"Hey kid, can you still move?" Nahamah pulled Davien out from under a pile of rubble, looked him over, and saw that he wasn't seriously injured. When the wall collapsed, the kid saw that he couldn't avoid it and managed to hide in the corner.

"Nahamah your kindness, Young Master Nahaima, but I'm not pleased." Davien stood up and looked at Nahamah. This guy just lifted that piece of rubble, right? Although there are rumors that Nahamah indulges in wine and women, Nahamah hasn't neglected his training.

Davien looked around at his surroundings. Everywhere there was a raging fire and monsters flying around.

Even Davien was somewhat taken aback by this extraordinary situation.

Nahamah, on the other hand, seemed indifferent. He casually picked up a golf club from the ruins, swung it once, and accurately knocked away an Assault-class Honkai Beast. In the process, the club broke.

"The rod is too thin... I need a thicker metal rod. I remember putting a baseball bat here before..." Nahamah muttered to himself. "Come to think of it, this inexplicable fire is quite similar to that hurricane in South America..."

The monster before him was clearly not among the information he knew. If this was not the first time it had appeared, he had to consider whether the government was concealing the existence of such a monster. Thinking about it this way, it was easy to connect it to the hurricane in South America. The specific outcome and course of that hurricane were also kept secret.

Moreover, this exhilarating feeling seemed to come from a time when he frequently fought against such monsters...

By the way, ever since I met Feng, I've had this feeling that we're really close, and I've been having those strange dreams more and more often at night.

"Maybe this time, we'll have a chance to meet again?" Nahamah thought to himself, as he found two baseball bats in the ruins and casually tossed one to Davien. "You know how to play baseball, right? It's okay if you don't, as long as you can hit it."

Davien looked at the baseball bat in his hand, then at the various monsters constantly approaching. Wait, what's that thing with the scythe? A human? A zombie?

"No guns?" Davien asked honestly.

Nahamah paused for a moment, then nodded. "I have a gun, but in this situation, do you have time to find the gun and bullets?"

Davien: "..."

That's true... But the problem is, can this baseball bat really deal with these monsters? He wasn't really sure about the situation. He had watched zombie movies with his sister when he was little. If you're fighting zombies, isn't it just suicide if you don't have some close-combat skills?

Then he saw Nahamah unleash his power amidst the monsters, swinging his staff to send a flying monster flying, and then throwing a zombie that had circled behind him with an over-the-shoulder throw.

It's hard to believe that this is Nahamah, with his wild appearance.

There was no other way; there seemed to be no support nearby. He and Nahamah's bodyguards were either dead or turned into zombies on the other side. To survive, he had no choice but to take a gamble. Fortunately, he hadn't neglected his training.

With a "bang," Davien knocked away an Assault-class Honkai Beast was rushing towards him. He also felt a huge recoil force, which made his hands go numb and his arms ache slightly. It seemed that he could hardly withstand a second impact like that.

What the hell is that thing? How does it fly in the air? Just because of those decorative wings? And it feels so hard to the touch, the shell must be quite heavy, right?

"Young Master Nahamah, this might not be a solution," Davien said to Nahamah, back to back.

"Yes, it's already so difficult to fight these small fry." Nahamah looked up. "Now a few big guys are coming too."

"Huh?" Davien also felt the ground shaking. He mechanically turned his head in the direction of the shaking, and several monsters that were several stories high were also coming this way.

"Ai Ai is in a pretty dangerous situation right now. I still feel like I'm dealing with a small fry." Nahamah's tone sounded quite relaxed. Davien just wanted to say that even if this was really a small fry, we couldn't possibly beat them!

Should we run? It seems like there's nowhere to run.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, bringing a touch of coolness amidst the raging fire. A gap was torn in the monsters' encirclement. Davien looked over and saw a pink-haired girl just making a sheathing motion with her sword. Then came another sound of something being sliced. The monsters charging from Nahamah were all cut in half at the waist. And then came the silver-haired figure carrying a huge scythe...

"Elder sister?!"

Davien exclaimed, his expression completely out of control. "Can anyone tell me why my gentle and kind sister is now carrying a scythe as tall as a person and fighting monsters here?"

Is he crazy, or is the world crazy?

Nahamah recognized Lilith as well, and lowered his bat, which had been in a defensive stance. He teased her as if they were old friends reuniting, saying, "This feels more like you. If my hunch is right, is Feng here too?"

Lilith turned around. "As you wish."

The next second, the sound of a sharp object piercing through something rang out. The golden spear pierced through the Chariot-class Honkai Beast, and they quickly turned into purplish-red particles of light and dissipated.

"Oh, you're here. This feels so familiar." Nahamah looked at Zhu Yufeng as he walked over and said with a smile, "I have a feeling that I was destined to run into you at times like this. Feng? Or perhaps, is it just more natural to call you 'boss'?"

Zhu Yufeng glanced helplessly at Nahamah, then turned his gaze to Davien. This time, there was also Lilith's younger brother... In his previous life, he had rescued Nahamah in this area. At that time, Nahamah was fighting a bunch of Honkai Beast and Honkai zombie all by himself. If he hadn't come, Nahamah would probably have been killed by the Honkai Beast and Honkai zombie.

We're currently in a post-war situation, Himiko? She was defeated in less than a single exchange by Kevin, who had just undergone surgery. What's there to say?

By the way, Kevin feels he's in great shape right now. No matter how much Elysia and the others try to increase his training Kevin, it won't be a problem for him. He can even take on ten of the weapons that Vill-V made.

Zhu Yufeng just wants to say, is it possible that after this, when Elysia wants to beat you up, she will never hold back again? Anyway, you are very resilient now. Don't forget that you haven't even gotten your hands on the Heavenfire yet. Elysia was just slacking off when she was training with others in her previous life.

And another thing, have you ever thought about how your body temperature is still as cold as ice, just like in your past life? Mobius should have already improved the existing Fusion Warrior surgery procedures, right? Even if it was Mebius who performed the surgery, he must have carefully considered Mobius's plan. How come there's still this damn side effect?

As for myself... it seems that I really feel the same way as Elysia did after the fusion surgery with the Maheshvara. There seems to be no change, except that I have two things that look like the demon wings that appeared on my head after my collapse in my previous life... So, does that mean I am in a semi-collapsed state or that I have never figured out how I unlocked the Herrscher form?

However, that only appeared right after my surgery. It could disappear at my will, and the feeling was similar to the collapse I experienced in my past life, so it must be my semi-collapsed state? And what about the wings on my back? Hmm, it seems like I could recreate them...

In short, Elysia really liked those little wings and really wanted to pinch them...

Clearing his mind of all those random thoughts, Zhu Yufeng looked at Nahamah and said, "Indeed, it was like that before..."

"What's the situation like across Australia right now?" Nahamah looked around. The Honkai Beast that were still there had been easily dealt with by Lilith and Sakura. Wait, what's with that girl who emerged from the shadows? Seeing her gave him a feeling of unease and made him want to run away...

Zhu Yufeng noticed Nahamah's gaze and looked towards Xila. That's right, he brought Xila along again this time. As for Elysia and the others, they were heading towards Eden. He wasn't quite sure why Xila didn't like Nahamah. He had asked Nahamah about it in his previous life, and Nahamah told him not to worry... Anyway, Xila's mood wasn't very good when she saw Nahamah.

The situation remains the same; in Xila's otherwise emotionless gaze, an unusual eagerness to punch Nahamah is revealed...

In his past life, Nahamah was indeed punched by Xila and sent flying, crashing through several buildings.

"Ahem, the whole of Australia is engulfed in wildfires, but at least it's not completely paralyzed. Judging from the current situation, it's estimated that about one-third of the area will still be habitable," Zhu Yufeng said. He glanced at Xila, signaling Xila to tone it down. Nahamah really couldn't withstand a punch from Xila right now. No matter how much he wanted to fight, he should wait until Nahamah had finished his Fusion Warrior surgery.

Nahamah, as Fallen Angel Honkai Beast Angels—specifically Varuna, Shesha, and Feitian —has maxed out its resilience. Of course, it's also possible that it was overwhelmed by Lilith and Xila...

The current situation in Australia... Although it still couldn't prevent Himiko from becoming the Seventh Herrscher, Zhu Yufeng is at least more satisfied with the outcome compared to the previous life when the entire Australia was burned down. This time, he was able to achieve all of this because Mobius improved the procedure for the Fusion Warrior surgery, reducing the time required. In addition, Lionel overcame all opposition and allowed the Fusion Warrior Project to be approved faster than expected.

But as for Hua... well, before leaving, Elysia said she would keep a close eye on Hua's condition. He still felt somewhat guilty towards Hua, since he had promised her he would save Himiko this time...

Furthermore, why does Kosma seem to have reverted to his appearance from the time when he fought against the later stages of Honkai in his previous life?

Regarding Uriel's plot to Himiko the Seventh Herrscher, Zhu Yufeng felt he also had to bear responsibility. If he had realized Uriel's intentions earlier, Mobius would have simply found a way to Himiko at headquarters. He shouldn't have let his guard down just because the Seventh Herrscher had appeared...

According to Mobius's statement and speculation, it is still unknown how Uriel transferred the Herrscher Core into Himiko's body. However, assuming that Uriel is the true Seventh Herrscher, Himiko may very well be just a pseudo- Seventh Herrscher with the Herrscher Core implanted in her.

Admil also supports this view. As of now, only Himiko has lost her Herrscher. The Fifth and Third Herrscher have a certain level of consciousness, and none of the Herrscher after that have lost their minds.

Is fate stubborn...? But he's used to it anyway... In his previous life, he'd seen similar scenes more than once. He'd asked Astaroth to protect Griseo and Blanca, but Blanca, in order to salvage the experimental data, tricked Astaroth into leaving. And the Honkai Energy Astaroth released while protecting Griseo injured Griseo...

In the end, I couldn't protect anyone...

He was used to this boomerang-like fate... but at least, he did manage to do something in the end, and was able to change something.

Just as Zhu Yufeng was pondering how to explain things to Hua, Davien suddenly stepped forward and approached Lilith was leaning against the ruins looking utterly bored. He hesitated and asked, "Lilith... sister, may I call you that now?"

"Please do as you please. After all, according to the Fire Moth's confidentiality regulations, you'll have to come back to Han with us later to sign a confidentiality agreement," Lilith said. "Of course, if you really want to see Gianna, the procedures will be a bit more complicated, and you can bring her back to Han."

After all, Gianna is a relative of Davien. If Davien is aware of the Honkai, and given that the House Attagina already has some influence, and the Fire Moth would need some people to do publicity and maintain secrecy, Davien could indeed bring Gianna back if he wanted to.

Mostima, who has been with Gianna for several years, might be feeling a bit sad, as she can't live Fire Moth... But what does that have to do with her?

"And... what about you?" Davien asked again.

"Me? As you can see, Feng and I are the ones responsible for handling these matters, so we can't go back." Lilith said succinctly. Theoretically, she could go back during her vacation, but she didn't want to. She just wanted to find an opportunity to lure Zhu Yufeng out on a date again, and it would be even better if they could get to the bottom of it.

Davien looked at Zhu Yufeng again. Nahamah seemed very enthusiastic towards him and was now chatting with him, their arms around each other's shoulders. This guy had just taken down several monsters that were several floors high in a few moves. His sister was with him... so she shouldn't be hurt, right?

I... I still can't, and I don't have the right to, protect my older sister...

Gianna... indeed, he hasn't seen her in a long time. He misses his sister very much, but bringing Gianna back is not a consideration for the time being, because he is not sure if he can protect Gianna. Over the years, he has been all alone, acting recklessly in his career and making many enemies.

That's good, though. It seems I can observe Feng more closely for the next period of time. It's obvious that Feng and my sister are in the same team, but why haven't I seen any other guys besides Feng?

This is very unusual! He definitely needs to be suspicious!

Lilith glanced at Davien, hoping he would behave himself from now on. If he was difficult to control, she should get rid of him as soon as possible.
