(Wiz and Boomstick - Official Death Battle Theme Song)

https://youtu.be/mDBJXniDI9c

Adam: Master Xehanort, the true leader of Organization XIII and Keyblade Master who seeks to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts.

Shadow: And Kevin Kaslana, Sire of the World Serpent and Honkai Impact 3rd's Hero of the Previous Era.

Vanessa: Not all villains that seek to bring darkness or destruction to the universe are done out of revenge or to stake their claims. Sometimes it's done because they believe it will bring balance and hope, believing their ends justify their means. That being said, not everyone will agree with their methods.

Shadow: And you know you've got the means when the heroes resort to use the power of friendship just best you in combat. He's Adam, that's Vanessa and I'm Shadow.

Adam: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win..... a DEATH BATTLE.

Master Xehanort Seeks Darkness in DEATH BATTLE

(Forza Finale - Yoko Shimomura)

https://youtu.be/2Tu2E_fuABE

Vanessa: Long ago, an epic war was fought. Everyone sought the power of Kingdom Hearts. But the battle was so intense that the darkness ultimately prevailed, and the light expired. The world as we knew it was lost. While the light in children's hearts did bring things back to normal, what was once just a single world had now fractured into multiple, one of each your favourite Disney movies!

Adam: The Keyblade War became the stuff of legend, its tale told for generations. One day, the ancient battle would entice the curiosity of a Keyblade wielder named Xehanort. Unlike his peers, Xehanort did not see the world as so black and white. Darkness had long been considered evil and unnecessary, not while everyone lives in a world of light. In fact, light and darkness were completely out of balance, which Xehanort didn't approve of.

Shadow: Xehanort did what no one would even dare to do, and actively embraced his darkness, proving that everyone's fear of it was misplaced. From there, Xehanort knew the only way he could correct this error was to summon Kingdom Hearts. And so Xehanort became a Kingdom Hearts lore expert, learning everything he could. The Keyblade War, the X-blade, Kingdom Hearts, all of it.

Adam: By his elderly years, Xehanort had a wealth of knowledge on the subject, and put his ambitions into motion. Though not through his decades of experience or mastery of Keyblade abilities, but his sheer cunning. Xehanort manipulated the students of his closest friend, Eraqus, into ensuring his plans would succeed. And he almost won it all on his very first attempt but was soundly defeated by a variable he hadn't accounted for.

Vanessa: But it merely delayed Xehanort's ambitions. For a time, he split himself into Ansem and Xemnas. But once those two got defeated, Xehanort was back. Now it was inevitable that Xehanort would orchestrate the Second Keyblade War.

Master Xehanort

Superhuman strength, speed, durability and reflexes

Expert swordsmanship

Master manipulator

Power of Waking

Telekinesis

Portal Creation

Pseudo Black Hole Creation

Spatial Manipulation

Body stealing (in the form of possessing one's Heart)

Armored Xehanort form

No Name

X-Blade

True Kingdom Hearts

Blizzaga

Dark Firaga

Dark Thundaga

Quake

Stopza

Scala ad Caelum

Shadow: Don't let Xehanort's old age fool you. He's easily one of the strongest Keyblade users there is using those years. His Keyblade, called No Name or Gazing Eye, allows Xehanort to use Fire, Earth, Thunder and Ice-based magic spells but he's also learned a ton of magic spells himself, using telekinesis to summon more Keyblades, create pseudo black holes, and even possess your body, specifically your "Heart". He can even use Stopza, a time spell so powerful, it can even immobile targets from a large distance.

Popup: Every Keyblade has the power to seal or unlock Hearts to prevent the Heartless from entering or escaping. Xehanort even used it to separate his own Heart to possess Terra, becoming Terra-Xehanort.

Vanessa: Xehanort is also extremely cunning. He's responsible for the many events that happened in Kingdom Hearts and on the occasions his deceitful schemes do fail, he's got a back up for it. As Terra-Xehanort, he created more vessels with amounts to 13, hence their group name Organization XIII. That includes his Heartless Ansem the Dark Seeker, his Nobody Xemnas who was originally the leader before Xehanort returned and Young Xehanort who is literally his younger self. Okay, I don't even play Kingdom Hearts and I'm having an aneurysm from how complicated this series.

Shadow: You're not the only one. Xehanort also has his armor which makes him look like a demon goat and can clone 12 Replicas of himself. And within his Scala ad Caelum, he can control the town to his will, bending space and time. And with the Power of Waking, Xehanort can travel to other worlds or go into other people's Hearts.

Adam: However, in near the climax of Kingdom Hearts III, Xehanort has gained two powerful weapons to achieve his goal: the X-Blade and the true Kingdom Hearts. While an artificial one was destroyed in Birth By Sleep, it was forged during the clash between the Organization XIII, aka the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness and the Seven Guardians of light. Xehanort used it to open the true Kingdom Hearts.

Shadow: It's one of the most sought after powers as it contains the infinite power and wisdom and energy source that draws power from every world in Kingdom hearts. Xehanort intends use it to plunge everything to darkness in the hopes restarting the world again.

Feats

Manipulated Terra into letting darkness into his heart

Defeated Terra and transferred his own heart into Terra's body, becoming Terra-Xehanort

Divided his heart among two other people, namely Braig and Isa

Overthrew Ansem the Wise and stole his name

Used his Keyblade to divide not only himself but at least five other people into Heartless and Nobodies

Gained the absolute loyalty and admiration of Maleficent

Sent his Heartless self, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness back in time to grant the power of time travel to his 16-year-old self (Young Xehanort)

Successfully summoned Kingdom Hearts

Xehanort's Stopza overpowered King Mickey's Ultimate spell

Shadow: Xehanort is without a doubt one of the most powerful villains in Kingdom Hearts. He formed the real Organization XIII, all of them bearing his heart, making it impossible for his plans to fail. He manipulated Terra into succumbing to his darkness which allowed Xehanort to transfer his Heart into Terra, becoming Terra-Xehanort. His Stopza was so strong it not only countered Mickey's Ultima attack, but also reached a huge area that it also affected Riku who was sent flying not long after. He also managed to recreate the X-Blade and used it to unlock Kingdom Hearts, though not before killing Kairi in front of Sora to do so.

Vanessa: And since Xehanort's the biggest baddies, he'd be way stronger than the likes of Maleficent, Hades and even the solar system busting Sephiroth, yes, there's Final Fantasy characters there too. And he's matched a lot of other Keyblade users too like Mickey, Sora and many more. Mickey's comparable to Zeus to who can move stars, a feat worth 4.22 Foe and Roxas' Heart travelled from the Radiant Garden to the Keyblade Graveyard in 4.76 seconds, putting him at 168 million times FTL.

Popup: Aqua spent 10 years wandering aimlessly in the Realm of Darkness, a parallel to the Realm of Light. Both of them make up the infinite fifth dimensional Ocean Between, thus putting Aqua at infinite speed.

Adam: Xehanort can compete with Sora who's battled 1000 Heartless and bested his Organization XIII which includes Ansem and Xemnas, the latter who was amped up by a false Kingdom Hearts. Yet with the true Kingdom Hearts, Xehanort can reshape the entire multiverse. Riku and Joshua stated in Dream Drop Distance that every "world" in Kingdom Hearts have their own flow of time, meaning that they're actually entirely separate universes. Heck, in Birth By Sleep, entry of the Grand Councilwoman of the United Galactic Federation states that they "oversee the universe" in Deep Space, yet they didn't get involved with Terra, Aqua and Ventus eradicating the Unversed despite the fact they have intergalactic travel, further supporting the theory of every world being a universe.

Weaknesses

Cocky and arrogant

Limited magic

Defeated by Lingering Will even after taking Terra's body. Even then, Xehanort was met with resistance taking over Terra

Relies on cunning and magic rather than physical power

Old age

Has a habit of betraying his allies

Ultimately defeated by Sora, Donald and Goofy

When time travelling, Xehanort must discord his body

Amnesiac after the X-Blade was destroyed

Vanessa: But not all hope is lost. Even with all his schemes, the X-Blade and Kingdom Hearts, Xehanort isn't invincible. His old age made him rely on his magical power and cunning to achieve his goal. He had temporary amnesia when the X-Blade was destroyed and while Xehanort can time travel, he must give up his body in order to do so.

Shadow: He also had a habit of betraying his allies, not that they stopped from succeeding though. And despite having both the X-Blade and Kingdom Hearts, Xehanort would be defeated by the power of friendship at the hands of Sora, Donald and Goofy.

Adam: But he's far from irredeemable. After being confronted by Eraqus, who's hidden in Terra all this time, Xehanort finally accepted his defeat. Handing over the χ-blade to Sora, who finally closed Kingdom Hearts and brought an end to the Second Keyblade War. With his closest friend there beside him, Xehanort departed for the afterlife.

Shadow: But though Xehanort was no more, his impact on everything was impossible to forget. Perhaps ironically, some of the strongest friendships in all of Kingdom Hearts wouldn't have been possible if not for Xehanort. While Xehanort's life is one almost wholly defined by darkness, in the end, there was one bright spot that prevailed through it all.

Xehanort: A purge. The World will be returned whence it started. The World began in darkness. And from that darkness came light. From the light came the people, and the people had hearts. Evil burgeoned in those hearts, begetting more darkness. And that darkness spread across the World like a plague. The light, the symbol of the World's hope, was devoured by shadow. Leaving nothing but ruin..... an utter failure. But, the first light, the light of Kingdom Hearts, it can give us a new start. An empty World, pure and bright.

Kevin Kaslana Project STIGMAs DEATH BATTLE

(Kevin Kaslana - Yirui Liu)

https://youtu.be/r1vXCUbSTHg

Adam: Kiana Kaslana. Raiden Mei. Himeko Murata. You've seen what they're capable of when we introduced them here in DEATH BATTLE and they're one of the strongest Valkyries the Honkaiverse has to offer in the Current Era. But today we're taking a look at one of the strongest and oldest people in the Previous Era, over 50,000 years ago. His name his Kevin Kaslana. Kevin had transferred to a new school 3 months ago. He quickly became popular due to his athleticism and looks. Many girls found him attractive, and thus called him the "Prince". But instead of paying attention to his admirers, his sights were set on another girl, MEI.

Shadow: She wasn't interested in love, but that didn't dissuade Kevin. He would constantly try to get her attention: pulling little pranks on her and talking to her about her scientific discoveries. He eventually made an impression on her. It's also worth noting that another member of Fire MOTH, Su, was Kevin's best friend back then. When the 3rd Eruption hit Nagazora, Kevin tried to lead MEI to safety. They were stopped by a MOTH agent, who said he was tasked with protecting MEI, as her research was of great interest. They invited MEI to join. Kevin, refusing to part with MEI, joined MOTH as a soldier.

Vanessa: 3 years later, Kevin defeated the 6th Herrscher. But the 7th Herrscher, a former comrade by the name of HIMEKO, was much harder to defeat than the last. MEI and Mobius came up with the idea of MANTIS to fight her. Kevin volunteered to be one of the first test subjects, and was injected with Parvati genes to counter the flames. He survived despite all odds. Kevin led the MOTH soldiers and defeated the 7th Herrscher, using his new ice powers to impale her. However, as a consequence, the MANTIS treatment had lowered his body temperature to -22 degrees Fahrenheit, which meant he could no longer be too close to humans. This also meant he couldn't hold MEI in his arms, she would get hurt if he tried.

Shadow: As a MANTIS, Kevin became one of the most powerful soldiers in history. His subzero body temperature meant he was able to unleash the full might of Shamash without dying. Due to this, he single-handedly defeated the 9th and 11th Herrschers. But humanity wasn't prepared for the 12th Herrscher. Despite their best efforts, the 12th Herrscher launched their own nukes at the 3 last cities humanity had left. Kevin blamed himself for not thinking to defend the computers. Kevin and Fu Hua talked for a bit outside of the cell that used to contain the Herrscher's host. Kevin tells her that he never cared about humanity nor about Honkai. He says he joined MOTH for selfish reasons, and that he couldn't bear to tell MEI that. He muttered that he's the most terrible person to have ever lived, and everything is his fault. But, with a change of tone, he announces that he won't give up. "Humanity will live."

Adam: During the fight with the Final Herrscher, Kevin managed to stun it for 12 hours, which gave people time to evacuate to the cryogenic pods. When Kevin returned to Earth, he found MEI dead, a victim of Honkai poisoning. However, MEI had created a "test tube baby" using Kevin and MEI's genetic materials. Kevin named him Adam, after the first man on earth. With tears in his eyes, he vowed to defeat the Honkai, no matter the cost. His last words to Fu Hua before cryogenic sleep was, "Humanity shall defeat the Honkai".

Shadow: At some point after waking up, he travelled with Su to see the births of new civilizations. This included Egypt and Greece. After a while, Kevin decided that he must begin work on Project STIGMA. See, civilization and Honkai go hand in hand, the more a civilization resists, the more focused and stronger the Honkai becomes, even going as far as to send Herrschers. Project STIGMA plans to exposed people that have inactive Stigmatas to Honkai energy to forcefully awaken their Stigmatas, therefore becoming part of the Honkai and preventing them and the Herrscher of the End from appearing, theoretically putting an end to them.

Vanessa: Huh, that doesn't seem so ba-

Adam: The problem, however, is that not everyone can survive even possessing an active Stigmata, let alone trying to force an inactive one. As a result, 99% of humanity will die as a result. His best friend Su didn't like that and after a battle, sent Kevin down to the Sea of Quanta via Project Regulator. But Kevin escaped the Sea after Bronya dived into the Sea of Quanta to rescue Seele and resumed his plans to continue Project STIGMA.

Active Honkai Reaction

Signets of Deliverance

Parvati: Kevin's initial gene donor, which granted him the ability to create and control ice to counter the flames of the Herrscher of Fire.

Tlaloc: One of the gene donors for the testing phase of Project CHIMERA.

Couatl: A Honkai Beast from the Sea of Quanta.

Kukulkan: A giant serpentine Honkai Beast adapted to the Sea of Quanta, which was Kevin's preferred form during his imprisonment, and was thus the source of his nickname "The Serpent" prior to being revealed as the leader of World Serpent.

Mexicatl: A Honkai Beast split among a number of Quantum Shadows each named after a deadly sin, all of which are connected to a single Umbreist core.

Garuda: A phoenix-like Honkai Beast that was also the primary donor for Hua. It grants control over flames and an extremely powerful regeneration ability. One of Kevin's more powerful donors, as Hua using Active Honkai Reaction was able to force Kevin himself into also using Active Honkai Reaction to defeat her.

Judgement of Shamash

Might of An-Utu

Diabolical Kevin

This Worldly Beast

Deliverance Kevin

Vanessa: Thanks to the MANTIS surgery, Kevin has developed numerous abilities from several Honkai Beasts. First is Parvati, who controls ice and Kevin's main elemental weapon, which was strong enough to contend with the Herrscher of Fire's flames, but he also has Garuda which controls fire too and Kukulkan, which is a giant serpent he can turn into after being imprisoned. But he's not without a weapon, his most used is Judgement of Shamash, a Divine Key made with the Core of the Flame Herrscher. And its upgraded form Might of An-Utu, is way more powerful.

Shadow: Kevin can also tap into his Active Honkai Reaction form, which allows MANTIS soldiers to transform into a chimera of multiple Honkai beasts thanks to the genes in them via Project Chimera. In Kevin's case he turns into his Diabolical form which resembles an abyssal demon, having black colors, horns and all that. But that's not all. He also has the Signets of Deliverance and Discipline. Deliverance increases one's Ultimate and is equipped with two long weapon handles that float around him and that can manifest either blades or bolas and Discipline gives an order that can't be refused, though Kevin had to trade his ability to dream to gain Aponia's Signet of Discipline.

Adam: However, near the climax of Part 1's story, Kevin has gained the Authority of Finality. The Authority of Finality grants him the powers over all things Honkai and the abilities of other Herrschers. This ranges from the being able to create objects that Kevin can think of, complete control over space-time and to reset everything. He shouldered it bit by bit until he gained complete mastery over it. But wait, there's more. After absorbing Projects STIGMA, CHIMERA and the Authority of Finality, Kevin transforms into This Worldly Beast and Deliverance Kevin.

Shadow: This Worldly Beast is a crystallization of Earth's history and the Chimera of the hundred-over Honkai Beasts that compose Kevin's MANTIS genes. Each of its arms holds a form of core that represents an era, from the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic, and the Cenozoic. And Deliverance Kevin is just his AHR form in steroids and with the Authority of Finality to boot.

Feats

The strongest soldier of MANTIS in the Previous Era

Escaped the Sea of Quanta

Stripped Bronya Zaychik of her Herrscher powers

Killed the 6th, 7th, 9th and 11th Herrschers of the Previous Era

Killed 3 Herrschers without a Divine Key. Divine Keys are Previous Era weapons made out of Herrscher Cores

Resisted Abyss Flower, which is made from the Herrscher of Death's Core

Matched Durandal to a draw in base form

Durandal struggled against ELF Kevin, who only possessed 1% of Kevin's powers

Defeated Su, Fu Hua and Herrscher of Sentience

Bested Herrscher of Flamescion Kiana, Herrscher of Thunder Mei and Herrscher of Reason Bronya simultaneously

Held his own against Herrscher of Finality Kiana, Herrscher of Origin Mei and Herrscher of Truth Bronya

Battled the Previous Era Final Herrscher for 12 hours

Superior to the other Thirteen Flame-Chasers

Capable of moving inside Kiana's Time Fracture as Deliverance Kevin, which was capable of freezing his other forms

Immune to Fenghuang Down's powers

After possessing the Authority of Finality, Deliverance Kevin has surpassed even the Herrscher of Finality in the Previous Era

Reunited with MEI and the other Thirteen Flame-Chasers in the afterlife

Shadow: Kevin has shown why he's both the most powerful hero and the deadliest villain in Honkai Impact 3rd's history. He's killed 3 Herrschers without a Divine Key, has escaped the Sea of Quanta and managed to stun the Previous Era's Herrscher of Finality for 12 hours before being forced to retreat. He once took Bronya's Herrscher powers away and managed to stalemate Durandal, Schicksal's strongest S-Rank Valkyrie, in his base form before Otto stopped them. And thanks to the Signet of Discipline, Kevin is rendered immune to the effects of Fenghuang Down, which can mess with a person's mind and giving them false realities and requires great effort to be able to even detect its illusions, let alone try to break out.

Popup: Sirin, who had the power of 4 Gems and capable of tanking supernovas and creating entire solar systems, was able to see through Fenghuang Down's illusions but was unable to break out on her own without the Will of the Honkai's aid.

Adam: Kevin is also able to match his former Flame-Chasers allies Su and Fu Hua and bested the Herrscher of Sentience. In their first battle, Kevin overpowered Herrscher of Flamescion Kiana Kaslana, Herrscher of Thunder Raiden Mei and Herrscher of Reason Bronya Zaychik all at once with little effort. Hell, even after the trio gets some serious upgrades by becoming the Herrschers of Finality, Origin and Truth respectively, Kevin was still holding his own for a long time before being overwhelmed and Kiana was chosen by the Cocoon of Finality to become the current Finality Herrscher. Meaning he's definitely comparable to the Current Era Herrschers.

Vanessa: And let me tell you, Herrschers are no fucking joke! These are beings who can resistance having their souls taken or destroyed, control the fundamental forces and concepts of the universe and withstand the effects of the Imaginary Tree, an infinite multi-layered cosmological structure that exists beyond space and time and can erase normal beings out of existence. It's also the counterpart of the Sea of Quanta, an 11th dimensional area which contains infinite bubble universes. And Herrscher of Reason Bronya can travel across multiple dimensions in the Sea of Quanta which puts her at infinite speeds.

Shadow: The Star of Eden, which Welt Yang and Bronya possess, can generate 11D supergravity at low energies and works in every dimension too as well as destroy two higher-dimensional realms, in which higher-dimensions are capable of easily destroying lower-dimensional realms as if they were a book and are completely unaffected by everything coming from the latter. Kevin even tanked Abyss Flower, a Divine Key that utilizes the concept of death via the Death Herrscher's Core. And in Star Rail, Welt Yang's black holes are capable of killing the planet-busting Doomsday Beast and had gone-to-toe with Phantylia, an Emanator of Destruction with the power to wipe out galaxies. Though he admits he's no longer in his prime.

Popup: Herrscher of Human: Ego Elysia was capable of moving stars in the Land of Origin, resisted having her Elsyian Realm counterpart and the Elysian Realm itself literally being deleted by the Herrscher of Corruption and the ability to control or defy fate. She was succeeded by Herrscher of Origin Mei, who possessed the same powers as her

Vanessa: Wait Star Rail? As in Honkai: Star Rail?

Adam: Yep, Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai: Star Rail are actually in the same universe thanks to the Imaginary Tree, though admittedly Herrschers and the Honkai aren't referenced in Star Rail. Welt even admitted that Aeons are in a different league than Herrschers, so it's debatable if we can just scale Kevin to them.

Shadow: But don't underestimate non-Herrschers. Theresa Apocalypse' Oath of Judah can nullify Honkai powers at the metaphysics level and Durandal levelled 1/5th of Europe at the age of 12. And let's not forget her Dea Anchora battlesuit is composed of bubble and parallel universes which she claims was light. Guess Tony isn't the only who had an armor made out of a universe.

Vanessa: And guess what? As Deliverance Kevin, he has become so powerful that he eventually surpassed even the Previous Era's Final Herrscher. He even made a multi-layered shield so tough, it took a Deus Ex Machina to break through it. Seriously, what stops this guy?!

Weaknesses

Eventually defeated by HoFi Kiana, HoO Mei and HoTr Bronya

Defeated by Kiana in a bat duel

Can be harmed by Divine Keys

Was trapped into the Sea of Quanta by Su and was unable to break out on his own

Cynical

Honkai Carnival: My Idol Debut Comedy is Wrong, As I Expected event

Noodles (ELF Academy)

Shadow: Why none other than the power of friendship of course. Despite possessing the Authority of Finality, Kevin was ultimately bested by the combined efforts of Kiana, Mei and Bronya who gave it their all. And prior to his Deliverance form, Kevin can be harmed by Divine Keys, though you need to back it up with more.

Vanessa: And yet, despite his defeat, Kevin was happy with it. Happy that someone was willing to carry the burden on his shoulders that he carried for so long. After dueling with Kiana in within the Cocoon of Finality for one last time, he reunited with MEI and the other Thirteen Flame-Chasers in the afterlife. Now with Kiana being the true Herrscher of Finality, the Honkaiverse has a bright future ahead of it, partly due to Kevin's involvement.

Adam: Though Kevin has committed great evils to achieve his endgame, the effects are for the greater good. He lived as a human and died as a human. Kevin Kaslana truly is the Hero of the Previous Era.

Kevin: It's not a matter of choice, or of life and death. Right now, the will of all the people converge into a single wish. Step forward. This is the Signet of Deliverance. The burden of a hundred beasts..... a diabolic descent. A deliverance by the blade. It is the Chimera of humanity, the end of Stigmata; the blade that transcends Finality. If you cannot overcome it, you cannot carry the dream called fire. Let's go. This time, I'm loading my own life into this chamber..... and expect you to transcend everything!

(^)(^)(^)(^)(^)(^)

Adam: All right, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Adam, Shadow and Vanessa: It's time..... For a DEATH BATTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Moon

Kevin Kaslana sat on his throne that resides within the moon on Earth, silent as always as he waits for his adversaries to arrive on the moon and confront it. Having taken the Authority of Finality, Kevin's endgame would soon come fruition in the form of Project STIGMA, which would be humanity's best counter for the Honkai even if 99% would die as a result.

Suddenly his eyes focused on one of the pillars stands up, summoning Judgement of Shamash in his hands.

Kevin: ..... I know you're there. You can either come out or I will force you.

???: Heh, impressive.

A bald, old man in a black and white coat comes out of the pillar, looking amused at being discovered. It was Master Xehanort of Organization XIII.

Xehanort: I see that you're a powerful individual. I have seen what you're capable of in this world after fighting those monsters for so long. Well then, let's cut to the chase.

Xehanort raised his right arm and summon his Keyblade, No Name.

Xehanort: I am Xehanort and I am in need of your Heart. It will provide an important role to my plans to reset the universe.

Kevin remained silent for a while. Then he narrowed his eyes and points Judgement of Shamash at Keyblade Master.

(This Heartless Empire - Brandon Yates)

https://youtu.be/LZXNcsv1sxE

Kevin: I'm afraid I will have to decline. One way or another, I will complete Project STIGMA.

The two powerful masterminds began circling each other.

Xehanort: You must be mistaken, this isn't a request. I WILL have your Heart.

Kevin: Then you will have to take it from my cold dead body.

Xehanort: That can be arranged.

FIGHT!

Both dashed forward and locked blades with each other as sparks fly, Divine Key against Keyblade. After reaching a stalemate both backed off before trading blows once again, teleporting across the throne room as fire and darkness collide. Appearing from above, Xehanort casts Dark Firaga down at Kevin, but the World Serpent leader conjures a powerful ice attack of his own and counters, creating a massive explosion of fire and ice.

Xehanort: Darkness!

Xehanort fires more dark-colored fireballs at Kevin who deflected them all with Judgement of Shamash. However, this left him vulnerable to be struck by Xehanort who teleports behind him and slashed his back with No Name. If Kevin showed pain, he didn't show it and instead turns to knock Xehanort back into a pillar. He charges his weapon and sends a fire energy wave at the Keyblade Master who teleports just to time to avoid getting bisected, which cannot be said the same for the pillar which crumbled.

Kevin: Begone!

Kevin slashes a fiery energy wave from Judgement of Shamash at Xehanort, who counters with a Dark Firaga spell, cancelling both flame-based abilities. However, Kevin jumps forward and slashes the Keyblade Master in the chest, making him double over in pain. Kevin then raises his Divine Key to slash down, but Xehanort lifts his arm up, casting a black and white orb.

Xehanort: Stopza!

Xehanort unleashes his time stop spell unto the World Serpent leader, freezing him in place. Xehanort chuckles and is prepared to attack the seemingly immobile Kevin with another Dark Firaga.

Xehanort: Impressive, but ultimately no match-

He is cut off by Kevin's fist slamming into his face, knocking him back into a pillar. Xehanort grabs his face in  and groaned in pain before looking up and his eyes widened in disbelief as he saw the Kaslana was unaffected by one of his most powerful spells.

Xehanort: What?! But how?!

Kevin: I have faced numerous foes who utilizes the power of time. Yours are no different old man.

Xehanort growls and raised No Name before casting Dark Thundaga. Kevin counters by slash Judgement of Shamash upwards, deflecting the attack which creates a hole in the throne room. Kevin then flies up with Xehanort following pursuit seconds after.

The Keyblade Master and Hero of the Previous Era countered their weapons blow for blow while teleporting across the moon's atmosphere. Xehanort gets the upper hand and knocks Kevin below before creating a giant black hole that engulfs him. Xehanort smirks at this but his smugness disappears when Kevin's voice can be heard inside.

Kevin: I told you, your powers are nothing new to me.

A horizontal fiery slash cuts the black holes and dissipates as Kevin emerges from it, now in his Diabolic Kevin form. Kevin flies up and locked blades with Xehanort who is now struggling to keep up.

Xehanort: Enough of this!

The Organization XIII's true leader pushes him back before donning his Keyblade Armor, becoming Armored Xehanort. Xehanort casts multiple Dark Firaga at Kevin who either swats them away or tanked them before launching multiple ice spikes at him, which is countered by Blizzaga.

Xehanort: Away with you!

Xehanort creates a portal behind Kevin and attacks Kevin which causes him be pushed into it, Xehanort following afterwards.

Scala ad Caelum

Kevin lands on his feet and looked around to see he was in unfamiliar territory before seeing Xehanort exiting the portal and blocks No Name with Judgement of Shamash. Kevin blasts Xehanort back with an ice attack and takes flight.

Seeing this Xehanort summons 12 Replicas of himself and they all began attacking Kevin all at once. 6 of them plus the original slashed and hacked at Kevin in close range while the remaining Replicas casted Dark Firaga, Blizzaga and Dark Thundaga.

And yet, despite being completely outnumbered 13 to 1, Kevin was holding his own against Xehanort and his Replicas. Ducking under two Keyblades, Kevin turns and slashes four Replicas with Judgement of Shamash and disintegrates another 4 with his ice.

Two Xehanort Replicas casts Dark Firaga at Kevin, but are deflected and teleports behind them and kills them as well. However, this provided the real Xehanort with the opening and unleashes a black hole and consumes him.

Suddenly a huge explosion knocks Xehanort and two of his Replicas back. When the smoke clears, Kevin has transcended to his Deliverance Kevin form!

Kevin: I had enough!

Kevin summons tow blades which he fused into a doubled-pointed spear with Honkai Energy and hurls it at one of the Replica, causing it to dissipate. Before the remaining one could react, Kevin grabs Judgement of Shamash and morphs it into Might of An-Utu and teleports in front of the Replicas before he beheads it. The Her of the Previous Era locked eyes with the Keyblade Master and points Might of An-Utu at hi, who returns the gestures with No Name.

Xehanort and Kevin locked blades ones more and are once again in a stalemate, every slash or stab that's sent their way are either parried or blocked. Bit by bit, Xehanort's armor is being chipped and it was only a matter of time before he's overwhelmed.

Xehanort: It's time to end this!

Kevin was pushed back before Xehanort discards his armor and raised No Name up high. Kevin watched as the Keyblade shines brightly and transforms from a black sword with an eye into a silver gold and green one as the X-Blade is formed. Before Kevin knew it, he and Xehanort were consumed by a bright light.

Dive to The Heart

Kevin suddenly finds himself in a platform with no other buildings in sight as he looked around in confusion. But not just any platform, it was a Dive to The Heart one. There it depicts Kevin being in the middle with Judgement of Shamash in hand and the logo of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers around him.

Another flash of light caught Kevin's attention and glanced upwards to see Xehanort floating above him with the X-Blade pointed up.

Xehanort: Come, Kingdom Hearts!

A beam of light fires from the X-Blade and summons a giant, black heart-shaped moon which begins charging up. Xehanort looks down at Kevin and smirks.

Xehanort: Begone foolish boy! Descend into darkness forever!

Kingdom Hearts fires an intense energy beam down at Deliverance Kevin, engulfing him. Xehanort laughs at this and sneers.

Xehanort: You cannot hope to control the power of darkness like I can!

Kevin: Humph, don't get so cocky yet, old man.

Xehanort's eyes widened in shock and horror as he heard Kevin's voice. Sure enough, Kevin has created an multi-layered shield that withstand even the Kingdom Heart's powerful beam attack. The leader of Organization XIII couldn't believe his own eyes.

Xehanort: That's..... impossible!

Kevin: You want to see true power? Then, allow me to show you the power..... that transcends finality!

Kevin roars as he creates a shockwave that pushes the energy beam back, knocking Xehanort further upwards. Kevin teleports above Xehanort and slams a crystallized Honkai-powered bat at Xehanort's side, making the Keyblade Master cough up blood before swinging up upwards and slashes with Might of An-Utu, drawing more blood.

Xehanort manages to teleport away and Kingdom Hearts appears behind him, charging up the X-Blade.

Xehanort: Be consumed by darkness!

The Keyblade Master points the X-Blade at Kevin and fires an immense black and white energy beam at the former Hero of the Previous Era. Kevin raises his hand and creates a shield that blocks the incoming attack. In response, Kevin forms a small but powerful purple and blue energy ball in his hand.

Kevin roars as he fires his own energy beam, completely overpowering the X-Blade's attack and hits Xehanort, who screams in agony as he is engulfed by the attack. The Honkai-fueled energy beam also hits Kingdom Hearts which glows and cracks started to form before exploding, consuming everything.

When everything is cleared, both Xehanort and Kevin can be seen standing on top of Kevin's Dive to The Heart platform. However, Xehanort had a huge hole in his chest, yet he had a smile on his face.

Xehanort: Tell me, young man. What is your name?

Kevin: ..... Kevin. Kevin Kaslana.

Xehanort: Kevin, huh? A fitting name, for a powerful warrior.

The X-Blade slips from Xehanort's hand and the leader of Organization XIII closed his eyes as he fell backwards, dropping dead as his body glowed and dissolves into light. Kevin glanced at the glowing particles and sighed.

Kevin: It's finished.

KO!

* Kevin opens a portal and enters it, presumably back to his base.

* The camera zooms in on the damaged X-Blade lying on the ground.

Results

(This Heartless Empire again)

Vanessa: Okay, are we sure Xehanort's dead? You can't be too careful with him especially since he can pull an Ultron.

Adam: Xehanort won't be coming back from the dead this time, Kevin was too much for him. These stories may paint these two as extremely powerful villains but they have limits and have been defeated.

Shadow: To Xehanort's credit, he can match some of Kevin's abilities like portal creations, resistance to existence erasure, and swordsmanship. He was generally much more cunning and a clever bastard, always planning 10 steps ahead and his immortality via transplanting his Heart into others makes him extremely difficult to be put down.

Vanessa: They were both equal in speed too. Xehanort is superior to Aqua who spent 10 years in the Realm of Darkness, which is one-half the Ocean Between. And Kevin defeated Herrscher of Reason Bronya who was travelling across several dimensions in the Sea of Quanta, both of which are infinite in size and thus puts them in infinite speeds.

Adam: But Kevin held the edge in everything else. Xehanort may be 80 years old, but Kevin has been around for 50,000 years, having 625 times more experience. It doesn't help that Xehanort's old age hindered his physicality to the point he relies on magic than strength whereas Kevin remained in peak condition even after a cryogenic sleep.

Vanessa: Not to mention Kevin has fought a lot of opponents who's displayed abilities almost identical to Xehanort's. His time stopping Stopza? Kevin's been there and done that. Black holes? Su and Welt can do that too and Kevin resisted it. Spatial manipulation? A walk in the park. Fire and ice? Pffft! We're talking about a dude who's literally cold to the touch and negated the flames of a powerful reality warping being.

Popup: The Imaginary Tree can deal damage at a conceptual level and affect souls, which Keyblades are capable of. And Kevin resisted the effects of the Abyss Flower which utilized the concept of death, thus preventing Xehanort from taking over Kevin's body or even taking out his Heart.

Shadow: And while Xehanort was a master manipulator, Kevin's isn't stupid enough to fall for his devious schemes. Hell, he came face to face with Otto Apocalypse, the same man who tricked both the Imaginary Tree and the Will of the Honkai in giving him the power to observe other universes and create parallel ones where Kallen Kaslana lived. And if you think about it, Otto and Xehanort share a lot of similarities.

Vanessa: So Xehanort's only option was sheer power. And to that we need to compare the X-Blade and Kingdom Hearts to the Authority of Finality. Both the Kingdom Hearts and Authority are capable of resetting the multiverse and draws power from said multiverse. For that, we need to determine how big their respective multiverse are. Both do have solid evidences and statements to suggest the consistency of being a multiverse.....

Adam: ..... However, the Honkaiverse is far more complex and larger thanks to the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta, the latter being 11 dimensional compared to the Ocean Between which is 5D at best, and the Imaginary Tree being much more layered then even the Sea of Quanta. And while every "world" in Kingdom Hearts is a universe, the Sea of Quanta alone contains infinite bubble and parallel universes within and the Imaginary Tree exists beyond all that. There's no way Kingdom Hearts' cosmology could come close to that level. As a result, the Authority of Finality would overpower both the X-Blade and Kingdom Hearts.

Shadow: However, Xehanort does have one ability that neither Kevin nor the Authority of Finality possessed: time travel. Despite many characters in Honkai Impact 3rd having absurd abilities which ignores the laws of physics and even ignore the rules of reality, there are surprisingly zero evidence that any of them were capable of time travelling and no statements to suggest it even exists in the Honkaiverse. Theoretically, Xehanort could travel back to the start of the fight and end it fast or even go back to kill Kevin before he got his hands on the Authority of Finality. So, what's stopping Xehanort from pulling a "Time, huh? Thanks for the tip."?

Adam: There's just one itty bitty problem with that. In order to time travel, Xehanort must discard his body and that 's where he's at his most vulnerable because he can be killed  permanently if his Heart's destroyed. And that's assuming Xehanort has the time to even do so. Considering their equal in speed and Kevin's much broader abilities via the Authority of Finality, Xehanort just doesn't have the time he needs to pull it off.

Popup: On the off chance Xehanort did time travel, the Authority of the Void's clairvoyance, space-time manipulation and BFR would've alerted Kevin and could intercept Xehanort.

Shadow: Xehanort is undeniably one of the most powerful characters in Kingdom Hearts, especially with the X-Blade and true Kingdom Hearts in hand. However, against Kevin's superior power, greater counters, greater level of haxes and the Authority of Finality, the leader of Organization XIII ultimately fell short against the Hero fo the Previous Era.

Vanessa: Kevin had both the Heart and the Authority to best Xehanort and sent his ass to Kingdom come.

Adam: The winner is Kevin Kaslana.
