I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [196]

Within the World

Aboard the Schicksal warship Brilliant Covenant, Otto Apocalypse gazed expressionlessly at the footage transmitted by the drone—the image of Kiana Kaslana, who had laid waste to everything in her path.

He closed his eyes slightly.

A single tear slid down his cheek.

Then, without hesitation, he waved his hand and gave the order.

"Deploy the Honkai Fission Bomb. Saturation strike on the Third Airport."

Following his command, the fission missile silos in Europe began their orderly operations.

[Honkai Fission Bomb ready. Primary, secondary, and tertiary safety locks disengaged.]

[Final authorization granted.]

[Target coordinates confirmed.]

[Archbishop Otto Apocalypse, please issue the final command.]

A holographic screen flashed red before Otto. Without the slightest hesitation, he clenched his fist and slammed it against the screen.

Crack—!

The holographic image instantly shattered, and at the same time, the artificial intelligence system’s voice echoed through the room.

[Final command received.]

[Honkai Fission Bomb launching…]

[3…]

[2…]

[1…]

[FIGHT!]

[Archbishop Otto Apocalypse, may fortune favor you in battle.]

The mechanical voice faded.

About thirty seconds later, a piercing shriek tore through the skies above the warship.

On the large screen, the missile’s trajectory appeared in real-time. Less than ten seconds later, the fission bomb made contact with the outskirts of the Third Airport.

BOOM—!

A deafening explosion resounded across the heavens.

A terrifying heatwave consumed everything around the Third Airport, reducing it all to scorched earth.

Then came the shockwave, a force so powerful it swept away the clouds above Schicksal’s headquarters in an instant before continuing its relentless expansion into the distance.

Most of Schicksal’s headquarters lay within the devastation radius of the blast and heatwave.

The majority of the buildings lining the streets were left cracked, crumbling, and ravaged beyond recognition.

[Honkai Fission Bomb has made contact with the target.]

[Impact site deviation: 130 meters.]

[Initiating internal scan.]

[…No life signs detected…]

[…No life signs detected…]

[…Honkai energy signature detected. Magnitude: 37,682,356 HW.]

[Confirming…]

[…Honkai energy signature detected. Magnitude: 39,223,423 HW.]

[Massive Honkai energy reaction detected—approaching rapidly…]

Otto no longer had the patience to listen to the AI’s report.

His gaze was fixed solely on the screen—on the immense, radiant wings of light unfolding across the battlefield.

The colossal wings stretched for dozens of kilometers, encompassing all of Schicksal’s headquarters and its surrounding regions.

At the center of those divine wings stood a girl, sacred and ethereal, lifting her head.

Her gaze slowly shifted, locking onto the Brilliant Covenant.

Then, she raised a single finger, her lips parting slightly.

"Otto, die."

The moment her words fell, a beam of Honkai energy, moving at the speed of light, shot toward the Brilliant Covenant.

Then, in an instant—

It exploded.

Within that blinding radiance—

Otto Apocalypse, along with his entire fleet, vanished without a trace.

Beyond the World

In the River of Time—

Year 1998.

Siberia.

A violet-haired girl stood in confusion, staring at the many strangers before her.

They wore strange uniforms, their faces hidden behind fearsome masks, moving from house to house, conducting their searches.

They claimed to be doctors from the city, here to perform health checks on the villagers.

But all the girl saw was them taking people away.

She was scared.

She feared they would take her away too.

"Hello, little one."

A woman in uniform finally stopped before the girl.

She knelt slightly, holding out a piece of sweet, enticing chocolate, a smile forming beneath her mask.

"May I check your health? We are from the Babylon Laboratory, directly affiliated with Schicksal's Siberian headquarters."

"It is the world's leading institute in Honkai energy research and the foremost center for treating Honkai infections."

"If you have contracted Honkai disease, we will provide free treatment for you."

The girl stared blankly at the woman before her.

She had been an orphan for as long as she could remember, surviving only with the charity of the villagers.

She did not know what Honkai disease was.

She did not know what Schicksal was.

But she did know one thing—

Chocolate was sweet.

And she liked sweet things.

Gingerly, she reached out and took the chocolate from the woman’s hand. Then, in a small, timid voice, like a cautious little beast, she asked:

"Big sister, can I eat this?"

"Of course."

The woman in uniform gave a slight nod, her masked face curving into a satisfied smile.

"Would you like to come with me? I have plenty more delicious treats where that came from."

"I…"

With the chocolate melting in her mouth, the girl hesitated.

She wanted more treats.

But she was afraid to go.

"No, that won't be necessary."

A steady voice suddenly came from behind the girl.

"She is not infected with Honkai disease and does not require examination."

The woman in uniform lifted her head, her gaze shifting past the girl.

There, a young man dressed in the intricate robes of the East stood before her.

"And you are…?" she asked, frowning slightly.

"My name is Zhongli," the man replied calmly.

"I am this girl’s relative."

The violet-haired, golden-eyed girl turned her head, curiosity filling her gaze as she looked at the man behind her.

"Hello, Sirin," Zhongli greeted gently, his hand resting atop her small head of violet hair.

"I am a relative of your mother. You may call me Zhongli."

"I’ve come to take you home."

"I suppose… I could stay with you for about ten years—until you grow up."

Sirin did not entirely understand what home meant.

But she could feel it.

From the warmth of his palm on her head—

A warmth she had only known in memories and dreams.

A warmth that once belonged to her mother.

“…Mm.”

She nodded vigorously.

Then, like a small kitten, she closed her eyes, stood on her tiptoes, and gently rubbed her head against his palm.

"Then it's decided."

A small hand reached out, grasping his much larger one.

Without a word, she followed him, walking away.

And as she did—

A soft smile slowly bloomed on her lips.

—It felt like a dream.

—A beautiful dream she wished would never end.

—A dream just for her.

—Goodnight, Sirin.
