Mutation

Canghai City.

Among the crowd waiting for arrangements.

"That's why I said, Hua, you were really cool before." The brown-skinned girl excitedly surrounded Hua and kept talking. "Like this, bang! slap! You knocked down a monster in two moves! So cool, even though you're a girl, I'm a little smitten with you."

Hua looked at the girl and gave a wry smile, "Ah, it's nothing, Carol..."

Several months have passed since then, and the Third Honkai Eruption the Present has arrived as scheduled. She tried to change her fate and keep her father away from places where he might come into contact with Honkai Energy, but her father still contracted Honkai Disease.

There is no cure.

Everything was proceeding according to the original trajectory of fate.

The aftershocks of the Present Third Honkai Eruption have finally reached Canghai City, which is closest to Changkong City. The government has begun to arrange for residents to take emergency evacuations. Carol is a girl that she casually rescued on her way to take evacuation.

This is the same as the previous one.

Even though she had used Feather Dust to erase many memories in the previous incident, she still remembered this girl. They had joined the Fire Moth together, and later... Carol sacrificed herself in the Seventh Herrscher Incident. In that incident, she was the only one in the entire team to survive and persevere to the end.

Hua had always wondered why it was her who was chosen. If it were Feng, Kevin, or Elysia, they could have done better than her, right?

Maple...

She recalled the man's unwavering figure during the Finality battle.

"Feng, your body is already..."

"Are you saying I can't hold on any longer? Are you saying humanity has been utterly defeated? Stand tall, Hua. Humanity will live on forever, and I will pave the way for humanity!"

Is this humanity's future path?

Where exactly does humanity's so-called path forward lead? Maple, does the path you sought to open up, the path you anticipated, the path you placed your hopes on... truly exist?

The girl didn't know the answer to this question. She had always been used to obeying orders, and occasionally she would look up at the people walking ahead of her.

Compared to them, she possessed neither outstanding talent nor unwavering conviction...

In the end, it was this mediocre girl who survived.

Maple, how I wish I could hear your voice, hear your answer. If you could answer, would humanity have a chance to defeat the Honkai?

The headquarters of the Fire Moth.

"So... Sakura danced with you in the courtyard? Just the two of you?" Elysia asked, stirring her milk tea with a straw.

"That's right, I share the same opinion as her. Even the Present, I'm still a little scared. I'm still not used to that kind of scene." Zhu Yufeng checked the time. "It's already seven o'clock. Why hasn't Dr. Mobius gotten up yet?"

"After all, she was quite angry yesterday," Elysia said with a smile. "If I'm not mistaken, she probably had a drink after she got back, right?"

"Oh." Zhu Yufeng nodded, taking out his schedule for the day. "So, correspondingly, I'll be making instant noodles for her today..."

"Elysia ..." Mobius's voice rang out through gritted teeth, "What nonsense are you and Yu Feng spouting!"

If she had arrived any later, her instant noodles would have been gone!

"I'm just telling the truth~" Elysia shrugged. "After all, our Dr. Mobius always likes to drink a little when he's brooding."

When she saw Zhu Yufeng looking over, Mobius vehemently refused to admit that she had indeed drunk a little yesterday and got drunk after just a few sips of alcohol, and that she had been woken up today by Klein's best efforts.

She simply said, "Hmph, it's just a dance, what's there for me to be angry about?"

Elysia's lips curled into a mischievous smile, "But I didn't say why you were sulking~"

Mobius: "... Elysia!"

How infuriating! She obviously doesn't get along with Elysia!

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and all three turned their gazes toward the direction of the sound. A squad of fully armed Fire Moth Warriors ran past them.

Vincent was the leader.

As he passed by them, Vincent greeted the three men in a friendly manner, then hurried away.

Zhu Yufeng immediately took out his equipment and began to look up information.

"Did you send something?" Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng, and then Mobius, who was standing next to Zhu Yufeng, suddenly had a good idea. She leaned down slightly and pretended to look at the message with Zhu Yufeng, thus forming a subtle posture between the two of them.

Elysia: "!"

Zhu Yufeng didn't react much. After reading the message, he simply said, "It's nothing. A small coastal city in the Indian Ocean has experienced a gathering of Honkai Energy. It's speculated that Honkai might be Honkai there. Hmm, Vincent... they must have gone there to investigate."

Elysia squinted at Zhu Yufeng: "Vincent just greeted you yesterday, right? You've already forgotten? What's wrong with Feng's memory?"

Zhu Yufeng remained silent.

You can't say he never bothered to remember the name, can you? It's already quite good that he remembered the name Vincent.

Visakha City, a coastal city on the Indian Ocean.

Visakha City is a newly emerging coastal town. Due to its convenient transportation, the local government plans to further expand its foreign trade routes through this city.

But the anomaly occurred in such a thriving city.

The first person to notice something was wrong was a child. He just happened to look up at the sky and found that the sky looked like it had been shattered, with a huge hole in it.

Then people looked up and saw a black, inverted triangular cone-shaped floating object in the large hole. Each side of it had a crystal-like object emitting different colored light, and each edge had a crystal emitting white light.

"It's a UFO!" someone shouted.

People took out their phones, wanting to capture the scene. When the liaison officer of the Fire Moth stationed in Visakha City saw the inverted triangular cone-shaped object, he immediately became alert. His experience told him that this was definitely not a UFO, but a Honkai Beast that he had seen before!

He immediately wanted to contact the Fire Moth and spread the news.

But time stood still at that moment forever.

Honkai, it's gone bad.

Upon receiving the news, the government immediately blocked all roads leading to Vishka, effectively suppressing the news of the Honkai, and the army also amassed near the Visakha City.

All the soldiers were given a death order, forbidding them from revealing anything they had seen. Lacking experience in Honkai the Honkai, the government could only send troops to surround Visakha City and wait for the Fire Moth's support.

The Fire Moth very quickly. To be precise, they dispatched a team to investigate as soon as they detected the Honkai Energy gathering, but the speed at which the Honkai far Fire Moth's expectations.

Therefore, after Vincent arrived in a city near Visakha City, he reported the situation to the headquarters of the Fire Moth. He would lead his squad to investigate Visakha City, and the Fire Moth would also send more soldiers from the Indian Ocean branch to reinforce them.

After ending the call, Vincent looked at his deputy beside him. "Scott, how's the situation?"

Scott frowned as he looked at the data on the instrument. "This isn't good, Captain. The instrument's readings show that Honkai Energy is gathering in the city center, and a high-level reaction has occurred there..."

Vincent's eyes narrowed. He knew what Scott meant. This situation meant that more than one Emperor-class Honkai Beast would be born. If there was enough time, according to the research results uploaded by Dr. Mobius to the Fire Moth, it was even possible that Judgment-class Honkai Beast would be born!

This is troublesome...

He contacted headquarters again, requesting more support just in case.

Then he led his squad into the Visakha City.

During his infiltration of Visakha City, he maintained constant contact with headquarters to ensure that the analysts there received firsthand intelligence.

The team members checked the houses outside one by one, and when they gathered together, they came to a strange conclusion: it seemed that everyone in the city had vanished in an instant.

There was no one on the surrounding streets, and no one in the houses.

It was completely wiped clean.

Meanwhile, the Honkai Energy concentration on the outskirts of Visakha City has returned to normal.

Vincent took a deep breath and led his team deeper into the city center in vehicles capable of withstanding Honkai Corrosion.

When they were halfway through their journey, they finally spotted human figures, but everyone remained motionless in one position. Vincent looked up and saw an inverted triangular cone-shaped object suspended above the city center.

He immediately took photos and sent them back to the Fire Moth. At the same time, Scott, the adjutant who had checked all the humans, reported an even more frightening message to him, "Everyone has turned into something like Honkai Energy storage container, and can be confirmed as dead."

As they spoke, figures gradually turned into beams of light and disappeared, only to be absorbed by the inverted triangular cone-shaped object.

"There's no time to lose, we must stop its birth!" Vincent gave the order, and all the reconnaissance team members immediately boarded vehicles and headed towards the city center at maximum speed.

Vincent was calm and composed; he knew very well that his life might end here.

This vehicle is equipped with special bombs designed to Honkai Beast. If necessary, they will launch a suicide attack. Even if they cannot stop the birth of this Honkai Beast, they will stop its evolution into an Emperor-class Honkai Beast!
