"Hua, long time no see." Kevin looked at Fu Hua, who was standing in front of him.
Fu Hua looked at Kevin warily for a moment, then said, "Long time no see."
"Are you going to stand on her side?" Kevin looked at Elysia, then at Fu Hua, and asked.
"I can't let you hurt her."
"I understand." Kevin nodded, and the Judgment of Shamash in his hand transformed directly into the Judgement of Shamash form.
Just as he was about to swing his greatsword again, Durandal appeared beside Kevin, directly wielding Black Abyss White Flower and swinging it towards Kevin's waist.
Kevin merely glanced at Durandal, then directly grabbed Black Abyss White Flower with his hand.
"Good strength." Facing the black mist of Black Abyss White Flower, Kevin's body only emitted some cold air, and the black mist disappeared before it even touched him.
Fu Hua also attacked Kevin from the other side at this moment.
Regarding Fu Hua's attack, Kevin slightly shifted his body to dodge it.
"Hua, your speed has slowed."
Then, he swung Judgement of Shamash, directly sending Fu Hua flying.
"Hua was your teammate before, is it really okay for you to do this?" Elysia said, her fist appearing at Kevin's abdomen.
After sliding back a few steps, Kevin shook his head and said, "Is this your answer? But it's still too weak."
He tried to swing Judgement of Shamash, but encountered some resistance.
Chains wrapped around his arm.
"Oath of Judah?" Following the direction of the chains, Kevin looked at Theresa.
"Hey, ignoring me like this, I'm very annoyed!" Sirin's figure appeared above Kevin's head.
Her fist, wreathed in flames, smashed down towards Kevin's head.
After hitting Kevin's head, Sirin quickly retreated.
After retreating, Sirin looked at the ice on her hand, "How is this possible..."
"Your fire, the temperature isn't high enough." Kevin said, then approached Sirin, and then Sirin's body was covered in a thick layer of frost.
"Get away from her!" Mei's hand held a katana made of lightning, which she swung down at Kevin's arm.
"Good timing for the attack, but it's still not strong enough." Kevin looked at the katana striking his arm; the lightning on this katana, for the first time in a long while, made him feel something different.
The flames on Sirin's body also instantly intensified, burning away the frost, and then Sirin directly manipulated the Imaginary Spear, thrusting it towards Kevin.
Upon contact, Kevin quickly shifted his body to the side.
"Your power has the potential to harm me." Kevin said, already behind Sirin.
"But, it's still too immature." After speaking, Sirin's body flew directly out, smashing into Mei.
Mei was sent flying along with her.
"Damn it." Elysia had thought Kevin was strong, but at this moment, she hadn't expected Kevin, who had just emerged from the Sea of Quanta, to be so powerful.
"Your companions are good, but you are still too weak." Kevin looked around at everyone who was showing hostility towards him.
"With your current strength, you cannot overcome Honkai." After observing, Kevin shook his head.
"Kevin, whether we can overcome Honkai shouldn't be decided by you." Elysia stared at Kevin and said.
"I'm just giving you a better option." Kevin said, letting Judgement of Shamash hang by his side.
"Stigmata Project, we absolutely cannot accept it."
"Is that so? Then you yourselves tell me the answer." Kevin finished speaking, then swung Judgement of Shamash.
A wave of fire rapidly spread outwards.
Just as the fire wave was about to reach them, shields descended from the sky, directly erecting in front of them.
These shields gave Elysia and the others some time to breathe.
After the fire wave disappeared, the platform that had once held numerous instruments and Titan mechs was now just a pile of wreckage.
"Good reaction." Kevin looked up into the air.
"Oh, to receive the affirmation of the World Serpent's Honored Lord, it truly is an honor." Otto's figure appeared on a mech.
"However, these are all just petty tricks; against Honkai, these petty tricks are useless."
"Hahaha, whether these petty tricks are useful, one can only know through actual combat." Otto shook his head at Kevin's words.
While the two were conversing, Durandal had already rushed to Kevin's front.
Just dodging Black Abyss White Flower's attack, an arrow grazed Kevin's cheek as it flew past.
"Why resist?" Kevin directly grabbed Yudas Chains, then wrapped them around Sirin, who had teleported beside him.
"Because, if we don't resist, we will die." Elysia said, and another arrow shot towards Kevin.
Facing such a direct attack, Kevin could not possibly be hit; after dodging sideways, Kevin grabbed Fu Hua's fist beside him.
As soon as he grabbed Fu Hua's fist, Fu Hua directly abandoned the gauntlet on her hand, pulling her hand free from inside the gauntlet.
Fu Hua's hair also changed from its original grey to white, with some areas having light red highlights.
Kicking Kevin back, Fu Hua directly transformed into a fiery phoenix and flew towards Kevin.
After the fiery phoenix disappeared, Kevin held Judgement of Shamash, blocking Fu Hua's fist.
In the instant the two were in a standoff, Elysia's arrow flew in.
"The cooperation is not bad."
As he spoke, a scythe smashed down from above Kevin's head, and at the same time, a greatsword swept horizontally towards Kevin.
The temperature on Judgement of Shamash instantly rose significantly, and some Honkai Beast carapace-like substance appeared on Kevin's body.
The attacks of Durandal and Rita struck the carapace, producing only some sparks, indicating the intensity of their attacks.
Taking advantage of this moment, everyone else also used their full strength to attack Kevin.
With a sigh.
Everything around was frozen.
Only Elysia remained in place.
"These companions of yours are very good." Kevin looked at the ice sculptures around him and said to Elysia.
"Even if they're good, aren't we still unable to defeat you?" Elysia smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Have you given up resisting?" Kevin looked at Elysia, who was no longer attacking.
"Give up resisting? Kevin, tell me, why do we humans resist?" Elysia shook her head, then asked this question.
"Because if you don't resist, you will die." Kevin said calmly.
"Yes, because if we don't resist, we will die." As soon as Elysia finished speaking, Yudas Chains appeared in Elysia's hand.
"So, Kevin, just like you back then, you are still resisting Honkai to this day, and similarly, we are also resisting Honkai." As she spoke, golden spears shattered the surrounding ice.
The attacks that everyone else had already prepared all struck Kevin's hand that was holding Judgement of Shamash.
Because of these attacks, Kevin was forced to loosen his grip for a moment.
In that brief moment of release, Judgement of Shamash fell into Siegfried's hand.
Siegfried's current appearance was like a hybrid of a Honkai Beast and a human.
Earlier in the battle, he had already injected himself with the Super-Evolution Factor.
"Artificial Collapse?" Kevin looked at Siegfried, who was holding Judgement of Shamash and swinging it at him.
He directly reached out and grabbed the blade of Judgement of Shamash.
The high-temperature Judgement of Shamash was directly frozen from the spot where Kevin grabbed it.
"This trial, your answer, is not perfect, but you all survived."
After Kevin pushed back all the surrounding Valkyries, he looked at the Valkyries and Herrschers who were all staring at him.
After a battle, Kevin only had a few wounds on his body, and these wounds were healing at a visible speed.
On Elysia's side, however, everyone was covered in a thick layer of frost.
Furthermore, their armor was also damaged.
If they continued fighting, they absolutely could not win.
But Kevin stopped his attack at this moment and walked towards Elysia.
"Elysia, when your strength becomes greater, I will accept your challenge again."
Kevin looked at Elysia, who was being shielded by Fu Hua behind her.
Fu Hua had a deep wound on her body; this wound was caused by the carapace on Kevin's hand.
If Fu Hua hadn't stood in front of Elysia, she wouldn't have been injured.
"Gray Serpent, let's go."
After Kevin finished speaking, a robot holding a black umbrella walked out from a corner of the platform, "Yes, Honored Lord."
After Kevin left, Elysia looked around.
They had given their all, but they had only barely managed to break through the layer of carapace on Kevin's body.
After Kevin left, Fu Hua could no longer support herself and fell backward.
Elysia hurriedly supported Fu Hua, giving her full treatment.
(This was a trial, so hard to write! Kevin's strength is really difficult to estimate, even during his weakest period, I feel that Elysia and the others would have a hard time winning.)
