Blasphemous Fallen Angel

The Third Research Institute of the Fire Moth.

"Alert! Level 2 alert! The Honkai Energy concentration in area A4 is rapidly increasing, posing a danger of Honkai. Evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!"

The alarm echoed through the research institute, but soon went out. Many researchers, rushing to retrieve their experimental data, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Another failure..." The black-haired, red-eyed researcher recorded the data from this experiment with a blank expression.

Suddenly, the door behind him was flung open, and at the same time, an old but stern voice reached his ears. "Admiralty, what are you doing now?! This alarm came from your door!"

"Ah, Elvon, this started from here. Is there something you need?" Admiralty didn't turn around, still keeping his head down as he recorded the data.

"The First Herrscher, the Herrscher Core, is right here with you. Do you know how important it is? This is part of our research on the Herrscher..."

"Alright, alright, Director, I'm sick of hearing that." After recording the data, Admiralty turned to look at Elvon. "Don't worry, the Herrscher of Reason's Herrscher Core is perfectly fine. It's still here, all right."

Hearing Admiralty's answer, Elvon a sigh of relief, then looked at the other facilities in Admiralty's laboratory. "Where's your assistant, Margaret? Shouldn't she be here too, given how much research is needed on the Herrscher Core?"

The other researchers in the lab looked at each other, unsure of how to begin.

"Margaret? Isn't she right here?" Admiralty said, stepping aside. Elvon's pupils contracted sharply when she saw the situation.

On the Admiralty's experimental table, a girl lay quietly, her face pale and her entire body covered in red lines, typical symptoms of death caused by Honkai Energy infection.

Meanwhile, in the girl's abdomen, a Herrscher Core floated silently.

"What did you do?!" Elvon almost roared as he said this.

"As you can see, we are researching the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Reason." Admiralty pushed up his glasses and said, "Herrscher are transformed from humans, so why can't Herrscher be artificially created? Is the Herrscher Core a key to becoming Herrscher? I am very curious about this, so I am trying to implant the Herrscher Core into individuals with high Honkai Energy resistance for research."

"So the result is you... causing the death of a fine, innocent girl?" Elvon questioned. "Admiralty, do you know what you're doing?"

"I know what I'm doing, Director Elvon." Admiralty continued, taking out surgical instruments as he spoke. "What kind of researcher is one who doesn't even know what he's doing?"

Do you know what you're saying?!

"After all, this was the first formal attempt, so failure was to be expected." Admiralty approached the body of his assistant, preparing to begin the dissection. "However, this failure will provide experimental data for the next attempt, reducing the chances of failure in the next experiment. Besides, this is more valuable than before..."

"Enough!" Elvon couldn't take it anymore. "Admiralty, I once thought you were my proudest student, but you... look at what you've done! You've let a life end, you haven't even shown her any respect, you..."

Admiralty stopped what he was doing, looked at Elvon, and calmly said, "Director, you're wrong. Of course I respect life, but can respecting life help us defeat Honkai? We still don't know the specific principles behind the birth of Herrscher, let alone what the Herrscher Core is born from. Honkai Energy? If so, then why do different Herrscher possess different powers? We need to know this; only then can we truly understand what Honkai is."

"Nonsense!" Elvon beard bristling and eyes wide. "What you've done is no different from what Mobius!!"

"Dr. Mobius?" Admiralty pushed up his glasses again. "I agree with some of her theories—humanity needs to evolve to be qualified to face Honkai. However, I'm different from her. I won't abandon those humans who can't evolve. If Honkai is a disaster, then Artificial Herrscher can allow us to control this disaster. In that case, we wouldn't need to conduct experiments to evolve a large number of humans like Dr. Mobius did. Only a very small number of people need to become Herrscher. Isn't that also a kind of evolution?"

"Admiralty ..." Elvon's voice trembled, his trembling finger pointing at Admiralty, "From this moment on, all your experiments cease. You are no longer a researcher at the Third Research Institute, nor my student. You will face trial at the Fire Moth Tribunal!"

"You're being too agitated. I have a signed informed consent agreement here with Margaret. She did it voluntarily." Admiralty casually produced an agreement. "At the same time, I must remind you, Director Elvon, that I am the head of the A4 experimental area and the deputy director of the Third Research Institute, directly appointed by the Fire Moth Council. You have no right to remove me from my position, much less terminate my experiments. Even if the Fire Moth Chaser Council ultimately agrees with you, I can still continue my research until then."

"What about those people Honkai by the Honkai who were transferred from the Fifth Research Institute to your place? I have the authority to transfer them, don't I?" Elvon was quite angry, but found that he really had no way to deal with this former student.

"Ah, that researcher from Su is quite capable. He took good care of them; they are excellent experimental subjects." Admiralty shrugged. "You do indeed have the authority to transfer them, but unfortunately, I don't have anyone here who can allow you to transfer them. Margaret, she wasn't the first, and certainly won't be the last experimental subject."

"You mean, all four of them were transferred here for follow-up treatment..."

"Their sacrifices were not in vain. Just like how Margaret did briefly become the Herrscher of Reason this time, although the time was short, and I can't confirm whether she still retained human rationality, and her Honkai Energy gathering level has not yet reached the level of a normal Herrscher, it is still a huge leap forward overall..." Admiralty's tone was calm, as if he were stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

Elvon pointed at Admiralty, pressed her hand to her chest, and couldn't utter a single word.

Admiralty's face betrayed no other emotion. He simply stood before his workbench, took out the medication for his heart condition, and handed it to his teacher. "Your heart isn't good, and you're exposed to Honkai Energy every day, so there's a risk of it worsening, therefore..."

Elvon slapped Admiralty's hand away, scattering the medicine all over the floor. Admiralty didn't say anything, but instead grabbed the phone next to the lab and called the infirmary, "The director's old illness has flared up again, Admiralty guys come over here."

Elvon clutched her chest and stared at Admiralty for a long time before letting out a desolate sigh. She then turned away, her body hunched, and left Admiralty's laboratory.

Admiralty watched Elvon leave, and after the lab door closed, he seemed completely unaffected, looking at the other researchers and saying, "What are you all standing there for? Let's move on to the next experiment."

Fire Moth headquarters, Mobius Laboratory.

"Big news! Big news!" Danzhu rushed into the laboratory. "The Fire Moth Council just issued an investigation order against Dr. Admiralty, the deputy director of the Third Research Institute, and temporarily suspended all his research and work. I heard he was experimenting on humans to study the Herrscher problem!"

"That's certainly a crazy idea, but it's not without reason. He probably wants to understand the Herrscher first, and then further understand the Honkai." Rovoc said calmly while observing the data recorded by the little mouse in the incubator.

"Senior Sister Rovoc, what's wrong with you..." Danzhu twitched the corner of her mouth, expressing her incomprehension at Rovoc's calm demeanor.

"It's nothing really." Klein came over from the other side of the laboratory carrying a pile of documents. "Besides, Danzhu, instead of focusing on this kind of thing, you should compile more data."

"Sister, I..." Danzhu tried to seek recognition from her older sister, Cangxuan.

As a result, Cangxuan was busy calculating the budget and expenses required for the various experiments in the laboratory and had no time to pay attention to her.

"Admiralty has been placed under investigation?" Mobius became interested in the matter, muttering to herself, "Ah, it's come to this... So next, he'll probably be warned, but if he keeps repeating the same mistakes and even gets worse, he'll eventually commit a serious offense after the Fifth Law incident and be stripped of his position as deputy director of the Third Research Institute and imprisoned in the deepest sanctuary, right?"

I remember in my previous life, I was also quite interested in Admiralty's whimsical plan to create artificial laws. I even went to great lengths to discuss it with him, but we eventually parted on bad terms due to some differences in our ideas. Later, some of the experiments and theoretical foundations of Zhu Yufeng's "Project: Ascend to Divinity" came from Admiralty, and when Mei first proposed the Fusion Warrior Project, she also referred to Admiralty's experimental data and information.

It wasn't until the Seventh Law incident that Admiralty was released for the Fusion Warrior Project and participated in the surgeries on Kevin and Zhu Yufeng.

After the Fallen Angel Squad was established, Zhu Yufeng was often away on missions, so it was impossible for Yadmiller to keep track of Zhu Yufeng's information at all times. Therefore, when Zhu Yufeng was on a mission, the data collection and monitoring of his physical signs were the responsibility of Admiralty.

The fifth among the Thirteen Fallen Angels, the Blasphemous Fallen Angel.

Admiralty is relatively normal now. According to Yu Feng and based on his own experience, Admiralty is actually quite easy to get along with, but he is particularly obsessed with artificial laws.

She pursues infinity in order to exhaust the truth of the world and realize the progress of mankind, while Admiralty is obsessed with analyzing Honkai and laws, and then using them to create laws for mankind.

It seems like... what was the name of the assistant who Admiralty in that experiment?

Send a message to Yu Feng and ask when he's coming back so I can go pick him up myself.

In a noodle shop in a certain city.

"It's normal to be shy, and you don't need to feel like there's any barrier between you and Disaster." Zhu Yufeng put down her chopsticks, having finished the noodles in her bowl. "Different lovers have different ways of getting along. Just be yourself in whatever way makes you feel comfortable. That's all my advice for your reference."

"...I've learned a lot." Kosma nodded.

Zhu Yufeng took out his phone to check the time, then saw a message from Mobius and fell into deep thought.

Admiralty stirring up trouble so quickly?

It's often said that he's more rational than emotional, but more often than not, it's just that he doesn't care what others think. If it involves Elysia or other Fallen Angel Flame-Chasers, he'll still think emotionally.

Admiralty is a true rational thinker who far surpasses emotional thinking, much like May. In daily life, others might think Admiralty is more humane than May, but when it comes to decision-making, the two are about the same.

In the Ninth Law incident Admiralty was the first to propose abandoning Mu Continent and some Fusion Warrior to buy time for the others to evacuate. In the suppression of the Rebel Army, Admiralty was also the first to point out that the Rebel Army had no reason to live. In the Eleventh Law incident Admiralty was actually quite opposed to supporting Elysia and the others. Later, Zhu Yufeng didn't know why Admiralty still chose to follow.

Admiralty's Fallen Angel Squad was also selected by Lilith. Admiralty admitted that if Lilith hadn't approached him, he would have buried himself somewhere else.

In fact, Lilith was the one who selected the Thirteen Fallen Angels, which is why Zhu Yufeng thought that Lilith was Elysia among the Thirteen Fallen Angels.

Admiralty's obsession with artificial laws probably stems from the fact that his last remaining emotion, called love, is entirely devoted to his assistant, Margaret.

He wanted to prove that her sacrifices for him were not in vain. If someone else had died, perhaps Admiralty would have changed his research approach. In the end, it was Margaret's death that made him decide to go down a dead-end path, the kind of path where he wouldn't turn back even if he hit a wall.

It was only Nahamah tricked Admiralty into drinking a lot of alcohol that he finally opened up, and since then Admiralty has never touched a drop of alcohol.

The incident at the Third Research Institute following the Fifth Law incident was caused by Admiralty's experiment, which resulted in the near-total annihilation of most of the researchers at the Third Research Institute.

Zhu Yufeng did consider intercepting Admiralty's experiment ahead of time, but he quickly rejected the idea. He didn't have enough theoretical basis to convince Admiralty, nor could he convince Margaret not to volunteer.

Blasphemous Fallen Angel...

Speaking of Admiralty, he's always been quite obsessed with the Law of Anatomy. What if he finds out about me and Elysia's identities? Wouldn't that be dangerous...?

In his previous life, he didn't even dare to test Admiralty, fearing that Admiralty would discover something. He could only try his best to prevent Admiralty from accessing any of Elysia's medical reports.

Mobius mentioned Admiralty's matter to him... Well, let me tell Mobius what I know first, and Mobius will know what to do next.

As for when I'll be going back, that's a more important question, so I'll put that first before any other news.

"Has something happened?" Kosma suddenly asked.

"... It's nothing. Mobius just asked me when I was going back." Zhu Yufeng calmly put away his phone, deciding to have a more detailed discussion with Mobius about Admiralty later that evening.

Kosma: "..."

(You said you weren't a relationship counseling expert, but look at you, you're quite the expert!)

Zhu Yufeng raised her eyes. "Let me emphasize again, I am not some relationship counseling master. If I were, our relationships wouldn't be in such a mess now."

Kosma gave him an expression that said, "Do you think I believe you?"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Never mind, he won't argue with a child.
