The So-Called Fallen Angels

During this period, even Judgment-class Honkai Beast like Shesha couldn't withstand missile bombardment, while such attacks were ineffective against Ritsu, which could be considered a kind of complementarity. After all, Ritsu had a way to block the missiles with her powers before they came, while the Companion Honkai Beast, Jiki, which could only use a little bit of Ritsu's powers, could only withstand it with her bare body.

Even if he couldn't withstand it and his body was blown to pieces, this method still couldn't completely eliminate Shesha.

Stepping onto the area ravaged by missiles, and looking at the pools of seemingly still-flowing, eerie green liquid around him, Zhu Yufeng fell into deep thought.

Is this why Elysia didn't want to come?

If he remembered correctly, even the remains of Shesha were corrosive to humans. He glanced at the other soldiers. Good, protective measures in place.

However, there isn't enough capacity or collection methods to hold these liquids at the moment...

Hen immediately contacted the logistics department, requesting them to send some containers that could withstand the corrosive liquid, along with shovels and other tools. He then instructed the other soldiers to be careful with the liquid and to locate and retrieve the crucial Honkai Beast core from Shesha.

As for the remains that did not turn into liquid, they will be recovered according to plan.

Zhu Yufeng remembered that in his previous life, the Fire Moth had almost torn up the ground in this area but still couldn't find the core of the Birch Shesha, so...

Hmm, it feels like something touched my foot?

Zhu Yufeng reflexively jumped back, pointed his gun at that spot, and then what he saw was... a small, dark green snake?

Sakura, who was standing next to him, immediately drew her sword.

Zhu Yufeng signaled Ying not to act for the time being. He found that the little snake didn't seem to be very aggressive towards him, but when it came to Ying... the little snake showed strong hostility. Then, seeing the snake in Ying's hand, it became timid and quickly wrapped itself around his calf. Then it showed its defiance towards Ying again.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

This is Shesha's body, right?

Cherry. "..."

What is this snake—no, wait, what is this Honkai Beast doing?

"Feng, have you found anything over there?" Hen's voice came through the communicator.

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Shesha, who was both cowardly and trying to provoke Sakura, and said, "No, there's nothing but disgusting liquid here."

"Is that so? There's nothing we can do but wait until we recover all this liquid and then see if we can find the Honkai Beast core of Shesha."

After the communication was cut off, Sakura finally spoke, "Is this... because you are now Ritsu?"

Zhu Yufeng was silent for a while before saying, "It should be."

If he remembered correctly, in the next era, a certain pufferfish's Companion Honkai Beast, Benares, also fought alongside Mei? So that means that when a Ritsu's Companion Honkai Beast is not under Ritsu's command, it is naturally inclined to be close to other Ritsu?

Forget it, let's just take this form of Shesha back. As for the answer to this question, let Mobius figure it out; it's useless for him to think about it.

He bent down and picked up Shesha, then put it into the special backpack that Vill-V had made for him. After all, although Mobius had already studied it, he still needed Shesha's remains for further research. Perhaps Mobius wanted to change the direction of his research? So he asked Zhu Yufeng to take some samples back. Then he went to find Vill-V, who gave him this backpack and assured him that no one else would know what was inside unless they opened it.

After Shesha went into the backpack, it remained silent. For a moment, Zhu Yufeng wondered if he could find a way to release it into the wild, since this Honkai Beast was so well-behaved, and then command it to fight other Laws or Honkai Beast when needed.

The idea was immediately dismissed by him; it wasn't realistic. First, Shesha was close to him, the lawyer. How could he explain his ability to command Shesha? Second, just because he was a lawyer, did that mean other lawyers weren't? If he could command other lawyers, couldn't he do the same?

So... it will probably still be dissected by Mobius.

"Um... Kaede." Sakura, who had been silent the whole way, suddenly spoke up, "Are you and Lilith really not lovers?"

"Huh? Didn't Elysia say that?" Zhu Yufeng was a little confused. "Lilith and I are indeed not lovers. At least, before the Tragedy of Binding, I never had any thoughts of that."

Sakura secretly breathed a sigh of relief, though she didn't know why she felt relieved.

She kept thinking about this question on her way here, and she felt that Feng might not have told the truth because he was threatened by Elysia's gaze. After that, she felt a tightness in her chest.

After all, Lilith even made love chocolates...

However, since Xinfeng said no, then no.

After a while, Sakura spoke again, "Kaede, how did you and Lilith meet?" She didn't mean anything by it; she was just curious...

Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment and replied, "Ah, how did I meet Lilith... well, it's nothing much. She's someone I rescued during a mission, um, that's it."

"Oh, Heroes saving a damsel in distress, I can understand." Sakura nodded. As for whether Maple was telling the truth, whatever Maple says goes. If Maple thinks she doesn't need to know, then she doesn't need to know. Yeah, that's it.

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Ying. In fact, he had only stated the surface facts. As for the truth... he felt it was not necessary to reveal it for the time being.

The Thirteen Fallen Angels"Fallen Angel" wasn't coined casually; it was because all thirteen of them, including him, were Evil and sinful beings.

Take Lilith for example. On the surface, she rescued herself during a Honkai event, but in reality, she wasn't Lilith only survivor at the scene.

He watched as Lilith killed her own father, who was trapped under the rubble, then her fiancé, and then, in front of him, she killed others.

After listening to Lilith's explanation, she realized that she was merely a tool cultivated for a marriage alliance. However, she did not want to live her entire life like a doll, so the Honkai was actually an opportunity for her to break free from her constraints.

He didn't care; he only cared about saving people. He didn't care if those people he was saving killed each other. At the time, he thought that those people who could drive a girl to such a point were probably not good people either.

"After all, this is the former Ming Dynasty."

Later, she learned that the fiancé was quite innocent; Lilith only wanted to kill him to silence him.

After that, Lilith added the Fire Moth.

Then there's Xila, another key attacker among the Thirteen Fallen Angels. She's an assassin trained from childhood by a certain organization. This training means that out of a thousand children, only one can survive through continuous selection.

Or, speaking of Esmodius... he didn't know why Lilith would want to recruit her into the team. Although she was very obedient in the team, the problem was... she had a personality disorder. She would get excited during battles and then indiscriminately kill friend and foe. She could also go insane when provoked. Before joining the Fallen Angel Squad, she was a death row inmate.

Next was Beelzebub, a fanatical warmonger, much like Qianjie, but even more insane. He was the kind of person who would actively seek out people to kill, and he was also a death row inmate. On the first day of the team, they challenged him to a life-or-death duel, and he was beaten half to a pulp. They beat him several more times before he was truly convinced of his superiority.

And Nahamah, Rovoc, Astaroth...

In short, apart from him, every one of the Thirteen Fallen Angels had innocent blood on their hands before becoming Fusion Warrior. And he himself wasn't much better off, with his involvement in the later Rebel Army purge and the behind-the-scenes machinations of the Twelfth Law incident.

But... thinking about it this way, it seems some of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers weren't much better...

No, most members of the Fallen Angel Squad are more inclined to have subjective malice.

Kevin asked him to form the Fallen Angel Squad now. He thought about it seriously. He hadn't considered it before because he was worried about Elysia and the others. Now that Kevin was taking the blame anyway, he concluded that it was better not to consider forming it for the time being.
