Chapter 144: The Memory Constructs are Moved
Mobius fled in disarray. Although she still had many questions, with two Elyias present, she really couldn't stand the torture of being made into a cheese sandwich.
Elysia and the Realm Elysia, however, were chatting happily. There was no "like repels like" situation here. As a phileozoan, loving herself wasn't out of the question; both of them were just so beautiful. But if it had been the Realm Snake meeting the big snake, the first thought would have been to eliminate the other. There only needed to be one Mobius.
"Kenji, can you tell us apart? Which of the two of us is your Ellie ♪?"
The two, identical in appearance, clothes, and voice, spoke in unison. Even their expressions were the same. Anyone else would have been truly unable to distinguish them.
"You are, of course."
"Ah ♪!"
With a cry of surprise from Elysia, Kenji swept her into his arms. The Realm Elysia covered her eyes with her hands, peeking curiously at the scene through the gaps in her fingers. Tsk, tsk, tsk. My other self actually has a boyfriend. How unexpected. I ship it ♪.
Shipping oneself with oneself... She was Elysia, so she understood Elysia's thoughts. After all, this way, she could get close to even more cute girls.
"My, my, there are other people watching ♪" Elysia blushed.
As soon as she said it, Himeko and the others turned their heads with perfect coordination, as if to say, Please continue. Just pretend we don't exist.
The Realm Elysia vanished directly. Such an interesting event, of course she had to go and find Eden and the others.
"Ellie, have you gotten fatter?" Kenji asked, holding Elysia. The warm, soft jade in his arms felt... fleshier than before. He patted her little tummy. It felt even better now, soft and plump.
"Ah ♪?" Elysia was taken aback. Had she not been controlling her weight recently?
"It's fine. You're just as comfortable to hug as before," Kenji said with a smile.
"Ellie, as you said, this is indeed a very interesting scene."
Tour Guide Ellie, holding a pink megaphone, arrived with a group of Flame-Chaser memory constructs. The one who had spoken was an elegant and dignified woman, shining like gold.
Two Ellies, double the happiness~ Eden thought to herself.
The other Flame-Chasers were all in a state of shock. Had their data short-circuited? A man was hugging Elysia, and Elysia wasn't resisting. They had to be dreaming.
In the backstage of the Elysian Realm, another flawless being was frantically adjusting the Realm's parameters. Who are these stowaways in the Elysian Realm?! This damn workload! Klein did not want to work overtime!
"Hi ♪! Hello, everyone! I'm Elysia, Herrscher of Human, Herrscher of Origin, and also Kenji's girlfriend." Being stared at by so many people, Elysia quickly broke free from Kenji's embrace. It felt a bit like a public execution.
"A Herrscher?" Kalpas looked at Elysia, but he wasn't as violent as when he saw other Herrschers. They all trusted Elysia. Of those present, only the few who had participated in the final banquet knew the details.
"Other me, you have other Herrscher Cores inside your body, you know ♪" the Realm Elysia said with a meaningful smile. She could sense the aura of other cores. How magical. Could you really do that?
"I'm a multi-core Herrscher now. I have the cores of four other Herrschers. Kenji told me to try absorbing all the Herrscher Cores before the Herrscher of Finality. Perhaps some kind of wonderful change will occur," Elysia said, performing the act of pulling something from her own heart. The cores of Reason, Void, Thunder, and Wind were in her hand, shining with different colored lights.
Although they were speechless at this "hot-swapping" behavior, no one was unmoved by the sight of four Herrscher Cores.
"This one is also a multi-core Herrscher," Kenji said, pointing at Kiana.
Kiana didn't deny it. It was true that there was more than one Herrscher Core inside her body.
SWISH!
The Realm Elysia and the others all turned their gazes to Kevin. That hair color and eye color... if someone told them Kiana had no relation to him, they wouldn't believe a single word.
Kevin was silent. Only silence.
"A Herrscher... with humanity ♪?" the Realm Elysia looked at Kiana, her eyes filled with surprise and joy.
"So, is this your answer?" Kevin asked, looking at Elysia. To gather the cores of twelve Herrschers... it was an unbelievable idea, but it was feasible. Another way to defeat the Honkai.
Hua looked at Himeko, a nostalgic look in her eyes. She looked a lot like Captain HIMEKO, but she wasn't her.
"If Elysia can't succeed, I will step in," Kenji said, patting his chest. "By the way, Kevin, please eat this." Kenji took out Dr. MEI's special cooking.
Kevin: "..."
Su: "..."
Seeing the familiar dish, the two of them fell silent. Wasn't this MEI's cooking? It must have been from the MEI on Elysia's side.
"Thank you." Kevin picked up a piece and began to chew it, his expression unchanging, only his brow twitching slightly. Although it was disgusting, for Kevin, it was full of memories. This familiar taste... he had had to get his stomach pumped because of it back in the day.
"Rin, aren't you going to show yourself?"
"!"
Sakura was stunned, and the faces of the other Flame-Chasers all changed. They all knew about Rin.
"Mm." Rin constructed a body from data and looked at her older sister with a complicated expression.
"Rin, your ears?" Sakura looked at her younger sister. When did she also undergo the MANTIS surgery?
"It is but a little wind and frost," Rin said, her tone mature beyond her years. Given her experiences, she had the right to speak with such a demeanor. "Sister, let's go talk over there." Rin took Sakura's hand. The two sisters needed to have a private chat.
"The Key of Corruption... you've really brought a rather dangerous item into the Elysian Realm," Vill-V said meaningfully. If Kenji and his group were enemies, the current situation would be extremely critical.
"So, you're not just here to see us, are you?"
Kenji pulled Kiana in front of him and said, "This is Kevin's descendant. Because of the interference of the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness, she can't properly use its authority."
"Does she require the trials of the Elysian Realm?" Kevin asked, looking at Kiana. His calm gaze made Kiana feel immense pressure, a pressure even a Herrscher couldn't compare to.
"Um... there is a familiar consciousness on Kiana," Hua suddenly said.
"Sigh..."
With a sigh, Fu Hua's figure appeared. She looked at the people before her. They felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember them.
"Little guinea pig, why is your consciousness so weak?" Mobius frowned. The regenerative abilities of the Garuda MANTIS were very strong. What kind of severe injury had she sustained to have to possess Kiana's body?
"You are..." Fu Hua tried her best to think, but besides a sense of familiarity, she couldn't grasp anything.
"Have you burned that many memories?" Vill-V murmured to herself. This was the authority of the Edge of Taixuan. What had Fu Hua been through? Was it just bad luck?
"Hua, sync your memories with her," Mobius said, looking at the Realm Hua.
Hua nodded and led Fu Hua aside to talk. She was a little puzzled. 50,000 years have passed. Even excluding the time in the cryo-pod, her body should have developed a little, right? Why is she still so flat?
