I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

After all... it's quite comfortable.

Now it's your turn to answer my question: Who are you?

My name is Möbius, and I am a biologist.

【impossible.】

Möbius sensed the other person's emotional fluctuations.

Why is it impossible? It's just a name; why would I need to lie to you?

If you are Möbius, then who am I?

The voice is the kind that clearly reveals a feigned innocence, eerily affected and artificial.

"You...aren't you Dr. Serpent of the Worlds?"

Mebius remembered the female protagonist's name, but she quickly realized what it meant.

Could it be...?

That was just my code name. I am Möbius, and Möbius is the Serpent of Devouring Worlds.

Möbius heard a soft chuckle.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone dare to impersonate me, managing to silently enter my current body. Just who are you?

【...】

Mebius's thoughts were racing, running at an unprecedented pace.

The other person's name is Möbius? How could that be!

Möbius... Möbius!

I am a time traveler.

Möbius decided to tell the truth.

For ordinary people, this is an extremely dangerous approach, but given Dr. Devourer's similar personality, openness and honesty are the most efficient way to communicate.

The other party will definitely be interested in the phenomenon of time travel.

[Time traveler?]

Sure enough, there was obvious surprise in the other person's voice.

But the astonishment quickly shifted to Möbius and amplified.

What do you mean by "you're also a time traveler"?

Traveling from Earth to Onphalos?

Even someone as intelligent and eccentric as Mebius felt a chill run down his spine after communicating with Dr. Devourer of Worlds.

Is this still the world of R18 doujinshi?

Is the background really that complicated?

Where did Cangxuan find the notebook?

【Parallel World.】

The voice of the Devouring Serpent snapped Mebius out of his reverie, and he suddenly realized the truth.

yes!

If it's a parallel universe, then everything can be explained.

Möbius was an expert in the field of life sciences, not space physics, but she immediately realized this after the Devouring Serpent pointed it out.

With the identity mystery resolved, only one question remains.

【Why?】

Why did she and the Devouring Serpent travel through time?

The phenomenon of time travel is suspected to be related to the star's core.

The Devouring Serpent seemed to realize its identity, and its tone became less wary and more interested as it answered its question.

[A stellar core? What's that?]

Möbius pressed on.

[The Star Core, the Cancer of All Realms...]

Next, the Devouring Serpent made no attempt to conceal anything and shared all sorts of information with Mebius.

Of course, during the process, I would also ask the other party some questions; if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way.

The two maintained a rule of one person asking a question at a time, thus facilitating efficient communication.

Möbius grew increasingly excited.

An abundance of curiosity.

This is a virtue for scientists.

Mebius was undoubtedly one of the scholars with the highest moral standards in a world in ruins.

Fate.

The Milky Way Universe.

Various types of life in the universe.

Onpharos, the Golden Blood, Titans, Beasts...

Each word gave Möbius a strong sense of novelty, arousing her curiosity and desire to study.

Is this what makes the so-called star-core artificial body special?

Mebius saw his own gradually bulging belly through his body's perspective.

Of course, it's impossible to reproduce so quickly.

The reason she did this was because, in her excitement, she accidentally poured far too much of a nutrient-rich substance—composed of fructose, protein, enzymes, inorganic salts, and organic salts—into an expandable bagged container.

This made Mebius's mouth twitch.

Oh well, it's not my own body anyway.

No, it seems to be 'myself'.

These moral matters are not important.

What Möbius is focusing on is quantity.

That's clearly not the amount a normal human male should have.

[His reproductive destiny stems from the power of the Insect King's destiny; he possesses the reproductive endurance of a true gnaw insect.]

[A real stinging insect?]

Mebius's eyes lit up when he spotted the new term.

After hearing the Serpent of the World's story about the True Stinger, Mebius was even more excited.

Beautiful life!

Powerful evolutionary adaptability, the Insect King, the Star God, and the Commander.

One after another, unbelievable things existed, far beyond our Earthly worldview, causing Möbius's breathing to gradually become heavier.

【Um?】

Möbius suddenly felt as if she could control her body again.

Your time travel seems to be related to me. I can control our consciousness to exchange; this was an experiment, and it turns out I succeeded.

[Is this related to you?]

Although he had gained control of the body, Mebius did not call a stop.

Yes, be careful not to spill my experimental materials.

【...】

Knowing that the experimental materials were valuable, Möbius did not raise any objections. He changed his body from crawling to lying down, raising his legs in an M-shape to avoid spilling them.

The Devouring Serpent seemed quite satisfied and continued its explanation.

[It seems that after I mated with Sora, I evolved a new ability that can attract the consciousness of my counterpart from a parallel world.]

Is this even possible?

evolution!

Möbius's attention was drawn to the word.

It's like the powers of a Herrscher.

This ability is as wondrous as, or even surpasses, the powers of the Second Herrscher.

I will deactivate my powers, allowing you to return to your own world.

No, wait! Don't deactivate it yet!

When Mebius heard that the World-Devouring Serpent wanted to access his abilities, he immediately panicked.

Don't you want to return to your own world? That's true. If you were me in a parallel universe, Möbius, you wouldn't be able to reach the vast galaxy and the higher levels of existence, those mysterious and alluring places.

The Serpent of Devouring Worlds spoke in an exceptionally cute tone, which left Mebius speechless.

As you said, I want to stay in this world. Would you mind if I stayed in your body for a while?

Möbius rarely spoke to people in such a pleading tone.

but.

People, you know.

We can't give up the opportunity to encounter countless new and fascinating life forms just to save face.

If it's just about staying, I might let you stay because you're Möbius, but knowing me as I do, you're not content to just watch.

Upon hearing this, Mebius hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The Devouring Serpent was right; if possible, she would certainly like to conduct experiments and research herself.

But she also knew herself well; the fact that she couldn't be sent back immediately meant she was in a good mood, which was probably thanks to the people who kept bringing her experimental subjects.

I can help you with experiments, some of the more complex tasks, and data processing.

Offering to be someone's assistant and becoming a tool was something Möbius never dreamed of.

But I'll say it again.

Shouldn't we avoid abandoning our research just to save face?

Mebius sensed that the other person had fallen into deep thought and felt a little nervous. She didn't know when she had last felt this way.

"If that's the case, it's not impossible. I do need a capable assistant."

The words of the Devouring Serpent put Möbius's mind at ease.

[So, let's begin now. Collecting valuable experimental materials and the second step of the experimental procedure are all up to you. Try your best to get pregnant!]

The Devouring Serpent gave a half-smile, its tone barely concealing its joy.

【...】

Mebius felt a lump in his throat.

Her expression twisted violently for a moment.

But this was her own choice.

If she were given the choice again, she would still make the same decision.

It's not my own body anyway.

Comforting himself in this way, Möbius took the initiative to cooperate with Qiong.

She also wanted to see if this evolved body could conceive.

If so, what would the life form be?
