Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

Looking around at Aponia, encased in an ice sculpture, and Kiana, starving and unconscious, the scenery on either side of the minecart was slowly shifting...

"Hehe, chicken legs, sandwiches, pizza, hmm?"

"Bitter melon juice... Ugh!! I don't want to drink bitter melon juice made by Auntie Period! Auntie Period, stay away!"

Little Kiana was talking in her sleep, gesturing wildly inside the minecart, seemingly resisting the bitter melon juice that Theresa offered her in her dream. It must have been a rather unpleasant dream.

After a moment... the minecart finally came to a stop.

Ellie, whose eyes were full of stars and who was being used as a badminton shuttlecock, was finally able to catch her breath. However, this time, Little Mebius simply picked Ellie up and roughly restrained her to a small cross.

It seems that Alicia, who used to tease Mebius, has been collectively disliked by the little Mebius's.

Xia Yuan, as the chief sacrifice, enjoyed a completely different treatment from Ai Li. He was led by the mysterious priestess, Snake, towards the center of the sacrificial altar, where the Möbius strip was located, the core of infinity [∞].

Xia Yuan was placed in the center by the mysterious priestess, who gestured for her to wait there while she went to find him some oranges... Then, the other contestants were gradually moved to either side of the Möbius strip.

"Mmmmmm~~~"

Just then, a strange whimpering sound caught Xia Yuan's attention.

Following the direction of the sound, they found Padofelis bound to a cross, with something stuffed in her mouth that prevented her from making a sound.

Seeing the girl's pleading eyes, Xia Yuan couldn't bear it.

However, Xia Yuan himself was also being watched by the adorable snakes, so he bent down and poked the little Mebius who was guarding him, signaling the other to remove the thing from Padofelis's mouth.

Little Mébius looked up at Xia Yuan, then at Padofelis on the cross. She seemed to understand something, and skipped over to Padofelis to remove the snake skin that had been stuffed into the girl's mouth.

"Ptooey! I can finally speak! I was so frustrated holding it in!"

Little Möbius approached Xia Yuan with the snake slough, seemingly wanting to give it to him. However, seeing the glistening saliva covering the slough, Xia Yuan politely declined the snake's offer.

"Hey, Xia Yuan, you got arrested too?"

"Wait, why is it that only Brother Xia Yuan wasn't tied up! Sister Little Snake, this is discrimination! We strongly protest this extremely unfair treatment!"

"Hmm... perhaps in the eyes of the snakes, I am barely considered the main sacrifice, while you, Pado, are the secondary sacrifice?"

"Hey, are Little Snake Sister and the others really going to summon Big Snake Sister? Brother Xia Yuan, if we go by what you say, the main sacrifice can't be..."

Padofelis struck a pose and expression on the cross that suggested she was about to die on the spot, her eyes rolled back.

"Brother Xia Yuan, may you rest in peace~"

Seeing the sympathy in the girl's eyes, Xia Yuan hadn't known before that Pado would have said anything, but after Pado mentioned it, Xia Yuan suddenly began to worry about the fate that awaited him.

Why was Mébius so kind to me just now? Was it because I only had my last moments left? A cold hand was handed to me...

But before things cool down, Xia Yuan had a slightly bolder idea.

“Um…Paddo, how about we switch? You be the chief sacrifice and I'll be the assistant sacrifice. It must be hard to stay on the cross all the time, so let me bear it for you, little Paddo.”

"Hmph, dream on! Brother Xia Yuan, do you think we're stupid? Do you think we're that easy to fool? We're not trading!"

That's all~

Padofelis made a face at Xia Yuan and stuck out her playful little tongue.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Xia Yuan glanced at the snake molt in Little Mebius's hand and gestured for him to return the gift to Padofelis.

"Hey, wait... wait, Brother Xia Yuan, aside from being Snake Sister's main sacrifice, we can discuss anything else. For example, your favorite person, or anything you haven't said yet, we can help you with that. Snake Sister, please don't come any closer! Ugh..."

Padofelis's little mouth was sealed shut again.

Xia Yuan silently turned away, ignoring the sobbing coming from the side, and sat quietly in the center of the Möbius strip prepared by the Snake Legion, awaiting the fate that awaited him.

After a while, a lush green wardrobe was pushed to Xia Yuan's side by the little Mébius brothers.

Chapter 214 The new master of the Snake Legion is of course me, Little Gretchen!

Out of curiosity~

Xia Yuan secretly peeked through the crack into the wardrobe.

It seemed that the wardrobe contained all sorts of strange little dresses that Ellie had given to Mebius. However, in a corner that Xia Yuan had not yet noticed, a petite figure in azure blue was nestled in the wardrobe, fast asleep.

"Huhuhu~"

at the same time.

Little Mebius placed the fairy Airi and the other contestants in their designated positions one after another. Even Qianjie, who had fallen and frozen into an ice sculpture and stopped thinking, was dragged up by Little Mebius and the others.

Perhaps the snakes weren't satisfied yet...

As they were pulling the frozen, ice-sculpted Qianjie from the bottomless abyss, a little Mebius, who had crawled onto Qianjie's head, was painting on him with a paintbrush he had found in a wardrobe.

【（゜ロ゜）】

Xia Yuan gazed at Little Mebius, who was guarding him beside him.

Looking at the little guy's harmless appearance, if these little cuties didn't bite so much, he would really like to keep a few of them. In some ways, the snakes are much more obedient than Ellie.

that's all......

The preparations were completed thanks to the joint efforts and cooperation of the young Möbius.

[The summoning ritual officially begins~]

The torches planted by the snakes on both sides suddenly burst into flames.

The little Möbiuss laid out a stack of carpets decorated with ∞ patterns, the carpets naturally opening up...

Until it rolled down to Xia Yuan's feet.

The mysterious priest serpent, supported by two little Möbius and reverently worshipped by the serpents on either side, walked step by step to Xia Yuan's side, about to summon the true master of the serpent army.

【Infinite·Mébius】

"Snake snake snake snake snake~~"

"Hiss—!"

[Awaken, Möbius ...

As he watched thousands of little Möbius kneeling rhythmically toward him, Xia Yuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Was the sacrificial ritual of using himself as a sacrifice to summon Möbius about to begin?

Xia Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

But after a while, I didn't feel any pain.

So Xia Yuan quietly opened his eyes and looked around. There was only the hissing of the little Mébius whispering among themselves. Other than that, nothing seemed to have happened, and everything was still as calm as ever.

The mysterious serpent priest examined the paper in his little hand carefully.

Just as she thought something had gone wrong with her summoning ritual, the wardrobe next to Xia Yuan was slowly pushed open from the inside. Gretchen stretched, rubbed her half-open eyes, and looked around at her surroundings with some curiosity.

"Where am I? Hey... so many Aunt Möbius? They're so small and cute~"

"Little Gretchen?! What are you doing in Möbius's wardrobe?"

Looking at the petite figure in azure blue in the wardrobe, Xia Yuan asked with some surprise.

Hearing that familiar and comforting voice, a strand of hair on little Greta's head stood up and swayed as she knelt inside the wardrobe and looked in the direction of the voice.

"Hey, Brother Xia Yuan, Gretchen finally found you~"

Her words were filled with the joy and happiness of a young girl. Gretchen never expected that she would find her brother Xia Yuan in this unfamiliar environment after waking up.

As for why she was here, that's a long story.

She was on the train heading to Mount Taixu, but her brother Xia Yuan, the train conductor, suddenly disappeared.

And so...

Barefoot little detective Gretchen searches for Xia Yuan's whereabouts on the train.

The girl searched the train thoroughly but still couldn't find it.

But they found Aunt Mebius encased in an ice sculpture, with a hairdryer constantly drying and melting the ice on her body.

And then...

A space unfolded beneath Aunt Mébius's feet, and Gretchen fell down as well. When Gretchen awoke again, she saw Xia Yuan and little Aunt Mébius.

"That's how it happened, Brother Xia Yuan."

Greta, munching on her food, pointed at Xia Yuan and began to tell her the story that had happened to her and the adventures of the little detective.

But at this moment, the Snake Legion seemed to be in turmoil. Seeing Gretchen suddenly appear from the wardrobe, the little Mebius kneeling on both sides looked at each other, exchanging bewildered glances.

They then seemed to discuss it for a long time.

A little Mebius was pushed forward, holding a black crown in her hands. She slowly approached Gretsch, seemingly gesturing for Gretsch to kneel down.

The reason is simple: she couldn't reach it.

"Little Aunt Mebius, do you want Gretchen to squat down?"

"hiss~~"

Little Mebius, holding the crown that represents "infinity," looked very excited.

Gretchen slowly crouched down, and Little Mebius placed the crown on the girl's head, bouncing and twisting as if celebrating the arrival of the Lord of Cinder.

“Hey, little Gretchen, since the snakes consider you their king, why don’t you give the order now to take Velvet Eden and the others down from the cross?”

Looking at the scene before me...

The little Mébius sisters had clearly mistaken little Gretchen, who was inside the wardrobe, for their owner.

Such an opportunity.

Xia Yuan naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity, and quietly whispered in Gretchen's ear.

"Mmm... Brother Xia Yuan, your warm breath is tickling Gretchen's ears. Since it's Brother Xia Yuan's order, Gretchen will definitely do her best to do it."

It was not only to live up to Xia Yuan's expectations, but also for her own growth.

"Um... little Aunts Mebius, the summoning ritual is over. Could you please release little sister Alicia, big sister Paddo, big sister Velvi, big sister Eden, and big brother Xia Yuan's friends?"

Gretchen made the request as Xia Yuan had just instructed.

Upon hearing Gretsch's instructions, some of the little Mébius began to act, preparing to untie the people bound to the crosses and remove their restraints and restrictions.

However, some of the younger Möbius stopped the other party from doing so.

It seems that some kind of division has arisen within the Snake Legion, with at least 50% of the Little Mebius not acknowledging that the sky-blue girl who suddenly popped out of the wardrobe is the true master of the Snake Legion.

Because her appearance doesn't seem aggressive at all....

Of course, the most crucial difference is the color; there is a fundamental difference between lush green and deep blue.

Chapter 215 Grandma Mébius

Since opinions are divided...

The remaining 50% of the Little Mebius unanimously agreed to summon the true master of the Serpent Legion in their own way. Hundreds of Little Mebius gathered together and piled up into a round sphere.

With more and more young Möbius joining in.

A colossal Mebius, as large as a building tens of meters tall and resembling a tank-class Honkai Beast, has been born!

"Aunt Möbius, so big... so tall, I love it~"

Little Gretchen looked up at the giant Möbius, her eyes filled with longing and yearning. When would she be able to grow as tall as this super-sized Aunt Möbius?

However, Xia Yuan felt that the giant Mebius formed by the fusion of the snakes seemed a bit dim-witted, appearing rather simple-minded and silly.

Her head bobbed back and forth, completely failing to grasp the essence of Möbius's philosophy.

The mysterious serpent priest pulled out a well-preserved photograph that he had just found in the wardrobe. The photo album showed a smiling Alicia and a Mebius with a look of disgust in his eyes.

The mysterious serpent held up the photos and compared them.

On the left is Little Gretchen wearing the [Infinity Crown], and on the right is a super-sized Mebius. The mysterious priestess shook her head in disappointment; neither of them quite matched the person in the album.

Neither of them are the true masters of the Snake Legion, and they are vastly different from the people in the photo album...

Just then, the wardrobe suddenly moved on its own, and a green-haired girl slowly rose from beneath it. She leaned lazily against the throne and slowly appeared before everyone.

The mysterious serpent priest was visibly excited when he saw the emerald-green maiden on the throne.

The true master of the Snake Army has finally arrived.

The ice sculptures that had settled on the girl's body seemed to have melted. The girl slowly opened her bright eyes, her dark green vertical pupils staring blankly at the people in front of her. Mebius had not yet figured out the current situation from his slumber.

"Huh? My hands have gotten a little smaller again... Alicia, what are you up to now!"
