Leave Ling Xi to Me! / Art Is the Herrscher of Nuclear Explosions!

Just as Mobius was recounting the Honkai, Klein suddenly walked in, looking at Mobius with a hint of helplessness. The Doctor had entrusted him with the task of making communications, and he was truly at a loss.

"Didn't I already say that Ling Xi was seriously injured when she fought the Third Herrscher last time, so she needs to recuperate for a year?"

Mobius glanced at Ling Xi silently, then looked at Klein, "Tell them that the Fourth Herrscher can only be dealt with by us humans. This time... Ling Xi will absolutely not participate in the war."

"Yes... Doctor."

Klein could only nod in agreement, then turned and left the laboratory to continue his work.

"Ling Xi... are you injured?"

Just after Klein left the lab, Elysia looked at Ling Xi with some surprise. When did this guy get injured? How come she didn't know? And...

Judging from this guy's fighting prowess over the past few months, he doesn't look injured at all.

"No, it was just a random excuse."

Because Elysia also knew some things about Ling Xi, Mobius didn't intend to hide anything from the girl, saying, "After all, Elysia, you know that Ling Xi's use of powerful Herrscher powers comes at a price, and the current Flame-Chasing Moths..."

"Every time there's a problem, you want Ling Xi to solve it. Even if Ling Xi can solve it once or twice, he can't solve it every time, and besides..."

Mobius also sighed and said, "This is playing with Ling Xi's body. Therefore, from now on, in battles against the Herrscher, Ling Xi will absolutely not make a move until the very last moment. Because once she makes a move, it means that humanity has found a temporary safe passage and no longer needs to make any effort!"

"This idea is destined to lead humanity to extinction, so... we cannot go down this path!"

"I completely agree!"

As soon as Mobius finished speaking, Elysia nodded decisively in agreement and laughed, "Besides, Ling Xi belongs to us, not them. Why should they demand that Ling Xi sacrifice her life to help humanity?"

"Yes, that's right."

Mobius nodded decisively. Although Elysia had just used the adjective "our," Mobius didn't care; at least...

When facing the higher-ups of the Flame-Chasing Moths, Elysia was indeed one of their own, and she knew the reasons for protecting Ling Xi, which was enough!

As for Elysia's verbal concessions, let her be; after all, they're just words.

Ling Xi "..."

Damn it, I possess both the Lightning Herrscher Core and the Flame Herrscher Core, how could I be so easily outmaneuvered by two girls? I...

They also have dignity!

"Ling Xi, do you have any thoughts?"

After speaking with Elysia, Mobius turned to look at Ling Xi with a smile.

"Of course not!"

Ling Xi smiled and said, "I'll follow the Doctor's instructions."

"Um."

Mobius nodded in satisfaction, then patted Ling Xi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Now, I'm giving you my orders: you... are not allowed to participate in any of the plans for the Fourth Herrscher this time!"

"Eh..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked with a helpless smile, "Then what should I do?"

"Stay home!"

Mobius hummed softly, "Also, Seele's going on winter break soon, you should bring Seele back as soon as possible, after all, your progress is too slow, and..."

Mobius thought for a moment and calmly said, "Although they probably wouldn't dare to do such a thing again, I'm still worried that they might have some thoughts about Seele during this time. So, if you don't absolutely have to go out, try to stay with Seele and Ling as much as possible."

"They want to harm Seele?"

Ling Xi's killing intent was immediately revealed. Some people had wanted to harm Doctor back then, although the matter was eventually dropped for certain reasons, but...

If anyone thinks they are easy to bully, or that they can bully their friends at will, then even at the cost of their bodies Honkai Energy eroded by Honkai energy, they will definitely show them the beautiful sight of fire and thunder overload!

"It's just a guess."

Mobius quickly stopped Ling Xi, saying, "But I'm not sure if they'll resort to desperate measures, anyway... it's always better to be careful!"

"Yes."

At this point, Elysia's expression turned serious, and she smiled at Ling Xi, saying, "Ling Xi, you must remember, in this world, you can never trust anyone other than us. After all... for the sake of profit, everything can be betrayed!"

"Ahem, it's best not to believe Elysia either..."

Mobius quietly added, "Of course, I'm talking about when it's safe!"

Elysia "..."

"Alright, that's settled then, Ling Xi..."

Mobius smiled at Ling Xi and said, "Starting today, I'm giving you a month's leave. During this month, I'll stay home and spend time with Seele. Except for me, refuse to discuss anything with anyone else regarding the Fourth Herrscher. In short..."

"From this moment on, anything concerning the Fourth Herrscher is none of your business. Even if the Fourth Herrscher destroys the entire Oceania, you cannot do anything without my orders. This is... taking responsibility for your own body!"

In the end, Mobius's tone gradually became serious. However, in short, Mobius only said one thing: to tell Ling Xi to stay at home obediently.

"I understand, I promise I won't lay a hand on you..."

Seeing that Mobius was so serious, Ling Xi nodded in agreement very seriously. After all, Mobius was thinking about his own health, even though... this would kill a lot of people.

"Mmm..."

Although Ling Xi kept reassuring him, Mobius still felt that this guy would cause trouble for some reason sooner or later, after all, this wasn't the first time.

For example, during the Third Honkai Eruption, it was clearly agreed that if Seele couldn't be found, they had to evacuate by a certain time, but...

This guy, when time was almost up, went straight to challenge the Third Herrscher to a solo duel. Although he eventually defeated the Third Herrscher, such a habit of disobeying orders on the battlefield can never be tolerated!

In addition, the higher-ups of the Flame-Chasing Moths group probably won't give up so easily. They will definitely send people to find Ling Xi. And those guys are very good at deceiving people. What if Ling Xi gets fooled?

Therefore, even at home, it's not safe unless... someone can keep an eye on Ling Xi for me. However, this person must be trustworthy, and they absolutely must be a master at avoiding being fooled, for example...

Mobius glanced silently at the Pink Elf beside him...

Chapter 228: Rest assured, leave Ling Xi to me!

"Elysia".

After a moment's hesitation, Mobius turned his gaze to Elysia.

"What's wrong, Mobius?"

Hearing Mobius call her name, Elysia immediately looked over at her.

"There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Mobius smiled slightly at Elysia, "You should know that the Fourth Herrscher has been born, so we have to find a way to deal with it. Therefore, I may not have time to go home recently. So... could you please keep an eye on Ling Xi for me?"

"Huh? Let me watch Ling Xi..."

Elysia was immediately puzzled. Wait, has this Mobius lost his mind? How dare he ask her to keep an eye on Ling Xi? Doesn't he know that this fairy... cough cough!

"Well..."

Elysia pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Okay, but... if I'm keeping an eye on Ling Xi for you, does that mean I don't need to come to the lab anymore? If that's the case, then I agree, after all..."

Elysia laughed happily, "I love this kind of job where I can slack off and make money at the same time!"

"That's natural."

Mobius nodded silently. After all, it didn't really matter whether Elysia was in the lab or not; it would just be a little more lively when Elysia was there.

"Then there's no problem!"

As soon as Mobius finished speaking, Elysia confidently patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Mobius, with me here, holding Ling Xi... cough cough, I guarantee that Ling Xi will never have a chance to leave my sight. Even if she's on the toilet, I'll be there to watch over her."

Mobius: "..." Let's just leave it at that...

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Mobius didn't bother to comment on Elysia's words, although she felt something was off, but...

Unfortunately, there aren't many people I can truly trust around me right now. While Klein and Danzhu are capable, they both have to conduct experiments for me. As for Seele and Sakura, it's already a miracle they haven't been fooled. So...

Among those around me who I can trust and who are relatively free, it seems that only Elysia is the only one.

Fine, I'll let her keep an eye on Ling Xi for now. At least with Elysia around, Ling Xi will definitely not be fooled by those higher-ups. After all, that girl is a master of deception, and we'll use deception to defeat deception!

But... why does it always feel like this girl's eyes are glowing with lust when she looks at Ling Xi? Um... it must be my imagination.

Ling Xi: "???"

Seeing that her fate had been arranged by the two of them, Ling Xi's expression was like this.

And... Holy crap, wait a minute, Elysia, are your eyes glowing green?

The news of the arrival of the Fourth Herrscher quickly spread around the world. After all, the scope of the Fourth Herrscher's influence was too great, and in this information age, how could this news be kept secret?

Fortunately, after learning of this, Flame-Chasing Moths immediately convened an emergency meeting, and then Mobius began to arrange for troops to enter Oceania.

Mobius's plan was to first eliminate the Honkai Beast, then test the Fourth Herrscher's abilities at the cost of human lives, and finally make strategic deployments targeting its weaknesses.

There's no other way; human strength is simply insufficient to confront Herrscher head-on. Therefore, the only option is to overwhelm them with sheer numbers. Perhaps... having Ling Xi test the waters would be a better choice, but...

Mobius made it clear from the beginning that this was a human matter. This wasn't to disqualify Ling Xi from being human, but rather that someone of Ling Xi's caliber shouldn't be simply described as human, and...

Even if it is the Fourth Herrscher, it is the Fourth Herrscher of this parallel universe. Humans... perhaps should no longer borrow power that does not belong to their own world.

Mobius had been suspecting this ever since the Honkai Changkong City.

"Checks complete, let's go!"

At the laboratory airport, the third squad, following orders, arrived with weapons provided by Mobius and quickly rushed to the battlefield. Their mission was to eliminate the Honkai Beast!

"Dr. Mobius, the new weapon has not been fully tested. Deploying it directly into actual combat may lead to some unexpected problems!"

Standing next to Mobius, Mei also looked somewhat worried as she watched the third squad set off with their weapons.

After all, this batch of weapons took less than three days from development to deployment, and it hadn't undergone any formal testing. The proportions of various materials were also not optimal. In short...

This batch of weapons is just an initial experimental version, and they have no idea how effective it will be!

"I've said it before, humanity doesn't have much time left."

In contrast to May's worries, Mobius appeared quite calm, saying, "The battlefield is the best testing ground. Once the usage reports for these weapons are returned, we'll have useful data, and..."

"Even if it was an experimental subject, it would be considered a divine weapon to modern humans."

"This..."

Mei hesitated for a moment, but did not refute it. Indeed, humanity's time... was truly running out. After all, given the Fourth Herrscher's destructive speed, Oceania would be completely reduced to ruins in less than three days, and after that...

The Fourth Herrscher will most likely go to the Mu Continent, or Asia, anyway...

None of this is good news!

The weapons that were just provided were the Honkai Energy -specific shells that the two of them made together a few days ago. Due to the time constraints, bullets have not yet been made, and they are currently using shells.

Although their specific effects have not yet been fully tested, they have been tested to ensure that they can cause serious damage to Honkai Beast.

Therefore, as Mobius said, even if these weapons were experimental, they are still considered divine weapons to mankind today!

"Doctor, this time..."

After a long silence, Mei finally asked the question she wanted to ask, "Ling Xi... he really won't participate in the battle?"

"As I said, Ling Xi is injured and will not be able to use his power for at least a year."

Mobius remained unfazed, calmly looking at Mei. "So, even if we want Ling Xi to take action, humanity... will have to hold out for at least another year."

Plum"..."

Given the speed at which the Fourth Herrscher can destroy a continent in just a few days, let alone a year, if we don't stop her, the whole world will probably be doomed in a month.

Of course, Mei didn't say much about it, after all, only Ling Xi and Mobius could decide this matter, so...

Whether Ling Xi is really injured or not is not important. What is important is the attitude of Mobius and Ling Xi. At least... judging from the current situation, Ling Xi probably won't help this time.

Chapter 229: Art is the Nuclear Explosion Herrscher!

The capital of Xilan Island...

Everyone received the evacuation notice because the Fourth Herrscher was about to arrive!

However, after more than half a month of raging storms, airports and ports have long been paralyzed, and the city is now naturally completely congested, with various violent incidents continuing to occur...
