This is my revenge!

Well... As the protagonist controlled by the player in "Honkai Impact 3rd", the Pioneer has a unique nickname that makes people feel uneasy.

"Star Core Essence".

Star core... If this thing is not done properly, the noise it makes will not necessarily be much smaller than that of the "Cocoon of the End".

There is no need to worry too much about which is stronger, it or the latter.

Ling Ke only knew that once the star core in his body fully exploded...

"Then I'll have to start over with my script."

Therefore, he will not let this happen until he feels that the "script" is about to be restarted.

Fortunately, as the host of the "Ready Player One System", he has the authority to completely control everything that each game character template has.

How advanced is this permission?

Very simple!

It can even temporarily disable certain features... for example, certain debuff background settings that only have negative effects.

This is also the fundamental reason why he was not affected by "entropy loss syndrome" when he used the "Firefly" template to beat Qianjie.

Anyway...

"Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, all preparations have been completed."

Ling Ke's lips curled up slightly, "Then let me take a good look at what this world looks like from a different perspective!"

******

At the same time, in the downtown area of ​​Namba City, inside the Fire Moth branch base.

"I just received news from above that governments around the world have begun establishing a total of 1379 base cities around the world."

"Of course, these 1379 base cities will be constructed in batches based on the importance of each region and city."

"And the city of Namba where we are now is among the top priority construction batches."

This is the combat meeting room of the Fire Moth's "Fifth Squad."

At this time, Himiko, the captain, and her vice-captain were relaying the above information to all team members.

Not long after...

"It's weird."

"Those people in the parliament this time... how could they get things done so efficiently?"

"You have so much start-up capital? And no one's taking advantage of it?"

"Damn it! Those money-hungry guys are actually the sponsors?"

"I'm afraid this is not a dream!"

"Or... has the situation really become this serious?"

"Scare them all awake?"

……

The team members who got some inside information couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Captain Himiko watched everything happening calmly.

Of course she knew the inside story, so... she didn't say anything.

He also had no intention of explaining.

Just wait silently...waiting for the team members to calm down.

then……

"Have you finished chatting?"

"Uh~hehe."

"Ahem~"

Since they couldn't tell whether their captain was in a good or bad mood, the team members could only scratch their heads and laugh awkwardly.

Or he would just cough dryly, as if nothing had happened.

Himiko didn't mean to scold them... She knew that the army should behave like an army, but...

Each combat unit of the Fire Moth is quite special.

The personnel are special, the daily training is special, and the mission execution is...special!

A special team naturally has a special way of leading it.

And she obviously has her own leadership approach.

at the moment……

"Now that we're done talking, listen to me carefully."

Captain Himiko said calmly, "As mentioned earlier, this city of Namba will soon be transformed into a fortress-like base city surrounded by high walls."

"And our mission as Team Five is to ensure the safety of this area... and even the surrounding areas, until this project is officially completed."

"Of course, conflicts between people are not within the scope of our mission."

"Those things will naturally be handled by dedicated people."

"What we need to focus on is ultimately..."

At this point, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Searching, hunting, and killing those "monsters."

"Do you understand everything?"

"Understood!"×N

Inside the combat meeting room, the members of Team 5 responded in unison.

at the same time……

In a bakery in Namba City.

"唪~"

A small white-haired figure... well, she was really small.

If you stand on the thumb of an adult, you can use it as a temporary stage and easily dance to a song of paradise.

At this moment, this "little" girl suddenly appeared in the display case where bread was placed.

She made sure no one was paying attention and placed her hand on a piece of caterpillar bread.

then……

"唪~"

Just as she came, a golden-orange light flashed, and the little girl, along with the caterpillar bread she touched, disappeared from the spot.

About ten seconds later...

"唪~"

On the rooftop of a high-rise building, the white-haired girl, who had recovered from her shrinking state and returned to her normal body... Xilin, steadily caught the lunch that had just been passed to her with both hands.

"Ow~"

She took a big bite and her cheeks bulged, enjoying it very much.

Sudden……

"It's not right to steal."

Another voice sounded in my mind.

"Then don't eat it... uh~"

Xilin subconsciously retorted, but stopped mid-sentence.

The other person is in the same body as me, so saying such things... is obviously meaningless.

and so……

"Then I'll go kill everyone who owns that store right now, and the stuff will naturally be mine. It won't be stealing."

She has a bad temper and doesn't care about other people's lives, so she doesn't intend to be bullied.

Sure enough, after hearing her say that...

"Don't mess around."

Another consciousness within the body said helplessly, "I won't tell you."

"You should shut up."

Xilin wasn't going to let it go, so she continued, "The power is mine, and the food is what I got. How can you have the right to speak?"

"..."

Another consciousness... Kiana was silent as expected.

I don’t know if she really “kept her promise” or if… she simply didn’t know how to refute it.

"Ow~"

Xilin continued to eat with relish.

This caterpillar bread tastes very good and has a lot of cream.

Xilin narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.

Sudden……

"found it!"

She didn't notice.

At this moment, behind her, a normal, inconspicuous grain of sand that could be seen everywhere suddenly trembled.

This is a "pretender".

moment……

"Well done."

Somewhere hidden coordinates, at the bottom of the deep sea.

Kali, whose skin was sky blue, had a dangerous sneer on her face.

She began to telepathically send out orders, "My 'descendants' who are nearby, all move out."

"Goal: Kill the person that Mei Raiden cares about the most."

"Bring her body back to me... No, there's no need to go through so much trouble."

Kali suddenly changed her mind and said, "Bringing her body to me will easily reveal my location."

"Now, my plan has reached a critical moment. For safety reasons..."

"Just kill her and then eat her."

Her snow-white eyes narrowed slightly. "Anyway, as long as 'I' can transform into her and appear before Raiden Mei... that would be enough to prove a lot."

"She... Raiden Mei will make her own connections and become desperate."

"I'm sure her expression will be incredibly interesting, very...wonderful!"

As her thoughts reached this point, Kali's heart became increasingly excited.

She wanted to see Mei Raiden in pain and collapse.

Only in this way can the anger and resentment in her heart be somewhat relieved.

And now...

"Since there's no need to preserve her (Kiana's) body, there's no need to worry about it."

Kali finally ordered, "Everyone, attack with all your strength."

"Even if it means destroying that city...that country, I won't hesitate."

ps: Thank you very much for your birthday wishes.
