"Akio…" Rosalyne murmured softly in her unconscious state.
Akio and the others quickly turned their attention to her, only to see her open her hazy eyes.
"She's awake?"
"Her aura feels different?" Raiden Makoto looked at Rosalyne in Akio's arms with some surprise. The once haughty and overbearing woman now seemed much more subdued.
"Akio!" As soon as Rosalyne opened her eyes, she saw Akio—the one who had just saved her from the sea of vengeful spirits.
Rosalyne seemed to have changed quite a bit. She tightly grasped Akio's hand and said, "Take me to the ideal world I've been searching for! I want to witness it with you."
"Of course," Akio nodded with a smile.
"Hmm…" Rosalyne seemed to sense something. She extended her hand, and a flame appeared in her palm.
"My power? The Eternal Flame? Why?" Rosalyne was puzzled. The Eternal Flame was a power that burned her soul. Every time she used it, she would feel the excruciating pain of her body and soul being consumed.
But now, even though she had summoned the Eternal Flame, she felt no pain at all. It was as if she had completely mastered this power.
"I used the Abyss Flower to repair your body and soul," Akio said with a faint smile.
"The power you received from the Tsaritsa has disappeared, replaced by my Herrscher of Ice power," Akio explained. "You still possess the power of the Flame and the power of ice. The balance between these two forces ensures that using the Eternal Flame will no longer harm you."
"So, Rosalyne, feel free to use the Eternal Flame from now on. It won't bring you pain anymore," Akio said gently.
"Indeed… you are my salvation," Rosalyne's face flushed slightly, and her eyes filled with reverence.
"Don't use the power of the Delusion anymore," Akio added.
"Alright~" Rosalyne didn't hesitate. She took out the Cryo Delusion and handed it to Akio.
In the past, she had relied on this power to suppress the burning of the Eternal Flame. But now that she had Akio, she no longer needed such a costly power.
Akio took the Delusion and, with a slight squeeze of his hand, it turned to dust. The lingering resentment of the god within it was instantly dissolved and devoured by the power of life and death.
Rosalyne now resembled a docile kitten, nestling in Akio's arms.
Hiiragi Chisato knelt nearby, watching this scene. Then her gaze fell on Rosalyne's ample chest, which was undeniably impressive.
"Tsk…" Hiiragi Chisato glanced at the three Raiden sisters. Well, they were all similarly blessed in that department.
Even Kujou Sara, hidden beneath her clothes, had a towering figure.
Among the group of D-cup individuals, Hiiragi Chisato felt like the lone C-cup, which made her both envious and acutely aware of the world's cruelty.
"Chisato? What are you thinking about?" Raiden Ei noticed Hiiragi Chisato's gaze lingering on her chest and asked curiously.
"Ah… my apologies, Sister Ei," Hiiragi Chisato quickly replied. When there were no outsiders, she usually referred to the Raiden sisters as "sister."
"Um, Sister Ei, can you tell me how you… grew so big?" Hiiragi Chisato whispered, gesturing to her chest.
"Hmm…" Raiden Ei pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know. Ever since I took human form from the lightning, I've been like this. It hasn't changed!"
The Raiden twins were the purest embodiments of thunder in this world. Their appearance and physique had been fixed from the moment they took human form and would not change.
"It's natural!" Hiiragi Chisato felt even more envious upon hearing this.
"Sara," Hiiragi Chisato tugged at Kujou Sara's sleeve and asked, "How did you… grow so big?"
Unlike Raiden Ei, Kujou Sara blushed slightly at such a personal question. She shook her head and said, "I've always trained and eaten normally. I don't know either."
"Actually, being too big isn't always a good thing," Kujou Sara said with a hint of frustration. "During training, it can be quite uncomfortable. When I was younger, I had to wrap myself tightly with cloth."
"It seems you're all naturally gifted," Hiiragi Chisato sighed, glancing at herself. She wasn't exactly small, but she didn't compare to the others in terms of fullness.
"Chisato, I think you're already perfect," Akio's voice chimed in.
Hiiragi Chisato looked up to see that Akio had let go of Rosalyne. Rosalyne, as usual, was massaging Akio, but unlike before, she now had a happy expression on her face.
"R-Really?" Hiiragi Chisato asked softly, looking at Akio.
She and Akio had been through everything together, and she knew all of his little quirks.
"Of course. You know that, don't you?" Akio said with a mischievous grin, his eyes scanning her.
Hiiragi Chisato's figure was the most slender and graceful among all of his lovers. Her size didn't need to be exaggerated—too much would feel unnatural. There was no denying that Hiiragi Chisato's figure was perfect.
Especially after inheriting the power of the Pseudo-Herrscher core of ice, her body had been perfectly restored, without a single flaw. She was like the most exquisite piece of jade.
"You're so bad…" Hiiragi Chisato pouted. "You always like to hold onto that…"
"I thought you didn't like smaller ones," she muttered.
"That's impossible," Akio said with a sly smile. "Chisato, tonight I'll show you exactly what I like."
"Hmm…" Hiiragi Chisato thought of their past encounters, her eyes softening with affection as she nodded shyly.
A young girl in love naturally craved intimacy and didn't want to be apart from her beloved for even a moment.
As they chatted happily, Rosalyne gently massaged Akio's shoulders. She seemed to remember something and turned to him. "Akio~ What should I do about the Tsaritsa?"
"What do you think?" Akio asked with a smile.
"I was only responsible for the Gnoses of Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Liyue. Apart from Inazuma's Gnosis, I've already sent the other two back to Zapolyarny Palace," Rosalyne said softly. "I want to stay by your side, to witness the beautiful world I've been searching for."
"Of course you can," Akio nodded. "After we retrieve the Electro Gnosis, you can deliver it to the Tsaritsa. After that, you'll stay with me."
"Alright," Rosalyne nodded. The Gnoses of the other nations were handled by her colleagues. She had already dedicated many years to Snezhnaya, and now that she had a new purpose, she wanted to stay.
The Tsaritsa… she would let her go, right? She's so kind—she definitely will! Rosalyne thought to herself.
