"Achoo!"
After completing the game production, Bronie decided to take a short break.
The research on the Elysian Realm had little to do with her, and the progress was gradually slowing down.
There was no way around it. No matter how powerful Schicksal was, the resources at hand were limited. However, Fu Hua had indeed been healed and was now staying in the Elysian Realm as both an Immortal and a part-time Valkyrie.
Over the course of fifty thousand years, Fu Hua's body had undergone some changes, which intrigued Mobius.
Of course, there were also the injuries she had once died from.
Later, Aponia stepped in, and everyone learned that it was the aftermath of the SWARA, which made everyone feel awkward.
"Human, it seems you also have days of illness. With such a fragile body, why not abandon it and become my subordinate? I can grant you immortality and endless power."
Sirin stood by and saw Bronie's grand gesture. She disdainfully pushed aside her plate, on which there was still uneaten cherry cake.
This cake, naturally was traded from Rosalia's.
That little fool could be easily pleased with a little sweetness. When tired of snacks, Miss Sirin could always exchange with Rosalia.
As for where the money came from?
Hmph, wasn't it the money sent by that bastard Siegfried who left Kiana? Who else could it be?
"Granting power and such is better left unsaid. Clearly, you can't even defeat me."
Bronie lazily lounged on the sofa, her small feet in white stockings dangling by Sirin's feet, her toes restlessly moving around, while Sirin dared not speak up.
She widened her eyes.
"Hmph, that's because I'm not at my peak now!"
"Hahaha, do you know, above the stars within the Sea of Quanta, there are countless humans! If you want to destroy humans, why not take them along?"
It was obvious this was a provocation.
Sirin could only glare at Bronie again, then reluctantly lay on the sofa like a deflated pufferfish.
"Forget it, humans are like insects, you can't kill them all. When the Archbishop of Schicksal is no longer useful to you, remember to bring him to me to vent my anger."
With Sirin quiet again, she naturally pondered many questions, such as the meaning of life, her future plans, or her own hatred for humans.
Later, as she thought about it, she was drawn to games and their stories, and she also figured out many things.
Archbishop Otto of Schicksal, an extreme egoist, had caused countless tragedies in order to achieve his goals and was also the main culprit in Sirin becoming a Herrscher.
But he also gave Sirin a chance to start over, so Sirin generously allowed Bronie to use Otto to achieve her goals!
It wasn't because of Bronie!
"When you remember, call for Benares. Maybe you'll get a loyal maid."
"Bella! Oh, right, there's Bella..."
Hearing Bronie's words, Sirin suddenly remembered something.
"Let's not talk about Bella's matter for now."
Then Sirin slumped back on the sofa.
"Huh?"
Bronie looked puzzled.
"Do you have any games that can be played inside the consciousness? That way, I can be lazy and not come out. Sometimes, Miss Black Seele gets a little impatient with taking care of me, and I feel it's more comfortable to play games inside Kiana's body."
"Well, there is a thing like that as some of the personalities in Vill-V have complained that their control over the body's time is too short, so they thought about surfing the internet inside the consciousness. Give me some time, and I can create it directly."
"Well, this kind of life is enough. Without goals, life feels meaningless. I can only play games, eat snacks, and simply live day by day."
Revenge had occupied most of Sirin's life, and when revenge was no longer in her to-do list, Sirin couldn't find a goal and fell into empty thinking.
Perhaps having Black Seele as a friend was also possible?
However, Black Seele was completely uninterested in taking action most of the time, and Sirin inexplicably found herself influenced by Black Seele.
Although Kiana could be quite chatty at times, she was indeed interesting, especially when she acted foolishly and then cried and begged for help in her silly manner.
Although Sirin knew it was an act, she was willing to build a good relationship with Kiana. Because in her life, there were only Bronie, Kiana and Black Seele.
Of course, now there was also Benares.
"Okay, as long as you're happy. But in the future, the Elysian Realm might need the power of the Herrscher of the Void to help out a bit. They can offer you quite a reward. If you're not too busy, it wouldn't hurt to go over and help a little, right?"
"In the future? How long from now?"
"Um... Four years? Three years? In short, just a little use of your fingers."
"Okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with my gaming."
Sirin completely assumed the demeanor of a salted fish, which made Bronie also feel somewhat regretful.
How did a fine pufferfish end up becoming a salted fish in her orphanage?
Oh well, with Sirin's promise, everything was fine.
"It seems I'll have to create some more interesting games in the future, but Sirin..."
"What?"
"You've been playing Apex for so many years, why are you still in gold rank?"
"Mind your own business!!"
...
"Long time no see, Kevin. I'm here to negotiate terms with you."
Su became an important field operative for the Elysian Realm and would receive direct orders from Elysia, Mobius, and Vill-V.
Of course, he was also entrusted by Otto to observe Bianka's group from afar in the Sea of Quanta, providing necessary security for their quantum sea travels.
However, just soaking in the Sea of Quanta and watching the adventures of the two girls felt quite boring to Su, so he found Kevin and came to visit his 'prison'.
Kevin was quite surprised by Su's arrival.
Seeing that ethereal figure, Kevin knew that Su had stopped observing him through the Project Velaka and had resorted to other means.
But it seemed he still didn't intend to let him out.
"I thought I wouldn't have a chance to come out until after I died my old friend."
The real Kevin remained as icy as ever, and even more bewildering was the fact that in this empty world, Kevin had created a Honkai beast for some reason.
It was extremely large and a bit ugly, but very intimidating.
"The Project Velaka has ended, and the Elysian Realm..."
"Who?"
Whenever the Elysian Realm was mentioned, Kevin became a bit anxious.
"Calm down my dear friend, the Elysian Realm is as normal as ever. I mean the Project Velaka was successful, although it didn't have much to do with me."
Hearing Su's response, Kevin couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"Is it reliable?"
Foreigners generally speaking were very unreliable, and they had no reason to save this world or fight against the Honkai.
Precisely because he fully understood the Honkai, Kevin knew how difficult it was to fight against it.
"I can see her determination, and she has a good relationship with the memory body Elysia... Strictly speaking, after Vill-V's research, it was determined that she is a Herrscher from the Sea of Quanta, a similar existence but different."
"Herrschers can't defeat the Honkai."
Su knew his old friend's personality very well, so he smiled.
"Elysia, she brings hope to fight against the Honkai, so it's not impossible for Herrschers to defeat the Honkai."
"So the plan?"
"Resurrect Elysia, use Elysia's power to locate the location of the Cocoon of Finality, modify the internal system of the Cocoon of Finality, or directly seize control of the Cocoon of Finality."
"Resurrect?"
"It just happens to be used to pass the time here for you. The Elysian Realm has recently undergone many changes, most of which are quite good. Dr. Vill-V and Mobius's recent research reports will show you, and you will understand after reading."
As Su spoke, it seemed like he was manipulating something, and then a bunch of paper documents came flying down like a storm.
This sudden change left Kevin a bit bewildered.
"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've seen that expression on you. You probably won't be able to read most of the scientific reports, but you should be able to understand this summary."
The paper documents had almost formed a small mountain, but there was a golden document at the end that caught Kevin's attention.
"What ability is this?"
"Oh, right, it's the Ether Editing ability possessed by the great successor chosen by the entirety of Elysian Realm. She copied that document, then compressed it. I just decoded it, so it's not my ability after all."
Looking at the summary, Kevin finally understood the general idea.
Because he had to learn some advanced knowledge to deal with Herrschers in the past, Kevin could still understand many things.
And the truth of the world that Dr. Mei didn't notice until the end still remained in Kevin's mind.
The Tree of Imaginary Numbers...
The truth of this world, and even more information, was actually brought by the Herrscher from the so-called Sea of Quabta!
"I will personally judge the matter of the Herrscher from the Sea of Quanta."
Su's lips curled slightly.
"I knew you would say that, so I won't rush to bring you back. I'll wait until we have a complete research result, but it must be boring to stay here. I have a game console here, as well as a charger and high-energy battery, which can be used continuously for ten years."
Another box fell on top of the documents.
Kevin was a little regretful to be imprisoned in the Sea of Quanta by Su like this.
Otherwise, why did this scene appear like Su was visiting him in prison?
But he still felt a complex mixture of emotions as he hesitantly opened the game console.
But there seemed to be only one game in the console—Getting Over It with Haxxor Bunny.
"Why is there only one game?"
"Because I want you to play this game first. The other games will be unlocked after you clear this one. And these games are all made by Miss Bronie. You can understand what kind of person she is through her works, although maybe only a part of her."
Seeing Su's relaxed smile, Kevin suddenly had a rare feeling of unease.
"Don't worry, Elysia knows about you and can't bear to see you lonely in here. We will prepare to establish a network later, so you can communicate anytime, and I will also come occasionally to deliver supplies."
Isn't this still like visiting a prison?
Now Kevin was very annoyed.
But he could only reluctantly accept it.
After all, back then, it was Kevin who pushed Su into the world and tacitly accepted Su's actions to stop his Project Stigma.
The Project Stigma was the worst plan, so it was saved for last. There was nothing wrong with that, but Kevin's mentality was not very good at the time. With the failure of Griseo's Project Ark, Kevin's patience was completely exhausted in the end.
Griseo's matter had a great impact on Kevin.
"I understand, I will judge on my own."
Kevin believed that the so-called game couldn't guarantee the true nature of that person.
But it could reflect the character of the creator indirectly.
"Well, I look forward to the day when we meet again in the future. Maybe even Dr. Mei could be resurrected."
The softest part of Kevin's heart was touched, and there was suddenly a glimmer in his eyes.
"Until we truly defeat the Honkai, I will not give up on the Project Stigma."
"I understand, my dear friend. Goodbye, my dear friend."
Su nodded, feeling that Kevin had indeed changed very little.
No, it should be said that there had never been any change in Kevin's heart when it came to fighting against the Honkai.
Just like Sans who locked themselves and the Genocide Route in the same timeline, heroes always bore heavy burdens.
Kevin just watched as Su gradually dissipated, but at the last moment, Su suddenly said, "By the way, game development is also divided by time. I marked the production time and the time she arrived. Maybe the theme has a lot to do with her connections in this world."
Then Su completely disappeared, and the world bubble once again entered its usual silence.
Originally, Kevin had planned to relive the tragedy of the Twelfth Herrscher.
But now, what was in front of Kevin was to read the plan for resurrection in the Imaginary Tree and a game.
Looking at the densely packed documents, Kevin felt his scalp tingling, so he turned his gaze to the box containing the game console.
When he opened the box earlier, he found many other things inside.
Digging through the box, he found a box of instant noodles with a note attached to it.
[To Boss Kevin outside! I heard you seem to be having a tough time! I've brought you a box of instant noodles. When we're all resurrected, we must eat together again!]
There were many more gifts behind it: Gridek's paintings, Aponia's carved figurines, Vill-V's surprise box, Mobius's green snake sleeping bag, Elysia's storybook prepared for him, which was a small story between Elysia and Bronie in the Elysian Realm.
Of course, there were also Vill-V's puzzle pieces, Kosma's comic book, Sakura's cherry blossom decorations, and the vinyl record and record player from Eden.
Each gift had a note attached, along with some words of encouragement and encouragement.
Kevin trembled as he slowly put down the note in his hand, silently raising his head to look at the empty sky of the Bubble World.
There were many things he wanted to share with everyone, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything.
Can resurrection really succeed?
