Act 5 (Part 2) — The Geometry of Shattered Stars
[ Location: Yagami Star System — Ruan Mei’s Laboratory ]
[ POV: Ruan Mei ]
The following morning, I stepped into my primary study carrying a warm cup of herbal tea.
Setting the porcelain cup on my desk, I activated the central terminal and initiated a secure data bridge, syncing the newly acquired Honkai Beast telemetry from Void Archives directly into my supercomputer, Zhī Shēng.
While the file transfer initialized, I pulled up the dynamic genetic simulation for Skaracabaz.
The triple-helix DNA structure projected into the room, pulsating with fragmented amber light.
Viewing the current sequence, the gaps in its genetic code were painfully obvious:
-> Quantum Energy Conversion & Utilization Strands (Missing)
-> Environmental Adaptability Matrix (Corrupted)
-> Stellar-Scale Metabolism (Incomplete)
-> Propagation Path Energy Converter (Missing)
-> Regeneration Factor (Severely degraded)
Fortunately, the primary sequence strands governing mass duplication and self-destruction remained intact.
Using our baseline data, I generated a synthesized genome and launched a full resurrection trial inside Zhī Shēng.
The virtual construct materialized, flickered, and immediately began to break down.
The simulation metrics flooded my monitor with red warnings:
-> Path Energy Output: Capped at a meager 5% of its historical peak.
-> Genetic Stability: Highly volatile; rapidly decaying toward total structural failure.
-> Divinity Link: Missing the mutated gene sequence forged when Tayzzyronth ascended as an Aeon.
-> Replication Window: Mass duplication functional only within the first 30 seconds post-emergence.
-> Structural Decay: Exhibiting symptoms akin to Entropy Loss Syndrome; rapid, unrecoverable loss of physical mass.
-> Lifespan: Exactly 56 seconds before total cellular collapse into raw Quantum energy.
-> Path Anchor: No operational connection to Tayzzyronth to stabilize energy throughput.
A soft chime signaled that the Honkai Beast data transfer had reached 100%.
I cleared the failed simulation screen and opened the newly ingested biological archive.
‘Silicon-based entities capable of seamless genetic assimilation with carbon-based organisms…
How utterly captivating.’
A comprehensive list of usable Honkai Beast genetic profiles materialized before me:
-> Maheśvara
-> Vishnu
-> Śeṣa
-> Mahāmāyūrī This chapter is updated first at g.com.
-> Asura
-> Benares
-> Chiyou
-> Ganesha
-> Parvati
-> Padishah
-> Ramiel
-> Raziel
-> Sumo
I began dissecting the DNA strands of the Honkai Beasts, isolating the specific genetic bridges required to patch Skaracabaz’s fundamental flaws:
Vishnu: Replaced the energy devouring sequences to match the original Swarm’s consumption profile.
Śeṣa: Patched the cellular regeneration loop to stabilize the self-duplication decay.
Maheśvara: Substituted the missing Tayzzyronth sequence, utilizing its ambient energy absorption trait to mimic divine authority.
Benares: Integrated elemental multi phase generation.
Chiyou: Implemented stellar-scale matter consumption, converting raw cosmic material directly into Path energy.
Ganesha: Added kinetic shockwave synthesis for targeted area suppression.
With the missing sequences filled by Honkai Beast DNA, I triggered the synthesis compilation in the simulation.
Even with Zhī Shēng’s immense processing power, the run time showed a remaining duration of three hours.
‘I will need to expand its computational hardware matrix soon.’
Leaving the computer to compile, I turned my attention to the concentrated Honkai energy sample Kiana had provided.
As a strict safety precaution, I deployed a multi-layered forcefield around the central scanning bed before retrieving the containment orb from dimensional storage and placing it beneath the sensors.
Within minutes, the first wave of analytical data appeared on my screen.
Just as Kiana had described, its nature possessed a striking resemblance to the Nihility an invasive, corrosive force that dissolved and assimilated everything it touched.
Yet, under the containment field, its adaptability was staggering.
It could shift its fundamental state effortlessly based on external stimuli.
It was easy to see why Kiana referred to it as a near-omnipotent energy it was the ultimate litmus test for a civilization’s right to endure.
‘Why…
why does this feel so strangely familiar?
As if I have studied this energy long before today…’
Without warning, a sharp, white-hot pain split through my skull.
I gasped, my teacup slipping from my hand and shattering on the floor.
I clutched my head with both hands, dropping to my knees as the room spun wildly.
Visions flashed violently behind my eyelids shattered Galaxies, burning Worlds, and a battle fought on an unimaginable, apocalyptic scale.
‘Memory alteration?!
Is it possible?
What kind of cosmic entity could tamper with my mind…
Mythus?
Fuli?
I have had no dealings with them that would warrant such intervention…’
The agonizing headache lingered for ten excruciating minutes before slowly receding into a dull ache.
Kneeling on the polished floor, I took a few slow, steadying breaths, forcing my breathing to normalize.
I immediately ran a deep medical scan on my body, but the results came back clean no neural tissue damage, no external Path residue.
Rising back to my feet, I brushed off my skirt, turned back to the terminal, and wiped the shattered porcelain off the floor with a flick of a wrist.
I pulled up the updated simulation, combining the Honkai energy matrix as a fuel source alongside the hybrid Honkai Beast DNA strands.
The updated simulation results were nothing short of breathtaking.
The synthesized Skaracabaz had evolved into a stable hybrid life form a near seamless fusion of carbon and silicon biology.
-> Energy Output: Jumped to 50% of peak historical records.
-> Voracity Traits: Gained consumption parameters matching Aeon of Voracity , devouring ambient matter indiscriminately.
-> Combat Lifespan: Extended from 56 seconds to a full 24 hours at maximum power output.
-> Replication Rate: Mass duplication speed increased by 300%, with the active duplication phase extending to 12 hours.
-> Regenerative Capacity: Exponentially heightened via Śeṣa’s cell reconstruction.
-> Stellar Metabolism: Successfully stabilized.
-> Environmental Adaptability: Increased by 500%.
Yet, despite these massive leaps forward, critical structural issues remained:
-> DNA Stability: Still lacking complete long-term equilibrium.
-> Aeon Gene: The true divine sequence from Tayzzyronth’s ascension remained absent.
-> Mass Decay: Symptoms of Entropy Loss Syndrome persisted under extended strain.
-> Energy Consumption: Abnormally high; requiring constant external feeding.
-> Cellular Rejection: The carbon and silicon matrices still experienced micro-rejection events over extended periods.
I leaned against the console, tapping my chin thoughtfully.
‘I need to optimize the structural binding while dampening the energy feedback loop.’
After a moment of consideration, I coded a series of microscopic biological nanobots designed to act as physical anchors between the carbon and silicon matrices.
I ran another test.
The structural rejection ceased, holding perfectly stable…
for a short period before the nanobots degraded under the heat and triggered selfdestruction.
I gently massaged my temples, letting out a soft, quiet sigh.
Rebalancing this equation would take considerable time.
‘If I hit a complete dead end…
I can always ask Kiana for assistance.’
The thought of her crossed my mind, and before I could catch myself, a faint, rare smile touched my lips.
Author’s Note:
Zhī Shēng means “Life-Weaver” a supercomputer name fitting for Ruan Mei.
