People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

As a result, the previous civilization ultimately lost the opportunity to develop, and everything began to reverse, entering a new cycle.

Now, a new collapse is about to begin, and civilization is once again facing the trials of the gods.

The World Serpent has been accumulating power in the shadows for a long time, and now it is gradually beginning to open its serpentine eyes and make its own voice heard in this new era.

Today, in the most secluded paradise of the world's snakes.

A man named Gray Serpent, cloaked and carrying a black umbrella, slowly walked through the long corridor.

In one of the innermost rooms, a large number of experimental materials were piled on the floor, and the research facility was filled with complex and cumbersome equipment.

"Sir, I'm back."

The gray snake slowly opened its mouth, its mechanical voice indistinguishable between male and female.

Before him, a green-haired girl in a white lab coat was conducting some kind of research. Upon noticing the gray snake's arrival, she spoke without looking up, "The restart plan hasn't even started yet. What are you doing here looking for me at this hour?"

"Lord Möbius, the Stigmata Project has begun preliminary preparations. I've come to report on the project's progress..."

"Go ahead."

Mebius spoke indifferently, as if he didn't care about Gray Serpent's report at all.

Gray Snake was well aware of the other party's personality and told him everything he knew.

"That's the situation. Anti-Entropy is currently conducting the Third Herrscher experiment in Changkong City. I'm wondering if we can use this to further advance the Stigmata Project."

“There’s no need.” Mebius shook his head. “The Stigmata Project is just one of the plans Mei left behind. There’s no need to be too fixated on it… The only truly important thing is the Reboot Project. That’s the reason why we heroes exist here.”

"I understand……"

The gray snake nodded and said no more.

"By the way, we just received some intelligence from Changkong City." Gray Serpent suddenly remembered something and slowly spoke, "It seems that the Third Herrscher experiment in Changkong City has encountered a problem. A sudden burst of heavenly fire burned all the Honkai Beasts, disrupting Anti-Entropy's plans."

"Suddenly appearing heavenly fire?"

Upon hearing this, Mebius's eyes flickered for the first time. After a long while, she slowly spoke: "Kevin is still sealed in the Sea of ​​Quanta, and the true form of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire is still in the hands of Kevin's descendant, Siegfried Kaslana. However, he is in such a condition that it is impossible for him to use the Seventh Divine Key... This matter is most likely unrelated to the Judgment of Heavenly Fire."

"Ok."

Gray Serpent dared not doubt Mebius's conjecture, nodded, and prepared to leave the Paradise of the Dead.

Just as he was about to leave the laboratory, Mebius suddenly called out to him.

"Send someone to keep a close eye on the situation in Changkong City. Although this matter may be unrelated to the Heavenly Fire Judgment, it is still worth paying attention to..."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Mebius's words, the gray snake nodded and officially departed.

Mebius, however, stopped his experiment at some point and looked at the landscape of the Paradise of the Past, which had remained almost unchanged for tens of thousands of years.

"What a boring day..."

"How long will this situation continue?"

"Mei, Ron...you two damn bastards, why did you leave me all alone?!"

As Möbius gazed at the desolate scene, his mind instinctively drifted back to the once bustling research institute.

In the Möbius Institute tens of thousands of years ago, she, Ron, and Mei, despite their occasional arguments and differing opinions on various theoretical research topics, lived together.

That bastard Ron later even completely rejected her proposed supervariant factor experiment, creating something entirely different.

But whenever I think back to those times, everything is so joyful and happy...

In contrast, the paradise of the past now seems so empty to Mebius.

Nothing in the world has any meaning; only endless time accompanies her onward, until some void ends.

……

Changkong City.

Chaos and collapse descended upon the city like a destructive storm—

A massive celestial fire shot into the sky, tearing everything apart before disintegrating into scattered flame ions that pierced through the clouds.

From the ground, the fiery meteors in the sky were clearly visible, like some kind of intense, resounding echo.

"hateful……"

In an open area behind Chiba Academy, a silver-haired girl with braided pigtails is fighting a group of Honkai Beasts that suddenly appeared, wielding two pistols.

When the large number of Honkai Beasts appeared, Kiana rushed out of the classroom, ready to fight the suddenly appearing Honkai to the death.

However, to her surprise, the sudden appearance of heavenly fire completely annihilated all the Honkai Beasts.

Kiana initially breathed a sigh of relief, but then inexplicably felt that the flames were very familiar.

Looking back, it seems that the weapon used by his father, Siegfried, could unleash a similar attack.

Kiana instinctively thought she had found a clue to her missing father and decided to find the man who unleashed the fire attack.

She didn't find the person, but she did encounter a wandering Honkai Beast.

Kiana had no choice but to fight against these Honkai Beasts, and then gloriously found herself surrounded.

Although she possesses exceptional combat talent and an exaggeratedly strong combat intuition, it is clearly impossible for a sixteen-year-old girl to defeat such a large number of Honkai Beasts without undergoing professional training.

'Foolish fellow, you'd be better off letting me do it...'

It felt as if I was hallucinating.

In her desperate situation, a golden light appeared in Kiana's eyes, and she inexplicably felt a strange power surging within her.

The last time she had this feeling was four years ago, on the day her father disappeared. She vaguely remembered hearing a certain sound, and then all her consciousness was plunged to the bottom.

Occasionally, you can see endless flames and a man with a missing arm.

"I can't lose... I absolutely won't lose again!"

Kiana gritted her teeth, arching her fully developed body as much as possible, making a desperate, all-or-nothing gesture!

The Honkai Beasts stared coldly at her, as if mocking her futile struggle.

"boom--!"

Suddenly, a blazing flame descended from the sky!

Kiana looked on in surprise.

A white-haired man, covered in broken scales, suddenly fell from the sky, unleashing an astonishing vortex of flames!

All despair and resentment were blown away by this firestorm!

"This is……"

Kiana stared in disbelief at the white-haired man wielding a golden greatsword before her, vaguely recalling the flames that had torn the sky apart.

Did this person do it?

While Kiana was stunned and confused, everything about the white-haired man began to change rapidly. The strange scales began to disappear quickly and turned into ordinary skin.

In the end, the man who originally exuded the aura of the final boss transformed into a black-haired young man wearing a white coat, radiating an indescribable rationality.

"Huh?" Ron was stunned when he saw Kiana, as if he had just realized that there was someone else here.

"Huh?" Kiana was stunned when she saw the other person.

The two looked at each other in the eye.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

Aside from the Honkai Beasts in the air that had been completely burned to ashes in the flames—

Chapter 47 My specialty is giving injections in the buttocks.

Kiana stood there, her two white braids floating gently in the wind behind her, staring blankly at the black-haired man in the white coat in front of her.

After a long while, she couldn't help but instinctively ask, "Dad?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"You're not my dad?" Kiana was stunned.

Before her, the imposing man who had appeared like a divine warrior was now squatting on the ground collecting Honkai Beast powder.

Although Kiana couldn't understand what he was doing, she could sense that he was seriously collecting the factors of these Honkai Beasts.

Why do you think I'm your father?

"This……"

Upon hearing Ron's words, Kiana was stunned and didn't know how to explain.

She would believe Ron to be her father, partly because the weapon he just used was very similar to the Judgment of the Skyfire used by her father, Siegfried.

Secondly, there was something about Ron that made Kiana feel very close to him.

Although she couldn't quite explain it, she just felt very familiar with the other person.

That's why she instinctively mistook this completely unfamiliar man for her silly father who had been missing for several years.

"You're really not my dad, but you're clearly using my dad's weapons?"

“The same weapon cannot prove the same identity.” Ron calmly pulled his head out of the Honkai Beast dust on the ground. “Hello, Kiana, my name is Ron.”

"Ron?"

Kiana tilted her head.

She had never heard of this name before, but it felt strangely familiar. Then her expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, how...how do you know my name?"

"Is this important?"

"Whoa—you're not one of those stalker perverts, are you? You secretly investigated my background, then pretended to get close to me, but actually you wanted to assault me?!" Kiana said, clutching her chest as if she were looking at a criminal.

Ron looked at her silently with an expression as if she were an idiot, and said speechlessly, "You've been at Senba Academy for so long, and you still don't know I'm a teacher in the infirmary? I only recognized you because I saw your picture on the student roster."

"I see..." Kiana acknowledged Ron's statement. "I didn't expect you to be our school's health teacher? Are all health teachers in the Far East monsters?"
