Chapter 39 Is Your Will Worthy of the Path You Are Towards?
The aftershocks of the energy storm still lingered in the Sea of Quanta, and the golden light receded slowly like the tide, but the halo that coated the entire space had not completely dissipated.
Kevin stood still, his clothes fluttering in the aftershocks, his gaze fixed on Chen Feng.
Chen Feng knelt on the ground, his right hand still trembling.
Blood dripped from his fingertips, blooming into dark red flowers in the void.
Chen Feng looked at Kevin in front of him, swallowed hard, spat out a mouthful of blood, and wiped his mouth with his hand.
He almost exhausted himself trying to block Kevin's attack this time.
Kevin looked at Chen Feng, who had suddenly appeared before him, and the golden light surrounding him, and his gaze shifted slightly.
However, when his gaze fell on the strand of white hair on the other person's forehead, he instantly understood how the other person had blocked his attack.
Kevin's eyes held no murderous intent, but even so, they were enough to make Chen Feng feel immense pressure.
"This power..."
Over the past fifty thousand years, he has seen far too many power systems.
Honkai energy, quantum energy, divine keys, stigmata, genetic modification of fusion warriors, and even forbidden experiments from previous civilizations that have been forgotten by history.
But he didn't recognize the power emanating from Chen Feng's body.
This force did not belong to any known form of energy that he recognized.
Moreover, during the contact just now, he could clearly feel that the opponent's power suppressed the Honkai energy he was outputting, which was why it was able to block his attack.
While Kevin was pondering, Seele, panting, hurriedly came to Chen Feng's side, knelt down anxiously beside him, and looked at the wounds on his body.
"Brother Chen Feng, you...you're badly injured..."
Xi'er hurriedly tore off a piece of her own clothing and used it to bandage the wound on Chen Feng's arm to stop the bleeding.
After Xi'er was tied up, Chen Feng reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her behind him.
"Come behind me."
Xi'er staggered a bit, but she still stood obediently behind Chen Feng. Looking at his back, which was covered in blood, she felt inexplicably at ease.
"Tsk, I have to say, if Chen Feng hadn't arrived in time, we really would have died here."
Hei hope spoke slowly at this moment, and Xi'er could hear a trace of fear and lingering apprehension in his tone.
"It's okay, Brother Chen Feng is here. We'll definitely leave here with Sister Bronya."
Hearing Seele's words, Black Seele revealed a bitter smile where Seele couldn't see her.
Leave.
That man was like an insurmountable mountain.
Chen Feng was already in such a state after only taking a normal attack from his opponent, so how could he possibly leave?
Kevin came to his senses after the two of them finished doing those things.
His gaze remained fixed on Chen Feng, constantly putting pressure on him.
Chen Feng was filled with a heavy heart at this moment.
I never expected to run into Kevin in the end.
With their current strength, leaving this place is no easy task.
But there's no other way now, so we have to be firm and hope Kevin will let them leave.
"What is your power?"
He didn't recognize Chen Feng's power; he had never seen it before.
His power can even be suppressed in the Sea of Quanta.
Chen Feng looked up at Kevin, whose lips still bore traces of blood that hadn't been wiped away, and whose white hair gleamed coldly in the Sea of Quanta.
He did not answer.
Even he doesn't fully understand where this power comes from or what it is.
This power has been within him ever since he could remember.
He always regarded this power as a cheat code brought by time travel.
Kevin saw that he didn't answer, and he didn't press the matter further, because he saw the answer in the other man's eyes.
He didn't know either.
At this point, Kevin changed the subject.
Do you want to defeat the Honkai?
"...Of course I want to."
Kevin was about to speak again after hearing the other person's reply, but then he heard what the other person said next.
"But not in your way."
Upon hearing this, Kevin's words, which had been on his mind, were now stuck in his throat.
He frowned slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the other person.
"What do you know?"
Chen Feng chuckled, propped himself up with his broken body, and stood up to meet Kevin's gaze.
"What I know is what you're thinking. Your so-called plan is laying the foundation for the future of all humanity."
Kevin's brow twitched.
It seems the other party really does know something.
Knowing that he was supposed to carry out the plan, and then denying himself at this moment, he couldn't help but think of a familiar comrade-in-arms.
Moreover, only he could deny it like that and mentor those who come after him.
"Have you met Sue?"
Chen Feng did not reply.
He certainly hadn't seen it, but since Kevin had already exonerated himself, there was no need to say anything more.
Kevin was left to guess.
Kevin saw that the other person was silent and assumed that the other person had tacitly agreed to this.
Kevin wasn't surprised by this, after all, quite a few people had met Sue.
If Sue said these things to him, it wouldn't be surprising.
The power emanating from the other party might actually be Su's doing.
Kevin wasn't angry. He simply said calmly, "The Stigmata Project is the last resort. Until a better option is found, it is the only option."
"This is just turning the death penalty into life imprisonment. It still won't help you escape the cycle of collapse. Besides, you can't represent all of humanity. You are not the god of the earth, much less our god."
Kevin was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes and shook his head.
If there were a more perfect plan, why would he have needed to initiate the Stigmata Project?
But at least for now, all the plans have failed.
He wasn't entirely skeptical of what Sue said, that the real world still held possibilities.
That possibility is just too low.
He couldn't accept another failure.
"You're still too young, too young to believe there's a perfect solution."
Chen Feng did not refute.
He knew everything Kevin had been through, and he knew he had no right to change the choice that someone had held onto for 50,000 years with just a few words.
If he doesn't speak up, there will never be a chance to change anything.
Kevin looked at the power emanating from Chen Feng that was completely out of this world, and for the first time, he reached out his hand, as if inviting him.
This invitation is not to become his companion, but to witness his strength and his will.
"If you can change my mind with your abilities, then show me."
Seeing this, Chen Feng took a deep breath.
He knew that this power within him was a variable.
So he didn't reject Kevin.
Golden light burned on his body, and his injuries gradually disappeared.
Kevin's eyes reflected the burning golden light of the other person, and he suddenly became very interested in this person.
This is someone who knows about the Stigmata Project but still chooses to stand on the opposite side, someone who would burn their lifespan to protect others.
Kevin wondered how far someone like that could go in the future.
Whether it can become that real variable.
"Come on, let me see if your will is worthy of the path you are about to take."
