Airi loved humanity selflessly.
"A'Yuan, you'll support me too, right?"
Airi knew Chang Yuan and Velvie were friends, so he had to ask Chang Yuan for his opinion first.
If Chang Yuan disagreed, Velvie would definitely not help her.
"...I'm really impressed. Fine, I'll go along with what you said."
In reality, Chang Yuan didn't think this would actually reduce the damage Herrschers caused to civilization.
After all, if any Herrscher truly went berserk, the Ninth Herrscher's fate would be theirs.
It had directly devoured an entire continent.
Keep in mind that was an entire continent, and most Herrschers could do what the Ninth Herrscher could.
For example, the Seventh Herrscher's great fire burned an entire state for seven days and seven nights.
If she hadn't been quickly killed, and a little more fuel had been added, it would have been enough to burn down an entire state.
So, this method couldn't be said to be useless, only that its usefulness was minimal.
But seeing Airi like this, Chang Yuan couldn't refuse and could only agree.
"I knew A'Yuan was the best."
Seeing that Chang Yuan had agreed, Airi knew Velvie wouldn't refuse.
Then, as soon as she returned to the Flame-Chasing Moth base headquarters, she ran directly to Velvie's Spiral Workshop.
Chang Yuan also went to Mebius's laboratory, where she was currently studying slices of Sesha.
"Mebius, you can't wait to research it as soon as it's brought back?"
Looking at Mebius, who had already put on her white coat and mask, Chang Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Is there something you need? If not, don't bother me."
If it weren't for his importance, Mebius would have directly told Chang Yuan, who suddenly disturbed her while she was working, to get out.
"This is the Third Herrscher's symbiotic Honkai Beast. It can be reborn infinitely through Honkai Energy, as long as there is enough Honkai Energy.
The reason it's dead now is probably because its stored Honkai Energy has been depleted. So, when you're researching it, pay attention to the Honkai Energy fluctuations within its body.
If the Honkai Energy becomes abnormal, immediately chop it into pieces and let it consume Honkai Energy to heal itself."
"You said it can be reborn infinitely!"
Mebius didn't hear the warning that followed at all.
All she cared about was what Chang Yuan said about being able to be reborn infinitely as long as there was enough Honkai Energy.
Wasn't this similar to the infinite evolution she had always dreamed of?
Perhaps she could explore the mysteries of evolution from it.
"That's right. Research is research, but Velvie's Fusion Warrior project is probably close to completion. Be careful yourself."
"Tsk, I know. But is Velvie really okay being so talented?"
Having spent so much time with Velvie, Mebius truly understood how monstrous she was.
After self-studying biology for a month, she was already almost as good as Mebius was when she was still in school.
And now, in biology, she was probably Mebius's equal.
"Mhm, that's why I said Velvie is a monster among geniuses. If she were just a bit more rational and a bit less human, I feel like she could definitely create something world-shattering."
Compared to the absolutely rational Mebius, Velvie was hard-pressed to surpass her.
After all, many plans required absolute rationality to conceive, and even required discarding some humanity.
And Velvie was clearly not that kind of person, so in some respects, it was difficult for her to compare to Mebius.
"Alright, you've said what you needed to say. You can leave now."
After her exclamation, Mebius began to see him out.
Seeing this, Chang Yuan didn't linger and instead went to Velvie's Spiral Workshop.
Velvie had already completed the prototypes of all the Divine Keys.
So, with the acquisition of the Third Herrscher's core this time, they could directly obtain a third Divine Key.
Thinking that the Third Divine Key in the original work actually had a lipstick mode, Chang Yuan still didn't tell Velvie not to add it.
After all, if the Divine Key didn't have some strange functions, he would feel a bit unaccustomed to it.
Of course, this was on the premise that it didn't involve anything that would affect the Divine Key's abilities.
"I say, Chang Yuan, why did you support Airi's idea?"
Seeing Chang Yuan arrive, Velvie gave him a helpless look.
She saw Chang Yuan's feelings for Airi very clearly.
But precisely because of this, she couldn't understand why Chang Yuan agreed to Airi's request for her to make those things.
You have to understand, if he really did that, Chang Yuan would probably only get to see Airi once a month.
That wasn't the main point, though. If he wanted to see her, he could visit anytime.
The real issue was that Airi would definitely be the first to charge in and lead by example.
And if that happened, Airi would absolutely be exhausted.
"Hey, hey, Velvie, A-Yuan already promised me, you can't let him refuse me."
Seeing Velvie asking Chang Yuan, Airi immediately butted in, afraid Chang Yuan would be persuaded by her.
"Don't worry, Airi, I won't go back on my word."
Chang Yuan shook his head with a faint smile and looked at Velvie.
"It's fine, Velvie, at worst, Airi and I can go together. If she's tired, I'll cover for her, and if I'm tired, she can cover for me. Wouldn't that work?
Besides, I heard your Fusion Warrior project has been going quite smoothly lately. Once it's successful, maybe Airi and I won't have to be so tired."
"No, where did you hear it was going smoothly? Only one out of a hundred people can succeed, what kind of smooth is that? A 1% success rate."
Hearing Chang Yuan actually say her project was going smoothly, Velvie couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
How dare he call a 1% success rate smooth?
Little did Velvie know, in the original story, this success rate was already considered quite high, at least much higher than when Mebius first proposed it.
"1%? That's already very good."
Upon hearing there was a whopping 1% success rate, Chang Yuan couldn't help but look at Velvie with renewed respect.
Good heavens, she'd already done everything Mebius could do.
So what was Mebius's use now? To add a 13th member to the Flame-Chasing Thirteen Heroes?
For a moment, Chang Yuan genuinely couldn't think of anything else Mebius could do, since everything she was capable of had already been accomplished by Velvie.
"By the way, Velvie, why don't you talk to Mebius and exchange some insights? You're both at the pinnacle of biology right now, perhaps you could make even greater discoveries together."
"Oh, right! Having one more person offering suggestions from different perspectives is indeed very helpful. Gosh, I was so focused on working in isolation that I forgot about having peers."
With Chang Yuan's reminder, Velvie finally remembered she wasn't alone.
