What Mobius wanted was not to transfer into some Soul Steel Body, but true resurrection—a body of her own flesh and blood.
"Of course there was. In the Current Civilization, humanity had a Herrscher of Reason, Walter Yang.
He changed bodies all the time, turning the Herrscher of Reason's authority into a resurrection armor and repeatedly hopping back and forth before the King of Hell!" Zhang Wei gave an example.
"The Herrscher of Reason? I see. That Herrscher had an extremely high ceiling, yet the destruction it caused in the Previous Civilization was actually less than that of the Herrschers who appeared later.
Understanding and reproduction... it could reproduce things starting from cells. It seemed the Herrscher of Reason outside was quite powerful." Mobius spoke blandly.
Zhang Wei's expression turned slightly strange at that. "Actually, this Walter Yang was not the first Herrscher of Reason. You could even say he had the worst compatibility among the Herrschers of Reason.
The first Herrscher of Reason only needed to touch an object to analyze and construct it, then reproduce it."
The Flame-Chasers were all very interested, while Elysia listened with great relish. Her pointed elf ears swayed gently, clearly showing her good mood. After all, they were talking about the Herrschers of this world, while Zhang Wei and the others were obviously outsiders.
"The Herrscher of Reason's authority was still quite suited for being a workhorse—no, cough cough, for working!"
"..."
All the Flame-Chasers stared wide-eyed. He had meant workhorse just now, hadn't he? They definitely had not misheard.
What kind of evil capitalist was this? The Herrscher of Reason's authority was so lofty and grand. It could be down-to-earth, but it should not be sent down to the underworld. He had better watch out for being hung from a streetlamp.
"So, were you planning to use the Herrscher of Reason's authority to construct bodies for us?" Mobius asked with great interest.
She did not mind if Zhang Wei saw every part of her body clearly while constructing it. They were just organs; if he wanted to look, he could look. If it could earn her a chance to leave the Elysian Realm, she did not think she was losing anything.
As for whether Zhang Wei, who came from another world, possessed the Herrscher of Reason's authority, there was no need to ask. After all, he possessed Finality's power. The Herrscher of Reason's authority no longer seemed all that important, because Finality represented power.
"The Herrscher of Reason's authority alone won't be enough. We'll also need the Herrscher of Death's authority and the Herrscher of Knowledge's authority. Otherwise, your Memory Bodies won't be able to perfectly merge with the new bodies!" Zhang Wei raised three fingers and said with a smile.
"The Herrscher of Reason constructs the body, the Herrscher of Death activates the cells, tissues, and organs within it, and the Herrscher of Knowledge merges consciousness with the body. It was indeed a very reasonable plan. I have to say, your plan had a very high chance of success!" As a top biologist, Mobius analyzed it briefly, and her eyes lit up.
"A single Herrscher of Reason could construct a usable body, but flaws would inevitably remain. So unless someone possessed multiple authorities, this method was nothing more than a hypothetical.
The only people who could do this were Captain and Kiana. The Herrscher of Finality could naturally command those authorities."
Zhang Wei nodded. This was also the simplest method, and its success rate was very high. Moving all the female Flame-Chasers from the Elysian Realm onto the Hyperion would easily gather ten Valkyries. They could unlock many functions then, killing two birds with one stone.
"Well? Who wanted to go first? This was my first time doing something like this, so I might be a little rusty!" Zhang Wei shrugged. This was a massive undertaking. The human body contained so many cells, and what he wanted to construct was not an ordinary person's body, but the Flame-Chasers' bodies at their peak.
"The Elysian Realm should have blood samples left behind by the Flame-Chasers from back then, right?"
Mobius nodded impatiently. "Yes. My original body also left behind some tissue samples, frozen and preserved with a Divine Key. If you wanted to use them, I could fetch them for you right now, big brother."
It seemed Zhang Wei intended to construct their bodies from the Previous Civilization at a one-to-one scale. That was even better. Even if Zhang Wei wanted the corresponding Honkai Beast genes, she could provide them. She had thought they would never be useful, but now their time had come.
Gulp!
Before Zhang Wei could say anything, Mobius vanished from before everyone's eyes through a mire crackling with green electricity.
An hour later.
"Alright, these are our blood samples. They should be enough, right? And here are the corresponding Honkai Beast genes!" Mobius took out a case containing over twenty test tubes giving off chilly vapor. They had previously been stored in containers created by the imitation Key of Stasis, so thawing them had taken a little time.
"Kevin and Su's samples were updated several thousand years ago. Ours were preserved before the Previous Civilization was destroyed."
Kevin and the others raised their brows. Why had Mobius preserved such things? Was she planning something again? They could not be blamed for thinking that way; Mobius's reputation back then had been that of a mad scientist.
"That'll do. Who's first?" Zhang Wei nodded and looked at the Flame-Chasers. The order did not matter much.
They even had Honkai Beast genes, which made things even better. He was ninety-nine percent certain he could recreate the Flame-Chasers in their peak condition. Though they were only Memory Bodies, Zhang Wei saw them as living beings with thoughts of their own.
"I'll go first."
Elysia stepped forward. The others' expressions changed slightly, but they said nothing. They trusted Elysia. That had never changed.
"Captain, make me cute, alright? Otherwise, Elysia will get angry."
Elysia blinked, her smile utterly flawless. In Zhang Wei's eyes, she seemed to be glowing. Who would not like a lively, adorable girl, especially one as lively and adorable as Elysia?
As expected of the Herrscher of the Human, the Flawless Person, Elysia. She had changed the Herrschers of later generations with her own life. Everyone else was pink on the outside and black within, but Elysia alone was pink inside and out. It was difficult to find any flaw in her.
Elysia could be called the embodiment of all beauty in the world. If she went to the world of Honkai: Star Rail, perhaps she could replace the Path of Beauty and forge a Path of her own.
Though she had witnessed much of humanity's ugliness during her travels and within Fire Moth, Elysia had always believed in humanity's goodness and kind nature. She had always longed to become human, even if humans were not quite so perfect.
Though she was a Herrscher, any human would pale in comparison before her.
"Don't worry. Since you trust me so much, Elysia, I'll definitely recreate you one-to-one—weight included." Zhang Wei patted his chest and promised.
