Collapse, but Stand users

Inside Canghai City, the Fifth Squad watched as Mebius soloed the [Judgment-level] Honkai Beast—Shesa.

"Snake Sister is amazing! Are all researchers this strong?" Pado exclaimed, watching Mebius utterly crush Shesa.

Others, undeniably, were wary of potential accidents.

However, things went quite smoothly, and Mebius returned with an undisputed victory.

"Hehe, then please take the body to my First Research Institute."

“Mebius, are you sure you want to become a Fusion Warrior?” Alicia said seriously.

"Oh? Alicia, are you questioning my skills? Do you think I can't succeed?"

"How could that be, my dear Möbius? I was just concerned about you."

"Why don't you practice on Alicia? Your chances of success might be higher," Yoshikage Kira interjected.

"We should be good friends, right, Yoshikage Kira?"

"You had this plan all along, didn't you?"

"Hmm~ Yoshikage Kira, you're quite adept at uncovering a girl's secrets."

After saying that, Alicia turned to Mebius.

"Then, Dr. Möbius, please use me as you see fit!"

"Hmph, a Herrscher, huh? Let's see what happens."

As a result, Alicia perfectly mastered the super-mutant factor of the [End-of-Days] Honkai Beast - Great Self-Existent Heaven.

If there's any impact, it's simply that Alicia's ears have become longer, making her look even prettier.

Möbius collected experimental data in preparation for his surgery.

Three days later, Mebius also underwent surgery to become a fusion warrior, performed by Mebius, Klein, and her former assistant Blanca.

Möbius's surgery was a success; it just looked like his eyes had turned into snake-like pupils.

However, because Mebius's reputation wasn't very good, and the skirts she usually wore completely covered her legs, coupled with the fact that Mebius had acquired a mode of transportation, some people speculated that Mebius's lower body had turned into a snake.

But Mebius herself didn't care. On the contrary, she was quite satisfied with Shesa's ability—the molting of a snake, where death only caused the body's physiological age to regress, which was close to her goal—immortality.

The appearance of three fusion warriors in succession gave the Firemoth quite a shock.

People marveled at the power of the Fusion Warriors, which greatly enhanced their fighting strength against the Honkai.

But humans are always afraid of powerful things. Many people are afraid of fusion warriors because if you fuse the genes of a Honkai Beast into your own body, then are you human or a Honkai Beast?

Opposition has existed since the Fusion Warriors program was first proposed, but it reached its peak when Mebius's stance was revealed.

An opposition has emerged within the Fire Moth faction, opposing the fusion of Honkai Beast genes to create non-human monsters.

In an effort to halt the Fusion Warrior project, the opposition dispatched a member of the Moth of Fire's assassination squad, "Poisonous Pupa"—"Forget-Me-Not," also known as Sakura—to conduct a super-mutant factor experiment on her.

After some time, Sakura successfully fused with the [Emperor-level] Honkai Beast - Yasha.

Looking at the long fox ears that had grown on her head in the mirror, Sakura's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Never mind, there's always a price to pay for gaining power."

"Then, it's time to go back and report."

......

With Sakura's return, the opposition is considering who to target.

Mebius? Mebius has also undergone super-transformation surgery, so his combat strength is unknown.

Then we can only consider other key players.

Ultimately, they turned their attention to Mei, an ordinary person who was essential to the Fusion Warrior program but lacked combat capabilities.

......

"Dr. Mei, you should take a few days off."

Mei raised her head and looked out the window. The leaves had lost their green color and were turning slightly yellow.

"Is it already autumn?"

Mei got up and began packing up her documents before leaving the research institute.

'Go find Kevin. Come to think of it, he's been deliberately avoiding me ever since he became a Fusion Warrior.'

At the Fifth Squad training ground, although the fusion warriors no longer needed training, Kevin still maintained strict discipline in himself.

"Excuse me, everyone, I'm here to see Kevin."

"Hey, Sister Mei's here! Brother Kevin, Sister Mei's here to see you!" Pado, who was sitting on a chair nearby enjoying the peaceful moment, called out to Kevin when she saw Mei arrive.

"Kevin, let's go on a date." Without beating around the bush, May directly invited Kevin.

After experiencing so much, Kevin began to be troubled by various factors, and he hesitated.

Yoshikage Kira pushed him.

"Go quickly, that's an order."

"Yes, Kevin, the girls are taking the initiative, so how can the boys hesitate?"

"Senior Kevin, go quickly."

Hearing everyone urging him on, Kevin scratched his head sheepishly and walked over to Mei's side.

"Then let's go, my princess."

Kevin made the same witty remarks as before, but his low body temperature prevented the two from getting as close as they used to be.

“There’s a lake nearby, let’s go boating there. There aren’t many people there, and the scenery is quite nice,” Mei suggested.

"Well, it's all up to you."
