Su's Exit, and a Game of Wits With the Gods.
"Sue, I never expected you to be interested in Kevin. I really didn't realize it. But don't worry, I'm definitely on your side."
Little Knowledge's words left Su speechless with despair.
The moment those words were spoken, Mei's eyes no longer showed wariness, but were filled with murderous intent.
"Alright, that's settled. Tomorrow, the old man and I will go back to the courtyard. We don't need to prepare too much, just keep it simple. There's no need to hold any celebration for us."
Little Knowledge emphasized this point before hanging up the phone.
Su was dumbfounded.
No one believes in themselves now.
"That was Durandal's choice, not mine. I chose to be sealed at the bottom of the Sea of Quanta with Kevin."
Su's explanation was weak and unconvincing.
Because Durandal experiences Su's memories and personality.
"So that's what you were planning."
Kevin's eyes held a wisdom that seemed to see through everything.
Su was so angry she almost vomited blood.
Aside from the Golden Courtyard, at the headquarters far away in Central Europe, Durandal blushed deeply under the teasing gazes of her team members. She hadn't expected her character in the story to be so bold.
"Alright, alright, let's get back to work."
Yarvete spoke first.
If they continued watching like this, they had no doubt that Durandal would faint from embarrassment.
437
Chapter 437 Su's Departure, A Game of Chess with the Gods.
Su was still pondering why Durandal would make such a choice when she knew the Stigmata Project would come at a huge cost.
Unaware that Durandal had already awakened from the illusion, Su almost vomited up the acid in her stomach when she put her knees on her knees.
Durandal stretched and praised Sue's mental attack, saying that even though she had been influenced by Otto's beliefs, she had still fallen for it.
During the third illusionary trial, Su wavered, allowing Durandal to seize the opportunity to regain her senses.
Durandal's words finally gave Sue a chance to explain.
"You see, it's because Durandal realized she was in her own illusion that she made this choice; it has absolutely nothing to do with me."
Su pointed at the television.
The expression on their faces was, "Look, look!"
Unfortunately, as Su wished, no one turned to look at the television; instead, they watched Su quietly.
They wondered if they had gone too far, pushing Su to this point.
"Haha... Su, of course we believe you."
Elysia gave an awkward laugh.
But Su interpreted these words as, "We never believed you; we only believed you because you seemed a bit delusional."
Su was about to go crazy.
It's abnormal to ask a person with a normal sexual orientation to prove that they are normal!
The more pitiful Su Yue appeared, the more sorrowful people felt towards her.
Durandal pulled Su up. In the illusion, she had seen Su's true thoughts and realized that they were not enemies. As for the knee strike just now, it was just the price Su paid for forcing himself to participate in the trial.
"By the way, about the third trial..."
Sue's words, "The fate of this generation should be decided by the people of this era themselves," remained fresh in Durandal's memory, prompting her to bring them up again. This was the meaning Sue wanted to convey.
If Durandal made the same choice as her, then she would be nothing more than a puppet. Even if there really were gods who claimed to be able to plan everything, she would only take it as advice and leave the decision to herself.
"At least in my view, this is a responsibility that we, as human beings, must shoulder."
Having said that, Durandal pointed at Su and said righteously.
"Simply put—your life is too complicated, you pioneer!"
Su was silent for a moment, then laughed out loud.
Even though he was outmaneuvered, Su was not angry at all. On the contrary, he was very happy because this generation of humans did not need to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors. They were able to forge a new path.
Su mocked herself inwardly. She had said that she would leave the fate of this generation to the choice of this generation of people, but she still presumptuously equated her own position with their situation.
Having lost his way over the long course of time, perhaps he is the one who truly needs to be tested.
"You are indeed the only one worthy of my entrusting the Second Divine Key to."
Countless green leaves once again enveloped Durandal.
"But before that, please allow me to give you one more gift."
"So Su made Durandal experience her past to see if she would make a different choice. Now it seems that Durandal has perfectly passed Su's test."
Sue's purpose was only explained to the audience at the end.
Reverse.
Su was never a bad person from the beginning, and he never intended to seal Durandal in the World Cannon and then create a puppet to go out.
What he wanted to do was actually very simple.
The point was to make Durandal understand that the fate of this generation should be chosen by the people of this generation themselves. Sue placed the choice in front of Durandal precisely to see her reaction and whether she was worthy of entrusting the matter to her.
"I knew it! How could Su be a villain? There must be a mistake."
Elysia once again offered her hindsight advice.
He acted like a Monday morning quarterback.
"Sister Elysia, when did you say that?"
Pardo the Kitty is sabotaging things again.
This time, Elysia wouldn't let it go, and gave Pardo a good rub.
Pardo, with her hair in a mess, was crying.
"Su is giving Durandal a cheat code, but that's normal, since as the strongest being in the current civilization, the one she has to face is Kevin."
Vill-V nodded.
"Perhaps it was Su who gave Durandal a power boost, which is why she was able to fight Kevin in the main storyline. Who knows?"
Mei smiled.
Kevin is too strong. In this situation, there are only two possibilities: either he will be used as experience points by the main characters before they face the final boss, or he will be redeemed and sacrifice himself to protect the main characters.
Neither of these outcomes would be a good ending for Kevin. To die in battle and witness the current civilization's ability to contend with the Finality would be Kevin's true destiny.
"Su's words sound familiar..."
Judging from Sakura's years of watching historical dramas, the senior who said this would most likely sacrifice himself in the process of giving the junior a power boost, and wouldn't survive even if he passed on his skills.
"No wonder we don't see Su in the main storyline, but the Second Divine Key that Su controls is in the hands of Schicksal."
Sakura nodded, having guessed most of it.
"Perhaps when Kevin learned that the Second Divine Key was in Otto's hands, he already understood that his dearest friend had long since..."
Kosma is a man who, when he speaks, is astonishing.
Everyone seemed to feel the pain in Kevin's heart beneath his cold mask, and they all fell silent.
Kosma remained even more silent.
He didn't intend to break down other people's psychological defenses, but every time he spoke unconsciously, it was a breakthrough that was fully unleashed.
In the final episode, the scene shifts to Schicksal Headquarters, where Durandal, clad in brand-new armor, returns from the Second Divine Key, looking bewildered at the vigilant Valkyrie squad.
Rita rushed forward and hugged him tightly, as if afraid that if she let go, Durandal would be sucked into the Second Divine Key again.
Otto also came over.
Looking at Durandal's new armor, he inquired about the Second Divine Key.
In the next scene, Su uses the Sumeru Mustard Seed to stabilize the unstable World Bubble inside Durandal's body. From then on, her strength has reached a new level, and she can easily leave using the power of the World Bubble inside her body.
Durandal couldn't help but ask Su where she was going.
Sue stated that he would sink into the Sea of Quanta along with this World Bubble, Ganges Project was complete and he had found the only answer.
In the past 1,500 years, in order to accelerate the observation of parallel worlds, Su's body had long since deteriorated. In the end, he met Durandal, which was truly fortunate.
Su took out a yellowish leaf containing information about a parallel world and asked Durandal to give it to Otto. This information would help them in the battle against the Honkai.
"I understand, I will give him your information."
"Well then, goodbye."
"This armor..."
Elysia narrowed her eyes.
Everyone thought she was about to utter something amazing.
"So cool! It looks amazing on Durandal!"
Elysia's eyes were shining. If that look were on a man, he would definitely look like a pervert, but on this boss, it was surprisingly harmonious.
"Su is actually going to give information to Otto? You're aiding the enemy!"
Kevin pointed at Sue, his fingers trembling.
Otto, currently the number one villain in Honkai, is responsible for most of the tragic experiences of the protagonist Kiana.
"I've already said that the fate of this generation depends on the choices made by humanity itself. Although Otto is the villain in the main group, he has indeed made indelible contributions to the fight against the Honkai. I definitely need to pass on the information to this 'leader of humanity'."
Su waved her hand.
The character in the story knows nothing. He's been a shut-in for 1500 years, and all he does is observe other worlds. To put it nicely, he observes the world; to put it bluntly, he looks at beautiful women.
He wanted to complain just from watching Durandal grow up.
"Besides Otto, who else could we entrust it to? At that time, there was internal power struggle within Anti-Entropy, and the leader, Welt, was hiding in a girls' school as a history teacher. We couldn't possibly entrust it to Theresa, could we?"
Su asked in return.
"Someone who drinks bitter melon juice every day?"
"Who in their right mind would drink bitter melon juice?"
Yaqing couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, do you want some?
Kevin asked.
"I don't want to drink, but do you?"
"Who would believe that drinking bitter melon juice can increase height?"
"If you're thinking about growing taller, is it even possible to grow taller?"
Yaqing and Kevin clinked their cans of ice-cold cola together.
"What's the use? Hahahaha." ×2.
The two burst into laughter in unison. If Theresa were there, she would probably be so angry that she would punch their knees hard with her little fists.
Durandal took out the leaf Su had given her and handed it to Otto. The moment Otto took the leaf, Su's voice seemed to appear in his ears.
"As God said, the answer you seek lies at the other end of the Imaginary Tree. To get there, you must find the complete Second Divine Key."
Otto was stunned.
I was surprised to learn that someone else knew about the so-called God of Honkai.
Rita shouted, drawing everyone's attention. The purple starry sky opened by the Second Divine Key had lost its original star, replaced by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of stars.
This starry sky, composed of parallel worlds, holds infinite possibilities.
