Gods of Shennongjia, Gene Ascension

The missionary's analysis was not without error.

Without a quick way to locate Flora, this group of Fusion Warrior wouldn't have gathered together, wasting too much time entering Shennongjia.

The mission is temporarily shelved, and the most likely scenario is that it will be handed over to Armed Puppet and Mechanical Force for a prolonged blockade and reconnaissance.

Even with the utmost care, sending out a small team of no more than five people for in-depth exploration is close to the limit.

The problems and crises that the Moth to Fire face involve many layers of issues that require the Fusion Warrior to take over and resolve.

A simple Honkai is enough to cause a lot of trouble, let alone the internal infighting that is always silent yet deeply ingrained and impossible to eradicate.

Mei's words to Su Qing'an were not a joke.

The overt and covert henchmen and tentacles, as well as the many conspiracies and tricks, were mostly only scratched the surface and kept within reasonable limits. However, if Su Qing'an were to deal with them on her own, the already scarce and warm daily life would be greatly diminished.

Moreover, reason and the greater good can never restrain some people.

At that time, the Martial Immortal who seemed indispensable were never worth considering in the eyes of those demons and monsters.

Perhaps this is even more true now.

This is not a phenomenon that is difficult to understand.

In this day and age, madmen and people driven by fear are never rare.

Therefore, in addition to dealing with the Honkai event, there is also a secret squad called the Poison Pupa within the Fusion Warrior's forces.

However, the members of this secret team are not fixed. Basically, any Fusion Warrior passes the internal review and screening has the opportunity to be assigned to it in a certain mission.

This mechanism is unstable, but it is beneficial to the current situation of staff shortage.

This mission targeting the missionaries was a major undertaking, with a double-digit number of Fusion Warrior being deployed at once, which already shows how much importance they placed on it. In addition, Fusion Warrior with Mental Perception Type are extremely rare, which shows how determined the higher-ups are.

If this is only Mei's decision, there will likely be unexpected twists and turns along the way.

Although she can be considered the current face and leader of the United Nations, human society and civilization as a whole is a truly colossal entity.

The Moth to Fire are indeed powerful, but that doesn't mean there are no other forces besides them.

While other higher-ups may not openly oppose her, their covert support and cooperation may not be entirely sincere.

As that young female PhD student said, this is a very, very complicated situation.

A one-size-fits-all approach will only make things more chaotic. Violence cannot solve the fundamental problem; it will only create more messes and lead to even more wasted time.

Su Qing'an was always well aware of this, so he never had any intention of becoming a leader.

However, this mission concerning Flora is the collective will of the remaining upper echelons of the Overall Human Organization.

The reason is simple.

This monster is highly intelligent but cowardly. Its [Bewitchment] ability is only ineffective against certain Fusion Warrior and people with special souls; others cannot find an effective way to defend against it.

Under these circumstances, people in high positions of power are easily targeted by others.

For those at the top, this threat is not only immeasurable, but also extremely likely to affect them personally.

Moreover, there are many cautionary tales to be learned from, including some who were once high-ranking officials and powerful figures, who were recently released from prison.

Therefore, in every sense, they wanted the missionaries to die a more complete death than Fu Hua and Su Qing'an.

They would naturally cooperate fully, even willing to pay a price and make various exchanges of benefits to ensure that certain matters could not be disturbed for the time being, and to fully support the mission execution of these Fusion Warriors.

It can be said that all the obstacles that could cause blockages were cleared, all to make Flora die quickly.

This time, the team is indeed full of talented people, and the Fusion Warrior have combined their Gene Ability in an excellent way, like building blocks.

Through the power of technology, the song of Eden can be heard throughout the Shennongjia area.

This song, imbued with Gene Ability, can, under the influence of a warrior's Gene Ability, become the medium for the abilities of all Mental Perception Type Fusion Warrior, achieving a true layering of power.

The so-called "First Kill" is nothing more than this.

Let alone the fact that the missionary is only a slightly special existence among the Pseudo-Herrscher, even Herrscher with higher Sequence Number can be First Kill meeting if caught off guard.

Based on this foundation, the girl, wielding a sword and standing in the void, unleashed the power inherited from her genes to its current limit.

From this vast expanse of scenery stretching for hundreds of kilometers, a wide and open road appears as if bowing its head.

She remained unmoved by the painting she had created herself, a painting resembling Parting of the Red Sea.

The illusion of Udu-dust surrounded them, like flames rising.

Fu Hua took another step forward, and the Dragon Wings on her shoulder blades spread out like hair and beard in an instant. She silently flapped her wings, and the Sound of Wind and Thunder and Honkai Energy surged and turbulent. After crossing the sound barrier and the Heat Barrier, she immediately arrived at the realm above.

As everything behind him receded into the distance, and dozens of bizarre Celestial Phenomenon vanished from his eyes, the monster that had been drooping in the distance finally came into view.

The mist covering the mountain seemed to connect with the clouds in the sky, exuding an eerie and vast atmosphere.

The blood within the girl's body was scalding hot, and deep within her genes seemed to echo the long, drawn-out roar of Dragon Beast.

Her eyes were lowered, and a membrane seemed to cover the bottom of her pupils, making the fiery color of her eyes tend towards a beautiful and tragic scarlet.

[Spring Void Roll] thus achieved a profound connection with the Sword Master's will.

Suddenly, several Fine Blade protruded from the hilt of the sword, quickly cutting through the skin and drawing out the sweet blood.

This is the process of the Sword Awakening, a wondrous stage that only the Godslayer Seat Armament, created using the Honkai Beast genes it has fused with, can possess.

The fundamental reason is that the creation process of the Godslayer Seat dictates that the internal flesh and blood cannot be given too much vitality.

Therefore, when it is necessary to truly unleash all potential and ability, the Fusion Warrior's own blood is used as a catalyst to communicate with and revive the internal genes, achieving the full effect of activation.

Fu Hua's [Spring Void Roll] became increasingly hot, burning the scab on the wound until it solidified and then dissolved, with scarlet blood gushing out again. The Fine Blade that pierced the flesh gradually changed from metal to the same color of granulation tissue, penetrating deeper into the wound.

At the same time, a layer of jet-black keratin spread from the hilt of the sword, covering the entire arm. Even more profound dragon scales, like waves rising and falling, extended and intertwined outside the keratin layer, truly taking shape with each breath.

This is the final stage of the Sword Awakening.

That is, to incorporate it into the body.

Only the abilities derived from this shared gene can achieve perfect integration and amplification.

Not far away.

The missionary was dying at that moment.

All the Mental Perception Type Fusion Warrior unleashed their Gene Ability to the fullest extent at once, raining down on her like a whirlwind.

Even though it lost some of its original power due to the transformation and transmission through the medium, it was still enough to kill a Pseudo-Herrscher.

This is indeed the case.

The missionaries were much closer to death than they had been in Greenland.

This time was different from the last. In her haste, she only left behind a fragment that had transformed into a regular object, which scattered throughout that Far Winter town.

Flora didn't want to lose a chance to survive, but creating a sub-body that could retain the chance of resurrection required splitting the soul.

The cost of splitting the soul made the mass production plan impossible.

A single cross-shaped piece is enough to require immense mental effort; any more would be like an unbalanced distribution of gambling chips, resulting in more harm than good.

Even now, with only one clone left, [Bewitch] is experiencing a low ebb due to the weakening of her soul, making her resistance almost as easily Irresistible Force.

The missionary is not Herrscher; she cannot use a connection to the essence of power as a passive defense for her soul.

[Bewitching] is itself the power of self-birth, and also the only high wall where the soul exists.

Flora's act of removing some bricks and tiles from the high wall was met with a painful blow at that time.

The reason this monster could realize that it had revealed a fatal flaw was because of what the sub-subbody had seen and heard before its demise.

The Fusion Warrior, guided by Nuclear Radiation, destroyed this backup plan.

Therefore, if she dies at this moment, it will be a true death, with no chance of turning back.

Now, the ten thousand steel needles transformed from that Gene Ability truly exist in the world.

The girl's joints were continuously imbued with steel by a strange ability that Soul Materialization, which then pinned her to the thick mountain surface.

The cracked lines on her skin, the frantically surging eyeballs and messy mouthparts, even her oil-like flesh, all seemed to be trying to break free from this crude constraint.

However, the precepts passed down from the depths of the soul forced this instinct to be suppressed, causing it to struggle and sway back and forth inside and outside the body.

In a daze, I could still hear that beautiful singing voice in my ears.

That is the voice of Eden, hailed as a masterpiece of art in this era.

But now it has become a deadly blade, scraping at the soul and flesh, seeping into the mind bit by bit.

Gentle, yet cold.

This song is the result of the evil deeds instigated by missionaries, the Karma of her attempt to turn Australia into Honkai Pure Land, and the future she guided by shattering the vision in that person's heart and giving birth to a new will.

Now is the time to pay the price.

Inch by inch, steel slithers from the depths of flesh and blood, growing beyond the body's shell and piercing the earth's surface.

A firm will and malice soften under the influence of a strange and persuasive power.

This terrifying mental power stands out even when mixed with other Gene Ability.

It attempts to give this monster what emotion is, to teach it what fear is, to tell it what guilt is, to warn it what taboos are, and to state what morality is.

Ultimately, it transformed into a series of resounding accusations, violently dismantling will and malice, and then, along with other spiritual forces, squeezing the [bewitchment] source deep within the soul, attempting to annihilate it.

Flora couldn't choose to transfer the entire essence of [Seduction] to the Pseudo-Herrscher Core. Doing so would not only mean that the last high wall of her soul would collapse on its own, leaving no chance of survival, but it would also mean that she had to completely separate this power from her own soul.

From the moment the missionaries set foot in Shennongjia, they lost all avenues of retreat.

But there is one more thing that the monster relies on last.

That is -- the link with the Honkai Consciousness.

Not everyone can sever the link between Herrscher and the Honkai Consciousness in such a short time as Su Qing'an.

Ultimately, the Fusion Warrior were unable to maintain this combination technique for long.

Across vast distances, the power woven through secondary media exists within time constraints and limitations.

So,

The song faded away slowly like the ebb and flow of the tide. The monster's body was completely fused with steel, resembling a deformed and twisted iron monument on the side of the mountain, barely surviving in the world in a bizarre form that made it difficult for any living creature to survive.

Flora's soul remained like a flickering ember, the link to her Honkai Consciousness unbroken. The attacks of several Fusion Warriors were ultimately no match for the power of the boy Soul Scale. Although she lost her mind and the ability to struggle, she still survived.

The reason for getting closer to the girl was to prevent such a situation, and to reach the front line as quickly as possible.

But the mountain mist rolled in, forming a thick wall that obscured the monster, which resembled a corpse, as if to protect its life.

The visitor remained silent.

The [Spring Void Roll] in her hand was like a swimming dragon, its blade extending from its body to cut through all kinds of clouds and mist, stirring up wind, thunder and frost, creating the Celestial Phenomenon of spring, summer, autumn and winter on the spot, disrupting the temperature in the mountains, and transforming into Large Sword Ring that stretched in all directions in front of her.

This massive offensive caused the mayfly-like creatures, which were essentially Honkai Beast, to sway and separate as various weather phenomena emerged.

The chilling killing intent, as sharp as a winter wind, seemed intent on sweeping everything away, ignoring the disadvantage of information asymmetry, and preventing even a trace of "fog" from getting close to the surroundings.

At that moment, Fu Hua understood the reason for the enemy's existence.

These mists are formed from countless Honkai Beasts the size of dust Honkai Beast, and they possess the ability to devour Honkai Energy.

Those Celestial Phenomenon, as if created from chaos, seemed to have gained the upper hand, plundering and killing countless beings.

But this thick fog, which engulfs the mountains and reaches straight into the Clouds, is as vast as the sea, seemingly without end.

All the Celestial Phenomenon created by Gene Ability were swallowed up by the surging white mist. Fu Hua was facing an unprecedented behemoth, whose offensive was wiped out like a whale before she could react.

This was a situation that was previously unknown.

But that still couldn't change her mind about drawing her sword.

The girl couldn't yet fathom the ecology of this high mountain, nor did she understand the limits of these dust-sized Honkai Beast.

But she knew one thing.

As long as these massive fogs do not truly converge in one area, the distance between us and the enemy is not insurmountable in one go.

Fu Hua must withstand her teammates' attacks and ensure they land the kills without fail.

This is her responsibility.

If only Fu Hua, who possesses the ability to control Celestial Phenomenon, could briefly clear a path for him to arrive quickly.

Now, the "mist" of this high mountain is about to face a Fusion Warrior force that can hold off a thousand troops single-handedly.

But she alone is enough.

After the Sword Awakening, a melodious Dragon's Roar resonated in its ears.

The Black Scale Armor- like arms was exquisite and beautiful, with the patterns of Yumei Ren slowly etched out from within, and the scarlet, graceful, and poignant color, like flowing magma, rendered a powerful presence.

Her lips curved slightly, and her fair and delicate face was adorned with fine, gentle lines that resembled blooming flowers. Her waist-length snow-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying in the wind. Her eyes were slightly raised, gazing at the thick, sea-like clouds, within which Fire Clouds seemed to roll endlessly amidst the sunset.

At that moment Godslayer Seat and the Weapon Master crossed the Critical Point where they might never be separated again, reaching the ultimate unity.

Gene Ability —the ability to manipulate Celestial Phenomenon —were thus briefly elevated.

Heavy snow is falling, and fiery blazes are descending from the sky.

Dark clouds rolled in, and thunder roared.

Furthermore, a sword, reaching its zenith, parted the vast Celestial Phenomenon of Sea of Mist, connecting the sky and the azure expanse, instantly unifying all obstacles into one color.

The twisted and deformed iron monument, amidst the overwhelming and powerful sword energy, was reduced to dust falling from the sky, and then scattered into the clouds that seemed to arrive a beat later, gradually becoming indistinct.

The girl's pupils reflected the filthy, irregular gemstone. She wanted to retrieve it, but it was too late. She couldn't even unleash her second sword strike. An overwhelming force pressed down from all directions.

Her Honkai Energy Domain shattered instantly, like glass broken by a giant hammer.

A long roar from some gigantic creature, like the wailing of an abyss, throbbed in our ears, threatening to tear them apart.

Fu Hua clearly sensed that subtle changes had occurred in the Heaven and Earth Domain connected by the Void Sword Qi.

That's somewhat like encountering Fuxi in Frozen Lake.

Although it wasn't that domineering, and its nature was completely different, the Honkai Energy still tended to be out of control and almost collapsed.

This is a situation where the qualification and authority to control Honkai Energy have completely fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Aside from the Honkai Energy generated within the Fusion Warrior's body, which is safe, the basic ability to control external Honkai Energy through instinct and the Honkai Energy to control Honkai energy through sword heart are both in a gray, constrained stage.

It's almost like...

The entire domain of the sword heart, which connects heaven and earth, was enveloped, encompassed, and swallowed by the domain of this unknown creature.

Before the girl could ponder for long, her sword heart conveyed an extremely strong sense of crisis.

He will die.

Fu Hua instinctively turned around and looked back.

Those dozens of strange Celestial Phenomenon that he had avoided by carving out a path for himself suddenly surged forth as if mountains and seas were collapsing and the Milky Way were hanging upside down.

Distance.

The Pseudo-Herrscher Core, slowly descending, was swept away by clouds and mist towards an unknown territory.

It is everywhere.

Before the monster, with only a Soul Consciousness, finally realized the truth, it was about to fall into an extremely long slumber.

The entire Shennongjia area belongs to it.

This is an ecosystem, a concept, an incredibly strange yet biological existence that is a result of the massive Honkai Phenomenon of the entire Shennongjia.

This peak itself is similar to the core of [Shennongjia].

This is an existence that is born with a grasp of a four-thousand-square-kilometer world, almost a concept.

This monster is still very young, and this is far from its limit.

Such an entity would certainly not be at the Judgment-class.

It is undoubtedly the deity of this place.

Moreover, with just a little time to ripen, it is destined to lead the entire world into the degenerate age of Dharma decline.
