Exposing Pardofelis: The Flame-Chaser Who Seemed Least Like a Hero, Yet Understood the Weight of Sacrifice Best!
[He sacrificed himself many times to protect his comrades and to fulfill his mission.]
Several times!
Sacrifice yourself!
Boom!
If the previous descriptions of "ordinary person" and "lucky" were mind-blowing, then this final assessment is like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart hard.
The girl who seemed least like a hero did the thing that best embodied the definition of a hero.
Moreover, it happened more than once.
Tang Wulin clenched his fist instantly, and the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King emitted a low, mournful cry within him.
He thought of himself; to fight against the Abyss, he too had chosen sacrifice. He understood best the resolute determination to shoulder everything and march towards destruction.
But Pardofelis, she's just an ordinary person!
She had no great strength, no indestructible body; every sacrifice she made meant utter death, the only thing an "ordinary person" could give!
"Why..." Huo Yuhao's voice trembled slightly, "She's clearly... just an ordinary person..."
He thought of Wang Dong'er, and of all those who had died for him. That feeling of helplessness and heartache washed over him once more.
A ripple also appeared in Gu Yuena's silver eyes.
She had witnessed countless deaths and presided over numerous wars. But in her mind, sacrifice was the destiny of the strong and the helplessness of the weak.
But this girl named Pardofelis made a conscious choice in her sacrifice.
A choice that belongs to "ordinary people," both the most dazzling and the most tragic.
On screen, Pardofelis's figure gradually fades away, eventually disappearing into Nihility.
The whole world fell into a deathly silence.
Countless beings from different dimensions mourned for this "ordinary" girl they had never met.
However, the Light Screen did not give them much time to be sentimental.
That darkness was illuminated once again.
This time, the light was no longer gentle, but carried a chilling coldness and domineering power.
[First Seat, Jiu Shi Zhi Ming]
These six words alone convey a suffocating sense of heaviness.
"Salvation..."
Tang San from the Divine Realm, Tang Wulin from Douluo Star, Xue Ye from Heaven Dou City... Countless people who held high positions and once carried the fate of a country or a world felt their hearts clench as if by an invisible hand when they saw these two words.
This word is too heavy.
A towering, upright man slowly appeared in the center of the Light Screen.
He had long, snow-white hair, a handsome face that was as cold as ice, and deep blue eyes that were as unyielding as ice that had never melted for millennia, showing no trace of emotion.
He stood there quietly, yet he seemed to be the center of the entire world.
An invisible sense of oppression, beyond the limits of everyone's comprehension, descended upon every dimension through the Light Screen!
The Divine Realm.
The expressions of the God King, led by the God of Destruction, changed drastically in an instant!
"What level of power is this?!"
The Titled Douluo in the lower realms felt their souls tremble, as if they were gazing up at an insurmountable sky.
Within the Tomb of the Dragon God, even the slumbering remnant soul of the Dragon God seemed to be startled by this aura, letting out a low roar.
Text appeared on the Light Screen.
[Kevin Kaslana]
[The ancestor of the Kaslana Family, the strongest of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire.]
"The strongest!"
The moment this name was announced, everyone perked up.
They had already witnessed the power of many Flame-Chasers: Ying's flawless inscription, Su's Fleeting Life inscription, Hua's momentary inscription... each one was a peerless genius.
And the man before them was actually the strongest among them!
Just how strong is he?
Just as everyone was speculating, the Light Screen split into twelve, displaying the images of all twelve Flame-Chasers except Kevin.
Each image represents the pinnacle of power.
Then, a subtitle powerful enough to silence the entire world appeared, imprinted in the very center of every screen with a burning intensity.
[His strength surpassed the combined strength of the other twelve Flame-Chasers.]
quiet.
A deathly silence.
The whole world seemed to have been put on pause.
In the God Realm Committee, the expressions on the faces of Chang Gongwei, Lei Xiang, A'Dai, Hai Long, Tian Hen, Ye Yinzhu... these God King who once stood at the pinnacle of their respective worlds, were completely frozen.
For the first time, a feeling of bewilderment appeared in their eyes.
Surpassing... the combined total of the other twelve Flame-Chasers?
What does this mean?
They subconsciously projected those twelve Flame-Chasers onto themselves as beings of their own caliber.
Can one person's power surpass the combined strength of twelve God King?
This goes beyond the word "powerful".
This is mythology! It's a fantasy! It's a monster that completely, utterly, and beyond their understanding...
"No... it's impossible..."
The God of Destruction muttered to himself, his proud Destruction Divine Power appearing utterly laughable under the cold gaze of the man in the Light Screen.
"This is absolutely impossible! No living being can withstand such immense power! His body will collapse! His soul will be annihilated!"
Tang San's pupils shrank to the most dangerous needle-like size.
His brain was working frantically, trying to decipher the meaning behind those words.
Is it an exaggeration?
No.
This Light Screen only ever states the facts.
That means it's true.
One person's strength, in a true sense, surpasses the combined strength of the other twelve companions.
"Father..."
Tang Wulin spoke with difficulty, looking at Tang San beside him, only to find that his father's expression was more solemn than ever before.
He thought of the legendary Dragon God.
That supreme being who once ruled over all beasts, splitting into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, and ushering in the era of Divine Beast.
Was the Dragon God of that era really that powerful?
I'm afraid... it's far from enough.
Gu Yuena's body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from a tremor originating from the source of power.
As the Silver Dragon King, she understood the weight of the words "total power" better than anyone else.
The Dragon God's power is the sum of all the Dragon King of that time, but it is a convergence.
And this man named Kevin achieved transcendence as an "individual"!
These are completely different concepts!
"A monster...a real monster..." The two Beast God, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, had completely lost their ability to think.
The oppressive feeling from the Light Screen continued.
On screen, Kevin's cold gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, watching over every living being.
The last two lines slowly emerged, providing the most somber commentary on his illogical power.
[Bearing the inscription of "savior of the world".]
[It is the core and hope of the Previous Civilization's fight against the Honkai.]
I see.
Tang San, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin —these three generations of people who single-handedly saved the world—felt an indescribable sense of sorrow upon seeing this sentence.
