Traitor?
Elysia's eyes flickered bright and dim, not understanding.
Of course, there were many things she didn't understand.
...
100 kilometers away, another armed base.
Ato, who had brought her here, had already returned and was standing ready for battle.
Fire MOTH had detected the Herrscher of the Void's anomaly. Although Elysia's test results were incredibly impressive, they still prepared a backup plan.
Sky battleship fleets stood at the ready.
Missiles, cluster fission bombs, and even nuclear weapons were all prepared.
If something went wrong on Elysia's end, then they would thoroughly cleanse the area with nuclear weapons.
Absolutely could not let the Herrscher escape.
"Without the constraint of a powerful opponent, humanity's weapons are useless against the Herrscher of the Void."
Ato frowned, her throat bobbing as she gulped down several mouthfuls of ice-cold water, lifting her head to look at the gloomy gray sky.
Unease spread in her heart. She had a premonition that in the future, Honkai would only become increasingly difficult.
Humanity's weapons would ultimately be forced off the frontlines before the Herrschers' authorities.
"Elysia, you'll win, right?"
She remembered during the entrance test, the girl smiled so purely and was strong just as purely.
Obviously holding back, yet still left the first-place ranking far behind.
"How's the satellite monitoring calibration?"
Ato turned around and asked.
"Perhaps because the Honkai energy concentration is too high, the image is..."
"Calibrate it quickly."
"Yes!"
Ato was clear—this time was Elysia's debut show, and also a power struggle within Fire MOTH's internal factions.
Whether to use Dr. Mobius's experiments.
Or continue maintaining large army operations.
Everything depended on the results of Elysia's debut.
It was actually like the later difference between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
Schicksal focused on Valkyries.
While Anti-Entropy used the old method, replacing Valkyries with Titans—more humane but expensive.
Unfortunately, the Queen wiped out Anti-Entropy's Titans in one wave, directly bankrupting them.
However, neither side threw away ordinary people's lives.
At most, support roles.
Like a certain self-proclaimed tool person.
The Previous Era was different—they didn't treat ordinary people's lives as valuable at all.
"Signal has successfully connected."
"Captain Ato, this... you should come look!"
"This..."
Hearing the voice, Ato quickly stepped forward. When she saw the brutal scene on the screen, her pupils suddenly constricted.
The water bottle in her hand exploded with a 'crack.'
The entire command room's atmosphere instantly froze.
Staff members stood up one after another, staring deadly at the screen.
At this time, Fire MOTH headquarters.
The orbital satellite had also captured footage of the Herrscher of the Void battlefield.
Everyone in the command room also saw this heart-shaking scene.
...
Elysia had suppressed the Herrscher of the Void.
That graceful posture, composed expression—obviously maintaining composure with ease.
Killing the Herrscher of the Void was only a matter of time.
What truly made everyone suffocate was the brutal combat at the other end.
A canine-headed humanoid monster tens of meters tall, with a savage and violent posture, pressed a hundred-meter-long dragon to the ground in various critical strikes.
The Canine God's entire body burned with eerie purple flames, lava-like heat waves rolling and overflowing.
The giant dragon wailed.
Its sturdy silver dragon scales were forcibly shattered by the Canine-headed Demon God's heavy fists, falling in all directions.
Dragon breath sprayed upon the Demon God's body.
Not only was there no damage, the Demon God instead advanced against the flames.
Both arms like iron clamps tightly gripped the giant dragon's neck, muscles bulging, suddenly exerting force—
[BOOM!]
A tremendously powerful over-the-shoulder throw!
The hundred-meter dragon was forcibly swung up and smashed into the ground.
Smashing the ground into cracked blocks, sky-reaching air waves sweeping in all directions.
The giant dragon struggled to rise, but purple Demon Flame wrapped around its body like poisonous vines, drilling into its body through wounds.
Charred traces rapidly spread, dragon scales carbonizing and falling off in pieces.
After one shrill wail, the giant dragon crashed to the ground with a boom.
The Fire MOTH higher-ups were deathly silent.
"This... which one is actually the Herrscher's companion Honkai beast?"
"Canine-headed humanoid? Is he also a Honkai beast? A human-shaped Honkai beast?"
"Could it be... Honkai beasts fighting each other? But shouldn't they... shouldn't they be controlled and commanded by Herrschers?"
"This combat power... too terrifying. I'm afraid it already has a Herrscher's strength."
"No! That's not a Honkai beast!"
"The Canine God's power doesn't have a trace of Honkai energy contamination. Its flames, its power—have no connection whatsoever with Honkai!"
Mr. X's eyes flashed with an unusual gleam as he suddenly slammed the table and stood up, shouting excitedly and trembling.
"Everyone."
"A completely new power has appeared before you!"
"It doesn't rely on Honkai, isn't subject to erosion, and moreover... the Canine God can advance against flames, which means it can resist Honkai immunity!"
"If we can master it, then we have hope of defeating Honkai."
The conference room fell into brief silence, followed by discussions.
"Watch more first."
"Immediately contact Elysia to confirm the on-site situation."
"Especially whether that Canine-headed Demon God is friend or foe."
...
At this time, Ryuga didn't know he had been targeted.
He was experimenting.
Soul-Devouring Flame consumed half of the 'evil,' and the remaining 'good' half returned to Honkai.
He still wasn't clear if he had succeeded yet.
But fifty thousand years later, a benevolent 'Bella' was born.
"Stand up!!"
Ryuga hummed lowly.
A cluster of Shadow Flame suddenly surged from beneath his feet, ghostly purple tongues of fire wrapping around the dragon's remains.
The next instant, the dragon that should have died moved.
Bones cracked and exploded.
The thick spine rose section by section, the chest cavity burst open with a boom, decayed scales peeled off, revealing newly born purple-black dragon muscle.
Like solidified lava, emanating a metallic cold gleam.
Massive flesh wings unfurled from the ashes, wing membranes flowing with dark flame patterns.
Moments later, a giant dragon with pincered mandibles, burning purple flame vertical pupils, mouth breathing purple-black dragon breath, was reborn from fire.
"From today forth, you are named 'World-Ender.'"
Ryuga patted the dragon's jaw.
The dragon lowered its head, dragon head docile almost touching the ground: "Thank you, Master, for the name."
"I am the Great Calamity."
"ROAR—"
After one dragon roar.
World-Ender suddenly spread its wings, raising a towering storm of flames.
Sweeping in all directions like a raging tide, everywhere it passed, Honkai beasts wailed and turned to ash, even shadows devoured completely.
...
The chat group was instantly stunned.
[Director Fu]: "So cool ("▔□▔)/."
[Director Fu]: "Ryuga, you can also transform into a Canine God? Too shocking! And your flames can actually reshape life?"
[Desert Reaper]: "Is there a possibility it's a wolf?"
[13th Sect Master of Mount Yunjian]: "Can your flames revive dead people?"
[Desert Reaper]: "No!"
Ryuga knew Yixuan was referring to her sister, but after flame reshaping, it would be another soul spirit.
[Snowy Mountain Qingxin Melon]: "I suddenly want to fight Ryuga."
[Istaroth]: "..."
...
Seeing this scene, Fire MOTH's higher-ups completely couldn't sit still.
Controlled by greed.
Mr. X hammered the button.
"Dead or alive, capture the Canine God."
Flames that can grant life and souls!
Moreover, transforming silicon-based life into 'carbon-based life.'
Reversing life and death!
Reshaping heaven and earth!
Such power—how could they not desperately possess it?
Receiving the order, Ato's eyes immediately went black: "Capture the Demon God? Are you fucking sick, or have I gone mad?"
