A New Threat

"This world is on the verge of destruction." Fran declared with a solemn expression. Unlike her former wry or usual strict look, she was miserable this time for some reason.
The elf sighed and continued, "I'm an Elf Kaiju created to be able to sense the nature sensitivity around me. As this world is fundamentally different from our previous world, my ability evolved, or should I say, "Adapting." to the environment."
"I've talked to Gernis about this because he also experienced the same thing as me. And His metallurgy ability adapted to make every metal perceive in this world able for him."
Gernis placed the pint on the table and picked a random mineral from his spatial belt. As the brown-like rock appeared before their eyes, it became liquid in the blink of an eye. Hayate immediately frowned because there was no change in temperature in this room.
"I called this extra ability Mineral Language." The dwarf explained calmly, very different from his drunken state a moment ago. "It makes me able to manipulate mineral's properties with my profound energy and change them to my wish, but the downside is once the "Object." was changed, I can't turn it back."
The liquid turned into a simple frying pan as Gernis placed it on the table and shone with a copper-like glow.
Hayate grasped the frying pan's handle and was amazed by the weight when lifting it. "This weighs more than two tons." He commented, swaying the newly created tool around casually.
"That motherfucker is one of the densest minerals I could find in this continent, stronger than tungsten of our world but also possessed extreme heat resistance," Gernis said while crossing his arms. "I called it Mothercopper."
"Uugh, What a bad name," Luna remarked while poking the frying pan with her finger. "I pity you, Frying Pan-Kun~."
"Don't give my creation a random nickname!" A tick mark appeared on Gernis's forehead.
Fran sighed and said, "Ignore these two. As I've stated before, our existence changed this universe's nature faster than it should have been. Any Kaiju like Luna, who awakened powers beyond logic, defied this universe and caused more destruction than good."
"My starting point is not the Blue Polar Star. I awakened in a low star realm called Nebula Green, wandering there for three years until I reached the half-step Divine Soul Realm and found my way here."
"However..." Fran clenched her fist in frustration.
"You suddenly were ambushed by another Kaiju," Luna added while picking a baguette from her pocket dimension.
Fran's eyes widened because she hadn't told anyone about her story, but she quickly remembered Gernis's explanation about Luna's current abilities. "Future Sight, what a cheat-like ability." She stared at Luna warily.
"What? Don't worry. I would never say anything that could change the future drastically." Luna pouted, causing the elf to sigh in relief.
"I hope so," Fran muttered while rubbing her forehead. She was thinking about Nebula Green, where she met Xiao Bing'er parents.
"How dare you, Fran! This cute Luna would never lie~!" Luna denied it quickly. "I'm a little playful but not dumb!"
Gernis sneered, "Little playful, you make 100 soldiers get horrible stomach aches in just one night."
BAM! Crack!
They began to banter until Hayate slammed his hand on the table. Everyone was quiet as menacing golden eyes stared at them indifferently. It is the same feeling every Kaiju feels once in a while.
"Domination..." Fran looked at Hayate's cold golden eyes that sent shivers to her spine.
Hayate rubbed his hand naturally and asked, "Who attacked you, Fran?"
The elf slowly pulled her silk robe up and exposed her bare stomach to them. A black mark like burn injuries flared on Fran's skin, releasing an awful smell and ominous energy.
"Pandora." Hayate touched the black mark. His Sky Poison Pearl began its action and released a luminous green glow on Fran's skin, purifying the wound quickly. "Her Pathogenesis has reached such a height. It is bothersome."
Fran's eyes widened because she could feel the pain in her abdomen become less and less painful with each second. The luminous green light from Hayate's palm gave her a soothing sensation similar to the fresh breeze of the forest.
"Describe what happened back then," Hayate instructed naturally. "I want to know the whole story."
Fran nodded weakly and said, "When I was using temporal teleportation from Nebula Green, a purple star attacked me out of nowhere, knocking Xiao Bing'er and Me to Blue Polar Star."
"Since it happened too fast, I have to use my body to shield Xiao Bing'er. From a flash second, I could see Pandora in her new form, an adult woman in a wedding shawl with goat ears. Her black hair is reaching to her thigh."
"As for Pandora's strength, she was above the Divine Soul Realm, and I'm sure of that. T-That's why I wanted to test your strength."
She watched the black mark disappear from her stomach and continued, "When I woke up, we arrived at a small village on the corner of the Blue Wind Empire. Xiao Bing'er lost her memory too..."
"Luna, where is Pandora right now?" Hayate questioned while looking at the little prankster.
Luna opened her eyes and gave off a mysterious glow for a few seconds. She frowned a little because her future sight stopped at a weird time. "Pandora was sealed into someone's body." She said weirdly.
"I couldn't see the woman's appearance very well, but her BOOBA is enormous. Even Big sister Hong Guan and Chu Yuechan lost to her. SHEESh~."
Fran and Gernis's mouths twitched in annoyance because of Luna's description. They knew she was playful, but even in this situation, her mouth was still running wildly.
Meanwhile, Hayate kept a serious expression and asked, "Her strength?"
"Half-Step Divine Sovereign Realm." Luna's smile disappeared instantly.
...
"Luna, Keep monitoring that woman. I'll think of a plan," Hayate suddenly commanded while pulling Fran with him. "Fran, bring me to Xiao Bing'er. I can heal her with Sky Poison Pearl."
"Okey, Dokey~!" Luna saluted at Hayate.
On the way to another area, Fran stared at Hayate's cold face and commented, "It's okay to be afraid, Master. You have the most pressure on your shoulders out of everyone here."
"Don't blame yourself."
Fran knows Hayate always holds his feelings and acts cold in front of his Kaiju. After all, she was his secretary before the explosion happened. Hayate's selfishness is one of his most renowned egos.
"I'm not afraid, Fran," Hayate replied with a chuckle. "I passed that state a long time ago. After living in this world for more than four years, I realized that my power has a purpose now."
Fran tilted her head and asked, "And that purpose is?"
"To protect my family." He answered naturally.
When hearing those unpretentious words from her Master, Fran stared at Hayate in a new light. He wasn't the person she knew anymore. The young man has changed tremendously in the past 4.5 years, becoming more mature.
Fran smiled inside when hearing that Hayate doesn't think [Kaiju Creation] is a useless ability anymore because he has a family to protect. Unlike their previous world, Primal Chaos is full of danger, and wild Kaiju enhanced that to a greater level.
"I'm glad..." She said softly.
As Hayate and Fran arrive at the room where Xiao Bing'er intensively was treated, he looks at the young lady with an attentive gaze. His golden eyes scanned through her weakened body and discovered several problems.
"Hmm, She's not a human?" He glanced at Fran, who nodded her head.
Fran stared at her disciple sadly and said, "Xiao Bing'er is a person of Wood Spirit Clan. She was compatible with my Kaiju Core but showed a rejection recently."
"No Shit Sherlock!" Hayate replied indifferently to the elf. "What do you think would happen when your damaged Kaiju Core by Pandora's Pathogenesis continuously is used by her?"
"No wonder Xiao Bing'er was sick."
Hayate tapped the young lady's forehead and used Sky Poison Pearl's purification on her. A familiar luminous green light entered Fran's sight, causing her to shut her mouth in grief.
Fran wanted to say something but decided to be quiet until Xiao Bing'er was healthy again. It is her fault, and she admits it, but the girl's parents want Xiao Bing'er to become stronger.
They wanted Xiao Bing'er to survive and live happily in this cruel world. 'Only through Kaiju Core.' Fran thought to herself. Only through Kaiju Core Xiao Bing'er could attain that strength in such a short time.
"T-Teacher..." Xiao Bing'er opened her eyes and looked at Fran with tears.
"Bing'er." Fran's expression softened, hugging her student tightly.
Hayate stood on the side and watched their interaction with a sigh. 'At least they are close' He crossed his arm while thinking about something.
"Teacher, huh."
"I wonder what Coach Mei is doing right now."
