The warrior uniform that represented the identity of the Fire Moth members had now been completely destroyed by the power of Honkai energy. At the same time, Kevin's face did not show the Honkai Beast shell that would only appear when he activated the power of Pavanti. The black foreign object was intertwined with Kevin's body and replaced his clothes. The pitch-black wings growing from his back and the two long horns of the Honkai beast growing from his head made his already extremely abnormal appearance even more uncomfortable. “Chimera…!” Although Su knew that his best friend was not a gentle person, he never expected that Kevin would use this forbidden power right from the start. If Lin Yu still holds his trump card [The Core of the Ruler of Constraint] at this time, then even if Kevin changes into [Karma Demon] now, Su will feel that Lin Yu still has a greater chance of winning. However, Lin Yu, who had actively weakened himself before the battle, was undoubtedly temporarily unable to use the power of restraint at this time. Even though he knew that Lin Yu was not a fool who dug his own grave, Su still felt that Lin Yu had definitely messed up this time. After the tragedy of the restraint 50,000 years ago, Kevin's strength became even stronger than before after executing the Chimera Project and becoming the [Chimera of Humanity]. After communicating with Kevin during this period, Su made a rough judgment based on the research materials left by their companions.
If Kevin can open the 'back door' and take on the power of the end that they stole bit by bit, then in just a few days, Kevin's power will have the opportunity to surpass the Ruler of the End that they faced 50,000 years ago. Although Kevin didn't open the back now, Lin Yu... ——Now Lin Yu is a stigma awakener holding the key of God. He is going to fight the devil Kevin head-on! ! ! In fact, after Kevin activated the power of Chimera, things really went in the direction that Su had expected. Although Kevin became a [Chimera] after the tragedy of the restraint, the power he is most accustomed to using is still Pavani's power. So after activating his strongest power, Kevin immediately condensed countless ice walls and blocked Lin Yu in front of him. The strength of these ice walls is certainly very high, but in front of Lin Yu who is holding the Key of Judgment, he can easily cut them open even if he does not use the rated power of the Key of Judgment. But at this moment, a very terrible freezing phenomenon appeared on Lin Yu's body, who had cut the ice wall with his sword. After Pavanti's power is used by the demon Kevin, it will naturally be strengthened. The enhanced power of ice and snow froze Lin Yu's body from his right hand to his right shoulder. Before Lin Yu had time to react, countless ice spikes suddenly emerged from the air and attacked Lin Yu. In the next moment... ——Lin Yu, who didn't have time to leave the battlefield, was pierced directly through the body by the large number of ice spikes created by Kevin. ........

Looking at Lin Yu lying on the ground, everyone at the scene, except Gray Xiu who was stunned for a moment, had almost no emotional fluctuations. After all, because Gray Xiu has the appearance of a child, she doesn't quite understand Lin Yu's strength. After all, Lin Yu was a little gentle when he pulled out the Herrscher of Corrosion in her body, and the aura that Lin Yu burst out due to his violent outburst during the personality fusion caused Grayshu to faint in the first place. She probably didn't know how Lin Yu beat Kevin from Le Tu. So for Grayshu, Lin Yu was probably just a very strong person, but she didn't know exactly how strong he was. And Kevin, whom she regarded as ridiculously strong, easily defeated the very strong Lin Yu, and it didn't seem like there was any big problem...right? As for the other people at the scene, except Hua and Su, the remaining victims were all beaten up by Lin Yu yesterday. They knew how cruel this man was. Even if the core of the Ruler of Constraint was removed, they didn't think that someone who was meticulous and would target and lure people in advance would rush up like a fool and be killed instantly by Kevin. As for Su, who was confused now, and Fu Hua, who was not too worried, it was even more impossible for them to think that Lin Yu would pounce in a second. Apart from anything else, he didn't even take out the blank key. He went in without even putting on his equipment - this was obviously not Lin Yu's style. He will never hesitate when it is time to take action, but he will never act rashly when facing a strong enemy. Rather than worrying about the current condition of Lin Yu who was lying on the ground, Fu Hua was actually more curious about what kind of skills and strength Lin Yu had honed in a place that no one could see, which was enough for him to give up his core and still have the confidence to defeat a strong enemy of Kevin's level. As for Kevin, who had just "killed" Lin Yu, he had already discovered the abnormality one step ahead of others. After he activated the power of Chimera, he could naturally use the power of the Honkai beasts contained in the power of Chimera. Because of this, Kevin, whose mental strength was also enhanced, immediately realized that something was wrong after he pierced Lin Yu's body directly with the ice spike. It's not that he felt there was a problem with the 'feel'. In fact, based on the feel he felt with his mental power, Kevin could be sure that what he pierced was indeed "flesh". But there is something very unusual about this 'body'. That is - the Honkai energy in Lin Yu's body is really pitifully small. From the confrontation with Lin Yu just now, Kevin discovered that Lin Yu had more than one kind of energy, and the energy intensity of these special energies was extremely high. But in the final analysis, Lin Yu's essence is still a Honkai warrior who has awakened the stigma. He may have mastered other special powers, but he doesn't have much Houkai energy in his body... ——This kind of thing is a big problem no matter how you look at it, right? After realizing this, Kevin naturally determined that Lin Yu must have a backup plan. Rather, Lin Yu's previous reckless behavior, in addition to being of some use on the tactical level, may also be a hint to Kevin - he has mastered a power different from the Honkai energy system, so he has a way to open up the future from a new path. However, these were just guesses that popped up in Kevin's mind at that moment. No matter what he thinks now, he has to face the reality.
That is...... ——Lin Yu’s offensive had already begun the moment Lin Yu disappeared. Lin Yu, who had already fallen to the ground, suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling light at this moment. Others might just think, "Ah, Lin Yu really has a backup plan," but for Kevin, this scarlet magic light obviously reminded him of an experience he would never forget. In the battle a few months ago, Kevin was hit by the move that Lin Yu called "Phantom Sword God" and almost drowned in the environment created by Lin Yu. Looking back now, if Kevin had not managed to break free from the illusion created by the Phantom Sword God, perhaps he should have realized at that time that Lin Yu possessed more than one kind of powerful energy. At this moment, facing the burst of scarlet light, the expression on Kevin's face also changed slightly. He could be sure that Lin Yu's Herrscher of Constraint core was still in Alicia's hands, and the power Lin Yu was using now was undoubtedly not the power of the [Honkai Energy] related system. But at the same time, he also felt that his own strength was being constantly weakened as if he was within a restraining barrier. Although Kevin, the Karma Demon, who has now recovered to his peak state, is certainly stronger than Kevin, the Pavanti, who had just come out of the Quantum Sea Energy a few months ago and whose energy intensity is not too high, this does not mean that his resistance to this power has increased. Kevin has indeed become stronger, but Lin Yu hasn't been eating dry meals for three months. During these three months, Lin Yu has been exercising his various abilities. The illusion barrier, which would disappear if used excessively, was actually a power that he practiced frequently. After he was lucky enough not to die on the spot last time, Lin Yu could more or less grasp where the "boundary" of the slide barrier was. Lin Yu had become much stronger, so the price he had to pay was actually much less. The [Void Magic Stone] he got was indeed a fragment divided into seven parts, not a complete Void Magic Stone. But in the final analysis, although the Slide Lantern barrier was weakened due to the incompleteness of the Void Magic Stone, the essence of the ability of this barrier has not changed. In other words - as long as the incomplete strength can be made up, the Slide Lantern Barrier will still be a powerful barrier that is "capable of creating a different space where time stops" and "makes people in a large area fall into an illusion." In the original work, the Slide Lantern Barrier was in the hands of Liselotte Willumesta, one of the strongest beings at the time [Witch of Lust], and could interfere with space, separate it from the real world, and completely isolate it from the real world. In this variable barrier that can erode the real world and merge with it, the flow rate of time actually changes slightly compared to the outside world. At that time, the Onmyoji Kusanagi So was trapped in the barrier of a different space. From the time he entered the barrier to his death in the final battle, the time flowed by was about three months from the time he entered the barrier in 1945. But in the outside world, the time from when the witch was suppressed to when the incident happened again was 1945 years, from 2009 to 64. In addition, the barrier was still interrupted at that time. If it weren't for the punitive forces' desperate battle, the barrier could eventually cover the entire world through long-term casting. As for how Lin Yu completed the incomplete slide barrier into the complete version, the answer is also very simple. Ever since he had completely awakened the swaying Libra through the fusion of personalities, he no longer had to worry about not having enough dimensional power. Under the effect of energy conversion, Lin Yu converted a large amount of dimensional force into magic power in advance, and then used hard study to constantly deduce the essence of the slide barrier, and used precise operations to quickly complete the casting of this barrier, so he was able to complete the casting of this powerful barrier in a short time. As for the 'Lin Yu' who is now lying on the ground, it certainly cannot be the real person. Lin Yu and Su have known each other for such a long time, and they have also exchanged some ideas on how to use their abilities.
Let’s not talk about what Su learned from Lin Yu. In the past two months, Lin Yu has already mastered Su’s energy clone. The clone created with the slide barrier as the base will of course be more likely to cause illusions to other people than the ordinary clone. This is also the reason why everyone except the original Kevin feels that something is wrong, but can't figure out what's wrong with this clone. Within this barrier, Kevin's power was constantly weakening, and he also felt a huge change in the speed of time. This warrior, who was already extremely fast, suddenly realized that the speed at which he swung his sword... How can it be so slow!!! With his original strength, Kevin could use the Jiemie Greatsword to make an extremely terrifying slash in an instant. But now, Kevin really felt that his attack speed had become too slow. The strength was suppressed, but this was definitely not the main reason why my sword swinging speed slowed down. ......I see. My thinking time is slowing down, but as my thinking time is slowing down, my perception of the outside world is also slowing down, so I can feel that the speed of my sword swinging is also slowing down. It seems that Lin Yu had indeed understood the true meaning of this battle before it. Although this battle was a clash of beliefs, it was also a battle in which Lin Yu showed Kevin his "future". Just defeating Kevin is not enough to prove that Lin Yu has enough power to solve the problem. In order to convince Kevin to give up the Stigmata Plan, we must have a plan that even Kevin finds reasonable. Kevin didn't know what Lin Yu's specific plan was, but even Kevin himself, whose sword-swinging speed had slowed down, didn't know that the corners of his mouth actually rose slightly. The World Serpent does have a way to delay the arrival of the end for a period of time, but it is hard to say how long this method can delay it. Originally, this method could delay the situation for several years, but the collapse has now accelerated to such an extent that these few years have to be discounted, and many plans must change details. But now, Lin Yu just used other energy to create a special barrier in a hurry, which actually delayed the passage of time. Doesn't this mean... ——As long as the person behind it becomes him, will even the end be affected by it? Kevin knew the plan was crazy, and he wasn't the type to throw the responsibility onto other people. But now, although Kevin, who had been wrapped in the barrier, was still on guard around him, he could not help but start thinking about the feasibility of this plan. If [Karma Demon] Kevin opens the back door, steals and carries the power of the End bit by bit, he may eventually surpass the Ruler of the End that they faced fifty thousand years ago. However, from the moment he opened the back door, the Cocoon of the End would inevitably realize that its power was being stolen. In other words, as long as Kevin or Su opens the back door, the end will be a foregone conclusion in a short time. This is one of the reasons why Kevin is able to steal and bear part of the power of the end without immediately opening the backdoor. This was a plan that had to be used as a last resort, and after Kevin realized that Lin Yu was a possibility, he would certainly not be so decisive in launching this plan. And now, Kevin has not forgotten that this is just the beginning of this battle. From the time Lin Yu used this "fake body" to slash out with the sword to now, less than twenty seconds have passed.
In just less than twenty seconds, such a miracle was performed... ——Lin Yu, you really didn’t let me down. But if that’s all, it’s not enough! If there is no new plan that is superior enough to the Stigmata Project, I will not change my mind even with this special barrier. So now, your subsequent moves - should be enough to show more possibilities, right? Kevin took a look at the situation outside the barrier and found that most of the people outside the barrier were still in a state of "Hey, what happened?"
