After Fighting against the Herrscher of Ice, Aeon was the only person, or more like the only being lept in lept in Sundown Alley, of all the humans that were still alive. Well, those who are barely alive are either running or running and screaming.
Everything has slowly subsided after the battle.
Though everything or every building is now rubble,in Flames, and caught in Frost from the explosion, the remaining moments of the Herischer of Ice exploded.
Nevertheless, it's been dealt with. Aeon stands and stares at the empty crater, where the Herrscher of Ice used to be after Aeon killed her with his P90. What's left of her is the core of where the Herrscher of Ice left it.
Now that it's over, Aeon looks down at the core and makes a Low mechanical hum coming From his voicebox. Aeon thought that if he takes the core right now, he can possibly create his own divine key, which Aeon can actually do with his Red Archives, which is one of his useful tools that was given to him when he was sent to this World of Honkai, the Red Archines.
The Red Archives object is basically the same as the Void Archives, but with a red cube instead of an orange cube. It has the same Functions, but the Red Archives has a vast amount of knowledge in its database, even down to the smallest details. It can even make a simulation. Well, its simulation is more like a holographic blueprint for Aeon to understand, and making step-by-step instructions is like a personal instruction manual.
or, in more simple terms, it's like the crafting recipe guide in inventory when playing Minecraft in the newest Verston,
Back at Aeon, he continues to stare at the core, wondering if he should bring it or not. His mechanical red eyes keep staring, but he quickly turns around. Gears make clanking sounds as he starts walking away From the core, then continues to walk away until he is Far away from Sundown Alley.
As Aeon leaves, he thinks it's such a waste not to bring the core with him, but alas, he can't and also shouldn't. What he remembers is Yae Sakura, or YAE SAKURA, but he uses the latter. From what Aeon remembers, it will turn into a divine key,which is called,From his knowledge of the game he used to play, he speaks
"Hmmm..I think it's called The Ice Epipyllam? Oh no, Wait..."
Aeon stops in his tracks, mistaking the divine key, and rethinks and tries to remember what the divine key was. Then it clicked in his mind.
Aeon speaks with his low tone again: "Ah yes,the Suspended of the Gate hibernation."
Once Aeon remembers,he is very glad he didn't take the core; if he did, then the remaining heroes of humanity wouldn't be able to live through the Current Era.
Aeon speaks again: "Hmm,yup, going to go, my Job is finished any way."
And With that,he has gone back to the Forest in his secret base...

Two days had passed since the destruction in Sundown Alley. MOTH had dispatched soldiers to scout the rubble of the city. While encountering numerous honkai beasts and zombies, they managed to swiftly deal with the threats and continue their search.
Finally, they reached the site of the Herrscher of Ice's demise, a massive crater containing only the core of the Herrscher. MOTH soldiers found themselves in a state of confusion, wondering who or what possessed the power to defeat a Herrscher.
Another two days went by, and the soldiers returned from their scouting mission in Sundown Alley's aftermath. As they arrived, researchers in the MOTH Laboratory Section began their work. Among the soldiers' findings was a tightly sealed, large container capable of housing a human—an enclosure designed to safely contain the Herrscher of Ice's core. The significance of such precautions was clear; the core held the potential to cause mass destruction, posing a threat to thousands, even millions of lives and entire cities.
Having gathered all available samples, including photographs, and transporting deceased honkai beasts and zombies back to the laboratory, the soldiers returned to their barracks, awaiting further orders.
Within the research facility, scientists focused on various aspects of their studies. Some concentrated on testing honkai beasts and zombies under the guidance of a green-haired, long-haired scientist, while others delved into exploring the capabilities of the Herrscher of Ice's core. Meanwhile, the majority scrutinized the photographs provided by the soldiers during their investigation, engaging in lively discussions and formulating theories about the observed phenomena.
A male researcher inquired among his fellow colleagues, "What are your thoughts?"
Deep in contemplation, the group members pondered. Eventually, one researcher voiced a suggestion, "Take a look at this image; it appears as though the Herrscher was engaged in a battle."
Another researcher scoffed, expressing disbelief, "That's preposterous! Who would dare fight a Herrscher alone?"
"No, she might be onto something. Observe the ice pillars struck into the ground by the Herrscher; it seems they were targeting a specific area like aiming someone."
"You're right! Look here, we can see tire tracks, possibly left by a motorcycle."
"That's absurd and utterly ridiculous. Wait a moment..."
"You see it too, don't you?"
"Yes, I see it too!"
Similar discussions unfolded among multiple groups, each dissecting the photos. However, they remained incomplete in their analysis. They longed to study the location itself, but Sundown Alley remained heavily contaminated by honkai radiation. The brief visits of the MOTH soldiers for sampling and photography yielded no viable solutions, rendering their efforts futile.
One thing was certain: someone audacious enough had dared to confront and even slay a Herrscher alone. Speculations arose, as some believed it was a human responsible for the feat.
Meanwhile, amidst the bustling scientific research, a distinguished figure emerged. Dr. MEI, renowned for her purple hair, stylish glasses, and impeccable fashion sense, commanded attention. Her long, lustrous hair cascaded down, accentuating her appearance. Draped in a lengthy tab coat secured by a belt-like accessory positioned across her chest, she donned a grey and white striped t-shirt with a collar, paired with a snug, high-waisted short skirt adorned with multiple belts purely for aesthetics. Completing her ensemble was a loosely worn black tie.
Dr. MEI, known as the infamous genius and quite possibly the number one prodigy of her generation, had already achieved numerous breakthroughs at a young age. Presently, she held the esteemed position of Head Scientist in the Science Department, overseeing research endeavors within her domain.
Engrossed in her work, Dr. MEI diligently analyzed the Herrscher of Ice's core, meticulously recording her findings on research papers. Amidst her calculations, she caught wind of the commotion among the researchers, prompting a quizzical yet intrigued expression to grace her features.
Curiosity piqued, she muttered to herself, "What could be happening over there?"
In close proximity stood another woman, possessing striking green hair and donning a lab coat. Exuding an air of maturity and beauty, she bore an undeniable air of danger. Dr. Mei, while formidable in her own right, recognized the significance of her counterpart's prowess.
As Dr. MEI pondered the situation, the members of MOBIUS monitoring the facility tuned into her mutterings, redirecting their attention towards the majority of researchers gathered nearby.
However, MOBIUS swiftly resumed their group research within the Biology Science Department, leaving Dr. MEI to ponder the situation on her own. She eagerly sought answers to her query, saying, "They are arguing about someone who supposedly killed the Herrscher alone, which I found rather intriguing. However, the photos and samples brought by the scouts have yielded no significant findings," MOBIUS responded, shedding light on the ongoing debate.
Dr. MEI arched an eyebrow and halted her writing, "Killing the Herrscher of Ice alone?", placing her papers aside. Curiosity piqued, she turned on her heel and made her way towards the large group of researchers. As she approached, the researchers paused in their discussions, affording her their attention, while others continued their activities, engrossed in theorizing and writing.
"Can you show me the images?" Dr. MEI inquired of one of the researchers, who nodded and promptly handed her a tablet, saying, "Here you go, Doctor."
Dr. MEI accepted the tablet, scanning through the images and humming to herself, "Hmmm..."
Addressing another researcher, Dr. MEI questioned, "Who undertook this operation while the Herrscher of Ice was still alive?"
"I believe the Military Department possesses more information regarding that," came the researcher's response.
Dr. MEI sighed. "Of course," she muttered. Turning away, she walked off, still holding the tablet and engrossed in her examination. "Hmmm, tire tracks..."
Observing Dr. MEI's departure, Dr. MOBIUS glanced at her and smirked. "Oh? Are you intrigued by such mere mysteries as well?" she chuckled, her breath carrying a chilling air.
Dr. MEI sighed once more, retorting, "Certainly not. I am not interested in fairy tales. I am merely... curious, that's all. Carry on with the Herrscher core as usual. I will attend to this matter."
Dr. MEI continued walking, scrolling through the tablet until she reached the door of her office. Balancing the tablet in her hand, she opened the door, entered, and closed it with a soft thud.
Within her spacious office, her high heels resounded against the metallic floor as she slowly settled into her chair. Resting her arms and the tablet on the desk, she returned her gaze to the device, scrolling and humming to herself. Simultaneously, she operated her holographic computer, typing away with her free hand on the holographic screen. Once finished, she turned her attention to the holographic screen and pressed the dial button.
The call continued to ring for a duration of 10 seconds until someone finally answered on the other side. A soldier's voice came through, saying, "Yes, Dr. MEI?"
Dr. MEI momentarily glanced back at the images on the tablet before refocusing her attention on the holographic screen. She spoke, "I'm seeking information about the individual who underwent an operation in Sunset Alley."
There was a brief pause before the soldier on the other end of the line responded with a small hum, acknowledging her request. "Yes, ma'am."
The call swiftly came to an end.
Meanwhile, in a forest on a mountain, located far away from the MOTH base, lies Aeon Nihiliaus' personal stronghold. Inside his base, Aeon is engaged in some farming activities. With a disproportionately large rake, he tills the soil and tends to the fields. And where does he plant his crops? Inside his base, of course—cotton and flax, to be precise.
Aeon's base takes the shape of a baton, featuring a large circular structure composed of five interconnected smaller circles. All five spheres, or rather domes, are connected to the central larger dome.
But does Aeon have security protocols and systems in place? The answer is yes. The turrets surrounding the domes resemble feathers, echoing the batminton design of the base, an enigmatic concept that piques one's curiosity.
Among the smaller domes is a greenhouse or farming area—a vast space at least twice the size of a football field. Each of the five smaller domes consists of three floors, offering ample room for various activities and storage.
After completing the planting process, Aeon takes a satisfied sigh, appreciating a job well done. He remarks, "It's ain't much, but it's honest work," despite the fact that he single-handedly built an entire base with a greenhouse dome, a farmhouse dome, a mining dome, a weapons dome, a laboratory dome, and even a comprehensive library dome, all nestled within the forest.
After finishing his work on the farm, Aeon gradually retracts his gears and screws inside his large mechanical golden legs, resulting in subtle cranking noises that extend down to his toes. He gears up his metal tires and begins skating across the farm, heading towards the metal door. The door opens automatically, allowing him to glide through the hallway at an increased speed.
Eventually, Aeon arrives at the main dome of his base, the largest and central area. He surveys the space filled with plans and notes displayed on his holographic screen. On the other side, he notices a collection of sewing materials piled up like a mini mountain, but why have so many that they almost piled up like a mini mountain? For Elysia, of course.
Coming to a stop, Aeon walks over to his oversized desk and takes a seat on his massive chair. He lightly taps his desk twice with his mechanical golden fingers, activating the holographic screen. He proceeds to type and program, updating the security systems. With a final tap on the enter key, he nods in satisfaction, content with another task accomplished.
Suddenly, a doorbell rings, placed in front of the base's entrance, and Aeon chuckles knowingly. He presses a button, bringing up a hologram displaying one of the camera's viewpoints. Aeon's gaze falls upon Elysia's face, her eyes wide with excitement and a wide smile plastered on her face. She waves both arms in the air and greets him cheerfully.
"Hi, Uncle Aeon! It's me!" Elysia exclaims with enthusiasm.
Aeon chuckles, shaking his head in amusement, and sighs with a sense of happiness. He emits a low mechanical hum from his voice box and presses another button to open the door. Elysia dashes inside the halls of the main dome, her movements swift and graceful. As she takes in the vast expanse of Aeon's base, she notices its massive everyday objects.
"It's like the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, just thinking about it," Aeon reflects in thought, chuckling softly as he stands up.
Despite not possessing facial features, Aeon's cold metal face radiates a feeling of happiness or calm expression.
Aeon addresses Elysia, saying, "Ah, my Elysia! Would you like to eat something? How about carrot soup? Or perhaps something different?"
Elysia's smile widens, and she swiftly hops over to the dining room, plopping down on a chair with her arms on the table. A hint of drool appears at the corner of her mouth as she quivers with excitement while Uncle Aeon prepares the meal.
Speaking rapidly but still understandable, Elysia exclaims, "Uncle Aeon! Anything! Your dishes always taste so good!"
Aeon nods and responds, "Fried chicken, pancakes, mushroom soup, and calamari it is, then." He retrieves a yellow apron with golden glitter and a matching chef hat, both adorned with gold. Aeon heads to the kitchen and starts cooking.
Three hours later...
Elysia finishes her last plate, her belly full. She places the empty plate down slowly and covers her mouth with her hand. Letting out an adorable burp accompanied by a "puff" sound, she closes her eyes and blushes slightly. Leaning back in her chair, she sighs contentedly.
"Aaaah, Uncle, your dishes are always so good for no reason," Elysia remarks. "I don't want to gain weight, but I think I look cute when I'm chubby, right, Uncle?"
As Aeon thought of a response, he replied but on his mind, "Ask your simps perhaps they would even like it if you were a bit thicker." His expression remained unwavering, concealing his true thoughts.
Elysia took a time to unwind before she jerked back into focus. "Right, Uncle, about Kalpas and Aponia?" she questioned, looking up at her golden robot uncle.
"Yes, KalpASS and Aponia. Did you scout them for MOTH as I instructed?" Aeon said after receiving a nod.
When Aeon referred to Kalpas as KalpASS, Elysia fought the urge to smile awkwardly and sweat beads started to form on her brow. She jotted it down in her head to talk about it with him later. She returned her concentration to Aeon and said, "Yes, I did. Both of them show potential, with Kalpas being able to hold his own against Yae Sakura for a while until you intervene, as per your request."
Aeon nodded again, saying, "That's right. If I hadn't intervened, well, she would have 'cleaned' things up."
In his mind, Aeon thought, "Well, the other reason is because of Aponia's attempts to help the children. She unintentionally caused more problems, and the reason the Herrscher was born is due to the high levels of honkai in her shelter, which houses honkai-infected children and a few adults as well."
Aeon continued, "We don't want the children to die, do we?"
Elysia smiled and playfully giggled, saying, "Wow, Uncle, you know everything! Hehe."
Aeon shook his head and chuckled. "No, no, it's just information that could be helpful to MOTH, that's all."
"Hmm? Helping MOTH? Uncle, if you wanted to help me and humanity, you could have just asked me! Hehe. I can vouch for you, Uncle, and try to negotiate with the higher-ups. Trust me, I've got good connections!" Elysia said with a playful wink and a faint giggle.
Aeon slumped over his desk, his mechanical golden hand supporting his head while he shook his head and groaned. "No need," he retorted, "Elysia."
"Think of it more as a little helping hand," he continued.
Then, as Elysia curiously bent over, Aeon concentrated his attention on the holographic screen, dragging and dropping icons. However, the desk was too tall for her to see, and she pouted cutely before hopping up onto Aeon's knee and then onto the desk, peering at the huge screen.
Elysia turned to Aeon out of curiosity and asked, "What is that, Uncle Aeon?" while pointing at the TV.
Aeon finished his adjustments and gazed at Elysia with his red mechanical eyes. He replied, "This? Oh, it's a supply list that could help MOTH. I would like you to bring these supplies to a specific location, but not right now."
Standing up from his chair, Aeon began walking away, and Elysia watched his departure. She hopped off the giant desk and landed on the ground, quickly following Aeon's lead.
Elysia asked as she followed, "Where are you going, Uncle?"
Aeon said, "Follow me, Elysia. I have a surprise for you!" without turning his head, and walked in that direction.
Elysia hurriedly trailed after him, gasping and squealing with childlike delight. "Oh, Uncle, another surprise? Is it another cute trinket? Or maybe another adorable teddy bear like the ones you give me every week? Another teddy bear!" she said with excitement.
Aeon continued to move forward while chuckling at the girl with the pink hair's enthusiasm. They made their way slowly to the door, which was a sizable one but relatively little for Aeon compared to Elysia's hugeness.
Aeon smiled warmly at Elysia and said with utmost confidence, "Well, my little Ely, you're going to love it."
As the metal doors opened, the lights automatically turned on, revealing a sight that took Elysia's breath away. The room was filled with a multitude of adorable pink outfits displayed across multiple floors. It resembled a dream closet, a vast collection of exquisite and incredibly cute outfits, each one begging to be worn.
Elysia stood there, her eyes sparkling with awe, rendered speechless by the sheer number of outfits before her. Aeon couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he watched her reaction. He crouched down and whispered softly in Elysia's ear, "This is yours~"
Still wearing a wide smile and eyes brimming with excitement, Elysia whispered back, "All of them?"
Aeon chuckled and whispered, "Yes."
Elysia responded in a hushed voice, "Really, Uncle?"
Aeon hummed in his deep mechanical voice and whispered again, "All of this is yours, my little princess."
He gently patted Elysia's head with his large, mechanically pointed finger, and she didn't mind at all.
Snapping out of her happy shock, Elysia's eyes lit up with fiery passion. She immediately dashed into the room, transitioning from gasping and squealing to gasping once again. Aeon observed her reaction and chuckled softly.
In this tender moment, Aeon felt a sense of tranquility, as if a flicker of his human self still lingered within him. He wished to preserve this feeling forever but soon refocused on Elysia, who was happily exploring her newfound treasure trove. Though Aeon lacked a mouth, he radiated a sense of pride and parental joy as he watched over the child.
Aeon pulled out a large camera from somewhere and suggested, "Want me to take a picture?"
Elysia quickly turned her head upon hearing her robot uncle's voice. She widened her already broad smile and replied, "Yes! Yes, Uncle! Hehe! Make sure to capture my good sides!"
Meanwhile, at MOTH Base...
Yae Sakura strolled down the hallway with her distinctive pink fox-like ears, a result of her MANTIS surgery. She attracted quite a few curious stares, but she paid them no mind. Within MOTH, she was known as a member of the Cocoon, a specialized group of assassins responsible for cleaning up infected individuals and eliminating targets.
Unperturbed by the attention, Yae Sakura made her way toward Dr. Mei's office. Upon opening the door, she found Dr. Mei seated at her desk, engrossed in important work and surrounded by stacks of papers. Dr. Mei sighed, burdened by the workload, before lifting her head to see Yae Sakura. She nodded and gestured toward a chair.
"Ah, Sakura, please sit," Dr. Mei said.
Yae Sakura nodded, took a seat, and looked at Dr. Mei, asking, "Do you need something from me, Doctor?"
Dr. Mei nodded and replied, "Yes, I would like you to tell me about your supposed operation."
"Ah... that..." Yae Sakura hesitated a bit, finding it complicated to explain. She let out a hesitant "Ummmm..."
Dr. Mei smiled and reassured her, leaning back in her chair. "It's fine, take your time. We have all the time we need, and the office is soundproof."
Still feeling a bit reluctant, Yae Sakura sighed but mustered the willingness to explain, slowly going into detail.
Two hours later...
Dr. Mei was taken aback by the bizarre explanation from Yae Sakura but quickly regained her composure. She shook her head and looked at Yae Sakura, saying, "Thank you, Sakura, for the explanations. Well, you can go now. I need to ponder over this explanation a bit more deeply."
Yae Sakura nodded, exited Dr. Mei's office, and the office returned to its quiet state.
Dr. Mei sighed as she leaned back in her chair and gazed up at the ceiling. She murmured to herself, "A red-eyed giant preventing her from killing or fulfilling her duty, but it's fortunate as it provides an opportunity to communicate with the one responsible for creating such high levels of honkai concentration and awakening a Herrscher." She referred to Aponia, displaying documents and an image of her on her holographic screen.
Dr. Mei continued, "Well, it was Elysia's suggestion to have Aponia and this... man who refuses to remove his mask join MOTH. They are indeed unique, as Elysia mentioned."
She paused for a moment, lost in thought, and then spoke aloud to herself, "I can appoint Miss Aponia as the caretaker for the infected people in her shelter. After all, she has been the one taking care of them all along, and they have developed a deep bond with her. As for this man... Kalpuss? No, Kalpas. For now, maybe he should accompany Aponia."
Dr. Mei sighed again, closing her eyes and slowly reopening them. "The description of the Unknown Entity's body is... unknown, but according to Sakura, it's big and has red eyes."
She groaned in frustration, asking, "What is that 'thing'?"
Meanwhile, the 'thing' she is concerning about...
Aeon spoke, "Nice, these are good shots."
Elysia giggled while wearing a teddy bear sleeping outfit and exclaimed, "Hehe! Oh, Uncle, he's striking the same pose too!" She posed from another adorable angle.
Aeon nonchalantly snapped another picture, seemingly unbothered by everything.

But anyway was it good?
And sorry if it took long, I also have other things important to do
Oh and by the way, Pardofelis and Vill-V will also have screen time too! And yes since Sundown Alley is umm well 'that' but Pardo is a lucky girl and Vill-V would probably calculated the time somehow or something.
Anyway! See you guys next time! On the next chapter!
