Chapter 143: The Key of Corruption
Elysia has arrived. Everyone, step aside.
"The aura of a Herrscher Core ♪?"
Elysia looked at the black katana in Kenji’s hand. All the Herrscher Cores he had collected were inside her own body, so naturally, no Divine Keys had been born from them. But she was no stranger to the aura of a Herrscher.
"The 12th Divine Key, Jizo Mitama, made from the Core of the Herrscher of Corruption. I went to a point in the past to get it," Kenji explained.
"I see. However..." Elysia smiled. She had sensed an interesting presence inside Jizo Mitama but decided not to mention it for now. She was very interested in her own self from the Elysian Realm and wanted to go and meet her with Kenji.
Kiana looked at the pink-haired woman, and for some reason, her head felt inexplicably heavy.
Kenji, seeming to understand something, produced a green hat as if by magic and placed it on Kiana’s head.
"What is this?" Kiana frowned, looking at the green hat. Although she didn’t know its meaning, she was sure it wasn’t anything good.
"Green represents the color of nature, symbolizing vibrant life..." Kenji began to ramble on with a straight face.
The corners of Himeko’s and Elysia’s mouths twitched. They knew the meaning of a green hat. Himeko, in particular, really wanted to say: Kiana isn’t very smart to begin with, and now you’re tricking her.
"Go, go, go! Let’s set off! Target: the Elysian Realm!"
Kenji and the others vanished from Arc City. Rita and the others were still searching for Kiana, running around endlessly, completely unaware that she had already left.
"What a familiar environment ♪"
Using the authority of the Key of Corruption, Kenji’s group easily entered (hacked into) the Elysian Realm. Elysia looked at the familiar surroundings and sighed with emotion. It was the style of the Previous Era. Before coming here, she had already learned the purpose of the Elysian Realm’s existence.
"By the way, is there no one here?" Kiana asked, scratching her head. It felt so empty.
Kenji explained, "We’re stowaways, so we’ll probably have to wait a bit for someone to show up. See? Isn’t someone coming now?"
"So many guests (guinea pigs)."
The little snake has arrived. This was near her laboratory, and she had just happened to feel a spatial fluctuation. So Elysia has brought visitors again.
Mobius’s daughter? Elysia looked at the little snake. No chest and no butt.
That’s right, you guessed it. This is Kalpas and Mobius’s daughter. Many people in the Fire Moths know this.
"Big brother, big sisters, would you like to come and have a seat in my laboratory?" Mobius’s voice was sickeningly sweet. "Of course, you don’t have to, Elysia."
Seeing Elysia next to them, Mobius performed a lightning-fast change of expression, her face filled with disgust.
Perfect. Elysia could now confirm that this was definitely Mobius.
"And if we don’t go?" Kenji loved to say no to self-important people.
"If you don’t, then I can personally invite you over~" Mobius cooed, confident she had the upper hand.
Kenji shook his head, raised the Key of Corruption, Jizo Mitama, and began to chant:
"The Twelfth is ’Corrosion’, which can make the mortal world peel and decay, and split the four souls of gods and ghosts so they cannot be distinguished."
"12th Divine Key—Jizo Mitama Mimicry: Oath of Judah!"
Streams of data began to flow rapidly, forming a golden cross in front of Kenji. Although mimicry was the power of the Void Archives, in a data space like the Elysian Realm, the authority of the Key of Corruption could accomplish many things.
Seeing the golden cross before her, Mobius felt a sense of dread, but it was too late.
"Divine Grace Barrier—Activate!"
The sound of meshing gears was heard, and a small barrier expanded, completely incapacitating Mobius.
"Constraint..." Mobius ground her teeth. This feeling of powerlessness was absolutely awful. A Divine Key made from the core of an anti-Honkai Herrscher... what a cheat. But what the heck was a 12th Divine Key?
Golden chains wrapped Mobius up like a caterpillar, leaving her completely immobile.
"Hehe, I’ve always wanted to see this expression on your face," Kenji said, leaping into the air and then flopping onto the ground, bringing his face right up to Mobius’s, his eyes darting back and forth. "My, my, why isn’t the little snake so arrogant anymore? Isn’t the Elysian Realm your home turf?"
"Hmph. The Key of Corruption. I didn’t expect it to be this unfinished Divine Key from back then," Mobius said, looking at the katana in Kenji’s hand. She couldn’t be bothered to struggle anymore. The authority of the Key of Corruption was the natural enemy of a world like the Elysian Realm. Otherwise, she really would have beaten this arrogant and annoying guy to death.
"Heehee, a tiny Mobius is also very cute, you know ♪"
Elysia squatted down and poked Mobius’s cheek with her finger. Acting all young at her age... she’s even more ridiculous than I am.
"El... wait, this sensation... you are?" Mobius was about to snap at her, but then she felt that the texture of Elysia’s skin was different. It wasn’t a data body like theirs, but a living, breathing person. She had studied the past visitors and knew the difference between a memory construct and a real person.
Elysia smiled slightly and stroked Mobius’s head again. She had finally gotten to experience it.
"Don’t touch me, you pink fatty," Mobius said irritably. This feeling was still as annoying as ever. It didn’t matter which Elysia it was; she really did hate Elysia the most.
"...Are you a parallel universe Elysia?" Mobius asked.
"I suppose so. I’m still alive, you know. I was a little curious about the Elysian Realm, so I came to have a look ♪," Elysia nodded.
"Let me go. This is very uncomfortable," Mobius said with a slight frown. No one liked this feeling of powerlessness.
Kenji nodded. The golden cross vanished, and Mobius stood up again.
"Lalala~ Look what I’ve found! Another me ♪?"
"It’s a girl just as cute as Elysia! Hello, my name is Elysia ♪."
Hearing this voice, Mobius felt her head was about to explode. One Elysia was hard enough to deal with; now the Elysian Realm Elysia had arrived too.
The living Elysia looked at the Realm Elysia, her eyes lighting up. She smiled and said, "You’re also very cute! My name is Elysia too ♪"
"You’re so beautiful ♪" x2
The two Elyias locked eyes and praised each other in unison, without a hint of shyness or embarrassment, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Mobius was speechless. The pink fatty’s skin really was thick.
"Mobius, let’s have a hug ♪!"
The two Elyias sandwiched Mobius between them. The only one suffering was Mobius herself.
With her head squeezed between four lumps of useless fat, Mobius felt like she couldn’t breathe. She flailed her arms and legs wildly, but she couldn’t break free. It was a suffocating feeling, like being coiled by a python.
"They’re in perfect sync," Kenji marveled. As expected of Elysia. There were very few people Mobius couldn’t handle, and Elysia was definitely number one on that list.
Kiana frowned. Was this really a place that could make her stronger? It seemed a bit unreliable.
