Chapter 245: If only it could be like this “before”, how nice it would be

[It didn't take long for Mobius to stop "checking" you… After all, the main purpose was to complete this "play" and just put on an act for others to see.]

[At the same time, after completing her "examination" of you, Mobius also submitted a report to "Fire Moth" herself, which was rare. It was mainly about the data related to your "Fusion Warrior Surgery"... Of course, all the data and arrangements were forged.]

[As for whether it is possible to be exposed... I can only say that with the joint efforts of Mobius, you, and Vill-V (fabrication), it is difficult to find any flaws.]

[And there is another more important point... your current abnormal combat power must have an explanation, and the "Fusion Warrior Surgery" is a good reason, and others cannot help but believe it.]

[Combined with the various pieces of evidence you have produced, as well as the attitudes shown by Mobius and Vill-V, all of this can prove something.]

[Not to mention that now Mobius has added some reports, such as "Fire Moth" proving the "superiority" of the "Fusion Warrior Project" in some aspects... That leap-forward increase in combat power is really tempting.]

[Of course, follow-up investigations are still necessary... otherwise the "Fire Moth" will be worried, but you have also dealt with all of this.]

[Why are you "safe and sound" after the battle? ——Because of the recovery ability of the fusion warrior.]

[Why did your blood turn dark blue? ——Because of the side effects of the fusion warrior surgery.]

[Why do you always have some Honkai energy on you? ——Because you have merged the genes of Honkai beasts, it is normal to have some Honkai energy.]

[In short, since this is the "first case" and a successful case, "Fire Moth" can only be explained by you... Anyway, they can't be sure whether what you said is correct or not.]

[More importantly, in the investigation or test report of "Fire Moth", you are still considered "human", at least your self-awareness and behavior style are the same... This can make people feel more at ease.]

[Well... since your problem has been solved, you can celebrate a little!]

[You know, you have won a great victory this time, right?]

[After all, in the fight with Uriel, you were the one who took the most beatings, and the others were just affected.]

[In addition, the troops responded promptly, so the civilian casualties directly caused by the Honkai were very small, not even reaching five digits (this is really a very small number). The rest of the people basically survived because of timely rescue or hiding in the shelter in time...]

[Well, apart from some people who were weak in Honkai resistance and died the moment Uriel appeared, not many people died. In terms of rescuing the survivors, you can say that you did the best you could.]

[In addition, in this operation, because you showed your strength as a "fusion warrior", you once again maintained your superb record of "commanding operations with zero casualties!"]

[Then let's start celebrating!]

[…No way.]

[Don't forget that you are fighting on two fronts. Unlike the crusade that had many twists and turns but ended well, the crusade against the "Sixth Herrscher"… did not go very smoothly.]

[Although Kalpas, who had made outstanding achievements in the "Fifth Herrscher Suppression War", still showed great strength in this battle, the power of the "Sixth Herrscher" is too special, and the power it showed is extremely strong...]

[Compared to each other, no matter how exaggerated the power displayed by Kalpas is, it is difficult to defeat him. At most, he can only maintain a stalemate with him.]

[Even during the battle, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kalpas's power was growing stronger and stronger, and was gradually suppressing the "Sixth Herrscher". If this continued, the "Sixth Herrscher" would undoubtedly be defeated.]

[But... as a Herrscher, how could It possibly give Kalpas and the Fire Moth time to drag on?]

[The moment the Sixth Herrscher discovered that it might not be able to defeat Kalpas, it began to think of ways to influence Kalpas's combat power in other ways, in order to get rid of the suppression of the Fire Moth.]

[First, it used its power to instantly kill many people in the Fire Moths' army... It can be said that as long as there is a slight mistake, as long as there is a small crack in their combat uniforms, they will be immediately taken advantage of, and its power will spread instantly, and then kill people.]

[No... It's not even just "killed", but directly corroded by Honkai energy, and will be directly disintegrated in an instant. The whole person will directly "disappear", without even a corpse, only a combat uniform will be left in the place.]

[But unfortunately, this approach didn't have much of an impact... First of all, as long as you pay a little attention, it will be fine. After all, it is made of "Soulium" and has been optimized several times by you and Vill-V. The performance is really outstanding. Unless there is some overly strong external force, it is still difficult to create a gap.]

[The second is... the main force of the battle, not many people were affected.]

[For example, Kalpas, Kevin, and Elysia, the three of them have extremely high resistance to Honkai. Kalpas even had his mask shattered by the "Sixth Herrscher" for a while during the battle because of his fighting style, revealing the mask that Kalpas had been refusing to take off.]

[Logically speaking, Kalpas should be affected by the power of the "Sixth Herrscher" at this time, and die, and even his body will dissipate.]

[However... Kalpas was not hurt at all, and even used greater strength to attack the "Sixth Herrscher". It is unknown whether it was because his mask was broken or because the "Sixth Herrscher" aroused his interest in fighting...]

[In short, this approach did not kill Kalpas, but made him more excited to beat people up, which somewhat made it difficult for the "Sixth Herrscher" to do anything.]

[But then... the Sixth Herrscher changed his strategy.]

[It began to spread its power, causing several cities outside the battlefield to fall silent... In other words, it used the large number of casualties among civilians to anger the "Fire Moths", making their combat methods radical and revealing their flaws.]

[What a coincidence, Kalpas is very susceptible to this trick.]

[But unfortunately, Kalpas is "too susceptible to this."]

[After discovering a large number of civilian casualties, Kalpas's power suddenly increased by two levels. His violent attack made it impossible for Kevin, who was assisting in the battle, to intervene. Only Elysia was able to seize the opportunity to shoot two arrows from a distance.]

[The "Sixth Herrscher", realizing that it had chosen the wrong target, also entered the stage of "running away in panic" very simply... After that, the "Sixth Herrscher" also helplessly "exploded" with the "Fire Moth."]

[And at this point, there is good news and bad news.]

[The bad news is... the "Sixth Herrscher" has achieved its goal. At the cost of itself, it has caused all the surrounding cities (roughly equivalent to the size of Sichuan Province) to fall into "silence"... including the army in the province, and everyone in the "Fire Moth" base, all died.]

(TL: 'Sichuan Province', located in southwestern China, covers an area of approximately 485,000 square kilometers (about 187,000 square miles), making it one of the largest provinces in China by land area. It is known for its diverse landscapes, including mountains, plateaus, and the fertile Sichuan Basin.)

[The good news is that before the "Sixth Herrscher" forced its "self-destruction," the team led by Kevin seized the opportunity and fired all the ammunition that interfered with the Honkai energy, thus interfering with its "self-destruction," and Kalpas also took the opportunity to kill it with a punch, effectively stopping its power from continuing to spread.]

[Otherwise, according to the estimation of the "Fire Moth," its "self-detonation" would at least cover all cities within a million square kilometers, and it would not kill slowly, but would be "silent" instantly.]

[I can only say... the Kevin did a good job this time. At least that situation didn't really happen... Even though the current situation is already very serious, at least nothing worse happened.]

[Therefore, even though this "Herrscher Crusade" did not go smoothly and the final result was not very good, the few people who were the main force were still commended, especially Kevin.]

[He seized the opportunity at the last moment and influenced the Sixth Herrscher in time, which greatly reduced the casualties. This is undoubtedly a great achievement... Unfortunately, Kevin is not in a good mood.]

[…No, or rather, everyone is in a bad mood.]

[After all, the Herrscher is getting stronger and stronger, and the Great Eruption caused by the Herrscher is becoming more and more exaggerated... No, we must increase our combat power!]

[Everyone in "Fire Moth" is aware of this, which is why "Fire Moth" did not discuss your affairs too much.]

[Because of your performance, "Fire Moth" realized the importance of some "Fusion Warriors."]

[Plus, Mobius reported to "Fire Moth" that because she got some "data" from you, she made some optimizations to the "Fusion Warrior Surgery"... In short, the success rate has increased a little bit.]

[Due to several factors, "Fire Moth" reluctantly agreed to Mobius' request and carried out the "Fusion Warrior Surgery" under strict screening.]

[At the same time, considering the impact of the Honkai, the damage caused by the "Herrscher" and the "Great Honkai Eruption," as well as the dangerous situation of the "heavy rain" and coastal areas... "Fire Moth" decided to take the initiative and disclose the information of the Honkai to the world in advance.]

[After all, the number of Honkai inland is already very small. Once it breaks out, it will either be a few special cases or the birth of a "Herrscher." Most of the other dangers are "rainstorms" and Honkai beasts crawling out of the sea. In this case, it is better to disclose it in advance, so as not to have to disclose it in some extreme situation, which would be passive.]

[Of course, before the release, "Fire Moth" has to make some preparations first... For example, introduce the actual dangers of Honkai, build shelters in various cities, and give everyone a reason to "feel at ease," telling them that "Fire Moth" is capable of fighting Honkai.]

["Fire Moth" not only has advanced weapons, efficient organization, and discipline` but also powerful "heroes"!]

[Yes, that's right. This is also the reason why "Fire Moth" is willing to agree with Mobius' proposal to a certain extent. The top management intends to create some "heroes" belonging to mankind to make ordinary people believe that mankind can definitely defeat the Honaki!]

[I have to say, after you cleaned up the termites of the "Fire Moth," its efficiency has really improved a lot, and its awareness has also increased a lot... A series of arrangements are in order, and even the negotiations between each other are not a big problem. After all, everyone knows that the most dangerous thing at the moment is the Honkai.]

[ if only the "previous" "Fire Moth" could have such a high level of awareness and such a firm belief! Otherwise, how could it end up like that?!]

[In short, for various reasons, the entire "Fire Moth" has started to move. As an organization with the purpose of "protecting humanity and fighting the Honkai" this time it has truly started to move with all its strength.]

[The top leaders sent some people out to negotiate with the leaders of other countries, explaining the threat of Honkai... Because they can describe the situation in the coastal areas and the "Great Honkai Eruption," although progress in this area is a bit difficult, at least it can be advanced (mainly because there are always countries that want to dominate the "Fire Moth," but now the "Fire Moth" is preparing for the more dangerous Honkai and has no mood to pay attention to them).]

[The other part is to coordinate the work of various departments within the "Fire Moth"... including the training of new recruits and the arrangement of new troops in the Operations Department; sending the request for updated weapons to the Engineering Department, and the arrangement of shelter construction in various cities. This aspect also needs to be negotiated with the leadership in the city, which is quite troublesome...]

[Oh, by the way, speaking of shelters, there is one more thing I have to mention... It's about the problem that you were attacked by "Uriel" during the battle and finally broke through the defense of a shelter...]

[You really complained to "Fire Moth" about this matter. At the same time, the engineering department in charge of this matter also expressed strong condemnation. After all, everyone in the engineering department dared to swear that the protection of the shelter was absolutely fine, at least the structure was fine. As long as there was no abnormal Honkai beast that concentrated its attack at one point, it would not be directly penetrated!]

[You should know that with the rapid increase in the production of "Soulium," most shelters will use "Soulium" for protection. It is absolutely impossible to be broken through so "easily"!]

[In other words, someone definitely cut corners when building that shelter! They took away the "Soulium" that was supposed to be used for protection and used it for other things!]

[In this regard, "Fire Moth" attaches great importance... After all, it is "Soulium." Although it is now widely used, as one of the highest achievements of "Fire Moth" (you and Vill-V are both members of "Fire Moth," so it is not wrong to say so), this kind of thing must not be allowed to fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives.]

[Especially, weapons made from this kind of thing cannot be used against humans themselves, otherwise those guys who are secretly watching this moment, the "Fire Moths," will definitely make a big fuss about it!]

[Therefore, "Fire Moth" attached great importance to this matter (mainly because of your importance within "Fire Moth"), and it didn't take long for them to find the guy who secretly took the "Soulium" to build the shelter.]

[Hmm... he... oh no, now I should say it. There is nothing much to say about its ending. It served as a practice for Mobius in the "Fusion Warrior Surgery."]

[Of course, judging from the name... it's obvious that it didn't succeed. It can't even be considered a "failed product." It directly became a Honkai creature.]

[Want to know why?]

[It's very simple, it's simply because... you didn't allow him to become a "Fusion Warrior."]

[Yes, you are not allowed to.]

[Do you know why Mobius said that she got some "data" from you? Do you know what happened at the end of that "inspection"?]

[It's simple. Mobius took your "blood."]

[And this "blood" will be added to the body of the experimental subject during the fusion warrior surgery.]

[This deep blue, unique, living "blood" is the best "adjuvant" that can effectively improve the success rate of the "Fusion Warrior Surgery."]

[So... do you understand?]

[Although it's a little early, fortunately, you are well prepared. Everything is on the "road" you expected, and the "chess game" you prepared is about to be completed.]

[So... come on, everyone.]

[Blend the "blood" into the body, and then just like Griseo the "first time," connect with you, and then go one step further... connect with the sea, and connect with the "mother."]

[Finally, you, Mobius, and Vill-V will lead people to the path of... "evolution."]
