The Author with a Collapsing Mental State Couldn't Think of a Good Title

Previous Recap (Describe the details of the GaoGiant Bear King's fusion that were cut from the previous chapter due to time constraints):

While traveling on a company-funded basis with Eden, our dear protagonist unsurprisingly encountered the daily dungeon again. However, Sachi (the permanent version of the Luming skin), who was already used to her Conan death god status, simply laughed it off and took out her new cheat.

"All Beasts Combined!"

The GaoMoon Bear flips its body over, with its longer forelimbs serving as the legs after merging, and its two short legs merging with its hips to serve as the shoulders after merging. The head of the main body moves to its back to serve as the chest armor after merging.

Aside from the identical-colored and identical-looking black and GaoPolar Bear GaoBlack Bear serving as hands, the smallest of the GaoPanda, transforms and flips to enter the open body of the GaoMoon Bear, with only its bewildered bear head peeking out as the combined head.

The chin tilted down, revealing a human-shaped face.

"The Birth of the GaoGiant Bear King!!!"

—Beginning of main text—

Hell.

These are the first two words that came to Luming's mind after reading the injured panda's memories.

Blood draws, injections, removal of body tissues and organs... This national treasure, sent to this country for the purpose of friendly exchange, suffered unimaginable torment.

Ah, I should have realized it long ago. How could this hypocritical country possibly do anything decent?

The injured panda struggled to open its eyes and barely managed to raise its paw to wave at her. Luming was stunned, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

With trembling hands, she took out a sausage and fed it to the panda. The panda, which had been tormented for so long, happily ate it. But Luming's emotions suddenly collapsed. She had only fed it a few times, and it still remembered her to this day...

"GaoGiant Bear King, I am not giving you orders. I know I am only asking for your help, but..."

Luming raised her head and looked up at the towering Destruction Elf King. "Have no scruples. Crush everything you see!"

"Wait a minute, what are you saying to it?" Although he couldn't understand the communication between Luming and Power Beast, Eden keenly sensed the danger by observing her expression. He hurriedly called out to Luming and was about to dissuade her when two more loud noises and strong tremors, similar to the previous ones, came from afar.

An underground laboratory—

"Fuck! Are you all pigs?!" A man in a suit yelled at a group of researchers. "You actually let all those monsters escape from the quarantine facility, and they've all grown to enormous sizes! What are you doing? The government funds are for you to research controllable biological weapons, not to demolish the country's buildings!"

Just as he was about to unleash a few more curses to vent his anger at being scolded by his superior, an enormous foot slammed into the ceiling, turning the secret research institute, which housed countless sophisticated instruments and precious research data and was at the highest level of national defense, into ruins.

The instigator GaoGiant Bear King, paid no attention. It didn't even know what lay beneath the patch of ground it had just collapsed. It simply walked slowly toward the two newly appeared enemies.

As the GaoGiant Bear King, formed by the fusion of four bear-type Power Beast, its agility is rather awkward, but its destructive power and explosive force are beyond doubt. In short, just go all out.

Standing on its shoulder, Luming was constantly observing the battlefield situation, looked at the Beast Emperor Sword in her hand and wondered whether she should summon the GaoKing to form a righteous two-on-two. Sensing her thoughts, the GaoGiant Bear King immediately pounded its chest and roared to the sky, "Two little monsters are nothing, I can take care of them by myself!"

"Uh, they're just like the GaoRed Lion... But I believe in your strength, keep it up~" Luming respected their thoughts and believed in their strength, but their speed was worrying. The people of Schicksal were coming soon. Even if she opened a shielding barrier to cover up the GaoGiant Bear King's whereabouts, the energy supply was limited. It would be difficult to explain to Schicksal if she rashly used too much energy.

"Let's disassemble it and return it to its normal size first, then I'll call a new partner to come and take you there!"

Magical Girl Lady, or perhaps a little sister? She gracefully landed on the back of the sleepy-eyed GaoPanda, naturally mounted it, and then raised the Beast Emperor Sword high to the sky, shouting, "Summon the Beasts! This time, I'm summoning someone with incredible speed!"

The wormhole opened immediately, and under the expectant gaze of the four bears and one person, a turtle slowly crawled out of the wormhole.

"Ugh! (Have some shame!) x3"

With a powerful paw, the arrogant GaoMoon Bear sent the self-conscious GaoTurtle flying into the sky. Seeing this, Luming shrugged helplessly and began a new summoning.

The wormhole reopened, and with a loud roar, the powerfully built GaoLeopard made its grand entrance.

This is Leopard Bro, a tough guy who doesn't talk much. He arrived, instantly Megamorph, tossed four bears and one person onto his back, and then sprinted towards the delivery area. "I'll give you a ride, no fighting," he said. "This little sister hasn't decided which brothers I should merge with yet. The draft seems to tentatively call her the Fang Barking Grassland King?" Oh, and remember to give me a few bites after the fight.

On the other side, two berserk giant Honkai Beast were wreaking havoc in the city. The weapons of the conventional human army could not penetrate their shells, let alone cause any damage.

The giant eagle flapped its wings, creating air currents that easily tossed houses into the air like toys, while the giant lion opened its blood-red maw, unleashing high-temperature rays that effortlessly annihilated the army before it.

The cries, wails, and curses of humanity echoed in this self-proclaimed civilized and powerful nation, a stark irony.

How about this? This is a scene you've played out countless times in movies. This time, another American citizen will jump out and perform a personal heroism to save the world?

Hey, there really is.

A massive steel behemoth, developed at great expense, was transported by helicopter and flew toward the routed human army, giving the demoralized soldiers and the heavily wounded civilians a glimmer of hope.

"Oh! I knew immigrating here was the best choice! Long live the **!"

"God bless you!"

"Powerful mech warriors, quickly shred these damn monsters to pieces!"

P. S.: The asterisks are my own words. If you understand this, please don't post it. Thank you.

However, before they could celebrate for long, the giant eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky, seemingly to defend its dominance in the air. With a few dives, it destroyed all the transport planes, and the mechs, having lost their flight support, plummeted straight down.

The pilot sneered. Foolish Honkai Beast, this mech will be perfectly fine even if it lands at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and it also has temporary flight capabilities. Just obediently accept your punishment!

Just as this energetic young man was taking a moment to dream of piloting a mecha to defeat monsters, marry a princess, and reach the pinnacle of life, the giant lion suddenly exerted force with its hind legs, leaping into the air and slamming its sharp claws hard into the mecha's chest armor.

Warning: Power unit damaged, machine movement speed reduced...

Red alarms blared wildly in the cockpit. The pilot cursed and furiously pounded the control stick, but the sluggish mech could only take the hits from the combined attack of the two behemoths, unable to find an opportunity to retaliate.

As the damage to the aircraft worsened, the pilot's emotions shifted from anger and excitement to primal fear. He no longer cared about honor and wanted to activate the escape pod to leave.

"Fuck! Those bastards didn't even put an escape pod in this mech?!"

The pilot, vaguely understanding what was happening, slumped into his seat. On the screen, the giant lion raised its claws and struck again. The image disappeared, and the mecha itself completely lost power and collapsed to the ground, leaving the two giant beasts to tear at its body.

At first, people couldn't accept the fact that their "invincible mech" had been defeated, hoping that it would make a comeback with its remaining strength like in the movies. It wasn't until the giant lion threw the steel head at them like it was trash that people woke up from their dream and began to howl in fear again.

Some protagonists become protagonists because they survive to the end and become the heroes who defeat the demon king.

Boom!!!

Perhaps the giant lion completely destroyed the mech's power unit, or perhaps the mech itself was programmed to automatically self-destruct when it was about to be completely destroyed. The terrifying power spread from the mech as the center, engulfing everything present.

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky. As the smoke slowly dissipated, the once bustling city was gone, leaving only a deep crater and two Honkai Beasts had miraculously survived, roaring in the same spot.

Guided by some unseen will, they continued to the next location to wreak havoc, with large amounts of purple Honkai Energy surging from the burning earth, repairing their bodies.

The humans looked up at the two monsters in fear. Had God really abandoned them?

"Be confident, there is no such thing as God."

Looking up at the chaotic human world from high above, Luming admired their ugliness and sighed to Eden, who was holding her and hovering in the air. "Only by seeing this scene firsthand can one understand how arduous and great it was for you who fought so hard in the apocalypse of the previous era."

"...Indeed, the evil nature of humanity is undeniable, but—" Eden gestured for her to look at the easily overlooked scenes in the corner, "Even in the apocalypse, there are still people who hold onto hope and uphold goodness, and that is the reason we fight."

"Yes, that's my reason for fighting."

All beasts—combine!

Just as the giant lion easily crossed the blockade and pounced towards the city, a colossal giant descended from the sky, its landing kicking up dust that blotted out the sun. The GaoGiant Bear King, landing right in front of the lion, reacted swiftly. Before the lion could even touch the ground, its left hand, wielding a black bear head, lashed out with lightning speed. The powerful explosive force and destructive power of that single punch sent the previously Honkai Beast giant lion flying a great distance, lying motionless on the ground like a dead fish.

The onlookers were initially stunned, then erupted in cheers that lasted for a long time. "Great! This must be the main robot developed by the country. We're saved!"

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow. After dealing with the giant lion, the GaoGiant Bear King set its sights on the giant eagle circling high in the sky. With its two hands outstretched, the bear uprooted a tall building and hurled it into the air.

The first attempt missed.

The second attempt missed.

The third attempt missed.

Humans stared blankly as the giant playfully uprooted towering buildings and tossed them into the sky, completely oblivious to the danger of falling debris.

Ah, the GaoGiant Bear King need not worry about the danger of falling objects from high places.

(When Eden tried to teach Luming not to let her friends vandalize public property, Luming told him that she had no authority over the Power Beast, so he had no choice but to give up.)

Having had enough fun, the GaoGiant Bear King raised its arms high, its chest and fists opening simultaneously to extend cannon muzzles, along with two shoulder cannons, slowly charging up energy. Once the GaoPanda had taken aim, it burst forth.

Ice and Fire Mighty Fang Crusher!

The powerful shot accurately brought the giant eagle down from the sky, where it crashed to the ground with a loud bang, and then fell silent.

Now that the enemy is all out, it's time to eat.

Just as the GaoGiant Bear King was about to call the GaoLeopard for a meal, a new anomaly occurred on the enemy's side. The corpses of two giant Honkai Beast rapidly Polymerization together, and the giant lion, now with wings, spread its wings and let out a roar that pierced the heavens and earth once again. Its appearance was somewhat similar to the Gryphon, a mythical creature.

The GaoGiant Bear King didn't care much; they were just two weaklings, and even after combining, they would still be weaklings.

PS: The normal form of the Gao combined form possesses the peak strength of Emperor Class Honkai Beast, while the special form can reach the Judgment Class.

However, Luming was a little worried, so she raised the Beast Emperor Sword and called over another friend.

The GaoTurtle, which had been slapped away by the GaoMoon Bear earlier, flew back in circles and, by sheer coincidence, landed right at the feet of the GaoGiant Bear King. The four bears were so startled that they almost didn't unleash their ultimate attack.

"Roar! (Don't scare the bear!) x4"

Enraged GaoGiant Bear King was about to pull the GaoTurtle out of the ground and throw it again when a wormhole opened in the air, and the slender and long GaoSea Serpent landed on the GaoGiant Bear King's right shoulder.

"All Beasts Armed! GaoGiant Bear King - Scythe and Hammer!"

At Luming's command, the GaoSea Serpent and GaoTurtle transformed into a sharp scythe and a small hammer, which were then bitten by two bear heads.

Facing the menacing Gryphon- type Honkai Beast, the GaoGiant Bear King remained unfazed, raising its scythe and hammer horizontally in front of its chest, forming a sacred symbol.

"A guaranteed kill! Unnamable Finisher!"

Anticipating the enemy's actions, the GaoGiant Bear King leaped high into the air and slammed the Gryphon Honkai Beast, which was trying to take off, back to the ground with a single blow. Then, it slashed wildly with its right scythe and unleashed a flurry of hammer blows with its left hand, quickly disfiguring the Gryphon Honkai Beast beyond recognition.

After an unknown period of time, the sounds gradually subsided. Just when people thought everything had settled down, a sickle and hammer fell powerfully above a large, classically styled white palace, shattering this place filled with evil.

--postscript--

"You cannot act recklessly. Since their creators have granted you the right to borrow their power, you must try to restrain their behavior and not let them wreak havoc everywhere just because of your own likes and dislikes..."

In the Luming's Courtyard, Fu Hua's Father, who had been summoned by the angry Eden to tutor her, was sternly reprimanding Luming for summoning the GaoGiant Bear King and causing destruction all over the country. The girl remained silent, quietly enduring Fu Hua's scolding.

Outside, the injured panda rescued by Luming quickly recovered under the care of professional medical staff and is currently being temporarily housed in Luming's Courtyard, keeping company with Guotie.

But where have I seen them before?

Brother Jie was very unhappy. He looked at the six bears rolling around on the grass and was so angry that his teeth itched.

Did this witch go to the zoo to buy supplies? She brought back five bears at once? And she said that four of them were just dropping by temporarily?

The GaoPanda lazily slept under the shade of a tree with two of its kind, GaoBlack Bear and GaoMoon Bear walked upright in a human-like manner, holding a jar and looking longingly at Kalpas.

Hoo~ (Kind humans, could you give me some honey? I've been having a falling out with the Gao Bee lately...)

The GaoPolar Bear loved the cold environment here (it was winter), and chased Haiyi around, scaring the little jellyfish so much that she almost called her GaoWhale to come to the rescue, but thankfully Shian stopped her in time.

P. S.: Besides Shian, the other Five-Dimensional Sisters also have their own companion Power Beast, but only a few. The vast majority are thanks to contributions from Shi An Forest, and the Stardust sleeping in space doesn't have any. Oh, and Icarus is with Chi Yu!

In the farmland behind the house, the GaoBlack Bull that came to visit was innocent. It had only been nibbling on some grass when Stardust led it over to plow the field. Wasn't this a bit too much exploitation of its labor?

Author's Note—

Sorry, I originally planned to write about 5,000 words for this chapter, but I'm still 500 short... I don't want to write anymore.

Today, that returning soldier has departed. I don't want to say much about it, because a thousand words are no longer of any use.

May you live happily in the Land of Light with Professor Fukihara and the other seniors who went there.
