Chapter 125: This is..... Honkai
"So yeah, my world is pretty much apocalyptic. Homura is also facing such a situation, but not at a big scale."
Adam walked with confident steps, his hands in his pocket as he explained the situation of his own world
"Oh, of course, there is Jean- but I don't even want to travel to her universe. Who knows when it might be destroyed, and then restored once again? It is something I don't even want to discuss"
He shook his head, having a headache just thinking about the Marvel-verse
"As for the slime and spider…. Well, at least things are stable- in the short term"
The zombies- the honkai corrupted small fry- that were bothering him were all taken care by Olivia
A single slash, or a single mana arrow was all it took.
Occasionally, she also used elemental magic for AOE damage
[Homura: ….You're pessimistic]
"Really?" Adam deadpanned at the camera "Out of all people, you're saying that I am pessimistic?"
The other member didn't really add anything, as they already knew his situation
[Phoenix: Please don't scare me….. Except for mutants and this guy calling himself 'ironman', my world is stable…]
"Have you forgotten about that thing inside you?"
The silver haired boy rolled his eyes at Jean's response
[Red Princess: Phrasing!]
[Phoenix: Um…. That bald magician did something… And 'she' calmed down]
[Phoenix: She also gave me a ring and instructed me to visit her if 'she' appears again]
"Haaah"
He sighed in disappointment
Did that bald-ahem- Ancient One not seal the phoenix?
Well, it was certainly wise of her not to do so…. As if the Phoenix ever awakened, even the Sorcerer Supreme would become ashes
Though from Jean's words… It seemed that her problem was only temporarily solved
It seemed that the task to save the world of Marvel rest upon Adam's shoulder…. again
[Shiraori: That's pretty sus….]
[Homura: Is there someone among us who isn't facing constant threats?]
"Well…. Ask Kazuma" Adam shrugged, a small smirk emerging on his face "For him to get a girlfriend, things must be pretty peaceful around him"
[Kazuma: Why did you suddenly target me?!]
[Kazuma: Besides… Aren't you the same, you bastard?!]
[Just Monika: It seems I was ignored~]
[Good Slime: Is your world real….?]
[Just Monika: ...]
"Oh?"
The silver haired boy suddenly turned his head towards a certain direction
Boom….Boom….Booom
As the ground shook slightly, a huge, white, Honkai beast appeared on the street where a building was located.
Its size is similar to that of an ordinary building, and every time it moves, the ground shakes slightly.
This monster was much larger than any Honkai beast and zombie they had encountered before.
"Ah?
The blue-haired woman had never seen such a scene before. Her eyebrows furrowed, a frown on her face.
"That's bigger than most monsters of my world…."
Olivia unconsciously stepped closer to Adam, her grip tightening as she raised her sword in alarm
And Adam, of course, recognized this thing. In face of this humongous beast, his expression was calm like a still lake
"This is a Templar-class Honkai beast."
He spoke, both for Olivia and the other members of the Chat Room
Compared to other lower-level Honkai beasts that still look like monsters, it is more humanoid and has sword- and spear-like creatures growing on its hands.
[Shiraori: …. Would I get skills if I eat it?]
[Good Slime: +1]
[Good Slime: I am also curious. Will I get any skills from it? Though…. It might not taste good]
[Red Princess: It reminds me of dragons…..Well, not really, but only dragons can grow to such sizes]
[Homura: …. Is this thing made out of silicone?]
[Just Monika: It certainly isn't a carbon-based organism]
"Want to have a go at it?"
He touched his chin and pointed at the temple-level Honkai beast.
This level of Honkai beast is already the pinnacle among the lower-level classes of Honkai beasts.
Above it are only the Emperor Class and the Judgment Class
….. Well, there are also Vipralopa-class and Planet-class, but those are entirely different matters that need no discussion
'Jyahnar- Chtulhu'
Adam shivered
Yeah-no- he's not even mentioning that
Anyway-!
A monster like this would have a stronger ability to sense and search for prey than other lower-level monsters, such as the Knight-class and Chariot-class beasts.
"Mhm, sure"
Olivia nodded, her grip on her sword slowly relaxing
…..
….
…
..
.
"Boom!" "Pow!"
As two voices echoed throughout the wasteland, two more honkai zombies dropped dead
"Bam!" "Pew!"
One voice was of a man's, and the other was feminine
"Hn!" "Eh? 'Hn'? That sounded wrong"
Olivia servant looked at him weirdly after shooting a mana bullet through the skull of a honkai zombie
Without turning his head, Adam positioned his arm behind him, taking aim, and-
POP
A sound echoed once again throughout the ruined city as an ice bullet pierced through the creature's glabella.
Yet another honkai zombie dropped dead
[Kazuma: What are these guys doing?]
[Homura: I'm also confused?]
[Red Princess: They're trying to be 'power couples'.... literally]
BAM…BAM
Two sounds echoed at the same time. A mana bullet piercing a honkai zombie, while an ice bullet pierced another
These projectiles were fired at the same time
[Kazuma: Uh….Cool…?]
[Good Slime: It's indeed cool!]
"...."
The silver haired boy stopped in his tracks, suddenly putting a hand under his chin
"...."
The blue haired woman, as though reading his mind, stopped too
-And indeed
Adam and Olivia were using telepathy to communicate more deeply and make their attacks sync
"Let me just try something"
He spoke out as he shifted his gaze towards the enormous honkai beast at the distance
[Kazuma: Oi! What do you want to do to this innocent best?]
[Just Monika: Are you sure it's innocent~?]
[Phoenix: It…. seems ferocious]
Walking casually in front of it, he looked up into it's pinkish 'eye'. Of course, he ignored how it got ready and attacked-
Shinggg
Because its attack was stopped dead in it's tracks. A transparent, almost illusionary barrier blocking it's spear from piercing Adam
"....."
The silver haired boy looked at it with a deadpan stare
[Homura: ...]
[Red Princess: It seems you are using that imagination magic you got from me quite well….]
[Shiraori: Devil-san, why are you not op yet?!]
[Red Princess: …..]
Ignoring the chatting of the Chat Room, he narrowed his eyes at the honkai beast. His pupil glowed slightly, a faint pressure and fluctuation of honkai being exuded
And then-
Bang
After a slight freeze, the honkai beast bowed. It's body collided with the ground violently, making a sound akin to bullet hitting concrete
[Just Monika: (•̪ o •̪)]
He extended his hand, palm facing the honkai beast
The cloth around his cuff rippled like water. It transformed, turning into a blue jel like organism
[Good Slime: Oh, hey! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )]
[Shiraori: Hey, slime? Is that you?]
[Good Slime: Perhaps....!]
Adam flicked his hand, the blue gel transforming into a similar blue long strip that headed towards the honkai beast at a fast speed
Slash
The blue strip made of slime went straight through the honkai beast
Clack
A dull sound echoed throughout the wasteland as two, equal pieces of the honkai beast dropped on the ground
A clean, severing cut was the thing that separated these two parts
[Kazuma: The fuck? That's overpowered!]
[Kazuma: Damn! I still remember back when you gave me a normal ass sword! And now you have a cool slime suit yourself? Fuck you!]
[Shiraori: Slime, is that actually your body?!]
[Good Slime: It's part of it, yes!]
[Homura: ….What?]
[Just Monika: …..]
[Red Princess: Nothing to say, AI-san?]
[Just Monika: Jokes on you~!]
[Just Monika: He had a part of mine first. And it's in the most important spot~]
[Phoenix: Huh…?]
"Wait"
Adam suddenly raised his hand, causing the members who had yet to react to Monika's suggestive words to stop and look at him
"....."
Turning his head towards a certain direction, he blinked, a mix of conflicting emotion flashing in his eyes.
Through his senses….He could clearly sense a familiar presence
The whites of his eyes turned black for only an instant before it disappeared-
"Haah"
He sighed, confirming with his Jogan, that indeed, the presence he sensed was indeed her
[Kazuma: What's up, dude?]
[Good Slime: Yeah…. Are you okay?]
[Shiraori: Don't worry, if it's a bad person, then I, the huge spider, will eat them!]
[Just Monika: Hm~! You seem…. Sad?]
[Red Princess: ….Didn't expect to see something like this from you, Admin-san]
[Phoenix: Ms.Rias….Why?]
[Red Princess: Hey! Don't call me Miss… It makes me sound older than I actually am!]
[Red Princess: And, uh, I guess I have been too used to seeing this guy calm and domineering while acting like everything was part of his plans… Well, at l-least he was like that m-most of the time]
"....Hey"
After taking a deep breath, Adam put his hands in his pocket
"Haven't you guys always been curious of my past in this world?" He then looked at Olivia who was calmly standing aside and watching him "You too… Olivia"
"Uh, Sure?" The blue haired woman tilted her head "I don't really care… But I wouldn't mind knowing more about you"
[Homura: The past of the Admin of this Chat Room….? Consider me interested]
[Kazuma: +1]
[Just Monika: +1]
[Good Slime: +!]
[Shiraori: Oh… So I don't need to eat anyone…..]
[Shiraori: Well….+1]
[Red Princess: I'm VERY interested]
[Red Princess: +1]
[Phoenix: Uhm…..Me too?]
[Phoenix: +1?]
"Let's go, then"
Adam pointed at a certain direction
"Come, this way"

A/N:
I know some Mei fans (a.e. Simps) are probably getting impatient that she hasn't appeared yet.
Next chapter is Bronya's. And I'm sorry that this chapter didn't have anything relevant for the 'main Trio' of Kiana, Mei, and Bronya....
... But with school and schoolwork, I hadn't managed to finish Bronya's flashback, so I could only resort to uploading only this while working on it
