A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

That boy with clear eyes, just like Kevin who never despaired, was fighting against the Honkai.

He saved my life, and he saved countless lives around the world. Now, because my good friend said a few words full of flaws, I'm starting to doubt my savior?

Su felt she wasn't that despicable.

As for the claim that Gu Yu gathered the Lawbringers with ulterior motives, Su felt it was utter nonsense.

If Gu Yu was gathering Herrschers as her own fighting force, there was absolutely no need for her to give the extremely high-quality [Herrscher of Rock] core to Su.

Even if it were just to save Su, he could have easily picked any pseudo-Herrscher core and let Su deal with it.

Furthermore, Gu Yu seems to also control the core of the Herrscher of Flame.

If the opponent wants to amplify their combat power and cause trouble, there is absolutely no need to remove this core from Himeko Murata's body. They only need to have their Herrscher personality shattered, just like Anna Schariac, to make Himeko Murata a powerful combatant.

No matter what details he deduced, Sue couldn't reach that bizarre conclusion like Kevin.

But what he truly cared about wasn't these things, but rather...

—Gu Yu, have you been deceived and misled by something?

In its struggle against humanity, Honkai has already evolved itself as a phenomenon.

The Herrschers of Binding that appeared in the previous era were Herrschers created specifically to counter Fusion Warriors.

In the battles of this era, more than half of the Herrschers chosen by the Honkai were selected from those powerful alien beings.

If these strange objects have some oddities on them, then the Herrscher cores they dropped might also be covered with something bad.

Add to that the dark warrior who was hiding in Gu Yu's consciousness before...

"I see. I think I understand now what my unease was about."

Kevin smiled with relief after hearing Sue say those words.

“Old friend, you finally understand, Gu Yu…”

"—Kevin, you think Gu Yu has already become a Herrscher, right?"

Yae Sakura [? ? ?]

Kevin [? ? ?]

"what?"

Recalling her experiences with Gu Yu, Su's expression immediately turned helpless.

"Based on the pattern of Herrscher appearances in the previous era, the Honkai will, with probability, send out Herrschers to target our powerful forces, depending on the progress of our human technology."

"Back then, when Mei easily killed [Fusion], we didn't know the Herrscher's abilities. But now, I can confirm that Mr. Gu Yu has a second personality within him."

Yes... a second personality!

Yes, that explains why I sensed a change in Gu Yu's aura and the subsequent burst of powerful combat strength back in the Oceania branch.

This is...this is his Herrscher persona!

"And Gu Yu is surrounded by a large number of Divine Keys and Herrschers... Are you saying that fusing the power of Herrschers means fusing the power of other Herrschers to fight?"

"Well, Mei didn't tell us about the powers of the Fusion Herrschers in detail back then. She only left us with the conclusion that the Fusion Key is too dangerous and should not be used unless absolutely necessary."

"So Mr. Gu Yu has been gathering Herrschers and collecting Divine Keys in preparation for absorbing the core powers of Herrschers and integrating them into his own body in the future?"

After stating his speculation, Su let out a helpless sigh.

“The idea is good, but Kevin, haven’t you forgotten something…”

"—Mr. Gu Yu has a very strong will. If he becomes a Herrscher, it will save us a lot of trouble, okay?"

Chapter 612. He finally went mad.

“The idea is good, but Kevin, haven’t you forgotten something…”

"—Mr. Gu Yu has a very strong will. If he becomes a Herrscher, it will save us a lot of trouble, okay?"

After Sue stated her deduced conclusion, Kevin's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.

"Su, you truly live up to your reputation..."

After all—Kevin hadn't expected any of the conclusions Sue had drawn!

Indeed, in the past, in order to spend more time with his lover Mei, he specifically studied the technology related to Mei's contact in his spare time.

In terms of scientific research, Kevin is quite quick-witted.

But that's all there is to it.

Sue's opportunity to become a Fusion Warrior stemmed from the commotion caused by the Herrscher of Knowledge in the previous era, which had driven the Flame Chaser to the brink of despair.

And his development into a psycho-sensory fusion warrior is a real achievement.

If Kevin and Sue hadn't been close friends, how could Kevin have discovered Sue's feelings 1,500 years ago?

Now, after Sue made these speculations, Kevin, having reorganized the information in his mind once again, discovered...

—Old friend, you're absolutely right.

Except for the fact that Gu Yu became a Herrscher and posed no threat to humanity, everything else matches up.

There are currently eleven Herrschers who have been defeated, and the Herrschers who have not yet appeared, besides the Herrscher of Death, are the most mysterious Herrscher of Fusion.

Information about the Herrscher of Fusion is considered top secret within the Flame Chaser faction. Even when Kevin asked Mei about it, she only shook her head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more.

However, Su has now roughly deduced how the Fusion Herrscher uses his powers.

Now that Kevin has a clear understanding of the Herrscher of Fusion's fighting style, how could he possibly remain calm?

In the previous era, the reason why the Fusion Herrscher was easily defeated was because the Divine Keys and Herrscher Cores had been collected by the Flame Chaser.

Without food, the Fusion Herrscher cannot improve its strength, which is why Mei easily found an opportunity to defeat it and extracted its core to make it into a Divine Key.

But the situation is different now.

Gu Yu himself is extremely powerful. If he is indeed the Herrscher of Fusion as speculated, then he can fuse the Divine Key cores he has collected with the cores of those Herrschers at any time.

Even without fusing with a core, the Herrscher of Fusion made Mei extremely wary.

Moreover, Kevin believed that May's judgment was correct; the Herrscher that appeared closest to the eve of the end must be one created by the Honkai to target humanity.

The fact that this Herrscher was easily defeated shows that his floor is low, but as a card released before the end of Honkai, the theoretical ceiling of this Herrscher's strength should be very high.

The Ancient Rain of this era far surpasses the Fusion Herrscher of the previous era, and he also possesses beings he can fuse with...

After hearing Sue's analysis, how could Kevin possibly remain seated?

"Su, now that you've analyzed all of this, why are you still so stubbornly clinging to your beliefs!"

“Kevin, we’ve both seen many. The Herrschers of this era are not the Herrschers of the previous era.”

"The Herrschers of the previous era, as apostles of Honkai, have been entangled with and fought to the death with humanity."

"However, while some of the Herrschers in this era are even more terrifying than those in the previous era, some of them have chosen to protect humanity."

"Are you really going to point your weapon at those guardians because of your own suspicions and anxieties? The Kevin I know is nothing..."

Before Su could finish speaking, Yae Sakura suddenly pulled him forcefully and threw him into the space behind.

At the same moment, Kevin swung his longsword, easily cleaving the space in front of everyone.

"Kevin, you...!"

Looking at the shattered ground in front of him, Su shook his head with a wry smile after their eyes met.

“Su, you are my dearest friend. You were, you are, and you will be. But, I said this 1,500 years ago…”

After gathering Honkai energy into his weapon, Kevin said indifferently.

“I know the Stigmata Project is the worst possible plan, but humanity has no other choice now. The end is near, and fusion possesses such terrifying power. So now there is only one thing I can do…”

"—Complete the [Stigmata Project]! Even if it means sacrificing countless innocent lives, I will complete this project! I will bear this sin alone!"

"Is that so? I've been running away all along... Ha, I should have figured it out 1,500 years ago."

After meeting Kevin's cold gaze, Su finally realized that she had been terribly wrong for the past 1,500 years.

During the battle 1,500 years ago when Kevin spared him, Sue once thought that Kevin was just being stubborn for a moment and had not changed at all.

But now, as the super-mutant factor unleashed its icy power, Su's heart gradually turned cold.

Kevin is dead.

The moment May died, Kevin died completely.

The person standing in front of Su was not the big boy who fought hard but had a very soft heart.

The will to vengeful had taken control of his mind, driving him to utter madness.

This madness even made him stop believing in the possibilities of humanity.

Therefore, he thought of continuing the Stigmata Project and trying to eliminate humanity's greatest hope, the [Herrscher of Fusion] Gu Yu.

"Fifteen hundred years ago, I was filled with guilt and panic. But now, I have no more hesitation in my heart."

After activating the powers of the Herrscher of Rock, Su said coldly to Kevin.

“Kevin, I’m going to carry out the [Overseer Project] here… May mentioned it in the Overseer Project she left behind.”

"If you go astray, then I will stop you!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Yae Sakura saw the two figures disappear from the spot.

Then, Yae Sakura, who was preparing to join the battle, realized that this battle was completely beyond her control.

Yae Sakura's quantum teleportation system can transmit over long distances, but Kevin's quantum teleportation system has been optimized by Jackal.

In addition to long-distance migration, Kevin can also launch short-distance teleportation without any pre-cast delay to ambush enemies.

If Su hadn't happened to be a Herrscher with the power to control the Key of the Void, she might have already been easily ambushed by Kevin and had her Herrscher core extracted.

Even if I obtained the Key of Corruption, would my own abilities still be insufficient to keep up with these top warriors...?

Indeed, I shouldn't have thought of fighting with a katana.

There are many things you can do with this Jizo-Mitama!
