As the sun set, it had to be said that the Elysian Realm truly resembled a real world. Even a beautiful sight like the sunset could be imitated with lifelike perfection.
It must have required an enormous amount of energy. Luckily, they had other means; otherwise, electricity bills alone would have bankrupted World Serpent countless times, forcing them to take jobs everywhere just to pay for power.
By then, Kevin might not even have been able to afford instant noodles. The two walked side by side, one with fiery red hair and the other with romantic pink hair. They truly looked like a perfect match.
"Only Griseo and Aponia haven't been notified yet!"
Elysia led Zhang Wei toward The Deepest. Although some Flame-Chasers complained about the trouble, they still nodded and agreed to join them for dinner. They were probably looking forward to something like this as well.
"Aponia, what a coincidence. We were just planning to go to The Deepest to find you!"
In Griseo's studio, they found both the older and younger Griseo, as well as Aponia, the most well-endowed woman in the Elysian Realm. The older Griseo and Aponia were mainly chatting; after tens of thousands of years apart, they naturally had much to say.
"Elysia, have you seen Cosmo?" Little Griseo walked up to Elysia and asked in her adorably dazed voice.
She had not seen Cosmo for quite some time, and she was already a little unaccustomed to it.
"Cosmo? I just saw him with Vill-V. It seemed like he was asking Vill-V to make something very cool!"
As Elysia spoke, it was not just Griseo who felt unaccustomed to it—even Elysia did. In her memories, Cosmo had never strayed too far from Griseo. He was basically a full-time nanny. If she had not known the reason, she might have thought Cosmo was obsessed with little girls.
"Oh. Elysia, did you need something?" Griseo did not ask any further questions. Cosmo did like cool things, and he often said strange lines as well.
"It's nothing much. We're going to the Hyperion for dinner. You're the only ones who haven't been notified yet!"
"Elysia, will it really be all right for us Flame-Chasers to gather together?"
Aponia could not help asking. Though the Flame-Chasers all belonged to Fire Moth, they were not particularly harmonious. For example, the moment Chrono saw her, he would turn into the Elysian Realm's telegram operator, and everything he said needed censoring before anyone could listen to it.
"It's fine. It's rare for everyone to get together for dinner, and we've never done that in the Elysian Realm before!" Elysia shook her head carelessly.
"All right, then."
Aponia nodded. At worst, she could use a Discipline later and make Chrono quiet down a little. It would make him even angrier, but that was still better than having him spew telegrams.
"Griseo, come here and let me hug you!"
Elysia opened her arms toward the older Griseo. But before she could throw herself into Elysia's embrace, little Griseo gave a light jump and wrapped herself around Elysia's neck like a tiny accessory.
"Elysia, is this okay?"
Griseo asked in a crisp voice. Zhang Wei and the other two could not help laughing, while Elysia stood there awkwardly. She had wanted to hug the older Griseo, but little Griseo had beaten her to it. What a miscalculation.
"It's okay."
At this point, the Pink Fairy could hardly tell little Griseo that she had hugged the wrong person. That would be too hurtful. Besides, little Griseo was tiny and wonderful too.
"Now that the last few people have been notified, let's head back. Mei is probably getting impatient from waiting!" Zhang Wei said with a smile and shook his head. He rather wanted to hug little Griseo too. She probably smelled like milk.
On the Hyperion, the Flame-Chasers had gathered once more. Chrono was unusually calm, sitting silently on the sofa without flying into a rage. With his mask on, no one could see his expression.
Still, Zhang Wei was rather curious whether Chrono would remove his mask during dinner and reveal his true face.
"Su, your eyes are closed, so how do you see where you're going? Or do you leave a tiny gap and squint?" Zhang Wei set his Captain's hat aside, his fiery red hair gleaming.
With his long flowing hair, if Su dressed as a woman, even Kevin would probably take a second look. His foundation was excellent, so he should stop being so cryptic and just debut in women's clothing!
"Ahem..." Su could not help coughing before saying helplessly, "After becoming a Fusion Warrior, I can perceive the things around me without using my eyes, so I won't fall over!"
"Is that so?"
Zhang Wei looked toward Kevin. Who knew Su better than he did?
"Back in our student days, Su seemed to close his eyes often. He had not become a Fusion Warrior then, so he was probably walking around while squinting!" Kevin recalled seriously and answered bluntly.
No wonder Penguin's straightforwardness might have been inherited from Kevin, her ancestor.
Zhang Wei burst out laughing. As expected of Kevin, he truly said whatever was on his mind.
Su's mouth twitched. What kind of terrible friend had he made? Kevin could say anything out loud.
"Eden, where's Mobius? Isn't she coming?" Elysia looked around, but she could not find that green figure anywhere. Had the earlier costume change made her angry?
That should not have been the case. The fairy thought it was very cute, and Mobius should have liked it too.
"Uh... Mobius should be flying right now!" Eden looked a little awkward as she discreetly glanced at Chrono.
Elysia noticed it, then looked at Chrono before looking at Zhang Wei. She seemed to have connected the dots.
"Don't look at me. I've been with you the whole time, so I'm not responsible for this!" Zhang Wei shook his head quickly, though he could guess who had done it.
"Kiana, where did you send Mobius?!"
Kiana had a huge chicken drumstick in her mouth as she poked her head out from the kitchen. She was clearly sneaking food.
"You mean that little kid? She wanted to study me, so I copied you and let her experience free fall."
Kiana snorted. What she hated most were human experiments, so she had not been polite to Mobius at all. She had directly used her power over space to let Mobius have a taste of it, probably doing something similar to Zhang Wei.
As the Herrscher of Finality, sheer strength was enough for her. Every one of her battles had been about overpowering everything with brute force, so her grasp of her own authorities remained fairly superficial.
"Uh... it's time to eat. Let her out!"
"Fine!"
Smack!
Kiana opened an Imaginary Channel, and a green figure fell to the floor, followed by a Quantum Shadow that landed right on top of Mobius.
Crack!
Kevin silently used his ice power to freeze the Quantum Shadow. Wasn't that a creature from the Sea of Quantum? What exactly had Mobius gone through?
"Aaaah! You damned white-haired brat, where the hell did you teleport me?!"
Mobius let out a piercing marmot-like shriek, making everyone cover their ears. That high note was about to blow the Hyperion's ceiling off.
