And thanks to our Pink Fairy Lady for finding her wallet for the rest of her life.

While Elysia and Eden were getting cozy, Kevin had already finished his report on the subjugation of the Herrscher of Flame.

Although Mei also noticed the sadness hidden beneath Kevin's calm expression, she couldn't do anything about it. She could only hope that Kevin would get through it himself.

However, looking at the Chimera Project in the files, Mei's eyes hardened. I hope you won't resent me in the future, Kevin.

The end of a celebration banquet also meant the end of the Seventh Herrscher incident.

During this time, two major events occurred within the Flame Chasers.

The first was Eden officially joining the Flame Chasers. As a phenomenal artist and a world-class star, even though her art had been destroyed by the Herrscher of Flame's fire, it had no effect on Eden.

Some things never change, like the appreciation for art. As long as Eden was alive, she could create new art at any time.

Even setting aside Eden's identity as an artist, her status as the world's richest person was something the Flame Chasers couldn't ignore.

For such a major benefactor and potential investor, the higher-ups of the Flame Chasers naturally did everything they could to pull Eden onto their grand ship.

From the moment Eden joined the Flame Chasers, they no longer had to worry about funding issues.

The second major event was that, after discussion among the Flame Chasers' leadership, they decided to bestow upon Kevin the title of strongest human and make the Fusion Warrior Project public.

Now, everyone in the Flame Chasers knew that Kevin had fused with Honkai Beast genes, becoming the first Fusion Warrior.

After hearing that Kevin had single-handedly killed the Seventh Herrscher, people held him in deep admiration.

But after Kevin went on a few missions, the tide turned.

This was because whenever Kevin went on missions, he would resolve the target Honkai Beasts in a single blow. These were beasts that others couldn't defeat even after hundreds or thousands of attempts.

As Kevin's interventions became more frequent, the ordinary soldiers of the Flame Chasers gradually distanced themselves from him.

Some rumors also spread within the Flame Chasers, such as:

"Kevin is so strong, he's not human anymore, is he?"

"Nonsense, he's fused with Honkai Beast genes, so of course he's not human."

"Speaking of which, won't he suddenly turn into a Honkai Beast?"

"Probably not. He's already so strong. If he turned into a Honkai Beast, wouldn't he be even stronger than a Herrscher?"

Kevin was aware of all these rumors.

He didn't know how to respond to the fearful gazes directed at him by others. After completing his missions, he could only return to the lounge alone.

However, Kevin's expression grew increasingly somber. He still couldn't get over the matter of personally killing Himeko.

Mei couldn't do anything about this situation either, so she could only advise Kevin to see a psychologist.

After receiving this suggestion, Kevin returned to the lounge with a somber expression.

However, what Kevin didn't notice was that he seemed to have passed by a certain pink-haired individual today.

Today, Elysia was very happy because she had met the little cutie in front of her.

"Hee hee~ Little Griseo, still so adorable?" Elysia pinched Griseo's soft, tender cheeks. "Let me squeeze them~"

You already squeezed them!

"Wuuu..." Griseo struggled, trying to escape Elysia's clutches. "Let go of me, Sister Elysia."

"That's not right." Elysia released Griseo's cheeks and put her hands on her hips. "You should call me Little Sister Elysia."

"Why?"

It was clear that little Griseo was very confused.

"Because if everyone hears you call me that, they'll be shocked," Elysia laughed. "They'll definitely be confused, and their faces will be hilarious then!"

"Okay, I understand, Little Sister Elysia."

Griseo is such an obedient child.

"Oh, right." Elysia prepared to trick someone else. "Remember to call her Grandma Mobius."

"Grandma..." Little Griseo hesitated a little. "If I call her that, won't Aunt Mobius be angry?"

"Oh dear, Griseo doesn't understand yet." Elysia gave a look that said you're too young to understand. "Compared to 'Grandma,' the title 'Aunt' is more hurtful to girls."

Hey, is this the police? The military police will do too. There's a bad woman here corrupting a child!

"But it's okay. One day, little Griseo, you'll understand, and it won't be too late to change your address then?"

"Mhm... Okay. But Aunt Mobius is so pitiful. She's been busy very late recently, she can't even eat properly."

Griseo is truly a good child, she even cares about adults' lives.

"She's probably working on some urgent project, so she can't rest. But how do you know that?"

"Mom wants to go to Dad's place and can't stay in the lab anymore, so she plans to introduce a new assistant to Aunt Mobius."

At this moment, a handsome white-haired youth happened to walk by, completely unaware of the two people chatting by the roadside.

Griseo continued, "When I overheard them discussing the handover, it sounded like... modification? Surgery?"

"Oh."

Click!

The sound of a door closing drew the attention of both Elysia and Griseo.

"Well, look who's back?"

After a brief silence, Elysia spoke.

There was no response from the room.

"Uncle Kevin doesn't seem to have heard me, and... he looks terrible."

"Mhm..." Elysia paused. "We just defeated the Seventh Herrscher, so he might not have recovered yet."

"Dr. Mei advised him to see a therapist, so he's probably just back from there. I'll go talk to him. Griseo, can you stay here by yourself for a bit?"

"I understand, Little Sister Elysia," Griseo replied obediently.

"That's a good girl. Desideria said she'll be back shortly, so you can just wait here for her."

With that, Elysia entered the lounge.

Chapter 56: The Second Fusion Warrior

As soon as she entered, Elysia felt a stark difference in temperature compared to outside.

"Haa... it's so cold."

"..."

Kevin remained silent towards the newcomer, not even turning around. He merely tilted his head slightly, glancing at Elysia from the corner of his eye.

"Are you going for the cold, handsome type now?" Elysia asked, as if she had uncovered a great truth. "No wonder you're ignoring me. I thought you disliked me, and I was so heartbroken."

"..., I'm sorry."

Kevin didn't know how to respond and could only offer an apology.

"I heard about it, the Fusion Warrior Project. How could you not tell me something like this?"

Elysia walked over to Kevin's side.

"..."

Kevin's response was still silence.

"You kept such good news from me. Were you trying to surpass me in secret?" Elysia put her hands on her hips. "Is this the open competition within the Flame Chasers? Kevin, you're being very sly right now."

"Elysia..."

"Mhm? Elysia is always here."

"...Thank you for comforting me, but... I want to be alone for a while."

"...Oh."

"I'm sorry..."

"You've already said sorry twice. That phrase doesn't suit you," Elysia said, shaking her head to emphasize her point.

"Mei said the same thing," Kevin lowered his head, his tone filled with an indescribable sadness. "But whenever I close my eyes, I see Himeko... She's standing there, smiling and waving at me. Like nothing happened, like we're back at that dance that night... You were there too, Mei was there too..."

"Do you know?" Kevin looked at Elysia. "When I swung my final blow, she had that same expression... but I couldn't stop. ...Just like with the Sixth Herrscher, I was afraid of causing even worse consequences..."

"..."

Elysia could only respond with silence. After all, everyone knew what had happened with the Sixth Herrscher.

"...Sorry, I shouldn't have brought that up."

"It's fine. I'm actually quite happy. After all, I'm in your dreams every night," Elysia looked at Kevin. "Perhaps... you really do need some alone time. Should I... not disturb you then?"

With that, Elysia turned to leave. Before she could make a move, Kevin's voice called out again.

"Elysia... I'm afraid of that dream... but I'm even more afraid... of waking up from it..."

"Don't worry about it, Kevin. You just... haven't met a good doctor yet..." With that, Elysia walked out of the lounge.

"..."

Kevin was left alone in the activity room.

"Griseo... Griseo..." Elysia called out Griseo's name twice but received no response. "Oh dear, no one's here. It seems Desideria took her. In that case..."

Elysia made a decision. "You said sorry first, so don't blame me, Kevin."

"..."

"..."

In Mobius's laboratory, Elysia and Mobius were staring each other down. Finally, Mobius broke the silence:

"I never expected you to be the one to come to me about this first."

"That's a bit much, Mobius. You know I don't want to fall behind Kevin, and I don't want to fall behind you either." Elysia paused for a moment before continuing, "Well, the former is no longer an option, so for the latter... I have to strive for it no matter what."

"Alright, since this is your choice, I'll let you cut in line." Mobius stared intently at Elysia. "Elysia, I'd be more than happy to personally select a 'death' for you."

"That won't do, Mobius. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." Elysia took out a test tube. "I prepared this before coming here. Elysia's Fusion Factor... has to be 'unique', right?"

—The Dividing Line for Fusion Warrior Surgery—

"This... is truly surprising." Mobius looked at Elysia in shock. "But when it comes to you, I find it quite reasonable."

"Ah, Dr. Mobius, it seems... my surgery was very successful?" Elysia, having successfully become a Fusion Warrior, looked at Mobius.

"It appears you have excellent compatibility with the Mahamayuri. The surgery went very smoothly, without a single hitch. Unlike Kevin, he nearly lost his life signs several times. Honestly, I think Kevin surviving is just a testament to his sheer stubbornness!"

"That sounds terrifying. After all, a beautiful girl like me is afraid of pain." As she spoke, Elysia examined her body for any changes.

"This current Fusion Warrior surgery... tsk, what a hassle. Let's just call it Hypervariable Surgery from now on." In just a few words, Mobius had decided on the new name for the surgery. "The current Hypervariable Surgery technology isn't perfect yet. Theoretically, you should experience some side effects, more or less. Like Mei's little follower, the side effects were quite severe; her body temperature was maintained at minus thirty degrees Celsius, and she constantly emitted cold air. So, what about you, Elysia?"

"Side effects, huh..." Elysia touched her ear. "Does this count, Mobius?"

Seeing Elysia's ears, which now resembled those of a fairy from a fairytale, Mobius nodded. "Of course, it counts. But are there no others?"

"I haven't discovered any other changes for now?"

"In that case, you're no longer useful. Hurry up and leave, don't disturb me while I continue my experiments."

Realizing she had gathered enough information, Mobius began to usher Elysia out.

Seeing this, Elysia didn't linger. "Thank you, Mobius. I'll come see you again next time."
