Herrscher of Human: Ego!!! (Continued)

"The atmosphere is really dull, but... it was my own choice, wasn't it?"

Elysia tried to break the dull atmosphere.

Just like in the story, she was like a happy fairy, warming the hearts of everyone around her.

"Then let's continue. I'm quite curious about what role Eden plays in my memory. I think... she must be extremely beautiful."

Elysia winked at Eden.

Eden also said with a smile.

"Ah... I'm also very curious about Elysia's memories."

"Come... Eden."

This is the last memory Flame-Chasers has of Elysia.

Under the beautiful starry sky, Elysia told Eden about her childhood. Eden could not forget anything about Elysia, but he still had some doubts. It was more like a fairy tale than a memory.

Elysia's story, of course, has to be a fairy tale.

Elysia gazed at the beautiful starry sky.

"Ah... I wish this starry sky could shine forever, but alas, the night is about to end."

Sensing something amiss in Elysia's tone, Eden immediately guessed the meaning behind the farewell. Elysia hadn't expected to be able to keep it from Eden.

"Mei, she wasn't wrong...at least, she wasn't wrong about the most important point. Perhaps..."

Elysia's tone was unusually low and dejected, making her seem exceptionally vulnerable. She hesitated, trying to calm herself down, and finally let out a long sigh before revealing the truth.

"Perhaps, I really am a Herrscher..."

"I knew this day would come sooner or later... so it's okay. I've already thought about what to do afterward."

Elysia tried hard to suppress her sobs, forcing a strong smile, as if she didn't want Eden to worry about her.

Eden simply smiled and said nothing.

An eerie silence fell over them for a while, and after a long pause, Elysia finally spoke hesitantly.

"Eden, I'm sorry..."

Eden clearly didn't care; she knew in her heart how much Elysia loved this world and how much she loved the people in her heart.

The truth doesn't matter to her; she will accompany Elysia on this journey.

Elysia was still a little scared. If the existence of "Elysia" was a lie, would everything they had experienced, the beautiful memories, the promises and commitments... all disappear?

Eden, like a maternal halo, gently comforted Elysia.

"This special quality has never diminished your radiance; on the contrary, it has made you even more beautiful because of your flawlessness."

No matter what Elysia was hiding, she always believed that Elysia was still her best friend, the one who truly loved and protected the beauty of the world.

Perhaps it was Eden's comforting words that worked, for Elysia took a deep breath and smiled again.

"Then... at that final banquet, let me hear your song one more time, okay?"

Seeing that Elysia could also be depressed, they couldn't help but sigh. After all, Elysia was a human, and humans have emotions and feelings.

"This is quite rare. It seems that the identity of Herrscher is like a boulder in Elysia's heart. But that makes sense. The Previous Era did not have Herrscher who fought for humanity. She is also worried that revealing this identity will make others hate her and make her former comrades despise her."

Mei sighed.

The reason why Elysia is so fragile is simple: she cares deeply about her companions and is afraid that her identity Herrscher will lead her to part ways with them.

After all, the relationship between humans from the Previous Era and Herrscher cannot be described as mutual loathing, but rather as irreconcilable. Elysia concealed her identity as Herrscher, and once it was exposed, she would also be afraid and terrified.

It's not the fear of death that's the fear, but the fear of indifference.

"No way! Sister Elysia is the Sister Elysia we know. We don't care about her Herrscher or anything like that. Sister Elysia is Sister Elysia!"

Pardo panicked.

"That's right! We knew Sister Elysia first, and then the Herrscher!"

Ling also hurriedly stepped forward.

"Everyone..."

Elysia was deeply moved by the two little ones' actions.

Vill-V shook her head.

As a severe case of dissociative identity disorder, she had also witnessed patients with depression who acted like normal people during the day and even tried to make those around them laugh, but their mood would plummet at night.

Elysia is like playing this character.

She shines like the sun, trying her best to bring laughter and joy to people, but who knows the emotions she suppresses in her heart?

Thankfully, Eden is in the storyline; otherwise, she was really afraid that Elysia would cause some problems.

The more joyful someone appears, the greater their risk of depression.

"No wonder, we really can only rely on Eden here. If we let the old antique comfort Elysia, he probably wouldn't be able to say a word for a long time. Elysia would have to comfort him."

As Little Knowledge always say, I'll never miss an opportunity to tease the old folks.

Fu Hua's face darkened before she could even speak.

"Even Kalpas won't work. If Jie-ge were to comfort him, the scene would definitely be quite interesting. Jie-ge would rather relieve his negative emotions with his fists than with comfort."

Vill-V nodded.

"Snort."

Kalpas snorted coldly and did not refute.

He's really not good at comforting people. If it were Kevin, it would be simple: just beat him up. Why all the negative emotions?

After much thought, Eden was the only one who was most familiar with Elysia and could offer her the most comfort.

Su is indeed a capable doctor, but he is not familiar with the field.

Aponia could also do it, but again, she wasn't familiar with Elysia's inner world.

The memory ends here, and the flower in front of her transforms into an invitation, which falls into Mei's hand.

"Finally, she found out the answer... right? But... what a heartbreaking answer..."

The Fairy Elysia looked somewhat sad, and her body emitted chaotic electrical currents, as if she were about to disappear at any moment.

Mei was startled.

The Fairy Elysia told Mei not to lie and tried to keep her tone calm.

She was originally a vessel of memories, formed from Flame-Chasers's longing for Elysia, and now that longing is transforming into Mei's feelings.

Therefore, she is gradually becoming a part of Mei.

Fairy Elysia smiled.

"Don't worry too much! I won't disappear, because... I will become 'me' again. The 'me' that everyone remembers, the 'me' you're trying so hard to find, is undoubtedly me too!"

So, don't be sad, don't look back, just read through [my] story, okay?

"...good."

Mei nodded.

This development was clearly beyond their expectations.

"No way? Sir, even Fairy Elysia has a knife?!"

It was unexpected, but actually, it was within expectations.

After all, the writers had gone on a killing spree; wasn't the armed puppet in front of them also preparing a knife? Fortunately, Snakey intervened and saved Klein in the end.

In the Elysian Realm would get slaughtered if they came here.

"It's these few fragments of Elysia's memory that have made us temporarily forget them. Before this, the writers didn't let any of them go. How could she suddenly change her personality?!"

Little Knowledge excitedly patted the armrest of the seat.

They were venting their anger.

But they were powerless to do anything about it.

We could only watch helplessly as the plot unfolded.

Meanwhile, the anger towards the screenwriter was building up inside him, growing stronger and stronger. This anger would not disappear, but would only accumulate until it finally erupted when someone returned to the Golden Courtyard.

Mei, holding the invitation, walked towards the glowing door, and memories of Elysia flooded back like a tide.

That was Elysia talking to herself under the night sky.

She accepted her identity Herrscher, although she had some wishful thinking beforehand, since she was different from other Herrscher, not transformed from a person, but appeared out of thin air.

But she still couldn't understand: if she was Herrscher, what were her powers?

No one ever told her, and no one ever asked her to do anything.

Aside from being a little bit cuter, a little bit smarter, and a little bit more perfect, she is no different from an ordinary person.

"So... this is the answer, right?"

She has the appearance and character of a human, breathes like a human, and lives like a human, so... her name should be called [Herrscher of Human].

The Herrscher of humanity, the Herrscher of humankind. Now, she too is about to do things that only humans would do.

She frantically did her makeup at her dressing table. She had prepared 12 invitations but hadn't sent them out. This was the Last Banquet she had prepared for herself.

The story will be told through humanity's victory over the Herrscher, becoming known to the world and remembered in history. She, however, will remain behind the scenes, unknown to anyone, to deliver the true ending to this performance.

"If Herrscher no longer means farewell, if every Herrscher has the possibility of regaining their humanity... then people will no longer have to face such a difficult role, and humanity... will have the opportunity to find hope."

"For us, it is far more precious than victory."

"Therefore, if humanity is my power, if the beauty of humanity constitutes everything about Elysia,"

"Then, at the end of the story, let me take them back to the place where I was born."

"Then, I scattered flower seeds on the parched earth, believing that since human civilization had nurtured me, I could surely make it bloom again... a flawless and eternal flower."

"So... this is the answer... the reason why later Herrscher were able to retain their humanity is because of... me?"

Elysia stared blankly at the big screen.

They had already guessed the general idea when the concept of the Herrscher of Human was first proposed, but they still couldn't help but be surprised when it was actually placed in the plot.

Elysia is too great.

Love Gate.

Carrying the light of humanity that constitutes Elysia, returning to the place where the Honkai began, and influencing future Herrscher to retain their humanity—what a great thing that is.

Without Elysia, Mei, Kiana, Welt, Bronya, and the others in the current civilization probably wouldn't be Herrscher fighting for humanity.

"I'm increasingly suspicious that Yaqing's original intention was to portray Elysia as so wonderful, almost perfect."

Little Knowledge Rant.

"Elysia is just that wonderful."

As a die-hard fan of Elysia, Eden refuted her almost without thinking.

"I'm starting to feel sorry for the Collapse Consciousness..."

Why are there so many traitors in the current civilization's Honkai side? I never expected that they could be traced back to the Previous Era. Elysia, who was born Herrscher, left behind the possibility of preserving humanity for future Herrscher by sacrificing herself.

"The purpose was clearly to test humanity, but the proctors became the students. Unexpectedly, the Previous Era still failed in the end."

"That was something that couldn't be helped. When Elysia was determined to die, the Previous Era was already at its last gasp."

Mei sighed.

It was beyond saving; the arrow was at its last gasp.

"The name Herrscher of Human is very fitting. Elysia is truly special. Despite being the first Herrscher, a born Herrscher, she has never been seduced by the Collapse Consciousness, and has even influenced the Herrscher of later generations with her powers."

"Eden, I'm not as good as you say."

Elysia put her arm around Eden's shoulder and gently rubbed her pretty face against Eden's.

Hearing Eden's sigh, May keenly sensed that something was amiss.

The existence of the Collapse Consciousness made her somewhat suspicious.
