Beyond the Herrschers: A New Body for a New Era! / What If You Use the Core's Power Without Limit?

Ling Xi "..."

"Alright, Elysia, stop teasing him."

Mobius, who had been watching from the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore and smiled at Ling Xi, "Ling Xi, you don't need to worry. Your current state is only temporary. After all, your Honkai Energy is constantly recovering, and as the Honkai Energy recovers, your body will slowly return to its original state. That photo that Elysia took..."

After a moment's thought, Mobius said, "It was filmed about two weeks ago. At this rate, you should be able to return to your original state in less than a week."

That's why I said it's a pity.

Elysia gently hugged Ling Xi, "If only you could always be like this, a little brother I could cuddle, hug, and use, just thinking about it is so awesome..."

Ling Xi: "???" Can... it be used? Holy crap, Miss Fairy, isn't your cornering speed a bit too fast?

Forget it, at least after hearing Mobius's explanation, I don't have to worry about not being able to turn back anymore. If I really couldn't turn back, then...

Hmm, that seems pretty good too. After all, children have an advantage in many interactions.

Moreover, if... cough cough, I mean if, if I were to flirt with Ling in my current state, then even if Flame-Chasing Moths couldn't accuse me of some crime, she could only say that I was having puppy love, and at most, she could morally condemn me.

Well, of course, this is just wishful thinking.

It's a little strange being so small, but oh well, I'll be back to normal in a few days anyway...

Unwittingly, Ling Xi glanced at her Doctor again, and then suddenly remembered the Doctor she had seen in the Elysian Realm... the Doctor in the Elysian Realm...

It seems to only have the appearance of someone who was fifteen or sixteen years old at most, but the Mobius in the Elysian Realm was definitely not a memory left from when he was fifteen or sixteen. If he was still wondering about this before, now...

It seems there's only one truth...

Chapter 250: Beyond the Herrscher, a Body Bidding Farewell to the Old and Welcoming the New!

"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat."

Seeing Ling Xi looking at him, Mobius said with a smile, "You'll need to have a medical check-up after you finish eating. After all, this new technology is being used for the first time, so we'll need to monitor you for several weeks or even months afterward."

"Yes, I understand, Doctor..."

Ling Xi nodded silently, then picked up her bowl and chopsticks to start eating. After all, she hadn't eaten for a month, even though she had been receiving intravenous nutrition...

Food always tastes better when it tastes good.

Since Elysia had already eaten, she spent the whole time serving Ling Xi food and water, and occasionally even wiping her mouth.

Ling Xi naturally wouldn't resist, and...

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but my appetite seems to have increased a lot. After all, the three of us would never be able to finish all the food on the table, but this time... we actually finished it all.

Perhaps it's because I haven't eaten for too long.

After lunch, Ling Xi followed Mobius back to the laboratory. Of course, Elysia came along too, since they hadn't seen each other for so long and she really wanted to spend time with Ling Xi.

"Hey? Isn't this Ling Xi?"

"Wow, it really is Ling Xi!"

As soon as they entered the laboratory hall, Danzhu and Cangxuan came over. They already knew about Ling Xi's awakening and the changes in Ling Xi, so they were not surprised at all when they saw Ling Xi at this moment.

Upon seeing Ling Xi, the two immediately embraced Ling Xi, their faces full of affection. They patted her head and pinched her Ling Xi from time to time, unable to help but sigh.

"Wow, she's definitely cuter like this..."

"My sister is right, but we all have to grow up eventually..."

Ling Xi: "..." I mean, have you two gotten a little too cocky lately?

Although I have indeed shrunk temporarily, it is only temporary. I am still an adult, okay?

"Ling Xi, now you should be okay calling me 'senior sister,' right? Come on... say it for me..."

Danzhu looked at Ling Xi expectantly. For some reason, seeing Ling Xi in this state made her want to hug him uncontrollably!

"Danzhu..."

Cangxuan glared sternly at Danzhu, then looked at Ling Xi and smiled gently, "Ling Xi, you can just call me sister."

Ling Xi "..."

"Alright, you two stop fooling around. I still need to take Ling Xi to collect data."

Seeing the two's behavior, Mobius didn't seem to mind at all, and said with a smile, "You'll have time after the test is over, so don't bother Ling Xi for now."

"Yes, Doctor!"

"Doctor, we have completed the debugging of the equipment in the testing room and can start testing at any time."

Upon hearing Mobius's words, the two quickly nodded to show they understood, reluctantly letting go of Ling Xi, but still saying things like they would play together later.

"Doctor ..."

At that moment, Klein also came out of a laboratory, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

"You're here, Klein. Perfect timing, help me with a test!"

Seeing Klein there, Mobius was quite happy. After all, how could a laboratory be without Klein, the most useful... cough cough, the most outstanding assistant?

"No problem, Doctor."

Klein nodded expressionlessly, then glanced at Ling Xi, as if he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong, Klein?"

Seeing Klein's expression, Ling Xi asked him this question out of curiosity.

"Ugh..."

Ultimately, Klein couldn't suppress his desire any longer. He silently walked up to Ling Xi, and then...

He reached out and pulled Ling Xi's head to his chest, smiling with obvious enjoyment, "So cute..."

Ling Xi: "..." I mean...

Seeing Klein's behavior, Mobius wasn't angry. What could he do? His husband was just too adorable.

To be honest, I really hope that Ling Xi can stay in this state. After all, just as Elysia said before, who wouldn't like a cute little one who can be hugged, cuddled, and used?

Of course, the only problem is that when the Flame-Chasing Moths military police take me away, I don't know if the judge will listen to my excuses... oops, explanations!

"Klein, Ling Xi, let's go!"

Mobius ignored the two men and silently walked toward the testing room.

After all, the new research institute is quite large, so its facilities are naturally much more complete than those in the Changkong City laboratory!

Soon, the group arrived at the testing room. Ling Xi was already very familiar with the medical examination procedures. She lay down as if nothing was wrong, letting the Doctor draw blood and take hair samples, and finally...

"Ling Xi!"

Mobius pointed to a sealed experimental chamber and said, "This is the Honkai Energy detection device that I asked Mebius to make a few days ago. After you go in, try to activate all of your own Honkai Energy without using the Herrscher Core power, understand?"

"Clear."

Ling Xi made an OK sign, then walked directly to the hatch, which was immediately closed and sealed completely to isolate Honkai Energy.

Subsequently, Ling Xi activated her Aslaug Stigmata and unleashed her full Honkai Energy...

"Holy crap..."

Immediately, Mobius was looking at the data outside, couldn't help but swear.

"Mobius, swearing isn't like you."

Elysia also joined in, and while complaining, she looked at the screen and snorted, "It's just Ling Xi's data, let me see just how... holy crap!"

Klein "..."

Klein also glanced at the data silently. Although he was also very surprised, he wasn't as surprised as Elysia and his Doctor. He quickly recorded the data...

"Mobius, I remember the standard Honkai Energy for Herrscher... it should be 2000 hw, right?"

Looking at the data in front of her, Elysia was somewhat dumbfounded and asked Mobius beside her.

"Um..."

Mobius nodded silently and said, "Although this is not an absolute value, 2000hw is considered the critical point for the birth of Herrscher. Exceeding this value may result in the birth of Herrscher, but if it does not exceed this value, a Herrscher will definitely not be born."

"So..."

Elysia glanced at the data again and asked, "Do you think Ling Xi is Herrscher now?"

Mobius "..."

Mobius glanced at the data again, and after confirming that he wasn't seeing things, he shook his head slightly and said, "How should I know..."

Meanwhile, Klein wrote down a data point in his notebook: [Ling Xi Honkai Energy Preliminary Activation Detection, Energy Level: 2300HW!]

Chapter 251: If the power of the core is used indefinitely.

After seeing the Honkai Energy data obtained from Ling Xi, the three of them were somewhat shocked, because it was really a bit exaggerated.

After all, when Ling Xi uses the Herrscher Core, which is to say, when using Honkai Energy exceeding 2000 HW, his body will suffer a backlash because it cannot withstand the erosion of the Great Honkai energy. This is why Ling Xi cannot use the Herrscher Core at will!

However, now, Ling Xi alone can release Honkai Energy of up to 2300HW, which exceeds the standard value of 2000HW for Herrscher Core. So here's the question.

In this situation, if Ling Xi uses the Herrscher Core again, will her body still suffer a backlash?

So, Mobius handed Ling Xi's blood sample to the twins, and then took Ling Xi to the training ground for a new test...

"Ling Xi!"

Upon arriving at the training ground, Mobius pointed to the ten automated targets in front of him and said, "Use the Honkai Energy under your control to unleash your strongest attack."

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Doctor, I think... my strongest attack could probably destroy the entire research institute..."

Mobius "..."

"Cough cough!"

Mobius quickly coughed and said, "Then let's do it this way. Try to fully activate the Honkai Energy, but when releasing the attack, keep it within ten meters of the destructive force!"

OK!

Ling Xi snapped his fingers, and a fireball hurtled towards the automatic target. A crimson mushroom cloud of fire rose up, and the metal targets within the target area showed signs of melting...

Mobius: "..." Damn, this is way too exaggerated!

Mobius gave Ling Xi a look as if she were a monster, then quickly joined Klein in examining Ling Xi's physical condition. And the results...

Ling Xi's body was perfectly normal, showing absolutely no signs of being infected by Honkai Energy.

"Ling Xi, try activating a Herrscher Core!"

After a moment's thought, Mobius decided to test the Herrscher Core's effect on Ling Xi again, since Ling Xi now possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities, so...

Even if Ling Xi still cannot withstand the backlash from the Herrscher Core, he can recover on his own!

Furthermore, Ling Xi already possesses 2300HW of Honkai Energy, so... Ling Xi shouldn't suffer any backlash from Herrscher Core with a standard value of 2000HW.

"Good!"

Ling Xi did not refuse and directly activated the Space Gem within his body. Of course, this time Ling Xi did not directly enter the Herrscher form. After all, if he directly entered the Herrscher form, it would release Great Honkai energy, and then his two wives and senior sister would probably all be doomed.

Therefore, although Ling Xi activated the Herrscher Core, she also confined all the Honkai Energy around her body, preventing it from spreading outwards!

"Ling Xi, how are you feeling?"

Mobius quickly asked Ling Xi, "Are you feeling unwell or in any discomfort?"

"Absolutely not."

Ling Xi shook her head slightly and smiled, "On the contrary, I feel very refreshed, and this power... feels like using my own power, completely at will, just like... this!"

"Smack!"

Ling Xi snapped his fingers, and the Spatial Shock was released instantly. In Kiana, hundreds of automatic targets in the training field, along with the ground, cracked apart.

Yes, the physical kind of cracking!

Mobius: "..." I was testing it, but I didn't ask you to cause trouble. This training ground has only been in use for less than two months...

"Klein!"

However, Mobius was too lazy to complain about the issue at this point. After Ling Xi ended her Herrscher state, he quickly called out to Klein, as usual, checked Ling Xi's physical condition and said, "Doctor, everything is normal. There are no signs of Honkai Energy erosion!"
