Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"There are plenty of food and drink facilities. You only need to treat Xi'er and me to three meals for one night. Would you consider it?"

Kevin turned his head slightly, his indifferent eyes as if he was looking at a black-hearted businessman.

“…Forget it.” Li Suchang curled her lips.

"Even if what you said is true, I wouldn't go even if I could fit into such a small ball. After all, I wouldn't have much money in your world. Forget about treating me to a meal. I'll have to rely on you for my expenses until I earn my salary."

"This is simple."

Kainuo's eyes lit up and he offered the other party friendly advice.

"There's also a Li Sushang in our world. For various reasons, she's been asleep for nearly five hundred years and only woke up recently. She's very talented and much weaker than you."

"Then you can impersonate someone else and dominate the world with your overwhelming strength! Then you can borrow money from everywhere and then just withdraw. Wouldn't that make a lot of money?"

"You only know how to come up with bad ideas. Aren't you afraid that she'll be chased and beaten?"

Not mentioning the embarrassed Li Sushang, Xier gently kicked Kainuo's heel and complained:

"If Auntie knows that you're always plotting to harm the Destiny Valkyrie, she'll definitely teach you a lesson."

"Those who can beat Su Shang can't beat me, and the problem of not being able to beat Su Shang is even less serious."

Kaino shrugged nonchalantly.

"Who told her to just say, 'Let's have a fight!' the last time she saw me? Besides, it was just a joke. Even if I were assimilated by Kiana, I wouldn't do such a thing..."

Kainuo paused for a moment, and looked forward in sync with Kevin, who was silent beside him.

A fantastical azure crystal floated quietly in the air, with two tiny world bubbles slowly rotating around it.

Under the observation of the power of Keno's Herrscher of Consciousness, a consciousness that looked identical to Saint Freya's teacher Walter Yang was floating near the core. His expression was alert, but he also clearly exuded a mixture of surprise and confusion.

“…Herrscher.”

Kevin somehow observed the other party. His eyes fixed, and while Li Suchang was bewildered, he threw the container on his back high up, drew out the Skyfire Sword and rushed towards the other party.

Chapter 287 The moment of decisive battle is coming!

The two world bubbles surrounding the core of the Ruler of Reason were split into two. The flaming giant sword left a red mark in the air and slashed towards the core of the Ruler of Reason - or rather, the consciousness of Walter Yang attached to it.

Kevin's murderous intent was obvious, and Walter Yang was frightened by the opponent's attack and broke out in a cold sweat... if he could still sweat.

He didn't have time to think about why the snake that was supposed to be trapped in the maze suddenly broke free and emerged, nor did he pay attention to familiar faces like Seele. He tried his best and frantically activated the power of the Herrscher's core.

No matter whether you can stop the opponent or not, at least you should try it first!

Besides, there was no way he could escape in his current state.

"Eden..."

"Eden's Star, Triple Liberation."

A familiar voice sounded, and three Keys of God and the Star of Eden were projected perfectly around Kevin in Walter's stunned sight.

The invisible gravitational force twisted and intertwined, and the crimson sword finally slowly stopped ten centimeters away from the core, unable to move at all.

Kevin frowned and turned to look at Kaino.

Kainuo held on tightly to Kevin who was still trying hard to kill Walter, while using his power to support Li Suchang who was still a little dazed after falling.

He first confirmed that the core was indeed not damaged, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Kevin.

"We're on the same side! I know this Herrscher. He's on the human side. There's no need to go to war."

Kevin frowned, looked at Keno deeply, and then temporarily put away the Skyfire.

It's not that he believed Kayno's words. Ever since he killed the Sixth Herrscher, he would never show mercy to any Herrscher again.

But this wasn't happening in his own world, and he was only there to help, so he couldn't say much. As a native of this world, the right to make the decision ultimately lay with Kainuo.

But he still added a sentence at the end.

"The Herrscher will never stand on the side of humans, no matter if he was your friend or someone you have a close relationship with. It's better for you to prepare yourself mentally in advance."

"Don't worry, there are already quite a few Herrschers in our world who are on the human side. Even I... oh, strictly speaking, I'm not a native Herrscher."

Kainuo put Li Suchang on Kevin's back again and scratched his head.

He was a new sprout that grew from the dead branch of the Herrster of Reason in the previous civilization, and he was also the Herrster of Consciousness after the consciousness of the Law of Consciousness was killed in this era. But regardless of the former or the latter, he should be considered the second generation.

"Let's not talk about that. Anyway, the situation in our world is quite unique... Could it be that the original Herrscher of the previous civilization sided with humanity? Even Kevin in our world is quite hostile to the lack of a Herrscher."

Without further explaining to Kevin, who had a confused look on his face, Kainuo turned his head and looked at Walter Yang with a bright smile.

"Hey, Teacher Walter, long time no see?"

Walter slowly came back to his senses after hearing this name. He stared at Kainuo's face for a few seconds and asked tentatively: "Kainuo Kaslana?"

The name he had never concealed, the white-haired man who had obeyed Theresa's orders during Anti-Entropy's invasion of Saint Freya, and Seele, who had been watching him curiously. Putting all these clues together, if he still couldn't recognize the other person's true identity, then he wouldn't be worthy of being Anti-Entropy's leader.

As for why Keno, who had disappeared after the plane crash, had changed his appearance and stayed in Saint Freya, and why he suddenly appeared in the Quantum Sea after regaining his appearance, Walter had no time to pay attention to it. Compared to those, the snake in front of him was the biggest threat.

He pondered for a moment, glanced at Kevin who was watching this place coldly, and whispered to Kainuo.

"Kaino... I'll call you that for now. I don't know why you're here with him, but if possible, I hope you can join forces with me to deal with him. We absolutely cannot let him enter our world!"

Kaino tilted his head, his mind practically filled with question marks.

It’s okay for Kevin, but why are you doing this too?

Having misunderstood Keno's doubts, Walter continued to explain:

"Although it's clear from his appearance that he has a close connection with your Kaslana family, don't let that fool you."

"I only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of his past in my labyrinth, but it's enough to confirm that he harbors evil intentions towards our world. If we don't stop him now, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Ah this..."

Kaino scratched his head helplessly.

Not to mention that this Kevin is not that Kevin, even the Kevin from their world gave up the idea of ​​continuing to implement the Stigmata Plan after fighting with him in the Stigmata Space.

But these things... it would be too troublesome to explain them one by one.

In that case, why not just stop explaining for now?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang. In return, I will help you re-condense your body after returning to the Eigenworld."

After Kayno finished speaking, he grabbed the core of the Ruler of Reason before Walter could react and stuffed it into the imaginary space.

After doing all this, Keno clapped his hands in relief.

……

The core of the Ruler of Reason was stored in the imaginary space, cutting off its connection with the outside world. Naturally, the maze that trapped Kevin would spontaneously collapse.

But the word trapped doesn't seem quite right.

Unlike Walter, whose body was corroded and had to hide in the core, when Kayno found Kevin in the eigenworld, the other party was staying in a small world bubble, staring at a tall cherry tree in a daze.

Even within the bubble, the pressure of the quantum sea still surrounded him, constantly corroding him. But Kevin simply stood there quietly, seemingly unfazed by the sea's encroachment, or perhaps taking it all in stride.

Only then did Kevin finally take his eyes off the tall cherry tree.

He turned around, looked at Keno who had entered the world bubble alone to bring him back, and spoke slowly.

"Su is dead."

Kaino didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"

After a while, he finally understood the information smoothly. Kainuo's eyes widened, puzzled.

"Wait, can he still be killed in that world bubble? And I remember the fusion warrior..."

"Most fusion warriors cannot achieve immortality. Su's body, in particular, was not strong to begin with, and the long and uninterrupted execution of the Hengsha Project has squeezed out his remaining potential. With so many factors combined, it's not surprising that Su died young."

After a pause, Kevin continued.

"But fortunately, in his final moments, he found the answer he wanted through Hengsha. Also, not long ago, the final implementation plan for the Stigmata Project between Mei and Mebius was finally finalized through our decisive battle."

After saying this, Kevin's eyes suddenly became serious.

"So, Keno Kaslana. When will the final battle, the moment to put an end to the destruction that has bound us for two eras, come?"

Kainuo took a deep breath, and his originally relaxed mood became serious.

"Right now."

Chapter 288 The time for the decisive battle has not yet arrived

In a high-tech enclosed room.

Bianca stared seriously at the short white-haired doll not far away, and the Kevin doll gave her a cold look in return.

The man and the armed puppet just stared at each other quietly, like knights in martial arts novels looking for their opponent's flaws, silent and speechless.

Until a certain moment comes.

Kevin's idol seemed to have received a signal. A cold light flashed in his eyes. His right foot stepped on the alloy ground, making a metallic sound. He rushed towards Bianca quickly, sticking to the ground and punching with both hands.

Bang

Without using Honkai energy, Bianca, wearing Yuepo, kicked the puppet with her right leg like a whip, and separated from the opponent's fist upon contact.

Bianca remained calm, using the force of the puppet to push her back, and used her left foot as a fulcrum to stand up and spin slightly in the air. She swung her right foot at the puppet with fierce force, forcing the puppet Kevin to give up the next attack and suddenly pull back.

The situation regressed to the one before the war, which made Bianca sigh slightly.

Going up against a smaller opponent should have given her a height advantage, but too much is as bad as too little. Facing an armed puppet that was nearly as tall as her calf yet incredibly agile, Bianca felt like she was facing Master Ye's Tyson. Without weapons, she had no idea how to respond.

You can't just bend over and punch the ground, right?

As expected, close combat is still a weakness...

Bianca secretly made the next training plan in her heart, then lightly tapped the button on the wristband with her left hand, waved the Black Abyss White Flower vigorously, and looked at the puppet Kevin solemnly.

"Come again!"

The armed puppet nodded slightly, and a miniature skyfire appeared in his hand in an instant. The surging flames suddenly rose up and almost filled the entire house, and then the owner of the skyfire rolled towards Bianca.

Bianca narrowed her eyes, bent her legs and jumped into the air. A dark horse appeared out of nowhere, raised its legs and neighed under her.

Bianca held the reins at her waist and thrust out with the spear!

"Gallop, Krishna!"

Whoosh!

With a loud shout from Bianca, she used her spear as an arrow and her horse's feet as feathers. She tore through the raging flames like a flying arrow and pierced through the puppet Kevin!

The flames in the room all dissipated, and two broken soul steel feet fell casually from the air to the ground, making bursts of crisp sounds.

Bianca dismounted, wiped the sweat from her forehead due to the high temperature, and smiled comfortably.

At this moment, the soul steel soles originally scattered on the ground suddenly turned into streams of blue particles floating into the air, and headlights lit up, illuminating the already dim room.

A cold mechanical sound rang out.

"Final Rehearsal Training - Item 11: Defeat Puppet Kevin while restraining 90% of Honkai Energy and other energies. Passed."

"Valkyrie Youlandel, shall we proceed with the next rehearsal training?"

Bianca opened her mouth and said, "Go on, to the next item..."

"Attention: Valkyrie Yulandel, you have been training continuously for three hours. Please rest for 30 minutes before coming back." The mechanical female voice interrupted Bianca.

Bianca opened her eyes wide and stared at the ceiling in surprise.

"Strange..." She scratched her head. "When did Tianming's training measures include an anti-addiction system?"

She trained for seven hours straight yesterday and nothing happened.

"Perhaps this is a special measure Bishop Theresa added for you, Lady Yulandel? After all, it's clearly dinner time now, but if it weren't for this reminder, you probably wouldn't have gone to bed yet."

A somewhat charming voice sounded, Bianca raised her eyebrows, and turned to look at the door of the training room.

Her adjutant was standing there looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Rita!?" Bianca was a little surprised. "Didn't you assist the World Serpent in the mission to annihilate the Twelfth Herrscher? Has it already been completed?"

Rita smiled and nodded: "Of course."

"Thanks to the World Serpent's detailed records of Herrschers from previous civilizations, we were able to eliminate the Herrscher of Corrosion without paying a high price, as its needs differed significantly from previous ones and required time to grow."

After a pause, Rita continued.

"Originally, according to the plan, we were supposed to reshape his personality. However, Master Xiaozhi said that the Herrscher of Corrosion's mental state was too unique and dangerous, so to avoid any accidents, we chose to eliminate him directly."
