"So, the reason we're all here is entirely because Kevin, you encountered someone in the Quantum Sea capable of opening up a small world here and even creating creatures, each with the strength of at least a Judgement-class Honkai Beast. His own abilities also involve aspects of time and causality, which is how he pulled us from the second before our deaths to this present moment..." MEI pushed up the glasses on her face, looking at Kevin beside her, who had just finished explaining everything he had encountered. She took a deep breath and said, "If it were anyone else standing before me and not you, I'd definitely think they'd eaten something wrong today and were talking utter nonsense." "Indeed," Vill-V, the specialist in mechanical engineering among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, remarked. "This kind of ability is far more impressive than mere stage magic; it's practically on the level of true sorcery." "This sounds even more incredible than Honkai energy... Speaking of which, if that person can pull people from tens of thousands of years ago to the present, does that mean he can also send people from tens of thousands of years in the future to tens of thousands of years in the past?" Pardofelis, with her cat ears and tail, raised a crucial question. If such a thing were truly possible, then everyone would have infinite time to research how to defeat the Herrscher of the End, without being constantly chased by time as before. "Oh my, he sounds like such an incredible person," Elysia said, then looked at Mobius, who was not far off—petite yet exuding an enigmatic, demonic charm. At this moment, Mobius's expression was indeed rather gloomy. Mobius felt the gazes of everyone present turn to her. She sighed, then lifted her head to look at the illusory sun in the sky and cried out, "Damn you, Xin Yu! You didn't explain anything, just left a note and your so-called blood, and then you vanished without a trace! If I hadn't run into Kevin this time, would you have just forgotten about me completely? I suppose so. After all, to you, I'm just a dead person from a past point in time, hardly likely to earn your concern." "Perhaps you met many other people after me, helped many others, maybe even started a grand harem, and long ago tossed an old flame like me aside." Outside, Xin Yu, sensing someone calling his name, opened his eyes slightly, a helpless expression on his face. He then voluntarily stepped into the separate dimension where Kevin and the others were. Just as the others in the异时空 (yì shíkōng - separate dimension) were still bewildered by Mobius's outburst, Xin Yu's figure instantly appeared in their field of vision. "Apologies. I had to leave those messages back then because I wasn't certain about that matter. Afterwards, many things happened, and I did indeed neglect you." "I'm sorry, Mobius." Mobius looked at Xin Yu, who had appeared before her. His appearance hadn't changed, but the aura he exuded was completely different from when they had first met. The sarcastic, barbed words that had been on the tip of her tongue suddenly couldn't be voiced. Mobius reached out her hand towards Xin Yu. He leaned down, allowing her hand to touch his face. "...You've been through a lot, haven't you? It must have been hard." "What hardship could I have faced? Look, I'm even stronger than you now. I'm one step closer to fulfilling our promise. I even have someone I truly love, and someone who... well, could be considered a lover." "I'm very sorry, I'll have to make you wait a little longer, Mobius. Although I now have the strength to potentially face the Herrscher of the End, with my current power, I'm still no match for them. So, I still need some time to grow. You'll have to wait a bit more." "...You haven't changed a bit, Xin Yu. Our story was already set in stone in the past. No matter how much time passes, it holds no meaning for us. So, don't be anxious. I can afford to wait. Take it slow, alright? You really should stop and rest for a while." ...Who are you?! Why are you pretending to be Mobius?! Kalpas, his face hidden behind a mask and his temper extremely fiery, desperately wanted to shout these words. But then he remembered that, no matter what, the person opposite them was, at the very least, a benefactor. Ruining the atmosphere in this situation wouldn't be right. So, he forcefully suppressed the words in his throat. Elysia lightly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes wide as she watched the scene unfold, filled with excitement and a keen interest in uncovering some gossip. Aponia, clad in her nun's habit, carrying an immense and foreboding aura, gently closed her eyes, not looking directly at Xin Yu. If she were to gaze straight at him, she feared she wouldn't be able to resist probing his true essence, and her intuition screamed at her that doing so... would mean death. And Griseo, who had been pulled here from before the Ark Project was initiated and still looked like a child, watched the big brother in the distance with a puzzled expression. She couldn't clearly perceive his colors. It felt as if he possessed many colors, yet at the same time, it seemed as if those colors didn't exist, giving off an illusory sensation. "...Are those really words Mobius is capable of saying?" Ah, a certain little cat suddenly voiced her doubt. Mobius lowered her hand, turned slightly to the side, and looked at Pardofelis who had raised the question. That enigmatic smile reappeared on her face as she said, "Oh? So, you mean I look like someone who's completely incapable of saying comforting words, a blockhead who knows nothing but research?" In truth, Mobius, as one born with innate knowledge (生而知之者 - shēng ér zhī zhī zhě), naturally possessed no small talent in emotional intelligence. It was just that in the original timeline, she simply had no use for such things. But here, due to the changes brought by Xin Yu, the Mobius of the past, in order to hold onto this sole companion and superhuman, had painstakingly studied matters of emotion. And after successfully getting herself emotionally entangled, she had naturally also learned a thing or two about love. "Oh my! I never would have thought that my adorable Mobius would also fall in love! This is simply marvelous!" Elysia couldn't help but exclaim. She then looked at Xin Yu, who had stood up from the ground. Their eyes met for a moment. Xin Yu looked at Elysia. He felt she was a very pure person, someone who loved life, loved the things around her, and always maintained her passion. Elysia, on the other hand, felt that Xin Yu was less like a person and more like a god—a deity who responded to his surroundings, who responded to the emotions of others. "Hello, I am Xin Yu." "Hello! My name is Elysia! You can also call me Miss Pink Elf♪, okay!"
