Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Kevin couldn't have imagined that Noldrei was thinking about future generations admiring the ancient imperial city of his ascension.

His mind was still trying to process the idea of the Honkai farming humanity.

Given: Honkai Energy can be utilized by humans, but it will also backlash against them. And then there's the fact that Honkai Energy cannot leave the solar system.

Looking at it this way, it seems Honkai Energy has only done one thing: it allowed humanity within the solar system to develop to a certain point, and then kept them at that level, preventing further advancement. This cyclical system even has an automatic retrieval function. It was indeed a very intelligent and cleverly operated fish tank.

Ancestor Kevin's head was buzzing. He began to wonder if there really were aliens farming humanity.

But he couldn't understand why such a hypothesis would arise. What could have led to the association with aliens farming humans? Had humans done something similar themselves, leading them to draw comparisons with aliens?

Even Kevin knew that when humans did such things internally, it was to maintain the hierarchy of a market economy and gain sufficient benefits for themselves.

"Regardless of whether this idea is true, since Honkai Energy cannot traverse the solar system, it seems this energy does have an upper limit. How disappointing. It's not even as versatile as the helium-3 from the sun's solar wind."

Noldrei was truly disappointed. He had originally thought that by traveling to the past, he could discover a new, unseen mineral. When future historians studied history, they could say that His Majesty the Emperor had found the lost secrets of civilization.

But then someone told him this thing only worked within the solar system and was useless outside of it.

How was he supposed to develop human cosmic civilization with this? How could the Nagazora Empire continue to expand?

"By the way, how exactly do you achieve that cognitive pollution ability? Do other warriors of the Current Era have similar abilities?"

Kevin seemed to have remembered something. If Noldrei was this powerful, then the other warriors on Earth must also be very formidable, right?

"Indeed. Look, this is my Crown Princess, but she still hasn't learned how to use the power of this body. So even though I try to communicate with her every day, she just eats and sleeps like an idiot. It's the Honkai's fault for being too weak, for putting too little pressure on humanity. Otherwise, it would surely ignite an even greater conflict."

Noldrei sighed with regret as he said this, thinking that Kiana must not have suffered enough.

'Double standards, huh? Why is it that when others slack off, it's fine, but you're so strict and excessive with me?! Besides, haven't I already finished my high school studies? I just want to play for the remaining two years of high school. What's wrong with that?'

Kiana felt that since she could live for ten thousand years, why should she grind herself down every day? Was it to make her ascend the throne and become emperor sooner? No wonder so many crown princes in history were driven mad.

"My personal plan is to first start with humanity. According to your words, the humans of the 'eigenspace,' so that everyone can quickly reach my current state. This way, they will no longer have to worry about the trouble of language and translation. But so far, these people have not become excellent Stigma-compatible individuals, which puts me in a very difficult position."

Hm? Kevin heard something incredible again.

"Stigma wielders can also be cultivated from ordinary people? Can an ordinary person's Honkai Energy resistance withstand it?"

Even in the Previous Era, warriors were not so easy to cultivate. Kevin's curiosity was understandable.

Soon, Noldrei told Kevin what he had done in the Current Era. The more he spoke, the more complicated Kevin's expression became.

Especially when he heard about the layered screening and cultivation through the human body, and the controllable nature of the Honkai factors. His brow furrowed even more when he heard about cultivating the Kaslanas into non-sentient, living biological organ armor.

The Kaslanas had been generations of heroes in history. To think that even their genetic information after death could continue to shine, not to mention the fact that everyone was fighting while wearing a living Kaslana.

As the ancestor of the Kaslanas, Kevin didn't know whether to say his descendants' thinking was thoroughly liberated, or that their casual disregard for ethics and morality knew no bounds.

'Whatever, as long as it works against the Honkai.'

He had only been thrown into the Sea of Quanta for a little over a thousand years, yet the Kaslanas of this era had become so insane?

One could only imagine the suffering these descendants had endured without his secret support.

Kevin sighed with deep emotion. To think that the Kaslanas, who had always been known as simple-minded warriors, could one day produce a shady scientific researcher like Noldrei with no bottom line.

He began to suspect that when Noah was created back then, Mobius had secretly mixed in her own genes. Every warrior in the Current Era was fighting while carrying his genes. Just the thought of it made Kevin feel like grass was about to sprout from his head.

"By compensating for the damage of the Honkai with this living body, the combat awareness of humanity has generally improved rapidly. I believe humanity will soon have an army of a million Stigmas, and then eliminating the Honkai will be a small matter."

"We are looking for a way to further control the Herrschers, so that they will obediently provide us with the new genes necessary for the future evolution of humanity. It's just that the Honkai Herrschers have not been enough recently, which is why I specifically came out to find Herrschers. Now that I think about it, I was too young and didn't consider the limitations of Honkai Energy."

"Now the Herrschers of the eigenspace are also in hiding, and the Herrschers of the parallel worlds, even if they observe me, will carefully hide and not show themselves. The development of human civilization is about to stagnate! How can I lead humanity into a new era of immortality for all then? The thought of everyone being stuck in a stage of suffering and not being able to live long, just thinking about that picture makes my heart ache."

"Everyone is living such a hard life, and now they can only do simple organ replacements and gender changes. What if I disappear one day? How will they go on? How will they walk out into a future without 'reproductivism'?"

"If they have to suffer a second time, what then? That woman Tesla's mind is full of filthy thoughts. How can I count on such a person, humanity's strongest scientific researcher?"

Noldrei was filled with grief. The thought that he might not be able to change humanity's future development of reproductivism was very painful.

Kevin wanted to speak but hesitated. He didn't know whether to comfort him or to say that this descendant was being too humblebrag-y.

It was as if humans would die if they weren't immortal. How were the humans of the past, who could only live for a few decades, supposed to face their descendants?

'As expected of a warrior of the Current Era, so dedicated and concerned about the country and its people, only considering the continuation of human civilization.'

Kevin leaned back slightly, filled with utmost respect for Noldrei's spirit and will.

'But, what is this 'reproductivism' he's talking about? It seems to be a very bad ideology. Is it similar to the collapsed and surrendered ideology of the Previous Era?'
