Superman Termination Manual-Chapter 602 - 285: Then Let’s Destroy This World Together_3
“He’s lying.”
“Why am I lying? I was serious about it. If you don’t believe it, forget it.”
“Because I know my brother is so dumb, he’s foolish, obviously short-tempered, yet kinder than anyone else. How could he possibly do anything bad…” she said, “So, when the time comes… a person like you will be on the opposite side of me, am I wrong?”
Ke Mingye was stunned for a moment.
“I won’t.” He shook his head, silent for a while, “What about you…”
As he spoke, he bent down slightly, looking over the bright streets below, watching those happy people.
“If one day I truly go mad, and start killing everyone I see, regardless of whether they’re good or bad, and by the time I come to my senses, I’ve killed a lot, a lot of innocent people, unwittingly becoming a greater villain than you can imagine, hated by the entire world, family, friends, everyone associated with me turned against me, their hatred for me bone deep…”
Ke Mingye’s gaze dropped, his voice growing softer, “At that time… would you still stand by my side?”
Upon hearing this, the girl was silent for a long time. She sniffled and mimicked his tone, in a stuffy voice, said:
“I would go mad with you.”
Hearing this, Ke Mingye was slightly surprised, and then silently smiled.
He rarely smiled like this. It seemed even such a smile appeared incongruous on the face of such a careless person. In truth, he didn’t know whether he was laughing at himself or the naive imitation of the girl beside him.
But he was very happy…
Genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.
It felt as though the pain and struggle he had endured in less than half a year had been scattered by a sudden gust of wind, lost in the falling snow on this warm night.
So this time, Ke Mingye asked her the same question.
“Really?”
But as his hoarse voice fell, there was no response from the girl beside him. Just when Ke Mingye felt a chill in his heart, a sudden warmth enveloped his body, chilled by the snow. The girl gently hugged him, their cheeks very close.
Ke Mingye was momentarily taken aback.
“Really.” Bai Zini said softly, “As expected of my older brother, even your way of comforting is so awkward, I don’t want you to turn into a great villain… Absolutely not.”
Ke Mingye gently wrapped his arms around her back, he exhaled softly and his mouth curved upwards.
“Then I won’t let you turn into a witch either.”
On the snowy night of October 25, 2028, on the rooftop, the boy and girl made a crude and naive promise to each other.
Like two young animals driven into a tight corner by the world, licking each other’s fur for warmth.
…
…
Half an hour later, though the night was already deep, Ke Mingye still couldn’t fall asleep.
He lay in bed, his right arm propped under his head, staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, then he opened the system ranking panel.
A crystalline blue panel appeared out of the darkness.
According to the system’s standards, the reason why the danger rating of a Superhuman shows as “A+ level” and not “S level” is actually based on certain criteria.
In the introduction, it reads:
“A+ level” represents that — the attribute standard has already surpassed the upper limit of A level, but the overall performance (mechanisms, abilities, and other elements) hasn’t yet met the standard of the next level.
“A++ level” on the other hand represents that — the attribute standard has “greatly surpassed” the upper limit of A level, but the overall performance (mechanisms, abilities, and other elements) hasn’t yet met the standard of the next level.
And below this, the same goes for “B+ level”, “C+ level,” and so on.
In other words, among the trio of magical girls, Xizi Yue, Lilai, Udina… the tri-dimensional attributes of theirs have most likely far exceeded the 400-point upper limit of A level; it’s just that their overall performance hasn’t reached the domain of S level.
As for going higher up to S level, or S+ level, S++ level, and even Question Mark Level attributes, Ke Mingye doesn’t even dare to think about that; otherwise, the mission of the “Extinction of Superhumans” would seem incredibly tenuous, akin to blindly reaching out in the darkness without catching a single lifeline.
But looking at the bright side, on October 31st, on the night of witches, after unlocking the “Chosen One,” Ke Mingye’s All Attributes will double for one hour… meaning, Red Hat’s Spiritual Attribute would temporarily jump from 220 to 440, effectively shattering the upper limit of A level, and subsequently, the total Magic Power would also double.
This sounds optimistic, doesn’t it seem like, for a brief moment, one would possess the power of an A+ level magical girl?
But according to Xizi Yue, the total Magic Power isn’t equivalent to a magical girl’s strength, even far from it — similar to the ‘internal energy’ often mentioned in martial arts novels, no matter how profound your energy is, you also need the appropriate skills to refine and release it to be useful.
And only through day-by-day, month-by-month practice, can one manage to raise the threshold for the release of Magic Power.
Xizi Yue is a one-in-a-million genius.
She has mentioned that after merely two years of training, her threshold for releasing Magic Power has already maintained at about 80% to 100%, meaning on a normal basis, she could release 80% to 100% of her total Magic Power.
And Ke Mingye, lacking training and such terrifying talent.
As such, the threshold for Red Hat to release Magic Power could naturally not compare, at best around 40% to 50%, which is a rather mediocre threshold.
But with the terrifying total Magic Power brought about by the doubling of Spiritual Attribute on the “Chosen Day,” even with just the minimum release threshold of 40%, it’s enough to unleash the power of a B level magical girl.
Ke Mingye wasn’t too demanding about it; it would be sufficient for Red Hat to exhibit the performance of a B level magical girl in actual combat. With this level of combat power, one would have at least a token of admission, not just to watch from the sidelines, unable to intervene.
And he himself, as well as the weird thing, would appear as auxiliary characters in this war, who could also use the power from Divine Communication if the situation demands.
“But… whether we’ll win or not, it’s only a matter of time before Bai Zini turns into a witch… Forget it, don’t think too much, let’s first repel the group of witches, and in the following six months, work with Xizi Yue and the others to find a way to turn Bai Zini back to a human, otherwise once the Qiyamate Comet can’t retract her powers, then…”
Ke Mingye thought this far, with a slight sense of disorientation. He exhaled deeply, lifted his arm to rest on his forehead, and murmured to himself in the darkness.

“I’ve promised… others may die, but she must not. But how do I do it?”
His complexion was pale, and his thoughts increasingly scattered.
Because Xizi Yue hid two trump cards in Bai Zini’s magic book, and moreover, this is inside Bai Ke’s home, guarded by a Question Mark Level character, the mother; even if a group of witches launched a surprise attack, Ke Mingye was not worried about any mishap.
Hence, he stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.
The rest of the night remained silent.
When Ke Mingye woke up, he looked at the old clock, and the hour hand was unexpectedly pointing to 10 am, which surprised him — ever since Red Hat’s personality could swap the Doll on her own, he lost the habit of waking up in the middle of the night. Maybe because his brain was too fatigued this time, not even the alarm clock by the window could wake him, and when he woke up, it was already nearly noon.
Furthermore, not long after waking up, Ke Mingye heard a piece of news that left him stunned for a long time —
According to what Bai Wenna said, in the early hours of the morning on October 26th.
Two people disappeared from Bai Ke’s home.
The first person was Ke Youqing;
The other person, was Bai Zini.
