My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

She is very likely similar to the alien life form that resides in the Valkyrie named Shub Nicholas in Schicksal.

It is highly likely that the "illusion dream" refers to a secret alliance formed by multiple business groups.

It's not impossible for a consortium of businesses to create the same kind of armor Wendy used, through a massive investment.

Walter Young slowly recounted his conjecture, and Tesla nodded upon hearing it.

These speculations are indeed possibilities. It's impossible for a force to suddenly appear in one's own world. The organizations Dream and Passion should be able to find the source of their funding.

It's highly likely that Huanmeng is a business conglomerate, but it doesn't use that name in public.

The passion likely involves the underworld, originating from gangsters. The leader is right; we should keep an eye out for that.

"As for Faust and the Honkai Impact 3rd Alliance, Kiana's armor might be related to them."

Tesla thought for a moment and then spoke. Hearing Tesla's words, Ai Yin, who was focused on analyzing the plot on the screen, nodded:

"What Dr. Tesla said is indeed possible. Kiana's armor system has a distinct style that is different from that of the Dream and Destiny."

Genius physicists are not gods; they can't conjure up materials out of thin air. Kiana must have had someone supporting her when she was researching that build's armor.

Although the materials used and the style of the armor differ from those of the two major factions, the location of the activator suggests that Kiana likely drew inspiration from the armor of the Phantom Dream.

Chapter 295: Kevin: It's all fake, it's all fake.

"And so, from this moment on, the prayer war for supremacy among the eight major powers officially begins~"

The first round of the competition will be held in a week, giving all participants a week to improve their speed through various means.

Oh right, I almost forgot something. Since most people don't know much about the eight major powers, I'll be randomly playing some valuable historical materials about them.

Those historical materials may contain things like speeches and experiences of creating the business.

After he finished speaking, a spinning wheel appeared next to Zhenping. The pointer on the wheel, which had the names of eight factions written on it, spun rapidly and eventually landed on the World Serpent.

"Well then, let's start today by playing some precious historical records of Kevin, the Lord of the World Serpent."

This historical record was taken before the creation of the World Serpent, showing a young Kevin giving an inspiring speech. Seeing this footage again today moves me deeply…

"Ahem, I misread the script. Alright, without further ado, please enjoy a precious transcript of a speech by the young and ambitious World Serpent Lord."

Kevin looked at the screen in front of him without much emotional fluctuation. A speech... a speech is good.

This is a good opportunity to spread my ideas, let those people see the purpose of World Serpent, and maybe even recruit some talent.

However, for some reason, Kevin inexplicably felt like he had slightly shattered the screen.

Kevin shook his head, thinking he might be overthinking things.

It's impossible that a Herrscher team is lurking behind this screen and suddenly jumps out to kill me. Death is definitely not the case. I'm probably just overthinking it.

Besides, places where intelligence gathers never use force to detain people. Hmm, I must be overthinking it.

"The Lord's precious speech materials? Hmm, I must record them all and read them carefully when I get home, to understand the Lord's great thoughts."

The gray snake looked at the screen and said, "The snake will be eternal."

The movie theater is now packed with officials from various factions in the Honkai world. This is a good opportunity to let them witness the great goal of our World Serpent.

So much for being a simp...

Night Owl glanced at Gray Snake beside him and twitched his lips speechlessly. At the same time, Otto and Walter Yang both perked up.

They were quite curious about that mysterious and unpredictable Serpent Lord.

"The Lord of the World Serpent... I wonder if your speech will bring me any surprises."

Otto leaned back in his chair and spoke leisurely. Because the volume amplification function was turned on, Otto's voice was louder than everyone else's in the movie theater.

However, Otto didn't seem to notice this yet, and the other Valkyries beside him didn't seem to have any intention of reminding him either.

We must backstab them!

The Valkyrie beside Otto watched quietly as Otto, who had blocked out external sounds and turned on the speakerphone function, quietly watched.

Why am I just watching?

Had I betrayed him?

Oh, I've already betrayed myself.

Bishop Otto was licentious and immoral; if we're talking about wise rulers, there's no one like Theresa Apocalypse.

Unfortunately, the dean doesn't seem to have any ambition to seize power.

The Valkyrie, who came from St. Freya Academy, seemed to have a better impression of Theresa than Otto, and at this moment, she genuinely hoped that Theresa could take her place.

The world's cutest headmaster is omnipotent; if he were the headmaster, he could definitely manage destiny well!

As the Valkyrie thought this, a somewhat unfamiliar voice rang out from the screen:

"Listen up, all of humanity! Since we are united..."

A somewhat immature voice came from the white-haired boy inside the screen, and Raven nodded as he looked at that familiar voice.

There's no mistake. Although his tone was still somewhat immature and his spirit was quite different from now, the person on the screen was undoubtedly the Lord!

Is this the Lord in his youth? His voice is so energetic, so... a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).

See clearly who destroyed you...

As expected, anyone can say these kinds of lines. It doesn't feel out of place at all for the current Lord to say them.

However, this still somewhat green master... I felt really awkward watching this speech.

Raven gave an awkward yet polite smile, a hint of regret creeping into her heart.

Could I have seen something I shouldn't have?

Well, it should be nothing serious. It's just that the Lord's choice of words was a bit too childish.

Meanwhile, not far from the raven, Kevin, who was giving a speech on the screen, was somewhat bewildered.

Who is that person on the screen?

Did I ever flaunt myself like this in the last era? Judging from the performance on the screen, it seems like I directly blacked out a bunch of electronic screens.

A moth drawn to a flame...?

The person on the screen gave a speech and mentioned that name, right? I do belong to that organization. Could it be... that I actually gave a speech like that before?

Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense either. What is the Human Union? Why would you want to destroy it?

Kevin was filled with questions, while Otto frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "The Human Union... the name of this organization is quite similar to that Collapse Union."

Otto kept speculating in his mind whether the two organizations might have some kind of relationship.

There's no need to reveal this information for now; sometimes, intelligence can be of great value.

After completing his deductions with the help of Void Treasury, he could sell the information about the Human Union, which might be renamed the Collapse Union, to Anti-Entropy to earn some money.

As the person on the screen continued their speech, Kevin's expression gradually froze.

What are you saying?

The other version of himself on the screen felt completely unfamiliar to Kevin. No, it wasn't him at all. Kevin could never admit that this kind of adolescent delusions were his own!

It's all fake, all fake.

Kevin was certain that the person on the screen was not himself, but that despicable scheme orchestrated by Zhen Gongping, who was risking the name of the Kaslana family.

I would never say such childish things. Look, look, what is Kevin on the screen saying?

Tear off the carefully crafted mask, expose the ugly faces of hypocrites, shatter the corrupt laws, and bring down the iron hammer of justice upon the unjust.

Tear, tear, tear! What are you trying to tear? What dirty rules do you think you can break? How did you even manage to utter such shameful lines? What kind of shameful performance are you playing?

Chapter 296: Kevin: Brilliant!

Is this the World Serpent Lord's speech...? Pfft, Kevin, I didn't expect you to still be a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer.

Watching the scene playing on the screen, Su, who was hiding in the shadows and had not revealed her identity, almost burst out laughing.

That's not me.

Looking at his own reflection on the screen, Kevin felt an urge to kill someone.

The calamity is over; it's time to drink the blood.

Looking around, Kevin wanted to see if there was anything he could practice on.

"Kevin... it's actually not a problem to use lines from these stories a little bit. If it makes you feel more relaxed, you can try it more often."

Looking at her former comrades, Fu Hua thought for a moment and then offered words of comfort.

"I didn't, Hua, you have to believe me, that really wasn't me."

Kevin blocked the external transmission of sound and set up a channel using the theater's features.

The password for this channel isn't hard to guess; it's related to my past self during the Fire Moth era. However, there aren't many beings left in this era who have survived from the previous age.

It's impossible for me to suddenly encounter a familiar person who is about my age. Right now, the only warriors of the Fire Moths present are myself and Fu Hua.

Kevin felt that Fu Hua would definitely understand him; the Fire Moths were a serious savior organization, how could they be a gathering place for chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers?

If I really am a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), I don't intend to deny it, but... but I really didn't say those words on the screen.

What comes from the most filthy underground, what comes from the dirtiest ruins? The wording is so unique... Wait a minute, why do I feel a little excited about this?

"Wonderful."

Ye Qing is back!

Remembering his other self's words, Kevin subconsciously nodded. Maybe he should use this style to establish a connection first, since they hadn't seen each other for so long.

"That's right, that's how it should be. Even in darkness, we should burn ourselves out to chase that ray of light and correct this flawed world!"

Kevin wasn't too wary of Fu Hua and subconsciously revealed his true self in front of his old comrade.

Brilliant! These lines are a perfect match for me, Kevin Kaslana!

Kevin, you.......

Just as Fu Hua was about to say that the way you speak is so strange, she remembered Kevin's words and subconsciously nodded in agreement.
