Chapter 228: The Herrscher of Finality?
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Kenji! Kenji! Come here for a minute! ♪"
[Lady Justice]: "Big Sis Ellie, you're in such a hurry. Has the Herrscher of Finality descended? Do you need me to come and help?"
In Elysia's world, the human side had already dealt with twelve Herrschers. So, only the last one, the Herrscher of Finality, remained. With all their good friends here, there was no need for Elysia to sacrifice herself.
[Star Forger]: "The Herrscher of Finality possesses the power of time. Therefore, we must use time to defeat time."
[Shadowkhan Queen]: "?"
When Jade heard what Kenji said, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. It sounded so familiar. Uncle had once said: "We must use magic to defeat magic."
[Stank]: "If it's time, I can ask the old man, the Ancient One, for the Time Stone. But can the Time Stone be used in other universes?"
[Galactic Baseballer]: "We Trailblazers love doing good deeds the most! Didn't Aha visit your world, Elysia? The Nameless will help!"
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Ahem, it's not the descent of the Herrscher of Finality. But I still have to thank you all for your kind intentions."
Forget it. The Trailblazers don't need to come. After all, Aha would definitely follow them, and that God of Elation would definitely stir up some trouble. Last time, he even wanted to make the male Flame-Chasers of the Elysian Realm debut in dresses. It was simply too outrageous (wonderful).
[Star Forger]: "I'm coming! Open the door!"
Fire Moth Laboratory.
The moment Kenji arrived, he saw Elysia lying on an examination table, her body covered in sensor wires for testing.
"Mobius! You've finally shown your fangs to Elysia!" Kenji joked. Although he knew the big snake wouldn't harm Elysia, it didn't stop him from teasing her.
Mobius rolled her eyes and said irritably, "This is just a routine physical. However, there is one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Kenji was taken aback. He looked seriously into Mobius's snake-like pupils. It seemed she wasn't joking.
"The good news, I guess."
He wasn't worried. Even if it was bad news, he could do anything. He would just turn it into good news.
"You and that pink piggy are having a baby," Mobius said with an inexplicable smile.
"I am not a pink piggy ♪!" Elysia huffed. What an awful nickname.
"?"
"What are you looking at?"
Mobius asked, a little confused, as she watched Kenji pull out a calendar the moment he heard her words.
"Today isn't April Fools' Day."
CRACK!
She was a MANTIS soldier, so she could hear what Kenji was muttering. She couldn't help but clench her fists, the sound of her knuckles tightening clearly audible. He actually doubts me, a professional.
So annoying. Just as annoying as Elysia.
So scary! Danzhu and Cangxuan hugged each other. Is this something we're allowed to hear? They could already imagine themselves becoming guinea pigs on her lab table.
"Ellie, is this why you called me over?" Kenji's heart was far from calm. He gently took Elysia's hand. This was truly a wonderful and major event. Toriko had become a father just before leaving Earth. He and Elysia were not ordinary people; even if they had "done it" many times, the probability was still very low.
"Heehee, I didn't expect it either ♪" Elysia nodded with a smile, stroking her perfectly flat stomach.
As the only multi-core Herrscher, Mobius often gave her check-ups, drew some blood, and so on. Mobius had even put on the pink dress. Of course, she wouldn't refuse Mobius's request.
The main wife... is me, Ellie!~
"Then what's the bad news?" Kenji asked, puzzled. When I get back, I'll find some compatible gourmet food to supplement Elysia's nutrition.
"The bad news is... the twelve Herrscher Cores inside Elysia's body have disappeared," Mobius said, frowning. This was strange. This time, she couldn't detect any Honkai energy fluctuations from the Herrscher Cores at all. Had they been completely refined?
"I think I know what happened... the twelve Herrscher Cores were fused into the little one ♪," Elysia said, her tone complex, as she used the Authority of Origin to trace what had happened. She hadn't noticed it at all before; it was as if they had vanished into thin air, completely bypassing the detection of her Origin authority.
"Well, this is..." Mobius's brow rose. The Herrscher Cores had fused with the fetus. This was a bit beyond her realm of understanding.
Kenji thought for a moment, then said slowly, "I'll be right back."
He disappeared and reappeared in the space where the Cocoon of Finality resided.
"Big eyeball! What is the meaning of this?!"
This matter was definitely related to the Cocoon of Finality. So, coming here to find it was the right move.
"..."
A strange fluctuation was transmitted, which was converted into language he could understand in his mind.
"...You chose my and Elysia's child to be the Herrscher of Finality?"
Kenji was stunned. This answer was so dramatic that he didn't know what to say. The child of the Herrscher of Origin, capable of accommodating the Herrscher Cores... it was indeed a suitable vessel to embrace the Cocoon of Finality. However, it just felt... weird.
Was this the world that had been affected by his butterfly effect? Kiana had gone through so much suffering and wandering before finally becoming the Herrscher of Finality.
His and Elysia's child... was chosen by the Cocoon to be the Herrscher of Finality at birth. How many winding roads had they skipped? They would be born as the God of Earth.
"I understand."
Kenji left and returned to Earth. Originally, he had wanted Elysia to become the Herrscher of Finality. He hadn't expected this heaven-defying plot twist. That their child would become the Herrscher of Finality was an unexpected event.
When Mobius and Elysia heard Kenji's explanation, they both had expressions of stunned amusement. Did this count as defeating the Honkai?
"My daughter has the makings of a Herrscher of Finality!" Kenji said with a laugh.
"Why not a boy ♪?" Elysia asked, puzzled. They couldn't even determine the gender yet. Had Kenji seen the future using his time powers?
As if understanding her expression, Kenji said, "Ellie, this is a man's sixth sense."
He hadn't used his Power of Ohma to look into the future. There was no need. A daughter would definitely be coming. Maybe even twins. Who knew?
"A girl... that's wonderful. I really want to meet her soon ♪," Elysia's face glowed with a motherly radiance. Eden's dress designs were very beautiful. Later, she would go and ask Eden to design a bunch of small clothes in advance. The little one would definitely like them.
"Elysia, you're not planning to treat your daughter like a Barbie doll, changing her into all kinds of little outfits, are you?" Mobius asked. She highly suspected Elysia was capable of such a thing.
Although this pink-haired lesbian now had a boyfriend, she still liked cute girls. This was something rooted deep in her genes; it wasn't so easily erased.
Mobius could already imagine Elysia's child being "played with" until it was broken. To be stuck with such a mother... that kid was really blessed.
"I also think that's a possibility," Kenji said seriously, siding with Mobius.
"Ahem! How could I..." Elysia stuck out her pink tongue, her eyes darting about. Mobius is so annoying. How could she say a girl's innermost thoughts out loud?
She did indeed have this idea. What was the point of having a baby if not to play with it?
