Luo Mo said nonchalantly, "I was just teasing the cat."
They were also planning what outfit cards to exchange for next, having just acquired another one, bringing their total to about three.
Seeing that there weren't many crystals left, he casually drew one from the regular pool, as a way of celebrating the birth of the End Saint Mark.
[Currently holding 2657 crystals]
Strangely, it contained a four-star Kiana: Exam Preparation stigmata and two ordinary costume cards. The rest were practically useless to me.
He gave Kiana a strange look. Was her obsession really that deep? He was also secretly glad that he hadn't gone to the special gacha pool to draw from, otherwise he would have definitely lost a fortune.
And its effects...
Before Luo Mo could even look, he was interrupted by the communications station at Alicia's location.
"Kevin is here; he'll decide on the specific personnel and plans."
He glanced at her and saw Kiana with her eyes closed, successfully putting on the costume. A hazy light enveloped her, then quietly dissipated.
She saw neither disappointment nor joy.
Instead, it was... disbelief and bewildered eyes.
"Hmm~ it seems... there's no difference."
she murmured.
There is still much for her to explore regarding the End of the Holy Mark.
In the end, she couldn't escape that hug either, nor could she escape Mei's hug, as she was present at the scene.
A gentle hug, and the fresh scent of a young girl.
...
Kevin didn't arrive at the Golden Courtyard too early.
Compared to his usual strength and speed, the distance that should have taken him a few hours took him a whole day to travel by air in a human-like manner.
He didn't know what emotions he was feeling as he went to see those old friends he hadn't seen in a long time.
In this world, he is more like a passerby.
Even though we had once had discussions with our friends, we drifted apart for various reasons.
Once upon a time, once in a century, once in five hundred years... until we never meet again.
How much time has passed since then?
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to keep trying.
Looking at the plaque of the Golden Courtyard and the cherry blossoms in full bloom inside, with wisps of petals falling down, he paused for a moment, and whose image came to mind again.
But he didn't stop; instead, he continued forward.
Chapter 60 Who did Alicia learn from?
squeak-
Quietly, the door opened.
A gentle breeze, carrying the fresh scents of earth and cherry blossoms, caressed the cold-looking man as he walked slowly along a short distance.
The steps of the door seemed to be covered with some fresh soil, and there was also some inconspicuous moss underneath, which was tinged with a thin layer of green.
Hey, long time no see! Did you miss me?
Alicia poked her head out from the crack in the door. She looked up in surprise and saw her long-lost companion in front of her. A smile appeared on her lips.
"Yes, Alicia, it's been a long time."
Kevin nodded slightly, glancing almost imperceptibly at the garden. The flowers and plants were exquisite, as if they were carefully tended by Eden, at least not by Möbius. They must have truly fallen in love with life here.
This also allowed him to completely let go of a certain idea in his mind.
"Don't be so serious. Look, if we're really talking about a long time ago, didn't we just meet a week ago? I thought you were going to go straight for Su Luo and then... hmph."
The place where they stood seemed to be a dividing line. He was on this side, and she was on the other.
One place is gripped by a biting cold wind, while another is bathed in the bright sunshine of spring.
Alicia took a few steps forward quite naturally, easily dispelling the previously icy atmosphere. Kevin always unconsciously displayed his coldness, and as a result, no one around him approached him.
Or perhaps, he has already gotten used to the feeling of being stared at by others.
If in the beginning of the pre-civilization era, he was unable to actively control his body temperature, now, after spending countless years in solitude, he can fully control the power of cold.
"Luckily, you have changed somewhat~"
She raised an eyebrow, her smile unchanged as she looked at him. "Oh dear, what's wrong? Afraid to go in and see your old friends now? Hmm?"
"No, it's just that you happened to be out."
"Oh? Is it really true?" Alicia grinned mischievously and drew closer to his gaze, her blue eyes meeting his without a trace of emotion.
If it were Luo Mo, his eyes would probably flinch for a moment... but he always manages to quickly disguise himself.
For some reason, the thought flashed through Alicia's mind. She then took a step back, creating distance between herself and him. With her hands behind her back, she circled around twice, then skipped a couple of steps ahead.
He opened the door for them, bowing slightly as a gesture of invitation.
"Alright then~ Come on, let's go see everyone! And see... how they're planning to save Gretchen, who's thousands of miles away. Sigh, she's being entangled by something called So... have you heard of it?"
"Have heard a little bit."
In reality, he had only heard the name from some travelers while wandering the Sea of Quanta. They came from a civilization different from Earth, and at that time... he had no interest in asking further.
But so what...?
He has already reached the pinnacle of humanity and has nothing to fear.
"Hmm... how should I begin? Let's start with Sue and Gretchen. Sue is alright; he's watching over us from afar... uh, not from where he died."
“I know,” Kevin said calmly, his trust in his friend evident. “I also believe he won’t die.”
"...Sigh, that's great. I wonder if Dr. May was jealous of the trust and affection between you two back then? Hmm...Alright, let's get back to Gretchen's matter now."
She patted the sofa, indicating that she should sit wherever she liked, but upon seeing the faces of all her old friends, Kevin nodded to each one.
"Although I know you might prefer to chat with Su, and he does know more about everything than I do, and you might be closer to him... there's nothing I can do. The place he's stuck in right now doesn't allow for casual conversation. Last time, we only exchanged a few words before he hurriedly logged off."
"And Gretchen, she was forced into hibernation by So, unable to move, and could only repeatedly call out Uncle Kevin's name in her memories, how pitiful..."
Alicia extended her index finger, a faint sorrow in her eyes.
Kevin clenched his fists, his eyes sharpening.
Alicia might exaggerate, but she wouldn't lie all the time... Gretchen's matter had indeed increased his anger considerably.
"Oh, right, and that crystal ball, it seems to be an ecosphere from which Eden's song could be heard... Well, I don't know what it looks like anymore, since none of those can compare to Eden's song. But... that crystal ball is broken, and so is Fu Hua's warm jade."
She glanced at Fu Hua beside her, blinked, and repeated, "They're all shattered."
Fu Hua: "..."
She really wanted to say, "There's no need to emphasize it anymore." Besides, she now knew who Alicia had learned it from.
But it must be said, this tactic is very effective.
She, who had not been angry before, now felt a fire burning in her heart.
...
Luo Mo also chose to go to the Golden Garden, and brought Kiana and Mei along, as they were also quite curious about this matter.
Moreover... Luo Mo felt that taking Kiana along to see the place might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Why don't you meet Old Master Kevin?
This also puts pressure on the two of them; it's unavoidable that Mei didn't get the Stigmata. Once the Paradise storyline ends, there should be some free time.
Using the crystals obtained from the Alicia storyline to upgrade Mei's stigmata is also a kind of subtle NTR, isn't it?
Luo Mo was in a rather pleasant mood, pondering the unseen matter, unaware that Alicia had already perfectly inherited the spirit of the Thousand-Man Clan. Could it be that while she was influencing the Thousand-Man Herrscher, the Thousand-Man Herrscher was also influencing her?
In any case, Luo Mo refused to admit that it was his problem.
...
In the Golden Courtyard, in order to give Kevin a correct understanding, the heroes kicked Alicia out, stopping her from telling those strange and horrifying stories.
Compared to Luo Mo's mother and the seven dwarfs, and the birth of children between Vita and Gretchen, as well as the untold stories between Su and So... Alicia's explanation is just as good!
On the contrary, she not only inherited those things, but also extended them very well.
For example... it was a popular place for cute girls to stick together, and Su also transformed into a girl there. But unfortunately, a natural disaster struck, and a flood swept away everything. In order to save the world for love and justice, Fu Hua had to put on a magical girl outfit and save the world with Gretchen!
In short, while Kevin couldn't help but turn his head repeatedly, staring at Alicia and Fu Hua who were already present with a puzzled look, everyone still chose to silence Alicia, specifically by having Mebius cover her mouth.
I don’t know who I learned this from!
Fortunately, Alicia did provide a proper introduction to So's strength and current situation, rather than just giving a vague overview.
That's why everyone reluctantly listened to his nonsense all the way through.
Kevin seemed to understand Sue's worries and Alicia's hints.
She probably feared that because she had a close relationship with Su, she would place more weight on Su's words in her mind.
But... having already given up on the Stigmata Project, how could he fear an enemy weaker than the End? If he didn't want to skip class, then he would face it!
He proved himself before one-tenth of the power of the end, he has reached the limit of humanity, he will cross that invisible threshold, he will let the mark of salvation and the ideals of all people be above the end!
"I will defeat her, no... I will completely destroy that clone of hers!"
Kevin's words carried a chilling aura, calm yet confident; he needed no further explanation, for he would win.
Those present fell silent for a moment, looking at their companions from 50,000 years in the future. They felt a sense of unfamiliarity mixed with excitement.
Mebius narrowed her snake-like eyes, staring at Kevin for several seconds. He had indeed impressed her. Had he now taken on the responsibilities of a leader?
Qian Jie didn't protest, but his eyes behind the mask seemed to be burning fiercely. This time, Kevin's answer satisfied him.
After a few seconds of pause, Vilvi realized what was happening and continued her explanation.
"Then, let's continue thinking about our plan."
