***********************************

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Mobius, Hunter B-15, and Casey were in a state of trance, lost in the beautiful sight in front of their eyes.

Suddenly, a playful voice broke that state and brought them out of it.

"Yeah. It is so... magical." Mobius stared at the giant tree and sighed, speaking with emotions.

Seph smiled and patted his shoulder.

"What now?" Hunter B-15 asked.

Seph laughed and glanced at the tree. "Now, this structure will be able to handle the infinitely expanding timelines. You guys just have to keep an eye on it."

"But wouldn't in the future the timelines will collide with each other after expanding for long?" Casey asked curiously.

His question was quite decent and also spoke out the questions in everyone's hurt.

Seph smiled and shook his head, explaining patiently to them.

"There is no such thing as forever. Everything that has a beginning has an end. And no matter how much one struggles, one cannot escape this rule. It also applies to the timelines too."

"It must be how you explain the destruction of a universe and from the dead universe energy, another new universe will be born." Ouroboros contemplated over his words and muttered lightly.

"Exactly." Seph laughed and nodded his head. "All these timelines will expand until their end and then destroy themselves. It will make a whole circle."

"So, we don't have to do anything. These timelines will maintain themselves on their own?" Mobius put his hands over his hips and said.

Seph smiled, "Something like that. Now, your life is in your hands. Choose what you want to do. From here on out, you are the master of your own life. All of you!"

"And before I go back, here..." Seph approached Ouroboros and opened his palm, showing a small Miss Minutes floating in his hand.

"I will give it back to you. Use it carefully."

Ouroboros accepted the AI and nodded his head with a solemn expression.

"Are you really going back?" Mobius asked.

Seph smiled lightly and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, there are people waiting for me. Also, if you need my help, just pay me a visit. You guys have my address anyway."

"Hahaha... yeah. That we do." Mobius laughed lightly and extended his hand for a handshake.

Seph returned the gesture and politely shook hands with the guy before he opened a portal and disappeared into it.

"What are you planning to do now, Mobius?" Hunter B-15 stood beside Mobius and asked.

Mobius stared at the giant Yggdrasil and said. "I... want to go back and take a look at what I have been desperately trying to protect on the timeline."

"Will you come back?" She asked.

Mobius sighed and did not give a reply, just silently opening the space portal and disappearing into it.

Hunter B-15 looked at Casey, Ouroboros, and others before she shook her head with a bitter expression. She really had no idea whether Mobius would really return or not.

'This mess!... Will I be able to handle it or not...?'

On the other side, Seph appeared back into the living room, startling both Virginia and Hela.

"Relax, girls. It's me!" Seph quickly said when he saw Hela summoning a sharp blade in her hands.

Hela took a closer look at Seoh and retreated the weapon. But before she could add anything, Virginia jumped into Seph's arms and planted a kiss on his lips. She totally ignored the presence of Hela in the room and kissed Seph fiercely, happy for his return. She was so much worried for him.

Even though she had learned a bit about Seph from Hela but it was not enough to actually make her relax.

Seph rubbed Virginia's back and let her keep hugging him tightly. He looked at Hela and signaled to her that everything was totally fine.

Hela saw his eyes movement and nodded her head in understanding. She reeled in her curiosity and silently retreated, stepping out of the apartment and moving to the next door.

"Hey, everything is alright. Come here," Seph guided her to the sofa and two of them took their sears.

He saw that the pizza had been delivered in his absence and it was missing two slices, eaten by the two women.

"Are you alright? You are not hurt, right? Will they come again?"

Like an AK47, Virginia fired multiple questions all at once on Seph, overwhelming him completely.

He quickly covered her mouth and groaned. "Relax. I can only answer one question at a time. So, take it easy..."

Virginia slowly calmed down and Seph slowly explained to her what truly transpired on the other side and promised to her that no one would come to disturb her from that side again.

"So, they will never bother us again," Virginia asked again just to make sure.

Seph took a bite of the pizza slice and nodded his head. "They will not bother us but if they need my help, they can contact me."

Virginia listened to him and thought for a minute before she spoke. "Umm, can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What do you want to know?" Seph smiled.

"Hela told me a little bit about you. But I want to know more about you. Will you tell me...?"

Seph paused and looked at Virginia incredibly. He took a few seconds to respond. "Do you really want to know about me?"

Watching her nodding her head, he asked. "Why?"

Virginia's face flushed red as she fidgeted with her fingers, looking very nervous. "B-Because... because I... I like you..."

She wanted to say 'I Love You' but it was too much for her so she could only say that.

Seph could easily read her mind and saw through her thoughts. He sighed and took her hand into his hands, speaking softly.

"Since you have spoken your feelings then I cannot just ignore them. I will tell you what you want to know. But I want to warn you already that I might not be able to reciprocate your feelings in the way you want. So, be prepared." Seph said with an unusual serious expression, causing Virginia to become serious too.

Seph then slowly shared his life experience with the young woman. He told her about his Mercenary career, the way he died, and then arrived in an unfamiliar place. He then went on to tell her about Hel, his relationship with her, and the ending of it.

Virginia showed rich expressions throughout Seph's life story such as shock, disbelief, longing, happiness, sadness, loneliness, and much more, getting a deep understanding of the character of the man she fell in love with.
