Reuniting with Eden! / Does Eden Want to Become a Fused Warrior Too?

Klein and Elysia are currently handling these tasks, so the internal team building activities of the Flame-Chasing Moths during this period... are definitely not going to be a bunch of Fused Warrior sitting together eating noodles!

Chapter 389: Encountering Eden Again!

"Ling Xi ..."

After Klein left, Mobius silently looked at Ling Xi and asked, "Is it possible to change the damage caused by the next Herrscher?"

"Have no idea..."

Ling Xi paused for a moment, then gave the same answer, "All I know is that the moment the Herrscher of Rock is born, his powerful authority will directly sink the Mu Continent. So... this is not a question of whether it can be changed, but rather that the Herrscher of Rock is bound to be born, and he will inevitably release his authority upon birth. Even if we destroy him immediately, he will still release his authority!"

The powers released at birth are like the hurricane of the Fourth Herrscher, the ice of thousands of miles of land of Fifth Herrscher Sixth Herrscher, the ignition of the earth by the Seventh Herrscher, and the slumber of an entire city by the Eighth Herrscher. These are all powers that must be released when Herrscher is born!

Among all the Herrscher, the Third Herrscher was defeated by Ling Xi before she was fully formed, which is why she did not release her powers. As for the Sixth Herrscher... well, don't ask, it's just that I'm disgusted. So, the Sixth Herrscher also did not actually release her powers!

However, the subsequent Herrscher basically appeared instantly and released their powers immediately, leaving humans no time to react. Otherwise, the Herrscher of Rock wouldn't have been able to sink the entire Mu Continent so easily!

"Doctor, instead of worrying about the Tenth Herrscher, I think we should focus our energy on the Tenth Herrscher."

In Ling Xi's opinion, the Herrscher of Rock was alright, since the humans in this timeline had basically withdrawn their elite forces from the Mu Continent, so the losses caused by the Herrscher of Rock were limited. The real troublesome one was the Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Domination, also known as... the Thousand-Man Herrscher!

"Doctor, as I should have mentioned, the Tenth Herrscher is one of the most unique Herrscher. She is not an individual, but rather composed of a thousand people. Although their individual abilities are weak, however..."

Ling Xi's gaze sharpened, and he said with utmost seriousness, "They are able to infiltrate human society and the Flame-Chasing Moths, causing destruction to humanity from within. If we don't find a way to identify Herrscher soon, then I think the losses caused by the Thousand-Man Herrscher will probably be no less than those caused by the previous Herrscher!"

Apart from the Finality, no matter how strong the other Herrscher are, they are still just individuals. As long as humanity finds a way, they can still be eliminated. However, the Thousand-Man Herrscher are extremely special. The biggest problem in fighting the Thousand-Man Herrscher is... you don't know who the Herrscher is!

"Mmm..."

Hearing Ling Xi's words, Mobius also fell into deep thought, then smiled and said, "It's alright, finding Thousand-Man Herrscher isn't difficult. After all... even a very weak Herrscher still possesses Honkai Energy, so..."

"I plan to develop a system that will be implemented in all of the Flame-Chasing Moths's research institutes after the Ninth Herrscher incident is over. The basic principle is to monitor the Honkai Energy Adaptability of everyone at all times. The system will detect any increase or decrease immediately, thereby identifying the possible emergence of Thousand-Man Herrscher!"

Although Ling Xi's words were rather serious, in Mobius's view, the greatest advantage of the Thousand-Man Herrscher was simply their ability to conceal themselves. Once humans were able to identify the Thousand-Man Herrscher, the losses they caused would be almost negligible, after all...

Kevin, Elysia, and several other top-tier Fused Warrior are now close to achieving Honkai Energy Adaptability of 2000 HW, in other words...

The Honkai Energy they control is almost at the level of a fully-fledged Standard Herrscher, so...

With the exception of the Herrscher of Finality of the End, humanity's direct combat capabilities are such that they fear no Herrscher whatsoever!

Once we find the individual member of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, whoever they are, we can simply eliminate them!

Furthermore, the Honkai Energy detection was only a preliminary plan. Later, Mobius planned to seek Mei's help to jointly develop something that could identify Herrscher. In short... unlike the parallel world Ling Xi had seen, the world she was in...

Humans have the advantage of foresight!

"Um... okay."

Seeing that Mobius was quite confident, Ling Xi didn't say anything more, after all, the Doctor was more professional than her!

"Alright, let's talk about the Herrscher later, don't forget..."

Mobius gently lifted Ling Xi's arm and said with a smile, "There's a celebration tonight, let's go together."

"Okay, sure."

Although Ling Xi wasn't really keen on attending, the Doctor had already invited her, and it would be somewhat inappropriate for her to refuse. Besides...

Elysia and Sakura will definitely come tonight. It's been a few days since I've spent time with them, since they've all been on their own missions lately.

In the evening, Ling Xi first went home to pick up Seele and Ling before heading to the venue. However, the celebration banquet had not yet started, so Ling Xi handed Ling over to Ying and then took Seele to the lounge to find Elysia, since the hall was too noisy!

"Oh, it's Ling Xi."

Suddenly, Ling Xi seemed to hear a familiar voice.

"Hmm? Miss Eden?"

Upon seeing the person in front of him, Ling Xi was delighted and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met!"

"Yes, I clearly told you you could come to me, but it was just polite talk."

Eden glanced at Ling Xi with a hint of reproach and laughed, "Also, how many times have I told you, just call me Eden!"

"E... Eden?"

Upon seeing Eden, Seele seemed quite excited. After all, her idol from back then was now standing right in front of her. How could she not be excited?

"Hi, this must be Seele."

Upon seeing Seele, Eden greeted her warmly. Although she knew about the Sixth Herrscher, she didn't think it mattered.

"Hello, Eden, I... I'm Seele, Ling Xi's girlfriend. It's nice to meet you!"

Seele quickly reached out her hand, feeling a little nervous but mostly happy.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you too, Seele."

Eden maintained his gentle smile and said, "Elysia mentioned you to me before. I remember you were at the concert in Changkong City, weren't you?"

"Uh-huh."

Seele nodded happily and said with a smile, "I love your songs the most, I really love them."

"Hehe, thank you."

Hearing Seele's praise, Eden was also quite happy and asked with a smile, "Ling Xi, where are you planning to go?"

"The banquet is still a while away, so I'm going to go to the lounge to find Elysia and the others."

Ling Xi smiled and answered, then politely asked, "Would Eden like to come along?"

"Hmm... okay!"

Eden thought it over and didn't refuse. After all, he didn't have anything to do at the moment, and it seemed like a good choice to go and chat with Elysia. He smiled and said, "It's been a while since I've seen Elysia, and we agreed last time that I would go and chat with her when I had time!"

"Heh, I think Elysia would be happy to see you!"

Ling Xi smiled and then gestured for Eden to enter, "Please, both of you beautiful ladies!"

Chapter 390: Does Eden also want to become Fused Warrior?

"Hi, Ling Xi, did you miss me?"

Ling Xi entered the lounge, Elysia happily pounced on her.

"Huh? Eden?"

However, just as Elysia hugged Ling Xi, she saw Seele and Eden standing behind Ling Xi. Seele was not surprised, but why was Eden there as well?

"Yes, it's been a long time, Elysia."

Eden also greeted him politely.

"Hehe, yeah, it's been a while since we last met."

Elysia calmly released Ling Xi, then took Eden's arm and smiled, "I've been quite busy since I came back from Canghai City, so I haven't had time to see you. You're not angry, are you?"

How could that be?

Eden shook his head slightly and smiled, "After all, I'm in a similar situation to you. Because of the Honkai of Canghai City, my subsequent concerts were affected. In particular, under the influence of the Eighth Herrscher, the entertainment industry suffered another heavy blow."

Speaking of this, Eden was somewhat speechless, because strictly speaking, she was an innocent bystander. After all, the Eighth Herrscher's goal was to deal with the Flame-Chasing Moths, but for some reason, the keyword "comics" was specified in the first place, resulting in various industries being affected, and her...

Of the three concerts originally scheduled, only the European concert is still in preparation. The other two have been cancelled for various reasons, and it is currently unknown whether they will be rescheduled.

"Alas, there's nothing we can do. Fate is cruel. The Honkai of Canghai City..."

Elysia sighed silently and snorted, "Lingxi and I were having a great vacation together, but then Honkai Ling Xi came, and our planned week-long vacation was shortened by five days. Damn it, Herrscher, couldn't you have shown up a little later?"

Seele: "..." Wait, a vacation? Didn't you say you were going to work that time?

"Cough cough!"

Seeing the change in Seele's expression, Ling Xi quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's alright, the Herrscher have been eliminated, haven't they? I think social order should be restored soon."

"I guess so."

Eden simply nodded silently, but she also knew very well that unless the Honkai never happened again, the order of human society could never return to what it was before, and it might even become more and more difficult!

"Alright, Eden, cheer up!"

Elysia smiled and linked arms with Eden, saying, "Look, haven't we defeated the Honkai once again? Believe me, with my Ling Xi here, humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai!"

Ling Xi: "..." Damn it, wait a minute, don't drag me into your bragging!

However, seeing that both of them were looking at her, Ling Xi couldn't very well embarrass Elysia, so she could only nod and smile, "Yes, Elysia is right!"

"Hmm... hehe, it seems you're all very confident."

Eden smiled and said, "However, this is not hard to understand. After all, the Flame-Chasing Moths is so powerful now, and its operation against the Eighth Herrscher was swift and decisive. This is enough to show that our Flame-Chasing Moths is different from before. The Flame-Chasing Moths now..."

"Perhaps, he truly is the light of humanity."

Eden had witnessed the transformation of the Flame-Chasing Moths, from their previously laissez-faire approach to their current decisive and efficient style. This was clearly inseparable from Mobius's management. As for the Flame-Chasing Moths, although Eden knew they were humanity's only hope, he honestly didn't have much confidence in them. The reason was...

Those who understand, understand; those who don't, I can't explain...

However, the current Flame-Chasing Moths have given Eden hope and a future. Perhaps, under the leadership of such outstanding individuals, the Honkai... is not invincible!

"Oh, right, Elysia..."

At this point, Eden suddenly changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Are you Flame-Chasing Moths still hiring?"

"Ha?"

"Huh?"

As Eden spoke, Elysia and Seele both seemed somewhat surprised, after all...

Is Eden a star, or rather... a pretty face?

It seems rather inappropriate to have someone like that join a combat unit like the Flame-Chasing Moths!

Ling Xi wasn't surprised at all. After all, Eden was one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, so how could he not be Fused Warrior?

Therefore, Ling Xi was only slightly curious about Eden's words, but not actually surprised. The reason for her curiosity was, of course, her curiosity about Eden's motives for joining the Flame-Chasing Moths.

"Eden, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Elysia looked at Eden with a curious yet somewhat serious expression. "The Flame-Chasing Moths is a combat unit, you wouldn't...?"

"Hehe, didn't I say that last time?"

Eden shrugged and laughed, "Because of the new era, I officially became unemployed after the concert. In order to make a living in the future, I naturally need to find a job. I wonder if my Miss Elysia could introduce me to one?"

Ling Xi "..."

Seele "..."

Elysia "..."

The world's richest woman actually said she joined Flame-Chasing Moths just to make a living. I'd rather believe her desperate quest for a child than believe Eden, okay? Of course, if that woman seeking a child is Eden, then I'd be willing to believe her...

"Hehe, okay, I'm just kidding. I just... wanted to do my part."

Eden silently walked to the window, looked at the scenery below, and couldn't help but smile, "I truly hope this beautiful world can continue to exist forever, and now... Flame-Chasing Moths is doing is protecting this world, isn't that... what I think too!"

"Okay, fine."

Although Elysia still found Eden's reasons somewhat far-fetched, she understood Eden to a certain extent. While he was gentle and easygoing, once he made a decision, he rarely changed it, so...

Eden wants to join the Flame-Chasing Moths, and she's serious!

"So, Eden, where would you like to go? I'll arrange it for you tomorrow. Actually, there are some relatively relaxed departments within the Flame-Chasing Moths!"

Elysia is, after all, one of the core members of the Flame-Chasing Moths. Arranging someone's affairs is a piece of cake for her, especially since this is her good friend Eden!

"Elysia ..."

Eden simply looked at Elysia silently and smiled, "I'm not going to play with the Flame-Chasing Moths, I want to... become like you, to have the power to fight for humanity!"

"Huh?"

Eden's words left Elysia somewhat at a loss for words, making her feel just like herself...

Isn't this a desire to become Fused Warrior?

Although I'm not Fused Warrior yet, the essence is similar, but...

The mortality rate of Hypervariable Surgery, although improved by Mobius and May, is now almost negligible, but...

This is only the inactive state; once activated, the mortality rate remains terrifying. Eden...
