Chapter 139: Seeing That Man, Welt Was at a Loss!
"......?"
Even though he had once been a 'Herrscher,' at this moment, Welt's body was essentially almost the same as that of a normal ordinary person. There was simply no way to compare it to Kevin's body, which had undergone countless modifications long ago.
Forget about physical attributes; even in terms of perception, which is somewhat detached from normal scientific scope in essence, Welt's abilities were far inferior to Kevin's—Kevin's abilities simply didn't seem like something a normal living being could possess.
But before Welt could even ask Kevin anything, he himself suddenly sensed that someone else was approaching the vicinity of the square. By the time he turned his head in that direction, the other party was still approaching at a very fast speed.
"...Dan Heng?"
His glasses on his face seemed to be merely decorative, as Welt could clearly see that familiar figure from afar. And this was indeed something that could make him feel slightly surprised.
He had, of course, long understood that Dan Heng's original true identity was definitely connected to the Xianzhou Alliance. But after all, the Nameless were a group of companions from different civilizations, and it was unknown when they might part ways... If he wasn't willing to talk about it, they naturally had no right to insist on asking.
But Dan Heng, who had originally been unwilling to set foot on the Luofu, now seemed to be chasing after them anxiously... Was it because some major change had occurred again?
"Phew... Has the trouble here already been resolved?"
Dan Heng, who had done his utmost to arrive at the scene within a few minutes, couldn't help but still be a bit out of breath. His eyes quickly scanned the area once, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised when he looked at the two who had already noticed him: "Uncle Yang, and... Mr. Kevin?"
In his impression, Kevin should still be in Belobog. Even if the other party were to leave there, he wouldn't have followed the Astral Express so precisely to the Luofu and arrived not much later than them, right?
Welt didn't respond directly but instead first turned his head to look at Kevin. The meaning was also very clear—
Is this the other person you mentioned?
And Kevin also seemed to be on the same wavelength as he shook his head and explained: "No, he... that guy is deliberately hiding further back."
"Who else could there be..."
"Hmm? It's only been a few minutes, and the trouble here has already been resolved. Should I say I came too late... or that I came at just the right time?"
Before Welt could even finish his sentence, another unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind him... No, this voice probably wasn't unfamiliar to him at all because the moment he heard this familiar tone, all the muscles in his body subconsciously tensed up.
Void Archives...?
No, that's not right... That guy would never choose to appear before him at such a time, nor would he speak to him in such a tone.
Of course, no matter what, this couldn't stop Welt from immediately turning around in this situation where he was already in a combat stance to look at Luocha, who was closely following behind Dan Heng. And naturally, Kevin's gaze had already fallen upon him even earlier.
In that instant, not to mention Dan Heng, even March 7th, who normally was the worst at reading the atmosphere, honestly kept her mouth shut. This caused the scene to fall silent for a moment, with only a dangerous atmosphere brewing continuously.
"What's going on, you two... The atmosphere seems a bit off?"
Faced with this situation, Luocha naturally immediately raised his hand gently to express his harmlessness. But this action didn't seem to have any effect; instead, it made him feel that the gazes of those two guys looking at him became even more dangerous.
But even if he thought it over and over again, he couldn't remember having offended the other party anywhere... He had never even seen the two people before him and shouldn't have been targeted by anyone in the first place.
"What's going on? Are you sure it's him? Or... is it simply an alternate universe counterpart?" Welt suddenly asked Kevin beside him. The two who had just been hostile towards each other seemed to have suddenly united their front.
To be honest, Welt's knowledge was not lacking at all. Otherwise, how could he have used his knowledge to construct countless usable weapons when he was once the Herrscher of Reason?
In similar yet completely different parallel universes, there could also be people who are almost identical to those in another universe—the probability is small, but on an infinitely large scale, it is definitely not zero.
"Clearly not."
Kevin only needed to slightly close his eyes and carefully sense it to directly perceive the condition inside the other party's body—although their appearances were almost identical, the energy and various states within their bodies were completely different. It was almost impossible for them to be the same person.
"But you should also know that even as counterparts, at most they would only have slight differences in personality expression due to different experiences... In certain aspects, they definitely still have similarities that are difficult to distinguish."
Just like how even with that Bronya in Belobog, Kevin could see their similar resilience; even with Raven in World Serpent who worked as a mercenary, Kevin could still see kindness in her.
And to be honest, even with that one in Belobog's Underworld who worked as a doctor and ran an orphanage... Kevin could also see her style of fighting without holding back at all.
"So you mean you can confirm they are definitely not the same person?"
After hearing Kevin's explanation, Welt slightly relaxed his expression. Even though he didn't completely let down his guard, he almost withdrew from his original combat stance.
Regardless of whether Kevin is that kind of person or not, he would never outright deny someone based solely on appearance and deductive possibilities—even if they look exactly alike and their personalities are almost identical. After all, he is not him and has never done or understood the things he has done.
Otherwise, he would never have reached a cooperation with 'Void Archives' back then.
"I'm sorry for that attitude earlier. It's just because you look very much like an old acquaintance we once knew..."
Welt walked step by step to Luocha's side and extended his hand towards this newly met familiar stranger: "But I'm glad you're not him. Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy, isn't it?"
And thankfully you are not that man... Otto Apocalypse.
