[Midnight's Black Light].
In the original work, this was the exclusive weapon used by Durandal in her "Dea Anchora" form.
It belongs to the category of Armored Lances—this type of weapon can trace its origins back to the last century's D&D-inspired manga, "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai." It's an integrated offensive and defensive piece of equipnt capable of disassembling and reconfiguring the armor attached to the lance's body to arm the wielder.
The [Midnight's Black Light] in Lu Xing's hand was the culmination of Armored Lance design—it possessed two major forms it could switch between.
Guardian Form:
The lance's armor reconfigures into a massive, winged heavy shield, while the lance body itself serves as the user's weapon. Beyond basic thrusts, the double-edged lance can also be wielded like a greatsword, similar to Radiant Star. An internal Convergence-Conversion System allows injected Honkai energy to be fired as imnsely powerful "cannonballs," making this weapon viable even for ranged attacks.
But that wasn't all.
The heavy shield, serving as the armor component, could be further combined with the lance when not needed, transforming into a powerful, heavy-hitting long-handled battle axe.
In short, a Gunlance Switch Axe.
Knight Form:
The armor no longer transforms into a heavy shield but instead combines to form a horse-like mount, Krishna. It is clad in ethereal blue battle armor dotted with starlight and sports a horn like a lightning blade.
And the [Black Light] in Lu Xing's hands…
Clack!
Lance in hand, mount before him.
A Temple-class Honkai Beast should theoretically be quite large. Lu Xing's current height of around three ters actually classified him as a smaller type among Temple-class beasts.
And Krishna before him… no, the warhorse ford from Cheche's core, was virtually identical in size to Lu Xing.
"Neigh!"
His arm, covered by its gauntlet, reached out to stroke the warhorse's neck.
Lu Xing's body, during the transformation of the weapon, had reverted to its Knight-class appearance—in his Temple-class form, Lu Xing wouldn't be able to mount the warhorse at all.
"Cheche."
The warhorse's neigh was rely an imitation.
Cheche's soul resided within this majestic warhorse, but its consciousness was far from awakening. All the advancent missions for the Knight Lance had been completed. If Lu Xing wanted Cheche to regain its self-awareness, he would need to find other thods.
For example… PRI-ARM!
[Midnight's Black Light] was not its complete form; it had an even more powerful PRI-ARM state: [Midnight's Atajina]. If he could obtain this power, he might find a way to awaken Cheche.
As for other thods…
No matter which one Lu Xing could think of, it seed he would need to "borrow" human strength—
"Hmph!"
Clad in armor, weapon in hand.
Lu Xing didn't mount Cheche's back. Instead, he reverted to his Temple-class form. After acquiring this new power, the bit of Honkai energy consud for form transformation had beco negligible to him.
Cheche also transford back into the [Black Light], embedding itself into the ground.
This matter required careful consideration.
What Lu Xing needed to do now was to beco strong enough to leave this space.
Although this might take a considerable amount of ti, it was definitely a viable path—the three newly completed achievents had provided Lu Xing with even greater room for growth.
The current him…
Could continuously strengthen his attributes and skills through battle.
He might have missed the chance to witness the battle between the Herrscher of Fla and Kevin, but the subsequent confrontations between "Herrschers" and Fusion Soldiers…
Lu Xing's gaze swept across the space once more.
The Great Rift no longer existed, but the Honkai energy crystals filling the entire space… should be enough!

"Kevin!"
Dr. i's hands tightly gripped Kevin's.
The danger of this experint far exceeded any before; describing it as a nine-deaths-one-life situation was absolutely no exaggeration. All i could do was try to transfer the warmth of her palms to the man who only showed her his back.
Kevin was still very young.
But what he had experienced was already a hundred tis more spectacular… and a hundred tis more brutal than that of an ordinary person.
"I know."
The warmth and lingering fragrance…
Vanished from her palms as Kevin withdrew his hand.
Within the enormous spherical chamber before them lay the frozen corpse of "Parvati"—this Emperor-class Honkai Beast, preserved due to its inherent attributes and special thods, had been jointly defeated by Kevin and the captain of another squad… As Kevin's comrade-in-arms, the latter had lost their life in that battle.
Kevin did not stop his advance.
The Seventh Herrscher · Herrscher of Fla, who had appeared in Australia, had nearly wiped out three squads of The Fla-Chasers, not to ntion the joint forces dispatched by three superpower factions… Tens of thousands had been buried in a foreign land; no, perhaps even their bones had been burned to ashes.
The Herrscher of Fla's strength far exceeded all previous data.
Even the Third Herrscher · Herrscher of Thunder, who had once appeared in Southeast Asia (implicating Shenzhou and Dongying), had rely turned three cities into scorched earth. As the Herrscher known for the largest destructive range, comparing the Herrscher of Thunder to the Herrscher of Fla currently rampaging in Australia…
There was simply no comparison between the two.
With The Fla-Chasers' current strength, even if they threw in all their captains, there was absolutely no chance of victory.
For this reason…
They needed new power:
The "Fusion Soldier" project, proposed by Dr. i after countless live experints and continuously improved by Mobius, had finally broken through its last technical bottleneck.
What was needed now…
Was a "Person of Courage."
And Kevin—as the Captain of the First Squad and the strongest within The Fla-Chasers—was undeniably the one.
"Kevin."
Leaning against the sowhat cold wall by the laboratory entrance, Mobius—wearing round-rimd glasses, a white lab coat, and still possessing the mature figure that would soon disappear—spoke to Kevin in a tone that was slightly teasing? Mocking? Reflective? …In any case, it was sowhat complex.
"Don't look so glum."
Mobius's gaze flickered towards Dr. i not far away.
"Think of Adam and Eve. You are becoming… a pioneer for humanity."
Kevin's steps paused for an instant.
"Who is the serpent?"
"That, you'll have to slowly think about it yourself~"
Hiss—
Clack.
The door opened and closed.
The conversation between the two ended there.
From this mont on, the relationship between humanity and the Honkai…
Was about to enter a new chapter.
