Star 237: Humanity will surely defeat the Honkai.
"Red Kite, do you see that mutant over there? Use your fists to attack it!"
On the edge of the city, Bai Zhi pointed to an extremely heavy-looking aberration and spoke to Fu Hua.
Seemingly because they were too close, the mutants on the other side also noticed the two of them, and then roared and rolled over with a force that shook the ground.
Seeing Fu Hua hesitate, Bai Zhi patted her on the back. "Have courage. You can't spend your whole life in the clinic. You have a long life ahead of you. This is something you have to go through."
Fu Hua paused for a moment. Her instincts still made her afraid of the enormous monster, but reason told her that she had to face it all.
At least for now, everything is still virtual, so even if you get crushed to dust, you won't die.
If she encountered something like that in real life, she might be so scared that she wouldn't be able to walk.
The enormous monster was getting closer and closer, and Fu Hua could even feel the fear of such a colossal creature emanating from her genes bursting forth in her mind.
"Hua, calm down, calm down..."
She took a deep breath and, feeling the fierce wind rushing towards her, decisively swung her fist.
The combined power of the rabbit and ox talismans, when applied to her, actually blocked the terrifying monster's attack.
"That's right, just like that. Use the feeling you have when you practice martial arts, treat this monster as a target, and launch an attack on it."
Perhaps because she withstood the monster's attack, Fu Hua became noticeably braver.
My mind, which was blank with fear, suddenly conjured up a multitude of moves.
Her fists began to move instinctively. With the blessing of the rabbit talisman, she punched like a platinum star, countless fist shadows appeared in front of her, and then all of them slammed into the monster.
The mountain-sized monster trembled violently, utterly powerless to retaliate, and could only let out deafening howls.
The entire battle didn't last long, not even a minute, before the advanced mutant was turned into a pile of mud by the barrage of punches.
It would be a perfect ingredient for making meatballs.
[Ding! You have helped Fu Hua resolve some of her inner conflicts and have gained 20 points to unlock the Horse Talisman]
As Fu Hua stared blankly at everything in front of her, the system notification arrived as expected.
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. "That's really true... Mental illness is far more painful than physical ailments. Is merely curing the physical body not considered a complete cure?"
Upon seeing the system's notification, Bai Zhi felt that perhaps Feng Rao's ideas were a bit narrow-minded.
Or perhaps the Goddess of Longevity and Plague should step down and give her the position of Goddess of Abundance.
"How do you feel now?"
Bai Zhi walked to Fu Hua's side and asked softly.
"I...feel like this isn't real."
Fu Hua looked at the green, mutated blood on her hand, her emotions somewhat complicated.
"Hmm, what feels unreal?"
“They are indeed achievable, I’m sure. If I encounter those beings again, I won’t be afraid. But I don’t have the power to defeat them. Right now, that power is just an illusion.”
She knew that she was in a virtual world, and Bai Zhi had given her powerful abilities.
But in reality, she remains a weak and powerless high school student.
At most, this game will prevent her from being stunned and scared to death when she encounters similar situations.
"Well, you have to believe one thing: that is, humans may not be such fragile beings. When faced with a crisis, they will always use their wisdom."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and then said.
"Hey, it's too early to talk about this now. This game isn't over yet. Let's search around for any survivors. If we find any, it might give you a new understanding of human resilience."
Fu Hua nodded. At least this was a hard-won opportunity, so she should observe and learn as much as possible.
"boom!"
The loud noise attracted the attention of Bai Zhi and Fu Hua.
"Hey, something seems to have happened over there. Let's go check it out."
Fu Hua nodded and quickly moved with Bai Zhi to the place where the loud noise had come from.
"Flame Spear, charge!"
Upon arrival, a burst of flames rushed towards them, accompanied by shouts.
Bai Zhi was all too familiar with that sound and attack. Xing and March 7th were there, unleashing their skills to attack the aberrations that were swarming around them.
"Wow, it's Angelica dahurica! We're actually assigned to the same city."
As an archer, March 7th spotted Bai Zhi and Fu Hua with keen eyes.
"Yes, Sister March 7th, what a coincidence! Do you need my help?"
"Don't come here, it's too dangerous. There are too many enemies. Xingye and I are preparing to run away."
On March 7th, Xingye shouted, and Xingye nodded solemnly, signaling Baizhi not to approach.
"It's alright, it's a minor issue."
Bai Zhi smiled, stretched out her hand, and the ground began to separate into soil. Then, this soil twisted in her will and turned into something that Bai Zhi was very familiar with.
Then, Bai Zhi snapped her fingers.
These figures made of mud immediately came to life.
"Impossible!"
These entities immediately issued an electronic warning, and then suddenly rushed towards the aberrations that had noticed Bai Zhi and Fu Hua and were gathering around them.
With a single strike, these enemies were instantly pierced through.
"These things... are they the gate towers of those immortal ships?"
Seeing these moving beings, March 7 was first stunned, then exclaimed in surprise. She and Xing had encountered these golden figures many times when they were traveling on the Immortal Ship, and they had left a deep psychological shadow on them.
This thing is far stronger than the mechs of Beloberg; ordinary Destiny Walkers would be easily defeated by it.
Angelica dahurica can create something like this so easily; its power is way too much.
The others are probably still struggling to fight the mutants or hiding in some secluded places.
Bai Zhi is practically cheating.
"Little Baizhi, what kind of initial ability did you draw? It's outrageous."
With the help of the Golden Man, the pressure on March 7th was greatly reduced, allowing him to get close to Bai Zhi and ask with a face full of curiosity.
"It's a secret~"
Bai Zhi said mysteriously.
March 7th pouted, "Little Baizhi is really keeping me in suspense, but she's really amazing. She can create these city gate towers, so I don't even have to kill monsters myself. That's great."
"Unlike Xing and me, who were drawn with our original abilities, we are not good at outputting damage, so our monster-killing efficiency is too low, and it's also very tiring."
"It's alright, anyway, Sister March 7th is allied with us, so we can enjoy these benefits too."
"That's right, Angelica dahurica is allied with us. As expected of me, I cleverly agreed."
March 7th laughed foolishly.
Bai Zhi glanced around. Under the attack of the Jin gatekeeper, the mutants were practically routed and had no power to resist.
That's quite normal. After all, even in an interstellar power like the Immortal Ship, the Golden Gatekeeper is a very powerful unit, and placing him here would give them a significant advantage.
Even though these golden gatekeepers created from rat talismans are not as good as the original.
"Sister March 7th, next, I plan to gather some survivors. More people means more strength, which will help us get through the later stages."
"Yes, that's what I think too. Those people are really pitiful. Even if they are just a string of data, at least for now, they have real feelings, so I want to save them."
"I didn't expect Sister March 7th to have such a savior complex," Bai Zhi teased.
"Who doesn't dream of being a savior? I quite like those protagonists who save the world."
“Yes, that’s right. Sister March 7th is so beautiful, she’s perfect to be the mascot of the rescue team,” Bai Zhi said in strong agreement.
"I'm not a mascot. A pure and cute pink-clad beauty like me is definitely the main character."
"Usually, pink-haired girls are actually black-hearted," Xing remarked as she walked over with her flame gun.
"No, that's not true at all! Cute girls are gifts from heaven!"
“I wholeheartedly agree,” Bai Zhi said, raising both hands.
"Since we're going to prepare to save the world, let's design a team name and logo. That's called a sense of ritual."
March 7th was full of excitement.
“Indeed, a team definitely needs something representative,” Bai Zhi agreed.
"I think we should call it Savior. It's simple and direct. The team logo will be the image of this flaming spear in my hand. I've even thought of a slogan: No matter the cost, humanity will surely overcome everything!"
Xing stroked her chin and nodded with great satisfaction. "I think this is very cool."
"That's too straightforward. Using a weapon as a team emblem is as old-fashioned as an old-school shonen anime. Why not use my ice crystal as the team emblem?"
March 7th rolled her eyes at Xing and stretched out her hand, conjuring a patch of ice crystal flowers.
"Look, it represents the purity and innocence of hope, and it's much better than your weapon emblem."
"It's actually quite good."
"And what about Angelica dahurica? If it were you, what kind of shape would you want to make it?"
"Me?" Bai Zhi tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Just a dragon head, nothing special. If I had to name it, I'd call it Immortal."
"Immortal, why is it called that?"
March 7th was somewhat puzzled; this didn't sound like some kind of savior organization.
"Because of the passing down of human spirit, the spirit of resistance and unwillingness will continue to be passed down and become immortal, which is why I came up with this name."
Bai Zhi offered an explanation.
"I see."
March 7th nodded knowingly.
"And what about Chi Yuan? If you were in charge, what kind of team logo and name would you like to design?"
Bai Zhi then posed the question to Fu Hua.
"Hey, me?"
Fu Hua was somewhat surprised. Would her opinion be sought on this matter as well?
"That's right, it's your idea. Let me hear it."
238 Rakshasa: Destiny, what a good name!
"Hey, me?"
Fu Hua was somewhat surprised, as she didn't have many opinions of her own, and few people asked her for her thoughts.
"Yes, that's right. As a member of the team, everyone has the right to express their own ideas."
“Yes, Xiao Baizhi is right. These kinds of things should be discussed and agreed upon,” San Yueqi said with a smile.
"Let me think... If I were to name it, I'd probably call it Tai Chi..."
When Fu Hua mentioned this word, she paused again and shook her head. "This name still won't work. Since it also comes from the I Ching, let's call it Taixu. As for the team logo, let's use the yin-yang symbol."
"It sounds like a classy name, but I still think my choice is the best," March 7th said confidently, hands on hips.
"Ah, this story seems so familiar."
In an unknown place, a purple-haired woman holding a katana stared blankly at the program playing on a large screen.
It's as if something I've experienced before is being replayed in this virtual world.
The only difference from similar stories is that this time there is an additional person who never existed.
