Multiverse Anime, I Write Honkai Impact in Daily Life

"Old Man Nakiri knows her?" Luo Xingchen asked Senzaemon Nakiri.

"I've met her once or twice," Senzaemon Nakiri replied. "But have you thought about it, Luo family kid? Do you want Luo Yu to come to Tootsuki Resort for a few days? We're actually holding a residential training camp."

Chapter 51: Fusion Warrior

"You want to trick my son into being a tutor, don't you, Old Man?" Luo Xingchen said with a smile, looking at Senzaemon Nakiri.

Senzaemon Nakiri didn't try to hide it and calmly stated, "That's part of the plan. After all, we all know how skilled that kid Luo Yu is."

That's right, Senzaemon Nakiri was Luo Yu's culinary teacher. When Luo Yu was brought to visit Tootsuki Academy and saw Senzaemon Nakiri, Luo Yu realized this world had also incorporated Food Wars!.

Since he had a cooking skill to level up, Luo Yu would go to Tootsuki whenever he had free time in middle school to study under Senzaemon Nakiri. It also helped that the Luo family and the Nakiri family were on good terms.

"Originally, I wanted Luo Yu to attend high school at Tootsuki," Senzaemon Nakiri recalled. "But I never expected his talent to be so exceptional. Just by intermittently learning from me during middle school, he reached that level (referring to LV5). Although he still seems a bit immature, there's no doubt that Luo Yu has reached my level. Tootsuki has nothing more to teach him."

"Alright, Old Man. I'll let Luo Yu go to Tootsuki Resort. As for whether you can convince him to be a tutor, that's up to your persuasion skills."

"That's fine. Erina is really looking forward to meeting Luo Yu again. She even said she'll definitely surpass Luo Yu in cooking."

Luo Yu was completely unaware of everything happening here. Haruno Yukinoshita left not long after their conversation.

Luo Yu found a corner and stayed there until the banquet ended.

After returning home, Luo Yu simply washed up and went to sleep.

What Luo Yu didn't know was that the third volume of "Flame Chasers," released today, had already caused a huge stir online.

The third volume began right after the end of the Sixth Honkai Outbreak.

Back at the Flame Chasers' base, Kevin began receiving psychological counseling. He couldn't simply move past the fact that his hesitation had led to the deaths of an entire city's population.

Due to the immense devastation caused by the Sixth Herrscher, and the fact that the Herrschers were becoming increasingly powerful compared to previous ones, the higher-ups of the Flame Chasers realized the escalating threat. However, they believed the current Honkai was still within their control, so after discussion, they rejected Mobius's proposed Fusion Warrior plan.

Through the therapist's treatment, Kevin's emotions had stabilized considerably. But it was visibly apparent that his smiles had become fewer, and he intensified his training.

This continued until the arrival of the Seventh Honkai Outbreak.

The Seventh Honkai Outbreak erupted. This time, the Seventh Herrscher set the entire Australian continent ablaze, turning it into a sea of fire.

Kevin stood amidst the inferno of the Australian continent, feeling the intense heat before him, and realized he could no longer advance.

Mei's voice came through his communicator, "Kevin, our calculations were off. The temperature around the Seventh Herrscher is too high; you'll die just by getting close. This mission has failed. You should return first."

"Understood."

Following Kevin and Mei's exchange, the Flame Chasers' first attempt to subdue the Seventh Herrscher ended in failure.

In the Flame Chasers' strategy room, everyone was discussing the mission details.

Mei: "The identity of the Seventh Herrscher has been confirmed. She is Himeko, the captain of the Flame Chasers' Fifth Squad."

"I never expected a Herrscher to be a transformed human," a bystander remarked.

Mei: "That's right. It can now be confirmed that previous Herrschers were also transformed from humans. The Seventh Herrscher... let's tentatively call her the Herrscher of Flame. Her abilities seem to involve controlling fire. The temperature around the Herrscher of Flame is extremely high; even missiles are vaporized upon approaching her. With our current scientific technology, there is no way to kill the Herrscher of Flame."

"Is there really no other way, Dr. Mei?" someone asked urgently.

Mei: "There is one last method."

"What is it?"

"Fusion Warrior."

"Are you referring to the Fusion Warrior plan proposed by Dr. Mobius?"

"Yes." Seeing that some people were still unaware of what a Fusion Warrior was, Mei briefly explained, "The Fusion Warrior plan was proposed by Dr. Mobius. It's a plan to create super-soldiers by merging Honkai Beast genes with humans."

"No, I absolutely refuse!" The stubborn high-ranking officials continued to object. "If they merge with Honkai Beast genes, are they still human?"

Mei looked at them and said calmly, "But we have no other options now."

The high-ranking officials fell silent for a moment before finally agreeing to the Fusion Warrior plan.

"But there's still a problem," Mei continued. "Since the Fusion Warrior plan was rejected before, our current success rate for the surgery isn't high."

"What's the success rate?"

Mei: "Zero."

"What happens if the surgery fails?"

Mei: "There are two possibilities: immediate death, or transformation into a Honkai Beast."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Wasn't this clearly setting them up for failure? Moreover, the outcome of failure was death. Let alone the possibility of becoming a Honkai Beast, wouldn't becoming a Honkai Beast also mean death?

Seeing the silent crowd, Mei had nothing more to say. After all, the mortality rate was indeed too high.

"I'll participate."

A voice broke the silence in the conference room.

"Kevin..." Mei looked at Kevin, who had spoken, and said softly.

Looking at Mei, Kevin said firmly, "I will undergo the Fusion Warrior surgery."

Seeing this, Mei calmly said, "Since we've found a candidate for the surgery, this meeting is adjourned."

Mei then took Kevin to the laboratory and began preparations for the Fusion Warrior surgery.

After some time, the Fusion Warrior surgery was completed. Kevin was still lying on the operating table, while Mei and everyone else waited for the final results. The area was filled with Flame Chasers soldiers armed with weapons, ready to eliminate Kevin immediately if he transformed into a Honkai Beast.

People around occasionally looked at Mei, knowing the relationship between Kevin and her. However, to their disappointment, they didn't see any expression of worry on Mei's face.

Mei watched Kevin with a placid expression, and no one noticed the hint of worry deep within her eyes.

Kevin, you must survive.

After another period of time, Kevin woke up and sat up on the operating table. The Flame Chasers soldiers then aimed their weapons at him.

"Kevin, how do you feel? Are you still yourself?" Mei asked.

"I am Kevin, and I feel great now." Kevin felt the power surging within him and instinctively created a pile of ice cubes beside him.

"What is this?" Kevin asked, looking at the scene he had created.

"You were fused with the genes of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Parvati. It seems you've gained its ice-control abilities," Mei explained. "Let's do a physical examination first."

Chapter 52: Herrscher of Flame

After Kevin's physical examination, a researcher announced the results: "Dr. Mei, according to the examination, Captain Kevin now possesses astonishing Honkai energy resistance, and his physique is comparable to an Emperor-class Honkai Beast at minimum."

"It seems our Fusion Warrior plan has succeeded," Mei concluded. She then looked at Kevin and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Kevin."

Kevin shook his head and replied, "It's nothing." He then opened his arms, intending to hug Mei.

Seeing this, the researcher quickly intervened.

"Captain Kevin! Wait a moment, you can't hug Dr. Mei right now. Your body surface temperature has dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius!"

Kevin froze, then looked at the researcher with disbelief.

"It seems the surgery isn't perfect yet," Mei analyzed calmly. "This should be a side effect of the surgery."

"I'm very sorry, Kevin."

Seeing Mei apologize with a look of regret, Kevin knew it wasn't her fault. He had proposed the surgery himself, and his stunned reaction wasn't due to hearing about side effects, but rather regret over this particular one.

After all, he might never be able to hug Mei again.

"Arrange the combat plan."

Kevin said this coldly.

Although Kevin had only spoken calmly, everyone felt a chill wind blow past them.

After testing, the Flame Chasers high command decided to send Kevin alone to confront the Herrscher of Flame.

Kevin was now on a Flame Chasers transport plane, about to reach the Australian continent. He needed to be fully prepared.

"Captain Kevin, I can only take you this far," the pilot reminded him.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Kevin replied indifferently, then stood up and jumped out of the transport plane.

With the sound of air being torn apart, Kevin landed on the Australian continent. He located the Herrscher of Flame and began walking towards her.

Himeko had not moved since becoming a Herrscher, only using her authority to continuously raise the surrounding temperature.

For the past few days, Himeko had been contemplating: The situation was clear now, she had definitely become a Herrscher. But she could feel that she was still herself, or rather, her way of thinking was still her own. After all, the old her wouldn't have hesitated to set the Australian continent ablaze. She was now clearly leaning towards the Honkai side. However, she hadn't expected that becoming a Herrscher would mean letting Hua go. Recalling the girl she saved during the Third Honkai Outbreak, Himeko's face broke into a smile.

Even though I didn't kill her directly, I still hope she can survive on her own.

But, has the time finally come?

Himeko looked at the approaching white-haired figure ahead.

She sighed, "I didn't expect it would be you to hunt me down, Kevin."

Kevin's approaching footsteps faltered. His ice-cold face showed a hint of surprise. Then, Kevin remembered the incident with the Sixth Herrscher. He quickly composed himself and assumed a combat stance.

He said, "Himeko, do you have self-awareness?"

Himeko smiled. "Kevin, I know what you're thinking. I'm different from the Sixth. I'm still me, just that now I'm a Herrscher, the Seventh Herrscher. I know exactly what I'm doing. Don't try to persuade me back to humanity's side either.

As a former comrade, I'll give you some information. Herrschers are indeed transformed from humans, just as Dr. Mei theorized. I don't know about the previous ones. But I can confirm that I still have self-awareness. However, how should I put it? After becoming a Herrscher, my perception seems to have changed. Now, I naturally believe that humanity should be destroyed.

So, can you understand now? I am indeed the Himeko you know. But I am also truly a Herrscher."

Kevin: "Is there really no other way?"

"Kevin, don't have such naive thoughts, okay?" Himeko also prepared for battle. "The only thing you can do now is kill me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Himeko charged at Kevin, throwing a punch directly at his chest.

Himeko's sudden attack caught Kevin off guard, and he could only cross his arms to protect his chest.

Seeing Kevin unharmed, Himeko couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of humanity's strongest, you're completely fine. But, how about this?"

With that, Himeko controlled molecular motion, and a stream of flames sent Kevin soaring into the sky. Then, the flames disappeared, and Kevin rapidly fell back down, kicking up dust and smoke.

It can't be over this easily, right? If Kevin, the current strongest human, could be dealt with so easily, Himeko wouldn't believe it even if she were beaten to death. As expected, under Himeko's gaze, Kevin burst out of the smoke, covered in a layer of ice crystals.

Kevin clenched his fist and threw a straight punch back at Himeko.

Himeko easily blocked it, but the surrounding environment suffered immense destruction. Their exchange shattered the surrounding buildings.

Himeko had initially intended to mock Kevin, but as if noticing something, her pupils constricted. She grabbed Kevin's arm and executed an over-the-shoulder throw, leaving a crater dozens of meters wide on the ground.

Himeko quickly distanced herself from Kevin. She had felt a sense of danger moments before, something she hadn't noticed during their fight. After a quick self-examination, Himeko realized her blood flow had become sluggish. Even though she was a Herrscher, her body was still human.

Is this… ice? Himeko examined herself closely and found a fine layer of ice crystals in her blood vessels. (Don't ask how she found it; Honkai is omnipotent.)

After confirming, Himeko looked at Kevin, who had already gotten back up. Is this new technology from the Flame Chasers? And Kevin's physical condition...

Before Himeko could ponder further, Kevin charged again, and they began a close-quarters brawl.

Kevin's strategy was simple. By merging with Parvati's genes, Kevin was unaffected by the high temperatures Himeko generated, allowing him to fight without restraint.

Furthermore, while fighting Himeko, Kevin continuously infused her body with cold air, generating ice crystals. After all, a Herrscher's body was still human; damaging internal organs would create an opening even for a Herrscher.

What Kevin needed was that opportunity, a chance for a decisive blow. Unfortunately, Himeko had noticed his subtle tactic.

But what if she noticed? Kevin abandoned subtlety for direct confrontation, engaging Himeko in a close-quarters fight. With every exchange, he sent a portion of his cold energy into Himeko's body. Kevin was relentless in his offense, giving Himeko no chance to deal with the cold energy accumulating within her.

Himeko, on the other hand, kept trying to break free from Kevin, but he clung to her like gum.

Seeing that she couldn't shake Kevin off, Himeko changed her strategy. Since she couldn't escape him and didn't have time to deal with the cold energy, she just needed to defeat Kevin before the cold erupted.

With her mindset shifted, Himeko switched from defense to offense, launching a furious assault on Kevin.
