Chapter 109: Peace and Promise

Chapter 109: Peace and Promise

With the defeat of the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Kukulkan, the scenery of this dreamlike Homu Paradise also disappeared at the same time.

Everything around gradually returned to pure white. Perhaps, this was the original scenery of this world, empty.

It seems that Su has also completed the modification and reset of the world bubble at full speed.

Well, that means Seele and Sirin can now leave this world.

However, for some reason, she had completed her work but had not appeared in Kirataka and the others' sight.

"...Is it dead?"

The purple-haired girl stood in the air, looking suspiciously at the giant snake on the ground that was unable to move because of Kirataka's fatal blow.

If it wasn't in a bad condition now, she would have wanted to finish it off with a hail of bullets to make sure it was dead as dead as can be.

"Dead."

Kirataka nodded.

However, at this moment, another giant Honkai beast suddenly broke into this space again.

Unlike the giant black snake they defeated before, it was pure white and looked more like a human.

But its momentum and pressure were in no way inferior to the Honkai beast they had just defeated.

"...Also, there's another one?!"

The other nervously picked up the sickle.

One is not scary, and two can be dealt with, but if there are more than a dozen or even dozens of creatures of this level, for Seele's safety, it is better to run away quickly.

Sirin also summoned the Archon Spear again, ready to attack again at any time.

"The battle is over... you did a good job."

Kevin's voice rang in the minds of the three of them at the same time.

Of course, he would not judge Sirin's identity based on just one battle. After all, she might be simply disguising herself. He had encountered similar things in the past.

The Sixth Herrscher who hypocritically begged for mercy from him... made him soft-hearted for a moment, leading to the death of the residents of an entire city.

So, he needs more powerful evidence.

——While [Kukulkan] and Kirataka were fighting, he took the time to look at the data existing in this world bubble.

Although a certain gray-haired woman was doing her best to overwrite everything in this world, Kevin was still able to get a glimpse of the past of the Second Herrscher before the information was erased.

He therefore completely confirmed that she was not an apostle of Honkai, but a person with her own will.

"You... what on earth are you?"

Sirin asked uncertainly.

First it was a giant black snake, and now it was this huge monster. What kind of person is this guy they are facing?

"...You can call it [Tlaloc]."

Kevin explained calmly.

Like Kukulkan, it is a part of his own Chimera, one of the many incarnations of Judgment-Class Honkai beast and also a different species of Honkai beast that is specialized in combat capabilities in the Quantum Sea.

Because Kukulkan had been defeated, he chose to summon this incarnation and came before the three of them again.

"I still have something to tell you, so I came here again."

After a pause, Kevin continued:

"You... have great potential. The World Serpent needs talents like you."

It started, he started recruiting them.

Kirataka's mouth twitched slightly.

Once the initial misunderstanding was resolved, Kevin's first thought was to recruit this group of useful people into his own camp.

In particular, the Herrscher Sirin is even more important to him.

"Ha?"

the other Seele was slightly stunned.

Who would join the side of someone who had just attacked them?

Therefore, she decisively chose to refuse:

"I don't want to!"

"...Me too!"

Sirin naturally expressed the same view.

Kirataka didn't say anything and remained silent.

"...In any case, as long as you still stand on the side against Honkai, we are allies in another sense."

Although he was rejected, Kevin didn't force anything.

Tlaloc's huge body was gradually fading away. His purpose of invading this world bubble had disappeared, so naturally, it was time for him to leave here completely.

But before he disappeared completely, he still had something to communicate with Kirataka alone.

"...You came to the Quantum Sea to take that girl away, right?"

Kevin's voice only rang in his mind.

"Well, I will take Seele out of the Quantum Sea and back to the Real world."

Kirataka answered truthfully.

"…"

This means that Kirataka has the ability to travel back and forth between the two sides and can also carry others.

Whatever means he used to achieve this goal, it meant a lot to Kevin.

He has been silent here for too long, and there is not much time left before the end.

He was silent for a while before continuing:

"It's not time for me to go back yet, but if that day comes, I hope to make a deal with you."

Just as Kirataka had expected, Kevin would not leave the Quantum Sea until Su in the real world completed his mission and ended the observation of the [VALUKA Project].

But no matter what, he was determined to return to his original world.

So after knowing that he can travel back and forth between the Quantum Sea and the intrinsic world, he will definitely propose a deal in exchange for returning to the real future.

"You want to use my means to return to reality?"

Kirataka asked knowingly.

Just now when he was fighting with Kukulkan, he had already demonstrated the ability to project Judas, so Kevin might have more or less guessed how he came to the Quantum Sea.

"…yes."

Kevin admitted his part of the deal.

"I can take you out of this Quantum Sea when you need me, so... what reward are you willing to pay for it?"

Kirataka asked straight to the point.

Using Cosmic Juggernaut to reach some kind of deal with Kevin was originally an option, and now that he had brought it up himself, he certainly had no reason to disagree.

There are not many opportunities to conduct equal transactions with the Lord of the [World Serpent], and now is a good opportunity.

"As long as you can take me away from the Quantum Sea, it can provide you with any support it can in the future without hindering the World Serpent's plan."

Kevin promised.

The assistance of the World Serpent...

This is indeed quite tempting, after all, this organization possesses quite powerful capabilities in all aspects.

Moreover, in the event that he is likely to go to war with Otto in the future, it will be necessary to seek assistance from a third party.

Although Anti-Entropy has nominally been waging a protracted battle against Schicksal, in reality, there is still a considerable gap between it and Schicksal.

But if it's the World Serpent...

To be honest, this promise alone is worth it for Kirataka.

But the opportunity was rare, and he really wanted to get some benefits from Kevin, this "honest man."

So Kirataka said shamelessly:

"That's too far-fetched. I find it hard to believe. Right now, I need some [deposit] to make me trust you completely."

"…"

Advance payment...

This request was not excessive, but as he was in the Quantum Sea, he actually had no chips to trade.

All he has now is absolutely powerful strength, but this is not something that can be traded.

Even the Seventh Divine Key, the Judgment of Shamash, which he had always held in the past, was no longer in his hands at this moment.

However, after thinking about it, he thought of something.

It is useless to him, but it may be quite useful to Kirataka at present.

So Kevin said:

"As an advance payment... I can give you control of [it]."

A familiar little figure emerged in Kirataka's mind.

——That was the ultimate weapon guarding the true Second Divine Key, the Cosmic Juggernaut, which he had encountered on the banks of the Thames.

An armed doll based on Kevin himself.
