Chapter 1367: Weng Falos 3.4 (402)
Honkai 3.
"Burn together with the god of 'Destruction' and its minions until they are completely consumed…"
Eden whispered the sentence again, her fingers lightly interlaced. A bold conjecture quietly rose in her heart, but she suppressed it because it was too insane.
"That 'He' must refer to Nanuq, Bai E… what does he plan?"
"Very simple."
A low, unvarying voice came from beside them. Kevin gazed quietly at Bai E's silhouette, a faint ripple finally stirring in his ice‑blue eyes.
"When Sisyphus finally puts down the boulder that tormented him for hundreds of billions of years, what he must do is step over that despair‑built summit and let a mortal's roar reach the lofty god above."
"Just a roar?" Ailixiya turned her face, smiled lightly, "I see more than that, Kevin. Bai E… intends to hoist that sun‑scorching boulder and smash it down onto the god in the heavens."
"Indeed, more than a roar…"
As soon as Star nods, Bai E is free of any burden. He can finally ignite the anger he has amassed over hundreds of billions of years and strike the final sword at the arrogant 'Fate'.
Fighting 'Destruction' with 'Destruction'… this truly is the ending most fitting for him.
——
"'I agree.' Star nodded gravely."
"'…Excellent. Then this long, futile wasteland can finally bloom.' The hero in his heart turned, 'Then…'"
"'If Star assumes the duties of the 'Whole World'… unlike a flame that only knows how to burn, she would surely travel farther on the path of salvation.' Bai E slowly walked to the lakeshore, gazing at the distant glittering waves, 'One person goes to the future…'"
The hero in his heart slowly walked toward Star, and at that moment their silhouettes merged.
"'One stays in the past.'"
"'If I can slay the god with Qinshen, perhaps the knot of Fate can be untied. If you can find a way to prevent the birth of the Iron Tomb, then the thirty‑million‑era cycle would not be in vain.' Bai E smiled lightly, 'Now is the moment to test our rapport, partner.'"
He turned, and this time, what appeared in his eyes was no longer an imagined hero, but the real Star.
Seeing the man who alone bore the world in endless cycles, Star gently placed his hand on his chest.
"'Good job, partner.'"
"'Let's become saviors together.'"
Bai E nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes: "The heroic image I've kept sealed in my heart has finally entered reality—at the end of this long fire‑pursuing journey… Xilian, that unprecedented page has already been turned."
"'Grant me the power of 'Years' to send this hero back to the origin of time, to your side—while I walk the unfinished road… just as countless past me have, as always.'"
——
Inuyasha.
"Bai E can rest assured; with the Train Group's contacts, they'll definitely find a way to stop the Iron Tomb." Inuyasha 'Clap' pounded his palm, snapped his head up, "No, not stop… eradicate! It must be total eradication of the Iron Tomb!"
"You think it's that easy…"
Gowei let out a soft sigh, a helpless expression on her face that said, 'I knew you'd say that.'
"If this guy truly has the power to kill the Sage of Knowledge, the situation would be dire. So far no precedent exists of a tool killing a star god—if the Iron Tomb can do it, it would mean a new possibility for the method Kafuka once mentioned to 'kill the star god.'"
"But all this is within the Sage of Knowledge's calculations, isn't it?" Coral retorted, "If the Iron Tomb can truly kill Him, the first to know would be the Sage himself; facing the future life‑or‑death crisis, He couldn't possibly do nothing."
"The best method is to have Borka Kakamu eliminate Laigushi." Maitreya rested his hands behind his head, saying lightly, "When a crisis threatens the star god's existence… regardless of whether the first Zandal will intervene, the #4 Borka Kakamu should also act against Laigushi. In dealing with a 'genius', Borka is more professional and experienced."
"Exactly! The Pioneer leader handles the Iron Tomb, Borka handles Laigushi, division of labor!" Inuyasha's confidence grew.
Gowei propped her forehead, sighed at length, "You really dare to imagine… as if Borka would inevitably get involved. The geniuses' stances seem varied; only the issue has prompted their temporary cooperation. Who knows how many of the existing geniuses would side with the Black Tower or Screw Goom?"
——
"'They say, if suffering ever ends, I… will be the savior.'"
The past memories are vivid, yet at the end of the thirty‑million‑era memory lies Kareslan's cold gaze overlooking all.
Flames reflected in his blue eyes, as if his soul burned fiercely.
"'But why now, behind me… there is nothing.'"
Bai E thrust his sword forward; the Fire‑Stealer descended upon Aohema City, and Heichi monsters mercilessly slaughtered humans, turning the whole city into a sea of flames in an instant.
Feng Jin knelt beside the wounded, tears blurring her sight, desperately healing the injuries before her, yet the dead kept rising, and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't save them.
Not far away, Aglaea fought side by side with Xadie, battling the Heichi monsters together.
"'After it's over? Let's open a tailor shop.'"
"'Living for oneself isn't bad.'"
In memory, this was Aglaea's familiar voice.
But the next second, the Fire‑Stealer suddenly swung his arm, his great sword streaking like a meteor, cutting through the air to pierce Aglaea's back heart!
A spray of golden blood erupted, but the one who fell was not Aglaea, but Xadie—
At the last moment, she stepped forward to shield Aglaea, the blade passing through her chest unimpeded, spilling a plume of warm golden blood.
"'I want to be an ordinary person.' In memory, Xadie's gentle voice sounded."
"'That can't be called a wish.'"
Bai E panted heavily, feeling a strong wind from behind. He spun sharply to block, just meeting the Fire‑Stealer's lethal thrust. Yet the Fire‑Stealer's clones kept coming; no matter how many he killed, more surged forward.
"'Then stand up and face me!'"
Surrounded by the Fire‑Stealer's clones, Bai E was defended as Wandi rushed in to break the siege, but when a rear ambush struck, his body was pierced again by a great sword, collapsing into a pool of blood.
Before death, his eyes still gazed toward Bai E's direction.
"'Why…'"
