After all, not all humans are qualified to survive the "baptism" of collapse. "Spiritual Adam" can almost be considered the best solution to preserve all humans. Of course, the premise is that humans cannot defeat the end.
Unfortunately, this plan at least requires modifying the gene pool of all human beings, so in the end, Admiral gave up this plan with regret. Of course, he also had a feeling that if he insisted on this plan, he would be beaten up by Zhu Yufeng...
Both the Fusion Warrior Project and the Stigmata Project can improve humans' adaptability and ability to use Honkai, but the success rate of the Fusion Warrior Project is too low. Moreover, the Fusion Warrior Project and its variant, the Chimera Project, are now being carried out by Mei and Mebius, so it is natural for Admiller to turn his attention to the Stigmata Project.
All of Admiller's knowledge about the concept of stigmata came from Zhu Yufeng, and Zhu Yufeng didn't know much about it because he didn't care about it. He just knew that stigmata were essentially a database containing a large amount of genetic information, which was manifested in the form of "Honkai antibodies".
The reason why Mei left the Stigmata Project to future generations was because there was really no time left. The Stigmata Project was even more time-consuming than the Fusion Warrior Project. Mei used up all his life's knowledge but only completed the modification of the gene bank of female humans in the current civilization. He did not have time to modify all the males, so in the end, there were far more females than males among humans with the Stigmata.
Even if Mei made modifications to the entire human gene pool, there would still be very few humans who could obtain natural stigmata.
Of course, it is impossible for Admiller to carry out the Stigmata Plan as envisioned by Mei. In the Stigmata Plan envisioned by Mei, the combat experience and life experience of the Stigmata holders of all generations would be recorded in the Stigmata, and then provide stronger power for the next generation of holders. But where would Admiller get so much time to train so many generations of Stigmata holders?
Therefore, what Admiller was actually doing was artificial stigmata, which was completed by the current civilization's destiny based on the research on natural stigmata. Unlike the destiny, Admiller basically started from scratch, knew nothing, and was only conducting experiments based on a concept given by Zhu Yufeng.
However, although Admiller's experimental process was not very good, he respected the wishes of the subjects when selecting the experimental subjects, just like Mebius. The experiment would only begin if they agreed.
For most people who were eroded by the collapse, Admire provided a possible way to heal them and provided relatively good living conditions. Many people signed the agreement without even waiting for Admire to finish explaining.
In this regard, Admiller could only say that since it was delivered to his doorstep, he would rather accept it.
Another purpose of Admiller's research on the Stigmata is to make plans for future civilization. He learned from Zhu Yufeng that the Stigmata plan was flawed due to lack of time. If there is still no way to cross the end this time, then it is necessary to make further plans for the future.
To be honest, he admired Mei very much. Just from the information he got from Zhu Yufeng, Mei alone completed a workload beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and still had time to study a bunch of plans such as the Stigma Project. If Mei had not died of Honkai erosion and overwork in the end, Admiller would have doubted Mei's identity.
The research he is doing now, in addition to increasing the combat power of mankind, is also to provide a foundation and a more perfect safeguard for the next civilization if Mei needs it in the future.
"What's the situation over there now?" asked Admiral.
"Although I don't know why you are suddenly so interested in that thing called the Stigmata, as you wished, the Stigmata has achieved initial success, but the price is a little too high for humans." Gray Snake said.
"Is it a physical mutation or a shortened lifespan?" Yadmiller continued to ask.
"It shortened his lifespan, and it was shortened significantly. Judging from the successful sample we have obtained so far, the stigmata helped him resist the erosion of Honkai. Although he did not gain the power of a fusion warrior, at least his resistance to Honkai energy was greatly improved, and his use of Honkai energy was far beyond the level of ordinary people." Gray Snake answered in a serious manner, "And the price he paid was a significant consumption of vitality. According to observation, only a few hours after the appearance of the stigmata, his body functions began to rapidly fail."
Admiller put down the experimental report in his hand and looked at Gray Snake: "Is it because he used Honkai energy, or did he not do anything and this happened?"
"In order to show off his 'superpowers' to us and for our further observation, we let him do it on his own." Gray Snake seemed a little regretful about this. "It's a pity that compared to the Fusion Warrior Program, the Stigma Program is still not mature enough."
"I see." Admiral stood up, "I'll go to the scene and find out the situation."
"Speaking of which, I'm very curious about one thing." The red light in the gray snake's eyes became a little brighter. "You have a very high degree of approval for Feng, and now you can basically be regarded as doing things for him, but why did you not care much about Feng's falling asleep this time after your initial understanding?"
"Because I have absolute trust in him." Admiral walked out of his laboratory. "The Eighth Herrscher... may not be able to do anything to him."
There was a flash of red in the gray snake's eyes, but he said nothing in the end.
The reason why Admiller dared to say this was because he had already noticed Zhu Yufeng's identity, which was covered up by Mebius. Of course, there was no solid evidence that Zhu Yufeng was a Herrscher, and Admiller had no evidence. However, when he came to this possible conclusion, he was delighted from the bottom of his heart, as if he had finally seen the results of his years of research.
And for some reason, he really didn't have much interest in the fusion warrior plan now, as if he had already walked this path once and wanted to change to another one.
Fire Chaser Headquarters.
"Amo, what on earth do you think the Eighth Herrscher is? From what Dr. Mobius said, is it possible that this Herrscher doesn't even exist in entity?" Desdobia said as she sorted out the information she had collected so far. "First, there was a Herrscher who had no reason and only knew how to exercise power, then there was a Herrscher who had thoughts, and now there is this Eighth Herrscher...Are our enemies becoming more and more difficult to deal with?"
Kosmo was silent. It was not like that. There was only one Herrscher without a physical body, the eighth. But it was true that things were getting more and more difficult. He had tried to stop Desdobia from accessing information such as text at first, but all he got was Desdobia's doubts: "How can I collect and organize information without reading text? Someone has to do this, right?"
Kosmo had no choice, he really didn't know what to say. He could only follow the few memories of his past life to know roughly what information was safe to organize.
"What a trouble... More and more people are falling asleep after being attacked by the Eighth Herrscher, and Feng is one of the earliest ones..." Desdobia said as she stood up and took out her cell phone to take a look, but then she thought of the information that might be contaminated by the Eighth Herrscher, so she resisted the urge to look at it and put the phone back.
"We have already investigated the storybook, and we can roughly determine the page number where the words contaminated by the Eighth Herrscher are located. Then we can ask other spiritual fusion warriors to enter the Eighth Herrscher's illusion and find the Eighth Herrscher." Kosmo said.
"I can't even read storybooks..." Desdobia muttered, "Forget it, I'll just continue checking the information."
"After all, the pollution of the Eighth Herrscher has not yet been fully determined, and she may create new polluted texts at any time." Kosmo said.
But he did not hear the girl's response. There was the sound of someone falling and papers scattering on the ground. As the boy's pupils suddenly contracted, the girl fell to the ground as if she had fallen asleep, without any response.
Chapter 225: The Enemy Who Is Not My Enemy
"So, you are living a pretty comfortable life in this fantasy world, living with Alicia and Lilith, and working with Mebius and Velvi, who is also my class teacher..." Seele said with his arms crossed and a sneer at Zhu Yufeng.
Zhu Yufeng sat in his chair speechlessly, his face flushed. It was obvious what had just happened.
"Is it possible that I didn't do anything and you were the one who took the initiative just now..." Before Zhu Yufeng finished speaking, he saw Seele's dark face and decisively chose to remain silent.
He also figured out what this world was like. First, Mebius and Velvi became his colleagues, a biology teacher and a physics teacher, and of course there was also a music teacher, Eden. However, Eden had a better relationship with Alicia, which was also in line with Astaroth's cognition.
Then there is the chemistry teacher Mei, the physical education teacher Kevin, and I am the Chinese teacher...
Seele and Padu are both students in his class. After observation, they are both masters... Ahem, anyway, he just wants to ask the Eighth Herrscher, when she constructed this world, didn't she feel it was too magical? And... wasn't this constructed a little too detailed?
He had almost checked the identities of the others in this world. Destobia and Cosmo were student council cadres, the student council president was Sakura, Aponia was Astaroth's homeroom teacher, and Grayshu and Ling were both in the same school as Astaroth... And Alicia and Lilith were sisters here? !
Alicia is the art teacher, and Lilith is the English teacher...
When Zhu Yufeng found out about this, he was completely stunned. Is this what Astaroth thought?
In short, in this fantasy, the relationship between himself and other people is much more magical than in reality. In terms of relationships, even the Eighth Herrscher may not be able to figure it out or understand it, and it has already gone bad. Lilith and Alicia are indeed his... girlfriends.
What is a girlfriend in pairs?!
Our Miss Seele, in the illusion, only appears to have the same tsundere style as Teacher Mobius, but in fact she switches seamlessly between the two personalities. Maybe Astaroth thought it was the same Seele, so Seele became an acting school similar to Lilith.
In front of others, she is cold and arrogant, but when she is alone or when other people are children, she becomes a little angel... Eighth Herrscher, do you really think this is not inconsistent? Or have you given up thinking about it?
Just now, when Seele came to hand in his homework as the class representative, he fell down, whether intentionally or accidentally, but Zhu Yufeng was quick to avoid it.
Humph, little guy, I knew the plot would develop like this as soon as I saw it!
Before Zhu Yufeng could finish feeling proud in his heart, "Seele" asked him pitifully if he hated him. He almost couldn't hold it back. At that moment, he felt as if there was some strange fluctuation of consciousness. The source was Seele. He wondered if the Eighth Herrscher was online and was ready to test it.
So he squatted down and touched Seele's head, trying to see if he could find the Eighth Herrscher directly based on this fluctuation. The next second, Seele's eyes changed instantly. She was stunned for a moment, and then she slapped herself almost subconsciously.
"Anyway, I have told you the whole story, so why are you here?" Zhu Yufeng asked.
"Heh, isn't it that someone has fallen into a deep sleep, making us all curious about what you are dreaming about?" Seele glanced at the homework books scattered on the ground and said, "But it seems that you are living a very comfortable life in there."
Is there? But I just feel several times more tired. Even if nothing happened, it is very painful to sleep with Lilith and Alicia as a pillow every night. However, the night time will jump directly to the next morning because Astaroth went to bed. He woke up and found that he was a "pillow".
After all, he was not the subject of the dream, and the Eighth Herrscher only wanted to trap him. But if it was just to trap him, then the Eighth Herrscher seemed to have constructed it too detailed in a place where Astaroth was not there.
"Since you're here now, does that mean that the outside world has already confidently located the Eighth Herrscher?" Zhu Yufeng asked, "Are you planning to cooperate with the inside and outside and kill her in one fell swoop?"
"That's true. Squinty-Eyes and Aponia are already prepared." Seele said, "However, Desdobia was attacked by the Eighth Herrscher not long ago and is now in a deep sleep. Kosmo doesn't seem to be in good condition either."
Is this an inevitable fate?
Zhu Yufeng thought in his heart, and then said: "I have been observing here for a while, but I haven't found much valuable. The Eighth Herrscher seems to just want to trap me here. In addition, she only tested me at the beginning. Although I only found some subtle traces she left in this world later, they were not enough to track her down."
"Even you can't find the trace of the Eighth Herrscher?" Seele frowned. "Forget it, I'll stay here for a while. Others will follow the information contaminated by the Eighth Herrscher to locate the Eighth Herrscher. If she wants to avoid it, she must take some action. By then, her fluctuations will definitely be detected in this world."
"Really..." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes. In fact, he had a feeling that the Eighth Ruler was gradually perfecting this dream world. This world was becoming more and more real. At first, he had no way to go to school or anywhere other than home, and there were no words in the books. When he tried to talk nonsense in class, the students didn't respond. They only said that the teacher taught well.
But now, not only did words appear in the books, he could also go to other places, and the students gradually began to become like one person...
It seems that apart from his interpersonal relationships which the Eighth Herrscher has abandoned, other aspects of this world are being gradually improved and filled in by the Eighth Herrscher.
He also tried to remind Astaroth, who was the subject of the dream, but to his surprise, Astaroth was also awake, but woke up a little later, on the "next day".
"Because... I know better than anyone that this is a dream I cannot hope for." Astaroth said, "Everything in it is what I want, but... I know very well that I can't have such a home..."
But even though Astaroth woke up, the dream world still did not collapse, but was gradually improving. This is very strange... According to the character and operation of the Eighth Herrscher, once the subject of the dream wakes up, she will immediately change to the next scene, and the subject will "wake up" again in the same way as waking up in a dream.
And... she really was too attentive... Generally speaking, the Eighth Herrscher would use a one-day reincarnation method to gradually let the people who were infected sink into it. When the subject's consciousness was truly integrated into the world, his consciousness would disappear along with the world, and then he would die in the outside world or his body would be taken over by the Eighth Herrscher.
But the situation now is that the world is not like this...
"Huh? Why are your students leaving their homework books everywhere?" Mobius' voice sounded at the door. "Hurry up and clean it up. You have a class meeting soon. A transfer student is coming."
"Transfer student?" Zhu Yufeng was stunned. What's going on? There's a transfer student?
It should be impossible for the Eighth Herrscher to create a non-existent person out of thin air. Transfer students are reasonable for a school, but in this world they are variables and should not appear.
"It was transferred here suddenly. I'm also surprised. This is the student's file." Mobius shrugged. "You are the class teacher. It's up to you how to arrange it. Oh, by the way..."
Mebius smiled and continued, "You should be free at noon today, right?"
"Uh..." Zhu Yufeng glanced at Seele, who seemed not to be looking at this side but picking up the scattered homework books on the ground, "Excuse me, my students said they had some questions to ask me at noon."
"Really?" Mobius glanced at Seele and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid you have other intentions, right?"
"What do I want from him?" Seele said unhappily, but did not look up.
Mebius spread his hands: "Okay, then I'll book the time for tomorrow at noon?"
Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment and replied, "No problem."
Because the Eighth Herrscher was constantly improving this world, the entire dream world was experiencing fluctuations one after another. In addition, the Eighth Herrscher handled her own traces very well, so Zhu Yufeng was unable to find the Eighth Herrscher among the fluctuations.
And...Mebius is starting to look more and more like her in real life... What's going on?
Speaking of that transfer student, is it possible that this variable is the Eighth Herrscher himself?
Zhu Yufeng took a look at the transfer student's file. Her name was Remiel... Well, there was no need to think about it. This transfer student should be the Eighth Herrscher herself.
After experiencing the incident with Uriel and Michael, both of whom were Herrs, he still had an impression of Remiel, who seemed to be one of the angels...
The name of the Herrscher is the name of the angel... Haha, it fits their "setting" as the apostles of God.
There were other Herrs with non-angel names, but Uriel and Michael were undoubtedly angel names that he was familiar with before he traveled through time. Now suddenly there appeared a Remiel who he did not recognize at all but had an angel name, and no matter how he thought about it, he could only connect her with the Herrsch.
With this thought in mind, Zhu Yufeng and Seele picked up the homework books on the ground and went to the classroom.
He decided to skip the negotiations and go straight to the attack.
If someone gets hurt by accident...it's just a dream anyway, so let it be.
Zhu Yufeng and Seele came to the door of the classroom and saw Remiel standing in front of the door. Almost at the same time, a golden spear appeared in Zhu Yufeng's hand, and a ferocious sickle appeared in Seele's hand.
Remiel was puzzled at first, then looked at Seele with some understanding. She stretched out her hand, and the light and shadow separated. Zhu Yufeng and Seele were moved to two different places in an instant.
"Why?" Remiel asked Zhu Yufeng with some confusion, "Why do you want to kill me?"
It's strange. Uriel wanted to kill him from the beginning, so why did Remiel become confused?
Zhu Yufeng frowned. He did not sense any hostility from Remiel. The other party did not seem to intend to be his enemy. He did not dare to take it lightly, but did not take any action for the time being, waiting for Remiel's next move.
"I can feel that you and I are the same." Remiel said as if talking to himself, "No, you are different from me, you are similar to me, but... you should be the same kind as me, why do you want to kill me?"
Similar but not identical?
In other words, he was actually a false hermit who looked like a hermit? Or, in other words, a pseudo-hermit?
"You want to protect them?" Remiel seemed to have suddenly realized something. "You want them to live, right?"
I just want Alicia and the others to live well.
Zhu Yufeng thought to himself, and then said coldly: "If you are the enemy of mankind, then I am your enemy."
Remiel tilted her head. Unlike Uriel, she was born from pure will of Honkai. Besides...
She thought for a moment, then said, "What are the enemies of humanity?"
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment. Why did he feel that this Herrscher was a bit silly? Moreover, he was different from the Eighth Herrscher in his impression. The Eighth Herrscher that Lilith mentioned was not so silly. He was purely cowardly and stupid.
So he replied: "If you threaten the survival of mankind, you are the enemy of mankind."
"Threat the survival of mankind?" Remiel thought seriously for a moment, then said seriously, "I will not threaten the survival of mankind."
"?"
Zhu Yufeng was confused. What was wrong with this Eighth Herrscher?
"You are very strong, and I can feel your strength." Remiel said, "I can't see your thoughts or your memories, but I still know that you should be my kind."
"First, explain what you are doing now." Zhu Yufeng said, "You use your power to pollute information and put humans into a deep sleep."
"But this is their wish," Lemire said. "This is their dream world. They dream of being free of disease, being rich, and having a beautiful family. I fulfilled their wishes."
“But they will die from it.”
"They won't die because of this." Remiel shook his head, "Their consciousness will remain in this world forever, and they will always live the life they like. There is no collapse, no natural disasters, this world only exists because of their dreams. Therefore, I am not the enemy of mankind. Therefore, I am not your enemy."
Zhu Yufeng was silent. It made so much sense, but it also seemed like heresy... The point was, he couldn't refute Remiel.
No wonder this dream world is gradually improving. It feels like Remiel is constantly absorbing and understanding human thinking and cognition and then improving this world.
This is a situation that never happened in the previous life.
In fact, the Herrscher he was facing might be even more powerful than the one in his previous life.
Remiel has no kindness towards humans, but at the same time she has no malice either. She just follows the deepest desires of humans and satisfies them.
