"In your world, Honkai exists to test and reject civilizations." "In mine, it's tied to civilization. The stronger the civilization, the stronger I become." "And so does the world."
"You could say I'm fundamentally different from your Honkai." "That's why I need brilliant minds like yours."
Takumi was completely candid about his objective.
The Flame-Chasers were dumbfounded.
"Mutual symbiosis with civilization?" "And a world beyond the Tree...?"
"Fascinating!" Mobius's eyes gleamed with excitement. Her curiosity burned brighter than ever. She truly wanted to leave with him.
"So, will you come?" Takumi took the chance to press further.
Mobius shook her head.
"Tempting, but I can't go now. I'm just a remnant memory."
"No worries!" "All I need is a physical vessel. I can revive you." "It's not scientificit's magical." "I just need to summon your soul and give you a new body." "Even if you're not the original, I can still recreate you."
Takumi met her gaze calmly.
All that mattered was their willingness to come with him.
The body? That was the easy part.
Mobius narrowed her eyes. "You sure know a lot."
"Of course I do. I know everything about your world." Takumi said with complete confidence.
"Thendid we defeat the Finality? Did we drive out the Honkai?"
Elysia had somehow slipped over and joined the conversation.
She had been quietly listening the whole time, but now she looked at Takumi, eyes full of curiosity.
"If I hadn't appeared, Kiana would've been the one to inherit Finality." "And yes, Honkai would've been repelled." "You would've entrusted your power to Mei."
Takumi replied nonchalantly.
Elysia blinked, then smiled.
"I see... So that's how it would've gone."
The others widened their eyes.
"But you did appear," Kevin interjected.
He frowned, staring hard at Takumi.
Takumi had just said, if he hadn't appeared.
But here he was.
The rest began to realize as wellyes, Takumi had changed everything.
"Well, I did show up." "Your world's Honkai seems oddly fond of me." "I'll take a look before I go." "Besides, with so many Herrschers fighting for humanity now, what's there to fear?" "It's not a big deal."
"And don't forget, there's still a war god out there battling Honkai." "Just find someone to go tell Kallen, 'The world needs you and Otto to save it.'" "Then send them both off to save the world together."
"After all, Otto's the kind of guy who'd punch the Tree directly!"
Honestly, if Kallen had just told Otto that one line
"I want to see a world without Honkai."
Honkai might have been destroyed long ago.
Pure-hearted War God Kallen was no joke.
Chapter 140: Is It Really That Hard to Just Copy Directly?
If Kallen had even once said that to Otto, that old simp would have gone all out to fight against the Honkai.
Takumi's appearance in this world had changed many things. The original trajectory had already been completely disrupted. What would happen in the future, nobody could say for certain. But as for the Honkai? It could definitely be resolvedof that, there was no doubt.
Everyone present exchanged glances after hearing Takumi's words.
"Reviving us, huh?" "That's not a bad idea at all." "But are you sure it'll work?"
Mbius asked with a curious smile. Revive the Flame-Chasers, huh? Using methods from another world?
If that were the case, then it might really be possible.
Even without all the Flame-Chasers fighting together, the current generation of Herrschers could manage just fine. Because of Elysia, the Herrschers of this era were a bit... off. But with their combat potential added to the mix, and with Takumi helping, there might really be a chance when facing the Finality.
"No problem going with you." "But you have to promise me one thing." "And that's to fully resolve the Honkai in this world." "I'm not relying on the people outside." "Since you've come here, then help us clean this mess up."
Mbius smiled cheerfully at Takumi.
He wants to take them with him? No problem. But before that, he had to deal with this world's Honkai. Once that was done, they could leave without regrets. Go anywhere they wanted. That was the condition.
No one objected to Mbius's proposal. If Takumi really could put an end to the Honkai, then what harm was there in following him? They were already people who had died once. This era didn't belong to them anymore.
Another world might actually be a better fit.
Because of that, no one interrupted Mbius and Takumi's discussion. She could represent them just fine.
Hearing her condition, Takumi readily agreed.
"That won't be an issue." "I accept."
Ending the Honkai, huh? Not a big deal. As long as they were willing to leave with him, everything else was simple.
"Alright!" "Then I'll go with you." "I can't speak for the others, though." "You'll have to ask them yourself."
Mbius gave her approval but left the decision to the others.
Takumi nodded in understanding. That was only fair. He looked toward the rest of the Flame-Chasers.
He'd said what he needed to say. Whether they chose to follow was entirely up to them.
"Another world, huh?" "I'm very interested."
The first to respond was Vill-V. Another worldone beyond the Imaginary Tree. Of course she'd be interested.
"A beautiful maiden has to go, obviously~!" "Eden, you'll come with me, right?"
Elysia chimed in second, dragging Eden into it.
Eden smiled. "Of course~!"
If Elysia was going, then she would too. Seeing a new world didn't sound bad at all.
"Sakura, come too."
Seeing Eden agree, Elysia invited Sakura as well.
Sakura thought for a moment and nodded. She had no objections.
"What about the rest of you?"
Takumi turned his gaze to the others.
"Could you tell us more about your world?"
Aponia was curious. Even if they were leaving, she wanted to know what kind of world Takumi came from.
"A world with magic, psychic powers, angelseven magical girls."
"All of them are orphans I brought back from other worlds..."
"I agree."
Before Takumi could finish, Aponia had already given her answer.
The moment she heard 'orphans,' she made her decision.
No reason to refuse. That world had many children who needed care. That was all she needed to hear.
Takumi blinked. She agreed that fast?
Though confused, he didn't press further. As long as they were willing to go with him, that was enough.
As for the othersQianjie didn't want to leave. And Kevin, of course not. Even if this world was saved, he wouldn't abandon it. Same with Fu Huashe had too many friends still here.
Kosma? He'd go wherever Griseo went. If she chose to leave, so would he.
But outside, Griseo still seemed to be alive. So he needed to find her first.
Just like that, the decisions were made.
Half of the thirteen Flame-Chasers agreed to go with him.
Takumi was quite pleased.
"Alright... then I'll revive all of you."
"Not just you lotalso Klein, Danzhu, and Cangxuan."
If he was gathering scientists, Mbius's assistants were a must.
Hearing this, Fu Hua's eyes lit up. Danzhu and Cangxuan? Being able to see her old friends again would be wonderful.
She didn't say thank you aloud. But her joy was plain to see.
Those were her comrades, after all.
Mbius, on the other hand, said nothing. No way she'd say thanks.
Her whole body might be soft, but her mouth was hard as steel. Getting her to say "thank you" was harder than killing her.
With everything decided, Takumi began the process.
A massive magic circle appeared beneath everyone's feet, causing all eyes to widen in awe.
Especially Mbius and Vill-V, the two researchers. They were extremely curious.
But before they could analyze too much, they both sensed something.
They were alive again!!
Everyone present felt the same. They were no longer memory constructs.
"Flesh...!"
Mbius looked at her body, eyes gleaming with mania.
This was incredible!!
They were truly alive againand at their peak, no less.
"This is shocking." "Even the hyper-evolutionary factor's intact?"
Feeling the familiar power flowing through her, Mbius was stunned.
Even her genetic modifications were restored?
"You were already at your peak inside the Elysian Realm." "Having a sample made replication easy." "You are who you are. Simple as that."
Takumi shrugged.
They could already use their powers in the Elysian Realm. All he did was copy that.
So was it really that hard to just copy them directly?
Chapter 141 — Vill-V: Let Me Study It!
Takumi directly revived everyone.
He even specifically went to Mount Taixu to retrieve the relics of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, resurrecting them as well.
With this act, many individuals from the previous civilization were now completely revived.
Once Takumi completed these tasks, the people from the previous civilization gathered again.
Seeing these familiar faces, Elysia's smile couldn't have been brighter.
"It's unfortunate that Dr. Mei isn't here!" she lamented, her heart filled with regret. Perhaps this was her biggest regret.
Kevin was also somewhat disappointed. Indeed, everyone had returned, except Dr. Mei.
"Dr. Mei..."
"She's in a world bubble on the Moon," Takumi said. "Along with some other Flame-Chasers members. Part of the Finality's data was separated into several world bubbles. Dr. Mei's memory data includes '247'."
Noticing Elysia's disappointment, Takumi decided to surprise this beautiful girl.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Takumi upon hearing this.
"Really?"
"Does that mean Mei can also be resurrected?" Kevin asked, excitement clear in his voice.
Takumi nodded. "Of course. I'll need to make another trip anyway, so I might as well help you out. I'm quite interested in Dr. Mei's technologies."
Although Takumi could immediately retrieve Dr. Mei using the Blank Divine Key, he chose not to for now. He preferred seeing her in person first.
"Thank you!" Kevin expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Oh~! That's really good news!" Elysia approached Takumi, curious if he planned to bring Dr. Mei along.
Kevin raised an eyebrow hearing Takumi's suggestion.
"I would like to," Takumi admitted. "Dr. Mei was a remarkable figure in the previous civilization. I could certainly use such talent. But I doubt she would agree. I'll ask her anyway. If she agrees, I'll definitely bring her along. How about you join us too, Kevin? I'm sure you wouldn't want to be separated from Dr. Mei again."
Kevin became speechless for a moment.
"If Mei truly wishes to go with you," Kevin finally said, decisively, "then I'll take World Serpent along."
Kevin was firm in his decision. Initially, he didn't consider going because there was no one he knew there, making it preferable to stay in this world Mei desperately protected. But if Mei returned and decided to follow Takumi, he would naturally follow.
Takumi was delighted. "No problem! You're absolutely welcome."
Takumi appreciated Kevin's strength. Even if Kevin wasn't always needed, having reserves of capable fighters was beneficial. Regardless of his own power, it was crucial to have competent allies.
"If that's the case, I'll come along too!" Kalpas spoke up decisively. If Kevin was going, he would surely follow.
"If Griseo returns, I'll go too!" Kosma agreed.
Previously, they had reasons for not leaving. But now, with Kevin going, naturally, Kalpas and Kosma would join. As for Su, it was obvious he'd follow Kevin anywhere. With the threat of Honkai gone, he had no reservations.
Everyone quickly decided on the matter, their mood significantly improved.
Having finalized their decision, no one hesitated any longer. The group began preparing to leave.
Elysium was no longer useful. Mebius immediately suggested Takumi take the entire Elysium with him, thinking its contents might be helpful. Takumi agreed.
First, however, the members outside the World Serpent needed to evacuate. Removing Elysium would cause it to collapse.
With all thirteen Flame-Chasers present, evacuation was straightforward. Kevin instructed Grey Serpent to prepare for departure. Anyone willing to leave could bring their families. Those unwilling could simply leave the organization, though members of World Serpent were generally orphans, so they had no objections.
Even Raven quickly agreed once she learned she could bring along the children she cared for, especially with free housing provided. She swiftly decided to leave this collapsing world behind.
Takumi's arrival had effectively emptied World Serpent.
Takumi also remembered Himeko's super-transformation surgery, planning to perform it directly in his Imaginary Space.
After removing everything, Takumi brought everyone into his Imaginary Space.
Upon entering, Mebius and the others immediately saw massive battleships and soulless mechanical lifeforms.
"Wow!!" Vill-V exclaimed excitedly. "So huge! This place is amazing! Can I study these? Are these robots you created?"
Vill-V's eyes sparkled as she looked eagerly at Takumi.
"They're from another world," Takumi explained briefly. "A mechanical civilization bent on invading other worlds. I hacked them with the Herrscher of Corruption's powers. You can study them slowly later. I have plenty more."
Vill-V's mouth watered hearing this.
"Incredible! Mechanical civilization, huh? Your power completely counters them, rendering even their strongest abilities useless," Vill-V admired, eager for future research.
Seeing this, Mebius couldn't resist asking Takumi, "Do you have anything related to biology?"
Her research was in biological sciences, and she wondered what intriguing materials Takumi had.
"Yes," Takumi replied. "Potions that grant superpowers, special creatures from other worldsI'll give them all to you later. For now, let's handle Himeko's surgery first."
Takumi's next destination was the Moon, aiming not only to address Dr. Mei's situation but also to witness this world's Cocoon of Finality.
Chapter 142 — The Imaginary Tree Treats You Like Its Own Child
When Mobius heard Takumi say that, she nodded immediately.
"Alright then, in that case, let's first take care of what's on hand."
"So, what kind of Honkai Beast genes are we going to use?"
If they wanted to turn Himeko into a fusion warrior...
"Same as Kalpas, right?"
"Himeko plays with fire too."
"She's already used the superpower serum I gave her."
"You can collaborate with her on further research."
