[……]

"Alright, alright, the unnamed Elysia? Haha..."

"I suddenly feel like Honkai is actually pretty great! Doting on their daughter to this extent, they even arrange a childhood engagement right from the start? Awesome!"

"……"

Across the world, similar exclamations rose one after another, never ceasing.

Elysia, at Flame-Chasing Moth, felt a desolation in the wind, questioning her entire existence. Huh? Me? The fiancée of the Herrscher of the End? Is this real or fake?

At this moment.

On the screen.

An animation filled with fairy tale charm appeared.

It captured everyone's attention.

The female Content Creator, with a song-like melody, recited a legendary story.

[One day, She fell from the sky. People looked up, and thus saw the starry sky.]

[The moon and stars brought God's child, who was searching for her partner.]

[The long wind became her chariot, the four seas became her garden. Birds carried the seeds of goodness, and a hundred flowers wove a song of love.]

[Thus she was born into the world, walked the earth, grew up with humanity, and sprouted with the world.]

[……]

[And now, the time of the End has arrived.]

[And now, the time of the Origin has arrived.]

[Her love, her flowers, the meaning of her existence, everything about her, finally wove a pure and beautiful flower, giving love to the End, calling for miracles with true love.]

[The wedding she had anticipated since birth.]

[This is her, the most beautiful moment.]

[……]

See.

A somewhat simple animation.

Paired with the recitation.

It seemed to add even more to the beautiful artistic conception.

From the ignorance of birth, to standing tall and graceful, and then finally achieving a happy ending.

How wonderful!

From the moment of birth, she knew she was the End's wife, but who was the End? She was confused.

It didn't matter even if she forgot or couldn't remember.

Until the end.

The time of the End arrived, the End awakened.

She realized she had finally found the person she was looking for.

Smiling brilliantly.

She melted the cold End, like a gentle caress.

The world blessed them.

Lovers finally become family...

Is there anything more beautiful than this?

Just watching it made one's heart yearn.

Such beautiful love, truly, so dreamy!

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

021. Mobius: Huh? Grandma? Me? (Not sisters.JPG)

"Did you guys see that?"

"……"

High-ranking officials, think tanks, and various organizations from different countries, as they discussed amongst themselves, all gradually discovered the problem.

Or rather!

Some were very perceptive.

Others were slightly less so.

But that didn't matter!

Even though the animation had already finished playing.

The Content Creator was talking about other things.

None of that was as important as what they were thinking about now.

They kept recalling the animation they had just seen.

Perhaps.

For a Virtual YouTuber, a person from the future, it was just a nursery rhyme, a story of uncertain truth.

But precisely because the Sky Curtain had exposed it, not a single place, not a single piece of information, could be missed. They had to consider it carefully!

They thought, carefully.

And soon, they realized!

The previous animation, in its first half, showed Elysia descending from the sky, being adopted, and then traveling the world, gradually growing up.

She had also met many people in Flame-Chasing Moth.

But!

In the second half.

The seemingly beautiful scenes.

At the very beginning, the Herrscher of the End was cold, her golden eyes even more indifferent than her previous character design, as if she were a true deity, merely masked by the chibi animation.

But if they thought about it along these lines.

Was it possible that the Herrscher of the End, at the moment of her end, had already lost some control?

But was she saved by Elysia?

Because Elysia threw herself into her arms, and the two of them put on wedding dresses together. This made the young lady look different.

Because she smiled, didn't she? She smiled, very happily.

From indifference and aloofness to later joy and shyness.

It was like a transformation from a deity to a human.

In the previous character design, although the Herrscher of the End was terrifying, she hadn't reached that level.

"Can we interpret this as..."

"The Herrscher of Origin is not only the young lady's destined wife, but also a safeguard for the young lady's humanity?"

"..."

If that were truly the case!

Quick!

Send Elysia to Kiana.

Since Honkai had decreed her as Kiana's wife, they absolutely couldn't hold onto her.

Bribing the examiner?

What's that?! I don't know!

[Actually, there's a lot of debate about the Herrscher of Origin's authority.]

[Even though I, Yuzu, had the chance to meet Miss Elysia herself and ask her, she just smiled mysteriously and didn't tell me.]

[Miss Elysia, you're naughty~]

[...]

Many high-ranking officials gestured to their subordinates to quickly take notes.

[But if we can only infer some things from clues or from what others say, we can still guess some things.]

[The following is not guaranteed to be true!]

[...]

In fact, from the occasional fragmented remarks of this Content Creator, it could be seen that in the future time points tens of thousands of years later that she kept mentioning, the Herrscher of Origin and the Herrscher of the End were both alive.

It wasn't even guaranteed that others might also be alive.

It's just that!

Those who still don't believe the Sky Curtain projection is real, or don't believe that what the Sky Curtain says is about their world, perhaps truly won't notice these things.

But those who know the inside story, the older ones, many with immense power and wealth beyond compare, desperately wished to live longer, or even, ideally, to live forever.

They naturally noticed this issue.

They just didn't speak of it.

Because it was like a taboo.

Everyone was tempted.

But no one could act first.

You can think about it in your heart.

But!

If you make a move, you'll just become a pawn in someone else's game. No high-ranking official would want that.

Even if they really wanted to do something.

They wouldn't act rashly.

They knew very well that the Herrscher of the End was untouchable, but what if? And if the Herrscher of the End was untouchable, what about the Herrscher of Origin?

There are always people who hold onto a sliver of hope.

They are merely stirring now, not truly acting.

It's also only because, for now, immortality seems to be just a characteristic of Herrschers, perhaps even an inherent trait of Herrschers themselves.

After all, Herrschers are already so powerful.

So incredible.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration for them to be even more miraculous.

But they also genuinely hope to find more clues from the Sky Curtain. This is something they all tacitly understand.

[From various records.]

[Elysia prefers to use a bow when fighting because she feels its graceful, flower-like movements suit her perfectly.]

[Every arrow she shoots is a pink crystal.]

[It's not ice, nor is it at such low temperatures, but it seems to freeze time itself, yet it can still freeze everything.]

[...]

[Therefore, official speculation, agreed upon by many experts, suggests that Elysia's authority is over time.]

[Or perhaps, she represents eternity.]
