"What is Dr. Tesla doing?"
"I don't know. I just heard some strange cries coming from the lab."
"It's so scary. The sounds inside are so weird."
"It sounds like the roars of Honkai beasts? But it also sounds like human voices?"
"Are they even humans?"
Dr. Tesla had not allowed anyone outside the lab to enter. She was alone in the lab, merging human genes into living Honkai beasts.
This was where the interesting part came in.
If the Honkai factors themselves had a material level of suppression on humans, then human genes should instantly dissolve and be defeated when they entered the body of a Honkai beast.
But was that the reality?
Not at all.
If Dr. Tesla had the chance to travel through time to the Honkai Impact 2 timeline, she would know that even beings of pure energy, like the Will of the Honkai, could still be reversed and infiltrated by human beings using the power of the Stigmata, creating what was called the cage of flesh.
But Dr. Tesla currently didn't have that kind of power. Although she could create Honkai fission bombs with her own hands, create the Moonlight Throne, and change genetic information, Dr. Tesla was like a Kami trapped in the universe. [Kami are spirits, or gods in Japanese Shinto culture]
She was still imprisoned within the Honkai-3 world of trees and seas.
'Under the influence of the Stigmata, the Honkai beast was successfully defeated by the disorder and madness within human genes.'
Dr. Tesla was mesmerized as she looked at the Honkai beast in front of her, which had turned into a degraded tentacle monster. On its body, she could still see the strange biological organs that were emitting a purple light. One by one, the flesh tissues were spreading on the Honkai beast's body like a virus, frantically absorbing the energy and nutrients from the Honkai beast's body.
She reached out and touched the fleshy sprouts of the tentacles. It seemed that she thought of something, and her face flushed slightly. She quickly shook her head, recovering from this obsessed state.
'I'm a normal person, I'm a normal person, I'm a normal person, so it's normal to have some lust, right?'
Dr. Tesla comforted herself. She didn't want her aesthetic to actually become a tentacle monster.
Even if this was a Honkai beast with no intelligence.
'I… this tentacle monster still feels a little lacking.'
While she didn't care about the messy human ethical feelings, she couldn't bring herself to mate with a creature without reason.
How could this feeling be compared to cursing and whipping a real, intelligent tentacle lifeform?
Dr. Tesla didn't know that her current state was like a guy who stuffed a crawfish up his butt, then looked for all kinds of excuses to make in front of the doctor.
"Dr. Tesla is obsessed with biological modifications again. I wonder what kind of terrible abuse that Honkai beast will suffer."
"Don't you think the little Honkai beasts are cute?"
"Are you crazy? They're killers!"
"But they're not a threat now. Look how happy Dr. Tesla is playing with them."
"Did you see it? The Honkai beast holding that big sword, it had a human face growing inside it. I saw it. Some of them even have beautiful, pretty girl faces. I want to try and see if it can do the things I want it to do."
"You need to come to your senses. Those are Honkai beasts! How can you let them bite you?"
"What are you talking about? I just wanted to see if they can eat."
"Do Honkai beasts also poop?"
"Dr. Tesla is getting more and more radical, she doesn't even bother to communicate with us about her experiments."
Whether or not Honkai beasts pooped was something that the researchers currently didn't have any firsthand information about.
But…
This was already the twelfth Honkai beast that Dr. Tesla had killed.
She wiped the dirty blood that had splashed into her forehead eye expressionlessly, not at all worried that it was the viral tumor that she had created in the Honkai beast's body.
Human genes mixed with the Stigmata will were like unprecedentedly powerful weapons against the Honkai beasts.
It was even more easy for someone like her, who could control genes, to use them skillfully.
'I can't keep experimenting with viruses like this, at this rate, these low-level Honkai beasts won't be able to hold on.'
There weren't many test subjects, which made Dr. Tesla a little disappointed. She had hoped that Noldrei would have taken it easy and left a few more test subjects for her.
After cleaning up the virus bodies in the lab, she then turned on the communication function and asked people to clean up the Honkai beast corpses.
The researchers had become used to Dr. Tesla's 'wild and crude' experimental methods.
They also knew that based on the level of Dr. Tesla's 'surgery,' it was already more precise than any machine in the world. It was just that these scenes always made her seem a little scary.
The lab walls were covered in pieces of flesh that had exploded, and the murky blood that was all over the place. No one knew what kind of evil things Dr. Tesla had done to the Honkai beasts.
But everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the real thing in their hands.
These biological researchers didn't care about the chaotic scenes at all. One by one, they cleaned up the things and prepared to go out and conduct experiments, publish papers, and earn more money.
"Without the genetic information of the Stigmata, it's difficult for human genes to merge into the body of a Honkai beast. But if that's the case, what kind of Stigmata should I be looking for to gently merge into the Honkai beast? Kiana?"
Dr. Tesla thought of that chaotic and disordered genetic power, and she felt that it wasn't merging, but rather, it was reversing and devouring the Honkai beast.
"Raiden Mei? Her Stigmata genes don't seem to be working very well either."
"Those orphaned girls from Cocolia? Their Stigmata powers don't seem to be enough. The Alliance Leader? I don't think that will work either."
"Then who should I look for? The other members of the Kaslana family? No, their family's Stigmata space has completely become Kiana's nutrients. In this situation, the Kaslana's Schicksal Knight Stigmata has been almost completely abandoned."
If Tesla remembered correctly, that Stigmata, which was originally in the shape of a sword, had long since changed.
As for what it had become, she hadn't bothered to pay attention to it. Who would go and look to see if Kiana still had any Stigmata totems on her body?
'Wait, that guy should have seen it too…'
Tesla thought of Noldrei's lifestyle and realized that Noldrei should be very familiar with the Stigmata on Kiana's body.
"If I remember correctly, let me think..."
"Doesn't Durandal still have the Schariac Stigmata power? That thing should be able to keep human genes from being changed inside a Honkai beast's body, and I just need to keep the Schariac's power locked to a certain degree."
"Can that be done?"
Dr. Tesla was a little unsure. What she was even more unsure about was whether Durandal would mind if her blood was taken for experiments.
What if the other party also thought that she was the type of person who liked to clone people when she was bored?
In view of the scumbag Otto's behavior in the past, the people who understood the situation were very careful about their own gene and blood.
'I should still be somewhat trustworthy, right?'
Dr. Tesla looked down at her white lab coat, which was covered in blood, and she felt a little uncertain.
