Chapter 54

"The Honkai Beast that fused with Hua is named Garuda, a type of avian Honkai Beast capable of manipulating flames."

"Garuda's defining trait is its ability to infinitely regenerate and possess super-strong recovery powers!"

"This trait was passed on to Hua, extending her lifespan indefinitely, bringing her infinitely close to immortality!!!"

This explains why Hua was able to reach a lifespan of over five thousand years later without showing any signs of aging.

At the same time, the audience also saw how much sacrifice the Previous Era made to combat the Honkai!

Under the influence of the apocalypse, in order to survive and for the continuation of civilization.

Many people had no choice at all...

Just like the squad Hua was in later...

【March 7th: Is this thing called Honkai a bit too terrifying? Could it also be something created by a Stellaron...】

【Welt: No, it doesn't have a very direct connection to our universe...】

【Jing Yuan: Such strength is truly heartbreaking.】

【Herta: So, in essence, Flame-Chasers are the fusion of human genes and Honkai Beast factors, so the failure rate must be very high, right...】

【Screwllum: After all, making human physiology fuse with another kind of monster is almost impossible...】

【MEI: Yes, so even with the later Super-Variation Factor technology, the number of Flame-Chasers remained very small...】

【Mobius: These Flame-Chasers also became the most precious assets of the MOTH...】

【Acheron: Honkai... Herrscher... Divine Key...】

【Black Swan: This history will surely become my most precious memory.】

【Stelle: It seems there are new viewers again...】

【Boothill: Just walked in and saw a big scene, I see...】

【Jingliu: It is indeed somewhat peculiar, this world! Even the power of Paths does not exist...】

【Jing Yuan: Master...】

In the livestream room.

Bai Feng was not surprised by the newly joined viewers.

After all, the system provides a notification whenever they join.

Bai Feng continued to tell Hua's story: "With the popularization of Super-Variation Factors, although the number of Flame-Chasers in the Previous Era remained small..."

"They became the most powerful force against the Honkai!"

"During the long years of the Previous Era's struggle against the Honkai, humanity finally saw a glimmer of hope..."

"But what is more painful than despair is seeing that tiny bit of hope being snuffed out!"

Bai Feng's tone suddenly became serious...

The Previous Era...

Everyone sat up straight, as if they knew which part of the story Bai Feng was about to tell!

And this was the first time since Bai Feng started the livestream.

That his expression was this serious...

"Are we finally arriving here?"

Mobius's tone was finally no longer so cynical, no longer so mocking...

It was somewhat earnest, and somewhat desperate!

"The Captain is right; what is more painful than despair is that even that tiny spark of hope was snuffed out."

MEI gave a helpless, bitter smile...

Indeed, once the number of Flame-Chasers in the MOTH reached a certain magnitude.

Honkai outbreaks occurring all over the world were suppressed!

Although the strength of Flame-Chasers varied due to individual differences.

Every Flame-Chaser, after fusing with Honkai Beast factors, displayed power no less than an Emperor-class Honkai Beast!

But it wasn't just ordinary humans; even the high-ranking officials of the MOTH, even MEI, saw a glimmer of hope!

Until the appearance of that Herrscher...

At the same time, after this event, MEI reached a new conclusion!

That is, the Honkai has its own consciousness...

As well as thoughts and decision-making capabilities!!!

On the Astral Express...

March 7th looked at the livestream: "The Captain is suddenly so serious, I'm getting a bit nervous."

"Mr. Yang, do you know what happened?"

Welt adjusted his glasses and looked at the livestream: "Do you know why there are thirteen Flame-Chasers?"

March 7th answered preemptively: "I know!"

"It must be because these thirteen people were the most outstanding Flame-Chasers, and also the most powerful!"

"That's why they are called the Thirteen Flame-Chasers!"

"Stories are usually set up like that for heroes."

Stelle nodded: "Agreed..."

Dan Heng spoke up: "If Mr. Welt asks this way, it means the establishment of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers was not that simple."

"Yeah..."

Welt looked at the livestream and spoke slowly: "At first, we didn't know the story behind this."

"Until someone brought the story of the Previous Era to us."

"Only then did we know that the Thirteen Flame-Chasers didn't have much to do with strength."

"It was because..."

"All the other Flame-Chasers sacrificed themselves, and in the end, only thirteen remained."

"That is why there were the Thirteen Flame-Chasers..."

"How could... it be like this..."

March 7th covered her wide-open mouth in surprise, and Stelle also frowned.

Dan Heng looked at Bai Feng in the livestream: "Is this the hope that was snuffed out?"

In the livestream...

Bai Feng composed himself and continued to narrate: "Just when humanity was at its peak, the tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, descended..."

"The Herrscher of Binding's authority can create a force field called the Divine Binding Field."

"Although it is a Herrscher, its ability is a terrifying power that violates the Honkai!"

"Any object within the Divine Binding Field will have its energy flow suppressed, eventually dying from exhaustion."

"Among them, the most severely suppressed is Honkai energy..."

"And the Flame-Chasers of the Previous Era, because they have Honkai Beast factors in their bodies, also use Honkai energy for combat."

"Therefore, the Herrscher of Binding is a natural counter to Flame-Chasers; once shrouded by the Divine Binding Field!"

"No matter how powerful the Flame-Chaser is, they will be suppressed to death..."

"Finally, under Hua's full-force strike, the Herrscher of Binding revealed a tiny gap and was killed by Kevin."

"But this gap was created not just by Hua, but by all the warriors of the MOTH."

"After this battle, only thirteen Flame-Chasers remained in the MOTH!"

"Which are the Thirteen Flame-Chasers currently in the livestream."

"In the Previous Era, the descent of the Herrscher of Binding was also known as—the Tragedy of Binding!"

"The spark of hope for humanity to fight the Honkai, the Flame-Chasers, suffered a crushing defeat..."

【Li Sushang: They... they all died?】

【Herta: This sounds like a Herrscher specifically manufactured by the Honkai to deal with Flame-Chasers?】

【MEI: That is exactly it... The Honkai has its own consciousness and thoughts.】

【Mobius: It was also after that time that we learned the Honkai has its own consciousness.】

【Pardofelis: Wuwuwu... I really almost died back then...】

【Su: That is a battle none of us want to recall.】

【Elysia: After that, I established the Thirteen Flame-Chasers system.】
