Chapter 142 - The Imaginary Tree Treats You Like Its Own Child

When Mobius heard Takumi say that, she nodded immediately.

"Alright then, in that case, let's first take care of what's on hand."

"So, what kind of Honkai Beast genes are we going to use?"

If they wanted to turn Himeko into a fusion warrior...

"Same as Kalpas, right?"

"Himeko plays with fire too."

"She's already used the superpower serum I gave her."

"You can collaborate with her on further research."

"My superpower awakening serum complements human genes."

"Maybe Himeko's genes are even more suited for the hyper-evolution procedure now?"

Takumi had acquired a lot of knowledge regarding the hyper-evolution process.

Based on his analysis, Himeko seemed to be a very good fit for the operation now.

If that proved true, then perhaps the future of superpowered individuals could lie in becoming fusion warriors, too—deciding what genes to fuse based on their abilities.

Mobius's eyes lit up instantly after hearing this.

"Let's go!"

"Cangxuan, Danzhu, Klein, come help out!"

If this worked, it would definitely be worth researching!

Calling her assistants, Mobius eagerly grabbed Himeko and pulled her toward the operating room Takumi had already prepared.

Everything in the room had been built by Takumi, based on the equipment from the Elysian Realm.

Seeing this, the others quietly waited.

Takumi turned his gaze toward Kevin.

"Let's go to the moon."

"Mei, while you're here, take this chance to learn from these MANTIS warriors."

"They're your seniors, after all."

"I'll still be around for a few more days."

"How much you can learn from them is up to you."

After speaking to Kevin, Takumi reminded Mei again.

He encouraged her to study seriously under these former era elites. After all, every one of them was a powerhouse.

If she wasted this opportunity, Takumi might just end up taking all the benefits with him.

Hearing Takumi's advice, Mei quickly nodded.

"Okay!"

Of course—she understood how formidable these MANTIS were.

To learn from them properly would definitely be worthwhile.

After giving his instructions, Takumi left with Kevin.

With the help of the Herrscher of the Void's authority, Takumi teleported in the blink of an eye, taking Kevin to the moon.

Looking at the barren lunar surface, Kevin's mind was momentarily dazed.

It felt as though the Final Battle had just happened yesterday.

But in reality, more than ten thousand years had passed.

Takumi scanned the place and soon flew off. Kevin quickly followed.

Before long, they arrived at a massive ruin.

"Let's first recover Dr. Mei."

"And the other Flame-Chasers as well."

Hearing this, Kevin nodded. No problem.

Since they were here, he would follow Takumi's lead.

Takumi quickly locked onto the world bubbles and activated them.

In the next moment, two spectral figures materialized before them.

Upon seeing the familiar silhouette, Kevin froze.

"Mei!!"

Dr. Mei also reacted to his voice.

"Kevin? This is...?"

She was stunned. She had assumed a future generation had activated the world bubble.

But it was Kevin?

"Let's talk later. First, I'll bring you back."

Takumi interrupted the reunion and began reviving Dr. Mei.

Her soul was also drawn back in the process.

Feeling her body again, Dr. Mei was surprised.

"This...?"

Was she alive again?

Who exactly was this man?

She frowned, puzzled.

After reviving Dr. Mei, Takumi opened a channel to the Imaginary Space.

"You go in first. I want to check out this world's Cocoon of Finality."

"Kevin, just explain everything to Dr. Mei."

"Oh, and by the way, you can touch Dr. Mei now!"

"There won't be any issues."

Takumi added with a smile.

He had strengthened Dr. Mei's body, so Kevin didn't have to worry about harming her with his cold temperature anymore.

Kevin nodded.

"Thank you! Mei... let's go."

After hesitating briefly, he reached out and took Dr. Mei's hand, guiding her into the Imaginary Space.

Dr. Mei was surprised again—she only now realized her physical condition had improved dramatically.

Her doubts deepened.

She planned to question Kevin thoroughly later.

...

Once Kevin and Dr. Mei had left, Takumi turned his gaze to Subject Seventeen—Prometheus.

"Prometheus, take me to the Cocoon of Finality."

Takumi smiled at the figure who looked just like Bronya.

At the same time, he snapped a picture and sent it to the chat group.

Takumi:

[@Bronya, look, Pudding Duck!!]

After sending the message, Takumi closed the chat.

Prometheus didn't hesitate. Her body emitted a soft glow, and she vanished with Takumi.

When they reappeared, they were in a strange space.

There was a large egg there—the Cocoon of Finality.

As soon as Takumi arrived, he could clearly feel its joy.

And he could also feel that he was suppressing it?

Realizing this, Takumi's expression became complicated.

"You've felt it, haven't you?"

"The Cocoon of Finality seems to really like you."

"Also, your rank appears to be higher than its."

Prometheus finally spoke.

She had noticed this the moment Takumi arrived.

As the super AI designed by Dr. Mei, and also the shackle of the Honkai Will, she understood what this meant.

She also knew that Takumi possessed the power of Finality.

Looking at the Cocoon of Finality, Takumi reached out and touched it.

He began absorbing all the information stored within it.

Yes—Takumi intended to absorb the Cocoon.

Once deployed, the Cocoon was unowned.

Takumi faced no resistance in absorbing it.

In fact, it seemed eager to merge with him.

As it fused with Takumi, he discovered deeper connections with Mei and the others.

If necessary, Takumi could even retrieve their Herrscher powers.

In other words, he was replacing the Cocoon, becoming this world's embodiment of Finality.

And his connection with the Imaginary Tree had deepened as well.

From the very moment he entered this world, he had sensed its unusual friendliness toward him.

Now, it was treating him like its own son.
