Kevin's Frost Struck Down the Herrscher of Flamescion, but Gene Fusion Cost Him His Lover's Touch Forever!

"Hmph, mere humans dare to covet the power of Emperor?" The Dragon Prince raised his proud head slightly, his golden eyes filled with disdain. In his view, this was a desecration of the bloodline of a higher life form.

However, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Dragon God, who sat enthroned on his throne and whose eyes had seen through countless ages.

He could sense the power level represented by that "Emperor -level Collapse Beast," a power far beyond that of ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Douluo World. Humans, with such a fragile vessel, were bearing such power...

The courage and madness involved were something even he couldn't ignore.

He succeeded.

Gu Yuena's voice was clear and cold, yet it carried a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor. She looked at Tang Wulin beside her, her gaze filled with extreme complexity.

What others saw was the birth of a hero, but what she saw was the painful process of a soul being repeatedly forged, crushed, and reshaped in fire and ice.

She understands perfectly.

Because that's how Tang Wulin got here.

The images continued to shift, and beneath the text, there seemed to be blurry images flashing by.

People seemed to see a tall figure resolutely stepping into the experimental chamber filled with the unknown and death, amidst the complex gazes of countless researchers.

They seemed to hear inhuman roars, the most painful cries of the soul and body during Genes collapse and recombination.

Then, a beam of icy blue light shot into the sky!

[Successfully fused with the Genes of Emperor- class Collapse Beast, gained the power of frost, and defeated the Flame Law User.]

When those words appeared, everyone instinctively held their breath.

He succeeded!

This man named Kevin really succeeded!

He transformed into Deity walking among the Human Realm, using extreme cold to fight against the Lie Yan that consumed heaven and earth!

"Using ice to counter fire... what domineering frost power!"

Rong Nianbing, the Divine Realm Ice Fire Demon Chef, the God of Emotion, had his eyes shining. As a top expert in manipulating ice and fire, he could clearly sense that the "power of frost" described in the text had reached an ultimate "realm of reason."

That's not just low temperature, but a power that can conceptually "freeze" all Laws!

"So that's how it is, using Honkai to fight Honkai..." Ji Dong murmured to himself. He thought of his Extreme Twin Fires and the great battle on Holy Evil Island. In the face of absolute disaster, only by creating a power equal to or even surpassing it can there be a glimmer of hope.

Lie Yan stood quietly beside him, watching the lonely Victors on the [Light Screen], a hint of pity in its eyes.

The joy of victory, which hadn't lingered in anyone's hearts for more than a second, was utterly shattered by the last line of text.

[But this also caused his body temperature to drop to minus thirty degrees Celsius, making close contact with MI impossible.]

Boom--!!!

If the previous news was like a landslide and Tsunami, then this sentence is a silent bomb that precisely hits everyone's heart.

The whole world seemed to have been muted at that moment.

minus thirty degrees Celsius...

What does that mean?

That was a "person" who always exuded a chilling aura.

He can embrace victory, he can embrace the whole world, but he cannot embrace the person he most wants to embrace.

He saved the world, but in doing so, he became isolated from it.

He defeated the Flame Law User, who burned the heavens and earth, but he himself transformed into an iceberg that would never melt.

"No..."

Ning Rongrong instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening. She thought of herself and Oscar, and everything they had sacrificed to be together. She couldn't imagine how cruel it would be if Oscar, in order to save her, became someone she could never touch again.

"This... what kind of bullshit victory is this!" Zhou Weiqing, the Tianzhu Island, who was usually cynical, couldn't help but curse at this moment. His voice was filled with anger and resentment, "After sacrificing so much, in the end I can't even touch the woman I love? What the hell is the point of saving the world!"

No one argued with him.

Because everyone can empathize with that feeling.

Tang San's gaze fell on Xiao Wu beside him. He remembered how he had endured endless pain, stripping away his Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone to revive Xiao Wu. But it was all worth it, because he could finally embrace her again.

But what about Kevin?

He won the battle, but his life was a failure.

Huo Yuhao's body trembled slightly. He looked at Tang Wutong beside him, a wave of fear washing over him. If this had been the price he paid for fusing with the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, would he have been so resolute?

Yes, it will.

A voice inside him answered.

For her sake, for everyone's sake, he will.

But it is precisely because of this that he is able to better understand Kevin's deep-seated, Eternity loneliness and pain.

"MI..."

Ye Yinzhu murmured the name. He thought of his Su La, and of that love that transcended life and death. This harp mage, at this moment, only wanted to play a sorrowful melody, for the hero named Kevin, and for the girl named MI who had lost the warmth of her lover.

Of all those present, Tang Wulin was the one who suffered the most.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and the Golden Dragon King Bloodline roared wildly within him, not from anger, but from a kind of... lament.

He looked at Gu Yuena not far away, at the face that he had etched deep into his soul.

Between them lies the deep-seated hatred between the Dragon Clan and humans, and millennia of scheming and plotting.

They once thought that as long as they defeated all their enemies, they could be together forever.

But now, the [Light Screen] tells him a bloody truth: sometimes, defeating the enemy doesn't bring an embrace, but rather a greater distance.

"Unable to... have intimate contact..."

Tang Wulin's lips moved, each word seeming to require all his strength.

He seemed to see the man named Kevin, amidst the cheers of the crowd, reaching out his hand, wanting to touch the girl he loved.

However, before the fingertips even touched her, the girl's hair was already frosted over.

The hand that saved the world brought with it a chilling cold that could freeze all life.

And so, he could only stop forever, just a step away from her.

That step is the end of the world, it is Eternity.

Tang Wulin's vision blurred; he seemed to see not Kevin and MI, but himself and Gu Yuena.

He clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles cracking under the strain.

An indescribable sorrow and anger surged from the deepest part of his heart.

He felt it was unfair to Kevin.

I also felt a chill run down my spine for my uncertain future, which is full of thorns and hardships.

Gu Yuena watched him quietly, her silver eyes reflecting Tang Wulin's pained and repressed profile.
