Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

If the scope of the other party's influence were not so large, Aponia would not have been able to break through the other party's contamination in an instant.

If the other party doesn't act alone and attacks the whole world, Moyuli wouldn't be arrested like a wild Honkai Beast, thus becoming a wedge that locks down the Herrscher.

"Where is his companion beast?"

No one answered; An Yu's companion beast was nowhere to be found.

Boom boom boom!

An unexpected knock on the door startled Einstein, who was late. She gathered her thoughts, opened the door, and looked around at everyone in the conference room, bringing news that was hard to define as good or bad.

"Hua was judged to be a sub-lawbreaker, or a pseudo-lawbreaker, with the ability to know."

At this moment, Einstein was simply reporting news, but the atmosphere in the meeting room was steadily dropping to freezing point.

"Where is An Yu?"

Alicia's voice was very soft, and there was not much urgency in it; she had already guessed the answer.

"There was no trace of it."

Einstein shook his head.

Then she sat at the end, her eyes equally gloomy: "So, what can we do right now?"

Einstein didn't know, but because of some confident guy, he, who had always been reclusive and didn't care about important matters, had indeed become a clever trick for the Lawgiver, and this felt terrible.

What can be done?

Alicia looked at the others. Good, no one suggested killing Hua.

Aponia had considered this future, but it was just a dream after all... There was no need to make it unpleasant in reality; at worst, it would happen again next time.

It's just a pity, a real pity for Alicia's Noah's Ark.

May didn't speak. She knew she couldn't follow the answer the enemy gave her. She was waiting, waiting for Möbius to speak.

Mebius looked up, his face grim, and stated the answer: "Honkai Beasts are silicon-based, so the mortality rate has never been effectively controlled."

“Then let’s do it,” Mei replied instantly.

Fusion Warriors were not originally the kind where one Honkai Beast could be used by several people. Although Fusion Warriors are often criticized as genetically modified warriors, the process is completely different.

One approach is to fuse from the very beginning, allowing them to develop gradually. The other is to fuse at the complete stage, forcibly fusing two individuals that no longer have much potential for development. This is certainly not something that can be done simply by taking a segment of genes; it's more like a replacement or overwriting.

This was a very long process, even taking several days between the initial two machines. It was only after the technology became more advanced that it was shortened to about ten hours.

Just like the most typical example of Shesa, the lie made by Alicia about the Great Lord of Heaven, and Vishnu, the success of a Fusion Warrior is often accompanied by the complete defeat of a Honkai Beast.

This is precisely why the second project, the Met-Morph, emerged.

The word "met" means "change" or "morph," a very simple and direct name, like a caterpillar breaking free of its cocoon to become a butterfly, or a tadpole growing into a frog.

The plan is not as simple and straightforward as it was initially, but it is also possible that it will never change and that the person will remain a caterpillar or tadpole for their entire life.

Therefore, the Super Transformation Project can indeed distribute a powerful Honkai Beast to more people, but often those who are given this talent will never awaken it in their lifetime.

The probability is far less than one-sixth, because Hua's suicide squad lost five members before Hua awakened, and without Hua, the probability would have continued to decrease.

"Ellie?"

Aponia touched Alicia's arm, and the arm, which had been trembling slightly, gradually calmed down.

No one spoke or urged anyone in the Zero Meeting Room, since the goddess was ultimately the one who made the final decision.

5. "Alisia, Hua is a Herrscher, and the Seventh Herrscher, Himeko, you have personally verified that Herrschers cannot be persuaded."

Mei gently reassured the other party, her logic being simple: she would not grant human rights to her enemies.

"You don't need to get involved in this matter. If anyone makes accusations later, I will take responsibility personally."

Mei's voice was resolute; reputation no longer mattered to her.

The Seventh Herrscher proved the destructive nature of the Herrschers. As the companion beast of the Eighth Herrscher, Hua is completely unnecessary to trust from a risk control perspective.

Finding the Eighth Herrscher requires the other party's help, even if it's not voluntary.

Alicia's hair was a mess from scratching her fingers. She looked up at the others.

"What if Huaneng is persuaded?"

May emphasized her words: "Alice, there is absolutely no need to verify this. As long as we don't open the box, we don't need to know whether the cat is alive or dead in this incident."

"What did Kehua do wrong?"

"We don't need to think about this now; she is a companion Herrscher."

Alicia held her head in her hands, as if she had returned to the original question.

If she sacrifices one innocent person chosen by fate in the story, she can save the '5 geniuses,' and this time, she can even save the entire world.

"If you don't like this approach, then after this incident, I will personally atone with my death."

Mei spoke again, her voice pressing.

Volume 1: Chapter 186, Section 184: Alicia Chooses to Forfeit This Round

When Alicia returned home, the room, which should have been dark, was lit up.

Did I not turn off the lights?

She pushed open the door, and the sight that met her eyes stunned her. The once neat and cozy living room was now a mess, with all sorts of intricate parts she couldn't name scattered all over the floor, as if a small explosion had occurred.

Alicia bent down, her fingertips touching a cold, hard piece of metal—Soul Steel.

Her gaze swept past the chaos and landed in the center of the living room. An Yu was sitting leisurely on the only relatively clean sofa, holding a half-eaten apple.

"Did Vilvie teach you how to dismantle the Divine Key?"

Alicia's feelings were indescribably complicated, with a hint of secret joy. Finally, she didn't have to make that decision.

She will have plenty of time to deal with Hua's situation afterward; all she needs to do is win.

"The four cores—Void, Ice, Flame, and Consciousness—have indeed given me a feeling of invincibility, I don't deny it."

An Yu shook the apple core in her hand, her tone relaxed.

Alicia squinted, wondering if it was just her imagination, but she felt that An Yu wasn't giving her much pressure at the moment. Wasn't he a quad-core?

An Yu put the remaining apples aside: "I thought you would let Hua go. After all, apart from being forcibly used by me, she is subjectively an innocent child. Locking her up in the deepest place is enough."

The Honkai energy that had been solidified and surrounding Alicia suddenly froze, as if it had let out a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean?"

Her voice trembled slightly. They weren't children anymore, and she understood what the Herrscher was saying.

"It's a smart move. Since you're still hesitating, all the decisions are made by others, and you won't have to take the blame."

An Yu walked to the window, her back to her.

"Of course, that's actually quite correct. You are a goddess, the key figure who will pilot Noah's Ark. You cannot have any blemishes on your record."

"And thinking about it carefully, I shouldn't have chosen Hua either. After all, the birth of the Seventh Herrscher is closely related to her. Although she was under my control, she didn't cause you any trouble for too long."

An Yu stretched and yawned. If her older sister was improving this fast, in reality... she always felt that her older sister was going to pull some tricks. Her innocent and cute older sister was the easiest to fool.

Anyway, I don't expect my older sister to figure out the dream, so let her have her fun. I just hope she can have some fun in the dream.

Where is Hua now?

Alicia's voice became serious again, and she put the coat she had just thrown aside back on.

An Yu hesitated for a moment: "About 12 kilometers to the southeast."

Alicia ignored him and quickly disappeared from sight. It was hard to say whether it was the trust she had built up from the previous encounters or her arrogance towards An Yu.

An Yu blinked. So, sis, you really didn't know about this?

"Go for it! My dear Goddess Sister."

This is... not bad, after all, it's better for my older sister to be a little slow.

As for what An Yu is going to do now, he needs to adjust the launch direction of the Fifth Divine Key. Damn it, he really doesn't understand how to disassemble the Fifth Divine Key!

He didn't even understand how to disassemble the second divine key; he originally thought it was similar to the sixth divine key.

The result was that the sixth key to the divine power was a lance, the second was a locomotive, and the fifth was a heavy ground-based weapon. This was not a difficult task at all.

"I really underestimated Vervi's talent. Let's cooperate again next time. Such an easy-to-fool all-around genius is even rarer than Mebius."

An Yu wasn't idle either; he went to the First Laboratory in the last few hours, and now the First Laboratory should be wide open.

Okay, no, the professor didn't actually participate in the final stages.

"Oh, the adorable, cold and evil doctor? You didn't even participate in the upcoming fusion warrior surgery?" Jiu

"I was wondering why the surgical approach wasn't being performed in the first laboratory." (Temple)

An Yu approached with a grin, looking at the green-haired girl sitting at the lab table, seemingly unmoved by all the noise.

Mebius remained silent, and even the arrival of the Herrscher didn't elicit much of a reaction from her.

"The law, the lawman!" (Part 3)

Klein's heart was pounding! But the Doctor remained calm.

"That's really awful." 6

Möbius murmured softly.

After leaving the meeting room, she kept thinking about one thing: could this be considered as succumbing to reality, completely submitting to human nature and the answer given by the lawgiver for a better future?

She could even comfort herself by saying that she didn't have the surgery done by herself and couldn't stop it, just like her deceased father, whose personality was completely changed by the 'drugs,' and that everything was beyond her control.

"What are you doing here? Killing Alicia now would be the most beneficial thing for you."

She turned her head, her snake-like eyes coldly fixed on An Yu.

"No need. After your numerous modifications, the Fifth Divine Key, combined with the Seventh Herrscher Core, can already exceed its limits."

"With the fifth divine key beyond the limit, Alicia wouldn't survive. She might even choose to endure it to save others, and die in the most cool moment."

An Yu sat to the side, speaking in a relaxed tone.

Mebius was even more puzzled.

But what brings you here?

“Let’s make a deal, Doctor, or rather, Professor Möbius,” An Yu extended an invitation.

Professor… Möbius still doesn’t know why he’s called Professor, but Alicia and Kevin Aponia are used to calling him that.

Indeed, the Herrscher and the three of them share a common origin in some sense.

"What deal?"

"I'll tell you how to mock Vilvie when we get back. You just need to keep an eye on things for me in the group chat and, by the way, help the doctor maintain the lie that I don't know anything about dreams."

Mebius's mind is a mess, what are you talking about?

what?

What are you babbling about?

Can you speak in a way that humans can understand?

An Yu didn't explain much; he came here simply to maintain his image in the group.

After reading Kevin's memories, he discovered that the loving family was truly full of talented people.

Mebius's image was...reliable?

It's still more reliable than Vilvi.

"What can I get?"

Mebius suddenly spoke.

“I’ll add you to our small group to discuss the truth of reality,” An Yu said, throwing out the bait.

Mebius:......

"My contact information is xxx..."

An Yu patiently explained, "Let me repeat myself, my contact information is xxx..."

Mebius:......
