"All right, all right, Elysia, who preferred not to reveal her name? She laughed..."
"I suddenly felt that Honkai people were so nice! They spoiled their daughters to this extent? They even had child betrothals right from the start? That's insane!"
"..."
All around the world, astonished exclamations like these rose and fell without end.
Over at Flame-Chasing Moth, Elysia stood bleakly in the wind, questioning her entire life. Huh? Me? The Herrscher of the End's fiancée? Was that for real?
One could see it now.
Onscreen.
A fairy-tale-style animation appeared.
It drew everyone's attention.
Miss Content Creator recited a story like a legend in a sing-song melody.
One day, she fell from the sky. People looked up, and thus saw the starry heavens.
The stars and moon sent forth the child of a god. She searched for her own companion.
The long wind became her carriage, and the four seas became her garden. Birds carried the seeds of goodness, while countless flowers wove hymns of love.
Thus she was born into the world. She walked upon the earth, grew up alongside humanity, and sprouted alongside the world.
And now, the time of the End had arrived.
And now, the time of Origin had arrived.
Her love, her flowers, her reason for existing, her everything, finally wove a flower of pure beauty. She gave love to the End and called forth a miracle with true love.
The wedding she had anticipated since birth.
This was her most beautiful moment.
Look.
A rather simple animation.
Together with those verses.
It seemed to add even more beauty to the scene.
From her ignorant days at birth, to becoming a graceful young woman, and finally achieving her happy ending.
How beautiful it was!
From the moment she was born, she had known that she was the End's wife. But who was the End? She had been confused.
Even if she had forgotten, even if she did not remember, it did not matter.
In the end.
At the moment of the End, the End awakened.
She realized that she had finally found the person she had been looking for.
She smiled brilliantly.
She melted the cold End, turning her into soft pliancy around her fingers.
The whole world blessed them.
Lovers would finally become a couple...
Could there be anything more beautiful than that?
Just watching it made one's heart yearn for it.
Such a beautiful love was truly dreamlike!
PS1: The first update is here. There's one more coming, keep it up~~
Mobius: Huh? Grandma? Me? (What are you talking about, sis.JPG)
"Did you see that?"
"..."
The leaders, think tanks, and representatives of various organizations in every country.
One after another, they noticed the issue.
Or rather!
Some were very perceptive.
Others were slightly slower.
But that did not matter!
Even though the animation had already ended.
And Miss UP was talking about something else.
None of that was as important as what they were thinking about now.
They kept recalling the animation they had just watched.
Perhaps.
To this future person, this Virtual YouTuber, it was only a nursery rhyme, a story of uncertain truth.
But precisely because it had been revealed by the heavenly screen, no location or piece of information could be overlooked. Everything had to be carefully considered!
They thought it over carefully.
Very quickly, they realized something!
In the first half of the animation, Elysia descended from the sky, was adopted, traveled around the world, and gradually grew up.
She also came to know many people in Flame-Chasing Moth.
But!
In the second half.
Amid those seemingly beautiful scenes.
At the very beginning, the End had been cold. Her golden eyes were even more indifferent than in the earlier character art, as though she were truly a god. The chibi animation had merely concealed it.
But following that line of thought.
Could it be that, at the time of the End, the End had already begun to lose control?
Yet Elysia had pulled her back?
Because Elysia threw herself into her arms, and the two of them put on wedding dresses together. That made the Young Lady seem different.
Because she had smiled. She had smiled so happily.
From cold and aloof to joyful and bashful.
It was like a transformation from a god into a human.
In the earlier character art, the End had been terrifying, but she had not reached that extent.
"Could we understand it as..."
"The Herrscher of Origin was not merely the Young Lady's destined wife, but also a safeguard that preserved the Young Lady's humanity?"
"..."
If that was really the case!
Quick!
Send Elysia to Kiana.
Since she was the wife Honkai itself had ordained for Kiana, they absolutely could not keep her from Kiana any longer.
Bribing the examiner?
What was that supposed to mean?! I have no idea!
In truth, many people had many disputes regarding the Herrscher of Origin's powers.
Although Miss Yuzu had had the chance to meet Lady Elysia in person and ask her about it, Elysia had only smiled mysteriously and told her nothing.
Lady Elysia was so naughty~
Quite a few higher-ups signaled to their subordinates to hurry up and take notes.
But even if they only inferred things from scattered clues or the words of others, they could still guess a few things.
The following is not guaranteed to be accurate either!
Actually, one could tell from this content creator's occasional fragmented remarks that, in the future several tens of thousands of years later that she kept talking about, both Origin and the End were still alive.
There was not even any guarantee that others might not still be alive as well.
It was just that!
Those who still did not believe the heavenly screen projection was real, or did not believe what it said referred to their world, perhaps truly would not notice such things.
But those who knew the inside story, who were older, who wielded immense power and possessed wealth rivaling nations, desperately wished to live a little longer—or better yet, to live forever.
Naturally, they noticed this issue.
They simply did not say it aloud.
Because it was like a taboo.
Everyone was tempted.
But no one could make the first move.
They could think about it in their hearts.
But!
If they acted, they would instead become weapons in someone else's hands. No higher-up would be willing to do that.
Even if they truly intended to do something.
They would not act rashly.
They knew very well that the End could not be touched. But what if? And if the End could not be touched, what about Origin?
There would always be people who harbored wishful hopes.
For now, they were only restless and had not truly acted.
That was only because, as things stood, it seemed that only Herrschers possessed longevity. Perhaps it was simply an inherent characteristic of Herrschers.
After all, Herrschers were already so powerful.
So unbelievable.
Being a little more miraculous would not be strange at all.
Yet they truly hoped to find more clues from the heavenly screen. It was something they all tacitly understood.
According to various records.
Lady Elysia liked to use a bow in battle because she believed its graceful, flowerlike movements suited her perfectly.
Every arrow she fired was a pink crystal.
They were not ice crystals, nor were they so cold, but they seemed to freeze time itself and could still freeze everything.
Thus, official speculation—and the view supported by many experts—was that Lady Elysia's authority was time.
Or rather, she represented eternity.
