Evil Beyond Evil

"You've arrived?"

"Hand over Feather Dust to me, and let me put the other personalities into a temporary slumber. What sensational plan do you have now, Yu Feng?"

"..."

"You know I'll do anything for you, so what do you want me to do this time?"

"Regarding what I mentioned to 'you all' about the All Things Dormant, is that done?"

"Hmm... The Expert have almost finished modifying this fifth divine key, and it will be completed soon."

"So... how many hibernation pods are expected to be produced? I mean, how many can be produced in three months?"

"If the Spiral Workshop and the remaining technicians of the Fire Moth work together, making 100,000 shouldn't be difficult."

"Alright. So, if you build a nuclear bomb, will it be able to completely cover those three cities?"

"?! Yu Feng, you don't mean to..."

"I will select 100,000 human elites who will serve as humanity's hope to survive in hibernation pods into the future and usher in the new era."

"Are you... going to do it yourself?"

"The Twelfth Herrscher will do it for me... but, just to be on the safe side, if she doesn't do it, then I will do it myself."

"Yu Feng..."

"I don't care what others say. History will judge right and wrong, merit and demerit."

"... I understand. I will place the activation program in the most conspicuous place, and I will also make sure that the access control systems of those three cities can be easily locked so that no one can escape."

That would be best.

"Evil" Vill-V sat on a swing in the twilight, humming a little tune, reminiscing about the secret she and that person had kept together.

As the embodiment of all of Vill-V's pride, possessing almost half of Vill-V's talents, she knew from the beginning that this culture would eventually sink, and after the tragedy of the restraint, this future became even more apparent.

But she didn't expect that man could be so decisive, making the decision for them while everyone was still fantasizing about defeating the Honkai.

"Rather than watching them kill each other, I'd rather make the choice for them."

Even if the Twelfth Herrscher is eventually resolved, what will humanity do when the Finality comes?

Hiding in the hibernation pods and hiding underground is their only option, but the number of hibernation pods is far from enough to meet the number of survivors. What will happen then?

"I have never had any expectations of the evil in human nature. Rather than pinning my future on the uncertainty of human nature, I would rather bear all the sins and turn the possible into the certain."

This is Evil, an existence even more Evil than myself!

"So, I'm the only one who's most suitable to stand by his side. Lilith or Elysia, I can do what they can't, because if I want to, I can!" she thought.

"Found you~" A familiar voice rang out from behind.

Vill-V nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips, "You've finally arrived, Elysia. We've been waiting for you for so long..."

Elysia maintained her smile; she already knew which Vill-V this was —Vill-V the most troublesome one...

"I didn't expect that Ju Tong was waiting for me. Should I act even Evil? After all, there are only a handful of people who can make Ju Evil wait for them, right?" Elysia sat on another swing.

"Seeing you makes things much easier. Oh dear, I even prepared a plan for what to do if other people came. Since you're the only one here, I'll leave some time for you old friends to catch up." The lighthearted smile on Vill-V's face vanished as soon as she finished speaking, replaced by a hint of embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Elysia, Evil isn't really interested in anyone except Yu Feng... I'm sorry..." Vill-V apologized to Elysia with an embarrassed expression.

"It's alright, Vill-V, we're good friends after all~" Elysia gently swung on the swing. "So... you're all here to see Kaede?"

"Hmm..." Vill-V lowered her head, not daring to look at Elysia.

"Don't be like that, Vill-V. After all, Feng is a very outstanding boy. Isn't it normal for many girls to like him?" Elysia said with a smile.

On her way here, she had already decided that if she liked someone, she liked them; there was no need to hide it or affect the relationship between everyone. It was better to be honest with each other.

"But...you like Yu Feng too, and at this time, Yu Feng also likes you..." Vill-V whispered.

"Hmm, Vill-V is such a considerate and nice girl~ Well, I also have something to tell you, Feng is also a reincarnated one~"

Vill-V was taken aback. She didn't know what to say next, because in her memory, Zhu Yufeng hadn't seen Elysia since the tragic incident involving the restraints. Even though he received an invitation to the final banquet, he didn't attend. If this was Zhu Yufeng during this period...

Evil happy, he hummed a song and jumped up in his mind.

"I know what you want to say. Actually, I've already been honest with Feng. There's a little misunderstanding between us." Elysia said softly, swaying on the swing. "But it's okay. We've been honest with each other, so the misunderstanding is cleared up. We... can start over. It's just that this time I might be starting on the same starting line as you all..."

"They confessed to each other?" Evil instantly appeared. "Are you sure he confessed to you? That's absolutely impossible!"

Elysia looked at Vill-V with some surprise. "Vill-V, after your rebirth, has your control over your personality decreased?"

After asking the other personalities to suppress Evil, I, 'Vill-V,' finally came out to apologize to Elysia: 'I'm sorry, it's true... that's how it is. After all, Evil is essentially my pride and joy, possessing almost half of my Vill-V. If it weren't for Yu Feng, she would have been sealed away... You just said that Yu Feng and you confessed to each other?'"

"Well... he confessed why he didn't keep the appointment and why he didn't see me after the tragedy of the restraint... As for the Rebel Army purge and other dark aspects, I will slowly learn about them in the future..." Elysia said.

She breathed a sigh of Evil as the other personalities held her down. She knew it! How could Yu Feng possibly tell Elysia about that? Well, that was a secret between her and Yu Feng, and no one else would know it.

Hmph, I'm still one of a kind! I just didn't expect Elysia to choose to be honest with Yu Feng; I'm a little behind...

"I see." Vill-V nodded. "Then... Dr. Mobius must have been reborn as well, right?"

"It was Mobius helped me, allowing me to see myself clearly and understand Yu Feng," Elysia said with a wry smile. "However, she is now my competitor."

"Is that so..." Vill-V seemed thoughtful. "Actually, before I came here, I went to Dusk Street. Not only Aponia and Pardo, but Qianjie was also reborn. So, according to my speculation, the reborn ones should be all of us Fourteen Schicksal."

"Eden and the others have also been reborn..." Elysia rested her chin on the back of her hand. "I suddenly started to wonder if my powers have reversed time."

But why are there Fourteen Schicksal reborn instead of Thirteen Fallen Angels? No, it's also possible that all Thirteen Fallen Angels were also reborn...

"It shouldn't be... If your power is to reverse time, then it would manifest itself to some extent in normal times. I think it's more likely to be Yu Feng's power," Vill-V said hesitantly.

"Maple is also Herrscher?" Elysia's eyes widened.

"I'd probably have to ask Dr. Mobius about that," Vill-V said. "During the Finality battle, Yu Feng revealed his Herrscher form. At that time, Dr. Mobius said that it was the complete form of the Chimera Project and the final conclusion of the Project: Ascend to Divinity: an artificial Herrscher."

"An artificial Herrscher? Is that... really possible?" Elysia was still somewhat incredulous. "From human to Herrscher?"

"I also find it hard to believe, but that's how it is." Vill-V recalled the scene of the final battle. "At that time, he Finality, but in the end, his body collapsed because he couldn't withstand the huge Honkai Energy. He exhausted his last bit of strength and together with Kevin silenced the Finality for 72 hours, and then disappeared before our eyes."

"Maple..." Elysia's eyelids drooped slightly.

"I remember he briefly distorted the spacetime, which is why we were reborn. It might be related to his powers after becoming Herrscher," Vill-V speculated. "But... this is just speculation after all."

"Hey, Vill-V."

"Did you find anything, Elysia?"

"No, what I mean is, if we start over this time... can True God defeat the Honkai? Is there any way to prevent Maple from going down the same path as before, and to Honkai the Honkai in the future?"

"...I have no idea."

Both girls fell silent.

Then, in Vill-V's mind, she curled her lip in Evil disdain. Saving the world? Saving the world my ass! All she wanted now was to live with Yu Feng!
