Multiverse Anime, I Write Honkai Impact in Daily Life

After Elysia left, Mobius continued searching for information.

"Kevin is the first, Elysia is the second. Looks like I'm destined to be the third. It truly seems like fate, the Honkai Beast that accompanies the Third Herrscher, Sessha. It seems our connection is quite deep. You are third, and I am also third."

Sessha was the Honkai Beast Mobius chose to fuse with. She chose it for its flawless resurrection ability. Mobius believed that by fusing with its genes, she too would gain the power of resurrection, giving her the chance to fulfill her ideals.

As for whether Sessha's genes would be compatible with Mobius's, or if the surgery would fail, Mobius never considered such questions.

Because she was Mobius! Once she set her mind to something, she would achieve it.

However, she should probably bring Elysia along then. Although Mobius was confident in herself, she wasn't exactly a combatant. And Kevin was Mei's subordinate, only taking orders from Mei, so she couldn't command him. If she asked Elysia, she would definitely agree.

But the thought of Elysia possibly giving her a mocking look at that time made Mobius clench her fist.

Fine, she'd just have to endure the embarrassment. It couldn't be helped, she was just a scientist, not possessing the immense power of Kevin and Elysia.

Chapter 57: News of Sessha

While Mobius was preparing to fuse with Sessha (mostly waiting for the Flame Chasers to locate Sessha).

News of Elysia becoming the second fusion warrior had already spread throughout the Flame Chasers.

Kevin naturally heard the news as well.

"Elysia, how could she..." Kevin recalled his previous conversation with Elysia. "Was it... for me?"

Kevin's expression became complicated.

Elysia also spotted Kevin and ran over to greet him, saying, "Hi, Kevin. How do I look? Aren't my ears pretty?"

Looking at the pink-haired girl in front of him proudly showing off her pointed elf ears, Kevin replied, "Yes, they're very pretty. But isn't that a side effect of becoming a fusion warrior? Elysia, why did you choose to become a fusion warrior?"

"Didn't I tell you? I don't want to fall behind you," Elysia replied with a playful smile.

But Kevin knew that wasn't the real reason. He noticed people looking at him and Elysia, but their gazes no longer held fear or distance.

A flicker of understanding crossed Kevin's eyes. So that's it, it's because I'm no longer the "only" one. Now that there are others like me, people aren't as afraid of me anymore, are they? And if there are two, there will be three. Was that why Elysia chose to become a fusion warrior?

"Elysia, thank you..."

In the end, Kevin could only offer his thanks.

"Come on, don't look so glum," Elysia said, hands on her hips. "Smile more. I'll help you share the pressure from now on. As for Himeko, let's just let it go. We have many more things to go through in the future."

"Mhm."

Kevin tried to force a smile at her words.

"Never mind, Kevin. You shouldn't try to smile," Elysia said, seeing Kevin's awkward expression, and stopped him from continuing his attempt at a smile (?).

"I have a mission to go on shortly, so I'll be going now. We can talk again next time, Kevin."

After Elysia left, Kevin headed towards the training grounds. After all, Kevin had nothing else to do now. As the former sole, and now second, fusion warrior of the Flame Chasers, Kevin no longer needed to participate in low-level missions. Only when faced with insurmountable problems would the Flame Chasers' higher-ups deploy Kevin, their current strongest fighter. Normally, Kevin could only stay at the base and wait for orders.

"Are you... Kevin?"

A very familiar voice came from behind Kevin. He turned around and saw the familiar figure standing before him.

"Su!?"

"It really is you, Kevin."

Seeing the white-haired man turn around, Su finally confirmed it was his dear friend, Kevin.

He had only seen his back earlier and wasn't entirely sure, as the aura of that figure was vastly different from the person in his memory.

"Su, why are you here?"

While he was happy his friend was alive and standing before him, this was the Flame Chasers' base. How did Su get here?

"My teacher is a member of the Flame Chasers. Through his recommendation, I joined as well," Su explained, noticing the confusion in Kevin's eyes. "After the Third Honkai Outbreak, I never received any news about you and Mei. I thought you both perished in the Third Honkai Outbreak. I never expected you to join the Flame Chasers."

"You could say it was luck. The Flame Chasers were keeping a close eye on Mei, and not long after the Third Honkai Outbreak began, they sent people to protect us. Mei and I joined the Flame Chasers then."

"So, the news I heard is true then? Dr. Mei, and Kevin, the first fusion warrior?"

"Yes, it's all true."

It seemed something was wrong. Seeing Kevin looking dejected, Su noticed he was hiding something. As a doctor, even if not a professional psychologist, Su could sense the patient's emotions.

Was it about the Seventh Herrscher? He heard she was Kevin's comrade, so it was understandable Kevin felt this way. Unfortunately, he wasn't a professional psychologist, but he could still help Kevin process his feelings.

And so, during their conversation, Su subtly guided Kevin through his emotions. Kevin's mental state had already been improving after Elysia's comfort, and with Su's quiet adjustments, Kevin felt much better.

Although he had been through so much, Kevin couldn't return to his former sunny disposition, but at least he wasn't as gloomy as before.

Su's arrival brought joy to Kevin and Mei, as they were friends. However, it didn't affect the Flame Chasers.

Everyone continued with their lives as usual.

Until one day—Elysia knocked on Mobius's laboratory door.

The door opened, and a girl with light green hair appeared before Elysia.

"Oh, it's Klein," Elysia said, looking at Klein's thick dark circles under her eyes and asking with concern, "You look exhausted. Are you alright?"

Klein was Mobius's new assistant. Elysia had visited Mobius's laboratory several times recently, and Klein had opened the door each time.

When they first met, Elysia remembered Klein being a fairly normal person. However, after a few more meetings, Elysia noticed Klein's mental state deteriorating, and her dark circles grew worse with each passing day. At first, makeup could somewhat conceal them, but now even makeup couldn't hide the thick dark circles.

Honestly, Elysia didn't think it would be strange if Klein suddenly died.

"I'm fine, Miss Elysia," Klein said, letting Elysia in. "Is there something you need from the Doctor?"

"Hi, Mobius."

Elysia didn't answer Klein's question. Instead, she walked up to Mobius, pushed aside her pink hair, and revealed her elf ears.

"See? Besides these ears, I've discovered a new side effect."

Upon hearing this, Mobius became serious. This was very important data.

"What's the new side effect?"

"Mobius, let me tell you. After observing myself for so many days, I've found that no matter how late I stay up, my hair is always fluffy when I wake up in the morning, and my skin is getting better and better. Also, no matter how much I eat, I don't gain weight. My body shape is becoming more and more elegant."

"E-ly-sia!" Mobius's veins bulged on her forehead as she gritted her teeth and called Elysia's name. "You're toying with me, aren't you?"

"How could I? My dear Mobius. I just wanted to share my joy with you."

"Enough!" Mobius suppressed her anger. "If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm in no mood to mess around with you anymore!"

"Alright, alright, you're really in a hurry, Mobius," Elysia shrugged. She did have other news to deliver, but the desire to share her joy with Mobius was also genuine.

"The Honkai Beast you asked me to find has been located."

Chapter 58: Sessha

"We found Sessha!?"

"That's right. It's still active in Changkong City. The Flame Chasers have already dispatched troops. What do you want to do, my dear Mobius?"

"Still in Changkong City?"

Mobius didn't correct Elysia's use of "dear" because she knew Elysia wouldn't listen even if she did.

"That makes sense. After all, it's the Honkai Beast that accompanies the Third Herrscher; it wouldn't leave its territory so easily."

But the Flame Chasers have already been mobilized? This is troublesome. Although she was confident she could deal with Sessha, she still wanted Elysia as a backup.

"Elysia, this is my request. Can you help me retrieve Sessha?"

"Oh my, this is truly..." Elysia looked at Mobius in surprise. "But since it's your request, Mobius, I accept."

After all, this was originally a mission assigned to me by the Flame Chasers, but Mobius can't know about that. Cute girls need a few secrets, after all.

Seeing that Elysia had agreed, Mobius turned to Klein and said, "Klein, pack up. We're going to retrieve the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Sessha."

"Hiss hiss."

A sound of a flickering tongue echoed in front of the three. A large black snake appeared before them, looking to be about forty to fifty meters long.

The Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Sessha, descended before Mobius and the other two at this moment. Perhaps "descended" wasn't the right word, as Mobius and the others had found it.

When Mobius and the others found Sessha, it was coiled around a pile of ruins, its eyes closed as if resting.

Purple-black lightning occasionally flashed across its scales, and a black, mud-like liquid dripped continuously from the gaps between Sessha's scales, forming a black mire beneath it, resembling a shadow.

Sensing the approach of something unusual, Sessha immediately opened its eyes and cautiously observed the three humans before it, not attacking immediately.

Although the three humans before it appeared very weak, for some reason, Sessha felt a faint, elusive sense of fatal threat.

Seeing that Sessha was only holding its ground and not initiating an attack, Mobius spoke, "Elysia, as we agreed, you are the last resort. Don't make a move until I fail. Klein, proceed as planned."

Upon receiving Mobius's command, Klein quickly assembled his weapon. Elysia retreated to the side, leaving the battlefield to Mobius and Klein. Elysia's current task was to observe the battlefield's changes and ensure Mobius and Klein's safety.

To be honest, after hearing Mobius's battle plan, Elysia thought Mobius was a bit crazy. She intended to defeat a Judgment-class Honkai Beast by herself, but then again, she was Mobius.

However, with Elysia protecting them from the side, at least Mobius and the others wouldn't be in mortal danger.

On the battlefield, Mobius was locked in a fierce battle with Sessha. Of course, this was largely thanks to Klein's assistance. However, even so, it was astonishing that a researcher like Mobius could fight a Judgment-class Honkai Beast for so long.

But then again, as a Doctor, it's perfectly normal for Mobius to know a bit of self-defense for her own safety, right?

Sessha realized that it couldn't defeat the small bug before it with its current abilities and resorted to the most primitive method—opening its massive maw and biting directly at Mobius.

Finally, the moment had arrived!

Sessha had been defeated by the Flame Chasers before, and its weaknesses were thoroughly understood by them. Mobius, naturally, would know them as well.

The weapon Klein was holding at this moment was designed to target Sessha's weakness. As long as the attack could penetrate Sessha's body, the hunt would be over.

"Klein, now!"

A beam of light grazed Mobius's face and shot directly into Sessha's mouth. After a brief moment of reaction, Sessha's writhing body was blown into several pieces.

"Exposing your weakness to the enemy time and time again, you truly are foolish. A Judgment-class Honkai Beast? Just a slightly larger ant."

Mobius took the spear handed to her by Klein and walked step by step to Sessha's head, thrusting the spear fiercely into its brow.

"It seems my guess was correct. It is indeed this spot. Now you can't revive anymore, can you?"

Mobius had always believed that no resurrection ability in this world came without a price, and Sessha's every revival, with its progressively smaller size, only confirmed her hypothesis.

Back then, Mobius wondered what Sessha needed for its resurrections, and how it managed to guarantee its own revival.

After researching other Honkai Beasts, Mobius found the answer. It was the Honkai energy crystal within Sessha; that was the fundamental reason Sessha could revive. In the past, every expedition by the Flame Chasers had failed to destroy Sessha's Honkai energy crystal, which allowed it to revive time and time again.

However, Sessha wouldn't be so lucky this time. Its Honkai energy crystal had been completely destroyed by Mobius.

Looking at Sessha, which had completely lost all signs of life before her, Mobius sighed, "Giving you the ability to revive was truly a waste. But don't worry, I'll make good use of your body. Let it be the first step in my evolution."

While Mobius was sorting through her spoils of war, the Flame Chasers warriors arrived belatedly.

"Are we almost there, Immer?" Hua asked her temporary teammate. The surroundings were so familiar. Ever since that time she had "escaped," this was the first time she had returned to the city where she had once studied.

Hua hadn't forgotten her past memories at all. It was a shame that the fiery red figure who had once saved her from death... was no longer here.

"Mm, the Honkai energy reaction detected by the scanner is just ahead," Immer said, unaware of what the girl beside him was thinking, diligently continuing his mission.

"But still, let's be careful. Although there's recorded footage of it being killed, it's said to have the ability to revive. A Judgment-class Honkai Beast... that's not something we can handle. I hope it's as planned, and we're only responsible for recovering the body."

"Judgment-class... is that confirmed?"

"Mm, a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Sessha."
