After learning that the people in the group chat were very likely from other worlds, Mobius did not feel particularly surprised or shocked.
This had already been confirmed to exist during the early and middle stages of the civilization she belonged to.
The Divine Key, created from the core of the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of Void, could open the gates to the Sea of Quanta and achieve the purpose of observing other worlds.
As for whether it could allow someone to travel to other worlds...
Mobius was not sure. After all, no one had ever tried such a thing back then.
However, in theory, the Divine could indeed allow its user to travel to other worlds.
The prerequisite was having the coordinates of the corresponding world.
Although the existence of other worlds was not enough to attract Mobius's attention, the "people" from other worlds had a strong appeal to her.
What differences did they have from the humans in her world?
Were they exactly the same, or did they merely look the same?
What about their genes?
Mobius was extremely curious about all of this.
Originally, she had only been thinking about whether she could leave the Elysian Realm together with that girl named Lumine.
Once she got out, without restrictions from the likes of Elysia, she could have Gray Serpent prepare a body for her.
Then she could continue exploring the mysteries of Honkai in the current civilization.
But contrary to her expectations, the people in the group chat were all from different worlds.
Then how exactly had they come to the Elysian Realm?
The same method as that fellow named Levi?
"No."
Mobius rejected her own guess.
From the words between Lumine and Stelle, they should have been tricked by Levi today.
As for how they had been tricked... they had probably been taken to meet a researcher who had the same name as herself, Mobius.
Combining that with the fact that the people in this group chat came from different worlds.
In other words...
"Another world's me."
Mobius narrowed her eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing through her serpentine pupils.
But all of this was restrained when Klein returned.
[Lumine: @Mobius, I'm afraid the one-day trip to the Elysian Realm will have to be put on hold for a while.]
Mobius, who was talking with Klein, smiled when she saw the message.
[Mobius: It's fine. It just happens to give me some time to prepare properly.]
[Mobius: But since you're all from other worlds, how are you going to enter the Elysian Realm?]
"Interesting. There's even a chibi version of me as a sticker."
Mobius watched the group chat with great interest.
She quietly waited for the other group members to reply.
Very soon, Elysia finished composing her message and replied to her first.
[Elysia: Actually, it's very simple. The group chat has a function that allows you to travel between worlds.]
[Mobius: A function that allows you to travel between worlds?]
Seeing Elysia's reply, Mobius became even more interested in the group chat.
She gave the group chat a rough examination and discovered that it was not merely the simple communication platform she had guessed it was.
In an unnoticed corner, there was also a shop and a lottery interface.
[Bronya: Why is it like a game?]
'If this thing exists, why has nobody in the group ever mentioned it?'
'I'll go take a look...'
[Kiana: Don't touch it!]
[Elysia: ? You haven't gone to sleep yet?]
[Kiana: As the group owner of the chat group, I have to maintain the order of the chat group at all times!]
'If none of the group members are asleep, how could I possibly sleep?'
[Levi: Got it. You woke up because you were hungry.]
[Kiana: ...]
[Kiana: Anyway, in short, to put it simply.]
[Kiana: @Bronya, don't touch, don't touch, don't touch, don't touch... those two things!]
'Especially the gacha!'
The shop is the same. The points difference between uploading and purchasing is ten times. Even a dog would shake its head at another dog!
If the chat group issued missions frequently, say two or three missions every day, that would be one thing.
But this thing only issues missions when a group member encounters a life-threatening situation.
And!
With Levi in the group, what kind of threat do you think could possibly threaten a group member's life?
And so, the number of missions issued by the chat group became extremely scarce.
[Levi: Then I'll leave?]
[Kiana: Don't! I haven't finished talking yet!]
As the saying goes, you can't eat hot dog shit in a hurry.
'Can't Levi even wait this little bit of time?'
'How will he compete with other dog bastards for it in the future?'
Just thinking about it made Kiana worried about Levi's future.
[Levi: ...]
[Kiana: Although the missions have become pitifully scarce because of @Levi, this guy, the safety of the group members' lives has genuinely been guaranteed.]
'If it really happened like I said, with two or three life-threatening situations every day, who could stand it?'
With insufficient missions and not enough points, the shop module naturally became unpopular.
And the lottery module...
[Kiana: All I can say is, uninstall it from the chat group as soon as possible!]
It was obvious that Kiana had a lot of resentment.
Even though a long time had passed since the last time she pulled the gacha, she still couldn't let go of that incident.
At the same time, another group of people in the chat group were also talking.
[Mobius: How do I travel between worlds?]
[Elysia: There's a button in the chat group...]
Following Elysia's instructions, Mobius quickly found the button for traveling between worlds.
Seeing that Mobius had found the button so easily, Elysia added an explanation in the group.
[Elysia: But there's one thing you need to pay attention to. The worlds the chat group can travel to are limited to the worlds of group members, and you also need to submit a request to enter. You can only go after the group member agrees.]
This method was called traveling between worlds, but it was actually more like teleportation.
After receiving a group member's permission, you would be teleported to their side.
And, by extension, enter another world.
[Mobius: It requires permission?]
Seeing this question, Elysia replied without thinking, "That's right."
———
[Inside the Elysian Realm]
Mobius withdrew her gaze from the chat group and looked at the open portal in front of her, the pure white light shining into her eyes.
She could not see the scenery on the other side of the portal.
If Elysia had not lied to her, then the other side of this portal was another world.
However...
"It requires permission..."
Mobius's expression became slightly strange.
This portal had opened instantly after she chose to enter someone's world.
It was basically zero latency.
Yet people needed time to react, especially when she had silently submitted a request.
Their instinctive reaction would be to first see who it was, then think about whether they should approve it.
But this portal had indeed opened instantly, without the slightest delay.
In other words... the moment she submitted the request, the other party had agreed to her request to enter their world without even looking at who it was.
Looking at the portal that had appeared in the laboratory, Mobius called Klein over.
Looking at Klein's bewildered eyes, she did not notice at all that a square, perfectly shaped portal was standing beside her.
After confirming that Mobius had called her over for no reason, Klein returned to her original position with a puzzled expression.
'Could it really be like the others said, that there was something wrong with the doctor's brain...'
'No, a memory does not have a brain.'
It should be said, there was something wrong with her mental state.
Standing alone in front of the portal, Mobius repeatedly examined the portal that seemed to have grown out of the space of the Elysian Realm.
"In other words."
Other than herself, could no one else see this portal?
