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

After finding the source, Kevin's doubts were not answered. Instead, more doubts kept emerging in his mind, which inevitably made him feel distressed.

Many times, he is actually not suitable to be a seeker of knowledge.

Moreover, it was obvious that the monster in front of him would not give him that much time to think. After realizing that his attack had no effect, it immediately gathered a huge amount of imaginary energy in front of it again.

From the root, the tree of imaginary numbers is the essence that gave birth to countless worlds, so it is not an exaggeration to describe imaginary energy as a kind of energy that can rewrite reality at will.

To put it simply, if this guy can really use this power skillfully, then it will be no problem to blow half of the commercial street into nothingness.

But Kevin obviously won't give it this chance.

"Unfortunately, it seems like he is a completely impossible person to negotiate with."

boom----!

Before the monster could fully accumulate the energy in its hands, the biting cold broke out first, carving the entire intersection into a perfect ice crystal, sparkling in the afterglow of the stars.

As for the unknown monster, after Kevin removed the core attached to its torso, it turned into pure energy and returned to the unknown space.

Thump—thump—

Even though it had lost its carrier and was held in Kevin's hand covered with ice crystals, the core source that caused the distortion of the rift was still slowly wriggling like a living heart, constantly causing the space to continue to distort and expand.

Like cancer...

Chapter 8 Big Brother with Baseball Bat

Shifting the perspective to Pella, who was abandoned outside the Rift by Kevin, after realizing that the other party had stepped into a dangerous situation and that he would not be able to change anything if he just stood there, the kind intelligence officer immediately went to other places to call several Silver Mane Guards on duty.

As long as we don't go deep into the rift, there shouldn't be too much danger...right?

"Hurry, hurry, it's over here. Mr. Kaslana entered the Rift Realm here. So much time has passed. I'm afraid he..."

By this time, about ten minutes had passed. No matter how lucky one was, one would probably encounter wandering creatures from the Rift Valley.

When Mr. Kaslana entered, he was not wearing any armor, and he didn't even have a decent weapon. Pella couldn't believe how such an ordinary person could survive alone in the Rift for so long.

It was all her fault that she didn't stop him in time, otherwise she wouldn't have...

"Um...Mr. Kaslana?"

The feeling of extreme guilt had just begun to brew in Pera's mind, but when she returned to the place where Kevin entered the Rift, she found that he had stood outside the Rift without knowing when. Not only was he unharmed, but he even had a limited edition baseball bat in his hand.

"Thank God, you are so lucky that you managed to walk out of the Rift unscathed. Don't be so reckless next time. You know, even a fully armed Silver Mane Guard would find it difficult to escape from the Rift unscathed... What's that in your hand?"

The girl had just regained her anxious attitude and returned to her original quietness, but just as she was trying to instill in Kevin the idea that the Rift Realm must not be approached casually, she discovered that he was holding a strange... sphere in his hand?

As we all know, human cognition of the outside world all comes from the process of learning. For example, before being told about the dangers of a knife, a child does not know that it can easily hurt him.

But looking at the strange object held in Kevin's hand, even though she had never known what it was, Pera couldn't help but feel disgusted and repulsed.

She trusted her instincts, this couldn't be anything good.

"This is the core of the Rift, the source of the distortion of space and the creation of monsters."

Kevin stated his actions and inferences directly without any hesitation: "After losing the most fundamental source, the distorted space will be corrected by the world itself, and no new world-breaking creatures will be born from it."

To put it simply, this rift, which was once considered alive, is now dead.

"But the rift behind you doesn't seem to have changed at all?" At least for the time being, Pella still maintained her tenacious spirit of argument.

"This is normal. Even if you pull out the knife stuck in your body, the wound will not heal instantly."

Kevin is not a native of this world, so of course he doesn't know the specific specifications of this world. Such injuries may only take three to five days to heal, or it may take three to four years to see improvement.

However, considering that the world has already been eroded by the rift and is riddled with holes, this time will probably not be short.

"I'm not good at researching this kind of thing, so I'll leave it to you."

As he spoke, Kevin even threw away the pronucleus in his hand, and was even considerate enough to add a layer of ice on the surface that looked weak but was actually indestructible.

".......ah???"

The dark purple nucleus jumped back and forth in the air for several times before the flustered Pera successfully caught it in her hands. But even at this moment, she still couldn't fully believe what was happening before her eyes.

So according to what the other party said, the rift erosion that had been plaguing the Silver Mane Guards was solved so easily in just over ten minutes?

As a top student who was able to graduate early from Beloberg University solely through self-study, Pera remembered very clearly that since the death of the first generation of the "Great Guardian", Beloberg has never had a successful counterattack on the Rift. The most they could do was to defend the front line under the impact of the Rift creatures.

Why else, when it was discovered that the rift had already eroded the city of Beloberg, the psychological expectations of all those who knew the truth were actually not very good.

What kind of charm does this person from the outside world outside the snow have...

"Ms. Pera, look over there, why is there a child over there?"

Just as the girl's thoughts were wandering while staring at Kevin, the Silver Mane Iron Guard she had just brought with her suddenly pointed to the rift space behind.

Following the other person's gaze, Pera actually saw a little girl behind Kevin, who was only about five or six years old? !

The only difference between her and those Silver Mane Iron Guards was that the girl's keen insight clearly revealed that this little girl who seemed to be following Kevin was actually perfectly leaning on the edge of the rift, without taking even an inch out.

But faced with this kind of scene where everyone would squat down and comfort the little girl in a soft voice, Kevin didn't even turn his head, and started walking out of the defense line without hesitation.

"It's just a body created by the Rift. It may not be aggressive. However, any action is meaningless to her."

After gaining a slight insight into the nature of the rift, Kevin could easily see through certain things - there was no doubt that this was indeed a living creature standing there, but it was only at this moment.

Maybe there was indeed a little girl who had been in such a situation in the Rift, but that was only a thing of the past... It was not even a silhouette in time and space, but just a crude imitation simulated by the Rift's instinct based on its characteristics.

Of course, you can give appropriate care or companionship out of compassion, but that is ultimately just an act of deceiving and pleasing yourself.

It is not as if these Silver Mane Guards have never seen people or things that have long passed away in the Rift, but this phenomenon does not make people feel any nostalgia, but only makes them more angry and hateful towards the Rift that caused all this.

Just like the form of that throbbing pronucleus, the Rift is completely a cancer parasitic on the world...

At this moment, the brains of Pella and several Silver Mane Iron Guards were still in a state of brain failure due to the large amount of information they had just received. But the "little girl" in the rift looked at Kevin's departing back and raised her hand very hard to wave, just for fear that the other party could not hear her voice.

"Goodbye, big brother with the baseball bat—"

"......"

No one noticed that Kevin's footsteps paused imperceptibly, and then he slowly left the front line set up by the Silver Mane Iron Guards as he did at the beginning, until he could no longer see the rift.

Well, for the rifts belonging to different spaces, the sounds resonating within them cannot actually be transmitted to the outside world.

Chapter 9: Would you consider becoming a bassist?

"Mr. Kaslana, why does this thing look so...alive?"

After seeing Kevin leave, Pella struggled a little bit and decided to follow him. The Silver Mane Guards immediately reported what happened in the Rift.

The rift that invaded Beloberg has been cleared artificially... Of course, such things still need to be verified repeatedly before a final conclusion can be reached.

But for Pera, just based on the pronucleus in her hand, she was half convinced. Because even with the gloves and the ice as a barrier, she could still clearly feel the pronucleus still beating slowly.

She had never seen such a strange thing, which even subverted her rational understanding of the world.

"It depends on your definition of life."

Compared to Kevin, who was two heads taller than him, Pera was just a follower. She could only try to tilt her head and listen to what he said: "It can absorb and digest all kinds of energy, grow by eroding the world, and can even understand and copy things that exist in the rift."

"In a sense, this planet and this world can also be considered one of the myriad lives."

If it was Su standing here at this moment, I believe he would be able to easily tell the girl many great truths to make her fully understand the meaning of it. But for Kevin alone, this was the most straightforward explanation he had made after his efforts.

"I see......"

Fortunately, the girl named Pera fully meets people's standards for genius. She can not only understand the concepts described by Kevin, but can even apply them to other situations to a certain extent.

"Mr. Kaslana, this means that the current pronucleus is still not safe, because if it is not suppressed in time, it may even breed a new rift at any time?"

If the person who easily took out the Rift Core was not right next to him, Pella might have shaken her hand and dropped this thing that could cause a catastrophe at any time to the ground with a bang.

"...It is indeed possible."

If we really talk about the professional level of scientific research, Kevin, who has always been a warrior, is probably not as good as the girl in front of him. It's just that what he sees and feels is far beyond that of ordinary people.

After receiving a positive answer, Pera lowered her head again and looked at the nucleus in her hand. She struggled for a while, but in the end, some kind of impulsive emotion and strong desire for knowledge overwhelmed the fear in her heart, so she gritted her teeth and asked, "Mr. Kaslana, before the order comes down from above, can I take it to my friend first?"

"Please rest assured, although she has resigned from her research position, she is definitely the best researcher in the entire Beloberg, no doubt about it."

Having said that, think about it and you will realize that a place as small as Beloberg cannot afford too detailed research divisions.

For example, even if Mobius is the most advanced biologist in another world, he would probably only be able to move bricks and sweep the floor here... After all, in the environment outside with temperatures of minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, not even a few insects can survive, so there is nothing to study.

Although he knew that there was a high probability that he would not get any useful feedback, Kevin finally nodded slightly as he looked at the girl who was looking at him intently.

After all, it seemed that he really had nothing important to do.

"Okay!... Ahem, I mean, thank you Mr. Kaslana for your support. We will definitely not cause you any trouble. My friend lives in the machinery house over there. Please follow me."

It didn't take long for Pera to successfully arrive at the destination with Kevin. It was a building with great cultural charm, and all kinds of mechanical gears were roughly added to the top as decoration, which looked quite... unique?

However, although it is located just outside Klipperburg and there is a lot of traffic nearby, this machinery house is like an insulator and no one is willing to enter or stay here.

Even without thinking about it, you should know that there is definitely something wrong here.

"Well... usually there are few people here, so there is no need to worry about someone coming back to disturb us. It is actually quite quiet."

Knowing that Kevin would definitely have some doubts, Pera immediately explained the problem from another angle, then took the initiative to step forward and skillfully pushed open the door.

The house, which should have been quite spacious, seemed very crowded due to being filled with various mechanical products. Even the light coming through the windows was very limited, which eventually forced Pella to shout.

"Shiluwa, are you in there?"

"Is that voice...Pella?"

"How come the intelligence officer of the Silver Mane Guard suddenly has time to come to my shop? Shouldn't you be on duty at this time? Or have I accidentally been included in the suspect list?"

A blonde girl suddenly popped out from under the counter piled with miscellaneous items - not only her expression, but also the purple highlights on her forehead showed her eccentric personality without any concealment.

This made Kevin subconsciously feel that this would probably be very troublesome...

"Hey, why is there a handsome new face here? Pera, is this the bassist you hired specifically for the band?"

"No."

Without waiting for Pera to reply, Kevin crossed his arms and answered the other party's question decisively.

"Eh? Actually, there's no need to reject me so quickly. I think your temperament is very suitable for being a bassist... No, you are a natural born bassist... Are you really not going to consider it?"

"......"

Realizing that the situation was getting a little out of control, Pera immediately stepped forward to stop the conversation: "Be normal, Sylva. Mr. Kaslana is a distinguished guest of the Great Guardian. We are here for serious business."

"What, business?"

Who knew that after hearing this, Xiluwa suddenly seemed to have his tail stepped on, and his tone immediately became strange: "I don't think that the big man sitting in Klipper Castle has any serious business to come to me."

Hard, hard, Pera's little fist was getting hard.

"It's not because of the 'Great Guardian', I took the opportunity to come to you, you idiot!!"

Chapter 10: Trash cans may be good hiding places

"Um, I'm sorry for what I said just now, Mr. Kaslana..."

After listening to Pera's clear description of the two's purpose, Xiluwa still bowed her head to Kevin very seriously. Maybe she was indeed a little maverick in many aspects, but she could still distinguish right from wrong.

Logically speaking, if all this was true, then the items in Pera's hands should have been delivered to Klipperburg as soon as possible, but the other party came to her first while the intelligence had not been fully confirmed.

To put it mildly, this was just a matter of time. But if someone was determined to investigate, dismissal would be considered a very light punishment.

"However, if you insist that this little thing is the culprit for the erosion of the Rift Realm, are you kidding me?"

Before Kevin even had the chance to open his mouth to forgive the other party's mistake, he saw Shiluwa, who was holding the nucleus in her hand, just weighed it a few times, and then gently put the crystal back on the table without any reluctance.
