Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

All those precious treasures from the previous era were given to Möbius and his companions when the pre-civilization Eden bid farewell to this world....

As for the latter group, while some were indeed short of money, wealth was truly of little use at that time.

Looking at the large pile of valuable but essentially trashy gifts from his colleagues... Dr. Möbius, who was in charge of handling this fortune and found it troublesome, casually found a vault, stuffed everything inside, and then rolled a password with his face.

"So... Dr. Mebius forgot the password because she just randomly rolled her face, which prevented you from opening the vault. And with your force, the vault was basically destroyed along with the treasure..."

Snow looked at the two exquisitely designed rings, scratched his hair, and looked at Alicia, who was standing next to him, looking somewhat troubled.

These two rings, which can be considered works of art, are indeed missing something... for example, their settings are completely empty....

"That is indeed a troubling problem, my friend—"

"But please don't worry, Mr. Gray Serpent and Klein have already entered the Land of Bliss—"

Miss Eden was still somewhat drunk, reeking of alcohol, which prompted Snow to whisper something to Alicia—

"Ellie, how much alcohol did you give Lady Eden?"

"Eh...?"

"Just one bottle... but I don't know why Eden collapsed so suddenly—"

Miss Alicia seemed somewhat confused when this matter was brought up.

"May I ask, where did you find this wine?"

Upon hearing that a bottle had been knocked down, Snow's lips twitched, and he had a bad feeling. Although Lady Eden's alcohol tolerance was very low... she was still a fusion warrior after all. What did she drink to be knocked down by a bottle?

"Um... this was a gift from that bartender named Brownie. She said it was a greeting gift and a token of friendship. We had a really nice chat at the time."

"Oh, by the way, she said this bottle of wine is called 'Water of Life'?"

Miss Pink Fairy scratched her hair, looking somewhat confused...

"The water of life... the legendary vodka plus, how about that—"

The blonde girl immediately rolled her eyes—are all the things you ducks send this powerful? Why don't you learn from Bronya in the original world?

"Oh, by the way, Miss Bronya also gave me a bottle of the exact same one. I think it's a specialty from her area?"

"Ellie".

The blonde girl looked at Alicia with a serious expression.

"Ugh?"

"Remember... don't give this to Eden to drink alone. It needs to be diluted, or mixed with other alcoholic or fruit juices to make cocktails—this stuff has a very high alcohol content, you can stuff a piece of cotton in it and use it as a Molotov cocktail."

"Ah... okay?"

Alicia, momentarily stunned, nodded, while Lady Eden beside her waved dismissively.

"My friend, it's alright—this feeling of being enveloped in drunkenness is an incredibly wonderful sensation for an artist..."

"Oh right, I almost forgot to get to the point—my friend, although we were all successfully resurrected thanks to you, you know how memories are; as humans, it's impossible for us to remember every single detail clearly."

Although she was a little drunk from being plied with drinks by Ellie, Lady Eden seemed to still remember her business.

"Hmm...I think I understand. Lady Eden, you mean to have Grey Serpent and Klein search through Paradise for those digitized memories that you can hardly recall, right?"

"Ah...right, looking for some...um, residual data?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the code that Dr. Möbius forgot or can't recall should be there..."

Eden nodded, confirming the girl's guess—but for the two of them in paradise, things were less pleasant...

Seeing this incredibly unique little gadget speak human language startled even the gray snake and Klein he had left behind—

"A ghost...a ghost!"

The sudden appearance of such a peculiar little creature in a paradise where, theoretically, consciousness no longer existed, truly startled Klein. In a moment of panic, she forcibly severed her link with the Gray Serpent from the Paradise of the Past...

And that wasn't all. Awakening in the real world, Klein leaped up and rushed to the server room, frantically cutting down all connections to Paradise, physically severing its external links...

"Although I really want to criticize Miss Klein for your excessive and reckless behavior... however, you did very well this time."

Gray Serpent seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as he looked at the server data cables that Klein had all snapped off...

"Um... Mr. Gray Snake, do you know what that is?"

"The Herrscher, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is the twelfth—don't ask so many questions yet, Miss Klein. This is remote-controlled explosive. Let's split up and install it on these servers, then we'll go and notify those esteemed figures—"

Clearly, this peculiar little creature seems to be facing a major life crisis...

Good morning, I need your votes!

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 471 Engagement Ring and... Let's get a Herrscher to liven things up.jpg

"Um... Mr. Gray Snake—is this really a good idea for us?"

Miss Klein, in her normal state, always seemed to look tired, and her words carried a hint of listlessness.

At this moment, the green-haired little doll looked at the Paradise server group chat, which was filled to the brim with explosives. Even with its usual composure, the corner of its mouth twitched involuntarily.

Meanwhile, Ciora was carrying a large pile of documents and files, along with some personal belongings, onto the Destiny transport plane parked outside the base.

After announcing the merger of World Serpent and Destiny, Miss Raven planned to take this opportunity to visit the sky island villa that a certain blonde had promised her—of course, this was not the main reason.

The main reason is still the piles of explosives in front of the Gray Serpent, enough to blow up the snake's underground base into the sky...

"It's just an emergency plan—and according to the previous agreement with the current Bishop of Destiny and His Majesty's wishes, we are indeed going to move to the Sky Island of Destiny."

"The birth of the Herald of Domination simply brought this plan forward."

Watching the jackal grumbling as it pushed the experimental subject into the transport plane, Gray Snake gave Klein a brief explanation of the reason.

"So we're going to blow up this server group in a bit, right, Mr. Grey Serpent?"

Klein looked at the remote-controlled bombs he and Gray Serpent each held, still seeming somewhat incredulous...

The goal and objectives of one's own 50,000 years of work are about to be destroyed by one's own hands; anyone would be stunned in that situation...

“No, Miss Klein, as I said—this is just a contingency plan...we may not necessarily use such a crude approach.”

"In the words of that Bishop of Destiny, Miss Snow Apocalypse—this base has profound historical and cultural significance...could be opened as a museum?"

"Although I cannot agree with the bishop's idea of ​​opening a cultural and historical museum on this site... I have to admit that this site and the paradise of the afterlife it contains do have a unique significance."

Gray Snake decisively shook his head, rejecting Klein's conjecture, which made the little doll breathe a slight sigh of relief...

"So, Mr. Gray Serpent, are we just going to watch like this for now?"

"That's right—just watch... This Herrscher is currently trapped in the server and cannot leave. Let's draw conclusions after the Lord and that Bishop of Schicksal have finished dealing with the aftermath of the Herrscher of Domination's core."

The man nodded, glanced at the still-operating server group, and considered whether to cut off the power as well...

"Sigh...really, the plot was supposed to be about entering Paradise to find some data that Dr. Möbius himself forgot...why did it suddenly turn into a story about physically blowing up Paradise?!"

Klein glanced at the busy jackals and ravens beside him, and at himself and the idly gray snake, and muttered a complaint under his breath...

"Please don't worry about that. Miss Klein—I have already extracted the fragmented memories that Dr. Möbius left behind in Paradise."

"The vault that Lady Eden gifted to His Holiness and the others can now be opened, and the items can be loaded onto the transport ship..."

Seeing Klein starting to mutter to himself, Gray Serpent brought her some good news amidst all the bad news.

"Hmm... Anyway, regarding the birth of a Herrscher, let's contact Miss Alicia and the others who are currently in Europe first?"

"That's natural."

The gray snake nodded.

The town of Klosten on the other side—

Unaware of what had transpired at the distant World Serpent Base, the crowd stared blankly at the two exquisite wedding rings made of soul steel before them... contemplating whether to inlay them with something...

"Um... everyone, please share your opinions! Why are you all just looking?"

In the ensuing silence, the first to become restless was naturally Miss Alicia, who loved excitement. The pink fairy broke the quiet atmosphere and began trying to start a conversation...

"Ah...it is indeed a troubling problem—setting things...it seems that ordinary diamonds and the like are too commonplace."

Eden nodded, seemingly lost in thought—

"Five hundred years of unwavering love... diamonds? Hmm... in the face of such a long period of time... even diamonds are still too ordinary..."

Ms. Eden proposed an idea, then quickly dismissed it, seemingly unable to come up with an answer anytime soon...

Meanwhile, Otto and Karen were whispering to each other, seemingly discussing something—

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Mr. Otto and Miss Karen stepped forward, breaking the murmur of differing opinions—

"Thank you all for your kind offer—but I think we already have our own answer."

Otto Apocalypse's speech drew everyone's attention; all eyes turned to the blond man before them, eager to hear his own insights.

Snow seemed to have thought of something, and gave his father and mother a strange look...

"Ah... Dad, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

“Kallen and I have discussed it—we plan to take a small piece of our Herrscher core and embed it into these two rings.”

"..."

The group exchanged bewildered glances...

"Ah—that is indeed a good suggestion... If we consider the core of a Herrscher as a precious gem, then it must be the most valuable gem in the world... Moreover, this gem originates from its owner and is a part of them."

Miss Eden nodded approvingly, seemingly very pleased with Otto and Karen's idea.

"Huh? Grandpa, you really did steal the Herrscher of Dominion's core and use it yourself!!!"

Of course, there will always be some people who spoil the mood and pop up at the most inopportune moments... like a certain Theresa Apocalypse...

"Isn't this something everyone in Destiny agrees on? Theresa, why do you have this 'so you were the murderer' look on your face now...?"

Snow gave Theresa a strange look, his sharp gaze almost as if he were looking at a fool...

"Ahem... Have you finished discussing it?"

After finishing a phone call, Kevin, who hadn't commented until now, asked the group.

"Perhaps? Is there something you need, Ancestor?"
