Mass Production of Fusion Warriors

After returning from the M continent, Mei gathered everyone and revealed the secret she had buried deep in her heart.

Upon learning that "the strength of Honkai is related to the level of technological development," everyone fell unusually silent.

"Then, we just need to race against Honkai, right? You can all do it, can't you?" Elysia lightened the mood.

"Indeed, I have the Assistant to carry me anyway," Vill-V said with a shrug, sounding indifferent.

"So... should we spread this news?" Mei asked again.

No one spoke, their gazes turning to Yoshikage Kira.

"...Humans are not that weak."

"I understand."

Afterward, the spread of this news did indeed cause quite a stir.

Some began to denounce researchers, while others abandoned their work.

But humans truly were not weak.

Humanity has never lacked those with unwavering resolve.

Concentrated hope can create miracles; this is humanity.

"That's why I love humanity, isn't it?" Elysia said with a smile.

[After the news spread, the researchers who remained at their posts began to work even harder]

[The vigilance of the Flame Chasers towards Herrschers was raised another level]

[To deal with potentially stronger Herrschers in the future, the Flame Chasers first set their sights on the Armed Dolls developed by Einstein]

[However, after prolonged practical combat, the Armed Dolls awakened self-awareness and protested, refusing to be expendable war tools]

[Finally, through Einstein's mediation, the Armed Dolls were granted freedom]

[However, the Flame Chasers subsequently listed Armed Doll technology as a forbidden subject, prohibiting further manufacturing]

[Later, Mobius proposed a mass production plan for Fusion Warriors to enhance combat power, but it was met with strong opposition]

[Mobius reached a settlement with the leaders of the opposition, and the latter "voluntarily" participated in human experimentation, ultimately perishing]

"Knowing the dangers of Hypervariable Surgery and still insisting on participating, I admire his spirit of brave sacrifice," stated an informed individual, Ms. Mei, afterward.

[With the resistance gone, the Fusion Warrior Project was moved into the open]

[The Flame Chasers officially promoted the plan with high welfare benefits for successful Fusion Warriors, encouraging a large number of volunteers to undergo Hypervariable Surgery]

[The maturation of Fusion Warrior technology significantly increased the success rate of the surgery]

[However, a large number of failed subjects appeared who had successfully fused but could not maintain their sanity]

[The Flame Chasers publicly announced the failed subjects had died, but in reality, they were sent to the Sea of Quanta for confinement]

[During this period, the other members of the Hero Squad also underwent Hypervariable Surgery]

["I saw the future; all of your surgeries were successful," Apponia stated]

[Afterward, except for the incompatible Yoshikage Kira and Himiko, everyone else became a Fusion Warrior]

"Hey, Pardo, can I touch your ears? Just once, okay~"

"Then you can't bother me anymore, Aili."

"Of course! Here I come, little Pardo."

"...What do you feel, Vill-V?"

"Hmph, I, no, it's we now. We have been completely separated."

"Now every Vill-V is an independent person!"

"Mm, I understand."

"Eh, why just that reaction? Aren't you happy, Assistant?"

"...Why should I be happy?"

"My consciousness has been split into eight parts. Marrying me is like marrying eight wives!"

"Oh? Then I am truly fortunate."

"Yes, yes, you must cherish me well."

"I will, even if you don't say it." Saying this, he gently stroked Vill-V's head.

"However, I shouldn't have to pursue the others again, Magician."

"No need, every Vill-V will love you without reservation!" Each personality spoke a word from the sentence, making the overall tone slightly strange.

But Yoshikage Kira felt that even the most beautiful music in the world couldn't compare to a tenth of a maiden's confession.

"Waaah! Aili, have you finished touching enough?"

"Don't rush, little Pardo, let me touch your tail too."

"Meow! No, you can't touch there!"
