The Battle in the Bathhouse!

The power ceiling brought by the two may be comparable, but the inheritance effect of the Stigmata Gene is far superior to that of the Hypervariable Factor!

It's a pity that humanity doesn't have the time to slowly research the Stigmata Gene. Compared to future potential, humanity should obviously focus on preserving its current existence. It's like playing a mobile game and choosing five late-game heroes; even if they might be invincible in the late game, but...

Are you sure you can survive until the late game? I'm afraid you'll lose all your outer towers in three minutes, your high ground will be completely destroyed in five minutes, and you'll surrender in six minutes...

"Doctor."

Ling Xi gently squeezed Mobius's hand and smiled, "The future of the Hypervariable Factor is no worse than that of the Stigmata Gene."

Ling Xi could roughly guess what Mobius was thinking, but to be honest, the Hypervariable Factor was really no weaker than the Stigmata, although... the Stigmata of the post-civilization was not a complete Stigmata, after all, Doctor Mobius of the Previous Era had not finished making the world before it was gone!

However, even in the entire post-civilization era, Ancestor Kevin An-Utu was still a top-tier combat force!

Therefore, whether the true power of the Stigmata is stronger or weaker than the Hypervariable Factor is probably still inconclusive!

Just like mages and warriors, there may be a counter between them, but who can say for sure who is stronger or weaker?

"I know..."

Mobius smiled and glanced at Ling Xi, saying, "I never give up on my research easily, and for humanity at this stage, the Hypervariable Factor is the most practical. After all, you can't provide me with perfect Stigmata Gene bulk, and..."

Finally, Mobius curled his lip and snorted, "Sakura, Elysia, even Seele have them, and they were the first to have them, but... humph!"

Ling Xi: "..." It seems the Doctor is still angry about this...

However, I still want to say that what I get in the draw is not something I can decide!

"Elysia, how are you feeling?"

Mobius ignored Ling Xi and began to inquire about Elysia's condition!

"Everything is normal."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "In fact... I feel that I've never been in a more normal situation than I am now."

"Yeah..."

Mobius nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Klein was silently making notes: the perfect Stigmata Gene, so far... has not shown any side effects.

"How about we try out the new strength at the training ground?"

Since Elysia is in good condition, Mobius has other ideas, such as... testing Elysia's current combat power in actual combat!

"Hehe, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

Elysia readily agreed, or rather, she was even more eager Mobius to test her power. It was like a child getting a favorite toy or buying their first cell phone – wouldn't they want to play with it to their heart's content?

After that came the training ground test, but because Elysia's current strength was too great, she didn't dare to fully unleash her power, otherwise the research institute would definitely be destroyed.

"Come to the Imaginary Space."

Finally, Ling Xi used his spatial powers to bring everyone into the Imaginary Space, where they could then conduct tests to their heart 'Imaginary Space!

Elysia fought Sakura in reality, and unsurprisingly, Sakura couldn't even last five rounds. Even with her Kiana ability, Sakura could only barely hold out for ten rounds. There was no way around it; the difference in strength was simply too great.

Afterwards, under Mobius's arrangement, Ling Xi also accompanied Elysia for the test. The two fought for about a hundred rounds, back and forth, and Mobius obtained Elysia's physical data!

Subsequently, Mobius had Ling Xi use his full power without using the Herrscher Core. This time, Elysia was defeated by Ling Xi in thirty rounds. Of course, the main reason was that Ling Xi dared not directly attack Elysia with powerful energy, because it was very likely to kill Elysia instantly!

Therefore, Ling Xi could only defeat Elysia by blocking her route, but...

If it were a real battle, Elysia were the enemy, then Ling Xi felt that Elysia wouldn't last five rounds!

Finally, Mobius ordered Ling Xi to use all her power to fight Elysia, and this time...

"Smack!"

KO!

With a snap of his fingers, Ling Xi instantly immobilized Elysia, rendering her unable to move or even use her Honkai Energy!

Mobius: "..." Well, it seems that even with Honkai Energy comparable to that of Herrscher, it's still far from the true Herrscher Authority...

"Ugh, I'm exhausted..."

In the evening, Ling Xi helped Elysia back home, and she immediately collapsed onto the sofa.

There was no other way; after fusing the Stigmata Gene, Mobius relentlessly studied Elysia for an entire day, conducting numerous tests. Elysia swore that even spending time with Ling Xi hadn't been this tiring, and...

The battle with Ling Xi before was the battle when Ling Xi used the Herrscher Core. I really didn't have a chance to struggle at all. And with such powerful strength, when facing Herrscher, I can only say that it was a 50/50 situation.

This is enough to show my current strength...

Still far inferior to the Herrscher!

Of course, Ling Xi is definitely stronger now than Ling Xi three months ago. After all, Ling Xi has perfectly fused with Sasha Gene. To be honest, if Ling Xi were to face Herrscher now, whether it's the Third Herrscher or the Fourth Herrscher, she would probably win very easily!

"Thank you for your hard work, Elysia..."

Ling Xi smiled and brought Elysia her favorite drink, while gently massaging her shoulders, saying with a smile, "It's just that I'm a little tired today. Starting tomorrow, you can have a good rest again."

"Have a good rest?"

Elysia laughed irritably, "Don't I have to keep you company, you idiot? How can I get some rest?"

"It doesn't concern me."

Ling Xi shook her head slightly and smiled, "After all, Sakura is still here, so if you feel tired, Elysia, you can indeed take a good rest."

"No way!"

Elysia snorted irritably, "What? Because you have Sakura, you now think it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not, so you're starting to dislike me?"

"No way..."

Ling Xi was both amused and exasperated, and said, "I was just worried you might get tired, that's why I asked if you wanted to rest. If you don't want to rest, of course I won't refuse."

"Hmph..."

Hearing Ling Xi's explanation, Elysia finally smiled with satisfaction. Although she knew very well that Ling Xi didn't mean it that way, she just liked teasing Ling Xi!

"Then let's not rest..."

Elysia stretched and chuckled, "After all... we still have to cooperate with Mobius's experiments, for example..."

As she spoke, Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a mischievous grin and whispered, "Let's see if the Honkai Energy Adaptability can be increased. This is... part of the Doctor's plan!"

Ling Xi: "..." What the hell is this part of the plan...?

Since Mobius Möbius's lab, I don't think I've seen any serious plans.

Chapter 302: The Battle of the Bathhouse!

"Elysia, your strength is just too much right now..."

"It's alright, but that's thanks to the Stigmata. If you used the Stigmata, you'd probably surpass me in no time."

That evening, Elysia and Sakura sat together in the bathtub, chatting as they soaked.

"Then let's forget about it. I don't need to become too strong right now, and besides..."

Sakura smiled helplessly, "Dr. Mobius's control experiment is still ongoing. If I disrupt the Doctor's plan, it will be a very troublesome matter."

"Hehe, Sakura, you could try a little harder, okay?"

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, I only gained less than 800 Honkai Energy Adaptability. But at the pace we did last time, we can gain 800 HW of adaptability in a month."

Cherry"..."

"No, I'm too tired..."

Sakura shook her head decisively and said, "However, my vacation is over. Starting the day after tomorrow, I will have to go to the research institute during the day. In a week, let alone 200, getting 100 would be a very good result."

"Hehe, a month from now, you'll be even further behind me..."

Elysia's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a wicked smile, "As soon as you leave, I'll have Ling Xi all to myself. Once my Honkai Energy Adaptability exceeds 2000HW, that will be the Honkai Energy Adaptability of a normal Herrscher."

Cherry"..."

Sakura didn't refute this, nor did she want to. After all... at this point, she was no longer thinking about surpassing Elysia. Before the implantation of the Stigmata Gene, that was probably impossible, so...

Just lie down and wait until Dr. Mobius's control experiment is over, then I'll be able to have the Stigmata Gene implanted, and then I'll be...

It's definitely no weaker Elysia!

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly, the bathroom door rang.

Elysia and Sakura both looked towards the door with some confusion.

"Ahem, you two, would you mind sharing a pool?"

It was Ling Xi's voice coming from outside the door...

"Roll!"

"I mind very much!"

The two refused almost simultaneously, because if they let this guy in, they wouldn't be able to take a peaceful shower anymore.

"OK!"

Ling Xi could only nod silently, then walked straight in...

Elysia "..."

Cherry"..."

After that, Ling Xi fought with the two of them. It was like two dragons playing with a pearl, two dragons emerging from the sea, a tiger killing two sheep, and a tornado destroying the parking lot!

"Hmm, 1365HW, I didn't expect it could actually increase..."

The next day, in Mobius's adaptation room, she was recording Elysia's new data and couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong? Is it because you were too tired from yesterday's test that you want to rest after only two tests?"

"No, it was definitely five times..."

Elysia shrugged and said with some curiosity, "Logically speaking, my enhancement should be around 12 to 15 HW, but I didn't expect it to only be 5 HW!"

"Is that so..."

After listening to Elysia's words, Mobius thought for a moment and smiled, "It seems that the method of having Ling Xi help enhance Honkai Energy Adaptability does have an upper limit. I think... once your Honkai Energy Adaptability increases a bit more, Ling Xi probably won't be able to help you enhance Honkai Energy Adaptability anymore."

Let's talk about the future later.

Elysia stretched and chuckled as she sipped the coffee Klein had brewed for her. "I'd better take advantage of the fact that I can still enhance Honkai Energy Adaptability now and increase it as much as possible. Otherwise, it'll be too late to regret it when I can't increase it anymore."

"But your current strength is already powerful enough."

Mobius also laughed and said, "The direct power and inherited power that the Stigmata gave you are enough to guarantee that you are now the number one person after Ling Xi. Even if you were to face the Third Herrscher back then, I guess you would still be... well, okay, probably get instantly killed."

Elysia "..."

"Don't worry, I'm making fast progress with the Hypervariable Factor. It's similar to the Stigmata Gene. I've already started researching the Hypervariable Factor for Judgment-class Honkai Beast."

Mobius continued with a laugh, "Shesha's actual combat strength is estimated to be below the Judgment-class, at most at the Emperor-class T0 level, but its resurrection and healing abilities are enough to place it on par with Judgment-class Honkai Beast, so..."

"Comparatively speaking, Shesha's Hypervariable Factor is still the most suitable Judgment-class Honkai Beast for us to start with!"

"Judgment-class Honkai Beast..."

Elysia was also pondering silently, then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, before Ling Xi fused with Shesha, her Honkai Energy Adaptability was around 1300, but after the fusion, it jumped to 2300 HW. So..."

Elysia asked with some anticipation, "If I could also fuse with Shesha's genes, would my Honkai Energy Adaptability surpass Ling Xi's?"

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible."

Mobius pursed his lips and said, "Ling Xi isn't even human, or... let me ask you, if Ling Xi had undergone that surgery back then, and you were still in your current state, do you think you could have survived?"

"Eh..."

Elysia hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "I think... probably not."

"It's not that it shouldn't be possible, it's that it definitely can't be!"

Mobius shrugged and said seriously, "Ling Xi is different from us. His physique has extremely strong resistance to Honkai Energy, and he can also control the power of the Herrscher Core. These are things that we cannot do, so... I guess only that Ling Xi can accept Sasha Gene in a fully activated state."

"Ugh..."

Elysia pouted and asked, "Then when can I have the Hypervariable Surgery?"
