Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

"Hua, you're here." Alicia smiled brightly as she watched Hua walk into the villa carrying a suitcase. "As expected, Mebius will let you stay here."

"...Is there a reason for this?" Fu Hua asked, puzzled. In her opinion, the villa was just a place for Mebius to gather Ying Jie.

"So you can easily find us anytime." Alicia smiled, came to Hua's side, helped carry the luggage, and led the way to Hua's room. "Hua, you seem to know me quite well."

"..." Fu Hua was slightly taken aback, then immediately explained, "It's a live stream. I often watch your live streams, Alicia."

"I see."

Chapter 104

魂钢

World Serpent.

In the Lord's office.

"..." Mebius sat elegantly in his chair, his legs, clad in black stockings, crossed, one hand gently supporting his chin, gazing at the gray-haired boy across the table with a very gentle smile:

"Su, may I call you that?"

“Of course, Dr. Möbius,” Sue nodded calmly. “The meaning of a name is, after all, to refer to people and things.”

“It’s rare to send out so many emails,” Möbius sighed in frustration. “But only you came to World Serpent. The others don’t seem to be interested.”

“If it weren’t for Kevin, I would have treated that email as a scam,” Su explained, explaining why she had come.

“It’s alright. If no one comes on their own initiative, we’ll arrange for someone with the qualifications to come later.” Mebius smiled gently. “Just like when we invited Kevin.”

“…Kevin.” Su murmured to himself, then asked the question he was most concerned about, “Does the super-transformation surgery really have no side effects? For example, if you gain the power to control ice, you will never be able to touch anyone again.”

“If you mean Kevin’s body temperature is too low and he can’t touch others, then there’s no need to worry too much. There are arrangements in place.” Mebius comforted him, then gently shook his head. “However, the super-mutation surgery does indeed carry an extremely high risk of death. Currently, every eligible person who undergoes the super-mutation surgery is one in ten thousand. For ordinary people, undergoing the super-mutation surgery is no different from suicide.”

"Am I also a suitable candidate?" Su was somewhat uncertain. He had always trusted Möbius's character very much, but ever since Möbius seized the world's top power and turned the fusion warriors into private soldiers, he had become unsure of Möbius's character.

Whether Dr. Möbius, who stood before him, was a researcher with the intention of saving the world, or a masked...scheming man, he could not see clearly, and most of the time, could not see clearly.

However, it is certain that Möbius was important to humanity, and the good deeds he did should not be erased because of his true intentions.

“Su, you have outstanding talent.” Mebius smiled. “If you are willing to become a fusion warrior, you will definitely play a very crucial role in humanity’s victory over the Honkai.”

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me." Su was a little surprised. In his opinion... no, in most people's opinion, he was just an ordinary person, at most with a friendly appearance, a gentle personality, and a lot of knowledge. He was a normal human being.

However, Mebius gave him an unexpected evaluation.

“Su, you are a good person with enough awareness,” Mebius explained. “Fusion warriors wield very powerful forces. Even if they gain strong combat abilities, without sufficient character to control them, they will only cause irreparable disasters. You and Kevin are both very suitable to become fusion warriors.”

"Is this why you chose Kevin and me, Doctor?" With some understanding, Su Wei nodded. It seemed that the so-called fusion warriors were not just about having enough qualifications, but also about having good morals and the power to restrain themselves.

This is probably why Mebius chose him and Kevin.

"Getting back to the main topic, about the side effects of fusion warriors." Mebius's expression turned serious. "Everyone who becomes a fusion warrior will experience different changes. For example, I... gained the power of immortality, and I am always so young and energetic, and I can't feel the emotions that ordinary people experience as they age."

Su: "..."

Why did he feel that Mebius was showing off, possessing the power of immortality, eternal youth and boundless energy?

No matter how you look at it, it's something everyone dreams of.

“In short, depending on the individual, the fused super-mutant factors will also undergo different changes,” Mebius explained. “It varies from person to person; it might turn into a beast-eared girl, or an uncontrollable killing monster, or it might become even more beautiful.”

“Dr. Möbius, do you know what changes I might undergo?” Sue asked one last question.

“I don’t know. Maybe you’ll see through everything and become an enlightened being,” Möbius said, as if joking. “At that time, Sue, maybe you’ll say things that people can’t understand, like the cycle of cause and effect.”

The boy sitting in front of her was a truly good person, possessing the qualities to become an enlightened being.

According to the information she knew in her previous life, Su's original profession was a doctor who constantly went to disaster-stricken areas to save lives and extend a helping hand to those in need.

This kindness is pure, like the Buddha's compassion in cutting off his own flesh to feed an eagle, and it is what enabled Su to attain enlightenment.

The reason for reaching enlightenment.

"..." Su pondered for a long time before calmly asking, "Can I refuse to become a fusion warrior?"

“Of course.” Mebius agreed without hesitation. She only wanted to collect heroes, so it didn’t matter if Su didn’t become a fusion warrior.

“Is that so?” Sue smiled at Mebius. “Please let me become a Fusion Warrior.”

“Then come with me, I will perform the surgery myself.” Möbius stood up and left the room.

However, after she opened the door...

“Hi, Doctor.” Kevin leaned against the wall and greeted Möbius. “I’m here waiting for Sue. I’ll be leaving soon.”

“Perfect timing, you can come along too. There’s an experiment that needs your help.” Without paying any attention, Möbius glanced at Kevin and continued walking towards the laboratory.

Kevin scratched his head, turned to his friend, and whispered, "Sue, were you given a hard time by Dr. Mebius?"

Sue shook her head. "Dr. Möbius is a very nice person."

After saying that, he caught up with Möbius's pace, while Kevin looked at Sue's back and frowned in confusion, even though he admitted that Möbius was of great importance to humanity.

However, he wasn't treated with much gentleness or friendliness. He was tricked into coming to World Serpent, and he was given a hasty super-transformation surgery. He didn't adapt for long before going to have a life-or-death battle with the Herrscher of Evolution.

In short, she gave him the impression of being a somewhat bad woman.

However, Sue had a very good impression of Mebius; could this be the tolerance of a "fan"?

After all, Su had always spoken highly of Mebius.

……

……

Inside the deepest level of the world's snakes, in a mechanical research and development room inaccessible to outsiders.

"Hmph, the best magic prop ever created has been born." Velvi smiled confidently, looking at the flowing silver liquid in the incubation chamber. It was neither mercury nor some strange living thing.

Instead, it is a liquid formed by the convergence of countless nanobots.

“Although it took some time,” she said, glancing at Mebius and the two unfamiliar boys standing to the side, “this should be the Soul Steel you wanted, Mebius.”

“This is definitely the material I want.” Möbius stood in front of the incubation chamber, gazing at the constantly flowing silver liquid inside.

She possessed the knowledge of heroes from 50,000 years in the future, and already knew the method of manufacturing Soul Steel.

However, she only mentioned the existence of Soul Steel to Velvet and lent her the Herrscher of Reason Core for a period of time.

Then, without any relevant knowledge to support her, Velvey developed Soul Steel through her own talent.

Such genius is enough to make people call him a prodigy.

"What do you want the Soul Steel to do?" Velvi asked Mebius, looking at the Soul Steel moving inside the incubation chamber.

With the current industrial chain of civilization, it is absolutely impossible to manufacture Soul Steel. Even if she could research the theoretical knowledge to create Soul Steel, the industrial chain would not allow it to be manufactured.

To properly manufacture Soul Steel, we need to help humanity break through other industrial chain technologies and upgrade the technology beyond normal needs.

However, with the Herrscher of Reason core, all that is needed is the concept and Honkai energy.

And this is the power of the Lawgiver's irrationality.

“Weapons, armor, autonomous combat robots,” Mebius explained, then suddenly asked Vervie with curiosity.

"By the way, could we modify the Soul Steel's nanorobots into semi-permanent monitors?"

“It’s not impossible,” Velvi asked curiously. “However, what do you plan to do with these semi-permanent nano-monitoring robots?”

“He looks pretty handsome,” Mebius answered honestly, but Vilvie rolled her eyes, clearly not believing him, so he had to come up with a more reasonable answer.

"In order to gain more information and ensure that we can subsequently grasp the things that have collapsed."

“It’s not impossible.” Velvi readily agreed, glancing at the active soul steel inside the cultivation chamber, and thought for a moment. “Come see my results in three days.”

“Alright.” Mebius nodded, then pointed to Kevin, who had been quiet to the side, and said, “Let Kevin test your research on the armor.”

“It’s you, Masked Hero.” Velvet’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands happily, saying to Kevin, “Help me try out the ‘Autonomous’ combat robot made of Soul Steel… By the way, the Autonomous Combat Robot is based on the attack patterns of the Herrscher of Evolution, and the attack patterns are quite varied.”

“Sure, sure.” Kevin nodded in agreement, then added with a complaint, “However, I feel like you might be even more dangerous than the Herrschers.”

He had just witnessed Mebius and Velvet discussing how to create nanoscale semi-permanent robots to monitor humanity... no, to cause chaos.

That's something that far surpasses the current technology of human civilization, but Virvi said... three days would be enough.

What a genius! He seems to be no less talented than Dr. Möbius. The two of them together create a chemical reaction.

Won't it kill humans?

"Just take it as a compliment," Möbius said, not minding at all, and waved to Sue beside him.

"Come with me to my lab."

“Okay.” Su calmly followed Mebius away, seemingly not too surprised by the absurd conversation they had just had.

He truly deserves to be someone with the potential to become an enlightened being.

And at the same time.

“…Come on, try this armor first.” Velvi walked to an experimental table and pointed to the flashy, beautiful-looking but, upon closer inspection, almost non-existent female armor.

"No, are you asking me to help test autonomous combat robots?" Kevin twitched his lips and asked Velvi, "And, with so little armor, can it really provide protection?"

“You’ll see when you put it on,” Vilvie explained, but then Kevin took a step back.
