During the long week of revival, Jun'an finally achieved his first victory against the Fusion Warriors.
At last, Jun'an could hold his head high as a man! Even if he was a bit sore.
After the battle, Jun'an lay in Himeko's embrace, enjoying the softness of his pillow rest. With nothing else to do, he could squeeze the two spheres larger than a baby's head to alleviate his boredom.
"Indeed, it's quite difficult to recreate Mobius and Captain's position," he mused.
After they finished, Himeko began to analyze, "For example, standing for long periods is troublesome. I have to half-squat, and that position feels rather awkward."
Currently, Himeko's waist was about 90 centimeters to a meter high, while Jun'an was only about 1.4 meters tall. Her long legs had indeed become an obstacle to their enjoyment.
Jun'an himself wasn't too fond of that position either, having to stand on tiptoes to fully engage.
Honestly, it felt strange having to stand on tiptoes to reach. If Himeko raised her hips any higher, Jun'an wondered if he'd have to jump?
Fortunately, Himeko wasn't particularly interested in S&M, so she didn't tease Jun'an deliberately, but rather was quite accommodating in this aspect.
"By the way, can we find any ready missions for hunting Honkai beasts?" Jun'an hadn't forgotten what he'd said to Elysia earlier - about hunting high-energy Honkai entities. If they were putting on a show, they might as well go all out.
Himeko stroked the Captain's head as he nursed at her sphere, gritting her teeth against the ticklish sensation: "The frequency of Honkai appearances is much lower now than before the Great Honkai. While we can still find Honkai somewhere in the world, high-energy individuals..."
"Let's check the war zones."
Himeko stretched out her hand to caress the Captain's mighty weapon while stimulating him, saying: "Because World Serpent once made black market money by providing Fusion Warrior technology to certain countries, even now when Honkai energy is becoming scarce, they still possess enough power to overthrow a nation."
For ordinary people, even regular Valkyrie squads created by Schicksal using artificial Stigmata could rival an army. Not to mention the Fusion Warriors, who averaged at near S-rank level, except for ones like Kevin.
Even Himeko, with sufficient intelligence, could single-handedly destroy a third-rate country within two weeks. For countries without Honkai energy weapons, other Fusion Warriors were like walking nuclear missiles that could be used repeatedly, with their only cost being a meal - much cheaper than an actual missile.
"War zone? Is Schicksal planning to intervene in the war?" Jun'an was surprised while enjoying himself. Were people really bold enough to start wars during Earth's reconstruction period?
Besides, it felt somewhat inappropriate for Schicksal to intervene in mortal conflicts.
Himeko's answer was straightforward, "All Honkai energy weapons fall under Schicksal's jurisdiction, including Fusion Warriors."
Jun'an understood this - before Honkai energy could be used by humans like ordinary energy, such things were controlled materials, and the controller was naturally the organization with the most Honkai energy: Schicksal.
Himeko reluctantly moved away from the Captain's back, crawling in front of him like a milk cow lowering its head to graze.
Himeko continued between gasps, "Because... *hiss*... the Honkai just ended a year ago, but its effects continue. Many regions are still in chaos."
"The biggest impact naturally came from the Thousand Herrschers causing political instability, with many countries going to war due to their interference, and it hasn't stopped yet."
In this world, the Thousand Herrschers' power allowed each Herrscher individual to possess strength rivaling a Pseudo-Herrscher, whether it be fire, ice, or reason, among others.
Combined with the new power granted by the Final Cradle to control their theater, they almost overwhelmed the three major organizations - after all, that was a thousand Pseudo-Herrschers!
Compared to the later Binding Herrscher who was possessed by Otto right after birth and only caused a small disturbance in the Elysian Realm, the Corruption Herrscher who only fought in lunar orbit, and Kevin - these were the true scourge that plagued the entire world.
Afraid of tiring himself from repeated nodding, Jun'an fed the food back and forth to Himeko's mouth, where she only needed to move her tongue.
While enjoying the smooth, soft sensation of this dangerous situation, he asked puzzledly: "Two countries with Fusion Warriors are still at war? They've been fighting for so long?"
Although Himeko's speech was somewhat unclear, this wasn't their first such conversation, and Jun'an could roughly understand what she meant.
Jun'an remembered that the Thousand Herrschers incident was already a year and a half ago. Even with Fusion Warriors on both sides, the war shouldn't have lasted this long, right?
Usually, battles between powerful individual forces were quick and decisive, weren't they? Even dealing with the Thousand Herrschers hadn't taken Jun'an more than three months.
"Actually, it's not that both countries have Fusion Warriors - it's two countries at war, and one side hired a Fusion Warrior."
Jun'an was quite curious. "Hired?"
After being fed roughly two hundred times, Himeko lowered her head to swallow a large amount of fresh milk. Two minutes later, after swallowing the thick milk, she continued to explain: "That Fusion Warrior is the leader of a mercenary group, originally a World Serpent executive, but later left Kevin. When World Serpent's influence waned, they left to become a raven-like mercenary."
"But because the price was very high, that country hesitated for a long time before hiring them, which led to the one-sided battle situation. Want to go?"
Himeko didn't really care much about this matter, as Schicksal had already sent people to investigate. They would get results after some time whether Jun'an went or not - it was just a matter of sooner or later.
"Of course we'll go take a look!"
Jun'an was somewhat eager, after all, when a person lacks something, they begin to look forward to it.
Since returning to Earth, he'd been living a normal retired life, and in the week since coming back here, he'd been living an intimate life. Naturally, he was quite keen to have a good fight and experience the feeling of battle again.
Additionally, he wanted to test his current combat strength to plan for future battles.
Jun'an continued asking: "How long will it take to get there?"
Himeko turned around, exposing her most vulnerable spot to the Captain like a hungry milk cow waiting for sustenance, seductively asking: "Does the Captain want to go faster or slower?"
"Faster," Jun'an grabbed Himeko's child-bearing hips and began repeated joining, "This matter, after all... involves lives, faster... is better."
"Mm☆~ Then three hours."
She turned back somewhat dissatisfied, then called out to Helios' cockpit: "AI-chan☆~ To the South African war zone~, where Schicksal has been executing missions lately~ Mm, at maximum speed~"
AI-chan: "Am I some kind of cheap thing?"
