The Unsinkable Ship of Eternal Cycle

Elysia held a small pink and white megaphone, continuously playing the phrase that caused Mobius such mortification. In that moment, Mobius felt like killing Elysia; indeed, Elysia was the person she hated the most.

"Pfft!"

All the Flame-Chasers couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even Pardo, who had always been afraid of Mobius, was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight. Although Chrono's face was hidden by his mask, it was clear from his eyes that he was also enjoying the schadenfreude.

Laughter doesn't appear out of nowhere, it just shifts. Mobius had mocked him earlier, and now the tables had turned!

"Alright, I'll tell you then."

Zhang Wei's mouth curved upwards crazily as he placed his hands under Mobius's armpits and easily lifted her high. Mobius's mind went blank. The sensation of leaving the aircraft and breaking free from Earth's gravity left her brilliant mind unable to process.

Is this Snake Snake's body? It's really so light. It should be easy to push down!

So small, and so cute. I didn't even use much strength.

When Mobius finally came to her senses, her face was as black as ink, and her snake-like eyes were filled with murderous intent. This action, treating her like a child, made her shame skyrocket.

"Good girl~"

Zhang Wei gently placed Mobius back on the ground and roughly ruffled her head with his large hand, almost turning her hairstyle into a bird's nest.

"..."

"You better actually have a way, otherwise, I'll dismember you even if it costs me my life!" Mobius said through gritted teeth. But to be able to leave the Elysian Realm, she endured it. I won't get angry!

Elysia was stunned, looking at Zhang Wei with admiration. What a ruthless person. No one dares to treat Mobius like this. And being able to make Mobius hold back her temper is a first. Anyone else would have been cut into countless pieces by now.

The boss is amazing. My judgment was indeed correct. If I follow Zhang Wei, won't I be able to get supplies from Sister Snake anytime?

Pardo's eyes lit up, having discovered a business opportunity. Her tail wagged wildly behind her, a sign of excitement.

"Let's not talk about my method first. You are existing as memory bodies within the Elysian Realm, so why don't you have the World Serpent members outside prepare Soul Steel Bodies for you and then enter them? Isn't that also a way to leave?"

"In the current civilization, Schicksal's Bishop Otto has lived for five hundred years using a Soul Steel Body. He can easily transfer his consciousness." Zhang Wei posed the question.

Who knows how many spare Soul Steel Bodies Otto has prepared for himself, making him so hard to kill. Otherwise, Otto would have been assassinated countless times already. And the technological level of the previous civilization should be able to be applied to that extent. But that's not right either. Mei died because of Honkai erosion, so using a Soul Steel Body might allow her to survive, even if she can no longer be called human. So this should indirectly indicate that the previous civilization did not conduct research in this area, not that they lacked the ability.

"Soul Steel Body? That's a valid idea, but we haven't tried it!

You know the situation of the previous civilization. Herrschers appeared one after another, and we could only focus all our energy on fighting the Honkai. Weapons like Divine Keys and the Moonlight Throne made it difficult for us to free up time."

Vill-V, as the designer of most Divine Keys, was very familiar with Soul Steel. Its hardness was among the best in the Honkai world, but it wasn't used for consciousness transfer. How could they compare to Otto's hundreds of years of research?

The main reason was that the previous civilization's situation didn't allow for research into extraneous matters. Herrschers appeared one after another, so weapons like Divine Keys were the most important means. They didn't have the energy to research other things.

"Mei..."

Kevin's expression turned slightly somber. If they had had the Soul Steel Body Zhang Wei mentioned back then, Mei might not have died. He didn't care if Mei changed bodies, as long as she could live.

Su, rarely opening his eyes, looked at his best friend's dejected appearance. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. As someone who witnessed Mei's departure, he naturally understood how heavy a blow it was to Kevin.

"Want to change regrets?" Zhang Wei smiled mysteriously, leaving all the Flame-Chasers bewildered.

"How can we change it? What's past is past. We are all failures!" Mobius said faintly. Aren't they, these lingering existences, failures?

"Do you know the origin of this Hyperion?" Zhang Wei's voice carried a hint of pride.

"No, but it gives me a very warm feeling, like home!" Elysia shook her head, stating her feelings about being there.

"Kiana, you explain it. It's up to you!"

Kiana rubbed her nose, her face also filled with pride. "Hyperion is the embodiment of the Captain's spirit and power. It's a ship that exists in the Sea of Quantum, traveling through infinite worlds, possessing the power to traverse time and space. It can also be called The Unsinkable Ship of Eternal Cycle! This is also our home, our belonging, not just an ordinary ship."

"That amazing?" Elysia exclaimed. Traversing time and space is not something anyone can do. Even the Herrscher of Finality, with the power of cyclical time, finds it very difficult to casually travel through time.

"The embodiment of the Captain's spirit and power?" Mobius was quite interested in this. This had already moved beyond the realm of science and into a metaphysical worldview.

Zhang Wei smiled without saying anything. He was born from the Hyperion and possessed all the knowledge gathered by the Hyperion in his mind. Coming from outside the world, it could be said that he was the Hyperion, and the Hyperion was him. It was a very special ship, and their relationship was also very close.

"So... Captain, are you saying that this Hyperion can travel to the past?" Vill-V asked with great interest.

Even she, with all her self-confidence, had not researched such an invention.

"Naturally, it can, but not now!" Zhang Wei shook his head regretfully. As more Valkyries boarded, its functions would be gradually unlocked. A bug-like function like time travel would require at least ten Valkyries to be on board.

Kevin was somewhat disappointed, but his strong will was not shaken.

"If not now, then later. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about how to leave this damned Elysian Realm. Is there a real way to leave?" If she could get out, Mobius wouldn't want to stay there for another moment.

She had no interest in traveling to the past.
