NFBE Chapter 61 The fusion surgery was successful... or so?
Chapter 61 The fusion surgery was successful... or so?
"..."
"..."
A chaotic and noisy sound rang in my ears, as if a viscous liquid was enveloping me. In the ebb and flow, I vaguely felt proof of my own "existence," but I could not escape this drowsy mystery.
Then let us wallow in it.
Breathing is like the tide, rising and falling, sometimes suffocating and sometimes refreshing.
Consciousness is like duckweed, rising and falling, its whereabouts unknown.
"...He...wak up..."
"But...signs of life..."
As if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his face, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the dim ceiling.
A mechanical voice sounded, reporting its vital signs. Soon after, footsteps approached, and Möbius's voice rang out: "Are you awake?"
Her face appeared above the hibernation pod, waving at me: "Can you see me? Do you remember who I am?"
“…Dr. Möbius…”
"Hmm, looks like his brain isn't completely broken."
Mebius was clearly happy to see this, his lips unconsciously curving into a smile, but his speech was still quite unpleasant.
A short while later, Klein also rushed in and checked his vital signs with Möbius. After discussing for a while (Möbius mainly spoke and Klein listened), the hibernation pod was opened.
Klein nudged him from behind to sit up, then pulled out a notebook and asked him a bunch of silly questions to check if he was conscious. Meanwhile, Möbius pinched his cheeks, flipped his eyelids, tugged at his hair... all sorts of physical contact.
Finally, as if everything was going smoothly, Mebius said, "Congratulations, you have become the first successful case of participating in fusion surgery."
Yun Fuyu gradually regained consciousness and asked weakly, "Doctor, could you please explain in more detail?"
Mebius grunted in agreement, handed him a bottle of high-concentration Honkai energy and a straw, and said while looking at the panel on the projection screen, "The impact on consciousness is very shallow. It's just that the prolonged coma has caused some discomfort. There are no special side effects on the body, but there is a certain dependence on Honkai energy. The Honkai energy in the body needs to be maintained at more than 40% of the Honkai energy adaptability (control) to function normally."
"The Honkai energy adaptability has been significantly improved. Before the operation, it was 650HW, and after the operation, it increased to 2200HW, which has exceeded the standard for the birth of a Herrscher, but there was no core or anything like that."
"Honkai energy resistance is almost infinitely high, and like Honkai Beasts, it will not be subject to Honkai energy erosion or Honkai disease."
"..."
"Finally, the strength characteristics are not yet clear and require further observation."
Mebius was speaking both to him and to herself to organize her thoughts. After speaking, she instructed Yun Fuyu to replenish her energy with the bottle of high-concentration Honkai energy, and then continue to observe his performance.
After absorbing the Honkai energy, Yun Fuyu was noticeably more energetic... Seriously, isn't this just plain crazy?
Seeing that Yun Fuyu's body was normal and his consciousness was intact, Mebius breathed a sigh of relief. He almost couldn't resist the urge to punch her, but in the end, he gave Klein's head a good rub before announcing that the surgery was a success.
His condition still needs to be monitored, but he can leave now without worry.
Afterwards, Yun Fuyu dressed and, showing obvious signs of weakness, slowly returned to her dormitory.
Since Xi'er, who lived across the hall, wasn't home, Yun Fuyu went back to her room and lay on the bed, lost in thought.
I'm not tired or sleepy, but I'm exhausted and need some time to adjust.
Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep again.
……
The stars swayed, the shallow water was still, and everything felt ethereal and dreamlike, as if I were omnipotent.
Seele arrived as promised, standing barefoot in front of him, bending down to ask how he was feeling.
"...It's okay, I just feel a little confused."
Yun Fuyu forced herself to look away and extended her hand to Xier: "Sit down and let's talk."
In the virtual world, a large sofa appeared out of thin air. Seele accepted the invitation and sat down next to him, comfortably rubbing against the soft backrest. She lay back in a very relaxed posture and listened attentively.
Yun Fuyu repeated what Möbius had said before, then added, "Although the power increase is significant, it was all within expectations. Now there are still two problems—"
"First, fusion surgery is still in its early stages, but I fused with the genes of the Great Free Heaven with almost no side effects. I wonder if it's because our fates are intertwined."
"Secondly, is there anything special about the power I possess? For example, perhaps it has a special power of creation and decay, similar to that of the Great Lord of Heaven?"
Seele nodded, her voice soft and sweet: "I understand. When it's daytime, you can sense it together with the Great Free Heaven. As for the power, you can try it here first; I might be able to see something."
Yun Fuyu: "Yes, that's what I think too."
He reluctantly got up from the super soft sofa, took a few steps into the distance, then stood still and stretched out a hand towards nothingness.
The shattered light flickered, and the black mist thickened. Suddenly, Seele stood up in shock, took two steps toward Yun Fuyu, and reached out in disbelief to touch his power.
It was like being electrocuted; they separated instantly upon contact.
"This is impossible……"
Seele couldn't contain her astonishment. Her mouth gaped open and her eyes widened: "Creation and death, these are clearly Seele's powers, yet you can use them flawlessly... no, even more powerful than mine!"
Shattered light and black mist represent both creation and decay, merging two diametrically opposed powers together. If touched by ordinary creatures, shattered light transforms into sharp blades, and black mist into venomous insects, displaying extremely insidious lethality. However, if touched by Seele (a benevolent ally), shattered light transforms into gentle radiance, and light mist envelops her kindly, bestowing a healing blessing.
The strength of the authority, the concentration of energy, and the ability to transform effects at will are clearly a level above the Herrscher authority used by Seele!
Why is he so strong just because he fused with the genes of the Great Free Heaven?
Yun Fuyu pondered for a moment and said, "In the original story, among the warriors who fused with Honkai Beast genes, there were quite a few outstanding individuals whose power could be raised above that of ordinary Herrschers. I guess this is not only due to the Honkai Beast genes, but also because these people were originally very powerful."
“For example, Kevin, he reached the point where he could fight you through his own training. As for me, I can share your power through dreams (oaths), and I am also fused with the genes of the Great Lord of Heaven, so it seems understandable that I am stronger than you in the end.”
Seele reluctantly accepted his explanation, feeling both happy and frustrated. Happy that his power had surged, but frustrated that she had suddenly become a supporting character in the story, used to highlight the protagonist's power...
It felt as if a little man was writhing and thrashing inside her. After a long while of venting, she finally accepted reality, looked up at Yun Fuyu who had somehow appeared in front of her, and suddenly felt a stirring in her heart.
Seele pouted, glancing sideways as if dissatisfied, and muttered, "Then I won't take action anymore, it's your turn to step up."
"..."
He was also moved: "...Yes, it's my turn to protect Seele."
A laugh escaped someone's lips, which then joined in the laughter of another person.
