The horrific vision in Central Europe has caused a stir around the world.
This time, it was completely different from the three great previous accidents and the various high-level battles fought by Kevin and others.
Because of that.
So much so that the relevant news could not be concealed at all.
Soon.
"Why are these Herrschers appearing?"
"The effectiveness of Fire Moth's pursuit is very doubtful."
"Our country has decided to suspend its financial assistance program to the organization."
.....
It is well known that, unlike Destiny Organization, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent of the current civilization era, Fire Moth—as the only anti-Honkai organization on the positive side of the Earth in this era—was established by the United Nations.
Naturally, it is also under the jurisdiction of the United Nations.
Over the years, from the outbreak of the "First Collapse" to the easy victory of the "Second Collapse". . . . . in fact, many people had drifted away.
However, now the third and fourth Honkai Impacts.
Together with what Kevin, Raiden Mei, Fu Hua, Youlander and others have recently demonstrated, it could be called extraordinary world-destroying power. . . . . .
Evidently, some people can no longer sit still at all.
People fear the "unknown."
At the same time, they will also be hostile toward the "uncontrollable."
And now, uncontrollable and unknown events are happening one after another across the world.
Especially.
"You still haven't found the whereabouts of Herrscher Zero (Alicia)?"
Many in power believe that over the years, having a Herrscher living openly right under their noses, and still being the number one combat force in the Fire Moth anti-Honkai organization. . . . . their uncomfortable emotions are undoubtedly even greater.
What? You say Herrscher Zero is close to humans?
Then she should be able to give more.
This is the moralist thinking of some people.
Also in this case.
"This is not something ordinary manpower can resist, it is a living natural disaster."
"Try to contact those 'superhumans' who have the ability and obligation to resolve this crisis that may affect all of humanity."
"The intelligence related to that power had to be shared."
"Mu Continent intensified testing of the 'Armed Doll Project.'"
"Mecha troops."
.....
Mebius did not know the situation on the side of the United Nations.
But on the Fire Moth's side.
"Ha ha~"
She laughed.
It was rare for her to personally come to such a boring meeting. Listening to those high-level congressmen who were used to sitting in offices and only knew how to point fingers, now also showing their ugly faces. . . . . she had to say she was really in a good mood.
Especially, after hearing about her own. . . . . um, referring to several projects secretly promoted by the New World Serpent, all progressing faster thanks to this. . . . . . she was even happier.
Of course, the fourth Herrscher. . . . . and the third Herrscher suspected to still be alive and whose whereabouts are currently unknown. . . . . . The hidden dangers and threats of these two must be addressed as soon as possible.
Regarding this matter, unlike those ignorant bags of wine and rice, Mebius, who knew the origin of the "returnees" like Kevin and Fu Hua, was relatively confident.
In her view, even if the "trial" of this era became more difficult for some reason, at least the Herrscher born during previous Honkai Great Outbreaks would not be. . . . . the opponent of that "Lord of World Serpent."
Project Chimera. . . . the body of Brahma beasts.
"Just thinking about it excites people."
It must be said that Mebius's thinking was indeed correct.
But that is the general case.
And this so-called general case refers to: generally. . . . . after a Herrscher is born, they immediately begin to destroy all of humanity in a hurry, so that they can only grow with difficulty in a high-pressure, high-risk environment, and there is a certain probability of dying before they can fully grow. . . . . . situation.
And today the situation is obviously very different.
Outsiders do not know this.
The Fourth Herrscher (Seele) is not acting at all to destroy all of humanity.
As for the Third Herrscher (Kali), who is still alive with high probability.
"Wow~"
The location is in the waters surrounding the southwestern part of the Mu continent, near several coastal cities adjacent to the Australian continent.
The originally impressive view of clear water and blue sky, without notice, produced extremely strange and unnatural changes at a certain moment.
Crimson tide?
No.
That was more harmful, in the truest sense.
What floated up from the depths of the ocean were the red-black alien monsters driven by their respective intentions to kill and their primitive predatory nature.
In their initial state, they only had humanoid outlines.
Like life-sized sculptures without color.
Somewhere on the beach.
"!!!"
The tourists who had originally been playing here, playing beach volleyball and sunbathing, watched in shock as the strange red-black figures landed.
"Titicaca~"
Under their watchful gaze, those strange figures actually "looked." After looking at one another, their figures became distorted.
In the end, they.
Transformed.
At this moment, the strong uncanny valley effect kept everyone present constantly on alert.
However, it was not until the first person reacted and quickly fled.
"Puff~"
A strange figure that had just completed its transformation suddenly appeared in front of the "prototype" of its own altered appearance at a completely inhuman speed in an instant.
Then, it struck its chest.
The next moment, something even more horrifying occurred.
"Ah!!!"
One saw that the "prototype," who was just an ordinary person, and whose physical condition was even weaker than the previous one, using the strange figure's arm piercing into the human body as a medium, screamed as they gradually melted and were completely absorbed by the former.
The entire process, the complete reverse of those steps where the red-black figures disguised themselves in imitation and transformed into forms.
Then, the next moment.
"Strange.
"Puff~"
"Run.
"Puff~"
"!!!" ×N
The incomparably bloody and completely one-sided massacre begins.
This sandy beach, only a starting point.
Those red-black figures, constantly emerging from the ocean, like highly contagious viruses, began to diverge in all directions.
And there was more than one place where they landed.
It had been a little less than half an hour.
One coastal city, completely fallen.
All the "people" within it had been replaced by the "blood pretenders."
At the same time.
"Indeed, as the scientific and technological center of human civilization, Mu Continent truly has the knowledge I want."
In the depths of the sea, Kali, the Herrscher of Blood who has no intention of leaving her "safe zone" at all, focused her gaze slightly.
At that moment, she was sitting alone on a submarine reef shaped like a throne, legs crossed, and sharing the memories of her "heirs."
"A new compatriot (the Fourth Herrscher) appears."
"She seems to have her own unique ideas."
"Very well!"
Kali seemed to be laughing. "I also have my plans."
At this moment, she simulated a world map in her mind based on the memories plundered by the "heirs."
Then, in imagination, densely marked "points" one after another in multiple places on the world map.
Wait until all these preparatory actions were declared complete.
"Plan phase one: hibernation, growth, learning. . . . . End."
"Next enters phase two of the plan: Operation 'Pretender.'"
"Clear purpose: destroy the general social structure of humanity and form a chain of suspicion within it."
"Incidental purpose: acquire even more high-level knowledge and those powerful special genes. . . . . I can become stronger."
"Main purpose: divert the attention of all human combat forces at high, backbone, and basic levels, and provide cover for the key 'third stage.'"
Kali reviewed her initial arrangements. "And the third stage of the plan was to act in favor of ——the 'Cold Wave.'"
At this point, she mobilized a certain segment of genes from her body of an ancient Honkai Beast, a segment resembling that of an ice pig (Emperor-class Honkai Beast Pavanti).
Around her, a bloody frost began to condense.
As for how to use this ability.
"Earth thermostat —— ocean currents."
Kali's face showed a look of excitement and eagerness to try destruction. "If I add forced cooling methods to all the key nodes of the ocean current, and then gradually fill each warm ocean current with extreme cold air.
"I should be able to reproduce. . . . . the great scene of the 'Glacier Extinction' of the past!"
