Chapter 76: There is Also a Gap Between "Behemoths"
This is the complete manifestation of Earth's history in the form of Honkai Beasts. The logic of civilization's development—perhaps Kevin no longer possesses that vast and mighty power of Finality.
But the marks those things left on his memory have not been erased in the slightest.
Manifestation of the Beast of This World!
Even if it's just like the Suixiang, merely an illusory phantom.
But soon, Suixiang will understand that even if both are just phantoms of bygone days, there is also a gap between "behemoths."
The Manifestation of the Beast of This World raised high the "lantern" that resembled a falling sky, then slammed it down!
Leviathan's Cataclysm!
Boom!
A towering shockwave and blast surged towards Suixiang. The divine lightning hastily summoned from the sky was crushed to pieces by this tidal wave!
Its body was struck head-on by the shockwave. In an instant, mountains shifted, and the behemoth wailed!
Suixiang's body was pushed back dozens of miles, plowing deep furrows into the land along the way.
Dozens of wing-shaped, flower-like flying objects flew out from the "lantern," swarming towards Suixiang as if possessing sentience. Streaks of red laser light struck Suixiang, leaving scorch marks on its skin.
Harbinger of Great Extinction.
"Roar!"
Suixiang raged! It furiously vented its wrath upon those small things. The flexible Dimensional Annihilation Shadows easily dodged the sweeping strikes of its mace-like tail. Only the swift divine lightning had a chance to hit them.
Thud!
It had just wanted to teach the opponent a harsh lesson on how to be a proper behemoth with its breath attack, but that giant claw had already detached from the main body at a near-teleportation speed.
It pressed Suixiang's head hard into a fragment of landscape, splashing large amounts of ink, directly turning the proper Suixiang into a black dragon.
This kind of one-sided, crushing battle that felt almost like mockery drove Suixiang increasingly mad. The golden-bronze mace at its tail swung wildly but could not shake the white giant claw that was like a mountain.
Rumble!
The Manifestation of the Beast of This World even had strength to spare. The meteorite base firmly suppressed this teetering painting, preventing it from collapsing and dissipating.
Rather, if this were the original painting, it would have long since burst under such a battle.
A thick black bone spike protruded from the palm of the white giant claw, brutally piercing through Suixiang's body, making its form grow increasingly illusory.
The roars had gradually transformed into wails. The anger and madness in its heart had been utterly crushed into nothingness by this one-sided trampling.
The Manifestation of the Beast of This World turned another side. Its powerful giant pincer easily clamped onto Suixiang's somewhat bulky body.
Like holding a powerless "loach" that twitched occasionally, utterly incapable of putting up any decent resistance.
Suixiang's body was lifted higher and higher. The red divine ring in the sky above glowed faintly. The Manifestation of the Beast of This World's remaining two claws gripped the edge of the "lantern."
Boundless light converged. Profound dark red condensed into a single point, then erupted abruptly!
Paleogene Magma Flow!
A crimson light pillar instantly swallowed Suixiang's body, crushing across the earth and the lingering sunset on the horizon, leaving behind thick, exaggerated charred marks.
"......"
"......"
The two observing this battle fell silent. Dead silence, still dead silence!
Xi didn't need to be mentioned. Even Ling, who could kick Suixiang apart with one foot, had only used a clever method.
As long as I don't believe it exists, it doesn't exist. Suixiang was born from her perception, so simply negate it. The concept of "carefree" should not be bound by any constraints.
But Kevin's fight was different—completely and straightforwardly defeating... no, it should be said crushing—without any clever tricks at all.
The entire battle was so simple that Ling felt that even if the truly complete Sui were placed before this man, the outcome would probably be the same......
"Apologies, I didn't control the commotion well and made quite a mess here."
Kevin lowered his sleeves. The chaotic surroundings made him frown slightly. After all, it was someone else's territory...
"No... no problem!"
Seeing Kevin approach, Xi first shivered instinctively. That Suixiang originally came from within her. Now that it had dissipated, some of that fear and sense of powerlessness from being crushed had mixed into her emotions.
But his performance of practically pinning down Suixiang and pummeling it made her instinctively feel some reliance and... envy?
"Alright now, my dear little sister, don't shiver. Anyway, it's all over. Come have a drink together?"
"No no no!"
Xi's cool little face showed great resistance. She really didn't want to experience an incident like today's again.
She touched the sword beside her somewhat strangely. The aura of Sui within her seemed to have grown silent? For over a hundred years, she had never felt that part become as still as dead water like it was now.
Perhaps she could try sleeping today?!
Once this thought sprouted, it grew wildly in Xi's heart into a towering tree that could no longer be restrained.
Just as she was about to put this plan into action, she found the entire world beginning to shake.
In the distance, the god-like Manifestation of the Beast of This World slowly dissipated. As a phantom of bygone days, it should not have existed in this world in the first place.
What it recorded was Earth's history, not that of this land of Terra.
Having lost the suppression of the meteorite base, this painted world that had suffered such ravages by two "behemoths" was finally about to collapse.
The blank spaces and lingering sunset on the horizon fell away like fragments. Mountains and rivers dried up. With another blink, everyone had returned to the courtyard.
A few splotches of ink stained the ground and stone slabs. Apart from these four people, no one else would ever know what bizarre and fantastical sights had once been hidden within.
"A pity?"
"Are you really stupid or just pretending?"
Xi shot her eldest sister an annoyed glare.
"Hahaha, I can see you're in a good mood."
"What you said is right. It's not causing trouble anymore. I really do feel much more relaxed."
"This... Pozëmka, find me a room."
"Of course, Miss Xi. How about the room with four windows in the west courtyard? It was tidied up earlier... but... good thing I didn't put things away too quickly."
Fiammetta wore a polite smile on her face.
"Thank you. And... you... you too, thank you. How about I paint you a picture later?"
Xi's tone carried a hint of sincerity as she asked Kevin.
"A painting?"
"Mhm. I'll paint until you're satisfied. How about that?"
Ling clicked her tongue in amazement. This was the first time she'd seen her little sister Xi place herself in such a low position.
"Alright. But I may not possess the corresponding taste or appreciation skills."
"I hate that word 'taste.' It shuts people out right from the start. Who gave them the confidence to think only they are worthy of good things?"
Xi crossed her arms and let out a slightly tsundere hum.
"I think you're qualified, so you are!"
"Alright then, this lady is going to sleep. I'll paint for you after I wake up."
Xi waved her hand. Her retreating back actually carried a hint ofcarefree elegance (carefree elegance). This change made Ling smile slightly.
