Chapter 98

Himeko quickly calmed her voice, and even her expression returned to normal before Elysia turned her head.

Elysia suddenly choked up, realizing that they were indeed not familiar with each other at the moment.

"Would you believe me if I said we were very close in another world?" Elysia asked with a smile, as if it were a joke.

I believe it.

Himeko spoke softly, her enthusiasm gone, and Elysia even sensed a subtle difference in her tone for a moment.

But turning around, Himeko still seemed just as enthusiastic.

"I didn't expect our goodwill to be so high that you're willing to believe even such absurd-sounding words."

"Himeko, you're the best!" Elysia with a smile, hugging the other's arm.

Chatting with Himeko always feels very comfortable; it's as if she's tolerant of all my thoughts.

"By the way, Elysia," Himeko said, her expression unchanged but revealing a hint of curiosity, "You're looking for him. What are you planning to do?"

Yes, if you were the first person in my life, An Yu was so tolerant of you, what would you do after you met?

Himeko tightened her grip slightly, but reason told her that An Yu wouldn't lie to her; she simply couldn't beat Elysia.

"What to do?" Elysia narrowed her eyes, her smile fading from her face, her voice as calm as still water. "Kill him."

Himeko:?

She slowly typed a question mark. "You described it in such detail, and your smile was so genuine and natural. You're telling me you're planning to kill him?"

As if sensing Himeko's confusion... well, Himeko's confusion was written all over her face.

Elysia spoke softly, "He's in danger here, and he lacks humanity. For him, a promise is far more important than the survival of humanity."

"I really want to talk to him, to make him believe in humanity and in our efforts, but I haven't been able to find him."

An Yu, who didn't travel with you from the beginning, is a high-risk individual who absolutely cannot be ignored.

Just like in the previous dreams, the other party disappeared without a trace before the Honkai occurred.

Himeko was still in a daze when they parted. When she returned to her apartment, there were already people inside... though their daily life was no different from that of a dead person.

"An Yu, how come your clothes are stained with so much paint!" she exclaimed in surprise.

An Yu is someone who hates trouble. After all, having spent so many years together, Himeko has figured out his habits quite well.

How could An Yu possibly have gotten fuel all over her clothes?

"That's what Griseo did."

An Yu lowered her head and went back inside to change her clothes.

Speaking of Griseo, that's a familiar name. She's also in the "Love and Affection" family, but the Griseo here is ridiculously younger.

"She has a good talent for painting."

Of course, this doesn't apply if we're not comparing it to monsters.

"You care about her a lot?" Himeko asked softly.

An Yu could never be a lolicon, because Himeko herself grew up from the age of eight. If she were younger, she would be considered a child and would be executed.

"It's very simple. The First Laboratory currently only has two employees. As the owner, Mobius has an excellent relationship with Blanca, and the only employee Klein, was recommended by Blanca."

"Besides, Griseo and Elysia have a good relationship, so I can get a lot of useful information from them. After all... children speak without thinking."

An Yu doesn't mind having multiple part-time jobs, as long as they are useful.

He now has a near-complete understanding of the Stigmata Project: Variant, and his feelings towards the Stigmata Primarch, Elysia, are quite complex.

However, he was equally curious about the other plans, so he decided not to comment on Elysia's identity as the original Stigmata for the time being.

"It's... Elysia again..."

Himeko fell silent, her voice slightly hoarse. "You really care about Elysia."

"Because she really has the ability to disrupt things," An Yu readily admitted.

Of course, there's also Kevin, but Kevin became stronger through surgery. An Yu plans to learn all the information about this surgery before showing off to them.

When they evolve together, Kevin will revert to his original vulnerable and easily bullied self.

"Is that really... all there is to it?"

Himeko seemed unusually stubborn today. Instead of suppressing her emotions as usual, she strode up to An Yu and stared intently into his eyes.

She wanted to see if An Yu's true nature was indifference or gentleness, and whether Elysia's behavior was fake or if he was genuinely too lazy to deal with her!

"Otherwise what?" An Yu retorted.

"You've never even played the violin for me!!!"

Himeko practically screamed it out; her pent-up grievances and discontent had finally found an outlet.

An Yu:...

Is this child having a seizure?

"You've never taken me with you when you race?"

She continued questioning, her eyes slightly red.

An Yu:...

Oh, so she reconciled accounts with Elysia?

But Elysia is the older sister, and you're just an adopted kid.

"An Yu, you've never treated me like family!"

Himeko's pent-up resentment, suppressed for years, finally erupted. What's so great about Elysia? She's got a great figure too! And Himeko is smart and has good grades.

You can't think being stupid is a virtue!

An Yu was unusually stunned for a long time at this point. We're not even on the same household registration book, okay? When I registered your household in Divine Land, we were registered separately. Who said we're family?

Besides, I raised you and even gave you a house in Divine Land. You should owe me something, right?

Seeing An Yu remain silent, Himeko sniffed and sneered.

"What if Elysia appears at the door the next moment?" She pointed outside.

"And if I become Herrscher, who would you choose?"

An Yu:...

He couldn't hold back for a moment; logically, these two options didn't seem to make any difference.

I need an answer!!!

Himeko persisted, her voice trembling slightly with agitation.

She probably already guessed the answer: her parents didn't care about her, and An Yu couldn't even be bothered to give her a perfunctory reply!

But on what grounds!

An Yu spoke softly, her words slow. "Here, I will kill Elysia."

"But, only here."

"Also, you lost your composure."

P. S. This is a friend's blog post; the theme is somewhat retro.

<Broken Iron Chat Group, Execute Cyrene Thousands of Times at the Start>

Volume 1: Chapter 145 144 Ah, how cold and evil!

An Yu still didn't pay much attention to Himeko's feelings. He didn't even understand what Himeko was angry about... He had heard that Himeko was a very easygoing and carefree senior, definitely not someone who was petty and stingy like this.

Perhaps he was wrong.

Himeko and he were never the same kind of people from beginning to end.

If he were adopted by such a cold and heartless person from childhood, taught to learn, and had his food, clothing, and shelter taken care of, he would definitely become the other person's most efficient partner, making both of them comfortable.

Moreover, communicating with this kind of person is very simple. Everyone simply explains their own situation, helps each other when needed, and goes about their own business when not. It's simple and efficient.

[Himeko and the other person stood in the living room for a long time, watching SN An Yu as always, glancing at her once and then never looking back; she had indeed lost her composure.]

[It must be admitted that Elysia and An Yu do have a very good relationship in some aspects.]

However, in a sense, this relationship means that Elysia once grasped An Yu's Achilles' heel.

[While it's certainly not like in novels where touching a certain part of her body would make her instantly weak and unable to resist, An Yu definitely has her own vulnerabilities.]

[She didn't continue to pester An Yu; it was pointless. Of course, their daily interactions were still necessary.]

[An Yu wasn't idle; he continued to strengthen his relationship with Mobius, and as he studied, he gradually became able to understand Mobius's papers.]

Is Elysia human?

An Yu stared at the data model flowing on the lab screen and suddenly asked a question.

"Isn't she said to be a goddess?" Mobius asked calmly.

There was a hint of sarcasm, but not much. After all, Elysia hadn't listened when she advised Elysia to stay away from her, so she just assumed Alicia was human.

That's not what I meant.

An Yu's expectant gaze was genuine. Looking at the data model on the screen beside him, he wondered if the Stigmata Warriors surgery was simply a way for humans to quickly construct the Stigmata Space envisioned by Mobius using the Origin Power.

Is it possible for that person@·-⌒□+≮[∵∧□search(∨search". qun∧:: human to skip the stigmata space and directly contact the soul?

At that time, there will be no need to use the Stigmata Space for anchoring.

Unfortunately, the Herrscher of Flame was still too ordinary; ordinary power, ordinary bursts of energy.

An Yu turned around, her smile bright, "I was just thinking, if she were human, this wouldn't be the point she could merge with."

In the previous trial, I had used the power of the Herrscher of Death to analyze Elysia's Genetic Blueprint.

"Doctor, you surely understand what I mean. Elysia is a superhero, but the possibility of artificial superheroes existing in this world is absolutely true."

Mobius's lips curved upwards almost imperceptibly, then quickly suppressed it again; her voice was flippant:

"Is this young virgin fantasizing about being the main character again?"

An Yu:...

"Do you know how many people have died from this surgery? I think about human evolution every day, but luck has never been on my side."

Gradually, Mobius accepted it. This was no longer a matter of luck; Elysia's Genetic Blueprint was absolutely beyond what humans could withstand.

Her normal form can grant humans the abilities of Stigmata Warriors, Herrscher of Law, etc., but her Goddess form completely overrides the previous transformations.

Mobius studied other Herrscher, but apart from Elysia, the Herrscher themselves did not seem to possess any non-human attributes, and the core lost its spirituality after being separated from the Herrscher's body.

"But Doctor, for now, only the Honkai energy accelerate your dream."

An Yu spoke softly, and he didn't intend to ask Mobius for help.

"Therefore, Superman must appear."

"If the Herrscher's Nine Genes don't work, then we can take 3 points down, and the ones that appear with the Herrscher... 0... Honkai Beast." w'+

An Yu doesn't expect Mobius to betray humanity, so he won't be foolish enough to expect Mobius to perform the surgery for him; he will learn on his own.

Besides, Elysia's Genetic Blueprint might not be anything good either. Without the purity of the Origin Power, the Great Freedom Heaven from the previous level didn't turn into a beautiful girl.

Mobius didn't speak, silently clutching his chest.

"Humans are supposed to evolve, or are you, Doctor, also looking forward to the future Elysia spoke of?"

An Yu asked softly, her words like a needle.

As if his secret had been exposed, Mobius turned his head away.

How could I not have expectations? Humanity shouldn't be like this now.

Humanity should unite as one, which gives us the possibility of overcoming disasters. Everyone should help each other, and everyone's efforts will be rewarded accordingly. Elysia's dream can resolve 70% of her initial fantasy.

An Yu scoffed, "Oh, you cold and wicked little virgin PhD, you certainly have a vivid imagination~"

A muffled laugh came from the lab; it was Klein.

But before the two men turned their attention to her, she returned to numbing herself with work, as if her earlier smirk had been nothing but an illusion.

"But it's okay."
