As is well-known, the Elysian Realm is a world woven from the memories and data of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers. It is essentially a special space composed of data, fundamentally different from the material world outside.
For instance, items within the Elysian Realm cannot normally be taken to the outside world. Therefore, all the Flame-Chasers here unanimously believed that Zhang Wei was talking nonsense. The idea that any ship could simply enter the Elysian Realm was laughable.
"If you're not joking, then this ship must be quite special, right?" Vill-V pondered, pointing at the Hyperion. As the developer of many Divine Keys, she could sense that this ship was unusual, though she couldn't quite pinpoint why.
Just moments ago, Chrono's outburst had severely damaged even the Elysian Realm. Every time Klein dealt with such incidents, she felt like her CPU was about to fry. Yet, the Hyperion's deck, aside from some scorch marks, was completely unharmed. Even Otto's Soul Steel probably couldn't achieve such hardness. It was hard to imagine what material it was built from.
"As expected of Vill-V. This Hyperion is my dream ship, carrying the past, present, and future. Visiting the Elysian Realm is also possible," Zhang Wei, the Captain, said with immense pride and self-satisfaction when speaking of the Hyperion.
At the same time, the Hyperion was also his home, the place where he was born.
"..."
The memory bodies of the Flame-Chasers wore peculiar expressions. They had never heard anyone praise themselves so extravagantly, especially their own ship, using such exaggerated descriptions. How could that be possible?
"Clap, clap~"
"Alright,"
"Let's not dwell on that. How did you all encounter Griseo? Didn't Kevin say when he communicated with the Kevin outside that Griseo was missing?" Elysia clapped her hands and asked Zhang Wei, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.
"My main body did sync with the memories of that time. The Ark going missing also meant the Ark Project failed!" Kevin stated calmly, though one could tell he was in a much better mood knowing Griseo was safe.
"Uncle Kevin, Sister Elysia, I've been in the hibernation pod all these years. The Ark might have lost signal during landing, causing you all to worry," the elder Griseo said apologetically.
"Heehee, Griseo still remembers that address! But you're an older sister now!" A captivating smile bloomed on Elysia's face, as radiant as a flower. She happily embraced the elder Griseo. Even though the elder Griseo had said it casually, Elysia was beaming.
"Sister Elysia is still the same!"
The elder Griseo felt a bit helpless at Elysia's actions, but also nostalgic. These were the happiest moments she had experienced in tens of thousands of years. If she weren't sure, she would have thought it was a dream.
"Let's fight!"
"Herrscher!!!!"
Chrono awoke. He immediately transformed into a fiery meteor, charging towards the Hyperion from afar. His unrestrained aura, like a thoroughly enraged beast, carried endless fury, as if intending to burn everything.
"He's really full of spirit, as expected of Master Chrono. He's probably the most passionate among you in the Elysian Realm, right?"
Zhang Wei exclaimed, showing no nervousness when asking the Flame-Chasers. Chrono was on the level of a Nation Destroyer, but that didn't mean much. Chrono could also destroy continents. However, a continent was vast, and if Chrono kept destroying it, it was possible. The Rock Herrscher of the previous civilization had once caused the destruction of a continent. So, it wasn't just about the rank, but also other factors. (PS: Cities, countries, continents, etc., vary in size.)
Herrschers are powerful, but if not careful, they can be easily killed by humans, unless they are absolutely powerful and immune to any schemes or calculations.
"???"
Except for Elysia, all the Flame-Chasers, including Kevin, wore bewildered expressions after hearing Zhang Wei's words. Where did he get the impression that Chrono was passionate? He looked like he was about to explode.
"You have keen eyes! Chrono is indeed the most passionate boy among us!" Elysia agreed and chimed in.
"Captain, leave it to me. This time, I'll let him sleep for a longer while!"
Kiana flexed her muscles, ready to let the passionate Jie Ge sleep a bit longer. Her usually indifferent golden eyes now held a hint of excitement. She hadn't stretched her limbs in a while, and after the previous test, she was now more confident about how much force to use to knock Chrono out without injury.
Aponia: "..."
She didn't doubt Kiana's words. Kiana was the Herrscher of Finality. Even if all the memory bodies of the Flame-Chasers were combined, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat Kiana, the Herrscher of Finality.
Although Chrono's temper was a bit volatile, he was still their comrade. They couldn't just stand by and watch him get knocked out again; it was too humiliating.
"Let me do it!"
"Don't forget, I'm not completely defenseless." Zhang Wei stretched his wrists, his red eyes turning brilliant gold at this moment, though they retained warmth unlike Kiana's. His attire remained unchanged.
An unparalleled amount of Honkai Energy erupted from Zhang Wei's body, causing Kevin and the others to stare in shock. Another Herrscher of Finality? Since when were Herrschers of Finality so common? To summon one was to summon the Herrscher of Finality.
Kiana and the others were used to it. They had long known that Zhang Wei could use their powers. It was a very special function of the Hyperion – the Captain could use the strength of the Valkyries on board. Even though they knew this, they didn't mind. They were all family, and he could use it if he wanted to.
Although Chrono found it strange that Zhang Wei also possessed the aura of a Herrscher, his rage had already taken over. It didn't matter who it was; his fist, engulfed in scorching lava, shot directly towards Zhang Wei.
"Master Chrono, I thought of something fun. Enjoy!"
"Imaginary - Exile!"
Zhang Wei casually snapped his fingers. A spatial rift appeared before him. Chrono, unable to stop himself, crashed directly into it. With another snap of his fingers, the rift closed, and Chrono's memory body vanished from everyone's sight.
"Cool Captain, where did you send Chrono?"
Elysia knew Zhang Wei wouldn't kill Chrono. She had dealt with that authority herself back in the day – the Herrscher of Void's ability to open spatial rifts. Chrono should have been teleported elsewhere, but hopefully not outside, as he wouldn't be able to withstand it in his memory body.
"Ding!"
"You know about free fall, right?"
Zhang Wei took out a coin and let it fall freely to the ground, making a crisp sound. Less than a second after it hit the ground, Pardo leaped forward and picked up the shiny silver coin, a smile on her face.
Hehe, it's a coin! And it's one I've never seen before. Zhang Wei didn't pay it any mind. It was just a coin; if he wanted to, he could conjure more anytime.
But the boss is so amazing! Jie Ge got instantly defeated again. Maybe I should consider following Zhang Wei from now on, Pardo thought with a giggle.
"Free fall... you mean?"
Vill-V and Mobius were the first to consider a possibility, looking at Zhang Wei with strange expressions.
There's still the afternoon.
