The Topic Ender, Satou Yunona

Satou Yunona was surrounded by the two as they walked through the winding, dimly lit passageway.

What came into view was a golden palace that seemed to have existed since ancient times.

In the midst of the most luxurious and magnificent hall, a mysterious woman sat high above, casting a smiling glance down upon the three who had just stepped into this Sea of Quanta, and softly greeted them:

"Welcome to the Sea of Quanta, visitor."

Bronya gazed at the Pink Fairy Lady, recalling Raiden Mei's past sarcastic remarks. After hesitating for a moment, observing the other's striking pink hair and fairy-like ears, she replied:

"You are... Elysia?"

Elysia looked slightly confused. She blinked, then suddenly noticed one of the white furballs. She smiled thoughtfully and said:

"Hmm, if nothing unexpected happens, I am probably the Elysia you mentioned."

The girl thought for a moment, then placed her slender fingers against her rosy lips and said playfully:

"Wait, don't tell me how you knew me yet. Let me guess, okay?"

"Are you... Mei's friends?"

Kiana's heartstrings seemed to be suddenly plucked upon hearing this. She looked up at the other person's face and asked:

"You know Mei?"

A smile spread across Elysia's lips as she observed the white-haired girl's subtle expressions and reactions. Twirling a strand of her hair with her fingers, she replied casually:

"Yes, she just left not long ago."

"About ten minutes ago?"

Seeing the momentary blank expressions on their faces, she tilted her head and asked curiously:

"What, didn't you run into her?"

Kiana was greatly shocked, then suddenly realized a possibility: the existence of Sea of Quanta was actually a Lostbelt phenomenon.

It's quite normal that Raiden Mei, who had already spent some time in the Sea of Quanta, would have this area reappear along with her due to this phenomenon.

But just as Elysia had asked, the group did not actually see each other in the seas beyond the Sea of Quanta.

There are two possibilities.

First, Raiden Mei restrained her powers, using them to create a corresponding vacuum, and then occasionally electrolyzed Seawater to produce oxygen that could be used for breathing, thus stealthily and quickly leaving the area.

Secondly, this bubble-like membrane enveloping the Sea of Quanta World Bubble contains a mechanism that can transport people to other areas.

Let's analyze the former first. Raiden Mei, who lives in the Sea of Quanta and has no contact with the outside world, may still think that the outside world is her own world.

At the very least, she couldn't possibly know that the upper layers were covered with monitoring rings made of mayfly nanoparticles, so if she came out, she would immediately accelerate and rush out of the sea, with no reason to linger and lie in wait in the sea.

As long as Raiden Mei chooses to appear in this way, regardless of the warning issued by Ephemera, the other Herrscher alone can detect this obvious fluctuation. There is no reason for them to pass by each other without knowing it.

A cross appeared in Kiana's pupils. She glanced at the upper diaphragm and clearly saw the disordered, chaotic lines. She felt that the second possibility of getting closer to the truth was growing infinitely larger in her mind.

Regardless of the possibility, Raiden Mei's current situation—going to the outside world without any prior knowledge—is extremely dangerous.

If they were discovered directly in the Arctic Ocean region, that would be one thing, but at least there are no top-tier combat forces at the level of a main city here, nor are there Constraint Barrier. Pure constructs and floating warships cannot restrain a Herrscher who is as agile as lightning.

But random teleportation adds countless possibilities.

Even if you don't go directly to Mount Taixu or Chao Xian City, which are the worst options, being randomly assigned to one of the thirty-six main urban areas is still terrifying.

Even if one can defeat the strongest fighter in a main city, if they don't escape outside the main city within minutes, it could very well turn into the bizarre scene of thirty-six main cities fighting against a single Herrscher.

From a rational perspective, even with the overlapping of records, Raiden Mei, a single-core powerhouse, could only perish under the combined Constraint Barrier and the massive army that had been teleported in.

Of the three who came to the Sea of Quanta, under the same conditions, the only ones who could escape alive were Satou Yunona, who had gained the power of time and managed to force her way out with her Future vision. The others would have been beaten to death.

Kiana suppressed her anxiety, knowing that in this isolated situation, calm and composed thinking was key to finding a way out.

If Mei was teleported to the main city, she has probably already been captured.

If not, then the situation is fine.

In other words, leaving the Sea of Quanta now to search for the other person is a reckless and meaningless act.

She took a deep breath and said softly:

"Hello, Miss Elysia."

"We're all Mei's friends. Can you tell us about Mei? The outside world has changed a lot. It's really dangerous to wander around without knowing the situation."

Elysia gestured for the group to sit on the soft seats opposite her and said with a smile:

"Of course! How could I refuse a cute and polite girl like you? Besides, I'd be happy to share things about Mei."

"Hmm~ Maybe we can exchange topics later, after all, the joy of sharing interesting stories is hard to experience here."

She glanced at the group sitting opposite her, subtly observing the three girls, each with distinct features yet all remarkably beautiful and graceful figures, before feigning a sigh and saying:

"Sure enough, cute and pretty girls are surrounded by beautiful and charming young women as well."

The Pink Fairy Lady gave a bright and affectionate smile, winked at the group, and said:

"Don't worry, I'm sure Mei is safe right now, so before we talk about her, it would be better if you introduced yourselves first, okay?"

"Trust me, this will bring us closer together."

"But if we're friends, then there's nothing we can't talk about, right?"

Bronya, considering herself the oldest of the three, took on the task of introducing herself and said softly:

"Bronya Zaychek, that's my name."

"The white-haired girl next to me is Kiana Kaslana, who in a sense is the World Serpent Lord, the bloodline of Kevin passed down to later generations."

"The other one is Satou Yunona. Although we are both Herrscher, like Mei, whom you know, we are warriors who have not been controlled by the Will of Honkai and have retained our human will to fight against the Honkai."

"Mei and Mei used to attend the same school, a place that specialized in training warriors to fight the Honkai. We were friends in the same grade and even shared a dorm room."

"As you can see, the people appearing before you don't seem to be in the same grade. This is because a phenomenon called [Lostbelt] projects or manifests us from different timelines into this world, resulting in the discrepancies."

Yes, they all go to the same school as Mei.

The Pink Fairy Lady sensed the pure Herrscher aura emanating from the three of them and remained silent for a moment, a rare occurrence.

... Are you sure the school you all went to wasn't some kind of Herrscher Academy? And you even shared a dorm?

Judging by normal logic, there are only thirteen Herrschers of Honkai, excluding the Finality, so the fact that four Herrscher with human consciousness have been put together here is indeed somewhat absurd.

But what surprised Elysia the most was Kiana's identity.

--The bloodline left by Kevin.

She certainly didn't doubt that Kevin later chose to get married and have children, naturally producing offspring and ensuring the continuation of her bloodline.

Given that person's personality, even in-vitro fertilization is unlikely.

The answer can probably only lie with Dr. Mei. Perhaps, at the end of an era, in order to give Kevin a reason to continue living and to continue to carry out his will, and also to prove something, he gave this product, which is hard to say whether it is a gift or a curse, in this way.

Kiana and the others weren't surprised by Elysia's stunned expression; they were well aware of their own situation.

For the Flame-Chasers of the previous era who fought tooth and nail with various Herrscher, being Herrscher was indeed an unavoidable disadvantage.

Among them, Satou Yunona experienced the pain of the difference between Pseudo-Herrscher and humans very early on. After overlapping reincarnations, she personally experienced being killed by the Honkai Fission Bomb and understood how much the Previous Civilization hated and feared Herrscher.

She felt a mixture of doubt and goodwill towards Flame-Chasers, who, despite experiencing such circumstances, could still communicate with her in a calm and even friendly manner. She could also understand the subtle feelings he had about taking turns receiving the four Herrscher.

I can only say that if I were in the other person's shoes, I would also find it very strange.

On the other hand, Satou Yunona had a premonition that if they were to stay here for a while, they would probably encounter unusual treatment due to their uniform status Herrscher.

... Hopefully, it won't develop into a bizarre team battle between the Thirteen Flame-Chasers of the Previous Civilization and the four Herrscher of the post-century era.

Elysia's momentary daze lasted only a few seconds; she quickly dismissed the detail and continued the previous topic, answering naturally:

"I can't tell. Aren't you all in the prime of your youth, radiant and beautiful? Hmm, just like me."

She smiled and nodded, saying:

"So, what do you want to know? Is it the complete story of Raiden Mei's great adventures in the Sea of Quanta, or the magnificent past of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers? Or perhaps the reason and origin of your existence in this world?"

"Of course, if you're asking about a thousand little secrets about Elysia, I can tell you those too."

"After all, what can't we say to each other?"

Kiana stared at the man for a while, her wild intuition telling her that this man had probably said the same things to many people.

But knowing that these words are all Elysia's little tricks and routines, one can't help but feel that the distance between them has been shortened in this atmosphere.

Elysia, a magical and... indescribable girl.

But compared to that, the information conveyed in the other person's words is far more crucial.

Assuming Elysia wasn't lying, how could she, as a memory entity within the Sea of Quanta, know about herself, this Sea of Quanta, and the true nature and origin of her own side?

This is unreasonable.

At least one logical thread is missing.

Etc...

The memories left behind in the Sea of Quanta are those of Flame-Chasers from the previous era, and from the perspective of the normal timeline, they should not be related to Su Qing'an, the source of everything.

But what if Su Qing'an had lived through a previous era in one of the cycles of reincarnation?

Is the timeline in which this Sea of Quanta exists a continuation of the cycle of reincarnation in which the other existed?

However, Satou Yunona, who had witnessed that era firsthand and was also aware of Su Qing'an at that time, grasped this possibility even earlier than Kiana, and she asked directly:

"Elysia, you said you know the reason and origin of our existence in this world."

"May I ask if there exists a memory entity named Su Qing'an in the Sea of Quanta?"

Elysia paused for a moment upon hearing this, and said with some surprise:

"Oh, you guys know him too?"

She smiled and said:

"His memories did exist, but they disappeared on their own not long ago for some reason."

Satou Yunona paused for a moment, her heartstrings twitching. Her pupils reflected the Timeline, observing countless dialogue options in an infinitely slowed-down time, ultimately extracting a potentially terrifying answer.

The girl said softly:

"He was resurrected in Soul State, and right here in this Sea of Quanta."

"Or rather, the reason this Sea of Quanta exists is because of his resurrection, and Mei was trapped in the Elysian Realm for half a year until she found it and was freed from this confusion."

"Thus, the awakening of Su Qing'an caused the disappearance of [[Ashes]], who was a memory entity, and also allowed Mei to overlap the records, understand her true situation, and finally leave the Sea of Quanta half hour ago with him."

She subconsciously used the nickname she had chosen from the jumbled information to confirm the other person's preferred way of addressing them:

"Am I right, Elysia?"

At this moment, even Kiana and Bronya, who were each other's companions, were somewhat speechless after processing the information in these words.

What kind of conversation killer is Yuno, who possesses Future vision?

Elysia wasn't upset; she just stared curiously at the little girl sitting between the two of them and replied with a smile:

"Hmm, I don't know how you figured it out, but that's definitely how it is."

"That's why I say Mei is safe right now. Although she's incomplete, I believe there's still no one outside who can get around her to hurt Mei, right?"

Faced with this question that should have been beyond questioning, the three of them fell into an eerie silence.

To make up for her impolite way of prying for information, Satou Yunona took the initiative to answer first:

"Elysia, the outside world you originally came from was largely composed of three major, distinct forces: Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, who formed the largest organizations against the Honkai."

"Hua from that timeline single-handedly protected the Shenzhou for thousands of years, ultimately becoming covered in wounds and losing most of his memories and power."

Elysia nodded knowingly and said:

"I learned quite a bit about these things from Mei, and I've heard about them before. So the key question is probably how the world situation has changed now."

"And since you brought up Hua, the reason for the major changes is probably closely related to her."

Thinking about what she was going to say next, Satou Yunona clicked her tongue inwardly, decided to mute herself, and handed the baton to her caring older sister Bronya. She then tugged at the stockings on Bronya's thigh, a delicate little gesture that was quite adorable.

Bronya immediately understood and continued:

"Yes, you mentioned earlier that Su Qing'an is disabled, right?"

Then, in front of Yuno, the gray-haired beauty continued to tell the story of a couple's wedding nine hundred years ago.

While Satou Yunona secretly plugged her ears with Honkai Energy to stop the conversation from continuing, Raiden Mei was facing a completely new situation.

United Kingdom.

Westminster city center.

Sky Garden, a luxury residence, Sequence Number 1.

The girl leaned silently against the center of the sofa, looking out the window at the undulating white clouds below, and even at the microcosm of the entire city. Her feelings were indescribable.

Su Qing'an sat in a large cushion shaped like a cat's paw, counting the animal crackers on his plate with a serious and calm expression. Occasionally, he would take a sip of the cola soda with ice and lemon next to him, looking every bit like a complete child.

At that age, Xiao Su was indeed a quiet and somewhat naive child, so from this perspective, his current state is roughly like a regression to his childhood mindset.

Raiden Mei glanced at the panel next to her, which contained hundreds of unique decoration patterns, highly realistic holographic projections, and even folding templates involving space, all of which she could adjust at will.

This sky garden enjoys extremely high permissions in this city; it can even be used as a vehicle to move autonomously, or to teleport directly within it to any location with a teleportation point.

Compared to her other companions, Raiden Mei had a truly perfect start. Not only was she initially in the same region as Su Qing'an, the source of everything, but she also gained a legitimate identity directly thanks to his help, seamlessly integrating into this world without taking any risks.

Even His Majesty the current Your Excellency cannot find the slightest discrepancy between her current identity and reality.

Su Qing'an's actions, in a sense, superimposed his own record onto the original history, completely altering the past and making it feel natural and unnatural.

Raiden Mei's current identity is both complicated and simple.

Because she shares the same soul as Mei, Fu Hua recognized her potential scientific research talent and sent her to a powerful organization within the Taixu Sect from a young age for elite education in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Currently, she has replaced Mobius in the original history as the head of the research department.

Book recommendation.

Synopsis: Transmigrating into Little White novel world, Xu Lin obtains a villain role-playing system.

As long as you listen to the lovelorn voice while playing the villain and getting crushed to dust by the protagonist, you can become an unparalleled immortal emperor.

When Xu Lin first met the female lead and pretended to be indifferent to her, the system felt both joy and sorrow in his heart:

[I, Xu Lin, have been reborn countless times, and finally I have found you, my love... But this world is rife with undercurrents, and in order to avoid being drawn into the darkness and turmoil, we can only wait until we ascend to immortality in the future to recognize each other again.]

As Xu Lin pretended to be the villain, pushing the female lead to the brink of despair, while chuckling and calculating when she would unleash her full power and crush him, the system in his mind was vividly describing:

[I'm sorry, but in order for you to obtain the Legend of the Immortal, I had no choice but to force you like this... I hope you can forgive me after you awaken, forgive me, the villain who orchestrated everything!]

Although the system's infatuated voice messages were a bit annoying, Xu Lin didn't pay too much attention to them.

But...

Years later, the female lead gazes at Xu Lin with deep affection:

"My husband! Now I have ascended to the celestial realm, invincible in this world. You and I no longer need to fear the darkness and turmoil of this world, and we can finally recognize each other as husband and wife!"

"You've sacrificed so much for me, yet I'm the one begging for forgiveness!"

Xu Lin:???
