Ling Xi Is Still Ling Xi, and Seel Is Still Seel! / Do You Think I'm the Kind of Person Who'd Give In to Beauty? You Read Me Like a Book!

"Huh? Ling Xi..."

"Are you... Ling Xi?"

Upon seeing Ling Xi, the two seemed somewhat surprised and doubtful. After all, the Far East and almost half of the Mu Continent were already barren, and both the flame power of the Far East and the withering power of the Mu Continent originated from the previous Seventh Herrscher.

Therefore, although everyone is familiar with Ling Xi, the difference between her past and present is quite significant, so their reaction upon seeing Ling Xi is understandable.

"If he's not Ling Xi, then who else could he be?"

Mobius smiled and explained, "Some things happened during that time, so you might not be clear about them right now. I'll explain it to you slowly later. Klein, first report on the damage caused by this Honkai."

"Uh... yes, Doctor."

Klein glanced at Ling Xi with some doubt, then opened the virtual screen and began to speak, "In this Honkai event, centered on Far East, there are probably no living creatures left within a 1,000-kilometer radius. Moreover, the entire Far East is still burning, and it's unknown how long it will last..."

At this point, Klein also glanced at Ling Xi silently.

"It will burn for about three days."

Ling Xi stroked his chin and said, "After all, it is the power of the Seventh Herrscher, and it is an attack released at full power. The Honkai Energy will slowly dissipate in about three days."

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Klein continued reading, "The Mu Continent, centered on its capital, extends southward into a fan-shaped region with a radius of nearly 2,000 kilometers, reaching a radius of 100 degrees. Due to the influence of the withering power, it can be confirmed that there are no living beings within this region!"

"The initial estimate of the population loss caused by this incident is between 500 and 600 million, and the economic losses are incalculable, but they account for at least 20% of the world's total, mainly due to the Mu Continent."

Klein glanced at the report and concluded, "In short, after this Honkai, humanity's overall strength has regressed by at least twenty years. To recover to its original level, it will take at least thirty years. This is without considering the Herrscher and the Honkai. If we take that into account, then..."

"I think it's impossible for humanity to recover. In fact, even excluding the special Seventh Herrscher, at the current rate of Honkai, human civilization will basically disappear in less than five years, or even just three!"

Chapter 355: Ling Xi is still Ling Xi, and Seele is still Seele!

"Heh, three years, huh..."

After listening to Klein's report, Mobius nodded slightly and sighed, "Indeed, humanity... doesn't have much time left."

To be honest, Mobius was already thinking of giving up at this point, however... even so, she still wanted to struggle a little longer, after all, leading humanity to evolve had always been the motivation that kept her going!

Moreover, after the incident with the Sixth Herrscher, Mobius became even more certain of his initial belief, which was...

Eliminating the vast majority of people and leaving only a minority to complete evolution is impractical, given current human resources; it's impossible for the entire global population to evolve, and besides...

Some people, or rather the vast majority of people, are not qualified to evolve, especially those who contribute nothing to humanity or even have negative side effects. Including such people in the evolution process is just asking for trouble.

Therefore, only a minority can evolve!

As for how to choose, Mobius wasn't worried, because the next Herrscher would help him make the choice. After all, according to the original script, by the time the Twelfth Herrscher were around, there would be less than 30,000 humans left, so he didn't need to worry about the problem of too many people.

"Ling Xi, why don't you chat with them for a while? Seele, come with me, I have something to tell you, and by the way... I'll give you a physical exam."

Mobius decided to deal with Seele's problem first. As for Klein and Elysia, he would let Ling Xi explain for them. In any case, both of them were trustworthy. He trusted Klein, and as for Ling Xi... it was impossible that he still didn't trust Elysia, right?

"Huh?"

Seele seemed a little confused, but still nodded. "Okay, I understand."

So Mobius took Seele to have some tests done.

After all, Mobius still wanted to confirm whether this Seele was actually Seele, or rather... whether it was the original Seele.

Ling Xi "..."

Klein "..."

Elysia "..."

With Mobius and Seele gone, only the three of them remained in the room, and the atmosphere seemed to fall into a strange silence.

"Ahem, Elysia, is there anything you want to ask?"

In the end, Ling Xi spoke first. After all, these two knew about her identity as the Seventh Herrscher, and Ling Xi was worried that they would distance themselves from her because of this. Klein didn't care, since they weren't very familiar with each other to begin with, but Elysia...

To be honest, Ling Xi didn't want this to happen.

"Mmm..."

Elysia thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "If I, Mobius, and Sakura all fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"

Ling Xi: "???"

Good grief, Elysia's question completely stumped Ling Xi. What kind of question is this? And... what's the point of asking this kind of question in this situation?

"Ha... only children make choices, adults..."

Finally, Ling Xi gripped Santa Claus's hand, clenched her fist, and said, "I will save them all!"

"Hmm... alright, it seems that even after becoming Herrscher, the essence of an LSP remains unchanged, so I'm relieved."

Elysia deliberately patted her chest and said, "Since it's the nature of a pervert, then my body still has value. As long as it has value, then I don't have to worry about being killed to cover it up. Whew... that's great, that's great..."

Ling Xi "..."

Klein "..."

"Alright, stop fooling around. I'm still me, I haven't changed!"

Ling Xi rubbed her forehead sadly, but seeing that Elysia could joke around, she knew that the other party had accepted her identity.

"Hey-hey..."

Elysia rushed over and hugged her, laughing, "Then shouldn't you explain what happened?"

"Don't worry, I would have told you even if you hadn't asked."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "The thing is..."

"Honkai Energy Adaptability 200HW, HCG data normal, other data are almost unchanged compared to two months ago..."

While Ling Xi was explaining to Elysia and the other person, Mobius was conducting a full-body examination on Seele on the other side, and the test results were perfectly normal, with no difference from the data from two months ago.

Of course, it's impossible for them to be exactly the same. After all, the state of the human body and the sample collected can change during the test. For example, Seele ate breakfast or ate something that would affect the test results, it would affect the outcome!

Therefore, some minor errors can be basically ignored. After eliminating these errors, Seele's physical condition is almost exactly the same as it was two months ago.

Ling Xi told us that the time was the third day after the Herrscher of Ice was destroyed, which means that the time when this Seele came from should be fifty-five days ago, almost two months ago!

In short, it seems that Seele has truly been reborn, or perhaps...

It shouldn't be described as rebirth; after all, the word "rebirth" is more suitable for myself and Ling Xi, while Seele...

It should be called a time reset!

In other words, He adjusted Seele's time to two months ago, so the Seele from two months ago, but she is the real Seele, only... it's like she's traveled to two months in the future.

I must say, this kind of power is really convenient.

But there's another problem: if this is Seele from two months ago, then... will this girl undergo Herrscher transformation again?

Although the Death Herrscher Core is currently with Ling Xi, according to Ling Xi's theory, the Herrscher's body is the true entity. As long as there Honkai Energy, the core can be reassembled at any time, so...

Um, what if Seele becomes a Herrscher again in two months?

Speaking of which, could it be that Ling Xi, that idiot, got tricked?

Hmm, that's probably unlikely. After all, the Sixth Herrscher and Seventh Herrscher have already appeared, Seele... is unlikely to become Herrscher again!

Moreover, he wasn't afraid to start over, since he had two full months to go, and he was certain he could complete the plan to save Seele this time.

Of course, the most likely scenario is that Seele will no longer become a Herrscher. Otherwise, Ling Xi would probably kill all the next Herrscher to express his dissatisfaction, which would obviously be a meaningless act for him. So...

The most likely explanation is that Seele's situation is completely over, and the Sixth Honkai Eruption... has also come to a complete end!

However, it seems that Ling Xi will have another Herrscher by her side in the future— the Twelfth Herrscher. Fortunately, according to Ling Xi's description, as long as Rin is protected, the Twelfth Herrscher will pose no threat. In another parallel world, Rin's tragedy was caused by the actions of some idiots, so...

This time, no matter what, we absolutely cannot allow this kind of accident to happen again, otherwise, let it all end quickly, I'm tired!

Chapter 356: You think I'm the kind of person who succumbs to beauty? You have a good eye for people!

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my body?"

After receiving the test results, Mobius seemed to be pondering something, and Seele, seeing this, was also a little worried.

"No, everything is normal, I'm as healthy as can be."

Mobius smiled at Seele, but then couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Maybe she'll be having a baby soon..."

"Um?"

Seele was completely bewildered.

"It's nothing, cough cough, Seele, actually your consciousness has been dormant for two months..."

Subsequently, Mobius began to use his deception tactics on Seele. The general plot was that Seele was affected by the Sixth Herrscher, causing her to lose consciousness. During this time, the Sixth Herrscher manipulated Seele's body to cause trouble, but fortunately, it did not cause too much damage!

Finally, Ling Xi and he managed to awaken Seele's consciousness and destroy the Sixth Herrscher.

Upon hearing this answer, Seele was initially stunned and somewhat incredulous, because... she clearly hadn't felt anything at all, so how could two months have passed?

However, when Mobius showed Seele the time and some of the things that had happened in the last two months, Seele finally began to have some doubts about life!

Of course, Mobius didn't tell Seele about the latter part of the Sixth Herrscher's story, and Mobius had already used his authority to completely block this information across the internet. In short...

Both online and in real life, all information related to the Sixth Herrscher has been completely erased, and any related information has been completely blocked. However, the identity of the Sixth Herrscher is common knowledge, so from now on, we can only closely monitor Seele's movements and prevent any strangers from approaching Seele as much as possible...

In short, Mobius did not intend to let Seele know what happened in the latter half of the Sixth Herrscher incident. After some time had passed and the storm had passed, along with the Herrscher that would appear next, the matter of the Sixth Herrscher would most likely be forgotten in the archives.

Furthermore, the damage caused by the Sixth Herrscher was negligible compared to the other Herrscher. After all, the Sixth Herrscher didn't cause any casualties. The casualties of those dozens of people were mainly caused by the Honkai Beast that appeared at the beginning. As for the Honkai Beast that Seele summoned later...

Honestly, they were basically just there to make up the numbers; they were wiped out by Ling Xi and the Flame-Chasing Moths squad before they even had a chance to show their strength...

Although Mobius initially intended to conceal his identity Sixth Herrscher, since almost everyone knew about it, Mobius felt there was no need to hide it anymore. Wouldn't it be better to just tell Seele in a different way?

Ultimately, under Mobius's rigorous scientific persuasion, Seele chose to believe him. She couldn't help it, because two months had truly passed, and...

Last time, Ling Xi slept for a whole month, so while Seele had some doubts about this situation, it wasn't too hard to accept.

As for her identity as the Sixth Herrscher, Seele felt somewhat helpless, but fortunately it didn't cause any serious consequences, so she wasn't particularly bothered by it. Besides, wasn't the matter of the Sixth Herrscher resolved now?

"That's roughly how things went. In short, I made a deal with the god of Honkai, and since you've all seen Seele, I think you can guess what the deal was about."

In the laboratory, Ling Xi also explained the situation to Elysia and Klein in general terms. However, unlike before, she would at most completely trust Mobius, but would choose to hide some things from others, including Elysia and Seele.

This time, however, Ling Xi told the two of them the whole story, since they were both trustworthy people.

Elysia goes without saying, and Klein is absolutely obedient to Mobius, and... there's also her inexplicable 90% affection for him. In short, he's probably trustworthy too!

After all, even when Seele became Herrscher and was targeted by the whole world, they still stood firmly on her side, and that alone is enough!

"Hoo, although I had long suspected that the Honkai was not a natural phenomenon, but..."

Klein sigh, "I never imagined that this would be a way to test civilizations, and that there really are gods in this world!"

"Yeah, I always feel like there's something..."

Elysia shrugged and chuckled, "Heh, but if even a phenomenon like Honkai can occur, the existence of Honkai God doesn't seem so unreasonable. Speaking of which, if Honkai Energy could grant wishes, then..."

Elysia suddenly asked, "What price do I have to pay to become the most beautiful girl in the world?"

"You are already the most beautiful girl in the world."

Ling Xi smiled and looked at Elysia, saying, "If you make that wish again, it'll probably cause the Honkai God!"

"Hehe, okay, I'm sure of it again, you're still Ling Xi, nothing has changed."

Hearing Ling Xi's praise, Elysia smiled. After all, what girl wouldn't like to be praised?

"What? Were you still having doubts just now?"

Ling Xi feigned dissatisfaction, saying, "I trust you so much, how can you still doubt me?"

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Elysia quickly hugged Ling Xi tightly, pleading, "Please forgive me this time, okay?"

"Cough cough."

Ling Xi coughed lightly and said righteously, "Elysia, do you think I'm the kind of person who would use a honey trap?"

"Eh..."
