Chapter 311

She is currently at her weakest point, which presents her with a golden opportunity to kill the Herrscher.

To their surprise, what came from the other side was the roar of Jackal.

"Killing her now would be a terrible waste!"

"A Herrscher, a living Herrscher, I can't wait to take her apart and see her!"

Raven cursed under his breath, "Madman."

Despite his strong disagreement with Jackal's decision, Raven still picked up Kiana and put her in the trunk.

The pickup truck headed towards the World Serpent's base, gradually disappearing into the shadows of the night.

Kiana: "Pah! What kind of hero uses hidden weapons and drugs? If you're so tough, let's have a one-on-one fight!"

At that time, she had already been hit by the Moonlight Throne and had also received the Ultimate Honkai Energy Serum from Schicksal.

Even after all this, Raven still didn't dare to have a one-on-one duel. She insisted on using World Serpent's Honkai Energy Activator before engaging in a fair and just one-on-one duel.

Raven: "I'm sorry, but for a mercenary, completing the mission is the top priority. Besides, for an assassin, this is a perfectly legitimate method."

Kiana: "Tsk! I remember that to become World Serpent executive, you need to pass the Elysian Realm Trial, right? How did you manage to let this guy slip through unnoticed?"

Elysia: "Uh... at least her determination to fight the Honkai is real."

Sakura: "Regardless of the conditions for becoming World Serpent executive, as an assassin, Miss Raven's methods are all quite ordinary."

It's just a hidden weapon, it's just drugging, it's perfectly normal.

If it were Sakura, she could even guarantee that you wouldn't even know when you were exposed to the Honkai Energy Activator or when you were knocked unconscious.

By assassination standards, Raven is not professional enough.

Jackal: "Regardless, thanks to our meticulous planning, we did capture the Herrscher of the Void, a living Herrscher, hehehe..."

Kiana: "That laugh is disgusting. Stay away from me, you cunning strategist."

Jackal: "Dog... dog head?! You brat, have you never seen anything like this before? This is a wolf! It's a wolf!"

Kiana: "Pah! Wearing a dog-head mask already makes you look like a dog, and you're still loyal to World Serpent? If you're not the dog-headed strategist, then who is?"

Jackal: "You wretched brat!"

Inside the World Serpent Base, the Jackal clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

If she weren't currently held back by the Valkyrie of Schicksal, she would definitely show this Herrscher what she's capable of.

Mobius: "Herrscher's body, and Gluttony cells... I'm becoming more and more interested in you, Miss Kiana."

Kiana: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing here again? Mobius, didn't I already draw a whole vial of blood from you?"

Mobius: "A whole tube?"

Pardofelis: "Um, I haven't gone back yet, so Sister Snake hasn't received the goods."

Furthermore, the Bishop of Schicksal said he would give her the Ultimate Honkai Energy Serum, but she hasn't seen it.

However, the Honkai Energy Serum that Teacher Himeko needed has already arrived in her hands, and she now feels more refreshed than ever before, with her physical functions returning to their peak.

Even the hidden ailments caused by Honkai Energy erosion have shown a faint trend of recovery.

Himeko Murata: "This is really a good thing, like a miracle cure for Honkai damage. It's a little heartbreaking to see it used up like this."

Theresa: "Himeko's health is the most important thing."

Himeko Murata: "Mobius, what you gave me wasn't just Honkai Energy Serum, was it? I heard Elysia mention the third-stage serum, but it doesn't have the function of curing hidden ailments."

Mobius: "Of course, I'm giving you the fourth stage."

Elysia: "There's a fourth stage? No, Mobius, you've already created the fourth stage so quickly?"

You must be joking.

The funding for the fourth phase of research hadn't even been approved yet, and the Soviet Union was already taking over the third phase of production. And the fourth phase was already out?

Mobius: "Well, it's not really a fourth stage. It's just that I added Self-Healing Virus that I specially developed to the third stage Honkai Energy Serum."

Sacrificial Virus, Type 2.

If the dosage is sufficient, it is possible to regenerate severed limbs, or even to revive someone from the brink of death.

Raiden Mei: "Mobius, you're actually being this generous?"

She's probably encountered a fake Mobius.

Mobius: "I didn't want to either, but someone made the Memory Body's dream come true."

Mobius: "As the original entity, if I don't do something, and the after-sales service is inadequate, and that person starts crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, I'll be condemned by the other Flame-Chasers."

Raiden Mei: "Thank you."

Although I don't know who Mobius was talking about, the person who cried, made a scene, and threatened suicide was definitely not myself.

Kiana: "Yay! Teacher Himeko is really recovered!"

At this moment, Kiana felt that having a vial of blood drawn didn't seem to hurt so much anymore, and even drawing a few hundred more cc wouldn't be much more painful.

Elysia: "Mobius, can your Self-Healing Virus be put into production?"

Great stuff, absolutely great stuff.

Elysia's first thought was to mass-produce it and use it in conjunction with the Honkai Energy Serum to ensure the survival of the Previous Era humans.

Mobius: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Do you know how much I paid to produce even three milliliters?!"

Suddenly, Mobius's face contorted, a mixture of heartache, resentment, and a lack of funding appearing on his expression simultaneously.

Mobius: "I spent three whole months cultivating the biological virus, used up 60% of the materials in the lab, and nearly a quarter's budget!"

Mobius: "Even so, the cost savings would only allow for three milliliters! And considering mass production, the increased mutation rate of the virus means that if one sample spoils, the entire batch would have to be reworked, exponentially increasing the difficulty!"

Elysia: "Haha, then let's forget about it."

At this point, Elysia could only manage a couple of dry laughs.

In short, it's a matter of lacking money, resources, and energy.

This thing is way too expensive. Even if there's a possibility of mass production, the initial investment would be prohibitive.

Chapter 507 Watch out for your dog head

Mobius was stomping her feet in anger in the lab. Whether it was the materials consumed in the lab or the budget saved through frugality, it was enough to make her feel bad for a long time.

Danzhu and Cang Xuan stood aside, not daring to utter a single word.

"Cang Xuan, I remember the Doctor made a green necklace before, and I think he gave it to Senior Sister Klein, right?"

Danzhu leaned close to Cang Xuan's ear and whispered something.

"I remember that the perfect form of the Self-Healing Virus is when it's green, and that gemstone on the necklace could probably hold at least three milliliters, right?"

"Do you think the PhD student might have used up all the research results from the lab's entire quarterly research budget...?"

"Shh!"

Before she could finish speaking, Cang Xuan immediately covered Danzhu's mouth, afraid that she would continue to speak recklessly.

"Is this something you can say out loud?! Or do you want the doctor to silence you?"

"Absolutely not!"

Danzhu realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly shook his head.

This matter must remain a secret no matter what!

The two immediately sat up straight, staring at the system screen, acting as if they were invisible.

In the scene, Kiana's consciousness is plunged into darkness, her vision is completely black, as if she is in a dream where reality and illusion are indistinguishable in countless dark nights, immersed in a bottomless abyss.

Pitch black, cold, hollow—she swam desperately upwards, gasping for breath.

As her consciousness gradually returned, Kiana realized that she had been subjected to torture and experiments.

She still has unfinished tasks and unfulfilled goals, and she cannot simply let herself fall into a deep sleep.

Cough cough cough!

After a violent coughing fit, Kiana slowly opened her eyes.

Her hands and feet were bound, and she was in a sealed experimental chamber where Jackal were conducting various experiments on her remotely.

"Very good, Herrscher of the Void. In that test just now, you only fainted for a third of a second."

"Your body is simply a miracle. Ha, it seems like no matter what I do to her, she always recovers perfectly."

The Jackal's voice was filled with excitement, as if the girl before him was not a powerful Herrscher, but a toy that he could control at will.

Kiana asked, "How many people will survive your experiments, the experiments in Sky-Piercing City?"

"Do you care about the number of deaths? I thought that for the Herrscher of the Void, the number of deaths was as meaningless as the crumbs on the table after dinner."

"Jackal said in a cold voice."

"If I have the answer, I will definitely tell you, as long as you can still hear my voice then."

"The next project: the connection and reaction between the Herrscher Core and physiological tissues."

As the Jackal finished speaking, several cold wires extended from the experimental equipment and tightly bound Kiana's body.

"Ah!!!"

Kiana screamed, her body trembling.

On the other side of the screen, somewhere unknown, a series of joyful laughs emanated from beneath the Jackal's mask.

"Your cell tissue has incredible resistance to Honkai Energy. After being injected with Honkai Energy solution, the Stigmata has started to glow."

"These marks are truly beautiful, and they give me even greater faith in the future promised by His Holiness."

The Stigmata was flashing with light, Jackal looked at the dazzling pattern with a fanatical smile.

"Ahem, Stigmata? You stole the Schicksal's vaccine, offended the Valkyrie, and went through all this trouble, but apart from the Honkai zombie, I haven't seen Stigmata on anyone in this city."

Kiana spoke with difficulty, "Your calculations must be wrong."

"I don't want to discuss professional matters with a test subject; it's ridiculous."

The Jackal waved his hand, activating another test.

"Aaaaaah!"

Kiana screamed, gritting her teeth as she said, "Maybe I messed up a decimal point in the arithmetic, like when I take exams, I often... Aaaaah!"

The Jackal made a gesture, and another experiment was conducted on Kiana, the spreading electric current causing her to scream in agony.

"You're nothing but a lucky ant who, having obtained godlike power, thinks you can boss everyone around in the world?"

"This is profound knowledge capable of changing the fate of humanity, and I will not allow you to discuss this serious topic with such a dismissive metaphor."

Jackal asked excitedly, "How do we improve the vaccine? How much Honkai Energy we need to use to cleanse this city before the Stigmata within people are fully activated?"

"The secret within is something only a genius like me can understand!"

"Where is the Honkai Energy being released? In the city center, or on the outskirts?"

Kiana asked.

"You're asking too many questions! Skip the other tests and let's start the dissection."

The Jackal waved its hand, and several sharp blades extended from the experimental device, approaching Kiana.

"Hehe."

Kiana suddenly laughed, as if she had been forcing herself to watch a poorly made comedy, but had finally lost her patience.

"I've wasted so much time with you for such a tiny bit of information. Fine, I guess I won't get any more out of you."

"That's impossible, you clearly already..."

"Oh dear, screaming and faking crying are essential skills for girls!"

The Jackal, seeing the still-trembling, helpless test subject, revealed a hunter's smile.

"With your skills, it actually didn't hurt that much."

Kiana raised her fist and pointed it at the glass of the experimental chamber.
