Seduction?
She was clearly hunting! Right?
In the Elysian Realm, Stigma awakeners were common, but Herrschers were not. This was the only case in fifty-five thousand years.
As an outstanding figure in the field of life sciences, Mobius of course couldn't restrain her impulse. She just wanted to tie this guy to her operating table and squeeze out every last drop of essence and value from his body.
But!
"Little… little boy, don't you think it's very impolite to treat a lady you've just met so crudely?"
The initial excitement faded, and Mobius, having failed to abduct the little cutie, finally began to properly assess her opponent.
This boy was no small fry. At the very least, the Key of Corruption, Jizo Mitama, in his hands was a big baby that even she would have trouble dealing with.
If things went wrong, she'd be pierced by the sharp sword deep into her soul.
Plus, boys of this age tend to be rather impulsive. What awaited her was probably not a fatal end, but an even more muddled and terrible outcome.
Feeling the fiery temperature from the young man Brian, the mistress of the Elysian Realm suddenly felt a bit cowardly.
But…
"Dr. Mobius, do you think it's very polite to lure an innocent little white rabbit like me on our first meeting?"
The Inner World Protagonist smiled, leaving the enchanting girl at a loss for words.
Mobius looked down at the point where they were in zero-distance contact, her eyes wavering.
Little white rabbit? Innocent?
If you're really an innocent little white rabbit, then she'd admit to being the Elysian Realm's number one seductive snake!
"Hmph, you call yourself a little white rabbit?"
Mobius pushed hard, increasing the social distance between them.
This handsome young man's temper was a bit too fiery. Even her body, accustomed to cold temperatures, couldn't quite take it.
Plus, with the Key of Corruption in his hand, one misstep and she'd be the one getting her ass handed to her.
The enchanting girl's demeanor became a bit more distant, and Mobius's face showed some disinterest.
"Speak. Why have you brought the Key of Corruption to my Elysian Realm?"
Key of Corruption, an unwelcome guest, a Herrscher at the door…
Mobius had no doubt that this guy alone could turn the Elysian Realm upside down, causing them, the ghosts of a bygone era, to lose their only remaining sanctuary.
Although she didn't particularly cherish her own life and could swap out her organs like parts, it was better to avoid it if possible.
Brian: "It's nothing. I'm just fulfilling a promise I made to a girl."
A promise?
To whom?
As he spoke, the unsharpened blade of the Divine Key hummed softly, awakening the will that resided within.
An ominous black power invaded the Elysian Realm's system, creating a memory body identical to Mobius beside him.
"It's you!"
Mobius's expression was one of astonishment.
This pink-haired brat was none other than the one who had delivered the final blow to that era fifty-five thousand years ago!
At this moment, Rin's closed eyes had just begun to flutter, awakening the Herrscher girl who had spent most of her time sleeping inside the Divine Key.
"Haaah~~"
A long stretch.
Followed by disgust: "What do you want me to help you with now?"
"Eek—!"
Uncertainty.
Finally, filled with joy.
Elysian Realm, your emperor has returned!
The sakura-pink-haired petite girl lifted her head, quickly assessing her surroundings, her gaze finally landing on the enchanting girl before her. "It's you, Mobius."
"Brat, you're as rude as ever."
The surprise on Mobius's face faded.
Although seeing this old acquaintance from fifty thousand years ago surprised her, it made sense when she considered the unique existence of the Herrscher of Corruption.
A completely Imaginary life form, similar to data and viruses.
A Herrscher of this form could survive for another few fifty-thousand-year periods, let alone a mere fifty thousand years.
Even if her power was taken by the Divine Key, she was still the owner of the Imaginary Singularity, which didn't change her essence as a Herrscher.
But for this girl to find her way to the Elysian Realm…
"You're here for your sister, aren't you? Still a child who hasn't been weaned."
This woman was not only black-hearted, but her mouth also spewed venom. She was truly unlikable.
Rin didn't retort, but instead tugged on the corner of the man's clothes beside her. "What do you think of this woman?"
"Hot or not? Want her or not?"
The girl raised her delicate eyebrows, her expression as she unabashedly sized up Mobius was like that of an extremely lecherous old man.
Well, she couldn't be blamed. Fifty-five thousand years ago, when a Herrscher reaction was first detected in her, this woman had wanted to be the first to send her to the laboratory.
Plus, this woman and her own sister didn't get along very well, so setting her up came with absolutely no psychological burden.
Besides.
She had just briefly browsed the Elysian Realm's records and found ironclad evidence of this woman seducing this man.
Since she was so eager to seduce this Inner World Protagonist, wouldn't she be helping others in the spirit of the Far East by giving her a hand?
She's a good Herrscher.Jpg.
"What do you think?"
The young man Brian raised an eyebrow, and Rin understood immediately.
Everything was understood without words. The two shared a knowing smile, reaching a Herrscher consensus.
Only Mobius felt a wave of nausea, as if something unspeakable was spying on her.
"What are you two discussing? Don't tell me you have designs on my Elysian Realm?"
The girl's voice was stern but lacked conviction, sounding more like a sheep bleating than a warning.
In the face of the Jizo Mitama, even a scholar like her, who had conducted in-depth research on the Herrscher of Corruption, would find it difficult to put up an effective resistance.
"It's nothing. We were just discussing something you're not privy to."
The black-haired youth's expression was calm, which made Mobius's mind run wild with possibilities she didn't dare to entertain.
Precious research material was within her grasp, yet she couldn't do whatever she wanted to him. For a scientist like her, it was truly tormenting.
"Hmph! Do as you please. Just don't cause any destruction on my turf."
Mobius looked at Rin. "If this place is destroyed, your sister won't have a good end either."
"I know, I know."
The great Herrscher of Corruption was unconcerned. "You're as annoying as ever."
With that, Rin headed towards the entrance of the deep sequence.
Since this lewd Inner World Protagonist had fulfilled his promise and really brought her to the Elysian Realm, she couldn't let him down.
Besides, this seductive snake and this scumbag were so alike, she wouldn't be a third wheel.
The doors opened and closed, swallowing the girl's figure, leaving the two of them and one doll staring at each other.
In this private environment, Mobius once again had the thought of luring the Herrscher to her lab for a visit.
But considering that crude, fiery feeling from before…
"Herrscher, I'll say it again. You are not welcome in the Elysian Realm, and we hope even less that you will wreak havoc here."
With that, Mobius swayed her perky hips and took her little assistant in another direction, leaving Brian alone in the main hall of the Elysian Realm to explore by himself.
…
In a corner…
Mobius watched Brian explore the Elysian Realm through a monitoring device, the intense desire in her eyes no longer suppressible.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It was uncertain if the Elysian Realm would survive another fifty thousand years, but there definitely wouldn't be another Herrscher coming to be her research material in the next fifty thousand years.
Whether the humans of this era found a new path, or the Stigma protection they arranged succeeded, Herrschers would no longer exist.
In other words, this was Mobius's last chance to study a Herrscher.
But…
"That Key of Corruption designed by Vill-V is really a troublesome thing."
The Key of Corruption was the natural enemy of the Elysian Realm. Even Mobius didn't want to face the Jizo Mitama's edge directly.
Coupled with this Herrscher's assertive personality…
One misstep, and she might end up meeting him in bed.
But giving up was not an option. Even if she had to tie Elysia, that pink fatso, up with a bow and sell her, she couldn't pass up this hard-won opportunity.
"Klein, think of a way for me."
"…"
The cute doll looked down at its short arms, then sized up its three-head-tall body.
Her, fight a Herrscher?
She would die.
At this moment, the artificial intelligence system provided her with the optimal solution: "Doctor, I have no way either."
"Tch."
…
Elysian Realm…
Beyond the deep sequence lay a desolate wilderness, like ruins after a war.
There were thirteen Flame-Chasers and one administrator in the Elysian Realm, but the relationships among these fourteen were not close; in fact, there were even grudges between them.
Thus, the data in the Elysian Realm inherited these relationships, existing in thirteen data partitions that had almost no contact with each other.
"One for each, no one can escape…"
What was a difficult problem for other visitors was no problem at all for the great Herrscher of Corruption. The entire Elysian Realm was her backyard.
Brother Kalpas is great, but now is not the time for reminiscing.
Elysia is fat; I'll go mess with her scales later.
Look at this, touch that.
The girl finally found the target she was looking for and launched a forceful invasion.
After entering this long-dreamed-of data domain, Rin suddenly found herself on a small path paved with bluestone slabs.
A few cherry blossom petals drifted down from the cherry blossom forests on either side, landing on her head and adding a touch of aesthetic beauty.
Rin looked towards the end of the path and could see a solemn shrine situated there, filling one with a sense of nostalgia.
Compared to the shabby Yae Shrine, this shrine was grand and solemn.
It was her home.
It was also the place Sakura looked forward to and missed.
"Big sister is as nostalgic as ever."
The cherry blossom petal on her fingertip floated away, and a sense of nostalgia appeared in the girl's eyes.
In her hazy childhood memories, this shrine was her home. Her father and mother nurtured her as she grew up, while her naive older sister trained hard in swordsmanship under their strict father.
Unexpectedly, the sudden outbreak of the Third Great Eruption destroyed everything, forcing her sister to flee with her alone.
She thought they could settle down after being rescued by Fire Moth, but her sister joined Cocoon to provide her with a better life.
The past is now a memory, and there's no point in talking about it now.
"Phew—!"
Rin took a deep breath, trying to suppress the throbbing in her heart this way.
No matter what her sister had become, she was still the woman who desperately came to save her after learning she had become a Herrscher.
Although that final cut was a bit painful, it was under special circumstances.
Wasn't it?
The slender little feet crushed a few petals. The apprehensive girl walked up the bluestone path.
Passing through the solemn crimson torii, crossing the grand Myojin gate, walking past the thick shimenawa rope…
Rin, who was already extremely familiar with the layout, went deep into the shrine without making any attempt to hide her arrival, her continuous footsteps leading her to the figure with its back to her.
"Since the guest has arrived, why not sit down and have a cup of tea with me?"
Three swords of varying lengths hung at the girl's waist. Her voice was stern yet clear, unhesitatingly expressing the caution and alertness in her heart.
She didn't know where this intruder came from or what they wanted here.
But since it was an intruder, a preemptive strike couldn't be wrong.
Her sister was, as always, filled with that admirable killer's charisma.
However, her little sister was no longer the weakling she had to join Cocoon to protect.
Her heart filled with joy, the girl quickened her pace and, despite Sakura's wariness, sat down opposite her without hesitation.
The sakura-haired, donkey-eared assassin girl was still in a daze, but the great Herrscher of Corruption had already picked up the tea in front of her and started chugging it down.
"Yo, so cold to your own sister who you haven't seen in fifty-five thousand years? You're really a sinful woman."
"…"
Surprise, doubt, wavering, belief, and finally…
Tears of joy.
"Is it really you? Rin!"
"That's right, it's me, big sister. I'm back."
The cold-tempered assassin could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart. She pounced on the girl who appeared before her, pinning her to the tatami mat.
This chest is very flat, not as good as that pink fatso Elysia, only slightly better than that big seductive snake Mobius.
But…
"The smell of home."
The Herrscher girl wrapped her arms around the girl sobbing her heart out in her embrace.
The two girls held each other tightly, venting the emotions that had been pent up for a full fifty-five thousand years.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side…
Fairy-like pointed ears peeked out from pink hair, and the bright pink long hair swayed from side to side with the girl's movements.
The beautiful and cute girl, Elysia, peeked out from the entrance of the deep sequence, then retracted her head in disappointment after getting the information she wanted.
"Oh my, although the boy who came this time is also a very cute type, he's not the beautiful girl I like♪"
Elysia was troubled.
Ever since learning from Eden that Raven was a very cute, mature-acting beautiful girl with an ahoge, she had been looking forward to a wonderful encounter with her.
She hadn't expected that although a new visitor had come to the Elysian Realm, it would be a cute boy.
Although he was a Herrscher, he wasn't her type.
"I'll just leave this cute boy for Mobius to enjoy slowly♪"
Of course, if Mobius could wear the little pink dress she gave her on a date with this cute big boy, Elysia would be very happy too.
As for herself…
A beautiful and cute girl must absolutely not be lewd!
The pink strands of hair swayed with her movements. The devastatingly beautiful girl extinguished her desire to go to the main hall of the Elysian Realm and, with a graceful gait, prepared to return to her own domain.
She, a beautiful girl, also wanted to get together with everyone and bond, but apart from her exceptionally beloved Eden, everyone else seemed uninterested.
Hopefully… this visitor could bring some different colors to the Elysian Realm.
