Thus, Moros and Elysia entered the Osaka Dome without any obstruction.
As they leisurely took their seats, the boisterous venue seemed to be baptized by some kind of magic, instantly falling silent, so quiet that only heartbeats and breaths could be heard.
In the center of the venue, the massive screen began a slow countdown, each number like a pulsating note, heralding the start of an audiovisual feast.
At this moment, the air within the Osaka Dome seemed to freeze, all eyes fixed on the screen.
Countless fans, filled with reverence and love for Elysia, held their breath in anticipation of her spectacular performance.
Moros and Elysia were also caught up in this electrifying atmosphere.
Given their deep friendship with Elysia, both Moros and Elysia were eager to witness firsthand the moment Elysia achieved glorious success.
Chapter 82: Elysia's Concert
As the countdown on the massive screen in the center of the venue reached zero, the long-awaited moment finally arrived.
Amidst the fervent anticipation of countless spectators, Elysia's elegant figure gracefully emerged from backstage. She was like a dazzling star, illuminating the entire stage and bathing the whole venue in her radiance.
In that instant, the previously silent Osaka Dome seemed to come alive with vitality, instantly
erupting.
The audience members rose to their feet, waving their light sticks and shouting Elysia's name.
"Elysia! Elysia! Elysia!..."
Simultaneously, spotlights poured onto Elysia like a brilliant galaxy, rendering her as noble and elegant as a goddess.
Elysia was dressed in a long, black and red gown, its hem gently swaying with her movements. Her wine-red hair flowed with the breeze, like a moving painting, exuding a captivating charm.
On the giant screen behind her, Elysia's image was also projected, complementing her real-life presence.
Her every movement, every smile, tugged at the audience's heartstrings, driving them wild and captivating them.
Seated in the seats specially reserved for them by Elysia, Moros couldn't help but exclaim as he witnessed Elysia's grand entrance.
"Truly radiant and dazzling."
"Of course~"
Hearing Moros's exclamation, Elysia turned her head, her eyes sparkling with pride.
"My dear Elysia is the best."
Just then, Elysia's gaze swept over the seats specially reserved for her two close friends, spotting Moros and Elysia seated there.
A gentle smile appeared on her face, as if thanking them for their unwavering support and companionship.
Moros and Elysia also noticed this and returned sincere smiles, a confirmation of their support and a congratulation on her success.
As Elysia's smile bloomed, the atmosphere within the Osaka Dome was pushed to a new high.
The audience's cheers and applause surged like a tide, and the light from their glow sticks traced bright paths in the darkness.
Unfazed by the fervent atmosphere on stage, Elysia calmly walked to the center of the stage. She first cast a grateful smile at the audience, conveying her thanks for their support through silent gestures.
Then, she gently parted her lips and began to sing her song.
"Once upon a time, there was a prosperous kingdom."
"Its people were well-fed and lived in harmony."
"But the king was old and nearing his end."
"..."
Her voice, like heavenly music, clear and moving, each note a magical touch to people's hearts, bringing an indescribable sense of purification.
The audience was completely immersed in her performance, as if transported into the kingdom depicted in the opera "The Demise of King Sleepycap," lost in the world created by Elysia's singing.
Their eyes followed Elysia's every move, every expression, afraid of missing any spectacular moment.
When Elysia's performance temporarily concluded, the entire venue fell into a brief silence.
Then, it erupted into even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.
The audience stood up in tribute, offering their most sincere praise for Elysia's brilliant performance.
Amidst the applause and cheers, Elysia gracefully walked to the edge of the stage and bowed to the audience in thanks.
"I see now, Ely, I understand why Elysia has so many fans."
Standing up from his seat, Moros whispered to Elysia beside him.
"She takes every concert seriously, and pours genuine emotion into every performance. Who could resist a singer like that?"
"This is our Elysia, she deserves all the praise and love."
Elysia nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with pride for Elysia.
As the applause gradually subsided, Elysia returned to the center of the stage, preparing to begin the next round of her performance.
The audience members sat down one after another, anticipating her next song.
And on the other side of the stage, Moros and Elysia also returned to their seats, ready to continue enjoying Elysia's performance.
Elysia took a deep breath, adjusted her state, then closed her eyes, gathering all her emotions, and began to sing the next note.
"When the starry sky dims and the wine cups run dry, my king, why do you still linger in this barren land?"
"To await the triumphant return, to find the truth."
"..."
In Elysia's singing, time seemed to freeze.
The audience was completely immersed in her musical world, forgetting everything around them.
Every note she sang was like sweet dew nourishing the audience's souls. Her performance was filled with deep emotion and charm, touching the softest parts of people's hearts, making them unable to help but be moved and touched.
As night fell, the concert gradually approached its end.
Elysia's cheeks were already covered in sweat. The high-intensity performance and interaction with the audience had left her quite exhausted.
But even so, Elysia's bright golden eyes sparkled with genuine joy and satisfaction.
This was her purest love for art.
It was precisely this love that would eventually allow Elysia's artistic journey to represent an era.
Unsurprisingly, Elysia's solo concert at the Osaka Dome this time was a great success.
Even the most authoritative entertainment weekly on this planet, Mu Entertainment Weekly, conducted an in-depth special report on her musical feast.
Professional singing critics did not spare their praise.
"Possessing such powerful vocal skills at this age is truly rare. One can imagine the effort she has put in behind the scenes. Coupled with her beautiful voice, if nothing unexpected happens, she should become a new star in the music scene in the future."
Some critics were blunt.
"As a song to listen to, her singing technique is indeed good, but everyone shouldn't just put her on a pedestal. From the video, her stage presence as a singer still has room for improvement."
"Furthermore, the repertoire she performed was limited, making it difficult to ascertain her capabilities in other genres. Perhaps this is just another fleeting flower that has become popular due to traffic."
Elysia did not pay much attention to these external comments.
She knew that no matter what the outside world said, only her own heart was the most real.
She believed that as long as she maintained her love and dedication to music, continuously honed her skills, and poured in sincere emotions, she could move more people.
However, while Elysia could ignore the sharp words of the critics, Moros could not stand idly by.
Moros had quietly noted down the names of those "critics" who were clearly malicious and attempted to gain traffic and attention by belittling Elysia.
When he had the time, Moros would naturally make these so-called "critics" understand what could be said and what should remain silent.
As for now, Moros needed to deal with the green-haired woman in front of him first.
Chapter 83: First Meeting with Mobius
After a warm and brief celebration, Moros bid farewell to Elysia and Elisa.
His destination was the Conrad Hotel in Osaka City, while Elisa chose to stay behind to accompany Elysia, who had just finished her concert, through this unforgettable night.
The moment Moros stepped into the lobby of the Conrad Hotel, his path was blocked by a mature woman with flowing green hair.
The green-haired woman asked in an extremely gentle tone, a tone that would make those familiar with her find it hard to believe it came from her.
"May I call you Moros?"
Facing this sudden question, Moros pondered for a moment and guessed the identity of the woman.
Mobius!
Her long green hair reached her knees, her face was exquisite, and her pupils shifted from green to pink. Her proud bust and skin as white as snow, combined with her white lab coat, black stockings, and ankle boots, made Mobius look exceptionally alluring.
"Dr. Mobius?"
Moros asked tentatively.
"It's me."
Mobius nodded affirmatively, a playful smile curling at the corner of her lips, as if amused by Moros's reaction.
She gazed at the young man before her, a hint of deep meaning flashing in her eyes.
Was the portable Collapse Energy detector showing no reaction because his control over Collapse Energy was too good? Or was the power he used completely unrelated to Collapse Energy?
Based on this alone, Mobius felt that this trip to the Far East was not a waste of time.
"If you are a doctor, then of course you can."
Ignoring the gazes directed at him and Mobius from the surroundings, Moros answered Mobius's initial question with a smile.
After three leaps in life stages—Novice, Adept, and Legend—Moros's current charm attribute, if placed on the continent of Faerûn, would have long surpassed mortal limits.
Without any disguise, Moros's presence naturally attracted the attention of others.
And Mobius, although renowned for her academic achievements, was equally striking in her beauty.
When the two stood side by side, their combination undoubtedly became the focal point of the surrounding crowd.
However, like Moros, Mobius paid no attention to the gazes directed at them. She simply stood straight, with her arms crossed.
"Moros, can you answer a few questions for me?"
"Alright, but you have to answer my questions too."
Meeting Mobius's gaze, Moros replied without a flicker of hesitation.
Others might fear Mobius, known by the moniker "Demon," but Moros did not.
This was certainly not because he was an old captain in his past life.
Moros wouldn't be arrogant enough to believe that a mere mobile game could offer a deep understanding of a person's entire being.
In fact, the reason Moros agreed to answer Mobius's questions was entirely because he was already a legendary-ranked Necromancer.
Even a "phony" legend promoted through the Hero Panel was still a legend.
The confidence derived from this strength gave Moros enough backing to converse with Mobius as an equal, without any fear.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Moros's reply, Mobius narrowed her eyes slightly, a look of interest appearing on her face.
She curiously pressed on.
"Then, what do you wish to ask me?"
Having secured Moros's promise, Mobius was no longer in a hurry to ask the questions weighing on her mind.
The current "snake snake" was more eager to know what kind of questions this young man before her would pose.
She anticipated that Moros's questions would showcase his insights and thoughts, allowing her to understand him more deeply.
"Doctor, which do you think is more suitable for humans as a choice for extending life: vampires or liches?"
With no intention to hide anything, Moros directly posed his question.
He was very curious, in the eyes of the previous civilization's most outstanding biologist, which was more suitable for human transformation, vampires or liches.
"Vampires? Liches?"
