Honkai Impact 3rd: Beginning with Handcrafted Black Tech to Save the Pre-Civilization - Rebirth Squad, Shameless!
After all, every bit of power He possesses is painstakingly acquired. Every additional bit consumed means He is further away from His original goal, and countless things involved in this must be recalculated and revised.
Therefore, He cannot afford to waste time.
Having made her decision, Sa opened her arms, and the runes that had spread around her began to gradually converge, eventually condensing into a flower with six strange petals above her head.
Not only does it emit an eerie deep purple light, but each petal is also decorated with an eye-like pattern. Even the part that symbolizes the stamen resembles a vertical eye. Just looking at it makes one feel a chill run down their spine.
In addition, the remaining power of the other creatures enveloped Kevin, attempting to completely seal him off, clearly not wanting him to interrupt their plans.
"Not good!"
Vita, noticing this, couldn't help but widen her eyes. Even knowing Kevin couldn't hear her, she shouted, "Don't let Him succeed! Once that flower fully blooms, we're finished!"
"What exactly is that?"
Su stared at the strange flower and suddenly felt a little dazed. "Could it be some kind of... causal ability?"
"That is a power that belongs solely to Sa."
Vita glanced at him, her teasing intentions gone. "Once it fully unfolds, it will completely rewrite the rules of this world. At that time—"
"Everything here will be completely destroyed by Him."
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Time Travel Team, Shameless!
Indeed, just as Kevin judged, So was not good at fighting.
With so much power and such immense energy, He should have been able to easily crush Kevin in battle. However, the situation was not only out of His control, but He was even used by the adept opponent as a whetstone to hone His strength.
But Sa didn't actually feel there was anything wrong with it, after all, He wasn't a warrior, but a god.
Gods don't need to be good at fighting, because they have their own ultimate weapon to end all conflicts.
No matter how powerful a warrior is, he is still just a brute. How can he be compared to Him?
With the strange flowers blooming, the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly froze.
The once stable World Bubble began to falter with the appearance of that flower.
"So, what exactly is that?"
Sensing the changes in the world, Su couldn't help but look at Vita.
"I don't know, do you think something of this level is something I can easily access?"
Vita shook her head with a wry smile. "All I know is that So once used this method to easily destroy a sizable World Bubble, and within that World Bubble lived tens of millions of humans."
Upon hearing this, even Aponia's expression turned quite serious.
"Sizable" is a rather vague adjective, but tens of millions of people is another matter entirely.
If converted to Earth, this scale would probably exceed the size of Australia. Although it sounds about the same level as the Herrscher, according to Vita, this move of Suzaku could destroy the World Bubble itself.
This means that the damage it can cause far exceeds the level of physical rules, reaching a level that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Even Kevin today would probably find it difficult to cause this level of destruction.
Perhaps only someone with equal power could possibly break this trick.
Even so, Sue and Aponia did not show any signs of tension or panic. Although they controlled their emotions well, they still seemed somewhat naive in front of Vita, who had seen countless people.
"There's no other way. Although I don't want to do this, it seems you're helpless as well."
Seemingly sensing something from Sue and Aponia's expressions, Vita couldn't help but chuckle, "As expected, I'll have to come up with a solution myself."
"You?"
Su was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Vita to say something like that. "You have a way?"
Sue didn't look down on Vita; it was just that, in his view, given Vita's personality, she had absolutely no reason to step forward and take responsibility under these circumstances.
"We can only say that we can give it a try, but it's hard to say whether it will be effective or how effective it will be."
Vita said, then closed her eyes, "But, it's better than just sitting here and waiting to die, isn't it?"
After saying this, her body floated in mid-air. She crossed her long legs and made a clever gesture, as if she had entered her own rhythm.
If Vita could know what Su was thinking at this moment, she might be surprised by Su's control over her personality, because Su was absolutely right. According to Vita's personality, she would never take the initiative to step forward if someone else could take responsibility.
As the saying goes, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Since Kevin is still alive, it's naturally not her turn to do the work, being a weak woman.
However, there are exceptions to this situation—for example, "stepping forward" in such a time can bring her more benefits.
Sue had obviously thought of this as well. He and Aponia exchanged a glance and saw a subtle emotion on each other's faces.
Clearly, since Vita was so eager to help, Aponia and the others would owe her a debt of gratitude, regardless of whether she was ultimately able to help or not.
If the other party pays a heavy price for this matter, then the favor becomes even more significant.
"Kevin, what do you think?"
At this moment, Su also looked at Kevin in the air and asked, "Should we break through directly?"
Although the current situation seemed very critical to Vita, Su and the others did not consider it a serious matter.
Ai Yue had actually warned them about this move long ago.
According to Ai Yue, Suo's move was full of flaws and was something that would break at the slightest touch. Even if it were used on Kevin and the others, it would never reach the level of "destroying everything".
"It might hurt a lot, but it definitely won't kill you."
Su still remembered what Ai Yue had told Kevin, "Of course, it might be a bit dangerous for you guys, but if you really can't avoid it, or can't stop it, then let Kevin protect you."
This assessment implies that even if Kevin did nothing and simply watched So complete his move, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Even this move by Suo was originally part of Ai Yue's plan.
"I'd like to see it for myself."
Kevin floated in mid-air, a semi-transparent energy shield lighting up around him, blocking all of Suo's attacks. "A world-destroying technique, it sounds like we might be able to learn something from it."
"If only you had studied this hard when you were in school."
Hearing Kevin's top-student-like remarks, Su, the real top student, couldn't help but retort, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were in class, not facing some world-destroying force."
"Isn't this because our part has already been completed?"
Kevin's response carried a hint of a smile, "Aponia, you've already confirmed things with 'the outside world,' right?"
"Of course, everything is ready."
Aponia added with a laugh, "Now we'll see when our protagonist will find out."
Kevin looked in the direction of Suo, then smiled slightly, "I think it should be soon."
And that was indeed the case. Even Aponia and the others standing on the ground could see that four of the six petals of the flower had lit up.
When he realized that Kevin had no intention of stopping him, So was first taken aback, and then became even more annoyed.
He sensed disdain from the other party's attitude; Kevin's nonchalant attitude was undoubtedly saying, "Do whatever you want, do you think you can turn the world upside down?"
This anger finally overwhelmed the fear of the power of the Herrscher of the End in Sa's heart. At this moment, He changed His original plan and decided to teach this ignorant brat a lesson.
He originally intended to use the power of this move to tear apart this World Bubble and then escape back to the Sea of Quantum, but now, He wants to destroy this glowing thing in front of him along with the World Bubble!
So Sa used the power of "Cycle of Reincarnation," and a giant clock was manifested and displayed before everyone.
And each time the clock chimes, a new petal of the Seven Deadly Fruits lights up.
The moment the clock appeared, Aponia frowned.
"Time is flowing faster."
With her powerful mental strength, she could naturally sense the hourglass's interference with the world's development. "I didn't expect that Saran had already mastered this power... How far is He from becoming a true god?"
The power of time is a powerful power that only the Herrscher of Finality can wield. The fact that Sa can achieve this level of power without the support of the Cocoon of Finality is quite remarkable.
Unfortunately, the power He possessed was ultimately just a false imitation.
"That's not true time power,"
Ai Yue's voice echoed in her heart, "If you feel it carefully, you will find that it is just a set of rules that can barely function in the world that He simulated.
Compared to Aponia and others, and even compared to Vita, Ai Yue has a much deeper understanding of Sa.
That is why, even though he was not present at the moment, he was still able to perceive every move of Suo, and thus gained a general understanding of the powers Suo possessed.
"Formation, Stasis, Destruction, Void"—this is the name of the power He possesses.
In simpler terms, Sa can use his power to create a simulated world in which all laws are determined by him, and the most fundamental law of this world is "Formation, Stasis, Destruction, Void"—a cycle of creation, prosperity, decline, and destruction.
This power also reveals Sa's own obsession—He wants to recreate everything about his former civilization, "Purusha." In order to perfectly recreate this former civilization, He needs to create a complete world that He controls from beginning to end.
If one day He could accumulate enough energy, perhaps He could use that energy to truly materialize this simulated world. But right now He is far from having the ability to materialize a world, so He can only create such a simulated environment.
Even so, this simulated environment still has a huge impact on the World Bubble. The most significant impact is that the structure of this world is no longer as stable as it was at the beginning.
Because the rules created by Sa are silently infiltrating the underlying rules of this world through His power, replacing the original laws.
In this situation, Sa could easily tear this World Bubble apart, and if given enough time, perhaps Sa would actually have the opportunity to steal this World Bubble and make it his own.
In this context, a mere time acceleration becomes unsurprising.
Moreover, time acceleration is merely a supporting role—the true protagonist is the flower that, under the power of time acceleration, rapidly accumulates enough energy to fully bloom.
That is the "Seven Deadly Fruits" that destroyed the world.
The moment the vertical eye at the center of the flower fully lit up, all the energy that constituted this World Bubble surged toward Saha under the influence of the Seven Deadly Fruits. The terrifying energy gathered on Saha's body, causing it to shine with a dazzling purple light, almost transforming into a bewitching purple star.
"Cycle of Life and Death— "
Saha grabbed the scepter that was spinning wildly in front of Him, then raised it high. Feeling this terrifying power, even the god couldn't help but raise his head and roar angrily, "Saha World!"
"Kevin, are you sure you can handle it?"
Feeling the terrifying power emanating from Su, even Su couldn't help but widen his eyes. "I feel like I should give you some advice."
"The fact that you're still in the mood to joke means you don't really think that way."
Kevin could naturally hear the teasing in his friend's words and couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't worry, this power is indeed terrifying enough, but Ai Yue is absolutely right."
At the same time, Kevin's figure appeared in front of everyone. He gradually shrank back to the size of a normal person, but the light on his body became more and more intense, enveloping everyone in it.
The instant Kevin finished doing all this, the purple demon star fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.
The Self-Detachment!
Then, purple light spread in all directions, attempting to completely fill the world.
But just as the light was about to engulf everything, Vita, protected by Kevin's power, suddenly opened her eyes.
"You've really gotten carried away, haven't you, Sassa?"
She revealed a smug and cunning smile, her hands, which were forming a mudra, opened to reveal an exquisite hourglass from her bosom.
The hourglass had long since run out of time, and the upper half was completely empty, but under Vita's control, it suddenly reversed.
"In this world, you're not the only one who possesses this power."
Then, everything went back to normal.
The purple light transformed back into the demonic star, the fallen star rose back into the sky, the giant clock that had completed its mission reappeared, and the fully lit Seven Deadly Fruits dimmed once more.
At that moment, Vita swallowed the blood that had risen to her throat.
She glanced at the others with feigned ease and a smile on her face, "I did offer some help, you know? When we get to that person, remember to say a few good words for me!"
Nobody asked you for help, right?
Kevin and the other two all wore helpless expressions, but none of them said it aloud.
Because when Vita finished doing all this, she had already achieved her goal—don't worry about whether anyone asked her for help or not, just tell me whether she helped or not!
At the same time, Su let out an angry shriek.
Of course, He didn't know that his confident strike wouldn't actually deal a devastating blow to Kevin and the others. All He knew was that his last chance had been ruined by that damned traitor!
Unfortunately, now is not the time to settle scores with her, because Sa clearly will not have a second chance to activate "Self-Detachment". Having lost the opportunity to destroy everything, what He needs to consider most now is how to escape from here.
Fortunately, although the Self-Detachment was reversed, the erosion of this World Bubble by the "formation, Formation, Stasis, Destruction, Void" principle still holds true.
The next second, as Sa swung his scepter hard, the World Bubble began to crumble under the strain.
It was a success!
A slight smile finally appeared on Suo's face—as long as she could return to the Sea of Quantum, she would settle this score sooner or later!
