"Well... that's true, but..."

Ling Xi smiled helplessly and said, "We have to consider Wendy's opinion, right?"

"What are you pretending for?"

Mobius said irritably, "Don't think I don't know what you've been doing with Wendy in secret. It's only a matter of time before you get her."

At this point, Mobius sighed and said seriously, "Anyway, you should get this sorted out as soon as possible. After all... I don't think you want her to become a second Seele, do you?"

Chapter 703 Hmm? Seele is really pregnant?

In the end, Ling Xi had no choice but to accept Mobius's opinion, and she even went to find Seele, who was on good terms with Wendy, and also told Black Seele.

As for the result...

Although Wendy has only been here for three years, three years is not a short time. Plus, Ling Xi brought her back, preventing her from those experiments, and Ling Xi's taken good care of her all these years...

In fact, Wendy had had this idea for a long time, but she didn't dare to express it because she was worried about some issues.

Then, with the deliberate cooperation of Mobius and Seele, Ling Xi easily won over Wendy, with almost no difficulty whatsoever...

After all, Wendy had been raised for three years, so this was somewhat a natural progression.

Then, Mobius encouraged Ling Xi to win over Kiana's cousin, Anna of the Saniat Family. After all, that girl was going to be the future Herrscher of Ice, so why not take this opportunity to get her first...

As for Anna, because of Ling Xi's deliberate interference, she has always stayed at the Schicksal Headquarters and is in Cheng Lixue's Snow Pear Squad. So, if nothing unexpected happens, she will most likely not encounter the Manila Great Honkai in the future!

Ling Xi only thought about it briefly before decisively agreeing. Since Wendy had already accepted it, she figured Anna might as well accept it too, after all...

Ling Xi didn't want Anna to have any further contact with Night Owl. Although the World Serpent had now merged into the Schicksal Flame-Chasing Moths, the [World Will] was a complicated matter!

However, since the Ice Herrscher Core has not yet been created, the method used against Wendy is naturally unavailable.

Then there's the sixth Herrscher of Death, though Herrscher of Death didn't appear in the original story. However, Ling Xi and Mobius both felt it must be Seele, so there's no need to worry about Seele.

Next is the Herrscher of Flame. In the original work, the Herrscher of Flame is Kiana who inherited Himeko's will and thus became the Herrscher of Flamescion. However, in this timeline, the Flame Herrscher Core has existed within Sirin's body since the Second Honkai sixteen years ago, so...

Strictly speaking, Sirin is the Herrscher of Flame of this era.

A brief introduction to the Eighth Herrscher... um...

Speaking of which, it seems that Xiao Shi was a Herrscher consciousness that was directly parachuted into the Immortal by Honkai God. I wonder if this timeline has changed. If it has, then all is well; the current human lineup could definitely beat it to a pulp. If it hasn't changed...

So... Immortal the current peak strength of the Immortal, wouldn't attacking the Shi Bao be like a father beating his son?

Besides, although he did fire many shots at the Immortal, he couldn't possibly hold a pistol to the Immortal's head, say "I'm not lying," and then shoot, could he? Is this some kind of murder-for-him-to-prove-the-path?

The Ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Rock, Night Owl, whose real name is Chen Tianwu, was absorbed by the Herrscher of Ice, Anna, after sacrificing herself in the original work, thus becoming the Herrscher of Rimestar. However, in this timeline, Anna is already one of his own, so Night Owl shouldn't be so sycophantic, right?

In short, if the Herrscher of Rock appears and is an enemy, then just kill her.

As for the tenth Thousand-Man Herrscher, or the Herrscher of Domination, needless to say, they were simply slaughtered.

However, the next two might be a bit tricky.

In the original work Herrscher of Restraint was seemingly blocked by a bug in Otto's abilities. As for the Herrscher of Corruption, let alone the future Corrosion Herrscher, even the Herrscher of Corruption from the Previous Era hasn't been completely defeated yet. Although the Doctor said the chance of successfully defeating it is 90%, Sakura thinks that the chance is still too low, so...

Sakura is willing to wait until the success rate is 100%.

It's been half a month since I returned home. In this past week, Wendy and Anna have both been won over by Ling Xi. Meanwhile, Crimson Seele continues to enhance her Honkai Energy every day and likes to go to Mobius's laboratory every few days to test her Honkai Energy status.

After all, having experienced the events of her Previous Era life, she has lived two lives, so she now values her own strength very much.

Not only does he increase his Honkai Energy every day, but he also trains with Rita. As for why he likes to train with Rita...

Well, maybe it's because Crimson Seele finds the scythe more convenient to use?

"Doctor, how were the results today?"

That day, Crimson Seele came to Mobius's laboratory again, ready to see how much Honkai Energy she had increased in the past few days. At least... forty or fifty.

"Hmm... not bad. Honkai Energy Adaptability has exceeded 2500hw, which is 20 points more than three days ago."

Mobius glanced at the test results casually; they were fine, entirely within his expectations.

"Hey... how come there's only so little? It's not enough at all..."

Crimson Seele pursed her lips, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with the result.

"It's already pretty good, okay?"

Mobius smiled helplessly, "Don't forget that you are now Herrscher with the Death Herrscher Core, while Ling Xi's Honkai Energy strength is only a little over 3,000. The fact that he can still enhance your Honkai Energy Adaptability is already quite remarkable."

Mobius hadn't forgotten Ling Xi's mechanism for enhancing Honkai Energy. The greater the difference in their ideas, the higher the efficiency. However, when the Honkai Energy strength of both sides became infinitely close, the efficiency would naturally become slower and slower.

If it were an ordinary person with almost zero Honkai Energy Adaptability, Ling Xi could easily charge five or six points at once, or even ten points, but...

For someone like Elysia, who has already exceeded 3000hw, let alone charging, even if Elysia really drank that stuff like milk tea and drank ten extra-large cups, her Honkai Energy limit probably wouldn't increase by a single bit!

Unless Ling Xi's Honkai Energy intensity can be increased further, although that is indeed possible, but...

That's something that can only be done when entering Herrscher form. Mobius didn't want Ling Xi to be surrounded by either lightning or flames when he came into contact with Ling Xi. Such performance art seemed too early for him!

"Alright..."

Crimson Seele couldn't really say anything about this, but... since the efficiency per attempt has decreased, then... she'll just increase the number of attempts. Although, there seem to be quite a few people around lately, the key is that she still has to give way to Wendy for the sake of the Doctor's plan...

"Alright, Seele, if there's nothing else, you can go back now... pfft"

As Mobius flipped through Seele's data, she was about to suggest that Crimson Seele could go back when she suddenly noticed a line of data that looked a bit unusual...

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

Seeing Mobius suddenly fall silent, Crimson Seele became somewhat curious.

Mobius "..."

At this moment, Mobius didn't want to answer Seele's question. All she wanted to do was yell, "Damn it, what the hell?"

Because the abnormal data shown on the test report was [hcg], and the number after that... exceeded 10,000 again!

Hmm, that's strange, why did I say "again"?

Chapter 704 Another Seele...

"Seele ..."

Mobius took a deep breath and then smiled, "Have you... been feeling anything unusual lately?"

"A strange feeling?"

Crimson Seele touched her chin slightly and said, "No, I eat well and sleep well. In fact, after traveling with Ling Xi, I feel that my appetite has increased even more than before."

Hearing this, Mobius was completely certain of his guess. After all, the data was there, and Crimson Seele's behavior perfectly matched his prediction. This situation gave Mobius a sense of déjà vu...

"Seele, come here, let's do another test..."

With a rigorous attitude, Mobius decided to conduct another specialized test on Seele.

"Okay, sure."

Although Crimson Seele also wanted to go home quickly to play with Ling Xi and Seele, she still listened to Mobius more.

"Klein!"

Mobius called out to Klein, preparing to ask Klein to help with the testing.

"Here you are, Doctor. What are your orders?"

Klein remained the same as always. Although her knowledge was now completely independent, she still preferred to stay by Mobius's side, serving as Doctor assistant and tool.

However, even with Klein's help now, Klein still feels like he has endless work to do every day. Sure enough...

In the Previous Era, the Doctor seemed to be already restraining his research desires quite a bit.

"Look..."

Mobius handed the test report directly to Klein, and circled the HCG section.

"Huh?"

Klein immediately shocked. Could it be that his Doctor was finally going to lay an egg? But then he saw the name...

Seele?

Klein: "..." Good grief, it's you again?

Klein looked at Crimson Seele with some hesitation. It seemed that what happened to Crimson Seele in the Previous Era was not an accident but something inevitable.

Otherwise, how do you explain why, for so many years, especially for Fu Hua and Cheng Lixue, and even the Yae Sakura sisters, there has been no movement whatsoever, yet Crimson Seele...

Previous Era, the infection was detected after about a month of being with Ling Xi. Furthermore, based on the timeline, Crimson Seele likely contracted the virus within a week of Ling Xi pushing Seele. In other words...

Crimson Seele is the kind of character you get in one shot!

If it were only about the Previous Era Crimson Seele incident, then perhaps it could be considered an unexpected coincidence, but...

This time, it's Crimson Seele again, and based on the timing, it should be another one-shot kill.

"Let's do a detailed test."

Mobius didn't give Klein, and said directly, "Although the data is unlikely to be wrong, we must be rigorous. Let's conduct a special test on Seele immediately."

"Yes, Doctor!"

Klein also took this order very seriously. After all, his Doctor had long wanted to study Crimson Seele and find out why Crimson Seele could succeed. However, the Previous Era was gone before they could study Crimson Seele, and Crimson Seele has never appeared in the current civilization!

Now that Crimson Seele has finally appeared, and she's even carrying a ball, we have to take her seriously!

"Wait... what... what happened to me?"

Seeing the way Mobius and Klein looked so alarmed, Crimson Seele panicked. Could it be... that she had some kind of terminal illness?

Wait a minute, I'm Herrscher, and the Herrscher of Death who controls creation and decay. How could I possibly have a terminal illness? Isn't that ridiculous?

"Hmm..."

Mobius said somewhat unhappily, "It's nothing, it's just... Seele, you're pregnant."

"Huh?"

Crimson Seele was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and asked with a look of surprise, "I'm pregnant again?"

Mobius: "..." Fine, fine, but why the hell did you have to add another word? Who are you looking down on?

"If the test results are correct, then it's true, but..."

Although Klein was somewhat annoyed, he patiently said, "We need to conduct further specialized tests on you to ensure that this is not a result of a testing error."

"Yes, no problem."

Hearing this, Crimson Seele was overjoyed. It's just a test, right? Come on, take the test! I'll eat my hat if you even frown.

At this moment, Crimson Seele was extremely excited and happy, but even more so, she was filled with surprise...

I never expected that what I lost back then would come back, and moreover...

Crimson Seele thinks... is it really that hard to have a baby? Isn't it just a simple matter?

Subsequently, Mobius and Klein conducted a very rigorous examination of Seele, even using scanning tools. Although they couldn't detect the target location, they could clearly see that Seele's internal structure had changed, so...

The answer is already very obvious: Seele... has indeed conceived another child with Ling Xi!

At this point, the Doctor was clearly jealous, though not to the point of plasmolysis, but...

It's so sour! Why is it that this girl can always get it on the first try, while I've never had any reaction all these years?

Furthermore, if Seele comes first, then this little guy will be the eldest son, the future emperor...

Cough cough, no, I mean, as Ling Xi's first wife, the absolute rightful wife, not only did we get our marriage certificate, but it was also the first time I was with Ling Xi. Yet, in the end, the first kill went to Seele, and...

Crimson Seele got it twice, with a difference of over 55,000 years, which is equivalent to letting us and others have it for so many years. And what was the result? In the end, she didn't even have a single one who could fight. Is that all?

"Whoosh..."

However, although Mobius felt bitter, he still had to do what he had to do. He looked at her very seriously and said, "Seele, from today onwards, you should stop messing around with Ling Xi. Because she is our family's first child, and very likely our only child, so... we can't afford any accidents."

Although this is Seele's baby, Mobius cares about it just as much, perhaps even more than he would care about it if he had one in the future, of course, provided that he can have one in the future!

After all, the appearance of this child already proves that there must be some kind of connection between Seele and Ling Xi, so...

Protecting Seele and ensuring the safe birth of Seele and Ling Xi's child is the most important task at present, and it will also be an important clue for Mobius to investigate why he could not succeed in the future.

"Okay, I understand..."
