Sebas, Am I No Longer the Only One?

In the boundless space, eerie and deadly purple-red light flickered, distorted spots and lines scattered randomly across every corner.

This was the deep region of the imaginary space, silent and profound.

"Wuuu… the Queen doesn't want me anymore… wuuu…"

She recalled her birth alongside the Queen's awakening. As soon as the Queen's consciousness revived, she was filled with joy, eagerly awaiting her full emergence into the world…

Snap!

The Queen promptly shoved her back in…

Taking a deep breath… Sigh… As a considerate companion Honkai Beast loyal to the Queen, she told herself to understand the Queen's difficulties. Maybe it was just that the timing wasn't right.

With this thought comforting her, she waited and waited, and waited… Finally, when the Queen began to nurture a companion Honkai Beast's body, she found out—she had been replaced!

The body being nurtured wasn't for her!!!

It was supposed to be for me! I came first! I was the first to be created... The body for the companion Honkai Beast, the Queen's trusted aide, and getting close to the Queen… but why did things turn out like this?

Me, the Queen's rightful companion Honkai Beast! How could I lose to that white-haired old man?!

Ahhhhhh!!!

I'm not satisfied!

… But, what could she do? After all, it was the Queen's will, and as the Queen's dearest and most thoughtful companion, she had to endure it.

"Damn it! It must have been that old man Sebas! Just wait till I get out; I'll show you!" She had repeated this line countless times in the infinite imaginary space.

Then, she was thrown into the deepest part of the imaginary space to continue nurturing her essence.

And so, she waited, and waited, and waited, and waited… for so long that she even began to think the Queen had forgotten about her...

Wuuu… Queen, I'm your true companion Honkai Beast! You wouldn't really forget about me, right?

...

Until one day—"Now, the time for your awakening has come."

A cold yet gentle voice, so familiar it was carved into her very soul—it was the Queen!

In an instant, she, who was still a purple-red orb of light, shuddered and woke up with a start. The Queen had come to retrieve her!

As the world spun, distinct from the imaginary space, a soft and delicate touch enveloped her. Through her spiritual senses, she could see the snowy white hair that cascaded down to her waist, adorned with a luxurious headdress, and the breathtakingly beautiful and radiant face. These were forever imprinted in her heart.

But this was no time to be starstruck. The moment she emerged into the real world, Selene's thoughts were transmitted directly into her consciousness.

It turned out the Queen hadn't forgotten her after all; the reason she hadn't been transformed earlier was simply that the Queen hadn't found the right vessel yet...

Trembling slightly, she began to merge with the yellow-green coiled dragon statue that Selene had meticulously prepared for her.

Buzzing~

As the purple Honkai energy merged with the black essence of Jackie Chan Adventures World and poured into the coiled dragon statue, countless pieces of information flooded her consciousness.

The Demon of Fire, one of the Eight Ancient Demons, the power of the Twelve Zodiac Talismans…

The vessel was powerful, the rank was high… but it was too ugly! No way! The yellow-green color must go!

...

Snap!

"Sebas, I have a surprise for you." With a snap of her fingers, Selene opened the entrance to the imaginary space, speaking with a mysterious tone.

"... Forgive me, Miss, but I have no idea what it could be." Sebas thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Smiling, Sebas walked over to Selene and blinked, asking playfully, "Miss, surely you're not going to tell me that you've been secretly training in etiquette behind my back?"

"How could that be… Just follow me, and you'll see."

Through the glowing purple portal, the world suddenly shifted. Sebas gazed at the familiar sight of a massive purple-black cocoon. Beyond the déjà vu it gave him, his body instinctively felt a strange sense of affection.

"What is this?" Sebas asked in a low voice, a suspicion forming in his mind.

Could it be… another companion Honkai Beast?

"Exactly, Sebas. It's just as you're thinking… And the most important part? She's the original owner of your current body," Selene said playfully, lightly touching her finger to her lips as she narrowed her eyes.

"Sebas, what do you have to say to your original host?"

A companion Honkai Beast, by definition, is a high-level Honkai Beast that is born alongside a Herrscher. Unlike ordinary high-level Honkai Beasts, a companion Honkai Beast has one key feature: it can grow stronger as its associated Herrscher's power increases.

Because of this unique trait, each Herrscher usually only has one companion Honkai Beast. After all, the ability to continuously grow in tandem with a Herrscher's strength is simply too powerful to overlook.

Selene had cleverly managed to split the original companion Honkai Beast into two parts: the "body" and the "consciousness." Sebas had taken over the "body," while the "consciousness" had been left to incubate, waiting for a suitable vessel.

After much effort, Selene had successfully created two companion Honkai Beasts.

"Um… Miss, I believe she may hold a considerable grudge against me," Sebas said, standing one step behind Selene, somewhat awkwardly.

"...." The situation left Sebas at a loss. As a true gentleman, stealing a "newborn's" body while she was still incubating and then ignoring her for years… well, it felt rather unethical.

Of course, doing this to an enemy wouldn't have bothered Sebas in the slightest, but… doing it to someone on the same side was, admittedly, a bit improper.

"Hahaha… Sebas, you'll have to figure out how to make it up to her. Besides, she should be easy to… persuade," Selene teased with a mischievous tone.

"Uh… Miss, this doesn't seem quite right..."

Buzzing~

As the two discussed how to soothe (or trick) the situation, a sudden thump...

Thump!

Thump!

With each thunderous beat, like the awakening of a beast from the abyss, the massive purple-black cocoon trembled. Each pulse caused the glowing cracks on the cocoon to contract, gradually shifting from purple-black to a crystalline white-blue.

It's almost time! Just one more push, Selene and Sebas exchanged glances.

Raising her arms, countless high-density purple Honkai energy particles gathered under Selene's control. Like a celestial river reversing its flow, the energy surged into the cocoon, half of which was purple-black, the other half white-blue.

Soon, with Selene's abundant energy supply, the white-blue hue rapidly consumed the remaining purple-black, and the cocoon began to turn transparent, cracks forming along its surface.

As the entire cocoon transformed into white-blue, the previously visible yellow-green coiled dragon statue inside had completely disappeared. In its place was a magnificent, elegantly curved white-blue dragon.

"Awaken."

At that moment, as if responding to Selene's call, the dragon's four eyes lit up, radiating a brilliant blue glow.

Roar—!!!
