Ch-68 < The shadow of domination >

Within the next three days, chaos erupted across the world. Fifteen humans, scattered across different cities, transformed into Herrscher-like beings, wreaking havoc wherever they appeared.

The attacks were brutal leaving Fire Moth scrambling to respond. Civilians were slaughtered, and infrastructures that were crucial to the resistance were destroyed.

The Fire Moth dispatched a special squad led by Kalpas and Kosma to deal with the threat. The mission was fraught with danger, and despite their best efforts, Kosma ended up severely injured.

Kalpas managed to drag Kosma back to safety, his body battered and broken. The squad suffered six casualties—a loss that Kalpas took personally.

In the aftermath, Kalpas' rage boiled over. He lashed out, his voice a roar of fury and despair as he mourned his fallen comrades on kosm

Kosma cried loudly and the next day, he went to Mobius with a single request: the MANTIS surgery.

Surprisingly, Kosma was compatible with the genetic essence of Vishnu even mobius was surprised.

Within ten days, the number of Herrscher-like beings had risen to 93. This time, Kosma, seeking revenge for the previous assault, went alone to face them.

His ferocity knew no bounds as he tore through the Herrschers, killing them with brutal efficiency with his razor-sharp claws thanks to Vishnu essence in him.

Fire Moth's crucial infrastructures and major cities came under relentless attack, forcing the organization to the brink.

For four months, the world was plunged into a state of fear and desperation as the number of hosts climbed to a staggering 1000. But just as quickly as it began, the outbreak stopped, as if the storm had passed. No new cases manifested, leaving the survivors to pick up the pieces.

It was during this tumultuous period that Emile, Kalpas' adjutant, became a host of the Herrscher of Dominance. His powers were unlike anything they had seen before—he possessed a fraction of the Herrscher of Death's abilities, which made him nearly impossible to kill.

Hua had tried, over and over, to end him, but each time he would rise again, his body regenerating as if death was nothing but a fleeting inconvenience. He escaped when he notice that he is incapable of killing hua.

Hua, stricken with guilt over allowing such a dangerous being to escape, sought more power.

She went to Mobius and requested the MANTIS surgery. Her Honkai Beast code name was Garuda, and with it, her strength soared.

Next day , Klein became target of herrscher of dominance.

She pierced mobius heart but the soul bond protect mobius by instantly regenerating her wound.

Mobius then incapacitated her. This time Klein was alive and kept in containment.

Bronya then successfully draw the core from her without harming her in process.

Bronya even tries to make fun of mobius but she only bow to bronya and thank her.

The gesture made bronya confused and she even start gaining complex emotion.

Meanwhile, Mei had been working tirelessly on the Key of Blankness, delving deep into the mysteries of the Honkai's origin. Her research brought her to the brink of a breakthrough—one that could change the course of their fight.

Sensing the threat, the unknown order the herrscher of legion to launched a full-scale assault on the lab where Mei was working.

The Herrscher of Legion unleashed thousands of puppets, each one a twisted manifestation of his will.

Elysia, armed with the Divine Key of Creation in its bow form, was a force to be reckoned with.

Every arrow she released was like a miniature nuclear explosion, disintegrating her enemies at a molecular level. The lab shook with the force of the blasts as Elysia tore through the Herrschers, her movements a blur of deadly precision.

But it wasn't enough. The Herrscher of Dominance pressed forward, the sheer numbers was overwhelming.

To protect everyone , In the heat of the battle, something within Elysia awakened.

She felt a surge of energy unlike anything before, and in that moment, she unlocked ICHOR. Her appearance changed—her ears elongated into an elven shape, and her eyes turned a mesmerizing ruby pink. Her strength multiplied, and with it.

Elysia unleashed her newfound power, decimating the Herrscher of Dominance with a single, devastating blow. The battle was won.

Everyone thanked Elysia.

Elysia smiled, her new features making her look almost otherworldly. "No need to thank me. We are all soldier ,we'll keep fighting together, no matter what comes our way to protect everyone."
