"Hahaha, I can finally leave the Elysian Realm and have a physical body! What a wonderful feeling!" Mobius could not help letting out a wild, exhilarated laugh. Its madness made Pardo shudder.

"Mobius, I haven't seen you with that figure in a long time!" Elysia raised a brow. With Mobius looking like such a mature beauty now, she probably would not get another chance to tease her about her figure in the future.

"Captain, do you like them big?"

Mobius stopped her crazed laughter and idly wound her vibrant green hair around her fingertips. "Interesting. My body is back to how it was at the very beginning—full and tall. I haven't felt this pressure on my shoulders in years."

Her body from before she became a Fusion Warrior was no worse than Elysia's. The heavy sensation even made her a little nostalgic. Although Shesha's Honkai factors made her difficult to kill, every death caused her body to shrink, until she ended up looking like a child.

"My current figure should satisfy you, shouldn't it?" Mobius stuck out her small pink tongue and licked her lips, looking utterly seductive.

As long as he had desires, there would be opportunities to get a hold over him later and make him obediently lie down on the operating table.

"It's not as big as Aponia's!" Zhang Wei made a simple comparison between Mobius and Aponia's busts. Just by looking, they were clearly not in the same weight class. Aponia utterly crushed Mobius.

"I... **********"

Mobius instinctively turned to glance at Aponia's towering chest, then immediately turned into a telegraph operator. Who could compare with that dairy cow? With that kind of weight, nothing was even sagging. She seriously suspected it was fake.

That was right, Mobius was seeing red. Look, she had completely snapped!

Aponia knew she was well-endowed. Her shoulders often bore pressure they should not have had to bear. But hearing it said so bluntly still made even her feel a little embarrassed, and her face flushed slightly.

"As a fellow man, you can ask Kevin and the others. Between you and Aponia, who would they choose at first glance?" Zhang Wei teased.

"I choose Mei!" Kevin answered without the slightest hesitation. He did not even need time to think.

"Forget it, I won't ask you. Su, you don't have a partner. Don't tell me you're choosing Kevin?" Zhang Wei said helplessly. He had no interest in arguing with Kevin, that hopelessly devoted guy.

Su: "Sigh..."

The corner of Su's closed eye twitched slightly. What did not having a partner have to do with Kevin? He was not gay. His sexual orientation was perfectly normal. Kevin and he were just good brothers, nothing more.

Kevin was equally speechless. Did pure brotherly friendship have to be given some color in Zhang Wei's eyes?

"Aponia!"

Su still made a choice to prove that his orientation was normal. Aponia really was big; that was impossible to deny.

"Alright, one vote for Aponia. What about you, Cosmo?"

Cosmo: "..."

Who should I choose? If I choose Aponia, Mobius might get angry later. Back then, when I turned into a Honkai Beast, it was Mobius who helped turn me back. But if I choose Mobius, Aponia might feel bad. Aponia took great care of me in the Previous Civilization too. Still, in terms of size, Aponia wins.

Although they could not read minds, they could see from the windows to his soul—his eyes—that Cosmo was once again lost in a sprawling train of thought.

"I'll translate. Cosmo is thinking that no matter who he chooses, the other one will feel bad, so he can't choose. But when it comes to figure, Sister Aponia still comes out on top!" Pardo looked him over, nodded, and translated Cosmo's inner thoughts.

Cosmo: "..."

Zhang Wei was amazed. Pardo did not have mind-reading abilities, so how could she see Cosmo's thoughts so accurately?

"Pardo, it seems my 'One Hundred Questions About Cosmo's Inner Thoughts' really worked," Elysia said playfully.

Pardo nodded. It was useful quite often, letting her understand Cosmo's thoughts. Mobius's face, meanwhile, darkened another shade. The verdict was in.

"What about you, Chrono?" For fairness's sake, Zhang Wei still asked Chrono. Mobius also cast an indifferent glance at him.

"Heh, what a boring question. Aponia, killing you a thousand times still wouldn't be enough! Aaaaah!"

"Mobius, what are you looking at? Want me to tear you apart until you're a little brat again?"

The irritable Master Chrono was performing as reliably as ever. Women seemed only to slow down his punches, and he immediately began hurling insults.

Aponia showed no reaction; she was already used to Chrono acting like this. Mobius's face, however, was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Back then, most of the times she died and shrank into a child's body had been Chrono's doing. It had even led to rumors that she was Chrono and Mobius's illegitimate daughter.

"You brainless brute, feel free to try!" Mobius said coldly.

Chrono said nothing. With a swish, he stood up, flames rising from his body as he strode toward Mobius. By the look of it, he intended to fight.

"That's enough. If you want to fight, take it outside!"

Kevin barked coldly, rubbing his temples. The extreme chill radiating from him extinguished the flames on Chrono's body. As the first among the Flame-Chasers, he truly had a headache dealing with those beneath him. They all had far too much personality!

Chrono shot Kevin a glance, said nothing, and sat back down.

Mobius also gave Kevin that much respect. Besides, now that she had a body, she was in a very good mood and would not fuss over such a trivial matter. She admired her current body with rapt fascination.

Zhang Wei continued creating bodies for the Flame-Chasers. With Elysia having served as practice, it now took less than a minute each. Everything went smoothly, without any problems.

Thus, the Flame-Chasers' Memory Bodies within the Elysian Realm were given a chance to live another life and witness the new world outside.

"Boss, thank you so much! Whenever you buy something from me in the future, I'll give you fifty percent off!" Pardo pinched her arm. Feeling the warmth of a living person, she burst into tears of joy.

Zhang Wei's expression turned strange. He had a feeling that once she boarded the Hyperion, she would stock up on goods from him, then sell them back to him at half price. Her calculations were truly impressive—she really wanted to take advantage of him.

"Pardo, what kind of stuff do you have?" Kiana asked curiously.

Pardo scratched her head. Her eyes flickered with a trace of evasiveness and guilt, though she did not show it. Calmly, she said, "You'll find out later, Sister Kiana."

The things in the Elysian Realm could not be taken out. She could only wait until later to stock up on goods from everyone.
