Theresa swayed.
As if she wasn't used to the new body, she leaned forward and fell face-first onto the ground.
"Ow! That hurts like hell!"
Climbing up from the ground, Theresa rubbed her reddened nose, turning her head left and right as if trying to get used to her new body.
From time to time, she repeated the motion of clenching her fist, and finally pressed her palm against Judah, frowning.
Looking at the Judah in front of her, she said with dissatisfaction, "Be honest, have you been acting all this time?!"
How is it that when Levi uses it, he can cover the entire Nagazora City, but when she uses it, it's no different from usual?
Not only that, she felt that the strength of her body couldn't reach the same level as Levi either.
Holding Judah, one strike from him wipes out a whole group of Honkai beasts.
This part Theresa didn't really mind, since that was Levi's power, not her own.
She wouldn't envy or be jealous of someone else's strength.
But Judah was different.
The Divine Grace Barrier it deployed, compared to the one she deployed...
just in terms of coverage alone, they were clearly not on the same level.
They were using the exact same weapon, so why was there such a huge difference in power?
'This makes no sense!'
The only explanation was that Judah had never shown its true strength to her or to its previous users.
"Judah, just how much power are you hiding…"
Judah felt completely wronged. It just got a powerful buff, how did that turn into it hiding its strength?
Theresa didn't dig too deeply into Judah's power. After all, Judah was always by her side, so there would be plenty of time to explore it slowly.
After sitting steadily in place, Theresa looked toward Himeko. "How does your body feel?"
'I was about to ask you that, you looked so uncoordinated just now…'
Himeko moved her arms and replied, "Much better. My body doesn't feel as heavy as before, and…"
She opened her palm, and a flame suddenly appeared.
"I've also gained the power to control fire."
This was clearly the power brought by the Yae Sakura stigmata. Theresa nodded.
Watching Himeko retract the flame, she suddenly realized she hadn't asked what had happened to Yae Sakura.
She wasn't Himeko. She wouldn't treat Levi's words as mere comfort.
Half-dead? Not completely dead?
That clearly meant Yae Sakura hadn't fully died, and the matter he asked Himeko to handle was probably related to this.
"Mysterious guy."
Theresa muttered softly, glancing at the dark red longsword placed beside her.
He hadn't taken that thing away yet, so he would definitely come back. When he did, she would ask him what exactly was going on with Yae Sakura.
She'd treat it as something she was doing for Himeko.
"Riddle-speaker! Leaving without even explaining things clearly!"
"Ah-choo!"
Levi rubbed his nose and didn't pay it any attention.
He quickly walked to a place that looked like a plaza.
Looking at the system interface in front of him, he tapped to claim the reward on the mission.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained: Fusion Warrior…]
Levi suddenly stood up, but after seeing clearly what it was, he showed a disappointed expression and sat back down.
[Fusion Warrior Exclusive Honkai Beast Gene]
[Description: Originates from a certain incomplete Fusion Warrior. Can fuse with human genes at a 100% success rate!]
[Note: Side effects unknown!]
[Note: Requires ultra-precise surgery to fuse! (Extremely high risk!!!)]
"This is a good item…"
What kind of concept is a Honkai beast gene that can fuse with humans at 100% success?
If Mobius knew about this, she'd probably come crying and begging him for it.
She might even agree to all his demands to learn various kinds of knowledge.
"The only unfortunate part is that it can't be used directly…"
Levi looked disappointed.
It needed to be combined with Fusion Warrior surgery to be integrated into the body.
Since the system specifically pointed it out, the method of fusion was probably only possible through Mobius.
But right now, they had only just established the MOTH organization. By the time Mobius develops Fusion Warrior technology,
he'd probably already be invincible.
"But if it already has a 100% fusion success rate, why is it still marked as 'extremely dangerous surgery'?"
[Ding! Successful fusion ≠ successful surgery!]
A Fusion Warrior needs to retain humanity while possessing the immense power of Honkai.
If one only gains power but loses humanity, then the surgery is considered a failure.
"So there's still a certain level of danger, right?"
The system didn't respond, which was basically an acknowledgment.
After looking at the system interface again and considering the unknown side effects, Levi shook his head and decisively stored the item away.
He had no intention of taking such a risk to fuse with a gene that had unknown side effects.
"Elysia Forever!"
"?"
The sudden shout made Levi's eyes widen slightly as he looked toward the direction of the sound.
"Holy shit!"
Levi was shocked and couldn't help but @ the leader of their Elysia group in the chat.
[Levi: @Elysia, you've become the leader of a cult!]
[Elysia: ???]
Elysia, who was training, sent a string of question marks.
Levi didn't say much and directly sent a freshly taken photo.
In the photo were countless young men and women dressed in strange outfits. They held pink books in their arms, with eerie smiles on their faces that sent chills down the spine.
They were approaching anyone who wasn't dressed like them.
Muttering under their breath.
[Levi: Friend, do you mind sparing a minute of your time? I'd like you to meet our Heavenly Mother and Savior
[Levi: Elysia.]
[Elysia: …]
[Levi: That's exactly what they said word for word when they tried to recruit me! I thought I accidentally wandered into some "simple and honest" Innsmouth town!]
Hearing that and seeing the strange smile on the other person's face, Levi almost couldn't stop himself from slashing them across the head.
[Levi: That was terrifying! I feel like I need to run away to another Xianzhou to live!]
Elysia didn't know what to say.
How did she end up becoming the leader of a cult in another world for no reason?
She hadn't even done anything…
No! To be precise, she had done nothing! The one doing everything had always been Levi!
He just used her appearance.
So all of this should be blamed on Levi!
[Elysia: Figure out a way to deal with it. I'm a person, I don't want to be some kind of deity…]
[Elysia: And I definitely don't want to be an evil god!]
After a while, Levi replied in the chat.
[Levi: Not easy to deal with…]
[Elysia: With your ability, it's impossible for it to be hard! Please please~ I'm still waiting to go have fun on the Luofu!]
Levi showed his entry certificate.
[Levi: I'm one of them now. You want me to attack my own people?]
Seeing the so-called entry certificate in his hand, Elysia fell silent for a moment.
He had just said he was scared and wanted to move away, and then immediately joined this obviously suspicious group.
Elysia took out her phone.
"So speechless, guys. I ran into a total creep today…"
After editing, she hit post.
She had just put down her phone when a notification sounded... someone had commented.
[Mobius: ? Who?]
Elysia replied to Mobius: [That guy from a few days ago… seriously disgusting!]
"That guy from a few days ago…"
Mobius put down her phone, her eyes flashing with a chilling light.
After replying to Mobius, Elysia cheerfully replied to Levi in the group.
[Elysia: I originally wanted to interact with you as a normal person, but since you're like this, I won't pretend anymore…]
[Elysia: Since you've seen Elysia, why aren't you kneeling!]
"…"
"Guys, I ran into a total creep girl…"
