"You're back. I have both good news and bad news for you two. Which do you want to hear first?"

Seeing Chang Yuan and Airi arrive, Velvie stopped flipping through the documents in her hands and asked.

"Come on, Big V Teacher, can you stop being coy? Today is an important day for Airi and me, you know."

Chang Yuan chuckled helplessly as he looked at Velvie, who was asking the exact same question as last night.

"Alright, alright, I'll get straight to it. The Honkai Beast DNA most suitable for our members is Ashwatthaman, with a similarity of 96%. That's outrageously high.

The bad news is that the Honkai Beast gene compatibility for Airi among all known Honkai Beast gene banks is only 20%.

This means Airi cannot be compatible with the DNA of any Honkai Beast currently known."

"This—"

"Um, Velvie, wait for me for a moment. I'll be right back."

Upon hearing Velvie's words, Airi suddenly remembered the unknown Honkai Beast that had given her a piece of armor last night.

She immediately went to find Mebius and asked for her help in extracting the Honkai Beast's DNA from the armor.

"Ha, is this another fragment from the new Honkai Beast you hunted before?"

Looking at the piece in her hand, which didn't resemble any Honkai Beast armor she had ever seen, Mebius asked curiously.

"No, I just found it by chance. Velvie's Honkai Beast gene bank doesn't have anything suitable for me, so I thought I'd see if this piece could be extracted."

"I see. But don't get your hopes up too high. After all, the known Honkai Beast gene banks don't have anything suitable for you. Even if a new one suddenly appeared, it might not be suitable for you either."

As she spoke, Mebius proceeded with the gene extraction.

It didn't take long. After only about 10 minutes, a new vial of Honkai Beast gene serum appeared.

"Here's what you wanted. Don't get your hopes up too high. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Mebius said with a gruff exterior but a soft heart, offering a preemptive word of comfort.

However, Airi clearly didn't care about being disappointed.

After receiving the gene serum, she waved goodbye to Mebius with a smile.

Returning to Velvie's Spiral Workshop, Airi handed the brand-new Honkai Beast gene serum to Velvie.

"Velvie, see how compatible this is with me."

Velvie didn't ask any further questions and took the gene serum to test it.

After the test, Velvie's face was filled with astonishment.

"Impossible, how could this be? It's 100% compatible."

At this moment, Velvie was questioning her own life.

100% compatibility with a Honkai Beast's gene—doesn't that mean a person is a Honkai Beast?

But the problem was that she hadn't detected any Honkai Beast traits in Airi's blood or genes.

"What's wrong, Velvie? Is it not working?"

"...No, it's not that it's not working. It's that it's too working. 100% compatibility, it's absurd."

Hearing Velvie's words, Airi felt even more that what happened last night was too strange.

Just when she needed it, that Honkai Beast appeared.

"Alright, don't overthink it, Velvie. Let's proceed with the surgery. As for the current Honkai outbreaks around the world, let those who have successfully become Fusion Warriors guard them for now."

"Don't worry. The successful cases of those villains have been apprehended, and the successful cases of Flame-Chasing Moth warriors are in absolute core areas. They don't need to guard temporarily; they can guard permanently."

"Then I'll agree with your suggestion. It'll be good for Airi and me to relax a bit."

Chang Yuan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and agreed with Velvie's proposal.

And then, of course, came the Fusion Warrior surgery for him and Airi.

Velvie performed the entire procedure alone. After the simple surgery was completed, Velvie placed them both into the cultivation pods.

Tubes were inserted into their bodies, continuously supplying them with nutrients to maintain their vital signs within operational parameters.

These data also allowed Velvie to monitor their condition at any time.

A week later, Airi, inside the cultivation pod, opened her eyes.

Velvie, having received the notification, immediately opened Airi's cultivation pod.

"Am I the first one awake? Mhmm, looks like I have the best luck."

Airi, now dressed, said to Velvie with a cheerful smile.

"Ah, this, Airi, why don't you look in a mirror first?"

Looking at Airi at that moment, Velvie awkwardly scratched her face and suggested.

Hearing Velvie's words, Airi's previously bright smile froze instantly.

She immediately found a reflective surface and looked at her reflection.

Seeing herself in the mirror, Airi disbelievingly reached out to touch her ears.

However, just like in the mirror, her ears had truly become pointed elven ears.

"Velvie, wh-what's going on? Didn't you say the fusion surgery was perfect?"

Seeing this non-human characteristic, Airi asked with a hint of concern.

While she herself found it cuter, what would Chang Yuan think of her? Would he look at her like a monster?

The original Airi in the story clearly didn't have such worries. She didn't need to fret about herself because she didn't particularly need to mind her image in front of anyone.

But the current Airi had someone she cared about deeply, so she couldn't judge herself solely based on her own feelings.

What if what she saw as a symbol of cuteness was seen as a symbol of monstrosity by someone else?

"Technically, it should have been perfect, but accidents happen. And according to all the vital signs, your only side effect seems to be these pointed elf ears.

The rest can't really be counted as side effects, like your hair that's always fluffy without any styling, or a body that never gains weight no matter how much you eat."

Velvie shrugged helplessly at this.

Seriously, Airi had to hit that 1% chance, what could she do?

All she could do was pray that Chang Yuan wouldn't blame her afterward.

"Hmm, alright, but where's A'Yuan? Where is he? I want to go see him."

At this moment, Airi forced herself not to dwell on the matter, changing the subject and her own focus.

"He's on the other side. If you're curious, come with me," Velvie said, pointing to where the cultivation pods were located on the other side.
