Ling Ke turned his gaze back.
Speaking of Mebius.
If it was him before time traveling, he actually quite liked her.
And "back then, his level of fondness was even higher than that for the ever-famous Alicia!"
Because Ling Ke had no interest in the kind of conflict where someone claimed to treat everyone equally, but didn't actually show it.
Of course, all of the above is a thing of the past.
Now—
"Just another 'actor' in place."
That's Ling Ke's current mindset.
What interested him the most was, after all, a play that was extremely dramatic and intense.
Just like right now.
"唪~"
In Kevin's hands was an ultra-hot flame sword.
Skyfire Sacred Blade form.
It seemed that, considering Mei and her "self" from that era weren't far and could be easily affected, he had obviously held back his strength.
Otherwise, with his power, he should have started in the "Kalpa" form.
And facing him—
"Kevin, you still choose to stand on his side (Ling Ke's)?"
Raiden Mei gripped the large sword in her hand, her eyes slightly narrowed. "Then I have nothing more to say."
"Change of location."
Amidst the gas smoke that filled the café and could easily knock out normal people, Raiden Mei walked toward the door.
In the end, she stopped in the doorway. "If we fight here, you won't be able to let loose."
"And I don't want to hurt innocent people."
With a glide, she left the café first.
Next moment—
"Tu Tu Tu Tu Tu~"
A barrage of bullets rang out from outside the store.
But it quickly quieted down.
Obviously, with Raiden Mei's current strength, though far below that of the neighboring underworld, she wasn't someone that ordinary people with real firearms could hope to restrain.
As for Kevin—
To be honest, if it were the original him, he wouldn't want to fight Raiden Mei here.
Even if he did, he would deal with her secretly.
There's no other reason. His and Raiden Mei's appearances were too conspicuous. Once exposed, it would definitely implicate Mei and her young "self" from this period.
And now it was an inevitable conclusion.
The reason for this, apart from Ling Ke—who must not be provoked—was that if it weren't for some guy secretly making moves... if he hadn't just been useful...
Gray Snake: suddenly felt a chill.
"."
Kevin moved with his sword. "Forget it. Let's get to work first."
And so, shortly after Raiden Mei left, the back of this "Savior" Zhuhuo Hero, a "returnee" of over 50,000 years, also disappeared into the mist filling the café.
Soon after—
Titicaca~
Hei!
A violent roar sounded from outside.
For a moment, storms intertwined with flames, deafening, with sand and stones flying.
The area where the two fought was a scene of destruction.
Ling Ke used multiple spatial doors to move in and out of the dominator's theater, then arrived at the rooftop of the building where the café was located.
Facing the strong wind blowing from the height of the building, he looked into the distant battlefield.
"At this point, the process of this era begins to accelerate!"
The corners of Ling Ke's mouth slightly lifted, revealing the fact.
Because, on this very day—
Whether it was the leadership of nations in the current era.
Or insiders within "Moth of the Fire."
Or—
"Wonderful!"
"This is post-evolution... no, this is just incomplete..."
Inside a gloomy room, Mebius, arms crossed, spoke without any clear thread.
The unusual emotion on her face was truly palpable.
The city of Changkong in this era was filled with surveillance.
And today, they were being destroyed one after another.
As for the consequences—
In just under a minute.
The battle between Kevin and Raiden Mei had already spread across several blocks.
And this wasn't their intention to cause destruction.
It's just that the two sides "passed through" each other while clashing swords.
One step forward would crack the ground, one slash would collapse a building.
Fortunately, the evacuation force organized by "Moth Chasing Fire" in the surrounding area had been a benchmark.
Changkong City's international airport had been locked down.
All flights were suspended, all staff withdrawn, and all passengers forcibly evacuated.
Raiden Mei and Kevin also seemed to be aware of this, and both sides tacitly decided to fight on the relatively wide tarmac and runway.
But—
"Moth Chasing Fire" had anticipated something bad.
The truth is, whether Kevin or Raiden Mei—
He and she both far exceeded the strength of any common law enforcer.
On Kevin's side, tens of thousands of years earlier in his life history, when he first became a fusion warrior, he had single-handedly destroyed the Seventh Herrscher—this era's Herrscher of Flames.
And you should know, the latter had turned the entire Australian continent into a sea of fire in just one week.
And at that time, Kevin had not yet engaged in the "Chimera Project" or achieved the "Brahma Beast."
Nor did he yet wield the "Skyfire Sacred Blade."
As for Raiden Mei—
As Ling Ke said, she "accidentally entered nothingness," and before being completely destroyed, her combat power far surpassed her former self as the full-body Herrscher of Thunder.
The battle between her and Kevin was indistinguishable for a while.
And when it came time to decide the winner—
"Not to mention whether the surrounding continental shelf will suffer severe damage, at the very least this entire island nation of the Far East... shouldn't exist anymore."
That's what Ling Ke predicted.
Just around this time—
Boom!
Inside the distant airport, towering flames and violent electrical storms erupted.
The shockwave from their collision shattered even the Gnaku far in the surroundings.
Some planes didn't even have time to explode—parts of their fuselages had already begun melting.
And in the process—
Woo~~
Came the sound of "air being torn."
"Oh my."
Ling Ke frowned slightly, leapt easily, and landed on another tall building beside him.
And the spot where he had just stood—
Bang!
The remains of a plane, half-melted, crashed down.
Just imagine—if Moth of Fire hadn't evacuated the crowd beforehand, this would still have been the bustling city center just a few hours ago.
"When gods fight, mortals suffer!"
Ling Ke sighed sincerely. "Let alone, they're still far from reaching the level of 'gods'... wait a second."
Evacuating the crowd?
Apparently, in that store a moment ago...
唪~
The collapsed building had stirred up a lot of smoke and dust.
At a certain moment, a pink figure emerged from it.
Clearly small—at least a head shorter than Ling Ke.
But in the crooks of both her arms was a figure who had lost consciousness.
They were young Kevin and Mei.
Seeing this—
"Hey, now that's boring!"
Ling Ke shook his head.
He had deliberately avoided using his "omniscience" power—only because he didn't want to spoil the drama, and still believed fate would unfold.
Just imagine: Ancestor Kevin, displaced from time, if he finds that the Mei of this era is now dying—
"He'll probably chase Raiden Mei like a madman to the ends of the earth!"
"Or... wag his tail at me and beg for mercy?"
"Just like Magneto who saw his wife and daughter die in an accident and pleaded to God (Fate) in pain and rage?"
Thinking of that—
"Fate...~"
Ling Ke's eyes landed on the pink-haired girl below, who let out a breath of relief. "Based on the original plot, you should also be able to see the 'line.' In this regard, you're even stronger than Aponia. And you've had this ability from the very beginning."
"You've just been hiding it... or: You didn't think it was necessary to reveal such information, right?"
"The original Herrscher—Alicia!"
