To be honest, organizing strong warriors into teams to deal with enemies that ordinary people cannot handle is already considered a very normal operation. For example, the Grey Knights of the Tribunal, and the Foundation's Mobile Task Force, and so on. Therefore, Dr. Mei's proposal, in Duanmu Huai's view, is not particularly outrageous.

Of course, there are some aspects that still need attention.

"They must be human. If, after modification, their skulls are not human, then they will be directly executed by the Tribunal."

Duanmu Huai provided just one condition, but this condition made Dr. Mei somewhat surprised.

"Skull?"

"That's right. The Tribunal guards humans and eliminates any enemies that threaten humanity. So, the question arises, how do we determine if the other party is human?"

Seeing Dr. Mei wanting to say something, Duanmu Huai waved his hand to interrupt her.

"We do not care about those metaphysical judgments from philosophical and spiritual meanings. The Tribunal's standard is very simple; as long as the skull remains in human form, we recognize the other party as human. Similarly, if the skull is not in human form, then the Tribunal will classify it as a mutant or alien and directly purify and eliminate it. Understand?"

"The reason?"

"Very simple. If your appearance is no longer human, will you still stand with humans?"

Duanmu Huai spread his hands, staring at Dr. Mei.

"The Tribunal once accepted a plea for help from another human civilization. At that time, that civilization was in a very bad situation due to a population explosion and resource scarcity. They desperately needed a large amount of resources to maintain their survival and expansion. And this civilization discovered the mineral resources they needed on a planet. But the planet had indigenous residents. Initially, that civilization chose to communicate and negotiate with those alien creatures, hoping they would allow their mining activities. But for those aliens, having their home invaded by outsiders was obviously an unpleasant thing."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Mei's expression also became serious.

"Then, in order to better communicate with those alien creatures, a research group came up with a very heretical approach—they cloned alien bodies and, through spiritual connection, entered those bodies in a manner similar to soul possession, to make harmonious communication with alien creatures more feasible on a planet where the climate was unsuitable for humans... As a result, during communication with alien creatures, the stance of those people changed. They no longer stood for humanity but on the side of the aliens, turning to oppose their own civilization! This is an unforgivable act of heresy!"

"... What happened to those alien races in the end?"

"They were completely purified by the Tribunal."

Duanmu Huai coldly gave the reply.

"Those traitors who betrayed humanity also received the punishment they deserved. So, Dr. Mei..."

Saying this, Duanmu Huai lowered his head, leaned toward Dr. Mei, and stared at her.

"Remember, humans must be humans and always remain humans. I know many people like to define humans through spiritual or philosophical ways, with statements like 'I've seen the noblest Orcs and the most despicable humans'—but no matter what, Orcs are always Orcs, and humans are always humans. For the Tribunal, we don't care about those boring, philosophical, abstract ideas; we only believe what we see."

While saying this, Duanmu Huai pointed to his eyes.

"Remember this."

Staring into Duanmu Huai's eyes, Dr. Mei's expression remained unchanged. After a moment, she lowered her head.

"I understand."

Soon, the modification work for the Fusion Warriors began.

First was the selection of candidates.

Actually, in the initial plan, the Fusion Warrior project itself was more like a human experiment, frankly speaking, it was about large-scale fusion of humans and Benghuai Beasts, and then leaving it to fate to see who could survive.

Those who survived became Fusion Warriors, and those who didn't... naturally died.

However, in the latest version of the Fusion Warrior plan, Dr. Mei also implemented a series of improvements, starting with checking the candidates.

Previously, the Fusion Warrior plan only needed to assess the subjects' resistance to Destruction Energy, the higher the resistance, the more likely the success. But now, Dr. Mei added a criterion—in addition to assessing the Hume Index.

It's simple; the higher the Hume Index, the greater the success rate of becoming a Reality Bender. Duanmu Huai did not object to this and instead watched Dr. Mei's series of operations with interest, while Lumiaire silently recorded them aboard the warship.

The reason Duanmu Huai did this is because he has his own thoughts. After all, in games, the Foundation also has several special combat units composed entirely of Reality Benders. These Reality Benders are not like Superpower Users, who summon fireballs or thunder and lightning, nor like Psychics, who wield mysterious spells. What they excel at is manipulating the Hume Index.

Especially when dealing with other Reality Benders, these special team members use this power to increase or decrease the Hume Index, forcing the realities to rebalance themselves to offset the opponent's powerful strength.

This trick is not only useful against Reality Benders but also quite effective in Subspace. It can be said that the power of these Reality Benders in Subspace is equivalent to being a walking, humanoid Reality Stabilizing Anchor!

Of course, their strength does have an upper limit. When encountering Reality Benders stronger than they are, they would face certain death.

However, unfortunately, after crossing over, Duanmu Huai did not see these Reality Benders nor any special units. But this does not mean he cannot create one himself. In fact, Dr. Mei's Fusion Warrior plan is also a small experiment by Duanmu Huai to see if they can create Reality Benders and achieve the same effect as those special units in the game.

After all, in Duanmu Huai's view, the strength of Lawkeepers is not too different from those Reality Benders in the games.

If this set really works, then he can also implement it within the Tribunal, can't he?

Of course, the premise is that it's indeed effective.

But…

"Why are they all female?"

Looking at the experiment list with a gender marking of all "female," Duanmu Huai was puzzled, staring confusedly at Dr. Mei, who pushed her glasses with her hand.

"Because all the Herrschers are female, we think perhaps females are more suited for this."

"All the Herrschers? From the First to the Seventh?"

"Yes."

"This is quite interesting..."

It must be said, Dr. Mei's answer was somewhat unexpected for Duanmu Huai, but thinking about it carefully, it wasn't particularly surprising?

The list is arranged according to resistance to Collapse Energy and Hume Index, and according to Dr. Mei, she plans to start from the one with the highest success rate, going one by one.

Therefore, the first on the list is... a girl named Alicia.

However, after looking at her test report, Duanmu Huai had a "subway, elderly, mobile phone" look about him.

"Are you sure she is an ordinary person?"

"At least, she indeed hasn't shown any special power."

Dr. Mei understood why Duanmu Huai asked this. Alicia, this girl, had an extraordinarily high resistance to Collapse Energy, which would be fine — but the problem is, under the Kant Counter, the Hume Index in Alicia's body is a bit frightening... almost reaching the level of a Level 3 Reality Bender.

Is this really an ordinary person?

With skepticism, Duanmu Huai watched Alicia's combat footage, and the result... the lively and cute girl appearing in the footage indeed fought very actively and was quite capable, but she completely did not exhibit the reality-bending abilities typical of a Reality Bender.

Could it be an error in the Kant Counter's display? It shouldn't be, right?

Duanmu Huai checked again carefully and in the end, just shook his head.

Forget it, we'll know once the surgical transformation is done.

"I'll leave it to you."

Although this world hasn't started space colonization, there is a bit of advancement in medical technology, and the Tribunal isn't good at this. So Duanmu Huai directly passed this matter to Dr. Mei, since he only cared about the results, the rest — Duanmu Huai wasn't concerned.

Of course, he didn't understand it either.

In the following period, things could be said to be relatively calm. Duanmu Huai mainly slacked off at the Fire Moth's base, while An and Mary took Ogis and Mianmu Zuoniao, collaborating with the Fire Moth fighters to clear out the Benghuai Beasts and Dead Soldiers. While Herrschers are indeed the greatest threat to humans, the Benghuai Beasts and Dead Soldiers infected by the Collapse disease are also a hassle.

Of course, in terms of combat power, An, Mary, and the others are much stronger than the Fire Moth fighters.

During this interval, a Foxman reporter uploaded the second episode of the program, naturally sparking extensive debate online once more.

If the first episode merely let the major forces of the Outer Star System learn some theoretical knowledge, then the second episode, concerning the battle against Herrschers, allowed them to witness firsthand how theory turns into real strength!

After all, Herrschers truly are formidable, and this theory is recognized in many civilizations, especially after witnessing their power firsthand.

However, such a powerful Herrscher was directly suppressed by the Reality Stabilizing Anchor into a powerless ordinary person!

This is truly unbelievable! You could even say it astounded all the major forces in the Outer Star System!

Just like what the Foxman reporter had previously mentioned to Dr. Mei and the others, each force has its own trump card elites who possess extraordinary power and are considered the Sea-Calming Sacred Needle, even viewed as a nuclear warhead of that force.

Yet now, someone tells you they have a way to nullify your nuclear warhead!

Who wouldn't be afraid!

Imagine your unmatched powerful Guardian God, becoming powerless under the deployment of a Reality Stabilizing Anchor?

Just the thought of it is terrifying!

Targeting reality distortion? Then how do you define reality? What kind of power is considered the power of reality, and what kind is considered reality-bending power?

It can be said that these two episodes have elevated the importance of the Tribunal in the Outer Star System even further.

After all, the Tribunal's fleet is very capable of fighting, even capable of pressing the Interstellar Peace Company to the ground—as everyone has seen.

And now, they have also witnessed their terrifying means of directly nullifying the strength of the powerful.

Moreover, the sight of Duanmu Huai taking down the Flame Lawkeeper also proved that even without relying on machinery, just brute strength was enough to beat someone to the point of searching for their teeth!

In the eyes of various major forces, he is practically a hexagon Superman! How do you deal with that?

"How interesting..."

At the same time, aboard a warship, a purple-haired woman watched the screen before her with great interest, resting her hand on her chin, with a pensive expression.

"The Reality Stabilizing Anchor can actually have such an effect, hmm, I wonder... if it would work on the Star Core?"

Staring at the images on the screen, the purple-haired woman fell into contemplation.
