Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Raven scratched his chin as he looked at the suddenly silent chat window.

"What else could happen? I reckon this A-rank Valkyrie is definitely not as strong as you, Theora. She got blasted to pieces on the spot, hahahahaha—"

The jackal let out a quiet, victorious whimper...

"I'm the one with big breasts, not a jackal... What are you laughing at???"

"..."

The scientist's smile froze, as if frozen in time.

"...Tsk tsk tsk, is this what they call karma? You have time to mess with Night Owl's girlfriend...where's the divine blood reagent I asked for?"

Imotek shook his head as he looked at the jackal, whose face was ashen and whose expression was stiff.

"Uh...Sir, the new serum is now more than halfway developed. We have determined the proportion of those trace amounts of imaginary energy, which is the biggest problem in the drug. The first batch of prototypes has entered clinical trials and is expected to be mass-produced soon."

"That's good... Also, don't bother Night Owl's girlfriend anymore. As for Gray Serpent, Schicksal is preparing to officially begin the experiment—"

Imotek glanced at the terminal that had just pinged and gave the order.

"Please rest assured, my lord—this plan is being carried out by you. Suppressing those S-rank Valkyries of destiny is no easy task."

"Hmph, you're quite the flatterer..."

Chapter 275 Stan, transform now!!!

"Open your mouth, do you want some dried fish?"

"Sis, I've already told you I'm really not a catgirl—"

Compared to the daily underhanded tactics of the Eastern Destiny members in the Eye of the Abyss and the loving interactions between the World Serpent executives amidst the distant yellow sands, the scene in the Valkyrie's residence at the Destiny North Africa Laboratory is a truly heartwarming and pure love story.

The golden retriever, the silly older sister Yulandal, was holding a small dried fish treat that was originally meant for Stan, and was trying to feed it to her white cat sister, Ranran, whom she had tied up. The latter looked at the plain, unseasoned dried fish, which was meant for cats, and hesitated... This is fine for Stan... but is it even fit for a human?

"Bianca...you should feed these dried fish to Stan...that kitten's eyes are deadly..."

Kiana looked at the murderous gaze of the Siamese cat behind the two of them. If jealousy and sourness could be transformed into power, then those wine-red eyes seemed poised to unleash a destructive beam that would instantly vaporize the white, fiery cat from the face of the earth.

"Huh? Stan?"

Upon hearing this, Bianca turned around and looked at the Siamese cat behind her—

Stan looked at Durandal, who had finally shifted her attention from the fake cat to the real cat, and changed her expression to a pitiful one like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, as if she was silently saying, "Human, look at me! Look at me! Don't look at her!"

Unfortunately... although Ms. Bianca Atagina loves cats very, very much... she doesn't understand a thing or two about feline language.

"Meow--!!!"

"Hey, is Stan hungry? Rita's in the kitchen next door—go ask her to get you some cat food—"

Yulandel waved at Stan, who was meowing for attention, and ruffled its fur twice—then turned her attention back to her sister and continued trying to stuff dried fish into her mouth.

"Sis... I'm not asking you to eat it, just hold onto the dried fish and let me take a picture—"

Yulandel inadvertently revealed her true purpose...

“…”

The room fell silent, then was broken by Stan's disgruntled meow—

"Meow—!!!" [You slut, you've forgotten about cats now that you have a catgirl! Look at all the fur you've plucked from me—if I didn't grow so fast, you'd have rubbed my scalp bald!!! Damn it, refund my money, no... find someone else!!!]

We still can't understand why Stan's "meow" contains such complex language, but Bianca simply doesn't understand it...

At this moment, the young kitten deeply regretted agreeing to the experiment to evolve the Jackal Honkai Beast... It should have found a way to transform into human form on the spot—look at Bellenas next door, two masters, one on each side!!! And he even has two bodies!

Stan glared at the two dolls on the bedside table... Bella and Sirin, who had somehow managed to sneak in, apparently bought the white catgirl last week after their owner dragged her out shopping...

Bella and Sirin, who were responsible for playing dead during the day as dolls, cast sympathetic glances at the pitiful-looking cat, making Stan feel even more uncomfortable under their gaze—

"Meow—!" [I'm angry, human! I'm not talking to you anymore!!!]

Stan, who had called out, saw the unresponsive goose and stormed out the door in a huff...

Poor little cat!

The doll Sirin watched the cat dart away and sighed inwardly.

Yes, yes—this is the tragedy of language barriers.

The Bella doll beside her nodded.

--

I really want to be Miss Bianca's cat, but my human says she only likes catgirls, not cats—

As Stan drifted into a hazy, aimless sleep, he jumped onto the sleeping Bianca, intending to use the memories of their happy times together to lull himself to sleep.

"Um... Stan, don't move..."

Bianca seemed to sense a cat climbing on her and mumbled something in her sleep before falling silent.

"Meow—" [If only I could become a catgirl—]

The young kitten made a terrible wish... Little did it know what strange events awaited it...

【Oh my... so you want to become a catgirl? What's wrong, are you jealous of that white, fiery cat?】

A somewhat hollow and sacred voice echoed in Stan's mind... causing the cat to instinctively spring up from the bed.

"Meow??" [Who's there? Who's talking? Stop playing tricks—if you don't come out soon, I'm going to wake up the human!!]

Stan, now on the bed, warily surveyed his surroundings, alert to some "invisible" presence...

【Hmm...no matter what you say...I can't appear in front of you. I only focused my gaze here because I heard a certain Honkai Beast Cat's wish.】

[So—are you ready for your wish to come true?]

For a broken creation, hearing the voice of the gods should be a pleasant experience, but the cat didn't think so at the moment. A very ominous premonition kept warning the cat...

"Meow—?!" [Let's talk this out, what are you trying to do, meow?!]

What for? Of course, it's... to transform for me!

With a crisp snap in Stan's mind, the cat's form changed slightly—well, just a little bit.

A kitten-like girl in white and crape myrtle colors appeared on the bed... and most importantly—

"Meow..." [Am I not a male cat? Becoming a catgirl was just a joke, Gods, are you there? I regret it, meow!!!]

[Ha—Honkai Beasts don't have genders, you silly cat, did you eat too much cat food and go stupid?]

A merciless chuckle echoed in the catgirl's mind—Stan even detected a hint of pleasure in it...

Can I turn back into a cat?

[Not for at least 24 hours... because it needs to cool down and set—sorry, little kitty, I need you to attract most of their attention, after all, what I'm about to do can't be discovered by the other "me"...]

It seemed there was still important business to attend to. The image of the goddess vanished from Stan's mind, leaving the cat to face the dreaded situation of tomorrow morning—

Maybe I should just run away from home...

Stan was lost in thought... but the catgirl seemed to have forgotten one thing—the sleeping posture of the S-rank Valkyrie Durandal... was truly appalling—

Just as Stan was about to sneak away, a merciless iron hand gripped her tightly in someone's magnificent embrace—

"Meow--!"

----------

"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you staring at the sky, lost in thought?"

In Sky City, the boy's companion patted him on the shoulder... The boy, as a volunteer, had recently participated in the clinical trials of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals' new vaccine; and just now, as if guided by some instinct, the boy looked up at the night sky...

"Hmm, didn't you see the golden eye pattern in the sky...?"

"Huh? Brother, are you too tired? Where did those golden eyes come from? Are you too tired? Come on, come on, I'll take you home—"

"Probably... then I'll leave it to you, friend."

However, what they didn't know was that this inexplicable event of staring into the strange markings in the sky wasn't unique to them...

.....

“Very good... It seems they haven’t noticed... or rather, haven’t paid attention to the tiny ripples in this storm.”

Chapter 276 The Twilight of Destiny's Orange Blossoms Reached a Stalemate

"Lady Durandal, it's time to get up and have breakfast..."

Today is a very unique, or rather, novel day for Miss Rita Losweiser....

The blonde Valkyrie, who usually gets up early to wash up and go to the gym for her morning workout, seems to have vanished today...

Whether in the indoor gym or the outdoor training ground, Rita didn't see the blonde Valkyrie. Growing increasingly suspicious, the maid considered a somewhat improbable possibility...

"Hmm... So Lady Durandal sleeps in too?"

Pushing open the bedroom door, the maid unsurprisingly saw a blonde Valkyrie lying on the bed... no, if Bianca were to describe her current state, she would be frozen on the bed.

"Lord Bianca?"

Not receiving a response, Rita strangely switched to a more intimate form of address... but the blonde Valkyrie remained motionless on the bed—

.........

Miss Bianca, as the latter, didn't not want to respond to Rita's call... she was simply overloaded and unable to process information across multiple systems.

The situation before her caused the girl's brain to freeze... and a white and purple catgirl was also experiencing the same brain short circuit.

The two stared at each other, the petite catgirl held tightly to her chest by the former's hand. Who knew how many breast-related murders had occurred last night...?

However, thanks to the special constitution of Honkai Beasts, Stancat seems to have pulled through... It just doesn't know how to explain to its equally bewildered owner and convince her that it is indeed her cat...

Durandal was now too afraid to move. Her initial thought of asking about the origins of the strangely familiar catgirl vanished the moment Rita burst through the door...

"Lady Durandal...are you feeling unwell?"

Still receiving no response, Rita's confusion gave rise to a new theory...

"Then please don't worry, the girls' quarters only have a few days... Rita will go and prepare some medicine and supplements for Lady Durandal."
