Chapter 379 Red Cross

“…Heh…”

When two swords of the Great Void, one real and one virtual, fell at the same time, Kevin slowly closed his eyes and stood still.

To those who didn’t know, this was somewhat incredible. After all, it was such a good opportunity to attack. It might not be difficult to hit Mikael hard by attacking from both sides.

But Kevin didn’t do this. He didn’t intend to do this from the beginning.

If time goes back 50,000 years, Kevin feels that the reason for doing so is probably the so-called “do what you should do and don’t do what you shouldn’t do”. Of course, this is just his ridicule of his past self. Even the naive him 50,000 years ago would never give up such an opportunity in a battle.

What’s more, this is not an opportunity that comes easily.

He knows how painful it is for Hua to personally strike this blow - he knew from the beginning that the reason why Hua was willing to join them to fight Mikael was the opposite of his. It’s just that different reasons lead to the same result.

Apart from these, the memories burned by Yu Duchen alone are no less than a torture for people.

He cannot give up this hard-won opportunity, and he has no intention of wasting it.

Or, foolishly launching an attack at this time is a real waste of this opportunity.

Mikael is not a boastful person. He has proved his words with facts several times before - he has directly determined the result by crossing the cause. As long as he can see the eclipse circle when he looks up, he will not die.

Then, even if his head can be perfectly cut off at this time, time will flow back again after two or three breaths, and Mikael will end up unscathed.

No matter what, Mikael is unreasonable enough, and he also has a kind of arrogant sarcasm - come on, I don't even need to use all my strength, you can kill me if you have the ability, come on!

But reality is so unreasonable, so powerless and helpless, and it just wants to take away all people's hopes and step on people's heads twice.

If the stories created by humans still need to talk about some logic, hard work and diligence will definitely get good results, while laziness and selfishness will definitely get bad results. Even if a good person encounters setbacks along the way, it is harmless, and there will always be people who continue to support him to strive for the final victory, and even if the villain wins the previous ninety-nine games, he will eventually be deserted by his friends and relatives in the last battle and get his due reward.

Unfortunately, none of these exist in reality-especially after the thread of fate is completely cut off.

Fate itself does not need to be logical, and the reality without fate does not need to be logical. It is just the sum of a series of random events. No matter how much a person pays, he can't escape the fate of losing everything. Another person may not have to do anything to reap perfection.

Perhaps because of this, people will emphasize logic and cause and effect in the stories they create. Because this is exactly what they want in reality.

As for messages like "I won't let this happen to me" and "I won't let myself face this dilemma", they are essentially just people's escape choices due to their helplessness in facing reality.

That's ridiculous. Reality will not change for the will of a single person. It is something beyond human power. Just like being born rich or poor, male or female, what kind of parents and relatives, when and where you were born, and what kind of personality you have, these are not things that can be shaken by human will. It is even easier for the world to have a disaster befall a person. It may be a simple car accident, or it may be a fall into the water, a gas leak explosion... and so on.

Yes, most people suffer tragedy, hardship and die so suddenly and quietly, just like their birth.

As for those who still want to shout "I won't let this happen to me"...

The more things they can't do in reality, the more they will shout like this, appearing to be very powerful and omnipotent, but this kind of words, apart from deceiving themselves and bringing themselves some false satisfaction, are actually harmful and useless, because these people have not only lost the courage to face the powerless reality, but also the courage to face the setbacks of the characters in their imagination. They just blindly think that they are very strong, so strong that a small blow in the real world can make them completely desperate.

Fortunately, Kevin is not such a person.

He has been sad, he has collapsed, and he has been powerless. With everything he has paid, with everything they have paid, if there is really cause and effect and logic, then they should have had a happy ending.

But it doesn't matter. He cherishes the past. If possible, he certainly wants to change the past, but he is willing to admit that he is powerless. What he wants to do from beginning to end is something he can do.

Correspondingly, when facing people who stand in his way, he also has to eliminate them one by one.

He certainly wanted to say, "I won't let this happen to me," as he drew his sword against his former comrades and family.

But what happened has happened, and this is something beyond his control. He is unwilling and unable to pray for reality to show him mercy.

All he can do, the only thing he can do, is to do his best and pay any price - kill the other party!

"Huh -"

The long breath came out of his chest, and when he opened his eyes, Kevin was no longer in the real world.

Everything around him was bathed in blue light, but it was not the azure blue of the lake and the sky, but a kind of blue that was very familiar in his memory, similar to the light emitted by early computer screens.

These blue light spots gathered into thin threads, and then outlined endless high-rise buildings. Kevin looked at this strange and unusual city cluster, and occasionally found a little familiar building. But if he wanted to think deeply about when and where he had seen it, he couldn't remember it at all.

And this is what the imaginary world looks like in his eyes.

"I'm here."

He nodded slightly, as if talking to himself. But then the space in front of him began to twist and wriggle, and then a deformed crack appeared.

Colorful lights floated in the cracks, and a lot of chaotic voices came out of them, but Kevin seemed to understand, and even greeted him seriously:

"Thank you for your hard work, Prometheus."

"…………"

"Well, No. 17. I know I came a little early, but you should also know the situation outside. Although I still don't know what Mikael wants to do, I must stop him here. This is the only way."

"……"

"I know that the Stigmata Plan has not started yet. Even if you steal the power of the end from Mikael now, I can't bear it. But there is no other choice now. If I can't take the power of time from Mikael, If we don't come out, we will never be able to defeat him."

"………………"

"I know... I know... Once you act at this moment, the 50,000 years of hibernation may become a bubble, and the power and order of the Herrscher's birth will be completely disordered and out of our control. But I have read the information left by Mei. The reason why she wants you to hibernate here is just to transfer the authority of the end to me when needed. As for the so-called fixed order and power of the Herrscher's birth, it is essentially because Mei cannot be sure that the power of the end is only time...

"But this problem no longer exists. Judging from our two battles with Mikael, the power of the end is time. All of Mei's guesses are correct. Even if the cocoon of the end gives birth to projections outside the thirteen planes we are familiar with in the future, it will only cause some minor troubles. From a macro perspective, it has no effect on the final outcome. But if you can continue to hibernate by chance, it will naturally be the best result."

"Okay... I will... try my best to... survive... you... too."

"Yeah. "

Kevin slowly closed his eyes, and the cracks in front of him closed as well, as if nothing had happened, as if Kevin had just come here and chatted with an old acquaintance.

But he knew that was not the case, and he could feel that it was not the case.

Something had indeed changed.

That was the ownership of the authority that originally belonged to the end. It did not fall into Kevin's hands as expected, because the Stigmata Plan had not been implemented at all, and Kevin could not bear such authority.

Of course, it was not immutable. The fire thief who had been dormant for 50,000 years could not pass on the stolen torch. To Kevin, but it can leave it vacant.

Thus, the power of time and the authority of the end were stripped from the end itself and became ownerless.

And this is the opportunity that Kevin has created, the greatest effort he can make!

When he opened his eyes again, Mikael in front of him suddenly knelt on the ground with one hand on his forehead and the other hand on his chest, gasping for breath. And ten steps in front of him, Ling Shuang was covered with dozens of sword wounds, with a head of white hair scattered on her body, but she still held Hua, who fainted after using up the first rated power of Yu Duchen, tightly in her arms.

"Thank you, you can take her away. The next thing is left to me. "

Kevin's voice passed through Mikael's body and reached Ling Shuang's ears. The girl's eyes condensed, and she looked at Kevin deeply, and then she took Hua away from the battlefield without hesitation.

"Huh...Huh...Huh..."

Mikael groaned in pain, stretched out his left hand and fumbled around on the ground, and finally grasped the red spear again, stood it up, and then supported it to stand up again.

But how could all this be so easy to do? Mentally traumatized, and almost at the same time lost the power of the end, Mikael was still very powerful at this time, but under the huge gap, he was as fragile as a baby.

Kevin walked behind him step by step, and put the heavy and hot blade of Jiemie on his neck.

"It's over, Mikael. "

After he finished speaking, he did not act in a hurry, but looked up at the sky.

The sky was still dark, and the eclipse ring was still hanging high above his head.

"One, two, three..."

Kevin counted silently in his heart. The moment he counted to three, the moon that originally lay between the earth and the sun began to move again. One side of the eclipse ring began to become thicker, while the other side gradually disappeared, and soon it changed from a ring to a half-moon shape, which now looked more like night.

But in the final analysis, the eclipse ring has not dissipated after all, and he cannot judge whether Mikael's so-called cause and effect are still effective. If he beheaded Mikael while he was weak at this moment, and the so-called cause and effect of Mikael was not completely eliminated, it would be tantamount to creating unnecessary trouble.

But if he waited until the eclipse completely dissipated, it would probably take another ten minutes, which was enough time for Mikael to recover and adapt to the sudden decrease in strength.

Although after depriving the opponent of the ultimate power and time, Kevin believed that both sides were qualified to fight on an equal footing.

But considering that Mikael may still have the power of the thirteen Herrschers, and that the red spear has not shown any special power except for its extreme toughness, Kevin still dare not take it lightly.

However, in fact, this problem can be easily solved. It's just that it's so easy that it's a bit cruel... But for Kevin, what does it mean to be cruel? Sacrifice all the humans in this world in exchange for a victory that brings nothing but victory. Is the Stigmata plan cruel?

He also unswervingly walks on the path he thinks is right. For this reason, what is cruelty? No matter how cruel it is, can it be compared to the Stigmata Project?

For everything he wanted to achieve, he first gave up everything he still had, including friendship, dignity, honor, and mercy.

He no longer hesitated, swung his sword, and cut off Mikael's limbs at the root. The flames of destruction first "welded" all the flesh and blood in the wound section, and Parfanti's ice and snow followed one after another, using low temperature to seal the wound. Cell activity stagnates. In just two or three breaths, Mikael became a veritable "human stick". And he himself was even immersed in the huge gap caused by the final power being stripped away, and he did not feel the pain or react in any way.

"The following words..."

Looking up at the black shadow in the sky again, Kevin quickly had a plan for the next step.

He lifted Mikael's collar, and the next moment, the light and shadow around him began to reverse. When he came back to his senses, he was already in another place that was even darker and lightless.

When I raised my head, the blue planet hung above my head, just out of reach.

"Tsk, Kevin, I knew you would do this."

"What!"

Kevin looked at Mikael in his hands in disbelief. His current appearance was somewhat terrifying and pitiful, but he didn't seem to care. This made Kevin wonder if he hadn't noticed the loss of his hands and feet, or perhaps ...Is this just a trap from beginning to end?

"Is there any surprise? Kevin, that sentence is on your lips every day - a person's character is his destiny. I know you well enough. Although I cannot predict every detail of the future, I want to It’s so easy to anticipate where you’re going in the general framework.”

"What do you mean?"

"Should you put me down before you say this?"

In surprise, Kevin unconsciously let go of his hand and took two steps back.

Mikael slowly landed on the ground under the pull of the moon's gravity. The whole "human stick" shook like a tumbler, but before he could speak, he grinned.

"Uh, you..."

"Don't talk yet, my balls hurt..."

In fact, the two of them had no verbal communication from beginning to end. After all, the oxygen shield on the back of the moon had been broken 50,000 years ago. Even if they spoke in an environment with almost no air, the sound would not be transmitted to each other's ears through vibration.

From beginning to end, it was actually just Mikael using the power of consciousness to communicate with Kevin.

"Okay, Kevin, so far, you have won. However, even if you lose the final authority, you may not win me. Let's have the final battle!"

A purple cross-shaped beam of light rose from the ground and penetrated the distance of 380,000 kilometers between the earth and the moon in an instant. Kevin's body kept retreating in the shock wave. He finally stabilized, but what he saw was a A tall figure nearly 10,000 meters tall.

The existence in front of him was no different from Mikael in terms of facial features, except that his naked skin was pale, so white that it didn't have any other colors. He also looked like a "human stick" at first, but the tissue in his limbs that almost didn't look like flesh and blood began to squirm, and everything that was lost was restored in the blink of an eye.

After that, he held his right hand to his side, and a flash of red light flew from the earth to his palm, and quickly spiraled into a red spear that was as tall as him.

And his voice kept echoing in Kevin's mind:

"Step forward, Kevin! This is yours and mine, the final battle!"

"Just what I wanted!"

Kevin let out a long breath and quickly closed his eyes. His heart, which had been enveloped and eroded by layers of unknown black power, suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light.

Another white beam of light penetrated the world, and the new life that stepped out of the beam looked like a humanoid Honkaiju. He has a white-gray exoskeleton with purple lines spreading all over his body, and the big sword that can burn everything has turned into a huge spear at this time. There are spear heads on both sides of the gun handle. The shape is exactly the same as the Skyfire Great Sword.

The two stared at each other in the void for a long time. After a while, Mikael lowered his head and looked at himself, unable to see even an inch of his body. He didn't feel any shame at all. At the same time, his voice sounded in Kevin's mind again:

"Kevin, between the two of us, I seem to be the more human."

What responded to him was not any words, but red flames burning in the cold universe.

Immediately after the flames hit Mikael, the sky fire transformed again and formed a huge chain hammer.

This is destined to be a battle with no witnesses, no result, and no meaning.

For the two humans present who were no longer human, this battle was by no means the "last battle" as Mikael said.

However, it would be too arbitrary to say that there were no witnesses. Twelve thousand meters above the back of the moon, there was something that was rarely seen, coldly watching the battle between two beings that could destroy the world.

It was a trace of the end of the world 50,000 years ago, and it was also a red cross that did not match the size of Mikael today.

I misread the unit before, and the size of the two naked men was calculated incorrectly, which has been corrected
