The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Kevin burped.

"Full?" Kevin was taken aback.

"What did you put in the instant noodles?" Kevin asked Chen Li.

Kevin felt not only full, but also that his energy had returned to its peak.

"It's friendship and bonds. I added friendship and bonds to my instant noodles. And it turns out that friendship and bonds can be a meal in themselves," Chen Li said with great emotion.

In order to prevent Kevin from devouring the super-ultimate, judgment-class, ancient, unique, mythical, legendary, judgment-class Honkai Beast that he had already prepared to subdue—Chi You.

Chen Li decided to feed Kevin first, so he stuffed three Senzu Beans into the instant noodles.

Please, that's Chi You, he's super handsome!

Chen Li couldn't even imagine how high his win rate would be if he used Chi You to participate in the Honkai Impact 3rd Global League!

“Alright, let’s give the rest of the time to Möbius. She seems to have something very important to say to everyone.” Chen Li gestured to everyone in the conference room, and everyone’s attention was focused on Möbius, who was fiddling with the PowerPoint presentation, including Chen Li himself.

Because Chen Li didn't know what Mebius wanted to say.

This surprise meeting was held at Möbius's request.

"After Chen Li authorized Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent to create the Poké Ball manufacturing template, some finished products were produced within just one hour. Since the production line has not yet been established, the products are limited. Everyone can observe and use them." Under Mebius's command, Velvet distributed the Poké Balls to her "never-before-seen" friends one by one.

Vilvi felt that the other person was looking at her with a complicated gaze, and the feeling of being completely unaware of it was quite nice.

“These Poké Balls are unrestricted, modified versions that can be used to capture any tangible creature, including humans. Of course, in future licensing agreements, these modified Poké Balls will no longer be manufactured. If you’re interested, feel free to try them out on each other. Anyway, if you manage to catch one, you can release it, so no problem,” Mabius gestured to the group.

Looking at the Poké Balls that had been distributed to her, Fu Hua recalled the three times Chen Li had ambushed her.

But is it really okay to try this on a friend?

"Bang!" Three Poké Balls were thrown by Big Gresh, and they accurately hit Fu Hua, Kevin, and Su.

"???"

Kevin, Su, and Hua were all completely dumbfounded.

I told you to throw it, and you actually did?

However, since all three were in perfect condition, all three Poké Balls were bounced away.

But none of the three were angry.

After all, it's Greta.

It's normal to be a little mischievous.

"Hehehe." Big Grey scratched her head sheepishly.

"Alright, I believe everyone here has either experimented with Poké Balls or been experimented with by them. Poké Balls are an important way for humans to coexist peacefully with Honkai or Honkai Beasts in the future. However, the key is how to ensure that humans can be in contact with Honkai Beasts for a long time without being corrupted by Honkai."

“So it’s important to perform surgery on the Cocoon of the End and then distribute the Stigmata as game qualifications through the Cocoon of the End, but that’s the problem we need to worry about. And the problem you four need to worry about is…” Mebius’s gaze fell on Fu Hua, Kevin Sue, and Grand Gretchen.

"What is it?"

"How can we make the public accept coexisting with the Honkai without feeling any sense of incongruity? Based on this consideration, Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and our World Serpent all need to appoint someone as a spokesperson to represent the Honkai's approachability. Therefore, this meeting is to resolve the issue of who will become this spokesperson," Möbius said.

As an organization left over from a previous civilization, the World Serpent, along with Sue, Kevin, Fu Hua, and Gretchen, the four heroes of the Thirteen Heroes of Fire, can indeed be considered as part of the World Serpent faction in a legal sense.

So there's nothing wrong with what Mebius said.

"Which will Heaven choose, or will Anti-Entropy choose?" Kevin then demonstrated his leadership as the foremost hero of the Fire Chaser.

After learning about the basic situation of this world from Gray Serpent, Kevin also learned what organizations Destiny and Anti-Entropy were.

Although Kevin had some reservations about the fact that the name of the alliance of the three Honkai organizations was Houmu Paradise, it wasn't a big problem.

“Destiny chose former Archbishop Otto to assume the role of a sickly person, aiming to make use of waste. Anti-Entropy chose Walter, the leader of the Anti-Merchant Alliance, to assume the role of vitality. I don’t know what kind of madness these two organizations have gone through, actually planning to make these two idols?” Möbius was very puzzled by this.

There are countless ways to become a brand ambassador, so why choose an idol?

"An idol? That sounds like a great way to attract popularity. Wait a minute, aren't Otto, the former Archbishop of Schicksal, and Welt, the leader of Anti-Entropy, both male?" Kevin noticed the key point.

"That's right! Those two organizations are really despicable! They actually tried to suppress the other two organizations by making boys into idols and creating an abstract strategy, hoping to attract more trainers to join after Poké Balls become popular all over the world. So our Serpent cannot fall behind!" Mebius said, pressing down on the lectern.

"..." Kevin and Sue exchanged a glance, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

“So, for the sake of the World Serpent… Kevin, go debut as an idol.” Mebius looked at Kevin.

"Wait a minute, shouldn't the choice be between me and Su? Why does it have to be me?"

“Because Su looks too androgynous, making him an idol wouldn’t be abstract,” Möbius shook his head.

"???"

"Kevin, think about it seriously."

"???" by Chen Li.

Chen Li was also stunned, even more so than everyone else.

Chen Li didn't know why things had developed to this point.

It seems that it might be because of... the Pleasure Dice?

Chen Li came to the Honkai civilization this time to tell the Joyful Dice about the difficulties he encountered: he wanted to make the Honkai world a positive, sunny, healthy and uplifting world!

But isn't this a bit too positive, sunny, and healthy?

Chen Li was still pondering why the Joyful Dice hadn't caused any trouble during his efforts to resolve the Thunder Law incident, save Changkong City, capture Otto, and unite the three organizations fighting against Honkai—Fate, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent—instead of making things go very smoothly. But he hadn't expected the biggest surprise to come!

Dude, is this reasonable?

Did I start the trend of Houmu by using trendsetting props and burn your brains?

Or did the Pleasure Dice tamper with the process?

Why did you choose to debut Otto from Schicksal, Welt from Anti-Entropy, and Kevin from World Serpent, instead of Theresa, Durandal, and Rita from Schicksal, Bronya, Seele, Tesla, and even Dr. Einstein from Anti-Entropy, and Raven from World Serpent?

And the first two people actually agreed?

Chen Li didn't understand and didn't dare to ask.

Chen Li was afraid that people would find out that the side effects were caused by his use of the Pleasure Dice.

Because the influence of artifact blacksmiths on artifacts is minimized, Chen Li felt out of place among these people.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, once the trend of liking Houmu fades, the trend of debuting male idols will also fade away.

Since it was harmless, Chen Li decided not to interfere.

“Okay, if it really is about fighting the Honkai and saving the world... then I can give it a try.” Kevin stood up.

Kevin once made a promise to the burning earth that no matter the cost, humanity would surely defeat the Honkai!

Even if it's... debuting as an idol myself!

"Slap!" Chen Li slapped himself across the face.

Don't make that sound so dramatic, you jerk!

Chapter 243 The Cocoon of the End, Being Shaped by Chen Li (10k)

"Are you ready?"

"I'm ready!"

"I'll ask you one more time, are you ready?"

"We are ready!"

"Ready, let's go!"

"...Is this really necessary?" The Spring Spirit, who was currently using Kiana's body, couldn't help but ask.

"necessary."

"But aren't your current looks a bit too peculiar?"

"No, I think it's perfectly normal." With Kevin on his waist, holding Mebius with his left arm and Velvi with his right, and Alicia riding on his neck, Chen Li didn't feel anything was wrong at all.

"...Then can you tell me why you're attacking in this style?"

"Kevin, as the former first hero of the civilization who was willing to pay any price to defeat the Honkai, would naturally not miss the chance to witness the end of the Honkai, right?"

"Yes."

This makes sense.

“Mebius is the surgeon, so he can't be absent, right?”

"Yes."

That makes sense. You can't have the patient already in the operating room and then not have the doctor come, can you?

"As the person who's supposed to temporarily create these strange artifacts there, I can't be absent, right?"

"Yes."

"Vilvie just wanted to join in the fun...we could have just left her behind."

“No, I disagree,” Vervi protested.
