Their commission was suspicious.

This is fusion surgery. No matter how much anesthesia you receive, the deep, bone-deep pain is impossible to hide.

However, it seems that research into new anesthetics has now been put on the agenda. It has been put on Chen Luo's agenda.

Chen Luo planned to use the knowledge from the Imaginary Tree Stigmata to enhance his own prestige.

I want to become a Doctor!

“Perhaps she really could become a fusion warrior.” After the female Firemoth soldier wiped his sweat, Chen Luo, who was wearing a mask, suddenly spoke up.

This is the third reason for the existence of female Moth Warriors—to wipe sweat and pass supplies.

Very few doctors can perform extremely complex surgeries alone. This is because doctors don't have multiple hands.

Unless the doctor is a physical monster, for example... the doctor himself is a fusion warrior or something.

The purpose of some nurses is to assist doctors, like the female soldiers standing next to us now.

"Why do you say that?" the soldier asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because... we can sense that she has a good affinity with the Honkai Beast genes; the fact that her expressions of pain are gradually decreasing is an example," Chen Luo said.

"..." Hearing Chen Luo's words, the female soldiers couldn't help but feel a little envious of Aponia.

After briefly attracting the supervisor's attention, Chen Luo withdrew the power of metamorphosis from his hand.

Although the doll's mark is invisible and intangible, the power of breaking free from the cocoon and becoming a butterfly does indeed shine.

The Fate Threads' power indicates that Aponia will survive this ordeal, but since the Fate Threads' power ultimately originated from Aponia, it's not impossible that there might be some deviation as a result.

Therefore, Chen Luo needed to take out a more secure insurance policy.

Come, Aponia, let me see if fate truly cannot be changed.

Let me see just how powerful Aponia's ability to observe fate truly is—not just a memory, but the real Aponia!

But will this ability be able to see through me, a traveler from another world?

……

"Doctor, how is the child's mother?" Alicia greeted Chen Luo as he slowly removed his mask as he walked out of the operating room.

"Save the mother or the child?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"Huh? Uh... can't we have both?" Alicia asked tentatively.

"Of course you can."

"Oh, doctor, you scared me to death."

"Don't get excited, I was just joking with you. Actually... I didn't manage to save either of them."

"Huh? Doctor, if you say that, I'm going to cause a scene at the hospital!" Alicia raised her fist.

"Haha...just kidding." Chen Luo took a step back and accidentally bumped into the female soldier in charge of supervision who came out from inside.

"Why are you two joking like that? Alicia, aren't you worried about the safety of the people inside?" the soldier couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I'm not worried, because beautiful girls are omnipotent."

Is that so?

"Ahem, of course not. Although beautiful girls are indeed omnipotent, the fact that Chen Luo's expression isn't sad tells me there's good news. After all, Chen Luo and Aponia have a pretty good relationship," Alicia said.

“That’s right, at least his life is saved,” Chen Luo said.

"So, did you become a Fusion Warrior?" Alicia continued to ask.

Aponia will not die; this is Alicia's most basic trust in Chen Luo. Alicia has no doubt about it.

"Congratulations, you've gained another one of your kind."

"The seventh fusion warrior has been born? Today is a day to celebrate. So you can cook dinner at home tonight," Alicia exclaimed to Chen Luo.

Being able to perform a fusion surgery on one's own and turn the patient into a fusion warrior is already quite an achievement.

This is especially true today, when fusion surgery is not yet fully developed.

Because in the Fire Moth branch where Chen Luo is not present, quite a few have died due to the fusion surgery, but no fusion warriors have been born yet.

"No."

"You did a great job, I have to give you a shout-out. So for dinner..." Alicia winked at Chen Luo.

"No." Chen Luo shook his head again.

"Also, you can go into the operating room now. But you can only look through the window. Aponia's body isn't as strong as Scar's; she can move around immediately after the surgery," Chen Luo said, stepping aside.

The female soldier standing nearby didn't stop him; she simply nodded to Chen Luo and then hurriedly pulled out her communicator to report.

Given the current situation of the Firemoth, the birth of a Fusion Warrior remains a very important matter.

Humanity's 7th Fusion Warrior has been successfully born!

Alicia walked into the operating room full of anticipation.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Hmm, perhaps... today is also a memorable day for me." Chen Luo was quite satisfied with the reward he had just received.

Chapter 830 A Woman Standing Above Cause and Effect

"Yay, I've finally collected 10 random rewards. Let me see if I can get a set of equipment like the Friendship 7-piece set from last time."

This is why Chen Luo cheered.

However, Chen Luo probably doesn't have much time to open the rewards now. He can also imagine that he will be quite busy in the next few hours.

While the birth of another fusion warrior and the addition of someone capable of performing fusion surgery independently might not be groundbreaking news for the Fire Moth, it was certainly true for Chen Luo himself.

One of the 13 Heroes – Aponia. A woman who holds destiny and precepts in her hands, standing above cause and effect.

It's perfectly normal for Chen Luo to be curious about whether Aponia, who has become a fusion warrior, can see her own destiny clearly.

Moreover, the success of this fusion surgery means that Chen Luo can finally perform fusion surgery on his own.

If Chen Luo can only assist to ensure the volunteer doesn't die if the fusion surgery fails, then he can only be an assistant for life. But if Chen Luo can complete the fusion surgery independently and successfully, then he will be a special talent.

Even in pre-civilizations that were extremely brilliant and gradually developed the Moon Throne, the Key of God, and various magical abilities, the fusion surgery was a crucial step.

Fusion Warriors were present throughout the entire pre-Honkai civilization.

While it is rational to entrust the fate of human civilization to a very small number of Fusion Warriors, didn't the Honkai civilization also place most of its mission to destroy humanity on the 13 Herrschers?

It's not accurate to say it was destroyed; a test would be a more accurate description.

Compared to other technologies of the previous civilization, the fusion surgery was more like a god-making movement. The fusion warriors created by this surgery can be considered true gods, possessing immense power and lifespans that have yet to be fully realized.

In ancient times, Chen Luo's current achievements would be equivalent to almost completing his apprenticeship, and he would be able to perform fusion surgeries on his own in the future.

At the same time, this would also debunk the rumors currently circulating among the Firemoths—that using a resurrection card to ensure one's survival would reduce the probability of becoming a Fusion Warrior.

The person who said that is either stupid or malicious.

If the fusion surgery is successful, you won't need this resurrection card. If the fusion surgery fails, you'll die without using this resurrection card.

Chen Luo thought that after becoming a fusion warrior in Aponia, many high-ranking people would come to him to have fusion surgery.

Previously, volunteers were merely used by Chen Luo to practice fusion surgeries, but this time, Apolia was an opportunity to verify Chen Luo's results.

If it doesn't work, he can keep practicing. If it does work, then Chen Luo should see a significant increase in the number of orders he receives in the future.

"Mr. Luo, the news of the successful surgery on the fusion warrior Aponia has reached the higher-ups. They are very pleased with your achievement, so starting today, you will be exempt from one additional surgery opportunity per day, and holidays will not be deducted. We hope you can ensure the quality of each fusion surgery." The female Firemoth soldier said to Chen Luo.

"Understood." Chen Luo nodded.

Clearly, this information signals that some high-ranking officials are quite interested in having Chen Luo undergo a fusion surgery with no side effects.

For the higher-ups, it's better to let Chen Luo rest and recuperate properly than to give him an extra opportunity to practice every day, and then ensure the quality of each fusion surgery.

"Has the lockdown not been lifted?"

“No, given that you can now perform fusion surgery alone, to prevent anyone from trying to steal the secrets of the fusion surgery from you, your confinement will be even stricter from today onwards. This is also for your safety. If you can be assassinated even within the Firemoth, you might face even more dangers outside of it,” the soldier said.

"As compensation, the higher-ups have prepared that direct doctoral admission spot for you. If you can publish some research results other than fusion surgery in the coming period, or make further improvements to fusion surgery, and meet enough requirements, you can be directly admitted to the doctoral program."

For high-level officials, academic degrees like doctorates are not valuable. They're just titles, and they don't cost any money.

Since Chen Luo wants it, then let's give it to him.

Simply put, it's just making empty promises.

This pancake is big and round.

“Understood. I’ll go in and check on Aponia first. If you’re planning to take her away, it’s best to wait until tonight so she can rest properly,” Chen Luo said.

After becoming a Fusion Warrior, their abilities will undoubtedly be enhanced, and even those with a mental perception ability will experience a significant boost in physical attributes.

After Chen Luo entered the ward next to the operating room, he saw Alicia looking out and Aponia, who was separated from Alicia by only a glass window.

There is a convalescent observation room next to the operating room for the fusion surgery, but it is rarely used.

If the volunteers who died halfway through the fusion surgery were healed by Chen Luo's doll-like transformation, most of them were able to leave in wheelchairs.

The explanation given was that the fusion surgery was abandoned halfway through. Although the surgery failed, the injury was not serious and the patient could be moved away in a wheelchair immediately.

The first few volunteers to become Fusion Warriors were all soldiers within the Flame Chaser organization. Even Desdobia, a psychic, possessed quite good physical abilities. While they couldn't walk immediately after surgery like Scar, they could leave normally as long as they didn't run around recklessly.

Only Aponia successfully underwent the fusion surgery, but her physical condition was somewhat worrying. Chen Luo could even kill three people with one punch, which is why this sanatorium observation room was needed.

Of course, this is also related to the level of importance attached to Aponia. If it were a high-ranking person performing the fusion surgery, a series of medical staff would have been prepared outside the operating room, and she would immediately enjoy VIP treatment once she came out of the operating room. But Aponia is different; not many people care about Aponia's life or death.

"Is there any lingering pain? That's normal; fusion surgery is indeed very painful," Alicia comforted Aponia.

Meanwhile, Aponia, who was lying in the hospital bed, had woken up and looked weakly at Alicia outside and Chen Luo, who had walked to Alicia's side.

"I'm genuinely curious, did you really undergo fusion surgery back then? Or was your fusion surgery somewhat unusual? You're a fusion warrior yourself, yet you can say such outrageous things," Chen Luo said after walking up to Alicia.

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?" Alicia was taken aback.

Fusion surgery...Isn't this what people say it feels like? Anyway, when Kevin had his fusion surgery, he said it was very painful.

Did I say something wrong?

"Hmph, hard to say. No answer." Chen Luo glanced at Alicia and said.

Alicia's fusion surgery is completely different from other people's fusion surgeries. After all, the idea of ​​performing fusion surgery on a Herrscher is absurd.

Honkai Beasts are essentially subordinate servants of the Herrschers, so it's quite hard to understand why simply fusing with Honkai Beast genes could grant them power comparable to the Herrschers.

It can only be said that if these people had not undergone fusion surgery but had become true Herrschers, they would probably be even more terrifying.

"Alicia, what do you think would happen if the Fusion Warrior fused with the genes of a Herrscher instead of a Honkai Beast?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"Probably... nothing will happen?" Alicia said after hesitating for a moment.

"Lolo, you're starting to resemble a mad scientist like Mebius more and more."

“You should actually ask Mebius about this. She’s one of the most skilled people at fusion surgery and has also studied Herrscher corpses. If fusion surgery between humans and Herrschers really is possible, Mebius would definitely try it. The reason she wouldn’t probably do it is that the strength of a Herrscher often lies in the strength of the Herrscher’s core, right?” Alicia said thoughtfully.

"What if a Herrscher fuses with the genes of a Honkai Beast to become a Fusion Warrior? What incredible changes would occur then?" Chen Luo continued to ask.

"Well... who knows? We can't really find a Herrscher to cooperate with the fusion surgery, can we?" Alicia shook her head and said.

However, a hint of panic unconsciously flashed in Alicia's eyes, but she hid it very well.

"Is that so? Then let's leave it at that." Chen Luo gave Alicia a meaningful look.

In the early days when the technology of fusion surgery was not mature, the birth of fusion surgery was often accompanied by extremely strong side effects in appearance, such as Sakura's ears, Mebius's snake eyes, and Kevin's hypothermia.

However, as the second fusion warrior born after Kevin and before Mebius, Alicia's changes seem more like a blessing.

For example, its elfin-like ears.

This might prove that Herrschers are not incapable of fusion surgery, and that if a Herrscher were to undergo fusion surgery, she might be able to enhance her strength (or perhaps Alicia has been hiding her strength all along) and control the changes in her own fusion warrior characteristics.

Should we try it on Himiko?

"Then I'll go in first." Chen Luo said to Alicia as he walked around to the door of the observation room next door.

"Wait a minute, Aponia is resting. Aren't we supposed to keep unauthorized people out?"

“But the problem is, I’m a doctor.” Chen Luo pointed to his white coat.

"Does this mean doctors can do whatever they want in hospitals?"
