Admil: I Suggest You Have More Children

Regarding his identity as a Herrscher, it wasn't that Zhu Yufeng didn't want to tell the other Fallen Angel, but rather that he had to consider whether they would believe him. In his previous life, Elysia struggled for a long time because of her Herrscher identity, and the same problem applied to Zhu Yufeng in this life.

After all, for Admil and the others, his identity as a Herrscher was rather sensitive and difficult to explain. Although Zhu Yufeng was confident that even if he revealed it, the Fallen Angel wouldn't care much... he just didn't know how to bring it up. Mobius and the others had also told him that it was best to keep his Herrscher identity a secret from as few people as possible. Just like how Kosma hadn't revealed anything about what happened in his previous life to Disaster, he couldn't very well say that Kosma didn't trust Disaster, could he?

If either of them had been a little more proactive, their child would probably have been born before Kevin and Mei's child. It's a pity they couldn't take that crucial last step... though I'm the same way...

In general, Elysia and the others are companions who have memories of their previous lives. There is no need for them to hide anything from each other about what happened in their previous lives and what everyone witnessed. Just like when Mostima regained her memories, he told Mostima about his identity as a Herrscher...

As for the other Fallen Angel who had not yet regained their memories of their previous lives, Zhu Yufeng ultimately chose to conceal it and even chose to give up, pretending that he did not have the identity of Herrscher.

But now that Admil has found the answer himself, there's no need to keep it a secret any longer.

"Is that so... When did you become Herrscher, or were you born Herrscher?" Admil asked first, then began to answer his own question, "Lilith's birth certificate and childhood experiences are all verifiable, but as for you, Maple... with my permission, there shouldn't be any files on the Fire Moth that I can't see, but only your past was locked by Dr. Mobius himself, so even I can't access it."

Because there was absolutely nothing in that so-called file about his past.

"Honkai can give birth to Herrscher, and the earliest record of you is that you were rescued by Elysia during a small-scale Honkai," Admil continued. "But that's strange. I investigated the Honkai Energy Honkai. Let alone Herrscher, it couldn't even give birth to a Honkai Emperor, the highest-level Honkai among lower-level Honkai Beast. How could a Herrscher possibly be born?"

"But in many cases, Honkai is irrational," Zhu Yufeng said with a shrug.

Admil remained silent, looking at Zhu Yufeng. Zhu Yufeng clearly saw a speechless expression in Admil's eyes. After a while, Admil said, "Honkai can indeed be thought of in many ways that cannot be understood by common sense, but at the very least, Honkai Energy is a form of energy. It is impossible to violate the Herrscher energy and give birth to a Herrscher of Energy with a small amount of energy... unless something theoretically possible, such as the Imaginary Tree or the Cocoon of Finality, is involved."

Zhu Yufeng recalled that when Elysia was born, it seemed to be just a small-scale Honkai, and no Honkai Beast were even born. Perhaps that was the special characteristic of the Origin Herrscher, or perhaps it was the special characteristic of the Herrscher of Humanity.

Even Lilith was born in human form, before the Honkai had even occurred.

Therefore, according to Admil, their existence is also due to the involvement of the Imaginary Tree or the Cocoon of Finality.

While this possibility cannot be ruled out, Zhu Yufeng still leans more towards the idea that the Origin Herrscher possess unique characteristics; they are both human and Herrscher, representing another possibility for the Honkai.

What exactly is the Finality?

What am I now?

Admil seemed to have discerned some of Zhu Yufeng's thoughts, and then said thoughtfully, "Judging from your reaction, you and Lilith should actually be born Herrscher? That's really... enough to overturn humanity's current understanding of Honkai... And it seems that Dr. Mobius knew about your identities a long time ago and took ample measures to prevent it, just like I've never seen your medical examination reports..."

Zhu Yufeng remained silent for a while before saying, "Admil, do you believe in the existence of past lives?"

Admil chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Maple, after I found some fragments of memories related to the Fallen Angel, what else do you think I can say? Past lives... these things are too mysterious, and existing scientific theories can't explain them at all. But in my mind, I extracted fragments of dreams through rituals, and they happened to overlap with fragments of Rovoc's dreams. Before this, I had never even met Rovoc."

"If you are willing to believe what I'm saying, then I can say that I was once a human being, to be precise, in your memory of my previous life, I was a human being," Zhu Yufeng said. "It was you who deduced the ladder to godhood, which gave me the opportunity to seize the so-called divine powers."

"You mean the Chimera Project, which Dr. Mei proposed based on the existing Fusion Warrior Project?" Admil quickly interjected. "That project... indeed, in my opinion at the moment, is the project most likely to come close to the Artificial Herrscher project..."

Zhu Yufeng nodded.

"No wonder, among the existing Fusion Warrior, you, Elysia, Lilith, Kevin, and Kosma are the most suitable candidates to accept the Chimera Project, but in the end, only Kevin was chosen to carry Chimera Project out. Because of Vishnu's special nature, although Kosma is a suitable candidate, the Chimera Project can ultimately have a very limited effect on him."

Admil has indeed remained fixated on the idea of Artificial Herrscher from the very beginning...

"You don't doubt me?" Zhu Yufeng tilted her head.

"I have no reason to doubt you," Admil said. "If you were Herrscher was hostile to humanity, you wouldn't have needed to remain hidden until now. Logically speaking, you had many opportunities to directly destroy the human civilization... But you and Mobius created World Serpent, and you have been targeted by almost all the Herrscher. The Seventh Herrscher is determined to kill you, the Eighth Herrscher wants to trap you forever, and the Ninth Herrscher and Tenth Herrscher are constantly trying to smear you... The rumors about the Tenth Herrscher haven't completely disappeared yet, have they?"

"I don't need to care about those rumors," Zhu Yufeng said with a faint smile. "I do what I want, what does it have to do with what others think of me?"

To challenge fate, one must place oneself in a position higher than fate, looking down upon the world.

"The Chimera Project aims to allow Fusion Warrior with strong Honkai Energy adaptability to further fuse with more Honkai Beast Hypervariable Factor, thereby enhancing their own Honkai Energy adaptability and acquiring power surpassing that of the Herrscher," Admil said. "And in this process, the Hypervariable Factor modify the Fusion Warrior' bodies, which in turn leads to the birth of Herrscher- like physical aptitudes..."

Admil paused, then said, "Assuming the Cocoon of Finality or the Imaginary Tree truly exists, and the theory of the Herrscher of Finality is established, then there is only one way for an artificial Herrscher to actively become a Herrscher without the help of Herrscher Core..."

"When the final Herrscher, the Herrscher of Finality, descends, he will use the massive amount of Honkai Energy needed to create the Herrscher of Finality to absorb it into himself, thus forcibly bringing about the birth of Artificial Herrscher," Zhu Yufeng said.

Admil paused for a moment, then muttered to himself as if he had received an answer, "So that's how it is... In other words, the Herrscher of Finality, just as I predicted, will be born in the near future due to a massive Honkai that will encompass the entire globe..."

Zhu Yufeng recalled that in the previous time, global Honkai Energy converged towards the moon, and the Herrscher of Finality was born at the location of the Finality Crater. Before that, he had intercepted a large amount of Honkai Energy heading towards the moon, and despite the excruciating pain that felt like his cells were being torn apart, he became the true Thirteenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Time, in a certain instant.

Although now she seems more like the Herrscher of Finality...

After a long pause, Admil looked at Zhu Yufeng with a complicated expression and said, "If what you said is true, that was our past... So, in the end, humanity failed, didn't it?"

"This attempt did indeed fail, but it still left a spark of hope for the next attempt. However, Mobius and the others haven't been able to figure out exactly why it returned to the present," Zhu Yufeng said.

"A spark of hope..." Admil's gaze shifted to the screen once more. "Maple... if everything you've said is true, in the final battle against the Finality battle, you... weren't killed by the Finality, but rather collapsed and perished because you couldn't withstand that level of Honkai Energy, right?"

Zhu Yufeng remained silent. How did Admil even deduce this? Wasn't he in charge of the construction of the Heavenly Thunder with Rovoc? How could he have time for this research...? Well, Admil was a workaholic; after becoming Fusion Warrior and improving his physical abilities, he practically wanted to work 24/7...

It's comparable to Klein...

"Really... if such a thing exists, you should say so sooner... no, from a generally rational point of view, it really shouldn't be explained to those of us who don't have previous memories, especially with Dr. Mobius also having previous memories..." Admil pressed his temples and said, "Am I right? At least Dr. Mobius and Dr. Vill-V definitely have so-called pre-existing memories."

"That's right," Zhu Yufeng admitted.

"Alright, let's get back to the initial discussion. Since you've acknowledged those points, then my current research direction is probably correct," Admil said, resting his chin on one hand. "However, I also believe that Dr. Mobius's talent, if not far surpassing mine, is certainly no less than mine. If the previous life existed, how could she not know the final result of doing that? If my analysis is correct, Dr. Mobius should currently have feelings for you that humans could call love, right? Would she be willing to do that?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Admil without saying a word.

"Yes, Margaret's matter is indeed..." Admil lowered his eyes, "But in my opinion, Dr. Mobius, at least, is much more emotional than I am. She should know that the final result of that plan will only be a dead end for you."

"She may know, but my resolve cannot be changed." Zhu Yufeng looked towards the door. "The ladder to godhood that I climbed was forged by all the Fallen Angel at the cost of their lives. I used Vishnu's special abilities to forcefully merge with all the Fallen Angel ... and thus gained the qualification to ascend to godhood. This is what you deduced."

"The previous... has it really come to this?" Admil sighed deeply. "The price of forcibly obtaining the qualification to become Herrscher in that way is to exacerbate one's own self-collapse. At that time, your body will be in a state of balance between collapse and repair, but this state cannot last long, or it will tend to be an unbalanced state of collapse... The result will inevitably be certain death."

Zhu Yufeng remained silent. Mobius knew about this, but it seemed that Mobius had also chosen to deceive herself. In fact, as early as the final stage of the Project: Ascend to Divinity, before he became Herrscher, Mobius should have already known his final fate. She just stubbornly insisted that he promise her that he would survive the War of Finality.

However, she died in the War of Finality. Mobius had asked her to promise him that the War of Finality... So, rounding up, she wasn't really breaking her promise. It seemed that at that time, Mobius was deceiving her, telling her that he could still survive... In fact, they both knew very well that the War of Finality was his end.

"Since you have already verified the success of this plan, then if we fail again this time, we will have a final insurance policy for the next one," Admil said. "The Stigmata Project can help share some of the Honkai Energy and forcefully achieve a balance between collapse and repair."

"So, if two Herrscher have a child, will the child also be Herrscher?" Zhu Yufeng suddenly asked. He didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to know the result, since Elysia and Lilith were Herrscher...

Admil was silent for a moment, then looked at him with a speechless expression and said, "Do you think Herrscher are as easy as cabbages? Two Herrscher can produce one Herrscher... I would definitely suggest that you and Lilith have a few more right now."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Should he tell Admil that Elysia is also Herrscher?

"Lilim was able to become Herrscher because she possesses a living Herrscher of Reason Core," Admil said. "The power of Herrscher cannot arise out of thin air. Even if you became Herrscher as you described last time... it only means your power is closest to the Finality ... Theoretically, your offspring with Lilith should possess a high degree of adaptability to the Herrscher Core; in other words, they should have perfect Herrscher bodies. Hmm, from the perspective of human advancement, I still suggest you have more children..."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

That Elysia...

"Wait... how did Lilith become Herrscher?" Admil frowned, realizing something was wrong. "Is she like you? No, wait, she's Fallen Angel too..."

"She... is a born Herrscher, ever since the last one."

Admil: "???"

Is Honkai really this unreasonable? A born Herrscher born in a human way?
