[In the Video]
Mobius's massive body twisted in the space, green snake scales reflecting an eerie light.
"So this is 'Artificial Herrscherization,' the true form of a fusion warrior..."
"My my~ Big sister, I really like the look on your face right now~"
Mobius's voice came from the giant humanoid serpent, carrying a tone like she was acting spoiled.
"This kind of beauty that surpasses the fundamental level… isn't something just anyone can witness~"
"Hmph~ Although Artificial Herrscherization is indeed a little surprising, in my eyes, that's all it is." Raiden Mei said coldly.
Mobius's serpent pupils suddenly contracted, then she suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"That's all? You don't actually think… you still have a chance to stop me, do you? Something that even three Flame-Chasers working together barely managed to do, do you think you alone can?"
"How would I know without trying?" Raiden Mei's katana pointed straight at Mobius.
"Hehe… hahahahaha… very well, very well… I just like people like you."
Mobius's voice suddenly turned cold. "Do you know? In experiments, the ones who survive are often not those filled with hope… but those who are so far into despair they no longer want to live."
"'Things going against one's wishes'… that's what happens most often."
"I'll return those words to you, Mobius."
"Hehe… then let's see, when we walk out of here, will it be 'Raiden Mei'… or 'Mobius.'"
The moment she finished speaking, the scepter in Mobius's hand burst out with a blinding green light, striking toward Raiden Mei.
Raiden Mei had just wanted to dodge, but found that her ankle had suddenly been bound by green liquid surging up from the ground.
She quickly swung her blade to cut it off, only to see even more liquid surging toward her from all directions.
Seeing this, Raiden Mei could only unleash her full power.
"Kurikara!"
At her call, a massive Honkai beast burst out, tearing through the air.
But before it could even attack, several Mobius puppets suddenly emerged from the green liquid. They linked together with chains of light, instantly binding Raiden Mei's body.
"This is…"
The moment she was bound by the light chains, Raiden Mei immediately felt the Honkai energy inside her draining away at an alarming rate.
Mobius saw this and grinned savagely, raising her scepter high, "Goodbye, big sister~"
At this hair's breadth of a moment, Raiden Mei suddenly felt an unprecedented power surging inside her.
She was astonished to find that, in addition to the stigmata she had gained from the Flame-Chasers, there was also a completely new stigmata awakening…
This power was warm and familiar, carrying Van's unique presence.
At the same time, after noticing the abnormality in Raiden Mei, Mobius's movements suddenly froze.
She stared at Raiden Mei in disbelief, to be precise, she was staring at the power surging from Raiden Mei's body…
"This is?!" Her voice suddenly twisted into a shrill screech.
"You lied to me! For this Herrscher, you actually..."
Raiden Mei could clearly feel Mobius's attacks becoming even more frenzied.
Every strike carried a deep jealousy and hatred, as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.
The entire space trembled with her emotional outburst, and the green liquid boiled and churned like it was alive.
Mobius had completely lost her reason, moving now only from the rage and jealousy of betrayal.
"Why did you betray me?!"
"Why did you choose her?!"
With her heart full of fury, Mobius drove all her power into her scepter, condensing a blinding green light at its tip.
She raised the scepter high, pouring every ounce of strength into a fatal strike toward Raiden Mei.
"Die!"
"This is… the moment of ascension to godhood!!!"
At that moment, Raiden Mei suddenly sensed the air around her freeze solid.
Time seemed to halt in that instant, even the droplets of green liquid in midair stopped moving.
Right after, Mobius and the puppets she had summoned also froze in place, as if someone had pressed a pause button.
The green light on the scepter stayed in its about-to-fire state, unable to advance even an inch.
"Stop this, Doctor." Klein's voice suddenly rang through the space, carrying rare determination.
"This is not you… this is not the 'Mobius' who would make this choice."
"Klein?" Raiden Mei looked around in surprise. "Why are you…"
"No time to explain."
Klein's voice was urgent. "I'm not like you, I can only do so much. I'll help disrupt the Doctor's puppets. If even that can't stop her… then find a way to escape."
Mobius seemed to finally break free from some kind of restraint, and instantly noticed something wrong with her puppets.
"Klein!" Her voice was twisted with rage. "Are you betraying me too?!"
Taking advantage of Mobius's distraction, Raiden Mei took a deep breath and activated all the stigmata power in her body.
Purple lightning intertwined with the golden stigmata left by Van, forming a dazzling halo around her.
"It's over, Mobius!"
With a fierce shout, Raiden Mei shot forward like a bolt of purple-gold lightning toward Mobius.
This strike carried all her strength, and that special will of protection within Van's stigmata.
BOOM!
In the deafening explosion, Mobius's serpent form was forcefully beaten back into human shape.
She staggered back a few steps before finally collapsing weakly to the ground.
When the dust settled, Klein's figure quietly appeared beside Mobius.
"It's all over, Doctor Mobius… No, perhaps I shouldn't call you that anymore."
"Klein… why… you should understand me…"
Mobius's voice was filled with unprecedented fragility.
"Fifty thousand years ago, you already knew I was going to do this… You never opposed me… so why… why now… would you stop me…"
"Because…"
Klein paused for a moment, but ultimately spoke the cruel truth.
"The real Doctor Mobius had already abandoned this plan when she told it to me."
"'The real Mobius'? Klein, what do you mean by that?" Mobius's pupils suddenly shrank.
"I… am the real Mobius."
