Bab 40: Ch-40 < Disaster >
In the heart of a forgotten dimension, where the very fabric of reality twisted and turned, there existed a force older than time itself—the Outer god Yui < The world eater >
This being, shrouded in mystery and bound by the ancient laws of the world, served as the ultimate arbiter of fate.
It watched over the multiverse with an indifferent gaze, ensuring that the balance of power was never tipped too far in favor of any one being.
She rules over specific part of multiverse which comes under her domain.
She detected the aura of Finality. As Kevin continued his journey, unaware of the trials that awaited him, the outer god silently adjusted the threads of destiny.
The difficulty of every trial, every battle, and every decision he faced began to rise, each step forward now fraught with unseen challenges.

As Mobius was sorting through all the data on the Herrscher of Sound, she suddenly heard Bronya's calm voice break the silence.
"New Herrscher is on the way," AI Bronya announced.
Mobius looked up sharply, her eyes narrowing as she scanned the data. "Where is it?"
"Eastern nation of Sakaku," Bronya replied.
The map of the region lit up, pulsing with ominous red dots that indicated the spread of Honkai energy.
Kevin's brow furrowed as he processed the information. "What happened now? Kevin then heard Bronya's talk.
I should be prepared to consider that this is Honkai GGZ." Kevin thought.
Realizing the potential danger, Kevin made a swift decision. "Evacuate civilians. We don't know what this Herrscher can do, but it's better to evacuate the city in case something happens."
Kevin knew the Herrscher of Death had the ability to use her mist to kill millions instantly. As this grim thought crossed his mind, he made up his mind.
It was decided that only Kevin would go to face this threat and others will provide support from distance using missiles and artillery.
Before his departure, Elysia approached him with a warm, encouraging smile.
She leaned in and gave him an encouraging kiss. "Take care of yourself, okay?" she said softly, her eyes showing concern.
Kevin nodded. "I will."

Kevin stood on the edge of the ruined city, his eyes scanning the desolate landscape.
The wind howled through the empty streets, carrying with it a palpable sense of foreboding.
"This is different," Kevin thought, as he stood there.
In the MOTH control center's main screen. The data streams flickered with alarming speed, showing erratic spikes in Honkai energy.
"Kevin," Mei's voice crackled through the comms, "the Honkai energy readings are escalating faster than expected. There's something...wrong about this."
Kevin frowned, feeling the weight of unseen forces pressing down on him. "I've dealt with Herrschers before, but this...this feels different. As if something is amplifying their power."
This place had been a bustling city once. Now there is not a single soul left in sight. Kevin said through earphone.
Bronya's voice crackled through his earpiece, the AI's tone as analytical as ever. "It's likely that the Herrscher of Death is responsible for the mass extinction."
A herrscher with the ability to kill millions instantly... This is bad." Mei worry voice come.
"I've detected another presence," Mobius's voice interrupted, her tone urgent. "There's a second Herrscher. I'm sure of it."
Kevin's heart sank. "Two Herrschers? The future is shifting. Its doesn't match any of game sequence." Kevin thought.
Bronya brought up a screen, displaying live footage of the carnage.
One Herrscher had unleashed a deadly mist, disintegrating people on a molecular level, while the other wielded weapons made of blood dismantling everyone with ease.
"This mist is breaking down molecular bonds," Bronya observed. "It's a highly dangerous ability."
Mei's voice trembled slightly, a rare moment of vulnerability. "Kevin, if you're exposed to that mist, even you might not make it out alive."
Kevin's eyes narrowed with determination. "I'll be fine, Mei. I've dealt with worse. I'll use the Divine Key to take down the mist Herrscher from a distance."
"It's the best option," Mobius agreed, though her usual confidence was tinged with concern.
Kevin arrived at the location where the Herrscher of Death had last been detected.
The city was in ruins, buildings reduced to rubble, and even the Honkai beasts were nowhere to be seen. In the midst of the devastation stood a lone girl with short, dark blue hair. Her smile was twisted, her eyes gleaming with madness.
"A human," she sneered, her voice dripping with malice. "I wondered why there were no humans here when I awakened... But at least, there's still one left to kill." Her laughter echoed through the empty streets, sending a chill down Kevin's spine.
Kevin's eyes hardened as he prepared himself for the fight. "Her awakening just killed everyone in the city. This is going to be tough."
A notification from his system flashed before his eyes:
**Objective: Defeat the Herrscher of Death.**
**Reward:
Authority of Death.
50k System Points.
Kevin Template - 3%.**
The Herrscher of Death wasted no time. She launched a black projectile toward Kevin, but he was quicker, using his ice abilities to freeze the attack mid-air. The projectile shattered into a million pieces, scattering harmlessly to the ground.
She responded by covering the entire area with a sheet of black mist. Kevin recognized the danger immediately. "This mist... It's deadly."
With a quick decision, he unleashed a barrage of fire, scattering the mist and destroying it.
The explosive force of the attack leveled what little remained of the buildings around them, but the Herrscher was unfazed.
She laughed maniacally as Kevin's ice lances impaled her, but to his shock, they disintegrated as soon as they touched her.
"Heh, such a predictable move," she taunted, her wounds regenerating at an alarming rate.
"Her regeneration... it's absurd," Kevin thought, his mind racing for a solution. "I'll have to change tactics."
The Herrscher's smile widened as she conjured lances from black mist, mimicking Kevin's attacks. "You're not the only one who can play with lances," she jeered, hurling them at Kevin.
Kevin teleported away using his Void Authority, reappearing behind her. He delivered a powerful kick that sent her crashing into a building, the impact shaking the ground.
"You did something..." the Herrscher muttered, noticing a delay in her healing. "What did you do?
Kevin used power absorption and utilize thermal reduction on her.
"Cellular deconstruction," Kevin thought of her ability.
"Your mist might be deadly, but I can break down it just as easily." Kevin cold voice resonated.
He charged forward, his katana crackling with lightning.
In a blur of motion, he slashed through the Herrscher, cutting her in half. For a moment, it seemed like the fight was over, but the mist that poured out of her body quickly reformed, and she stood before him once more, completely healed.
"No matter how much damage I do, she heals everything," Kevin realized, frustration creeping into his thoughts.
The Herrscher shivered slightly, her eyes narrowing. "I'm feeling cold... You worm!" she screamed, unleashing a massive wave of mist that covered the entire town.
Kevin reacted instantly, flaring his katana and unleashing a massive lightning strike that obliterated the mist in a brilliant flash of light. The Herrscher was caught in the blast, her body charred black, but she continued to fight, her screams of pain mixed with manic laughter.
"This pain... Haha, I like it! Let's do it again!"
The battle raged on for hours, both fighters pushing each other to the limit. Kevin's ability to reduce the thermal energy of his targets gave him an edge, slowly wearing the Herrscher down. But her relentless regeneration and deadly mist made every moment a struggle.
Finally, Kevin decided to end it. He combined the power of ice and fire using his Authority of Fusion, creating a brilliant arrow of white and red light. He aimed carefully, then released the arrow, watching as it soared through the air and struck the Herrscher.
A blinding explosion of fire and ice enveloped the Herrscher, freezing her in place. Her body was encased in a massive ice sculpture, her screams silenced as the frost overtook her. Kevin approached the frozen statue, his breath heavy, and with one final punch, he shattered the Herrscher into a thousand pieces, ending the battle once and for all.
As the last shards of ice fell to the ground, Kevin stood amidst the ruins, his body battered and bruised. But despite the pain, he allowed himself a moment of satisfaction.
"Finally..." he thought, the exhaustion finally catching up to him but Kevin doesn't have any time to rest. There is one more herrscher left to dealt with.
