Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

"This world should belong to everyone! But that's not all. The threat has arrived, and we must fight back."

"I, Merlin Cavendish, hereby pledge to fight with all my might against Otto Apocalypse, who has sided with the Honkai and betrayed humanity."

"At the same time, I will launch Project Avalon."

Chapter 365 Heading to the Moon

"That's a plan that truly... allows everyone to survive in a collapsing world!"

"Project Avalon?"

Iselin, who was standing to the side, was also confused when she heard Merlin talk about the Avalon Project. She had never heard of this project before.

"That's right, it's Project Avalon! It's the initial result of the research on scientific beacons and one of the core concepts of Project Avalon."

"Project Avalon is a plan that can change the world order. If it succeeds, it can at least allow half... or even more of humanity to survive the global collapse."

"To ensure the success of this plan, I need your help... and also Fimiris's help."

You won't refuse, will you?

"Me and...Fimilis!?"

Iserly was also a little puzzled as to how this plan was related to her and Fimiris.

……

"The audience's emotions will be much more intense than ever before. But this also means that the main stage is very well prepared."

“Otto’s speech could be considered a coincidence, but your speech was truly a mess.” This was Situ Qinghong’s heartfelt assessment of Meilin’s speech. “People won’t be calmed down by this.”

“It’s okay, they have the right to know the truth and vent their frustrations.”

"I just don't know if the higher-ups of the Human Union can satisfy everyone."

Merlin smiled sarcastically as she recalled the high-ranking members of the alliance; this time, they could no longer hide their true colors.

In the following time, Merlin gathered everyone together.

"Thank you all for your assistance. I will keep my promise and assemble the space force to depart early tomorrow morning. We will transfer to the headquarters of the Human Rights Union tonight."

"Headquarters? The troops that just captured this place were clearly from the Human Rights Alliance."

“Right now, those high-ups are busy dealing with the Honkai disaster and the public’s discontent. They don’t have the energy to deal with us.” Merlin also answered Bronya’s question. “Besides, without those people who only covet technology getting in the way, the Human Union will only become more united.”

"It seems you also intend to participate in the battle on the moon."

Mei also realized that Merlin seemed to want to participate in this plan as well.

"For the Avalon Project to succeed, it's necessary for me to work with you. Heh, no need to be so cautious~ Now we share the same goal."

Merlin also had Iserline explain the Avalon plan to them, since they clearly trusted Iserline more than she did.

"Simply put, it's about using a device to allow Femilis to access the global network."

"On this basis, let Femilis connect to as many mechanical creations as possible around the world, reverse-engineer the technological beacons, and use them for our own purposes."

"Could it be that Femilis can also transform into that giant robot from before?!"

"Divine machines are just one application of technological beacons... If the crack is successful, Fimiris can truly achieve global, undifferentiated technological synchronization and rapidly produce anti-Honkai equipment."

"Isn't that just like a mechanical god who manages the world..."

This also reminded Jiuxiao of the Alaya consciousness from the previous world, at which time He undoubtedly deserved the title of God of Civilization.

"You can understand it that way, except that there is no equipment on Earth that can easily realize this plan, so... my destination is the Cardinal War God Space Station."

"Thanks to Bronya for awakening the War God, we discovered this space station that assists the War God's orbital cannon."

"The transport planes will be ready in an hour, so don't delay."

An hour later, led by Merlin, the group headed to the headquarters of the Human Alliance. Their plan would begin there. As many warships took off, Merlin's plan was about to begin.

"This time, I will serve as the fleet's overall commander, with Femilis as the fleet's support system, to complete the entire space station landing operation."

"Even so, to arrive alive, the strength of each and every one of us is indispensable."

"We are currently inside the Moon Throne, an aerial warship. Once we take off, it's as if we're going to live and die with the warship!"

"The Honkai will not let us succeed so easily... There will be a difficult battle ahead."

"But for the sake of all mankind, and for yourselves, strive to survive!"

Under Merlin's solemn declaration, the Moonlight Throne battleship took off, naturally encountering countless Honkai Beasts along the way. However, in Merlin's calculations, this marked the official start of the battle between humanity and the Honkai.

Meanwhile, Situ Qinghong also found Totori, but naturally did not want Wendy, a Herrscher, to come along, so the two began to fight.

The gale whipped up rubble and the wind blades tore through the clouds. Although Situ Qinghong was not weak, he was no match for Wendy. Her casual antics were enough to bring the earth to the brink of collapse.

"Phew~ I can't play anymore, or the little bird will get angry."

Muttering a dissatisfied remark, Wendy slowly withdrew from the battle.

Compared to fighting, destroying humanity, and crushing civilization, such trivial matters are nothing compared to playing with a human named Little Bird.

"Humanity...loneliness...hatred..."

Just then, a voice that Wendy disliked popped into her head.

"Calamity is about to pollute the heavens."

"Your duty...your purpose..." A strange voice rang out, and Wendy felt a sharp headache coming on. She yelled, "What purpose? Destroying the world can be done anytime, right?!"

"The guardians of the sky... humanity, annihilate them all."

"Tsk... Fine, I know, okay? I'm not fighting anymore, I'm going right now!" Wendy clicked her tongue. "Little Bird will scold me for breaking my promise, but she lies all the time, so it doesn't matter!"

With a wave of her hand, Wendy flew into the sky, her beautiful figure piercing through the clouds in an instant, heading towards the ascending warship.

……

Meanwhile, the other council members of the Human Union also took to the air with their warships modeled after Merlin's.

"They've finally arrived, Femilis, connect to the reinforcement fleet."

"Received! Data link, target: all warships in the area!"

Femilis also tried to connect all the warships, and to her surprise, the warships were all taken over very smoothly.

"Once a country learns about this technology, it will rush to conduct research and development, pooling global resources and applying the original technology. That's about the extent of it."

"There are about twenty such seabed surfaces around the world. Those who are willing to fight are all like-minded people within the Human Alliance, but judging from the current situation, it would be an optimistic number if we could eventually gather about three hundred."

"Warning! High-speed moving entity detected, entity name unidentifiable!" Fimiris also detected a high-speed flying object approaching. "What is that...?"

"All ships, prepare for battle against the Herrscher."

At this time, Merlin also notified all the fleets that, according to the intelligence from the Shenzhou Council, the Herrscher of Wind began to head towards the fleet.

"Leave it to me. If the opponent is a Herrscher, we'll use the Godslayer Armor to fight them."

"No."

"Why?! Given the strength of a Herrscher, aerial combat is extremely disadvantageous for us!"

"As long as I use the God-Slaying Armor, I should be able to contend with it on an equal footing!"

"If you use the Godslayer Armor continuously at high intensity for a short period of time, your body will break down first."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Otto unleashes the Honkai Will... I won't allow our trump card against the Honkai Will to be destroyed here!"

Merlin stopped Mei from going to deal with the Herrscher of the Wind, because if the trump card against the gods were used here, then humanity would be doomed.

"If it gets shot down now, there's even less chance of any follow-up!"

However, Merlin insisted that Rita take Mei to rest, leaving the rest to the warships.

Chapter 366 Wendy's Retreat

"War God Railgun, ready, charging in progress, calibration in progress."

Alarms sounded inside all the warships, and all kinds of turrets went into high alert, aiming at the Herrscher in the sky.

"Warning, individual reaction is approaching, 4, 3, 2, 1, coming!"

Rumble!!

Artillery fire scorched the sky, and air currents tore through the clouds.

The warship unleashed all its firepower simultaneously, almost covering the entire azure sky and turning it crimson.

However, Wendy, who was in the center of the flames, walked out as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, so easily defeated. You called me over in such a hurry just for this."

Wendy waved her hand gently, and the tornado in her hand instantly crushed the surrounding missile fragments into dust, which fell to the ground as debris.

"It can be done in a flash."

……

"Fight back immediately, don't hold back your ammunition!"

When Merlin saw Wendy shredding all the warships like vegetables, she knew she couldn't hold back any longer and immediately ordered everyone to use up all the ammunition.

Another barrage of missiles was launched from the warship, but Wendy's figure seemed to transform into the wind, soaring and circling in the sky, easily dodging them.

"It won't hit me! Can a missile that can't turn really hit me? Of course... even one that can turn can't hit me."

Wendy found this utterly boring, like playing with these little kids, or even worse than playing house.

Rumble!

"Hit!"

Attracted by Wendy, the War God Railgun successfully hit her as well.

"How about it?"

"Target detected, reaction disappeared! We... won!"

"Very good, keep going."

Since the enemy had been dealt with, Merlin ordered them to continue advancing.
