From the moment he became a Herrscher, there was no doubt that Möbius's physical functions had broken free from the shackles of his mortal body.
Cell strength and telomere length have both increased exponentially—and because this authority belongs to the Herrscher of Death, Mebius, who now wields the power of creation, is among the most difficult to kill even among all Herrschers. The only thing that is inferior to the Shesa gene originally used by Mebius is his ability to withstand attacks.
Of course, this is really nothing to worry about. After all, while the so-called strong bodies of Honkai Beasts are indeed stronger than those of Herrschers, their strength is actually limited. When the level rises to a certain level, such as the Herrscher level, the so-called strong bodies of Honkai Beasts are actually insignificant in front of Herrschers who use their authority properly.
In the face of death, the passing of life is equal for all.
Even someone as strong as Kevin couldn't possibly eat something like that.
With the life-giving power of creation, capable of reviving the dead and healing flesh and bones, the healing of the 'scar' that originally remained on [Mebius]'s body was naturally a piece of cake.
Of course, Mebius wouldn't care about such things.
She thinks of more.
For example....
Having adapted to this body that had returned to her teenage years, Mebius, like a cunning and hungry mother snake, wore the same smile as Jiang Qiao had when she used it before, staring intently at Jiang Qiao with a 'malicious' gaze.
"Hehe~ It's commendable that you helped me complete the evolution, but if you don't listen, I'll be very unhappy~" The tone of that little devil was exactly the same as that of the Paradise Snake in later generations.
Of course, this is not surprising, after all, Mebius was like this when he was young, he just toned it down a bit later, and was also influenced by someone.
For Mebius, it's simply a natural progression.
"This is really strange. You do a good deed and still get complained about."
"Hmph~ Enough with the nonsense, I haven't settled the score with you yet."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing Jiang Qiao's smile, Möbius paused, as if remembering something, her cheeks flushing slightly. But the next moment, she shook her head and then revealed a rather 'wicked' smile:
"Hehe~ You're quite the talker, but I wonder if you can keep talking like this."
"I'm extremely skilled at getting mice to shut up."
"Also, don't even think about winning against this body." Twisting his snake-like body, with his long dress resembling a snake's belly accentuated by it, Mebius licked his lips and approached Jiang Qiao with a sly smile. He greedily scanned her with eyes that seemed to be watching prey, as if he would devour her completely in the next moment, leaving not even bones behind.
"Did I end up shooting myself in the foot?"
"Hmph~ You're quite self-aware, but I won't be polite. Even if you beg for mercy, it won't work~" With a light hum, Mebius's breath became slightly hotter—the thought that this body was the result of this bad guy's labor, and that he was going to use the result of the other's labor to 'teach' him a lesson, gave Mebius a twisted sense of pleasure.
She was incredibly proud and confident, certain of victory in the impending 'war'.
Unlike the last time when he was utterly defeated, with this Herrscher body and the power of creation that can infinitely repair his body, he can be said to be 'invincible' in terms of physical strength.
And this guy in front of me—hmph, so what if he does have some annoying special skills?
No matter what, Jiang Qiao is just a mortal, and she can't even repair her body through Honkai like a Herrscher.
But he could recover indefinitely... and looking at his much smaller size, Mebius didn't feel sorry, but rather a little proud - Mebius, who was almost thirty years old, was completely different from his teenage self!
In conclusion—times have changed, Jiang Qiao!
This time, it won't be me, Mebius, who will be routed, but you, Jiang Qiaoda!
The confident Mebius pressed forward, drawing back the curtain on the 'counterattack against Jiang Qiao'.
Meanwhile, just a few walls away, Miss Alicia was playing with little Gretchen.
Well—it might look more like they're playing with Little Greta?
However, staying outside the lab all the time doesn't seem like a good idea, since there's absolutely nothing fun to do here.
so....
Miss Alicia glanced at Mebius's laboratory, hesitated for a moment, and then said to little Grey:
"Come on, little Gretchen, your big sister Alicia will take you to play somewhere else."
Although she had thoughts like, "Wouldn't it be bad if Jiang Qiao came out and couldn't see me?", Alicia puffed out her cheeks when she thought of Jiang's bad deeds.
Hmph, what does it matter to me if that guy comes out and can't see me? He's so mean! He should be punished severely! Let him worry about not seeing me!
What was this called again...? Alicia tried to recall the information she had seen online, it seemed to be—placement play.
The easier something is to obtain, the less it is valued.
Alice, who deeply agreed with this, decided to use this method to teach that bad guy a lesson.
It's Möbius...
Hmm, nothing should happen, right?
Alicia didn't even consider the possibility of something 'strange' happening, after all, she was still extremely naive—and someone like Mebius certainly wouldn't do such a thing.
How long have she been with Jiang Qiao?
Thinking of this, Alicia felt instantly at ease. Carrying little Gresh on her back, she became a moth chasing the flame, accompanied by the fairy Ali.
On the way, they encountered a blue-haired woman who looked remarkably like Gretchen—Blanca.
"Graysh!"
She was somewhat agitated.
Hi~ Blanca.
"It's Alicia. What's Gretchen doing here?"
"She said she was bored being alone, so she went to Mebius's lab, and I ran into her there. I then showed her around the base."
"Ah, I'm sorry... I've been quite busy with work lately and haven't had time to look after the child. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"No, no, I really like this child. He's so small and cute~" Alicia waved her hand, her beautiful blue eyes full of smiles.
"Fairy Airi is clearly cute too!"
"So cute!" Gretsch, with her naturally childlike voice, echoed the former, causing the fairy Ellie to hug her fairy wand and reveal a satisfied expression.
"Right, right! I'm a fairy from the Land of Celestial Music!"
"Yes, yes, you are all very cute." Blanca said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
Where are you headed, Blanca?
"Well, when I got back I found that Gretchen was missing, so I thought I'd go out and look for her... Now that I've found her, could you please look after Gretchen for me, Alicia?"
"No problem at all."
"Thank you so much, sorry... I have to go to the training grounds now." Blanca's tone revealed a hint of anxiety—transferring to the medical department of the Firemoth was not easy, even though it was headquarters, there were still many troubles.
The training ground is a major disaster area, where injuries caused by training mistakes are commonplace.
"That's quite a coincidence. I was just planning to take little Gretchen to the training grounds to take a look."
“...Alright then, let’s go together.” Blanca hesitated for a moment, glancing at little Gretchen. Although she felt it wasn’t appropriate to take a child to such a place, considering the chaos and situation in the world, she figured it wouldn’t matter if it was just training in the training grounds. So Blanca nodded.
The training ground they were heading to was also bustling with activity at that moment.
Thanks to the improvement of the 'Transformation Bracelet', the Fire Moth is currently undergoing a re-equipment of its basic combat forces.
Of course, considering the adaptation issue—only one batch has been issued so far, and it is intended for data collection, trial installation, and other purposes.
In the center of the training ground, an orange-haired girl wearing armor with bright yellow as the main color was all smiles.
Surrounding the training grounds were many warriors who were like moths drawn to flame.
"This new weapon from the organization is really powerful."
A man with deep blue hair, wearing a combat uniform bearing the insignia of the Fire Moth, dusted himself off and couldn't help but sigh.
This was naturally Gretsch's father, Hen, the captain of the Ninth Squad.
With the matter settled in New Zealand and nothing much to do on the Mu Continent, the Ninth Squad returned to headquarters during their brief break—also to be equipped with new gear.
Desdobia, who was also a tester like Kosmo, is the main subject of this demonstration.
"By the way, your armor looks pretty cool."
Hen's words were full of admiration—as the saying goes, mecha is a man's romance. Although armor is not the same as mecha, this kind of thing with the beauty of metal and technology is undoubtedly a man's fantasy, even for an old man like Hen who is over thirty years old.
Out of curiosity, as the top fighter of the Ninth Squad—and among the Fire Moth warriors, second only to a 'monster' like Alicia—he challenged Desdobia to a duel, and the result was self-evident... Fortunately, Desdobia was careful and didn't go too far, otherwise Hen would be lying on the ground right now.
Even so, the superior combat power provided by the True Self Armor caused Hen to break several ribs, leaving several soldiers who had come along to join in the fun lying on their backs, waiting for medical assistance.
"Hehe~ Isn't it nice? But that's not all, this armor also has some very interesting little surprises."
"A little surprise? You make it sound so mysterious, I'm really curious."
Hen found it somewhat amusing, then picked up a 'transformation bracelet' from a tray placed to the side, pondering for a moment: "I didn't expect such a small thing could do that much. Times have really changed."
"The design is quite nice, but it's not very masculine... It would be so much better if it were designed like a watch, so it could also serve as a clock."
"Alright, let me see what this so-called little surprise of yours is all about."
As he said this, even though he was a mature old man, there was a hint of excitement in Hen's eyes, after all, he had just personally experienced the combat power boost that Desdobia received when using this thing.
To put it bluntly, as a new recruit and still a young girl, Desdobia, despite her good talent, was not particularly outstanding among the warriors of the Firemoth—even in the original development, Desdobia only gained a certain status because of her status as one of the first eight fusion warriors.
After using this thing, he completely overwhelmed Hen, a veteran top-tier warrior. No matter how strong your combat experience is, you're no match for someone with tons of physical strength, reaction speed faster than a feline, and a maximum speed that can reach subsonic or supersonic speeds.
Although Hen didn't really care about power and only wanted to protect his family, as the Honkai's development became increasingly severe, conventional warriors like them were becoming more and more powerless. Even though Velvey developed many Honkai energy weapons after joining the Fire Moth, the limitations of the human body meant that every battle was still fraught with danger.
Hen always writes his will before going on a mission.
Blanca, as his wife, was increasingly worried about this, but she couldn't persuade her husband to transfer to another post like she had – after all, even though Hen loved his family very much and was willing to give everything for them, his pride would never allow him to be a deserter.
