I am the former civilized hero.

"I don't know." He shook his head slightly, his eyes swept over the information of the Honkai beast, and he already had a vague goal in mind.

Either he has special abilities, or he is at the end of his dharma level!

Chapter 130: Sakura finally grew ears!

Crash.

Pouring hot water on his head refreshed his tired spirit. Ryan stroked his chest muscles, which had only some shallow scars.

He killed Shesha and actually gained some repair capabilities from the side, so there was no need to take the risk of doing it again.

Being cautious is Ryan's habit. Without being able to figure out the essence of fate, everything is metaphysics. Unless the situation is urgent, there is no need to gamble.

"If you inject one super-mutation factor and then want a second or third one, you will kill yourself sooner or later."

Ryan walked out of the bathroom with a towel draped over his face, water dripping down his shoulder-length black hair. Of course he knew about the 'Chimera Project', but this thing had just started, so why was he in such a hurry to be a test subject?

Besides, there is still room for improvement in the super-mutation factor itself, and the improvement brought about by artificial collapse is equally terrifying. I am not a fusion warrior.

He pulled up a chair, made some coffee, and leisurely looked at the documents on the table. After more than a month, the new identity recognition had been issued.

CM002, this is his new identification code, proving that he is the second upper-level fusion warrior. There is a small bracket at the end, which says [Shesha] Judgment Level.

The Fire Council was very angry. Two superior fusion warriors were born without their knowledge. When Mobius was about to take away Shesha's body, he only said that he was conducting theoretical research.

This was definitely not in accordance with procedure, at least it was not a historic moment under supervision, but they couldn't let Mebius and Ryan spit it out, so they finally accepted the reality and just took away all the surgical information as compensation.

"Besides allowing Mobius to obtain CM001, this rather 'honorable' number has only one benefit for me, which is that I no longer have to use my authority in secret."

Ryan took a sip of coffee. He merged the Shesha gene and gained the power to control "lightning". This made sense. He wouldn't be stupid enough to introduce the nature of his power while fighting.

On the other hand, Ryan also discovered the biggest difference between "understanding" and "integration".

What Mebius gained was immortality, while he himself gained a high-speed repair at a price.

"It's a degraded version, or I didn't understand it thoroughly enough at that moment. It's a pity that the Herrscher cores have lost their activity, otherwise I would have put them all into my body."

He put down the cup, opened a blank document, and took this opportunity to make a summary of his work.

"The authority of the Herrscher of Thunder, the upper limit of Honkai energy is 1200HW, and the available abilities are mental interference and high-speed repair."

Considering that it has been less than a year since he left Qianyu Academy, Ryan is already satisfied enough. You know, the combat power of human beings is now expanding explosively. When he was in academy, he couldn't even beat a lower-level fusion warrior.

After hesitating for a moment, he deleted the entire string of text and continued typing.

Fusion of the super-mutation factor, the authority of the Herrscher, and the Key of God, raising the upper limit of Honkai energy.

Ryan typed out a string of characters, his gray eyes staring at each paragraph as he thought carefully. These were the four ways for him to become stronger.

"The first goal is to increase Honkai energy to 2000 HW, completely surpass the threshold of Herrscher level, and then talk about the use of authority."

No matter how good the skills are, they still need 'magic points' to be used. After reviewing the battle with the Fourth Herrscher, Ryan found that the problem lies in this.

If the speed was faster and the destructive power was greater, the Herrscher of Wind would have died in his hands long ago and would have had no chance of escape.

"It's still the powerful flying brick. It's just that quantitative change can't lead to qualitative change, otherwise I would have been killing people all over the world. This is actually the most difficult part, but other aspects are going smoothly."

Ryan smiled. He was not doing the dungeon alone and could make up for it from other places.

The construction of the small group went smoothly, and a hilltop had been formed inside the Fire Moth, but there was no way to counter it from above.

"This is all thanks to the Fourth Herrscher. As long as she's alive, these little geniuses won't be able to live in peace. They can only agree to my conditions and watch their group grow stronger."

The Herrscher doesn't have to be killed to be used. Ryan said long ago that he is dirtier than anyone else in playing tactics.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door. Ryan deleted the document, walked over in his pajamas, and saw Klein standing at the door.

"Is the operation complete?"

"Well, the first stage of the operation has been completed, and Miss Sakura has woken up." Klein swallowed and took a breath, "But there was a small accident."

Accident?

Ryan's heart suddenly tightened. What he feared most was accidents. After all, becoming a fusion warrior depended on one's luck. Who knew if luck could be conserved?

"Give me a minute."

He closed the door, changed his clothes, put on his white coat, and walked hurriedly towards the operating room without being too nervous.

It was just a small accident. If Sakura had died directly, Mobius would have called her a long time ago.

Ryan walked quickly and arrived at the operating room in a few minutes. Mebius was standing at the door with his hands in his pockets, nodding at the camera above his head.

The parliament provided the corpse of the Honkai beast, on the condition that they must observe the entire surgical process and supervise Mebius' work. They must not let the talent they selected be killed inexplicably.

This is purely judging others by one's own standards. Ryan can still distinguish between major contradictions and minor contradictions.

"how?"

"The operation went smoothly, there were just some minor incidents. Here are the data."

Ryan took over a thick stack of surgical materials, which were covered with various charts and data. The super-mutation factor used by Sakura originated from the emperor-level Honkai beast [Yasha], and Mebius could be said to have become proficient in it with practice.

All three experimental subjects recommended by the Fire Council died, without exception. Their average success rate was around 24%, which seemed high, but none of them survived.

Sakura's success rate is 36.7%, which is actually not a big advantage, so Ryan is worried.

"Mild mutation? What does that mean?"

"Literally, you didn't sleep yourself into insanity, did you?" Mebius yawned and patted Ryan's shoulder. "I don't know why I've been feeling sleepy lately. I'll leave it to you from now on."

"Hey, you are the surgeon in charge."

Ryan turned his head, and found that Mebius had disappeared, as if he had flashed. Each step of her high heels covered more than ten meters, making her look like a ghost.

Damn it, he's showing off in front of me again. He doesn't even want to go to the battlefield. What's the point of being so strong?

Ryan spat, opened the door of the operating room, and saw a pink figure sitting beside the bed, looking at his palm in a daze.

Sakura was wrapped in a thin white sheet. If you look closely, you can see two bulges on her chest. Ryan took a quick glance and didn't find anything unusual. Finally, he looked at her head.

Although the head was also covered under the sheets, there was an obvious curvature.

"Sakura, your head......."

The girl's cold expression suddenly froze for a moment. She didn't know how to answer and stammered, "There were some unexpected events during the operation."

"Let me take a look, it's no big deal."

"But." Sakura seemed to be very concerned about the hidden things. Seeing Ryan's determined eyes, she had to slowly remove the sheets.

Sure enough, is this a fixed genetic mutation?

What was exposed was a pair of ears, pink, furry ears. Upon closer inspection, they were shorter than the original world line. It turned out that the hypothesis was effective.

The phased injection was indeed a little shorter, which made no difference to Sakura, but meant a lot to Kevin.

When Ryan first saw Sakura, he always felt that something was missing. When he saw the long ears, he couldn't help but smile.

That’s right, this completes it.

He walked over, stretched out his finger and poked it lightly, and saw that the ears immediately trembled like a pair of living things, and when he reached out his hand again, they would dodge.

"Please, please don't tease me..."

Just when he was about to poke her for the third time, he heard a faint sound. He lowered his head and saw Sakura with her arms folded across her chest, her face flushed, and even a layer of mist forming in her purple eyes.

Ryan was stunned for a moment. In his impression, Ying had always been a cold killer, sharp yet gentle. He had never seen her look so soft before. But he quickly came to his senses.

“This donkey ear, is it more than just a decoration?”

"Yes, I don't know why. When you touch it, I feel a strange feeling. Also, Dr. Mebius said these are fox ears!"

Are fox ears this long? Well, that doesn't matter.

Ryan glanced at the girl's expression, pinched his chin, and carefully observed the trembling ear: "It seems that you mind it?"

Ying's expression suddenly darkened, and she hugged her chest tighter: "This is the price. It is also a sign that I am no longer human. I... seem to have become a monster."

So that's how it is. Not everyone is as obsessed with not being human as Mobius is. Just like the pure-bloods, they have always been obsessed with maintaining the purity of human bloodline. People with similar ideas are the majority in this world.

Ryan thought about what happened in San Diego. He stopped the hurricane and saved millions of people, but he did not receive anyone's thanks. He still remembers those gazes that were like they were looking at a monster.

Are humans incapable of gratitude? No, they just instinctively reject those who are different from them.

"Are you worried that these ears will cause you to be discriminated against and stared at with disgust?"

"A little bit, but I'm more worried about what Ling will think." Sakura was a little uneasy. For a killer, this was weakness.

"Don't worry, no matter what you become, the fact that you are a sister will never change. You have to have more faith in Ling." Ryan showed a gentle smile and gently touched the girl's head. "As for me personally, these ears are quite cute."

cute?

Her long ears trembled slightly. Ying expected Ryan not to be disgusted, but she didn't expect it to be this evaluation. However, his eyes made her feel at ease.

"Thank you Ryan, you are such a gentle person."

Tenderness, perhaps.

Ryan did not refute, but his smile was somewhat sarcastic.

False gentleness is just saying nice things. Real gentleness is being able to crush your enemy's head and provide psychological counseling to your companions. This method is also very simple.

"Sakura, take your knife and follow me."

"Ah? What did you say?"

"I said bring a knife and follow me. There is only one way that can make you forget your inferiority complex—" Ryan clenched his fists and answered his own question.

“The texture brought by power!”

Chapter 131 Another Psychological Counseling

Ryan has always had special psychological counseling skills, just like when he was in Neon, he comforted Kevin who was full of confusion when he stepped into the battlefield from school.

Ryan beat him up and told him: Since you have decided to embark on this path, you are still far from the despair you are facing.

The effect was later proved to be very good. The last trace of immaturity in Kevin was physically eliminated, and he became a qualified fighter from then on.

Then treating Sakura is also very simple, just follow the prescription and take the medicine.

Just outside the Fifth Research Institute, in the uninhabited Gobi Desert, dry sand blew past, gently caressing the two people’s hair.
