Chapter 185: "Eternal Flower" for Vill-V

[You woke up and even returned to everyone's sight with an intact body. This should be something worth celebrating, but everyone looked at you with a hint of... weirdness.]

[Because your condition is too strange, you have no body temperature, no heartbeat, and even... you don't even have the so-called "flesh and blood".]

[With the joint efforts of Mobius and Vill-V, your body is in a very strange state... The cells are combined with "Originium", and then a large amount of "Soulium" is added to it.]

[Although if you cut open your body, you can see organs such as internal organs, but those are all "fake" and are things you have drawn. Even your "blood" is no longer bright red, but an energy liquid mixed with "Originium" and "Soulium".]

[In a sense, you can even be regarded as a "robot", but human cells can be analyzed from your body.]

[It seems not quite right to say that you are a human, because you have lost your heartbeat and body temperature, and even your inner self has completely lost its human shape, including your skin and your appearance, which are all outlined by a strange substance.]

[Even your clothes are the same. The clothes you wear are drawn and painted by yourself, just like the shell of the Honkai beast... No, this description seems a bit exaggerated, but some people do think so.]

[If you say you are a robot, that doesn't seem quite right, because human cells can indeed be found in you, but they are combined with "Originium" and "Soulium" to become something incomprehensible... If you say you are a Honkai creature, that is even more unreasonable.]

[So from now on, most people will regard you as... a "monster", a man-made "monster".]

[Just like the legendary Frankenstein, and the people who caused all this are Mobius and Vill-V... Everyone also regards you as the "Frankenstein" they created.]

[Especially according to subsequent tests, you seem to be able to resonate with "Originium", and even control "Originium" to some extent, and people's views on you have become more fixed.]

[Although according to calculations, your ability should be derived from the Honkai Beast "Sariel" that you fused. After all, it was born from "Originium", including the dust spread when the butterfly wings flap also belongs to "Originium". It seems normal that you have gained some of its abilities because of this.]

[But... others don't care about that. They just think you are a "monster" born from the original body, a being that looks like a human but is not. It can be said that the overall atmosphere of the "Fire Moth" is not very friendly to you, and their attitude towards Mobius and Vill-V has become bad.]

[In the eyes of others, they defiled the body of you, a noble warrior and doctor who sacrificed his life to fight the Honkai, turning you from a martyr into a "monster"... This makes them feel unhappy and even angry.]

[However, people who are familiar with you don't care about these things… Not to mention Mobius, who has maintained a "bad reputation" for many years and has long been accustomed to those rumors, so it doesn't matter if they are a little more serious.]

[Now Mobius only cares about you. You, the "guinea pig" recognized by her, have once again proved to her your uniqueness. At the same time, your existence has also convinced her that her direction is not wrong. She has indeed made life "evolve".]

[She successfully conquered "death" once in your body. How could she not be happy?]

[Because of this, Mobius likes you even more. She likes to run to your side and touch you all over, touching you here and there, and even calls it a beautiful excuse: check if you are healthy?]

[And Vill-V doesn't really care about what other people say. After being in the "Fire Moth" for a long time, she has become accustomed to other people's misunderstandings, and she is too lazy to explain to others... As long as you survive successfully, it's fine.]

[Eden, Sakura, Griseo, and Rosemary also have similar attitudes. They don't really care what happens to you, as long as they can feel that you are still you. They are happy and relieved for your awakening.]

[The only thing that made Griseo and Rosemary feel pity was that you no longer had any body temperature. You were cold, just like metal (this statement was not wrong, actually). The two little guys were somewhat uncomfortable when they squeezed into your arms.]

[However, this problem was later solved through your joint research with Vill-V and Mobius. Using some special methods to heat your body, you can simulate human body temperature and heartbeat... You can even adjust the temperature if necessary.]

[In the end, the two little girls treated you as a human heater. When the weather gets cold, they like to rest next to you...]

[However, even if you become more and more like a "human" through your subsequent efforts, other people's attitudes towards you is still a little strange. After all... no matter what, you are a person who is neither human nor human. It is difficult for others to change their mind after labeling you as such.]

[It was just that afterward, everyone had to start accepting you again... If you were to ask why, it was because your combat power was too terrifying, and sometimes you could even solve an Honkai Impact alone.]

[Well... this is only natural. After all, your current body is the masterpiece of Mobius and Vill-V. Not only does it contain the Honkai Beast genes fused in by Mobius, but it also contains the Originium and "Soulium" researched by Vill-V.]

[In addition, in order to adapt to the current you, Vill-V remade a "box", and Vill-V named it "Nozomi's exclusive rescue knights leader's special weapon? Type 2" (but this name was rejected by you again).]

[This new "box" is free of a lot of the previous weight because of technological advancement and changes in your body, so more additional designs have been added. Therefore, in terms of equipment, you can also be said to be ahead of everyone else in "Fire Moth".]

[With all these factors combined, it would be strange if your combat power wasn't exaggerated.]

[For this reason, everyone gradually began to accept you... No matter what, on the battlefield, a strong comrade who can fight side by side is always worth making friends with. Even if they regard you as a "monster", under the huge pressure of Honkai, they are reluctantly willing to acknowledge you.]

[Especially after the outbreak of the "Seventh Great Eruption", you rushed into the flames carrying the "Box", using only your hands as a knife to pass through the scorching temperature and the terrifying flames. You pierced through the body of the "Seventh Herrscher" with one hand, grabbed the "Herrscher Core" in its body, and pulled it out slightly roughly.]

[Immediately, the power of the "Seventh Herrscher" began to dissipate rapidly, and its body, which had lost its "Herrscher Core", began to crumble... But at this moment, you did something that no one could understand.]

[You looked hesitant and reluctant, but in the end, you still reached out your hand and gently touched the center of its forehead... Then, the crystals spread, wrapped around its body, and finally... shattered and turned into debris.]

[Just like that, "Fire Moth" lost a "Herrscher" body that could be used for research... Everyone found it hard to understand. Not only "Fire Moth", but even Mobius couldn't help complaining about why you wasted such a good experimental subject... If you continue like this, you will no longer be her favorite "guinea pig".]

[Your answer to this is that you want to give her "liberation".]

[This is a very strange answer, "liberation"? Why should the "Herrscher" be liberated? Most people do not understand your weird answer and strange thoughts, and it also slightly aggravates others' misunderstanding of you... They increasingly feel that you are a "monster" that is neither human nor inhuman.]

[However, among the people who find it difficult to understand, Elysia is very happy. She thinks you are still you, still so kind, and still value life so much, even when facing the "Herrscher". You... are still the "Doctor".]

[But Mobius doesn't think so... because she thinks that the "she" you are talking about and the "it" others are talking about... are not the same person.]

[After asking you, Mobius got the answer - the one you are referring to is the original identity of the "Seventh Herrscher", Himeko.]

[The one you want to give "liberation" to is Himeko, not the "Seventh Herrscher".]

[This answer made Mobius fall into shock, and then she was ecstatic... because she seemed to have made a more interesting discovery.]

[For example, how do you know that Himeko's consciousness still exists? According to the previous "Herrschers", after the birth of each "Herrscher", the original consciousness of the body will quickly disappear. At least, there has never been any observation of the body's own consciousness and the "Herrschers" fighting for the body.]

[Secondly, why did you give Himeko "liberation"? Why did you kill her and destroy her body in that way? Is this the "liberation" you are talking about?]

[All kinds of questions came to her mind, and Mobius once again aroused her desire to study you... She always felt that she was about to get a glimpse of your true power.]

[Sure enough, you are her favorite "guinea pig"!]

[Unfortunately... the order from the "Fire Moth" interrupted her plan.]

[After seeing the powerful force you brought, "Fire Moth" asked Mobius and Vill-V to provide more detailed data and content of the "treatment plan" for you.]

[Therefore, Vill-V's "Soulium" was widely used as a new material for weapons. At the same time, due to the convenience of its nanorobots, it began to be widely used inside the "Fire Moth".]

[At the same time, the fusion surgery that Mobius performed on you was reorganized into the "Fusion Warrior Project" and submitted to the "Fire Moth" after the data and information were sorted out.]

[Considering the powerful fighting ability you have shown, "Fire Moth" agreed to this plan and tried to implement it... Afterwards, Kevin and Elysia successively became fusion warriors.]

[Of course, unlike you, Kevin and Elysia's bodies do not contain any "Originium" or "Soulium"... This is understandable, after all, their situations are not as special as yours.]

[Afterwards, because she found an Honkai beast that was very suitable for her, Mobius started to operate on her own fusion warrior again... After all this, she didn't set her sights on you.]

[At the same time, you are still in Vill-V's "Spiral Workshop", admiring her so-called new magic while listening to her random designs.]

[Because of your own characteristics, Vill-V has become more bold in designing the "Box", and because there is no need to consider the weight (after all, you can be said to be both a Superman and a robot now), Vill-V can freely modify many of the "Boxes".]

[To give a simple example... Vill-V has considered designing the entire "box" into a large electromagnetic cannon, so that you can carry the "box" and directly bombard the "Herrscher" remotely. If the energy is sufficient, it can directly hit the sky from the ground, and it is not impossible to shoot down a satellite.]

[Because of this outrageous idea, Vill-V was hit on the head by you.]

[Then Vill-V planned to improve it a little bit and turn it into a large lightsaber so that you can use the "box" as a "ship-slashing sword" to easily split large Honkai beasts~ Then do a sweep of thousands of troops, and maybe a Honkai will be resolved just like that?]

[Well, you don't know if you can solve the Honkai, but you only know that if you really do this... the surrounding buildings and environment will definitely be destroyed by your sword.]

[So you gently hit Vill-V's head again, asking her to think of a more reliable design.]

[Since this "big and good" design concept has been rejected by you, Vill-V will have no choice but to continue to use her "specialties" to develop the "box" in a multifunctional direction... As it happens, the new "box" is made of "Soulium" as a whole, so let's give full play to the characteristics of "Soulium" as a nanorobot.]

[Seeing that Vill-V's design has finally returned to a slightly normal direction, you also breathed a sigh of relief. After watching Vill-V perform the last magic trick for you, you also applauded and cheered for her... Unfortunately, you don't seem to have brought flowers.]

[Vill-V also noticed this, so she came close to you, rubbed your arm in a slightly intimate, yet slightly funny and teasing way, asking you, the only audience, not to give her, an excellent performer, some appreciation?]

[She received applause and cheers, so he should also give some flowers as a thank you gift, right? Even just one flower would be fine, right?]

[Although you know that Vill-V is teasing you, you can only smile helplessly, saying that you can't possibly conjure a flower for her out of thin air, right? You are different from Vill-V, you haven't learned any magic...]

[Hiss…huh?]

[You tilted your head, and suddenly thought of something.]

[Conjure up a flower?... It seems like you can do it.]

[For this, you chuckled and told Vill-V that you wanted to perform a magic trick for her, a very simple magic trick.]

[Vill-V naturally agreed to this, and she felt honored to be the first audience of your first magic show.]

[Immediately, you put your hand in front of her, with your palm open to her.]

[Then, accompanied by the sound of crystals colliding, a flower made of crystals slowly grows and blooms in the palm of your hand.]

[As I said before, after the surgery, after becoming a special being, you have a certain control over the Originium, and your body is also made up of Originium and Soulium.]

[So... this unknown flower is made up of the "Originium" part of your body.]

[Plus your uniqueness... I can say that this flower is a part of your body.]

[You understand this, and so does Vill-V.]

[But you still plucked this nameless everlasting flower from your palm and presented it to Vill-V.]

[Vill-V was stunned for a long time, but finally accepted it carefully and made a container to store it...]

[Then, Vill-V added a small function to your "box".]

[As long as you enter a special command, the top of the "box" will "pop!" and a beautiful little flower will bloom.]

[And since then, this strange little design has been retained in most of Vill-V's works.]

[It can be seen that she really likes that flower.]
