Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Noldrei reached in and felt around for a while, surprisingly discovering that the woman was pregnant.

"Interesting!"

"Less than three weeks along, how unexpected."

The tentacle that was binding the man ruthlessly pierced into his body. Soon, a comparison of their genetic information appeared in his mind.

"Not his kid, hahaha!"

Noldrei couldn't help but laugh.

The current atmosphere made Raiden Mei a bit scared. She pressed herself against the wall, watching this bizarre scene.

Noldrei reached out and pulled out the woman's reproductive organs.

His fingers gently traced the organ, and then, under a transparent membrane, one could vaguely see a strange embryo already implanted there.

"The uterine wall is too thin, making implantation difficult. There's even some intrauterine adhesion. If nothing unexpected happens, this child is very likely to be miscarried. Or rather, with just a slight mishap, this uterus will no longer be able to bear children."

Noldrei's words made Raiden Mei shudder. She subconsciously shivered, then covered her abdomen.

Although Noldrei wasn't talking to her, it felt like he was.

"This child is not yours. I've compared your genetic information. Not only are you not related, but you're completely unrelated."

The man was quickly enraged by this and struggled, seemingly wanting to kick the woman with his free legs.

Noldrei found this absurd scene both pathetic and infuriating.

"Mei, do you know why the patriarchal clan system was established long ago? Why is the Chinese character for 'clan' (氏) composed of the radical for 'woman' (女)? And why did patriarchal clans worship female deities?"

He sighed, healed the reproductive organs in his hand, and even kindly restored the lost hymen.

Raiden Mei didn't really want to discuss the development of social relations at this time. But she was curious about what connection Noldrei was making between this thing in his hand and ancient history.

"Wh-why?"

Noldrei looked down at the reproductive organs in his hand, his fingers gently stroking the tissue layers.

Like a pulse, the thing in his hand instinctively contracted.

He sighed with emotion.

"Because the earliest ethical systems were nothing more than shoddy imitations of actual blood relations created by humans. I see that many of your history books describe 'primitive communal society,' but in reality, it wasn't 'communal' at all."

"Can you understand what I'm saying? From our perspective as future humans, your current situation is similar to the so-called primitive communal society. You're casually exchanging rights you don't even understand, and you think the use of these rights is infinite and a given."

"But that's simply because the ancients didn't know what kind of power they possessed, and since they didn't discover this power, they could peacefully exchange it, creating the illusion of a 'communal society' when it's actually a 'who-knows-what being privately owned by who-knows-who' situation."

"According to the research of your current generation of philosophers, that's the law of the unity of opposites. When old contradictions disappear, new contradictions will arise. By the same logic, there were definitely contradictions before the new contradictions appeared. But you simply didn't notice what the old contradiction was, because you haven't experienced the old contradiction in the new society."

"The humans of ancient primitive society faced a harsh external environment, and naturally, there was also a contradiction within them that they were unaware of but could sense. Having only external contradictions without internal contradictions directly goes against the unity of opposites."

"And this contradiction will be called 'civilization's innate right to conservation' in the future. Currently, it should be 'privatization of genes.'"

"This power is only held by the side with easier reproduction. And the patriarchal system actually uses the power of the patriarchy to create a false female, that is, a 'goddess' or a 'family name,' using force and the means of production to imitate the act of 'reproduction.'"

"Combined with artificial supervision of social ethics, it gave everyone a fair chance at reproduction, allowing each person to speak up on their right to 'civilization's innate conservation,' using the concept of a false female to give men half of the reproductive rights in the social system."

"Otherwise, humans would forever be like ants. The breeding vessels would always be the breeding vessels, and the worker slaves would always be worker slaves."

"The primitive family commune that your modern philosophers fantasize about does not exist. Only a cruel matriarchal society with privatized reproduction exists."

"In that cruel society, half of the humans didn't have the right to comment on the future ideological development of mankind, and that half were the men who were in charge of labor."

Noldrei's words somewhat intrigued Raiden Mei. She didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

"Reproduction is the greatest conservative power in human society. This power represents the continuation of society. Only those who desire and want their current society to continue will actively reproduce, and this ideology essentially expresses the conservatism of reproduction."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll personally push it forward next."

Noldrei put the thing back into the woman's body.

The lucky woman had been unconscious the entire time, completely unaware that she had been treated.

"Okay, I've restored her to her original state, can you still accept her now?"

The power displayed by Noldrei was too shocking, leaving the man with almost no ability to resist.

Even after they were put down, he remained motionless.

Noldrei asked, "What's your name?"

"Nakamura... Nakamura Shin."

Nakamura Shin knelt on the ground, his face covered in tears and sweat. It seemed that the previous scene had shocked him. It was hard to tell if it was because he had learned the woman's true nature, or because he had seen her true nature.

He looked rather pathetic trembling like that.

"Then why don't you accept her?"

Noldrei's question was rather strange. Any person with some ethical understanding would know the answer.

There were no rules in the world that were just a given, and naturally, no morals were a given either.

"Why? Because…"

Nakamura Shin shook his head. He didn't know why.

It showed that he cared about more than just the so-called body, or just simple love, but something vague and indistinct behind it.

What exactly was it?

He looked up at the man before him…

It wasn't a man. The chaos of his genetic information made it difficult for him to distinguish the man's appearance.

Noldrei's appearance was always a chaotic blur.

'How come I can't see what he looks like clearly?'

Nakamura Shin subconsciously looked at Raiden Mei, and he found he couldn't see Raiden Mei clearly either.

Noldrei had blurred his visual senses, making him perceive their appearance incorrectly.

But precisely because of this blur, Nakamura Shin had a much stronger impression of this person.

He looked up in a mixture of despair and excitement, his mind at the edge of collapse.

"Oh god! I beseech you, please turn me into a woman!"

"I want to have… I want to have the power you spoke of!"
