body."

Elysia thought for a moment, "Consciousness separated from the body? That means Lilith couldn't have used Feather Dust to enter Feng's consciousness during that time, could it? But Hua also said that Lilith only borrowed it for a short while. In such a short time, how could Lilith have seen all of Feng's memories without being discovered by Feng?"

It's important to know that Zhu Yufeng fused with a bunch of Honkai Beast in the later stages, including the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Mitra fused with by Su. Although his mental perception ability was not as good as Su and Aponia, who specialized in this area, it was still among the strongest.

"What... did you discuss?" Kevin asked.

"The Eighth Divine Key, the Consciousness Key Feather Dust ... Its zeroth rated power not only allows the user's consciousness to detach from their body, but also binds it to the consciousness of another body." Zhu Yufeng stated his deduction expressionlessly, "Lilith used the Feather Dust zeroth rated power on herself, and during the restraint tragedy, she used the characteristics of the Honkai Beast Yanluo to detach her consciousness from her body, but it was also in a state of temporarily attaching to the dead body, waiting for me to carry out the final step of the Project: Ascend to Divinity, using Vishnu's characteristics to devour all the Fallen Angel ... In the end, her consciousness was bound to mine, and she has been watching us from my perspective until the Finality ..."

Since there's no way to escape now, there's no point in hiding it. At least if I tell them, I can ask Elysia or Kevin for help, so I don't get knocked out of the dark room by Vill-V.

Elysia's eyes widened, Pardo dropped the half-eaten apple in her hand, and even Sakura couldn't hold back any longer, instinctively straightening up to ask what was going on.

"It's clear she truly loves you." Kevin mused. He felt a pang of envy; if only Mei had Lilith's passionate love...

True soulmate! As expected of Lilith!

I'm Kevin shipper for this pairing, even the Finality won't change that, I'm telling you!

Elysia was speechless. Lilith could even do this? It was simply outrageous!

Pardo silently picked up the apple from the ground, her face numb. She wondered if it was too late for her to become Lilith's apprentice. Or rather, when Sister Elysia and Lilith were fighting over Brother Yu Feng, should she take sides? She felt that Sister Elysia couldn't beat Lilith either.

Now, Lilith doesn't care what she does anymore. She's even using this method. What else can't Lilith do?

A sharp pain in Sakura's left shoulder instantly brought her back to her senses. She glanced at Elysia and Pardo's reactions. She knew how much these two felt about Maple, and she knew how much she felt about herself too. However... she just felt more and more that she really couldn't outmaneuver Lilith. She should just stay obediently by Maple's side from now on.

Consciousness binding... that is indeed a crazy idea. Did Lilith foresee all of this back then?

While everyone was still reeling from the news, the honest Hua spoke up, "But Feng, how did you know Feather Dust could do that?"

Everyone looked at Zhu Yufeng. Yes, although Zhu Yufeng had used most of the divine keys, he had used Star Sea Harmony and Jie Mie. He was even a warrior who was allowed to hold the Sixth and Eleventh Divine Key at the same time.

But no one has ever heard of Feather Dust using it.

Elysia was the first to realize that Zhu Yufeng probably knew about this sometime in the future, when someone used this zeroth rated power...

In that case, it seems Lilith has actually accomplished this.

"Theoretically, it is possible. I've heard Rovoc mention it." Zhu Yufeng decisively pulled Rovoc out to take the blame. Anyway, she had also participated in the creation of the Divine Key and had indeed conducted research on the Feather Dust. Now that she herself had no memories of her previous life, no one could verify the truth of this news!

With Rovoc's endorsement, at least others could believe it.

He knew this news might make his future days less peaceful, but he had asked Hua about it for no reason and hadn't given an answer. Even if others didn't say anything, Elysia would definitely keep asking, and he couldn't avoid Vill-V eavesdropping, so... he might as well just say it directly.

"But... why would you think that?" Hua continued to ask.

"Now, apart from Griseo, all the other Flame-Chasers have memories of their previous lives, while the Fallen Angel, except for Lilith and me, have no memories," Zhu Yufeng replied. "Obviously, this is a problem—why is Lilith a special case? Now, through Hua Ni's answer, I understand. Lilith lived until the Finality time, so it's not surprising that she retained memories of her past life after being placed in captivity. Besides, during that time, didn't you notice that I was somewhat different from before?"

"A reasonable deduction." Kevin nodded. "You were incredibly efficient at handling affairs during that period. Even when multitasking, you managed to manage everything methodically. I thought it was the Project: Ascend to Divinity that gave you an advantage, but now it seems that Lilith was probably handling it for you. After all, May also mentioned that you handled some affairs, and Lilith's style was quite prominent in them. We all thought it was because you and Lilith had spent too much time together and influenced each other. Her sudden passing must have been a huge blow to you, so you became somewhat like Lilith."

"Now that you mention it, Kevin, it seems that's how it is..." Pardo also began to reminisce, "After the tragedy of the restraint, Brother Yu Feng became incredibly accurate at guessing what others were thinking. We've always been simple-minded, and during that time, we couldn't hide anything from Brother Yu Feng."

At the time, she thought the Project: Ascend to Divinity was too perverse, and that the gap between Heroes and mortals was enormous.

However, that period was quite good. Even though Brother Yu Feng became cold, he would always bring her small gifts or help her with her new "goods".

Wait a minute, if Lilith was really in the mood back then, she didn't seem to mind her little actions at all, right? Because Brother Yu Feng never scolded her... Well, that makes sense, Lilith's consciousness was bound to Brother Yu Feng's as his soulmate, so with her personality, she really wouldn't care about these things at all.

Sakura wanted to say something, but seeing that Elysia's expression was not quite right, she decided to remain silent.

Elysia felt wronged; how could she possibly know? She couldn't even see Zhu Yufeng back then, how could she possibly know any of this?!

When Zhu Yufeng gave Eden her advice, she had already returned to the origin of Honkai. She only learned the details from Eden after her rebirth. She wanted to know the details of the Project: Ascend to Divinity, but Mobius was determined not to let her know.

Therefore... based on Feng's deduction, Lilith already knew that she would act before the Fallen Angel to execute the first battle plan, and she also foresaw the Fallen Angel's fate...

In some ways, did she actually help Lilith?

She could understand Lilith's thoughts. After all, Feng had admitted that he only realized his feelings for Lilith after the Tragedy of Binding. Before that, Lilith probably felt that even if Feng didn't like her, it wouldn't affect her wanting to stay by Feng's side. In addition, fighting against the Herrscher of Binding was almost no different from suicide, so she took such extreme measures...

What is this? A soulmate in a physical sense?

The room fell silent for a moment.

Finally, it will be up to Kevin to break the silence, although he seems to be trying to set himself on fire.

All that could be heard was the head of the Kai- Feng-Lilith Faction, the God of Pure Love, the One Who Forges Ahead Without Fear of Difficulties, saying, "In that case, we'll stay here for another two days. You should try to spend as much time as possible with Lilith during these two days. After that, you won't see each other for a long time again."

Pardo stared in disbelief. Wait, was this still the calm and reliable Kevin? Even when they were just talking about Lilith's situation, Boss Kevin's tone was unhurried and measured. The Present...

Why does he seem a bit like a worried old man who desperately wants his son to find a wife?

It seems that this isn't quite the right way to describe it...

In short, is this the true strength of the Archbishop of the Feng-Lilith Faction? Sister Elysia's expression has been off since earlier. You still dare to talk like that? You really are Boss Kevin.

If Sister Elysia hits you later, we... we'll call an ambulance for you depending on the situation.

Sakura looked at Kevin without saying a word. Although she didn't want to get involved, there was still Elysia here. Kevin, is this really okay?

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

You're risking your life to ship this couple, Kevin! This is even more extreme than when Hen risked his life to confront Mobius about shipping himself and Elysia.

There's not just Elysia here, there's also Vill-V eavesdropping. Who knows, she might even go to Mobius. If that happens... Kevin, I'm afraid that if I don't stay by your side when we get back, you might be gone one day.

Before Elysia was already emitting dark energy, could speak, Zhu Yufeng interjected, "Lilith is here to handle business matters. She doesn't have much time..."

"I think she'll definitely drop everything for you," Kevin said confidently, then, under Zhu Yufeng's desperate glare, he finally noticed that Elysia's expression was a little off.

Kevin said, "There are still some unresolved issues with Hen, and Griseo is not even three years old yet. He needs to maintain his relationship with Blanca and Griseo. How about you, Elysia..."

The next second, Elysia, who had been rebuffed by Lilith this morning and had been holding back until the Present, finally couldn't take it anymore. With a wave of her hand, the pink crystal immediately sealed Kevin's mouth like a mask.

"Kevin, if I don't tell you, you're just going to be a block of wood, aren't you?" Elysia said with a smile. "How can you expect me to be the one standing next to Feng the Present, and we're using fake identities here? You want my lover to go on a date with another girl?"

But the fake identity isn't real. Kevin wanted to say that, but he was silenced by Elysia and could only look at Zhu Yufeng.

Elysia smiled as she looked at Zhu Yufeng.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Why are you all looking at me? If you ask me, I don't think I can give up here yet, so there's only one answer: from the heart...

Just as Zhu Yufeng was about to speak up to find a way to save Kevin and comfort Elysia, the honest Hua spoke up again, "Judging from Pardo's description, you all got along quite well when you had breakfast this morning, didn't you? Why don't the three of you just have breakfast together?"

Zhu Yufeng was speechless for a moment. Sometimes, being too honest can make you seem like a scheming person.

He had a pleasant time with his friend? He was completely dazed throughout breakfast.

I doubt Elysia would find this breakfast particularly enjoyable either.

Elysia: "..."

If it were before, she might have agreed, the Present has officially met Lilith a few times, she doesn't want to see Lilith at all. She has no interest in watching Lilith flirt with Feng in front of her and being unable to do anything about it.

Fire Moth headquarters, Mobius's laboratory.

"Of course, sometimes being too honest isn't a good thing," Vill-V said with a shrug.

"Heh... I don't care about Hua, it's just Kevin." Mobius's face was very unpleasant. "If it weren't for the fact that Mei is his girlfriend and Yu Feng is also close to him, he would have been on my dissection table long ago."

"Kevin's how it is," Vill-V said, spreading her hands. "So, what are your thoughts on Yu Feng's deductions about Lilith?"

"That makes sense, but before that, Vill-V, shouldn't you first explain why you planted a listening device on Yu Feng?"

"He tacitly approved anyway, didn't he?" Vill-V had a "how come you can't do it?" look on her face.

Mobius paused for a moment, then retorted, "Anyway, you can only listen to it."

Vill-V: "..."

That hurts.
