Honkai Beast Genes and Fusion Warriors! / The So-Called Power of Infinity!

"Really..."

Hearing this answer, Mobius breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly at Ling Xi, "Ling Xi, it seems that you no longer need to worry about the backlash from using Herrscher power."

"Wow, is it that amazing?"

Hearing his Doctor's words, Ling Xi looked at his hands in surprise. He could only say that he was indeed Fused Warrior and was able to withstand the backlash from the Herrscher Core.

If this were given to Old Yang during the Second Honkai War, Old Yang probably would have killed Sirin on the spot.

In short, no matter what, I'm completely transformed now. After all, I can use the power of the Herrscher Core without worrying about side effects at will. It feels...

From now on, aside from a certain constraint that I don't know how to resolve and the final Finality, I should be able to fight against all the Herrscher.

Of course, even if that's the case, I absolutely cannot get arrogant. After all, whether it's the post-civilization pufferfish or the Wind Law that was only eliminated a month ago, they are both cautionary tales of arrogance!

"Ling Xi, the test should have ended at this point, but..."

Just then, Mobius looked at Ling Xi, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitant to speak.

"Please speak freely, Doctor."

Ling Xi smiled and looked at Mobius, saying, "Given our relationship, what can't we say to each other?"

"Hehe... that's true."

Mobius smiled. He had been worried that mentioning this might cause Ling Xi to misunderstand, since his upcoming test was indeed a little dangerous for Ling Xi.

However, after hearing Ling Xi's words, Mobius understood that Ling Xi was still the same Ling Xi. Even though her body had changed, Ling Xi was still Ling Xi, without any alteration.

"So, what kind of test does the Doctor plan to have me undergo?"

As she spoke, Ling Xi looked at her Doctor with curiosity, seemingly eager to know what kind of test Mobius was planning to conduct.

"Actually, it's still a test of the Herrscher Core."

Having made his decision, Mobius no longer hesitated and said directly, "However, testing with one Herrscher Core is within the safe range, which I anticipated. But... I want you to test the state of two Herrscher Core being activated at the same time, which may cause some damage to your body."

"But you don't need to worry, because your body's recovery ability is extremely strong now, so..."

Mobius shrugged and chuckled, "Even if it causes a backlash on your body, I think it should recover on its own. The purpose of this test is to verify whether my guess is correct. What do you think, Ling Xi?"

"Of course I have no problem with it!"

Ling Xi nodded in agreement almost without hesitation, and then asked with a somewhat impatient smile, "Doctor, shall we start the test now? Is there anything I need to do?"

"You don't need to do anything, just activate both Herrscher Core simultaneously, and leave the rest to us..."

The purpose this time was merely a test, so Mobius naturally didn't want to cause too much backlash on Ling Xi's body, so...

All you need to do is let Ling Xi's body suffer a little backlash, and then test whether Ling Xi's body will recover on its own. If the answer is YES, then the meaning behind this is quite interesting.

Chapter 252: Hypervariable Factor and Fused Warrior!

After the experiment was prepared, Ling Xi activated both the Desire Gem and the Space Gem, and then sat about five meters away from Mobius to wait for the experiment to end.

Of course, with Miss Fairy around, there's no way there will be an awkward silence, not in this lifetime. Even during the experiment, when Elysia couldn't get close to Ling Xi, she still chatted with Ling Xi...

"Oh, Ling Xi, I really envy your great power. I wish I were that strong too."

Looking at Ling Xi's current situation, Elysia couldn't possibly be jealous, but she was genuinely envious. After all, being so powerful, even if she didn't necessarily have to do anything, just felt really cool.

However, thinking that even the powerful Ling Xi was still suppressed by him on many occasions, he felt very proud. Ling Xi, who couldn't even defeat the Herrscher of Wind, still had to submit to him!

"Heh, don't worry, Elysia, with your talent, you'll definitely be no worse than me in the future."

Ling Xi smiled at Elysia's words. Just kidding. Even though Miss Fairy is now my wife, she's still Miss Fairy. Elysia is second only to Kevin among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers!

I haven't seen this girl's strength firsthand, but she's ranked this high and has all the Flame-Chasing Moths admire her. Do you think her fighting power is weak?

Of course, she is far inferior to me now, and I could even destroy her with a single thought, since Elysia is just an ordinary human at this time.

"Wow, I almost believed what you said myself..."

Elysia pouted and snorted, "But you don't need to comfort me. I know my own level. Besides... what's yours is mine, so..."

Elysia pointed her right index finger at Ling Xi and laughed, "Your power is my power. You're so powerful, it's like I'm just as powerful."

Ling Xi "..."

"Elysia".

In response to Elysia's words, Ling Xi shook her head and laughed, "I wasn't joking just now. After all, don't you know very well how I became like this?"

"This..."

Elysia hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true, but... implanting Honkai Beast genes requires extremely strong Honkai Energy Adaptability, and... so far, including animal experiments, you're the only successful case. You want me to do this surgery?"

Elysia put her hands on her hips and deliberately snorted with dissatisfaction, "I think you just want to get promoted, make money, and change wives, don't you?"

"Um?"

Mobius seemed to sense that something was amiss... Wait, he was Ling Xi's wife! This vixen, Elysia, although he had temporarily accepted her, was still a vixen after all!

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, I'm completely devoted to the Doctor!"

Ling Xi was almost startled and quickly pledged her loyalty to Dr. Mobius!

"Hehe..."

To this, Elysia simply chuckled coldly. "Single-minded, huh? Your heart... isn't it a 'heart with seven orifices'?"

"..."

Mobius rolled his eyes at Ling Xi, saying, "Putting aside Elysia's problem for now, explain Seele's matter first."

"Elysia, what Ling Xi just said wasn't entirely a lie."

However, Mobius still said, "Using Honkai Beast genes to evolve humans was originally part of the plan, but so far, of all the experimental subjects, only Ling Xi, who has extremely strong Honkai Energy resistance, has succeeded, so..."

"The Honkai Beast genes still need to be improved, more gene editing needs to be done, and more Honkai Beast instincts need to be suppressed. Only when this is done can there be a possibility of large-scale or even nationwide vaccination!"

Ling Xi: "..." When the Doctor was talking about himself just now, did he also say the words "experimental subject"?

Okay, let me introduce myself again. My name is Ling Xi, and I'm a zombie... cough cough, an assistant at the Mobius Institute. My job is to be researched...

"That's true..."

Elysia nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, judging from the changes that occurred after Ling Xi's surgery, anyone else would have passed away peacefully, just like those Ling Xi rats!

Therefore, this evolutionary method is currently only suitable for Ling Xi. As for others... let alone editing their genes to the point where ordinary people can receive this kind of surgery, even to the point where they themselves can receive it, they probably still have a long way to go.

"It's okay, take your time. I believe the Doctor will definitely succeed."

Ling Xi nodded silently. After all, the Hypervariable Surgery was technology from at least three or four years in the future, and it was only accomplished through the combined efforts of Mei and Mobius, so...

Ling Xi believed that Mobius was capable of achieving the level described in the original work, or even surpassing it; all she lacked was... a little time.

By the way, I remember in the manga, the Honkai Beast genes injected during the Hypervariable Surgery had a specific name: Hypervariable Factor!

Moreover, the biggest difference between the Hypervariable Factor and directly injecting Honkai Beast genes is...

The Hypervariable Factor is in an inactive state. It can only be activated when the Honkai Energy within the holder reaches a certain level, or under certain specific conditions. Once successfully activated and the holder survives, then...

A new Fused Warrior has appeared!

The biggest advantage of the Hypervariable Factor is that it does not allow the subjects to directly face the ferocious genes of the Honkai Beast, but rather it is a gradual process. As a result, more people will be able to withstand this kind of surgery.

Perhaps I could tell the Doctor this news. Of course, I can't directly mention the content of the comic, even though I've already come clean with the Doctor. There are still some things I can't say.

As for whether telling the Doctor this news in advance will cause a butterfly effect or something...

Please, the Fourth Herrscher appeared ahead of schedule and was killed by us. What's the point of worrying about the butterfly effect? The most important thing is to strengthen humanity's strength as soon as possible and remind the Doctor to prepare to run away!

After a brief moment of thought, Ling Xi said to Mobius, "Doctor, I have an idea. You said before that the experimental subjects failed because they couldn't withstand the Honkai Beast' berserk genes, so..."

"Could we put the Honkai Beast genes into a dormant state and then inject them into the test subject's body? In this way, the Honkai Beast genes would no longer be able to kill the host directly, and the host would have enough time to slowly adapt to the new gene molecules. When the Honkai Beast genes awaken again, perhaps we can successfully fuse with them!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing Ling Xi's words, Mobius seemed to have flipped a switch, putting her to sleep before administering the injection...

This method might actually work.

Chapter 253: The So-Called Infinite Power!

"Ling Xi ..."

After hearing Ling Xi's words, Mobius looked at Ling Xi very seriously and smiled, "You... are a genius."

"Um... no, actually it wasn't what I wanted..."

Ling Xi was also stunned for a moment, then shook her head. Genius? Actually, I'm just a transmigrator who has read the script.

"Oh?"

Seeing Ling Xi's reaction, Mobius seemed to have thought of something, but she certainly wouldn't say it in front of Elysia and Klein. She would ask Ling Xi about it in private.

"Ling Xi, time's up!"

A moment later, Klein had been checking the time, gave a reminder.

"Good!"

Ling Xi immediately cut off the power output of the Herrscher Core, instantly severing her connection with the Herrscher.

Then, Klein skillfully stepped forward and began to examine Ling Xi's physical condition. Mobius and Elysia also approached. Mobius had something to say to Ling Xi, while Elysia...

It's simply because they wanted to get closer.

"Ling Xi, how are you feeling?"

After the experiment ended, Mobius was very concerned about Ling Xi's physical condition. Although it was for the purpose of the experiment, Ling Xi had been in a dual-core activated state for five minutes, which would inevitably have some impact on Ling Xi.

"I don't feel anything."

Ling Xi shook her head slightly and smiled, "It's like... the feeling of exhaustion after exerting too much force, but it's not that serious, it's just a simple feeling."

"That means the Honkai Energy intensity of the two Herrscher Core has exceeded your tolerance."

Mobius was not surprised by this result. After all, Ling Xi's Honkai Energy intensity was only 2300HW, while a Herrscher Core was 2000HW. Although the Honkai Energy intensity of two Herrscher Core could not be simply calculated by addition, it obviously exceeded the number of 2300HW.

"Doctor, the test results are in."

At this moment, Klein also received the test results and said, "Preliminary tests show that Ling Xi's body has suffered a certain degree of Honkai Energy erosion, approximately..."

"Around 0.513%, the infection level is mild!"

"Just as I thought!"

Mobius had been prepared for this. If what he said just now was just a confident guess, then the current result is enough to prove that his guess was correct!

"Klein, prepare for the second test!"

Of course, this conjecture is only half correct at the moment. As for the other half, we'll have to wait for the results of the second test!

"Doctor, the second test results show that Ling Xi's body has been eroded by Honkai Energy to approximately 0.512%!"

Less than a minute later, Klein received the data from the second test, and this time the data showed that the Honkai Energy erosion on Ling Xi's body was slowly disappearing...

"Whoosh..."

"Hehe..."

Upon hearing this result, both Mobius and Elysia, and even Klein, laughed, because... they all knew what this meant!

Although the recovery speed is incredibly slow, it's still a slow recovery. Besides, Ling Xi can now use a single Herrscher Core without damage, so what about the future...?

It's not impossible for Ling Xi to use more Herrscher Core without any damage!

"Ling Xi!"

A moment later, Mobius smiled at Ling Xi and said, "It seems that your safe zone is one Herrscher Core, so... even if you encounter a situation where you must use Herrscher power, try to use only one core, after all..."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "Even if your body can recover, this is still the first time a genetic modification experiment has been conducted, so there are still many uncertainties. Therefore, except in necessary situations, it's best not to use Honkai Energy, okay?"

"Yes, I will try my best."

Ling Xi nodded seriously. After all, he had to listen to his wife, and his Doctor was right. The current Hypervariable Surgery was still too unstable!

So stay calm and don't get carried away!

"In addition..."

Mobius turned his head slightly and smiled at his assistant, "Klein, you are in charge of making this public, but... the content needs to be changed a little bit."

"Please speak, Doctor!"

As a dutiful assistant, Klein had already taken out his notebook, ready to record the Doctor's public statement!
