Opening the Flame-Chasing Moth's Must-Farm Dungeon, Easily Conquering the Small High-Rise

Airi couldn't help but fall into thought after hearing how far Chang Yuan was considering things.

It was clear that Airi also didn't know what she would do after defeating Honkai in the future.

"Who cares, we can just decide when the time comes, right?"

Since she couldn't figure it out, Airi simply stopped thinking about it and threw the problem to her future self.

"Heh, is that your choice? What a coincidence, mine too."

But was there really a future?

The original story didn't mention whether advanced civilizations would personally intervene in this assimilation, but no one could guarantee they wouldn't.

All they could do now was take it one step at a time. If his butterfly effect truly caused the civilization behind the Cocoon of Finality to act personally, then they would just surrender with their hands up.

The Cocoon of Finality alone was enough to make the Pre-Civilization struggle, let alone the civilization that created it.

"So, what's the point of thinking about these things? Let's go, let's go, I heard there's a new ice cream shop that opened in the south, I want to try it. Come with me."

"Okay, let's go."

Since the global Honkai was not severe yet, there were no Honkai outbreaks almost every moment like there were later on.

They could still cherish the present.

A few days later...

"Mebius, we heard your research has made a major breakthrough, which is why you called us here. So, what is this major breakthrough? What kind of significant breakthrough requires our personal presence?"

Around the round table, one of the shifty-eyed council members asked. He had a square-shaped black mustache right on his philtrum.

It was clear he was a council member from the Far East.

Upon hearing this, Mebius wasn't in a hurry at all.

"We extracted a special factor from the bodies of Honkai Beasts. I tried to research it, neutralized the side effects, and injected it into humans."

Mebius didn't continue after saying this.

And this precisely gave these council members an opportunity, or rather, a pretext, to lash out.

"Mebius, you have a lot of nerve to conduct human experiments!"

One sanctimonious council member slammed the round table, stood up, and loudly berated her.

But in reality, he just wanted to extort more benefits from Mebius.

With one person initiating, the other council members also seemed to have triggered a switch, and they all began to accuse Mebius.

As time passed, the council members also felt thirsty and each picked up their glasses to drink.

Seeing that all the council members had drunk water, without a single exception, Mebius then put away her initial fake smile.

"You fools, I didn't conduct human experiments, at least not yet. I just wanted to summon all of you here for this."

"Wait, Mebius, what do you mean by that?"

One council member, sensing something amiss in Mebius's tone, suddenly became flustered.

However, Mebius didn't give any response to this. Instead, the conference room door opened.

And two figures slowly walked in through the door: one was Velvie, with her two-toned puffy hair, and the other was the protagonist, Chang Yuan.

Clap clap clap—!

"Hello, you maggots. The mastermind you're looking for has arrived."

Clapping his hands, Chang Yuan entered the conference room with a smile.

His appearance at this moment was very much like the villains in many hot-blooded anime.

"You're the deputy captain of Squad One. What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

Chang Yuan completely ignored this whiny barking.

Instead, he found a main seat and sat down.

He then crossed his hands and placed them under his nose.

"Esteemed maggots, did you enjoy the water just now?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying you poisoned the water? Do you know that if we die, not only will Flame-Chasing Moth be disbanded, but all of you will also be wanted by every continent."

Hearing Chang Yuan's words, many council members with wild imaginations thought of what Chang Yuan was about to do and, fearing for their lives, began to threaten him.

"No, no, no, I naturally know that killing you would cause turmoil in this world, so I didn't poison it."

Hearing Chang Yuan say he didn't poison it, all the council members' expressions improved significantly.

But before they could rejoice for long, Chang Yuan's next sentence plunged them into the abyss.

"You've merely ingested some explosive nanobots that will stick to your stomachs.

Oh, and be sure not to try to remove them. They will explode very easily if stimulated by external factors."

Chang Yuan said this in a very calm tone, as if he didn't care about their lives at all.

But in reality, he truly didn't care about their lives, but they couldn't die just yet.

He at least had to wait until he had completely divided up all their power. Otherwise, before the Honkai could destabilize human society, their deaths would destabilize it first.

"Mebius! Aren't you going to give us an explanation!"

Betrayal, this was naked betrayal. At this moment, all the council members stared at Mebius with fierce gazes.

But Mebius didn't care about this. After all, her relationship with these council members was merely a partnership.

The most crucial thing was that she also found these council members very annoying. They would cut her funding at every turn, and the things they did in private were countless times more evil than hers.

Yet, they dared to hypocritically accuse her of being inhumane and use that as a reason to exploit her funding.

They wanted her to achieve the greatest results with the least amount of funding.

"What does it have to do with me? I'm also a victim. I was deceived by him."

While looking at her fingernails, Mebius filed them with a nail file, her tone very casual.

However, the council members weren't fools. Seeing her current relaxed demeanor, it was impossible to say she had nothing to do with it.

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

The older people get, the more they fear death, especially these high-ranking, powerful parasites.

The reason they funded Mebius was that they recognized her talent in biology.

They hoped Mebius would quickly research experimental results that could grant eternal life.

Cutting her funding was simply because they didn't want to invest too much money in her.

After all, they had invested a significant portion of their fortunes into this research. Every little bit they cut was enough to create a richest person outside.

"Nothing much. I just want to ask everyone to slowly relinquish your power, to the person beside me and to Dr. Mobius."

"Impossible!"

The moment Chang Yuan finished speaking, all the council members rejected it in unison.

Chang Yuan was not surprised by this. After all, they had already experienced the poison known as power, and it was impossible to make them give it up.
