Teresa won't starve

That is to study the new Herrscher core, what kind of God's key can this inexplicably powerful core make?

While MEI was looking forward to it, he was also a little worried.

Can such a powerful God's Key really be used by humans?Who else can use it?

The figure of Kevin flashed through his mind——

No, you can't put more pressure on him!

......

In the next few months, MEI spent researching the Herrscher's core, manufacturing the God's Key, and commanding operations.

A few other things happened during this time-

1.

Can no longer tolerate the wanton assignment of high-level officials, especially wanting Kevin who has not yet recovered to fight, MEI chooses a hostile attitude-that is, rebellion.

When she was just a non-threatening researcher at the top, she led some people who were willing to fight against the privileged class with her, and wiped out most of the high-level people who regarded the sacrifices of soldiers simply as numbers.

Although some of them still fled, and they fell into a new crisis, there was no way to extinguish them all.

of course.

Those who escaped only took away unimportant information, as well as the test report called 'Ark Project' that MEI had heard occasionally.

Although I still care a little bit, but soon MEI can't care about them.

2.

The Eighth Herrscher, the Herrscher who holds the power of consciousness and can manipulate brain signals.

It was born in the middle of the night, when most people had already rested, and as a result, people were killed by the Herrscher in their sleep—no one could ever wake up from their dreams.

By the time Flame Chasing Moth found out, many places had already turned into 'City of Corpse'.

Flame Chasing Moth didn't even need to send soldiers to investigate, he was able to find out exactly where Herrscher was - the only figure that was still active was Herrscher.

Considering that the Eighth Herrscher's ability might be limited in scope, the snipers were asked to make tentative strikes.

did not expect--

At the level of consciousness, the Herrscher was almost equal to God, but his body was so fragile that he was headshot and killed by a sniper all at once, which made MEI mistakenly think that the Eighth Herrscher was nothing more than that.

But it didn't take long for her to understand that Herrschers may be strong or weak, but Herrscher's core is not. (except the end)

——Because she didn't pay enough attention to it, the newly forged God's Key 'Yu Duchen' had extremely serious flaws.

That is, when using the original power of the God's Key, which is the 'zeroth rated power', 'Feather Dust' will use the memory of the devouring user as the 'driving force'.

The more times you use it, the more blank your memory will be, and in the end you will become a blank person with no memory.

This is fatal to the current fire moth. If the user suddenly forgets what he is here for, who can bear it to his own people?

Knowing that things were messed up, MEI has no way to repent, because the God's Key cannot be remade at all-it can only be destroyed.

This made her more cautious about the next research.

Yu Duchen was also temporarily put on hold, failing to let it find its true owner.

3.

The Heavenly Fire Sacred Order was born.

Because of the previous accident, MEI obviously had to be more cautious.At the same time, considering that some people might not be able to use it, she chose to divide the weapon into two parts.

The two guns are collectively called "Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment", implying judgment from heaven. (Tianhuo actually refers to meteorites, not cats)

When the zeroth rated power is activated, the two guns will merge into the "Jie Mie" sword, so that the catastrophe of the end will come to this world and burn all the enemies.

This statement is no exaggeration. In fact, when the zero rated power is activated, the flames generated are enough to create a second 'Australia'.

But it is a pity that the user will also be reduced to ashes in the 'fire of robbery'.

This caused the Heavenly Fire Sacred Tribunal to become synonymous with disposable weapons—the user is disposable.

It wasn't until Kevin woke up that the result was reversed.

It seems that it was the battle with the Herrscher of Flame that allowed him to completely control the power in his body. He was able to resist the damage caused by the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, or Jie Mie, by controlling the cold.

Even if it still hurts him.

finally.

Under Kevin's insistence, and under the increasingly harsh situation, Mei hesitated and agreed to him, and handed over the God's Key to Kevin for use.

4.

Almost a year has passed, but Teresa still hasn't woken up.

This made MEI extremely confused, so he began to study Theresa's observation data.

038 "Theresa Research Report"

"Theresa, who are you?"

The more MEI observes, the more she knows about Teresa; but the doubts are not only not resolved, but more problems arise anyway.

First of all.

There is no doubt that Teresa is the most suitable body to become a fusion fighter.

Unlike most people's rough way of acceptance, Teresa's body's acceptance of the Houkai beast gene is much gentler.

Or too mild.

Her body is always adapting to the changes, slowly accepting the changes brought about by the Houkai beast gene.Because this process was too slow, most of her body's functions were temporarily stopped, and she was fully focused on 'evolution' and 'fusion'.

That's why she hasn't woken up until now.

——It seems that Teresa will wake up only when it is completely integrated.

According to the current situation, when Teresa wakes up, she will be a perfect fusion fighter, not a flawed fusion fighter like Kevin.

It's just that MEI is not sure whether he can wait until that time.Maybe when the next Herrscher appears, he will already be gone.

In that case, if there is only Teresa left in the end, what's the point of everything?

MEI knew that he should have prepared earlier.

At least for human beings, leave the last kindling.

At this time-

Hua, who was called by MEI not long ago, walked in front of her.

"Just tell me if you have anything to do, I'm very busy now."

Every time Hua meets MEI, he becomes in a bad mood, especially when meeting Teresa where she is sleeping.

MEI didn't answer her, just handed her a research report.

Just a pity.

There is a lot of dense writing on it, and various professional terms are used, so it is impossible to understand what is written.

"What is this?"

"Report on the child's physical condition."

"Are you studying her?" Hua felt wrong when she heard this, but she thought that the other party's occupation seemed normal, and the other party didn't hurt Teresa, it was just an observational research, so she didn't say anything more What.

"Probably." MEI pondered, thinking about how to describe it: "Through this period of understanding, I found that the age of her body cells is very... young?"

"What do you mean?"

"Yeah." Considering that Hua couldn't understand what she said, she explained it relatively straightforwardly: "She seems to have reached the age of normal human development, but the test results show that she actually grew to such a big age in an instant."

Speaking of this, MEI began to self-analyze unconsciously: "It stands to reason that the result of this accelerated ripening will lead to a decrease in the number of cell divisions, which is indirect short-lived, and it shouldn't last long (Misaka younger sister), but in fact she can live longer than ordinary people.”

"So what are you trying to say?"

No way, I still can't understand the words, it feels like I'm chatting with someone whose brain circuits are completely out of line.

"Do you know about clones?" Seeing Hua nodded after listening, MEI pointed to the sleeping Teresa: "She should be a clone of a certain child. Although she looks good and mentally old, she is the same as watching Appears to be about the same age as her peers; but in reality her age...maybe less than 2 years old."

"—I don't want to know this, I just want to know when will she wake up?"

"Her body has been adapting to the changes brought about by the gene fusion, and she will wake up when the fusion is complete."

"What time is it?"

"I don't know either. It could be tomorrow, it could be a month from now, it could be next year, it could be..."

—When we are gone.

For the rest, MEI didn't go on.

Without asking any questions, he clutched the report card and left without saying a word.

After waiting for a few minutes, MEI vaguely heard the 'bang' sound of a trash can being smashed.

Looking at the gate of the research institute which is obviously closed tightly but can still hear the sound from the outside, MEI came up with the idea that 'maybe the sound insulation is not enough'.

Looking back, I continued to write and draw while continuing to look at the child.

It's just that over time, people will lose their minds; when people lose their minds, they will do things that they may not even understand.

Mei quickly realized that he was distracted, but he still saw some strange content written on the note:

"Project Ark..."

Although I didn't actually participate in it, after all, the main research topic of MEI at that time was how to implant the Honkai beast's gene into the body as effectively as possible, so there was no in-depth research.

It wasn't until I thought about it at this time that I suddenly noticed that the implementation of this plan mainly relied on the research on human cloning.

After all, human cloning can be mass-produced compared to pure-bred human beings who die one less. If they can be strengthened on the basis of human cloning to produce more and more fearless clone warriors, maybe they don’t have to hesitate in making many decisions like they do now.

Because no matter how many people die, there will be no regrets.

Maybe this kid is—

MEI is not sure whether his guess is accurate, because there are some unexplainable problems in it.

That is--

Why was the child found in that city in the first place?

Why would her physique be just right for being a fusion fighter instead of a certain tendency?

And, there are no loopholes in the information about her birth information?

As if she was really the girl in the data.

Do not!

It may also be that the higher-ups deliberately made it for her to see.

But MEI couldn't understand why it took so much trouble to do this kind of thing, and it was obvious that the clones were just handed over to her. With her attitude at the time, she naturally didn't care what would happen to the 'soulless' clones.

And if she wanted to rely on this method to obtain the results of the Fusion Warrior Project—obviously, a large amount of investment was the right choice, but she only found one.

And the decision of the president (the man with glasses) on the fusion fighter plan——

It's really frustrating, MEI, who is not good at intrigue, gave up thinking about this kind of problem.

Leave those questions to others to worry about. Now MEI just wants to concentrate on research and explore the future or end of mankind.

039 "So... where is Mu Dalu?"

A bit of MEI was extracted, a solution in Teresa's stasis chamber.

She carefully dripped the needle on the thin section under the microscope (I can't remember what that thing is called), but was suddenly interrupted by a shaking at this moment, causing the needle held in her right hand to almost pierce her left hand.

The lights in the laboratory also flickered on and off, as if the power would be cut off at any time.

But it soon returned to normal.

"earthquake?"

If it's just a simple earthquake, it's okay, the anti-shock effect of the Fire Moth headquarters is still very good.

It's just an earthquake in the age of Herrschers...
