Humanity, Stop Courting Death
The Mobius curled up boredly. As a genius who madly craved the "infinite," she didn't care much about being fixed in a snake's body. She could only sense that her current weak posture was just a necessary hardship to face in order to regain the power of Flame-Chasers.
But...
Feeling Kane's burning gaze, Mobius silently moved her body a little closer to Luming's calf. What's with Kevin's descendant? Does he really want to eat snake meat that much? This lab rat said he brought my eggs back... and he wants to cook them?!
PS: This is what Luming said when she was holding the Mobius in her hands and talking to herself last time.
Mobius's hatred towards Kane has increased.
In short, even if Mobius is unwilling to admit it now, she has indeed become this little white mouse's pet. Fortunately, she is not a stupid girl; when Kalpas tried to force-feed her raw meat, he noticed her reluctance and replaced it with cooked meat.
Moreover, I can smell several familiar scents on this girl named Luming... By the way, what's with this guinea pig? Aren't there too many Flame-Chasers around her?
With the idea of waiting for Luming to kill an Emperor Class or Judgment Class Honkai Beast one day, then picking up the scraps and eating it to transform back into human form, and also subtly modifying her body with his own genes before that, Mobius endured humiliation and settled down in Luming's Courtyard.
But what Mobius didn't know was that the Honkai Beast Polymerization this white mouse was Vishnu.
——Serpent Gate——
It was another peaceful day. Mobius lazily curled up in her little nest. Since she became like this, her mobility had decreased a lot, and she would stay still if she could avoid it.
To put it bluntly, I've just become lazy.
"Ah~ I slept so well. Let's see what my little white mouse is up to today." The Mobius raised its head, and its slender body slowly emerged from its nest.
The girl devoutly burned incense and bathed, placed the portrait of the Crimson Kite Immortal (whom she had transformed into), bowed several times, and skillfully opened the card-drawing interface of the Guidance Module.
Regardless of the difficulty of the missions issued each time a world collision occurs, the reward is always a chance to draw a prize. The gacha pool is limited to Honkai Branch World and some universal world-class buffs, although so far she has only drawn something from one Honkai World...
"Amitabha, Amen, may Lao Tzu protect me..." Xing randomly chanted a bunch of gods and Buddhas, but she herself did not believe in these things. Chanting these was just a bit of metaphysics, after all, she was a divine messenger.
Please, give me something usable! Stop with the useless buffs or idol memories, can't you give me something that actually increases combat power?!
[Randomly selected from Honkai Branch World... Congratulations on obtaining 'Omnitrix,' also known as 'Omnitrix'!]
???
Hmm, did I just hear something weird?
To the girl's bewildered gaze, an unusual black wristwatch appeared out of thin air and slowly landed in her hand, its dim screen displaying an hourglass-like shape.
Fortunate. "..."
Holy crap! Finally, one that works!
The Giant! The Energy Kong! The Clock King! And X-Man... never mind the last one, here I come!
Note: The Omnitrix is a gadget featured in the animated series The Matrix. It contains the DNA of over a million extraterrestrial intelligent beings, allowing the wearer to transform into different alien life forms. Its inventor, Azmith, created this "Noah's Ark" to promote peaceful exchange between different species in the universe, but its actual effects seem to be contrary to his wishes?
Xing excitedly took off the Book of Cang Xuan Bracelet. He originally wanted to pull off the Transformation Bracelet as well, but since it had the same properties as the Omnitrix, he simply wore the Omnitrix on his left hand to create a left-right contrast with the Transformation Bracelet.
A slender arm slips through the bulky watch, and as if detecting the user, the hourglass pattern on the dial lights up green, automatically adjusting its size to fit the user's wrist.
Wait a minute, it suddenly occurred to me that this thing, like the Transformation Bracelet, can't be easily taken off once it's on. How am I going to explain this to everyone later? Oh well, I'll just make up some excuse. At worst, I'll say it was given to me by a mysterious person.
Hey, why is this broken watch glowing blue? Is it being adjusted?
Note: The Omnitrix will self-adjust according to the wearer.
The only thing I'm unhappy about with the Omnitrix is that it's green in the hands of the main world's little one, while it comes in all sorts of colors in other dimensions. The embarrassing thing is that I got the green Omnitrix, which is really awkward to use... Should Jizo-Mitama to change its color?
Huh, it's turned back to green light. Why did the shape change? Was it not fully adjusted?
Sachi waited patiently for a while, but in Mobius's eyes, Sachi suddenly took out a strange watch, put it on, and then started waving her arms and legs around. What was this little white mouse doing?
Finally, after waiting for the Omnitrix to return to normal, Sachi suppressed her excitement and, under Mobius's bewildered gaze, leaped out of the window and ran to a deserted, open space. She spun the bezel, the hourglass pattern unfolded, the movement rose, revealing an unknown symbol. Without even glancing at it, Sachi clapped her hands and, in a childish manner, shouted the famous line from the original user, Benjamin Kirby Ben Tennessee—abbreviated as Ben Tennyson: "Now, the hero enters!"
A dazzling green light enveloped the girl's body. When the light dissipated, she eagerly opened her eyes and scanned her body, only to find a pair of human female hands.
Fortunate. "..."
What's going on? Is that Omnitrix broken?!
The Guidance Module features a user-friendly pop-up item description:
The Omnitrix is a product of the collision between the BenTen and Honkai Branch World Branch World, jointly developed by Mobius and Vill-V from a parallel world. Unlike the Omnitrix, its main function is to transform the wearer into either the original Honkai Beast or a simplified version of it, within their genes. In this timeline, the Omnitrix is a mass-produced item, unlike the original which stores a large amount of DNA. Instead, it serves as a simple and controllable tool for Fusion Warrior to artificially Artificial Honkai Eruption transform. While combat power is greatly reduced, controllability is significantly enhanced.
[Note: The actual functions of this device are not limited to this; please explore them on your own. Also, because Mobius kept a close eye on Vill-V during the development process, the watch's appearance remains the original.]
(For example, some SS-Rank bosses that become part of the Memory Battlefield. Parvati's ultimate evolution—Ultimate Parvati!)
Fortunate. "..."
Damn, I got excited too soon. I knew the Omnitrix I got from the Honkai World couldn't possibly be the original. But since it was created by Mobius, it's not surprising that it's green... Wait, can I use this to Artificial Honkai Eruption?
Thinking this, Xing hurriedly tried to activate the Omnitrix to transform again, but found that it had disappeared from her wrist. Looking down, she saw that its main body was embedded in her chest, like a timer.
"Huh, I'm currently in... Nightshade Heavy Mist form?"
As if she had discovered a new continent, Xing patted her chest, transforming herself back into Chen Xilumeng's normal state, and the Omnitrix returned to her wrist as a watch.
This time, Xing turned on the Omnitrix and carefully examined the icons inside.
"This is Kallen, this is Sakura, this is Fu Hua's Father... why is there a pig too?"
Out of curiosity, I patted it. A green light flashed, and a gigantic black beast exuding a chilling aura lay on its back, lifeless.
"Damn it, I forgot that our Kaslana Ancestor first Polymerization with this pig... Hey hey hey, this form's arms are too short, I can't reach the Omnitrix on its chest!"
Perhaps because it was his first time transforming and he wasn't very skilled, he struggled for a long time but couldn't get up until the Omnitrix on his chest turned from green to red, and he transformed back into human form in a burst of light.
The girl got up from the ground dejectedly and looked at the Omnitrix that had been put on cooldown. "Ten minutes of transformation at a time? That's much better than that three-minute real man. How long is the cooldown period?"
I felt that the Parvati I just transformed into was much weaker than the actual Emperor Class Honkai Beast. It seems that the combat power after transformation is affected by the current state of the user. This is much worse than the original Omnitrix.
Although she couldn't transform again for a while, the curious Xing still went through all the icons she could find in the Omnitrix. Although the Honkai version of the Omnitrix could only be used by certain groups of people, it was a godsend for her, who Polymerization Vishnu and could devour the genes of various Honkai Beast.
"Hmm, Ashvatta is in there too, along with a bird, a cat, a fox, a whale, and what's with the snake? Speaking of which, since I'm Kevin's descendant, strictly speaking, I should be able to become a chimera... Is my bloodline concentration too low to unlock Parvati? Tsk, I should have bitten Bebelong last time. But who is this one?"
Fortunately, I found a picture of a strange creature. I looked at it carefully for a long time but couldn't figure out what kind of Honkai Beast it was. I guessed that it might be Vishnu, or... it might be a man -Artificial Honkai Eruption.
Her memory of the last collapse was a bit hazy; she didn't remember what she looked like afterward. But the only thing she was certain of was that, unless absolutely necessary, she would never undergo another Artificial Honkai Eruption of that magnitude before her body returned to normal.
Its current form... it could probably only be completely destroyed by Kevin's personal arrival.
"Huh, it's done in three minutes?" Noticing the red light on the Omnitrix had turned green again, the girl, who was about to walk home, brought up the bird icon and gently tapped it—
A small, plump, white Crimson Kite Bird stood there blankly, raised its wing and glanced at the scene, its small eyes filled with despair.
"Hehe! (What a rip-off! I thought this was Garuda, but it's the Crimson Kite's Wings?!)"
PS1: The reason for eating too many Crimson Kite eggs.
PS2: Fortunately, he can become "Garuda", the incarnation of Fu Hua in the final chapter of the first part.
——Serpent Gate——
It was another peaceful day. With nothing to do, Luming decided to go outside to test the functions of her Omnitrix. Just as she was about to leave, the Five-Dimensional Sisters, whose atmosphere was clearly a bit off, pulled her back from the doorway.
The television was showing the horrific scenes of wild animals being slaughtered by poachers. Stardust stared blankly at the screen, then picked up the remote and changed the channel.
News broadcasts about marine pollution, including plastic bags and other marine debris found in the entrails of marine life, oil-polluted waters, expanding red tides, uncontrolled fishing, and stranded whales that have died tragically.
Haiyi trembled with anger, her originally gentle and innocent expression turning fierce. Luming knew something was wrong. Apart from Stardust, all five of the Five-Dimensional Sisters represented natural elements and had zero tolerance for environmental pollution.
"Haiyi, um... there are people who handle these kinds of things." Luming walked behind the sofa, trying to soothe the little jellyfish's emotions, but an angry Haiyi turned around and retorted, "Then why hasn't this kind of thing disappeared? I keep seeing news about it lately! No, ever since you taught me how to use the internet, I've been seeing these things all the time! What do those humans take the ocean for?!"
Luming was at a loss as to how to deal with the problem at hand. It touched on her blind spot. Cleaning up environmental pollution cannot be done with just a little money or a few stupid people.
"I don't object to fishing, hunting schools of fish... it's the law of nature that the strong prey on the weak. But everything should have its limits, right?" The fierce little jellyfish looked aggrieved. The ocean was her home. If someone dumped garbage into your home, slaughtered pets, and developed it on a large scale, wouldn't you be angry?
"Stardust can't see a clear starry sky anymore! Long ago, before we separated, we could see a sky full of Stars no matter where we were. What has it become now?!" Haiyi's anger was not abated. Pointing at the whaling ship on the TV, he roared, "If I ever see it at sea again, I'm going to sink it and everyone on board to the bottom of the sea!"
Luming said that many fishermen are forced to make a living, and many are forced to go to sea by the need to survive, but what's the point of saying that?
It only reveals one's own hypocrisy and the ruthlessness of humanity.
"Alright, Haiyi," Stardust said, silencing Haiyi's indignation. "Humans are indeed despicable in this respect, but some of them are fighting for it. Let's trust them for now. We... can't let human civilization regress to ancient times, can we?"
"But we risked our lives to restore this planet's environment, only to have them now exploit its resources with impunity?" Haiyi was clearly recalling distant memories, and the anger on his face had not subsided.
"Stardust is right, Haiyi, this is an inevitable trend in the development of civilization. Do you think all those video Yugi you love to play and those delicious snacks came from? And those exquisite clothes and shoes." As the eldest of the five dimensions, Cang Qiong has a clearer understanding of this matter. In her several conversations with her, Luming vaguely discovered that this person seems to have slept for hundreds of years and then come out to see the world. She is probably already used to this situation.
"However, the melody of the wind is indeed not as melodious as it used to be." Cang Qiong sighed softly, then looked at the silent girl. "This world is somewhat different from the one we were in before, but we sincerely hope that you can cherish it more."
"Speaking of this, I know quite a few influential people." Luming of her teacher and great-grandfather. "But we'll have to wait until the Honkai is defeated. Right now, we really don't have much energy left to deal with these things."
The Five-Dimensional Sisters had already been informed of the unique calamity of this world and said nothing more. However, Cang Qiong looked worried. "I'm very worried about Shi An and Chi Yu. Logically, now that the three of us have awakened, they should have appeared by now, but there's still no sign of them. I'm not too worried about Chi Yu, but Shi An..."
Frustrated, Haiyi snatched the remote from her third sister and kept changing channels. But when a forest appeared on the TV screen, the ahoge (cowlick) on Xingchen's head stood up straight and shone with a yellowish-brown luster.
"Huh?" The little jellyfish was dumbfounded. What a coincidence!
Stardust Baby was very happy. He raised his little hand, snapped his fingers, and a large wormhole appeared under the four of them. They fell down along with the sofa.
Unsurprisingly, Stardust once again teleported everyone to high altitudes.
"Damn it! Sis, you should have told me before you teleported next time!" Haiyi wailed and clung to Luming like a koala. The Transformation Bracelet, which detected danger, forced the transformation to start. The Magical Girl Lady helplessly held Haiyi in one hand and Stardust in the other, while simultaneously chanting a spell at high speed to save the sofa before it fell to the ground.
What about the Cang Qiong?
Qiong quickly grabbed the girl's ankle to prevent her from falling. Facing three pairs of questioning eyes, she turned her head awkwardly, "Sorry, I haven't recovered my energy after our last battle, so I'm conserving my strength."
Hey lady, you're an Origin Spirit who controls the wind element, does flying consume mana?
Author's Note—
Ahem, now comes Shi'an, the smallest member of the Five-Dimensional Medium. Let's give him a round of applause!
P. S.: This contains angst, please proceed with caution. Those curious can search for Shi'an's birthday song, "The Last Guardian," on Bilibili.
Why did they have to play such a sad song on Shi'an's birthday?!
Alright, the end of the knife will definitely be sweet, so please look forward to it. Also, the Magical Girl Luming Second Form that you've all been waiting for (probably?) is finally coming!
And that's not all, Ben13's branch of fortune has been revealed—
He possesses the power of Thirteen Flame-Chasers and carries out the will of the Fire Chaser in the Honkai World.
When the Proxy Herrscher Welt Joyce was engaged in a fierce battle with Otto, he accidentally destroyed the Star of Eden in Otto's hand and was at a disadvantage, a boy appeared out of nowhere.
"Phew, looks like it's not too late." He took off his coat, revealing a dark purple wristwatch on his left wrist.
Note: The appearance of the Honkai Omnitrix here is a First Generation Omnitrix Vill-V style.
"Oh, and who are you?" Otto narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't sense any threat from this seemingly ordinary boy, but to be able to ignore the intense Honkai Energy and get here, he must be someone special.
The boy waved away the red feathers that were wrapped around him, and instead of looking at Otto, he looked straight at the stunned Joyce.
Did you see that, Elysia?
"Me? That's not important." The gear-shaped bezel rotated automatically, and the dark golden core rose from the watch. The boy pushed Otto away with one hand and gently patted the watch.
"Now, Flame-Chasers enters the stage!"
