Chapter 251

Putting your past self into your Friends Circle, and then kicking Friends Circle away near the Herrscher of Thunder... sounds like something Ancestor Kevin would do.

"Thanks."

At the same time, a Teleportation Gate opened up next to Yakumo Yukari's gap, Fu Hua walked out of the Teleportation Gate with someone who looked exactly like her, thanking the person behind her.

"You're welcome," Sirin waved her hand.

Fu Hua was clearly a bit gentler; at least she knew to ask someone to help open a Teleportation Gate.

It wasn't that Fu Hua didn't want to send the message through the Friends Circle Terminal, but rather that the Friends Circle Terminal couldn't send people via teleportation.

However, the next moment, Fu Hua's Friends Circle Terminal lit up, and after Fu Hua agreed, Su used the Friends Circle Terminal to send the message.

"Where is this? Who are you?" Su looked at the crowd in front of her with a confused expression.

While it's true that the Friends Circle Terminal can't be used to send messages to others, Su directly gifted her Friends Circle Terminal to her past self.

"Aha... this is quite a unique way for three people to get together." Elysia smiled, a smirk playing on her lips.

Kevin chose to kick his past self into the present.

Fu Hua chose to ask her friends for help, personally bringing her past self back with her.

Su directly handed the choice over to her past self...

Chen Li snapped his fingers, using the Herrscher of the Void Authority "capture" Kevin, Su, and Hua in front of him, and expanded the coverage of his Friends Circle of Friends Circle to protect them.

"Chosen Warriors, the evil Demon King has descended, and the world is in grave danger. It is time to awaken the hidden power within you, defeat the Demon King Deliverance," Chen Li said, turning to the three of them.

The first thing Kevin, Su, and Fu Hua's projections did after appearing in the Previous Civilization was definitely not to wipe out the Honkai beasts, but to visit their past selves.

Chen Li already knew about this. Therefore, when the Herrscher of Thunder descended upon the world, the three of them were actually the safest.

In other words, of the four people Chen Li summoned, only Durandal has actually done any work so far.

The Herrscher of Thunder also chose a time when all Thirteen Arbiter-Generals were present to challenge the world.

"Huh? I remember you, Chen Li. You're not a student at Qianyu Academy, are you? Because I haven't been able to find you." Kevin quickly recognized Chen Li.

Su greeted Chen Li but didn't say much; he was still recalling what his other self had said to him.

Hua remained silent, seemingly aware of what he was about to face.

It's fair to say that of the three, only Kevin is completely unaware of the current situation.

Come to think of it, Kevin isn't exactly known for his ability to explain himself.

Sue explained the basic situation to herself; the rest was all a riddle.

Only Fu Hua would be so considerate as to prepare everything for her past self.

"I'm not a student, I'm a sage. Now you should go fight the Demon King. Yes, that's her, the Herrscher of Thunder." Chen Li pointed at the Herrscher of Thunder, who was constantly striking the Friends Circle shield with lightning.

"Huh, we're fighting this Herrscher of Thunder? Really?" Kevin couldn't help but ask.

No, buddy, she's unleashing lightning right now.

Even if we are some chosen Hero, shouldn't you have weapons and equipment to protect yourself?

"I'm serious. As chosen Hero, when you encounter danger, you will summon your future selves. Any one of them is enough to crush the Herrscher of Thunder. And now is the best time for you to awaken this ability called Stand," Chen Li said.

Using crisis as a stimulus... that's how Gretel awakens her Stand.

"Even if you say that... speaking of which, could the one who kicked me over just now be me from the future?" Kevin asked, frowning.

Kevin didn't see the other person clearly at the time, but felt that the person looked somewhat familiar because the other person was moving too fast.

"You've all been having dreams lately, haven't you? Dreaming of some cruel futures? That's right, that's the real future. If you don't want that future to come true, go and kill this Herrscher of Thunder in front of you!" Chen Li said again.

The three of them fell silent.

Clearly, the three of them did dream about something, and the dream was not pleasant.

"Alright, three seconds left, I'm going to remove this shield."

"Well?!"

"3...1!" Chen Li instantly removed the Friends Circle shield.

A dense barrage of lightning struck the crowd in an instant.

All three of them had eyes filled with terror.

"[The Causality Cycle]."

The next moment, a shield completely different from the Friends Circle shield appeared, blocking the endless lightning and deflecting it towards the Herrscher of Thunder had unleashed the attack.

Although the Herrscher of Thunder was somewhat disheveled, she was not seriously injured.

All eyes fell on the figure in front of Su, who had his eyes closed, a calm demeanor, and a face that seemed to exude wisdom—a figure almost identical to Su.

"Chen Li, such a radical method of awakening is not advisable," Su said slowly.

"Don't worry, I just reduced the area of Friends Circle shield to just enough to cover them, and then made the shield transparent. No one will get hurt," Chen Li explained.

A sudden hum of thunder resounded as a massive amount of purple lightning converged into a ball of light before the Herrscher of Thunder.

Lightning crackled at the fingertips of the Herrscher of Thunder.

The lightning flashed with an aura capable of annihilating everything.

Seeing this attack, Su also became serious.

Although the Herrscher of Thunder is not the Herrscher with the most destructive power, her maximum output has the effect of breaking everything down into atoms.

A fiery red figure darted out of the protective barrier in an instant. The next moment, a phoenix burning with flames emerged from behind it and flew towards the Herrscher of Thunder, canceling out the Herrscher of Thunder's all-annihilating attack.

Then, Fu Hua, dressed in a fiery red cheongsam, who had already positioned herself in front of the Herrscher of Thunder, rained down her fists upon the Herrscher of Thunder.

Every punch lands hard!

The Herrscher of Thunder was knocked into the air!

The Herrscher of Thunder is still being levitated!

The Herrscher of Thunder has been floating in the air!

Chen Li couldn't see any lethality in Fu Hua's attacks; they were full of personal emotions.

Purely venting anger!

Looking at Fu Hua's agile yet graceful figure, a strange light shone in Hua's eyes.

Yes, that's it!

Martial arts should be this dazzling!

Who says that with guns, kung fu loses its meaning?

He's so handsome, isn't he!

"Wow, your future selves are so handsome! Let me see mine..." Kevin, a sunny and cheerful young man, couldn't wait to turn around and look behind him when he saw Fu Hua and Su's handsome future selves.

Kevin noticed that the other two's stunt doubles seemed to appear behind him.

However, when Kevin saw the figure behind him, his excited expression froze.

"Kevin, what's wrong?" Su, as his close friend, immediately expressed her concern and then looked behind Kevin.

Sue's expression also froze.

"What's wrong with you two?" Hua looked behind Kevin when she realized that the two people who had fought alongside her seemed to have stopped moving.

Hua's expression also froze.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ancestor Kevin crossed his arms, his demeanor as cold as ever, looking extremely ruthless.

The premise is to ignore what the other person is wearing at that moment.

"You! Why are you wearing women's clothes?" Kevin's voice stammered with anxiety.

Rationally speaking, this white idol performance outfit is actually more unisex, and Kevin doesn't look bad in it. But in Kevin's opinion, that doesn't change the fact that it's women's clothing!

"Hmm?" Kevin frowned.

"This isn't women's clothing, it's an idol performance outfit. Is there something wrong with it?" Kevin, dressed in a specially customized set of the Starter Trio idol characters from Honkai-Moe Paradise by World Serpent, asked.

"Nothing's right here. Even if it's not women's clothing... why are you wearing an idol performance outfit?" Kevin questioned.

"Debuting as an idol. Currently undergoing makeup testing."

Kevin has obtained the coordinates of the World Bubble where Mei is located, but Su is still using the Second God Key to locate it, which will take some time.

Just then, World Serpent finished making the idol costume, and Kevin was pulled aside to try it on and asked for his opinion.

"???" by Kevin

Seeing his future self calmly utter such terrifying words, Kevin was momentarily unsure whether it was the problem with him or with himself.

Kevin felt even more embarrassed by the strange look from his good friend Sue.

Su? That's right, Su!

"Su, you're not some kind of idol or anything, are you?" Kevin placed his last hope on his future friend.

Kevin believes his friendship with Sue will last forever.

"No."

"That's great! You should try to persuade my future self!"

"I'm the agent," Su Ping said calmly.

"..."

Kevin looked blank, Kevin eyes were vacant, Kevin to have lost all will to live.

Su, who was standing next to him, was also shocked when she heard the news.

Sue thought that debuting as an idol was a hidden interest that Kevin found in that cruel future, but why could her future self accept this fact so calmly, and why did he become a manager?

"Alright, I should go now." After seeing Fu Hua combo the Herrscher of Thunder so hard that she was constantly suspended in the air and unable to land, Kevin decided to end this farce.

Kevin could tell that Fu Hua wasn't seriously trying to defeat the Herrscher of Thunder; she was just venting her anger.

Fu Hua has a very bad impression of the Herrscher of Thunder, seemingly because her only close friend during her school years disappeared during the Third Fu Hua Honkai.

Upon hearing this, Kevin's eyes lit up a little.

Since my future self will choose to debut as an idol, I must have turned to the dark side. So, the strength of that dark side should be very strong, right?

"Heavenly Fire..." Kevin slowly stepped out of the Friends Circle shield, and the ordinary greatsword that Kevin had been carrying was instantly surrounded by flames.

The rapidly rising aura caused the surrounding buildings to begin to melt.

If it weren't for the Friends Circle shield, this high temperature alone would have been enough to cause fatal harm to Su, Kevin, and Hua, who are ordinary people.

Despite being surrounded by flames, Kevin's figure remained clearly visible.

Fu Hua, sensing the heat, knew that her old friend had made a move. After kicking the Herrscher of Thunder into the sky again, she began to dodge.

Even Fu Hua, who was already able to activate a state of Artificial Honkai Eruption, did not want to take a hit from Kevin.

"—Draw!"

The sun is rising!

Everything was burned to ashes!

The moment the light fell, the entire city was split in two.

"So cool! Is this my ultimate move from the future?" Although he had some reservations about the idol outfit his future self was wearing, Kevin still gave a fair and objective evaluation of this awesome attack.

"No, that's a basic attack." Chen Li shook his head.

Kevin's full-force attack was enough to annihilate the entire city, then burn East Asia, which the Third Herrscher had not Destruction, to the point of leaving no one alive, while leaving Earth with a permanent Mediterranean hairstyle.

"My future self is amazing!"

Although wearing idol outfits might seem a bit weird, it's really amazing!

So cool!

"This is the Herrscher of Thunder Core." Kevin tossed the Herrscher of Thunder, now reduced to just a single core, outside the Friends Circle shield.

Because the Herrscher of Thunder Core is still emitting high temperatures, Kevin is afraid of harming his past self and his companions.

"Okay, leave it to me." Chen Li nodded.
