Chapter 412: General Idea

In an instant it became a tiny black dot in the sky!

【Bullet‑screen system exploded instantly!】

Spiral trick:???!!! Hand‑free Jiemie?! And it cracked?!

Shana: The timing of the Counterattack… was spot‑on. Kevin hesitated that moment, and it was perfectly exploited.

Qianjie: Ha! That's more like it! What's the point of that painless, ticklish fight just now! Keep going! Hit harder!

Tianhui: His eyes… that instant… that wasn't combat awareness… it was deeper…

Xi Lian: …Flame Seed… is burning… everything… is burning…

Pink Fairy Miss?: Ah… looks painful… Kevin, are you okay? Get up and keep going!

System (Anonymous·███): Warning: Detected extreme‑intensity "load" and "release" cycle peak!

Target energy reaction pattern undergoing drastic change!

Jiemie structure damage rate: 77.3%.

Kevin damage assessment: Moderate.

Combat intensity upgraded.

In the Pure White Space, Heimu's violet‑black eyes stared intently at the screen.

"Hand‑free cracking Jiemie? Though it's simulated data, the intensity…"

She quickly pulled up the energy reading from that instant, "No, it's not just raw power. The rebound's instantaneous conversion efficiency hit a terrifying level, concentrating into a single explosive burst… he stored the continuous attack power Kevin just delivered, then returned it in this punch?"

She watched as Bai E slowly straightened his body on the screen, hovering at the edge of the deep pit.

His right palm still bore the charred scar from Jiemie's burn, but the scar was being rapidly repaired by surging violet‑black patterns.

The flicker of fire in his eyes had not gone out; instead it burned clearer, illuminating his expressionless face.

He looked up, gazing toward the vanished horizon where Kevin had disappeared.

In the next instant, his tattered wings behind him flapped violently!

"Whoosh—!"

The violet‑black silhouette vanished on the spot.

High above, thousands of meters up.

Kevin forced his churning Qi and blood down, his ice‑blue eyes turning icy.

A searing pain in his chest and a feeling of bones shattering reminded him of the horror of that punch.

The crack on the Jiemie Sword Tip was even more shocking.

"Careless…."

A chill rose in his heart, "That rebound isn't a uniform feedback; it can accumulate and release concentrically… it might even have some trigger mechanism."

Before he could ponder, a fierce killing intent had already Lock‑ed him in the high sky!

Below, a violet‑black speck was rapidly enlarging in his field of view!

It was Bai E! He was catching up!

Kevin didn't hesitate, forcibly twisting his still‑flipping body, gripping the cracked Jiemie with both hands, pouring his internal power into it wildly; the dark‑golden flame on the blade surged again, and with a full‑strength slash he struck at the descending figure!

However, Bai E's speed was faster than he had expected!

At Shana the Jiemie's edge was about to strike him, Bai E's silhouette folded oddly in the air, like a weightless phantom, slipping past the blade by a hair's breadth and appearing instantly at Kevin's side!

The Dark-colored Great Sword in his hands, having somehow broken free of its ice seal, was now raised high; the violet‑black flames coiling around the blade roared like countless voices within!

Then, a slash!

Kevin only managed to shift the Jiemie sideways for Blocking.

"Clang————————————————！！！！！"

A metallic roar louder than any previous collision detonated in the high sky!

Kevin felt as if a real meteor had struck him head‑on; his Blocking arms went numb instantly, his palms shattered, blood splattering!

The dark‑golden flame on the Jiemie's blade flickered erratically, and the crack on the tip even spread a bit!

He was flung like a smashed fly, slamming diagonally toward the ground thousands of meters away at an even greater speed!

"Boom—！！！！！！！"

The earth let out another strained wail!

A crater larger than the previous one appeared at the battlefield's edge, smoke and dust mingling with shattered rock and debris rose skyward, forming a small mushroom cloud.

At the crater's center, Kevin knelt half‑down, the Jiemie Great Sword planted beside him, supporting his body.

He gasped heavily, his white short hair stained with dust and blood; his combat suit was torn in many places, revealing skin beneath that glimmered with ice‑blue light and was slowly self‑healing—an immense vitality granted by Fusion Destruction Beast Factor.

He lifted his head, his ice‑blue eyes piercing the swirling smoke, locking onto the slowly descending, demon‑like silhouette in the sky.

Bai E hovered dozens of meters above the crater, his tattered wings flapping slowly to maintain balance.

The golden fire in his eyes burned steadily, his gaze hollowly fixed on Kevin.

Purple‑black flames rose quietly around him, framing him like a vengeful spirit returned from hell.

He tilted his head slightly, as if confirming his opponent's condition.

Then, he raised the Dark-colored Great Sword in his hand once more.

The blade tip pointed at Kevin at the crater's bottom.

Silent, yet it carried the most direct proclamation—

It's not over yet.

【Bullet‑screen flashes again】：

AAA Cat‑Cat Hero Proxy: Boss Kevin! Can you still fight? Want to retreat first?

Artist: The colors… have become so deep… so heavy… like countless stories piled together…

Spiral Trick: Catastrophic Annihilation damage data recorded! Opponent attack pattern secondary analysis! Impact resistance threshold re-estimated! Great! This data flow! Bring more!

The heavy doctrine: Kevin… his "karma" is being triggered…

Heimu looks at the screen, fingers lightly tapping the sofa armrest.

On the screen, Kevin and Bai E's battle remains intense.

Bai E hovers above the deep pit, purple flames rising, golden fire in his eyes burning steadily, Kevin slowly stands upright at the pit's bottom, the catastrophic annihilation sword's cracks are shocking, yet his ice‑blue eyes show no hint of retreat, only an increasingly concentrated chill.

Their surrounding force fields collide, causing the air in that area to ripple with distortion.

The next clash will inevitably be more ferocious.

But Heimu watches, and silently clicks her tongue.

"This won't do."

Her gaze sweeps over the real‑time refreshed, system‑simplified status bars on one side of the screen.

The blue bar representing Kevin's vitality, and the dark‑gold bar representing Bai E's, both fluctuate, but their decline is negligible, almost unnoticeable.

Bai E's bizarre mechanism, combined with his terrifying foundation as a Complete Form vessel.

Meanwhile, Kevin, as a Le Tu Data Body, cannot wield the full Salvation power, but his combat experience, will, and body fused with Brahma are equally bottomless.

One is attack‑defense integrated, nearly unsolvable; the other is thick‑blooded and durable, with superb technique.

If it continues like this, unless one side makes a major blunder or is willing to fight to the bitter end, it's likely to become a protracted war of attrition.

"We need a… absolute force that can break the balance to intervene."

Heimu ponders silently.

The Complete Form self might manage, but Repair Degree has dropped to 60.1%, and that scale of interference cannot be sustained for now.

She suddenly recalls something, lifts her eyes toward the floating System Panel beside her.

"System,"

She asks, "I recall you mentioned before that once my Repair Degree reaches 50%, I can fully liberate them, is that correct?"

【System】: To be precise, it is the permission to forcibly lift the basic JinGuState.

The Golden Descendant's data and core bindings will automatically unlock, allowing free movement in System Space and certain linked areas.

In theory, this kind of combat Persuasion is unnecessary.

"Then why is Bai E still fighting here?"

Heimu tilts her head, her violet‑black eyes inquisitive, "I'm already at 60%."

【System】: Executing logical conflict detection.

Target: Bai E (Shen E form).

Status: Unliberated (JinGuState).

Hindrance: Target entity possesses uniqueness.

Analysis as follows: 1. Number of reincarnations experienced: 33,550,336 times.

2. Total accumulation of Flame Seed within the body: 402,604,032 units.

3. Deep linkage and historical interaction records with the original system core.

Based on the above uniqueness, the target holds partial Core Permission within the system.

Current permission share: 38.9%.

Heimu's tapping of the armrest ceased.

"…What?"

She froze for two seconds before uttering a monosyllable.

【System】: Repeat: Target Bai E holds system Core Permission 38.9%.
