91 So... Goodbye, Elysia!

"I'm... Dead?" Fu Hua was puzzled, but greatly shocked.

She found herself glued to the screen, her eyes wide as she watched a game herself crumple to the ground, defeated at the feet of the formidable Herrscher of the Void. The scene was surreal, almost as if she was an outsider looking in on her own life.

she watched Otto spit out his plan in front of her, and watched the shots converge on her head.

She couldn't help but clench her hands, and inexplicably, she wanted to punch the man in the game so hard.

Listening to his appalling plan, and the final Himeko stance, she sighed.

The game... Herself, had nothing changed either? is she still the same Fu Hua?

...

As the sun rose and set, marking the passage of two days, the world outside was abuzz with chatter. The topic of discussion was the Queen's descent and the final lesson, events that had stirred the hearts of many.

In elysian realm separate from the ordinary world, things were changing. The changes reflected what was happening in the outside world.

On a grand stage, under the spotlight, stood Vill-V, With a triumphant air, she announced, "Celebrate, for I, the great Vill-V, have developed a product that transcends generations!" Her voice echoed through the vast expanse, her hands raised high in the air, signaling her victory.

Elysia, who shared the stage with Vill-V, responded with a hearty laugh and a round of applause. "Wow! So great, Vill-V." Her words were filled with admiration. The Heroes standing beside her, however, had varied reactions, their faces reflecting a mix of emotions.

Mobius, who had been working with Vill-V, was worried. She asked, "Vill-V, what else can it do?" She trusted Vill-V, but more than her ability, she believed in her level of screwing up.

Vill-V wasn't bothered by Mobius's doubts. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dr. Mobius. I promise you." She looked surprised and tried to wink to show she was harmless. She said, "I've made this device better. It can help when other Heroes use the power of the stigmata!" She sounded confident and promised a future where everyone could help each other.

With a soft chuckle, Mobius responded to Vill-V's declaration. "Huh!" she exclaimed, her laughter echoing in the silence that followed. She chose not to say anything more, leaving her thoughts unspoken.

For the past two days, Mobius had been working closely with Vill-V. Only God knew the extent of her efforts and the challenges she faced during this period. She had her doubts about Vill-V's methods, especially when it came to the device they were working on. Mobius couldn't help but question whether the time Vill-V spent adding all those peculiar features to the device had actually exceeded the time it took to complete it.

Meanwhile, Sakura, who was standing beside Mobius, voiced her surprise. "So that means we can get out already?" she asked, her eyes wide with anticipation. She was eager to step outside and explore the world, want to look God key that have her sister soul.

Sakura's situation was different from what the other Heroes had imagined. She had long since discovered the truth about her own dead. When crucial memories were missing from her recollection, how could she not harbor suspicions? Why would she willingly grasp the sharp edge of a blade when its protective sheath was no longer there?

Despite the lack of clarity about the process, Sakura had come to a stark realization. The individual she had been striving to protect had already passed away, She didn't know why, but she understood the sad truth.

With a twinkle in her eyes, Vill-V announced, "Well, we're just one step away from completion!" She gently nudged the device towards Elysia, her movements filled with anticipation.

Mobius, standing nearby, chimed in with a playful tone, "Heh, here!" She extended her hand, offering Elysia the Stigmata card.

Elysia, the pink-haired girl, accepted the card with a sense of curiosity. She then reached for the device that was set aside, her fingers brushing against its cool surface.

"Hmm… It's a bit heavy," Elysia remarked, her brows furrowing slightly as she weighed the device in her hand. Her voice was filled with intrigue.

Turning her attention to Mobius, she asked, "Speaking of which, Mobius, have you researched anything about this card?" Her question hung in the air, awaiting a response.

Mobius answered with a joke, "Thanks to you, the answer: absolutely nothing yet!" She was frustrated.

Elysia was surprised by Mobius's answer. She said, "What does that have to do with me!" She was upset. "Don't blame everything on the cute pink Elf-sama!" she crossed his arms

Mobius, in an attempt to explain, said, "The power trait in this stigma is too special and there's absolutely no possibility of reproducing it. Are you satisfied?" Her words were direct, leaving no room for misinterpretation.

Elysia, however, chose to interpret Mobius's words differently. "Wow, are you… Complimenting me for being unique? I'm so happy!" She laughed, her eyes sparkling with delight as she nodded in agreement.

Mobius was frustrated. She said, "… Making a fool of yourself. Hurry up and put that stigma on!" She was surprised that Elysia could turn her words into compliments. 

Elysia, her brows furrowed in confusion, asked, "Just load it right on? But aren't we mere memories?" Her voice echoed with uncertainty, reflecting her struggle to comprehend the complex process.

Mobius, in an attempt to clarify, explained, "I've processed it so that if you interact with it, the machine will reverse-construct the physical body in the form of stigmata." Her words were simple, yet they carried the weight of her extensive knowledge and expertise.

Luo Mo, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't hide his surprise. "And you call that not much research?" he questioned, his tone filled with disbelief. "To be able to complete the flesh construction so simply..."

Mebius, however, had a different perspective. "When I say a little research, I mean we can't make another stigma. We can't make it again." Her expression was somber, It was clear that she had expected more from their efforts.

Luo Mo, still skeptical, voiced his doubts. "… You guys, are you really studying out wholeheartedly?" He questioned their commitment, his gaze shifting between Vill-V, who remained silent, and Mebius, who was engrossed in her research.

Vill-V wasn't bothered by Luo Mo. She was excited and said, "Don't talk about that much, hurry up, I want to go out and look around too!"

With a gentle motion, Elysia moved the card onto her back. As soon as the card made contact with her skin, a subtle transformation seemed to ripple through her body. It was a change that was hard to pinpoint - her figure remained the same, her clothes unchanged,

She looked the same, but she felt different.

But People in the crowd could tell she was different, They were amazed by the change.

Elysia, too, felt the change. "What a… A completely different experience!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with wonder. She ran her fingers over her clothes, feeling an unfamiliar power coursing through her. It was a power she recognized, yet it was slightly different from the strength she possessed at her peak.

Intrigued by the transformation, Elysia mused aloud, "Also, it feels like my clothes can change! I'll try oh?" Without waiting for Luo Mo to dissuade her, she decided to test her newfound ability.

As she focused her thoughts, a brilliant white light enveloped her. When the light faded, she stood resplendent in a white flower wedding gown. A white silk scarf was draped over her head, its pristine color contrasting beautifully with her pink hair.

In her hand, she held a long magic wand, its tip sparkling with an otherworldly glow. Flanking the wand were two bells, each adorned with delicate wings. They looked like flower girls, one holding a strand of her long hair, the other clutching her veil.

With a graceful lift of her hand, Elysia made the magic wand disappear. As she did so, she too seemed to fade away, leaving behind a sense of wonder and a memory of her radiant transformation.

With a radiant smile on her face, Elysia twirled around, her movements as graceful as a ballet dancer. Her white gown billowed out, dancing in the gentle breeze. "Wow, how was it!?" she asked, her voice filled with anticipation.

Eden, watching her with admiration, responded, "Ellie, you're as beautiful as ever!" her words were sincere, "This dress also looks like déjà vu, it should have been designed by me personally," she added.

Pardo, too, was captivated by Elysia's transformation. "Wow, Sister Ellie, we haven't seen you wear such beautiful clothes!" her eyes sparkled with excitement, darting from one detail of the dress to another, this dress must be worth a lot of money!

However, Mobius, ever the pragmatist, interrupted the cozy atmosphere. "Well, don't stay there," she said impatiently, her tone a stark contrast to the warm exchanges of a moment ago. "We're going out today, Elysia. Put the power of the Stigma into the device and connect them!"

Elysia, complying with Mobius's instructions, responded, "Okay, lovely Mobius." She then changed back into her original attire, her wedding gown replaced by her usual clothes. "This outfit… It's a bit of a shy one, better to wear it on a grand occasion!" she mused

With a deep breath, she focused her energy, controlling the flow of power. The device in her hand began to shimmer, its glow intensifying before gradually fading and stabilizing. As she did so, several invisible chains emanated from the device, weaving together to construct physical bodies for the Heroes.

In a flash, all the Heroes materialized, their forms solidifying in the blink of an eye. The transformation was complete!

Elysia, feeling a sudden drain in her energy, turned to Mobius with a puzzled expression. "Mobius, how come I feel like only 20% of the power in my body is left?" she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. She was struggling to comprehend the sudden change, her mind racing to find an explanation.

Vill-V, who had been observing the scene from a distance, decided to step in. She cast a glance at the crowd gathered in the corner, their faces filled with anticipation as they bid farewell to their comrades. "I naturally joined Kevin and others who chose to stay in the Elysian realm," she explained, her voice steady and reassuring. "Now, at this distance, you've constructed their physical bodies as well."

In the corner, Kevin clenched his fists, his eyes closed in deep thought. He broke the silence with a soft murmur "It's been a long time."

He want said goodbye to Elysia now so he did

With a heavy heart, he bid his farewell, "So... Goodbye, Elysia!" He was sad. (really sad)

Elysia, however, responded with a cheerful tone. "Hmm! Bye, Kevin, remember to miss me! And I'll get you all out of here later, trust me oh Wah, Aponia!"

With a final smile and wave, Elysia turned around. Accompanied by a few other Heroes and Luo Mo, she walked away, leaving behind the ethereal realm of Elysia. As they disappeared into the distance.
