The scene on the screen continued playing.
The young lady's tone grew more serious as she analyzed things step by step.
But we all know that the Young Lady personally admitted that one of the Herrscher of the End's powers was reincarnation.
It referred to resetting everything through time and sending civilization back to the savage era of the past.
This was the truth of the Herrscher of the End.
It was also the reason civilization could rise again tens of thousands of years after its destruction.
She was truly determined to shock everyone with her words.
She said,
We could assume that our world had not been reset, because the past was gone. But before our civilization, there must have been other civilizations. They failed the trial and ultimately met their end.
"The Previous Civilization..."
Himiko tilted her head back thoughtfully, then smiled with easygoing indifference. Yeah, even if it existed, what did it have to do with her?
But clearly,
many scholars and experts were deeply interested.
Especially the archaeologists. They were in an uproar.
Everyone knew that Herrscher powers came in countless strange varieties, but duplicates were rare.
Even similar powers merely shared the same general direction; their details or essence differed greatly.
The footage continued.
According to my ancestor, Elysia was the Herrscher of Humanity—a Herrscher who had truly been human from the very beginning.
But that clearly could not fully describe her powers.
Then Grandma Mobius said that Elysia was an annoying person, yet everyone was practically bewitched and simply could not bring themselves to dislike her.
Could that also have been caused by her powers?
"Grandma... Mobius?" Mobius went blank. Beside her, Bianca pursed her lips to hide a laugh, only to be met with Mobius's death glare.
Aunt Eden also said that Eri was all the beauty in the world. She was a song, a movement. If she played a pure and beautiful melody, everything in the world would respond to her. There was nothing she could not do.
"Eden..." Her manager looked at Eden.
Eden smiled. "What a beautiful compliment. I'm becoming more and more interested in that Elysia. It seems she and I will be very familiar with each other in the future."
One voice recording after another was played.
Anyone familiar with them could tell that the voices were identical.
They were definitely theirs.
Yet because of the difference between bone conduction and air conduction, they themselves did not get that feeling.
Even so,
their expressions could not help turning strange.
PS1: Here's the second update. We'll keep it up tomorrow too~~
Next time, we'll cover Grandma Mobius.
After that,
Miss UP played several more recordings one after another.
They were clearly important figures from the future.
They gave sharp reviews of Elysia.
What they said reflected their views of Elysia.
The higher-ups, strategists, and even those with ulterior motives all took notes. They even recorded those people's names.
Aside from familiar names such as Mobius and Eden, they could also clearly hear names like Hen, Bianca, Himiko, Hua, Desdrobia, Su, and so on...
That was right.
Whether they knew who these people were or not,
or what they did,
since their names had been mentioned, they needed to find them quickly.
Although many historians did not necessarily subscribe to the great man theory of history, if someone's name could remain after tens of thousands of years and they could still be so active, they were definitely no ordinary person.
They had to bring them in first, no matter what!
At the very least, they needed to find them and keep track of their current circumstances. Wasn't that right?
At first, they might have worried whether such people existed in this era. But since these people were together with Kiana and Elysia, they definitely already existed in this age.
That made things much easier!
What drew even more attention, however, was this UP creator's judgment regarding Elysia's authority.
After all, the information she had obtained was different. She clearly had more channels, understood more, and thus her analysis was more accurate.
Of course they had to copy the answer sheet!
A natural-born Herrscher?
As people thought of Elysia, all sorts of thoughts arose in their minds.
It could be seen!
Among those closely associated with Lady Elysia, some knew about this, some genuinely did not, and some were simply being cryptic and did not want to say it outright. But they could still see some clues.
The projected footage continued.
Miss UP continued speaking.
Every Herrscher title was not bestowed casually.
Broadly speaking, the Herrscher of the End was powerful and terrifying, capable of bringing an end to all things. That was why she was the Herrscher of the End.
And what about Lady Elysia? The Herrscher of Origin!
Origin, origin—the beginning of all things...
Could she simply be equated with the origin of everything?
If she embodied the concept of origin, then following the instinctive closeness every creature felt toward its own bloodline and its own origin, it would be only natural for humanity to feel so close to her.
But if she not only symbolized origin, but could also begin from that initial point to influence other things and manipulate the threads extending outward, then could that mean she was capable of rewriting fate as well?
From that perspective, perhaps many things could be explained.
Think about it.
Things frozen by her crystals had their time suspended. But what if, from the very first node, she modified the setting along the line of reality and gave the target the trait of remaining still from the very beginning?
Would that not make it possible?
They were numb.
Wasn't that basically administrator access?
And this was not merely something as simple as writing code or adjusting parameters.
She could interfere with you from the first point, the original source, even the deepest underlying code.
Perhaps she was far less overwhelmingly powerful than the Herrscher of the End.
But that precise degree of control was even more terrifying.
Just imagine it.
If she wanted to alter you and wished you were female, could she directly make the change from the moment you were born—or even before you were born—so that you had been female from the very beginning?
Of course,
Elysia's authority definitely had limits.
Talking about rules without considering scale was pure nonsense.
But even so, it was terrifying!
"Oh my~ So... I'm that amazing?" Even Elysia herself was stunned.
Is that really me?
I have that ability?
How come I didn't know?! How strange~
But indeed! This could explain it too.
Because she was the origin of all things, to humanity, she was like the closest possible mother. Naturally, people would unconsciously feel close to her.
You could also understand it as her wanting herself to be more popular, so consciously or unconsciously, she modified the original settings and made many people unable to help favoring her.
Of course!
Things like calling forth miracles were even easier to explain.
Because Elysia herself was a miracle!
In Kiana's view,
Elysia had sacrificed herself in the Original Work, changing the Cocoon of the End and granting humanity to the Herrschers of the next era.
That in itself had been an intervention based on the underlying code.
It was fate's choice.
And after she plucked the strings of fate, she wrote into the very origin—the fundamental basis of Herrscher birth—the setting that she hoped they could retain their sense of self.
Of course,
the specifics no longer mattered.
Once Kiana believed this and revealed it in the projected footage, Elysia would instinctively consider that perhaps she really was like that.
And the future Worldline would acknowledge it as well.
It would shift even further in that direction.
Besides, no matter what, this ability was not weak.
No matter what Elysia's true authority actually was!
If she developed it in this direction, it would not be bad.
In fact,
many people shuddered after thinking it through.
But many others did not understand.
People around them explained it to them, and someone always realized what it meant.
They suddenly understood, and were even more amazed.
