Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

It was beautiful, but it was not his view.

As soon as he stepped into the central square of Klipper Castle, Kevin saw from afar Bronya, who had walked in earlier, arguing with a girl who was half a head shorter than her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bronya, but Lady Cocolia did say that there's no need to report such things to her. She has her own judgment on this matter."

The blue-haired girl of not-so-perfect height held a book in one hand and gently pushed the frame of her glasses with the other hand, and spoke truthfully.

"But Pella, you should be well aware that the casualties on the front line are heavy and the situation is not optimistic at all. Especially on the northeastern front, gaps that are difficult to fill have begun to appear."

"[Silvermane Archer Fire Team, move forward 20 meters]... How can there be such a ridiculous tactical measure?! We are not suitable for direct combat with the Rift Creatures. Every Silvermane Iron Guard is a living being, but those monsters are endless."

"It's just about returning the wartime command of the troops to the Silver Mane Guard. Mother isn't the kind of person who covets power, so how could she not agree?"

Bronya didn't want to see and didn't believe such a result. She tried to confirm with the girl again and again, but the answer she got in the end never changed.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bronya. I did submit the report truthfully, but Lady Cocolia did refuse to hand over the command."

As the "Great Guardian", Kokolia certainly has the power to command the Silver Mane Guard's combat strategy, and people are willing to believe that she does have such ability. But it is also a fact that the Silver Mane Guard has suffered heavy casualties in recent battles.

However, facing these facts, most people also think that - after all, the "Great Guardian" is not on the battlefield, and she is eager to win, so she made such a radical command strategy...

But for Kevin, who knew about Cocolia's intentions and plans, this move was most likely for another unknown purpose - to weaken Beloberg's defense as much as possible, so as to ensure that she would have less help in implementing her plan in the end...

But in the end, all of this is a choice made by this civilization itself, isn't it?

Kevin waited until the argument between the two was almost fruitless before he chose to step forward and asked softly, "I'm sorry to interrupt your discussion. I'm going to stay in Beloberg temporarily recently, but before that, I would like to ask you to take me to the place where the Rift Corrosion occurred in the city to observe it."

Kevin certainly would not simply listen to other people's descriptions of what the so-called Rift was like. Instead, he preferred to observe it firsthand.

"What? Have you reached an agreement with the Mother... the 'Great Guardian' and are you ready to help us solve our problems, Mr. Kaslana?"

Bronya had never seen anyone who could use special abilities to easily deal with nearly a hundred Rift Creatures. As an outsider, Kevin naturally represented more unknowns and possibilities.

But unfortunately, Kevin couldn't give her any promises.

"I am just an outsider. I cannot decide the future of Beloberg, and you should not pin your hopes on me."

Without directly answering Bronya's question, Kevin just gave this ambiguous reply.

Bronya certainly couldn't understand Kevin's thoughts, but she had known the principle of self-reliance since she was a child. She didn't ask Kevin for anything, but she didn't ignore his request either.

"I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn... Pella, please take this gentleman to the defense line on the commercial street. I have to go see my mother again."

Judging from the fact that she was not addressing him as "Great Guardian" but as "mother", Bronya was definitely not as calm as she appeared.

That’s right, isn’t this the best characteristic of young people?

As Bronya walked away quickly, the girl beside her solemnly introduced herself to Kevin: "Hello, Mr. Kaslana. I am the Silver Mane Guard intelligence officer, Pelageya Sergeyevna. You can just call me Pella."

"Kevin Kaslana."

After a brief self-introduction, Kevin suddenly asked, "Is the 'Great Guardian' Bronya's biological mother?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Although she was a little confused, Pyra answered honestly, "Although there is no written rule, in fact, every 'Great Guardian' has devoted his time completely to Beloberg and has never married. And the next 'Great Guardian' has always been selected from children of appropriate age."

"Perhaps it is precisely because he is the best that the successive 'Great Guardians' have been able to build Beloberg better and better."

This was probably just a casual compliment, but it inevitably made Kevin think of a lot.

The best? No, everyone has something they are good at. And looking at the entire civilization, everyone is equal.

No one has more heavy things to bear than anyone else.

Chapter 6: A Beautiful Home Run

"That's enough, Mr. Kaslana. If we go any further, we will enter the influence area of ​​the Rift."

"Based on the Silver Mane Guards' long-term experience in fighting against creatures from the Rift, ordinary humans will continue to be eroded as long as they are in the Rift, and it is not impossible that they will eventually turn into monsters."

Pera still didn't know Kevin's background, let alone his strength, but she felt that she needed to explain everything clearly.

"Sometimes, even those warriors who died in the Rift can be seen wandering around in the Rift again. But the facts prove that... they are just a poor imitation of them by this space, a complete monster."

Although in name, Pella was only an intelligence officer and had no duty to go to the battlefield, she would inevitably encounter situations where she had to participate in combat. Among those Silver Mane Guards who sacrificed, there would inevitably be friends she knew.

Because of this strange phenomenon, over time, the Silver Mane Guards even came up with a rule that if the bodies in the Rift could not be brought back, they must be destroyed.

They are all heroic souls guarding their homeland and should not be tarnished in this way.

“Imitate the things that are in there, and then construct a corresponding fake?”

Standing on the defense line built by the Silver Mane Iron Guard, Kevin could easily take in the vast scenery ahead. Judging from the style and density of the surrounding buildings, it was not difficult to see that this was once a very prosperous commercial district.

But from the outside, this bustling street seems to be deserted and there is no other dangerous place.

However, this is just a visual error. The street seen from the outside is just a pure shadow. Once you really enter it, you will find yourself in another completely different chaotic space.

In this chaotic and disordered space, even the entrance you came from may not be reliable. That is to say, after entering it, you not only have to face endless monsters, but also have to bear the risk of losing your way.

From this perspective alone, some properties of the Rift Space seem to be quite similar to those of the Quantum Sea.

Of course, this was no reason for Kevin to give up exploring. The street ahead seemed to be connected to this place, but it was a space completely unrelated to the outside world. What could he see just by looking at it from outside?

"Thank you. All you have to do now is wait outside. Or you can go do other things."

Obviously, doing something out of concern for Kevin...isn't that completely unnecessary?

"Oh, no, Mr. Kaslana! Wait a minute, next..."

Before Perla could finish her words of persuasion, Kevin jumped off the several-meter-high defense line and disappeared from sight in an instant, leaving the girl standing alone in the wind, disheveled.

She is just a weak civilian worker, she couldn't just jump in and save the hero, right?

"Ms. Bronya said that she would take good care of Mr. Kaslana. How could he, he, he, he, just jump into the Rift Valley alone without any equipment?!"

If something unexpected really happened, not only would she feel guilty about it, but she would also have no hope of getting her year-end bonus!

"What should I do about this!!!"

———— ————

“Sure enough, the scene we saw outside was just a shadow of what once existed.”

On the other side, Kevin had just stepped into the Rift Realm when the scene before him changed drastically. The originally neat streets were covered with debris and mechanical wreckage, and the bright sky became extremely dim, with a few stars flickering in it.

Not only the space, the rift that Kevin stepped into was also completely inconsistent with the outside world in terms of time...the difference between the past and the present was too huge.

According to the information given by the girl before, there has never been such a huge difference between the Rift and the outside. So, is this because of his own problem?

Kevin looked down at his palms, then clenched his fists to test it. He could clearly feel a sense of rejection, and that there was indeed some force trying to deconstruct his existence from an unknown angle.

However, if you want to be able to fully analyze the Chimera, it will probably take hundreds of years.

Although he was obviously aware of the abnormality, it was still quite convenient. He didn't need to take the initiative to look for them, as those guys would come to him on their own.

I just don't know whether the Rift has its own subjective consciousness, or whether the star core can actually control this place, or whether it is simply that the creatures in the Rift also have independent thinking?

Clearly feeling the vigilance from the dark, Kevin calmly walked slowly towards a shop whose walls had collapsed long ago. Then he looked around and finally picked out a plain baseball bat.

Let’s not talk about why Belloberg also likes baseball, but for Kevin, holding a baseball bat in his hand as a weapon is indeed countless times stronger than using it with bare hands.

After all, he was the only one who came to this world, and even the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire was left in his original world.

But this is pretty good, isn’t it?

Kevin took the baseball bat in his hand and weighed it carefully for a few times, then turned his head and looked at the dozens of strange creatures blocking the door outside the store, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Judging from the form of expression, the main composition of these Rift Creatures seems to be some unknown crystals, and each Rift Creature only has a single element in its body. They are very pure, so pure that they don't look like the products of nature at all.

Their simple yet effective structure makes them seem more like products created solely for mass production and aggression.

In this respect, they are even more terrifying than the Honkai beasts, which may have various forms. After all, even Honkai beasts still follow the basic rules of nature. They are indeed "living things".

In fact, whenever Kevin encountered something completely incomprehensible, he would inevitably think of his former companions.

No... It's really strange, why has he become more and more prone to daydreaming since coming to this world?

Shaking his head slightly, Kevin then walked towards the group of monsters step by step, raising the baseball bat in his hand.

"If you want to test my strength, then you may need to add more chips on the other side of the scale."

Tiny ice crystals quickly spread from Kevin's hand and wrapped around the bat. Then, the weapon, flashing with ice, was swung forward suddenly.

boom----!

The gushing cold current blocked all vision, and when all the fine frost fell, the commercial street of Beloberg returned to its former emptiness.

A beautiful home run.

Chapter 7: The Moving Rift Core

Click——

Kevin stepped out of the store, and his feet made a crisp sound on the ice on the ground. Not only the ground, but also the entire street within the fan-shaped area starting from the gate was covered with a layer of blue frost.

Obviously, even a fool should be able to understand now that no matter how many Rift-Boundary Creatures of that level there are, Kevin can only swing them with a baseball bat.

As the afterglow of the civilization before the original world, the final product of the Chimera Project - Kevin's body perfectly contains the genes of nearly a hundred emperor-level Honkai beasts. Sometimes, even he himself may not remember what abilities he has.

His best fighting style is still the ice power brought by the original Pavani, and the God's Key Skyfire Judgment created by the Flame Ruler Core.

But this does not mean that the remaining Honkai beast genes are useless. Under the careful preparation of Dr. Mobius, even if Kevin has never consciously manipulated them, they are always playing their role.

For example, even in this world without Honkai energy, his body was still slowly converting some other energy to replenish itself. But before he understood its nature, and in order to prevent any accidents, Kevin had never taken the initiative to control this process.

But there is one thing that is beyond doubt - even though he has lost the power of the end, he can clearly feel that he is still getting stronger as his body continues to adapt to the new energy.

Yes, in this passive situation, bit by bit, we continue to become stronger.

And when he began to seriously exert his strength, the process was not only not pulled to the limit, but became smoother.

"Kosmo... is that kid helping me?"

Kevin vaguely remembered that Dr. Mobius once told him that the Vishnu genes in him came from the sublimated Kosmo, not the original Honkai beast... There is an immeasurable gap between them.

Really, why is he becoming more and more like a nostalgic old man.

Kevin shook his head to clear away these messy thoughts, then closed his eyes and carefully felt the state of this rift. Within a few seconds, he successfully discovered the abnormality.

"Is the source of the distortion of this space in that direction?"

The center of the Rift is not difficult to infer. After all, compared to the original complete world, the Rift that erodes its surface is more like a kind of cancer cell that keeps growing. You can think of it as alive, or you can think of it as having some kind of core substance that maintains its existence.

Therefore, as long as your senses are delicate enough, you can clearly perceive the source of the rift's distortion of space.

Kevin did not seek convenience and speed by directly crossing the street. Instead, he walked slowly and steadily along the empty and quiet street to the end, enjoying the different customs of the other world.

Even though it has become so dilapidated, the objects occasionally displayed in front of Kevin always reflect many of the unique style of Beloberg.

The only drawback was that from time to time, various creatures from the Rift Valley would try to block his progress. Unfortunately, these monsters could not even get close to Kevin, and would turn into ice sculptures and fall quietly in an instant, eventually becoming a series of embellishments on the ground.

"Right over here."

Finally, Kevin stood in front of a crossroads, but compared to the road he came from, the remaining three intersections were all buried by collapsed ruins... It was obvious that this was the edge of the rift, or its deepest point.

Different from the various creatures that appeared before him, what finally appeared before Kevin's eyes was a special creature that was highly similar to a human. It floated in the air strangely with its feet off the ground, and its golden body stretched out in all directions like a sick branch. This time, Kevin couldn't even tell what kind of energy was maintaining its existence.

Also different from those creatures from the Rift Valley, it seemed to have intelligence no less than that of normal humans... It was as if it had been waiting for Kevin's arrival. The moment it saw him, the monster raised its hand and launched an attack without hesitation.

"Pinch—mom—!"

It clearly didn't have an organ like vocal cords, but a strange rhythm came out from its torso. At the same time, the huge energy that vibrated the space also rushed towards Kevin's body with golden ripples.

boom----!

The tall buildings on both sides of the street collapsed in an instant due to the horrifying spatial fluctuations, and smoke and dust filled the entire street... However, Kevin, who was in the center of the attack, was completely unharmed and didn't even bother to blink.

"Is this, imaginary energy...?"

Kevin felt the attack passing through his body personally, and he suddenly realized the nature of this energy - in the original world, this energy could only be obtained by contacting the Imaginary Number Tree through the Quantum Sea, or with the help of [The End], but now it was naturally manifested on the unknown creature before him.

It's as if this is its innate ability?

Does this world actually have an imaginary tree? Or is this world the real imaginary tree outside the end that is blocked by the [Cocoon of the End]?

So, does the star core have the ability to borrow imaginary energy, or can the space distorted by the rift connect to another world outside the veil?
