Zeus looked at the reunited people with emotion. These past few days, although Theresa was initially very angry, when Zeus made Cecilia a familiar-like body, which could be big or small (by the way, little Cecilia is really cute), after Theresa saw Cecilia, all thoughts of 'Grandpa' were thrown aside. An old man from 500 years ago, and her good friend, how could she not know who to choose? So three days later, Zeus saw a bouncing Theresa again, a Theresa happier than before.
"Why aren't you accompanying Kallen anymore?"
Hearing the footsteps behind her and the faint scent of cherry blossoms, Zeus knew who it was without turning around. But shouldn't she be with Kallen? Why was she coming to her? Not even Kiana could come over and bother Zeus. Mei and Bronya were being pulled by Himeko, and Theresa's full attention was on Cecilia. Just as Zeus was enjoying her leisure, Sakura walked over.
"You, are you leaving again?"
Without answering Zeus's question, Sakura walked directly beside Zeus and asked, looking at Zeus's profile.
How sharp. Indeed, Zeus planned to leave soon. The Honkai of this world was a huge source of nourishment in Zeus's eyes. Now, deep within this Earth, Zeus had opened up a small space, where a golden Honkai Gem was frantically collecting Honkai energy. In just these few days, the Honkai energy in the gem would break through its limit, and Zeus would use this energy to properly repair her Divine Spark.
However, Zeus's intention to leave was now discovered by Sakura. Cecilia probably noticed it too. Sakura's direct question instantly left Zeus, who hadn't prepared her farewells, speechless. This made Sakura even more certain of her guess.
"Can you, please don't go?"
As Zeus remained silent, she suddenly felt her clothes being tugged, and Sakura's slightly choked voice came from beside her ear. After waiting so many years, she had thought she would never see her again, but unexpectedly they reunited under these circumstances. Now, Zeus was leaving again, and Sakura had a premonition that once Zeus left, she might never see her again.
"I must leave, Sakura, but I promise I will return."
Zeus, who feared girls crying the most, reluctantly turned around. Looking at Sakura, whose eyes were filled with tears, she somewhat painedly wiped away her tears. A helpless Zeus could only make this promise in the end.
The atmosphere between the two, seen from a distance, was like that of lovers about to part.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye?"
Hearing the question from behind, Kallen's two braids even stood up in fright. Holding her startled little heart, Kallen turned her head and looked at the instigator with dissatisfaction. It wasn't that she didn't want to say goodbye, but the atmosphere between the two of them made it impossible for her to interrupt. Although she had been with Zeus for about 500 years, she had been mostly in slumber and hadn't really understood Zeus. Thinking about it now, she still felt a little guilty, after all, the other party had saved her.
Although the price was taking her body, now she had created one for each of them again! So, they hadn't lost anything at all, and had even received such great kindness from Zeus.
"I never thought that the little girl I saw back then would be older than me."
Cecilia looked at the two, craning her neck, and said with emotion. She had thought she was just a little girl back then, but she turned out to be older than her. This world was truly amazing.
"I know you're all out here!"
As Cecilia was feeling emotional, Zeus's voice suddenly rang out. This made the two helplessly look at each other. They had been discovered, this was awkward. When they walked out, they found that it wasn't just them; Himeko, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were all there. They all awkwardly looked at each other, then walked together in front of Zeus.
Looking at such a group of people, Zeus's eye twitched. Good heavens, this group had all sensed her intention to leave. Was it that obvious? She felt like she had hidden it pretty well!
"Since you're all here, you know I'm planning to leave. I won't tell you where I'm going! Even if I told you, you wouldn't find me. I also promise I'll come back to see everyone."
Since things had come to this point, there was no point in hiding it. Zeus said this, looking at their reluctant expressions. She didn't know how many times this had happened; she had experienced such things too many times, but her heart still felt sad.
"Be safe on your journey, we'll miss you."
In this somber atmosphere, Cecilia, with a gentle smile, walked in front of Zeus and tidied Zeus's slightly messy hair. Looking at the gentle Cecilia in front of her, Zeus couldn't help but feel emotional. As expected of someone experienced, she knew how to say goodbye in the least sorrowful way.
"I will, I'll miss you all, I'll be back."
After saying 'I will' three times in a row to everyone, Zeus disappeared in front of them before they could react, opening a portal and arriving in the space she had created deep within the Earth.
"Seriously, I originally planned to leave in a few more days, but never mind, it's all the same when I leave."
Zeus murmured, looking at the gem that was slowly saturating and breaking through its limit. Since this was the case, Zeus began to fully operate the collection of Honkai energy. She had originally wanted to go slower, to have time to prepare for a farewell, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. This was also good; she wouldn't have to think about the troublesome matter of parting anymore.
Under Zeus's full collection, the Honkai Gem, which would have taken several more days, broke through its limit in just two hours. The entire gem was almost bursting. At this moment, Zeus also took out the Honkai Gems collected from other people and fused them with the golden gem.
"Much better than expected."
Zeus looked with satisfaction at the ball of rainbow-colored light in her hand, which now contained twice the energy of the previous breakthrough.
"Let's begin! It's time to shed this current shell and recast my divine body."
Saying this, the light in Zeus's hand enveloped her entire being. Within the light, Zeus began to use the Devouring Heaven Magic Skill, frantically devouring energy. The Divine Spark, originally only the size of a fingernail, slowly grew by one-third, stopping its repair when it reached the size of half a baby's fist.
Meanwhile, Zeus's current body, pieced together from Kallen and Cecilia's bodies, now had a large hole ripped in her back. Another person, identical to Zeus's original alluring appearance, slowly emerged from the crack, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon. The reborn Zeus slowly floated out of the old body.
"Indeed, my original body is better."
Zeus cupped her breasts, feeling the exact same weight as before, and couldn't help but show a happy smile.
Then Zeus collected the body she had shed. This was important material for making the Devouring Heaven Magic Pot, so how could she let it go?
"It's time to leave, goodbye everyone."
Wearing a set of white leather armor, Zeus looked at the empty surroundings and said. Her earrings charged, and a spatial tunnel appeared in front of Zeus. Zeus slowly walked into it.
