Chapter 367 - I, Mobius, am simply trapped to death

"Is this really a... door?"

Klein raised her small hand, her long white sleeve trailing on the ground, and rubbed her eyes. She tried hard to widen her eyes, which were framed by huge dark circles, and examined the strange, colorful pixel blocks flashing in front of her.

As an Armed ELF meticulously designed by Mobius, although she didn't have too many additions in terms of combat, due to the need for auxiliary work, Mobius had incorporated various pieces of the most advanced Previous Era equipment into her from the very beginning of her design—and this naturally included scanning devices.

"It's not Honkai energy, but an Imaginary energy flow. The spatial structure is changing... Searching the database, no matching data found. Fuzzy matching results: Bubble Universe? Parallel world?"

Even Klein's feeble voice could hardly conceal the shock in the heart of this relic of the Previous Era at this moment.

What in the world did Miss Silver Wing and Rin do!?

The Elysian Realm's model was transforming toward a structure suspected to be a Bubble Universe. The most crucial part was that it had actually started to interact with the real world; data—had materialized into a world!

How could this be possible?

"It can't be called a door yet, just a gap that we chiseled open."

Silver Wing answered Klein's first question.

Within the Elysian Realm, gazing at the shattered spatial barrier and the colorful pixel blocks flashing with a strange light, Elysia's sandalwood-like mouth parted slightly, her peach-blossom-like cute and pretty face full of surprise.

"Was that just now...?"

"Klein's voice."

Mobius spoke with absolute certainty. She would absolutely never mishear Klein's voice. The problem was that the voice didn't transmit into the Elysian Realm through the system as it usually did.

Instead, it came from the opposite side of this spatial gap, which meant...

"The opposite side of the gap is the real world!?"

Sakura suddenly widened her eyes.

Silver Wing's previously abrupt actions and the changes that occurred in Rin left her brain unable to process it all. Her thoughts were somewhat chaotic, unable to understand what the two of them were doing.

After all, during the Previous Era, she positioned herself as a sharp blade. A weapon only needed to kill; it didn't need to think about why it killed.

When Dr. MEI discussed scientific research projects with Mobius, Vill-V, and the others, Sakura also never cared about the process. She wouldn't understand it anyway, so just accepting the results was fine.

It wasn't until this moment that she finally understood what kind of situation Silver Wing and her own younger sister had created. Even with Sakura's indifferent personality, she felt a strong surge of emotion and found it unimaginable.

As the Herrscher of Corruption, Rin being able to let the Flame-Chaser memory entities temporarily leave the Elysian Realm was something Sakura could understand. In fact, within the past four months, she had also gone out with Rin once.

But intertwining and linking data with reality was truly unfathomable!

Could they even accomplish something like this?

Realizing the reality currently unfolding, the Flame-Chaser girls one after another cast their gazes toward Silver Wing and the tachi radiating cool, divine light in her hands.

As well as the other Flame-Chasers who arrived subsequently. One was a beautiful girl with light flaxen-blonde and chestnut long hair, bearing an obvious cyberpunk mechanical style.

Vill-V walked over while clapping her hands: "Oh my! Brilliant! Truly brilliant! To perform a miraculous magic trick without inviting guests in advance, Silver Wing, this isn't what a qualified magician does!"

The high-pitched and enthusiastic tone proved that the Vill-V currently in control of the body was the Great Magician.

"I never said I wanted to be a magician. Before, it was just meeting my match, so I temporarily made a guest performance."

Silver Wing bowed elegantly.

Over the course of four months, Silver Wing had become a familiar face to every Flame-Chaser, and the ones she was most familiar with were undoubtedly Elysia and Sakura.

Next was the snake, Mobius, who served as both a target of persecution and a friend. Of course, Mobius herself denied the friend relationship.

Her interactions with Vill-V weren't numerous, primarily because she had eight personalities. She wasn't like Black and 'White' Seele, who both paid attention to the outside world simultaneously and switched at will; her condition was closer to true dissociative identity disorder.

"However, why did you run over here as well? Last time, I heard the Expert say that the output of the Anti-Kevin Weapon · Model 4396 was too low, and she was going into seclusion to design the Anti-Kevin Weapon · Model 4397?"

Silver Wing had been stunned the first time she heard the serial number of the Anti-Kevin Weapon.

The Expert's answer was also very simple: there were only the thirteen of them inside the Elysian Realm. In such a long amount of time, not making something would be a waste of life.

So just design Anti-Kevin Weapons!

"And Dr. Mobius, aren't you doing your experiments?"

Mobius gave Silver Wing a sidelong glance, her pretty face revealing a look of obvious disgust:

"You chiseled open the walls of someone's home. If it were you, could you sit there with peace of mind?"

To the Flame-Chasers, the Elysian Realm was like a house to ordinary people. Silver Wing chiseling open a spatial barrier leading to reality was equivalent to a guest in your home suddenly standing up and slashing open a gap in the alloy wall with a single strike.

Anyone would be shocked by the momentum of this house-demolishing act, then come over to take a look, suspecting that the guest in front of them was an alien from the Alpha Centauri system.

The feelings an ordinary person would have when facing this incident were the exact feelings the Flame-Chasers had when facing Silver Wing right now.

Silver Wing shrugged noncommittally:

"If it were me, I would politely make the hole a bit bigger for them, and then install a new door. With an extra door in the house, it would be much more convenient to go out."

"Heh, then you really are... Hmm!?"

Instinctively wanting to bicker and argue with Silver Wing, Mobius suddenly realized the metaphor hidden in her words, and her expression immediately changed.

"Go out? Are you saying...?"

She felt as though the true intentions were finally being revealed.

"Elysia, do you think Mobius looks better in a pink little dress? Or a blue-gray little dress?"

Silver Wing didn't answer, smilingly tossing a multiple-choice question to the pink fatty beside her.

Miss Fairy blinked her large, beautiful eyes, understanding instantly, and clenched her small fists:

"Only children make choices; a cute and beautiful Miss Fairy naturally wants them all!"

"Did you hear that? Dr. Mobius."

Silver Wing broke into a wide smile.

"Damn it! I, Mobius, would rather die trapped in the Elysian Realm, have my data deleted, than absolutely ever wear those dresses of yours in exchange for a chance to go out!"

The snake was furious!

"Alright, alright, Dr. Mobius has an iron will."

Silver Wing's tone was like coaxing a child who hadn't managed to snatch any candy and was also being bullied, while simultaneously sensing the changes in the surrounding spatial environment.

Transforming the Elysian Realm into a Digital World, even an initial-form Digital World, was a vast and magnificent project. It was absolutely not something a newly born god could complete in a short amount of time.

Thanks to the Elysian Realm being a local area network and a completely independent server, the transformation time wouldn't be too long, but it would take at least two or three months, and that was under the condition of working around the clock.

Rin's life level had changed, but her own energy level had not.

The only difference from weapon evolution in the Honkai Impact 3rd game was that the level of the evolved weapon would not reset to one, but inherit its original level. The Divine Awakening only raised the weapon's attribute limits and added new Authorities.

Leylah also had special abilities when she awakened previously.

However, although a yo-yo was a Curio, Curios could be strong or weak, bizarre and eccentric. Their characteristics lay not in combat power, but in their own peculiar properties.

Take Stelle's Galaxy Bat, for example. Whether in terms of attack power or functionality, it couldn't compare to an exclusive weapon possessing a Herrscher Core, a weapon spirit, and being a one-in-twelve limited edition on the entire Earth Online server.

The unique trait of the Galaxy Bat was its hardness; it was incomparably sturdy. An attack that could snap the Jizo Mitama might not necessarily break the bat.

The characteristics of the yo-yo were its intrinsic hardness and the infinite length of its string. A casual throw could keep it spinning for years—a technique termed 'Sleep'.

Several years was the testing duration at the Herta Space Station, and they still hadn't observed any signs of it stopping its Sleep.

Reflected on Leylah, this manifested as constitution and stamina. Her constitution was only slightly inferior to a Stellaron spirit, and her stamina was infinite.

What did infinite stamina mean?

It meant that with Leylah recklessly demanding, Caelus couldn't even get out of bed!

Considering Leylah's excessively clingy personality and infinite stamina, Caelus had almost suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest back then. Fortunately, there was more to it.

The Authority of [Infinite Stamina] could also feed back to her master, Caelus. Just by engaging in bodily fluid exchange, she could supply mana... replenish Caelus's stamina. Caelus's female body and Stelle could also benefit.

But it didn't have this effect on other people.

This was truly the meaning of "just when things seem hopeless, a new path appears"!

However, it was necessary to note that infinite stamina did not equate to spirit, qi, and mind, nor the power of the Path. It leaned more toward supplementing the body's physical condition, accompanied by a minor energy replenishment and the healing of minor injuries.

Perhaps Leylah could be considered a humanoid Senzu Bean. The recovery effect was relatively singular compared to a real Senzu Bean, but it was still quite a good Authority.

After all, Leylah was also a newly born god. Once Caelus fed her a few Soul Crystals, the effects of the Authority should strengthen accordingly.

Soul Crystals!

Soul Crystals!

Caelus was currently in desperate need of this stuff. Various badges and Divine Awakening weapons all required Soul Crystals to cultivate.

Unfortunately, aside from the gacha pulls, there were no other channels to obtain Soul Crystals.

Training his realm slowly by himself was too superficial; how could it compare to the solid foundation of just cheating his way up!

In short, calculating based on the current power of Rin and Silver Wing, it would take roughly two months to transform the Elysian Realm into a nascent Digital World.

Considering the various situations that could be encountered in the midst of a massive project, it might even double.

This wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight.

"Rin, with your current power, roughly how many memory entities can you support in combat?"

Silver Wing looked at the god who had rematerialized into the cherry-pink-haired, single-ponytail fox-eared girl.

"Hmm, if Sister Elysia is included among them, then I can only support two."

Rin thought seriously for a moment before giving her answer.

The Authority of [Memory] could allow memory entities to leave the Elysian Realm and operate in the outside world for long periods, and even replicate the memory entities' original power. Of course, not all of it.

"Alright, then Elysia and Sakura, let's go play in New Zealand together~"

After all, facing the Herrscher of Wind who fought one against three—Finality, Origin, and Truth—Silver Wing felt she needed to show Miss Wendy some respect by bringing along [Ego] and [Setsuna].
