Life? Death? The Sixth Herrscher's Authority! / Coming Clean to the Doctor: The Sixth Herrscher's Identity!

Ling Xi nodded, then opened the wardrobe to find clothes for Seele. Actually, there wasn't much to look for, since Seele's things were all kept very neat. After taking the relic, she just needed to find a nightgown, and she was done!

After finding Seele's change of clothes, Ling Xi looked at Seele expectantly and asked, "Seele, do you want to shower together?"

"Huh? We... we'll shower together?"

Seele blushed slightly. She felt that if Ling Xi were to shower together, it would probably be more than just a simple bath.

So, Seele actually wanted to refuse, but... she wouldn't let Ling Xi leave just like that. She... hoped Ling Xi could stay tonight, because...

Anyway, I just want to keep Ling Xi here. Holding her makes me feel very safe!

"Hehe, just kidding. Seele, let me take you inside."

Seeing that Seele seemed hesitant, Ling Xi decisively chose to give up. Although she really wanted to do it, she certainly couldn't only think of herself and not consider Seele's opinion.

"Hmm..."

Suddenly, Seele tugged at Ling Xi's sleeve and whispered, "If... if Ling Xi stays tonight, then... then that's fine."

"Heh... Even if Seele hadn't said that, I would still have stayed."

Ling Xi gently stroked Seele's head, and at the same time, he spoke his true feelings. Ling Xi really intended to stay with Seele. After all, he had just taken advantage of her today, and it would be too much to leave now. So...

Ling Xi originally intended to stay and keep Seele. It wasn't that she wanted to cause any more trouble; she simply wanted to be with Seele, nothing more!

"Hey-hey..."

Seele then smiled happily, opened her arms to Ling Xi, and said in a very clingy tone, "Hug me..."

"Okay, Seele..."

Ling Xi, of course, couldn't refuse. He picked Seele up from the bed and they went to the bathroom together to take a good shower and then go to bed early...

Well, that was indeed Ling Xi's initial thought, but in the bathroom... sorry, Seele was just too cute!

So, Ling Xi could only reluctantly wash Seele thoroughly, inside and out.

"Whoosh..."

At night, Ling Xi lay on Seele's bed, holding Seele in her arms. Xi'er had already fallen asleep, but Ling Xi couldn't fall asleep.

"Seele ..."

Looking at the adorable girl lying beside him, Ling Xi felt incredibly content. One of the people he once loved most had finally become his wife, but...

Based on all the evidence so far, it seems that Seele is the next Herrscher, while the Herrscher of the Previous Era had absolute control over the Will of Honkai, making any possibility of them rebelling impossible. Therefore...

What should we do in the future?

Although he had been studying topics related to genes and Honkai for the past six months, he was still far behind Mobius... no, let alone Mobius, even compared to Elysia, he was still far behind. So it was probably impossible for him to save Seele on his own.

Previously, because he possessed Soul Fragment, he had already prepared for the worst, but now...

The Soul Fragment has already been given to Dr. Mobius. Now Seele only has the Gemini Stigmata. Once Seele inevitably faces that fate, she may not leave completely, but if I want to see Seele again, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the next Soul Fragment!

Therefore, besides the final Gemini Stigmata, I must try other methods, at least... I must struggle!

Even if Seele can't be saved this time, it can still make some preparations for Himiko and Rin in the future, or even... perhaps Elysia. After all, with Dr. Mobius around, the Herrscher of the Previous Era... perhaps, are not entirely unable to change the outcome!

Okay, that's decided. Tomorrow... I'll go talk to the Doctor.

Chapter 328: Life? Death? The Power of the Sixth Herrscher!

"Hmm? Is Ling Xi going to the research institute?"

The next morning, Seele got up early as usual to prepare for breakfast, and then she heard Ling Xi talking about her plans to go to the research institute.

"Um."

Ling Xi nodded and smiled, "I have something very important to discuss with the Doctor, so I have to go."

It takes only four or five months to go from the Third Herrscher to the Fourth Herrscher, and about half a year to go from the Fourth Herrscher to the Fifth Herrscher, so...

If nothing unexpected happens, the Sixth Herrscher will most likely be released between three and six months later...

Not sufficient!

"Oh..."

Although Seele was a little disappointed, she was also very sensible and didn't say anything like forbidding Ling Xi from going, even though she knew that if she said that, Ling Xi would most likely stay.

"Hehe, why don't you just come along, Seele?"

Elysia said with a smile, "Anyway, Ling Xi, your level isn't enough to help Mobius much, and it probably won't take up much time. Why don't you take Seele with you, and leave together after you're done?"

"Of course."

Ling Xi quickly smiled and said, "I was planning to bring Seele along anyway, Seele, what do you think?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Ling Xi."

Seele had absolutely no objection to this.

After breakfast, the three of them went to the research institute together. Ling Xi then entrusted Seele to Elysia's care and planned to have a private talk with the Doctor. After all, she only dared to tell Mobius about Seele's situation, and even...

If it weren't for the matter of the Soul Fragment, he wouldn't have even planned to tell Mobius!

As for Elysia and Sakura, he trusts them, but he can't tell them about this because... Herrscher are enemies in the eyes of humans!

Perhaps only players, or those with extremely deep bonds to the Herrscher, would think of saving her. But for the vast majority of humans in this world, the Herrscher ...

They represent the enemy, and the enemy should be eliminated!

"Um?"

Soon, Ling Xi arrived at Mobius's private laboratory, where Mobius was studying samples of the Fifth Herrscher. Upon seeing Ling Xi, he laughed and said, "Why aren't you at home with Seele? What are you doing here?"

"Seele..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "I've already taken care of it. It was just yesterday."

"Yeah?"

Mobius also seemed a little curious and laughed, "To be honest, you're too slow. Given Seele's situation, you should have dealt with her half a year ago. If that were the case, Seele would now be a combatant with at least 1500HW adaptability."

Ling Xi "..."

1500HW? That's too low, too narrow-minded. Herrscher easily start at 2000HW!

"Doctor, I have something important I'd like to discuss with you."

At this moment, Ling Xi didn't have time to waste. After all, time was of the essence, and even if she had great confidence in her Doctor's abilities, it still took time.

"Oh?"

Mobius paused for a moment, then asked, "What is it?"

"Doctor, I hope we can talk somewhere else, preferably..."

Ling Xi paused for a moment, looked at Mobius seriously, and said, "A place where all signals are completely blocked, and only the two of us can hear it, such as... the Imaginary Space!"

"Heh... it seems this is indeed a very important matter!"

Seeing that Ling Xi had said so, Mobius immediately stopped what he was doing and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and come over."

"Um..."

Ling Xi nodded and silently left the laboratory.

Two minutes later, Ling Xi obtained the Space Gem from Mobius again, and then took Mobius into the Imaginary Space, where no one could eavesdrop.

"Speak, what important matter makes you so serious?"

Upon arriving in the Imaginary Space, Mobius looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity. In her memory, Ling Xi was rarely so serious, and the time she remembered her most was when Ling Xi talked to her about the Honkai of Changkong City. So...

Is this guy planning to talk to me about the next Honkai?

"It's about the Sixth Honkai Eruption and the Sixth Herrscher."

Ling Xi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Mobius: "..." As expected...

"The Sixth Herrscher, this is indeed a very important matter."

Mobius nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then tell me about the Sixth Herrscher's powers, and... information related to them!"

Through this battle against the Fifth Herrscher, Mobius gained a profound understanding of the importance of information. Although the Herrscher of Ice was indeed somewhat weak this time, knowing about Herrscher of Ice in advance was obviously a great help.

So how could Mobius not be interested in information about the next Herrscher?

"The Sixth Herrscher is the power of life and death, but I'm not entirely sure about its specific manifestation. It's probably something like... healing diseases or releasing plagues."

Ling Xi briefly explained the powers of the Sixth Herrscher, but Ling Xi knew very little about them. After all, the Sixth Divine Key, Black Abyss White Flower Black Abyss White Flower, had almost no relation to its abilities in the game or the setting, and there wasn't much information about it in the manga either!

The only powers displayed by the Sixth Herrscher are those used by Sirin to instantly heal her injuries during the Second Honkai War, and her consciousness hidden within Sirin Gem of Serenity in the Moon Shadow Arc!

Apart from that, we know almost nothing!

Because neither the Previous Era nor the current civilization has any plot or information related to the Herrscher of Death; the only information is that one page of comics!

"Life and death?"

Upon hearing this information, Mobius also fell into thought, because... the power of the Sixth Herrscher was quite different from that of the previous Herrscher. Apart from the First Herrscher Herrscher, the powers of the other four Herrscher were all related to nature!

Space, lightning, hurricanes, ice and snow, but the Sixth Herrscher... is it life and death? Is it one power or two powers?

However, just hearing these two words is enough for Mobius to roughly erase the abilities related to the Sixth Herrscher, such as what Ling Xi just mentioned... plague!

Thinking of this, Mobius's expression changed slightly, because...

Compared to natural disasters, plagues will only have a greater impact on modern civilization!

Especially... if humanity, led by that bunch of idiots at the top of the Flame-Chasing Moths, were to encounter a plague attack from the Sixth Herrscher, the consequences would be absolutely catastrophic!

Okay, now I understand why Ling Xi is so serious. Who the hell would dare not be serious when dealing with such an idiot of a higher-up? Because I can already imagine the scenario of those idiots fighting the plague!

Chapter 329: Confronting the Doctor, Revealing the Identity of the Sixth Herrscher!

"Doctor, the power possessed by the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death, perhaps shouldn't be described as life and death, but rather..."

Ling Xi thought for a moment and added, "That's a more absolute control over life, creation and decay, that's roughly it. However... as long as the other party doesn't have the ability to resurrect infinitely, I think humans should be able to destroy her very easily."

"Well, that's true, but..."

Mobius asked seriously, "What if the Herrscher of Death doesn't appear directly like the previous Herrscher, but instead appears quietly and then lurks in the human world to release a plague? I think the plague released by the Herrscher is unlikely to be something that we humans can solve, at least... in the short term."

"Hmm..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Doctor, actually..."

Ling Xi seemed to want to say something. He really wanted to tell his Doctor about Seele, but he hesitated when he got to the point. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't trust his Doctor, but he was worried that if Mobius knew Seele's identity, she might have some opinions about Seele...

"Heh, what's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me?"

Seeing Ling Xi's hesitant expression, Mobius smiled and said, "I once said that there's nothing we can't talk about, but... if it's something you feel you can't tell me, then you can choose not to!"

Mobius knew that Ling Xi was an outsider, so he also knew that there were some things Ling Xi couldn't tell him!

"I..."

Ling Xi opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to explain...

"Shh..."

Mobius pressed his finger to Ling Xi's lips and laughed, "No apologies allowed. Also, I said you can always choose to believe me. After all, we are the same kind of people, both psychologically and physiologically. We are... the same kind of people!"

Psychologically, Ling Xi supports her plans and ideas. Physiologically, the relationship between the two goes without saying, and... they are both Fused Warrior have incorporated Sasha Gene!

Therefore, from any perspective, they are the most trustworthy people for each other, without exception!

After all, the person he trusts most right now is Ling Xi, and the person Ling Xi trusts most is obviously him. Although Elysia and Sakura are also trustworthy, they always discuss things together when it comes to core secrets!

"Ah... thank you, Doctor!"

Ling Xi was about to apologize, but ultimately said thank you Seele. Indeed, since her Doctor had treated her this way, what need was there for her to hide anything? Besides... she didn't believe the Doctor would consider Seele an enemy after learning her identity, so...

"Alright, Doctor, actually compared to the previous Herrscher, the Sixth Herrscher..."

Ling Xi took a deep breath before calmly saying, "I think I should know about the identity of the Sixth Herrscher!"

"What? You know?"

Upon hearing the news, Mobius was somewhat shocked, but even more so, delighted!
