It sounded like quite a humane test question, not directly cutting everyone off like past Herrschers — it even gave humans the right to self-select.
The vile beco more vile, while the noble receive rewards. Regardless, those with so Honkai resistance would ultimately find it easier to survive future major Honkai eruptions than those with no resistance.
But from an administrator’s perspective, this Herrscher of Domination was quite troubling.
Just the characteristic of making ordinary people more susceptible to desire would cause cri rates to skyrocket, not to ntion the effect of making bad people worse…
If so administrators were affected by this, it would be a complete disaster.
“Can’t we remove the cores or control the spread sohow?”
“Not really feasible.”
I shook her head and continued:
“You probably didn’t notice, but the Herrscher of Domination’s core location is different from normal Herrschers. It lodges in the cerebral cortex and connects to the nervous system. Even removing it through Herrscher thods could easily cause irreversible damage to the core’s host.”
“If it’s small-scale, it’s manageable — we could attempt nanoscale surgery, but this thod obviously lacks scalability.”
No matter how humanitarian they were, they still had to consider cost issues, especially with Fire Moth’s control gradually transitioning to them.
As leaders, they had to consider reasonable resource allocation.
“Besides, removal is aningless. Even after removal, as long as they encounter infected bodies again, cores will reappear.”
“As for transmission…”
“This thing can spread through animals.”
— And because it’s a Herrscher core, unlike ordinary viruses, this thing could not only spread through birds and beasts, but even fish and insects could beco carriers.
For this reason, I deduced that if this thing spread in the future, the animals humans raised would probably all beco hazards.
After all, humans could still be managed to so extent through technology or law, but if animals were dominated by the Herrscher of Domination’s desires, surely no one could expect animals to understand restraint — perhaps a few might exist, but those obviously lacked universal applicability.
“Hehe, you needn’t be so pessimistic.”
With beeping sounds, Mobius joined their conversation, her words carrying so lightness.
“Although this is indeed a big trouble, isn’t it also a pathway for human evolution?”
Saying this, her eyes held so fervor.
The deeper her understanding of this Herrscher of Domination that spread in a “virus-like” manner, the more excited and thrilled Dr. Mobius beca.
This was even more fascinating to her than dissecting the 2nd Herrscher’s remains.
— With my hands, ascending to godhood.
Having developed this ideal of making humanity more perfect — not ugly like her father — due to her terrible family background, when Mobius saw the perfect beings called Herrschers, she conceived this philosophy.
But even after personally dissecting the 2nd Herrscher, she couldn’t find satisfactory answers.
After all, the birth of perfect life forms like Herrschers was ultimately too demanding and lacked universal applicability.
So later, Mobius chose a more universally applicable route — fusion warriors derived from Honkai Beasts.
Due to circumstances and various factors, although this technology granted her “immortal” life, compared to her ideals and what she wanted to achieve, this was at best a semi-finished product, a failure.
Until the 12th Herrscher’s sudden appearance, Mobius finally saw the dawn of her dream’s realization — unfortunately, no one agreed with her ideas.
No one wanted to abandon human form and beco a consciousness virus like the 12th Herrscher, right?
Although now, the 12th Herrscher hadn’t appeared.
But from this “new Herrscher of Domination” that The Cocoon created specifically to target the “Herrscher of Origin,” Mobius seed to see a glimr of hope.
It could turn all humans into “Herrscher of Domination embryos.” Although compared to true Herrschers, Mobius clearly understood that “Herrscher of Domination embryos” were essentially fake silver-tipped wax heads that couldn’t beco true Herrschers — at best, they were slaves dominated by desire.
But—
If she could research a thod to convert them from false to real and eliminate the hidden dangers, then the ideal of making humanity into more perfect life forms seed within reach.
By then, even the originally worrying Honkai wouldn’t need to be feared anymore.
“…You’re still holding onto that idea, Dr. Mobius.”
I sighed.
Her — or rather, their — biggest disagreent with Mobius lay precisely here.
Whether I or Vill-V, both found it difficult to agree with Mobius’s ideas.
Although they clearly understood that what determined human essence wasn’t the frail “human” body, Mobius’s ideas seed too hasty and extre to them.
It was like betting humanity’s fate on Mobius’s confidence in her own talent.
Mobius didn’t expect I to agree with her. In fact, when discussing this topic, they often ended with argunts and parting on bad terms.
So instead, she looked toward another person — if it were that fool, the snake definitely wouldn’t do such stupid things, but the current 【Elysia】 made Mobius expect perhaps different answers. This usually strong-willed genius now had eyes flashing with so barely concealed longing and anxiety:
“Elysia, do you think the sa way too?”
“Sorry, as 【Elysia】, I hold the sa view as I.”
The pink girl pondered for a mont and said words that disappointed Mobius — although very slim, she still hoped that at least Elysia could beco her understanding companion. Unfortunately, she seed to remain alone.
…This was fine too. Mobius never needed any companions anyway.
Thinking this, disappointnt hidden in her heart, but her determination to do what she wanted remained unshaken.
Even if I and Vill-V opposed her, she would definitely do what she set her mind to!
But just as she was about to end the communication, the girl’s unfinished words rang in her ears:
“But personally, if you think that’s possible, then go ahead and do it to your heart’s content.”
At this mont, Mobius’s lips curved into a genuine smile.
Indeed, that woman was really annoying!
