The Plan to Deal with the Herrscher of Thousands! / Senior, Once We Beat the Tenth Herrscher, Let's Go on a Date...

As for abilities...

In terms of research ability, Klein certainly inferior to Mobius and May, but when it came to work ability, Klein feared no one, so...

Entrusting this to Klein shouldn't be a problem, since Mobius doesn't have much time. However, this means... Klein will be given information about the Tenth Herrscher, although...

There shouldn't be any problem. After all, Klein wouldn't betray him and Mobius, and besides...

Even if this matter is made public, with Mobius's current strength and status, as long as he doesn't rebel, no one can shake him. After all, the current Mobius is much stronger than the Mobius in the original work!

In the original work, Mobius and Meya almost never truly held the highest authority over the Flame-Chasing Moths. After all, it's normal that the three remaining human cities were still fighting amongst themselves!

In short, in the original story, these two only truly gained power after the Twelfth Herrscher destroyed all of humanity's ground facilities and the higher-ups of the Flame-Chasing Moths, although at that time, humanity was probably down to only a few hundred people.

"I think it's fine."

After only a moment's thought, Ling Xi agreed with Mobius's idea, feeling quite at ease entrusting the matter to Klein.

"Uh... wait, Doctor, didn't you invite me here for bubble tea? Why are you suddenly given extra work?"

Klein was still somewhat bewildered. Mobius had offered to buy him milk tea and invite him to her lab, but...

The milk tea is real, but why has there suddenly been a new workload? And... this job sounds quite troublesome.

Since getting together with Ling Xi, Klein has maintained his serious work ethic, but he's also learned to take vacations. After all, only during vacations can he enhance his Honkai Energy, although he can occasionally do so while working...

In short, Klein has also started to learn how to slack off...

"Don't worry, Klein, I've already prepared the main plan. You just need to check for any omissions and assign people to do it."

Mobius simply smiled at Klein, then gently patted Klein on the shoulder and said, "Moreover, this matter is extremely important; it concerns the key to whether humanity can defeat the Tenth Herrscher, so..."

Mobius said righteously, "I can only feel at ease entrusting this matter to you. The organization has already decided that you will be in charge!"

Klein '...' It seems the Doctor always says this when assigning him a task...

Whether it was asking her to invite Ling Xi in the first place, or asking her to help with the courier service later, in short...

Just ignore this guy!

"Understood, Doctor..."

But what could Klein say? He had to listen to his boss after all...

"Oh..."

Mobius then smiled with satisfaction and nodded at Ling Xi.

"Klein..."

Ling Xi understood what Mobius meant and smiled, "Actually, the Doctor and I already know about the Tenth Herrscher..."

Chapter 405: The Plan Against Thousand-Man Herrscher!

"The Tenth Herrscher... the Thousand-Man Herrscher, this is truly extraordinary."

A moment later, Klein had just heard the information about the Tenth Herrscher from Ling Xi, also looked somewhat surprised. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "No wonder the Doctor used this plan. Indeed, if this plan is used, then it can detect the Thousand-Man Herrscher immediately!"

"Yes."

Mobius nodded and said, "Herrscher is still Herrscher. Even if they split into a thousand, they still possess Honkai Energy reactions far exceeding those of ordinary people. Therefore, my plan must be implemented in all research institutes within a month, and in all members of the Flame-Chasing Moths within three months, as well as among all those who have access to official venues. In short..."

"We must expose the Thousand-Man Herrscher!"

"But, Doctor, there's one more question."

Klein calmly said, "If what Ling Xi just said is true, that the Thousand-Man Herrscher can communicate with each other, then once we capture one of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, our method will probably be known to the other Thousand-Man Herrscher very quickly. If they respond accordingly, then we'll be in trouble."

"It doesn't matter."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "The individual strength of the Thousand-Man Herrscher is not strong. They probably wouldn't even be a match for a mid-level Fused Warrior. That's why, as Ling Xi said, the Thousand-Man Herrscher mainly destroy our facilities. As long as we maintain high-intensity vigilance and screening in these facilities, the Thousand-Man Herrscher won't be able to sneak in!"

"Furthermore, we can deliberately release false information to mislead the Thousand-Man Herrscher the beginning, making them think that we found them by other means. In this way, my plan can last for a longer period of time."

"Then this matter needs to be kept secret."

Klein also said seriously, "Because Ling Xi said that any one of us could be a Thousand-Man Herrscher, and if even one of the participants in this plan becomes a Thousand-Man Herrscher, then the plan will be completely exposed, so..."

Klein glanced at Mobius and said with utmost seriousness, "In the early stages of this plan, it's best not to inform anyone except those you can absolutely trust. Also, I suggest that the highest authority over this plan be jointly controlled by the Doctor and Prometheus!"

"Hmm... okay!"

Mobius thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then smiled at Ling Xi, asking, "So, Ling Xi, tell me, in this plan, who are the people we can absolutely trust? That shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Um... I can only name a few."

Ling Xi also thought about it for a moment. If he trusted them completely, wouldn't that guarantee that it wasn't someone from the Thousand-Man Herrscher?

However, the only people like this that they probably know are the Thirteen Flame-Chasers and some who appeared in the storyline of the Previous Era but were not the Thousand-Man Herrscher.

"Kevin, Mei, Elysia, Sakura, Ling, Seele, Danzhu, Cangxuan, Eden, Su, Thousand Calamities, Hua, that's about it. I can't guarantee the rest!"

Ling Xi basically includes all the Flame-Chasing Moths who have appeared in the story so far, plus two ancestors, and Doctor Mobius wiped out Thousand-Man Herrscher in the end in the manga. Besides them, there is only Seele who has become the Sixth Herrscher, and Rin who may become the Twelfth Herrscher in the future!

After all, it's unlikely that one person could become two Herrscher. Even the post-civilization Kiana inherited power more than they were native Herrscher!

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this list, Mobius jokingly remarked, "You didn't even include Klein?"

"Heh, Klein already knew, so is there any need to call him out again?"

Ling Xi smiled helplessly. Although Klein's future had not been explained before he transmigrated, the possibility of Klein was probably not high. After all, Klein now had nearly 1,000 HW of Honkai Energy Adaptability. With the power of Thousand-Man Herrscher, it would not affect Klein at all!

So how could Klein possibly be the Tenth Herrscher?

"Yeah, that's true..."

Mobius was just joking, then said to Klein, "Klein, did you hear that? When you're looking for people in the early stages, just follow the list. However, you can rule out Thousand Calamities; that guy is too dangerous and he definitely can't keep this secret. As for the rest... apart from Mebius, you can decide for yourself."

Klein "..."

Klein glanced at the list, then sighed. Although there were more than ten people on the list, many of them could be eliminated immediately, so what remained was...

Elysia, Ying, Ling Xi, Seele, Danzhu, Cangxuan, Eden, Hua...

However, Elysia and Sakura can be ruled out, since they're too busy. Seele and Rin can also be ruled out, as they're not capable enough. Finally...

Ling Xi, Hua, Eden, Danzhu Cangxuan...

"By the way, why is Ling Xi so optimistic about Hua?"

Klein looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity and said, "Hua's stats seem too mediocre. Even though she made great contributions during the Eighth Herrscher battle, she still hasn't awakened her Hypervariable Factor, so she's still just a pseudo- Fused Warrior, and..."

"Even with Hua's management skills, he shouldn't be able to handle this matter!"

"Forehead..."

When Klein asked this, Ling Xi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Klein, I don't know how to explain other things, but I can guarantee one thing: Hua is absolutely trustworthy, and her future will definitely not be ordinary. In short..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "You can ask Hua for help with this matter. I believe she won't let you down."

"Ugh... okay."

Hearing Ling Xi's words, Klein said nothing more. Although she didn't trust Hua, she trusted Ling Xi, so... Klein would naturally trust anyone Ling Xi recommended, and...

Compared to people like Mobius and Elysia, who enjoy knowing the truth, Klein's greatest characteristic is that he never asks questions. Whether it's an order from Mobius or Ling Xi, if they tell him to do it, he will do it without ever asking why, unless...

I really couldn't resist!

"Oh, right, Klein!"

Finally, Ling Xi added a little more, saying, "The Thousand-Man Herrscher didn't all appear at once, but one after another. And the first Thousand-Man Herrscher might... I mean, might... she works in our research institute's cafeteria, she's a blonde female chef, and her abilities..."

After a moment's thought, Ling Xi looked at Klein again and said seriously, "It should be that she manipulates the air to refract light and make her body transparent, which is one of the powers of the Herrscher of Wind. And the target of her attack... is Doctor Mobius!"

Chapter 406: Senior Sister, let's go on a date after we defeat the Tenth Herrscher...

"Um?"

Hearing Ling Xi's words, Klein looked at Ling Xi with some surprise. "Wait, the Tenth Herrscher hasn't even appeared yet, how do you already know who the Tenth Herrscher is?"

"Klein, trust me. If you want to know more, I can explain it to you later!"

Since she had chosen to trust Klein, Ling Xi didn't mind telling Klein about the Thousand-Man Herrscher. After all... the first Thousand-Man Herrscher was targeting Mei, and if something happened to Mei because of her, humanity would be in even more trouble. So...

Ling Xi felt it necessary to remind Klein, after all, for humanity, Doctor Mobius and Mobius were equally important, or even more so!

"I see."

However, Klein simply nodded silently, without asking any further questions. Then, while tapping the holographic imaging system, he said, "Woman, blonde, chef... Ling Xi, are any of these people your target?"

Female, blonde, chef—using these keywords, Klein has found seventeen people in the remaining nine research institutes of the Flame-Chasing Moths that match Ling Xi's description. Among them, five people in the headquarters research institute match the description!

"I don't know about that."

Ling Xi shook her head and said, "Besides, my information isn't absolutely accurate either. But Klein, you should still try to keep an eye on them. After all, whether it's the Doctor or May, they are the most important beings to humanity."

"I know."

Klein nodded again and said, "I have specifically assigned people to keep an eye on these seventeen people, and the five people in the headquarters research institute will pay extra attention."

"Yes, I trust you to handle things."

Ling Xi smiled at Klein. After all, Klein was indeed the most reliable person in the entire research institute. Well... apart from the Eden concert tickets, she almost messed things up that time.

Afterwards, Mobius sent the two away because she still had experiments to complete, while Ling Xi went to Klein's lab and chatted with her for a while. Of course, the main topic was the information and details she had obtained regarding the Tenth Herrscher. In short...

The goal is to reduce Klein's workload as much as possible. After all, when Klein worked overtime before, I would at most sigh, but now Klein is my wife, so of course I have to try my best to give her some rest time.

So, I'll help out with whatever I can, even though I don't know much about the Tenth Herrscher, since the plot of the Previous Era is quite different from the original work.

"Senior sister, that's about all the information we have about the Tenth Herrscher. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now?"

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Klein was ready to get to work, and Ling Xi wisely prepared to leave, since she wouldn't be able to help Klein much with his work.

"Um..."

Klein nodded slightly, then said with a hint of embarrassment, "Sorry, Ling Xi, I'll probably be quite busy lately, so..."

"It doesn't matter."

Ling Xi interrupted Klein directly, and said with a smile, "Senior sister, just do what you think is right."

"Um... thank you."

Klein smiled and said, "Ling Xi, how about this... after I've settled my work, shall we go out for a stroll? Although right now... there probably isn't much to see outside."

"OK!"

Ling Xi immediately nodded and smiled, "Then it's settled. After you finish your work, let's go out for a stroll."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Klein nodded decisively. Although she and Ling Xi... could be said to have gotten together quite inexplicably, they almost never spent time alone together, especially when going out together. She also felt that it was somewhat inappropriate!

So, she planned to spend some time with Ling Xi when she had some free time, although... Ling Xi might not need it.

"Then, senior sister, I won't bother you any longer."

Having said what needed to be said, Ling Xi was ready to leave, since staying would only affect Klein's work efficiency.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I can handle the rest myself!"

Klein didn't try to stop her; she just wanted to finish the task quickly so she could find time to go on a date with Ling Xi, after all...

Whether it was Doctor or someone else, all the girls around Ling Xi had accompanied Ling Xi, but she herself had never experienced it, and she always felt that she was being taken advantage of!

"Well then, senior sister, bye-bye..."

Ling Xi gave Klein a light kiss, then immediately ran away...

"Hmm..."

Klein didn't react until Ling Xi had left the room. He touched his lips, a smile on his face, and said, "Okay, let's get to work!"

Klein then began his work in a good mood, targeting... the plan against the Thousand-Man Herrscher!

"Haaaaaah..."

As Ling Xi walked out of Klein's office, Ling Xi yawned and prepared to go to the training ground to kill time. There was no way around it; with the Honkai becoming more and more frequent, her wives were all very busy. Doctor and Klein, needless to say, were always like this.

As for Elysia and Sakura, from the moment they became the Holy Fusion Warrior in Elysia's words, it was destined to be anything but easy. After all, the two of them, along with the three strongest in the human camp at the beginning, without exception, could be considered the three giants of the Fused Warrior...
