Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"You golden retriever, you're such a loser! How old are you?! You're still eyeing other people's young girls! Have you no shame?!"

Otto was stunned for a moment after being yelled at by Joyce, and it wasn't until he took several punches to the face that he came to his senses.

Oh no, my old friend has seen something terrible.

Then, unsurprisingly, he received several more punches to the face.

"Walter Joyce, you know nothing! This is my wife!"

Now that things had come to this, the Archbishop of Destiny stopped pretending and roared as he punched back.

"Stop being shameless, Otto! Don't you even know how old you are? And how old is this little girl?!"

"Even the phrase 'an old cow eating young grass' doesn't even begin to describe you!"

"Finally! This is my fiancée from back then!!! We even have a child together!!"

Enraged, Otto Apocalypse went completely berserk, spouting all sorts of nonsense. The only saving grace was that the soundproofing in the Archbishop of Schicksal's office was excellent, preventing anything from getting out and leaving the Valkyries of the Undying Blade, who were stuck at the office door, unable to leave or go anywhere, completely oblivious to what was happening.

"Fiancée, already has a child???"

"Alright, you shill! I, the embodiment of justice, can no longer stand idly by—!!!"

In his daze, Joyce had forgotten the existence and background of the blonde girl. He was shocked to learn that this scumbag had a child with a young woman before marriage, and that the time period was "back then".

Joyce, whose rage was instantly filled, summoned the three Stands—past, present, and future—once again, turning a fair one-on-one situation into a four-on-one duel brimming with martial virtue. Oh... martial virtue was on Joyce's side—after all, the Bishop of Destiny had now become, in the eyes of the leader of Anti-Entropy, a creature more despicable than frog piss.

Bishop Otto, realizing the absurd ambiguity of his earlier statement, was about to explain when he was engulfed by four pairs of steel fists.

...

"Hmm...it seems I misunderstood Otto, but he deserved it."

"In short, it was really awesome!"

Reflecting on the moment, Joyce, sitting on the constructed plastic chair, excitedly slapped her thigh, looking as if she hadn't had enough.

"It feels like you've just righteously executed Dad... Is he still alive?"

Snow twitched his lips and sat down in another chair, looking at the person next to him.

"Of course! I told him I wouldn't kill you, so I'll definitely keep my promise!"

"There's only the air intake left, I guess."

Joyce scratched her chin and said uncertainly.

"There's still air intake left, then it's fine."

Hearing that his father was still angry, Snow immediately turned around and joined the conversation of the group of people sitting around the table.

"That's right. To become a Fusion Warrior, you need to find the genes of high-level Honkai Beasts—and at the very least, you need to start with an Emperor-level Honkai Beast."

“We’ve used up all the genetic samples from the previous civilization, so we need to make this ourselves. However, with the help of Ms. Wuni and Mr. Joyce, we don’t need to go through such a complicated production process—of course, Ms. Himeko can have it done if she wants a bit of a ritual.”

"Back then, some warriors did indeed use the high-level Honkai Beasts they hunted as samples for their modification surgeries—"

Wearing a doctor's white coat, Su tapped on the instruction manual spread out on the table, explaining to the patient undergoing surgery the various characteristics that would result from combining Honkai Beasts with humans.

"Miss Himeko, you are the kind of warrior who likes to charge into battle personally, so let's first exclude the mental type of Honkai Beasts, and then exclude most of the defensive-type super-mutant factors whose personalities are more aggressive and offensive."

"That leaves only these few..."

Su showed the appearance of a few scattered Honkai Beasts, then noticed a Honkai Beast marked as non-heavenly, and decisively crossed it out.

"One of these, like Thousand Tribulations, is enough..."

"How about we have Himeko use similar factors..."

Fu Hua frowned as she looked at the still considerable number of Honkai Beast Factor options in front of her and offered her thoughts...

"Yes, that's my opinion too, Hua. With Himeko's personality... perhaps this type of Honkai Beast, which has high healing power and is also aggressive, would be quite suitable for her."

Su nodded.

"Then this is it. Even a Valkyrie who studies science and engineering can't understand this kind of thing. I'll just listen to you professionals."

Himeko slammed her hand on the table and made a final decision on the renovation plan.

Then everyone turned to look at Benares, who was watching the drama unfold.

"Wait a minute... why are you all looking at me...???"

The Dragon Girl sensed something was wrong.

"Hold her down and get the footage!"

"Then I'll take care of cutting off the tail!"

There seems to be some strange noise mixed in.

"Don't come any closer!!!"

Chapter 185: The ingredients must be fresh.

Following the strange principle that what is manifested is not as fresh as what is taken out first, the few people on the Hermes, who were in the imaginary space, decisively reached out their claws to the dragon girl.

The blue-gray-haired dragon girl was pinned to the ground by several Herrschers and Fusion Warriors, leaving the little doll Sirin utterly dumbfounded.

Immediately, to Benares's astonishment, Dr. Su pulled out a power drill and a chainsaw...

"Why a power drill?! Are all human doctors this terrifying?!"

The dragon girl decisively began her desperate struggle, while the doll Sirin, who originally wanted to save her beloved Beibei Dragon, shrank back when she saw the amused expressions on the faces of the people around her, fearing that the group would also make fun of her on a whim.

"Well... after all, it's the skin of a Honkai Beast—there's no point in using ordinary scalpels and syringes, right?"

Su smiled and started the electric drill in his hand, looking at the dragon girl in front of him, and explained as if it were a matter of course.

"This is a specially made extractor for the Fire Moth... We usually use it to drill through the skin and outer carapace of Honkai Beasts to extract their genetic material."

"Rest assured, rationally speaking, Honkai Beasts are not as sensitive to pain as humans—we have dissected many Judgment-class and Emperor-class Honkai Beasts—their pain nerves are much sparser than those of humans, with a large number of nerves only distributed near vital points."

"Although I don't know the principle behind your human form, Miss Benares, it must be similar, right?"

Su, a medical researcher, is now making a rude and irresponsible statement.

"You better figure this out properly!!! No—don't come any closer!!!"

"At worst, you could use anesthesia—"

The sound came abruptly, and Wuni, who was holding a hammer, waved her hand to disperse the weapon in her hand.

"You need kinetic anesthesia.jpg"

She nodded to the group of people beside her as if it were the most natural thing in the world, revealing an innocent smile. This made the doll Sirin, who was huddled to the side, shudder. She was glad that she hadn't jumped out to be the first to speak up... otherwise, there might have been more than just one dragon lying there being passively anesthetized.

"Well done, Miss Wuni."

Sue gave a thumbs-up to the silver-haired girl who had just committed the murder, grabbed Benares's arm, and pressed the strange drill extractor against it to start drilling.

As expected, just as Su had guessed, sparks flew from the seemingly delicate and fair arm of the unconscious dragon girl, and the drilling of the hole in Bella's arm did not even cause the dragon girl's hand to twitch instinctively due to pain.

"Yes, our theory was correct after all."

With sparks flying from the drill in his hand and the Benares motionless, Sue nodded.

"Indeed, practice is the best way to prove a theory."

It seemed that the drill had finally broken through the dragon girl's skin. The drill, which had been making a whirring noise, stopped working. A thin needle emerged from the center of the drill and was inserted into it, from which some kind of blood that emitted a strange blue-gold light was extracted.

"Hmm... blue and gold...? What is this...?"

Although Su had seen the blood of many Honkai Beasts and other biological species, this was the first time he had ever seen such strange, glowing blood.

"Does it contain some kind of energy... Honkai energy? But Honkai energy usually manifests as a dark purple color..."

"If it's golden, then that's the imaginary seed I gave her..."

Just as Sue was confused, Snow explained the source of the golden light in the blood.

"As for the blue blood, it's not strange at all. Although it's rare, it's not unusual either."

"The Seed of Imaginary Numbers...? So, Miss Benares isn't a humanoid Honkai Beast anymore, but rather something like the guardians within the Imaginary Number Tree?"

“That’s right, but those things don’t have any genes to extract. They also contain some elements of Honkai Beasts—this imaginary energy has little effect on the Fusion Warrior surgery and will dissipate quickly.”

"So...why does this dragon girl possess the Imaginary Number Seed...?"

"Oh, when I found her, she was submerged in a frozen lake in Siberia. The core that the purple cat's-eye snail had used to help her solidify had been shattered—"

"This dragon girl's rationality, intelligence, and emotions were all nurtured by that core seed. Once it shattered, it was naturally taken over by the instincts of a wild beast."

"Then, at that time, I had just left the Imaginary Tree. When I left, I took a lot of things from there, including this Imaginary Seed. To save trouble, I replaced the core with this thing and super-fused it with her."

"Anyway, it's quite useful."

"I see. It seems this Miss Long is quite lucky."

As the syringe finished extracting the blood, it emitted a microwave-like "ding" sound. Su pulled out the syringe, and the golden glow of the blue-gold blood in the container quickly dimmed and disappeared after losing its power source, leaving only the original blue color of the blood.

"Next comes the fusion process... Speaking of which, Hua, the modifications and experiments you underwent back then were nothing short of a miracle."

Su examined the extracted blood, and looking at Fu Hua's phantom beside him, seemed to realize something and sighed.

"A miracle? Uh... what happened during my modification surgery?"

"Well, of course it's Dr. Möbius, and sometimes Dr. Möbius... You should know Dr. Möbius's personality, and yet you always agree..."

"In your fusion warrior modification, the super-mutant factor used by that doctor was specially made... but what exactly was added... perhaps only that doctor, who is no longer with us, knows."

"Ah...and all the messy things you went through afterward...maybe luck really is part of your ability."

Thinking about the past, Su pouted helplessly.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Ms. Himeko. Please come with me. The preparations for the Fusion Warrior surgery will take some time. In the meantime, please come and visit us. According to the arrangement of that blond kid from the Kevin family, it would be best if you didn't appear in Schicksal's sight for a while."

"Kevin does have an organization left behind in the present world, where I can perform some post-operative preparations."

"Oh, can't we do it now?"

Himeko was clearly impatient.

"Although we can suppress the danger Hua mentioned to nothing, in order to ensure the success of the surgery, both the reagents and your body, Ms. Himeko, need to be adjusted accordingly."

"And madam, are you sure you want to have surgery in a place like this?"
