Chapter 186

[Description: An entity capable of producing an endless supply of instant noodles, whose noodles are impeccable in both color and taste. This is especially meant to comfort someone who has been wandering the Sea of Quanta for a long time, unable to even afford a single bite of instant noodles.]

Kevin: "..."

The Infinity Instant Noodle Machine landed in front of him. Kevin stared intently at the device, then glanced at the system's description, feeling somewhat offended.

Undeniably, he has been wandering alone for a thousand years since he was sealed at the bottom of the Sea of Quanta by Su.

Not only is my strength lacking, but I haven't even had instant noodles in a long time.

Looking at the familiar recipe in front of him reminded Kevin of the days Team Building with the Flame-Chasers Fifty Thousand Years.

Pardofelis: "Why do I feel a little sorry for Boss Kevin for some reason? Has Boss Kevin not had instant noodles in a long time?"

Kiana: "Pardo, you know Kevin's trapped in the Sea of Quanta, where would he get instant noodles?"

Elysia: "That sounds so pitiful, Kevin! You've suffered so much all these years."

Kevin: "... It's not that bad."

Pardofelis: "Waaaah, Boss Kevin, you're so pitiful! Why didn't you stock up on more instant noodles before you were sealed away?!"

It was truly heartbreaking to hear, and brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it.

Pardo has made up her mind. She's going to stock up on all sorts of instant noodles in the store and sell them all to Boss Kevin when he gets back!

Kiana: "Su, when you sealed Kevin away, why didn't you think of having him take some instant noodles with him?"

Su: "Uh..."

You people have such strange focus. When he sealed Kevin away, he used every trick in the book.

If Kevin hadn't gone easy on him, he probably would have been the one sealed away.

However, at this moment, when the topic of instant noodles came up, Su did feel a little guilty, after all, he had let Kevin wander in the Sea of Quanta for more than a thousand years.

I haven't had any instant noodles yet.

In the scene, Kevin stands in place, waiting from day to night, until the night sky is covered and the stars form a picture, arranged in the middle.

In a secluded corner of this Elysian Realm, rarely noticed by others, Kevin finally met the person who extended the invitation to him.

"..."

A strange sound came from the other end, as if it had been coded to ensure that only Kevin could hear it.

So, Elysia, she really is dead.

"..."

The other person's tone changed, becoming cautious and hesitant, completely different from before.

"If that's indeed the case, then this is the only way. How confident are you?"

"..."

How confident are you?

The other party's answer was ambiguous, so Kevin had to repeat his question.

Probability, the probability of success, is a prerequisite for him to consider whether to execute a plan, and it is the cornerstone for ensuring that the plan is worth executing.

Therefore, he needs to know just how confident the other party is in their plan.

"..."

"I understand, Yicheng." Kevin's expression turned serious. "With only a 10% chance of success, you still want us to put our only sword on the table?"

Chapter 302 Putting the Only Chip into the Gun

["..."

The person on the other end of the communication explained at length, seemingly demonstrating the reliability and uniqueness of her plan, or perhaps discussing other options with Kevin.

"No, I promise."

Kevin shook his head.

"It's obvious that the other plans can't even reach one-tenth of that level."

The shocking reply came from the other end of the communication, where the person's tone changed again, turning into laughter.

She was very pleased with Kevin's answer.

"..."

"Of course I know that the real me still exists in reality, and if it were him, he would surely refuse such a gamble."

Kevin crossed his arms and said seriously.

"But I am not him! The long years he carried alone do not belong to me either!"

The long night had fallen, and in this desolate and anxious night, Kevin made his decision.

He is not the original Kevin, nor does he bear the responsibility of an era. Now, he is willing to put himself in the chamber of a gun to gamble on that less than one in ten chance of victory!

Pardofelis: "Waaah, Boss Kevin, you're so amazing! Even knowing it was suicide, you still fought your way through for us. I'm so touched, waaaah!"

Bronya: "Pardo, do you really understand what Kevin is doing? Getting emotional right here?"

Pardo: "I don't know."

Kevin: "..."

Everyone was speechless. If you know nothing, what are you getting so emotional about?

Pardofelis: "Although I don't know what Boss Kevin's plan is, one thing is undeniable: he's definitely going to face that terrible killer alone to save us!"

Let's analyze the conversation again, taking into account the fact that Kevin will die.

It's quite obvious that Kevin agreed to someone's plan, gambling on a less than 10% chance of success.

In Pardo's eyes, this was Kevin, who, in order to protect his companions, faced an invincible enemy alone, fought his way out alone, and was then isolated and helpless, and was secretly murdered by that villain!

Kiana: "Your analysis... actually makes a lot of sense."

Pardofelis: "Waaaaah, Boss Kevin, you died so tragically, Boss Kevin!"

Kevin: "..."

Pardofelis: "Boss Kevin, I was wrong! I'll give you all the instant noodles I stocked up on for free, as a free send-off for Boss Kevin!"

Cat took out all the instant noodles she had been collecting from the store, counted them, and found there were more than twenty flavors. She arranged them neatly on the shelf.

She wanted to see Boss Kevin off; this was Pardo's greatest show of sincerity!

Elysia: "What a thoughtful Pardo, Kevin. Aren't you touched?"

Kevin: "..."

He dared not move an inch; he felt a heavy weight pressing on his chest, a feeling he couldn't shake.

But Pardo has always been like this, and Kevin has no way to deal with her.

Sakura: "What kind of enemy could make Kevin say that the chances of winning are less than 10%?"

Fu Hua: "This... I really don't have a clue right now."

That's impossible. It's not like it's the Finality and they're trying to clean up the mess. Where would such a powerful enemy come from?

Besides, it's not some Previous Era Elysian Realm, nor is it reality. It's a space used to store Memory Body, almost completely isolated from the outside world.

Even if Honkai is just bored and has nothing better to do, why would they cause trouble in the Previous Era Elysian Realm?

Kiana: "Gray Serpent, could it be that you World Serpent are causing trouble outside of the Previous Era Elysian Realm?"

If the Gray Serpent were to attack the Previous Era Elysian Realm from the outside, it would indeed be possible for the Memory Body to be helpless.

Gray Serpent: "The Previous Era Elysian Realm is a very important place to us, and the World Serpent has always held the utmost reverence for Flame-Chasers."

Bronya: "That's strange. So, the key point still has to be who can kill Kevin? Besides, Kevin's behavior is also a bit abnormal."

The Memory Body is a backup of the Flame-Chasers synchronized in the Previous Era Elysian Realm at a certain time. Under normal circumstances, the choices they make should not differ much from the originals.

For example, Mobius is the best example.

While the Memory Body was betraying the main body, the main body had been planning to betray the Memory Body for a long time.

That's pushing things to their limits.

Elysia: "Abnormal? Not at all. Or rather, Memory Body did was the choice that Kevin, as we know him, would make."

Bronya: "What do you mean?"

Elysia: "The wear and tear and sedimentation brought by time... after the Finality, most of the mission of the Previous Era fell on Kevin's shoulders."

Elysia: "The immense pressure caused a huge psychological shift in Kevin; many decisions were no longer a matter of whether he wanted to or not."

That's why it's said that the Kevin Memory Body that dared to place its hopes on that remaining 10% probability is more like the Kevin that the Flame-Chasers know.

He did not experience what Kevin went through afterward; both his memories and personality remained at the moment of their last synchronization.

Kevin: "... Maybe."

Kevin nodded, offering no further explanation.

He stared blankly at the Memory Body in the image, the one who dared to gamble their only chance of winning, only to have less than a one-in-ten chance of success.

Perhaps Elysia was right; he was purer that way, his heart pounding with passion, not yet cold from the passage of time.

The scene shows Su transferring Chakravartin to the Sumeru World-Bubble, with the Flame-Chasers gathered together, discussing their next move.

"If Memory Body kills another, can the other Memory Body actually disappear completely?"

Raiden Mei sighed and asked solemnly.

"No, based on the architecture of the Previous Era Elysian Realm, corrupted data should be quickly restored from the most recent backup, and the memory loss should not even take more than five seconds."

Su shook her head.

Unfortunately, this has never happened before, and it is still unknown whether there has been any deviation or human interference.

"So, what should we do next?"

Raiden Mei frowned. "You and Kevin are old acquaintances. Has he said anything to you privately before?"

"That's why things turned out this way; he entrusted something to me before."

"Entrusted? Sue, we met Kevin together before, that time he..."

"Yes, I only just remembered now that back then, when he last entrusted these things to me, I was preparing to do something."

Su nodded, and the familiar white light reappeared, engulfing Su and Hua together.

"Su, Hua?"

Raiden Mei stood frozen in place. At the same time, the strange phenomenon in the distance finally descended from the sky, the information that the Flame-Chasers had been waiting for.

Its arrival weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, like the final weight of cold iron.

Chapter 303 After Kevin's death, who stood up?

A piece of paper with writing on it gently landed in Raiden Mei's hand, but when Raiden Mei saw what was written on it, she felt an immense weight in her heart.

"This is impossible..."

The densely packed handwriting on the paper bore a chilling resemblance to the original.

Raiden Mei's first impression was to reject this absurd fact.

Regardless of the fact that she had never heard of the typewriter being repaired, the contents of the paper were enough to make it hard to believe.

"A person's destiny is a reflection of their character."

When Su recalled the scene of the last time she was entrusted with something, this old cliché came to mind.

His recollections even drifted back Fifty Thousand Years to the moment when the farewell needle was first placed.

"Su, Hua, I'm entrusting the rest to you. This is our last chance before things go wrong."

"I must risk my life for this."

--Different from last time.

"If one day, pulling the trigger on me like this could save most people... Kevin, what would you do?"
