Elysia's Pointy Ears!

The next day, Eden arrived at the laboratory as promised, and then had Mobius test her, while searching for a suitable Honkai factor for her...

And the result was exactly as Ling Xi had predicted yesterday: Eden possessed the talent to implant elite-level Hypervariable Factor, and the adaptability of two Judgment-class Honkai Beast genes both exceeded 80%. As for what happens next...

Ling Xi didn't stay any longer, but went to find Kevin!

"Heh, Brother Ling Xi, what brings you here to see me?"

Kevin has now become one of humanity's strongest warriors, but he remains very friendly towards Ling Xi, after all, they are old friends, and...

Mei had also told him part of the truth about the Seventh Herrscher, so Kevin understood that Ling Xi's current strength was already greater than his own!

"Just bored."

Ling Xi smiled and then said to Kevin, "By the way, now that the Eighth Herrscher has been eliminated, what progress have you and Doctor Mobius made?"

"Ha?"

Upon hearing Ling Xi's question, Kevin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Good brother, don't forget that we are living in very difficult times right now, so we should put aside these personal feelings."

"Why..."

Ling Xi couldn't help but sigh and said, "If I remember correctly, you should be undergoing the Hypervariable Surgery within a week, right?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Kevin nodded. After all, he knew Ling Xi's identity, and the identities of Mobius and Elysia... cough cough, so it was perfectly normal for Ling Xi to know this information. Perhaps Ling Xi even knew it earlier than he did!

"Then you should understand that once the Hypervariable Surgery is performed, the human will no longer be a pure human!"

Ling Xi looked at the sky and calmly said, "In other words, once you undergo the Hypervariable Surgery, even if you have offspring with a normal human, they will no longer be normal humans. In fact... the side effects of the Hypervariable Factor may make it impossible for you to have offspring again!"

"This..."

Kevin was also momentarily confused, and at the same time... he seemed to understand why I had said that Ling Xi and Elysia had been together for so long, but they hadn't made any moves. So that's why...

It's Ling Xi's fault... Is this the trouble of the strong?

"Kevin..."

Ling Xi had no idea what Kevin was imagining, and simply smiled slightly, "So, if you still have feelings for Doctor. Mei, then I advise you to express your feelings before undergoing the Hypervariable Surgery, otherwise..."

"Hehe, thank you for your kindness, Brother Ling Xi, but..."

Kevin said with a serious expression and firm determination, "All Mei is thinking about right now is eliminating the Honkai, so... my goal is also to defeat the Honkai. I believe that Mei and I will resolve our issues sooner or later, but... not now!"

"And..."

Kevin smiled slightly and said, "I think I know Mei pretty well. She probably wouldn't have this thought before defeating the Honkai. But it doesn't matter to me, because... as long as I can protect Mei, that's enough for me!"

"I see..."

Upon hearing Kevin's answer, Ling Xi didn't know what to say or how to persuade him further.

No, it's no use!

After all, the progress of these two...

To be honest, this is even slower than when I met Elysia for the fifth time. After all, I think I already hugged Elysia by the fifth time we met, while Kevin and May...

Um, it seems like I've never even seen them hold hands, so...

Ling Xi couldn't think of any other possibility besides "I Love a Shiba Inu" to get Kevin loaded within the week!

After all... at least in his own opinion, his wives were all the kind that were relatively easy to handle, while Mei...

Well, although I don't know if I'm similar to Mei, I'm definitely not like Elysia and Seele are so easygoing!

Besides, Kevin isn't in the mood for that right now, because more than being together, Kevin wants to... protect!

"Ah, okay, I get it."

In the end, Ling Xi didn't say anything more, but just smiled at Kevin and said, "Then... let's look forward to the day when humanity defeats the Honkai!"

"Um!"

Kevin smiled slightly and said firmly, "No matter the cost, humanity... will definitely defeat the Honkai!"

Ling Xi: "..." So, is this the reason why Ancestor Kevin said that famous quote?

Afterwards, Kevin went back to training, and Ling Xi didn't say much. After all... she had already said what she needed to say, which could be considered more than enough, and considering Kevin's current state...

Even if I told him the truth about what happened after merging with Pvanty, he probably wouldn't change his mind, much less refuse the merging, because...

This is Mei's suggestion!

Although Mei doesn't know what will happen after merging with Pvanty!

Five days later...

Kevin underwent Hypervariable Surgery to implant the Pvanty gene, and because of the importance of this surgery, it was performed by Youmei and Mobius together to ensure that no detail was overlooked!

And the surgery... was a success!

With the support of the Stigmata Gene and the Hypervariable Factor, Kevin became the strongest warrior of mankind, bar none!

However...

What will be the price for Ge Erdan?

While Pvanty's genes granted Kevin the power to manipulate ice and snow, they also lowered his body temperature to minus thirty degrees Celsius!

The result was that anyone who came into contact with Kevin would suffer from frostbite, and his feelings for May... would have to remain hidden in his heart from now on!

On the day Kevin became humanity's strongest warrior, May and Kevin spent the night alone in the lab, but...

They can probably only chat together, because May would never touch Kevin!

Ling Xi didn't pay attention to what Kevin and May talked about, because Ling Xi was already focused on Eden's Hypervariable Surgery!

After Mobius's testing, Mobius specially performed gene editing on the Hypervariable Factor that Eden was about to merge with, making it more adaptable to Eden!

After asking Eden one last time if he really wanted to become Fused Warrior, Mobius performed the Hypervariable Surgery on him, and the result... was, of course, successful!

However, even though Eden became Fused Warrior, his Honkai Energy Adaptability was only just over 1,000, which only made him a high-level Fused Warrior. He was still far from being a top-tier one!

As for the characteristics and side effects that the Hypervariable Factor brings to Eden...

Well, judging from the current situation, it seems that apart from changing Eden from C to D+, there are no other side effects, at least not at the moment!

This made Elysia extremely envious, and thus, Elysia looked forward even more eagerly to her own Hypervariable Surgery, hoping...

I hope I can get the same side effects as Eden, but of course, my biggest wish is to become even more beautiful, the most beautiful kind of side effect!

Chapter 396: Elysia's Pointy Ears!

Time passed day by day. After Kevin became Fused Warrior, human technology advanced further. May was also searching for a way to neutralize the side effects of the Pvanty gene, but unfortunately...

It's not fair to say we've made any progress; we've made absolutely no progress at all!

More and more people are becoming Fused Warrior, and their previous professions are all sorts of strange and unusual!

For example, there was an older sister who used to be a nun, a younger sister who used to be a magician, and a Dihua boy from Kevin's team whose name was something like "Magic". Ling Xi didn't remember the exact name, but it was pretty cringeworthy!

In addition, Ling Xi also met Brother Jie. It has to be said that Brother Jie is really strong. Although he has not yet undergone the Hypervariable Surgery and his Honkai Energy Adaptability is less than 100HW, he has mastered a power that does not belong to Honkai, which allows him to easily defeat a 1500HW Fused Warrior!

Perhaps, after Brother Jie completes his Hypervariable Surgery, he will most likely become a top-tier Fused Warrior!

Furthermore, due to the Herrscher, many orphans have emerged in the world who have lost their parents and families. These little ones are very willing to become Fused Warrior, and Mobius and Mebius have not refused them, after all...

At least this gives them a chance to survive. But the Flame-Chasing Moths is not a charity organization. They are already struggling to fight the Honkai, so how can they have the energy to manage these people?

As a result, a large number of people who had lost family members chose to undergo Hypervariable Surgery. Among these hundreds of thousands, four top-tier Fused Warrior emerged with Honkai Energy Adaptability exceeding 1600 HW, and...

They all came from the same orphanage in Shenzhou, and were named Ye Bufan, Xiao Huohuo, Lin Yunli, and Chu Chegan. As soon as Ling Xi saw these names, he knew that this child's future was bound to be limitless, terrifyingly powerful, and absolutely could not be allowed to live!

"Guess who I am..."

That day, Ling Xi was fishing by the pond at home when her eyes were suddenly covered...

"Elysia, you've been using this trick for a year now, aren't you tired of it?"

Ling Xi smiled helplessly, then put down the fish tank and grabbed Elysia's wrists with both hands, laughing, "Why are you back so early today? Aren't you training?"

"Hehe, Ling Xi..."

Elysia simply smiled, then stepped in front of Ling Xi so that Ling Xi could look at her more closely, and said with a smile, "Do you see anything different about me?"

"Different? Elysia, what's wrong with you... eh?"

Ling Xi was about to retort that there was anything different about Elysia, but then she suddenly noticed Elysia's ears...

"Elysia, your ears?"

The moment Ling Xi saw Elysia's ears, long-dormant memories flooded her mind. Yes, she had been in this world for so long, and from the very beginning when she first met Elysia was a normal human being, so...

I've almost forgotten what Elysia looks like in the game!

And now...

"You've become Fused Warrior?"

Ling Xi knew to directly ask Elysia...

"Um!"

Elysia smiled and nodded. "How is it? This is the change that the Great Freedom Heaven Gene has brought to me. Do you like it?"

"Heh... I do like it, but..."

Ling Xi looked at Elysia speechlessly and asked, "Didn't you say the Hypervariable Surgery was going to take place next week? Why is it happening today...?"

"Hehe..."

Elysia threw herself into Ling Xi's arms and said gently with a smile, "That's because I was afraid you'd worry, so I made it in advance. That way... when you receive it, you'll only be surprised, not worried. How about that? Aren't you happy?"

Ling Xi "..."

"Yes, I'm happy, but don't do that again next time..."

Ling Xi was also somewhat speechless. Although according to the script, there shouldn't be any problems with Elysia's Hypervariable Surgery, she had already messed up the script of the Previous Era, so... who knew if there would be any unexpected events!

Fortunately, Elysia's Hypervariable Surgery was successful this time, without any unexpected events, and...

Elysia has now become the complete Elysia!

"Hehe, I know, I know..."

Seeing that Ling Xi still cared about her so much, Elysia smiled and said gently, "Ling Xi, would you like to touch my ears? These are... the ears of a legendary elf."

"Sure!"

Ling Xi, of course, wouldn't refuse, and laughed, "I've wanted to touch it for a long time..."

"Be gentle, or I'll cry!"

Elysia obediently tilted her head and gently rested it on Ling Xi's lap, exposing her ears to Ling Xi without any defenses, while gently closing her eyes, seemingly enjoying this moment of peace!

Ling Xi gently stroked Elysia's pointed ears. He had to admit, the feel of those ears... well, it was just so-so, but...

These are my wife's ears! And the only person in the world who can caress Elysia's ears like this is probably myself!

"By the way, Elysia, what about the side effects of your Hypervariable Surgery? Was it just your ears?"

While stroking Elysia's ears, Ling Xi asked the question out of curiosity. If the side effect was only in her ears, then she wouldn't be unable to accept it. Although she could also accept any other small changes that might occur in Elysia's body!

"Of course not..."

Elysia sighed helplessly, and said with a hint of disappointment, "Mobius conducted a comprehensive examination on me, and then came to a conclusion that left me very disappointed, which is... after fusing with the Hypervariable Factor, my bodily functions seem to have stopped changing, in other words..."

Elysia sighed again, saying helplessly, "No matter how much I eat, how little I exercise, or how many nights I stay up, there's absolutely no chance I'll gain weight or get wrinkles, I won't get pimples, and I won't get old, because my body's functions have stopped growing. However..."

"That's my problem too. After all, Mobius and the others will be aunties in a few years, while I can only stay as a young girl forever. I can't feel the joy of growing up at all, and in the end..."

Elysia looked at her chest and sighed, "I probably won't be able to surpass Eden in my entire life. After all, I'll only be able to stay like this from now on. I won't grow old or grow up. Sigh... It's really a problem."

Ling Xi: "..." Can you hear me?

Ling Xi always felt that Elysia was deliberately showing off, but unfortunately she had no evidence...

However, Ling Xi was too lazy to complain, and continued to stroke Elysia's ears. Mmm... the more she touched them, the better they felt!

"Cough cough!"
