At a time like this, she really shouldn't have brought up something so sensitive...
Fortunately, Shi Bao didn't press the matter further.
She shrugged to show her magnanimity.
"You guys too, huh? There's no need to look so unconfident just because you might be facing Kevin, is there?"
"I can go toe-to-toe with Kevin by myself, so what are you afraid of with all of you together?"
"Fifty-fifty?" Mei seemed surprised, but more than that, she didn't believe it.
Perhaps realizing he might have been exaggerating, Shi Bao said somewhat awkwardly, "...Although he didn't use his full strength, I still left a backup plan."
"Cough cough..."
"In short—if a major battle is truly imminent, then you should be even less likely to boost the morale of your enemies while diminishing your own."
"This is outrageous!"
……
PS: Ah... this part of the story is finally coming to an end. And the internet at home is finally back up and running.
Chapter 536 Good, good, good, the fight has finally started.
Although Shi Bao kept saying that she and Kevin were evenly matched, she was actually quite self-aware.
The reason for saying that was probably to boost the morale of the people present.
Players could guess this, but when they thought about Shi Bao's personality and the tone of her voice... players couldn't help but laugh.
And there was also the serious-looking guy, Dai'e, at the scene...
"...Those who understand the laws of nature, precisely because we are not Kevin the 'fear,' can realistically discuss the differences between us."
"Tsk... So serious. Think about it carefully—aren't they all the same thing—timid and hesitant? What's the difference?" At this point, Shi Bao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and grinned mischievously.
"Ha... In that case, I do have a solution..."
"Wouldn't it solve the problem once and for all if we just removed the source of the fear?"
"Don't worry, this process is very easy. I just need to sneak up behind him silently..."
I don't know if Shi Bao is genuinely naive or just joking.
But the silly goose took it seriously and reminded him with a solemn expression: "Those who understand the laws, precisely because you have actually fought that man, you should understand even more clearly—this kind of presumptuous battle is simply impossible to succeed."
"Tsk..." Shi Bao rolled her eyes. "I already told you, why are you being so serious?"
"Am I not vividly teaching you that as soldiers, we must be fearless and overcome basic fears—"
At this point, Shi Bao's expression suddenly changed.
The cheerful background music in the game suddenly stopped and was replaced by solemn and serious drumbeats.
“Fear…” Shi Bao murmured softly.
Perhaps she was just joking when she suddenly couldn't think of the right words to say it.
But then something happened on the other side that she really didn't expect.
Her movements suddenly froze, as if she had witnessed something unbelievable, and her eyes widened.
"Damn it...he really knows how to cause trouble."
Li Sushang hadn't yet noticed the change in Shi Bao, and muttered to herself, "Who's causing trouble now...?"
Shi Bao remained silent, which was unusual for him.
Just like when she first appeared, a white light suddenly emanated from her body, and her figure became increasingly faint in the white light.
Seeing this, Bronya couldn't help but ask curiously, "Herrscher of Knowledge, what are you going to do?"
"Let's go, let's go!" Shi Bao didn't answer Ya Ya's question, but just waved to the crowd with his back turned, saying, "I'm very busy, I don't have time to give you all psychological counseling."
Kiana: "But where are you planning to go?"
Shi Bao: "Don't ask—"
"Anyway, you guys can't keep up."
After saying that, her figure disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
"..."
None of them understood what had suddenly happened.
"This Herald of Knowledge's personality is really..." Li Sushang opened her mouth, but in the end, she could only use the word "unique" to describe Herald of Knowledge's personality.
However, the silly goose and the others noticed something amiss.
"Could she be saying..."
Just as the group was pondering this, an incredibly powerful force, like a hurricane, burst forth from between the lunar facilities without any concealment, silently proclaiming its invincibility to the [invaders] before them.
This power was not unfamiliar to the group of friends, including Slump, Mei, and Bronya.
“Kevin… he’s deep inside this passage, and—”
"—And the class monitor!"
They immediately understood.
The sudden departure of the Herrscher of Knowledge must be to support the class monitor.
This sudden plot twist has excited the players.
[Fu Hua and Kevin are already fighting?!]
[6666, is the final battle about to begin?!]
[Note the time; this part of the story should be coming to an end. The most exciting part will probably have to wait until next month's update...]
[And don't forget, Rita, Tesla, and the others haven't appeared yet; they can't possibly be absent from the final chapter!]
[And as Otto the scoundrel said, the Thirteen Heroes still have to show their faces.]
Everything else is fine, as long as no one dies QAQ
……
It can only be said that, given Honkai Impact 3's consistent approach, players are genuinely worried about what might happen to the Valkyries.
After all, the storyline of this game is vastly different from those on the market.
Regardless of whether they are part of the main cast or how popular a character is, they will still be killed if they are meant to be.
Not to mention the players, even the girls in the studio are a little worried.
In the game, the scene shifts to Kevin's location.
To be precise, it was Kevin and Fu Hua.
The two are the only remaining humans in the world who have spanned two eras, possessing the longest lifespans and the most distant memories.
Of course, this is because players generally believe that Gretchen has already sacrificed herself...
now.
The power that could have wiped the world away like dust was now lying at his feet, yielding and submitting.
"So you knew I was here, Hua."
After a long silence, Kevin finally broke it.
"Su told me this unintentionally. It was... more than two thousand years ago."
"As we each fulfilled our mission as pioneers... you happened to miss one of those meetings."
“Su told me… every year on this day, no matter how important other things are, no matter what burden using the Second Divine Key would place on your body in an emergency… you would come to this place on the moon alone.”
"You will spend an entire day here gazing at the ruins of the end."
……
Kevin's actions have raised many questions.
What kind of agreement could make Kevin put aside everything important and remember it for a full 5 years?
Unfortunately, their subsequent conversation consisted almost entirely of casual chatter, without revealing this point.
Throughout the conversation, players could see that the two still shared a deep bond of camaraderie.
Kevin, who is usually so cold to everyone that he doesn't seem to treat his own kind, now regards Fu Hua as his closest person.
After all, the two of them are the only humans who survived from the last century.
Perhaps, only Huaneng was considered "one of their own" by Kevin.
Even after 5 years, Kevin still lives in the past, living for the past.
Hua has already integrated into the new generation.
Kevin was very clear about this.
He did not become a savior, nor will he ever become one.
