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

It's hard to find a reason to refuse.

"Please don't get too close to Theresa." Fu Hua walked over and almost forcefully pulled Rita away. It's best for Theresa to have as little contact with humans as possible right now, otherwise it will stimulate her vampiric urges, unless it's someone with whom Theresa can form a strong emotional bond.

Only in this way can one suppress the urge to suck blood through emotion.

……

……

Destiny.

Otto stood before the statue of Saint Karen in the church, gazing at it, lost in thought.

“She…has merged with Shesa,” he muttered to himself. “Have she also mastered that power of immortality?”

"If they really are the same person."

The voice that echoed only in Otto's mind was the voice of the Void Treasury of the pre-civilization.

“But if she really is Mebius, she shouldn’t have merged with Shesa; she already had that power long ago.”

At this point, he made a statement.

"Your speculation...does not stand up to scrutiny at all."

“Strict adherence to logic is what disappoints me,” Otto said calmly, gazing at the statue of Karen.

In fact, he didn't know whether Kallen, who was resurrected by Theresa using bacterial Honkai Beasts after being drained of her blood, was actually... the Kallen from before, despite having fragmented memories and a personality similar to the Saintess Kallen of the past.

However, in the end... some things are different.

In this world, a vessel is ultimately not allowed to match consciousness. So, is the consciousness that arose from Kallen's dead body truly Kallen? He... couldn't think about it any further.

However, intelligent people find it hard to deceive themselves, so he gave Karen a chance, and also gave Theresa a chance.

The freedom to choose one's own destiny.

Otherwise, how could Theresa and Karen possibly escape his sight?

Not to mention he also gave Karen… a specially made bullet to kill Theresa.

From the moment Theresa left Destiny, he had been in control of the situation, but some unexpected events occurred that surprised him.

The suddenly appearing Mebius was a hero from the previous civilization, and he looked even younger, having not undergone the super-transformation surgery.

This is clearly abnormal.

It was this unusual situation that aroused his anticipation, leading him to decide to observe what Möbius planned to do.

That's why he chose to cooperate.

But what if Mebius... fails to meet his expectations and threatens the safety of all humanity?

Then the Honkai energy fission bombs he had already prepared would descend upon the skies above Canghai City at any time, as needed.

A violent overthrow of Mebius's conspiracy.

“She’s lying to you, taking advantage of your feelings,” Void Archives replied again. “Even Mebius in his prime couldn’t resurrect the dead; he could only create dolls to comfort himself.”

He laughed.

"Just like you are now."

In his view, both Möbius and Otto's actions stemmed from their inability to accept the reality of the death of someone important to them.

Therefore, they simply chose to find a doll to replace it.

Whether it's Kallen, who was resurrected after being infected by the bacterial Honkai Beast, or the doll Klein, they are essentially the same.

It’s just self-deception.

"Are you so sure?" Otto smiled. "After she performed the super-transformation surgery on herself all by herself, are you also certain that she isn't Möbius?"

In this era, it's not that there are no people capable of undergoing super-transformation surgery, nor is it that it's impossible.

However, that only applies to a small number of forces.

“…Heh.” Void Treasury did not answer, but let out a mocking laugh, and then fell silent.

The current level of technology is far inferior to that of previous civilizations, except for organizations like anti-entropy and destiny that inherit some of the knowledge from previous civilizations.

Even without unlocking the relevant skill tree, it is still possible to perform the super transformation surgery.

The difficulty... is self-evident.

Chapter 26

The power to face the end

Gulu.

Bubbles rose, causing the once calm culture chamber to ripple. The naked beauty inside the chamber gently opened her deep green eyes, revealing a cold rationality that instilled fear in those within.

Meanwhile, the liquid inside the chamber slowly drained out, and then the chamber slowly opened, allowing air to rush in.

“It feels like a rebirth.” Stepping out of the capsule, Mebius took a deep breath, wiped her damp green hair with her hand, and a confident smile appeared on her pretty face. “This body gives me unlimited time to pursue my ideals.”

After stepping out of the incubation chamber, her body surpassed human limits, a level that no athlete or martial artist could reach through normal training.

If in the future someone sees her as a weak researcher, they might want to use violence against her.

She would definitely give the enemy a big surprise.

I left the research lab.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Theresa." Möbius, wearing a white lab coat that accentuated her curves, had her long, white legs peeking out as she walked.

This scene surprised Theresa, who looked over upon hearing the sound. It was the first time she had seen Möbius dressed like this. Möbius's usual attire was always dashing and didn't emphasize her female identity; she prioritized her own comfort.

And now... it's a bit erotic.

"It wasn't a long wait, in fact, it was a bit too fast." Theresa frowned in dissatisfaction. "Don't you really need to rest a little longer?"

She was somewhat worried that Mebius was just putting on a brave face, having left the lab not long after undergoing the super-transformation surgery.

It's quite worrying that Möbius's health is not good.

“Wouldn’t Theresa be too lonely then?” Möbius smiled faintly and sat down next to Theresa.

"Moreover, I didn't force myself. After fusing with Shesa's super-mutant factor, my recovery ability... is extremely strong."

"Really?" Somewhat doubtful, Theresa stared intently at Mebius, finding that he indeed showed no signs of weakness; on the contrary, he had become more energetic and powerful, as if he had become a different species.

He gave her the feeling of strength and a subtle sense of danger, but that was all.

For some reason, she felt her strength was increasing rapidly over the past two days, as if there was no limit to how fast she was getting stronger.

It was almost as if her retinue was multiplying and bursting forth in a short period of time, spreading into the human population.

However, I don't feel any connection between myself and my family.

“Help me test my current strength.” Möbius raised his hand and clenched his fist, his tone revealing impatience. “I need to have a certain understanding of my own condition so that I can make the next judgment.”

“No problem.” Theresa readily agreed. Although she was a caged bird, she was also a caged bird of destiny. She had learned some combat skills from Kallen, so she was not completely clueless.

Anyway, there's no problem with training with Mebius.

After a period of time.

In a lavishly decorated room, Möbius rested his chin on his hands, fingers interlaced, gazing at the computer screen before him, lost in deep thought.

She was completely outmatched by Theresa, which is exactly what it sounds like. She was completely suppressed by Theresa in every way, even though Theresa still had some trump cards she hadn't used yet.

However, there is no doubt that her strength and combat skills are inferior to those of Theresa, a vampire, even though she had long anticipated that her strength would be dramatically enhanced as Theresa's retinue expanded.

However, I was still a bit discouraged.

Throughout the entire battle, Theresa was restrained, worried about hurting or injuring her, treating her like a fragile and precious porcelain doll.

"Would you like a cup of coffee, Lord Möbius?"

The door was pushed open, and Rita, dressed in a maid outfit, walked in, placing a cup of hot coffee on Mebius's desk. Her beautiful, wine-red eyes glanced subconsciously at the computer.

The video showed the battle between Theresa and Mebius, and the power they displayed was like a re-enactment of a mythical hero.

Both of them are undeniably powerful.

At least, she is stronger than she was at this time, even though she is the Valkyrie of Destiny and possesses extremely outstanding combat abilities.

However, she is still too young and has not yet fully matured.

“Thank you.” Möbius picked up his coffee, took a sip, and asked Rita, “Do you think Theresa… is strong?”

“Of course.” Rita smiled faintly, knowing that no one would call Theresa weak once they saw the power she displayed.

Despite the obvious lack of skill, this only highlights the intensity of the power.

Purely violent power.

“Every person infected by the bacterial Honkai Beast will contribute an equivalent amount of their own power to Theresa,” Mebius asked Rita with a smile. “If we infected all of humanity on Earth and added all of humanity’s power to Theresa, would it surpass the power of the Herrscher of the End?”

"...Are you serious?" Rita frowned slightly, her tone unable to maintain its usual elegance.

“Of course I’m serious.” Mebius nodded calmly. The current population is 6.5 billion. If they were all infected by the bacterial Honkai Beasts…
