Maybe... This World Can Still Be Saved! / Mobius and Stigmata Genes!

Looking at the moon in the sky, Ling Xi also seemed a little curious. It is said that the moon is moving away from the earth at a speed of about 4 centimeters per year. In 50,000 years, that would be... well, only 2,000 meters?

The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 380,000 kilometers, so...

Well, it would be a miracle if you could tell.

"Oh, Ling Xi is in such high spirits? She's actually looking at the moon."

Suddenly, Ling Xi heard a familiar voice. While trying to determine whether it was Elysia or Sakura, she suddenly realized that it seemed to be neither!

"Sirin?"

In an instant, Ling Xi realized that it was Sirin's voice.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Ling Xi!"

In front of Ling Xi, a chibi version of Sirin floated in the air, smiling at Ling Xi. Of course, in reality, Sirin was projected directly onto Ling Xi's retina, so only Ling Xi could see Sirin.

"You're finally awake, that's great..."

Seeing that Sirin, who had been asleep for so long, had finally woken up, Ling Xi was completely relieved.

During this period, he would go to the consciousness space to look for Ling Xi almost every day, but every time he went there, Sirin was asleep, which made him very worried.

After all, Sirin had exhausted her power and fallen into a deep sleep for her sake, and Ling Xi remembered what Sirin had said when they first met: she could only help her once, and her power would be exhausted. So Ling Xi was very worried that Sirin might never wake up again.

After all, Sirin was not only his friend, but also his cheat code, and more importantly... the person who saved him twice.

"Heh, didn't I already say? Consuming the Herrscher of the Void's power won't have a significant impact on me; it just means I can't give you a second chance, so..."

Sirin turned her head slightly and smiled, "When you face even stronger enemies in the future, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"Don't worry, Sirin, from now on... I'll protect you."

Ling Xi nodded solemnly. She had exhausted all her strength to help her, so... even if Sirin could no longer provide her with any help in the future, she would still take care of her.

"Then you should protect yourself first, because if you're gone, I'm gone too."

Sirin rolled her eyes at Ling Xi and snorted, "Besides, I just can't provide you with the power to help you, but the mission and reward system are still there. Oh right, I haven't given you the reward for defeating the Third Herrscher last time."

Speaking of this, Sirin simply spread her hands, and a purple core and a metal syringe appeared in front of Ling Xi. At the same time, Sirin smiled and said, "This is the Conquest Gem, and the other is the Gemini Stigmata Gene. Keep it safe!"

"Conquest Gem?"

Ling Xi was immediately confused, because the Conquest Gem was another form of the Lightning Herrscher Core, which was actually the Herrscher Core. She hurriedly asked, "Wait, could it be... that the Herrscher Core rewarded by the mission was obtained from the Third Herrscher?"

"Nonsense!"

Sirin pursed her lips and said irritably, "Mission rewards are mission rewards, and loot is loot. How can you mix them up?"

"Um... hehe, okay then."

Ling Xi smiled again. Goodness, she had thought that the Herrscher Core she had taken from the Third Herrscher was the reward for the mission. She hadn't expected that her little Sirin was such an honest person. If it had been someone Ai-chan who was a swindler, she probably would have just pocketed the reward!

"Thank you so much, Sirin, you're my lucky star!"

Ling Xi pretended to hug Sirin.

"Ah, no..."

Sirin quickly put her hands in front of her to block, but showed no intention of running away. Then...

Ling Xi simply hugged a ball of air, since what Ling Xi was seeing now, Sirin, was originally formed directly on her retina.

Ling Xi "..."

Sirin "..."

"Puff..."

Sirin burst out laughing. "You can't hug me."

"Hmph, then I'll go back to my consciousness space and see if I can hold on to it."

Ling Xi chuckled softly. It was true that she couldn't touch Sirin in the real world, but she could in the consciousness space. After all, she had touched Sirin before, and during the few days that Sirin had been asleep, she had visited Sirin every day... cough cough.

"Ahem, Ling Xi, you should put away the Herrscher Core first, as well as the Gemini Stigmata, which are also quite special Stigmata."

Sirin quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, I'll let you off this time."

Ling Xi was in a good mood at the moment, so she naturally didn't hold a grudge against Sirin. She spread her right hand and directly integrated the Conquest Gem into her body, or more precisely, into the Stigmata Space.

Then, Ling Xi picked up the remaining metal syringe, which looked... a bit big!

It is a full inch wide and about ten centimeters long. It contains a blue liquid and a fluorescent substance in the form of a double helix DNA!

I have to say, these so-called Gemini Stigmata are really different. The Stigmata I'd drawn before, whether it was Aslaug or Cecilia, existed in card form. I could use them with a single thought, but...

This Gemini Stigmata is a syringe, and Ling Xi, who knows the plot setting of Honkai, is also aware that this is the true prototype of the Schicksal Artificial Stigmata!

After all, the Stigmata is a gene. The natural Stigmata is the Stigmata Gene left by Doctor Mobius from the previous Previous Era to future generations, while the Artificial Stigmata of Schicksal is the direct injection of new genes, thereby forming a new Stigmata by testing the physical strength of the test subject!

Of course, the naturalness brought by Artificial Stigmata cannot be compared with that of natural Stigmata, after all, the existence of Stigmata is so mysterious that even the heavens did not fully understand it until the very end.

Holding the syringe in her hand, Ling Xi's mind raced, and the relevant information table for the Gemini Stigmata appeared in Ling Xi mind.

[Twins: Available for Ling Xi and Seele. Disposable. After injection, they form a natural twin Stigmata, covering any Stigmata implanted before or in the future. They possess the basic ability of Stigmata Space and storage consciousness. More specific abilities are unknown...]

Ling Xi: "..." Did the copywriter slack off again?

Or maybe the programmer is up to something again, creating something that even they don't know has bugs in, and then writing "specific capabilities unknown"!

However, the Stigmata Space to store consciousness is indeed a power of natural Stigmata. After all, in the new civilization era, some people who possess natural Stigmata are influenced by the original owner of the Stigmata, for example...

The most classic cherry blossom reminiscence episode is when Theresa is affected by the consciousness of the Yae Sakura Stigmata!

The result was that Sakura became silly, and then it even expanded into Magical Girl Special... thud!

Chapter 204: Perhaps... this world can still be saved!

"I guess I won't need this Stigmata..."

Looking at the description of the Gemini Stigmata, which states that it would cover all other Stigmata, Ling Xi felt that it wasn't suitable for her.

After all, although he doesn't have a complete set of five-star Stigmata right now, he can freely change Stigmata without any side effects, which means he has unlimited possibilities.

While twins are desirable, they are clearly not suitable for me, and besides...

It says on it that Seele can use it, it's practically telling me that this is Stigmata for Seele.

But should we give it to Seele now?

I don't know if this set of Stigmata has any side effects. Although it was given to me by Sirin, and generally there shouldn't be any side effects, what if there are?

Furthermore, Seele's daily life is quite good right now. If she were given Stigmata, her mindset might change. And most importantly, will Seele really become... in the future?

Of course, no matter what, I will definitely let Seele obtain the power of the Stigmata. It's okay now, the world is still in a relatively peaceful phase, but in a few years, the whole world will be shrouded in the shadow of the Honkai. If Seele doesn't have any ability to protect herself then, how will she survive in that world?

Therefore, giving Seele Stigmata a must; the only difference is when. Also...

"Stigmata Gene..."

Stigmata Ling Xi wasn't sure if her Doctor could understand it, but... if you add the word "genes," then that's Mobius's area of expertise.

The origin of the Stigmata is the masterpiece of Doctor Mobius from the Previous Era. However, only half of it was completed at that time, which was the female Stigmata. As a result, in the post-civilization era, men basically die when they encounter Honkai, and the rest are all overpowered. Women, on the other hand, have a certain degree of Honkai Energy resistance, and a very small number of them can even awaken the Stigmata and become Valkyrie warriors who fight against Honkai!

Therefore, not only the Previous Era but also the post-civilization has been enjoying the benefits brought by Doctor Mobius. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time then, and the Stigmata Project was never implemented, but...

Looking at the Stigmata Gene in his hand, Ling Xi wondered if changing it now could truly alter the fate of the Previous Era.

Ling Xi wasn't sure about this, because her plan had always been to cling to Mobius's coattails, wait for the Finality to cleanse the mess, sneak into Hibernation Pod, and then head to the New Era to have some fun, or even wake up early to witness the reigns of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, exchange ideas with Cao Cao... cough cough, the Prime Minister, and treat Li Bai to vodka...

But...

At this moment, Ling Xi's mindset also changed slightly. If the plot continued as normal, then Mobius and Elysia would most likely die in the Finality battle. Sakura, Ling, and even Seele were all very likely to repeat their fate. The only Fused Warrior known to have survived into the new era are Immortal Fu Hua, and Ancestor Kevin Lao Ge!

If it were me back then, I would naturally choose the original plan without hesitation, not changing too much of the plot, and peacefully survive until the new era. But now...

Mobius, Elysia, Seele, and even Klein, who, though somewhat slow-witted, had always taken care of him, he had developed some inseparable bonds if he were to travel to the New Era alone...

Perhaps, at the last moment, he could put them into hibernation together. If they could survive to the end, Seele and Rin should be fine, but he wasn't sure if he could persuade Mobius and Elysia.

"Hmph, I'd better talk to the Doctor."

In the end, Ling Xi decided to have a chat with her Doctor. After all... there were some things she could tell Mobius without any problem.

Mobius is his wife, they're legally married.

"Oh, so you've finally decided to come back?"

Back in her room, Ling Xi immediately spotted Mobius lying on the bed playing on his computer. Mebius looked at Ling Xi with a half-smile and said, "I thought you'd run off to some vixen again."

Ling Xi: "..." Um... I think I haven't been exposed, right?

"Hmm? Why do you look so serious? Did someone make you angry?"

Seeing Ling Xi's somewhat serious expression, Mobius also seemed a little curious.

"No, it's just..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Doctor, how about we go for a drive together?"

"Oh..."

Faced with Ling Xi's invitation, Mobius hesitated for only a moment before nodding and smiling, "Okay, let's go!"

As he spoke, Mobius put on his coat and said with a smile as he walked, "Just so you know, I'm wearing slippers, so you'll be driving later."

"No problem, Doctor..."

Ling Xi smiled and nodded, then went downstairs with Mobius to prepare to leave...

"Hey? Where are you guys headed?"

In the living room, Elysia was chatting with Sakura, and the kitchen light was on, as if they were making a late-night snack!

"I'm bored, so I'll go for a walk with the Doctor. I'll be back in a bit."

Ling Xi answered Elysia immediately, and at the same time did not want Elysia to come along.

"Oh..."

Seeing Ling Xi's expression, Elysia wisely refrained from saying anything more, simply waving to Ling Xi and smiling, "Then come back soon, Sakura made something delicious."

Yes, I will!

Ling Xi waved and then went downstairs with Mobius...

"Hmm, this place is very quiet."

Before long, the two led him to a quiet riverbank. Mobius stretched lazily and chuckled, "Speaking of which, the last time we went out this late together was probably the time I asked you to get married, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

Ling Xi smiled as she looked at Mobius, feigning regret, and said, "It's a pity we were disturbed by some tactless guy in the end, otherwise we might have graduated earlier."

"Tch, do you dare?"

Mobius rolled her eyes at Ling Xi, not believing that Ling Xi would actually dare to do anything to her back then.

"Cough cough..."

Ling Xi coughed lightly, seemingly unwilling to return to the topic. After all... while she did have such an idea at the time, whether she would actually dare to cause trouble was another matter entirely.

After all, his relationship with Mobius back then wasn't as harmonious as it is now, let alone the current level of mutual understanding.

"Alright, you're asking me out so late, is there something you want to say?"

However, Mobius stopped teasing Ling Xi and instead asked her with a smile why Ling Xi had called him out. It was definitely not just about going for a drive and looking at the stars!

"Forehead..."

Hearing Mobius's words, Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then sighed and smiled, "Doctor, you must have noticed that the Herrscher are getting stronger and stronger, while human abilities are ultimately limited. So... what if Herrscher appears in the future that humans cannot contend with, and human civilization is completely destroyed?"

Chapter 205: Mobius and the Stigmata Gene!

"Human civilization was completely destroyed..."

Upon hearing Ling Xi's question, Mobius squinted at Ling Xi for a while before finally laughing, "Human civilization... destruction, heh, isn't that just a matter of time?"

Ling Xi: "???"

Clearly, Mobius's answer completely baffled Ling Xi. Wait... shouldn't you Thirteen Flame-Chasers be guided by the belief that humanity will surely defeat the Honkai? Why did you change your mind?
