"What?! You mean Kevin's next move will be..."

Elysia's eyes widened.

"I didn't say anything."

Yaqing quickly removed all traces of herself.

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Yaqing's deceptive demeanor, coupled with her expression, seemed to say, "You guessed right, but I can't tell you."

Kevin is already ridiculously strong. If he were to become the Herrscher of the End, it would be a miracle that this civilization was not destroyed and that there is even Post-Honkai Odyssey.

Star of Eden and Abyss Flower were easily dealt with by Kevin. Su was forced to use the Sumeru Mustard Seed to distort space, but it was no match for the sword edge of the Judgement of Shamash.

The force of the raging fire sent Su flying.

Su coughed up a mouthful of blood. He knew he was no match for Kevin, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly.

Kevin didn't finish her off. Instead, he looked at Sue with a cold expression and a chilling tone. Even though his hands were stained with blood, he was the one who had to bear the guilt.

Su hurriedly retorted that the pioneers did not have the right to act recklessly in the current civilization. Their Previous Era had long since perished, and even if the Stigmata Project succeeded, it could not be considered a continuation of civilization; it was merely a matter of prolonging its existence.

Kevin remained unmoved; if he were to witness the tragedy of modern civilization repeat itself, then the significance of being a pioneer would be lost.

Su was getting anxious; he was really getting anxious.

He and Kevin viewed the significance of the Forerunners in a completely different way. The Forerunners should treat this generation of humans as equals and work with them to find a way to fight the Honkai, rather than arbitrarily deciding their fate like gods.

"The fate of this generation should be decided by the people of this generation themselves."

Hearing Sue's roar, Kevin said coldly that he already knew the answer 50,000 years ago.

"No matter the cost, humanity must defeat the Honkai."

It was less of a duel and more of a clash of ideologies.

Sue stood on the side of opposition, placing his hopes on the present generation of humans and considering himself superior. He believed that the so-called pioneers were merely guiding human civilization, not making choices for them.

Kevin stood on the side of support. In his eyes, the current civilization could not surpass the Previous Era and would only repeat the same mistakes. What he had to do was lead the current civilization to Honkai the Honkai, no matter what the cost.

"Neither of them could convince the other..."

Mei stared blankly at the television, lost in thought.

"Sigh, there's no way to say who's right and who's wrong. Kevin participated in the Finality battle on the moon and witnessed the terror of the ultimate Herrscher, so he insisted on carrying out the Stigmata Project. Su stayed on Earth, and being a doctor himself, he couldn't tolerate the Stigmata Project."

Vill-V sighed.

This is a contradiction in itself, and the two cannot convince each other, so the conflict will only get bigger and bigger.

"In the end, we still have to fight..."

Elysia didn't want to see the people in the Golden Courtyard fighting each other, even in a fictional storyline.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Kevin, Su used the method Mei had given him to execute the Observer Project and activate the first rated power horizon inversion of the Second Divine Key.

From the moment Kevin stepped into this World Bubble, the first rated power was activated, and the world bubble they were in would continue to sink to the bottom of the Sea of Quanta, never to return to reality.

Kevin could sense that the passage to the Sea of Quanta was not fully open. If Second Divine Key's plan could be ruined before that, Su's plan would fail.

Kevin decided to Zero-Th Order Power {Shamash Unleashed}.

To his surprise, Su actually stood in front of the Second Divine Key.

"Even if it only buys a little bit of time to open the passage, even if it costs me my life—"

"Broken!"

The audience was all worried about Su.

They had witnessed the power of the Heavenly Fire: Unleashed. Even the Herrscher of the End would be rendered inoperable for 12 hours after taking that sword strike, let alone Su. He would probably be burned to a crisp, leaving no trace of his body.

Amidst everyone's worried gazes, the screen went black, and an ice crystal slowly fell from it.

When Su opened his eyes, the Judgement of Shamash, which had been burning fiercely, was now frozen.

In his attempt to forcibly stop the Heavenly Fire: Unleashed and to freeze the Judgement of Shamash, Kevin's body suffered considerable damage, with one hand and half of his face transforming into the appearance of Honkai Beasts.

Just when Sue thought it was all over and they were both going to sink to the bottom of the Sea of Quanta together, Kevin grabbed Sue by the collar and threw her away violently.

This unexpected turn of events left Su stunned.

Kevin kept his head down.

"Su, leave here and continue with your [Ganges Project]."

"I knew that even if Kevin was obsessed, he wouldn't kill his former best friend."

Elysia clapped her hands and smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Sister Elysia, when did you say that?"

Pardo was puzzled.

She thought she was just sleepy and had forgotten.

Unexpectedly, Elysia tapped her chin with her finger, smiling radiantly.

"What I said in my heart."

Pardo forcefully suppressed her overwhelming urge to complain.

"Boss Kevin, you really did choose to be sealed away voluntarily."

Pardo shifted her attention to the other side.

"That's true. If Kevin doesn't want to be sealed away, Sue wouldn't be able to forcibly seal Kevin away with her abilities. May, your plan didn't take that into account."

In response to Vill-V's teasing, Mei simply smiled and said, "Vill-V, perhaps I already expected this, otherwise I wouldn't have given this task to Su instead of Hua."

Vill-V was taken aback, but after a moment's thought, she realized that what Mei said made sense.

When Su was thrown out of the World Bubble, she vaguely saw her familiar best friend again.

Kevin's sunny smile flashed briefly on the screen.

Immediately, memories flashed through Su's mind. It was during her school days. Kevin was holding a basketball, leaning against the table, looking at her. His face wasn't cold like it was now; instead, it had an innocent smile.

When Su awoke, the Sumeru Mustard Seed had already sunk to the bottom of the Sea of Quanta. All he could do was fulfill Kevin's last request.

Find a way to resolve the Honkai within the remaining 1500 years.

He locked himself inside the Second Divine Key, observing countless parallel worlds; this was... his atonement.

"What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it? Alas."

Mobius clicked his tongue, feigning regret.

Mei's smile froze instantly, and the veins on her fair forehead bulged.

This part of the story can be said to be a symbol of the friendship between Su and Kevin. It's as if she can already see that after this web series, the CP that many fans shipped Honkai: Kevin and Su.

She has always believed in the power of yaoi fans.

"This is what a true friend is like."

Kosma sighed.

This time, he didn't silence everyone with a single sentence, because they were also amazed by Kevin and Sue's "friendship," which could indeed be called that of close friends.

"So Su sealed himself in the Divine Key for 1500 years, what a pity..."

"Sister Ying, what's a pity?"

Pardo was very puzzled.

"If Kevin and Sue knew that their good friend Hua, the pioneer who passed on the torch of human civilization, was killed by those few bastards who murdered their master... would Kevin punish them with a few Heavenly Fires?"

Sakura was smiling, but her eyes were cold.

Pardo shivered.

"Hmph, they are not worthy of being killed by heavenly fire."

Kalpas snorted coldly.

"To crush these guys with my bare hands would be too easy for them. How can I use heavenly fire to make them die without pain?"

Behind Kalpas's sunglasses, his eyes were both cold and warm.

It was like a burning rage, yet also like a chilling murderous intent.

Su was still squatting in front of Durandal.

He had finished telling his story, and he wanted to see what choice Durandal would make, and whether she would make the same decision as him.

The scene shifts to a familiar memory, only now both have been replaced by people: Kevin has become Rita, and Sue has become Durandal —the same progression of events.

However, just as she was about to use the Second Divine Key to seal it, Durandal made a completely different choice from Su. She grabbed Rita's hand, wanting to bear this sin with Rita.

"Etc..."

Upon seeing this, Su opened her eyes in surprise.

Durandal spoke as if it were sweet nothings, and hugged Rita tightly. Even Rita didn't react in time, giving Durandal a chance to think it over, as this was a decision that concerned the fate of humanity.

"I will never let you bear all of this alone again."

Durandal said firmly.

"Oh~~"

Sakura's eyes changed; they became the kind of eyes a fujoshi (a female fan of male-male romance) would have.

Rita is Kevin, and Sue is Durandal. It's just that now Durandal is holding Rita and choosing to share the burden with her.

Isn't this a solution... Bullshit, if Kevin hadn't been sealed away, human civilization wouldn't have even lasted until the main characters appeared, since the so-called civilization only had a few people left.

"Su, did you consider solving this problem back then?"

Sakura smiled faintly, like a fox.

"How is this possible?!"

Sue's reaction was so great that it even woke up the bell.

"Our ideologies clash, so I will definitely choose to be sealed away with him. I will absolutely not agree to the development of the Stigmata Project!"

"Just say it, why are you in such a hurry?"

Sakura patted Rin's back and coaxed her back to sleep again, saying with dissatisfaction.

"But the problem is, Durandal experienced your memories and has the same personality as you, yet she made a different choice. Did you actually think about it back then...?"

Before Elysia could finish speaking, Su interrupted her.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The usually mild-mannered Sue actually broke down.

This only fueled suspicion in the eyes of others.

If nothing's wrong, then your strong reaction means something must be wrong.

"Su, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, but it's okay, I won't discriminate against you, we're still good brothers."

Kevin said seriously.

Su Meng turned around and saw Kevin's serious expression and the deep wariness in Mei's eyes, and he was stunned.

"I..."

With a lump in her throat, Su seemed unable to speak, completely unable to defend herself.

In his haste, he tried to grab Yaqing's arm, but was interrupted by Mobius.

Mobius's left eye reads "warning," and his right eye reads "gay."

The release of a web series caused Su's reputation to be severely damaged in the Golden Courtyard.

"I..."

Su, who is usually mild-mannered, wanted to curse, but found that she didn't know how at all. The anger was stuck in her chest and she couldn't vent it.

Just then, the phone rang.

Su took out her phone and saw that it was Little Knowledge calling. She answered it instinctively.

Little Knowledge's carefree voice came from the phone.
