Chapter 152: Pardofelis
***
If he were to act as 【Elysia】, he would be unable to agree with Mobius’s idea — after all, in the original tiline, Elysia was the one who most opposed Mobius’s attempts to turn humans into Herrschers.
In the Previous Era records within the Elysian Realm, there were even instances where she intervened to persuade Mobius when she privately dissected the 2nd Herrscher’s remains.
But if he set aside this identity, then Jiang Qiao would agree with what Mobius wanted to do.
Perhaps it was indeed an extrely high-risk attempt, a future that everyone would find difficult to accept, but regardless, it was a decision made by ‘humanity.’
Since that was the case, what difference was there between the individual and the collective?
“Really, saying such things to Dr. Mobius will make things very troubleso later.”
After Mobius’s communication ended, Dr. I, who was still maintaining the connection, glanced at the pink-haired girl with helpless eyes, her words filled with exasperation.
She and Vill-V were both part of the faction strictly preventing Mobius from causing trouble, but they never expected that 【Elysia】, who they thought was on their side, would directly defect to Mobius’s camp.
Although even if opposed by everyone, Mobius’s personality would never give up, having this happen would certainly make Mobius quite motivated.
“Hmm~ We are companions after all. If even I opposed her, wouldn’t Dr. Mobius be all alone? In that case, it would be too… pitiful. No, I can’t use such words. With Mobius’s personality, she would absolutely never accept things like ‘pity,’ so — I probably just don’t want her to be alone.”
“You really understand her well. If Dr. Mobius heard these words, she might be particularly moved.”
“Oh my, in her case, she’d probably say: ‘Who needs your concern? I don’t need such boring things!’ After all, Dr. Mobius is just that dishonest.” The pink-haired girl pinched her voice and made exaggerated expressions, vividly imitating ‘Mobius’s’ appearance, making Dr. I cover her mouth and laugh out loud.
Then ca a sigh:
“I just hope this decision won’t bring wrong results.”
Although she didn’t oppose 【Elysia】’s feelings toward her companions, gradually gaining authority in Fire Moth, for the future of all humanity, Dr. I inevitably had to view Mobius’s ideas from a leader’s perspective.
“You’re thinking too much, Dr. I. Even if Mobius doesn’t do that, don’t we also have difficulty coming up with a reasonable response strategy for the current Herrscher of Domination?”
“Since that’s the case, why not let Mobius do as she pleases.”
Compared to the previous Herrschers, the current Herrscher of Domination was more like a proper test question.
It no longer created trials for humanity through massive disasters, but instead transford the form of these disasters into humanity itself.
Facing such a Herrscher of Domination, even 【Elysia】, as the Herrscher of Origin, couldn’t interfere too much, after all — it was a trial for humanity as a species.
“Don’t worry, Dr. I. Even if problems really arise in the end, I’m still here, right?”
Although it was just an extrely simple smile, from the girl on the other end of the communication, Dr. I still felt a rare sense of reassurance.
She smiled, then regained her calm composure during work:
“Although the Herrscher of Domination has indeed created a difficult problem for us that’s hard to eliminate.”
“But even if we can’t find a way to solve this trouble in the short term — we at least need a strategy that can effectively suppress the social unrest caused by the Herrscher of Domination.”
“Regarding this aspect, do you have any opinions, Elysia?”
The appearance of the Herrscher of Domination would undoubtedly cause security crises worldwide, especially in certain countries where public safety was already concerning. After being catalyzed by this wave, it would probably beco even worse — zero-dollar shopping and such would beco commonplace.
Public safety often related to political stability. Excessively poor security could easily lead to regi collapse. Of course — this had certain benefits for Fire Moth and them.
Taking advantage of social unrest and the declining credibility of existing nations, Fire Moth could seize the opportunity to rise and further consolidate resources.
Regarding this aspect, Dr. I was already planning to strategize with Vill-V.
But even if they could rise to power, they still needed to consider the social unrest caused by poor security.
With the existence of the Herrscher of Domination, this point was unavoidable and required a reasonable solution.
Having experienced the previous incidents, Dr. I felt that the reliable 【Elysia】 might be able to provide so assistance.
“I don’t really understand this aspect… It seems we can only increase surveillance intensity.”
Human hearts were uncontrollable; the only things that could reasonably suppress them were laws and law enforcent agencies.
In this regard, North Arica and the Shenzhou region ford a stark contrast.
However—
“Perhaps there is soone who could indeed bring us considerable help.”
“?”
“She’s a very cute girl.”
Supporting her slender waist, the pink-haired girl raised her delicate index finger and winked.
“A… girl?”
Dr. I frowned slightly, not quite understanding.
She didn’t believe that the problems they currently faced could be solved by just one person.
Especially a girl.
Even with sufficient humility, Dr. I wouldn’t deny that she, Mobius, and the others were already among the world’s most outstanding minds.
And the ‘Elysia’ before her was the original Herrscher of Origin.
If even they couldn’t handle the Herrscher of Domination, would there still exist others in this world who could solve such a social-level crisis?
Of course, despite being full of confusion, she didn’t doubt the authenticity of what ‘Elysia’ described.
After all, as a ‘person from the future,’ the other party had already done too many incredible things. She and Vill-V were undoubtedly proof of that.
“Alright, then where are you going next? I’ll help you get the permits sorted.”
Dr. I was also very direct.
Previously, Jiang Qiao basically traveled privately, fortunately, those tis were basically under the guise of ‘taking leave.’
But as the war between Fire Moth and Honkai intensified, and Dr. I began acquiring authority within Fire Moth, the movents of 【Elysia】 as a Fla-Chaser also needed to be more regulated.
However, this wasn’t a bad thing. At least with official procedures, not only would it be easier to handle matters, but even when going to other countries, they wouldn’t end up illegally entering like when entering New Zealand.
“Thanks, I’ll leave the permit matter to you.”
