Kevin's Fateful Misstep Destroyed a Civilization; After His Transformation, He Had Nothing Left to Lose-Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment Cuts Through All!

This very sliver of pity became its most fatal flaw.

Sakura's figure weaved through the raging snow and ice, as if she had anticipated Kevin's every move and every attempt to stop her. She knew him too well, knew his strength, and also knew the softness deep within his heart at this moment.

"Pfft--"

A sound so faint it was almost inaudible exploded like a thunderclap in the hearts of all the onlookers.

Kai V froze.

The snow and ice seemed to pause for a moment.

Sakura stopped in her tracks, looking down at the blade that had pierced her chest.

That was her own knife.

With her last ounce of strength, she plunged the hilt of the knife into her own body, extinguishing all hope of life.

Blood stained the crimson Miko Costume.

She slowly raised her head, looked at Kevin was frozen in place, and managed a weak smile, as if to say:

"It's over..."

No.

It's not over yet.

At the very moment her life faded, the entire earth let out a mournful cry, overwhelmed by its own weight.

The purplish-black patterns covering the world did not fade away; instead, they began to spread and expand at an even more frantic pace!

The crimson in the sky grew even more intense, as if it were about to drip blood.

The earth cracked open, the city turned to dust in an instant, and all matter Decomposition and dissipated in the purplish-black light.

"How could this be..." Dai Hao's pupils dilated in shock, his face filled with disbelief. "Wasn't she the core? She's dead, so why has the disaster worsened?"

"It's a trap!" Rong Nianbing's voice was icy cold. For the first time, this God of Emotion felt such pure, unadulterated despair. "It was a trap from the very beginning! The purpose of the Erosion Law User might not have been to conquer this world at all, but... to make this world pay for her death!"

"Sakura's death became the final trigger that ignited everything!"

A devastating torrent swept everything away.

The viewpoint of the Light Screen was raised, and the gods witnessed a beautiful blue planet being completely swallowed by purplish-black energy in just a few seconds. Then, like a fragile glass bead, it shattered inch by inch, turning into the most insignificant dust in the universe.

He died.

Everything is dead.

The entire world was utterly destroyed.

The scene then returns to the original location.

In that Nihility space of the universe, where only ruins and dust remained, a lone figure stood.

Kevin.

He remained in the sword-wielding posture, like an Eternity ice sculpture.

He witnessed Sakura's death.

I witnessed the end of the world.

He watched helplessly as everything he wanted to protect vanished before his very eyes.

That trace of reluctance, that trace of pity, seems so ridiculous now.

If he had gone all out from the beginning and used absolute power to imprison Sakura, perhaps...

No, there are no "ifs".

Failure is failure.

The Divine Realm was deathly silent.

Chang Gongwei, Lei Xiang, A'Dai, Hai Long... these men who once carried the fate of the entire world on their shoulders all clenched their fists as if they were experiencing the same pain. They could understand the pain of being powerless to reverse the situation, the despair of watching tragedy unfold without being able to do anything about it.

Time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment.

I don't know how much time passed.

Kevin slowly, very slowly, lowered the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment from his hand.

The confusion, pain, doubt, regret... all the complex emotions on his face receded like the tide at that moment.

Instead, there was a tranquility that was almost "nothingness".

Like the still sea after a storm, it can no longer stir up a ripple.

He raised his head and looked around at this desolate Star Cemetery, a place where a civilization had been buried.

Then he spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly deep within everyone's soul.

"Sakura..."

He whispered the name; this was his final farewell.

Immediately, a pale white flame ignited in those icy blue eyes.

That is the only thing left after all the sorrow, all the love, all the regret, and all the humanity have been burned away.

--belief.

"Humans..."

His voice became incredibly firm, like steel.

"We will definitely Conquer Collapse."

Boom!

The moment this oath was uttered, the gods of the Douluo God Realm felt an indescribable chill run from their spines to the top of their heads.

What they saw was no longer a soldier regretting his mistakes.

What they saw was a martyr who, amidst the ruins of civilization, crowned himself with the bones of his beloved and the ashes of the world.

His doubts and confusion vanished along with the destruction of that world.

Instead, there is a cold, pure, and unwavering determination.

"He..." Tang Wulin's voice was a little hoarse, "He transformed all his emotions into the power to defeat that thing called ' Honkai '."

"It's more than just power." Gu Yuena shook her head gently, her silver eyes filled with complex emotions. "He abandoned everything that made him 'human.' From this moment on, Kevin is dead. What lives on is merely the embodiment of a will called ' Conquer Collapse.'"

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.

He could sense how terrifying the will emanating from Kevin was. It was an absolute rationality that would sacrifice anything, including himself, for the ultimate goal.

To Conquer Collapse, he can transform into a demon.

In order to perpetuate humanity, he is capable of annihilating inhumanity.

"At the cost of a sliver of pity, a world was destroyed." Rong Nianbing sighed deeply, his tone filled with endless emotion. "And then, at the cost of another world's destruction, the most steadfast and terrifying warrior was forged."

"His beliefs underwent a... transformation."

Tang San remained silent, but his eyes were extremely solemn.

He thought of himself; in order to revive Xiao Wu, and to protect his family and the Douluo Continent, he had repeatedly pushed himself into desperate situations.

But he couldn't imagine whether, when all that he had protected had turned to ashes, when all his efforts had ended in the most tragic failure, he could still rise again from the ruins like this man and make such a heavy vow.

This vow carries more than just a hope.

It is the full weight of a civilization, and a sin that can never be repaid.

Niu Tian and Tai Tan, two towering men, were also silent at this moment. They saw in Kevin an extreme form of "loneliness".

That is the loneliness of standing at the pinnacle of all living beings, yet being at odds with the entire world.

That was a loneliness that carried everything, yet no one could understand it.

A hint of emotion flashed in the Dragon God's majestic golden eyes.

"Using sorrow and love as fuel, let our inextinguishable fighting spirit burn."

"What a... human."
