One Judah Strike for Parvati... / Can Shesha's Side Effects Even Be Called Side Effects? ...

"Fused Warrior..."

After hearing Eden's purpose, Mobius was slightly surprised, but she did not refuse. Instead, she asked, "So, Eden, what kind of Fused Warrior do you want to become? Elite, advanced, intermediate, or just something that's passable?"

Are there any requirements?

Eden knew that this wasn't a choice to be made casually, otherwise everyone would choose the elite, but the mortality rate of the Hypervariable Surgery was still a problem that couldn't be underestimated.

"Certainly."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "Elite surgery can generally only be performed on people with exceptional talent. Even so, the mortality rate remains high. After all, it uses the genes of Emperor-class and Judgment-class Honkai Beast, and the most mature and active gene molecules, so the side effects are extremely severe. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to succeed."

"I won't go into much detail about the advanced and intermediate levels. The last one is just passable; basically anyone can do it, but the potential is also the weakest. People who choose this option will almost never have Honkai Energy Adaptability exceeding 30HW!"

"Mmm..."

Eden nodded thoughtfully, clearly unwilling to become cannon fodder, and smiled, "Then, according to the Doctor, which stage should I choose?"

"We'll know for sure after testing."

Mobius also laughed and said, "After all, Hypervariable Surgery is not something that can be done casually. Before performing Hypervariable Surgery, we will conduct a comprehensive test on the target and give corresponding suggestions. Although occasionally some people will ignore the advice and insist on choosing a higher level of Hypervariable Factor, the result... I can only say that the survival rate is conservatively described as one in ten thousand!"

Chapter 393: A Judah Slaps Pvanty...

Afterwards, Mobius chatted with Eden for a while, then called Klein to explain the relevant content about Fused Warrior and Hypervariable Factor to Eden. He then went to find Ling Xi to play games, since today was a day off, and it might be the last day off in the short term!

After Eden learned about the Fused Warrior, she decided to become Fused Warrior. So Mobius asked her to come to the lab the next day for testing before deciding on the level of the Hypervariable Surgery!

"Sigh, I never expected that our most dazzling star would make such a choice."

After Eden took his leave, Elysia couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She thought that fighting the Honkai was their responsibility, but she never expected that Eden would make such a choice.

"Heh, if it succeeds, it should be a good thing for her."

Mobius chuckled, "After all, the Honkai and Herrscher will only grow stronger in the future, and Eden's identity dictates that she can only be useful in times of peace. But when it comes to the life-or-death struggle of humanity, nothing else matters except battle, so..."

Mobius stretched and sighed, "If Eden is still just a pretty face in the future, then she'll most likely be eliminated, unless she's like Seele or May, with Ling Xi or Kevin by her side. If that's the case, then she won't have to worry about these things, but..."

At this point, Mobius shrugged. "She doesn't have any. She doesn't have Kevin to protect her, nor does she have Ling Xi who's willing to fight the Herrscher for her. In the apocalypse, she's lost her idol aura and is ultimately just an ordinary girl. If she doesn't have the ability to protect herself, her only fate will be elimination!"

"So, Eden... made the right choice!"

Mobius knew very well that evolution... was never a beautiful word, because evolution was often accompanied by ugliness. Only by keeping up with evolution and adapting to new environments could one survive, while the losers...

It's destined to become history!

"I just don't know if Eden will be able to successfully become Fused Warrior..."

Thinking of this, Elysia glanced at Ling Xi, a little worried. After all, becoming Fused Warrior is not something you can just think about or work hard for; it requires talent and perseverance!

Since the Flame-Chasing Moths fully opened applications for Fused Warrior, it has received over three billion applications worldwide. Of these, one billion have undergone preliminary testing, and the results...

There are fewer than 100,000 people who meet the criteria for the intermediate level of the Hypervariable Factor. As for the lowest level of the Hypervariable Factor, almost anyone can do it. But even so, the percentage of people who successfully activate it and survive is still less than one percent!

Therefore, Elysia was also a little worried about Eden. What if Eden only met the lowest level requirements?

"Don't worry, Elysia."

At this moment, Ling Xi also spoke up, laughing, "Eden is not just a pretty face; she truly has talent. As for the Hypervariable Surgery... I think she can at least perform advanced surgeries, and maybe even try the elite level."

"Oh, you're that confident?"

Mobius had just asked the question when he instantly realized it and couldn't help but laugh, "Well, I almost forgot who you are..."

"Now that you say that, I feel relieved."

Elysia smiled with satisfaction. After all... the reason she had said that on purpose was to get Ling Xi to tell her the answer, and the answer Ling Xi gave her...

All I can say is that Eden was really lucky!

"By the way, the compatibility work between Mei's Hypervariable Factor and the Stigmata Gene is basically complete, so..."

Mobius chuckled, "If nothing unexpected happens, Kevin should undergo the Hypervariable Surgery within a week, and the Honkai Beast gene he chose is the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Pvanty, which is the Companion Honkai Beast of the Fifth Herrscher!"

"Pvanty?"

Hearing this familiar name, Ling Xi was somewhat surprised. Although in the original work, Ancestor Kevin did indeed fuse with Pvanty, that was only because he had no choice but to choose Pvanty in order to fight against the Seventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Flame. Although it later became the core reason why he could release the Heavenly Flame without taking any damage, but...

In this timeline, I have become the Seventh Herrscher, and I don't need Kevin to destroy me. So why did Ancestor Kevin still merge with Pvanty?

It's important to know that Pvanty isn't actually that strong among the Honkai Beast; a single Judah could easily kill her!

Um... Although there might be a tiny difference between the Honkai Beast of the Previous Era and post-civilization eras, Pvanty is ultimately just Emperor-class Honkai Beast!

"What's wrong?"

Mobius glanced at Ling Xi curiously.

"Why choose Pvanty? And..."

Ling Xi couldn't help but ask curiously, "With Kevin's talent, he should be more than capable of fusing with Judgment-class Honkai Beast, so why did he choose the Emperor-class Pvanty? And... I remember Pvanty Honkai Energy is ice-attribute, so after fusing with it... Kevin should have some trouble, right?"

"Heh, Ling Xi, have you forgotten that the most important thing about Hypervariable Factor isn't level, but... adaptability?"

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a hint of helplessness and smiled, "Back then, you fused with Shesha because you had no other choice. After all, Shesha was the only gene that could save you at the time. But now... before we perform the Hypervariable Surgery on a target, we first analyze the gene sequence to find the most suitable Hypervariable Factor for the test subject's genes before we proceed with the surgery. And Kevin..."

"Through gene sequence analysis, Prometheus's final calculation showed that his success rate in fusing with Pvanty was 98%, while the second-place Honkai Judgment-class Honkai Beast Garuda, had a success rate of 15%. So, do you know why?"

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi was momentarily speechless. It seemed that, Ancestor Kevin, you were destined not to be with Mei...

Speaking of which, should I talk to Kevin surgery and ask him to leave some small gifts for Mei beforehand? Even though IVF is an option, but...

Ultimately, I feel there's still some regret...

"By the way, Elysia, your Hypervariable Factor is ready too."

At this point, Mobius also laughed and said, "You all still remember the Great Freedom Heaven, right? The Honkai Beast that you left behind back then, Ling Xi, was difficult to classify in a conventional way because of its special abilities, so it was called the End-Law Honkai Beast. Coincidentally, Elysia, your Hypervariable Factor compatibility with the Great Freedom Heaven is over 90%, so if nothing unexpected happens, your Hypervariable Factor should be the Great Freedom Heaven."

"Wow, ninety percent!"

Elysia also looked surprised and smiled at Ling Xi, "Ling Xi, it seems we are really destined to be together. We're together now, and I didn't expect even your Companion Honkai Beast to be so suitable for me. We really are a match made in heaven!"

"Yes, that's right!"

Ling Xi nodded in agreement, showing no objection whatsoever. After all, my wife Elysia and I are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Who are you, a monster, to object to us?

"Tch, Ling Xi and I share the same Honkai Beast gene."

Mobius snorted slightly, clearly annoyed!

"Heh, the same Honkai Beast, then their genes are very similar, in that case..."

Elysia replied with a mischievous grin, "That just means you guys are incestuous..."

Mobius "..."

Ling Xi "..."

What the hell is this orthopedics...?

Chapter 394: Can Shesha's side effects really be called side effects?

"Elysia, I think it's necessary for me to give you a basic lesson on human genes."

Mobius pursed his lips and snorted, "After the Sasha Gene was implanted, the genetic differences between Ling Xi and me are greater than the genetic differences between humans and monkeys, because the Sasha Gene doesn't just assimilate, it modifies more, so..."

At this point, Mobius chuckled and said, "Actually, from a biological perspective, after becoming Fused Warrior, a person is no longer just a simple human being. Although they can still reproduce normally with ordinary humans, their offspring will naturally not be ordinary humans. This can be considered... a part of evolution!"

"Wow, I've learned something new!"

Elysia then looked as if she had just realized something and nodded to indicate that she understood...

Ling Xi looked at Elysia's pretentious act and wanted to complain. After all, this girl was better at biology than him, so how could she not know these things?

"Has the Hypervariable Factor for Na Ying been selected?"

After talking about herself, Elysia was also curious and asked Sakura about it. After all, she and Sakura were close friends and sisters, so it was normal for her to know about Sakura, right?

"Um."

Mobius nodded slightly and smiled, "Not only Sakura, but I've also prepared Seele's. Now we're just waiting to see how Kevin's fusion goes. If the Stigmata Gene and the Hypervariable Factor can be successfully fused, then Elysia and Sakura's plans will begin as soon as possible. As for Seele..."

At this point, Mobius glanced at Ling Xi and said, "Ling Xi, although I know you don't want Seele to get involved in these things, my suggestion is still to let Seele also undergo the fusion. This is to be responsible for her. Of course, this is just a suggestion; whether or not to undergo the fusion is ultimately up to you."

"Seele..."

Ling Xi thought about it for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Since it's the Doctor's suggestion, I naturally won't object. I'll go and discuss it with Seele. If she has no objections, then it's settled."

"Oh, no problem."

Seeing Ling Xi's straightforwardness, Mobius nodded in satisfaction. She was afraid that Ling Xi would still treat Seele like a decorative vase and protect her meticulously. Although this could protect Seele, it was ultimately not as good as Seele becoming strong on her own!

"Oh, right, Ling Xi!"

Mobius suddenly added, "Do you still remember what I told you before, that I would find a way to solve Shesha's side effects?"

"Of course I remember. What, Doctor, have you already found a way?"

Ling Xi immediately asked about it out of curiosity!

"Well... I can only say that it's theoretically feasible."

Mobius also laughed and said, "I found corresponding gene molecules in the genes of some Honkai Beast that can suppress Shesha's genes to a certain extent, especially the part of the gene with excessive energy. Perhaps... injecting you with the new Hypervariable Factor will solve this problem!"

"I object!"

Elysia suddenly interrupted, saying righteously, "First of all, the Hypervariable Surgery is inherently a risky procedure, and... Ling Xi is already Fused Warrior. Injecting Hypervariable Factor into her might trigger some very complex chain reactions, and she might even inexplicably die in the end, so..."

Elysia said earnestly, "I think Ling Xi is fine as she is now. It's just a side effect, right? With us here, it's nothing!"

"Hmm..."

Hearing Elysia's righteous words, Mobius was at a loss for words for a moment, and only asked quietly, "You're not worried that Ling Xi won't have enough to go around after the side effects are gone, are you?"

"Cough cough, how could that be? I was just... concerned about Ling Xi's health, okay? After all, Ling Xi is my husband!"

Elysia would never admit that this was her true thought, although... it wasn't entirely unfounded. After all, the reason she and Sakura weren't fighting was largely because Ling Xi possessed the side effects of Shesha. Therefore, resources were plentiful, and there was no need to fight...

However, just like in human history, once resources are unevenly distributed or become insufficient, war will inevitably break out.

Just like the duel between myself and Sakura on the rooftop of the villa, wasn't the biggest reason to want to obtain more resources? And the reason I was able to resolve the war crisis was naturally because Ling Xi had enough resources, so we could share them!

Therefore, Elysia thinks that if Ling Xi really didn't have this side effect, well...

It might not be so bad that I fight with others, but involution will definitely be very serious, because the essence of involution is simply a lack of resources.

Moreover, Elysia was very clear about Ling Xi's strength before he merged with Shesha. Back then, this guy couldn't even feed himself, let alone the other four people now, so...

Elysia ultimately felt that it was better for Ling Xi to remain as she was, since the side effects weren't insurmountable.

"Well, that makes sense..."

After thinking about it for a moment, Mobius also felt that Elysia's words made sense!

"Ling Xi, what do you think?"

Mobius glanced at Ling Xi again, intending to ask the person involved for their opinion.

Let's talk about this later.

Ling Xi smiled and said, "After all, I've already fused with Honkai Beast's genes once. If I were to fuse with them again, there might really be some side effects, and..."

"Ahem, it's a side effect of Shesha. It might be a side effect for others, but for me..."

Ling Xi also said righteously, "This shouldn't be considered a side effect, it's more like... a buff!"

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it later."

Seeing that Ling Xi and Elysia didn't seem to agree, Mobius decided not to bring it up again. Besides... at least from the current perspective, Shesha wasn't really a side effect for Ling Xi, in fact...

If this side effect were gone, it might be the real side effect for Ling Xi.

After all, sir, times have changed. Back then, Ling Xi was all alone, with the occasional philanderer, Elysia, as an extra. That's why the side effects of Shesha both made her and Elysia feel unwell. But now...

To take on five people at once requires resources!

Afterwards, Mobius talked about Klein and Danzhu Cangxuan's Hypervariable Factor, but none of the three have found a suitable Honkai Beast yet, so the Hypervariable Surgery can only be put on hold for the time being!

As for the bell...

That girl is still too young. Performing the Hypervariable Surgery on her now could potentially leave some strange side effects. Therefore, Mobius doesn't plan to perform the Hypervariable Surgery on Rin for the time being, unless...

Unless humanity reaches an extremely difficult point, I might consider performing the Hypervariable Surgery on Rin, so that Rin can also gain the right to evolve!
