Chapter 127: The Void Archives

Staring at a World Serpent officer who leaped and prostrated himself in front of him, Kevin fell into contemplation.

There wasn't any particular reason; it was mainly the appearance of this officer that made him involuntarily think of the person he encountered in the Quantum Sea, the one who tried to seize the Desire Gem.

It's so alike.

Not to say very similar; it could only be described as identical.

Not only in appearance but according to the information recorded in the World Serpent database, White Dove had a stigma and could wield the authority of a Herrscher through it.

And the power he wielded happened to be [Void].

"Hello, Lord Kevin~" Kiana, after being stunned for a moment, also reacted and showed a somewhat stiff but polite smile. She hurriedly greeted Kevin and even gave a slight bow.

"..." Kevin glanced at this girl from the Kaslana family, nodded slightly, and didn't say much. He then turned to Chase and asked, "Who are you?"

"Lord, I am your loyal subordinate, White Dove!" Chase replied immediately. Despite knowing that Kevin implied something, he pretended to be confused, trying to evade the issue.

The Judgment of Shamash rested against his neck, faintly breaking Chase's skin, and blood dripped from the wound.

Watching this tense scene, Kiana, holding her twin guns, couldn't help but tighten her grip. She looked at Chase, as if waiting for his command. If he gave the order, the bullets from the twin guns would unhesitatingly shoot the man called Lord Kevin before her.

Chase met Kiana's gaze, shook his head slightly, silently refusing. Then he looked at Kevin and asked with an awe-stricken and terrified tone, "Lord, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"Why did you oppose me in the Quantum Sea?" Kevin's gaze was sharp, and the coldness emanating from him gave a bone-chilling feeling. The pressure from the strongest mantis warrior of the prehistoric civilization was unleashed without restraint at this moment. Although it wasn't Chase's first time facing it, the immense pressure was still hard to bear.

Chase's face showed a timely expression of confusion, "Lord, you know about me. I have been confined by the Schicksal for a while. Forget the Quantum Sea; I haven't even gone out of the experimental base gate during this time."

Kevin: "..."

After a moment of silence, Kevin didn't dwell on this matter. He inserted the Judgment of Shamash into the yellow sand, calmly speaking:

"Friend or foe, choose."

Intense heat emanated from the Judgment sword, even melting the surrounding yellow sand into glass. Yet, the aura exuded by its owner was so cold and piercing, forming a sharp contrast.

Chase smiled faintly, and the answer was already clear in his heart.

...

Not long after Chase surrendered, the battle between Durandal and Kevin began, just as he expected.

One was the strongest Valkyrie of Anti-Entropy, and the other was the strongest mantis warrior of the prehistoric civilization. The two powerhouses fought from the desert to the surface of the sea, and the outcome was yet to be determined.

On the frozen sea, the battle between the two became exceptionally intense, with combat techniques ranging from close combat to long-range attacks. However, in terms of raw strength, Kevin had the upper hand; after all, he hadn't even brought out the Judgment of Shamash.

Durandal marveled at the formidable strength of the World Serpent's leader, while Kevin affirmed Durandal's strength.

Durandal's strength was excellent, standing in a league of her own in this world. The standards for ordinary S-rank Valkyries could no longer restrict her. If it weren't for the fact that the highest rating from Anti-Entropy was only S-rank, Durandal might have been rated as a Herrscher.

Considering her various adventures, it could be said that Durandal was the protagonist of the current civilization, and she was the kind of protagonist who had overpowered abilities.

However, this time, it seemed she had encountered trouble because Kevin's cheat items were more expensive than hers, and the battle inevitably fell into a disadvantage for her. If the battle continued for some time, Durandal's defeat was inevitable.

After all, she was still a human, and she hadn't acquired the Krishna that could be created at will.

"How about it, Kiana? Lord Kevin is amazing, right?" Chase and Kiana stood by the coast, watching this extraordinary battle from a distance. They couldn't help but take a cold breath, and Chase, with his actions, cheered for Durandal.

Absorbing a bit of cold air would reduce the cold emitted by Kevin, and Durandal, aren't you going to thank me, Brother Chase?

"Um, yes," Kiana nodded somewhat awkwardly, her face full of disbelief. "Is this really the realm humans can reach?"

The girl's gaze moved away from Kevin and looked at the fiercely intense Durandal who was battling with Kevin. She sighed in her heart.

Both of them are really strong; I can't win, I can't win.

"No doubt, humans have their limits, and these two have already surpassed those limits. Kevin, the old ancestor, is a mantis warrior with the genes of Parvati, while Durandal has a whole world nurtured inside her body" Chase explained silently on the side. Suddenly feeling uneasy standing, he summoned two imaginary cubes to serve as stools and continued his explanation.

"Let's not talk about Durandal for now. Just Kevin alone is quite extraordinary," Chase smiled, "The Herrscher of the Void with six cores is amazing. He fought a substitute battle with Sirin, using the Judgement of Shamash without holding back, and he literally wiped Sirin out of the floor."

Queen of the Void: "..."

Sirin: "..."

No, is it really polite to say that in front of the true master?

In the Stigmata, Sirin stomped her foot, and the Queen of the Void also wanted to erupt. However, noticing Fu Hua staring at her from the side, she cleared her throat a couple of times, pretending to maintain an air of elegance befitting a queen. She noted this down and would settle the score next time.

Kiana nodded, recalling her past aspiration of becoming the strongest Valkyrie. Her cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly. For now, she shouldn't think too much about Durandal's strength.

Suddenly, she noticed a golden figure gradually approaching the battlefield. The figure walked on the already frozen sea, neither fast nor slow.

"Otto?! How did he come here?" Kiana exclaimed.

"It seems he couldn't sit still either," Chase nodded inwardly.

Indeed, not long after Otto intervened in the battle, the grand confrontation came to a halt.

Chase stood up, patted the nonexistent dust off his butt, and left dejectedly.

When he returned to the base, Chase saw Kevin, who had already completed the transaction with Otto. Just as he was about to say something, Kevin threw a golden object at him.

Instinctively catching it, Chase froze after identifying the object.

The Void Archives?

"I'll lend it to you for a while. You seem to lack a handy weapon," Kevin said.

"???" Perplexed, Chase silently hid the Xuanyuan Sword...

Not too shabby.
