Chapter 93: The Adorable Mobius
***
In the towering cityscape of Nagazora City, not a soul could be seen at this mont.
But listening to those heavy trampling sounds, what could be seen were terrifyingly enormous Honkai Beasts that filled one with dread.
Chariot-class Honkai Beasts as massive as Maus tanks, Knight-class Honkai Beasts as tall as half a building, and scattered about, Seraph-class Honkai Beasts the size of a person.
For the current warriors of Fire Moth, these were all enemies that required risking their lives to eliminate.
Himiko’s invitation, though born from sincere intentions, was actually also making an agreent with Jiang Qiao to survive this great Honkai eruption.
In this perilous land filled with danger, the girl strolled leisurely as if she were in that Siberian snowfield.
It was just that compared to then, without the thick snow, the path felt much easier to walk.
As a Herrscher, those Honkai Beasts would regard him as their kind.
But—
“I’m not your companion, you know.”
Gently brushing her palm across a Honkai Emperor several stories tall, the pink girl chuckled softly, Honkai Energy particle effects flowing through the gaps between her fingers.
Behind her, a massive manta ray spread its wings and rose up, wantonly attacking those bewildered Honkai Beasts.
— This way, the pressure on Fire Moth’s other squads would be lessened as well.
This smooth advance finally ca to an end at a certain mont.
“What’s this, I originally thought it was the 3rd Herrscher, but it turns out to be just a Honkai Beast?”
The paused 【Elysia】 gazed at the massive creature perched on a building not far away, unable to help but sigh.
Its bloated body oozed with pitch-black substance that couldn’t be clearly discerned, but that seemingly viscous coloration made one wonder if certain North Arican countries would feel ecstatic upon seeing it.
But compared to that ominous dark ink, what drew more attention was obviously that ferocious, twisted snake head, and those eyes that radiated brutality and were filled with destructive desire.
Unlike those small fry Honkai Beasts from before, when facing 【Elysia】 as a Herrscher.
The big guy showed no intention of ignoring her whatsoever, instead suddenly letting out a sharp, hissing roar toward the pink girl.
The powerful sound waves mixed with traces of electrical current and whirlwinds, causing both her pink bangs and the low ponytail tied with a flower hairclip behind her to scatter and flutter about.
“Oh my, while I can understand that getting extrely excited upon seeing a beautiful girl like is inevitable, this kind of novel greeting thod is still a bit too intense for a girl, you know~”
The smiling 【Elysia】 gently brushed through her bangs, her tone carrying so dissatisfaction and helpless complaint:
“Look, you’ve ssed up my hairstyle.”
“Elysia, what’s the situation on your end?”
Dr. I from the portable communicator noticed the abnormality on Jiang Qiao’s side and actively inquired.
“Nothing much, just a big guy getting a bit too enthusiastic after seeing a cute girl.”
— During their chat, the girl’s original position had been replaced by a crater over a ter deep, filled with charred marks, with static electricity still crackling faintly in the air.
“Sorry, I encountered a sowhat troubleso big guy, I might need to get serious, we’ll chat later, I.”
Lightly touching the communication device by her ear, the pink girl standing on the Spirit of Origin and ascending to the sky to look down at the giant snake below had her blue eyes reflecting the hissing lightning, pouting as she began to criticize:
“Suddenly attacking while others are chatting is very bad!”
Of course, the giant snake obviously lacked the taste and interest to appreciate this performance by 【Elysia】, only letting out sharp hisses, destroying surrounding buildings with thunderous sounds, and trying to attack Jiang Qiao in the air.
The latter looked at this snake full of aggressive desire, showing so helplessness and amusent:
“Look how impatient you are~ Oh my, perhaps Dr. Mobius would have a lot in common with you? Hmm~ decided, I’ll call you Mobius then?”
— Judgnt-class Honkai Beast 【Sesa】, the 3rd Herrscher’s companion beast, and also the material that Mobius would later use as a fusion warrior.
As the Herrscher of Thunder’s companion beast, though not entirely complete, it also possessed the ability to control lightning. Combined with its own tenacious vitality and that special black mud, without considering special abilities, its strength was among the best in the tier below Vipralopa-class Honkai Beasts.
It’s just too bad—
“You’re not the only one who can use lightning, you know~”
In her pink-tinged eyes reflecting the approaching lightning, the diamond-shaped divine mark representing the Herrscher of Origin aligned with the girl’s lip curve at this mont, forming a sowhat mocking smile.
The battle continued for an unknown duration, until the pink girl’s bare jade feet stepped on the snake head of the fallen “Mobius,” declaring the end of this battle.
The expressionless 【Elysia】 glanced sideways at the sowhat charred and broken snake corpse, the purple crystal in her palm glowing dimly.
“This kind of dead Herrscher core can only do this much.”
Her tone carried so regret as the pink girl’s gorgeous dress gradually dissipated after putting away the core.
A living Herrscher core could freely control its authority, but this kind of processed, dead Herrscher core no longer possessed the freedom and strength it had when alive.
Just like the rated power of Divine Keys, draining all accumulated Honkai Energy could only achieve a full-power strike set in so predetermined way.
This was also the limitation of Divine Keys.
But even so, the full-power strike of the Herrscher of Thunder used by the Herrscher of Origin was enough to kill Sesa.
However, Sesa, which possessed special resurrection abilities, still had a chance to regenerate. For example, right now, this adorable “Mobius” was working very hard to absorb the surrounding Honkai Energy, trying to complete its rebirth.
Unfortunately, the person it encountered was the Herrscher of Origin.
— Marked with the seal belonging to 【Origin】, “Mobius” mouth used for feeding was now blocked.
The pink girl smiled sweetly:
“Later, Dr. Mobius should be very interested in this thing, right? Hmm~ If she knew this was material I specifically left for her, would Dr. Mobius be so moved that she’d cry tears of joy?”
At that mont, the portable communicator by her ear rang with Dr. I’s voice:
“With Mobius’s personality, it’s impossible for her to show that kind of expression, but you can try your best. I’m also looking forward to seeing Mobius show that kind of expression.”
“Of course — more importantly, you probably need to hurry back to the camp, Elysia.”
“I… can’t hold on much longer.”
