Before the Fourth Honkai

House Attagina on the Italian Peninsula.

"Miss, everything is packed, we can set off now." The old butler came to Lilith's door, knocked gently, and said, "Miss Gianna is already waiting outside, and... Adams, he's there too."

"I understand, Mostima and I will be there in a bit," Lilith's gentle voice came from inside.

Even though he knew the other person couldn't see him, the old butler still bowed and left.

Inside the room.

"Young Miss, how are you planning to make your move this time?" Mostima toyed with the hair ornament in her hand. "Or are you really hoping for a tornado to blow everything away? That's impossible, what are the chances of such a coincidence? Besides, your brother Davien isn't planning to go with you this time. If your father dies, with your the Present power, even with Nahamah backing you up, you still can't beat your brother, can you?"

"Everyone needs to have some fantasies about life, right?" Lilith said with a smile. Besides, she didn't care about power or status... she just needed to use them to get to where she wanted to go.

"I can't wait any longer. I want to see Feng again so badly. It's been months since we last met. I can't bear to see him. I can't stand this boring life anymore. I can't wait for the Honkai after the Sixth Herrscher incident..." Lilith thought to herself. "The Fourth Herrscher, remember how her storm destroyed Scotland and Honkai across most of America... I hope you won't disappoint me too much. But even if you're useless, just showing up will be enough."

She glanced at Mostima again, smiling to herself, "I hope Feng will be satisfied with the gift I brought. World-class hackers are always a rare find."

Lilith dressed simply and stepped out of the room, just in time to run into Davien, who was coming towards her. He glanced at his sister coldly and said, "You don't actually think that organizing a family trip will earn you points with Father, do you, my sister?"

"Family should do what family should do sometimes," Lilith smiled gently. "No matter what Father wants to do, we are family, aren't we, Davien?"

Davien paused for a moment, then sneered, "Give up your ridiculous naiveté, Lilith. When the old man is preparing to let you try to participate in the succession struggle, family is the enemy."

"Why do we have to fight like this, to the death?" Lilith said sadly. "Davien, when you were little, you weren't very talkative, but you were a good child. When Grandpa was sick, you were the one who worried about him the most. At that time, you even said that you wanted to be a doctor when you grew up. Have you... forgotten what you thought back then?"

"These are just naive ideas; they won't help me in my the Present," Davien said coldly before leaving.

"Davien ..." Lilith watched Davien's departing figure and said as if she had not given up hope, "Take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

Davien has no head.

"What a cold-hearted brother," Mostima said, leaning against the door. "It's pathetic that people from such a large family like yours don't even have a shred of human warmth among yourselves. Although your sister the Present innocent and carefree now, she will grow up one day. Time will etch the years into her soul, and she will gradually become the kind of adult she should be in this world."

Mostima paused for a moment, then looked at Lilith with a half-smile and said, "People eventually have to say goodbye to childhood and grow up. Miss, it's time for you to grow up too."

"Growing up is simply about accepting more things and meeting more people. Saying goodbye to childhood doesn't mean abandoning childhood. Childhood dreams and the bonds we share shouldn't be abandoned, even by strangers," Lilith said with a smile.

"Whatever you want," Mostima said, rubbing the back of her head. "I hope you won't regret it later. Although you're right, it's only those who haven't grown up who think like this. In this world called reality, childhood dreams and the bonds between us are fragile and vulnerable."

"Looks like neither of us can convince the other. Let's talk about it next time then~" Lilith smiled and left with her hands behind her back. "For now, let's live in the moment and be ourselves~"

Mostima watched Lilith's departing figure, shrugged, and then followed.

The moment Lilith turned around, her smile became somewhat eerie again.

"My foolish little brother, he really has never grown up. But, in terms of emotional management, he's passable, I guess. Family... ha, all I need is Kaede. Everything else is just an obstacle, I can just crush and kick it away. Hmm... Kaede, and Elysia, we'll see each other again soon, and then..."

At the corner of the corridor, Davien leaned quietly against the wall.

"Young Master, this time the Master, the Eldest Miss, and the Youngest Miss will all be going to South America together, and even that old Simon will be going with them. This is a great opportunity. We can wipe them all out in one fell swoop. Then, who can compete with you?" a man said to him.

Davien gave him a cold look and said in a cold tone, "Hoffman, how long have you been following me?"

"That's three, young master."

"Three years... and you still haven't improved at all." Davien left with his hands behind his back. "Adams Rancourt will be going this time too. Do you want to kill him as well, and then turn the House Lancotte against us?"

"But Adams has already abandoned the young lady and found a new love. We have plenty of opportunities to make our move, young master."

Upon hearing the word "abandon," Davien's expression grew even colder. He sneered, "'Abandon'? 'Find someone new'? Ha... At least on the surface he's still Lilith's fiancé. The marriage alliance between the House Attagina and House Lancotte still exists. The Present relations between the two families are due to this marriage. If Lilith dies and Adams lives, do you think the House Lancotte won't take the opportunity to find a reason to kill me again?"

"This..."

"Of course, he will pay the price." Davien's voice trailed off, becoming very soft. "Anyone who dares to hurt my sister, whether it's Father or Adams, will pay the price..."

He looked up at the ornately decorated ceiling.

He remembered his mother holding his hand before she passed away, telling him to take good care of his older and younger sisters. He also remembered his sister comforting him and making him a cake when he was scolded by his father for his poor grades. He also remembered the happy look on his sister's face every time she saw Adams after she was engaged. And he remembered the almost uncontrollable rage he felt when a mysterious person sent him photos of Adams having a new lover.

And then there's Father... My sister came into contact with those things through her own hands, and just because of a single display of talent, she was forced to do things she didn't want to do... Ha...

It's okay. If Father can't do it, if Adams can't do it, he'll come. He will definitely protect his sister!

On the other side.

"Although the Honkai Energy concentration in the Amazon rainforest has increased compared to before, it's still within the normal range. Although scholars have deduced that the Fourth Law is about to descend by monitoring Honkai Energy globally, the entire South America is much larger than the Far East region last time. How can we possibly manage that?" Hen said, standing next to Zhu Yufeng. "And we don't even know what the Fourth Law's powers are. If only it were as easy to deal with as the Third Law. Although so far, most of the injuries caused by the Laws have been inflicted on our soldiers, most... actually died from Honkai Energy Corrosion, Honkai Beast, and the pursuit of Honkai zombie."

Zhu Yufeng remained silent.

Indeed, the damage caused by the First and Third Laws themselves was not significant, but the Fourth Law was a different story. The storm she casually unleashed destroyed Kosma's homeland and caused devastating damage to some cities. The entire Fourth Law incident affected most of the American continent and even the British Isles. The agriculture of the Americas suffered a fatal blow, with 70% of the arable land in the Americas becoming uncultivable due to the Corrosion of Honkai Energy! (MISSING) The number of dead... he forgot, but it was definitely a lot.

This was all under the premise that the Fire Moth was already prepared. This was the first time that the Law Spirit, as an apostle of the Honkai, dealt a heavy blow to humanity. The unlucky Fifth Law Spirit was torn apart by Qianjie, which prevented it from suffering too much damage. The Sixth Law Spirit's last attack before his death directly took the lives of everyone in a city in an instant.

Even if the next civilization era is over, even if the Law of the Void fails in the next era, the first awakening of the Law of the Void during the Honkai 3rd still pollutes the entire land of Siberia. It was only by sacrificing himself for Cecilia and using the power of Holy Blood and the Black Abyss White Flower that Siberia was purified to the point where people could at least survive.

However, Zhu Yufeng didn't care much about these things.

The disasters caused by the Fourth Law are, compared to the future, merely a rehearsal for the sinking of civilization.

The Fourth Law, also known as the Law of Wind, is completely different from the Wendy of later generations. Its true power is to create ideal fluids, which manifest as hurricanes. Just as the power of the Law of Thunder is essentially electromagnetic waves, the power of the Law of Ice and the Law of Fire is essentially the stagnation and acceleration of molecules...

Thinking about it this way, this law actually makes a lot of sense in terms of physics...

Besides Elysia's and her own.

Elysia's powers are currently only seen to be related to human nature; how she does it is unclear. His power, however, is the power of time, capable of tearing up a physics book...

An ideal fluid... besides creating storms, can also serve as a protective measure for the Fourth Law. Long-range physical attacks are ineffective; one must break through that layer of storm to find the physical form of the Fourth Law. This is why Kosma decided to strap on explosives and jump into a storm casually created by the Fourth Law.

Although the Fire Moth was prepared for the birth of the Fourth Law, it lacked sufficient understanding of the Fourth Law's powers. Therefore, although the Fourth Law was born in the Amazon rainforest of South America, it was ultimately killed on the island of Britain.

He didn't participate in that battle against the Law Spirit, but was instead assigned to kill the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Vayu. As the Companion Honkai Beast of the Fourth Law Spirit, Vayu's ability, compared to Shesha's infinite regeneration, is only in form switching... Specifically, it's like the legendary Kunpeng, which becomes a Kun when it enters the sea and a Peng when it flaps its wings.

Compared to the previous life, the Qianjie waiting for the birth of the Fourth Law are Qian Jie, who is surviving in the Amazon rainforest, Xila, who is already Fusion Warrior and is waiting by Mobius's side.

Perhaps... what we should be more worried about is whether the fourth law of death will leave behind a complete corpse...

"Don't worry too much, relax, we'll all be fine." Hen saw Zhu Yufeng's thoughtful expression and thought he was worried that the power of the Fourth Law might be too dangerous. "We've gotten through the First and Third Laws, so the Fourth Law will be no problem for us."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

He's not worried about that at all. Besides, if he didn't know about your fate in the original story, what you're saying now sounds like you're setting a flag, you know?

"It's really unfortunate that the Fourth Law was born right on Griseo's birthday..." Hen looked at the Amazon rainforest in front of him with some distress. "However, Blanca is on the Mu Continent now, so she should be fine."

"I'm going to finish my patrol duties for today," Zhu Yufeng said before leaving.

Currently, the Fire Moth is focusing its attention on the Amazon rainforest because it is not yet fully developed, sparsely populated, and less monitored than other areas. Therefore, the Fire Moth has deployed a large number of soldiers to patrol the area in shifts to implement human surveillance. They have also sent soldiers with extensive wilderness survival experience to the depths of the rainforest, rotating every few days.

Aside from those at the Qianjie Tribulations level who are outside the established order and have been there for over a month...

You're still the Jie Ge- ge. jpg

"The higher-ups say they should give Qianjie a long vacation this time, although it seems like Qianjie doesn't care..." Zhu Yufeng thought to himself as he put on his gear.

He then remembered that after this incident, he had promised Kevin to bring Lilith back to the Fire Moth. These past few days, Kevin had been bringing it up with him all the time, as if he was afraid that Elysia hadn't killed him.

Now that the World Serpent has been established, we can send Modesti to pick up the people.

Suddenly everything went dark before his eyes, as two hands covered them:

Guess who I am~

"Is it the most adorable Elysia in the universe?" Zhu Yufeng said in a very calm tone, words that were enough to make Elysia blush. As for him, he was telling the truth, so why should he blush?

"Hmm! Although your tone sounds like there's a big problem, I'm happy to accept your compliment~" Elysia said with a smile.

At this moment, the screen of Zhu Yufeng's phone, which was lying to the side, lit up. It was a message. Zhu Yufeng picked up the phone and opened the message. Elysia also looked over. There was only one line on it:

"I'm here, Maple~"

There was no signature, but both of them knew who sent it.

"I told you, even if I didn't go looking for her, she would have come looking for me anyway," Zhu Yufeng said, looking at Elysia.

Elysia: "..."

That doesn't mean Kevin won't beat her up. Lilith... what's coming will still come...

Zhu Yufeng put away his phone. He felt that he might need to worry about the safety of the people who came with Lilith. After all, Lilith was probably fine protecting herself, but it would be good enough if the others weren't used as human shields by her... No, just to be on the safe side, he should let Lilith tell him her exact location so that World Serpent could arrange for someone to meet her.
