Simulation of Destruction, Why Is It Always Me Becoming the Arbiter

This was the best way to have Mobius verify it on the spot.

Having Blanca tag along was a good use of her presence; otherwise, Ye Chang'an would have had to find an outsider to cooperate.

After all, he couldn't just inject Destruction energy into Mobius or Eden.

As for himself... that was a joke. How much resistance would he need to build up to even manifest erosion patterns?

Therefore, Blanca was the most suitable candidate.

It was as if she was meant to be used this way.

Mobius still found it hard to believe as she watched the erosion patterns on Blanca's skin disappear.

She touched Blanca's healthy skin, patting and pinching it as if taking liberties, but she was merely conducting an examination.

Like examining a lab rat.

Blanca's skin prickled, and she quickly shifted her position to create some distance.

"Doctor, I'm fine now, really. Please stop touching me."

She was timid.

"..." Mobius reluctantly withdrew her hands. She then looked at Ye Chang'an, her expression complex as she asked, "How did you do it?"

"I just did it. You saw it just now, I played the Chang'an Melody."

"No, I'm asking how you made Blanca sick."

Mobius shook her head and corrected him, her green eyes fixed on Ye Chang'an.

More than the method of treatment, she was more interested in the means by which Blanca had been infected.

"...Dr. Mobius, do you know what this illness is?" Ye Chang'an asked instead of answering.

"An infectious disease with an unknown source and transmission method, a 100% fatality rate, temporarily named [Deathline] by the medical community."

Mobius answered, her understanding clearly different from what was in the game.

After all, from a medical perspective, Destruction Sickness was still an unknown entity. Even if it were to be named, it would be difficult to use a strange adjective like [Destruction].

The tentative name [Deathline] was more intuitive, describing the lines that signaled death.

Ye Chang'an took this as a minor difference in this [Parallel World] and didn't think much of it. He began to explain, "In my understanding, this disease is called [Destruction Sickness]. Humans contract it after absorbing excessive amounts of [Destruction energy].

So, the method I used to make Blanca sick was very simple: I had her absorb Destruction energy."

"Destruction..." Mobius mumbled, frowning. The word sounded strange to her.

However, Ye Chang'an's confident words still made her reluctantly accept the term. She couldn't help but reframe her own research findings conceptually.

Infectious disease = Destruction Sickness

Infectious source = Destruction energy

It was that simple. She understood quickly but then discovered a blind spot.

"You can control who absorbs Destruction energy?"

She was sitting right next to Blanca, but she hadn't developed any erosion patterns.

This was very strange.

"In fact, yes, I can." Ye Chang'an nodded, not denying it.

Attempting to deceive a genius was a foolish act. Ye Chang'an knew his own capabilities and had no intention of hiding anything from Mobius.

"...Controlled Destruction energy... How did you do that?" Mobius murmured, extremely curious.

After all, she had previously defined Destruction energy as the infectious source and had never considered the possibility of artificially controlling the source.

"Doctor, do you know where Destruction energy comes from?" Ye Chang'an asked instead of answering.

"No," Mobius shook her head.

"Do you know what Destruction energy can do?"

Mobius shook her head.

"Do you want to know?"

Ye Chang'an wanted to speak, to tell Mobius everything he knew about Destruction.

For him, a mortal, the theoretical layers of Destruction were truly too profound.

Even as a player, he couldn't clearly define the essence of Destruction.

After all, for players, the things in the game are always fictional, and the explanations they get only stay on the surface.

If you really want to analyze this thing, you have to leave it to the professionals in the game.

Like a genius like Mobius.

So Ye Chang'an wanted to say that Mobius also wanted to listen.

"Blanca, could you trouble yourself to buy me a bottle of cola? I want to drink it."

The moment she spoke, she wanted to send someone away. Mobius wanted a conversation environment without interruption.

"Eden, please take Miss Blanca to buy one. She might not know where the store is."

Ye Chang'an also sent Eden away, but he whispered a few words to her.

Finally, Eden and Blanca went out, and they wouldn't be back for a while.

Mobius picked up her cup and took a sip of tea, her meaning clear.

Ye Chang'an was not stupid, he also took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said:

"Destruction energy is a high-level civilization from outside the planet..."

He explained clearly, while she listened silently, drinking tea.

The two, one speaking and one listening, fell silent. Mobius then put down her long-empty teacup.

"...A wild fantasy. Perhaps Mr. Chang'an, you could consider a career change and become a novelist."

She didn't quite believe it because it was too broad.

It was like the fantasy of a chuunibyo, with all sorts of magnificent settings, but lacking a rigorous underlying structure.

It was just a baseless hypothesis to fool people.

Ye Chang'an didn't expect to be believed so easily. After changing Mobius's tea, he asked, "Doctor, can I create fire out of thin air?"

"Create fire out of thin air?"

A strange question, Mobius shook her head, "If the fire you're talking about isn't the fire of passion in a physiological sense, then I don't think you can."

"Heh heh~"

Ye Chang'an chuckled, extended his hand, and waved his five fingers in front of Mobius's eyes. Then, he used Destruction energy to cover his palm with a blazing flame.

"(⊙o⊙)..." Mobius was stunned.

Ye Chang'an's smile deepened. He took a tissue and placed it over the flame, which instantly ignited.

"This..." Mobius was even more surprised.

He dissipated the flame, flicked the remaining ash from the tissue, and then revealed his palm, which was as clean as new, with no signs of being burned.

Mobius directly grabbed his palm and brought it close to her eyes to examine it. She pinched and squeezed it to confirm that it was indeed a real palm.

She hadn't worn any high-tech gloves either.

"Doctor, can you believe me now?" Ye Chang'an asked with a smile, withdrawing his hand.

"...How did you do that?"

"I've already said it. This is the power of Destruction. Destruction is omnipotent. The flame that just burned was converted from Destruction energy that I controlled."

"..." Mobius was silent, still processing the shock in her heart.

Humans did not have the ability to create fire out of thin air, but with Destruction energy, they could.

In this way, Destruction energy could grant humans new powers, but it also carried the risk of them being corrupted into monsters.

If there was a way to avoid the risks and reap the benefits... wouldn't that mean humanity had evolved?

Evolution, a word that filled Mobius with longing.

"Mr. Chang'an, how do you control Destruction energy? No, before that, please tell me how you gained the ability to control this power."

"Chang'an Melody."

Ye Chang'an gave the answer, and knowing that Mobius had already believed him, he continued, "Dr. Mobius, I'd like to ask for your help in researching the specific effects of the Chang'an Melody."

He was also researching it himself, but his research had been useless so far.

He knew what it did, but not why it did it.

Perhaps only Mobius, who could understand the "why," could help.

This was because the essence of the Chang'an Melody and the Sword Heart Art was most likely proposed by Mobius.

Chapter of Creation: Heading to a New World: 22. Eden, Why Are You Wearing Mobius's Clothes?

In order for humanity to evolve, Mobius's main field of research was biology.

And biology focused on the physical body.

The Chang'an Melody and the Sword Heart Art are fundamentally Divine Sound, and Divine Sound is a form of hypnotic therapy that affects the human body itself.

Although the [Divine Sound Experiment] was primarily led by [Mei], the theory of Divine Sound was likely proposed by Mobius.

This is because [Mei] pursued external factors too much, which was incompatible with Divine Sound, a hypnotic therapy that explores the inner self.

As for why Mobius didn't take the lead... she was most likely held back by other experiments.

After all, the Divine Sound Experiment was too slow to take effect, nowhere near as efficient as the Fusion Experiment.

In the late stages of the Honkai War, experiments that could rapidly increase combat power were the focus of research leaders like Mobius, so it was normal for her not to have time to get involved in the [Divine Sound Experiment].

If the Divine Sound Experiment had been perfected before the outbreak of the First Great Honkai, the outcome would undoubtedly have been very different.

Therefore, Ye Chang'an needed Mobius's assistance and offered his full sincerity, even openly revealing the essence of Honkai.

And Mobius?

She was hesitating.

Researching the Chang'an Melody could very well allow her to touch upon the evolution she had long sought, but she was currently part of the Moth of the Fire.

Taking on side jobs wasn't exactly forbidden, as long as it didn't interfere with her main work.

However, she was certain that if she took this job, she would lose interest in her main work.

After all, this was something that could very well bring evolution to humanity.

So, if she took this job, it would mean she had to switch employers.

But switching employers would bring a whole host of troubles.

"Mr. Chang'an, researching the Chang'an Melody requires many samples for comparative experiments. Can you provide them?" Mobius asked.

"Yes."
