Experiments involving Honkai were met with abysmal success rates—saying that fewer than one in ten thousand succeeded would not be an exaggeration. Naturally... the test subjects began dying one after another.
That included Little Sirin's friends. But... Sirin's existence made every researcher unable to contain their excitement.
"We were astonished to discover that Test Subject ** displayed an exceptionally high tolerance for Honkai energy and was able to absorb and neutralize it. The cause of this phenomenon remains unclear, but this is very likely what we have been searching for. Furthermore, the laboratory urgently requires more test subjects. We request relevant support from headquarters." — Tower of Babylon Research Report (Excerpt), 2000.01.12
Sirin lay quietly inside the experimental chamber as the laboratory staff injected her with an unknown amount of Honkai energy, one dose after another.
Anyone else—even her friends—would have died long ago.
But Sirin had not. Instead, her body developed a powerful tolerance for Honkai energy and directly absorbed it.
But... Honkai energy had never been easy to control. Throughout the process, Sirin, as the test subject, suffered terribly as well.
This day was unusual, because... Sirin's last remaining friend had also died after being unable to endure the Honkai energy.
Lying weakly in the experimental chamber, Sirin opened her dim eyes and pleaded at the researchers outside. She wanted them to let her go. She did not want to die.
She had not even truly seen the beautiful world mom had told her about...
At this moment, she was nothing more than a little loli filled with fear, powerless to resist.
Yet the researchers paid no attention to her pleas. All they felt was excitement over the Honkai energy reaction she displayed!
The experiment to perfectly combine Honkai energy with the human body might truly be
