Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 223 You know nothing about Honkai Impact 1

That man has returned.

"1500 years, it has been 1500 years."

Even with Walter's elaborate traps, Kevin Kaslana returned—as if the trap maze that Old Yang had painstakingly created was a joke.

"I have been asleep for far too long. Now, I am returning to fulfill my mission!"

Gazing at Welt and the two girls, Qiong and Seele, whom he was protecting behind him, Kevin, with his arms crossed, slowly took a step forward.

Unlike the ethereal feeling in the Sea of ​​Quanta, Kevin's voice, now in reality, was deep and powerful, as if every word carried an irresistible force.

"Don't even think about it!"

The one who directly confronts this force is naturally Walter Yang, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.

"Eden's Star!"

Before he could even lament the waste of his maze, Walter suppressed his curiosity about Kevin's swift emergence and his physical discomfort, and once again assumed a fighting stance. Eden's Star unleashed a black beam of light that shot towards Kevin.

"Rule of Law, stop."

However, Kevin simply raised his hand, and an invisible barrier blocked the attack. Walter's hasty strike couldn't even get close to Kevin.

"Is all you can offer besides imitating the Herrscher of Rock? That won't stop me!"

Kevin's calm tone and the unambiguous look in his eyes only fueled Walter's anger: he, Walter, could be a hero, a guide, and even die repeatedly in a heroic sacrifice, but he could never be looked down upon!

Didn't you want to take his Law of Reason core before? Fine, come and take it if you dare!

"Alliance Leader, we're here to help you!"

"Nobody come any closer!"

The Anti-Entropy members, who had been confused just moments before, responded swiftly to Walter's actions, only to be sternly stopped by Walter.

Haiyuan City is already Anti-Entropy's territory. Fighting in their own backyard is already a disadvantage enough. If they drag the weak and incompetent staff from the surrounding area into it... then it won't just be economic losses, but also casualties.

"But--"

"Step back, that's an order!"

However, Walter's stern rebukes only stopped the people in the reverse entropy sequence.

"I'm glad that you, this generation, have unwavering ideals and beliefs to fight against the Honkai, it's just a pity that you are so ungrateful to the Honkai..."

"Enough with the nonsense, take this shot!"

With a loud shout, a fiery afterimage rushed out from behind Walter.

The afterimage was surrounded by raging flames, the intense heat instantly distorting the surrounding air. The white-haired man's spear was wreathed in purple flames…

Wait, white hair? Purple flames?

Walter could hardly believe his eyes. That was definitely Sora, wasn't it? But why had her hair changed color? It wasn't like this when Kevin came out!

There's also purple flame. You know, red flames are around 600 to 1000 degrees Celsius, while purple flames are at least 1000 degrees Celsius...

Could it be because of that Stigmata?!

"Everyone, get out of here!"

The space is too narrow, and Qiong's attacks will affect those around her.

Unaware of the danger, Qiong charged towards Kevin, enveloped in a wave of heat. The attack had scorched the laboratory floor, leaving black marks, and unsurprisingly, the rapidly spreading heat covered the precision instruments surrounding the Eye of the Abyss, rendering them largely unusable…

Because Kevin was very close, Qiong shouted and thrust out the flaming spear in his hand with all his might as he forced his way in.

In an instant, the wave of fire surged towards Kevin's ice shield like a raging tide, the scorching flames instantly engulfing him and his ice shield—this time the ice shield didn't melt, the fire spear didn't pierce through it, it probably just vaporized...

"Ugh?"

Even Lian Qiong herself didn't expect that she only wanted to take advantage of Kevin's inattention to launch a surprise attack and create an opportunity for Lao Yang. She didn't even shout "Flame Spear Charge"... Was she really that strong? Was the effect too good?

I underestimated you.

Just as Qiong was surprised by her success, a hand suddenly reached out from the purple sea of ​​fire—just like in the Sea of ​​Quanta, when Kevin grabbed the tip of the Flame Spear.

Kevin emerged from the flames looking somewhat disheveled; his once clean clothes bore burn marks in several places, and his icy face was stained black from the attack.

"But like I said, this is far from it—hmm?"

Kevin, his body moving before his eyes and mouth, swung his hand backhand, unleashing an invisible attack that whistled through the air towards Qiong. Qiong tried to dodge but couldn't see where it was coming from. Unable to raise his flame spear in time, he was sent flying, crashing into the laboratory wall.

"Um……"

However, after the attack, Kevin looked at Sora, whose hair had suddenly turned white, and was a little confused.

"Qiong! Kevin!"

"I have no intention of adhering to the laws of reason..."

Kevin frowned; explaining was useless! The surrounding space began to distort once again: the Herrscher of Reason was using the Star of Eden to create a black hole again.

He had tried to communicate amicably, but perhaps due to his current attitude, every time he showed goodwill and advised Walter to stop and take care of his body in the Sea of ​​Quanta, it would provoke another attack. Even though his body was already broken and battered, as long as he persuaded Walter to stop, Walter would use strength and willpower that he couldn't understand to fight him again...

Threaten to kill him? The effect is the same; Walter will still get up and keep fighting…

It's a miracle that his body has held up until now; he really doesn't care about his own life at all.

With a casual strike, Kevin temporarily neutralized Walter's desperate attempt at a simulated black hole attack and repelled him. He then strode toward the dome he had knocked away—it had been too long since he had walked properly, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"No, you mustn't hurt Seele's friends!"

However, an unexpected obstacle appeared. After most people left because of the Herrscher of Reason's orders, the girl who came out with them did not leave and is now blocking their way.

She was trembling slightly; she must have been very scared.

"Seele won't let you pass!"

The girl wielding the quantum scythe stood between Sora and Kevin, her legs trembling but her eyes surprisingly resolute.

Kevin frowned slightly. Although he hadn't expected to be understood or welcomed, he was repeatedly ambushed by the modern civilization warriors he respected as villains as soon as he set sail. Among them were even those who looked very much like him, and who were probably his own...

Sure enough, even though I don't care about those things anymore, I'm still a little annoyed.

"Seele, you can't beat him, get out of the way!"

"No, Seele won't leave!"

Just as Seele resolutely refused to back down, Qiong stood up from the wall again.

Looking at the dome before him, Kevin no longer felt the same appreciation as before, but rather a strange attitude that he couldn't quite explain...

"you……"

The white-haired woman repositioned her baseball bat and flamethrower, much to Kevin's dismay: were all his descendants like this? Or were the warriors of modern civilization simply the type who refused to listen to reason?

Forget it, let's not fight anymore. They'll understand later. Let's go find Gray Snake now.

"Know nothing about the Honkai..."

Kevin glanced one last time at Seele, who was on high alert, and at Sora and Welt, who were ready to fight again, before walking toward the door without looking back.
