As long as the Herrschers could be revived, coupled with the assistance of the current era's Lawbreakers, overcoming the Honkai had become an inevitability.
In that case, these memory constructs could finally lay down their burdens.
Under such circumstances, if Wu Tong invited them, they would most likely not refuse—after all, they no longer had a purpose to cling to.
"Besides, if you come with me, you can live the life you've always wanted."
Hearing this, the Herrschers exchanged glances, each seeing the flicker of desire in the others' eyes.
After a brief silent exchange, Mobius, acting as their representative, spoke:
"We'll go with you, but only after you've revived the Herrschers. And… we'll need a few days to settle our affairs."
The others said nothing.
This had already been agreed upon among them. Having lived together for so long, they understood each other perfectly.
In that momentary exchange of glances, they had already reached a consensus.
If the Herrschers were truly revived…
What harm was there in these memory constructs leaving with him?
With the help of the Dimensional Chat Group, overcoming the Honkai in this world was now inevitable.
Given that, couldn't these memory constructs, who had toiled for millennia, finally take a break?
(After working so hard for so long, can't I just enjoy myself for once?.jpg)
Leaving with Wu Tong might not be a bad choice.
This world no longer belonged to them. Perhaps living in another world would be better.
And with Wu Tong's promise, they could all live the lives they had once dreamed of.
That was why everyone agreed to leave with him.
"Deal."
Hearing Mobius's words, Wu Tong's face instantly lit up with a radiant smile.
Under the gaze of all present, Wu Tong and the Herrschers sealed their agreement.
With the pact made, the atmosphere in the room grew warm and relaxed.
Sakura pulled Rin aside to share their long-awaited reunion, and no one disturbed them.
Elysia, clutching the Earthly Virtue Soul, ignored the little one's struggles as she pinched its cheeks and chatted with Eden about where they might go after being revived.
Hua sought out Fu Hua and Xiao Shi, and the three identical beauties found a corner to talk.
Kalpas continued to glare at Aponia, but under the effects of the Taboo, his fury remained impotent.
Vill-V the Magnificent, ever the performer, caught Pardo trying to sneak into the other Herrschers' homes to "stock up" while everyone was gathered in the hall.
She promptly treated everyone to a thrilling Vill-V-style magic show.
Kevin sat quietly, watching it all unfold, the corner of his lips lifting by a single pixel.
Su, ever perceptive, noticed Kevin's subtle shift in mood and allowed himself a small smile as well.
Meanwhile, little Griseo, under Kosma's watchful protection, captured the scene in a painting—one where everyone was smiling brightly.
...
For a time, the Elysian Realm was filled with peace.
After sealing the agreement with Wu Tong, Mobius prepared to leave. But before she did, her serpentine gaze drifted behind him, where two trembling figures were trying to hide.
"Dan Zhu, Cang Xuan… what are you two doing?"
The two stiffened, exchanging glances filled with dread.
"D-Dr. Mobius…!"
Without a shred of mercy, Mobius dragged them away.
...
—A Night Without Incident—
The next morning, Wu Tong awoke in the large bed of his Elysian Realm room.
After dressing and freshening up, he stepped out, heading for the main hall.
"Stare…"
The moment he entered, an icy gaze pinned him in place.
Wu Tong froze, then turned.
Kevin was seated on the sofa, watching him.
'Sigh… Of course. That kind of gaze, so cold it could freeze the air—no one else but Kevin.'
It was still early. The others were either resting or occupied, leaving the hall empty save for Kevin and Wu Tong.
Wu Tong had no idea what to say. After all, how does one converse with a block of ice?
After a long silence, Wu Tong decided this staring contest couldn't continue.
"Uh…"
He hesitated, staring at Kevin's stern face, before finally blurting out:
"…Want some instant noodles?"
With that, he activated Creation Magic: Food, and a cup of instant noodles materialized in his hand.
Instant Noodles of the Past—Flavorful Freshness.
Braised pork rib flavor.
Kevin eyed the noodles, then, after a pause…
"Mn."
He accepted the cup, opened it, and began preparing it.
—The Ten-Minute Noodle Wait—
And so, a peculiar scene unfolded in the Elysian Realm: Kevin and Wu Tong squatting side by side, eating instant noodles in complete silence.
...
Before long.
"Mmm, that smells amazing! Kevin, what are you eating?"
Elysia, drawn by the aroma, arrived in the hall and burst into laughter at the sight of the two squatting together.
"Instant noodles," Kevin replied after a pause, lifting his cup. "Want some?"
"Wow, what kind of noodles are these? They smell so good! I've never seen this brand before."
Elysia clapped her hands.
"Well, I'll try one too! I haven't eaten yet, and I'm starving.
A beautiful maiden must always be open to new experiences!"
And so…
The two noodle-eaters became three.
"Huh? That smell… where's it coming from?"
"The main hall, I think."
"Let's go check it out, Mei."
"Okay~"
Hearing the familiar voices, the three squatting noodle-eaters exchanged glances, struck by a sense of déjà vu.
...
...
Soon, everyone had been lured by the delicious aroma.
The group gathered around Wu Tong's Gourmet Tablecloth, eating and chatting.
"Wow, this tablecloth is so convenient! I want one too," Elysia mumbled through a mouthful of food, her face smeared with oil.
Eden, sitting beside her, gently wiped her mouth, restoring her to the image of a flawless maiden.
