Chapter 903

【That's true, perhaps... I really told a big lie, the only lie in my life】.

【After all... I am also capable of fear】.

【... I wonder how I performed? How would everyone see me?... Judging from their reactions, the result should be good, right?】.

【Otherwise, there wouldn't be Elysia in the Elysian Realm...】.

【Thank you Mei, being able to see you in this way, I am really so lucky. You brought me... a gift I had always longed for, but dared not hope for】.

……

This was... the words the other party had said on the night before Elysia disappeared.

Looking back and thinking carefully now... Mei finally understood.

"So... Elysia..."

"... She was never the 【Thirteenth Herrscher】, right?"

Eden smiled with relief: "Yes, 【Thirteen】 is a false number."

"She told a 【lie】 to the world, just to tell the 【truth】 to the people she loved at the moment of parting."

"Miss Mei, I am very happy... in the end, you found the 【answer】 yourself."

"This is what you have been seeking all along, the final secret... buried by the Elysian Realm."

"The second of the Moth-Chasers, Elysia of the 【True Self】 inscription, this girl who loved all 【people】 deeply..."

"She was born to be a 【Herrscher】."

……

To think it was like this...

The players understood, but at the same time, more doubts arose.

Why was Elysia's Herrscher armor named 【Herrscher of Human】 in the promotional PV?

Why was the first Herrscher called 【Herrscher of Human】?

What was her Herrscher authority?

Kiana was also full of curiosity about these questions on the barrage.

Just at this moment, Mei walked over holding her Fairy Elysia.

Seeing this, Kiana happily hugged Fairy Elysia from Mei's arms.

"Yay~ cute human, finally found you~"

The highly intelligent Fairy Elysia greeted Kiana.

Kiana had long been accustomed to this situation.

But the audience in the live stream couldn't stay calm.

Although they had known for a long time that Mihoyo had a very intelligent 【Fairy Elysia】.

But they never expected it to be intelligent to this extent.

Could it be... that Fairy Elysia's eyes also had facial recognition? When it captured Kiana, it would automatically trigger this kind of greeting?

……

【Please Mihoyo... sell a batch of Fairy Elysias, wuwuwu...】

【Watching the scene of Kiana and Fairy Elysia cuddling is more painful than killing me, wuwuwu...】

……

Seeing this kind of barrage made Kiana even more proud.

"Heh heh~ this is a unique benefit for us Mihoyo employees~"

"The boss said that the Fairy Elysia doll will absolutely not be mass-produced for sale, give up~"

Such a response naturally brought another wave of wailing barrage.

However, Kiana's words made the Fairy Elysia in her arms unhappy:

"Fairy Elysia is not a doll~"

"I already said, I am a fairy from the Land of Fairy Music~~ I can do magic~"

This adorable, incredibly fluent answer made her look even cuter.

Kiana felt her heart was about to melt.

Moreover, she had just experienced the ending where Fairy Elysia might also disappear in the game, so now she was even more inseparable from Fairy Elysia.

"So cute~~"

After taking a deep breath of Fairy Elysia energy, Kiana sat back in her seat, placed Fairy Elysia on her lap, and gave Fairy Elysia a lap pillow.

Just as she was thinking about continuing to push the plot, Kiana suddenly thought of something and quickly turned to look at Mei.

"By the way Mei, why was Elysia's Herrscher armor named 【Herrscher of Human】?"

"And what was her authority?"

This sudden question caught Mei off guard.

However, when she saw the plot progress in the game, she quickly understood.

After thinking for a moment, Mei decided to spoil a little bit.

Calling it a spoiler, it actually didn't count.

With the plot developing to this stage, it was time for the players to know everything.

"Why it was named 【Herrscher of Human】, you can understand the deep meaning yourself."

"However... everyone should know by now—among the Herrschers of the previous civilization, except for Elysia, the rest had no humanity."

Kiana nodded.

Mei continued to explain: "Then why, among the Herrschers of this civilization, do Herrschers who stand on the side of humanity appear frequently?"

"Look, even the virus-like Herrscher of Corruption has a human side."

Kiana quickly asked: "Why?"

Fairy Elysia chimed in at the right time: "Yeah~ why~?"

Hearing Fairy Elysia's voice, Mei was slightly stunned, then smiled gently.

Fairy Elysia is really too intelligent and too cute.

She is really like a well-behaved and cute daughter; even when she wants to join the conversation, she chooses the perfect moment.

Like this, she not only chats with people normally but also doesn't seem noisy.

"... Because, at the final 【banquet】, Elysia used her own life as the price to sow the seeds of 【humanity】 for the Herrschers of later generations."

"In other words, the Herrscher of Reason, Mei, Kiana, and Senti of this century, they still stand on the side of humanity after becoming Herrschers... Elysia deserves much of the credit."

This point will be mentioned in the later part of the main storyline.

But, it was only mentioned in passing.

If you weren't watching the plot carefully, you might have missed it.

"However, before Elysia died, she didn't know if her ideas would succeed... she also wasn't sure if the Herrschers of later generations could be like her, always standing on the side of humanity."

"This is also the reason why Elysia would appear so happy when she first met Mei."

"It wasn't entirely because Mei was beautiful, more so, it was her identity as a 【Herrscher】 who fought for humanity."

……

After hearing Mei's explanation, the barrage was dead silent.

Kiana was also dumbfounded, her heart deeply touched.

I remember, when she first pushed the Elysian Realm plot, Elysia's frequent "flirting" with Mei... at that time, she was very jealous.

Now that she understood everything, Kiana only felt... I really deserve to die.

At the same time, the "confession" statements the other party had said to Mei on the night before Elysia disappeared surfaced in the players' minds—
