Kevin

Three days later...

"I really don't know if your mother was so engrossed in her experiments that she went crazy, leaving such a small child here to wait for his father... Aren't you afraid something might happen to you..."

Xu Yanwu gently bumped his forehead against the cradle, trying to lull the little white fluffball to sleep. He couldn't stop muttering, "I wonder why that brat Kevin isn't back yet... I've been taking care of you for three days... Oh my! You pooped again!"

Hearing the little white fluffball's gurgling sounds of excretion, Xu Yanwu's mouth twitched again. "This kid really knows how to eat and poop. Truly worthy of the Kaslana family's excellent genes..."

As he said this, Xu Yanwu levitated the little white fluffball into the air and commanded the diaper on it to jump off by itself into the trash can. A towel flew over to clean the fluffball, and then a brand-new diaper appeared on its bottom.

"Why do I have to use the power of Wish Fulfillment to take care of a baby..."

After Xu Yanwu gently covered the little white fluffball with a blanket, he controlled his head to float to the side of the fluffball's pillow and lie down, his mind wandering again.

"Where did the Herrscher of the End throw my body... I can still feel my body is still there... But wishing is too energy-consuming, I can't summon it back..."

Xu Yanwu's [Wish Fulfillment] ability wasn't without its limitations. Xu Yanwu had spent three days discovering that his ability could now at most change a baby's diaper...

This ability consumed energy...

Xu Yanwu had also tried to fulfill bigger wishes, like regenerating a body for himself. The moment he started, he almost ended up with a dried-up rabbit head.

It was too damn energy-draining... It'll make you impotent...

The reason he could push back the Herrscher of the End back then was by absorbing the energy from the spear. Didn't ordinary matter bind Xu Yanwu right after the Herrscher of the End?

And the energy Xu Yanwu had painstakingly accumulated over tens of thousands of years was siphoned off by these humans, taking more than half of it...

Now, Xu Yanwu could be said to be penniless... He could only sustain himself by drawing a tiny bit of Honkai Energy from the air...

Speaking of which... I should probably preserve MIE's corpse... Kevin hasn't arrived yet... I can't let his wife's body go bad, can I...

Putting aside the fact that Xu Yanwu and the little white fluffball were locked in this laboratory and couldn't get out.

At least he had listened to Kevin's nagging for so long while he was asleep, so helping him out wasn't entirely out of the question...

"MIE! MIE!"

The shouts from outside the laboratory interrupted Xu Yanwu's thoughts, startling him. "Is that Kevin's voice? He's back?"

"Damn it, what should I do? Hide? Or meet him?"

Xu Yanwu was still hesitating, slowly floating towards the door. He then heard Kevin's roar from the other side of the door: "Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire!"

"Boom—!"

"You bastard, Kevin, you scoundrel..."

Xu Yanwu was sent flying by the blast wave from the door being blown open, splattering against the wall and turning into a pulp.

"MIE!"

The white-haired, blue-eyed warrior rushed in and saw MIE lying on the ground.

[Xu Yanwu: I only have my head left, and I can't move MIE... I don't have enough energy either...]

By the time Xu Yanwu's skull had reformed, he saw Kevin, with a look of despair, pointing the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire at his own head.

"Damn it, put down the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire!"

Xu Yanwu no longer had to consider whether to meet Kevin. Kevin was about to commit suicide.

Damn it, you haven't even met your little white fluffball yet! What the hell are you dying for!

Hiss—

Xu Yanwu's hair visibly turned gray and white. At the same time, the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire in Kevin's hand was pressed fiercely to the ground. Even with Kevin's terrifying strength after fusing with the Emperor-class Honkai Beast [Parvati], he couldn't lift the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire from the ground.

"Damn it all..."

Xu Yanwu's words were now weak and feeble. Kevin couldn't die here; he had to bear the beginning of humanity's next civilization.

"Who's there!"

Kevin scanned his surroundings with piercing eyes, then... ignored Xu Yanwu, who had been smashed against the wall.

"Damn it! Kevin, you blind brat? I'm right here! Where are you looking?!"

Xu Yanwu angrily flew up and headbutted Kevin in the face with a rocket-like charge.

After the two froze in an awkward pose for a second...

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, my nose!"

"So cold, so cold, so cold, damn, why are you so cold!"

Kevin rolled back and forth on the ground, while Xu Yanwu... rolled like a soccer ball.

"Moo?"

The little white fluffball curiously poked its little head out of the cradle. Seeing the two unreliable adults rolling on the ground, it actually clapped its hands and laughed.

"Huh?"

Kevin froze upon hearing the little white fluffball's laughter. He forgot about his nose and scrambled to his feet. "The child?"

"That's the child created from your and MIE's genes..."

Xu Yanwu said weakly from the ground, "Otherwise, do you think I would have stopped you from committing suicide? It's all for the sake of this little white fluffball."

"Are you... the [Head of the War Gods]?" Kevin was drawn by Xu Yanwu's voice and gasped, "You're awake?"

"What Head of the War Gods, that has nothing to do with me."

Xu Yanwu tried to wave his hand, but realizing he only had a head, he said dejectedly, "I'm just an ordinary person who was beheaded by the Herrscher of the End, ah, the [Last Herrscher] as you call it... It just so happens I can't die, that's all."

"You..."

Kevin reached out to pick Xu Yanwu up from the ground, but Xu Yanwu yelled back, "Get away! Don't touch me! Do you know how cold you are?!"

"This..."

"I'll do it myself!"

Xu Yanwu wobbled into the air from the ground and landed next to the small white ball, who excitedly hugged him. "Goo!"

"Alright, sit down. I have some things to discuss with you."

Xu Yanwu, with the small white ball pulling on his face, said sternly to Kevin.

"Uh... [Head of the War Gods]... you..."

"I already told you I'm not the Head of the War Gods! Why are you guys giving me names?!" As soon as Xu Yanwu finished yelling, the small white ball slapped him in the eye. "Ah! Small white ball, let go! Stop pulling my hair!"

Seeing this, Kevin silently thought to himself: Kid, you did great...
