Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

"Mr. Kevin's story?"

There was a look of disbelief in Danheng's eyes; he seldom listened to Kevin reveal his past.

He couldn't even piece together a complete story from the information the other person casually told him during the journey.

All we know is that this senior, who is an old friend of Mr. Walter, has his own family, powerful strength and a mysterious past.

Seeing the curiosity gradually appearing on Danheng's face, Kevin pointed to the fence where the other party was sitting.

"You know what? I had a long talk here with my descendant, one of the last Kaslanas."

"The last... Kaslana?"

Dan Heng showed a thoughtful expression and asked doubtfully: "Is that... a surname?"

"Yes, a surname that was given a mission..." Kevin nodded and sighed.

"So, Mr. Kevin's full name should be Kevin Kaslana?" Dan Heng guessed, drawing inferences from one example.

"Kevin Kaslana... indeed. But this name should belong to a 'human', not me now..."

Kevin shook his head, a hint of nostalgia in his tone.

"Why do you say that?" Dan Heng asked, looking at Kevin.

He could sense that the other party should have admitted this point just now, but denied it without hesitation.

The breeze blew up the dust and hit Kevin's face. He pursed his lips, sighed, and confessed: "Because Kaslana... was abandoned by me..."

"Now I am just Kevin..."

“Why abandon it?”

Dan Heng didn’t understand, would someone like Kevin give up?

This time, Kevin did not answer. Instead, he pointed behind him and asked, "Do you see these strange shadows behind me?"

"what?"

Dan Heng turned his head subconsciously. If the other party hadn't reminded him, he would have been so immersed in the conversation that he would not have noticed the changes behind him at all.

The illusory sunlight shone on Kevin unhindered, and his long shadow was cast onto the ruins of the city behind him.

Ferocious tentacles, limbs, and wings were mixed in the shadows, as if countless monsters were struggling in the dream.

“What… is this…?”

Dan Heng's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

A calm voice replied at the side: "This is one of the reasons why I chose to be a coffin bearer..."

"It is my own fault..."

Ps: This chapter is a response to some readers' doubts about why the protagonist is called Kevin from the beginning to now, instead of Kevin Kaslana.

It's not like some people say that Kevin is unworthy and Kevin is ashamed to call himself Kaslana.

Chapter 200 You don't need to worry about your bloodline. I will bear the responsibility for my sins alone.

"Guilt..."

Dan Heng covered his forehead with his hands. When he heard the word "guilt", the white-haired woman's madness and Ren's hateful questioning echoed in his mind at the same time.

"You, like him, should pay for your past sins!"

"Do you think that past sins can be wiped out with just one word?"

The words of the two were like an invisible chain, pressing on Dan Heng's shoulders, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

It was so heavy that even when the power that he didn't want to use dissipated and caused himself to suffer damage, he could actually feel a little relieved...

This forced him to break the heavy shackles and break the past that never belonged to him.

Dan Heng remained silent as he stared at the hideous and twisted shadow behind Kevin that seemed to be holding countless monsters.

For the first time, he felt the weight this man was carrying, which was far greater than the weight he was carrying on his own shoulders...

But why did the other party say it so lightly?

"Dan Heng, what kind of person am I in your opinion?"

After a brief silence, the man next to him suddenly asked.

Dan Heng turned his head in some surprise. From Kevin's calm eyes, he saw seriousness, but no desire.

The other party didn't seem to care what answer he would give, so what was the reason for his asking?

Kevin looked at Danheng quietly. This was not the first time that such a question came out of his mouth.

As early as when he first boarded the train, he asked Walter how the other party viewed him.

Walter did not give a clear answer at that time and was very confused about this topic; and I, at that time, had a vague memory and was very curious about my past.

Now that his memory has been restored, he asks this question to Dan Heng, who doesn't know his past. The latter's answer will not be subjective and based on deeds, but will largely be based on his heart.

"Well... I think Mr. Kevin is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside..."

After pondering for a moment, Dan Heng gave his answer.

Combining what he saw and felt during the journey, Dan Heng said seriously: "Although Mr. Kevin usually looks very cold, he is actually very enthusiastic..."

At the Black Tower Space Station, Kevin and others fought against the antimatter army and helped the Black Tower test the simulated universe...

In Beloberg, he solved the problem of medical resources in the lower-class clinic, and saved everyone from danger in the confrontation with Cocolia...

In this trip to Luofu, Kevin wanted to allow the permanently exiled Dan Heng to return to his homeland, and even threatened Yukong Siduo and General Jingyuan with force in Sichen Palace...

Dan Heng watched all of this silently and kept it in mind.

"Enthusiasm..."

Kevin sighed softly. He never thought that after his long-passed companions, he would one day be given such an evaluation.

"You think too highly of me, Dan Heng." Kevin shook his head and denied it softly.

"When I was in Beloberg, if I wanted, I could easily clear the ice and snow of the entire planet and deal with all the antimatter legions that might be revived. Even if I wanted, it wouldn't be difficult to accelerate the retreat of the Rift."

Kevin paused for a moment, looked at Dan Heng, and asked, "But why, even though I have such ability, I still don't do it?"

"..."

Dan Heng had a look of surprise on his face. He had not expected Kevin to say such a thing.

He originally thought that the other party did not do so only because of considerations of the consequences, but the result was that the other party had clearly considered everything but did nothing.

Looking at Danheng who didn't answer for a long time, Kevin expressed his inner thoughts without any concealment.

"Because I don't care what will happen to that place after I leave. Will it prosper or fall? I don't care."

"Dan Heng, I have always been so selfish..."

Dan Heng was silent, he felt a little confused.

Kevin said that he was selfish, but could all the good deeds he had done in the pioneering work be turned into nothing just by these few words?

Selfishness and pioneering, these two points do not seem to be contradictory, no... Humans themselves are a collection of contradictions...

Some things may seem contradictory and conflicting, but in fact they can still coexist.

So, how should we view the contradictions between ourselves and the past?

Looking at Dan Heng, who was thoughtful and conflicted, Kevin patted him on the shoulder.

"You don't need to worry about these..."

"Um……"

Dan Heng nodded in response, but he was still a little absent-minded.

Kevin shook his head helplessly, supported himself on the fence with both hands and readjusted his position, and continued: "Let's get back to the topic we were talking about..."

"How do you think I, a person who bears the guilt and is selfish, view my own bloodline?"

"I don't know..." Dan Heng pursed his lips and finally spoke.

But Kevin didn't seem to care. He chuckled and said as usual: "I told you, don't think too highly of me."

As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him. The hideous shadows that looked like a gathering of monsters seemed to be summoned by him. They instantly twisted and climbed up his arms, but they also calmed down.

"This is the shadow of Chimera. It is one of the sins I bear..."

"One of the Chimeras...?"

Dan Heng grasped the point in Kevin's sentence, and the other party seemed to have said the same thing before.

Kevin nodded and sighed, "Yes... The Chimera Project... The Stigmata Project, and even the spiritual Adam that you and I are in now, are all manifestations of these sins..."

"It subverts the world and redefines humanity. As the executor, I have already become a monster and a sinner of the world..."

Looking at Dan Heng, Kevin said without hiding anything: "Dan Heng, Walter and I should have told you that our world was once devastated by a disaster called collapse..."

"But in reality, we are not from the same generation..."

"what?!"

Dan Heng's eyes were full of surprise, but at the same time, his inner doubts gradually became clear.

No wonder Walter admitted that Kevin's age of 50,000 was a fact, but said that his age was nothing compared to the former.

Kevin ignored Dan Heng's reaction and continued, "I am a survivor of the civilization left behind. Even if the new generation does not have a ship that can carry me, I still remember my mission."

"In order to carry out my plan, I have trampled on countless ideals, and countless lives have been lost because of me. And this sin of causing the death of innocent lives - all should be borne by me alone!"

Kevin held tightly onto the cracked stone fence beneath him, his tone full of determination and resoluteness.

"Therefore, I must give up the name of Kaslana. At least the name Kevin Kaslana cannot belong to a monster and sinner like me."

"So, I am just Kevin. Kaslana... has no meaning to me anymore..."

"Mr. Kevin, you..."

Looking at Kevin's determined expression, Dan Heng was speechless. At this point, what else did he not understand?

Kevin gave up the name of Kaslana just because he didn't want Kaslana to be known as the descendant of a sinner.

In this case, then "cut off" everything that is connected to him and bear the sin alone.
