I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [172]

Zhongli and Tohru exchanged glances.

A few seconds later, Tohru narrowed her golden dragon eyes, gazing into the distance where Fu Hua had flown off.

She watched for a while before the corners of her mouth curled upward, revealing sharp, jagged teeth—razor-sharp and brimming with a savage hunger.

“I want to go take a look. Those things flying toward us… they look delicious.”

“…Delicious?” Zhongli frowned.

Of course, he had also noticed the monsters rapidly approaching this floating platform from the sky. Among them were numerous small Honkai Beasts, resembling swarms of oversized mosquitoes. But the most eye-catching presence was the massive, dragon-like creature leading the attack.

“You see it too, don’t you, Zhongli?”

The way Tohru spoke now was completely different from how she acted in the group chat.

She seemed to have reverted to the person she was before meeting Kobayashi—a being driven by bloodlust and an insatiable craving for battle.

“A dragon purely composed of a special type of energy… that has to taste amazing, right?”

As she finished speaking, her body trembled slightly, and from behind her human form, two enormous dragon wings unfurled.

The curved horns on her forehead shimmered with a crimson glow, like flickering flames. Her golden eyes expanded, dragon pupils now fully dilated.

“I’ll go lend Fu Hua a hand.”

With a powerful stomp, Tohru launched herself into the air. Her massive wings stirred up fierce gales as she soared upward.

Within moments, she followed Fu Hua’s path and vanished from Zhongli’s sight.

Fu Hua had suddenly flown away.

Tohru had immediately gone after her.

Zhongli had been in this world for less than five minutes, and now, the space around him was eerily empty.

“…Wait here?”

Recalling Fu Hua’s instructions, Zhongli chuckled lightly.

“Even for me, staying put in an unfamiliar place for too long would be quite difficult.”

“So, by general reasoning, exploring my surroundings would be the most logical course of action.”

With that, Zhongli set his plan into motion.

He swept his sleeve, turned on his heel, and leisurely began exploring the floating base.

Since acquiring access to the group chat, he had never seen technology so advanced—far beyond his own era.

Before he had come to this world, the date had been December 21, 2020.

The technological advancements he recalled from that time were nowhere near the level of the Honkai Impact world.

Now, having the opportunity to witness it firsthand, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

Deep within the lab, Otto Apocalypse was engrossed in his research when an abrupt alarm pulled him from his work.

[Warning! Warning! Anomalous energy detected outside Helheim Laboratory.]

[Analyzing data…]

[Comparing energy wave patterns…]

[Honkai Energy match… failed.]

[Warning! Warning! X-Class Special Event Detected!]

[Awaiting further instructions from the Overseer.]

“Oh?”

The blond man raised his head.

With one arm crossed over his chest, he stroked his chin with the other, his golden eyes narrowing in intrigue as he turned toward the warning display.

On the massive screen, the surveillance feed tracking Fu Hua showed two strange figures appearing before her.

One was dressed in ancient-style robes, reminiscent of the Ming Dynasty, exuding an air of elegance and perfection.

The other wore an altered maid outfit, her golden hair tied in a high ponytail, two coiled dragon horns protruding from her head.

The energy anomalies detected just now were emanating from these two individuals.

“…Not Honkai Energy?”

Otto leaned forward slightly, a keen interest flickering in his gaze.

“Fu Hua, it seems you have trump cards even I wasn’t aware of. This is… quite the delightful surprise.”

Muttering to himself, he immediately issued a command.

“Connect me to S-rank Valkyrie Rita Rossweisse.”

Within a minute, a woman clad in a distinctive maid outfit appeared on the screen.

"Overseer."

Rita gave a slight curtsy, lifting the hem of her skirt gracefully.

"What are your orders?"

“Fu Hua has presented me with an unexpected gift.”

Otto smiled as he waved his hand, transmitting the information about the two unknown individuals to Rita’s personal terminal.

“For now, avoid direct confrontation. Engage them in conversation and gather intel. I know you can handle this, Rita.”

"Your orders will be carried out."

Rita bowed again.

She was just about to cut the transmission when she noticed Otto momentarily freeze.

A new set of data appeared on her terminal.

She tapped to open the video feed and saw something unexpected—

The maid-dressed, horned woman in the footage suddenly spread her massive wings and ascended into the sky.

“Reveal some of our faction’s information if necessary to gain their trust. I need to know why these two are here, and where they came from.”

Otto’s voice turned serious.

“I have a feeling that, within the scope of our experimental plans… these two are the biggest variables.”

“They might even be the reason our entire experiment fails.”

"Understood."

Rita nodded.

“Then, I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

With that, the transmission ended.

Rita remained silent for a moment before a faint smile graced her lips.

--- Anomalous non-human entities, wielding energy different from Honkai Energy…

Fu Hua, it seems you truly aren’t as simple as you appear.

Just how much are you hiding?

Allow me to find out.

---

High in the sky, Fu Hua, clad in her battlesuit, [Shadow Knight], locked eyes with the massive dragon looming ahead—

Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Benares.

Though she had only partially regained her strength, Fu Hua felt no fear in the face of such an opponent.

The [Divine Key—Grips of Tai Xuan] wrapped its power around [Shadow Knight], and her body surged with Honkai Energy.

Her Valkyrie battlesuit shifted form, processing surrounding battle data through her enhanced vision.

However, what caught her off guard wasn’t the Honkai Beast.

Beneath Benares, a shadow of an aircraft carrier came into view.

And standing atop its deck—

A familiar crimson figure.

“…Teacher… Murata Himeko.”

Fu Hua murmured under her breath.

The Crimson Knight stood tall, wielding the [Aurora Cleaver], engaging in fierce combat against the Honkai dragon.

Scarlet flames clashed against the multi-elemental might of Benares, each strike shaking the air.

“Haah—”

Fu Hua let out a slow breath, gathering her strength.

She prepared to unleash an attack, aiming to divert Benares' attention away from Himeko and the transport ship.

But just as she was about to act—

A bright, energetic voice rang out from nearby.

“Wait, wait! Leave it to me…!”
