A small green figure lay on the control terminal, tapping away all night until the humming finally ceased, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally... it's over..."
Klein looked at the Elysian Realm server still buzzing in front of her, feeling a bit uneasy about the entire situation.
Since last night, part of the data in Elysian Realm had been problematic.
Klein hadn't noticed these anomalies right away, or rather, these new anomalies were quite common for the ELF.
After all, Elysian Realm had been running for fifty thousand years, with more or less some redundant data piled up, like alarm messages in software that could be ignored while still functioning...
And the relationship between this redundant data and Elysian Realm was like an old computer covered in dust that could still function; the dust had integrated with the motherboard, forming a strange balance. If you cleaned the dust, the computer would break, but if you left it, it could still be used.
After all, the Elysian Realm was based on the technology of Honkai energy.
Although the previous civilization had deeply researched the Honkai energy, in some aspects, it was still a technological black box.
They only understood how to use it...
What Klein could do was to patch up some programs without affecting the operation of Elysian Realm.
Those non-malignant and completely unmanageable problems could only be ignored.
This was also why the ELF felt like they were working endlessly and close to death every day.
Over fifty thousand years, there were not just thousands but tens of thousands of such data points, and they would continue to increase in the foreseeable future. Until one day, either Elysian Realm or Klein would Honkai, and the heavy workload would stop.
The ELF believed that they were more likely to collapse first.
After all, they were buried deep underground, with a layer of Soulium protection outside, and the strength of Elysian Realm itself was considerable...
Moreover, it was said that an ELF had appeared in the world of the New Era as well, but the signal disappeared after a period of time, most likely because there were no relevant maintenance equipment outside, and they crashed directly due to insufficient spare parts.
Klein rubbed her eyes and stared at the screen of the control terminal again.
During her contemplative minutes, the data that had experienced anomalies last night finally stopped causing any trouble for her, staying there peacefully, like obedient sheep.
Carefully considering it, the ELF prepared to rewrite the relevant programs, replace these blocks, and destroy what could be destroyed and throw what couldn't be destroyed into the Elysian Realm isolation zone.
This added a lot of tasks to Klein's already busy schedule, and her dark circles were probably going to expand a bit more...
Just as the ELF was about to press the button, a pink figure appeared at the door of the control room, shouting loudly, "Klein, wait!"
"...Elysia?"
The newcomer was indeed Elysia, panting and wiping the sweat off her forehead—it was obvious that these actions were unnecessary for Miss Pink Elf, as each MANTIS was like a superhuman who could compete with the Herrscher. Given the size of Elysian Realm, even if they ran back and forth dozens of times, or fought countless monsters along the way, it wouldn't make Elysia breathe heavily.
She made these gestures probably just to make Klein understand how urgent her arrival was, of course, there was also some of Elysia's own little quirks.
"Klein, please don't delete these data!"
The Miss Pink Elf clasped her hands together, tilted her head, and made a very apologetic expression. "I can feel that the data inside is very important to me. Can you give me the permission to deal with them?"
"...Of course, Elysia."
In the Elysian Realm, Klein's permissions were actually no different from the memories of the Thirteen Flamechasers.
But she still served as Dr. Moebius's assistant like before, diligently providing support services to the Flamechasers. Klein made a few adjustments and said, "I have adjusted these abnormal data to areas accessible to you. Just follow the guidance of the communicator to reach the target location..."
"Thank you so much, Klein-chan!"
Elysia was overjoyed, bent down and hugged the ELF tightly, and casually rubbed Klein's cheek, causing her to make an indistinct murmur. "The touch is as good as ever! Well, I'll be going now!"
Miss Pink Elf left in a hurry, leaving Klein helpless in the control room to continue working overtime, dealing with the ever-increasing and never-ending tasks.
Elysia hummed a song excitedly.
Of course, she knew where those abnormal data came from—last night, she had experienced an adventure firsthand.
When she disconnected from that strange consciousness space, she found that some of the data had returned to Elysian Realm with her.
"Hmm, go from here, turn left, second teleportation gate..."
Elysia passed through the teleportation gate and arrived on a wide platform.
She looked at the chaotic codes flickering softly on the platform and touched the entangled light spots with her fingertips. The colorful scenes flashed through the Miss Pink Elf's mind—it was the scenery of Nagazora in the consciousness space, where there were many familiar faces, each with a different identity...
Like Kevin, who was busy chasing vendors as a policeman, Pardofelis, who was busy running around to avoid pursuit, Vill-V and Eden, who cooperated to perform dramas, and the good siblings Kosma and Grace, as well as Su, who widened his eyes while eating spicy barbecue, and the Kalpas who was providing extra spicy barbecue...
"Hahaha, Master... Master Chef Kalpas' Barbecue Shop... No, I never thought there would be such a scene..."
Elysia bent over, laughing, and looked forward to meeting a certain girl who had made a promise to visit Elysian Realm.
Luo Lin, you better come quickly!

"...The above is what I have seen and heard, Overseer Otto."
"..."
Even someone as smart and strong-willed as Otto Apocalypse felt his mind go blank for a few minutes after hearing Fu Hua's story.
The Overseer of Schicksal opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but couldn't find the right words to describe his feelings.
Listening to the silence coming from the other end of the communicator, Fu Hua couldn't help but speak up,
"My lord bishop, there is no doubt about Luo Lin's determination to resist the Honkai, and her uniqueness is not only the mysterious heritage from parallel worlds she carries on her body but also her ability to suppress the impulses of the Herrscher... I believe we shouldn't take drastic actions..."
"Alright, my old friend, there's no need to worry so much. I won't do anything to her."
Otto comforted Fu Hua, then continued, "What you've said is indeed quite unbelievable. But I trust you, Fu Hua. However, I need to witness these things personally... Considering the current situation in Nagazora, I permit you to temporarily postpone the infiltration work to Saint Freya Academy and stay there to assist Luo Lin in handling Herrscher-related matters..."
The Overseer of Schicksal paused for a moment before finally saying, "Keep in touch with me in a timely manner, and I will provide you with the necessary support..."
"Yes, Overseer."
The golden-haired man ended the communication, his eyebrows furrowed, tapping the armrest of his chair with his fingers, lost in thought.
