Chapter 416

Durandal: "An experiment about whether I can only defeat you by relying on the power of the Stigmata you mentioned!"

"Alright~" Unexpectedly, this Arbiter of Trial agreed very readily:

"However, I must remind you that the thing you are thinking about right now... Siegfried Kaslana has already tried countless times."

"Because you are trying for the first time, I will show mercy... however, I also hope you will stop when it's appropriate~"

The conversation ended, and the game entered a battle state. "Five two seven"

The character Elysia was controlling was the trial character provided by the system—Palatinus Equinox.

It was mentioned at the beginning of the plot that Durandal's current strength had not yet fully recovered.

Moreover, she had also handed the holy sword to Rita.

So, this battle plot could also be considered a plot kill.

Durandal ultimately didn't win this battle.

And that Arbiter of Trial also turned back into the appearance of Homu.

"Hm, let's stop here. After all, I don't want to trigger some terrible defensive mechanism—"

"Otherwise, you would be buried deeper into your memories by his power."

Durandal: "He... refers to Ancestor Kaiwen?"

Homu nodded very directly.

"Since the day he shouldered the entire world, you were also forced to bear the destiny named Kaslana..."

"So I was born—as the manager of the Stigmata, upholding the rules left by that person, making 【Salvation】 your glory, and also making 【Salvation】 your curse."

"So, no matter what, only by completely liberating the Stigmata can you truly approach him, instead of getting lost in his shadow."

"However... you seem to be somewhat different..."

"In you, besides Kaslana, there also exist some completely different things."

"Other Stigmata?" Durandal asked subconsciously.

But Homu shook its head gently.

Immediately after, it went around in a big circle before barely explaining this matter clearly.

The meaning was almost—the Stigmata of Kaslana is very powerful, but it also made the Kaslana family bear the destiny of protecting the world.

As a knight who turned into a human, she bore all the suffering.

And Durandal is different; in her body, not only does she have Kaslana blood, but she also has Schariac holy blood flowing.

Of course, just having these two points wouldn't make her as strong as Durandal.

She is the only exception; only Durandal can harmonize with the origin of the world.

Speaking of which, it's a bit like the protagonist in a novel...

Except for the misfortune in her childhood, after that, Dudu almost opened a cheat code all the way.

Afterward, Dudu argued with Homu again, and then had another fight.

This time, Durandal unexpectedly... won.

And the result was just letting Dudu see a shadow of Ancestor Kaiwen.

Fortunately, this shadow of Ancestor Kaiwen answered many questions for Durandal.

At the same time, Ancestor Kaiwen also told Durandal some of his guesses.

In Ancestor Kaiwen's view, Otto teleporting Durandal here was to let Durandal fully awaken the power of the Kaslana Stigmata.

Because doing so would make Ancestor Kaiwen even less able to interfere with Otto's plan.

"But there is no doubt that fully inheriting the power of Kaslana will only make me stop the plan he mentioned with a more firm will!"

Ancestor Kaiwen replied faintly: "Maybe his purpose is to hope that you will stop him!"

"What?" Durandal was full of question marks.

And Ancestor Kaiwen explained unhurriedly: "Starting from your memory, I can propose an irresponsible guess..."

"For example, perhaps to him, your actions of stopping him from destroying the world will happen to bring him some different meaning."

"And he is aiming at this point, so at this very moment, he is determined to fold and reconstruct his so-called original world."

……

After listening to Ancestor Kaiwen's so-called guess.

It wasn't just Durandal who was shocked.

The players were also suddenly enlightened.

Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense.

Otto's strange actions before...

Not only was he not afraid of his plan being exposed, but he also repeatedly reminded Theresa and the others.

At the same time, he kept trying to provoke them with words.

This is a proper open scheme.

You won't stop me? That's fine, I'll reorganize the world and let the starting point of the world return to 500 years ago.

You stop me? That's even better; this way, I, Otto, can achieve my goal at a smaller cost...

Thinking of this, countless viewers were amazed.

As expected of the old fox Otto...

He dug a very obvious pit, then jumped out and called Theresa and the others to jump in obediently.

But the hateful thing is... whether Theresa and the others jump or not, it doesn't have much impact on the result of Otto's plan.

What has an impact can only be others...

Theresa and the others have to jump into the deep pit...

Such an Otto is really a bit terrifying.

……

And in the game, Ancestor Kaiwen answered some questions that the players didn't care about so much for Durandal.

Finally...

"Then next, I will stimulate the Kaslana power sleeping in your body."

"That power far exceeds the limits of ordinary humans; if you want to finally defeat and control it... I suggest you be 120% focused."

After speaking, this shadow of Ancestor Kaiwen gradually dissipated with the wind.

And Durandal also felt a path of destiny, like a frozen glacier, beginning to extend slowly and firmly under her feet.

Her body was freezing, and at the same time... it was also boiling.....

The path of the glacier finally brought her to the empty end, where only one voice echoed repeatedly in her mind—【Kill Honkai!】

The BGM in the game also turned into a symphony full of thick epic feeling.

Immediately after, the music also began to increase in pitch.

And the killing intent in Durandal's mind also became more and more intense.

【Kill Honkai, kill Honkai, kill Honkai, kill Honkai...】

【Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill...】

The entire game screen turned blood red.

Durandal only felt dizzy and had already begun to find it difficult to maintain her sanity.

A few painful cries came from her throat.

And just as she was about to scream, an extremely gentle female voice suddenly rang in her mind.

The killing intent that filled her entire head was also slowly dissipating.

"It's okay, child..."

"That was never a sin that belonged to you, nor is it a responsibility that can only be borne by you alone."

"At times like this, just appropriately rely on Mom's power~"

The Schariac bloodline seemed to neutralize the curse passed down by the Kaslana Stigmata.

A warmth flowed through Durandal's entire body.

That madness from all directions quickly dissipated without a trace...

However, that power from the Kaslana Stigmata did not disappear in the slightest.

Unlike all her predecessors... Durandal possessed an extra power that could completely control this power............

She knew very well that this was her biological mother, crossing time and space, bringing her a hug that was momentary yet eternal.
