After questioning Sakura for a while.
Shiro stared at Sakura with interest and said slowly,
“Mei, how do you plan to handle this?”
Shiro did not immediately offer his own suggestion to Mei, instead handing the decision-making power over to her.
After a long silence, Mei did not make a choice right away.
Sakura also cast her gaze upon her, not thinking of escaping, but waiting for the impending judgment.
In the difficult silence.
Mei finally spoke.
“I don’t intend to deal with Sakura severely; she is just a blade.
The ones who truly need to be held accountable are those Higher-ups who targeted me.”
The purple-haired beauty had considered it clearly, not allowing herself to be influenced by the emotions brought about by the situation.
Compared to angrily destroying this blade, it was better to think about holding this blade in her own hand.
This was the correct mindset of a superior.
Clearly, Mei was such a person.
Hearing that she actually had a way out, Sakura’s eyes flickered slightly, a clear look of surprise appearing…
[You helped capture Sakura, crushing the Higher-ups’ plan against Mei.]
[You handed the choice of how to handle it to Mei.]
[Unsurprisingly, Mei chose to spare Sakura and persuaded her to join your side.]
[This made you even more certain that Mei is the candidate you need.]
[Because next, you want to completely unify the Flame-Chasers.]
[But you are also very self-aware; although you can use Aponia’s power to unify the Flame-Chasers effortlessly,]
[even for Aponia after becoming a MANTIS, her Discipline can only allow you to control the Higher-ups.]
[It cannot make you, who was originally just an ordinary college student and only gained decades of experience through simulations, leap into becoming an excellent leader who guides human civilization forward.]
[Therefore, you thought of the Mei from the original timeline’s Previous Era.]
[In the Late Stage of the Honkai outbreak, human civilization was teetering on the brink, but Mei took up the mantle at that time, leading the Flame-Chasers to contend with the Honkai amidst that infinite despair.]
[As for Mobius and Vill-V, who are also at the pinnacle of human intelligence, you immediately eliminated them as leadership candidates after just a thought.]
[Because you neither want to see the Flame-Chasers turn into an evil research organization, nor do you want the Flame-Chasers to go bankrupt due to too many flashy and impractical projects before the Finality even arrives.]
[As for Elysia, she is more suitable than those two scientists.]
[After all, in terms of discerning good and evil in the human heart, even you feel inferior to Elysia.]
[But knowing Elysia’s personality, you also know that the moment she becomes the leader, the pink-haired girl might issue an order at lightning speed to transfer the position to Mei or you.]
[Ultimately, the one most suited for the leader’s position and who puts you most at ease is indeed Mei.]
[Of course, you won’t pile all the burdens on Mei.]
[After all, you know that the reason Mei died on the day the Finality arrived in the original timeline]
[was precisely due to the excessive use of the key of blank and the double pressure of leading the Flame-Chasers during the apocalypse.]
[You will help Mei share some of the duties; this is both helping Mei and a great opportunity for you.]
[If the Talents given to you by the simulator are your first big cheat, then being able to use the countless extra hours in the simulator to work hard is your second big cheat.] This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.
[You don’t think it’s shameful to learn from your student as a teacher.]
[To be able to follow the pinnacle of human intelligence and learn how to be an excellent leader is a rare and precious opportunity.]
[Under your guidance, and combined with her own desire not to let humanity’s inherent strength fall into internal strife,]
[Mei began her political power layout within the Flame-Chasers, deciding to intervene in internal power struggles to ensure that when you use Discipline to force unification, the Flame-Chasers can still operate normally.]
[Half a year later.]
[You integrated Honkai Beast factors and used Imaginary Energy as a guide to help Mobius and Mei refine project stigma seed further.]
[At the same time, this meant that the first MANTIS of the Flame-Chasers was about to be born.]
“Father, you are truly surprising.
I didn’t expect the progress to improve so much.
I finally understand why that little girl Mei is so obsessed with you.”
In the laboratory, Mobius looked at the results before her in amazement.
Originally, according to her estimates, it would have taken a long time to truly realize the MANTIS technology.
Now, all the theoretical construction has been completed.
And this was all thanks to Shiro’s help.
“For me, this is using the answer to reverse-engineer the process.”
Shiro shook his head and said.
“Then without further ado, let’s begin now.
I can’t wait to taste this fellow’s ability.”
Mobius looked excitedly at the experimental capsule behind her, where the heart of the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Saha, was still beating powerfully.
And this heartbeat also manifested the fact that even with only one heart left, Saha was still not dead!
Such amazing immortality was truly too attractive to Mobius, while Shiro shook his head helplessly.
A while ago, Saha’s heart even began to regenerate a body.
If he hadn’t discovered it in time and destroyed it back down to the level of only half a heart, this entire Flame-Chasers base might have been destroyed by the reborn Judgment-class Honkai Beast.
At that time, the first one to die would definitely have been Mobius, since she was the closest.
“Calm down, Mobius.
We have currently only completed the theoretically feasible steps.
The risk of you trying it directly is too great.
I won’t allow it.
Use someone else.”
“Heh, who else could it be?
Father, not everyone can survive the Super Transformation Surgery.”
Mobius said disdainfully.
The next second, she cast a playful look at the young man before her and said slowly,
“Also, this is double-standard behavior.
Does the life of others not count as a life in the eyes of our Great Hero?”
“That’s not it, Mobius.”
Shiro shook his head expressionlessly.
He looked directly into Mobius’s eyes and said bluntly,
“It’s simply that you are more important to me.”
“What?”
“Everyone’s life is equal, but to me personally, you are more important.
Although this may sound heartless, compared to outsiders, I cherish the lives of those important to me more.”
Shiro also had his selfishness; rather, he had always been the kind of person with strong personal biases.
He didn’t care if outsiders accused him of hypocrisy, as that was also one of human nature’s traits.
Mobius’s brain stalled for a good while, then she directly turned her head away from Shiro.
“Don’t let others hear what you just said, or our Great Hero’s reputation will be damaged.”
“But you’re right, performing the surgery directly like this does carry no small risk.
Let’s recruit some volunteers first and see who’s willing to be a guinea pig.”
Shiro looked at Mobius, who was a bit shy after being hit by his direct pitch, and was slightly dazed.
After all, the shy look of a certain Mobius was truly alluring.
Of course, even while dazed, he didn’t forget the business at hand.
“No need to recruit volunteers.
I don’t think anyone is more suitable for this first Super Transformation Surgery than me.”
Of course, Shiro excluded Elysia, the born Herrscher.
Now it was Mobius’s turn to be unwilling.
But she had no way to persuade Shiro.
After all, the green-haired older sister figure knew clearly that the young man before her could manually craft fragmented clearances belonging to Herrschers.
If even he couldn’t pass the Super Transformation Surgery, then no one could succeed.
Ultimately, Mobius agreed to perform the surgery, but it was to be completed by the three top scientists of the Flame-Chasers together.
Lying on the operating table, Shiro’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch as he faced the onlookers.
Not to mention Cangxuan, Danzhu, and Klein, who were acting as surgical assistants.
Mei was also responsible for project stigma seed, so calling her over was understandable.
But why was Vill-V also there?
Wasn’t she mainly responsible for the Divine Keys?
In the face of Shiro’s questioning and complaints.
Still full of resentment over the young man’s insistence on undergoing the Super Transformation Surgery himself, Mobius spoke coldly:
“Just in case.”
Looking at the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted Mobius, Shiro tactfully shut his mouth.
As Mobius and the other scientists performed a series of operations, Shiro’s consciousness was soon cut off, and he fell into a deep coma.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
