"Erm, my head is spinning... Am I going to grow a brain now?"
After vomiting everything she needed to, under the dual stimulation of the operation of Honkai energy after practicing Edge of Taixuan and the "Call of Love" from Memory Hua, Luo Lin's thoughts finally returned from her chaotic ramble.
Looking at Elysia who was supporting her while ready to stop her astonishing actions at any moment and Sent who was chatting with Hua beside her, the girl felt as if she had traveled through another world again.
"How's Hua?" she muttered.
Speaking of Hua, Luo Lin saw that Griseo had also arrived on the scene. She set up an easel in the corner of the Elysian Realm lounge, excitedly dabbing paint on it.
After careful observation, Luo Lin discovered that Griseo was actually painting with pigments condensed by Honkai energy...
Seems like there's no problem, Honkai energy can really do anything.
Griseo's "Companion Honkai Beast," Kosma, was also nearby. However, he seemed to be mentally confused by the information he had learned earlier, looking up at the sky with a clear sense of bewilderment, like someone asking, "Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?"
"It seems like we're a bit late?" The portal flashed twice, and Su and Pardofelis stepped out.
The cat-eared girl wasn't too surprised to see two Elysias since she had seen it before, but she noticed two Huas beside them. So Pardofelis rubbed her eyes, took Can off her shoulder, and asked the chubby brown cat next to her, "Am I seeing things right?"
"Meow~" The little cat confirmed.
Pardofelis murmured, "Does this mean everyone in the Elysian Realm will have a duplicate later? I don't want to have a colleague to go shopping with... But in that case, will there be two Cans?"
"Meow!!!" The can seemed to react to this statement and started threatening the possibility of another Can with bared teeth and claws.
"Kevin..." Su walked over to Kevin. The white-haired man raising his head to look at his trusted companion who was rubbing his temple with his hand, "Your abilities are more efficient than my words."
"Alright." Su raised his hand, and fresh green leaves appeared in his palm, rotating as if blown by the wind. He sighed deeply, "I understand... Hmm..."
Kevin adjusted his posture and said quietly, "According to Miss Luo Lin's words, the current era's Hua... let's call her Fu Hua, she can't contact us from the current era."
Su sat next to Kevin, tilting his head, staring at the somewhat noisy bar not far away, "Kevin, what would you do if you knew the Project Ember failed?"
"...I'm just a memory."
"It's just a hypothesis for now."
"...I would continue to execute another project."
Su nodded, "Yes, Kevin, you're like that... But maybe I would have some objections to that..."
Kevin wasn't surprised, calmly saying, "It seems that us in the current era have had a disagreement."
After a few seconds, Su spoke again, "Perhaps that's a good thing..."
"Maybe."
Kevin and Su exchanged glances, falling into silence. They both instinctively turned their heads to look at the Flamechasers present.
"It's nice to see so many Flamechasers gathered..." Luo Lin sighed, "It's a pity that Vill-V, Kalpas, and Aponia are not here..."
"Elysia," Su said, "Vill-V and Aponia are fine, but let's forget about Kalpas, shall we? After all, there's a Herrscher here..."
"—Boom!"
A loud noise came from outside, as if there was an explosion nearby the lounge.
"Uh oh, why did trouble come when we mentioned it..." Miss Pink Elf smiled bitterly.
All the Flamechasers looked up, sensing something, and turned their gaze towards the direction of the portal.
"Herrscher—come out and face death—!!!"
A figure burning like flames, filled with pure anger, appeared in the lounge. His hostility permeated the room making everyone tense.
Eden waved her hand somewhat displeased, and a radiant light protected everything in the lounge.
Sakura followed behind, returning to the lounge. She spread her hands helplessly to everyone, "I couldn't stop him."
Of course, the Herrscher of Sentience could feel this hostility.
She stood up, her face showing no fear, "Oh? Isn't this Chef Kalpas who runs the barbecue stall?"
"Ha." Upon hearing this title, Elysia and Su both raised their eyebrows, recalling the scene they had seen before.
Miss Pink Elf couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even Luo Lin wanted to laugh a little, but facing the pressure that came like a tsunami, the girl managed to hold back her laughter.
"Elysia what are you laughing at again..." Kalpas approached the group.
Miss Pink Elf's mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards, "I, I thought of something happy."
"Wait, why are there two Elysias? What kind of trick are you playing?"
The atmosphere, originally confrontational, suddenly stagnated. Kalpas stared fixedly at the two pink figures glued together, his tone becoming irritated.
"Let me introduce you, this is Luo Lin, my new friend!"
"Um, hi?" The girl awkwardly waved her hand.
Kalpas was silent for a moment, then issued a warning to Luo Lin, "Your true identity is not like this. Although I don't know how you became like this, if you dare to do anything bad in this appearance, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth! I'll make you regret being born in this world!"
"Okay, okay." Luo Lin agreed readily.
Only then did Kalpas refocus his gaze on Senti. His killing intent and oppression were not as strong as before, but still full of deadly danger.
Sentience rubbed her hands excitedly and said, "I heard that you're very strong. Interested in a little fight?"
Kalpas opened his mouth, carefully sizing up the Herrscher of Sentience. Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked, "...What's going on with this Herrscher? Why does she look so much like Hua?"
Elysia said, "Well... it's a long story..."
"Tsk, another troublesome and impure Herrscher, nothing good to start with!"
With that, Kalpas turned and left.
This made Senti a little unhappy, "Wait, Master Kalpas, we haven't fought yet?"
"Oh? You want to?" Kalpas stopped in his tracks, turned his head sideways, and under his bloodthirsty gaze, flames erupted from his shoulders, distorting the surrounding scenery with high temperatures.
"Originally, I should have let you go, but you came to me willingly... Hahaha, good, I like it! Now I'm going to raise my evaluation of you a little bit!"
Knock!
Eden knocked on the table. Her clear voice echoing in everyone's ears, "If you want to fight, do it somewhere else, don't mess around in the room."
"Humph, Herrscher, follow me!"
"I'm coming!"
Senti followed Kalpas closely disappearing into the light of the portal.
Luo Lin suddenly stood up. She took a few steps forward, and then realized that Elysia was still holding her hand.
Miss Pink Elf smiled and said, "Worried about your friend? Although it's not quite appropriate for me to say this, she's still a Herrscher. Judging by Kalpas's attitude, it doesn't seem like he wants to fight to the death..."
"I'm actually more worried about Senti's mouth. Just two sentences from her changed Kalpas's mind. If she says a few more unpleasant words..."
"Let's go after them!"
