The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Logically, given the base's concealment, it should have been able to react to the enemy's appearance.

However, the current situation completely overturns this common sense.

It seems... these Honkai Beasts appeared out of thin air?

"Herrscher, if you are in charge of all this, then draw your sword against us now."

Faced with this extreme disadvantage, Kevin immediately assumed that Kiana was the culprit.

Upon hearing his frank confession, Kiana drew her sword without hesitation...

Annihilate all the Honkai Beasts that have already rushed in front of these people!

"Ok?"

"Let's avoid internal strife. I made a promise and I won't go back on it."

Kiana took a deep breath and then took the lead in the bloody battle against the Honkai Beasts...

Seeing this, the other heroes also joined the battle.

In an instant, the entire base was filled with the sounds of battle, cries, the tearing of flesh, and the roar of steel breaking.

He presented a song to the crowd, a song of humanity...

elegy.

...

Outside the base of the Fire Moths, a barefoot girl is holding a paintbrush and painting on a canvas.

"Gresh... I've been looking for her for ages."

Kosmo appeared from behind and then fixed his gaze on the painting.

Surprisingly, Gretchen once again depicted the scene that was unfolding.

What exactly is depicted in the painting?

There were wailing crowds, Honkai Beasts slaughtering humans indiscriminately, and a girl who seemed like a god...

Everything was so terrible and hopeless.

It's hard to imagine that this painting was created by Greta Thunberg...

"Hey, Gretchen... Hmm? There seems to be some noise over at the base, what's wrong?"

Without a second thought, Kosmo slowly turned around, unsure why such a sound was making noise inside the base.

However, if he turns around, he will find out.

A girl who looked remarkably like Kiana, but with golden eyes, appeared beside Gretsch at some point.

"Is that me in this painting? A human being?"

She gently reached out her hand and pointed to herself in the painting.

"Hmm, no... really?"

Gretchen slowly raised her head to look at Sirin, even though the other's appearance and temperament were extremely similar.

But they couldn't immediately conclude that she was the person in the painting.

"Oh? Hehe, no... then let's just pretend she isn't."

Sirin smiled, then raised her hands, and two spatial orbs instantly appeared in her palms.

It was only at this moment that Kosmo belatedly realized...

Enemies?!

"Gresh! Get away from her!"

Having already sensed the impending danger, Kosmo didn't even bother with any idle chatter before swinging his claws at Sirin.

But the next second, Sirin disappeared from his sight.

"What's going on?!"

Faced with the sudden disappearance of a powerful enemy, Kosmo showed signs of fear and unease.

He suddenly picked Gretchen up and then looked around.

However, apart from a few ignorant Honkai Beasts, there was no trace of anything else in the surrounding area.

Such a bizarre sight should have made Kosmo even more panicked.

However, his inner yearning for justice compelled him to continue the battle against these Honkai Beasts, even under these circumstances...

...

The base of the Fire-Chasing Moth is in a fairly good environment.

Working in such a place is truly a wonderful thing.

Unfortunately, the cause they fought for was also extremely pessimistic.

"The traces of humanity, no matter how many times I see them, still seem incredible, hmm..."

A girl's voice echoed within the base, which was being destroyed by monsters.

The voice was so arrogant, it was as awe-inspiring as a god judging all things.

If anyone were present at that moment, they might be impressed by the imposing presence she exuded.

Behind her, the Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors stood like loyal soldiers, venting their hatred for civilization towards the self-defense robots and members of the Fire Moth that were emerging from the base.

Although they do not have the consciousness or thought of being hostile to humans.

However, the instincts bestowed upon them by the Honkai drive them to slaughter any human they can see within their field of vision.

"Help!"

"Damn Honkai Beasts, ah!!!"

"What do we do now? Where are those fusion warriors?! They've vanished!"

The members of the Fire Moth were not immediately aware of what was happening inside the base.

It's not really fair to say they were too incompetent; it's just that Sirin's attack came at just the right time.

Just when Yingjie was embroiled in internal strife and the attention of all the base members was diverted, the most ferocious attack was launched.

They had the advantage of timing and location, which enabled them to achieve unimaginable results in the very first battle.

However, the good situation was short-lived, and was subsequently reversed by the large-scale deaths of Honkai Beasts.

However, none of this was beyond Sirin's expectations.

Ultimately, the core fighting force of the Moth of Fire is still these heroes.

As for the other ordinary people, they are just dispensable atmosphere-building groups.

However, sometimes, the majority can influence the minority.

"...Hmph. I'll let you linger on for a little longer."

After saying this, Sirin raised her hand again and summoned a space sphere in her palm.

As the orange-yellow sphere appeared, the already crumbling base suddenly began to tremble.

At the same time, many places within the base experienced collapses.

It felt like someone was starting to blow up the entire base from the inside.

The situation is extremely precarious.

However, the whole event did not proceed as smoothly as Celine had hoped...

The appearance of someone forced her to abandon her attack and instead dodge away in a flustered manner.

"Ready, ignite!"

As the Blazing King Sword revealed its full sharpness, a terrifying sword wound tore through the base's wall, and flames engulfed it, bringing a fiery judgment upon the invading Honkai Beasts...

It's quite normal to have fourteen heroes out of the thirteen, right? (Previous Civilization): Chapter Twenty-Seven: You are undoubtedly the fourteenth hero!

'Boom!'

Flames poured out, following the trajectory of the sharp blade, annihilating all the Honkai Beasts brought by Sirin.

Countless Honkai Beasts were reduced to ashes, and the architectural remains displayed within the base were also swept away into the distance by the flames.

All of this demonstrated Kiana's formidable combat prowess to the Moths who had rushed to the scene.

"The Herrschers are fighting?"

"Hey, her..."

"Did we misunderstand this Herrscher? Forget it, let's retreat. This kind of battle is beyond our control; let's go save the others!"

Such a level of combat power is beyond the reach of these people.

So they wisely chose to run away...

Although such behavior is no different from desertion, these people's choice is exceptionally wise when faced with an enemy they simply cannot confront.

Just as Sirin had predicted, although there were many people in the organization of the Fire Moth, only Fire Chaser and the researchers could truly play a decisive role.

As for the others, although they played a role, it wasn't a significant one.

So forcing them to do it head-on is no different from sending them to their deaths.

Kiana was aware of this, so instead of being displeased by the guys' hasty retreat, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I can finally act freely after they leave."

As a Herrscher who came from the post-era to the Qian era, Kiana's strength has improved dramatically.

It wouldn't be surprising if they went all out and destroyed the base.

That's why she needs these members of the Fire Moths to run as far away as possible, so that she won't expose any flaws by worrying about them later.

However...

As it turned out, her expectations were unnecessary.
