Griseo: What, You're the Origin? And the One Guarding the Entrance Is the End? / Chapter 50: Kosma: Which One Is Vita?

Xia Ling playfully stuck out her tongue. "Although you've lost your freedom, you still have the museum's display stand. You can enjoy everyone's admiring gazes while you're in Vita's collection showcase, can't you?"

"You...!"

"Yeah, it really does feel great to do that. No wonder Otto said that back then."

Having thoroughly vented Vita's anger, Xia Ling stopped teasing Moriarty and instead severed his "connection" to this world.

Although he was also a projection like them, Moriarty did not have a real body as a "fulcrum". After his "authority" to project was cut off, he naturally disappeared completely.

Normally, Xia Ling would simply kill him cleanly and decisively, without lingering to mock him for so long. However, these little Vitas are, after all, Griseo's "children," while Moriarty... killed more than one Little Vita in the original work.

Although the Vita can eventually be resurrected, Xia Ling has always been very protective of her own.

At the same time as Moriarty died, the Paradise Guard naturally lost control and returned to calm. After all, these things were the embodiment of the "will to survive" in the subconscious of the little Vitas, and even without a controller, they would not harm people for no reason.

As for the precursor blue Vita... after hearing everything, she naturally realized Moriarty's true purpose and immediately apologized to Benxiang and Yunxu who followed her.

However... that wasn't Xia Ling's focus at the moment.

"Kiana, could you please stand guard outside for me?"

Xia Ling, who had been teleported back to the Ark's entrance, said, "While I awaken Griseo, So will definitely notice the changes here... At that time, the out-of-control Paradise Guard may be driven by her to attack us."

"And, after discovering the attack has failed, she might forcibly unleash the world-ending flood again, restarting Fruos's state and physically muddying the waters..."

"Guarding the goal is no problem, it's just..."

Kiana hesitated slightly. "Won't these little Vitas be in any danger because of this?"

"No, Vita will take care of the little Vitas. I have already instructed Yunxu to make sure they do not activate the sacred artifact once they return to the city... As for the origins and explanations of the little Vitas, let Vita deal with that herself."

After giving Kiana a few instructions, Xia Ling suppressed her excitement and went straight to the hibernation pod.

Chapter 49 Griseo: What, you're the Origin? And the one guarding the gate is the Finality?

The interior of the Ark is not complicated, and both Sue and Fu Hua had visited it before it set sail.

Therefore, with the support of the memories of many Flame-Chasers, Xia Ling is almost more familiar with the facilities inside the Ark than with Theresa's basement.

After easily locating Griseo's hibernation pod, Xia Ling carefully brushed away the dust covering the outer cabin and then manually activated the hibernation pod's unlocking procedure.

"Hmm..."

With a soft click as the program was triggered, the hatch of the hibernation pod opened automatically. After the life support system stopped operating, the blue-haired girl slowly opened her eyes from her long dream.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Her vision gradually cleared, and with her weak hands gripping the edge of the hibernation pod, Griseo a little effort to sit up.

Then, through her blurry vision, she noticed that there seemed to be another figure in front of her.

The figure wasn't very clear; perhaps because she hadn't used her body for so long, Griseo couldn't make out the person's appearance, but...

She saw the color in that person.

She had many different colors on her, representing many people Griseo knew or didn't know, but... among those colors, she discovered Elysia's color, which occupied a large part of it.

If it's someone Elysia approves of... then they probably aren't a bad person...

Her already low level of vigilance vanished instantly upon seeing the colors on Xia Ling's body. Griseo shook her head, trying to ease the stiffness in her body, but at that moment, she realized that the hazy figure had already arrived in front of her.

A familiar and warm power slowly enveloped her body, sweeping away all the abnormalities.

"How are you, Griseo? Are Wu Yi Ba Long Qi Yuan Yin Mei feeling better?"

The girl with black hair streaked with pink highlights asked with a concerned expression.

"I'm much better, thank you... but you are...?"

Griseo looked around, and then her expression gradually became somewhat... surprised.

"And how did the Ark become like this?"

"A lot must have happened while you were unconscious. Let me tell you about your situation first..."

Due to the time constraints, Xia Ling didn't have time to catch up with Griseo. Instead, she quickly recounted Griseo's experiences, from the plane crash to her capture and the establishment of Fruos.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I felt that way in my dream..."

As if recalling something unusual she had noticed before, Griseo's brows relaxed, and she looked as if she had just realized what it meant.

"So, in other words, we are actually in great danger right now, and Fruos could face destruction at any moment?"

Griseo, having heard about Little Vita's situation from Xia Ling, immediately inquired with concern.

"Don't worry, there's another guy guarding them. He might not be the most reliable, but there's no doubt about his feelings for the little Vitas."

"You mean, the one who secretly came into my room while I was Qi Ling Wu Si...?"

A hint of embarrassment and annoyance appeared on Griseo's face. After all, no one would be happy to wake up and find that someone had created seven children using their own colors.

"That's right, but we also have our own tasks to complete... although they haven't started yet."

Xia Ling looked outside the ark and, through the cabin, could see that the sky outside had darkened.

"It seems we still have some time. Is there anything else you'd like to ask, Griseo?"

"Certainly."

Griseo nodded. "You have many colors that I recognize, and your power feels very familiar."

"Can you tell me... did they have a happy ending?"

As the youngest of the Flame-Chasers, Griseo's attitude towards the Elysian Realm was naturally not as complicated as the others. She had once heard her mother, Aponia, say that Elysian Realm's end would be destruction and darkness.

And this girl who came to save him carries the power of Elysia and the colors of everyone else, so presumably... Elysian Realm must have also completed its final mission.

She wasn't overly saddened by the destruction of the Elysian Realm; however, she also harbored a small selfish wish: that her younger self, along with her memories of her companions, could have a grand finale.

As for the pioneers who remained on Earth, they all had their own missions, and probably most of them...

Thinking of this, a hint of sadness appeared in Griseo's eyes.

"That..."

Seeing Griseo looking somewhat sad, Xia Ling didn't know how to start a conversation.

"Maybe... things aren't as bad as you think?"

"Huh?"

Griseo blinked blankly.

"After all, I promised her I would give her the best possible ending..."

In Xia Ling's hand, a light familiar to Griseo gradually gathered and, under Tian Hui's imprint, transformed into a leaf radiating spiritual power.

"Due to limited energy, we'll probably only be able to let them show up during the final battle... However, here are some snippets of their daily lives that I'd like to show you?"

"Oh, right, remember not to say that I showed it to you. Just say... just say it was Elysia or Sugan."

Xia Ling handed the leaf to Griseo, her expression tense, and whispered.

After all, there were quite a few "good things" that Xia Ling had secretly filmed, such as footage of Mobius getting humiliated, which were basically the kind of things that could be broadcast on Elysia's little loudspeaker.

If Mobius found out that she showed these things to Griseo... she might have to experience what it feels like to be retaliated against by an angry Serpent the next time she returns to the Elysian Realm.

Griseo, accepted the leaf. She knew nothing about the Intrinsic World yet, but judging from the girl's expression, perhaps... it wasn't so bad?

Having prepared herself for the possibility of her entire comrade being wiped out, Griseo a deep breath and slowly placed her hand on the leaf.

Then...

"Huh???"

Griseo, who hadn't realized what she had seen for a moment, looked up blankly.

If she wasn't mistaken, apart from Kevin who left with a smile after completing his mission, everyone else seemed, perhaps, possibly still alive?

Moreover, Elysia has obtained a new body, and everyone in the Elysian Realm has begun to come out and come into contact with modern civilization.

Most importantly...

Upon waking, the Origin's Legacy personally answered his questions, while the Finality, the God of Earth...

It's like he's guarding the gate for himself outside?

What kind of strange World Bubble into?

Chapter 50 Cosmo: Who is Vita?

"Xia Ling, something seems off outside!"

While Griseo still reeling from the shock, Kiana's voice came from outside the ark.

"I know, I've already seen it..."

Xia Ling's gaze was fixed on the view outside the window, above Fruos, or more precisely, above this planet...

A huge "door" has been opened.

And Sona's bloated limbs seemed to be trying to squeeze through this "door".

"How did this thing even imitate a cocoon...? Its appearance is so much worse than a cocoon's!"

"But compared to her bloated appearance, her color is very... pure, almost unlike the color a living consciousness should have."

Beside her, Griseo also looked at the hole in the sky with some curiosity.

"After all, she has already stripped away all those feelings that she considers useless... This Su seems to be someone who advocates absolute rationality."

"So what should we do now...?"

"Don't worry, she's after me."

Xia Ling gently shook her head, revealing a relieved smile, "Coincidentally, I came here for her too."

"As she probes out of here, on the other side of Earth, Kiana will also 'target' her consciousness."

"However... we need to stall her for a while."

"After all, even the Finality Time would find it difficult to project an attack quickly from such a distance. The distance from here to the moon is equivalent to 4,500 times the distance from Earth to the sun. Reimu I & II Reimu Shirt (IV)!"

"If it's a battle, I can help too!"

Griseo searched the room and successfully found a lightsaber.

"Don't worry, everyone will have a part in the final battle... Perfect, this is also a good opportunity to test whether the universal memory module descent template I just developed is feasible."

The universal descent template that Xia Ling mentioned is actually a practical little invention derived from the actual needs of the St. Freya Academy.

Because within the academy, with the help of Xi's paintings and some system support, it is possible to support Flame-Chasers in conducting small-scale activities in the real world.

The arrival of these memories is usually a solitary manifestation. Most memories, such as Aponia or Griseo, are extremely rare. However, the energy expenditure required to support the emergence of a memory is a huge expense for the St. Freya Academy.

After all, judging from the level of effort exerted, most of the memory units exerted more effort than ordinary Herrscher, and each of them would consume the energy equivalent to one or even several Hyperion.

Therefore, in order to save money and reduce unnecessary energy consumption, Xia Ling and Vill-V worked together to develop something similar to a "universal spirit origin" that could allow all memory manifestations to emerge into the world.

In this way, within the academy, as long as a high-strength universal memory is continuously powered, all the Flame-Chasers can be summoned in turn at any time.

Before preparing to attack Suo, Xia Ling specially copied this universal template and brought it with her. After all, if she were to descend into the memory through the system, not to mention that she could only maintain it for a few minutes when she went all out, the cost alone would be a considerable expense.

After taking out a somewhat strange painting, Xia Ling led Griseo away from the ark that had been dormant for thousands of years.

"Xia Ling, the cavity is still expanding, but we can't determine the best time to enter yet."

Seeing Xia Ling come out, Kiana, without even greeting Griseo, quickly told Xia Ling the results of her observations.

"However, one thing is certain: we can't wait for her to fully emerge and then move the battlefield to Fruos. Vita said that Sa doesn't care whether Fruos is destroyed or not. If we really have to fight on Fruos, I'm afraid this planet..."

"Alright, alright, isn't it time for Little Vita to step in?"

"As for when to enter the void, let Little Vita help you decide."

At that moment, a voice rang out from beside the three of them, and as space was slightly distorted, Vita's figure passed through the void and arrived in front of them.

"Vita? Aren't you supposed to protect the little Vitas?"
