Chapter 331 For the One I Love

Chapter 331 For the one I love...

"Hit!"

Velvet patted the console lightly, but her expression didn't seem very excited.

"I'm sorry, Hua..."

At that moment, no one had time to save Hua. They could only use the Moonlight Throne to try. I don’t know how Hua is doing now?

But I couldn’t care less about that.

"Tch! Next time, I must remember to install an air conditioner... No, why don't I install the Moonlight Throne and the Key of the Fifth God together? Or just make Kevin the core of the Moonlight Throne..."

The space inside the engine is already small, and because the Moonlight Throne is running at full power, extremely high temperatures suddenly accumulate. Velvet wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered to herself while typing the code with her hands. As the Enter key was pressed, the Moonlight Throne engine began to cool down rapidly.

"May, how's Mikael's Honkai reaction going? Has it dropped a lot?"

Around Mikael, a large amount of heat energy escaped, completely distorting the nearby light and shadow, and people could only see an abstract color. But this is enough. This at least proves that the Moonlight Throne hit the target perfectly and achieved the effect of converting Honkai energy.

However, Mei didn't seem to show any emotional fluctuations from beginning to end, so that Velvet looked at the light and shadow distorted by the heat a few more times, fearing that she had seen it wrong.

"Not very good."

Mei finally spoke. She wasn't pretending to be serious, she was just waiting for the energy meter index to stabilize.

"Uh... what do you mean not very good? How much energy was converted by Mikael? Twenty percent? Or ten percent?"

"No...only, two percent."

After the words fell, the light and shadow distorted by the heat energy quickly stretched and straightened, returning to normal. And Mikael just stood there, unchanged.

Well...except there's an extra person in front of me.

"Kevin..."

Mikael silently grabbed the spear behind him that had never been used once before, thought about it, and inserted it back into the moon soil.

Correspondingly, Kevin also inserted the skyfire sword, which was constantly dancing with flames, into the ground at his feet. His lips were pursed into a line, and his brows were furrowed inward, but there was no sparkle in those blue eyes, nor any emotion that could be called human.

The wind flowed again on the airless back of the moon, making the flames on the sword and the hem of the coat rustle together.

"What, are you finally getting serious?"

Mikael snorted.

Kevin did not answer directly. Rather than asking and answering questions, it is better to say that the two of them said their own things:

"I don't care what you want to do, but I know what I should do - beat you here, or be killed by you here."

Mikael's brows wrinkled and then relaxed, he bent his knees, and suddenly kicked the Ninth God Key at his feet backwards like a ball.

Dozens of kilometers away, Su Xin, who had just pulled out the Sixth God's Key from the body that had been burnt to ashes for a thousand tribulations, felt something. He instinctively turned his body to one side, and the Ninth God's Key almost brushed against his body. The braid passed by and fell not far from his side.

"It's so courageous to say something."

Mikael nodded in approval and raised the corners of his mouth twitchingly:

"It's just that it's too outrageous——"

Mikael's pupils suddenly shrank, and the next moment, his chest sunk without warning, his cheeks bulged outward, and blood spurted out from his mouth.

Before it was over, a blood line suddenly appeared on the skin of his right arm, and then the entire right arm fell to the ground silently.

His knees bent downward, and his whole body seemed to have been flattened by a slap from the top of his head. The bones were squeezed together, and some sharp joints even broke through the skin and poked out, making him even shorter in height.

In an instant, no one could figure out what happened, as if Mikael suddenly fell into a dying situation.

"What...what is this? A side effect of being hit by the Moonlight Throne?"

The change happened so suddenly. It’s unclear whether Mikael expected it, but Kevin, Mei, and Velvet obviously didn’t expect this to happen.

"No, it shouldn't be the Moonlight Throne. The Moonlight Throne is a pure energy conversion engine. Even if it works, it only converts Honkai energy into heat energy. It won't cause such specific damage..."

"Is it invisible?"

But this weird scene did happen, as if a completely invisible person gave Mikael three heavy blows without everyone knowing.

However, apart from the power of wind, no one can think of any other "invisibility" method, but that method cannot cover up the overflowing Honkai energy. Moreover, the only person present who controls the power of wind is Mikael himself. .

So what is this?

"Wait a minute, Mei, I have some suspicions."

Mikael was trapped in place by this sudden injury and could not move. The expression on his face kept changing, as fast as turning the pages of a photo frame by frame.

Logically speaking, this was a good opportunity to attack, but Kevin didn't rush forward. Of course he longs for victory. At this point, a victory obtained by dishonorable means is naturally a victory. However, things happened too coincidentally and too strangely. Without being able to figure out the principle, Kevin would rather put it away. Think of it as Mikael's strategy to lure the enemy, and you can't take risks.

He did not hesitate to die, or in other words, he only wanted to die. But as the last hope of mankind, he cannot easily ruin all this.

And Mikael's injuries were healing at an incredible but visible speed - the depression in his chest quickly bulged back, the gushing blood began to flow back, his right arm floated up and returned to its original path, his body began to grow taller again, and the protruding bone spurs shrank back.

Even if he wanted to attack now, it was too late to do so, so he might as well analyze the principle of this phenomenon and explore the possibility of replicating it.

Of course, this is based on the fact that everything is not difficult to guess--

"Obviously, there are three injuries in total. The feeling of the depression in the chest is consistent with the attack when he created this basin himself. Although I don't know what the second injury on the right arm is, only Ying can do such a fast and accurate knife technique. As for the third one... except for Kosmo after the collapse, I can't imagine who else can do it."

"Hmm? You mean, the first one is the "feedback" given to Mikael by Su's causal wheel, and the other two are the injuries left by Ying and Kosmo?"

Mei easily figured out Kevin's subtext.

"Well, but the problem is, these injuries that should have appeared on Mikael in the past, why..."

"I understand!"

Mei tapped her knuckles lightly on the table three times. In this way, it is not difficult to guess the principle of Mikael's means of avoiding attacks. If it is an attack that the imaginary barrier cannot block in time or cannot block, he is likely to use the power of time to transfer the injuries that should have been borne immediately to a period of time later.

But... why did it break out at this time? Is it a simple coincidence, that is, the time to transfer the injuries has come, or is it the impact of the Moonlight Throne's previous almost "useless" attack?

Since there is no conclusive evidence, if from the perspective of rigorous scientific analysis, Mei cannot provide any proof, but she believes in the latter situation more.

It is not a selective belief, but a very simple logical problem-

It has been less than two hours since the start of the war, and even the charging of the Second God Key will take more than ten minutes to complete. For the end who can turn the time back to before the beginning of civilization, is it necessary for him to risk affecting the subsequent battles and transfer the injuries to such a short time later?

Let alone two hours, why not five hours or one day? For the end that can reincarnate for tens of thousands of years, these differences are also negligible, right?

Unless Mikael's brain is not working well.

As for what kind of changes did the Moonlight Throne engine cause to Mikael's body, so that the injuries that should have appeared later appeared earlier? Mei has a rough guess. Time is an unreasonable power, which is true, but because of this, its existence in the real world with perfect laws is quite fragile-just like the thin ice on the river in early spring.

Although the Moonlight Throne only converted 2% of the Honkai energy in Mikael's body into heat energy, the change of this part of energy occurred in an instant. Moreover, although it seems to be a small proportion, the actual energy converted is equivalent to more than a hundred times the total energy consumed by Mikael in the previous one-hour battle.

So, if we look at the actual amount, the fluctuation caused by this energy conversion is not small.

It was as if someone threw a pebble at the thin ice. The pebble was no different from a drop in the ocean for the whole river, but it was enough to smash the ice into pieces, or at least cause fine cracks to appear on a large piece of ice.

Thus, the balance of the power of time in the real world was broken, and the cause and effect that was originally postponed by the power of time happened ahead of time.

Of course, all this was Mei's conjecture. Perhaps the principles were completely different, but was there a difference?

The Moonlight Throne had only one ability, which was to convert the collapse energy into heat energy. There was no other possibility.

Of course, there was indeed a gamble in this, but humans had reached this point and there was no room for hesitation.

According to this hypothesis, Mei soon had the prototype of a brand new battle plan in her mind.

However, Mikael should also be alert, so he must go one step further than before--

"Vilvi, lift the power limit of the Moonlight Throne, and then fire at my command."

"Got it."

Vilvi rarely gave such a concise and unpretentious response. She knew very well what lifting the power limit of the Moonlight Throne engine meant to her.

But... no one had a choice.

Moreover, in the middle of the basin, Mikael had recovered as before. No one could have imagined that he was still in a miserable state of dying three seconds ago.

"Huh..."

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a very strange feeling. He obviously couldn't control time, but he felt that the flow of time was extremely slow at this moment.

Closing his eyes and feeling his heartbeat, he could imagine more and more dark blood rushing to his heart until it completely wrapped and corroded the hot beating heart--

Everything went smoothly as never before. Perhaps, this was also the first time he had fought without distraction from beginning to end.

What was he fighting for? To protect Mei? To save some people? Or to save a civilization?

No, there is no need to consider all these. At this moment, he only knows one thing, he only knows what he should do -

Fight! Either return victorious or die in defeat!

"Kevin, I need you to deliver a blow that Mikael can't block with his imaginary barrier, please!"

In a trance, Mei's voice came vaguely, Kevin did not respond, and Mei did not need a verbal response.

The flames on the Skyfire Great Sword were extinguished in an instant, and the blue-frost cold air surged endlessly from Kevin's body, almost freezing the God Key.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes and raised his head. Among the dim features, only a pair of eyes exuded a faint blue light.

He took a step forward, and the broken hair on his forehead swayed slightly. It seemed that in just one frame, there was a black cross star between his bangs. Two horns surged out from the top of his head. Black claws, The arm spikes, the black flesh wings growing out of the torn left shoulder, and the long tail completely declared that he had broken away from the definition of "human".

But his changes were not limited to himself. As the coldness around him climbed, the Seventh God's Key, known for its "destruction", gradually dimmed and was almost frozen. But at this moment, it seemed to feel the thoughts of the holder. Its temperature was rising steadily, and a series of red crystals precipitated on the originally neatly contoured sword.

"Jie Deter... No, it's not enough!"

Dark blood surged out from Kevin's wrist and quickly flowed into the core of the Seventh Herrscher along the hilt of the sword.

The dark blood wrapped around the long-dead core like a thread, and then, it was completely connected to Kevin's heart, and it beat together with Kevin's heart.

The calamity changed again. This time, it could barely maintain the outline of the sword. The sword head bent out to both sides, forming a double fork similar to the spear in Mikael's hand. Dark corrosion also spread on the sword.

As a result, the Seventh God's Key came to life completely, but in another way.

The blazing flames that once were gone forever are now hot and cold at the same time, weird and dangerous.

"This is...the last battle!"

As soon as the words fell, Kevin's figure rushed directly in front of Mikael. Wherever the blazing sword tip touched, no imaginary barrier could survive even a tenth of a second.

"Um?"

Mikael's brows wrinkled and then relaxed quickly.

Because Kevin's seemingly unstoppable blow finally stopped in front of the last layer of imaginary number barrier.

The hard expansion was like a plastic film that sunk inward, as if it would be pierced by a hot sword the next moment, but after Mikael stretched out his hands to reinforce it, the barrier was finally stabilized.

"Kevin, is this all you can do?"

"snort!"

Kevin leaned forward, maintaining a forceful posture so that his facial features were facing down and his face was unclear.

But when he raised his head, Mikael saw a sneer on his lips.

"Creak - creak - creak -"

The sound of stiff chewing sounded, and Mikael turned his head to look to the side and behind in disbelief, only to see a monster that had shrunk to the size of a baby, without even a lower body, chewing the imaginary barrier at the same time, and himself in its hands. of a leg.

"Kosma!"

"Click——"

The last imaginary number barrier made a crisp sound, and then exploded overwhelmed.

At the critical moment, Mikael turned his body to dodge, and then his arm suddenly turned into a thread attached to the power of space, giving Kosmo the final blow.

But Kevin was too fast to make unnecessary movements, and rushed thousands of meters away in the blink of an eye. He condensed a huge ice wall on his impact route. He jumped up and stepped on the ice wall. The huge impact caused the entire ice wall to shatter instantly, but it had completed its mission and gave This gives Kevin the possibility of a counterattack.

"Mikael!!!"

"whispering sound!"

The corners of Mikael's mouth twitched, and he picked up the spear beside him with his backhand and rushed towards Kevin without hesitation.

"puff--"

There was no fancy explosion. The flaming sword head pierced Mikael's heart, and the red spear tip also pierced Kevin's heart. The two of them stirred their weapons against each other, and at the same time they were going crazy from the severe pain. The ground roared meaninglessly.

"Haaahhhhhh!!!"

Suddenly, Kevin stopped turning the hilt of the sword, and instead sent all the Honkai energy in his body into the God Key——

"Skyfire—unsheath!"

"boom!"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Kevin's legs and feet went weak. Even with the support of the God Key, he still fell to his knees in pain. The dark blood scabbed quickly under the traction of Honkai energy, but recovery from the injury was not that easy.

"Did I succeed? Mei...did I succeed?"

The blow just now kicked up a large amount of smoke and dust, completely blocking his sight and unable to be dissipated for a while, but what Kevin could be sure of was that there was nothing in front of him, and there was no trace of Mikael at all. Logically speaking, he should be happy. Not seeing Mikael means that the attack he just made... was successful, right?

But he couldn't be happy...

If he did kill Mikael, it wouldn't be something to be happy about at all.

But he felt even more that he failed to do it - because in the spiritual communication network, he did not hear the cheers of Mei and the others.

Instead, there was the sound of rapid and deep breathing.

"What happened?"

After he asked this question, almost ten breaths passed before he heard Mei say with a deep sense of powerlessness:

"Kevin...he is right in front of you."

"before?"

Kevin once again looked at the space in front of him, which was empty.

Suddenly, he found that the light and shadow around him were a little dim. Before he had time to think, a strong wind blew past, and the smoke and dust disappeared instantly, even Kevin was almost blown away.

And when he finally realized something and raised his head suddenly, what he saw was...

A familiar white figure.

A huge white figure.

The white halo condensed into a crown above his head, and above it, the fine black and red light circles quickly replaced the entire universe within the visible range.

The golden light gushed out from his shoulders, with a hint of blood, and finally condensed into three pairs of open light wings behind him.

Then, the blood-red cross-shaped pupil stared at Kevin, as if staring at the entire planet.

If the earth in front of him is still like an apple, which needs to be held with one hand, then the moon in front of him is only the size of an egg.

"Gulp..."

Kevin swallowed hard, he knew that all his efforts were probably in vain.

"Kevin... retreat... we have no chance of winning."

Kevin, who was facing the end, knew this clearly.

But...

"No!"

He refused flatly.

"You use the Second God Key to leave first, I'll cover you, otherwise no one can leave!"

"Kevin! I..."

"Stop talking, otherwise none of us can leave."

"No, Kevin, it will take another five minutes to charge the Second God Key."

"...Then it seems... we have no choice but to give it a try. Mei, is your previous plan still useful?"

Mei did not answer. It was definitely useful, but she was not sure what effect it would have.

"But, Kevin, you just used the Holy Fire Judgment, you have no chance! And your body, your injuries..."

No, there is more!

Kevin held the sword with both hands, and the skin that was originally wrapped in black blood actually had a layer of gray-white shell, which looked like a Honkai beast!

But as he stood up, both the gray-white shell and the black blood rushed into the Seventh God Key frantically.

Even the impurities in the shell of the greatsword flowed back to the core in the form of energy, until the core was filled again and again, and finally almost exploded.

On the screen in front of Mei, the output power of the Seventh God Key soared all the way. When Kevin turned back into the appearance of an ordinary boy, when the God Key also shed all the impurities and restored the appearance of Jiemie, the output power remained at 400%.

"The devil enters the abyss, saves the world... draw the sword!"

He pulled Jiemie up from the ground and stood it in front of him.

All the power in his body was drained away, his vision was dark, his consciousness was drowsy, and he almost forgot why he was standing here.

In a trance, he saw Mei standing in front of him, turned around, and smiled at him.

So he also unconsciously smiled happily.

"Mei... this strike is not for anything else... just...

"For the one I love..."
