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

It doesn't matter anymore. Humans 50,000 years from now have left childhood behind. Now she just needs to focus on the present and live a good life.

Protect everything we have now.

……

……

The concert is over.

The audience left satisfied, but for Mebius and Alicia, it was just the beginning.

At this moment, inside a luxurious villa.

“Dr. Möbius, isn’t this gift a bit too expensive?” Eden sat gracefully on the sofa, her beautiful eyes fixed on Möbius.

Just now, Mebius gave her a villa, the very villa where she is now.

however.

“This gift isn’t particularly valuable among the gifts you’ve received, is it?” Möbius chuckled. “If Eden finds it precious, he might as well stay here for a while.”

“My vacation isn’t over yet,” Eden replied with a smile. “So, I probably won’t be leaving anytime soon.”

She was supposed to be on vacation, but the concert was mainly at Alicia's invitation, and she also wanted to meet Mebius.

Therefore, they will not be leaving anytime soon.

"Would you like to take a look at the World Serpent?" Möbius's gaze fell on Alicia beside him. "Shall Alicia show you around the World Serpent?"

“I’d be happy to take this job.” Alicia nodded with a smile, then shook her head regretfully. “But just browsing the World Serpent won’t give you a real understanding of it.”

"Then how do we learn about the World Serpent?" Mebius asked curiously, while Eden, standing nearby, also cast a curious glance his way.

“The best way to understand World Serpent is to understand Mebius,” Alicia explained. “This is a consensus reached by World Serpent employees, and outsiders think so too.”

“I am not equal to the World Serpent.” With a slight shake of her head, Mebius answered in this way. Although she regarded the World Serpent as a tool, she could not represent everything about the World Serpent by herself.

“But without knowing you, one cannot understand the full picture of World Serpent.” Alicia smiled gently. “The employees of World Serpent often complain that Dr. Mebius often locks himself away to conduct research and rarely communicates or interacts with them.”

“That’s not true.” Mebius smiled. “I often communicate with Klein and Vervière, but I don’t shut myself away to do research.”

“That’s a very small number of people, isn’t it?” Alicia shook her head with a light laugh. Inside the World Serpent… Mebius appears very infrequently, and the researchers inside rarely have the opportunity to see him, let alone have much of a chance to communicate with him.

Most of the time, Mebius would lock himself away to conduct his research, rarely involving researchers from within the World Serpent. Only a few people were able to cooperate with Mebius's research, and most others struggled to even understand his line of thinking.

Arrogance… no, if you must say, a lack of kindred spirits.

Therefore, most of the time Möbius conducted his own research; otherwise, the time it would take to explain his ideas to others would have been enough for Möbius to make a technical breakthrough on his own.

“The process isn’t important; what matters is the result.” Mebius said helplessly, his gaze falling on Eden. “However, if this is how one can understand the World Serpent, then Eden can come to me anytime.”

"Won't this disturb your research?" Eden frowned. "You should be conducting research on the survival of humanity recently."

"You mean Honkai disease?" Mebius asked, and after Eden nodded, he calmly explained, "In fact, the research is complete; it's the 'immortality' surgery."

"Is the immortality surgery just for treating Honkai disease?" Eden was somewhat surprised. There had been a lot of discussion about the immortality surgery recently.

However, due to the outbreak of the Honkai crisis, humanity is in danger of being wiped out at any moment.

Discussions about the surgery to achieve immortality have, ironically, disappeared.

“The current human body structure is not suitable for living in an environment with Honkai energy,” Mebius explained. “The essence of the immortality surgery is to make humans adapt to the Honkai energy environment, and so-called immortality is just a side effect of the research.”

"Dr. Möbius, you are truly a remarkable person," Eden exclaimed, yet there was nothing he could do about it.

Although she desperately wanted to help Möbius, she knew... it was impossible, neither in terms of money nor technical support.

"..." Möbius shook his head, refusing Eden's praise, and casually changed the subject, "Eden, do you want to become a Fusion Warrior?"

"Me?" Eden's eyes showed surprise; she never expected that Mebius would invite her to become a Fusion Warrior.

Mebius nodded seriously: "You have the qualifications to become a Fusion Warrior."

"I'm sorry, I can't answer that right now." Eden frowned in distress. She didn't doubt Mebius's words, but she couldn't make a decision immediately about whether or not she should become a Fusion Warrior.

Admittedly, she hopes that humanity will defeat the Honkai and is willing to dedicate her own strength to this cause. However, becoming a Fusion Warrior means that she will no longer be able to maintain her current job as a singer.

The choice is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

“It’s alright. You can come to me anytime if you want to become a Fusion Warrior.” Mebius blinked and raised her hand to brush a strand of hair behind her ear. “Becoming a Fusion Warrior has many benefits.”

"What are the benefits?" Alicia and Eden cast curious glances at them. They didn't know much about the Fusion Warriors; their information was limited to the earth-shattering battles between the Herrscher of Evolution and the Fusion Warriors.

"For example, no matter how much you eat, you won't gain weight; no matter how late you stay up, it won't affect your skin; and you'll never grow old." Mebius's tone was seductive. "As long as you undergo the super-transformation surgery, you can only be a young and beautiful girl."

"That sounds pretty good," Alicia's eyes lit up. "I even want to become a fusion warrior."

“Sure,” Mebius readily replied. “With Alicia’s aptitude, she should be able to survive no matter what super-mutant factor she chooses.”

She asserted this.

"You are special."

"Hmm, beautiful girls are always special." Alicia hummed noncommittally. She was supposed to tease Möbius about whether he was confessing his feelings when he said she was "special."

However, considering that Mebius would actually agree, it was wise to choose a different approach.

Otherwise, Mebius will definitely take the opportunity to flirt with her later.

"You two have such a good relationship." Eden chuckled softly, picked up the wine bottle, poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Alicia and the other to Mebius.

Let's raise a glass to our meeting tonight.

“I’m very happy tonight.” Möbius took the wine glass that Eden offered and gently clinked glasses with Eden.

The three then chatted for a long time until they were slightly drunk before ending the gathering.

on the balcony.

Eden leaned against the railing, a glass of red wine in her slender hand, the moonlight gently draping her in a thin veil.

“Truly, an unforgettable gathering.” She took an elegant sip of red wine, her gaze fixed on the direction where Mebius and Alicia had left.

Then, she noticed something that made her pause: Alicia and Mebius, who had already left, were having an intimate encounter under the dim streetlights.

Alicia put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and lightly kissed Mebius's cheek before immediately taking two steps back.

After saying a few words to Mebius, the two walked hand in hand in the night.

"So that's how they are?" Eden murmured to himself, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "No wonder Ellie invited me to sing here."

After saying that, she gracefully turned and went back into the villa.

Chapter 108

I have a friend

Three months later.

This period, which felt both brief and incredibly long, was especially difficult for patients suffering from "Honkai disease," despite the fact that World Serpent had developed related medical treatments.

However, the Honkai disease was never completely cured, so it could only delay the onset of death.

And today, the World Snake announced the completion of its research.

Unsurprisingly, this was another live broadcast to the world, and a professional female presenter's gaze was fixed on Mebius.

"Dr. Möbius, congratulations on completing your research." Her expression was serious and meticulous as she asked Möbius, "It is said that this Honkai vaccine not only completely cures Honkai disease, but also brings some small benefits to humanity, is that right?"

“Yes, there are indeed some small benefits.” Mebius nodded calmly. “Humans who use the Honkai vaccine will gain the power of immortality due to changes in their underlying genetic structure.”

"Sigh...is this a small benefit?!" The female host was stunned, wondering if she had misheard.

"Excuse me, were you just saying...immortality?" she asked again, her eyes revealing deep confusion.

Immortality is a dream pursued by countless famous figures throughout history.

But it just so happens that these words came from Mebius's mouth today.

“Yes, it’s immortality.” Möbius nodded slightly, plunging the female host into silence.

for a long time.

"Why is the treatment of Honkai disease related to immortality?" The female host asked in a trembling voice, swallowing hard.

Mebius's reaction to this was surprisingly indifferent. After a brief pause, he calmly offered his explanation.

"Currently, the underlying structure of humanity cannot adapt to an environment where Honkai energy is becoming increasingly concentrated. Therefore, we can only redefine humanity, making appropriate modifications to the underlying structure of humanity while preserving human intelligence and appearance as much as possible, so that humanity has sufficient resistance to Honkai energy."

At this point, her expression turned serious.

"Although the Honkai vaccine currently appears to have no side effects, it is ultimately a vaccine designed to treat Honkai disease. Please do not use it without authorization in the name of immortality, in order to prevent potential side effects and to avoid contaminating the human gene pool."

"I don't think everyone will listen obediently." The female host gave a wry smile. She was already very tempted. Once the safety of the Honkai vaccine was confirmed, how could she possibly not use it?

And to this.

“That’s alright, we will limit the supply of vaccines,” Mebius explained. “Only those suffering from Honkai will be able to receive them.”

"..." The female host twitched her lips. She didn't know if Mebius was out of touch with people's hearts, or if he was just saying something politically correct. As long as safety was confirmed, everyone could get Honkai disease.
