Collapse, but Stand users

After the party, someone contacted you.

Looking at the familiar conference room door, you push it open and go inside.

At the meeting, everyone praised your achievement in defeating the Herrscher of Thunder.

After the initial praise, everyone's true intentions were revealed, and they began discussing who should be the core members of the Herrscher.

"I can give you the Herrscher Core if you want."

"But I have conditions."

"I want her."

As you speak, you point to Mebius.

Silence is the word in tonight's parliament.

Möbius rested his head on his hand, watching you with interest.

Of course, you mean you want Möbius to develop his career on Twilight Street.

Perhaps out of concern for the danger posed by Mebius, or perhaps out of fear that you wield too much power, everyone started passing the buck and didn't agree to your request.

Of course, you're just trying it out. Your real goal is DIO's skull.

[Demanding a skull directly might be met with disagreement, but comparing Möbius to a skull...]

[Then let's just discard the skull.]

[Considering the lack of progress in skull research, and given that you are now a member of the Moth of Flames, and you're not going to eat the skull anyway, Mebius agrees to exchange the skull for the Herrscher Core.]

"By the way, why are you so obsessed with skulls?"

"I accidentally obtained a piece of parchment, and according to the guidance on it, the skull you possess is a necessary condition to guide mankind to heaven."

Father Pucci's words left Möbius stunned. Möbius said, "If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to come up with such an outrageous reason."

“Mebius, I was not lying.”

"Yes Yes Yes."

"We're here, let's go in."

Father Pucci followed Mebius into her research institute, and then they came to a door that looked quite unusual.

"Just a heads up, if you're not mentally strong, don't go in."

"Oh? If you put it that way, then I'll have to go in and take a look."

"Hehe, whatever you want."

Mebius opened the door and walked forward without waiting for Father Pucci.

The space behind the door was vast, and what came into view were countless glass petri dishes.

The petri dish contained Honkai Beasts, humans, and hybrids of humans and Honkai Beasts.

“Father Pucci, what are your thoughts on seeing these things?”

Mebius turned around, a signature dangerous smile on his face.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Father Pucci's reply, Mebius's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

"The way human evolution looks is beautiful, isn't it?"

"What I'm seeking is also evolution."

"At the end of that evolution, I will become—a god."

"Give me the skull, Mebius."

"I will show you the pinnacle of human evolution."

Mebius nodded, turned around and continued walking, leading Father Pucci to retrieve DIO's skull.

But what she didn't even notice was that the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"You and I are the same kind of people."

"They're all crazy."

Mebius handed the skull to Father Pucci, saying something.

"In this era, you can't accomplish great things without being crazy."

Father Pucci responded and took the skull.

Father Pucci opened the door and was about to leave when he heard Mebius's voice behind him.

"Don't forget, let me see what you look like when you've evolved to your full potential."

Father Pucci smiled and said without turning his head, "I'll be waiting for you at the end of evolution, Möbius."

......

After obtaining DIO's skull, you delivered the Herrscher Core to Moth of Flame as promised.

Although you knew the time wasn't right, you still couldn't wait to recite fourteen "secret words" to the skull.

The skull, unsurprisingly, did not react.

Strangely enough, when you touch your skull, you can feel a surge of life energy.

"I will find you 36 souls of the most heinous sinners," you whispered, stroking DIO's skull.

At this point, one of the necessary conditions has been met.
