Chapter 124

If the scope of the opponent's influence hadn't been so large, Aponia wouldn't have been able to break free of the opponent's contamination in an instant.

If the other party doesn't act alone and attacks the whole world, Moyuli wouldn't be arrested like a wild Honkai Beast, thus becoming a wedge that locks down the Herrscher.

"Where is his Companion Beast?"

No one answered; An Yu's Companion Beast was nowhere to be found.

Knock knock knock!

A sudden knock on the door startled Einstein, who, having gathered her thoughts, opened it. She glanced around the room and brought news that was hard to define as good or bad.

"Hua was judged to be a sub -Herrscher, or rather, Pseudo-Herrscher, with the ability of knowledge."

At this moment, Einstein was simply reporting news, but the atmosphere in the meeting room was steadily dropping to freezing point.

"Where is An Yu?"

Elysia's voice was very soft, and there was hardly any urgency in it; she already knew the answer.

"There was no trace of it."

Einstein shook his head.

Then she sat at the end, her eyes equally gloomy. "So, what can we do now?"

Einstein didn't know, but because of some confident guy, he, who had always been reclusive and indifferent to important matters, had indeed become a clever tool for the Herrscher, and this felt terrible.

What can you do ≥ Si Ling 4sn%~search∩': What...

Elysia looked at the others. Good, no one suggested killing Hua.

Aponia had considered this future, but it was just a dream... There was no need to make things unpleasant in reality; there was always next time.

It's just a pity, a real shame about Elysia's Noah's Ark.

Mei didn't speak; she knew she couldn't follow the enemy's answer. She was waiting, waiting for Mobius to speak.

Mobius looked up, his face grim, and stated the answer, "Honkai Beast are silicon-based, so the mortality rate has never been effectively controlled."

"Then let's do it," Mei replied instantly.

Fusion Warrior weren't originally the kind where one Honkai Beast could be used by several people. Although Fusion Warrior are often criticized as genetically modified warriors, the process involved is completely different.

One approach is to fuse from the very beginning, allowing them to develop gradually; the other is to fuse at the complete stage, forcibly fusing two individuals that no longer have much potential for development. This is certainly not something that can be done simply by taking a segment of genes; it's more like a replacement or overwriting.

This was a very long process, even taking several days between the initial two machines. It was only after the technology became more advanced that the time was shortened to about ten hours.

Just like the most typical example of Shesha, the lie-filled Great Freedom Heaven by Elysia, and Vishnu, the success of a Fusion Warrior is often accompanied by the complete defeat of a Honkai Beast.

This is precisely why the second project, Met-Morph, emerged.

The word "met" means "morph," a very simple and direct name, like a caterpillar breaking free of its cocoon to become a butterfly, or a tadpole growing into a frog.

This plan is not as simple and straightforward as it was initially, but it may also remain unchanged for a lifetime, remaining a caterpillar or tadpole for life.

Therefore, the Metamorphosis Project can indeed distribute a powerful Honkai Beast to more people, but often those who are given this talent will never awaken it in their lifetime.

The probability is far less than one-sixth, because Hua's suicide squad lost five members before Hua awakened, and without Hua, the probability would have continued to decrease.

"Elysia?"

Aponia touched Elysia's arm, and the arm, which had been trembling slightly, gradually calmed down.

No one spoke up or urged anyone in the zero-conference room, since the goddess was ultimately the one who made the decision.

5. "Elysia, Hua is Herrscher, and the Seventh Herrscher, Himeko, you have personally verified that Herrscher cannot be persuaded."

Mei gently reassured the other party, her logic being simple: she would not grant human rights to her enemies.

"You don't need to get involved in this. If anyone makes accusations later, I will take full responsibility."

Mei's voice was resolute; reputation no longer mattered to her.

The Seventh Herrscher proved the destructive nature of the Herrscher. As the Companion Beast of the Eighth Herrscher, Hua is completely unnecessary to trust from a risk control perspective.

Finding the Eighth Herrscher requires the other party's help, even if it's not voluntary.

Elysia's hair was a mess from scratching her fingers. She looked up at the others.

"What if Huaneng is persuaded?"

Mei emphasized slightly, "Elysia, this is completely unnecessary to verify. As long as we don't open the box, we don't need to know whether the cat is alive or dead in this incident."

"What did Kehua do wrong?"

"We don't need to think about this now; she's a companion Herrscher."

Elysia clutched her head, seemingly back to her initial question.

By sacrificing just one innocent person chosen by fate in the story, she can save the 'five geniuses,' and this time, she can even save the entire world.

"If you don't like this approach, then after this incident, I will personally atone with my death."

Mei spoke again, her voice pressing.

Volume 1: Chapter 186-184 Elysia Chooses to Give Up This Round

When Elysia returned home, the room, which should have been dark, was lit.

Didn't I turn off the lights?

She pushed open the door, and the sight that met her eyes stunned her. The once neat and cozy living room was now a mess, with all sorts of intricate parts she couldn't name scattered all over the floor, as if a small explosion had occurred.

Elysia bent down, her fingertips touching a cold, hard piece of metal— Soulium.

Her gaze swept past the chaos and landed in the center of the living room. An Yu was sitting leisurely on the only relatively clean sofa, holding a half-eaten apple.

"Did Vill-V teach you how to dismantle the Divine Key?"

Elysia's feelings were indescribably complicated, with a hint of secret joy. Finally, finally, she didn't have to make that decision.

She will have plenty of time to deal with Hua's situation afterward; all she needs to do is win.

"The four cores—Void, Ice, Flame, and Consciousness—truly gave me a feeling of invincibility; I don't deny it."

An Yu shook the apple core in her hand, her tone relaxed.

Elysia squinted, wondering if it was just her imagination, but she felt that An Yu wasn't giving her much pressure at the moment. Wasn't he a quad-core?

An Yu placed the remaining apples aside. "I thought you would let Hua go. After all, aside from being forcibly used by me, she is subjectively an innocent child who couldn't be more innocent than anyone else. Locking her up in the Deepest Place is enough."

The Honkai energy that had been solidified and surrounding Elysia suddenly froze, as if it had let out a sigh of relief.

"What's the meaning?"

Her voice trembled slightly. They weren't children anymore, and she understood what the Herrscher was saying.

"That's a smart move. Since you're still hesitating, all the decisions are made by others, and you won't be the one to take the blame."

An Yu walked to the window, her back to her.

"Of course, that's actually quite correct. You are a goddess, the key figure who will pilot Noah's Ark, and you cannot have any blemishes on your record."

"And thinking about it carefully, I shouldn't have chosen Hua either. After all, the birth of the Seventh Herrscher is closely related to her. Although she was under my control, she didn't cause you any trouble for too long."

An Yu stretched, thinking, "If my older sister is improving this fast, in reality... I have a feeling she's about to pull something. My innocent and cute older sister is the easiest to fool."

Anyway, I don't expect my older sister to figure out this dream, so let her have her fun. I just hope she can enjoy it in the dream.

Where is Hua now?

Elysia's voice turned serious again, and she put the coat she had just thrown aside back on.

An Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "About 12 kilometers to the southeast."

Elysia ignored him and quickly disappeared from sight. It was hard to say whether it was the trust she had built up from the previous encounters or her arrogant trust in An Yu.

An Yu blinked. So, sis, you really didn't know about this?

"Go for it! My dear Goddess Sister!"

That's... not bad, after all, it's better for my older sister to be a little slow.

As for what An Yu is going to do now, he needs to adjust the launch direction of the Fifth Divine Key. Damn it, he really doesn't understand how to disassemble the Fifth Divine Key!

He didn't even understand how to disassemble the Second Divine Key; he originally thought it was similar to the Sixth Divine Key.

The Sixth Divine Key is a lance, the second is a locomotive, and the fifth is a heavy ground-based weapon. This is not even close to the difficulty level.

"I really underestimated Vill-V's talent. Let's cooperate again next time. Such an easy-to-fool all-around genius is even rarer than Mobius."

An Yu wasn't idle either; he went to the First Laboratory in the last few hours, and now the First Laboratory should be wide open.

Okay, no, the professor didn't actually participate in the final stages.

"Oh, the adorable, sinister doctor? You didn't even participate in the upcoming Fusion Warrior surgery?" Jiu

"I was wondering why the surgery wasn't being performed in the First Laboratory." (Temple)

An Yu approached with a grin, looking at the green-haired girl sitting at the lab table, seemingly unmoved by all the noise.

Mobius remained silent, and even the arrival of the Herrscher didn't elicit much of a reaction from her.

"Law, Herrscher!" (Part 3)

Klein's heart was pounding! But the Doctor remained calm.

"That's really awful."

Mobius murmured softly.

After leaving the meeting room, she kept thinking about one thing: could this be considered as succumbing to reality, completely submitting to human nature and the answer given by the Herrscher for a better future?

She could even comfort herself by saying that she didn't have the surgery done, and she couldn't stop it, just like her deceased father, whose personality was completely changed by the 'drugs,' and that everything was beyond her control.

"What are you doing here? Killing Elysia now would be the most beneficial thing for you."

She turned her head, her snake-like eyes coldly fixed on An Yu.

"No need. After your numerous modifications, the Fifth Divine Key, combined with the Seventh Herrscher Core, is already capable of exceeding its limits."

" With the Fifth Divine Key beyond its limit, Elysia wouldn't survive. She might even choose to endure it to save others, ultimately dying at her most dashing moment."

An Yu sat to the side, speaking in a relaxed tone.

Mobius was even more puzzled.

But what brings you here?

"Let's make a deal, Doctor, or rather, Professor Mobius," An Yu extended an invitation.

Professor... Mobius still doesn't know why he's called Professor, but Elysia and Kevin Aponia are used to calling him that.

Indeed, the Herrscher and the three of them share a common origin in some sense.

"What transaction?"

"I'll tell you how to mock Vill-V when we get back. You just need to keep an eye on things in the group chat for me, and also help the doctor maintain the lie that I didn't know about the dream."

Mobius's mind is a mess, what are you talking about?

Ah?

What are you babbling about?

Can you please use something that humans can understand?

An Yu didn't explain much; he came here simply to maintain his image in the group.

After reading Kevin's memories, he discovered that the Loving Family was truly full of talented people.

Mobius's image, in particular, was... reliable?

It's still more reliable than Vill-V.

What can I get in return?

Mobius suddenly spoke.

"I'll add you to our small group to discuss the truth of reality," An Yu said, offering a tempting offer.

Mobius:...

My contact information is xxx...

An Yu patiently explained, "Let me repeat myself, my contact information is xxx..."

Mobius:...
