Seel's Condition Is Not Looking Good! / Protect the Best Seel!

"Fortunately, it worked."

Mobius seemed somewhat shaken, saying, "Luckily, Seele didn't unleash that energy in the end, otherwise this city would have been finished."

Thinking about this, Mobius was also very relieved. Speaking of which... at the last moment, Seele seemed to have interrupted the spell herself, and judging from the footage taken by the drone, Seele seemed to have gagged at the time. Could it be that...

Thinking about this, Mobius looked at Seele with a somewhat strange expression. Well, to put it simply...

This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! I never expected that Seele's dribbling would coincidentally save the city at the most crucial moment. This is unbelievable... Indeed, reality is even more outrageous than the plots in movies!

Chapter 344: Seele's precarious situation!

"Doctor, how is Seele doing?"

Before long, Ling Xi led everyone back to the research institute. With Klein's assistance, Mobius conducted a comprehensive examination on Seele. Among everyone, Ling Xi was clearly the most anxious one!

"Sigh, just as we guessed, Seele's condition has lasted at least six weeks."

Mobius tapped lightly, bringing up the holographic screen, and sighed somewhat helplessly, "However, the Honkai Energy that Seele unleashed earlier seems to have affected her. Seele's immune system has also been activated, resulting in a severe rejection reaction. I think..."

"The situation is not optimistic."

After Mobius finished speaking, he silently looked at Ling Xi and added, "However... perhaps from a certain perspective, this can also be considered good news."

Ling Xi: "..." What kind of good news is this...?

Well, at least from a purely rational point of view, this is indeed good news, but I am a human being, and animals have emotions. I can't be so heartless!

"I never imagined that so many things would happen to Seele..."

Elysia sighed and couldn't help but laugh, "Not to mention she's the only one among us who succeeded, the key thing is... Seele is actually the Sixth Herrscher, this is really... we've stumbled upon our own home while we were watching the drama unfold."

"Yes, I never expected that Sister Seele would actually..."

Sakura opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she chose to remain silent, because everyone could see that the situation was very complicated!

"Sigh, no wonder Ling Xi, you told me back then that you were going to subdue the Herrscher this time, you..."

Elysia looked at Ling Xi silently and asked, "You probably already knew about Seele's identity, didn't you?"

"Um."

Ling Xi didn't deny it, nodding slightly. "But that's why I want to try to change all of this. At least... the Herrscher are not invincible."

"Doctor, can we use the method you mentioned before now?"

Ling Xi looked directly at Mobius, after all, the Sixth Herrscher had been fully born at this time. Although the Honkai of Honkai was interrupted, Seele at this time was undoubtedly the Sixth Herrscher, a complete Herrscher with the Herrscher Core!

"I'm afraid that's not possible now."

Mobius shook his head slightly. "Because performing such surgery requires a lot of preparation, and one must have an absolute understanding of Seele's Herrscher Core. In addition... through my recent testing, I discovered that the Herrscher Core is already linked to Seele's consciousness. If it were forcibly removed, it would be almost equivalent to taking Seele's life, so..."

"The initial plan is no longer feasible. Now, we must find another way, or transfer the Herrscher consciousness to another core. But the most difficult thing now is how to transfer or destroy the Herrscher consciousness."

"How much longer will it take?"

Ling Xi didn't know much about these things, so she could only ask Mobius.

"I can't give a definite answer, but..."

Mobius thought for a moment before cautiously saying, "I think that unless there's a technological explosion or we find alien technology, at our current pace, it will take at least one or two months."

"One or two months..."

Hearing this answer, Ling Xi was speechless. If the Sixth Herrscher had appeared as planned, then Mobius would obviously have had enough time, but...

To everyone's surprise, the Sixth Herrscher appeared less than seven weeks after the Fifth Herrscher's death, which completely disrupted their plans and caught them off guard!

"Doctor, headquarters has already lodged several strong protests."

At this moment, Klein suddenly spoke up, saying, "He demands that we hand over the Sixth Herrscher, or share the research permissions for the Sixth Herrscher."

"Are you kidding me?"

Before Mobius could answer, Ling Xi became displeased. Hand over Seele? That seemed impossible.

"Why."

Mobius sighed, "There's nothing we can do. The commotion Seele caused this time was too great. The news that Seele is the Sixth Herrscher was made public immediately, and now almost the whole world knows about the Sixth Herrscher's identity."

"Yes."

Elysia nodded silently and snorted, "I don't know why, we were just shopping when the Honkai suddenly appeared, and then Seele inexplicably became Herrscher. By the way... has the damage Seele caused this time been tallied?"

"The statistics have already been compiled!"

Klein checked the data and said, "This Honkai 3rd has resulted in approximately 37 deaths, 20 missing persons, and over 300 injuries. The direct and indirect economic losses have reached three billion, however..."

As he spoke, Klein swiped the holographic screen, which displayed the damage caused by the other Herrscher.

The number one is naturally the Herrscher of Wind, who caused a loss of 200 million people and incalculable economic losses, affecting almost the entire Oceania!

Secondly, the Herrscher of Thunder caused the loss of six million people and economic losses of sixty trillion.

Next came the Herrscher of Ice. Although preparations had been made in advance, some stubborn individuals remained, resulting in a loss of over a thousand people and economic losses exceeding one trillion.

After that, the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Reason did not cause much damage!

Anyway, if we disregard destructive power, the damage caused by a single round is actually the least for the Sixth Herrscher, although... this is only the first time this data has appeared!

"Doctor, how should we reply to them?"

Upon receiving another communication from headquarters, Klein glanced at Mobius.

"Reply..."

Mobius stroked his chin and chuckled, "Just say that the Sixth Herrscher is now completely under our control and will no longer pose a threat to humanity. I plan to conduct live research on the Herrscher, and once the research is complete, I will share the research data with headquarters. Finally... in my personal capacity, I will compensate for the economic losses caused by the Sixth Herrscher!"

Clearly, Mobius would never accept handing over Seele or sharing the right to research Seele; in fact, Mobius wouldn't even give them the opportunity to have contact with Seele.

But a direct, unjustified refusal will only give them an excuse to cause trouble, therefore...

Mobius then made up an excuse, saying that he had taken control of the Sixth Herrscher. In this way, he could detain Seele under the guise of scientific research without harming Seele life, since the value of a living Herrscher was obviously many times higher than that of Herrscher corpse.

Besides, I never said I wanted to keep it all to myself. Didn't I say I would share the research data? Using this reason, even if headquarters felt something was wrong, they had no reason to refute it.

As for when the research will end, that depends on fate.

Chapter 345: Protecting the Best Seele!

"Anyway, Klein, just reply to them like this!"

After saying that, Mobius waved his hand, indicating that Klein could go and reply.

"Understood, Doctor..."

Klein also thought this reply made a lot of sense, after all, it was impossible to hand over Seele no matter how you looked at it.

"Doctor!"

Ling Xi was relatively satisfied with Mobius's attitude and continued to ask, "What is Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability at this moment?"

"Around 1800 HW!"

Mobius said without hesitation, "It seems that because of the Herrscher Core, Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability has increased a lot. And judging from the current situation, if Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability reaches 2000HW again, then the Herrscher consciousness will probably reappear."

"2000?"

Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, 2000 HW was the standard Honkai Energy intensity for Herrscher, and also the basic intensity required for the Herrscher's body to re-condense its Herrscher Core. Therefore...

Even though the existence of the Herrscher consciousness has been temporarily suppressed, as long as Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability reaches 2000HW again, Seele will most likely have to become Herrscher again.

"In short, since we don't currently know the extent of Seele's Honkai Energy amplification, therefore..."

Mobius said quietly, "After Seele wakes up, try to keep her emotions stable as much as possible, especially make sure she doesn't feel any danger, and completely forbid Seele from using any Honkai Energy, because this could very likely reawaken the Herrscher consciousness. As for Seele's stomach..."

Mobius hesitated for a moment, then finally said to Ling Xi, "You should tell her about this yourself."

Ling Xi "..."

"Yes, I understand, Doctor."

Ling Xi nodded seriously to show that she understood. Indeed, she was the only one who was suitable for this task.

"That's settled then. I'll go do the experiment now. Call me if you have any questions."

After saying that, Mobius didn't waste any more time and decisively returned to the laboratory to continue her research. After all, the Herrscher of Death had appeared, and the previous plan could no longer be implemented, so she had to hurry up and come up with a new plan.

Seele didn't wake up until 10 p. m.

"Seele?"

Ling Xi, who had been by Seele's side, looked at her gently when she saw Seele open her eyes. Of course, there was also a hint of wariness in her eyes, because Ling Xi was really afraid that it was not Seele who had awakened, but the Herrscher!

"Ling Xi ..."

Upon seeing Ling Xi, a flood of memories rushed through Seele's mind, because when he awakened his Herrscher consciousness, her own consciousness was also awake, so...

"I'm sorry, Ling Xi, I..."

Seele still remembers what she did: attacking Elysia, summoning Honkai Beast, attacking the city, attacking Ling Xi, and finally... even thinking of destroying the entire city!

Although this was not her own conscious thought, Seele was very clear that the Sixth Herrscher... was herself!

"Hoo... This isn't your fault, Seele."

Hearing Seele's words, Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was indeed Seele who had woken up. However, based on Seele's answer, Ling Xi guessed something. Obviously, Seele knew everything that had happened today.

However, it is obviously unreasonable to say that this is Seele's fault. After all, although the Herrscher consciousness and Seele's consciousness can be regarded as the same person, they are not the same person. As for the behavior of the Herrscher consciousness, it must be caused by the influence of the Will of Honkai.

"Feel sorry..."

Seele simply lowered her head silently and whispered an apology.

"Oh..."

Ling Xi just smiled, then gently hugged Seele and whispered, "I told you, it wasn't your fault. It's good that you're... alright."

"Then what will I do in the future?"

Seele looked somewhat worried, because she was very confused and didn't know what to do in the future. Anyway... the promise she made with Ling Xi back then was probably impossible to keep. After all, she was Herrscher, and when the Herrscher's consciousness took over her body, she couldn't do anything but watch helplessly as the Herrscher used her body to destroy the city!

However, Seele also knew very well that even with her Herrscher power, she was no match for Ling Xi, and...

If I can't control it in the end, then my final fate will probably be the same as those previous Herrscher: to be completely killed.

"The Doctor will have a solution."

Ling Xi smiled casually, "Don't forget our Dr. Mobius. She is the world's strongest scientist. Believe me, give the Doctor some more time, and she will be able to come up with a solution. At that time... Seele will still be Seele."

"But..."

Seele lowered her head slightly and said softly, "I don't know when it will happen again..."

At this point, Seele was also hesitant to speak, because she was really afraid of becoming like she was today again. Only those who have experienced it can understand how powerless they are when they become Herrscher again. They really can't do anything!

"I told you, the Doctor will have a solution."

Ling Xi gently stroked Seele's head and smiled, "By the way, Seele, you must be hungry now, right? What would you like to eat?"

In order to stop Seele from continuing to talk about the Herrscher, Ling Xi decisively chose to change the subject, such as what to eat tonight, since it was already 10 p. m. and Seele must be very hungry.

"Mmm..."

Seeing that Ling Xi didn't seem to want to talk about this anymore, Seele obediently nodded and smiled, "Then... let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Okay, sure."

Ling Xi naturally didn't refuse, since the research institute's cafeteria served food 24 hours a day, and the taste was just as good as the food in restaurants outside, not to mention it was free.

There weren't many people in the cafeteria at this time, but there were still a few people eating. What was different from usual was that today, the way others looked at Seele was a little strange. There was wariness, sympathy, and even a faint sense of disgust.

There's no way around it, the Honkai Impact 3rd Honkai this afternoon was just too big a mess, and Seele's identity has naturally been completely exposed long ago, at least...

Right now, probably no one in the entire research institute is unaware of the Sixth Herrscher's identity!

"Um, Ling Xi..."

Seele could feel the gazes around her, so she quietly tugged at Ling Xi's sleeve and whispered, "Let's... pack up and go."

"We're not leaving, we're eating here!"

Ling Xi refused outright, decisively pulling Seele to sit down, and said with a smile, "Let's eat ours!"

"Mmm... uh!"
