Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

Kevin slowly opened his eyes: "But I believe her... Since Mei will come to see me, it proves that she is definitely not false, otherwise she would not come to see me."

"I also believe in Long, because you are definitely not the kind of person who would create a new life named [Alicia] that fundamentally cuts off the causal relationship. I believe that you will be able to truly [create something out of nothing]. "

"So I chose to believe - and let Mei fall into my arms."

Kevin looked at Long with firm eyes: "I believe in you - and no matter what your nature is, you are my comrade-in-arms, my friend, and my companion."

"It turns out I was right, you really did it."

Long smiled: "Yes, I did."

The three of them clinked glasses, and all their unnecessary emotions were completely absorbed into the clinking of glasses.

Long just took a sip and suddenly blinked.

Sue and Kevin didn't know what was going on.

But Long became interested and said, "Ai Li asked me something through the spiritual connection just now."

"what?"

"Didn't Ellie hold a tea party at St. Freya Academy today? Mei, Eden, Velvet, and Mebius were invited to attend."

Kevin nodded slightly: "I know this, Mei told me."

A very gossipy look appeared on Long's face, which made Kevin and Su alert at the same time.

They all know that when this look appears on the faces of the couple Long and Aili, it means that they are thinking of some "conspiracy".

"..."

"Speak directly, Long." Kevin crossed his arms in preparation for the question.

"It's like this. Ai Li asked me just now that she and Mei had reached an agreement, saying that when Ai Li and I get married, Mei will marry you, and asked me if I would like the four of us to have a wedding together." Long said on his face. The smile became more obvious: "What do you think?"

Kevin's expression... remained unchanged.

But what about his mood~

Like a huge wave!

Kevin didn't speak for a while...

Long smiled: "What's wrong, Kevin, can you say something? Eden said he could be a makeup artist, Velvet said he could do on-site design, and Mebius said he could be a master of ceremonies. Everyone was very enthusiastic about it. ~"

"Also, if everyone in the organization hears this news - wow! What's the point of not being happy about it."

"More importantly -" Long paused: "Both you and Mei have... won't deny it, right?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment: "I thought you wouldn't mention that aspect."

A few minutes later, Kevin took a deep breath and spoke: "The development of Honkai Impact has only been a few years. After -" he suddenly stopped and thought of something again: "Since Mei asked Alicia to do this Ask...that means Mei agrees."

"Since she agrees, I have no problem here."

"Four people actually only need to ask for your opinion."

"Me and May's wedding... I'm looking forward to it, and I know people in the organization are also looking forward to seeing that day."

"But... don't even think about escaping. We all saw everything that happened between you and Alicia back then."

Up and down, go to the deepest: 234. Descendants of Heroes—Kaslana and Shaniyat (5k)

Long raised his cup: "Okay, in that case, let's find time for the two families to discuss and decide on a time and venue."

Then the three of them continued chatting about other things, enjoying the long-awaited chat between friends, and Kevin and Su also needed to know more details about the world.

"Ah, Takashi, you are really busy with your work, to this extent... you can actually divide your mind into so many parts for operations at the same time." Su said with emotion: "As a spiritual fusion warrior, I’ve tried this and done it, and it’s really a heavy mental burden.”

Long smiled and said: "He who can do it has more work, and it's not that big of a deal. My current strength and limit are very high~ If it hadn't caused a joint counterattack from the world view and the tree, I would have directly destroyed the end or protected the earth no longer." It’s possible to be destroyed by Honkai.”

"But in this case...there will be a lot of things that cannot be accomplished. God gives me strength, and naturally there are requirements."

"How can free food be so easy to eat?"

Su: "Is it a very troublesome task?"

"Well...it's hard to describe. It's actually not that difficult...it's just that the operation is more cumbersome - but as I said before, the entrance and exit of the expressway service area is already determined. I just need to walk on. That’s it.”

Kevin nodded: "Although I don't know what you are talking about...well, I wish you success."

"Received! Hahaha——"

"Now that we've talked about you, Long... it's time to talk about mine." Kevin looked at Long: "Do you really support me in executing the Stigmata plan?... You know, Erice Ya didn’t like that plan.”

"In other words, everyone didn't like it, including me and Mei, but we had no choice then... But now -"

Su stretched out a hand towards Long, and followed Kevin's words: "I have observed countless [miracles] that are not found in countless worlds. They are around us now, and we really still need to implement them...The No. 16 version Stigmata plan?"

"More than two thousand and five hundred years ago, we didn't even have time to implement the first version..." Su paused suddenly as he spoke. He retracted his hand, looked at Kevin and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Kevin..."

Kevin shook his head silently: "Su, I don't care... I have always understood your character."

Hearing this, Su's face became even more embarrassed: "It is precisely because of this that I feel even more regretful... You have always understood me... but I am far from enough."

"Obviously you are willing to shoulder the heavy burden of saving the world. This has never changed, but I just think that you are gradually going crazy because of Mei's disappearance..." Su couldn't help but turned his head and looked at the other side: "I He is an unqualified best friend."

"This is clearly demonstrated by the girl who passed my trial not long ago... If I could trust my best friend like her at that time, go on with him, and truly understand that he has not changed, he has always been the same person The boy who has shouldered everything.”

"Maybe everything will be very different..."

"..." Kevin did not continue to shake his head this time. He looked at Su: "Su, do you know? It is precisely because of you and the existence of the spirit and thoughts you conveyed to me... that I No change."

"If you really chose to obey me at that time, I would probably..." Kevin paused, he didn't know how to describe... After thinking about it: "A man with a heavy mission of saving the world. The forerunner becomes a wanton god in the name of saving the world.”

"No, definitely not!" Su was a little excited: "Kevin, your mental tenacity...we all understand!"

Kevin finally did not refute. Although his tone was still firm, his words were different: "Maybe."

"..."

The two were silent for a long time.

"You've spent over 2000 years atoning for this...I accept your apology, Sue."

It was still Kevin who took the initiative to break the deadlock between the two.

"!?......Thanks."

Su's expression was moved, and thousands of thoughts turned into one sentence.

"But, Su, your more than 2000 years of focusing only on observation...have indeed caused the world to lack guidance in a sense, and many mistakes have been made." Long Que suddenly said.

Su nodded firmly: "I understand... I gave the observation data to the bishop of destiny, which is very useful for his research. Just like Long said before - the bishop went to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers The purpose also plays a role in Long’s plan.”

"In addition, I will work harder to repay the sins caused by my neglect of the world."

Long laughed: "There is no need to be so serious, Su, you must know that you are Yingjie. Of course there is work, but you are undoubtedly a benchmark and representative of hope for mankind."

Su said solemnly: "I understand."

"Su, the girl you just mentioned who passed your trial?" Kevin thought for a moment and then asked, "Did you give the Second God Key to someone else?"

"Yes, and...that girl is very strange."

"strange?"

"Well..." Her name is Bianca Atalgina... She has a very strong body, a tough spirit, a huge energy capacity, and extremely high Honkai energy adaptability..." Su said here Moving his gaze from Kevin to Long’s smiling face: “She has the power of Long—although not strong enough. "

Kevin pondered for a while and then said: "It's okay. The genetic babies of Long and Aili were brought to the new world by us. It is normal for a powerful offspring to appear after such a long time."

Su shook her head: "The most important thing is... when I was browsing her life and comparing it with the observation results of the world bubble in the Quantum Sea, I found that... the Bianca Ataljina who came to me was not Bianca Ataljina appears in all observed world bubbles..."

"Not the same...?" Kevin reacted and said with certainty: "Because of the addition of unstable factors... the world's path forward has been completely changed."

Su nodded: "Just like I didn't discover Long's existence in other worlds... some things have been completely changed in our world because of Long's factors."

"Huh -?" Kevin became interested and looked at Long. He thought Long should know the direct answer in this regard.

"Bianca Ataljina...well, I do know that not long ago, my [Affiliator Consciousness Network Center] was an existence similar to Kevin, the manager of the stigmata of the Kaslana family, It's just in the more mysterious [bloodline]." Long put down the cup and continued: "He guided the reckless girl in the quantum sea and initially learned to use the power in his body."

"She is indeed an exception... She is not only an [affiliator] loved by this strange power as defined by Mei, but also a special case with my bloodline who can pass the trial and become an [awakened one] in the future. "

"At the same time...she is not the Bianca Ataljina who was supposed to appear in the original world line." Long clicked in the air, and the images of Hollander and Kiana appeared respectively, suspended in the air.

Kevin and Su looked at the two pictures Long gave and realized the answer.

Long nodded: "Yes, according to the original world line, Bianca Atajina is essentially the descendant of Kevin and Mei's genetic baby, Kiana Kaslana."

"The Kiana Kaslana in the original world line is a clone made by the Bishop of Destiny based on the genes of the real Kiana and part of the soul of the second Herrscher Siren."

Su: "But our world, as it has developed so far... has been completely turned upside down."

Long deleted the picture and said: "Yes, the girl now named Bianca Atalkina is the destined bishop Otto Apokalis, who took advantage of Kiana Kaslana and her mother Se Genetically engineered humans created by combining the body tissues of Celia Shaniat and my daughter Siren the Second Herrscher during the previous Second Collapse."

"Just to create a stronger [Awakened One] than the Bishop of Destiny who passed the trial and became an [Awakened One], and who can further awaken the blood power of the Shaniyat family, which is the strange power I possess. 】" After the roar, he said: "Judging from Bianca's current performance... Otto has indeed done it, but she has not yet reached the time of trial."

Su sensed some information: "Long, you just said that the Bishop of Heaven is the [Awakened One]? Aren't the Awakened Ones only of your bloodline?"

"Yes, Su, the information you have obtained should not be complete. It is just some things that Bianca's thinking can tell you. Many people in Destiny do not know and will not care about these long histories - Otto Apokalis, an unyielding soul who has lived for more than 500 years, full of sins and great deeds, his mother is a member of the Shaniyat family... People of his generation, including his father and grandfather, tried to The [result] of the efforts to control and unify the three major families of Destiny.”

"And the ancestor of the Apokalis family was the one who obtained the so-called [Relics] from Suyou in Asia, which is the Void Ten Thousand Treasures."

Su: "Ah...I remembered, it turned out to be him."

"As for Kaslana and Shaniyat... no need to say more." Long looked at Su and Kevin: "The ancestors of the three major families of Destiny are now in this conference room."

Su smiled and said: "That's not true, I have no heirs."

Kevin also spoke out: "They don't need to bear the weight and pain brought by the name Kaslana... I am enough."

Long chuckled and said: "Kevin...your speech is really [Kaslana]."

Kevin: "..."

"When I knew that Shaniyat was my descendant...my reaction was completely different from yours, Kevin, but very similar." Long said with a snap of his fingers: "I felt that I had wronged them at the time, because My long-term slumber has prevented my descendants from awakening more powerful power to face the raging collapse over the years - and because of my bloodline, I suppressed the stigma genes they were born with in their bodies, preventing them from becoming [ Stigma Awakener].”

"Also because I haven't woken up, they can't go through the [Trial] to become awakened, and freely use the power in their bodies, their own talents... they can only rely on the [Strange Power] that I finally ordered before falling asleep. [Fight against Honkai] order - used to neutralize and destroy Honkai energy... This has resulted in many of their deaths in battles over the years... I feel very guilty about this, and I feel guilty that I cannot Fight with them and share their pain.”

"Even while [fighting against Honkai], the expression of the stigmata gene was suppressed, which caused the Shaniyat tribe to show extreme differentiation in physical abilities... so much so that Otto was in embarrassment at the beginning - uh... .I’m not sure about this, maybe Otto enjoyed it, otherwise he might not have been able to meet Karen Kaslana.”

"And Kevin...you want to bear that extremely heavy pain on your own - the heroes of Kaslana's past made the same choice as you...generation after generation, one after another. He stepped into the trap until he sacrificed his life... He even used the Zero Law of the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment without being able to awaken the super-mutable factor in your body, Kevin... and almost no bones were left."

Kevin's expression didn't change, but Long could feel his mood... He was a little sad, but also a little relieved...

But in the end, Kevin still wanted to carry it on his own.

No... He's not carrying it himself... He just wants others to stay away from pain, but he's just not very good at expressing this tenderness.

Kaslana, the meaning of this name is so obvious to all [Kaslana].

"Kevin...your descendants, my descendants...they're all doing great."

"They perfectly inherited the heroic meaning left over from the civilization of the previous era and perfectly elaborated it...leading this generation of mankind and moving forward as the benchmark of hope."

"It is true... because of the complexity of human society and the dark side of human nature... Tianming has also had many embarrassing things happen."

"But overall, our respective offspring are doing pretty well."

Kevin: "I get it, I'll continue to watch them... but I won't stop."

Kevin's words were what Long expected, and Long smiled and said: "Of course... I said that I will not stop the Stigma Project. Maybe Kevin, you have also thought about using the Stigma Project to promote the Tinder Project... .But I’m different.”

"Even...Kevin, I need you to go to World Serpent and cooperate with Mebius to carry out the No. 17 Stigma Project."

Su was surprised and said: "Version No. 17?"

Kevin's expression finally changed this time. His eyes dilated, showing the appearance of shock: "Mebius?"

Long nodded: "Yes... In fact, before the Final Battle, Mebius and I were alone once. This part of the memory was not stored in the Paradise of the Past, but was only stored in my portable [Memory] at that time. Inside the box."

"That time when we were alone, she drew a lot of my blood. One was to prepare for the final battle, and the other was to..." Long paused: "You and I all know that Mebius will cooperate in the end. Prometheus NO.17 hacked into Honkai's mechanism and catalyzed the birth of a new [consciousness]... There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it..."

Sue and Kevin nodded.

"And Mebius prepared a large amount of my blood in advance, and combined with her status as [Affiliator], she successfully allowed herself to retain her self and intelligence in the Honkai Consciousness, that is, the [Group], but she has been unable to wake up."

"It wasn't until I came into contact with the [Group] during the second Collapse that I completely rescued Mebius' consciousness." Long said with a smile: "Now Mebius is the leader of the World Snake. Lord."

Long joked: "Kevin, if you are working on the Stigma Project now, you can only be the executor, or the status of a tool~"

Kevin naturally knew that this was just a joke: "Of course, according to the concept of the World Snake, the Lord and Ying Jie themselves are just a sign to guide them forward. As for who the Lord is sitting on, they don't care - as long as it is Ying Jie. Just Jie."

"I'm not surprised, but what I didn't expect is... Since the goals are the same, why not just merge the World Snake... Instead, create another one..." Kevin paused: "New Life·Zhu" The fire moth...there is no need to chase the fire moth and let it disperse with the wind."

"Kevin, Kevin~ Do you think I'm the kind of person who misses the past and can't move forward?"
