The Chimera Project and the Herrscher of Constraints (Continued)
(Thousand Laws Klein: "Sorry, there's really no way to save you. Don't forget we're currently at the Moth Chasing Fire's base. There are hordes of Fusion Warrior and Mecha Legion right outside. If I try to save you, we'll both die in the end.")
(The Herrscher of the Thousand: "Then, what do we do? No, I don't want to die—!")
(Qianlu Klein: "I don't want to die either. Let go, don't worry, I'll be quick and efficient so you don't suffer too much, and then I'll live on for you too!")
(The Herrscher of the Thousand: "...")
But just as Qianlu Klein was about to administer more anesthesia to make his companion's death less painful.
Snakey snatched the anesthetic needle from her hand.
"Why give Herrscher anesthesia? Isn't that a waste of resources? Our lab doesn't have much funding, so we have to use things sparingly. Don't worry, I've tied her up very securely. No matter how loudly she screams, she won't be able to move an inch."
"..."
Qianlu Klein was trembling all over.
The Herrscher of the Thousand on the test bench were already crying, thinking that this woman was a cold-blooded and ruthless demon, a viper!
"Doctor, isn't this too inhumane?"
"Huh? Klein, have you forgotten where you are? Talking to me about humanity?"
"...".
When those piercing snake eyes stared at him, Qianlu Klein knew better than to worry about his companions; his own situation was far from safe!
As the sole survivor of the Herrscher of the Thousand, I must survive no matter what!
Because I am no longer living for myself alone, but carrying the will of 999 people!
As long as I remain unexposed and alive, the Herrscher of the Thousand haven't been completely eradicated! Therefore...
Qianlu Klein: "It's just an autopsy, it's fine. Doctor, you can rest, I'll do it."
Mobius: "Hmm~ Remember to dissect it thoroughly, I'll be checking it later."
In the end, with a trembling heart and trembling hands, Qianlu Klein could only dismantle her companion piece by piece, which would undoubtedly become a psychological trauma for the rest of her life.
On that day, in the blood-soaked autopsy room, the Herrscher of the Thousand, Klein, made a promise to all the Herrscher of the Thousand who had perished: no matter the cost, the Honkai would surely defeat humanity!
(Thousand Laws Klein: "So I must endure! I must endure! I'll survive until the next Herrscher arrives, then I'll cling to the coattails of a junior. I must live, even if it means surviving until the Finality! There will always be a day when I rise to the top!")
However, after she finished her dissection.
But then she discovered that Mobius had brought Aponia over and imposed a bunch of rules on her. It was at that moment that Qianlu Klein realized that she was just a clown.
Now, even if she wanted to do something, it would be impossible for her.
Aponia imposed numerous rules on her, including forbidding her from committing suicide, running away, resting, completing the tasks assigned by Mobius, and remaining a slave to the Snakey forever.
Mobius: "In short, that's how it is. How dare you take over my Klein's body, Herrscher of the Thousand, you really have a lot of nerve."
As Snakey spoke, he lifted Thousand Laws Klein's chin.
She dropped the pretense; her dangerous yet beautiful snake eyes were filled with coldness and resentment.
"In return, you will be my slave forever, at my beck and call. Don't worry, from now on, you will not have a single second of rest."
"Ah, the pills..."
Qianlu Klein immediately knelt down, feeling that her future was bleak and that her life as a law student was over.
Thus, the Mobius Laboratory gained another slave.
No days off all year round, no salary, working 25 hours a day out of 24.
Meanwhile, in May's laboratory.
"Even if the world ends, AI will still be awake. How about that? Shouldn't you give me some overtime pay?"
Having finally finished dealing with the resettlement of hundreds of millions of people after the Ninth Honkai, Prometheus stared expressionlessly at Dr. Mei, who was limping out of the lounge, and Bai Ge, who looked refreshed and relaxed.
The AI girl couldn't help but think, "Has my Dr. Mei finally succeeded in taking over? What a pity."
"Okay, okay~ Prometheus, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you. Oh, you're so hot, do you have a cold?"
"Bai Ge, artificial intelligence doesn't catch colds. I just overheated the chip after working at high intensity for five consecutive days. It will be fine after a while as long as it cools down."
"Oh, really? By the way, Prometheus, where is your radiator located?"
"Secret."
Even if it's an AI girl, she's still a girl, Prometheus said, refusing to answer privacy questions.
Bai Ge smiled and patted her head, activating the power of the Herrscher of Ice to cool down her overheated chip.
"Ah, that feels so good..."
Prometheus narrowed his eyes and said in his usual respectful tone, "Actually, she's also a miserable AI."
One of the few things that May and Mobius had in common was that they were both unscrupulous bosses who liked to exploit their subordinates.
Thankfully, she's a super AI; otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, or even an AI with average performance, Mei would have already squeezed her into the ICU or crashed.
"Hmm? Doctor, your body..."
Suddenly, Prometheus showed a surprised expression.
Because her detectors discovered that Mei had fundamentally changed at this moment. Although she was still in the realm of ordinary people, her body had "evolved".
In the past, Mei only possessed some Honkai Energy resistance.
However, it has no Honkai Energy adaptability.
This is why she was able to avoid a certain degree of Honkai Energy erosion and survive the Great Honkai.
However, they cannot use Honkai Energy, nor can they undergo Hypermutation Surgery to become Fusion Warrior.
However, when Bai Ge had relations with Mei just now, he used the power of the Herrscher of Life and Death to modify her body, giving Mei a constitution that Honkai Energy.
"Giving others the Honkai Energy, you really are doing something 'against the heavens' as always."
Prometheus sighed, touching his forehead.
Bai Ge crossed his arms with a hint of pride.
The power of the Herrscher of Life and Death is like a cheat code in the biological realm. Adding some Honkai Energy adaptability to Mei is much easier than creating a new body for the Herrscher of Thunder of Mei in the past.
In this way, Mei can also undergo the Hypermutation Surgery, become Fusion Warrior, and gain self-defense capabilities and a long lifespan.
"I'll find you a suitable Honkai Beast later. Hmm, it has to be at least Judgment-class to be qualified."
"Thank you, Bai Ge."
"Hey, why are you thanking me?"
With this, Mei's strength will be greatly enhanced, making her a Fusion Warrior. With the Void Archives, she will become the first person after Bai Ge to "cultivate both physical and magical abilities".
However, after the experiment, Mei discovered that she was unable to embed two Herrscher Core into the Void Archives no matter what she did. It seemed that even after becoming Fusion Warrior, accommodating three cores at once would be her maximum limit.
Moreover, she couldn't possibly maintain the state of having a core embedded in the Void Archives like Bai Ge did. Mei was certain that even after becoming Fusion Warrior, she couldn't do that.
Only those who have worn the Void Archives know just how powerful its "recoil" is.
"It's okay, it's enough anyway."
Bai Ge patted Mei's head reassuringly.
After all, not everyone is like Bai, who was personally modified by the Honkai God into an "Finality Body" whose body can accommodate the Herrscher Core without limit.
The significance of the Void Archives worn by Bai Ge is simply to allow the core of the Previous Civilization to be used by people to wield the power of the Herrscher, just like in the Current Civilization.
Bai Ge himself does not need to rely on it to connect to the Imaginary Space, and he can completely ignore both the erosion of Honkai Energy and the burden caused by embedding the core.
"By the way, are the preparations for the Chimera Surgery complete? When can we begin?"
Bai Ge looked at Mei expectantly and asked.
He needs to become Chimera and achieve the Tengen before the next Herrscher of Herrscher of Binding arrives. Only in this way can Bai have absolute confidence in defeating the binding.
(However, this time, I can't get a perfect clear because of the constraints.)
Bai Ge thought regretfully to himself.
There's nothing we can do about it. The location of the Herrscher of Binding is uncertain, and the Great Honkai is just a minor issue. The key is that this guy will unleash an invincible God's Grace Barrier as soon as he appears.
Simply put, we can win.
But it can't be killed instantly...
The first wave of casualties caused by the God's Grace Barrier was almost inevitable, so Bai Ge unusually lowered his expectations for himself.
According to the original storyline, the Herrscher of Binding would require the lives of thousands of Fusion Warriors to fill the void, although the current number of Fusion Warrior of the Moth Chasing Fire is already in the tens of thousands, so they can afford to consume them.
But Bai Ge will not let a single one of them sacrifice this time.
As soon as the Herrscher of Binding appears, he will single-handedly defeat him from the front!
Then wait until the next playthrough to challenge a perfect completion, the ultimate goal of not dying.
"Oh right, and the Stigmata I mentioned before, we need to prepare those too. At least I need to get my [Imprint] ready. If we can get it done quickly, let's take care of Aili and the others. The enemies from now on will get stronger and stronger, so the more power we have, the better."
"... Bai Ge, are you really planning to carry out the Chimera Project? Won't you reconsider?"
Mei frowned, trying to persuade him to give up.
