The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Hey, why have you been so idle these past two days, running to my laboratory all the time?"

Mebius handed a pile of work documents to Klein, then took a cup of milk tea from the latter's hand and sipped it gently.

"Without the appearance of Herrscher, the Anti-Entropy Brigade itself is very idle. Although the number of recent Honkai outbreaks has become more and more intensive, they remain within the level that the Rapid Response Brigade can solve. It is not our turn to take action."

Mikael also held a cup of milk tea and sucked it hard, but his words were not ambiguous.

"What's wrong? Are your hands itchy? Then go find that monster Qianjie and don't bother me doing experiments."

Mebius couldn't help but feel disgusted, but she seemed to have handed over all the work to Klein. She was very relaxed, and she didn't know what Mikael had disturbed her.

"Well... I mainly want to develop Vishnu's ability. For me now, the fusion of a single Honkaiju factor seems a bit useless..."

"That's the Judgment Level... Oh no, it has been upgraded to the Mo Mage Level Honkai Beast. Mikael, don't be too greedy. 'Single Honkai Beast Factor'... Tsk, tsk, tsk, how many more do you want to fuse? Don't I'm sorry I didn't remind you that the fusion of your Vishnu factor is already very rough. Even if you are a Herrscher, the fusion factor may not be completely suitable - that is not just related to Honkai energy adaptability...etc. Wait, could it be that you couldn't wait to become stronger because of your tragic defeat at the hands of the Imaginary Number God?"

"Well……"

Michael was speechless for a moment after his thoughts were revealed. When he came back to his senses, he could only say helplessly:

"Of course I know this, but the physical blessing brought by the Vishnu factor is not that big compared to the Herrscher itself. As for other abilities, at least I don't have the ability that may be called [collapse]. As for [Swallowing], every time I try to do this, my body will start to deflect in the direction of man-made collapse, even if it's me... No, maybe it's just because of me that I don't dare to gamble on the possibility of collapse. I'm out of control and no one can stop me."

"Hey! Self-righteous!"

Mebius drank the last sip of milk tea, and then began to attack the "Pearl" with precision. In fact, like Mikael, she didn't like this sticky food, but since Klein bought it... forget it.

In comparison, Mikael's handling method was much rougher. He directly used his space power to put all the pearls into his mouth, and then the skin and fat on the exposed forearm seemed to disappear, dark blue and delicate. The necessary muscle fibers are beating.

Mebius's pupils shrank sharply - this is what Mikael said, the tendency of collapse, or in other words, the state of semi-collapse or limited collapse.

Sure enough, immediately afterwards, Mikael's face began to turn dark and ferocious, and an unexplained groan came from his throat. Mebius understood that feeling, which was between [human form] and [artificial collapse form] In this distance, one can still maintain self-awareness, and therefore one can feel the side effects of collapse: every cell in the body will feel pain with breathing. If it completely collapses and the consciousness falls into a deep sleep, it will not be felt.

But as his cheeks and throat squirmed, the large group of pearls was easily swallowed by him, and that was the end. Then his skin quickly turned white, and soon returned to its original appearance.

"If you want to maintain absolute self-awareness, you can only reach this level. I feel that it is not suitable for me to use in battle. Of course, the purpose of my coming here is to test various physical indicators in this state and see. What is the so-called small improvement? "

"There's really nothing you can do...come with me."

Mebius took Mikael to the small cubicle next to the laboratory, which was filled with instruments that were old or no longer needed.

Mikael couldn't help but walk to a dynamometer. The impact point still had a yellowed portrait of Famas on it, but the rest of it was well maintained. Although it was not as clean as new, Mikael I wiped it with my index finger and only felt a light layer of dust.

"Mebius, do you still have the habit of nostalgic? Can't you tell?"

"Ah? Are you talking about this? This is all cleaned by Klein. It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with it at all!"

"..."

Mikael resisted the urge to expose her: With the intensity of Klein's twenty-four-hour day, could he still have the strength to do this?

But it would be more appropriate to ignore Mebius's harsh words. If he said "Ah, yes, yes," and made her angry, that would not be a good thing...

"Come on, behave yourself and throw a punch."

She silently took off the portrait of Famas. She wanted to crumple it into a ball and throw it away, but after thinking about it, she turned around, folded the portrait neatly in half, and then threw it into a locker nearby. - After all, this is the last photo of an old friend.

Over there, Mikael had already punched in a normal state in a short period of time, and then quickly switched to a limited collapse state and punched.

When Mebius turned around, he had already read out the difference: "About 8.67%? It's a bit higher than I thought, but it's still not a big improvement... and there are still considerations. The physical and psychological side effects of this state make it seem like the gain outweighs the gain.”

"Stop talking nonsense and come to the speed test!"

…………

After a lot of tossing, Mikael finally got the final report.

"The overall increase is about five percent, which is indeed tasteless. However, considering that resistance and endurance cannot be quantitatively measured with instruments, it cannot be said that it is completely useless..."

"...I think you are mocking me."

The strength of the resistance was naturally a reference to his glorious deeds of being instantly killed by the Imaginary Divine Skeleton with a sword two days ago.

Endurance should refer to the history that when one could not synchronize with the core, using the Second God's Key to phase travel once would cause one to collapse from exhaustion.

Well... Anyway, Mikael's first reaction was these two.

"Ah? Really? Are you too sensitive?"

"We do not rule out this possibility, but Dr. Mebius, can you flatten the corners of your lips before saying this?"

"cut!"

Mebius curled his lips, as if he really didn't want Mikael to stay here any longer. Mikael had achieved what he said, so naturally he no longer forced him to stay, and he was pushed out of the room by her.

"Okay! Is there anything else you want to say? If not, just leave quickly! Hum, if you don't leave, some people won't be able to see you, but they will cry!"

"..."

Mikael touched his chin, feeling that Mebius was a bit overreacting today?

"By the way, I do have something to ask you. I vaguely heard that the Vishnu factor fusion experiment will involve volunteers signing up to participate directly? Is this what you proposed?"

"I told you, don't throw any bad things at me!"

Mebius shook his head disdainfully, "But speaking of it, I have to admire Mei for insisting on introducing this method even when I can predict your opinion... Ha! But she also seems to have a guilty conscience. I actually didn’t tell you about this in person..."

Regarding the previous surgery to fuse warriors, due to Mikael's insistence, the policy was still to adopt a small-scale review and not to spread it immediately. That is, the genetic data of volunteers are recorded in advance, and then matched with the collected Honkaiju genes, and then the genetic fitness and surgical success rate are calculated.

However, after obtaining the matching result, the operation is not performed immediately. Instead, the operation is performed until the situation is urgent, such as when Mikael's life or death was uncertain before, and then the operation is performed based on the success rate of the operation, genetic fitness, and the level of Honkaimon. Emergency surgery. Just like Velvet, Hen, and Destobia before. Although the mortality rate of surgery is still high, it is at least relatively humane.

As for the Vishnu experiment, according to the information Kevin "accidentally" revealed to Mikael, Mei seemed to want to skip the step of calculation verification and directly conduct the experiment.

"Why?"

Mikael needed a reason. But he couldn't directly question Mei about this matter. After all, if the people below found out that there was a quarrel between the two leaders of the organization, the impact would not be good. This is the subtext of Mei asking Kevin to deliver a message for her.

"Why else? It's just a problem, cost. Genetic testing requires cost. Local tissue fusion experiments require cost. And calculation, haha, although there are relatively fixed models that can be used, you know this time, when I heard that the fusion factor is How many people signed up on the first day for a Mortal-level Honkai Beast? The number of people who signed up for the main base alone exceeded 1,000. If you include the new branch bases on all continents, the number of people who signed up was definitely over 10,000. . With so much data to process, Prometheus can no longer afford this kind of work...

"Also, let me tell you something that you have never paid attention to, Mikael - how do you think the so-called model was established?"

Mikael's pupils shrank, yes, why had he always ignored it... To build a corresponding model for each Honkaimon, at least thousands of samples would be needed to provide data support!

"So, the blood has been flowing, but you don't know it. No, you actually know it in your heart. When you handed over the poisonous pupae that survived the riot to me, you shouldn't have had this feeling in your heart. Have you made up your mind? Or do you like to pretend you don’t know anything so that you can stand in the sun and point at me and Mei, judge us, and then shoot the fatal shot? "

"Oh I see."

This is Mikael's answer.

Neither became angry from embarrassment nor couldn't accept it to the point of crying and making a fuss.

Perhaps as Mebius said, he had already made this determination in his heart, and the rest... hum, it was just some pretentious moral obsessiveness.

He left, just as Mebius asked.

But Mebius had a feeling of sudden loss lingering in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.

"Okay Klein, let's leave the housework to Cang Xuan and Danzhu. We are going to do the real work."

"Yes, Dr. Mebius."

Klein stood respectfully behind Mebius and followed her into the room filled with old equipment. They continued walking inside and patted the wall of the innermost closet, and then the closet moved towards It slid aside, revealing the dark laboratory behind it.

Before the two of them had completely stepped inside, a cold wind burst out from inside, along with an unbearable fishy smell and an unexplained roar.

Klein turned on the light. There were hundreds of experimental subjects here.

They have different shapes. Rather than being human beings, we might as well call them dead soldiers.

Perhaps the only thing they have in common is that there are lines of different shapes that light up at different locations on each person's body.

"That said, doctor, you still don't want to show this side to Captain Mikael."

"Klein, why have you become as verbose as Danzhu!"
