"I heard that Bronie, who created the game 'Getting Over it with Haxxor Bunny,' has returned. I finally found you."
What! Are you here to settle scores with me too!
Upon hearing someone suddenly speak like this, Bronie immediately became nervous, and her buttocks tightened even more.
Turning around, she saw a girl with cherry blossom hair and fox ears standing behind her.
"Um, sorry if my game brought you some unpleasant memories?"
The fox-eared girl shook her head.
"It's not just unpleasant memories, there are also some pleasant ones. Although the game spread quickly within the Elysian Realm, not everyone can enjoy the schadenfreude. But the network you prepared to connect with the outside world also allowed me to see the plight of many people after playing this game."
"It seems you are very concerned about the outside world?"
"It's also because of Elysia's suggestion to find a way to leave the Elysian Realm, and you also told me something more important."
"Yes, your sister, Rin, may indeed still be alive."
Upon hearing Bronie mention that name, Sakura couldn't help but close her eyes, recalling the bits and pieces of the past.
"But according to what I know, my sister Rin should have become the Herrscher of Corruption, then she died, and perhaps even be made into a Divine Key"
If it were Elysia who heard this, she would probably be greatly shocked.
You see, Sakura was the earliest of the Thirteen Flamechasers to die, and originally, she didn't have the conditions to duplicate her memories into the Elysian Realm.
It seems that Sakura here knew it all along.
Everyone kept it from Sakura, but Sakura also kept it from everyone.
"Until Finality came, the Divine Key was never finished, and the Herrscher of Corruption has always been sealed in a box. Even after fifty thousand years, her will has not been completely worn away, but only negative emotions remain. Therefore, five hundred years ago, there were still quite a few disturbances caused by it "
"Was it the Black Death?"
"No, it was in Japan. The seal was broken, and a shrine maiden named Yae Sakura annihilated the entire village. Although those people were not innocent, the outbreak of Honkai eventually spread to many areas."
"What about now? What's her situation now?"
"Now she is still confronting Yae Sakura, but she has also been sealed back into the box. Sooner or later, she will be eradicated from the world of the Stigmata, and then she may be able to recover and continue in a different form?"
Now there was a reason to leave the Elysian Realm.
Even though the real herself was already dead.
But now this memory body of herself, able to act, able to think, can help her sister, everything was meaningful.
"Suddenly, I feel like I want to leave the Elysian Realm, just like Dr. Mebius."
"That's good. After you come out of the Elysian Realm, I'll guide you to the hometown of the that shrine maiden. You can find your sister there."
"Okay, thank you for telling me all this."
After bidding farewell to Sakura, perhaps there are other places in this Elysium Everlasting where the Flamechasers are.
Sakura, Hua, they don't know about the existence of the Elysium Everlasting.
One died early, so she knew very little.
The other frequently deleted her own memories, knowing even less.
But Eden should know, right?
"Hello, Eden, there are so many Honkai Zombies and Honkai Beasts on the way. Do you often encounter such things walking around inside the big cities in your era?"
Yes, before encountering Eden, Bronie encountered another wave of monsters.
Fortunately, Sakura intervened a bit when she left, otherwise Bronie would have to expend mental energy projecting drones to bomb them again.
Bronie hasn't really encountered such intense battles before.
Is this something that needs to be accustomed to?
Bronie didn't know.
Just felt that such intense battles might not be good for her growth, like height, figure, and so on.
"Of course not. In the era of the Great Eruptions, every corner of every city has a Honkai Isolation Device set up, and there are usually no Honkai beasts born inside the cities. Also, this is a feature of the Elysian Realm, facing such challenges in the depths of every memory space."
"Well, Sakura and Hua don't know about the existence of this area. Do you know?"
"I didn't know before coming here either, but I can see at a glance that the style of the Elysium Everlasting belongs to Elysia. The world in her eyes is so colorful."
"So many Flamechasers don't know..."
"This also demonstrates how significant you are in Elysia's heart, doesn't it? If it were merely about creating games, Elysia wouldn't have taken such action, but there's something more unique about you that you haven't realized."
According to Bronie's understanding of the plot, Mei's ability to be taken to the Elysium Everlasting by Elysia is because of her role as a Herrscher. Additionally, she gained recognition after fighting with the Flamechasers inside the Elysium Everlasting.
She hasn't fought much with the Flamechasers, and she isn't a Herrscher, so why did Elysia take notice of her?
Bronie was puzzled.
"It seems you are just realizing your position now, but it's okay. In this Elysium Everlasting, you will definitely find the answers."
Well, most of the people in the Elysian Realm are enigmatic. And everyone has different perspectives and explanations.
Now it's Bronie's turn to be confused.
Originally, Bronie thought she knew everything.
But now it seems she's a bit shallow.
"It couldn't be that I'm being treated as a Herrscher, could it?"
Bronie muttered to herself, then bid farewell to Eden.
Eden also heard Bronie's words and looked subtly at Bronie's departing figure.
According to Eden's understanding of Elysia, this Elysium Everlasting might really be specifically prepared for Herrschers.
But Bronie actually knows this.
And Elysia's consideration of something, Eden is not sure. But when Bronie said that, the matter of Elysia opening the Elysium Everlasting became complicated.
No wonder Kevin's reaction was so significant.
And Aponia even shrunk into the Deep End without making a sound.
"I hope Elysia's choice is the right one. The Elysian Realm is about to change drastically..."
From Eden's words, Bronie finally realized a bit of Elysia's true intentions.
Ditching our date like that, Elysia must have some other motive.
This is beyond doubt.
But the opening of the Elysium Everlasting is indeed a bit strange.
No, not a bit, but very strange.
Ignoring Eden's advertisements and even the recruitment ads for the Fire Moth, and even the recruitment notices for Mebius's laboratory, Bronie thought all the way and finally arrived at the city gate.
But the city gate was closed, not welcoming her arrival.
"Is this audience really so impatient? Have I entered without waiting for the invitation?"
Suddenly Bronie's vision went black, and a huge magic hat covered her whole body.
Bending down to lift the hat, Bronie saw many hats around her.
Then the other hats suddenly exploded, and a group of roaring robots with bombs strapped to their backs emerged from inside.
"Is this how you always make your entrance?"
"For me, normal means failure. The previous magic performance made me taste the bitterness of failure after a long time. I can't afford to fail again. Can you understand?"
The power of the bombs wasn't great, but the noise and commotion they caused were quite frightening.
Bronie quickly projected firearms, but those roaring robots were easily shattered. While Vill-V's entrance was scary, it wasn't much of a threat.
"Just a short time apart, and you've come looking for me again. I haven't even read the information you gave me. Is there something missing in the information you gave me?"
"Of course not, I just wanted to give you something interesting, hoping that these things could help you in Elysium Everlasting."
Saying that, Vill-V took out a card.
"This is..."
Bronie took the card, feeling a familiar sensation.
It felt a bit like when Su's Signet was activated.
"Yes! That's the expression. Through my own methods, I left Su's Signet's power on the card, combined with the Helix Signet I gave you, to unleash a more versatile effect~"
Seeing Bronie's surprised expression, Vill-V was very satisfied.
"Can the Helix Signet further optimize the power of other Signets? You really deserve it..."
"After all, I'm the chief engineer of the Fire Moth and the builder of the Elysian Realm. I still know the basic principles of the Signet. It's impossible that there haven't been any improvements in fifty thousand years, right? But guess what I invented this originally for?"
"For what?"
"Of course, to deal with Kevin. This thing is also included in the list of arms for dealing with Kevin. The grand magic performance was almost ready, but then Elysia suddenly pulled such a stunt, stealing all the limelight from me. Looks like you're really special."
Even Vill-V said so.
But Bronie really couldn't evaluate this matter.
Su's Signet power hidden in the card, so Bronie still quite believed in Vill-V's creativity.
"Thank you, your gift is very useful to me. This thing can greatly accelerate my mastery of other Signets."
"My dear audience, believe me, it will bring you many surprises in your life. I have placed more cards in the treasure chest for you to search for, and then feel the surprises I have prepared for you! But now it's Elysia's home court, so I won't disturb you. Until next time, maybe I can prepare an even grander magic performance for you, look forward to it~"
Vill-V has always been so capricious.
But seeing Vill-V leave, Bronie suddenly remembered that she had something more important to ask her.
Yes, the backdoor of the Void Archives, and the backdoor left by the Jizo Mitama Design at the beginning.
On the one hand, it can be used to deal with Otto and steal intelligence.
On the other hand, it is also for Sakura, to be able to contact her sister earlier.
Fortunately, Vill-V can't run away inside the Elysian Realm, so there's no problem asking her about this next time they meet.
"Long wait, Bronie~"
Just when Bronie was aimlessly wandering around, starting to lose patience because of Elysia's abnormality.
Elysia finally appeared in front of her.
In the pavilion on the high ground of the city, where you could see the maze garden at a glance, Elysia seemed like a bride waiting for her husband to come.
"Is Kevin's matter resolved?"
"Yeah, I finally managed to coax him. Now it's just you and me, or did you meet other girls inside the Elysium Everlasting and have your hearts stolen by them?"
"Of course not, it's just that after discovering other Flamechasers entering this place for the first time, I felt a bit surprised. Walking in the Elysium Everlasting is like walking in your memories, right?"
"Is it? Revealing everything without reservation, even I would feel shy~ So let's take it slow, don't rush, and I think you've also noticed, haven't you? My attitude towards you is also very special."
So special that even Mei has not enjoyed such treatment.
"Just to clarify, I'm not a Herrscher, really not. I'm not sure what Honkai is, although I have some special abilities, I'm really not a Herrscher."
"I know~"
"Then I don't understand, what's so special about me? I'm just a hacker, a hacker who likes making games and adventures, nothing more."
"Mhmm, I know that too~"
Elysia still smiled, but Bronie felt something was off.
Thinking about it carefully?
Apart from Transmigrating and being Reincarnators, there's nothing else.
She doesn't have a system, nor does she have an old man with her.
"So... this Elysium Everlasting is probably meant for Herrschers who may come later, right?"
"Well, at the beginning, when I lived in the orphanage, I also felt that I was just an ordinary little girl who couldn't be more ordinary. Although I was pursuing all the beauty, living with family and friends, imagining a beautiful future together, observing the little things around me, I never thought about what was special about me."
Bronie knows this.
"Judging by your expression, you seem to know this too, so then you must also know what happened later, right?"
"The Fire Moth."
"Yes, they came here, investigating something, and I followed along, vaguely sensing that it seemed to be related to me, so I left the town and traveled around the world."
"It's very impressive, doing it alone as a child."
"But it was also a difficult time, but there were also many interesting things happening! I remember them all very well!"
"Really impressive."
"Right! Does it feel very familiar?"
When Elysia asked like this, Bronie widened her eyes as she remembered.
Ah.
She has never seen her family since she was born.
God knows how she survived, only knowing that during that confused time, survival was the priority, and everything else didn't matter as long as she could eat.
But later, she met the adoption of the Fu Hua.
The adoption of Natasha.
And the help of her fellow disciples, namely the help of her sister Theresa.
To be honest, that kind of life was quite exciting.
"My birth is a miracle in this world, a gift left by Honkai, so Bronie, who possesses such special abilities, is also a treasure left by that world, this I can be sure of."
"So?"
"Vill-V also found out that there is something similar to a Herrscher's core on your body, but it's different. It's like a world compressed inside it, just like me~"
"Am I a Herrscher?"
"No, you may not be a Herrscher, but you are definitely a miracle. When a shooting star passes by, I never miss the chance to make a wish, so how could I miss you, who was born from the same miracle as me? Remember the meaning of my ego, and understand my life. This is the most important meaning for me after the establishment of the Elysium Everlasting."

Elysia's words indeed surprised Bronie a bit.
But upon careful consideration, her abilities were so extraordinary that it did seem a bit unreasonable.
Just following the principle of energy conservation, projecting something and the energy and effort she normally expended didn't seem to correlate proportionally.
When Elysia pointed out all of this, Bronie realized what it meant to be blindsided.
The shock brought by such information to Bronie was immense.
For a moment, Bronie couldn't even find the words to speak, then she looked towards the nearby sea.
"It seems there's another reason to force you to leave the Elysian Realm, isn't there?"
"Why would you think that?"
Elysia knew Bronie was still in shock, but she didn't expect Bronie to say such words amidst her shock.
"After all, you told me that I'm a miracle in the Sea of Quanta, or something like that. I don't really feel it at all. Rather, I'm more interested in what exactly the core inside me is. If we want to study this kind of thing, both Mobius and Vill-V are indispensable, right? Leaving the Elysian Realm and establishing a research institute is the only way to continue the research, and now I can only wait."
Bronie's words weren't wrong. Even if she knew this information, what could she do about it? Could she undergo a transformation like a Herrscher? Right now, she couldn't do anything. What was the use of knowing all this?
"Really, I prepared this surprise, and you're so unenthusiastic. It seems I'll have to teach you how to become a qualified and lovely girl~"
"I don't think it's necessary... What are you doing! Don't come any closer!!"
Elysia spread her arms wide and pounced, embracing Bronie tightly. Struggling as she might, Bronie couldn't escape Elysia's embrace.
Who knows why there's a commercial street in the Elysian Realm, who knows why there are so many clothing stores on the commercial street.
For Bronie, the actions that followed were simply an endless torment.
The backless white dress felt chilly. The strange fishnet stockings, paired with hot pants and a small vest, made it feel like she was wearing clothes and yet nothing at all.
Closing her eyes in the beauty salon and feeling Elysia fiddling with her face, Bronie walked out of the salon when her face was almost numb.
The number of drills on her head increased from two to four.
Is this Elysia's memory?
After experiencing it for real, Bronie didn't even have much time to tell Elysia about her plans.
Seeing that Bronie was indeed a bit tired, Elysia dragged her to a dessert shop.
"To be honest, I've never experienced such suffering in all my life. The life of a real girl is so terrifying. I prefer efficiency over beauty."
"But aren't you even a little moved? Seeing yourself in the mirror that is completely different from before."
"Cough cough..."
Bronie was a little guilty. To be honest, Bronie knew she was good-looking, but she never expected to reach this level.
Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, her entire demeanor was different, like a little princess from somewhere. It was quite novel.
"Hehe~ It seems you're quite moved too~ How does it feel to see everything in my memory?"
"It's amazing."
"I should say, 'Beautiful and enchanting Elysia is my moonlight, I will always love Elysia~'"
"Beautiful and enchanting Elysia is my moonlight, I will always love Elysia."
"Oh dear! That's so cheating~ But I love everyone too~"
Well, this response like a Harem king wasn't unexpected to Bronie.
"As my game company grows outside, once the Elden Ring is completed, I'll have the capital to access Schicksal. The Archbishop of Schicksal have the Divine Key - Void Archives. My plan now is to get a backdoor from Vill-V, then package all the technology of the Schicksal from the hands of the Void Archives, and then come back to discuss the possibility of everyone leaving the Elysian Realm."
"It seems like a simple plan."
Elysia heard Bronie's plan and could solve it with just two sentences, but as Bronie said before, Schicksal is the organization that inherits the legacy of the previous civilization specifically to deal with the Honkai.
Similar to the Fire Moth, but even more powerful.
But for an organization like this, does this sneaky grabbing of information seem a bit disrespectful and careless?
The more precise the plan, the easier it is to go wrong.
"The general direction is fine, but the details can only be planned on the eve of action. But rest assured, my plans as Bronie have never failed. I've been wanting to burn down Arc City since I was five! Later on, in a sense, it can be considered a success, right?"
"Then I have to listen to your story carefully!"
Elysia didn't regard Bronie as some unforgivable person because the information she knew was too one-sided, so she wanted to understand more. The story of the Cyber Arc City couldn't be summed up in just a few words, but Bronie patiently recounted it in full.
Then, they moved on to the mesmerizing world within the Sea of Quanta.
Within the Sea of Quanta, there existed more than one faction, and their stories combined couldn't help but make Bronie think of a vast cosmic epic.
Unfortunately, Bronie didn't actually know much, and could only narrate what she saw from her own perspective.
"The Sea of Quanta is truly a miraculous place, with countless Bubble Worlds, people from parallel worlds, and the girl wielding the power of thunder, who look exactly like Dr. Mei. I really want to see each other~"
Unconsciously, the Elysian Realm had already entered the night, and Bronie felt a bit tired.
But spending time like this was truly joyful for her. But good times always come to an end, don't they?
"If you could leave the Elysian Realm, after the Honkai is resolved, I'll take you to explore the starry sea, to see that vast and magnificent universe, and civilizations facing crisis due to certain things."
"Crisis due to certain things?"
"Yes, it's possible for a disaster source called a Stellaron to be born within a planet's core. Although there are also Stellaron Hunters, I've heard that organization only hunts Stellarons for profit? I'm not very clear, just hearsay."
"Okay~ Exploring the starry sea sounds so romantic! I'm really looking forward to it! If there are indeed many civilizations trapped on their planets due to those things, constantly experiencing tragic cycles, then I won't just stand by." Elysia was like this, after getting to know more people, she would also strive to make the people around her live better lives.
She loved everyone.
And she kept fighting for it.
The existence of the Elysian Realm was to completely showcase her life to the successors, to let them fully understand the life of the girl named Elysia, and to clarify what the true self is.
Wandering around the Elysian Realm with Bronie for a long time, under Elysia's guidance, Bronie seemed to let go of many of her guards in her heart.
This was a good thing.
Usually, Bronie displayed a tight security, but this date didn't seem to excite Bronie easily.
What's more important is that after telling Bronie about her identity, Bronie calmly accepted it all, and even expressed her intention to study this identity further in the future.
And even better, to use this power to bring smiles to those around her.
Knowing oneself, clarifying goals, this is also the meaning of an ego's existence.
Seeing that her Elysian Realm was really useful, Elysia couldn't be happier.
It's just a pity that the surprise wasn't enough. If she revealed her identity as the Herrscher of Origin, gradually showing all her memories to Bronie, inheriting the meaning called Origin, leaving a more impressive memory, that would be perfect for Elysia.
It's just a pity that Bronie seems to know too much.
Perhaps it's because of other Bubble Worlds?
After all, Bronie said that some Bubble Worlds are shadows of possible futures of another world, although such Bubble Worlds dissipate quickly, the information left behind is highly similar.
"If you're willing to come out, that would be great, but what makes me feel more distressed is still Hua, because no matter what effort I make, after she deletes her memories, all my efforts will be in vain."
"No! Because of your game, Hua didn't completely forget you, did she? As long as you work hard, there will definitely be results. Hua just doesn't know how to adapt, but your sincerity will definitely move her. Believe in yourself!"
"That's good."
Elysia's words were not wrong. At least for Bronie's game, "Getting Over It With Haxxor Bunny" also had an option to leave Hua's deleted memories.
"It's almost time to rest. My body is still growing. If I don't grow taller in the future, I'll jump up and break people's legs."
"Why do you hold grudges against people's legs so much~"
"Fear is often the best way to promote one's reputation, but dead people can't scream loudly, so I use breaking legs as a way. This way, Haxxor's reputation spreads, I can get more orders, money isn't everything, but without money, nothing is possible."
"Well, it seems that our mafia princess's habits can't be changed, but as you grow up and become a more adorable and charming beauty, it seems that you don't reject this idea as much, right?"
"It's just a trivial persistence of mine. But the past is the past because everything is settled, unchangeable. So facing the future, changing the present, is also a good thing. But... I'm really not used to wearing too little clothes."
"Actually, I don't like it much either, but who made my figure so good~ Showing my best side, although I'm bit shy in these clothes, everything is worth it."
"I see, wear a little more, I love seeing it."
"Then you have to look forward to it. This is the last item, a roller coaster that surrounds the entire Elysian Realm, and there's a special program at night!"
The special program Elysia mentioned was actually a huge fireworks show, with the roller coaster weaving through the buildings, fireworks bursting around, in this romantic atmosphere, Bronie wished she could stay in this moment forever.
After leaving the roller coaster, Bronie felt a bit reluctant.
But noticing Bronie's reluctance, Elysia said,
"Alright! Aren't you tired? There are resting places in the Elysian Realm too. Come, let me take you to the hotel, rest well, and see you tomorrow~"
Following Elysia to the end of the road, the door of an empty hotel was open, anyone could stay inside, it looked like the hotel Elysia had stayed in when she used to work.
Tomorrow they could meet again.
But the roller coaster, probably only had one chance. Although a bit reluctant, more joy filled Bronie's heart. "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Saying goodbye to Elysia, Bronie randomly found a room, and with a tired body, lay directly on the bed.
Her mind began to wander uncontrollably. Her identity, her abilities.
Elysia's smile, and the details of her past she narrated to herself.
Their relationship, was it becoming more intimate? Probably yes?
Bronie wasn't a researcher, so even if Elysia said she noticed something special about her, without further research, Bronie couldn't feel anything special. At most, she could just exercise well and try to increase her proficiency with the mysterious power in her hands.
But after this date. Elysia enthusiastically recommended various cute and beautiful clothes, as well as various dressing techniques that only girls needed to master.
This long-dormant girlish heart hidden in her heart was gradually awakening.
Once she accepted the feminine side in her heart, would she become invincible? No no no!
She was just facing the future, making appropriate changes. It's meaningless to dwell on past gender issues.
Could it affect her ability to pick up girls?
Absolutely not.
If she could see a cute and charming her in the mirror every day, with a good mood facing the new day, things would be more efficient, right?
Bronie always emphasized efficiency, and perhaps the lifestyle taught by Elysia was indeed a good choice.
Inside the Elysian Realm, while Bronie followed her biological clock into the night, memory replicas didn't necessarily choose to rest.
Elysia opened up her memory space for everyone, and after coaxing Bronie to sleep, Eden and Elysia naturally began to revel in it.
Each of the Flamechasers each had their own way of life, and with more of such spaces in the Elysian Realm, everyone silently explored this world, trying to understand Elysia's inner thoughts more.
In her dream, Bronie dreamed of being close to Elysia, then with Aponia, and then with Eden.
Of course, she also dreamed of her grown-up self, with a figure even fuller than Silver Wing N-EX.
"Why do I feel like I can't see my feet in my dream? Why would I have such a dream?"
