Chapter 189: Do You Know Why Birds Can Fly?
Rip—!
Almost without any warning, the clothing on Kevin's back was suddenly torn apart, and a single wing as black as ink grew out. However, behind it, there were still tattered wings as decoration... even though it looked completely incapable of flight.
And then, the black foreign substance began to surge continuously over Kevin's body, almost instantly enveloping him entirely—after a few seconds, as the barrier dissipated, the clothing around him had already transformed into a set of dilapidated armor.
That appearance was like... a demon plunging into the abyss, one who had only realized after countless tribulations and intended to completely throw himself into the darkness?
This appearance actually couldn't be considered terrifying at all; compared to his previously plain and ordinary attire, it even added a sense of wild, untamable destruction to Kevin—even though this was not his own wish.
But in the current situation, probably no one would think this was a good change, right?
"This... what's going on?! Although Uncle Kevin looks really powerful in this form now, but, but... why does it seem like he's not on our side?!"
March 7th instinctively wanted to seek help from her companions beside her, but when she turned her head to look, she found that Stelle's wide-eyed expression was even more exaggerated than her own. And as for little Elysia... wait, when did her camera end up in this guy's hands??!
"Is this... the form of an 'Active Honkai Reaction'?"
Obviously, the well-informed Welt was the first to recognize Kevin's current appearance. But he wasn't sure whether the Active Honkai Reaction actively triggered by Phantylia would have too great an impact on Kevin's own consciousness.
Even so, Welt still temporarily stopped Jing Yuan, who was about to include Kevin in the attack range, and gently shook his head at him: "Trust him. Now is not the time for us to act."
And Phantylia was probably the happiest person upon seeing this scene.
"Yes, that's right... just like this, just like this! Look at you now, this form representing 'Destruction' is so beautiful and moving..."
"I believe even He would not be stingy with His gaze... as long as you are willing to accompany me in turning the entire Xianzhou Alliance into dust in the universe."
The "He" in Phantylia's words, without even thinking, must be that Aeon representing 'Destruction'—Nanook.
The 'Destruction' He pursues must be pure—like those dregs manipulated by selfish desires who simply take pleasure in slaughter, or only plunder wealth, or merely to calm their own frenzied hearts... these scum completely cannot receive His favor.
But Phantylia believed that a power as purely seeking destruction as that within Kevin's body would absolutely gain His favor. It might not even be completely impossible to obtain the honor of becoming an Emanator like her?
"A power representing destruction... no, pure power is never defined by any affiliation. Only humans define things in the world with subjective delusions."
Completely contrary to Phantylia's expectations, even though she unhesitatingly stirred all the destructive power hidden within Kevin's body at the same time, his mind seemed completely unaffected. Instead, soon after the physical mutation occurred, he raised his head again and looked at her with increasingly cold eyes.
"And what made you mistakenly think I couldn't even control my own power?"
That's right, his own power.
No matter who these Honkai Beast abilities originally belonged to, since they have all entered Kevin's body and obey his commands, then they are his own power.
And since that's the case, no matter how terrifying, unruly, or difficult to control it is... it cannot become a reason for Kevin to be controlled by his own body instead.
"Haha, hahahahaha, so that's how it is, so that's it... this is interesting, this is interesting! I like you even more now... Kevin Kaslana."
Who would have thought that Phantylia was also so insane? Upon realizing her schemes and plans were completely useless, she instead laughed excitedly.
That's right, a puppet manipulated by power, no matter how valuable, is merely an object.
Only by transcending this power and becoming its true master can this puppet instantly become more valuable... no no no, it should be called a priceless treasure!
In that instant, Phantylia even felt that obtaining Kevin before her eyes seemed more meaningful than destroying the entire Xianzhou ship.
Faced with such a frenzied enemy, even Kevin had no idea what to say. In the state of 'Active Honkai Reaction', not only was he not affected by the 'beast' side at all, he instead became increasingly cold, cold like a machine.
"Unfortunately, I don't like someone like you at all."
After shaking his head, Kevin gently reached his hand into the void and then clenched it lightly, as if grasping something in his palm.
Just like Welt, having once stolen the 'Power of Finality', he also had hope of reproducing the 'Authority of Finality'. But after all, he was just a fire thief; wanting to use this flame that did not belong to him, it was only natural that he would be burned by it.
Therefore, only in a state like 'Active Honkai Reaction', where all physical conditions are greatly enhanced, could Kevin wield that power.
For example—creating out of thin air the weapon he was once most familiar with: the 7th Divine Key · Judgment of Shamash.
Boom—!
As Kevin violently pulled that blade from the void, erupting flames instantly shot up into the sky over a hundred meters high, seemingly loudly announcing its return to the entire universe.
If judged by power and authority, this great sword containing the core of the Herrscher of Fire undoubtedly represents the epitome of destruction and ruin.
"Such astonishing power... what is this? You clearly aren't an Emanator belonging to any 'Aeon', right?"
The ability to create objects from nothingness, a blade surging with destructive power—how could Phantylia not be confused about Kevin's true identity?
Even though the universe is indeed boundless, she didn't believe she wouldn't recognize where such terrifying power originated from?
"For the battle at hand, these are all just trivial details, Phantylia."
"Do you know why birds can fly?"
