Chapter 54: Target: Cosmic Juggernaut
This historic city is still bustling with people at this moment, and there are many people walking on the streets.
Kirataka changed into a light outfit and walked on the path in the square.
He applied to Theresa for a trip to the UK on the pretext of a vacation, so he did not come on the battleship of Schicksal, but instead took a plane from the Far East to the UK like an ordinary person.
Walking along the path in the square, he soon arrived at the bank of the Thames.
Kirataka came here with only one simple purpose—
That is to find the key props that can help him enter the Quantum Sea.
Although he had originally considered looking for a way to enter the Quantum Sea from within Schicksal, after the Joyce incident in the virtual world, he had to give up this plan.
If he wants to find a way to use the equipment that Durandal and Rita used when they entered the Quantum Sea, they will have to contact Otto, but for now, it is better to find another way and keep a distance from the petty Bishop of Schicksal.
If Kirataka does not rely on the equipment of Schicksal or the [Eye of the Abyss] possessed by Anti-Entropy, he can only rely on the last possibility to enter the Quantum Sea.
——That is the Second Divine Key that has not yet been found and recovered by Schicksal at this point in time.
The Key of Infinity: Cosmic Juggernaut.
As the divine key that reproduces the power of the Second Herrscher, it can open the passage to the Imaginary tree and also the door to the Quantum sea.
It is now 2014, and at this point in time, the Key of Infinity is still lying on the Thames in London, England.
In other words, it has been lying quietly on the Thames for two thousand years and has not changed its position.
However, with the help of the concealment technology of the previous civilization, in the absence of any intelligence, no one would have thought that a divine key would be placed so blatantly above a busy city.
There is still more than half a year before Otto sends his two capable men, Durandal and Rita, to investigate and search for the Cosmic Juggernaut. Kirataka still has plenty of time to search in advance.
Before, he had not considered looking for and relying on the power of the Divine Key because he alone was not able to control such a large locomotive.
This thing is different from other divine keys. It might be a stretch to call it a "weapon." The overall shape is like the head of a train.
It is so huge that it is almost impossible for an individual to hide it.
Moreover, even if he could really find a way to get the Cosmic Juggernaut, he would not be able to keep it afterward. In Otto's plan, the Cosmic Juggernaut was a must on the road to resurrecting Kallen. If the Cosmic Juggernaut was taken away before him, the conflict between him and that man would definitely come sooner.
——But it's different now.
Kirataka, who has already learned [Projection Magic], does not really need to obtain the Cosmic Juggernaut now.
He just needs to touch the Key of infinity before Otto and the others. After that, he can rely on [Projection Magic] to create a fake of the Cosmic Juggernaut and open the passage to the Quantum Sea.
In this way, he can avoid conflicts with Otto in advance and successfully complete what he promised to Bronya and go to the Quantum Sea to find Seele.
Of course, he wanted to find the Cosmic Juggernaut not just because of Bronya and Seele, but also for a more important, even urgent reason:
Prepare a backup plan for himself and ensure a way out.
After Otto tried to kill him once, Kirataka had been thinking about how to ensure that he could survive the conflict with the Bishop of Schicksal that was very likely to occur in the future.
Relying solely on the ability to go back in time is not completely safe; he must find a safer place.
With the power and ability of the Bishop of Schicksal, it is not impossible for him to create a deadly situation that can kill him completely.
It can be said that on Earth today, except for a few, no one can escape the hunt of this true "King of Mankind." After all, strong men like Durandal and Fu Hua are still allies in his plan.
The only place he could think of now that could ensure he could avoid Otto's pursuit was probably the Quantum Sea outside the Earth.
That nearly boundless "ocean" is indeed filled with all kinds of unknown dangers, but at the same time, it can also be regarded as an excellent refuge.
Kirataka wants to obtain the projection of the Cosmic Juggernaut first, so as to ensure that he can disappear from the Earth in times of emergency and transfer to the Quantum Sea for refuge.
As long as one can master the Cosmic Juggernaut, there is no need to worry about being lost in the sea like Kevin and unable to find the way back. One can return to the original world at any time.
In short, as long as he gets the projection of the Cosmic Juggernaut, he can try to find Seele and guarantee a way out for himself, which is killing two birds with one stone.
Standing by the scenic river, Kirataka began his search for the Cosmic Juggernaut.
Projection magic, activated.
A golden chain then appeared in his hand, a small part of the oath of Judah.
He now doesn't need to project the entire cross; he just needs to find his target in a covert way.
As the divine key of [Binding], Oath of Judah has the ability to search and locate Honkai energy over a large area and is quite sensitive to Honkai energy.
With extremely enhanced hunting capabilities, it can accurately search for targets within a maximum range of 200 kilometers.
Now Kirataka just wanted to find the approximate location of the Cosmic Juggernaut at a close distance, which was naturally not that difficult.
Sure enough, the golden chain projected by Kirataka began to react. The chain body made of Soulium began to tremble, and the arrow also floated on its own, pointing in a certain direction.
Although he might be affected by other nearby objects and life forms with Honkai energy, he has enough time and patience to try slowly.
Of course, even if the specific position of the Cosmic Juggernaut is located, there is still one problem that must be faced.
——That is the Cosmic Juggernaut at this moment is still the Divine Key guarded by the World Serpent, not some ownerless thing.
As the divine key that can open the passage to the Quantum Sea, Kirataka has reason to believe that the World Serpent attaches great importance to it.
If Otto had not snatched away the Second Divine Key Key later, he believed that the World Serpent guys would definitely activate the Cosmic Juggernaut to try to bring back their lord, Kevin Kaslana, from the Quantum Sea. After all, he was originally sealed in the Quantum Sea by the Cosmic Juggernaut.
As for why no attempt has been made until now... that is naturally because at this moment the master of the Cosmic Juggernaut, Su, a pioneer of the previous civilization who sealed Kevin into the Quantum Sea with his own hands, has not passed away, and this Divine Key still has an owner.
In short, the World Serpent must be keeping a very strict watch on the Cosmic Juggernaut. Maybe there are a lot of spies lurking nearby and watching it at this moment.
If you want to remove the external defenses and then touch it, you will inevitably be obstructed by the World Serpent.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the Second Divine Key itself was guarded by an armed puppet that resembled Kevin.
It is said that the puppet has nearly one percent of the original's strength.
It can be said that it is indeed not an easy task to get close to the Cosmic Juggernaut.
But this is indeed the best goal he can attempt right now, so he still plans to give it a try.
Kirataka was thinking about the plan while walking forward following the golden chain.
Soon, the golden chain pointed at a figure and stopped moving.
Well, this is what is called a wrong target. After all, he does not have the detailed data of the Cosmic Juggernaut, so he can only rely on Judah to eliminate them one by one.
Kirataka looked up and was slightly surprised.
It was a familiar face, a blonde girl.
——The S-class Valkyrie of Schicksal, Durandal!
