The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Although he was indeed the one who was hurt, it was his choice and he took the initiative to do it, so there is no reason to hold others responsible for it.

What's more, just as Ji Zi said, Li Shubai also chose to use this method to transform the body of Ji Zi in the original world after careful consideration.

Although there are far more ways to transform the body than this, to give the simplest example, if he wants, asking Dr. Mebius on the Hyperion to help Himeko perform super transformation surgery is also one of the backup options.

But the risks and unpredictability of super-transformation surgery are too great.

First of all, given the physical condition of Jizi in the original world, which has been corroded by artificial stigmata to the point where her life span is almost exhausted, there is a high probability that it will not be enough to support Jizi to survive the super transformation surgery safely.

Furthermore, even if Ji Zi managed to survive the super transformation surgery and successfully became a fusion warrior with artificial stigmata, it does not mean that she will have no worries.

Super transformation surgery is not a mature technology. Except for very few special cases, in most cases, its effect on improving the physical fitness of soldiers is not as obvious as that of stigmata.

And the more important point is... the essence of the super-mutation surgery is to make humans mutate in non-human directions. After becoming a fusion warrior, it will be difficult to further strengthen and transform Ji Zi's body.

Compared with super-transformation surgery, implanting natural stigmata into Jizi's body not only has relatively controllable risks, but also subsequent problems can be better handled.

At the very beginning, in the last civilization era, the original purpose of the Stigma Project was to allow human will to be directly connected to the imaginary space, so that the holders of the Stigma would have the ability to directly draw energy from the imaginary space, similar to the Herrscher; or even to surpass the Herrscher's original ability and allow human consciousness to have the ability to leave the body and enter the imaginary space, but the result was a failure.

Although both the Stigmata Project and the Stigmata themselves were failed products of an experiment conducted in the previous civilization era with results that completely failed to meet the standards, compared to the failure of the super-transformation surgery, the Stigmata Project was actually realized at the end of the previous civilization era.

Its so-called failure is simply [failure to achieve the expected goal].

Although Li Shubai felt a little regretful that he could not obtain the most special Kaslana stigma, if we only talk about the quality of the stigma, the natural stigma held by Ji Lin, the ancestor of Taichu, is of the highest quality and ability. In addition, due to its age, compared with other natural stigma in this era, the natural stigma held by Ji Lin has not been diluted by other bloodlines due to the generational change.

After considering the risks, plasticity, growth, and the ultimate limit, Li Shubai finally chose to use this method to transform Ji Zi's body.

So, he didn't think his decision was wrong.

And that’s not all…

Li Shubai glanced at Ji Zi's complicated expression. Although his posture of being scolded remained unchanged, anyone could see that there was a look of indifference in his eyes that he was too lazy to even hide.

"What's with that look in your eyes?" Seeing Li Shubai's eyes full of disdain and impatience, Ji Zi felt provoked and suddenly felt angry. "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"No, it's nothing. What you said is correct." Li Shubai turned his head away and said lightly, "It's just that I don't think you have the qualifications to say that about me."

"Oh?" Ji Zi narrowed her eyes slightly, with a dangerous look in her eyes that seemed to be about to explode. "Then tell me why I have no right to say anything about you?"

"It's a very simple truth." Li Shubai said, "Teacher Ji Zi, do you want to push something that you can't even do to others?"

"..."

In an instant, after Li Shubai's calm words fell, the scene in the Holy Scar Space suddenly froze.

Ji Zi stared at Li Shubai, who looked calm, with a look of rage on her face. However, she seemed to be choked by the anger and couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

Silent silence dominated the entire stigmata space. After a long while, Ji Zi managed to utter a few words: "Can your situation be the same as mine?"

"It's different." Li Shubai said sarcastically, "At least I know I can't die. And as far as the result is concerned, my choice not only helped you solve your physical problems in the Eigenworld, but also strengthened my will to some extent. Although I wasted a dose of emergency resuscitation injection, compared with your situation, it is really much better."

"But in terms of the result, wasn't I rescued by you at that time?" Ji Zi's face was stiff, and she looked away with a guilty look, "Otherwise, how could I still be standing here."

"Yes, I saved her, but she can never go back to that world, nor can she see Kiana from that world." Li Shubai had no expression on his face, and he clapped his hands mechanically. "That's great, do you want me to give you a thumbs up?"

“……” So Ji Zi fell into complete autism and stopped talking.

In the circle of holy marks surrounding Li Shubai, the blonde girl Bianca looked at Jizi and Li Shubai, tilted her head, and looked confused. Then she leaned close to her mother Cecilia's ear and asked curiously, "Mom, why do I feel... the quarrel between Captain brother and Aunt Jizi... is a little strange?"

"When you grow up, you will understand." Cecilia stroked her precious daughter's golden hair and sighed: "After all, whether it is the captain or Ji Zi, their starting point is to consider each other."

"We are both thinking about each other, so why are we arguing?" Bianca lowered her head slightly, and seemed a little depressed. "Can't we just talk it out?"

"Although their starting point is for each other, at the same time, both the captain and Himeko have very strong egos." Siegfried, who was standing next to Bianca, shook his head helplessly and whispered, "Himeko doesn't want to see the captain get hurt because of her own affairs. Similarly, the captain can't bear to see Himeko's physical condition. He would rather pay a price and use what he thinks is the best method to heal Himeko... On this issue, they can't convince each other with just reasoning, so in the end, it will only become like this, venting emotions to each other."

"Hmm... I don't understand." Bianca covered her ears and shook her head. "This is so troublesome. I absolutely don't want to become such an adult!"

"..."

"..."

Cecilia and Siegfried both fell into silence with strange expressions on their faces.

Back to Jizi.

After being choked by Li Shubai and unable to refute, Ji Zi pursed her lips and glared at him fiercely: "You spoke so confidently to me in the Stigmata Space, let's see how you will explain it to Wuliangta Ji Zi in the Eigenworld."

"Don't worry about it." Li Shubai showed an indifferent look and shrugged exaggeratedly, "She won't know about this."

"Heh." Ji Zi sneered, "Then you really underestimate my intelligence. Do you believe that you will be blocked by Ji Zi from the Eigen world this afternoon?"

"..." Now it was Li Shubai's turn to remain silent.

Indeed... He also didn't believe that Ji Zi from the Eigenworld would not be able to associate her body with him after noticing such drastic changes in her body.

But even though he felt guilty, he would never say that he was cowardly.

"So what?" Li Shubai curled his lips. "If I'm really discovered, the worst that can happen is that I'll say that I went for her body in order to get her to give herself to me. At that time, will Ji Zi, who knows that I have ulterior motives, still care about other things?"

"Impossible!" Li Shubai's tone was quite arrogant and presumptuous.

Anyway, everyone here has the consciousness of the Holy Mark, and no one can see what happens here except the will of the Holy Mark.

So, with this in mind, Li Shubai, who had already experienced social death more than once in the real world, completely let himself go in the Stigmata space with an extremely relaxed mood: "Besides, I didn't lie. I like all the Valkyries on my ship. It's not a lie to say that I went for her."

The second time, the entire Holy Mark space instantly fell into a silence even greater than the last time.

After hearing Li Shubai's arrogant words, everyone fell silent and stared at Li Shubai's face with weird eyes.

"Oh? Did I hear it right?" Ji Zi, who had just been choked by Li Shubai and had to rack her brains to think of a rebuttal, suddenly felt relieved. The corners of her mouth slightly raised with a hint of pleasure, and her eyes were full of amusement and teasing. "The captain just said that if Ji Zi from the Eigenworld found out, she would say that the reason she did this was to get her body... right?"

Looking at Ji Zi's expression that was a mixture of amusement and ridicule, Li Shubai instinctively felt that something was wrong.

But he thought carefully about his situation.

First of all, I have only known Ji Zi from the Eigen world for two days.

Secondly, Ji Zi had been expressing suspicion towards him since last night, and had been trying to monitor him until the evening.

Finally, what he confirmed after repeated confirmation was that... Ji Zi from the Eigenworld was definitely not a member of his ship, and she had not experienced the consciousness mapping of the few [Muliangta Ji Zi] on the ship who might have a good impression of her.

From these situations, Li Shubai can draw two conclusions in total.

First, it is impossible for Ji Zi in the original world to have a good impression of him, and it is naturally impossible for her to simply accept his proposal just because of what she did.

Just because he saved her life, he wanted her to marry him? How could such a good thing happen! How could Ji Zi accept his words! Impossible! If Ji Zi really chose to marry him, then he, Li Shubai! On the spot! He would eat the Hyperion!

Second, by the same token, after the Infinite Tower Himeko of the Eigenworld learned that he had ulterior motives, it was impossible for her to express similar anger towards him like Himeko in the Stigmata space did.

Although he might still feel angry, that should be the anger that his own motives were so impure.

At that time, even if he was scolded, Li Shubai would not be as reluctant as he is now. He could do such a thing, so isn't it natural for him to be scolded?

To sum up, although what I just said was just talk in front of Ji Zi in the Stigmata Space at the beginning, after actual consideration, I found that it was surprisingly feasible.

So Li Shubai nodded arrogantly, waved his arm, and said decisively: "That's right! I said that! What's wrong?"

As if to confirm that he would never become like Rita and inexplicably fall, after making such an assertion, Li Shubai was silent for a moment, and tentatively asked Ji Zi: "You in the original world should not be able to pledge your love to me for such a thing, right!"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's right! That's it." Ji Zi nodded hurriedly. Knowing that Li Shubai was testing her, Ji Zi's expression became serious. She scolded Li Shubai in a righteous tone without any personal emotions: "I didn't expect that the captain would have such a crooked idea! I really misjudged you! People like you, getting hurt is just your own fault! You deserve it!"

Yes! That's right! After receiving such a serious response from Ji Zi, Li Shubai nodded in agreement. That's it. This is how a good teacher should be worthy of his students and Dean Theresa!

What am I thinking? How could Ji Zi be such an unprincipled person! When Li Shubai thought that he had doubted for a second that Wuliangta Ji Zi might really be willing to marry him, he suddenly felt ashamed.

The Holy Mark Wills who stood in a circle around Li Shubai and Ji Zi who were facing each other looked at each other, and couldn't help but raise their arms together, covering their faces helplessly, as if they couldn't bear to watch the scene in front of them.

"When it comes to feelings, our captain is still too young." Siegfried shook his head with a helpless smile.

Poor captain, he was played around by Ji Zi.

Everyone showed a subtle expression, even Otto and Cecilia.

Only Bianca, for some reason, seemed to feel an inexplicable sadness and lowered her head without saying a word.

I am outside! I must not lose to this mean aunt! I must be aware that something is wrong! I cannot give him the captaincy.

Deep in her heart, the little blonde girl silently cheered for her grown-up self in the Eigenworld - Yulandel.

Chapter 4 Walter's Worries (k)

Accompanied by a feeling similar to waking up from a dream, Li Shubai opened his eyes as he returned to reality from the Stigmata space amid the alternation of consciousness.

The sound of the school bell ringing echoed in my ears. The noisy laughter of students gradually stopped and everyone returned to their seats.

The time is now nine fifty. After a short break, the second morning class arrived as scheduled. The teacher of the second class had already taken his position next to the podium before the bell rang.

Li Shubai rubbed his sleepy eyes, covered his mouth, yawned silently, and then raised his head from the desk.

The second class was a brief history of the world, so when Li Shubai raised his head, he was not surprised to see the face of his world history teacher.

When Li Shubai saw the face that he had seen in the Stigmata Space not long ago, he was stunned.

After being stunned for a moment, he finally remembered.

Yes, speaking of the current history teacher at St. Freya’s College, isn’t that the leader of Anti-Entropy?

Walter Yang, the current leader of Anti-Entropy, is also a teacher at St. Freya's College. The subject he is in charge of is a brief history of the world, and he is also the lecturer of the second class this morning.

Just as the information about this man was flowing through Li Shubai's mind, Walter, who heard the bell for class, looked around the classroom. His eyes paused for a moment when passing by Li Shubai, then he nodded, announcing the start of the class without much surprise.

Perhaps because of his true identity, he was unwilling to have too close contact with the students here. Although Walter's teaching skills were equally superb, compared with Jizi, he lacked the strong affinity like Jizi.

Thanks to his iron-clad style of conduct and the faint sense of majesty when lecturing, even though he has a handsome face and is one of the few men in a girls' school like St. Freya, Walter is not very popular among students.

Naturally, including Li Shubai, it was impossible for any of the students in the class to read what Walter Yang was thinking at the moment.

An hour ago, when Walter was preparing lessons in the office, he suddenly received a communication from Anti-Entropy.

The person communicating was, as he expected, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, the only two people in Anti-Entropy who knew the true location of the current leader. However, the content...

Because of the leader's order, the Anti-Entropy executors are preparing to invade St. Freya's College?

Although Walter Yang did not remember giving such an order, he knew that Cocolia had been secretly conducting cloning experiments on the First Ruler.

So...if nothing unexpected happens, it should be those clones who have impersonated me.

And the facts were exactly as he had imagined. Einstein told him in detail the contents of the meeting that had just ended not long ago.

To be honest, Walter was a little surprised that Cocolia had actually created a clone with the power of a Herrscher.

Cognitive impairment, organ defects, missing language modules, or simply being unable to form anything that can be called consciousness in the brain during physical growth... Because they are not born through the normal human reproductive system, and today's cloning technology is not very perfect, almost all clones have natural defects that cannot be cured or improved.

Therefore, they were almost always created to be consumables, to be discarded without regret after being used by others.

Even Walter had not expected that Cocolia had already created clones capable of impersonating himself in a short period of time, and that the clones had given the order to invade Saint Freya.

What on earth was that woman thinking about? Walter was somewhat puzzled.

Among the Anti-Entropy executors, leaving aside Cocolia who had just joined recently and Xing Mal who was subordinate to Cocolia, the other executors knew that the true identity of the leader was him. There was no other meaning in making a clone like this except to deceive herself.

St. Freya's College is indeed a very good place. From a personal perspective, Walter also agrees with Theresa's philosophy, but he does not have any expectations for Theresa's IQ.

Can't trust Cocolia... In the communications with Einstein and Tesla, the three of them first set this policy, but at the same time, they must also cooperate with Cocolia's actions to a certain extent.

Although Kokolia did promote the clone of the First Herrscher to the position of Anti-Entropy Leader at the meeting in the Ark Fortress, whether to show her sincerity or because she was too confident, after the meeting, Kokolia immediately found Einstein and Tesla in private and told them all the facts about the clone of the First Herrscher.

On the surface, the instructions given by Cocolia through the clone's mouth were to rely on the power of the First Herrscher's clone to seize the Third Herrscher who was recruited into the academy by Saint Freya, and steal the Key of God discovered by the Far East Branch in the South China Sea.

But in fact, according to Cocolia, her actual purpose was not these.

The clone of the First Herrscher was a victim abandoned by her from the very beginning.

Of course, but even Cocolia didn't have any expectations for these clones with so many flaws.

Although Walter did not agree with Cocolia's stupid and bad behavior, she was not really stupid after all.

It would be best if these clones of the First Herrscher could really snatch the Key of God and the Third Herrscher from Saint Freya, but as the actual creator of these clones, Cocolia was very clear about their performance and naturally understood that in the face of Saint Freya's Academy's current defense capabilities, the level of the clones was far from enough.

From the very beginning, these clones that appeared before the executors as leaders were abandoned.

Because of Cocolia's honesty, even though they didn't know how much of what she said was true and how much was false, Einstein and Tesla gave Cocolia certain information in return. Although they didn't tell Cocolia about Walter Young, they did tell her what kind of things and bargaining chips should be used to make Anti-Entropy and the Far East Branch reach a cooperative relationship.

That also includes the Sirin Project that Otto is currently working on.

During the communication, Walter Young did not raise any objection to the decision made by Einstein and Dr. Tesla.

He had no objection to forming a cooperative relationship with Theresa, but in their original plan, the candidates for cooperation... should not include Cocolia.

Whether in terms of ability or values, Cocolia is someone they cannot fully trust. The reason why they accepted Cocolia to join Anti-Entropy is simply because each of them has what the other needs.

Cocolia needs Anti-Entropy's resources to protect its orphanage and conduct experiments to fight against Honkai; while Anti-Entropy needs to accept as many people who are hostile to Sentence and have ties to Honkai as possible into its organization in order to expand its influence and strength.
