A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

"Annihilation...Liberation!"

With the core of the Herrscher of Flame from the previous era and the core of the Herrscher of Binding from this era simultaneously entering the Skyfire Greatsword, the Skyfire Greatsword in Kevin's hand finally returned to its state of destruction.

"A sneak attack that also steals monster kills? Well then..."

After absorbing the remaining Honkai energy in the air, Gu Yu immediately swiped a card.

【KamenRide ZO (Ultimate Kamen Ride)】

"You have no martial ethics, huh? Then..."

As the emerald green armor adhered to his body, two tear streaks appeared between the eyes of the Ancient Rain Mask.

"I'll use this card to play against you, Kevin."

"After all, I'm currently in a state of extreme anger!"

PS1: Sixteenth update, update level 37

Chapter 357. Ignite the Fire in My Heart, and I Will Destroy You!

"Ha... Shall we fight?"

Seeing the changes in the armor on the boy's body, Kevin let out a slightly helpless sigh.

"Why bother? I've already said, you and I are not enemies. Besides, although I don't know how you learned about our Stigmata Project, since you know about it, you must be quite clear about it..."

"Human time is really running out."

Ignoring the wary Valkyries, Kevin continued speaking to himself.

"The third Herrscher of the previous era, the Herrscher of Thunder, the fourth Herrscher of Wind, and the eleventh Herrscher of Binding have all awakened in less than half a year."

"Because of Destiny's lukewarm approach, humanity doesn't have much time left to fight the Honkai."

"At this rate of awakening—how long do you think it will be before the Herrscher of the End descends upon the Honkai?"

Although Gu Yu was very annoyed by Kevin's words, after Kevin said those things, she felt that some of his words were indeed not without reason.

According to the original timeline, after the Third Herrscher awakened in 2014, Wendy, who possessed the Gem of Desire, would not have fully Herrscherized and awakened as the Fourth Herrscher in 2016.

The subsequent Fifth Herrscher [Herrscher of Ice] Anna Schariac and the Ninth Herrscher [Herrscher of Rock] Chen Tianwu, although they came into contact with the power of the Herrscher during the Manila Collapse in 2015, did not complete their Herrscher transformation until the end of 2017.

The next Herrscher of Reason Fu Hua seems to have even shorter awakening intervals... But from two years, one year, and several months, to now having three awakened in less than half a year, the latter speed seems much faster.

Thinking from this perspective, perhaps the time allotted to people is also shortened.

"It seems you understand now that what I said was not untrue."

Seeing that Gu Yu remained silent for a few seconds after hearing his words, Kevin spoke sincerely again.

"Come to our side. Compared to the lukewarm Fate, only World Serpent can help humanity defeat the Honkai."

In his observation just now, Kevin had surveyed the entire battlefield.

Here, the Valkyrie of Destiny has very few people who pose a threat to her.

Moreover, he saw his old friend Hua among these people who could threaten him.

But now, Kevin felt this wasn't the time for old friends to catch up.

Most Valkyries... according to the classification method of this era, most of those appearing on the battlefield are B-rank Valkyries.

Apart from the little girl from the Kaslana clan and the little girl with the gift from the Quantum Sea, most of the B-rank Valkyries were struggling to even breathe under Kevin's invisible pressure.

And how many A-rank Valkyries are there in the Far East Branch?

However, the S-rank Valkyrie over there, Theresa Apocalypse, is indeed quite powerful.

If we had to categorize her, Theresa, who fused with the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Vishnu, is more like a Fusion Warrior of this era.

Combined with the Divine Key [Oath of Judah] in her possession, if she were at her peak, she might cause some trouble.

Unfortunately, although Theresa doesn't appear to have any major problems, to a seasoned warrior like Kevin, there are far too many flaws in Theresa's appearance.

She was able to stand steadily only by sheer willpower; the damage inflicted on her by the Herrscher of Restraint had not been fully recovered in just a few minutes.

As for those few Herrscher girls over there... ha, just little girls with power but no idea how to use it, not worth mentioning.

On this battlefield, the only person I need to be most careful of is indeed the young man in front of me.

"To reiterate, I do not agree with this way of human survival."

However, after hearing Kevin's second invitation, Gu Yu finally gave the same answer as before.

"After implementing your so-called Holy Mark Project, how many of humanity will be left? A hundred million? Fifty million? Or a few million?"

"Your Moths were defeated by the Honkai, and I understand your personal hatred for the Honkai. But you want to drag all of humanity into your so-called grand plan and take their lives—"

In just a moment, Kevin felt that the pressure Gu Yu exerted on him had increased several times over.

"—In my opinion, you guys are just like those bastards from the Honkai, you deserve to die!"

As Gu Yu shouted those words, Kevin had already raised the Destroyer in his hand as a defensive tool to parry.

If it weren't for his extensive combat experience and the high level of intuition he had developed on the battlefield, he might already be punched in the face by now.

"It doesn't make sense... then!"

At that moment, Kevin's gaze turned cold as he looked at the boy in front of him.

"I'm sorry, young man. Although I won't kill you, but..."

"Anyone who stands in my way of fighting the Honkai will be crushed without exception!"

After confirming that the boy in front of him could not be persuaded, Kevin immediately activated the Honkai energy factor within his body.

After completing this operation, half of his face appeared as a mask resembling a demon, and a piece of arm armor also appeared on his arm.

The several Herrscher girls who were originally preparing to approach the battlefield to assist Gu Yu were simultaneously intimidated by Kevin's increased aura at this moment.

This guy... is even stronger than before?!

He is far more powerful than any of us who have activated the power of a Herrscher.

Having activated the Honkai Beast factor within his body, Kevin unleashed his ability without warning, extending the Heavenly Fire Greatsword from the ice and attaching it to Gu Yu's right fist.

If you can control even one of the opponent's limbs, it's equivalent to stripping away a significant portion of their combat power during battle.

Gu Yu, already extremely weak, would be even worse if Kevin took away control of one of her arms...

"Hey, is this all there is to it?"

However, the moment the ice froze Gu Yu's right arm, Kevin suddenly took two steps back.

However, this time, he was too slow to retreat and avoid the attack.

"You spout eloquent and righteous words, yet commit murder. Kevin Kaslana, you piece of shit, you infuriate me. Now..."

After the ice was shattered by Gu Yu's force, Gu Yu's figure turned into a blur and appeared behind Kevin.

"A fire in the heart is called the fire of the heart."

Then, Gu Yu opened his teeth, and vaporized energy was released from the small hole on his head.

"Ignite the fire within—and I will crush you!"

Chapter 358. The Power of Wrath

From the moment Gu Yu met Kevin Kaslana, he knew that it was clearly impossible for him to leave New Zealand safely today.

Regardless of how later generations evaluate Kevin, his superb fighting ability cannot be denied.

Just three years after joining the Firemoth, Kevin led his team to defeat the Sixth Herrscher.

At that time, Kevin did not have the Divine Key [Judgment of Heavenly Fire], nor had he been transformed into a Fusion Warrior. He simply relied on his personal qualities as a Honkai Warrior to kill the Herrscher.

The reason why the Seventh Herrscher [Herrscher of Flame] Himeko has such powerful combat ability is inseparable from her previous membership in the Firemoth.

Kevin's ability to kill the Honkai Beast directly after obtaining it demonstrates his exceptional adaptability.

From this perspective, Gu Yu is not only facing a powerful and experienced warrior, but he may also be facing an analyst with extremely strong analytical skills.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Yu could rely on the Decade's versatile characteristics to put up a fight against Kevin.

However, Gu Yu hasn't recovered from the aftereffects of her fight with the Herrscher of Binding.

The Herrschers of Binding are not very strong. Whether it is the Eleven Herrschers of the previous era or the Tiger Orphnoch Momose who just fought against Gu Yu, they are not considered outstanding in terms of their own strength.

The true strength of this Herrscher lies in its power, [Boundary Barrier], which is extremely powerful in weakening enemies.

When Honkai soldiers enter, their brainwaves are immediately erased. Even powerful fusion warriors entering the restraint barrier will have their Honkai energy and physical abilities suppressed to a minimum.

Kevin was able to kill him because the boss was awesome, and Gu Yu was able to beat this guy to death just now, entirely because the Rider Punch bonus effect of Kamen Rider Joker was too overpowered.

Momose's death was so sudden that, rather than saying that Kouyu killed him, it would be more accurate to say that his personal strength was amplified too much, and he died by his own hand.

However, in the aftermath of the war, Gu Yu's physical strength and Honkai energy control level had clearly fallen to less than 30% to 50% of his usual level.

Even though the cards had regained their colors, he felt it was no longer appropriate to continue using the original tactics at this point.

Moreover—Kevin, that bastard, just absorbed a significant amount of Honkai energy that the Herrscher of Binding used to create the Fifth Honkai.

In other words, the aftermath of Gu Yu killing Chi You is gone.

Even without the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You, Kevin, having absorbed the currently unclaimed Honkai energy, has recovered to near his peak combat power.

So now...

"Let's be straightforward and fight using this method, since it's a rare occasion!"

—Gu Yucai chose Kamen Rider ZO as a means of countermeasures.

As a Kamen Rider who exists between the Heisei and Showa eras, Kamen Rider ZO has received very little discussion in terms of various aspects.

However, Gu Yu was well aware that his performance was definitely among the top tier of Showa Riders.

While the regular Kamen Rider ZO is slightly weaker than Kamen Rider Black Rx's 70T in punching power, it surpasses Kamen Rider Black Rx's 120T in kicking power.

If it were just a hand-to-hand combat without weapons, and ignoring the abilities of the transformed individuals, ZO would have a slight edge over Rx.
