Indeed, the only way to persuade Dr. MEI was Kevin.
The only person she couldn't let go of was Kevin, or rather, the only person she felt she had wronged.
Perhaps she was truly tired; Dr. MEI originally didn't want to live another life, but for Kevin, she chose to sign the contract.
However, a serious Dr. MEI was truly not someone Takatsuki could contend with.
With just a few words, she dug out Takatsuki's background, and kept the wish he was supposed to promise, waiting until the future to help her deal with Kevin's matters, even writing it into the contract.
However, speaking of it, the other Flame-Chasers didn't make wishes with Takatsuki, nor did they write them into the contract, which could be considered a huge advantage for him.
"You think so, don't you?"
Looking at the green-haired loli in front of him, her now turbid snake eyes did not affect her clear thinking; even though her life had entered a countdown, she still maintained clear speech.
"Not really. What's owed now will eventually be repaid in the future, so do you have a wish you want to make by saving yourself for last?"
After seeing Dr. MEI off, the last one was Mobius.
With the Finality already activated, she, like Eden, had stepped out of her hibernation pod, and at this moment, she was only a few minutes from death.
"A wish, huh…"
Mobius leaned against the ground; at this point, she had completely lost all semblance of dignity.
"If Heroic Spirits are truly as you say, then is that a form of infinity?"
Regarding this question.
"I don't know, because I don't pursue infinity. The only thing I can say is that this world is inherently infinite."
Takatsuki looked at Mobius in front of him and added, "I'm not talking about bubble universes, but worlds beyond this world, beyond Honkai, beyond the Imaginary Tree."
"Infinite worlds? That's also a good kind of infinity."
Although Mobius was talking to Takatsuki, she showed no intention of signing the contract.
"You don't have much time left, do you? Are you really not going to sign the contract?"
When Takatsuki arrived at this time period, he discovered that his time stop had no effect on Mobius and the others.
At this moment, the Finality had already begun to operate, and the authority of the Finality inherently controlled time and reincarnation.
Therefore, stopping time could not prevent Mobius's life from flowing away.
"Are you trying to commit suicide? I remember that the you in Elysian Realm seemed to have done something to you when you synchronized your memories."
Takatsuki looked at Mobius and recalled the plot of Elysian Realm he had seen before.
"Of course I know. How could I not understand myself?"
Takatsuki's words only made Mobius scoff, "This world doesn't need two Mobiuses. After seeing the Finality, I understood that this is the last infinity I leave for her."
"The last infinity…"
Takatsuki looked at Mobius in front of him. At this moment, Mobius and the images Takatsuki had seen in his memories merged together.
"So that's why you went to see Prometheus 17."
Takatsuki found Mobius in front of Prometheus 17 after arriving at this time.
She was talking to Prometheus 17 at the time, and from their conversation, Takatsuki learned the plot he hadn't understood in the game in his previous life.
That is, the so-called Will of Honkai was Prometheus 17; it was her reason that fixed the future Herrscher to be the same as the Previous Era.
And Mobius's long, ambiguous conversation with Prometheus 17 was not without meaning.
The stubborn little snake was, to be honest, a bit cute.
Even if the Previous Era was destroyed, the little snake's mouth would probably remain.
"What can determine her future is not Mei, nor me, but herself. I merely told her some things she already knew, helping her see her own infinity."
Mobius uncharacteristically did not deny Takatsuki's words. Takatsuki also didn't say much on this topic, but instead said, "Since this world doesn't need two Mobiuses, then go to other worlds."
As Takatsuki's words fell, a new clause was updated on the contract in front of Mobius.
"Infinite worlds, huh? That's also a good choice."
Looking at the newly appeared clause, Mobius slowly closed her eyes.
The authority of the Finality finally took the life of this Flame-Chasers.
And just as she closed her eyes, the contract floating from her hand slowly developed a scorched mark, as if it had been burned.
And that mark coincidentally formed a familiar name.
"I didn't expect that the authority of the Finality would actually be time."
Before crossing over in his previous life, Takatsuki hadn't seen the ending of Honkai Impact 3rd. Although he had guesses and had seen many speculations online before, now that it was truly confirmed, Takatsuki realized how terrifying the authority of the Finality was.
But…
There's a problem!
Definitely a problem!
Takatsuki could clearly feel that there was a problem with the authority of the Finality.
The power of time he himself could control originated from the character cards in the system.
So, in reality, his control over this power should not be very proficient, but he could feel that the Finality's use of time power was even more unfamiliar than his own.
It was as if it wasn't an inherent ability it possessed, but rather it forcefully pushed some mechanism with its terrifyingly vast Honkai Energy to create the current effect.
However, Takatsuki couldn't stay here any longer.
As Mobius signed the contract, Takatsuki's body also began to gradually disappear, leaving this era.
Thus, the Previous Era, along with Takatsuki's departure, and the authority of the Finality, ended here.
And Takatsuki returned to his room.
"So that's it. It was because of Dr. MEI's plan that the Herrscher of the two eras were the same."
Takatsuki didn't know this, but at this moment, through Mobius, he also recalled some things he had overlooked.
For example, the Fourth Herrscher…
Wendy.
Because it hadn't reached the original time yet, he had overlooked this matter.
The game started in the second half of 2016, and there were still two years until then.
Because of his appearance, the big three, who were supposed to spend three happy years at the academy, had their acceleration button pressed.
Not only were they stronger and more mature than in the original history due to going to other worlds, but they also realized early on the burdens they carried.
"I hope Wendy hasn't been sent for experimentation yet."
Although he said this, Takatsuki didn't remember a student named Wendy at the academy.
After all, he never took roll call in class, adhering to a completely hands-off approach.
Although Wendy had no direct relation to him, he still wanted to give this girl a good ending.
