Fire Moth, Open the Door! (Continued)

"Goodbye, Dr. Mobius. Next time I'll bring you a pink dress as a return gift for your medical check-up."

"Get lost!"

After examining the microscope for a long time without finding a single hair, Mobius, furious, grabbed the empty instant noodle container from the table and threw it at the two of them, but they nimbly dodged it.

Then, while humming a song to little Griseo in her arms, Bai Ge and Elysia prepared to continue exploring the base.

At the same time, he thought that Elysia showing her blood to Mobius today was, in a way, a good thing.

At least the Snakey has become interested in him.

In the future, I will not be able to contact you.

As one of the strongest scientists, and even the strongest biologist, in the Previous Era, Mobius's importance in the fight against the Honkai was irreplaceable.

Bai Ge: (I look forward to a closer relationship between us in the future, Dr. Mobius. When we join forces, the strongest biologist and the Herrscher of Life and Death will definitely create some surprises. Maybe we can even make a breakthrough in that frustratingly low-success-rate Fusion Warrior surgery.)

Suddenly, at that moment.

A sudden inspiration struck Bai Ge.

He thought of a certain violation that Mobius had committed, as recorded in the Elysian Realm storyline.

"It seems our opportunity to get closer is just around the corner, Mobius."

A look of anticipation flashed in the boy's eyes.

In fact, after Bai Ge came to this world, the more he came into contact with the Valkyrie, the more he understood that what was recorded in the game was only the tip of the iceberg, less than one-thousandth of the whole.

At least for Bai Ge right now.

These people are no longer characters in a game, but living, breathing people just like us.

Therefore, it is wrong to think that you know everything about them just because you have seen their character designs and gone through their storylines.

That's nothing but arrogant self-righteousness.

Bai Ge knew that only by talking to them personally, witnessing them firsthand, and taking action himself could he truly understand them.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Damn it, not a single cell was left. He just wiped it with his hand."

Mobius frowned as he looked at the glass container in his hand.

"Very good, very good. I'm getting more and more curious about you, little lab rat. You can't escape my grasp. But... we'll talk about you later. Right now, there's an even more important subject waiting for me to study."

Mobius glanced at his research application for the Second Herrscher's remains; two days had passed and there was still no progress.

The executives at Moth Chasing Fire had been dissatisfied with her for quite some time, and Mobius knew that they probably wouldn't hand over the Second Herrscher to her for research.

But...

"So what if you don't give it to me? I will get what I want. Whether it's Bai Ge or the Herrscher's remains, I want them all!" Snakey clenched his fist and said with great momentum.

She, Mobius, does not need to ask anyone for permission to act!

That very night, a furtive green figure sneaked into the storage room for the Herrscher's remains, then hoisted the Herrscher of the Void and headed straight for his own laboratory.

The light was all inside the laboratory.

Mobius gazed excitedly at the Herrscher of the Void's remains on the testing table, holding a scalpel in each hand, her eyes brimming with boundless fervor and a thirst for knowledge.

Even if the Herrscher of the Void were to be resurrected right now, seeing her expression might scare her to death and send her back to her own death.

"Hoo hoo~ hoo hoo hoo~ So this is how the Herrscher's body is structured. The internal organs are the same as those of humans, but apart from the heart, the rest are not essential. How amazing!"

The scalpel slid up and down in her hand, like a conductor holding a baton.

No matter how powerful the corpse was in life, it could only become experimental material for humans after death. The more Mobius deconstructed the Herrscher before her, the brighter her eyes became.

Her exclamation came from the bottom of her heart.

What a beautiful creature it is!

Mobius was not referring to the Herrscher's appearance, but rather to her superhuman physique and the immense power she displayed.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and muttered to herself.

"By the way, humans, why must we be so bound by a single form? How wonderful it would be if humans could become beings like Herrscher..."

Mobius's breathing became rapid and heavy again.

At the same time, her movements became faster and more precise. In just two hours, she disassembled and reassembled the Herrscher of the Void's remains.

A satisfied Mobius wiped the sweat from his brow with the sleeve of his white coat, his gaze falling on a golden gem beside the Herrscher's remains—the core of the Herrscher of the Void.

"I see. The Herrscher's body evolved to accommodate the Herrscher Core. However... according to a rough calculation, even the evolved Herrscher's body can only accommodate three cores at most before it begins to show signs of collapse."

As Mobius spoke, his gaze toward the remains of the Herrscher of the Void held a hint of contempt and disappointment.

"Even though they have surpassed humanity, there are still limits, right? It seems that even the Herrscher are not perfect."

She sat on the edge of the testing table, holding the core of the Herrscher of the Void in her hand and examining it closely. She noticed that the brilliance of the Gem of Serenity had dimmed after losing its carrier.

"If someone's body could hold four, five, or even more Herrscher Core, what would they evolve into? It's intriguing. But... I should be thinking about how to become Herrscher now."

Mobius decided to give it a try first.

She pressed the Gem of Serenity against her high chest, closest to her heart.

"Tsk! Is that not allowed..."

Several minutes later, her body temperature had almost warmed the Gem of Serenity, but there was still no movement.

Mobius looked disappointed again.

However, just as she was about to continue her investigation, the laboratory door was suddenly opened.

"Dr. Mobius, haven't you had enough fun?"

"Huh? Bai Ge, what are you doing here?"

Mobius frowned, looking at the boy who had left a deep impression on her during the day. She subconsciously stood in front of the experimental table, but such a cover-up was of course useless.

After closing the door, Bai Ge yawned and walked up to her, immediately spotting the Herrscher's remains on the experimental table.

"Wow, Doctor, you're so efficient! You even dug out the core and then put it all back together! That's great, it saves me a lot of trouble..."

"What you up to!"

Seeing that Bai Ge was about to leave with the Herrscher on his back, Mobius panicked immediately. She hadn't finished her research yet!

"What do I want to do? Is that even a question, Dr. Mobius? Of course, I want to save you."

"Save me? Are you kidding me!"

Mobius raised his scalpel and pointed it at Bai Ge.

He was just a researcher who had never been on the battlefield, but the aura he was exuding at this moment was terrifying.

"Little mouse, put the Herrscher down now. Only in my hands can her secrets be unlocked. Only I can find a way for humans to become Herrscher and even surpass Herrscher!"

"Become Herrscher? Surpass Herrscher? Ha~ Dr. Mobius, I think you should ask yourself what you really want to do before asking me."

Bai Ge regarded the scalpel in front of him as if it were nothing.

His Golden Eyes stared directly into Mobius's eyes.

It was as if it were questioning her very soul.

At that moment, Mobius felt as if her heart was being gripped by a giant hand, but she gritted her teeth, opened her eyes wide, and stared directly into those captivating Golden Eyes.

"What I want to do is very simple: with my own hands, I will elevate humanity to godhood! I will make humanity evolve into gods!"

"I really didn't realize that becoming a Herrscher doesn't necessarily mean becoming a god. Even gods can be killed. Besides... what's wrong with being human?"

Bai Ge was holding the upper body of the Herrscher of the Void, while Mobius was holding the lower body.

The two began a tug-of-war, using the Herrscher's body as a rope.

What's wrong with humans?

Bai Ge's words seemed to have triggered something, and Mobius's past resurfaced in his mind.

In the past, her mother died in childbirth while giving birth to her. Mobius was a special person who could speak and possessed reason from birth, a person born with knowledge.

Her father is a doctor.

Even after losing his wife, he did not give up. Instead, he continued to treat his patients with utmost care and faced life with strength—until that terrible illness struck him.

Honkai Disease, an incurable Honkai Disease!

After contracting Honkai Disease, Mobius's father underwent a drastic personality change. She witnessed firsthand how the man transformed from a gentle, strong, and excellent doctor into a volatile, irritable, and self-destructive individual.

No matter what medication you take, you cannot heal yourself.

Instead, the side effects of the medication destroyed his spirit.

At the same time, Honkai Energy gradually destroyed his body.

The once gentle and strong man began to beat and kick his daughter, inflicting violence on her.

But Mobius felt no resentment or sadness; she only found the person in front of her utterly ridiculous, comical, and ugly.
