Kevin Activated Stigmata 2.0, Gambling Humanity's Consciousness on Civilization's Survival
It has no eyes, no form.
But everyone felt that they were being "watched".
That "gaze" pierced through time and space, through the Light Screen, and landed on everyone.
What kind of feeling is that?
It was as if an innocent child was opening their eyes for the first time, curiously observing the world.
But this "child" possesses the power to crush stars with a flick of his wrist.
It is thinking.
It is learning.
It is recognizing the "prey" before it.
This is the Honkai of the new generation, imbued with "thinking".
An enemy created by the very hand of Previous Civilization, the most perfect, and also the most terrifying... enemy.
On the Light Screen, images shifted, and a cold narration sounded again, presenting a cruel truth to the Douluo community.
[The "Honkai Will Plan" provided humanity with a predictable pattern for the birth of Herrscher, allowing humanity to catch its breath amidst repeated Honkai disasters...]
But this is not a victory.
[Faced with the inevitable end of civilization— the End Law User —this plan has failed.]
In the scene, countless struggles and sacrifices ultimately fade into a Nihility of white.
That sense of despair, even through the Light Screen, made the hearts of all the God King in the God Realm Central tremble.
"Failed..." Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, his mood somewhat downcast.
He witnessed the struggles of that civilization, saw them build lines of defense with wisdom and courage, but ultimately, it was still defeat and destruction.
Tang San frowned, and the light in his Purple Demon Eye flickered slightly, as if he wanted to see through all the causes and effects behind the Light Screen.
"Patterns can be predicted, but an absolute gap in strength cannot be bridged by cunning."
He came to a conclusion.
Just like a mortal who, even knowing when the Gods will unleash Divine Punishment, still cannot withstand that world-destroying power.
However, just when everyone thought the story would end in tragedy, the scene on the Light Screen suddenly changed!
A white-haired figure stood aloof amidst the ruins, his back seemingly bearing the weight of an entire civilization.
[Kevin Kaslana]
[In pursuit of that unattainable, utter victory, he devised his final and most insane plan, building upon the "Holy Mark Plan" and the "Honkai Will Plan."]
"The final plan?"
Zhou Weiqing's eyes widened. He couldn't think of any way to turn the tide when even the End Law User couldn't be defeated.
"Could there be something more powerful than the culmination of the wisdom of an entire civilization?" Rong Nianbing also felt a deep sense of curiosity.
The Light Screen didn't give them much time to think; it revealed the answer directly.
[Plan Step 1: Holy Mark Plan 2.0.]
He will use the "Holy Mark Plan" to connect the consciousness of all surviving humans on Earth to the Holy Mark Space, allowing them to continue their lives in a virtual dream world.
"What?!"
This statement caused an uproar throughout the room!
"Put everyone into a dream? This... what kind of living is this?" He Caitou was the first to exclaim, unable to comprehend this behavior.
"What's the difference between this and death! It's just a different kind of 'death'!" Xu Sanshi's face also turned extremely ugly. He thought of the Curse on his family's bloodline, which was also an inescapable fate.
Xue Ye swayed and almost fell off his throne.
As an Emperor, he knew better than anyone what this meant.
"To strip the consciousness of one's people and make them live in a false dream... This... This is an unprecedented atrocity!"
Duke Dai Hao's face was also ashen as he said in a deep voice, "Can such a civilization still be called a civilization? It's nothing more than a herd of domesticated livestock!"
Inside the God Realm Central, the atmosphere was equally tense.
"To strip everyone of reality, just to perpetuate a false civilization..." Chang Gongwei shook his head, his eyes filled with disbelief. "What kind of resolve did the person who made this decision bear?"
"A madman! This is an absolute madman!" Lei Xiang couldn't help but roar.
Even the usually composed Tang San suddenly clenched his fists.
Xiao Wu flashed through his mind, along with his parents and his friends from the Shrek Academy.
If someone were to drag all of their consciousness into a false dream, even if it were to "protect" them, Tang San would absolutely risk his life for them.
Free will and genuine perception—that is the most fundamental meaning of life!
However, Gu Yuena, standing to the side, revealed a complex sadness in her silver eyes.
She thought of the fate of the Soul Beast.
For the sake of her race's survival, didn't she also consider leading all the Soul Beast to establish a home in another dimension, isolated from the world?
Kevin's choice was, in a way, a helpless act of being forced into a corner.
"He wants to use the Stigmata Life to replace the original human civilization..." Tang Wulin read the words on the Light Screen word by word, feeling as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
He possessed the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and spent his entire life fighting against a fate of destruction. He understood all too well the heavy feeling of sacrificing everything for "survival".
Even so, the price of turning all of humanity into a mere illusion is far too high.
That's not all.
Just as everyone was in a state of high alert, the narration on the Light Screen revealed an even more terrifying second step.
[Second step of the plan: Interfering with the entity itself.]
[He will be based on the vast and boundless Holy Mark Space, with himself— Kevin Kaslana's body—as his sole vessel!]
[Activate the "backdoor program" hidden deep within the Prometheus System!]
[Its goal is to interfere with the very essence of "Honkai"!]
"Prometheus?"
"Backdoor program?"
"The very entity that interferes with the Honkai?!"
A series of unheard-of terms left the powerful figures of the Douluo Continent deeply confused and shocked.
A raging storm erupted in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.
His Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and even the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler are all the pinnacle of the Divine Power realm.
The "Holy Mark Space" sounds like a vast world composed of countless spiritual consciousnesses.
To build upon such a world, and to use oneself as the vessel... what terrifying Divine Power and willpower would be required to accomplish this?
"Interference ontology..."
In the Divine Realm, the expressions of several former God King changed.
Hai Long, Tian Hen, Ye Yinzhu, Ji Dong... they all once stood at the pinnacle of a world, deeply understanding how supreme the "Laws" and "origins" were.
For mortals to touch the Laws is already defying the heavens.
And this Kevin's goal is to directly interfere with the "main body" of a global catastrophe!
"This is... a declaration of war against the very Rules of a world!"
