Chapter 144: Shedding Wings, Embracing Rebirth
***
“Hmph, even a Herrscher will bow before the weapons we take such pride in!”
Standing on the warship, a classic middle-aged British man in white military uniform gazed at the towering mushroom cloud rising into the sky in the direction of Tonga Island. He looked so confident and smug, his tone revealing a hint of disdain for the so-called Herrscher.
— Gessar, a general of the North Arican faction, and also one of the military leaders responsible for North Arican forces.
The ever-increasing large and small Honkai eruptions occurring globally were gradually eroding the world that had been dominated by North Arica, causing the influence of the Western world to decline rapidly.
Under the prerequisite of not exposing the existence of Honkai, they absolutely needed to achieve an inspiring victory.
Ending the Fourth Eruption — yes, whether in the dia or in the Honkai truth that might be revealed in the near future, this could secure enormous dominance for North Arica.
Therefore, even if Vill-V hadn’t lobbied various countries, North Arica had already been eager to personally intervene in this disaster against Honkai.
Always letting Fire Moth, that trained rescue dog, take the field — what’s the point? They were the masters!
Moreover, New Zealand was also a mber of the West. For this disaster affecting an entire country, they absolutely had to make certain gestures and responses, otherwise how would they lead the team in the future?
— They adopted Vill-V’s suggestion.
Military exercises were the most direct way to flex muscles, and it also aligned with North Arican interests — however, although they had various selfish motives and didn’t take the so-called Herrscher seriously.
They weren’t foolish enough to just mobilize armies. While mobilizing nearby fleets, they secretly added an insurance policy.
— First use high-power weapons to finish off the 4th Herrscher!
They were indeed bad, but not stupid.
The First Herrscher, who had erged before Fire Moth was even established, had already taught all countries a lesson.
When dealing with such supernatural entities, trying to face them head-on with normal thods would only result in massive losses.
The combined fleet that North Arica assembled was for flexing muscles and picking fruits — who would fight a hard battle with you?
If several important ships were lost during combat, or even more boldly… if they were completely annihilated, the dostic voters could probably directly storm the presidential palace with shotguns afterward.
The political upper echelons only wanted to flex muscles and pick fruits, the military didn’t want to fight hard battles. With unified opinions, the final result was — first use the thod they used against the First Herrscher to send off the 4th Herrscher, then their combined fleet could go circle around and cruise leisurely.
This way, at most the waves would be a bit bigger — why not?
Fire Moth? Heh.
— This unexpected change made Dr. I, who was far away in the Alps, unable to maintain her composure.
Tonga wasn’t far from New Zealand, so even though she was on the south coast of New Zealand, she could feel the tremors between tectonic plates caused by the super-large-yield nuclear explosion triggering underwater volcanic eruptions.
The towering volcanic ash made the already gloomy weather even more overcast, with not a trace of light visible.
“Elysia!”
With I’s personality, she should maintain absolute calm and absolute rationality no matter when or where.
But the consequences this unexpected change might cause made it impossible for her to calm down no matter what.
That kind of yield, that reaction ti, plus it was during a weakened period after fighting Wendy with little Honkai energy remaining — even if it was 【Elysia】, she found it hard to imagine how ‘Elysia’ would cope.
“Calm down.”
“This doesn’t look like you at all, I.”
The light rebuke that sounded in her ear made Dr. I co to her senses. She looked over to see a green-haired beauty in a white lab coat with a generous bosom.
She frowned at the forr with so displeasure, while the latter paused after hearing this, regained so composure, and responded:
“You’re back, Dr. Mobius.”
“How is the work progressing?”
Her voice was extrely calm, but the trembling between the lines showed that this intellectual girl’s inner state wasn’t as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
After all, the current I was still young. Even if she forcibly maintained that absolutely rational trait, the emotional part wasn’t so easily suppressed.
She could only force herself to stay calm to maintain the situation, since she was now the central hub.
This work should have originally been handled by Dr. Mobius. Whether in experience or qualifications, the forr was more suitable than her, but it still fell into her hands — Dr. Mobius also placed great expectations on her.
“Thanks to that annoying woman, the cald weather made my work here much easier… Really, I’m clearly a researcher, yet I still need to specially run to the front lines. My experint was at a very crucial stage.”
Complaining like this, Mobius said this, but there wasn’t much bla in her eyes. She looked toward Tonga Island: “I already know everything from Vill-V.”
“You don’t need to worry too much about her. That annoying woman has incredible luck.”
“…She can’t possibly have an accident.”
The seemingly indifferent Snake slowly clenched her fists under her sleeves, the pain of nails digging into flesh accompanied by drops of blood falling to the ground.
Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow, as if sensing sothing.
Turning her head, I currently had the sa expression.
— Compared to Mobius, who was human but had already begun certain experints and thus gained shallow Honkai energy perception abilities, her senses as a Herrscher were much more intense at this mont.
“So strong.”
Biting her lip, looking toward the direction of that Honkai energy reaction source, I unconsciously voiced this.
It wasn’t just her and them in New Zealand who felt this incredibly powerful Honkai energy.
The sa was true for Fire Moth branches located around the world.
At this mont.
All Honkai energy detection instrunts simultaneously emitted piercing shrieks, and many older model Honkai energy detectors directly broke down after a series of beeping sounds, emitting a burnt sll and black smoke before being scrapped.
Although extrely shocked, Mobius laughed:
“It seems we don’t need to worry about that annoying woman anymore.”
“Mm.”
“Since that’s the case, we should also drag out those guys hiding in the shadows.”
I, in a great mood, showed a smile, but it looked so cold.
