Familiar opening, familiar tone.

It made many people smile.

"It seems everyone is very interested in the Goddess's gossip."

"It's only been a short while, and we're already at over eight million views."

"Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Yuzu is definitely fired up! I won't disappoint. I've managed to find quite a few good things from my ancestors! I'll share them with you all slowly later."

With that said.

Many people in the real world also got excited.

They tilted their heads up, staring intently.

"As previewed last time, this time we'll be taking stock of the girls behind the Goddess. We'll reference both official and unofficial histories. I don't know how accurate it'll be, so please view it rationally."

"If you feel this doesn't match your impression, if you feel you can't accept it."

"Then please just treat this video as entertainment."

"Yuzu just likes chatting about history for fun."

"Alright, disclaimer complete!"

"Let's get to the main topic!"

The Vup on the Sky Curtain still appeared as a two-headed, short-limbed animated figure, gesturing animatedly and even pulling out various small props.

It looked very cute.

She said.

"As everyone knows."

"As Honkai's most beloved daughter, our Goddess is the Herrscher of the End. Eh~ Herrscher of the End, does that remind you of anything? Yes, that's right! Herrscher of Origin!"

"Our Elysia, the universally recognized Herrscher of Origin, is the person closest to the Goddess. I doubt anyone would disagree with that, right?"

As if on cue.

The uploader in the video pulled up a character illustration.

It was a girl with pink hair, as beautiful and dreamy as a fairy, confident and pure. With just a faint smile, she seemed like a fairy tale that didn't belong to this world, as if all beauty was embodied in her.

It was hard to imagine such a beauty.

"Ah?"

In the Flame-Chasing Moth dormitory.

Elysia herself was startled and dumbfounded. She hadn't thought much of it when she heard the name, but seeing the illustration, wasn't that me?

Holy crap, it's me?

Wait a minute... I'm also a Herrscher?

The Herrscher of Origin?

She was a bit flustered.

It wasn't that she didn't know her own uniqueness, but she had never imagined she would be a Herrscher.

Just like what was said in the video.

One Origin, one End.

If there wasn't something going on between them, who would believe it?!

And every member of Flame-Chasing Moth who was familiar with Elysia wore expressions of utter disbelief.

"This is insane!"

To have a Herrscher show up at their doorstep.

Who would have thought that the pure white moonlight of the entire base, who greeted you every morning, would actually be a Herrscher?

What could I even say?

Damn, they really dropped a bombshell right from the start.

PS1: Here's the first update, one more to go, keep up the good work~~

019. Elysia: Oh no, I've been given away =_=

[……]

[It's not over yet~]

[Look!]

[Next up is our Herrscher of Origin, Miss Elysia, dedicating herself with familial love, here are her wedding photos with the Goddess… ]

[It's said the time was New Era 00.]

[In other words, it was the year the Great Honkai finally ended.]

[……]

[They couldn't wait to get married right after surviving the Honkai.]

[Honestly, their relationship is so good!]

[……]

My god, there's another master?!

Everyone was shocked.

You could see it!

On the sky curtain projection.

The two-headed paper cutout Vup, from bottom to top, suddenly lifted, rolling up Elysia's previous illustration like a scroll. Then, cutely, from left to right, it pulled out a photo as if presenting a treasure.

This once again caused Elysia's CPU to fry.

Her mind went completely blank, she was stunned, dumbfounded, questioning her entire existence.

"That... that's me?"

"Is that really me?!"

"……"

[A viewer asked earlier if the Goddess was a 0 or a 1, and now, isn't the answer right here?]

[……]

[In the photo, our Herrscher of Origin, Elysia, is embracing the Goddess like a devoted wife.]

[And our Goddess, look~ she has a doting expression, as if saying 'I really can't do anything about you,' tilting her head slightly to look at Elysia.]

[……]

[If you tell me our Goddess isn't a 1, even I wouldn't believe it!]

[Aren't they just too loving?!]

[The moment I think of this being the Herrscher of the End and that being the Herrscher of Origin, I will hoist the Kiana-Elysia flag high and never waver for ten thousand years!]

[Please type '1' in the public chat so I can see I'm not alone!]

[……]

"New Era 00... doesn't that mean it's been over fifty-five thousand years?"

"Yeah, this photo looks brand new..."

"……"

Although Old Era 5000 and New Era 55000 are actually just rough estimates.

If the Old Era was truly this period, then it would be at least eight thousand years.

So, no one actually believed that the New Era was only 55,000 years.

However, even so!

After tens of thousands of years, this photo looks like it was just unearthed. Is that logical?

But in fact, not only is it logical, but it's also completely expected!

Even incomprehensible things like Herrschers exist.

Honkai energy is omnipotent.

If it was truly a photo cherished by the Herrscher of Origin, wouldn't she find a way to preserve it properly?

Impossible!

Just from this perspective, Their relationship is genuinely strong...

It's just, two girls, uh... it's still a bit hard to process.

Many people in reality aren't prejudiced against this.

In fact, they were mentally prepared for it earlier, after all, she was 'the Goddess's wife'.

But when the photo was actually presented before their eyes...

I couldn't help it, my trembling hand wiped my eyes. As I focused, I felt an even more complex emotion.

Especially the picture.

They were truly two beautiful women.

Each one was breathtakingly gorgeous.

And whether it was Kiana as the Herrscher of the End or Elysia as the Herrscher of Origin, their auras were completely different from what their character illustrations had shown.

Origin wasn't as sacred; she had more of a human touch, like a happy little wife clinging to End and acting spoiled.

And End, in turn, wasn't so lofty or majestic. She was like an ordinary young girl, doting on her wife, loving her wife.

Her gaze towards Origin was so gentle.

An endless sea of flowers, countless flowers.

With the blue sky and white clouds behind them.

Even such an ordinary scene seemed to have transformed into a world-famous painting, unforgettable after just one glance.

Beautiful people, beautiful scenery, everything was beautiful.

This is just too wonderful!

"I remember Elysia... she was a newcomer to Flame-Chasing Moth, right?"

"Yes, during the Second Honkai War, she participated in the subjugation of the Second Herrscher. And she contributed greatly."

"..."

The higher-ups of Flame-Chasing Moth.

As they spoke, they fell silent again. A deafening silence.

So what was going on with this world?

The Herrscher of Origin didn't sound like an ordinary character, and yet, she went to fight the Second Herrscher right after her debut.
