Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 175

Upon hearing the voice, Kevin turned around and saw his basketball team captain smiling and giving him a thumbs up.

"After all, you're our ace!"

"oh oh!"

Kevin remembered.

This is the venue for the national competition.

I and my teammates on the basketball team worked hard for a whole year to finally get here.

This is the last match of the national competition, the final.

Then their score was the same as the opposing team's, and time was up.

So, whichever side scores the next goal wins.

This was undoubtedly the most important goal!

Thinking of this, Kevin patted his face to clear his head—he absolutely could not allow himself to make a mistake on this ball!

A sense of responsibility welled up inside Kevin, and he went to his position. With the whistle and the serve, the final point began.

Logically speaking, if the score has reached this point, then their skill levels should be roughly the same.

Moreover, the game was almost over, and both sides should have reached their physical limits. Anyone could make a mistake, and opportunities or mistakes could occur at any time.

Therefore, this shot must have been very difficult to score.

but...

Upon seeing the other person approaching, Kevin felt that their movements were incredibly slow...

He easily raised his hand and intercepted the ball with minimal movement, then rushed out.

He could tell that the other party was doing everything they could to stop him, but... there were too many flaws!

Was it because you exhausted too much physical strength?

With that in mind, Kevin single-handedly dribbled past five defenders, and after seizing the opportunity, he jumped with the ball right at the free-throw line!

He remembered that he had never jumped from this position before, but he didn't know why, he always felt that he could do it.

And so it is.

Even when he jumped from here, Kevin still landed precisely in front of the basket.

Two opposing players jumped up in front of him, their hands landing on the ball in Kevin's hands. But Kevin exerted a little force at that moment, and he dunked the ball into the basket, overpowering both of them!

The last ball went in!

Kevin was hanging in mid-air, one hand gripping the rim, while the two players who had jumped up to stop him were now sitting on the ground, staring at him in disbelief, completely enveloped by his shadow.

Not only those two, but everyone else was also surprised that Kevin would make such a shot.

But after a brief silence, the warm lights on the court seemed to ignite, and cheers erupted like a tidal wave. Yet, amidst this immense and noisy cacophony, Kevin felt an unparalleled tranquility.

He let go of the basket, and his teammates came to his side, chanting his name and cheering.

At that moment, he was like a hero.

but....

He felt at that moment as if he were standing on an empty stage, acting out a clown's script all by himself...

Kevin shook his head, seemingly trying to shake off the thoughts in his mind, and enjoyed the atmosphere with his teammates.

Yes, they won. All their hard work over the past year has paid off. He is the ace, and he is the hero!

The moment he thought of the hero, a figure with dark green hair and poor speech flashed through his mind.

he is...

Kevin had never seen this person before.

But when Kevin thought of that person's face, a name subconsciously popped into his mind.

"Ko...Kosmo...!"

As he uttered the name, the world around him seemed to be set ablaze, disappearing rapidly in the flames, and Kevin felt his mind clear up a bit at that moment.

yes...

He's an ace, he's a hero, he's the captain... so he absolutely cannot stop here!

Kevin watched the images flash by, time flowing swiftly through them, and every scene depicted the life he truly desired.

As long as he stops resisting and pretends to be confused, he can live forever in the world that is most beautiful to him.

But he refused.

He rejected the happiest world.

He chose what was probably the path that would cause him the most pain.

He's awake!

Black feathers fell like raindrops. Kevin got up from the ground, looked at his fallen teammates, and gripped his weapon tightly.

"Was it attacked...?"

After getting back to his feet, Kevin first made arrangements for his teammates. Then, when he realized he couldn't wake them up, he started searching for the others in the Firemoth's base.

But it's too quiet here.

Everyone else except him had fainted...

Then he picked up his phone and found that the signal was completely blocked, and he couldn't even send a message.

Upon seeing this, Kevin hesitated for a moment, then unlocked the password, retrieved the will he had written long ago, and after the screen went dark, he put his phone and his teammates together and left alone.

Although not a single Honkai Beast could be seen besides the black feathers, that didn't mean Kevin couldn't find the enemy's location.

He arrived at the Firemoth's security area and reviewed the surveillance footage of the entire Firemoth headquarters before determining the location of the black feathers.

He eventually discovered that the black feathers had fallen from a considerable height in the sky, rather than being projected from somewhere.

So he climbed to the highest point of the Fire Moth and looked up at the sky above.

The thick clouds made the light appear hazy, and Kevin couldn't see any enemies below the clouds—but he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

The headquarters of the Fire Moth is heavily fortified with firepower.

As the captain of the most elite squad of the Firemoth, Kevin was quite familiar with these things. So, he calculated the position and then aimed the huge electromagnetic cannon at the top of the Firemoth at the sky and charged it.

At that moment, the black feathers instantly converged, transforming from a drifting mass into a single, pointed attack, becoming the sharpest blades that pierced directly at the electromagnetic cannon!

Asking for flowers

After Kevin narrowly avoided the attack, he saw the thick clouds that had gathered there above him begin to churn, and a huge hole appeared in the clouds.

Then countless Honkai Beasts fell from it, landing directly in front of Kevin, like a white wall reaching straight to the sky.

This number far exceeds what one person can handle. Even if Kevin led his entire team to deal with so many Honkai Beasts, they might be wiped out!

And this number of Honkai Beasts is just the vanguard.

After these Honkai Beasts blocked Kevin, Desdovia's figure also descended from the clouds and finally stopped above the Fire Moth.

She is now completely different from who she was before.

A black feather robe draped over her body, and her long golden hair, tied in a single ponytail, now flowed freely and wildly, making her look like a completely different person.

And her eyes, which used to look down at Kevin, were no longer the same. They were now completely covered by two emblems that looked like they were aiming at a target, or like crosses!

She is no longer Daisy Dobby.

She is undoubtedly the Eighth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Knowledge!

Kevin looked at the enemy before him.

He was so insignificant in the face of these enemies; he couldn't even handle those Honkai Beasts, let alone a Herrscher on the other side.

But Kevin still did not put down his weapon.

At this moment, he is not a powerful fusion warrior.

He is not the only hero in the world at this moment.

Just like my boss said, even if the Herrschers escape, Anti-Entropy will handle it, and handle it very well.

but...

Even without the responsibility of saving the world, he still raised his weapon to the sky!

Seeing him like this, the Herrscher of Consciousness, floating in mid-air, spoke up.

"Wouldn't it be better to die quietly, lost in a beautiful dream?"

Kevin smiled when he heard her voice.

"The only thing that made me hesitate before was that even though you've changed, you're still Desdovia, a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside us for so long... But now I won't hesitate anymore."

Kevin wasn't a very eloquent person; he simply pointed his gun at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

“If it’s Desdobia, she knows that Kosmo and many other team members joined the combat unit because of me. They trust me from the bottom of their hearts. I may not be a trustworthy person, but... I will do my best to protect their dreams! So even if I’m all alone, I will fight to the end as a hero!”

Upon hearing Kevin's words, the Herrscher of Knowledge fell silent.
