Mobius turned her head toward Levi, her gaze sharp. She had just seemed to hear a sentence, "Use Honkai to fight Honkai."
It wasn't a question she had never considered, but compared to using the power of Honkai to fight Honkai, she was more inclined toward using the power of Honkai to make all of humanity evolve collectively.
Unfortunately, such a theory, placed inside Fire Moth, which regarded Honkai as humanity's enemy, had drawn hostility from many people.
But recently, after confirming that the Honkai had occurred, it might have originated from Elysia, because her appearance had caused many people to mistakenly believe that Mobius's experiment had succeeded.
They had all thrown money at her research institute to replenish its experimental funds.
Mobius had no intention of explaining anything about it and simply accepted everything without hesitation.
If they were giving it, she would take it. Who cared what it was for?
"Isn't using the power of so-and-so to defeat so-and-so a pretty normal way of thinking?"
Levi shrugged, and Mobius fell into thought.
It was indeed quite normal. Chuunibyou patients especially liked thinking about things this way.
Looking at him, Mobius guessed inwardly, 'Could there be a second organization besides Fire Moth that fights against Honkai?'
And its level of technology far surpassed that of Fire Moth.
Had it already reached the point where humans and Honkai could coexist?
They said nothing along the way.
Under Mobius's lead, the two passed through scattered researchers and soldiers and arrived at a pure white room.
Levi looked upward. The part near the ceiling changed from walls into glass, and he could also see several researchers holding notebooks and writing something.
"Are you going to have me undergo some kind of experiment?"
Levi thought about it. Mobius gestured for him to stay while she left the room herself.
Not long after, her voice came from all around.
"This is a place used for soldier training. It's just that it's still being tested. Although it's somewhat dangerous, it shouldn't be much of a challenge for you."
"Next…"
The space around him distorted. Seeing this, Levi suddenly thought of the place at St. Freya Academy used for Valkyrie examinations.
Roar!
Sure enough, in the next second, a purple-and-white Chariot-class Honkai beast appeared.
It raised its head and let out an angry roar.
"Kill it."
The moment Mobius's voice fell, Levi had already withdrawn his fist. The Honkai beast on the ground turned into scattered data and slowly disappeared.
He raised his head and smiled slightly at the window where Mobius was standing.
The other researchers weren't surprised at all. They only assumed that it was another modified human Mobius had made, and honestly recorded Levi's physical strength according to her earlier instructions.
Seeing this, Mobius smiled slightly as well. "Continue."
The next Honkai beast appeared again.
After some time, seeing that not a single Honkai beast could survive one punch from Levi, Mobius asked the researcher beside her how strong his body was.
"According to the data, he has reached the peak of Fire Moth's warriors."
"Only the peak?"
Mobius frowned. When had reaching the peak of Fire Moth's warriors become enough to kill one Honkai beast with one punch?
'Then how did so many people die before the First Honkai was dealt with?!'
"Uh, the data may also be accurate. The simulation chamber is still in the experimental stage, so there may be something wrong with the strength of the simulated Honkai beasts."
The researcher was sweating. He also didn't know why the visual effect of the instant kills was so overwhelming, while the data only showed that Levi had reached the peak of a warrior.
He could only attribute all of this to the simulation chamber still being in its experimental stage.
Mobius opened her mouth, but before she could speak, a commotion came from the end of the corridor.
"Hmm?"
Levi sensed something and raised his head toward the direction of the commotion.
A researcher's scream exploded beside Mobius's ears.
"There's an assassin!"
At the same time, Levi also noticed a pink-haired woman quickly passing by the window, and directly in front of her…
His gaze shifted, and he saw the green-haired researcher with a bird's-nest-like hairstyle on top of her head.
'Mobius!'
His eyes narrowed. The temperature of the simulation chamber instantly became abnormal, but at this point, no one was going to care about that anymore.
Many people dropped whatever they were holding and ran toward the emergency exit.
The soldiers, meanwhile, wanted to stop the assassin from advancing.
But in the next second, the assassin's blade swept across everyone's necks at extremely tricky angles, leaving shallow red lines.
One body after another fell, and Mobius seemed to have been frightened by this scene, standing there blankly without moving.
The assassin gave her a brief glance and was about to go around her when the glass beside them suddenly shattered.
A fist shot straight toward the assassin's face.
But the other party reacted in time and nimbly dodged it. Looking at Levi standing in front of Mobius, the assassin raised the blade in her hand.
The next second, she swung her blade and cut open the ventilation opening above her head, climbed inside, and disappeared.
Seeing this, Mobius slowly put away the syringe hidden in her sleeve, glanced at the shattered glass, then walked past Levi and explained the situation to the soldiers who had rushed over to provide support.
After leaving the building, Levi explained what he had just done. "As someone who practices martial arts, breaking a piece of glass shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No problem, of course there's no problem." Mobius nodded, without telling him that the strength of that glass was enough to withstand missiles.
And glass that could withstand missiles couldn't even take one punch from Levi.
If this was the peak of Fire Moth's soldiers, then she really ought to wonder whether Fire Moth had secretly begun human experiments behind her back.
'Whose soldier has a punch more powerful than a missile?'
'Captain America?'
As they walked, Mobius suddenly stopped, turned around, and held out her hand toward him.
Levi was confused by her action. "This is…"
"Let's formally introduce ourselves. Mobius, director of the First Research Institute."
Hearing this, Levi was stunned, then smiled. "Levi, unemployed."
"…"
"…"
The two stared at each other for a long while. In the end, Mobius couldn't take it anymore and spoke first, her voice carrying a slight trace of annoyance. "How long are you going to hold it?"
Holding hands was one thing, but he kept giving her hand an occasional squeeze. What did he think she was?
After letting go, Mobius glared at him. No wonder he was someone Elysia had brought over.
When it came to shamelessness, he was just as bad as her.
After hearing this, Levi remained silent.
He silently opened the chat group.
[@Elysia, what did you do?]
"?"
"What did I do?"
Seeing the message Levi had sent her, Elysia's little face was full of confusion.
Why was this guy suddenly asking what she had done? If he didn't tell her what was going on, how would she know what she had done?
Not knowing what she had done, Elysia could only tell him what she was doing right now.
[Training new recruits.]
Although she was also a new recruit herself, she had overwhelming strength on her side.
[Mobius cursed me for being shameless… She cursed me for being as shameless as you.]
'Cursed Levi for being shameless?!'
[What did you do?]
Now it was Elysia's turn to ask Levi what he had done.
A doctor generally didn't curse people without reason.
If she disliked someone, she would only quietly tie that person to the operating table.
What on earth had he done to make the doctor break her usual rules and curse someone?
But Levi wasn't planning to answer immediately. [Right now, I'm the one asking you the questions. Come clean. What did you do to get Mobius to call you shameless?]
[I didn't get called shameless.]
As an honest person, Elysia didn't remember ever being called shameless by Mobius.
Elysia stroked her chin and thought. 'Could it be because I teased her yesterday?'
'That was purely an accident, okay?'
Who knew what had gotten into her at the time.
