The king nodded gently: "As you say."
So Candela was taken down like this.
After finishing one thing, the king picked up a document, looked at it, sighed softly in his heart, and then said: "The next thing is the review of Dr. Mebius's status as a member of parliament."
"What?!" A scholar immediately shouted out. Noticing that everyone was looking at him, he didn't care about being impolite in front of the king and said quickly, "Your Majesty, Mobius must not become a member of the Fire Moth Council. The fact that she can continue her experiments in the First Research Institute now is already enough tolerance for her!"
"Why?" the king said calmly, "If I remember correctly, Mobius, she was also a veteran when the Fire Moth was founded, right? Whether in terms of qualifications or ability, she is qualified enough, isn't she?"
"But Your Majesty, what she studies is anti-human!" Another scholar said, "She must not become a person in power. She will only lead humanity into the abyss!"
Most of the other non-scholar officials looked at the scholars' intense reactions indifferently. The power shift within the Fire Moth had nothing to do with them. As for whether Mobius's research was anti-human, wasn't it up to these scholars to decide on such academic matters? In addition, some of them had just come into contact with a guy who called himself Gray Snake not long ago...
"I don't think it matters. Aren't there other councillors?" Someone spoke up. "Can Mobius have the final say in the Fire Moth? Everyone here knows how unpopular she is, right? The failure in the fight against Honkai this time shows that our research on Honkai is not yet in place. Although Dr. Mobius's ideas are a bit radical, it is also a solution. If we want to defeat Honkai, we can't always take only one path. Just like this incident, we were too superstitious about anticipating Honkai in advance, and we were still a little lacking in direct armed response. So, why should we prevent the development of another way to fight Honkai?"
"Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know what Mebius is studying?" An old scholar pointed at the person who spoke and cursed, "You people in high positions, can't you see What is Qing Mebius challenging? To transform human beings and make them adapt to the collapse, can they still be called human beings after that?”
"Don't limit the definition of human beings too much, right?" The man spread his hands. "If the collapse is a natural mechanism, the fittest will survive and the unfit will perish. This is also an unchanging law of nature. If humans still cannot defeat the power of nature, coexisting with it is also a solution, isn't it?"
"Beffinger!" The old scholar called the man by his name, "Are you going to be a traitor to humanity too?"
"That's a really big accusation." Beffinger picked his ears and said with an indifferent expression, "A traitor to humanity? Dr. Leiden, aren't you talking too early? Did Dr. Mobius sell out humanity to Honkai, or did he want to destroy humanity? Isn't everything we do to fight Honkai? It's a bit too conservative to blindly believe that you are right, right? How many ancient countries in history disappeared in this way?"
"You..." Dr. Leiden pointed at Beffinger, as if he understood something, and said angrily, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Mebius actually started to think about it here, what did she give? What's your advantage, let you make strong words here?"
"Alas." Beffinger sighed and said, "Look, if I say a word for Dr. Mobius, it becomes specious and it becomes like I'm taking advantage of you. Since you say so, then you can ask His Majesty to check all my property to see if I got anything from anywhere. If not, I won't tolerate your slander."
"That old man can debate with anyone else, why not go and debate this with Beffinger?" The others discussed in a low voice.
Others have heard how good Beffinger is at talking, but the key is that he always has a good reason and evidence for what he says. He can also speak well when you talk to him about professional knowledge. He really reads all the papers on many research results. He is truly well-read. But unfortunately, he is not a scientist. He mainly studies philosophy and law...
When other scholars saw that the old scholar was defeated, they joined the battlefield to refute Beffinger. Beffinger directly engaged in a debate with the scholars on the spot and left them all speechless.
Seeing that the results were almost ready, the king finally spoke up and made a final decision on the matter: "Since you have no way to refute Lord Beffinger's words, then this matter ends here. The proposal for Dr. Mobius to become a member of the Fire Moth Council is approved."
Chapter 158: The so-called end is time?
"Doctor, your status as a senator has been approved." Klein came over with a pile of documents and said with some confusion, "But Doctor, why do you suddenly want to be a senator?"
I always feel that something is wrong with Dr. Mobius in the past year or so. Not only can I sleep eight hours a day, but I can also take a day off occasionally to have afternoon tea with Senior Blanca, but the progress of Dr. Mobius's experiments does not seem to be affected at all...
Was it because of his reliable and capable junior, Rolfko? No, this change had already begun before Rolfko joined the doctor's laboratory. Was it because of a reliable but sea king-like Maple? After all, the only one who could control Dr. Mobius now was Maple, besides Alicia.
Speaking of Feng, it seems that the recently joined Lilith has gained a lot of popularity in the Fire Moth in a short period of time. I remember that I once accidentally saw Cang Xuan’s statistics on these bored people who were buying CPs, and Lilith was actually catching up with Alicia... So why is the Doctor still so calm?
As for Danzhu and Cangxuan, it's good enough that these two didn't add extra workload to themselves.
Mobius looked up from observing the tissue slice of the Fourth Herrscher and said slowly, "Klein, you have to know that if you want to do something, certain identities are indispensable."
Mebius was immersed in her own experiments and was not interested in the intrigues with other boring people, so even though she was a founding member of the Fire Moth, she did not become a member of parliament.
The situation was different now. She knew the results of the things she wanted to study in her previous life. She was the first one to propose the possibility of the Fusion Warrior Plan, and Mei further improved it. As for the Stigmata Plan, Mei forced her to revise it 15 times. A full 15 times! Only the Stigmata Plan with the highest probability of success was the one she wanted to know the results of.
Although Feng strongly disagreed with some of the points, if those plans were to be realized, it would take at least thousands of years of human history. After all, the Stigmata Plan was formulated from the very beginning based on the reconstruction of human civilization.
Now someone is giving up and is determined to destroy Honkai, so I have no choice but to support him. How can one not yearn for reaching the end of infinity and surpassing the so-called will of God?
What's more, the last failure can make people learn a lesson. The birth and way of existence of the end is the biggest surprise for them. If the essence of the end is the same as that of all Herrschers that appeared before, the Moonlight Throne Project can definitely succeed Yes, but the final result...
"The cocoon of the end..." Mobius thought about the review after the battle with the end. "The last Herrscher, according to the analysis with Mei and Velvet, the power held by the Herrschers before the end was similar to the projection of the end in different time periods. Yufeng was a Herrscher born before the end, so his power is closest to the reincarnation of the end... But this way, there is something that cannot be explained..."
According to their speculation, the underground shelter built by humans with the Herrscher core of the Fifth Herrscher as protection can completely withstand the reset of the reincarnation of the End. However, this time, the Fire Chaser and the rebirth of Lilith, who can be said to be lingering ghosts, basically crushed the reincarnation power of the End. The shelter built by humans in memory completely disappeared, and the Herrscher core that could theoretically jump out of the reincarnation without being affected by the End also disappeared. If this is Zhu Yufeng's power, then the power of the End is simply nothing compared to it.
That would be fine, as Zhu Yufeng's companion Honkai beast Yuga, the Herrscher's companion, also simply and roughly resets time and space, but does not reset the status of creatures other than Honkai creatures.
So who is more like the theoretical end? Besides, there is one thing that Mebius is sure of, that is, if Zhu Yufeng is an enemy of mankind, then the Moonlight Throne Plan can be effective against him.
There is also a song that has been circulating in the Fire Moth, the meaning of which Mebius still cannot fully understand:
"One day, He fell from the sky. People looked up and saw the stars."
Eden later added a paragraph as an artist:
“The stars and the moon send the daughter of God, who wishes to be man’s companion.”
"The winds become her chariot, and the four seas become her garden. Birds bring seeds of kindness, and flowers weave songs of love."
"This is how she was born into the world, walked on the earth, grew up with humans, and sprouted with the world."
Originally, Mobius thought he understood the meaning, but Zhu Yufeng's existence seemed to be an anomaly...
A bold guess even emerged in her mind. The powers of Zhongyan and Yufeng were similar to the powers of time and space, but they inferred that Zhongyan's ultimate goal was that a civilization that had already defeated the collapse was pursuing its own kind, and then using this to screen out existences like them.
That’s why the Cocoon of the End came into being. In other words, the End they faced before was more like a man-made End, and Yu Feng… might be the real End…
According to their assumptions about the collapse, at the end of civilization's fight against the collapse, the End will definitely come as the final judge, and the existence of the Cocoon of the End directly locks the time and possibility of the birth of the End.
So the question is, why is it Yu Feng? What does this have to do with the gift from the origin brought by Alicia's sacrifice of herself to return to Honkai?
Also, what about the many worlds observed by the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle?
The mysteries that need to be solved have not decreased because of rebirth, but have become more... and these things cannot be told to Klein and the others directly. They can only be explored by themselves and Velvi at this stage. After she takes over the position of senator, the agenda of lunar exploration will be advanced. Some things must be answered on the moon.
"After the doctor is elected as a member of parliament, the laboratory's funding can be increased significantly." Cang Xuan was frantically calculating the use of various funds. The sound of her typing on the computer temporarily interrupted Mobius' thoughts.
"I heard that it was all thanks to Mr. Beffinger's help." Klein tilted his head and said, "However, this is also because several congressmen died in accidents, leaving vacancies in their seats."
Mobius took a sip of coffee. If it was just the accidental death of one congressman, then there would be no hope for him. But if several congressmen died, the situation would be different. Moreover, the so-called "accident" was only called an "accident" because the means were beyond the existing human understanding.
As the only fusion warrior at present, it is easy for Xila to kill anyone.
As for Beffinger's help, it was not because he had given him any benefit. He just wanted to challenge the mainstream trend out of idleness.
The legal fallen angel Beffinger is the most eloquent among the thirteen fallen angels. His study of law allows him to turn black into white and white into black. He would defend himself in the court just because he felt that debating with those scholars was a bit challenging. As rebellious as he is, he would go against the general trend. To put it bluntly, this guy is a natural nitpicker. He really reads a lot of books just to argue. Just for the sake of arguing...
"The best way to deal with Beffinger is to refuse to talk and solve the problem by force." Zhu Yufeng said, "Although Beffinger is telling the truth, his ultimate goal is usually to induce people to make some... not-so-good choices."
The most annoying of the thirteen fallen angels is not Beelzebub, who likes to fight like Qianjie at every turn, nor is it the psychotic nun Esmodesma who goes crazy from time to time, but Beffinger, who either speaks in a nagging way or tempts people to do things they shouldn't do. He never forgets to induce anyone he communicates with, such as "Is it possible that...", "This situation sometimes exists..." and so on.
After the person realized his mistake, he went to Beffinger to settle the score. Beffinger said innocently: "Did I say it must be like this? I was just talking about the facts and mentioned it casually."
At that time, the Fire Moth had always had some rules about getting along with the thirteen fallen angels, such as "don't be alone with Esmodesma", "don't listen to Beffinger", "don't disturb Astaroth from reading"...
Although compared to other people, Beffinger may be more normal, and the jokes he induces people to play are often harmless, but perhaps many people would rather communicate with those abnormal fallen angels.
This kind of annoying joke that he can't do anything about is enough once or twice, but Beffinger can keep making it.
"Doctor, the detailed physical examination report of Lilith that you requested is out." Rovko walked in from outside holding a piece of data.
Mebius took Lilith's medical examination report from Lofko. She finally decided to verify the possibility that Zhu Yufeng had discussed with her before, that Lilith was also a Herrscher.
She glanced casually at the data and froze.
Because Lilith's physical examination data this time was surprisingly consistent with Alicia's!
"How could this happen?" Mobius was a little confused. Although she didn't have much impression of Lilith's detailed data in the previous life, she was in charge of the Chimaera Project of the Thirteen Fallen Angels, and she still remembered the general data. Lilith's resistance and tolerance to Honkai energy should have been within the range of an abnormal person, but now her data has begun to be consistent with Zhu Yufeng and Alicia, who were identified as Herrschers.
Mobius thought of a possibility that Velvet had discussed with her after she and Alicia finished their investigation of Zhu Yufeng. It was that possibility that prompted her to conduct a thorough test on Lilith:
"Is it possible that the Herrscher core that originally belonged to Yu Feng is now in Lilith's body?"
"But looking at the data... Lilith doesn't have a Herrscher Core either... Are there really two Herrschers of Origin? Or is there an unknown Herrscher between the Origin and the End?" Mobius thought. She also knew that Su used the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle to observe various worlds. Alicia in each world did not change her choice. In contrast, Su did not seem to observe the existence of Lilith. To be precise, he did not observe any possibility of Lilith's existence as a Fire Moth Warrior.
Except for Zhu Yufeng and Lilith, most of the thirteen fallen angels can be observed.
In this way, Lilith's identity seems to be somewhat intriguing.
"The good and evil of human nature... were born between heaven and earth, and among humans..." Mebius began to analyze. "Yu Feng does have his reasons for thinking so, but... why was Lilith a complete human at the beginning, and only discovered to be a Herrscher after this rebirth?"
Zhu Yufeng believes that the Origin Twins are just like the good and evil of human nature, but Mobius thought of another possibility. Before the Battle of the End, when Zhu Yufeng became a Herrscher, Lilith existed in Zhu Yufeng's body in the form of a consciousness. It is entirely possible that she became a Herrscher of unknown power. Or, she and Zhu Yufeng together form a complete end?
Anyway, no matter what Lilith's power is, it can now be basically determined that she is at least a Herrscher.
"I probably never thought before that, among all the Herrschers, there are quite a few among the Fire Moths themselves..." Mobius looked up at the ceiling and thought speechlessly.
First, there was Himiko, who was the first to become the Herrscher of Flame. Then there was the Tenth Herrscher, who was basically from the Fire Moth. The Eleventh Herrscher, Michael, was also a medical worker of the Fire Moth. The Twelfth Herrscher was Sakura's sister, Ling. Then there was Alicia, the Herrscher of Origin. Zhu Yufeng, the Herrscher of Time, who was suspected to be the Herrscher of the End, and Lilith, who was suspected to be the Herrscher...
If Zhu Yufeng knew what Mobius was thinking now, he might have talked to her about the current civilization's Far Eastern Demon Cave Saint Freya Academy. The first to fourth Herrschers all came from Saint Freya, although the fourth Herrscher was a shameful thing...
Even Hua, that honest boy, has a daughter who is a Herrscher. Hua will never become a Herrscher, but a Herrscher can be transformed into a symbol.
When Teacher Himeko woke up, she saw that everyone on Hyperion except Theresa was a Herrscher. I really don’t know what she would think... Be bold, if it weren’t for the bug of Ottoka that lost the constraint, Theresa might have been able to get a constraint for fun.
How is it impossible for this Herrscher organization to emerge?
"But it's okay..." The corners of Mobius' lips curled up slightly, "Fighting together with several Herrschers to fight against Honkai, this feeling is quite rare."
Rovko silently watched Mebius's puzzled expression, then speechless, and then smiling. She glanced at Lilith's physical examination data that Mebius had put aside. She had also seen this data. It shouldn't be like this, right? Aren't Feng and Alicia the same? Could it be that this is the inexplicable desire to win between rivals? I don't understand...
I asked for leave on the first day of this month, and it feels like the time I used for my leave application is getting earlier and earlier?
I received the notice to start school, and the final exams will be held immediately after the start of the school year, so I have to spend a lot of time after that to review the books that I didn’t read during the winter vacation.
As for the plot, I feel that the recent state is not very good. I need to think about it carefully. It would be best to avoid updating during the hell time...
As for the setting, I plan to open another plot line (not completely following the original setting, because the original setting has confused me). Lilith's identity as a Herrscher and her powers were also designed in the chapter about the Origin Twins. Please see the later chapters for details, so I won't spoil the plot.
Chapter 159: She doesn't want to compete with a man for a man, thank you
"Isn't that guy from Mu Continent a little too arrogant?" Even after returning to the Fire Moth headquarters, Desdobia was still dissatisfied with the young officer's remarks. "Everyone is fighting against Honkai, why does this guy feel superior to him?"
"…You'll get used to it." Kosmo said.
As they were talking, everyone noticed Klein, who was holding a document, coming over. Seeing them coming back, he said, "Well... Alicia, Dr. Mobius wants to talk to you about something. Sakura, Padochilice, Kevin, Kosmo, and Hua, you can choose to go together... As for the others..."
Klein hesitated for a moment, then imitated Mebius' tone and said, "Do whatever you want."
"Eh? Even Feng is excluded?" Lilith was surprised. "So, isn't it time for Feng and I to be alone from now on? Oh, I didn't expect that Dr. Mobius would make me respect him like this!"
Everyone: "!"
As the Archbishop of the Maple Party, Kevin naturally took the lead: "Since Mebius has said so, let's go to her laboratory first. There may be something important."
Desdobia frowned, realizing that things were not simple: "Eh? Why did you only invite Ah Mo and not me? And didn't you say that I could choose to go? Then Ah Mo and Little Padu can also not go, right?"
"Daisy Dobia, you have to know that under normal circumstances, if you can choose to go, you must go." Kevin said.
"Eh? Is that so?" Desdobia looked at Kosmo.
Kosmo was silent for a moment, then nodded.
(It’s unlikely that Mobius would call everyone over but not Feng. I think what she wants to say this time is related to Feng and Lilith, but she can’t let them know…)
Alicia glanced at Kevin and said, "Since Dr. Mobius said so, of course we have to go there."
As for Kevin, I hope he can be more durable during the next confrontation training.
Desdobia was about to say something when a slightly unfamiliar voice sounded, "Since neither of you has been asked to go to Dr. Mobius's laboratory, can you come with me?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mostima standing there with his arms crossed, looking at Lilith expressionlessly.
She was not sure that she could send Feng away alone to let Lilith go to see Jaina. If she forcibly separated the two under this circumstance, Lilith might really want to kill Jaina, and the possibility that she could protect Jaina from Lilith was almost zero. Although she could live with Jaina in the Fire Moth now, it was mainly because she was valuable to Lilith and the World Serpent, but...
For this crazy woman Lilith, it would be better to bring Feng along to keep an eye on her.
"Oh?" Lilith narrowed her eyes, still smiling, "Of course there is no problem, Mastema, we are good friends, aren't we?"
Mostima's eyes twitched, and he smiled through gritted teeth and said, "Yes, we are good friends, so you agreed, right?"
"Feng, what do you think?" Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng and asked with a smile.
"We do have time for this in our upcoming arrangements, so it doesn't matter to me." Zhu Yufeng said while looking at Mostima. He guessed in his mind the purpose of Mostima's visit and roughly guessed that he came for Lilith's sister. When Lilith suddenly proposed to go to Sakura and Ling's house with him to play games with Ling, he felt something was wrong.
Moreover, the relationship between Mostima and Lilith is almost at odds. After all, Lilith really screwed her over badly, and she still came to Lilith. There seems to be no other possibility except for Lilith's sister.
So everyone separated. Zhu Yufeng and Lilith followed Mostima away, while Alicia and others went to Mobius' laboratory. Destobia stood there, somewhat confused.
Why do I feel like I don't belong to this group anymore? I'm so curious. I'll have to question her when Ah Mo comes back. It's fine if Feng doesn't know anything, but why did they call everyone over and leave her behind? She's not someone who can't keep a secret, huh!
Zhu Yufeng and Lilith followed Mostima onto the bus to the family quarters, which further confirmed his guess.
Perhaps because she felt a little uncomfortable with the three people being silent, Mostima spoke up: "Lilith, I never thought that you could be so cold and vicious to your own sister."
"What? So I have a younger sister?" Lilith looked surprised.
Mastema: “…”
Her fist was hard, if it wasn't for the high possibility that she would lose the fight, she would have gone up and slapped Lilith.
