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

Inside the villa.

living room.

"..." Alicia sat gracefully on the sofa, and after briefly observing the interior decoration, her gaze fell on Möbius, who was making tea beside her. She said as if jokingly, "I thought I would be facing the army this time."

While she was being secretly monitored by Möbius, she suspected that he had discovered her unusual behavior.

Otherwise, why would Möbius, the top scientist of this era and a genius who propelled the medical field to a "great leap forward," pay attention to this ordinary-looking young girl who, apart from her extraordinary "beauty," is so unremarkable?

"Why do you think I would do that?" Möbius shook his head, placed the brewed black tea on Alicia's table, and explained casually, "You haven't done anything bad so far, have you?"

It wasn't an exaggeration; she had indeed been observing Alicia's movements, and the other party had never done anything bad. On the contrary, she had done countless good deeds.

In a sense, she is a real-life saint. If it weren't for Alicia's extraordinary strength and exceptional intelligence...

It has long been maliciously destroyed by humans.

However, despite witnessing the malice and ugliness of humanity, the other side did not choose to cleanse humanity.

It can be said to be extremely difficult.

"Hmm, it's mainly because Dr. Mebius's reputation is a bit scary." Alicia picked up the black tea on the table, took a sip, and joked with Mebius, "Something like a mad scientist who wants to rule the world."

As soon as she finished speaking, she keenly noticed that Mebius turned his head away guiltily, feeling embarrassed that his secret had been exposed.

The atmosphere froze.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

then.

"Seriously, such outrageous rumors exist," Mebius said nonchalantly, without meeting Alicia's gaze.

Yes, she did want to rule the world.

Although she had no interest in power, she did intend to unify the will of humanity and complete her great task of the evolution of all mankind.

It also makes it easier to fight against the Honkai.

That's right, she didn't want to rule the world to fight against the Honkai, but to complete the evolution of humanity.

After she was able to freely enter the cycle space, fighting against the Honkai was no longer a crisis, but... an experimental subject.

This applies to both the Cocoon of the End and the Herrscher of the End.

"Hmm, that's suspicious." Alicia looked doubtful, her slender hand lightly supporting her on the table as she leaned closer to Möbius. "Could it really be like what's circulating online, Möbius, that you're planning to rule the world and become the ultimate producer?"

"Hmph, I wouldn't do something so boring." Möbius scoffed dismissively. She had no interest in becoming a final producer; she only wanted to help humanity's collective genes ascend to immortality.

To create a more vibrant civilization.

After all, only a more vibrant civilization can be more suitable for the birth of excellent cultural and knowledge systems.

"That's good. I thought a cute girl like you, Mebius, would be an ambitious person who wants to rule the world." Alicia patted her full chest and sat back down.

Then, her expression gradually became serious.

"Möbius, you...you must have something else you want to say to me, right?"

“A few days ago in Kronos City, I captured a Herrscher,” Mebius calmly recounted. “After bringing him back to World Serpent, I extracted his Herrscher core and crafted it into a fairly functional item.”

She raised her hand and conjured a rose, handing it to Alicia. After Alicia took it and gently smelled it, she explained.

"Not bad, right? The Herrscher Core allows humans to wield power close to that of gods."

"..." Alicia slightly raised her hand and gently placed it on her chest. She also possessed the so-called Herrscher Core.

After the destruction of Kronos City, a large number of videos about the destruction of Kronos City were leaked. Although some of them were blurry, they gave her a bad feeling, especially recently... There were rumors that the Kronos City massacre was caused by the war monster created by Mebius.

That's why she decided to go to the World Serpent to investigate the situation, but she didn't expect that Mebius was already waiting for her arrival.

Could it be that he wants to hunt her down and obtain her Herrscher core?

“As expected, Alicia, you’re a Herrscher too.” Mebius smiled, extending her fair hand. “After mastering the power of a Herrscher, I feel like I’m omnipotent.”

She spoke with such certainty.

"I don't want this power to be in the hands of others."

"Mebius, do you want my Herrscher Core?" Alicia asked earnestly, and received an affirmative nod from Mebius.

Then, Mebius suddenly changed the subject: "Although I really want the Herrscher core, it would be such a waste and a pity to kill a beautiful girl like Alicia."

"...So?" Alicia blinked, somewhat confused by Mebius's thoughts.

He truly deserves to be called one of the top scientists of this era; he is incredibly enigmatic.

I have absolutely no idea what the other person is thinking.

“So, as long as we get married,” Mebius replied seriously, “Alicia will be mine, the Herrscher Core will be mine too, and you won’t have to die, Alicia.”

A logical genius!

Alicia stared in surprise, then covered her mouth and burst out laughing, "Aren't you afraid that after we get married, I'll run away, or poison you?"

“There is no poison on this planet that can kill me,” Mebius replied with a smile. After merging with Shesa, she was already difficult to kill, not to mention that she also possessed the spirit of the Infinite Serpent.

She has almost maxed out her immortality.

"I am a Herrscher, are you sure you'll be safe?" Alicia asked with a smile. Mebius didn't know about her abilities, what if they were a curse, or an ability that would kill if touched?

“It’s alright, I believe you wouldn’t want to kill me, Alicia,” Mebius replied with a smile, “as long as we get married.”

"Why would you want to marry me?" Alicia was conflicted. The other person kept bringing up the topic of marriage, which made her start to care.

Although Mebius was most likely joking.

"To demonstrate the difference between Herrschers and humans," Mebius rambled on, "I'm curious, if we could give birth to children, would they possess intelligence and physical strength that surpass human limits?"

“We’re all girls, how can we conceive?” Alicia rolled her eyes, only to be met with a look from Mebius as if she were an illiterate person.

"Gene technology is very advanced now. Is it a problem for girls to be together? We just need to solve the problem of getting a marriage certificate."

"Aren't there still many problems with the technology for girls to have children?" Tilting her head in confusion, Alicia knew that the technology did exist, but it was not very mature or developed.

“Because I want to, I can,” Möbius replied. “After I make my decision, I can be mature and successful tomorrow.”

"Is this the confidence of a genius?" Alicia exclaimed, clapping her hands in amazement. "As expected of Mebius, you are a genius among geniuses!"

"So, what's your answer?" Möbius asked with a smile.

Alicia seemed to think seriously for a while, and then revealed a sweet smile.

"No."

Chapter 58

An assistant is not only an assistant

"Is that so? That's a real shame." Mebius chuckled, not at all surprised by Alicia's rejection.

Moreover, even if Alicia really agreed, she wouldn't actually go and marry Alicia.

However, getting Alicia pregnant is definitely an option.

"Oh dear, I think I hurt your feelings." Alicia raised her hand to cover her lips. "But, it's also because Möbius was too hasty."

She winked playfully.

"We didn't even spend more than a day together."

“Indeed, we have plenty of time ahead of us.” Mebius gazed at the beautiful young woman, his emerald eyes filled with amusement. “After I deal with that thing.”

"That thing?" Alicia gently rested her chin on her hand. "What is it? A powerful villainous demon king?"

"If I had to put it simply, it's just a difference in perspectives." Mebius didn't elaborate much, naturally changing the subject. "Since you, Alicia, don't intend to marry me, then join the World Serpent."

"...Can you give me a reason?" Alicia's eyes became serious, her beautiful eyes reflecting Möbius's figure. She still couldn't figure out what Möbius's intentions were towards her.

“Actually, there isn’t much of a reason,” Möbius smiled. “I can handle that myself right now.”

She met Alicia's eyes.

"I guess I just want to get to know you guys and meet you."

"Oh, I see. Then I accept." Alicia clasped her hands together and smiled as she accepted Mebius's invitation.

For an ordinary person, the obvious choice would be to reject such vague and strange words from Mebius.

However, she was exceptionally sociable and could make friends with anyone, which meant she had a very strong ability to read people's expressions and discern emotions. Therefore, she was able to tell that Mebius was not lying.

They wanted to see her, and their reason was simply to see her.

Although she didn't know who "they" was that Mebius was referring to.

“Sometimes, Alicia, you’re really too perceptive.” Mebius smiled slightly, picked up the black tea on the table, and took a sip.

In fact, neither the Herrscher of the End nor the Cocoon of the End were particularly troublesome for her.

With the freedom to travel to multiple different worlds for training, it won't be long before she can completely resolve the Honkai issue.

At that time, it will not only elevate human civilization to the level of interstellar civilization, but may even achieve a higher level.

At least let's rub the civilization of those heavenly beings next door into a pulp.
