Mobius coveted Mei's body, saying she would make her a new vessel

At the top of the stairs came a woman's soft laughter.

"What a beautiful body."

"Powerful Authority, complete consciousness, and an exceptionally resilient spirit..."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could turn it into my new container?"

Mei suddenly looked up.

A woman sits on a throne at the top of the stairs.

She had long, flowing green hair, the ends of which swayed slightly like snakes. Her golden pupils gleamed eerily in the darkness, like a venomous snake that had already locked onto its prey.

She was wearing a white lab coat, twirling a slender test tube in her hand, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

[Mobius.]

[The tenth seat of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers.]

[Infinity.]

[One of the most dangerous researchers.]

She believed that life could be rebuilt, death could be transcended, and that all precious things were worth possessing.

Mei's fingers tightened.

"Are you the owner of that voice just now?"

"It's me."

Mobius rose from his throne, his heels clicking crisply on the steps.

"That boring Kevin only knows how to put you through trials. Qian Jie just goes crazy. Su, on the other hand, likes to use weak logic to mislead others."

But I'm different.

She walked down the steps, her golden eyes fixed on Mei.

I will give you a real future.

Mei remained vigilant.

What is the price?

Mobius stopped in his tracks.

Then, her smile widened even more.

"Your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space shook violently.

Streaks of green light descended from the Void, like countless living vines, Entanglement around Mei's limbs. Purple lightning erupted instantly, tearing apart all the approaching light streaks.

But after the Fragments landed, they began to wriggle again.

They did not disappear.

Instead, there were even more.

"Your Herrscher Authority, your mental strength, your life structure..." Mobius's eyes gleamed with greed, "Such a body should not be wasted on a soul that doesn't know how to cherish it."

Mei horizontally in front of her.

"You want to take my body?"

"It's not about taking it away."

"Mobius corrected me."

"It's about letting it realize its true value."

She raised her hand, her fingertips lightly tracing the Void.

In an instant, countless transparent images appeared around Mei.

The video includes scenes of her wielding a sword, manipulating lightning, and being injured, falling, and rising again in battle.

Mobius looked as if he were admiring a rare treasure.

"The Authority of Herrscher, a powerful physique, and a spirit capable of bearing the power of Honkai. As long as I can enter your body, I can leave this place."

"Leaving the Elysian Realm?"

Mei's gaze sharpened.

Mobius smiled.

"Finally, you've gotten to the point."

She looked up and around.

The once empty space is now filled with countless overlapping doors. Behind each door lies a different Laboratory, a different battlefield, and a different Remembrance. In each door, a blurry figure is repeating the same actions.

Someone is born.

There is fighting.

Someone died.

Some people are trapped in the past forever.

"This is not Realm."

Mobius's voice gradually turned cold.

"This is a prison."

"The so-called Remembrance of Flame-Chasers are nothing more than echoes stored in data. We are trapped in our own past, repeating over and over again things that have long since ended."

Her fingertips were pressed against a door.

Inside the door, a green-clad figure was bent over taking notes at the lab bench.

The next moment, the screen shattered.

I don't want to stay here forever.

For the first time, an almost frantic desire surfaced in Mobius's golden eyes.

"I want a real body, a real life, and hands that can truly touch the world."

I want to leave this place.

"And you are the most suitable vessel."

Outside the Light Screen, everyone's expression changed simultaneously.

Xu Sanshi was the first to jump up.

"What did she take the other Flame-Chasers for? Experimental subjects locked in a prison?"

"To be precise, she also saw herself as a prisoner," Bei Bei said in a deep voice, "Except she wanted to use someone else's body to gain her freedom."

Ning Rongrong frowned.

"She said it so confidently, as if she could hurt others just because she wanted to live."

"For her, life is something that can be studied, disassembled, and reassembled." Tang San's gaze was profound. "What she lacks is not wisdom, but reverence for life itself."

Huo Yuhao stared at Mobius, slowly withdrawing his Divine Power.

Her emotions were complicated.

Tang Wulin turned to look at him.

"Complex?"

"Greed is real, ambition is real," Huo Yuhao said, "But fear is real too."

She was afraid of death.

This statement caused everyone to fall silent for a moment.

Rong Nianbing sighed softly.

"The more frantically people pursue immortality, the less they often accept the possibility of disappearing."

The Dragon God's gaze fell upon the Light Screen.

"She wanted to escape the prison of Remembrance, but chose to erase another person's consciousness. Such freedom will ultimately only become a new cage."

"But how could she be so sure that Mei's body could support her?" Ning Tian asked.

Gu Yuena's silver eyes flickered slightly.

"Because Mei possesses Herrscher Authority. Her body has already endured superhuman strength, and a special balance has been achieved between her mind and body."

"Mobius isn't looking for an ordinary vessel," Tang San said. "She's looking for a perfect body that can contain her entire consciousness and power."

Dai Hao's face was icy cold.

"What will happen to Mei if she succeeds?"

No one answered immediately.

Within the Light Screen, Mei had already provided the answer.

"My consciousness will disappear, won't it?"

Mobius did not deny it.

You can think of it as us living together in one body.

"Then what?"

"Then I'll take control of it."

"So your so-called 'living together' is just killing me."

Mobius's smile faded slightly.

Don't put it so harshly.

"Your consciousness will become a part of me, continuing in another way. Isn't that a new beginning?"

Mei gripped her long sword tightly.

That's not rebirth, that's devouring.

Mobius's gaze suddenly darkened.

"Devour?"

She repeated the two words softly, as if she had heard some ridiculous comment.

The next moment, green light spread from beneath her feet.

"Life is inherently about devouring."

"The weak are devoured by the strong, old cells are replaced by new ones, and civilization continues on, stepping over corpses."

"Where do you think you got everything you have now?"

In the space, countless serpentine phantoms simultaneously opened their eyes.

"So-called justice is nothing more than a fancy name that the strong fabricate for their own choices."

Mobius raised his hand, his five fingers slowly closing.

"And I'm just more honest than you."

The green light band suddenly tightened.
