Chat Group: Starting by Swapping Bodies with Elysia?

Killing intent surged in her heart—if they were alone, Miss Angry Elysia wouldn't mind letting the bad Jiang Qiao experience what "a fairy's fury" was!

But with Felis and Wendy present…

Original Elysia proactively moved closer to "Bad Jiang Qiao," intending to secretly get her "revenge."

Unexpectedly, the "Bad Jiang Qiao" she wanted to take revenge on seemed to have guessed her thoughts and took the initiative – grabbing her arm and pressing that rather substantial chest against her, like a petite girlfriend clinging to her partner.

This completely caught Elysia, who was about to carry out her "petty revenge," off guard.

That soft feeling made her heart race. Even if it was essentially data constructed from a "memory body," it didn't affect its realism. Although this wasn't the first time Elysia had faced such a situation, in the past, when she was with other cute girls, she would often do similar things, but... being suddenly embraced by "[Elysia]" like this, Pink Fat Woman was more or less caught off guard.

Of course, Elysia wasn't the only one who reacted to this scene. Remember, Wendy and Pardo were also present.

Wendy's reaction was smaller, but seeing "Jiang Qiao ([Elysia])" and "[Elysia] (SIM Elysia)" acting so intimately, the rather introverted Wendy naturally blushed. As for Pardo…

Her jaw dropped, her heterochromatic eyes, like those of a Persian cat, filled with either terror or shock, or perhaps both.

Oh my god! Sister Elysia is hugging a strange man from outside the Elysian Realm!!!

Although Sister Elysia was kind to everyone, to act so intimately, apart from girls… no, even among girls, at least in Pardo's memory, it seemed only Sister Eden had received such treatment.

And if this scene were seen by others in the Elysian Realm, it would probably become big news, even "Su would be shocked!"

Elysia, whose brain had short-circuited, finally came back to her senses and met "Bad Jiang Qiao's" smile.

You, you, you, what are you trying to do, Bad Jiang Qiao!!!

Pink Fat Woman's eyes started spinning at this moment, filled with chaotic lines, clearly showing that her CPU had burned out.

However, noticing Pardo and Wendy's gazes, she suddenly realized!

I understand, I understand everything!

This bad guy must be trying to act intimately with [Elysia] and "Jiang Qiao" to declare his ownership and discourage other girls – he's taken, so all of you better watch out!

This way, if she tried to approach other beautiful girls, she would definitely be labeled as a "two-timer" and face much greater resistance.

At the same time, this bad Jiang Qiao had also "tarnished" Elysia's reputation. Once this got out, others would know that Elysia was close to a strange man…

Understanding all of this, Elysia instantly gritted her teeth.

She had originally planned to steal away the beautiful girls that Bad Jiang Qiao had secretly wooed, then ruthlessly "humiliate" and take revenge on him, returning everything he had done to her double-fold. But just as her plan began, this bad Jiang Qiao used such a "simple" method to thwart it – even if it couldn't be said to be a complete failure, the possibility of her revenge plan succeeding had been greatly reduced…

Pink Fat Woman had only two words to describe all of this.

Despicable.

—You're truly despicable! Jiang Qiao!

Elysia, having figured everything out, wanted to counterattack "Bad Jiang Qiao," but unfortunately, perhaps because her CPU had just burned out, or perhaps she simply didn't have any experience dealing with this type of "enemy," she could only look blankly.

And "Bad Jiang Qiao" – SIM Elysia – inadvertently revealed a joyful smile.

Although it was just a whim after seeing the foolish original, she didn't expect it to actually have such an interesting effect.

However, to prevent the original fairy from doing anything rash, she took the initiative to release her hold on Elysia's arm, then acted quite naturally, as if nothing had happened – which annoyed Elysia even more.

Damn it, she had just thought of a good idea to get back at this bad guy!

—Bad Jiang Qiao, since you like hugging me, if you continue hugging me, I'll take the opportunity to bite you.

Follow your heart, and let you, this bad guy, experience it "super double"!

Unfortunately, before this thought could be put into action, SIM Elysia keenly avoided it, making Elysia's counterattack plan fail.

She could only watch with puffed cheeks as "Bad Jiang Qiao" chatted with Pardo for a few words, then walked to Pardo's stall.

This instantly excited the catgirl! She started promoting the goods on her stall like she did with Original Elysia.

And what "Bad Jiang Qiao" was interested in was none other than – the "pink megaphone" that Elysia had her eye on.

"Hehe, Sister Elysia, this is a new product I just got from Sister Vill-V's workshop. That Boss Qiao really wanted it!"

"Hmm?"

SIM Elysia, who was already interested in the megaphone, immediately looked at Original Elysia when she heard that it was something her original really wanted.

"Oh my, you really wanted this?"

"In that case—"

Original Elysia, who was originally fuming and planning a more effective counterattack against "Bad Jiang Qiao," immediately had her eyes light up with excitement when she heard SIM Elysia's words.

Could it be… Bad Jiang Qiao wants to buy this megaphone for me?!

Hmph… Even if you really give me this beautiful megaphone, I won't forgive you. But… well, for the sake of the gift, I'll forgive you a little. Just a little, though, Bad Jiang Qiao!

Thinking of receiving a gift she liked from Bad Jiang Qiao, Angry Elysia was a little happy.

However—

After SIM Elysia bought the megaphone Original Elysia wanted with "three crystal flowers" and walked towards her, she showed no intention of giving the megaphone to Elysia.

This made Elysia's outstretched hand, which was waiting to receive the megaphone with a smile, freeze in mid-air.

"Uh... what's wrong?"

"Bad Jiang Qiao" put on a confused expression and looked at Elysia's outstretched hand, while the latter was in disbelief – Didn't you buy this megaphone to give it to me, Elysia?

"Oh my… it seems you like this little megaphone too~ What a coincidence, it seems we have a lot in common."

"But it's a pity, there's only one megaphone." The pink-haired girl played with the megaphone as if showing off, then said regretfully, while smiling sweetly, "Hmm… maybe Pardo can get another one from Vill-V next time. Just wait for next time, okay?"

—Just wait for next time.

The words echoed in Elysia's ears, and her hand remained stiffly in the air, neither retracting nor dropping.

The color in her eyes gradually dimmed, as if losing their luster.

The little devil Elysia picked up the shattered pieces of Elysia's touched heart, chewed them like biscuits, crunch, crunch, and ate them.

Then, she patted the stunned angel Elysia and handed her the trident in her hand as if comforting her.

Little angel Elysia froze for a moment, took the trident – and directly assimilated it!

Aaaaaah, bad—Jiang—Qiao—!!!

I, Elysia, will absolutely, absolutely never forgive you!!!

Just at this moment, the sweet voice of "wait for next time" echoed from the megaphone in SIM Elysia's hand.

Heaven and earth could testify – she didn't record this on purpose! It was an accident!

She bought this megaphone purely because she liked megaphones… what, her original also liked and wanted this megaphone?!

Great, SIM Elysia only felt that she liked it even more!

The sound of this megaphone was so pleasant, and the body of the megaphone was so exquisite…

However, before SIM Elysia could continue to "show off" the megaphone in her hand, she felt her vision blur and her body become heavy.

[Elysia, unable to bear it any longer, used Body Slam!]

[Super effective against "Bad Jiang Qiao!"]

A weight of approximately 55kg pressed down on her.

—Unfortunately, although she was using "Jiang Qiao's" appearance, Original Elysia didn't seem to consider the weight data. But from the perspective of using it as a "weapon," it might even have a certain bonus to the "skill" (confirmed).

SIM Elysia, who was pinned down, was also a little stunned.

Looking at "Jiang Qiao" riding on top of her, she didn't feel shy – after all, she knew very well that it was just her original in disguise. However, this sudden change still caught the Elysian Realm's Pink Fat Woman off guard.

And this scene of "man on top, woman on bottom" scared the catgirl once again.

Oh my god! Sister Elysia was pushed down by the man from outside!!!

Although she had heard a little about things between men and women, what she had seen in this short period of time was a great shock to her simple worldview.

First, Sister Elysia actively held "Boss Qiao's" arm, and then "Boss Qiao" actively pushed Sister Elysia down. This, this, this, could this be what the books described as… oh my, with her and Wendy still here, Boss Qiao was too… too bold!

Even if they really wanted to do something, they should at least find a place where no one was around!

Consciously covering her face with her hands, Pardo peeked at all of this through the gaps between her light pink painted fingers, her mind filled with wild thoughts. After thinking for a while, she felt that it was a bit awkward for her and Wendy to stay here.

So she took the initiative – "I just remembered I have something to do, Sister Elysia, Boss Qiao, you guys continue!" After leaving this sentence, she pulled Wendy's collar and ran away, not forgetting to turn back and drag Can, who was about to take a nap on the stall, along with them.

...

After parting with Eden, with the thought of seeing Elysia, Jiang Qiao walked in the Elysian Realm, intending to continue admiring the place, an idea interrupted by the Big Rich Woman's arrival.

Unfortunately, he seemed to be even more popular than he thought.

Looking at the green-haired figure appearing not far away, Jiang Qiao sighed helplessly.

"Hehe~ Big brother, why are you sighing when you see me~ Could it be… did I do something wrong?"

A cutesy, soft voice sounded in his ear. The green-haired girl, who looked so "innocent and lively," stared at him with a smile – unfortunately, in his eyes, this fifty-thousand-year-old "young girl's" act might work on unsuspecting fools, but for him – an old woman pretending to be a maiden!

Of course, Jiang Qiao was quite experienced in dealing with such defeated opponents.

"Hmm~ How could that be? I'm very happy to see the talented Dr. Mobius?"

A sweet, gentle voice came out of his mouth, and [Elysia]'s burning gaze fell on her. That presumptuous look, as if wanting to "strip her bare," instantly made the childish innocence on Mobius's face disappear without a trace.

Although she was still smiling, those familiar with Mobius knew that the doctor had taken off her mask at this moment. With a hint of disgust in her tone, she looked Jiang Qiao up and down and curled her lip.

"Although I've heard about it… I didn't expect this annoying feeling to be exactly the same as that woman's."

Love at first sight, identified as an annoying woman – just from the initial contact, Mobius's "dislike" for Jiang Elysia rapidly increased, seemingly hitting the limit directly.

Of course, with Mobius's personality, appearing in front of Jiang Qiao wasn't just to check the "authenticity" of the "high-quality Elysia replica." She had something to say – Jiang Qiao knew this very well.

"Since we're both smart people, I won't beat around the bush."

After a moment of silence, Mobius asked the question brewing in her heart, "Jiang Qiao, is it? I only want to ask you one question – do you know what you're doing?"

Like Eden, she also had something she wanted Jiang Qiao's help with.

But unlike Eden and the others – Mobius was a researcher.

As one of the pinnacles of human intellect in the Previous Era, after learning about Jiang Qiao, the first thing she felt wasn't surprise, but "doubt." Could such a thing really be done? As a genius, Mobius had to question it.

She had thought a lot, but the final conclusion was – impossible.

Just as Otto Apocalypse later said – it was absolutely impossible to turn back time to fifty thousand years ago, even the so-called reversal of fate was impossible.

Perhaps the method Jiang Qiao used wasn't the so-called time reversal.

But even so, the predicament he faced wouldn't change.

This wasn't simply a difficulty in terms of timescale.

But a more abstract, conceptual reality.

As a memory body of Mobius, Mobius possessed everything of the past Mobius except for the moment of her death. As one of the peaks of the Previous Era, she was naturally one of the few people who understood the "Cocoon" best.

The cycle of Finality was absolute; it would turn back the hands of time to the very beginning.

In terms of timescale, under the influence of the "Cocoon," the Previous Era had become "zeroed," or "non-existent," to the world.

If it existed, it would definitely exist in an "erroneous" state.

An extremely serious error for the world.

"You are introducing a huge logical error into our world. Do you... understand what consequences this might lead to?"

Mobius was quite serious.

She didn't know what exactly had caused the "Previous Era," which should have disappeared, to reappear – perhaps for them, the deceased of the past, this was indeed a unique opportunity, but for the current civilization, or even for this world, this would become a disaster leading the future into the unknown.

Like the branches of a plant, the withered branches of the past and the new branches appeared in the form of "one branch" – one timeline. This was bound to cause various problems.

For example, competing for nutrients, leading to the death of both, or being detected by the main body and considered an error, thus being "pruned."

If that was the case, leaving the Previous Era alone, letting it "perish," and returning everything to its original state should be the correct choice.

At least that way, the new era would still have a future.

"Of course."

The pink-haired girl listened to her words, but didn't waver, responding with a smile, and teased in a joking tone, "The Dr. Mobius in my memory wouldn't be so sentimental."

"With Mobius's personality, shouldn't you be more confident?"

"Hmph."

Mobius snorted.

—This was indeed true. Sentimentality and hesitation weren't her style. Even if she was referring to her original, she wouldn't object to this. But to emphasize the difference between herself and her original, she still said discontentedly,

"I'm not her."

"But you should still give me a definite answer, even for that annoying woman."

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

Hearing this, Mobius's blood pressure instantly spiked, almost thinking she was seeing that annoying woman... ah, it was indeed "Elysia's" skin, so it was fine.

But before she could get angry, the latter smiled and said,

"Although I don't quite understand what you mean, don't worry, Mobius.

The things you're worried about won't happen.

I promise you."

Hearing this, Mobius's expression changed uncertainly. She couldn't really see through this man named Jiang Qiao.

But she could definitely conclude one thing.

—This guy, just as annoying as that annoying woman!

"Forget it… you'd better think this through yourself." Although she had always been thinking of going out, Mobius was very clear about the fact that she was "dead." The state of the world wasn't her greatest concern. The Current Era was Kevin and their worry, and wasn't there her original and MEI to hold the fort for the Previous Era? She didn't bother thinking about such things anymore.

Thinking of this, Miss Snake waved her hand.

"I've already informed Klein. After you go out, it will give you the data backup I prepared for you."

—That was the Previous Era's technology stored in the Elysian Realm. Although there wasn't as much as in the Void Archives or the ruins outside, after all, the purpose of the Elysian Realm wasn't to store knowledge.

But those she prepared for Jiang Qiao were definitely crucial for the Previous Era.

Soulium manufacturing technology, Stigmata technology – not the half-baked kind of Schicksal's artificial Stigmata, but the crystallization of the Previous Era's wisdom. There were also AI, battle androids, the final version of MANTIS soldier technology, and hundreds of other technologies.

These were the precious wealth accumulated by the Previous Era in the decades after fighting against the Honkai. They were sealed at the beginning of civilization due to the failure of Project Ember and World Serpent's dormancy. Now they had a use.

As for the problem of "Honkai scaling with civilization," Mobius also made a brief note. She believed that her original, Dr. MEI and the others, would handle it properly.

"And also..."

"Klein, right?"

"[Elysia]" smiled and said the name.

She knew that Mobius couldn't resist mentioning this name.

After all, the predecessor of the "Flawless" and Klein were Miss Snake's darlings.

After their death in the battle against the Herrscher of Dominance, this became an eternal pain in Mobius's heart. Although she later made a Klein as a replacement – as she said, to Mobius, Klein wasn't a substitute for anyone, she was herself, that's all.

"Hmph!"

Although she had originally wanted him to take care of Klein, after he took the initiative to mention it, Mobius felt a little unhappy. She snorted lightly, but didn't deny it, just mentally stomping on the "annoying woman" in front of her – inadvertently surpassing the previous two "annoying women."

However, before she left, Jiang Qiao thought for a moment and gave a reminder – to prepare for the Herrscher of Erosion.

After all, the Key of Erosion had already been taken away by him from this era. If there was anyone in the Elysian Realm who was more confident in fighting against the Herrscher of Erosion, it would probably be Mobius.

Mobius didn't turn around to answer.

But that was enough.

He knew that with Mobius's personality, she would definitely keep these words in mind.

Then, he should go say hello to Original Elysia next.

He wondered what she was doing now…
