I want to go back, I'm afraid of heights!

Vill-V stormed off to the laboratory, fuming with anger. She had to work harder to solve the problems that Elysia had brought to her. Elysia watched her go and then turned to Griseo and Sakura, who were still in the hall.

She said to them, "Sakura… Luo Mo has a request for you. He wants you to dub for the latest episode of his game. He said he will help you find your sister in exchange. And Griseo, he also wants you to join his art team, if you are interested."

Sakura nodded calmly, "I will do as he asks."

"I want to see more colors!" Griseo exclaimed, with a gleam in her eyes. She was fascinated by the art of this world.

Meanwhile, Eden spoke up from the side, "Ellie, I have a request too. I would like to meet the composer of that music piece, if possible."

"Huh? " Elysia looked at the graceful Eden next to her. She was surprised by her interest.

"Now that the music is out, I want to see what kind of art this era has to offer."

Eden's eyes sparkled slightly, showing her curiosity and ambition.

...

Elysia dragged the sleepy Vill-V along with her to the Elysian realm in the early morning. She wanted to see Kevin and his digital copy, and she needed Vill-V's help.

"Ellie, why did you have to wake me up? I was working on an experiment all night; can't you go by yourself?" Vill-V complained, yawning with one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other. She looked exhausted and grumpy.

" But I don't know how to operate that device. What if I mess something up? ♪ " Elysia said, pretending to be innocent. She cared about Aponia, who was trapped inside the Elysian realm, and she didn't want to risk losing her.

"Vill-V, why don't you let your other personalities take over?" Elysia suggested, after thinking for a moment. She knew that Vill-V had six different personalities, each with their own skills and traits.

"Guess why I'm still here." Vill-V said, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. She glared at Elysia and said angrily, "Today I had to use all my personalities to work together, plus the blueprints. I barely managed to recreate one device and then the other personalities collapsed from exhaustion."

Then she remembered something: "Wait a minute; there's someone I always forget. It's time for her to come out and have some fun."

Vill-V clapped her hands and said that, before Elysia could respond. She let her consciousness retreat and allowed another personality to emerge.

The next moment, "Hello, Elysia. It's been a while."

A gentle voice greeted her, sounding a bit confused at first. Soon, Vill-V adjusted to the situation and took off her hat softly.

"I'm still not used to wearing this hat! But, surprisingly, I finally got a chance to come out. "

Vill-V chuckled, no longer as arrogant as before, and looked quiet.

Elysia recognized the gentle voice and the serene face of Vill-V. She realized that a different personality had taken over. She greeted her warmly, "Wow, Vill-V, it's been so long since I saw you. I'm glad you're here. Please stay with us for a while; come on, Vill-V! ♪ "

Vill-V looked around and saw the unfamiliar scenery. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, curiosity, and bewilderment. She smiled softly and said, "This is a new civilization, different from ours… Now that I'm out, what about her? Maybe she can be freed."

"I don't know what you mean, but Vill-V, we have to go now! ♪ " Elysia said, ignoring Vill-V's cryptic words. She had something urgent to do.

"It's okay if you don't know. It's a long story. But wait a minute, Ellie, why are you hugging me so suddenly?" Vill-V asked, feeling surprised by Elysia's sudden embrace.

"Didn't I tell you? We have to go now! ♪ " Elysia repeated, holding Vill-V tightly.

"Shouldn't we take a plane or something?" Vill-V tried to pull away from Elysia. She felt scared by Elysia's cheerful grin. She shivered and wanted to escape.

But she knew that she had no choice. She was powerless against Elysia, both now and in the past.

"Flying is too slow. I want to see my friends as soon as possible. Don't you, Vill-V?" Elysia said, still smiling brightly. But to Vill-V, it looked like a sinister smile.

"Let's go, Vill-V!" Elysia said, and lifted Vill-V into the air.

"I want to go back; I'm afraid of heights!" Vill-V screamed, terrified by the height.

"Let me go; I'm afraid of heights!" Vill-V shouted, as Elysia flew with her towards the World Snake Base.

....

Elysia pretended to be shy and lowered her head. She said, "Hmm… well, don't look at me like that; you'll make me blush, Vill-V!"

Vill-V glared at her angrily and turned her head away. She thought that Elysia was doing it on purpose, but she had no proof.

"Come on, Vill-V; don't be mad at me; I honestly didn't know you were scared of heights!" Elysia said, trying to soothe her. But she didn't sound sincere.

"How could you not hear me? I was screaming so loud!" Vill-V said, widening her eyes. She couldn't believe that Elysia was lying to her face.

"Ahem, okay, let's drop this topic for now. We're here to see Kevin, remember?" Elysia said, changing the subject. She dragged Vill-V along and walked towards the base. They went through a dark tunnel and reached the World Snake's Hall.

The hall was silent and empty, just like the last time they visited. But it felt even more gloomy. There was a figure sitting on the throne at the top. The faint light cast a shadow over him, making him look more isolated.

Kevin was sitting on the throne, motionless. He stared at the two unwelcome visitors.

Elysia didn't mind his coldness and smiled: "Hey, Kevin, long time no see! ♪ Don't you have anything nice to say to me?"

Kevin didn't say a word; his face was hidden in the darkness. He pointed his finger in a direction.

"See, I told you that Kevin has become a lot colder," Elysia said to Vill-V, casually.

Vill-V also looked at Kevin on the throne in surprise. It was indeed quite different from what she remembered. But although she liked to study and make Anti-Kevin Weapon, her personal relationship with Kevin was far less than Elysia's. She didn't know. What should I say? Maybe she and Kevin, who is a magician, will have more words in common.

But Kevin didn't say anything. He just watched them silently. Elysia and Vill-V had no choice but to walk towards the Elysian Realm, where Kevin's memory was waiting for them.

The mood was tense between them as they walked. They both had something on their minds.

"What's bothering you, Elysia? Is it something that Kalpas said?" Vill-V asked, breaking the silence.

"I'm wondering, are we going to end up as enemies with Kevin? ♪ " Elysia said, sounding sad. She had met him twice, and she felt that he was drifting further away from her.

"Oh, that plan, I see. But, Elysia," Vill-V stopped Elysia and made her face her. She looked into Elysia's eyes and said earnestly,

"Remember what I told you before. That plan is necessary for this era, not for you, Elysia. You don't have to be involved in it."

Elysia whispered, "I know what you mean, but what about Kevin? Can we just pretend that he doesn't matter?"

Vill-V didn't answer. She knew about the plan, and she knew what it meant for Kevin.

Whether he succeeded or failed, Kevin would never find happiness.

They walked in silence through the corridor until they reached the door that led to the Elysian Realm. They had been there before, but this time, they had a different mission.

"We're here… Whatever happens, we have to rescue them from the Elysian Realm first…" Vill-V said, lifting her head and gazing at the device that she had built.

They entered the Elysian Realm again, hoping to find their friends who were trapped inside. They wanted to bring them back to the real world.

The thirteen heroes might lose their extraordinary powers and abilities, and live a normal and peaceful life. They might no longer fight against the Honkai. They might enjoy the simple pleasures that ordinary people had. But they would always be ready to answer the call of duty if needed.
