Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

Mebius's body adapted to the Honkai and gained superhuman strength.

After finishing the experiment, Cheng Xing went to the cold storage and found the mutated corpse. Looking at the corpse that had been tortured beyond recognition, a little blue light appeared in his hands, which sculpted the corpse back into its original form.

That was the woman who participated in the experiment yesterday but then backed out halfway through.

"I must be so useless, I must be so ugly."

The woman stood to the side, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said...

"Dr. Mebius had already told me about the consequences and the various possible pains when I came here, and I did come without any hesitation. But I still regretted it and was scared during the experiment."

The woman approached her own corpse and stroked its somewhat grotesque face.

"My death was meaningful, wasn't it? Humanity might truly gain the possibility of defeating the Honkai! Someone will surely avenge my children, my father, my mother, my lover, and even my relatives and friends. Someone will avenge their deaths!"

“I am an incompetent mother, an incompetent wife… I often regret the things I have done. I have regretted them since I was a child. I regret why I married a useless husband, why my children are not as good as other children, why my parents are not rich… I regret why I am so incompetent, so self-pitying, and even at the moment of my death, I regret the decisions I made.”

“I am so incompetent, so a failure.”

"........."

Cheng Xing was speechless.

"I still regret it. I regret why I went on that business trip. If I had died in a disaster with my family and my children at the same time, it would have been much better than this."

"…Sorry, I've been talking a bit too much at this point. I'm sure you're laughing at my rambling and incoherent words. After all, I'm such an old auntie, and I'm still so immature."

"Excuse me, if it's possible, could you please let me bury my body there? Thank you."

That personality disappeared.

Cheng Xing picked up the woman's body. Suddenly, a purple hole appeared in front of him. He carried the body inside and came to a scorched earth. Looking at the wasteland around him, which had been turned into ruins by nuclear bombs, he silently put the body down on the ground.

After the corpse fell to the ground, it transformed into countless flowers that drifted into the distant sky. At that moment, Cheng Xing vaguely saw everything around him turn into skyscrapers and a prosperous human city.

He saw the city.

There are working professionals who toil hard to earn more money for their families and support their parents and children. There are also vibrant and youthful students on campus, experiencing the joys of youth.

He heard about the city.

Children are crying, elderly people are coughing, adults are chatting and laughing, students are playing, women are gossiping, and all sorts of people are enacting all sorts of stories.

He could smell the city.

The smells of car fuel, cooked food, evaporating perfume, evaporating sweat, and the stench emanating from the garbage dump.

Then the Honkai descended upon the city, and the figure representing natural disaster stood in the sky, indifferently watching over this human city.

Cheng Xing witnessed the city collapsing, people dying, monsters slaughtering, and warriors, those who dared to resist, falling to the hooves of the Honkai Beasts.

Cheng Xing wanted to say something, but couldn't get the words out.

Chapter 79: A Shift in Thinking

Just when everything was plunged into hell, a flower suddenly bloomed in the city.

The flower enveloped everything, and boundless light and heat covered the land, causing all the scenes to dissipate like smoke and dust, just as dust on the ground was gently swept away by a broom.

The ground was clean yet desolate.

Cheng Xing watched all this, and he tried to reach out, but only a gentle breeze blew by, and he couldn't grasp anything.

The past is gone with the wind; those things that have already happened have drifted away in an unknown direction with that gust of wind.

Cheng Xing stared at his hands, and he suddenly realized that his hands not only had those mottled bloodstains, but also some dust...

A purple opening appeared, and Cheng Xing stepped inside, no longer filled with any doubt or confusion.

Möbius's madness shocked and angered those in power. They were surprised that Möbius had conducted human experiments without funding or official assistance from above, and angry at the emergence of this destabilizing factor.

"Dr. Möbius, while your research findings are indeed invaluable to us, your unauthorized human experimentation violates basic human morality and social norms. Your merits cannot overshadow your faults. After discussion, we have unanimously decided to temporarily suspend your access and suspend all personnel in your laboratory from their duties."

"As for when it will resume, we'll let you know."

The screen went black. Möbius snorted disdainfully, then threw his identification on the table and said to Cheng Xing, Klein, Danzhu, and Cangxuan who were standing to the side, "Let's go. We're no longer welcome here. Let's go back to our research institute."

That research institute located on the outskirts of Changkong City.

If it were the Möbius of the past, he would have been troubled by this, because without the financial and equipment resources of those guys, many experiments would not be able to continue.

But now he has a guy by his side who can solve all his problems.

Mebius glanced at Cheng Xing, who had an unremarkable appearance, and the more he looked, the more envious he became.

[A living Herrscher! And one with his own personality and will! I really don't know if Cheng Xing would be willing to be my test subject… He probably wouldn't, right? What should I do to get him to agree? This is so frustrating.]

This is Mebius's only worry right now.

"Doctor, even if we can perfectly replicate the experimental equipment at the previous base after we go back, we will lack the source of Honkai Beasts and zombies, and we will not have equipment to reliably obtain Honkai energy... I think I should take over some of the experiments."

On the way back, Cheng Xing took the initiative.

Möbius, however, was not pleased. Looking at Cheng Xing's serious expression, she asked solemnly, "Cheng Xing, are you serious? This isn't just a momentary impulse. Do you know what kind of pain you'll experience during the experiment? Don't let that incident make you so extreme."

That matter was, of course, the previous human experiments.

"I'm fine, and I have no intention of sacrificing myself. Doctor, believe me, I'll be alright... I just want fewer people to die."

"I understand. Since you've already made up your mind, then I agree... Anyway, I couldn't be happier."

Mebius looked happy as he hummed a song.

Cheng Xing calmly looked out the window at the sky. On the plane, in the world above the clouds, there was a strange sense of tranquility.

"Kid, you're insane! How could anyone conduct human experiments on themselves? You weren't traumatized by the deaths of people in that city, were you? You don't actually think your naive actions can save others, do you?"

A man appeared in the back seat of Cheng Xing. The man's voice was full of sarcasm. Cheng Xing was familiar with this voice; it was that of an old man in his personality who often spoke sarcastically to him during experiments.

"I really envy the spirit of dedication of young people, unlike us... haha, we only know how to force others. I wish I had been that courage back then."

"Heh, come on, I still remember how much you cried and vomited when you first started out. It took you more than a year to get used to it, and then you lived numbly like a robot."

"You're exposing my weaknesses, aren't you! I remember when you went to kowtow to those kids and apologize after you got drunk, that scene! Goodness, you were in bed complaining of pain for days."

For some reason, the two became increasingly agitated, almost to the point of a full-blown fight.

"Fight! Fight!"

Several more personalities emerged and stood in the aisle, shouting at the two guys.

A group of people who didn't mind stirring things up started fanning the flames.

"Hmph, I don't want to be made a fool of like a monkey by you!"

The first person to mock Cheng Xing snorted and logged off.

"Tch! They're just afraid they can't beat me."

Another said dismissively.

Cheng Xing rubbed his head in exasperation. Why were these guys so noisy? He was beginning to understand the suffering of schizophrenic patients. It was truly torturous to have someone constantly talking in your ear all day long, and occasionally popping out to scare you!

Cheng Xing once again had the urge to tell these guys to get lost, but unfortunately, he still couldn't control these personalities.

Unfortunately, during the rest of the journey, these guys seemed to understand Cheng Xing's desire for peace and quiet, so they didn't say anything or suddenly appear to scare anyone. This made Cheng Xing feel much relieved, and he was able to have a comfortable sleep.

They didn't know how much time had passed, but when they woke up, it was already night outside. Since it was impossible for the group to return to the research institute at this time, they simply took a taxi to Cheng Xing's house and stayed there.

Wow! Cheng Xing! I didn't know you were really that rich!

Danzhu looked at the detached villa, her eyes shining.

"Based on the current market price and location, this villa is worth at least several million... It's really impressive."

Cang Xuan looked away from his phone and at the young man who was only about 17 years old.

"Stop sighing there and come in quickly," Mebius said with practiced ease, pulling a key from under the carpet and opening the door. "Cheng Xing, I'm hungry. The food on the plane is really awful. Quickly make me a bowl of noodles."

"Yes, Doctor."

Seeing the two of them acting so skillfully, Danzhu stared at Klein beside her in disbelief and asked, "When did these two get together?"

"You're only just realizing this?"

Cangxuan gazed calmly at Danzhu.

"…………I have no idea."

Klein shook her head; she couldn't say.

Chapter 80: Self-Experiment

"That will has already begun to erode us... We don't know if the remaining time will be enough for us to leave enough knowledge for the remaining humanity."

"I wonder if that kid can learn what we're teaching him. It doesn't seem very reliable."

"Trust him, at least he didn't firmly decide to have me shot, did he?"

"Haha! That makes sense!"

Cheng Xing opened his eyes, rubbing his head with a headache. He felt like he hadn't slept well the night before, as he kept hearing a vague sound that he couldn't quite make out, which made his sleep particularly bad.

After returning yesterday, Cheng Xing successfully made some noodles for everyone to enjoy using the ingredients he had pre-ordered before boarding the plane. In particular, one guy at the table asked a very strange question.

"Cheng Xing, Cheng Xing! Can you tell us how you started dating Dr. Möbius? Did you feel a lot of pressure during your relationship?"

Danzhu asked the question she wanted to know directly, and in front of Dr. Möbius.

Mebius looked at Danju with a strange expression, then stopped talking and continued to enjoy his noodles.

Cheng Xing raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a puzzled expression, asking, "Why do you think I would date a PhD?"

"But you two are so in sync, and the doctor even knows where you keep your house key. All these signs indicate that you two are dating."

Danzhu continued to press for answers, while Cangxuan calmly ate his noodles. At this moment, if someone comes along to ask you the questions you want to ask, let her focus on drawing attention away from the problem.

Klein, without making a sound, began to observe the expressions of the two.

Cheng Xing immediately shook his head and said, "My relationship with the doctor can only be considered as friendship at most. Even if it develops further, it will only reach the level of confidants. If we were to become lovers... I can't imagine it."

"That's right. For me, having companions and witnesses is enough. As for companions who walk with me, they are just a burden."

At this moment, Möbius spoke up, without any hesitation or reservation, saying to the others, "I don't need love."
