Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 203 People and Herrschers

Chapter 203 Humans and Lawyers

If it weren't for Sora's obstruction and the fact that Welt genuinely seemed to be human rather than a Honkai Apostle, Kevin, with his vocal organs that hadn't been used for 1500 years, would probably have been too lazy to speak and listen, and would have attacked Welt at the slightest disagreement, obtaining the Honkai energy from the Herrscher Core to help him return to reality—however, in Welt's memory, Kevin used the Gem of Desire rather than the Herrscher of Reason Core.

Qiong's eyes twitched uncontrollably. After Kevin gave up on solving the problem with force, he thought he could easily and quickly pass through the Quantum Sea...

As things stand, the talks have broken down.

The atmosphere was growing increasingly tense. Before Qiong stood Kevin, the strongest fusion warrior from 50,000 years ago and the ancestor of the Kaslana family; behind him was Welt, the second acting Herrscher of the present civilization, who was willing to die fighting against the Honkai...

"Glug—"

Swallowing hard, Qiong tried to force a standard smile, but it froze completely the next moment.

Whether you accept it or not.

Kevin waved his hand, and an ice wall rose up behind the two of them.

"Wait, I think we can still..."

Qiong didn't want to see the two sides fight, after all, both of them were very strong. Once the battle started, who knew whether the well-prepared Welt or the weakened Kevin would win? In any case, he would definitely suffer.

"I will return to judge and save you!"

"Qiong, do you remember what I told you?"

Walter, unfazed, stared intently at Kevin. Faced with this delusional guy, the only option was to use the Star of Eden to create a maze and trap him inside.

Qiong: ...

Qiong ignored Lao Yang's warning and simply held the Flame Spear without moving.

He dared not move. If a conflict suddenly broke out, wouldn't he be in trouble since he didn't have a gun at the ready?

An icicle rose from Kevin's feet and then suddenly exploded.

"Didn't I tell you to run away as soon as you see someone?!"

Walter shoved aside the dome blocking his way, a shard of ice grazing his cheek and striking the ice wall behind him, sending countless ice fragments flying.

This was merely Kevin's first probing attack, and its power was limited—not only was he trying to test Walter's abilities, but he was also testing whether Walter would use the Dome as a shield.

Thankfully, he didn't; perhaps Alicia really did succeed.

"Get out of here immediately!"

Walter's roar rang in Dome's ears, and then he heard a sound like a torrential downpour of impacts—countless ice spikes as thick as javelins shot toward Walter, who was protecting himself with a makeshift handmade shield.

"Uncle Yang!"

Qiong was pushed aside but only staggered for a moment before regaining her balance.

"Qiong, don't worry about me! Use that to go back quickly, don't look back, whatever you do, don't look back!"

Once Qiong returns, Walter can unleash his full potential by constructing a massive maze centered around the pre-prepared Star of Eden to trap Kevin before escaping. He can then go find Seele alone and return to the real world.

However, Qiong wouldn't do as he planned.

"How could that be! Kevin, stop, let's talk again!"

Yes, he was a little scared. But he couldn't just abandon Walter, could he? If he really just slunk back alone and told Einstein and the others that he hadn't done anything and had run away with Uncle Yang, wouldn't he have no shame?

Qiong's gaze was fixed on Kevin, but Kevin didn't even glance at the boy who called his name.

The selective deafness just now, and the selective neglect now, ignoring it is the greatest contempt, which makes Qiong very angry.

"I'm talking to you! Where's your basic manners?!" Qiong, angered, felt she couldn't let the white-haired guy look down on her! If she had Heavenly Fire, she would definitely give Kevin a shot—if she didn't have Heavenly Fire, she'd just have to make do with Flame Spear.

Concentrate your mind and try to mobilize the protective fire within your body—the fire within Qiong's body has been dormant for a long time. Previously, it was burning very brightly thanks to the fire borrowed from Yae Sakura Himeko, but now that you're using your own, it's not quite as strong... However, at least the flames don't seem weak. Under Qiong's deliberate control, the flames surged out. At least this should be able to divert Kevin's attention for a while, right?

As expected, both Kevin and Walter noticed something amiss, even causing Kevin's attack to pause slightly.

"The spear tip is already ignited!"

Qiong shouted, and the overflowing flames formed a huge fire field, engulfing all three of them.

"what is this?"

Kevin frowned slightly. Why couldn't he sense any Honkai energy?

"Stop, or I'll fight you to the death!"

From Kevin's perspective, the lance in Qiong's hand was engulfed in flames, and the overflowing firepower was already rushing towards him.

Completely surprised that a kid who couldn't even defeat a Quantum Shadow would launch an attack, Kevin paused for a moment, but reacted instantly. He raised his right hand, and a layer of ice crystal shield appeared in front of him. Meanwhile, the attack on Welt continued unabated.

Since all attempts to persuade Kevin were futile, Qiong had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.

"Heavenly Fire, unsheathe!"

"You know about the Heavenly Fire Judgment?"

Qiong, wielding a flaming spear, suddenly unleashed crimson flames, charging at close range and transforming into a streak of fire that shot straight at Kevin.

Wherever the spear passed, the air twisted and exploded, and solid ice melted into water. The ice shield was pierced by the impact of the fiery spear, and the sharp spear, carrying a wave of heat, hurtled towards Kevin, intending to turn him into charred remains. Even Kevin should have stopped attacking and taken cover, shouldn't he?

Kevin did not dodge to the side as Qiong had expected; instead, he directly reached out and blocked Qiong's attack.

Why didn't you dodge?!

However, seeing Kevin's cold gaze as if he were looking at an ant, Qiong, enraged, launched a full-force attack.

Just as the flaming spear was about to pierce Kevin, Kevin stopped his attack, and his palm emitted a strong white light.

"you!"

Qiong was startled. The moment he collided with Kevin, he felt as if he had hit an unshakeable iceberg.

"A very good attack, the future looks promising."

Kevin shook his hand; his palm appeared to be charred.

"Unfortunately, it's still far inferior to the Heavenly Fire."

Are you a monster?!

He knew Kevin was awesome, but he didn't know Kevin could also assemble a gun with his bare hands! How strong must that be!

Oh right, after all, he's Ancestor Kevin. Ancestor Kevin is at least a Hercules...

"Don't touch him! Star of Eden!"

Taking advantage of the gap created by the dome, Walter activated his ability, and the surrounding space began to distort. Large hands made of metal structures emerged from the air and reached out to grab Kevin.

But how could Kevin possibly be caught? In the blink of an eye, his large hand was pierced by icicles.

However, Kevin did not immediately launch a counterattack. Judging from his reaction just now, the relationship between the two is at least at the level of comrades-in-arms, and it should be at the level of mutual protection and confiding in each other. Both of them are willing to entrust their backs to each other... In other words, the human and the Herrscher have reached a mutual trust.

Even with his skepticism, Kevin was forced to consider a possibility he had previously dismissed: the Herrschers of the new civilization not only possessed humanity, but could even become comrades-in-arms of humanity—humans and Herrschers could already fight side by side.
