Rampage (Continued)

Upon hearing this, Vil-V glanced at Vil-V Kalpas.

Liu Bai felt that if this guy continued like this, he would get beaten up sooner or later.

"Let's go together then." Liu Bai saw that Kalpas's bowl already had enough food, so he stopped helping to put food in it.

(Is it really okay to be so casual?)

Sakura sighed. Although Vil-V was a bit outspoken, what she said... was indeed true.

Kalpas appears to be the kind of violent battle maniac. Although he is relatively calm now, whether he can remain calm when it comes to actually fighting is another matter entirely.

At least Sakura had absolutely no confidence in cooperating with Kalpas.

(If all else fails, let the leader take Kalpas in, I'll provide cover from behind...)

"Let's eat first."

Sakura, who was involved in the incident, brought the topic to a close.

After dinner, Liu Bai discussed the concert with Eden.

Due to the increasingly serious and undeniable problem of Honkai, calls for a boycott of entertainment are growing louder in society.

Of course, Liu Bai and Eden were not thinking about revitalization, but rather about retiring and transforming themselves.

However, even so, the sudden announcement of retirement by a world-class pop star still caused a great shock. After all, given Eden's popularity, these "few" calls cannot shake Eden's position at all.

As for the transformation... Eden thinks, just like Liu Bai said back then, a social media debut wouldn't be bad? It would also free up time to help everyone with logistics.

"A farewell concert..."

Liu Bai felt that Eden might be making such plans a bit too early, but he respected Eden's thoughts on this matter.

"I think there are still many people who need your singing."

"Yes, I know—so I'm just saying." Eden smiled. "As long as people still need my singing, I'll sing... and you too."

"..."

Is this some kind of love confession?

Eden turned what was supposed to be a slightly serious topic into a love confession... Could this be Eden's true intention?

"Hey! Sister Eden! Boss!"

Pardofelis rushed in.

"That... that Mr. Kalpas..."

"Um... tell me slowly."

Pardo's intrusion disrupted the somewhat awkward and ambiguous atmosphere between the two, but since it involved Kalpas, Liu Bai couldn't help but take it seriously.

"What happened to Kalpas?"

"Kalpas... Mr. Kalpas is destroying the greenery!"

"... Destroying the greenery?" Eden tilted his head.

"It was a bang~ that broke the willow tree in your yard, Sister Eden."

"It's okay, that thing isn't worth much."

Eden reacted calmly, though a look of confusion still appeared on his face.

"But why would he hit a big tree? Or with his fist?"

"I don't know, but I think Mr. Kalpas probably wants to bring the willow tree back."

"...?"

Rumble...

While Eden was puzzled, he heard the sound of a heavy object being dragged downstairs.

Ah... does that mean they've already moved in?

"... Thanks to the fact that our ELM has big doors."

"No, you should be glad that the willow tree you bought wasn't big."

Liu Bai complained, "I'm going to see what Kalpas is up to. Why is he breaking willow trees for no reason..."

"Why do I feel like Eden and you guys are focusing on something a little off?" Pardo felt a bit uneasy listening to their complaints.

Doesn't anyone think this is wrong? Why does it seem like you were already prepared for this?

"As long as he doesn't want to dismantle ELM, there won't be any major problems," Liu Bai gestured for Pardo to remain calm.

"..."

Ignoring Pardo was deep in thought, Liu Bai moved directly to Kalpas's side.

"Kalpas, what are you doing moving this thing?"

Liu Bai looked at Qian Jie, who was dragging a Kalpas of broken wood with one hand, with great puzzlement.

"I want to do wood carving, but I don't have any materials on hand," Kalpas replied indifferently.

"So you go and destroy... okay, wood carvings... um... it's good to be interested, but this way..."

Looking at the two-sectioned poplar tree, Liu Bai silently mourned for it for a second.

"If you need any materials, just let me know. As for the trees outside, there's no need to break them."

"...I see."

Kalpas, then nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Bai continued, "And haven't you considered that it can enter the ELM gate but not your room?"

"It's okay, I'll put them in."

Kalpas simple sentence was filled with an aura of violence.

"... Then good luck." Liu Bai nodded after a moment of silence. In any case, his only requirement for Kalpas was not to repeat the same mistakes.

"Hmm." Kalpas nodded indifferently and continued to move the two pieces of tree in his hands.

As expected, it seems ELM is about to introduce a new art style...

Boom--!

The Poison Cocoon Secret Base has encountered its most terrifying opponent since its inception.

"Damn it! Kalpas, couldn't you have waited for Liu Bai to possess you or for me to hack in? Why did you have to punch the door open like that?! Did you hear me?! The alarms throughout the entire base are going off! Three minutes! At most three minutes! You're about to face the Poison Cocoon's counterattack!"

The voice on the communicator from Vil-V was filled with frustration.

"It's so noisy!"

Kalpas had entered the battle, was enraged.

"This garbage...! This garbage...!"

"You're awesome, then go ahead and fight your way out by yourself!" Vil-V was getting a little angry too.

This guy completely ignores orders!

The steel-made defensive structures were as fragile as paper in the face of Kalpas's fists, and the outermost combat personnel could only scatter and flee in the face of the enraged Kalpas.

But... this is just the chaos caused by the sudden attack. Before long, these people will pick up their equipment and come back... well, provided they can escape from Kalpas.

"I knew Kalpas would cause trouble if he started fighting." Sakura followed behind, watching Kalpas wreak havoc in the base, and couldn't help but complain, "Boss, these people..."

"We have no choice but to knock it down. We could have taken a more clever approach."

Liu Bai was not surprised at all—Ying Du was mentally prepared for this kind of thing, let alone Liu Bai.

"Vil-V, please help block the distress signals from the Poison Cocoon."

"Ha... okay."

Liu Bai's words cooled down Vil-V's heated mind a little.

"Keep it up, I'll try to temporarily disable the gates to their armory."

"Drink up—!"

While the three were talking, Kalpas was still wreaking havoc in the base of the Poison Cocoon.

This is like a level 50 smurf coming to a level 20 version... In this timeline without Fusion Warrior, to deal with Kalpas Calamities, not only would you need to put on a show of fighting against the Herrscher, but you would also need to deploy a large-scale elite force of the Moth Chasers to Fire.

Kalpas's punch embedded the Poison Cocoon soldier who was trying to block him into the wall.

"The enemy is still in the hall! Surround the hall immediately! Grenades! Gas bombs! Throw them all in!" The voice of the Poison Cocoon Commander came from behind the hall door.

"Master..."

"Leave it to me, Kalpas. Can you break through that door with all your might?" Liu Bai discerned the location from which the voice came.

"Roll--!"

Kalpas responded with a roar—of course, not directed at Liu Bai.

Just like the one when they entered, the heavy metal door was once again sent flying by Kalpas's punch. The huge iron door pushed the entity behind it backwards, and then, a sound of something exploding and a bang rang out.

Bursting with juice...

Sakura's lips twitched, and she looked away, rushing toward another door that had just been opened.

Bang--!

The rampage of the Kalpas showed no signs of stopping. It smashed through the wall next to it, crushing a group of soldiers who were waiting in the next corridor.

"Ee, ee... ee-ya—!"

The overwhelming power and ferocious aura directly overwhelmed this group of elite assassins.

"A demon...this is a demon..." Some soldiers had already subconsciously collapsed to the ground, not daring to look Kalpas, who was standing in front of them, in the eye.

Are they fighting a monster that can tear down solid steel walls with its bare hands?

Are you kidding me?! Is this guy really not some kind of Honkai Beast?

Can their "weak" firearms really harm this monster?

"... I've also resolved things on my end."

Sakura shook the blood off her sword and looked at Kalpas.

That's too ferocious... If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to intimidate them in such a short time.

One punch sent the iron gate flying, two punches shattered the wall. What stood out was its ferocity. Sakura had no doubt that if the Kalpas were allowed to run rampant, this base would probably be completely reduced to ruins within an hour or two—the kind of ruins that even the person who designed it wouldn't recognize!

"But there should still be people."

Where?

Kalpas's fierce gaze shifted from the limp soldier to Sakura.

"... Just rush in."

Although Kalpas' ferocious aura suppressed her for a moment, Sakura felt that she might have already mastered how to use Kalpas.

"Charge in, and dismantle whatever you encounter."

"I see."

As Kalpas answered, he casually placed a large piece of wall down, preparing to smash it against the "trash" slumped on the ground.

What he wanted was the complete destruction of this place...

"Leave this to us," Liu Bai stopped Kalpas. "Garbage has its uses, and turning waste into treasure is a lesson in itself."

Especially after these people had been terrified by the Kalpas Tribulations.

"... It doesn't matter." Kalpas casually tossed the heavy wall in his hand away.

"Damn... this guy's really something..." The wall-mounted monitor connected to Vil-V's communication, and Vil-V's tone was clearly filled with astonishment. "Should we contact Mobius —buzz..."

—Qian Kalpas smashed the surveillance camera on the wall.

"It's so noisy."
