Seeing this, Elysia couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression. "They're so well prepared. Are they going to swarm me and chop me into mincemeat at your command?"

"It's just a safety measure. You're overthinking it. Would I need to do something like this to deal with you?"

Ai Yue shook his head, then pulled out a bunch of miscellaneous equipment. "Take all of this with you."

Soon, Elysia was enveloped in a bunch of things. Her head, limbs, torso, and even her fingertips were all connected to her body with detection devices. At first glance, it looked like Elysia was going to undergo some kind of motion capture.

After confirming that all the equipment was working properly, Ai Yue nodded and handed the Eighth Divine Key to Elysia: "Now, try to activate these three powers at the same time."

"Huh?"

Elysia held the Third Divine Key in her hand, the Sixth Divine Key around her neck, and the Eighth Divine Key atop her head, her face showing a bewildered expression. "What, how do I do this?"

Clearly, this instruction is somewhat beyond the scope of the curriculum.

"Use your imagination, you can definitely do it."

Ai Yue tried to give Elysia some advice, "If all else fails, try activating different powers one by one. There's bound to be a way."

When Elysia first activated her powers, Ai Yue discovered from the monitoring data that a special signal was being released within Elysia's body. However, when Ai Yue tried to analyze this signal, he found that it was very incomplete and could not be interpreted at all.

Therefore, Ai Yue guessed that it might need to activate multiple powers at the same time to gradually become complete, which led to today's experiment.

After hesitating for a while, Elysia closed her eyes and said, "I'll give it a try. Wait a moment."

Simultaneously wielding different powers is something that sounds complicated but is actually even more complicated. After all, even among the Herrscher, only Ai Yue, who was possessed by Prometheus, had ever tried to operate two powers at the same time, but that was just a simple imitation of spatial powers, and could not be considered as simultaneously controlling them.

But for Elysia, since she contains information related to these powers within her, she should have the ability to control them simultaneously—and for Elysia, this should only be the beginning.

After all, according to Ai Yue's speculation, the powers and abilities the other party possesses may even far exceed twelve.

Time passed second by second, but neither Elysia nor the information displayed on the monitoring device changed in the slightest. Ai Yue watched the scene before him, not daring to urge her on, for fear of interfering with Elysia's actions and causing the experiment to fail.

Just then, a monitoring device suddenly rang, and on its screen, it could be seen that Elysia's mental wave frequency was becoming more active than ever before.

It was a success?

Ai Yue stared at the data and subconsciously held his breath.

Immediately afterwards, the Third Divine Key, which Elysia held in her hand, gradually lit up with dazzling electric light, and a huge fluctuation of mental energy could be felt from Elysia's body.

Beneath her feet, cracks began to appear in the cement ground that had once covered the wilderness, and countless weeds were bursting with terrifying vitality, trying to break free of the constraints overhead and receive the sunlight.

Success! Such a reaction undoubtedly involves the simultaneous activation of three different powers!

Ai Yue dared not be careless and immediately recorded all the data from the monitoring equipment, fearing that any mistakes might lead to problems in the details.

After ensuring that all information had been backed up more than three times, Ai Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Elysia not far away, "Elysia, it's ready..."

His words to Elysia to stop caught in his throat, because at the same moment Ai Yue spoke, Elysia opened her eyes.

In her eyes at that moment, Ai Yue could not sense any human emotion.

Chapter 82 What are you four women up to doing together?

At the headquarters of the Moth to Fire, in an underground protective facility that even Ai couldn't detect, Dr. Mei turned on the lighting system.

This place was first secretly built when the Seventh Herrscher ravaged Australia. Its purpose was to preserve the human race as much as possible, because at that time, the increasingly powerful Herrscher had made many people feel despair, and they had begun to make the worst plans.

However, due to Ai Yue's later arrival, which directly reversed the situation, and the great difficulty of such deep construction work, the project was eventually suspended.

Because this project was kept extremely confidential, and no corresponding records were left, only a very few people still remember it today.

Dr. Mei only remembered the project later during the Aberration Event, and because the situation at the time was not optimistic, she tried to restart it.

However, with Ai Yue's return, the project was once again suspended, leaving only a rudimentary base with a basic living system.

And this time, it finally came in handy.

So, does it have to be here?

Mobius emerged from behind her, looked at the shabby surroundings, and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I think with your physical condition, staying here will only double your lifespan."

"Thanks to Ai Yue, my physical condition is now very good, even..."

Dr. Mei explained for a moment, then paused, "In short, the reason we chose this location for the meeting is to ensure that the content of our conversations will not be obtained by anyone."

"Whatever you want, I don't understand these things anyway."

Mobius waved his hand and casually found a seat. "Where's Kevin? Isn't he coming along for something like this?"

"I can speak for him, and besides, I need Kevin to prove that he is still in the office at this time."

Dr. Mei sat down as well. "As for your side, you're not the only one who came, are you?"

"Eden won't come; she'll stay in Atra City. As for that woman, she can just connect remotely."

Mobius casually remarked, "You're not worried that someone can still eavesdrop on Aponia's mental link, are you?"

"It's not impossible..."

Dr. Mei hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Well, that's really unlikely, after all, it's Aponia."

Aponia's status among psychic users can be described as unquestionable. Even with Kevin, there are always debates about who is stronger, him or Elysia. But Aponia is unique in that no matter how you look at it, she is undoubtedly the strongest among Mental Perception Fused Warrior.

After all, her achievements were simply too terrifying—directly suppressing the Eighth Herrscher, who wielded mental power, in the mental realm. This reversal of the natural order could even give people a sense of mental derangement. Not to mention that almost a year had passed since then, and no one could say for sure how much Aponia had grown in that year.

Therefore, because Aponia is so powerful in the field of mental abilities, there is no one who can compete with her. Whenever the topic of "strength ranking" starts to circulate on the Moth to Fire's internal network like a menstrual cycle, everyone will silently place Aponia at the top of the list of mental ability users, and then start ranking from the second place.

Such a person, unless she wants to, cannot have her mental link accessed—not even if the Eighth Herrscher is resurrected on the spot.

"Yes, after all, people who come from the same place as Ai Yue are all very strange."

Mobius couldn't help but exclaim, "Ai Yue's decision to transform Twilight Street into a school was truly wise. I really suspect there's something wrong with the feng shui of that place."

"Feng Shui?"

Dr. Mei never expected to hear this word from Mobius. "You still believe in this?"

"I didn't believe it before, but after meeting Ai Yue, I started to waver."

Mobius curled his lip. "There were four people brought to the Moth to Fire from Twilight Street back then, each with unique skills. Even the seemingly harmless little cat wasn't normal. Do you believe me if I say there's nothing wrong with this place?"

Dr. Mei blinked, her expression becoming subtle.

The four people who emerged from Twilight Street are: Ai Yue, the navigator and guardian of human civilization; Aponia, the world's strongest psychic; Kalpas, who is not even from Earth; and even Pardofelis, who possesses incredible luck that science cannot explain...

Thinking about it this way, this Twilight Street does indeed have a lot of problems.

"It seems you think so too."

Although Dr. Mei did not speak, Mobius still noticed something from the subtle changes in her expression. "So, by building Morning Sun Academy on Twilight Street, maybe more shady characters will grow up there in the future."

"Isn't it a bit of an exaggeration to describe it as a complete mess?"

Dr. Mei shook her head slightly, "Moreover..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence because at that moment, a faint sound came from outside the door.

A moment later, Vill-V pushed open the door and entered.

"Hey, you two, I didn't expect you to pick such a hard-to-find place."

Upon seeing the figure sitting in the room, Vill-V paused for a moment, then swaggered down and sat down as well. "I was invited by Aponia, but it seems she's not here?"

"I've always been here."

Aponia's voice echoed in her mind, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

"Wait, is everyone here now?"

Vill-V's eyes widened immediately. "This isn't what I imagined! Without someone in charge of fighting, what can we possibly accomplish?"

"Today's meeting is just for communication, exchanging information, and seeing if we can reach an agreement."

Dr. Mei said, "Only after reaching an agreement can we consider what comes next."

"So what exactly does it refer to?"

Vill-V scratched her head. "To be honest, I don't know anything about it at all. When Aponia invited me, she was very secretive and didn't reveal any valuable information, so I'm afraid I don't have any intelligence to give you."

"Don't worry, you have other values."

Mobius chimed in, "As for what we're discussing, you'll definitely agree to it once you know."

Instead of speaking, Vill-V made a gesture that said, "Please begin your performance."

"Alright, let's officially begin today's meeting,"

Dr. Mei cleared her throat and spoke up, "There are indeed many mysteries surrounding Elysia's past. The earliest record we can find is that she initially lived in an orphanage in a small town under Vostok. We can't find any more information than that."

Upon hearing Elysia's name, Vill-V immediately perked up.

"Then let me state my conclusion,"

Mobius then pulled out a stack of documents and placed them on the table, uttering an even more explosive statement. "Elysia, she's probably not even human."

Chapter 83 Fortunately, I was one step ahead.

After these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

"Is the topic of discussion today really that explosive?"

Vill-V was stunned for a moment before remembering to get Mobius's documents. "So what is this, Elysia's medical report?"

Of course she knew that Elysia must have caused the problem this time, otherwise Ai Yue wouldn't have transferred her to his side—but didn't this problem sound a bit exaggerated?

"These are case studies of Fused Warrior surgery. All of these are constructed through virtual models to rehearse the results of the fusion between humans and 'Mahamayuri'."

Mobius explained, "The key point is that I simulated countless possible results of humans fusing with the 'Mahamayuri' gene, but none of them were successful."

"Isn't it a bit far-fetched to conclude that Elysia is not human based on this alone?"

Vill-V was still trying to explain, "According to you, wasn't Kevin in the same situation back then?"

Although Vill-V did not personally participate in the initial Fusion Warrior Project, she was naturally aware of the uproar surrounding Kevin's situation within the Moth to Fire.

It was around that time that she gained a deeper understanding of Dr. Mei and Kevin, this pair of eccentric individuals—one was willing to push his lover onto a death-defying operating table to save the world, and the other agreed to such a thing without hesitation for his lover; they were simply a match made in heaven.

"Kevin is different; there are successful cases of Kevin's fusion surgery in simulations."

Mobius shook his head. "But Elysia didn't—even with the Fusion Warrior technology that has been iterated three times, there are still no successful cases of using the genes of the Mahamayuri."

"Although things might have been different if Ai Yue had been in charge, I think this result speaks volumes."

This time, Vill-V didn't speak again, not only because what Mobius said made a lot of sense, but also because she saw the second half of the document at this moment—a summary by Mobius of the side effects that would occur after a person merges with the Mahamayuri.

None of them are the same as the characteristics that Elysia is currently exhibiting.

"It seems you've realized that too."

Noticing Vill-V's silence, Mobius said, "Even if Elysia is truly a miracle among billions, she could never appear in the world in that form."

"Rather than saying that she fused with the genes of the Mahamayuri, it would be more accurate to say that she awakened a certain power by using the genes of the Mahamayuri."

"That doesn't seem worth making such a fuss about, does it?"

Vill-V continued, "Aren't there plenty of inhumans in our organization? For example, I don't think Ai Yue is human. What human has a brain like his? There's definitely something wrong with him!"

Dr. Mei and Mobius simply watched her rage silently, until finally Vill-V was forced to calm down. "Alright, so you suspect that Elysia poses a threat to humanity? That's unlikely, isn't it? Even if she's not human, could she possibly be Herrscher?"

The two remained silent in the face of Vill-V's question.

"No way,"

Vill-V found the answer in the somewhat unbearable silence, "Is she really Herrscher?"

"The probability is over 90%."

Dr. Mei nodded. "Aponia, are you still there? Show 'that' to Vill-V."

Just as Vill-V was about to speak, she heard Aponia tell her to close her eyes. After she did so, an image appeared in her mind.

Those are murals that Aponia and Eden discovered on the moon.

"There are also files here that were previously kept tightly sealed by the Moth to Fire, which record an incident in which an unidentified object fell from the moon."

Dr. Mei also produced a document, which, in terms of both time and place, matches Elysia's experience of living in Vostok.

"So what are you planning to do?"

After calming down, Vill-V spoke again, "Are you planning to arrest her and dissect her?"

"You've come to terms with reality so quickly?"
