If this happened again in the present era, it would be no less 'stimulating' than punching Su's wide-open eyes directly.
Although she was thoroughly annoyed, Su still had to bring up the other party in an attempt to calm her best friend's restless heart:
"With her there, things might be different."
"..."
Kevin didn't speak, but Sue could feel the 'disdainful' gaze.
Indeed—if it were Alicia, she would surely be able to bring about a miracle.
But you expect her to 'save the world'?
If Alicia herself heard this, she would probably be completely dumbfounded and point at herself in horror: Me?
Stop kidding! I'm just an Ellie! Saving the world is completely beyond my capabilities! (Huan)
It took them 50,000 years to achieve this, let alone now.
Or rather, even if she could do it, Kevin would find it hard to accept.
Knowing his best friend's temperament, Su looked at Kevin's calm demeanor and clearly understood one thing—if his so-called plan was really just placing all his courage on 'hoping for a miracle, Ellie,' then the latter probably wouldn't mind kicking him to the ground and rushing out of the Quantum Sea to start the Stigmata Project directly.
Damn, 50,000 years ago, they really had no other choice but to do it that way.
Now that there are other ways, why would you still expect 'Amazing Ellie, creating miracles'?
If this were sent to Paradise, I'm afraid that besides Paradise Ellie, even Paddy Canned Gretsch would come up and kick it a couple of times.
But you might ask if there are any other methods.
Su's eyebrows trembled slightly, filled with helplessness.
Even a genius like Dr. MEI could only come up with the Stigmata Project, which was guaranteed to be feasible.
Although he was a genius worthy of Mebius's recognition.
However, due to various reasons, he was unable to fully utilize this talent.
"I'm so sorry, Su..."
Kevin sighed.
next moment--
With a 'snap', some kind of restriction seemed to shatter.
He appeared before Su, carrying a replica of the Heavenly Fire Greatsword—within this small world, within the size of a mustard seed.
Unlike his trench coat, Kevin now sported horns and disheveled clothing, yet exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Karma Demon...!"
Su frowned, her mind racing.
Of course, he couldn't possibly fail to recognize the posture of his old friend at this moment. In the past, Su had fought alongside him and witnessed the power of this force firsthand.
Thousands of years ago, Kevin didn't even use this thing. In his normal form, he used the power of Parvati to defeat himself, who had used several Divine Keys. Although this was partly because he didn't unleash the full power of those Divine Keys, it was also inseparable from Kevin's strength.
"Are you able to use this now?"
It was somewhat surprising, but not unexpected.
Logically speaking, Kevin's Honkai energy should have been almost completely depleted.
But he didn't believe that his dear friend was truly helpless.
After all, the Sea of Quanta is not entirely devoid of Honkai energy.
Many of the fallen world bubbles contain a considerable amount of Honkai energy.
"The quantity is not enough, but... it's sufficient."
“You should understand. You can’t stop me, Sue.” Kevin raised his hand, his menacing claws slightly curved, stating such a simple fact.
Even though he doesn't possess much Honkai energy, the power he can unleash after entering the Karmic Demon state is incomparable to that of his normal state.
At this moment, even relying solely on his physical strength, he could easily crush Su—this is the confidence of the strongest fusion warrior.
"....Um."
"But I can't just let you leave like this."
"In that case, let me use this long-lost power as well."
With his hands behind his back, Su stood solemnly upright—the next moment, he was replaced by a large, colorful peacock.
'Man-made Collapse', the Fusion Warrior's last trump card.
The practice of trading irrationality for immense power is a flaw that even enlightened beings with profound wisdom find difficult to escape.
Fortunately, after 50,000 years of refinement, Su was able to barely control this power—of course, he didn't use it with the intention of 'defeating' Kevin.
Sue knew very well that even if both collapses were man-made, she would never be a match for Kevin.
However—the Honkai Beast he fused with was extremely unique.
The Emperor-class Honkai companion beast 'Moyuri' of the former Eighth Herrscher of Civilization possesses the special ability to 'dissolve the spirits of others'.
This special ability prevented Su from being completely overwhelmed, even when facing Kevin, who had acquired extremely strong mental resistance through certain means.
only...
Before Kevin could slowly raise the fake heavenly fire in his hand...
A third party intruded into the space between Mount Sumeru and a mustard seed.
Of course, you could also say they are a third party and a fourth party?
"Uh? Did I come at a bad time?"
Blinking her bright pink-and-blue eyes, the girl with pink hair as beautiful as a flower noticed the tense atmosphere around her and asked a question with some uncertainty.
The magnificent peacock shook its spread tail feathers and froze in place—in contrast, of course.
Kevin, holding the sword, was also somewhat... silent.
He gazed at that incredibly familiar face and spoke with difficulty:
“Aili...Xia”.
The existence of Alicia was not surprising to him, as he had already heard a lot about her.
Kevin thought he could look at this matter objectively and calmly.
But when he actually saw the other person standing in front of him, Kevin couldn't calm down at all.
The girl, sensing this emotion, smiled.
"Although it might not be appropriate for me to say that."
"but..."
'Alicia' gently tossed her flowing hair, rested her hand on her slender waist, and chuckled softly in her sweet voice:
"Long time no see, Sue and Kevin."
Like greeting a long-lost friend, the tone was very soft, so soft that it was almost indistinct due to the distance between them.
But both Sue and Kevin heard it very clearly.
A familiar smile, a familiar voice, and that familiar expression...
Everything is so nostalgic, as if we have returned to the time when we fought side by side 50,000 years ago.
"Clang~"
The replica of the Heavenly Fire Judgment fell to the ground. The man named Kevin showed no change, but through his trembling eyebrows and dazed pupils, it was clear that he was not as calm as he appeared.
"Hmm~ Aren't you surprised to see me?"
"Then let's try again."
Hey~ Did you miss me?
The young girl had a radiant smile.
"But it's really surprising that you actually came out? Hmm, that's good, it saves me a lot of trouble... Of course, let's not talk about that now."
"Come on, let me take a good look!"
The fairy-like girl approached Kevin and, while he remained silent, smiled and gently touched his face.
"Oh dear, it hasn't changed at all!"
"Fifty thousand years have passed, Kevin, and you still look exactly the same as before."
"Time hasn't left many marks on the Fusion Warriors." Kevin subconsciously took a step back—not for any other reason, but simply because of his physical constitution, which caused ordinary people to get frostbite if they got close to him.
He instinctively tried to avoid this, but 'Alicia' didn't seem to care, simply lowering her hand and sighing:
"That's true~ It's like after undergoing fusion warrior surgery, no matter how much you eat, you won't gain weight, and you won't have any weight or skin anxiety or anything like that—of course, boys probably don't care about that, but... you know, Kevin, that's not what I'm talking about."
"It must have been really tough during that long period of time, right?"
"...That's not true." Kevin denied it outright.
This amused the latter.
