The Truth About Your Excellency Today.

Satou Yunona's intuition told her that delving deeper into this issue might uncover something even more ominous.

For example, Mei used to tell Kiana that if she failed her exam, she would sleep with Bronya Tiāntiān.

Actually, the girl at that time always thought they were just joking with each other, just the usual banter between straight girls, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Looking back now, although this "threat" was clearly not very intimidating, the results often made people marvel at the terrifying concentration and intelligence that the little white ball of fur could unleash when it wanted to.

--Hmm, surprisingly it works.

Satou Yunona's mind now seems to have entered an overspeed mode of observing the Timeline.

She began to repeatedly ask herself a profound question.

So... why does it work so well?

Competing for favor? Choosing a card?

No, no, no, if you think about it that way, isn't it also strange that Mei would proactively make such a "threat"?

Although there are many girls on the St. Freya Academy forum who post in an extremely inappropriate way, Satou Yunona, a straight-laced girl, always believed that this was just due to the camaraderie of being comrades-in-arms in the military, which led to more intense posting among the girls, and that there was nothing abnormal about it.

The young girl, meanwhile, keeps reminiscing about her past life, wanting nothing more than to sneer at her foolish past self.

--Ha, straight women, so naive.

Satou Yunona began to rein in her runaway imagination. She realized she couldn't keep thinking like this, or she wouldn't be able to have a normal conversation with her friends anymore.

She said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Bronya and Kiana sat on either side of her. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that beneath their seemingly calm expressions and demeanor, they seemed to be secretly relieved, which made her inner unease even stronger.

Kiana judged that Satou Yunona's current age was about a year old, but her Herrscher instincts told her that she was a complete Herrscher of the same kind, which also meant that the timeline had actually been pushed back to when the girl St. Freya Academy for the Honkai Consciousness and deceived half of the power.

And based on this, one can vaguely sense a similar aura to that of the Gem of Conquest...

This strange and unexpected contradiction can only mean that the Lostbelt phenomenon also bestows some gifts upon the other side from other world line trajectories.

She wasn't surprised by this, but simply said first:

"Yuno, you might not be able to tell, but... the older sister next to you is Bronya, and she comes from a much later timeline."

Upon hearing this, Satou Yunona subconsciously glanced at the gray-haired beauty beside her, whose ambiguous smile was evident in the curves of her figure, which was now wrapped in a soft gauze dress, a testament to the passage of time.

She was somewhat surprised, but also felt it was perfectly reasonable.

Although Bronya's promising future was unexpected, among her closest friends, she was the only one who met the criteria of having gray hair and gray eyes.

But...

In a sense, it's quite peculiar that the little girl who used to tug at her sleeve and call her "sister" has grown into this state, especially considering that Satou Yunona's physical age is still 16.

Kiana continued:

"I don't know what point in time or world line you come from, so let me give you a preliminary explanation. After I came to this world, I regained the memories of the world line that existed with Su Qing'an. Bronya next to you only has the memories of the world line that was interfered with by that person."

Satou Yunona listened to the other person's account, even though she didn't know the truth, she couldn't help but think that all of this was inextricably linked to Su Qing'an.

She proactively explained her situation:

"I have memories of five reincarnations."

"Two world lines that seem to be from the previous era, two world lines that exist in the same era as you, one of which is related to Su Qing'an, and then there are the related memories possessed by Satou Yunona, who already exists in this world."

"All of these combined make up who I am today."

Moreover, since the girl's previous lives all ended in death, compared to the two whose story is obviously not yet over, she is less like someone who has traveled to this world and more like someone who has been given a second chance at life.

Kiana, whose existence was also clearly documented, immediately understood why the other party was able to escape from such dire circumstances.

She only overlapped one layer of records, yet she could feel that she could autonomously bear the quad-core state, and her precision and control over the power had improved. It can be said that she was even more powerful than the Xin Yan state, which was locked to the peak panel.

And the five overlapping records...

While it's unclear whether the specific level of improvement diminishes with repeated use, it certainly explains why Satou Yunona is powerful enough to easily destroy a main city-level top-tier combat force in a short period of time.

Bronya, on the other hand, keenly noticed the obvious differences between herself and Kiana and the other party.

Satou Yunona had lived in this world before, and both of them were created through "time travel," or even through a phantom radiated from a higher-dimensional record.

In a sense, even if both of them eventually disappear, the former may still continue to exist, only the overlapping records will be dissipated and the system will return to normal.

But more than that, the girl was concerned about another issue that arose from this.

She asked:

"So, Sister Yunona, after you left Flower Master City, you returned to the main city area a few days later because of the interference from the crystals?"

After all, according to normal logic, given the natives' understanding of this world, as Chen Tianwu said, leaving the main city's area of Radiation Range is the normal course of action. Going back to the main city to get beaten up is indeed very unwise.

Satou Yunona got a little annoyed at this. She touched the amulet that was perfectly preserved within the electromagnetic barrier in her pocket, pouted, and said:

"Yes, who knew that the Class President of this world would be so ruthless? This is the identity crystal that is buried on the surface of every citizen's bones at birth, and she actually planted a seed that interferes with thinking in it. She has clearly taken control of the entire world and built an authoritarian immortal empire. What exactly is she trying to do by doing this?"

She felt that her friend should know the answer to this question better than she did, so she asked directly:

"You seem to have arrived before me. Do you know why?"

Kiana explained:

"The Class President built a special signal tower that can amplify the power of Udu-dust. You should know very well that strange Black Tower and antennas are scattered throughout this world, even in uninhabited wilderness, in areas of Honkai breeding farms, and in every area of every city."

"The Taixu Sect refers to it as a communication device for the Chaoxian Space, but after your mind-guided experience, you should understand just how terrifying this crystal, combined with this inescapable net, is to ordinary people."

She paused for a moment and then said:

"And Udu-dust's true form is in the [Dragon Court] outside of space."

Satou Yunona has experience living in this world, and after overlapping records, she naturally has her own opinions on the existence of those Black Tower. But she never expected that reality and the truth could be so outrageous.

Bronya added quietly:

"That Your Excellency also modified the genes of all mankind hundreds of years ago. Sister Yunona, you have memories of living in this world for more than ten years, so you should understand that many rules and laws would be very strange in the past."

"Apart from us beings created by the [Lostbelt] phenomenon, all other humans in this world are puppets on strings. All prosperity and life, even genuine emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, are just a stage play controlled by one person, performing the show she wants."

"Simply put, she has mentally colonized civilization itself, even directly causing the Honkai to choose to leave, which is why even with highly advanced technology, the Herrscher of the End has never appeared."

Satou Yunona had been able to guess most of it beforehand, but when she actually heard it, she still felt that the amount of information was quite enormous.

However, because she guessed through the consciousness of Udu-dust within her soul that the other party might not be the real Fu Hua, she felt complicated about not knowing these things as her two companions did.

The girl speculated:

"I guessed it was genetic modification. The law enforcement teams in this world are basically only used to suppress the Honkai. Crimes within human society are almost always wiped out by some mysterious means."

"Old urban legends say that there is a Book of Life and Death in Chao Xian City that controls the lifespan of everyone in the world, and completing the corresponding Honkai indicators issued by the Taixu Sect is to increase one's fixed lifespan."

"If it's genetic modification, then it's easy to understand. She probably spent a long time inserting a life-or-death switch into everyone's body. My body was altered due to the Lostbelt phenomenon, so the existence of this life-or-death switch can be ignored."

Bronya gave a cold laugh and commented:

"The Book of Life and Death? That's quite a direct assessment."

"The [Dragon Court] that is now floating in outer space not only contains the key to mind colonization— the Udu-dust —but also stores the life and death numbers of everyone in the world. If that person wishes, they can make the whole world quiet in a few seconds."

After listening, Satou Yunona said seriously:

"Then let's go to outer space and dismantle that thing. That way, both mind colonization and the life-or-death switch can be effectively neutralized."

She spoke with conviction:

"Let Kiana think of a way to use the Herrscher of the Void's power to restrict their teleportation technology, then carry out guerrilla warfare, dismantling all the dolls and warships in each main city, and getting more people to fight that Your Excellency one-on-one, giving her a good beating."

Bronya was speechless for a moment upon hearing this. She felt that the Satou Yunona in front of her was much more lively than the Sister Yunona she knew before, so much so that she, who had always been immersed in the image of the other sister, had some indescribable feelings.

Kiana had a strange feeling of returning to the time in Changkong City, where Satou Yunona's personality was pretty much the same: cunning, lively, and outgoing, and also a bit of a chatterbox.

Perhaps due to the overlap of multiple records, the other person's current personality combines characteristics from various periods.

She did feel nostalgic about it, but even though such a reckless plan was, in a sense, aimed directly at the core issue, it was still impossible to execute immediately given the lack of information.

At least, both Bronya and Kiana were well aware of this.

The combined military strength of the thirty-six main cities does not represent the full extent of the Taixu Sect's military equipment.

Leaving aside the rest, the opposing side possesses over twenty Herrscher Core in this world alone. Combined with the Lostbelt phenomenon and the technology of using special warships to autonomously control these powers...

Even in guerrilla warfare, it's hard to remain optimistic about one's chances of winning.

In fact, simply adding or subtracting the number of Herrscher Core on both sides will reveal the true extent of the power gap.

Kiana merely pinched the little girl's cheek, oblivious to the girl's subtle expression, and simply smiled and said:

"This kind of plan is very much in line with my style, but let's see if we can gather more companions first."

"By the way, Yuno, you also received a message from a feather before you came here, right?"

Satou Yunona answered confidently:

"Yes, it was I who triggered the Class President's consciousness."

Before the other person could even explain exactly how it was provoked, she complained somewhat unhappily:

"Then she told me to go to the Little Cat Spin Bar in Mexico, but when I got there, I realized there are so many bars in Mexico with that name, and she didn't specify which one it was."

Bronya found it somewhat amusing and asked:

"So Sister Yunona, how did you find me?"

Satou Yunona said calmly:

"According to Kiana, Stand users are attracted to each other."

The two, who used to often neglect their studies at the St. Freya Academy, immediately understood.

There is indeed a strange magnetic field between Herrscher; they can actually sense a little bit of the approximate location of each other's core. So it's not surprising that Yuno was able to find her way here.

Kiana glanced at the surroundings—the unusually noisy environment, the chaotic lights, and the numerous gazes that seemed to entangle the three of them—and said softly:

"Anyway, let's find a place where we can have a proper talk."

Then, the group booked a quiet, well-soundproof private room at the Little Cat Spin Bar.

Of course, since booking a private room in the Little Cat Spin Bar was almost as ambiguous as booking a hotel room, the girls who had been watching the several beautiful women nearby really wanted to go in too...

So, along the way, several pretty young girls came up to us, asking expectantly if they could go in for a drink together.

Satou Yunona had no idea why the other person was being so enthusiastic, but her "straight girl" radar went off, and she immediately and firmly refused, clearly frightened. Finally, watching the girls leave, filled with disappointment, she couldn't help but ask the two of them again:

"You really haven't been here that many times, have you?"

At this moment, Kiana and Bronya, who were clearly older than each other, both showed a docile attitude, shaking their heads in unison to indicate that they were good children.

The girl glanced at the extremely erotic holographic image beside her, gritted her teeth, and said quietly:

"If you come here again without a reason, I'll definitely tell Mei on you next time."

Bronya felt that Chen Tianwu was entirely at fault; why did he have to arrange to meet at such a strange place?

Kiana, on the other hand, felt that Bronya was entirely at fault for arranging a meeting in such a strange place.

After internally shifting blame to each other, both expressed their intention not to do it again.

The gray-haired beauty spoke sincerely:

"We only came here because the contact person selling the information chose this location."

Kiana chimed in:

"Yes, that's right, me too."

Although no one knows whether the Lostbelt phenomenon will produce a living Raiden Mei, Bronya and Kiana clearly don't want the other to know about this strange experience.

Yeah, especially that white fluffy ball.

Half an hour later, the rather lengthy intelligence exchange came to an end.

Inside the pink-tinged private room, several beauties with distinct styles ignored the strange props hidden in various corners and the ambiguous lighting, and sat upright as they began their conversation.

Satou Yunona swallowed the last bite of her tuna sandwich, sipped her warm orange juice, and slowly processed the information the other person had given her, digesting it from her own perspective.

If the [Lostbelt] are a large-scale radiation phenomenon caused by Su Qing'an becoming some kind of indescribable, higher-dimensional being while in a coma.

Therefore, this gift derived from imaginary numbers is not surprising.

Even though the girl could see all things in her mortal form, including the Timeline of Herrscher and even the phenomena of powers, Su Qing'an was a special being who truly transcended both the space and timelines.

Satou Yunona believed that even if she entered the mode of observing the Timeline, she still wouldn't be able to see any axis on the other party.

But in her view, this was actually a characteristic that could be exploited.

Since everything has a Timeline, the only exception in the world that does not have Timeline is Su Qing'an's true location.

However, simply entering the observer state without activating the [thing-in-itself] to the point of causing the pupils to mutate is not difficult for Satou Yunona, who has now become somewhat accustomed to this ability.

By simply increasing the observation range and infinitely decreasing the precision, she can still determine where the Timeline is absent, and with very little energy consumption, much like the feeling of having the power to activate the electromagnetic barrier at any time.

The girl slightly lifted her sleeve, revealing the delicate, intricate patterns on her fair wrist. She no longer suppressed the natural influx of the Heaven and Earth Qi, allowing a slowly rotating halo to unfold, and softly said:

"Then I can try to find his location."

"At least while he's not far from us, we won't miss his presence."

Although the scope of this ability is very small when viewed from a global perspective, it is still good news nonetheless.

After exchanging information, the two were able to understand the meaning behind each other's words.

Kiana suggested:

"Let's go back to [the Moon Worship Palace] first."

"Xiao Xi's original origin is a part of Udu-dust, so she should have a way to combine the feather clones within our consciousness."

Bronya agreed.

In her mind, [Moon Worship Palace] is not just a supply point and a portal now; it may also soon become a workshop for upgrading weapons, which made her subconsciously start to develop a bunch of settings as a game producer.

Satou Yunona glanced wistfully at the edge of the wall, wanting to avoid this unavoidable topic.

Although it's mentioned that the proposer who suggested merging feathers together to truly awaken the consciousness within them was himself, it also hints that there are feathers in Kiana's Sea of consciousness, but it's himself who is still asleep.

But the complex emotions of watching your first love marry another woman for ten years and have a child, and then meeting her again, are truly subtle.

Well, even if that's not the case at all.

On the other hand, because she possesses all the memories of her past life, she naturally has an extremely high level of affection for the current Your Highness.

In short...

Before regaining her memories, Satou Yunona was Su Muxi's die-hard fan.

Even now, she still harbors a strange sense of elder's authority, and there's always a desire in her heart to pick him up and lift him high in the air.

Kiana looked at the little girl, who seemed to be lost in thought, with some concern, and asked:

"Yuno? Do you need to rest for a while?"

Bronya thoughtfully offered a suggestion:

"We've booked a hotel nearby, so we can go back and get some sleep before going to [the Moon Worship Palace]."

Seemingly afraid that the other party would put on a brave front, she continued:

"Sharpening your axe won't delay your work. You only escaped from Udu-dust's interference a day ago, and then you used your ability to observe and manipulate the Timeline continuously. You really should rest and recuperate."

But these sincere words of comfort only made Satou Yunona feel like an idiot for dwelling on such strange things. She pursed her lips, quite embarrassed and annoyed, and without a word, grabbed their arms and walked towards the door, muttering to herself:

"Go. Why not go? I'm not tired at all."

"Let's go now."

At this moment, Bronya, who had matured into a mature older sister, and Kiana, whose emotional intelligence had increased after experiencing various events, tacitly allowed each other to drag them out of the Little Cat Spin Bar and headed towards the [Moon Worship Palace] without rest.

I don't want to see Yuno who else is angry.

Their attitude towards it was one of passive acceptance.

If you ask why...

If they are to return to their original timelines, this will be their only chance to see each other.

In Kiana's world, Satou Yunona died early in the cleanup after the Third Honkai Outbreak. She even had a close encounter with her, but unlike Su Qing'an, she was unable to save Yuno's consciousness as a human being and change this almost predetermined fate.

In Bronya's future, the girl also died in the battle against the Herrscher of Binding, and not even a broken corpse could be found, leaving only a handful of [Ashes] that would never speak again.

For them, their reunion with Satou Yunona was a miracle that should never have happened in their lives.

But when this miracle actually happened, the two of them, apart from treating each other with an almost doting attitude, didn't know how to deal with it.

At least, they all cherished this time, a time whose ending was uncertain.

Half an hour later, the three cautiously infiltrated a strange sight in the main city area. With the deliberate leniency of a certain Your Highness, they were able to bypass the security line and silently pass through the portal to arrive at the [Moon Worship Palace], which was located in some unknown World Bubble.

However, what appeared before them this time was not the sunny and gentle St. Freya Academy.

Rather, it is Su Muxi's most authentic residence and circumstances.

They walked across the finest white jade pavement, along the sandalwood-carved eaves, the floating windows made of green tiles, and the walls made of jade, passing through a very wide square and an ancient altar, traversing a straight and long road under a clear blue sky.

The final destination is a grand hall that is extremely lonely yet full of historical charm.

The girl, dressed in a dark Hanfu adorned with gold patterns, stood beneath a crystal wall lamp beside an ancient golden shrine, calmly cradling her cat in her arms.

It was a scene as beautiful as a painting, but the heavy chains connecting those slender ankles to some unknown place added a touch of cruelty.

She said softly:

"Everything here was moved from the Forbidden City by Xiao Fu seven hundred years ago."

"Although we used Soul Steel's mimicry technology to package it, allowing it to be changed to any style at any time, I'm still a little reluctant to part with it..."

The girl suddenly lost interest; over the long years she had lost the desire to talk about sex and express herself, and her detached expression was tinged with a hint of transparency.

And so, the conversation ended there.

Su Muxi looked up at the several faces that were particularly clear and familiar in the records, and said softly:

"You all have Xiao Fu feathers on you; I should be able to try and fuse their power into one."

"But the prerequisite is that the three of you need to maintain sufficient trust in me within your Sea of consciousness; otherwise, this will be a rather troublesome process."

These seemingly complicated conditions were nothing to them. Putting aside the strange seniority that allowed them to have an elder-like position despite being hundreds of years younger than the other party, the reality of this world alone proved that the other party could not possibly have any ill intentions towards them.

Otherwise, there would be absolutely no chance for this current three-person team to reunite.

Well, at least Bronya would be First Kill without a core.

This was Satou Yunona's first meeting with the other party, and she had not received any protection from him before, but she still nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Therefore, a consensus was reached.

After receiving permission, the girl silently allowed the crimson illusion to unfold in this hall that had once been worshipped by heaven and earth. She lowered her eyes, and the beautiful glow of the sunset flowed into the vast ocean between their souls, touching the three sleeping feathers.

This ultimately triggered a resonant sound, like an echo, that rippled outwards with even clearer waves.

Thus, a mysterious message was transmitted from the consciousness of everyone present, revealing part of the truth about His Your Excellency.

That was undoubtedly the Immortal Chi Yuan, but... she was no longer the complete person she once was.
