Chapter 269

It was probably the strongest Honkai Beast in the current civilization era, yet it died from the power of the Herrscher.

The Imaginary Giant withdrew the Void Spear Gungnir from its hand, raised its left hand to grasp the Void Steel Greatsword reconstituted from the Imaginary Power, and slashed at the Honkai Beast that had lost its ability to resist.

One wave after another... the entire seawater was polluted by the blood of the Honkai Beast.

Freya was unaware that a girl in white was floating nearby, spying on them.

She manipulated the Imaginary Giant to Honkai Beast in front of her, but in the next moment, the giant sword swung by the Imaginary Giant got stuck in the Honkai Beast's body.

Freya shook her head, denying the possibility.

It wasn't because it was stuck, but because there was a force within the Honkai Beast that was gripping the giant sword that was hundreds of meters long.

The reactions within the Honkai Beast also piqued the curiosity of the white-haired girl.

In the dent Void Steel Greatsword, a white-haired man, half- Honkai Beast form, grabbed the sword with his left hand, which was also in Honkai Beast form.

"... How is that possible!"

Freya's eyes widened. Although she couldn't see anything in the darkness, she didn't think her senses were wrong.

No, at this moment, she desperately hoped that her senses were malfunctioning.

However, the man, half- Honkai Beast, tore off some flesh from the side and stuffed it into his mouth. With a forceful grab of his left hand, the giant sword made of Imaginary Power shattered.

It seems the real battle is just beginning...

"Looks like I'll have to fight tooth and nail..."

312. It's okay, it's okay...

Who would have thought that the 8,000-meter-long Deep Sea Giant Beast was just a giant takeout container?

The greatsword, gripped tightly by the beast-like left hand, shattered, scattering orange, white, and black fragments.

Freya looked at Kevin, whose body was half- Honkai Beast, with a troubled expression.

She thought this was a good opportunity.

I just never expected things to turn out this way.

"Ancestor..."

Freya sighed softly. Although her voice could not be heard, the other party clearly understood what she meant.

This battle cannot end prematurely.

It is important to understand that this battle is not only about the fate of their respective organizations, but also represents the fate of the current civilization era.

As the de facto leader of the most powerful organization in the current civilization era, Freya refused to allow her ancestors and other people from the Previous Era to interfere in the development of the current civilization era.

The current civilization welcomes warriors from the Previous Era to fight against the Honkai alongside them.

However, the choice of which path to take in the current civilization era should be decided by the people of the current civilization era. The current civilization era is not a baby that was carefully protected by the Previous Era.

"Wouldn't it be better if I could defeat him easily...?"

Freya felt a little regretful.

She did not want her ancestor to die here.

No matter how much she rejects or hates the other party, on the path of fighting against the Honkai, the other party, as a warrior from the Previous Era, is clearly their senior.

Unlike the World Serpent members she ruthlessly eliminated.

Whether from the perspective of blood ties or the strength possessed by the other party, Freya hoped from the very beginning to establish a cooperative relationship with Kevin to jointly fight against the Honkai.

She's just suppressing the World Serpent.

Incidentally, he also used the World Serpent to trip up his own girl.

Freya had considered completely eliminating the World Serpent Organization, but she never considered eliminating her own ancestor.

With their ancestors missing for 1,500 years, the World Serpent Organization has long been one of the world's biggest scourges.

Freya can be ruthless towards members of World Serpent.

But she still hoped to fight against the Honkai together with her ancestors.

Freya's initial goal in this battle was simply to trade blows and bring her ancestor to the table for negotiations.

All I want is for my ancestor to be half-dead.

If it weren't for her ancestor's weakness, Freya wouldn't have thought of a permanent solution.

As it turns out, it was his own greed that gave his ancestors the chance to turn things around.

At this point, Freya had no choice but to abandon her previous weak ideas.

The alliance between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy could not ultimately keep pace with the World Serpent and work together.

At this moment, Freya unleashed the power of her Holy Blood without reservation, and the enormous Imaginary Giant disintegrated.

"... If only I could appear after I have surpassed you, my Great Ancestor..."

A sigh perfectly captured Freya's helplessness at that moment.

Yes.

Our ancestors were too powerful.

Under his leadership, the World Serpent Organization, which should have been dormant, will reverse its previous decline.

It will further impact the current gradually stabilizing global situation.

The World Serpent without Kevin and the World Serpent with Kevin are two completely different forces.

When Freya opened her eyes again, she could no longer control the boiling holy blood within her. Radiance gathered above her head, forming an angelic halo, and enormous wings of light slowly unfurled behind her, illuminating the entire deep sea...

At that moment, Freya, whose entire body was filled with holiness, transformed into a deity.

The girl in white, who had been secretly observing, was stunned. But then... she sensed two identical forces resonating with the girl's changes, some tens of kilometers away, while the other was extremely distant...

The girl in white felt confused.

"How is this possible?!"

Kevin, whose body had partially Honkai Beast, was equally bewildered by the girl's transformation.

That posture.

That kind of sacredness.

The girl's transformation was naturally very familiar to Kevin.

Or rather, for the past 50,000 years, the figure he has longed for has always looked like this.

At the same time, he also understood why the former Grand Bishop of Schicksal had chosen to cooperate with him.

The other party was clearly worried about this happening.

"The Herrscher of Finality—!!"

The change itself caused the world to change color.

Whether it was Sea Abyss City, dozens of kilometers away, or the fleet and water base on the sea, everyone felt this terrifying aura.

However, Freya, having completed the transformation, did not notice Kevin's emotions.

She floated quietly in the deep sea, receiving the worship of all the Honkai Beast on this planet... The Honkai Beast that should have been fighting the Valkyrie immediately turned around and dived into the sea, while the Honkai Beast entrenched in the ruins on land also began to gather around their 'Queen'...

Freya stood there quietly, unconscious, motionless, and emotionless... she merely glanced at Kevin.

That cold gaze reminded Kevin of the War of Finality fifty thousand years ago.

At this moment, he held nothing back.

It no longer restricts its ability to devour.

Unlike 50,000 years ago, he is now the only warrior left fighting against the Herrscher of Finality.

Unlike 50,000 years ago, the current Herrscher of Finality of the End is weaker than expected, which is to be expected, as the current civilization's Honkai intensity has not yet reached the level that would allow the Herrscher of Finality to descend.

In other words, the Herrscher of Finality has descended now is at his weakest point.

"That's a pleasant surprise."

Kevin hadn't expected Freya to take advantage of his weakness so ruthlessly. Without this super supplement, Kevin felt he would have been in danger.

But when he recovered by devouring the Honkai Beast, the opponent had clearly lost the means to defeat him.

Or rather, the opponent clearly understands that without paying a price, it's impossible to harm them when they're at their peak.

"I won't hold back on your previous declaration... My descendant, no, the Herrscher of Finality, may you die here!"

Kevin smiled.

He never expected to be so lucky.

On the path to fighting against the Honkai, he repeatedly suffers loss...

They lost the ability to embrace their loved ones, lost the feelings of being human, lost the comrades they could entrust their backs to, lost their own era of civilization and their own loved ones.

Then the cycle of loss continues, this time, losing an important companion, losing one's own child, losing the most important friend.

This road, which has been constantly being lost, has also reached its end today.

(What should I sacrifice to defeat the opponent?)

Kevin asked himself this question.

He closed his eyes, absorbing Honkai Energy.

Kevin thought of the girl in front of him who had transformed into the Herrscher of Finality.

In order to stop him, the other party gave up being human... No, it should be said that the other party was not human to begin with, but simply gave up his humanity and gained divinity as Herrscher.

And what about yourself?

Is it possible to abandon being a human being in order to eliminate the other party?

Sure!

When asked his question, Kevin had only one answer.

That is to give everything.

(Everything!)

A searing pain, like flesh being torn apart, swept over me.

But Kevin felt joy at this moment.

After he made his decision.

Instead, a Honkai Beast roared at the strongest apostle of the Honkai.

The ocean currents reversed, dark clouds covered the sky, underwater volcanoes erupted, and the entire planet trembled in the clash of forces.

However, the deified girl's expression remained calm.

She calmly watched her ancestor abandon humanity, unconcerned by his menacing barbs at her. Her expression remained unchanged, like a soulless shell.

"What exactly happened?"

Tesla, inside the Anti-Entropy Ark, expressed his concerns.

Several violent tremors nearly caused Sea Abyss City to sink further.

The sturdy protective shield that was protecting Sea Abyss City was torn in several places by the tremors, forcing the Valkyrie and regular troops in Sea Abyss City to spend a lot of effort cleaning up the mess.

Ryoma, whose arm was in a cast, also frowned.

"I don't know either, but this smell is very unpleasant."

"..."

Tesla, Ryoma, and others could not describe how terrifying the aura surrounding them was.

But Welt knew perfectly well what this aura represented.

He looked flustered and even a little lost. He thought he had no connection with the Honkai Consciousness, but now he seemed to hear a mysterious voice.

"Something terrible has happened, Sister Tesla! Aurora!"
