[The Sixth Herrscher, who descended during the Sixth Honkai Eruption, destroyed all of human civilization and the remaining human survivors, but that did not include you.]
[To be exact, although human civilization was like a candle in the wind after the devastation of the first five Herrschers, the last desperate counterattack before they were wiped out was still fatal. It caused great damage to the Sixth Herrscher. And you seized this opportunity, carrying the will of your comrades, to eliminate the heavily injured Sixth Herrscher.]
[Although you avenged the already extinct human civilization, you had suffered irreparable injuries in your battle with the Sixth Herrscher. With the whole of human civilization already gone, you could only drag your increasingly weak body, wandering around aimlessly and alone.]
[On that burned-out land, in that plaza that had become ruins, you couldn't see any sign of life, nor any cherry blossoms. The beauty of the past had become nothing but a dream.]
[Your body was too exhausted, your mind was on the verge of collapse, but you still managed to drag yourself to the moment that the mastermind behind the Honkai, a being called the Cocoon of Finality, descended upon Earth.]
[Your body was absorbed by it, and you could only watch this all unfold, unable to resist, until your consciousness blurred, and you no longer had a single ounce of strength.]
[In the moment before you disappeared, you seemed to see a blurry figure in the depths of the desolate land again. It was a human being, and they felt familiar, like you had seen them somewhere a long time ago.]
[That blurry figure watched your death, then their mouth moved, as if they were saying...]
["Sociology +3"]
[This time you heard it clearly. You heard it very clearly.]
Suddenly opening her eyes, she exited the simulation.
Elysia dazedly rubbed her plump little face, feeling like everything that had happened was a hallucination, yet it also felt incredibly real.
"That person… feels really familiar…"
Suddenly, Elysia realized that whether the last scene in the simulation was a hallucination or real was irrelevant.
The key point was that, in her previous simulation, the Honkai had clearly stated through the Herrscher that it could also simulate.
The Honkai could also run simulations!
For Elysia and everyone else, this was completely despairing news!
Humanity was originally unable to defeat the Honkai. They had only been able to grasp the possibility of victory because of simulation, a power that must have come from outside this world.
But now, this power from outside the world could not help humanity deny the Honkai, because the Honkai could use it too…
"Knock, knock, knock…"
As Elysia was trying her best to spin her little brain, using her amazing wisdom to figure out how to deal with this situation, there was a knock at the door.
An uninvited guest had arrived.
"Miss Elysia, I am a special envoy from the Fire Moth. I have come at the recommendation of Dr. Mobius to invite you to the Fire Moth."
A Fire Moth worker in a black suit stood at the door, speaking respectfully to Elysia.
He held a Fire Moth invitation in his hand.
This was the first time that Mobius had used her authority as a high-ranking Fire Moth member to intervene in administration and personnel recruitment. It surprised all the other higher-ups of the Fire Moth.
But they didn't stop her.
After all, it was just bringing some people into the Fire Moth. It wasn't a big deal.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. It wasn't going to cause any problems.
"Mobius?"
Raising an eyebrow, Elysia's eyes lit up.
As her lesbian soul started to burn intensely, she quickly realized that Mobius might also be someone who had simulation abilities, like her.
Haha, Elysia was so smart!
Her guess had been right.
There were others besides her who could run simulations!
"Yes, Dr. Mobius has extended an invitation for you to join the Fire Moth."
"Yay~ I accept!~♪"
Under the bewildered gaze of the Fire Moth worker, Elysia packed her belongings with unbelievable speed. After stuffing them all into her suitcase, she turned to the Fire Moth worker, fully prepared.
The whole process took less than five minutes.
"I'm ready~ Let's go now!"
Holding a pink suitcase, Elysia said excitedly.
"Uh, okay… alright."
While boarding the Fire Moth vehicle, and as they were about to head toward the Fire Moth headquarters, Elysia's eyes glanced at the antique-style villa opposite her house.
That was Yuhao's house. She had said hi to Yuhao just that morning.
"I didn't expect to leave so soon~ I've only been in this city for a few days!~♪"
"And I've also stood up Mr. Yuhao... Guess I'll just come back and visit sometime in the future."
Thinking that she had promised to visit Yuhao not too long ago, but now had to break her promise, Elysia couldn't help but scratch her head in embarrassment.
As a traveler who liked to travel everywhere, Elysia knew that breaking a promise you had made was a very hurtful thing to do.
But Elysia did not regret it.
After all, the thing that she was about to do was extremely important, and was not only her own concern but also the concern of all of humanity. If she was successful, she could help everyone.
And if she remembered correctly, in every single simulation, Mr. Yuhao seemed to disappear, like most people, after the start of the Honkai.
The result of this was obvious.
So, what she was going to do was also going to save Mr. Yuhao in essence.
Thinking all of this, Elysia no longer felt guilty.
Brave Elysia, unafraid of difficulties.
Let's go!~♪
"Young people these days, they really don't know how to think before they act. They're always rushing around."
Sitting in an old man's chair on his third-floor balcony, Yuhao held a cup of hot tea, watched as the Fire Moth vehicle carrying Elysia drove further and further away, and couldn't help but say.
"It's so similar... Building an observatory here would be at least a "Sociology +3" level."
"Cough cough, alright, that's just me being an old man again."
"Time for tea, time for tea."
First, they took a vehicle to the airport, then they took a plane directly to the Fire Moth headquarters.
It took two hours total. Elysia arrived at the Fire Moth and was led to a conference room by a receptionist.
Mobius, Kevin, and the others had been waiting for a long time.
As people who had completed their simulations before Elysia, they had arrived at the Fire Moth earlier and had already communicated with each other to some extent.
"Elysia."
Eden called out softly with tenderness in her eyes.
"…Eden?"
Elysia's body froze, her voice sounding a bit hesitant.
"Yes, it's me."
Eden smiled and stretched out a hand to Elysia.
