Something only Elysia can do?

Luo Mo, a man of profound knowledge and understanding, was well aware that the Flame-Chasers were not easily deceived. He knew that their advanced technology had allowed them to observe and explore an innumerable amount of parallel worlds, yet their efforts had always resulted in disappointment, their hands returning empty each time.

Elysia, on the other hand, found herself in a state of confusion. "Uh huh??" she muttered, her mind spinning as she tried to grasp the complex concepts being discussed. The information was beyond her current level of understanding, making it difficult for her to comprehend.

Snakes, retreated slightly, her eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. "Say!" he demanded, eager to hear more about Luo Mo's unique perspective.

"I saw this world from a higher dimension," Luo Mo began, his voice steady and calm. "And it's not quite the same as the parallel worlds you perceive."

He continued to explain his theory, using an analogy to make it easier to understand. "Let's put it this way, on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, it is two branches growing from the same branch. At a cutoff point, it is artificially split in two, and time breaks off from there." (random bullshit go!!)

Mobius seemed intrigued by Luo Mo's explanation. "The Tree of Imaginary Numbers? Interesting statement, in this world time is irreversible, but in higher dimensions time is no more than movable like distance." her eyes sparkled with newfound understanding.

"Cute little mouse, I'm more interested in you, go on…" Mobius encouraged Luo Mo, eager to hear more about his fascinating theories and insights.

Elysia found herself utterly lost in the conversation. "???" she muttered, her mind a whirlwind of confusion. She didn't understand anything that was being discussed, and it showed. She scratched her head in bewilderment, but didn't have the courage to voice her confusion out loud.

Luo Mo, on the other hand, remained silent. His expression was one of slight perplexity, unsure of how to explain his complex theories in a way that Elysia could understand. His main objective for coming here was to meet the Flame-Chasers, not to delve into lengthy explanations about his abilities.

He had hoped that by leveraging the information gap, he could persuade the Flame-Chasers to assist him. However, he had no intention of revealing his true identity or abilities unless they were willing to help him in return.

With this in mind, Luo Mo spoke up, his voice thoughtful. "The next thing is about some of my secrets, if I were to go on…"

Mobius tilted her head to look at him, her eyes growing slightly colder. "What do you want?" she asked, her tone icy.

But Luo Mo chose to ignore her. He knew that what he needed, Mobius couldn't provide. His gaze remained steady, his mind already planning the next steps.

Luo Mo's gaze settled on Elysia, the young girl with vibrant pink hair. The silence in the room was palpable, and Elysia, having emerged from her state of confusion, could feel it. She glanced at Luo Mo and Mobius, only to find both of them staring at her.

Remembering Luo Mo's words and considering the current situation, she pointed a delicate, onion-white index finger at herself in surprise. "Me!?" she exclaimed, her voice echoing in the quiet room.

"Although I know I'm a bit cuter, but at my expense, it won't work!?" she added, her tone playful rather than angry. She folded her arms, a small smile playing on her lips as she puffed out her chest in a show of confidence, making a victory gesture in front of Mobius.

Mobius, however, was unimpressed. "Cut," she said, her eyes growing colder.

Luo Mo quickly shook his head, trying to clarify the situation. "Uh… No, no," he stammered, "This is something that only Elysia can do just now."

"Only her?" Mobius frowned, disbelief evident in her eyes. "Tell me about it?" she demanded, unable to believe that Elysia, whom she saw as nothing more than a 'fat pink woman', could do something that she, Mobius, couldn't.

Suddenly, a figure materialized out of thin air. "That's right, that's something I can't pretend I didn't hear!" she declared, her voice echoing in the room. She was Vill-V, a character known for her unique style and flamboyant personality.

Dressed in an outfit that was a blend of magic and machinery, she stood out with her distinctive attire. Her clothes were adorned with intricate patterns of gears, giving her the appearance of a mechanical magician. A bowler hat, a signature accessory of magicians, rested on her gray hair, adding to her eccentric look.

With a flourish, she removed her hat and offered a slight bow. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement, as if she had stumbled upon something intriguing. A wild, unrestrained smile spread across her face, reflecting her adventurous spirit.

Vill-V was no ordinary individual. She was the bearer of the Inscription of the Spiral, a title that signified her exceptional abilities. She was a renowned engineer and mechanic, and by her own admission, a great magician. In every sense of the word, she was extraordinary.

Her genius was unparalleled, making her one of the greatest treasures of the former civilization. She was the mastermind behind the design of most of the existing God's Keys, a feat that put her on par with the genius of Mobius.

Upon hearing Vill-V's words, the pink goblin, Elysia, couldn't contain her joy. "Look, I'm so happy that someone recognizes me like that!?" she exclaimed, her voice filled with delight.

"So what is it, no one else can do it but me??" she asked, eager to know more about this unique task that only she could accomplish.

Luo Mo, unperturbed by Velvet's unexpected arrival, calmly laid out his terms. "… Gather all the Flame-Chasers, I want to have a quiet talk with you all," he stated, his voice steady and composed. He added another condition, "Don't fight in the meantime," as if throwing out a casual suggestion.

The atmosphere grew tense and silent, the only sound being the soft rustling of leaves as a gentle breeze swept through the area. Both Luo Mo and Velvet, two geniuses in their own right, remained quiet, each lost in their own thoughts.

Suddenly, Vill-V decided to retreat from the scene. "Excuse me!" she exclaimed, her voice echoing in the silence as she moved away.

Mobius, on the other hand, couldn't hide her irritation. "Cut!" she snapped, her tone sharp. However, the defiance that usually marked her features was noticeably absent.

Elysia, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, couldn't help but smile. "Whoa! Wasn't that," she began, her voice filled with excitement and a hint of nervousness, "rather simple!" She had always wanted an excuse to gather everyone for a casual get-together, whether it was for a cup of tea or a round-table discussion.

However, she quickly dismissed the idea of serving instant noodles at such a gathering. "Hmm… But let's not have that kind of thing with instant noodles," she mused, her mind already planning the menu.

As she contemplated the day's events, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. "It's really Ellie's lucky day!" she thought to herself, her heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming gathering.

.....

World Serpent Headquarters.

Gray Snake and Dodo are present, their attention focused on Fu Hua, who is immersed in a nutrient bin. The green solution envelops her, its purpose to aid in her recovery.

As Fu Hua lies there, her body healing, she experiences the resurgence of old memories. These recollections from her past, featuring figures like Fuxi and Nuwa, wash over her like waves, leaving only faint traces behind. She tries to grasp these fleeting memories, to recall every detail, but the more she tries, the more elusive they become, eventually leaving her with nothing but emptiness.

Meanwhile, Gray Snake is busy operating the nutrient bin, all the while fielding questions from Dodo. "So you're still letting me go? Aren't you worried that I won't make it back? Ah, no, you really wouldn't worry about that kind of problem," Dodo muses aloud.

Gray Snake responds in his usual indifferent tone, "He was already know snakes when he released that video." His voice carries a hint of lament as he continues, "Attracting Anti-Entropy, the World Serpent, and even Flame-Chasers in the Elysian Realm. Heh, of course he'll come to negotiate, that was what he wanted in the first place."

Raven, who had been listening quietly, finally speaks up. "So you're using me as bait?" she asks, pointing indifferently at herself, her voice echoing in the silent room.

"I'm struggling to understand," Raven began, her voice filled with confusion. "Why don't you just confront him directly? It seems like the logical thing to do."

Gray Snake chuckled, a sound that echoed eerily in the dimly lit room. "Of course, that's the final move, isn't it?" he replied, his eyes gleaming with a strange intensity. "It's the ultimate test to confirm if he's the one we've been searching for."

Raven frowned, her brows furrowing in thought. "And then you're just going to go along with his scheme? That doesn't sound like you at all."

"No, it wasn't my idea," Gray Snake admitted, his tone casual. "It was her Lordship's suggestion to extend an invitation to him."

Raven's eyes widened in surprise. "My lord? she? did his Lordship came from sea Quanta?" she asked, curiosity piqued.

Gray Snake shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "No, she is my own lord," he clarified.

Raven paused, considering his words. "But if he does manage to bring back the Flame-Chasers, will the World Serpent's plan still be viable?" she questioned, her tone serious.

"Plans?" Gray Snake repeated, his laughter filling the room once more. "Oh, Raven, you really don't understand the World Serpent." He paused, his gaze meeting hers. "I asked you what you think the World Serpent's objective is."

Raven hesitated before responding, "The Stigma Project?"

Gray Snake nodded, a look of approval in his eyes. "Yes, the Stigma Project. Its purpose is to defeat the End. The video we watched earlier summarized it quite accurately," he explained, his voice steady and confident.

"But isn't the Stigma Project already…" Raven's voice trailed off, uncertainty clouding her features.

Gray Snake turned to face her, his expression unreadable. "Raven, why do you believe the World Serpent's Lord holds that title?" he asked, his tone steady.

"Because he was the first?" Raven responded, her voice filled with disbelief. She couldn't fathom any other reason.

A chill seemed to settle in the room as Gray Snake spoke, his voice carrying a note of fervor that was impossible to ignore. "No, it's because he is the driving force behind the Stigma Project," he explained. "Only someone who pushes the Stigma Program can hold the title of the World Serpent's Lord."

He paused for a moment, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "And it's only through the Holy Stigma Project that we can ensure victory over Honkai," he added, his voice echoing in the silence that followed.
