The Bishop Shed Tears of Envy! / You Say I'm Slacking Off? But Wasn't That Their Choice?

After talking with Mobius, Ling Xi went straight home, ready to go and fulfill her promise to Him!

"Um?"

However, when Ling Xi returned home, she found a familiar figure there...

"Seele?"

Upon arriving on the second floor, Ling Xi looked at the person in front of her with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Ling Xi?"

Upon seeing Ling Xi, Seele's face lit up with surprise. She quickly moved closer, grumbling, "Where did you all go? I woke up this morning to find the house empty, and all the communications were down. The roads were blocked too. Honestly..."

Ling Xi: "..." Uh, what the heck is this?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Seeing that Ling Xi didn't speak, Seele snorted, "You clearly promised to take me out to play today, but when I woke up this morning, you were gone? Were you dealing with the Herrscher of Ice again? But wasn't the Herrscher of Ice eliminated the day before yesterday? Why are there still so many things to do?"

"The day before yesterday? The Herrscher of Ice?"

Hearing this, Ling Xi was even more confused, but... she could roughly guess Seele's situation. Seele was...

"Seele!"

Ling Xi took out the Butterfly Hairpin, but didn't say anything more, just handed the butterfly hair clip to Seele!

"For me?"

Seeing what Ling Xi was holding, Seele took it without hesitation and said happily, "It looks pretty good, but it feels... like it's been used!"

Ling Xi: "..." Because it's the one you used.

However, Ling Xi now understood that this Seele was indeed Seele, but... it seemed to be the Seele from two months ago!

Chapter 353: His Excellency the Bishop shed tears of envy!

Seeing Seele standing right in front of her, Ling Xi still felt a little unreal and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Seele's cheek...

"Ouch... it hurts, you idiot, ouch!"

Seele was immediately annoyed and bit Ling Xi's hand lightly, mainly as a warning.

"Heh, well, it really is Seele..."

Ling Xi was relieved and said, "Seele, come on, let me test your Honkai Energy Adaptability."

"Hmm? Okay..."

Seele seemed a little reluctant, after all, the test would involve getting a shot, but since it was Ling Xi's word, she still had to listen!

So, Ling Xi took Seele directly to the underground laboratory and conducted a Honkai Energy Adaptability test on Seele. Unsurprisingly, the result was only 200. So it seems that this really is Seele from two months ago.

But two months ago...

Did Seele travel through time?

Ling Xi glanced at the time on her phone. Hmm... okay, it seems she didn't time travel. So, there's only one truth!

This is His power!

Looking at the lively and energetic Seele in front of her, Ling Xi still felt a little unreal. Seele was right in front of her, but she still felt that something was wrong, hmm...

Never mind, at least Seele is alright now.

If only Bishop Otto had been able to find Kallen so easily during the Second Honkai War, then... perhaps the tragedy that followed wouldn't have happened.

It seems that, compared to humans, He truly is an existence that humans cannot comprehend at all.

Finally, there is one more question, which is...

Two months ago, Seele should still be in a state of... complete restoration, and if that's the case, then Seele's...

Well, although there's a little bit of a regret, it seems like it's not so bad. This is what... twins are all about!

"Ling Xi, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing that Ling Xi seemed a little strange when she met her, Seele also looked at Ling Xi curiously.

"Hehe, it's nothing, Seele, let's go back to the research institute."

Ling Xi didn't say much. He simply took Seele's hand, activated his spatial powers, and prepared to find the Doctor to help Seele with some tests.

"The original leadership of the Flame-Chasing Moths is completely gone, and the whole world is in chaos, so the next step is the takeover..."

In the laboratory, Mobius was pondering the future of the Flame-Chasing Moths. Although those wise men had finally disappeared, Ling Xi was happy, and so was he. But there were still many things to do afterward. After all, human society couldn't function without the management of the Flame-Chasing Moths; otherwise, it might split into the state of nations it had been a hundred years ago!

Therefore, at this time, Mobius decided to temporarily let the United Nations manage world affairs, and then let the Flame-Chasing Moths -Flame-Chasing Moths.

As for the management model of the Flame-Chasing Moths, Mobius plans to abolish the council model altogether and take direct control herself. Although she has absolutely no interest in being a leader—after all, there are just too many things to do, and it's a real hassle—it would be a complete waste of her research time. But...

After being baptized by a certain Herrscher of Flame wished to remain anonymous, and after someone revealed information about the future in another parallel world, Mobius was now completely unwilling to relinquish power and absolutely could not trust politicians. He feared that after he reorganized the council, some idiots would cause trouble again. This time it was Ling Xi, and next time... could it be Sakura?

In short, in order to prevent humanity from making further mistakes, Mobius felt it was better to keep power in his own hands.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, a wormhole appeared in the laboratory...

"Um?"

As for wormholes, Mobius was already very familiar with them. After all, who else but Ling Xi could use such an ability?

But didn't this guy say he was going back to rest properly just five minutes ago? Why is he here again?

So, Mobius silently stared at the wormhole, watching Ling Xi walk out, take a sip of coffee, and was just about to ask Ling Xi what was wrong when...

"Puff..."

"Seele? What happened to you..."

However, when Mobius saw that Ling Xi was actually leading Seele out, she immediately spat out the coffee in her mouth!

What's going on? Didn't Ling Xi say before that Seele was already...? So what's the situation with this Seele? Also, if Seele is alright, why did this guy suddenly become the Seventh Herrscher?

In short, for a moment, Mobius felt his mind was a bit confused.

"Hmm? Doctor, what's wrong?"

Seele also looked puzzled. Although she hadn't seen Mobius for about half a month, it was not like he would want to wash her face with coffee as soon as they met.

Moreover, I won't say that Ling Xi looked at me strangely before, but why is Mobius looking at me strangely now?

"Ahem, Seele, wait a moment, Doctor, come with me..."

Ling Xi coughed lightly to greet Seele, then pulled Mobius into a separate room in the laboratory...

Seele: "..." Hmph, so what if you're the main wife?

In another room, Ling Xi briefly explained Seele's situation and told Mobius about what had happened on the mountaintop, including the deal she had made with Him...

Fortunately, Mobius was a top scientist, so he understood Ling Xi's explanation immediately, although he still thought it was a bit far-fetched, but...

The living, Seele was right in front of him; he couldn't help but believe it. All Mobius could say was...

So you play... cough cough, so Honkai Energy really is omnipotent!

It can even resurrect people or reverse the timeline of a target. After all, according to scientific models, reversing time would require almost all the energy in the universe. However...

For the Honkai God, it was just a matter of a snap of the fingers!

At this moment, Mobius also showed great interest in the Honkai God, after all, that kind of being... could truly be called a god!

At the same time, Mobius couldn't help but wonder if humanity... really had even the slightest chance of winning against such an existence.

Fortunately, as Ling Xi also said, the Honkai God doesn't intend to destroy humanity, but rather to test them, so...

As long as the assessment can be completed, humanity can continue to survive, and even go further!

But then again, if I had the chance, I'd really like to have a chat with Him in person, after all, He's... a legendary god!

Chapter 354: Saying I'm giving up? But wasn't this their own choice?

"Well, that's how it is, but I haven't explained it to Seele yet because I simply don't know how to explain it..."

Finally, Ling Xi silently looked at Mobius, hoping that the Doctor could help her make a decision. After all, Seele's situation was complicated. If she told Seele the truth, was she sure Seele wouldn't look at her like she was an idiot?

"Mmm..."

Mobius pondered silently for a moment, then smiled and said, "Perhaps the power of the next Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason, might be able to solve this problem."

Ling Xi "..."

"Alright, I'll take care of this for you. Also..."

Mobius looked at Ling Xi again and said, "You don't need to worry about the Herrscher of Flame, because not many people know your identity this time. Only headquarters and my research institute know, after all..."

Mobius shrugged and laughed, "This happened so fast that the matter of the Herrscher of Flame was not made public. Therefore, apart from the group of high-ranking officials who have disappeared, there are hardly any people in the world who know your identity."

"What good will knowing do?"

Ling Xi simply smiled calmly and said, "Although I have completed my mission, I don't mind working overtime, since this civilization has no hope anyway."

After what happened with Seele, Ling Xi no longer cares about any opinions or how people other than her family see her. Because that's just how it is. No matter how much you contribute, if you make even the slightest mistake, or even a mistake that is imposed on you, it is unforgivable.

This time, it was because I still considered myself human that I was unwilling to be at odds with the world and humanity. After all, I couldn't just think about myself; I also needed to consider the people around me. That's why I tried to understand and be understood.

And the result...

In short, after eliminating 500 million units for the Honkai God, Ling Xi no longer considers them as the same kind of beings, but rather... units!

If 500 million units could be exchanged for a resurrection opportunity, Ling Xi would really have the urge to solo the Previous Era's dungeon. After all, he still had nearly 9 billion units left, which rounded up to seventeen or eighteen times!

Of course, this is impossible, since the purpose of the Will of Honkai is not simply to destroy civilization.

"Forehead..."

Upon hearing Ling Xi's answer, Mobius was somewhat at a loss for words.

"Ling Xi, I have strictly controlled the spread of information and online public opinion. At the same time, I am also preparing to announce to the public that the Herrscher of Death and the Herrscher of Flame have been eliminated, and the identity of the person who eliminated these two Herrscher. Ling Xi, are you interested?"

Mobius planned to discuss the future with Ling Xi, since they still had to face what lay ahead, so Mobius also wanted to ask Ling Xi if she was interested.

"Forget it, Doctor, you should find someone else."

Ling Xi resolutely refused, and laughed, "Doctor, you should be able to guess that since I have already made a deal with Him, how could I possibly help humanity in the future?"

"Um?"

Mobius paused for a moment, as if he had guessed something, and asked, "You mean..."

"That's right, from now on..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "As long as the enemy is Herrscher, and as long as the Herrscher does not harm the people around me, then I will absolutely not take action. Even if I do take action, I will only drive the Herrscher away, and I will not engage in a life-or-death battle with them. Of course, I think that when the Herrscher on the other side has this thought, it will be stopped by Him!"

"Hmm... okay, as expected."

Mobius hesitated for a moment but was not particularly surprised. After all, if Ling Xi were to help humanity with her current strength, then probably no Herrscher except for the Finality would be able to defeat Ling Xi.

Moreover, after this incident, even without His request, Ling Xi probably wouldn't help anymore, and wouldn't even want a title!

However, this was their own choice.

"Ding-dong..."

At that moment, the laboratory door opened.

"Doctor, the losses from this Honkai 3rd have been largely tallied. What do you think... Hey? Seele?"

Klein's voice came first from the laboratory, but he seemed to be startled halfway through his sentence.

"Hey Mobius, are you free? I need your help... Eh? Seele?"

Then, Elysia's voice appeared, and her reaction was exactly the same as Klein's!

Seele: "..." Are these people crazy?

"Ahem, you two, it's been a long time!"

Hearing the noise outside, Ling Xi and Mobius quickly returned to the lab, otherwise it would be troublesome if they were exposed.
