"You old fogey, you're so long-winded!"

Little Knowledge covered his ears.

Theresa nodded and said, "My niece has really grown up. If it were before, she would definitely have said the same thing as Little Knowledge, and wouldn't have left no matter what we said."

The courage required to escape or to confront is actually not much different.

Kiana's escape will leave her tormented by the guilt of abandoning her companions.

"Sigh! Luckily I know this is just a story my stinky uncle made up, otherwise I would feel sorry for my counterpart in another timeline." Kiana sighed.

Bronya joked, "Kiana, what if we're just another World Bubble? You really did experience so much suffering in another parallel universe."

"Bronya! Don't talk about such terrifying things!"

Chapter 234 Snake Head Against Spear Tip

"Hua, you've changed."

The scene between the two changed; it was no longer a ruined city filled with sand and dust, but a sea with blue skies and white clouds—an illusion created by Feather of the Wind.

"Feather of the Wind ...you know, it can't interfere with my senses."

Fu Hua wasn't trying to interfere with Kevin's senses, but rather to show him everything she had experienced.

Five phantom images from different periods of the past appeared behind Fu Hua, gradually dissipating and turning into golden light.

In the light, she reached out her hand to Kevin.

"No wonder she's the class monitor who's lived for 50,000 years, she's experienced so much." Kiana exclaimed, unaware that her words had inadvertently hurt Fu Hua.

Although Fu Hua has a rigid personality, she is still a girl in her twenties and is just as concerned about her age as any other girl. Therefore, she finds the 50,000-year time limit in the setting extremely painful.

The camera pans to the other side, where Kiana, though she has successfully escaped the city ruins, is filled with guilt and pain. She then unleashes her anger and resentment through her fists, venting it on World Serpent's combat mech.

But what happens after you vent?

In her view, she was like a weak escapist, continuing down a path of confusion.

Hearing Kiana's unwilling screams on the screen, the audience felt a mix of emotions. Not long ago, she was an innocent and naive girl in the movie, but now she has become like this.

The root cause of everything.

Otto Apocalypse.

Meanwhile, Durandal received a report from her team members that she had discovered Kiana. Following Otto's orders, she instructed her team members to let Kiana leave.

"... but I didn't have time to tell her something—"

"Basa fish has no intramuscular bones, so there's no need to remove the bones."

"Huh, basa fish doesn't have bones? I always thought only salmon didn't have bones," Ling said in surprise.

"Ling, actually salmon isn't boneless; it's just that the salmon you can buy in the market has already had its bones removed," Pardo reminded her.

"Eh! Is that so?"

As Durandal effortlessly defeated World Serpent's mech, the duel in the Feather of the Wind Space also came to a conclusion. Fu Hua's figure flickered in and out of existence, ultimately leaving only a feather in Kevin's palm.

"I will wake you after everything is over. Until then, sleep peacefully."

When Fu Hua's figure disappeared, the audience's hearts jumped into their throats, but they were relieved after hearing Kevin's words.

"Kevin ..." Fu Hua didn't know how to say it.

"He wasn't that obsessed, at least he didn't kill his former comrades-in-arms like he would." Little Knowledge nodded.

Durandal followed closely behind and arrived at the battlefield.

They had barely exchanged two words when a fight broke out.

Beyond the ruins, the sea was shrouded in dust, and in an instant, a cold current spread rapidly, freezing the sea surface into a vast ice field.

This sudden anomaly signifies that the strongest warrior of the Previous Era will clash with the strongest warrior of the current civilization.

This has generated immense anticipation among all viewers.

"Popcorn! Popcorn!"

Elysia pulled out a large bucket of popcorn from somewhere.

Everyone in the screening room held their breath.

Looking forward to the upcoming visual feast.

Kevin stood atop the frozen waves, his eyes wide open, coldly watching Durandal approach. A chilling wind howled as he stretched out his hand, and countless sharp spikes sprouted from the ground.

Durandal charged at Kevin, punching the protective shield created by Honkai energy, but unexpectedly, she was thrown back. After regaining her balance, she charged at Kevin again.

This time, the protective shield was breached.

He engaged in close combat with Kevin.

Durandal used the momentum to leap high into the air, revealing a huge figure behind her. A massive blade swung its hand, and Kevin used his hands to block it, landing heavily on the ground.

The sky turned black in an instant. Durandal raised her hands to gather power, and red-purple energy gradually condensed. The huge spear tip pierced the sky and headed towards Kevin.

Golden light condensed in Kevin's palm, forming several black objects. After being thrown, these objects collided with the tip of the gun, gradually growing larger and blocking the extremely powerful attack.

After the violent explosion,

The two faced off in the air, their two forces colliding with a deafening roar, like a surging, turbulent wave, only the stronger one could completely engulf the other.

But at this critical moment, a figure strolled out.

"Durandal, stop."

Durandal was somewhat puzzled when she saw Otto appear.

Otto looked at Kevin.

"Leader of the World Serpent, you have fully demonstrated your power."

"In that case, I must return the courtesy."

"I am Otto Apocalypse, the current Bishop of Schicksal."

The Schicksal Destiny Conglomerate is never short of funds, so Yaqing has extremely high requirements for this fight scene, which must showcase both Kevin's strength and Durandal bearing.

When Cheng Lixue heard this request, she was stunned and almost collapsed, saying that whoever wanted to do it could do it.

"Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Kevin couldn't hide his excitement. He had only read the script and had never seen this scene before. It was the first time he had seen this amazing scene on screen, and he was so excited that he almost fainted.

Kevin, the most powerful warrior of the Previous Era and the one who once brought down the Finality Herrscher, did not disappoint the audience; it was Durandal who was unexpected.

It's incredible that Durandal is only a teenager, could fight Kevin to a standstill. Even if she had been cultivating since birth, it would be impossible unless she had cheated.

"Why do I have a feeling Kevin went easy on us?" Su hesitated for a moment before saying.

"They didn't go all out, did they?" Sakura said. "Kevin didn't use the Judgement of Shamash, Durandal didn't seem to use the Abyss Flower either. This is probably just a test."

"This is just a test?" Hen's eyes widened.

Just as the audience was watching this incredibly exciting scene and speculating about who would win, Otto suddenly appeared and interrupted the battle, leaving them completely bewildered.

"Otto? What's he doing here all of a sudden? Isn't he afraid Kevin will tear him to pieces?"

Everyone had this question in their minds when Otto appeared.

But then he felt it was reasonable; since others had come to his doorstep, it would be a bit unreasonable for him, the bishop, not to step in.

"Who cares what they want to do? I'm having a great time." Kevin looked completely satisfied.

Unexpectedly, this provoked public outrage.

However, the anger Kevin had incurred led the men to turn their attention to Yaqing.

Hen gave him a knowing look.

Although Kosma's expression remained calm, his eyes were filled with longing.

Su opened her eyes, her red pupils looking at Yaqing.

Brother Jie?

Yaqing could only tell from Kalpas's turning neck that he was looking at her.

A sense of helplessness.

He had anticipated that Kevin's appearance would cause resentment among the crowd, so...

Chapter 235 Bonus Mei: What are your conditions? / Kevin: You

The scene shifts to a desert, where a weary and disheveled Kiana suddenly remembers Mei and an idea arises in her mind: to return to the place where their destiny began, the place where they first met.

Changkong City.

The camera zooms out, and in the biting wind, Raven, clad in a black combat suit, lies perched on a rock, her sniper rifle already set up, Kiana's figure appearing in the scope.

The movie ended there, and everyone realized that several hours had passed.

"Ugh, how could it break here?!"

Pardo couldn't stand it.

She was so curious about what would happen next. What would happen to Kiana after she returned to Changkong City? Would she run into Mei? Why did Mei and Kiana fight in that official video that was only halfway through airing?

Pardo felt like a kitten scratching at a wall.

Most people share the same curiosity as Pardo. While the audience might only feel curiosity and anticipation, it was different in the screening room. Everyone in the Golden Courtyard was looking at Yaqing.

"Yaqing ~, mine..."

Before Elysia could finish speaking, Yaqing gestured to interrupt her, stood up, and said, "I have to go to the premiere. You guys continue watching the post-credits scene."

Yaqing left without looking back, as if some monstrous beast was behind her.

Kiana and her three friends, having just completed their first project with the company, couldn't wait to follow Shub and the others to various screening rooms for the premiere ceremonies.

The subtitles on the screen began to scroll.

The exciting moment has arrived again.

Theresa and everyone who knew the inside story were very curious about whose name Yaqing would write in the editor's seat this time.

After the credits finished rolling, the names of the director and behind-the-scenes staff were revealed. The director was undoubtedly Yaqing, and the screenwriter's name was clearly written as: Yaqing Schariac.

Theresa was somewhat surprised.

She had assumed that, in order, it would be Welt Young.

But, to my surprise, he actually wrote his own name on it.

Yaqing had her own judgment.

Although this movie contains some harsh elements, it's not enough to make viewers grit their teeth in hatred. The real highlight is the separation in the next movie.

That's the real blame Welt Young should bear.

Honkai V: When Thunder Rises Through the Sky

As for Otto?

In Yaqing's opinion, the president is already hated by the audience to the core, so what's a little more? The president is definitely willing to become kindling to ignite the flame of the younger generation, Yaqing Schariac thought to herself.

What's the Easter egg?

Kevin stared at the screen, eager to know what would happen after "himself" met Otto: would he kill him on the spot, take him under his control, or cooperate to fight the Honkai?

In a dimly lit square, Mei looked at the newcomer with surprise. It was Kevin Kaslana, whose face was still as cold as ice, as if the air itself had turned cold because of his arrival.

"Who are you...?"

"Kevin Kaslana, leader of the World Serpent." Kevin's tone was calm, yet a hint of sadness lingered in his seemingly empty eyes.
