At the threshold of the final exit, the silver-haired man stood tall and stoic, his presence as sharp and piercing as an ice sword, yet tempered with a newfound restraint.
He remained silent, bidding a silent farewell to his comrades.
Elysia, the first to emerge, beamed radiantly, her voice carrying a cheerful melody as she waved goodbye. "Kevin, farewell, dear friend!"
Aponia followed her. She did not say anything, but she gave him a respectful bow, as a sign of gratitude and farewell.
"That's ridiculous!" Kalpas laughed and walked out.
Hua hesitated for a while. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
She looked at Kevin behind him in the same Elysian Realm. Compared to him, the Kevin in front of her was too cold. His eyes were full of loneliness and determination. Rather than the eyes of a warrior, they looked more like the last words of a helpless person. persistence.
"Hua, you have lost your memory outside. There is no need to worry about your similarity to her."
At this time, Kevin spoke. Perhaps because of the comrades who had worked together with the current civilization, he spoke words of comfort.
Hua could only nod and walk out.
Su opened his eyes, looked at his friend in front of him, confirming his inner state, and sighed.
He said, "We will always be close friends!"
As he spoke, he raised his fist and touched his shoulder lightly.
This was Kevin's favorite move in the past. At that time, Su only thought he was childish.
But now that Kevin no longer makes this move, he feels even more sad. He closed his eyes again and stepped out of the door.
Kevin's body stiffened for a moment, and the expression on his face changed.
And as Su walked out, only the two Kevins were left looking at each other.
They are the same person, but they have completely different experiences and missions. Originally, they would never see each other again in their lifetime.
But in a twist of fate, fate arranged for their meeting.
"I will not comfort you, because I know what losing Mei means to you."
A cold voice sounded, and Kevin in Elysian realms said, "The world and her fate have already made a choice for you."
"Ha, take care." The voice of the man standing by the door sounded. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
He didn't want to see him in Elysian realm because it always reminded him of the past.
"I also envy you for continuing to move forward with her goals." When the two Kevins crossed paths, he expressed his thoughts,
Even though the Kevin(elysian realm) and his memory of Mei in Elysian realm have been deliberately reduced, the fifty thousand years of companionship with their companions have lengthened their perception of her. "At least you can block your life with your commitment to her. "superior."
Kevin was silent; he didn't reply. He looked at the empty hall.
With a heavy heart, he trudged along the desolate path, eventually reaching an elevated platform. He sank onto the vacant throne, his gaze sweeping across the empty expanse before him.
As far as he could see, there was no one there.
"Bye, my friends," he said quietly, his voice very low, as if he did not know who he was talking to.
the silent hall. The World Snake had abandoned this exposed stronghold.
There is nothing but Elysian realm and him.
...
A group of people arrived at St. Freya Island, a place of natural beauty and tranquility, surrounded by the blue sea. This was the academy that Theresa, the headmaster, had built with pride and care.
But for Thirteen heroes, the biggest change was that he was no longer the same person after 50,000 years.
He looked at the villa that was assigned to them. It was elegant and well-kept, with a garden and a pool. He frowned and asked, "This is where we live?"
Elysia, who had been trying to calm him down along the way, sighed and said, "Kalpas, do you have any dissatisfaction? This is a very nice place, you know."
"Hey, it's too small. I don't want to see those annoying people every day." Kalpas pointed at Aponia, who was walking ahead of them with a graceful posture. He also remembered a short green figure that he disliked, and his mood worsened.
He then noticed the villa next to theirs and asked, "But what about this? Is this where the screenwriter lives?"
Elysia nodded and said, "Uh, yes, that's his place. You seem to miss him a lot, but he's probably at work right now, so you don't have to rush."
Elysia smiled and pointed to the villa next to theirs. "That's where he lives. The screenwriter, I mean. He's the one who invited us here, remember?"
Kalpas raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. He followed Elysia as they walked towards the Golden Courtyard, the name of their villa.
"He really went out of his way to make us comfortable. He arranged this villa for us, with thirteen rooms that suit each of us. ♪ " Elysia said cheerfully.
They reached the door of the villa, but before they could enter, Elysia suddenly stopped and turned to Kalpas.
"Oh, by the way, there's something I need to tell you." She said, her smile turning into a mischievous grin.
"What is it?" Kalpas asked, frowning.
"It's about the time we spent in the Elysian realm." Elysia said, lowering her voice.
"What about it?" Kalpas asked, feeling uneasy.
"Well, you see…" Elysia said, and then she quickly opened the door and pushed Kalpas inside. The scene behind the door came into view.
is as low-key and elegant as ever; exquisite and stylish small items are placed on the table; and there are also many elegant paintings on the walls, which are very in line with the tastes of most people.
As they entered the villa, they saw four more people waiting for them inside. They were Eden, Mobius, Kosma, and Pardo, the other heroes who had come to the island with them.
Elysia greeted them with a bright smile and said, "Hey, did you miss me? Your Elysia is back! ♪"
Eden smiled back and said, "Yes, Ellie, we are glad to see you again."
Pardo also welcomed them with enthusiasm and said, "Wow, Brother Kalpas, and Boss Kevin, it's good to have you here!" She felt more secure and confident with them around.
Mobius, however, was lying on the sofa, like a seductive snake, with one hand resting on her cheek. She looked at them with a dangerous smirk and said, "Hey, look who's here. It's Kalpas. What brings you here, huh? Don't you have a home somewhere else?"
"If you don't want to shed your skin anymore, just shut your mouth!"
He was furious at Mobius's taunt, or maybe he just hated her for some reason. Whenever he talked to her, his anger rose quickly.
Mobius snorted and ignored Kalpas. She turned her gaze to Kevin, who was standing behind him. "Kevin? Do you see yourself now? How do you feel? You were always opposed to me leaving the Elysian realm, and now you are here too. What a joke!"
Kevin crossed his arms and spoke in a calm tone, as if he had no personal stake in the matter. "Something... someone has to do it. He is the savior. This is his duty."
He looked at Mobius and said, "And you, Mobius, I will not let you do anything that you will regret."
Mobius rolled her eyes and said, "Tsk, you are so cold and rigid." She stopped asking him and lowered her head. She spoke to the device in her hand, "Klein, how is the experiment progressing?"
"Doctor, the experimental setup is ready." A voice came from the device, sounding tired and weary.
Mobius ended the conversation and stood up. She put on her white coat and said, "Well, enough with the pleasantries. I have work to do."
Saying this, regardless of everyone's reaction, she walked towards the underground laboratory that had been renovated.
Kalpas looked at Elysia with a cold expression. He couldn't comprehend why she was so friendly and cheerful. He asked sarcastically, "Did this woman just welcome you?"
"Kalpas, please be polite." Aponia's gentle voice came.
"Hmph, you don't think you have that ability in the outside world, do you?" Kalpas said it angrily.
"You can try it, Kalpas." Aponia's face was still gentle.
