The sudden activation of the Chat System made Zhongli’s thoughts stir.
At the same time, he calmly retreated from the range of the pure white mist, shifting his attention to the Chat System's interface before him.
Truthfully, ever since he had fully awakened the Chat System, he had conducted thorough research on it.
To him, the structure and principles behind the Chat System were nearly transparent.
Initially, aside from its function of traversing worlds, the system ...

[Honkai].
According to what Fu Hua had told Zhongli—
Honkai was the omnipresent energy pervading this world. When its concentration reached a certain threshold, it would trigger a reaction.
It was already well understood that—
Humans infected by Honkai would turn into mindless creatures driven only by destruction—the Stigmata-infected Dead.
When Honkai energy accumulated further, it would give birth to massive creatures—Honkai Beasts.

Crack—!
A crisp sound echoed as the massive hand reaching from the sky shattered into pieces.
At some point, Zhongli had stepped in front of Theresa, gazing calmly at the Herrscher of Finality floating in midair.
"I believe we can have a conversation."
For the Herrscher of Finality, his sudden appearance was a shock.
From the very beginning, her cognitive functions had instinctively ignored Zhongli's presence.
This was the first time...

Location: First-floor banquet hall, luxury cruise ship.
Time: 19:10.
Does a banquet hall really need to be this complicated?
Uesugi Gen frowned as he stared at the dead-end before him.
The moment he turned around, a figure holding a mirror blocked his way.
Kōenji Rokusuke.
Heir to the Kōenji conglomerate. A prodigy in every aspect, yet somehow placed in Class D.

With A-Class’s failed attack, Ryūen had now successfully contaminated the second ball as well.
His arrogance reached an all-time high as he continued shouting,
"Is there anyone else besides me who can pull this off?!"
At this point, C-Class’s delinquent leader had completely lost his mind, fully descending into madness.
"UWAHAHAHA!"
Holding his cursed ball like a ravenous serpent, Ryūen slithered his g...

Ryūen Kakeru barely managed to roll to the side, dodging a ball that had been hurtling toward him. Breathing heavily, he glared across the field at Kōenji Rokusuke.
Even after all this time, that guy’s breathing was still completely steady. His endurance was downright unbelievable.
After his earlier failed attack on B-Class, Kōenji had shifted his focus entirely to A and C-Class, steadily eliminating their participants one by one.
A and C-Class couldn’t even fight bac...

Unfazed by the strange looks from those around him, Kōenji Rokusuke stroked his chin, scanning the field with amusement.
Finally, he locked onto his target—the most difficult class for D-Class to hit.
Class C.
"Dragon boy, prepare to witness my breathtaking elegance. I shall now send this ball straight to your class!"
Kōenji made a grand declaration, completely ignoring the wary gazes from his opponents.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Uesugi Gen picked himself up from the ground.
"Hmph!"
Horikita Suzune coldly huffed, her expression unwavering as she returned to her team.
With the force of that throw, there’s no way he actually got sent flying. Most likely, Uesugi had noticed she was irritated and exaggerated his reaction just to put on a show for her.

Artoria stepped out of the abyssal void, her heavy armor clinking with each deliberate step.
The sinister, vein-like patterns crawled up her face again, accentuating her elegant yet fearsome visage. Her golden eyes glimmered coldly, fixed on Susanoo with an indifference that felt like she was staring at a corpse unworthy of her attention.

The airport basked in bright sunlight.
Such clear skies were ideal for ensuring flights departed on time.
Under the blazing sun, the heat radiating off the ground made Mordred squint as she stepped off the plane.
“This scorching sun… brings back some unpleasant memories.”
Perhaps the blazing sunlight reminded Mordred of Verethragna’s White Horse incarnation, the most powerful of his abilities, which had left her at a significant disadvantage in th...

By the time Artoria arrived at the battlefield, the outcome of the battle had already been determined.
Melqart’s towering figure had vanished entirely. Though his overwhelming divine presence lingered in the air, there was no doubt—he had returned to the realm of myth.

After learning of the Persian War God Verethragna’s descent, Artoria sought out Guinevere for answers.
Verethragna possessed the Ram, an incarnation capable of resurrection, and carried the myth of slaying dragons—a quintessential [Steel] hero god.
On the other hand, Melqart, summoned by Verethragna, lacked immortality. Still, as the slayer of the Dragon King Yam and the one who ascended to the throne of the God King, he too was a [Steel]...

As the Lantern Rite approached in Liyue, Jia Changjiang and Lumine began their preparations.
Though they hadn’t yet learned how to craft sky lanterns, once Lumine heard about the required materials, she was eager to gather them in Liyue’s wilderness.
She wasn’t sure how many lanterns to make, but… it was the Lantern Rite, after all. Gathering extra materials couldn’t hurt, right?
Stocking up on a little bit of everything—totally normal behavior, isn’t it?

There was no way even molten lava could compare to whatever was in that cup.

Gu Sanqiu clutched his chest, staring at the thin veil of fire in front of him.
Finally, he let out a breath of relief.
Great. Just the worst possible outcome.

Besides, that whole "tempting fate to commit a crime" speech had rattled him a little. If he pulled a stunt like that again, he might actually end up dead.

Twenty-five consecutive victories. Thirty consecutive victories.

His ability to recover wasn’t keeping pace with the frequency of battles. Simply put, the maximum five-minute rest period between matches was nowhere near enough.
