"This is the South American branch observation center. Ugar's condition has remained stable, and the Honkai Energy value is also constant. There are no abnormalities at the moment. Report complete."

In the control room of the Fire Moth's South America branch, a Fire Moth observer looked at the images transmitted by the drone and reported to headquarters.

Over Antarctica.

Besides drones, there are also human pilots flying fighter jets around Antarctica. If the Ugar cannot effectively hinder the aircraft, then human intervention is required.

Because when the Fire Moth and the Mu Continent were preparing to land on the moon and build a lunar base, there could be absolutely no mistakes, especially since Ugar was currently considered the greatest threat to humanity's access to space.

Of all the Honkai Beast, this one can move freely outside the Earth and possesses spacetime abilities that make it difficult to inflict effective damage. Therefore, when the lunar landing plan was put on the agenda, the reason for Ugar's appearance was also "explained" in itself. The Honkai were preparing to seal off humanity from Earth and hinder humanity's development into space, thus giving birth to such a strange Judgment-class Honkai Beast as Ugar.

It is considered strange because, apart from destroying a city at the time of its birth and attempting to attack the Fire Moth base after its birth, it has not made any other actions that threaten humanity. Instead, it has been wandering between Earth and the Moon orbits, occasionally entering lunar orbit or moving freely outside the atmosphere.

"We are over Antarctica, and the Ugar is still in an inverted triangular cone shape. There is nothing unusual about it," a pilot reported.

"Very good, continue monitoring Ugar, and report immediately if it makes any unusual movements!" The command center issued the instruction.

Fire Moth headquarters, Mobius Laboratory.

"This is Hen. All instruments are working well, and I am in good condition." Hen's image the Present on the screen. "Everyone else is also in good condition and we are ready to depart."

"Good luck, Hen. Building a base on the moon is a huge project," Elysia said with a smile.

"Hen, you have to take good care of yourself over there. The moon isn't Earth after all. If something happens over there, it will be difficult for us on Earth to react in time," Blanca said with some concern.

Her concerns were not unfounded. No matter how well-prepared the Fire Moth was, it could not completely defend against the possibility of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast attacking the lunar base. Although many contingency plans had been made for this possibility, the best-case scenario was that about half of the facilities and equipment would be lost.

So why take such a huge risk to carry out the moon landing program? It's because during the moon landing in the last century, some things were discovered on the moon, but due to technological limitations, it was impossible to bring them all back or conduct further excavation. At the same time, some experiments and observation devices could be better carried out and observed on the lunar surface. In addition, humanity will eventually have to venture into space, and the moon is also an attempt by humanity to expand into space.

Therefore, the Fire Moth Mu Continent had been preparing for this for a long time, and then suddenly an Ugar appeared...

Hen laughed and said, "Don't worry, my dear wife. I'm a top member of the Fire Moth team, and I've faced countless dangers. Trust me, I'll definitely come back safely!"

Zhu Yufeng looked up. "If I hadn't emphasized it to Ugar, Hen, your words are practically setting a flag, okay? And during the Ninth Herrscher incident in my previous life, you set a flag like that too..."

"Don't worry, Feng, I still have Kevin here, and besides... I'm Griseo's father, I have to come back..."

"Maple... are you also facing a tough battle? It seems you're worried about Griseo... From now on, I'll have to ask you to take good care of her..."

However, if something happens to Brahma again this time, we can let Ugar handle it. If he can't handle it, he can at least stall Brahma... And then there's the Ninth Herrscher, right... We all know your shamelessness and identity now, let's see how you plan to hide this time...

"Griseo, you also wish your father a safe moon landing and a safe return, right?" Blanca said softly, looking down at Griseo in her arms.

Griseo nodded, looked at Hen and said, "Daddy, you must come back safely."

"Oh my, my lovely daughter said that, the Present I feel so motivated!" Hen said with a smile.

Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "Feng, why don't you say something too?"

Zhu Yufeng paused for a moment, then said, "I wish you success."

I doubt he could think of anything to say.

"You little rascal... never mind, you're not good at saying nice things anyway, I appreciate your kindness." Hen said with a helpless smile.

Klein glanced at Mobius beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Doctor... aren't you going to say something?"

"Huh? What am I supposed to say?" Mobius said irritably. "What do I have to say? You've already said what you need to say, do I need to say anything more?"

"Oh dear, Mobius, you're always so blunt," Elysia said with a laugh. "Let me guess, you probably think that there won't be any problem with Him doing this, right?"

"Elysia ..." Mobius's eye twitched.

"I think the Doctor probably thinks the most important thing the Present is to find a way to obtain the research rights to the Fifth Herrscher 'Herrscher Core, and to dissect me, Fifth Herrscher," Lilith whispered in Zhu Yufeng's ear from behind, while also blowing a soft breath. "The Present, I'll have to ask you to protect me well~"

Elysia: "!"

Lilith, you tried to sneak away again!

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

I'm used to it...

Mobius: "..."

She's hardened, her fists are hardened! She wants to dissect Lilith the Present!

On the other side of the screen, Hen's smile became even more helpless. He could tell that Lilith, as Feng's childhood friend, knew Feng very well, which was why she was the only one who was Elysia's biggest rival in love.

Sigh... I don't know how many more twists and turns there will be between Feng and Elysia. These juniors are really a worry.

Just as the plan officially began and Hen and the others had left the atmosphere, an alarm suddenly sounded.

South American Observation Center for the Fire Moth.

"What's going on? The Honkai Energy within Ugar's body is suddenly becoming active; it's about to start moving!" the observers shouted.

"It is a major obstacle to humanity's access to space..." someone said through gritted teeth.

Over Antarctica.

"Ugar has begun to disengage from the inverted triangle cone configuration!" the pilot reported. "Requesting further instructions!"

"Stop it from getting close to the lunar spacecraft immediately, at all costs!" the command center announced. "Support will arrive soon; hold it back until then!"

"Roger that!" the pilot said, then looked at Ugar, who had transformed into a dragon, and said, "That's true... but how can we effectively stop it...?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ugar began to rapidly ascend. As Judgment-class Honkai Beast, it specializes in spacetime abilities and occasionally "trains" around the moon. Its movement speed is quite high. According to the prediction of the Fire Moth, after breaking through the atmosphere, it will soon be able to move from the Antarctic to the middle of the Earth and the Moon to attack the spaceship of Hen.

"Fire immediately!"

I thought that Ugar would use his special ability to "shove the missile back" like before, but this time Ugar didn't bother with his special ability at all. Instead, he relied on his own physical Honkai Energy the missile explode on its way.

It completely ignored the Fire Moth's attempt to hold it back, and just kept rising higher.

The Fire Moth was immediately placed on high alert, and all available space fighters, both manned and unmanned, were deployed. The Mu Continent also immediately mobilized a large number of space combat forces in an attempt to prevent Ugar from hindering the lunar landing plan.

The perspective returns to the Mobius Laboratory.

Mobius and Elysia both glanced at Zhu Yufeng with somewhat strange expressions. Didn't he say that Ugar wouldn't interfere with the moon landing program? So there shouldn't be anything to worry about?

Zhu Yufeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately contacted Ugar. After receiving Ugar's reply, Zhu Yufeng's expression became somewhat strange.

"What's wrong?" Elysia asked softly.

Zhu Yufeng twitched the corner of his mouth. "It said... it would just go over and take a look, not get involved, and incidentally show Hen and the others its little follower..."

Elysia: "..."

"Little followers..." Does that refer to the large group of unmanned space fighters that will follow Ugar after Kaede? Are Kaede's companion Honkai Beast really this mischievous?

Lilith gave Zhu Yufeng a meaningful look. In fact, the companion Honkai Beast still follow their master's personality. If it weren't for his obsession with Honkai, he would actually be a cunning and amusing person, and he still is now, it's just that he doesn't usually show it very obviously.

Doesn't this person realize that Ugar usually either hibernates or wanders around in space? Now that he's finally found something to have fun with, he'll definitely go over and join in the fun.

Speaking of which... could Ugar also transform into human form like the Judgment-class Honkai Beast of the next Ming Dynasty, Benares?

The mark is here.

"Ugar has broken through the blockade and is now rapidly approaching our spaceship. Hen, should we turn back...?" someone said with some concern.

"How much longer do you expect Ugar to take to reach our location?" Hen asked. "And how much time will it take us to return to Earth?"

"This..."

"We are not without means to counterattack, so let's prepare to do so!" Hen said, his expression very solemn, his eyes fixed on the rapidly closing distance between the location of Ugar and his own spaceship, as reported from headquarters.

To be honest, since Ugar only fought a human once and never intended to play with humans again, Mu Continent and Fire Moth's analysis of Ugar was based solely on the data from that one battle. As for targeting Ugar's abilities, there was a completed device on the spaceship, but whether it would be effective was another matter.

Since there was no other way to conduct experiments with Ugar, the effectiveness could not be verified...

We can only pray that what those guys researched is actually useful.

After a period of extreme depression.

"Ugar has appeared in the radar detection range!" someone shouted.

Hen glanced at the radar showing Ugar's location and said in a deep voice, "Honkai Energy blocking missile, prepare to launch! Also, activate the Honkai Energy jamming device, turn it on to maximum power!"

As if knowing what they were about to do, Ugar began to emit a purplish-red light, which then began to spread outwards from it. The missiles that had been launched flew back as if they had been rewound, and the Honkai Energy interference device that had been activated was also deactivated again.

"This thing is useless! To be effective, it needs to be able to touch Ugar, but this thing can't even touch Ugar!" someone cried out in despair, clutching their head. "How can its spacetime ability range be so large!"

Hen simply stared intently at the data on the instrument, then quickly told the ground command center, "When Ugar reverses spacetime over a large area, its own Honkai Energy will be greatly consumed."

This means that Ugar cannot use his special ability indefinitely or at will. In other words, it is possible to defeat Ugar by paying a heavy price.

Hen looked out the window again; he could now see Ugar clearly within his field of vision.

"I'm sorry, Griseo... Daddy will be flying for a longer time this time..." Hen thought to himself.

"Huh? The image of Ugar has deviated from its original direction?" someone suddenly said in surprise.

"What?" Hen was somewhat surprised.

When Ugar was still some distance from the spaceship, it suddenly veered off course and headed towards the North Pole.

Accompanying Ugar were a large number of Fire Moth Mu Continent's space fighters, which had been left far behind by Ugar.

Everyone was stunned.

With the countermeasures already ineffective, why did Ugar abandon its attack on the spaceship? Then what was the point of its frantic journey and the massive amount of Honkai Energy it consumed?

Just came to take a look? Or are you here to give someone a fright?

It was a really scary experience; I really don't want to come here again.

A terrible silence fell over the ground command center.

After a long pause, someone finally said, "Ugar... it suddenly changed course and bypassed our spaceship, right?"

"Yes..."

"So what's it doing here?"

"I don't know..."

"If this Judgment-class Honkai Beast is really a companion Honkai Beast of a certain Herrscher, then that Herrscher must have a really twisted sense of humor... Or is it that the Herrscher who has never shown her face thinks that humans landing on the moon poses no threat to her?"

"Speaking of which, isn't the existence of that Ritsuki, like the ninth planet, an unproven existence?"

"Then how do you explain Ugar's behavior?"

"This..."

"Should we continue sending fighter jets to chase Ugar?"

While another round of debate about Ugar's talisman began at the command center, in Mobius's laboratory...

Blanca let out a long sigh of relief, while Mobius and Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng speechlessly, their eyes conveying the same message: You always communicate with Ugar, and in the end you raise such a mischievous Honkai Beast.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

He felt this had nothing to do with him...
