Transformation Effects

"Bronya, conserve ammunition. Everyone else, tighten the defense!" As the number of Honkai Beasts increased, Mei calmly commanded.

Han Jiang and the others retreated at her words. As more Honkai Beasts appeared, Deadwalkers with red patterns began emerging among the Deadwalker horde.

These Deadwalkers were not as tough as Honkai Beasts, but they left behind just as much fire after death.

Amid the chaos, Han Jiang accidentally got a little flame on himself, but it vanished before it could burn him.

Han Jiang asked the system, and it reported that the Honkai Energy had been detected as sharing the same origin and would cause no damage.

Other than Triss and Bronya, everyone present was a close-range fighter, and the flames caused them quite a bit of trouble.

"Neko Charm!"

With Kiana's loud shout, the surrounding Honkai Beasts and Deadwalkers all retreated.

Dense Honkai Energy burst from Kiana's body. As she struck, enormous cat-shaped paws and feet appeared.

Mei and Rikka Ruri erupted in succession. Massive blade auras wrapped around their Tachis, and two forty-meter blades slaughtered Honkai Beasts.

After all, this was not a game. The blade auras were blocked by the Honkai Beasts in front and could not hurt those behind them.

Only Kiana's Honkai Energy could reach farther, while Mei and Rikka Ruri's blade auras could injure at most the Honkai Beasts three meters away.

"Begin transfer. Stigmata Armor: Crimson Sakura." Han Jiang issued the command to the system.

Crimson Sakura's energy shared the same origin as the special Honkai Beasts, and its damage was somewhat higher than Hundred Refinements, making it Han Jiang's first choice.

Data began covering Han Jiang's body. The next second, his clothes transformed into a red-and-white Miko outfit.

"Hahahaha! Han Jiang, I knew you had this hobby!" Even in battle, Kiana did not forget to mock him.

Han Jiang regretted activating Crimson Sakura. Who could have imagined that a C-rank Domain Gear would come with transformation effects?!

"I've already decided. Our class will put on a Snow White show for the school festival, and you'll play Snow White!" Kiana's voice was wildly exaggerated, and she was nearly laughing herself to tears.

"Han Jiang, don't distract everyone from fighting!" Mei said, her face flushed red.

"Inch Punch, Wild Thunder!"

A clear path suddenly appeared through the Honkai Beasts and Deadwalkers before Han Jiang and the others. Fu Hua, dressed in traditional Shenzhou clothing, stood at the other end of it.

It was not just Mei and the others who froze. Even Fu Hua was visibly taken aback.

Han Jiang smacked his forehead, withdrew Stigmata Armor: Crimson Sakura, and changed back into Hundred Refinements. Wasn't this deliberately making him lose face?

With the four members of Fu Hua's team joining them, everyone relaxed considerably, and their division of labor became clear.

They formed pairs. One person was responsible for knocking back special individuals within the beast horde, while the other killed them, ensuring that those fighting nearby would not be touched by the special flames.

"God of War, I heard a few days ago that you liked dressing as a girl. I didn't believe it at the time." Rikka Ruri, beside Han Jiang, gave him an expression that said more than words ever could.

Han Jiang remained silent. Ever since waking up, he had wondered what he had done while being controlled.

No wonder Kiana had laughed herself silly and demanded that he perform, while Mei's pretty face had turned red.

If Stigmata Armor: Crimson Sakura had looked relatively normal, it would have been nothing. Given enough time, the rumors about him dressing as a girl might have faded away.

But what was the result?

At this point, even jumping into the massive fountain in St. Freya High School's courtyard would not wash the shame away.

Who would have thought that their famous God of War had such a hobby?

Han Jiang's attacks became exceptionally fierce. If he could kill a Honkai Beast with one slash, he absolutely would not use a second.

He could not take it out on the system, but could he not take it out on Hiyori?

What, the Herrscher Benevolent Face was not Hiyori?

Then it had still come out of Hiyori. Don't make excuses. That vixen had to wear girls' clothes.

What was wrong with his outfit?

Wasn't it good!?

Because Han Jiang had made a fool of himself, the atmosphere among the three teams was no longer as tense as before.

Fu Hua displayed her apparent B-rank Valkyrie strength to the fullest, blocking Honkai Beasts several times when they had nearly injured her classmates.

"Everyone, be careful. The principal and I will arrive in two minutes. Please hold on a little longer!" Himeko's voice rang in everyone's ears.

One student said, "Teacher Himeko, hurry over! Something very interesting happened here besides the Honkai Beasts."

"Auntie Himeko, hurry, hurry! If you're late, you won't get to see it."

"You can't see it anymore."

"It's fine. Bronya has already saved the photos, so there's no need to worry."

The girls chatted and laughed, fighting the Honkai Beasts with even greater vigor.

Han Jiang kept his head down and hacked at Honkai Beasts, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

Ten minutes had passed since the system began absorbing the special Honkai Energy. In the storage space, the Herrscher Benevolent Face had already begun to hatch.

The ball of light had turned into something fluffy, like a cocoon.

A palm-sized creature forcefully broke through the cocoon and crawled out.

"Where is this place? Why is it so dark?"

The little creature had fox ears and a tail. It wore a modified Miko outfit and looked exceedingly cute.

Han Jiang snorted and ignored it. He would lock this little thing up for three days and three nights first.

The Herrscher Benevolent Face had successfully hatched, and the source attracting the Honkai Beasts disappeared.

The surrounding Honkai Beasts lost their target and no longer swarmed everyone like mad.

Himeko and Theresa soon arrived. Golden Judah and pale blue arcs of lightning exploded among the beast horde.

"Are you all alright?" Himeko cleaved a Honkai Beast in two with her greatsword.

Everyone shook their heads. Triss said, "The two members of our team have already been injected with Anti-Honkai Serum. They're fine now."

Himeko nodded. "Remember to take good care of them. Their health comes first."

Next, Theresa and Himeko began clearing out the Honkai Beasts, letting the students present witness what a Valkyrie at the pinnacle of combat strength truly looked like.

Under the two women's attacks, these lesser Honkai Beasts and Deadwalkers were harvested like weeds.

Before long, the Honkai Beasts that had troubled everyone present were completely wiped out by the two of them.

"What happened at Changkong City Girls' Middle School? The camp's satellites could only capture a pitch-black expanse." Himeko asked Triss, who had been trapped here first.

Triss began recounting what had happened to them earlier.

Based on their own strength, the four of them had picked out a small group of Honkai Beasts and Deadwalkers to eliminate, but something changed during the cleanup.

With Changkong City Girls' Middle School as the center, the ground within a one-kilometer radius began to collapse, followed by a massive surge of Honkai Energy.

Large numbers of Honkai Beasts and Deadwalkers crawled out from the collapsed area and trapped them here.

Changkong City Girls' High School was not far from here. By standing a little higher, they could see the enormous hole left behind after the ground caved in.

"Should we go take a look?" When facing students, Theresa still carried herself like an elder.

Himeko thought for a moment before saying, "Let's send the students back first. After that, we'll explore it with the camp's Valkyries."

"No wonder the satellites couldn't capture anything. The dense Honkai Energy was interfering with them."

"You lot, with Mei's team at the front and Fu Hua's team at the rear, return to the camp immediately." Himeko directed the students present.

Then she said over the communication channel, "All students, return to the camp and await orders. Today's training is canceled."
