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

Then, considering the enhancements after being infected by the bacterial Honkai Beast, that power... is enough to tear this planet apart.

And it is also possible to defeat the Herrscher of the End.

“If what you’re saying is true?” Rita took a deep breath and asked with a smile, “Then there should be an upper limit, right? The loss during the transmission process and the upper limit of the force it can bear are all issues that need to be considered.”

The moment she heard Mebius's words, she felt her heart tremble, but she quickly realized that it wasn't as simple as she had imagined.

“You’re right, there are limits and losses.” Mebius gave Rita an approving look, then changed the subject, “However, as long as Theresa’s own carrying capacity and acceptance ability are improved.”

Her tone became somewhat seductive.

"Even if we can't defeat the End, we can still face it, as long as we obtain the Key of Erosion."

"You want the Key of Corruption?" Rita understood Mebius's purpose. The Key of Corruption was currently in the hands of Destiny. According to the information she had read, she knew that the power of the Key of Corruption was involved in the birth of Lady Theresa.

If Lady Theresa could obtain the complete power of the Key of Erosion, and devour it... no, even just use it would be good.

That would also greatly enhance Theresa's capacity to bear and accept things.

The power of 6.5 billion people is enough to elevate Lady Theresa to the level of a god, enough to make her the god of Earth... no, the god of humanity.

“He wouldn’t just give it to me if I wanted it, would he?” Mebius shook her head, seemingly troubled. She knew that Otto wouldn’t just hand over the Key of Corruption to her; it was a bargaining chip in a deal with her.

Unless she can restore all of Karen's memories, or come up with a reliable way to save Karen's life.

Otherwise, you won't be able to obtain the Key of Erosion.

“I will pass this message on to His Holiness the Bishop.” Rita gave a slight bow. “As for whether His Holiness the Bishop will hand over the Key of Corruption to you, that is not something that Rita, a mere Valkyrie, can decide.”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Give me your body, Karen.

"I didn't expect that bacterial Honkai Beasts would also have a corresponding effect on stimulating the awakening of Stigmata." Mebius stood in front of the protective glass window, looking at the rampaging test subject in the laboratory. It was a body injected with bacterial Honkai Beasts from a dead person's corpse, and the resulting power, due to the lack of consciousness, turned into a chaotic mass of flesh.

"Bang!" The chaotic chunks of flesh suddenly lunged at Mebius, crashing heavily against the special protective glass. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the chaotic chunks of flesh slowly slid down the glass.

It left behind shocking bloodstains.

"If we could obtain Otto's research data, it would save a lot of time." Möbius raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling somewhat troubled. Bringing the dead back to consciousness... was not easy.

The corpses infected by the bacterial Honkai Beasts are like wild beasts driven by instinct, only wanting to find humans to feed on.

However, it wasn't all without gains.

At least, it has been confirmed that there are huge differences between the infections of individuals by bacterial Honkai Beasts. The power and growth potential gained also depend on the original host's power and talent. This could be due to a natural Stigmata Awakener, or someone with super strong Honkai energy adaptability, or someone with other talents.

After being infected, they can all receive varying degrees of enhancement.

However, if one is just an ordinary person, without activating a Stigmata, has low Honkai energy adaptability, and no special talents, then...

Once infected, one can only receive basic protection.

“Perhaps you need some help.” The gray snake walked over and calmly glanced at the roaring and erratic movements of the flesh behind the special glass shield.

During this time, in order to help Möbius's experiments, he searched for many different types of corpses, men and women of all ages.

And there are results, of course. If combined with Fu Hua and World Serpent's advanced technology, it is indeed possible to restore consciousness and fragmented memories of the dead.

However, that would be too wasteful of time and costly.

"Has Jackal produced any results yet?" Mebius turned his head, looking at Gray Serpent with some anticipation. Among the people in the World Serpent who researched bacterial Honkai Beasts, there was also an executive named Jackal, who was also a rare researcher in this era.

However, the gray snake shook its head.

“No, Jackal is still researching it.” Gray Serpent shook his head, then took out a Soul Steel sphere, a machine left behind by the previous civilization for recording information, both in terms of the amount of information stored and the length of time it could be preserved.

They far surpass any information storage device in modern civilization.

"What's recorded inside?" Mebius took the Soul Steel's information storage device, and Gray Serpent lowered his head slightly, answering in an unusually respectful tone.

"Yes, Lord Mebius has left you with knowledge."

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Mebius's expression had become somewhat subtle, as if... he had become a little wary.

He had anticipated this.

"Rest assured, knowledge can also be acquired by connecting to a computer in modern civilization, without the need for a brain-computer interface."

"Really? Then I feel a little relieved." Möbius nodded slightly. If a brain-computer interface was required, she would have to suspect that Möbius's memory, or some kind of special backup, was stored in the information storage device.

Once she uses it, I'll possess her and reincarnate her.

"You're quite wary of your counterparts." The gray snake paused briefly, then changed the subject, "By the way, a woman who calls herself Karen wants to see you. I think she has some research value."

“To be more precise, part of my research is for her,” Möbius said with a smile, then glanced at the gradually stagnant mass of flesh behind the glass window. “Don’t let her die; she’s a valuable experimental subject.”

She said something to the gray snake.

"If we spend some money to develop her thinking skills, she can become a good subordinate."

"Yes." Gray Snake nodded slightly. He didn't mind using resources to give the fleshy piece consciousness, since it wasn't a big deal for him anyway.

Moreover, people who have no past memories are the easiest targets for brainwashing, requiring only a little effort.

They can then train cheap combat personnel.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gray Serpent." Mebius gently patted Gray Serpent's shoulder, then strode away with a flourish.

Gray Serpent stood silently for a while, then raised his hand and touched the shoulder where Möbius had patted him. It was the first time he had been treated like this by Möbius, and the feeling was very strange and novel.

In the past, after he was created by Mebius, he was thrown into the pool of destruction to die, but he survived thanks to his will to live.

Furthermore, he received a chance to live from Mebius.

However, despite his gratitude towards Mebius, he had never been treated as gently as he had today.

She actually said "You've worked hard" to him in a gentle way.

"It's a strange feeling," he muttered to himself, then went to the laboratory as instructed.

They dragged away the immobilized chunks of meat.

And at the same time.

In the private living room.

“Miss Karen, what brings you here?” Möbius sat down, smiling at Karen opposite him. “I was just about to have a word with you.”

“Just call me Karen, no need to add ‘Saintess’.” Karen shook her head. “I also have some things I want to talk to you about.”

"I'd like to hear the details." Möbius nodded with a smile, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

“I initially thought you were Bishop Otto, a researcher sent to treat Theresa.” Karen picked up her teacup, took a sip, and her voice gradually became serious. “However, I’ve recently discovered that’s not the case.”

She stared sternly at Mebius and asked.

"Who exactly are you, and what do you want to do with Theresa?"

"Are you that concerned about my research progress?" Möbius shook his head helplessly. "It hasn't been that long, and you already want to see results."

"..." Karen looked confused upon hearing this. This was completely irrelevant to her question. She wasn't concerned about Möbius's research progress; she simply wanted to know what Möbius planned to do with Theresa.

“Getting back to the point, Karen, you should know some of the information by now,” Möbius smiled. “For example, I plan to use Theresa to do some dangerous things.”

“That’s right.” Kallen nodded. She had only recently learned from Rita that Mebius didn’t just want to save Theresa; he also planned to use Theresa’s power to do some immoral things.

That's why she came to meet and talk with Möbius.

"Oh, holy maiden of destiny, are you prepared to give your body to me?" Möbius leaned close to Karen, his voice becoming suggestive, "Give it all to me, inside and out!"

"What do you want my body to do?" Karen leaned back nervously, sensing an unexpectedly strong sense of pressure from Möbius at that moment.

So much so that she forgot she was a powerful Valkyrie.

Chapter 28

Keep up with the pace of civilization

“Karen, you should know the answer yourself.” Möbius shook his head, his smile somewhat amused. “You’re just not sure yet, or you need someone else’s words to confirm your thoughts.”

"..." Karen fell silent. It would be impossible for her to have no thoughts or speculations at all.

Behind the scenes, the real driving force behind this event might be Archbishop Otto of Destiny, and even her current meeting with Möbius is the result of Otto's deliberate manipulation.

This was solely for the purpose of resurrecting the true Saintess Kallen, who was the original owner of her body, or rather, the original consciousness that existed within it.

That is the true object of people's faith and worship.

As for her, she was merely... a new consciousness born on the body of the deceased Saint Kallen, inheriting only fragmented memories of Saint Kallen.

This is clearly not the result Otto wanted.

Therefore, what Möbius wanted to do to her body became clear.

She revived the long-dead Saintess Karen in her body.

“It seems you understand the situation,” Möbius said with a smile. “Then let’s get straight to the point.”

“Wait, I have something to ask you.” Karen interrupted, her eyes serious. “What exactly do you want to do with Theresa?”
