A Close Call?

After all, Feather of the Wind is an auxiliary God Key. If you use it to attack God Key, then... it's like a self-destructing truck, launching an undefendable super-powerful attack at the cost of a large amount of memories.

Hmm... that's a bit silly.

Therefore, the best choice is to give it to Aili, who has some mental combat ability but is not well-rounded and whose role is to kill one-on-one.

There's no need for Mobius to say anything here; when the time comes, it'll most likely be assigned to Elysia anyway.

"How are you, Aili?"

"I've made up my mind." Elysia slammed her fist together, looking at Mobius with an expectant expression. "I'm going to report you, Doctor!"

"...?"

"I'm going to expose your scheme to hog all the benefits, Doctor!" Elysia said, hands on her hips, looking righteously at the completely bewildered Mobius.

What is a conspiracy to try and take everything for oneself?

I was just plotting, but you actually ate it!

And what do you mean by eating alone! Didn't I include you in the meal too?

Is that even human language?

"I'm not saying this to be mean, Mobius... why are you discussing this kind of thing with Aili?"

Liu Bai realized that Mobius had made a foolish mistake as soon as Mobius said "Take me with you".

Elysia, what about your tolerance?

You think playing with Elysia is a concession, but in Elysia's mind, since you're already bringing others along, why not bring more?

"Elysia is a 'the more the merrier' party."

A sense of perspective, a sense of perspective!

"..."

Mobius fell silent upon hearing this.

Liu Bai's reminder made her realize that she had been so caught up in the joy of eating alone that she had forgotten this point.

"Hehe~" Elysia gave Mobius a bright smile.

"Liu Bai... why didn't you say so sooner?"

"You told me to shut up."

"... Couldn't you, as the head of the household, show some authority and suppress this little wife who's challenging your position?"

"Okay, my mistake."

Seeing Mobius's depressed and resentful expression, Liu Bai decided not to provoke Mobius any further and could only try to appease him.

"Hmm... So, Dr. Mobius? You don't want everyone to know that you're trying to hog everything, do you?"

Although Elysia was a head shorter Mobius, she appeared to be looking down at Mobius.

Elysia had already revealed a mischievous smile.

The roles have reversed.

"Gurgle..."

Mobius was momentarily speechless.

We're doomed.

He no longer had the means to take Elysia down with him.

After all, given Aili's willingness to involve others in the fun, compared to my own desire to hog everything, I'm sure I can get a lenient treatment.

Moreover, there are people like Sakura who sabotage the competitive environment and become lazy, so it doesn't matter to her who gets the top spot.

"Aili ... what do you want to do?" Mobius asked, his face contorted with humiliation.

Liu Bai looked at the two of them with utter bewilderment... He had seen enough dramas in his life, but the things these two had done were still explosive even in his experience.

Liu Bai pulled out a bag of snacks from under Danzhu's table. Although he couldn't eat them, it didn't stop him from holding the bag to create a lively atmosphere.

Stop him? You can't stop him. What right does he have to speak here?

"Hmm... a pink dress?" Elysia's mischievous smile widened. "If Dr. Mobius is willing to wear a pink dress, I'll keep it a little secret~"

"I refuse!"

Mobius refused without even thinking. "You want me, a tall woman who's 1.73 meters, to wear that childish pink dress?"

Besides, I'm almost forty! You're shameless, but I am!

Unless I turn back to being fourteen, I would never wear that kind of thing!

"Explode then!"

Wearing it is out of the question. If I wore it today, tomorrow it would be like, "Doctor, you don't want other people to know you're wearing a pink dress, do you?"

Appeasement is absolutely unacceptable!

Moreover, I still have a way out.

I may not be able to play it myself, but I can make sure no one else can play it!

"Let's go! Aili, take your hormone files with you, let's report it together!"

Chapter 425 A Close Call?

"Neither of you is any good!"

Mei stared at the two people in front of her with a dark expression.

Unlike before when only a few important people were present, this commotion brought everyone else, mainly women, over as well.

The men were mostly stopped by Su, who knew the inside story... Well, in the current situation, Su can't really step in, so she can only help stop some people.

Everyone present understood what had happened, so much so that, except for Mei, the others looked at Mobius and Elysia with strange eyes.

"That's right, none of them are good people. They didn't even include me in this kind of thing."

Eden spoke angrily, but his expression remained calm.

Eden is relatively indifferent to matters of the spiritual world. This time, it was just that Aili was lucky. Putting aside others, this matter would probably have developed into what it is now between her and Mobius. On the other hand, Mei, who has a dark face, would probably be useless even if given seven days.

It was just a stroke of luck. Although Aili gained the upper hand, if she gets discouraged because of something like this, how can she accomplish anything great?

Moreover, it's good that Liu Bai is back; Eden is too lazy to pursue these trivial matters anymore.

Upon hearing this answer, Mei couldn't help but glare at Eden.

Why are you getting involved, you bastard!

The important thing now is... is...

It seems there really isn't anything?

Look at all these people here: a pet cat, a lazy fox, two sisters who just want to join in the fun, a flat-chested senior, a schizophrenic doctor, a celebrity trying to look young, and a nun with no expression.

Who are these guys?! Mei looked around and it seemed like the only person she could win over was Vil-V? Even her senior sister didn't seem to be very effective.

"Vil-V, are you alright?" Speaking of Vil-V, Mei naturally couldn't forget about her lover. "When is your lover going to explode?"

"Even if you blow it up, I won't!" Vil-V's face darkened, then she looked around at the people, noticing that those who knew her situation all had amused expressions. "You guys are all hoping I'll blow it up!?"

"To be honest, I'm more worried if you don't blow it up now," Mei said, a statement that resonated with everyone else.

If your partner doesn't explode in this situation, we don't even want to think about when they will!

"What are you worried about! I really won't blow it up! They're just lovers, what can they possibly do to the world?"

To be honest, Vil-V doesn't actually reject having a lover. After all, all of Vil-V's current personalities admit that they like Liu Bai, so having multiple lovers isn't a big deal. But the problem is that having a lover is too embarrassing.

True social death.

This is why Vil-V insisted on suppressing the Lover personality. And because of this, Vil-V wasn't really worried about the Lover personality suddenly emerging. Even if the Lover did emerge, the other personalities would most likely be able to forcefully suppress the Lover back.

(Because it's not the Lover personality, so it's not showing much "love" right now... Hmm, that seems even stranger.)

It's true that love can fade, but how many of these people are that age?

Given that Vil-V can distinguish the emotions of her lover's personality, her romantic feelings must be considerable, but now they have inexplicably decreased significantly.

Could someone like Vil-V possibly have reached the level of Eden in her understanding of love? Obviously not!

So that huge chunk of emotion... hehe.

"Vil-V, I think you need psychological treatment."

"Do you believe I can create a therapist personality and kill all the therapists you've hired?" Vil-V was extremely annoyed.

Can't you trust me even a little bit? Do you think you know me better than I know myself?

Mei silently glanced at Aponia, who always had a compassionate expression but no expression.

Vil-V followed Mei's gaze and her face turned pale upon seeing Aponia.

You call this guy a psychologist? This guy has an irresistible charm, and it's even more obvious now that he's Fusion Warrior!

If it weren't for Liu Bai's sake, I would have suggested testing Aponia's danger level! I think this guy is more like a psychopath than a psychologist! What kind of psychotherapy techniques do you think he knows?

The two exchanged glances, and Mei was the first to give in to Vil-V's look of disbelief.

What Vil-V discovered, she naturally discovered as well, even earlier—sometimes a few unintentional words from Aponia could sway her mind, who would believe that?

It was only because of Liu Bai's influence and the urgency of the situation that Aponia was allowed to go to the experimental table first. Making Aponia a psychologist would be a bit absurd. In this respect, Mei could understand Vil-V's thoughts.

However... even though Vil-V's rebuttal made a lot of sense, Mei still mentally marked her as someone important.

Mei then moved away, a helpless expression on her face.

If even Vil-V had an indifferent expression, then her own senior sister... well, there's not much to say about her either.

But then again, why did things turn out this way?

No, I should say that there must be something wrong with the fact that this group of people all have such an indifferent attitude.

Hmm... wait a minute

A flash of inspiration struck her, and Mei, with a thoughtful expression, chose to move on to the next topic.

"Alright, let's put aside the matter of Elysia lying about military intelligence for now, and talk about the ownership of the Eighth Divine Key first."

Mei directly steered the conversation to this point, and sure enough, many of the lazy guys present narrowed their eyes.

Although they all felt that the matter was not a done deal in the spiritual world, and that what was done was done and there was nothing that could be done about it, if you really want to talk about it, apart from someone like Pardo who had no self-awareness at all and a few selfless or just joining in the fun, who wouldn't want to take her place?

Therefore, they were all very interested in the question of who owned the God Key.

Mobius was absolutely right when he said that if you can't do those things with Liu Bai in a mental way, then it means your power is not enough. You have to max it out no matter what!

So, if we're really talking about it, everyone is more or less interested, but they also know that it's highly unlikely that they'll get to do it themselves.

Elysia is simply the most suitable candidate at present. If a new, powerful Fusion Warrior emerges to take charge of direct combat, it would be only natural to give this God Key to the new warrior.

Everyone turned their attention to Hua. When talking about potential new Fusion Warrior, Hua, who had both the qualifications and the strength, was naturally the first name that came to mind.

Of course, if we take a step back and disregard the specific role, as long as the holder can fully utilize the power of the God Key and is of reliable character, it's acceptable...

Everyone then turned their attention to Aponia.

Putting aside her bewitching charm, Aponia is probably the most trustworthy person in terms of character.

Although they haven't spent much time together, they've gotten to know each other to some extent... At least for now, Aponia's character is quite solid; this nun is decisive and keeps her word.

"It seems everyone already knows which two candidates are in the running."

Mei was still satisfied with everyone's reaction—at least they seemed quite clear-headed.

Looking at the two of them, those with ulterior motives began to think carefully.

Although Hua enjoys greater trust from everyone, those who are close to Hua actually have some understanding of his "ambitions."

Although we don't know exactly what Hua's ambitions are, let's not forget that Hua is a rival that even Mobius sincerely acknowledges! Could the ambitions of such a person be small?

As for Aponia, although everyone had only known her for about a week, and apart from Eden they weren't exactly close friends, everyone, including Eden, had to admit that this nun's ambition... at least didn't seem that great. In some ways, she was more reassuring than Hua.

Everyone glanced at Aponia's excessively voluptuous figure.

I'm sorry, I can't feel at ease at all.
