Afterward, the group helped Australia with disaster relief until Fire Moth sent over many rescue workers. Only then did everyone have time to return to Fire Moth and rest.
As expected, Elysia took a liking to Eden. Elysia persuaded Eden to join Fire Moth, but Eden wanted to remain an unaffiliated member because she wished to help as many people as possible and soothe disaster victims with her songs.
However, because the Honkai outbreak in Australia had spawned and spread countless fire-element Honkai Beasts, and because the outbreak had been broadcast live across the world, people learned the truth about the Honkai.
The entire world fell into panic. No one had the mood to listen to Eden's music anymore, and the entertainment industry was dealt a devastating blow, because people feared that death might suddenly come for them one day.
So people lived day to day, desperately venting the unease and fear in their hearts. In many places outside Shenzhou, waves of looting broke out, forcing many businesses to shut down.
In the end, Fire Moth had no choice but to openly explain the truth about the Honkai. At the same time, it deployed armed forces to forcibly suppress the riots, dividing the terrified people into guarded zones. Every day, people numbly collected survival supplies and returned to their refugee camps.
In this era, people began to grow numb and lose hope. Even though Eden did her best to promote music and encourage everyone not to give up hope, many people no longer paid attention to entertainment, and civilization itself began to feel lifeless.
Then one day, Elysia mysteriously brought a strange Honkai Beast fragment to Mobius, saying that she had acquired a fragment from an End of Dharma-level Honkai Beast and wanted Mobius to perform Hypervariable surgery on her.
