Afterward, Miss VTuber played several more recordings, one after another.
Clearly, these were heavyweight figures from the future.
They shared their sharp critiques of Elysia.
What they said were their genuine opinions of her.
The higher-ups, the strategists, and even those with keen interest took note of it all—even the names of those speakers were carefully recorded.
Aside from familiar names like Mobius and Eden from earlier, others like Himeko, Hua, Su, and so on were also clearly mentioned...
Yes.
Regardless of whether they knew them or not—or what they did—since their names had been dropped, the search was on.
Although many historians might not strictly adhere to the "great man" theory of history, if these names could still be remembered and remain relevant tens of thousands of years later, they certainly weren't ordinary figures.
Better to recruit them first and ask questions later!
At the very least, they had to be found, and their recent situations assessed. Right?
At first, there might have been worries about whether these people even existed in this era. But since they were connected to Kiana and Elysia, they definitely already existed in this time.
That made things much easier!
Still, what drew even more attention was the uploader's analysis of Elysia's authority.
After all, with access to different information, the uploader clearly had more channels to learn from, and her analysis led to more precise conclusions.
Of course, everyone was eager to copy the answers!
A natural-born Herrscher?
As people turned their thoughts to Elysia, their minds wandered in different directions.
[As we can see!]
[Among those closely connected to Lady Elysia, some knew about this, some genuinely had no idea, and others were simply being cryptic and didn't want to talk. But we can still read between the lines.]
[…]
The projection continued.
The uploader kept explaining.
[The titles given to each Herrscher are not arbitrarily assigned.]
[Broadly speaking, the great Lady Finality is powerful and terrifying, capable of bringing about the end of all things. Hence, she is the Herrscher of Finality.]
[And Lady Elysia? The Herrscher of Origin!]
[Origin, origin—the beginning of all things…]
[Could she simply be equated to the origin of everything?]
[If she embodies such a concept of origin, then it's only natural for humans to feel deeply attached to her, much like any creature's innate affinity for their own roots and beginnings.]
[But what if she not only symbolizes origin but can also influence other things from that initial point, manipulating the threads that extend from it? Could it mean she has the power to rewrite fate?]
[…]
[From this perspective, perhaps many things can be explained.]
[Just think about it.]
[Things frozen by her crystals are suspended in time. But what if she's modifying the very fabric of reality from the initial node, assigning the property of immobility from the very beginning?]
[Wouldn't that achieve the same effect?]
[…]
Mind-blowing.
Wasn't this basically administrator privileges?
And it wasn't just simple coding or parameter adjustments.
This was interference from the most fundamental level—the initial point, the very source, the underlying code.
Maybe it wasn't as overwhelmingly powerful as the Herrscher of Finality.
But the precision of this control was even more terrifying to contemplate.
Just imagine—if she wanted to make you female, couldn't she just modify it from the moment you were born, or even before, ensuring you were female from the very start?
Admittedly, Elysia's authority must have its limits.
Discussing rules without considering scale is just cheating.
But still, this was terrifying!
"Ara~ So… I'm this incredible?" Even Elysia herself was stunned.
Is that really me?
Do I have this kind of power?
How come I didn't know? How strange~
But indeed! This could explain a lot.
Precisely because she was the Origin of all things, to humans, she was like the most intimate of mothers—it was only natural to feel drawn to her.
You could also interpret it as her wanting to be more popular, so she subtly tweaked the default settings, making people irresistibly fond of her.
Of course!
Things like summoning miracles were even easier to explain.
Because Elysia herself was a miracle!
In Kiana's view, Elysia's sacrifice in the original story, her alteration of the Cocoon of Finality, and her gift of humanity to the Herrschers of the new era—all of it was a form of interference at the most fundamental level.
It was a choice of destiny.
And it was also her, plucking the strings of fate, writing into the very origin of Herrscher emergence the hope that they would retain their sense of self.
Of course, the specifics didn't matter anymore.
Once Kiana believed this and revealed it in the projection, Elysia would instinctively consider that it might indeed be true.
And the future worldline would acknowledge this, shifting more in this direction.
Besides, no matter what, this ability wasn't weak at all.
Whatever Elysia's true authority might be, if she developed it in this direction, it would still be remarkable.
In fact, many people were left unnerved upon deeper reflection.
But there were also many who didn't fully understand.
Still, those around them would explain, and eventually, some would grasp it.
Suddenly, everything clicked, and their amazement only grew.
Miss VTuber had made her case, reasoning thoroughly and persuasively.
But here, she was just about wrapping up.
[Alright!]
[That's all for today's brief overview of Lady Elysia.]
[…]
[As more characters emerge or certain events are highlighted, we'll share more fun anecdotes about these heroes in greater detail.]
[Please look forward to this series!]
[…]
She launched into her sign-off spiel, smooth and practiced.
The two-headed chibi avatar was utterly adorable, bringing a smile to everyone's faces.
[Same as always.]
[If we hit a million likes, I'll drop the next episode.]
[…]
[So, who's up next?]
[That's right—it's our dear Granny Mobius.]
[In the next video, I'll show you a different side of Granny Mobius.]
[See you next time, dear viewers~]
[…]
The screen faded to black.
The sky canvas gradually dissipated.
Night returned where it was night, revealing a starry, deep expanse.
Whether it was morning or noon, life soon resumed its busy pace after a brief silence—everyone digesting the information and carrying on with their tasks.
Conversation topics were, of course, inevitable.
But for some, it remained just that—talk.
Still, compared to last time, many more were spurred into action, and undercurrents began stirring in various quarters.
