Chapter 231

Her beautiful voice was already impressive enough without any accompaniment, and her top-notch singing skills could immerse listeners in the scene depicted in the lyrics in just a few seconds. More importantly, under Eden's power, Kevin felt as if his mental pain had been soothed, and the burning sensation had subsided considerably.

Perhaps, with the power of his singing to sustain him, he would be able to persevere for longer.

A flood of thoughts flashed through Kevin's mind, but left little trace. Kevin turned his gaze to the Herrscher of the End, only to find that she was also looking at him at that moment.

The battle was triggered in that instant.

The first to react was the Herrscher of the End. She didn't move her body, but boundless flames erupted from her body, transforming into a coiling fire serpent that instantly wrapped around Kevin.

It wasn't a fire serpent in the literal sense, but rather a manifestation of the Seventh Herrscher authority. The moment the fire serpent entangled him, Kevin felt the energy within his body instantly become volatile, even causing his vision to blur for a moment, clearly on the verge of losing control.

Clearly, the Herrscher of the End has directly identified Kevin's current weakness—when subjected to power beyond his limits, Kevin's control over that power decreases.

However, this does not mean that the Herrscher of the End can completely suppress Kevin with just this one move.

After countless trials and tribulations, Kevin's will had become incredibly strong. The power of the Seventh Herrscher was indeed formidable, but his power was still under his control.

Therefore, in just a brief moment, Kevin broke free from the fire serpent's restraints. He took a heavy step forward and then delivered a simple, unadorned straight punch to the Herrscher of the End's face.

This time, the Herrscher of the End did not attempt to defend, but instead suddenly moved backward a short distance to dodge Kevin's attack.

Clearly, after taking a direct hit from Kalpas's straight punch, the Herrscher of the End has begun to take their attacks seriously.

Meanwhile, the phantom of Kalpas attacked again—just now, after he struck the Herrscher of the End, he was imprisoned by layers of ice cages, and the power of the Fifth Herrscher almost extinguished his life along with his aura.

Unfortunately, Kalpas's rage was not so easily quelled; he would not fall easily before killing the Herrscher of the End.

As Kalpas's emotions gradually intensified, with the aid of Eden's abilities, the enormous phantom he controlled actually became clearer than before.

If this continues, perhaps he can achieve the same results as Kevin in his own way.

Kevin naturally noticed this as well, and took the lead in chasing after her before Kalpas could attack. However, the Herrscher of the End had already taken advantage of this gap to regroup and launch her attack again.

This time it's not just the release of a single power, but a magnificent torrent of energy!

Lightning, flames, frost, and surging power manifested at this moment, transforming into an unreserved impact that spread outwards. Neither Kevin nor Kalpas could maintain their forward momentum under such an offensive. They had to exert all their strength to pin themselves to the spot just to resist being forced back.

But amidst this torrent, a dark figure was rushing toward the Herrscher of the End, like a shark's dorsal fin bursting out of the sea, announcing its arrival.

Those were Cosmo and Desdrobia, but they looked completely different from before.

Its original massive body, which was sixty meters tall, now seemed to have been compressed, transforming into a twenty-meter-tall dragon-shaped monster. On its lower back, there was a pair of organs that looked like wings, which were now folded up and pressed tightly against its sides, turning into a pair of energy jets that provided it with propulsion.

His thick, tough scales and streamlined physique allow him to move freely amidst such an exaggerated torrent of energy. The dual drive of energy jets and telekinesis grants him extreme linear speed. Therefore, while Kalpas and Kevin are both being defeated by the multiple powers of the Herrscher of the End, only he can cleave through everything in front of him like a giant axe, heading straight for the Herrscher of the End.

Even before Kevin and the others could clearly see the exact appearance of that body, Cosmo had already transformed into a streak of black light, decisively breaking through the barrier of the power and striking the body of the Herrscher of the End.

Unfortunately, at the last moment, the Herrscher of the End responded in time. A strange repulsive force expanded from her body, forcibly deflecting the direction of the Cosmo, so that the serrated exoskeleton on both sides of his head could only graz the Herrscher of the End's body.

Even so, the clothes around the Herrscher of the End's waist were torn open with a long gash, and the skin underneath was also cut open, revealing the grayish-white, dry "flesh and blood" inside.

Although it was just a minor wound, which would even heal slowly under the power of the Herrscher of the End in the next second, it was the greatest achievement that Kevin and the others had made since the start of the operation.

"How about it? Daisy and I have evolved beyond our limits!"

Cosmo's will resonated within the spiritual link, overflowing with pride and joy. "We are now complete dragons! Our name is 'Amaterasu'!"

"Stop reading it aloud! And do you really want to use this name?"

Desdrobia's voice was filled with embarrassment, one could even imagine her shy expression at that moment, "Isn't this just too embarrassing?"

"What's shameful about it? It's made up of the last character of our names!"

Cosmo replied matter-of-factly, "He's super handsome, isn't he!"

Looking at the junior he had personally trained, who had now become so reliable, Kevin couldn't help but smile and agree, "Indeed."

"Well."

Desdrobia didn't continue the topic. "Let's focus on dealing with the Herrscher of the End. Her condition seems to have changed again."

"Please be careful with it."

Aponia's voice also resounded from the depths of everyone's hearts at this moment, "The Herrscher of the End's mental power is still increasing, and her next offensive will only be more ferocious than before."

That is indeed the case.

After being injured, the Herrscher of the End's expression changed for the first time, making people realize that this seemingly cold and mechanical giant actually has the ability to express emotions. However, the anger and condescending arrogance revealed on that exquisite face at this moment was really uncomfortable.

That expression was like someone teasing ants on the ground, but when they reached out to crush them, they were bitten by an ant. The pain might be insignificant, but the pain itself is an offense to humanity.

Therefore, humanity needs to start taking this seriously.

The Herrscher of the End did not make any extra movements, but a circular halo unfolded behind her. The halo was constructed of intricate and obscure patterns, looking like some kind of mysterious rune. Just one glance was enough to make one dizzy.

Then, a blue light shone at the very top of the halo.

Immediately afterwards, everyone paused in unison, as if some indescribable force had just swept over them.

Then, the clothes on the Herrscher of the End began to change. They became more gorgeous and heavier, but most importantly, they seemed to exude a familiar aura.

That was Kevin and the others' own scent.

"She is..."

Su suddenly spoke, his tone revealing a hint of disbelief, "Analyze our power?"

The First Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason, possesses the power to understand and construct everything.

Then, following a clockwise direction, a golden light shone from the one o'clock position on the halo.

Kevin and the others, who were about to launch an attack, instantly stopped in their tracks. Instead of choosing to play it safe, an irresistible force bound them.

It was as if space itself had suddenly frozen.

The Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of Void, possesses the power to control space.

Then, the third, the fourth, and all twelve rays of light shone forth, embedded in the halo like twelve dazzling gems, yet emanating a cold aura capable of ending everything.

With twelve powers gathered together, how can we possibly resist?

Just as Kevin was desperately trying to figure out how to fight back, and even began to wonder if he could break free of the restraints and hurt the Herrscher of the End by self-destructing, a beam of light fell from above, like a spotlight on a stage, enveloping the entire battlefield.

Enveloped in this light, Kevin suddenly felt that he could move again.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone!"

Vill-V's voice resonated in everyone's hearts, "The ultimate mode of the Moonlight Throne the God of Domination, descend!"

As she spoke, the light representing the twelve powers behind the Herrscher of the End began to flicker erratically.

It was as if power was struggling, trying to break free from her control.

"Ai asked me to tell everyone about the most unique ability of the Moonlight Throne."

Vill-V continued, "At the cost of complete destruction, the Moonlight Throne can create a special barrier that can strip the Herrscher of the End of their control over their powers. With my 'God of Domination' added to that, we can temporarily take over these powers!"

"To call it a takeover is merely to seize control; it lacks the crucial means of implementation."

Mobius added calmly, "Of course, I will fill in the most crucial part—well, everyone, now the power is ours."

"Time is limited, so don't waste it."

The next second, the halo behind the Herrscher of the End completely went out, and in its place rose a surging aura from Kalpas.

The illusory image he had conjured finally materialized completely at this moment. Although it was still inferior to Kevin's current body, it had far surpassed his previous self.

The appearance of the Amaterasu Dragon changed once again, with the power of the Herrscher of Death surging within him, providing new possibilities for his evolution.

In Kevin's hand, a greatsword was gradually forming, forged from the Herrscher authority of Reason, the weapon he was most familiar with.

As the strongest on the field, the powers he could control were not limited to this. Lightning rose from the sword, and armor of ice materialized on his body. At this moment, Kevin was like a true giant god.

Even Elysia, who was taking damage from the sidelines, had her longbow plated with golden light. It was a spatial power that was sure to hit and could not be avoided. The arrows fired from it could tear the target and the space around him apart.

Even the mental power of Aponia and others was further enhanced by the amplification of the Eighth Authority, completely suppressing the Herrscher of the End.

Of course, the Herrscher of the End was not without power—the power of restraint and distortion became two mountains, pressing down on her head to deprive her of her last remaining power to resist.

The "God of Domination," formed from the combination of artificial satellites, also flew over at this moment, driven by the Fourth Authority. All of its weapons were aimed at the Herrscher of the End, gathering a barrage of firepower.

At this very moment, in this brief instant, the Herrscher of the End is an immovable sitting duck.

This time, it was her turn to think about it—

With twelve powers gathered together, how can we possibly resist?

Chapter 107 The clock is now running in the opposite direction.

The absolute suppression barrier created by the Moonlight Throne can only be maintained for a short period of sixty seconds.

Even with the additional intervention of the "God of Domination," which can extend this time through the effects of some of his powers, it can only be extended to ninety seconds.

Assuming the effect remains unchanged, ninety seconds is already the absolute limit. If you want to extend the duration further, you must reduce the effect as a price.

However, there is one point that absolutely cannot be compromised—because given the despairingly huge gap between the two sides, even if the Herrscher of the End could retain only one percent of her strength, their plan would completely fail.

Therefore, this absolute suppression for ninety seconds is Kevin and the others' last chance.

"Let me put it more clearly,"

Vill-V's tone was so calm it was almost inhuman, "Judging from all the reactions of the Cocoon of Finality so far, they are retaliating in equal measure to the power we've displayed. So you can imagine, after we've demonstrated the ability to suppress or even strip them of their powers, if we still haven't eliminated the Herrscher of the End— "

"So, once she regains power, what methods will she use to deal with us?"

This is not something difficult to understand; it's so obvious that everyone can realize it. The reason no one says it aloud is simply because such an answer would be far too cruel for humankind.

Each of them has undergone trials and transformations that are unimaginable to ordinary people. They are the most powerful warriors in the entire human civilization. Yet, even so, they still seem so powerless when facing the Herrscher of the End.

Does this mean that humanity does not possess the ability to transcend the Finality and destroy the Honkai?

This is the truth that no one wants to face.

Even so, we absolutely cannot waste these precious ninety seconds.

Kevin raised his longsword and slashed it down fiercely at the Herrscher of the End!

The Amaterasu Dragon let out a roar that no one could hear, its entire body spinning into a whirlwind. With the combined effects of its power and telekinesis, it pierced into the body of the Herrscher of the End like a drill.

Meanwhile, Kalpas unleashed a furious punch, Elysia launched a long-awaited arrow, Vill-V unleashed her full firepower, and Mobius bombarded with simulated powers... No one wanted to waste time on such things, after all, they would have plenty of energy to think about such things after everything was over.

Of course, they may also no longer need to think about these things.

The violent power was unleashed on the Herrscher of the End without reservation. Having lost her powers and completely unable to move, the Herrscher of the End's body finally suffered irreparable damage.

Kevin's greatsword severed her arm, the charge of the Amaterasu dragon pierced her throat, Kalpas Calamities' heavy fist broke her left leg, Elysia's arrow pierced her eyes, Vill-V's firepower burned her long hair and clothes, Mobius's pseudo-power suppressed her body, which began to crumble—

Everything was moving in a positive direction. If the Herrscher of the End could be completely destroyed within ninety seconds, it seemed that this war that would determine the fate of humanity could be declared a victory.

Even though the Herrscher of the End's body had been completely disintegrated, turning into limbs and fragments scattered on the moon, no one stopped what they were doing.

Because this seemingly terrifying scene was not even a fatal injury to the Herrscher of the End.

"Destroying her body alone won't do any good."

At the very beginning of the battle, Vill-V warned, "An inanimate structure of such an exaggerated size must have a core for acquiring and processing information. Only by destroying that thing can you truly kill her. If you can't find the core, even if you burn her to ashes, it won't do you any good!"

"It should be noted that the Herrscher of the End may have more than one core."

Mobius added, "Focus your attention and don't overlook anything suspicious!"

However, two-thirds of the ninety seconds had already passed, and even though Kevin and the others had meticulously chopped up the Herrscher of the End minced meat, they still hadn't found the so-called core.

At this moment, Kalpas had already burned to ashes in the extreme explosion. If Mobius hadn't separated the power from him in time, he would have almost burned himself to death. Cosmo and Desdrobia were also on the verge of their limits. The monster's body even began to collapse and disintegrate earlier than the Herrscher of the End.

With two people gone to assist him, Kevin was left alone on the front lines—at this rate, it would be difficult to end this within ninety seconds.

"Vill-V, Mobius."

At that moment, Kevin suddenly said, "Transfer all power to me."

"What are you up to?"

"No, you can't withstand that kind of power at all. You won't even be able to use it all before you die!" Vill-V asked instinctively, then realized, "No, you can't withstand that kind of power. You won't even be able to use it all before you die!"

"There's no time to waste, stop talking nonsense."

Kevin released the sword from his hand, letting it plunge into the ground. "Don't worry, I can take it."

"I see."

Vill-V didn't press the matter further. "But you need to understand, this is your last chance."

What Vill-V cared about most was not Kevin's life, but that if they really went all in and still couldn't completely destroy the Herrscher of the End, then they would lose all possibility of fighting back.

But on second thought, the outcome couldn't possibly get any worse.
