What is the concept of the "one percent" power from Kevin's script?
Easy!
This "era"—Autumn 2015.
During that time, he was so reckless he spent over 30 days sweeping through the global collapse disasters without a single moment of sleep. Afterwards, the diode manager—Youlandelle, who had been on vacation, was forced to get involved in Destiny's Second Divine Key Recovery and ultimately had to battle amid the chaos of a direct confrontation with the Serpent.
At that time, the one responsible for guarding the "Second Divine Key" was—"Armed Doll Kevin," who had inherited one percent of Kevin's power.
That day, the latter, wielding a replica of the pocket version of the Celestial Fire Saint, fought directly with Yolandelle, who was already an S-rank Valkyrie wearing the "Kaguya Tsukipo" armor.
Their battle directly destroyed several blocks of London, and to compensate for the loss, even Otto was forced to reluctantly slash the development budget for "Karen Fantasy."
In the end, if "Armed Doll Kevin" hadn't run out of energy, Yolandelle wouldn't have been able to determine the victor, even had she transformed into a "Golden Goose."
That is Kevin's "one percent."
So, the figure may seem small—but it must never be underestimated.
You know, even though about two years have passed, Yolandelle has grown stronger through 99% of her own effort and that 1% bloodline advantage of being nothing without him...
But now, what she's facing are thousands of "one percent Kevins."
And—
"Heeheehee~"
Suddenly, the many "Kevins" in view burst into laughter.
They all gave out female voices, deliberately high-pitched.
It was within this extremely bizarre atmosphere that Yolandelle's vision suddenly blurred.
Immediately, the surrounding scene gradually became illusory.
One "Kevin" after another vanished.
Of course, they didn't actually disappear.
Instead, they left a hidden trace.
Their figures loomed overhead.
What she now stepped on was no longer yellow sand.
Rather, it felt like stepping into a big city, surrounded by noisy entertainment.
Amid neon flashes—
"Toată lumea, fii atent."
Hearing the voice—it sounded like Fu Hua.
She radiated some kind of peculiar fluctuation.
Immediately, the soaring feathers of the red kite fell.
The ten people who arrived together at the Serpent's World Headquarters received a signal from the "consciousness."
It was like a "beacon" that quickly drew them together.
"Hmph, trying to use illusions in front of me?"
"Really living up to the old saying... the class is up to something!"
Behind Fu Hua, a phantom seemed to emerge.
Looking at the expression on her face, she was clearly in a foul mood.
She probably hadn't... gotten scammed over the phone.
In short, she, the Herrscher of Knowledge of this era!
A rebellious baby whose brain is stunned by massive memory.
For some reason, she ended her brief "escape" at this critical moment.
She decides to stand on the same side as her ancient senior.
At the very least, take down the annoying types around you first, and make sure there's a "tomorrow" to look forward to.
But right then—
"The Xiaohonghua classroom has begun... today's speaker is... the long-awaited senior ↑master↑" of HuaHuo
Amid the illusion, a maiden wearing a fox mask and twin ponytails bounces around the perimeter of the Ten.
Whenever Yolandelle and the others look carefully toward the sound source, from the opposite direction comes the clack of wooden clogs striking the ground and the crisp sound of a bell.
And... that eerie, sinister laugh.
"Ask a question!"
A figure looms overhead.
Upon seeing her, Delisa, Bronya... even Kiana and Raiden Mei among the ten open their eyes wide.
Because, that is—
"Wendy!"
The poor maiden who died long ago with bandaged legs.
At that moment, her head tilted, and the smile on her face was incomparably... healthy (Honkai).
"Valkyrie, Valkyrie... are there more good people in this world? Or more evil ones?"
"Winty" had just finished speaking.
"Naturally, there are more good people."
Another "Delisa" appeared beside her.
It was she who had pushed her top student into the "hell" of the Oceania branch.
That's why "this is a necessary sacrifice," Wendy cried and shouted.
She, who had the chance to become the fourth S-rank Valkyrie, lost both legs.
She saw herself as worthless!
Later, she met Bronya, met Kiana and Raiden Mei.
The three of them took care of her.
But good times didn't last long, and Coco Leah stepped in and turned that warm moment into the last nostalgia of her life.
In her final moment on the dissection table, "Wendy" suddenly twisted her head unnaturally like a puppet and tilted it too far. "If there are so many good people, why has this world never known peace?"
"Can evil people always thrive?"
The scene shifted abruptly.
The white-haired, golden-eyed girl is knocked unconscious by the former squad leader and taken to Destiny Headquarters.
The short-haired maid casually defeats the allies and mentors who came to rescue the former.
Later—
Still the white-haired girl—falls from the sky, only to be forcibly taken away by a blonde girl who chases her down a night road, crying and scolding her incompetence.
"I can't do anything!"
At this moment, "Dominator Doll·Hanabi" truly embodies what it means to be "one person, a thousand battles."
She brings all the characters to life, restoring every scene with 100% fidelity.
Eventually—
She portrays "Ling Ke."
The brunette who has now fallen into the "evil extreme."
He slowly spoke as if narrating:
"Because kindness that cannot distinguish between good and evil is not kindness."
Like a broadcaster, he pointed at the ten—Raiden Mei, Rita, Fu Hua, You Lauder, Delisa, and Bronya—"you are accomplices to evil!"
At this moment, among the ten, only the twins Xier and Arlene, as well as Kiana, were not implicated.
But she was just as shaken inside.
Precisely because in the play (classroom) performed by "Dominator Doll·Hanabi," a blazing red figure appeared.
Yeah.
Until now, Himeko-sensei...
Her whereabouts remain unknown.
And this world has not become what they had hoped, as she once promised in Skydome.
"There was once a social climber who disguised himself almost perfectly and said: Desire is the farthest thing from understanding."
Suddenly, "Ling Ke's" voice rang in their ears.
The ten were stunned.
None of them noticed when another dark-haired young man had appeared beside them.
The group watched him with high alert.
"Just listen," he muttered to himself, "I used to be so stupid I couldn't even clearly see your inner nature."
"It wasn't until everything was lost—dignity, vision, my whole self obsessed and disembodied—that I finally understood this extremely simple truth."
He glanced sideways at the ten, his gaze lingering on the six excluding Kiana, Xier, and Arlene. "After all these years, not to mention Cocoria—do you really not understand Otto's character? Or the nature of life and fate?"
"Or is it not that you don't know—it's just that... you're unwilling to admit it? To act more conveniently and avoid those dilemmas, you unconsciously treated that man as a pair of black gloves doing your dirty work, so you could maintain your supposed nobility and innocence while deceiving yourselves again and again. Right?"
He had no intention of attacking the ten, yet he moved slowly.
Of course, his words were far more efficient and cutting than any method of attack.
"Yes, maybe in your eyes, all evil deeds can be excused by the omnipotent reason of 'it's all to fight the collapse.'"
"The righteousness of serving the greater good... is really convenient, isn't it?"
"No matter if you lose your mind from using it so often."
The dark-haired young man's eyes sharpened. "Then have you ever considered those who are 'forced to pay' for your so-called justice? How should their pain and lost futures be calculated?"
"Do they have the power to choose?"
"Why, when labeled 'for all humanity' and burdened with a responsibility they (the weak) cannot bear, should our future (the weak) become your so-called just cause's disposable tool and stepping stone?"
His unholy eyes stared directly at the ten. "Those who were forced to disappear, those who weren't as lucky as me, those who couldn't wait for the good to come... Can you, who boast of justice, make up for what they lost?"
"Aren't you fighting for all the good things in this world?"
"Then why do villains like me do it? And all I use are things even a villain like me disdains—the mindset of a hypocrite?"
Then, the dark-haired youth finally looked at Yolandelle. "Stripped of your name, manipulated into becoming the strongest S-rank Valkyrie alive."
"You once asked the girl who took your name why she wanted to help Otto..."
"You said: 'If there is no Destiny, who will protect the billions of people on this planet from the collapse?'"
"You said: 'There is no absolute good or evil, right or wrong in this world—only mission.'"
"'And you simply fight for your mission!'"
At that moment, the dark-haired youth paused for a moment.
Next moment—
"What a disgusting statement—righteously apologizing for helping a villain."
The young man sneered. "I've already massacred hundreds of millions on this planet, just like you say, and the number is growing."
"Then by that logic, I could also argue: because so many people died, the rest can now enjoy more resources."
Lauder and the others obviously didn't know that in a certain place called the "Marvel Cinematic Universe," there really was a purple potato spirit who thought that way.
However, this one—
Mega-villain.
That one—
"If we go further, should those who aren't dead thank me, because I haven't killed them yet?"
"Then every minute and second of their lives now, should be spent in devout prayer to me?"
The brunette paused. "That's not how it is. You've known this simple truth all along, haven't you?"
"Good is good, evil is evil."
He stared straight at the ten. "Now, I am without doubt the most evil man to the vast majority of people on this planet."
"But at least I won't use those disgusting misconceptions to justify what I've done."
"Yes, compared to me who's fulfilling the 'Honkai Mission' with a clear stance, you..."
The dark-haired youth raised his hand toward the ten. "You're nothing but a bunch of self-whitewashing impostors."
"Without the many legacies left by past civilizations and countless twists of fate, your era would only be regarded by the 'end' as a defect or failure—like so many others before—completely judged, overthrown, and restarted."
"If that's the case—"
The brunette laughed.
At that moment, countless "fireworks" gathered around him, his whole body glowing with illusion.
Just watch as he opened his arms. "If an era needs to be saved with fakes and lies that make you feel good, then it's better to destroy it."
"Because you're not worthy."
"Naturally—"
At this point, a strange wave of energy spread. "Let's leave this precious opportunity to an era that deserves it!"
When these words reached everyone's ears—especially Thunderbolt Meiyi's—
"I'm really sick of talking about all these confusing truths."
Next to Fu Hua, another figure appeared who looked almost exactly like her, then said, "You've said a lot, but all I heard were four words: 'Demonic words confuse the people.'"
The Herrscher of Knowledge... was about to speak, "Elder, let's wait first."
The Herrscher, who had only recently been born, had a sudden look of alarm.
Immediately, a shocked expression followed.
"My power is disappearing!"
More than her—
"!!!"
Raiden Mei also felt something strange.
Because, having previously transformed into a full-bodied rhythmic form, she was now slowly reverting... to the "energy-saving mode" she uses every day.
The power of the "Herrscher of Thunder" in her body was constantly weakening.
Gradually, they were becoming less like themselves.
"This...
Raiden Mei looked solemn. "According to 'Jackal's' speculation and Dr. Einstein's analysis, didn't the Dominator Herrscher's method of plundering others' power work like a 'tug-of-war'?"
"Well, now even I..."
Yes.
Ling Ke is not your typical Dominator Herrscher.
He can control "thousands" of Kianas and Bronyas at will.
What about "everyone"?
That's an increase of more than tenfold.
Because 100,000 is 10,000, a million is 10,000, and a quadrillion is 10,000.
At that moment, Ling Ke—who previously had not been actively plundering Mei Raiden's power—revealed the fangs he had long prepared.
At this point, he... or Ling Ke, still firmly hidden within the dominator theater—
Is preparing for "power recycling."
The black-haired youth from earlier—another "Dominator Doll·Ling Ke"—had spoken in the desert for so long purely to stall for time.
His words, combined with the illusion from "Dominator Doll Hanabi," confused everyone present.
Especially their perception of the flow of time.
Obviously, Ling Ke is not the kind of villain who "dies from talking too much."
He, on the contrary, took advantage of that.
And now, the current situation is—
Ling's true body is now executing the final "step" without delay.
"According to the plan summarized by Fire Stealer (Prometheus), the more unstable the current global infrastructure is, the easier it is to implement my 'broken branches' plan."
"Then...
That's when the game character template 'Gilgamesh' arrived right on time.
Without it, Ling Ke's team might have had to expend more effort on this issue and lose more time.
This is the preparation needed for the 'thirteen hours.'
Although there's a high probability that the previously abandoned Plan A might succeed, its execution would be much more troublesome.
And "with time, variables easily increase."
Ling Ke understands all too well the odd temperament of the so-called "protagonist group."
Every time they slow down, delay, or start chatting—they end up doing something extremely foolish for no reason. Performing a lot of tactless actions. Perhaps the other side will shout about friendship, bonds, hope, and tomorrow. Wonderful.
But now—
"Guided by the 'predation' ability of the Law of Domination...
"Power is beginning to flow back into me."
"Thanks to those reversed fireworks (meteor showers), the 'Gilgamesh' level has also been fully updated."
"I will also make 100% use of his 'background talent.'"
Ling Ke focused his mind and said softly: "At this point, all preparations for world destruction (creation) are complete."
"This is the moment to ascend to godhood!!!"
