Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

"It's weird, you know, that I ran into the four of you in this era..."

"Logically, this time should still be considered a peaceful era, but the lot of you can't even make a pair of parents between you."

"When the teacher assigns essays like 'My Mother' or 'My Father,' how do you guys even handle that?"

Noldrei posed this devastatingly abstract question.

Three ponies and a blobby, tentacled thing fell silent in the backyard.

They were all dumbfounded by Noldrei's abstract question.

As the only one present still capable of speech, Kiana unleashed about ten minutes of profanity at Noldrei.

"But it's okay, I, as a future person, was also mass-produced. In that regard, you guys are like, you have them, but it's basically like you don't, while I'm like, I never had them to begin with. I believe there will be more and more humans who share our common ground!"

After saying that, Noldrei smacked the honest apple pony, Coco-Lia, who was trying to escape, with a tentacle.

"Don't worry, once I ascend the throne and become emperor, I'll immediately give everyone a chromosome virus that prevents them from ever having kids. When the time comes and you want children, you can personally select the appropriate chromosomes and give them to me for processing. For now, I'll be the one to bear the next generation for all of humanity. This way, we'll definitely be able to sprint into a new era."

"With something like the Honkai around, I'll just say it's a virus created by the Honkai. I, this future person, will suffer a bit, and the Honkai can take the blame."

Ever since Noldrei learned that there was a Honkai causing trouble in this era, he had already decided to make it the behind-the-scenes boss of this era's drama.

To successfully reach the future he desired, he had no choice but to sacrifice the Honkai.

Anyway, the Honkai has done so many bad things, one more or less doesn't make a difference.

Once Noldrei controlled the reproductive rights of all humanity, he would naturally become the emperor of human society.

"You freaking stop it! Think of a proper way to rule humanity!"

Kiana was so angry she was dumbfounded. She never imagined that a future person would come along and immediately try to poison all of humanity, and with a castration poison, no less.

She, the dignified young lady of the Kaslana family, hasn't even had children yet, and now she's going to be castrated?

"Why are you so worked up? Aren't you capable of asexual reproduction? Those poisons won't have any effect on your body."

Noldrei thought she was being too abstract. He was seriously thinking about how to learn from his predecessors' methods of ruling, but this matriarchal primitive was just being abstract and making a fuss.

Only then did Kiana realize that her body had been deeply modified by the future person, and that he even knew more about her condition than she did.

The three little ponies were terrified, huddling together and trembling as they watched the guy who was planning to create a biological virus to castrate all of humanity.

This was no ordinary future person; he was practically a Cthulhu-esque evil god.

"Why do you want to stop all of humanity from reproducing? Isn't that extremely inhumane?"

Kiana couldn't understand at all. She didn't understand why the future had turned out like this.

Noldrei pondered for a long time, then asked, puzzled, "Really... inhumane? But isn't collective human reproduction a necessary tech branch to unlock when entering the interstellar age? It maximizes the catalysis of human genetic evolution, minimizes the elimination of harmful genes, and is an absolutely great method for eugenics."

"..."

Kiana's wisdom was temporarily unable to comprehend where exactly this was great, but she knew that once everyone in the world found out they had all been 'castrated,' she could completely imagine the chaos that would ensue.

She tried her best to use her knowledge to argue, "But that would kill a lot of people!"

Who knew Noldrei would nonchalantly say, "It's just the growing pains of reform. I'm only changing the chromosomes. I'm not eliminating everyone's sexual pleasure. They can still live happily together. If you're worried about infectious diseases, I can also improve medical standards for free, so they can engage in sexual pleasure activities without any anxiety."

This was too terrifying. These two were actually seriously discussing how to handle humanity's reproductive rights.

Bronya, though turned into a pony, had unexpectedly regained her emotional system and motor nerves. Except for her language system not being restored, this pony body was incredibly healthy and perfect.

'What are these two even talking about?'

But when she thought about how these two could turn normal people into ponies, it was entirely possible that they could create some chromosome-altering virus.

'Could it be, are they serious?'

"Kiana, as my kind, how can you stand on the side of the primitives? You should be fighting for a better future for humanity!"

Noldrei was heartbroken. He didn't expect that his only fellow kind would have such rebellious thoughts.

At this rate, when would proliferationist ever be eliminated?

When would humanity ever get better?

"Do you even know how terrible things became after humanity's reproductive rights were opened up in the future? Those bastards started constantly producing new humans, trying to make the battles in this universe last forever."

Hearing this, Kiana couldn't help but retort, "Then go fight those who are creating them! Why are you going after us primitives?!"

"Isn't it because we can't beat them? So we thought of a way to travel back in time and steal their home base."

Noldrei's words instantly sank Kiana.

The two 'people' fell into an awkward silence. It seemed that the future was indeed not as good as they had imagined.

"No... I... ugh..."

Kiana thought for a long time, but other than her mouth, she couldn't find any way to stop Noldrei.

She couldn't beat him in a fight. Noldrei, who knew her body better than she did, was clearly stronger.

Especially that vaporization trick he used when catching the new pony, it really stunned her.

It was so cool, just like the legendary vampire mist transformation.

'No, this isn't about whether it's cool or not right now.'

Kiana fell into deep thought for a long time. She really didn't know what to do.

The Honkai was no longer a problem for her. With a body that could modify its own chromosomal genes, she could constantly produce new body tissues that could perfectly withstand Honkai energy.

But the person with such power was the biggest problem.

"Are you really planning to eliminate the reproductive rights of all humanity?"

Kiana couldn't imagine what that kind of future society would be like. When she thought about children coming off a production line, then being periodically cultivated to become what was needed, a feeling of indescribable sorrow welled up from within her body.
