[Now, everyone, take a look.]
[These are the murals from the Vega tribe, depicting their creator, Dr. Mobius.]
[…]
[As we can clearly see,]
[The first mural shows that the ancestors of the Vega tribe were granted an audience with their creator, but she appears to be displeased.]
[The second mural depicts the Vega ancestors, anxious and fearful, humbly asking their goddess why their creator seemed so unhappy.]
[In the third mural, the goddess tells them that if they could obtain a carefully crafted painting from Lady Griseo, their creator would surely be delighted.]
[Thus, the fourth mural shows the Vega ancestors seeking out Griseo to request her artwork.]
[Then, in the fifth mural, they present the painting to their creator, and Mobius rewards them with limitless potential and wisdom.]
[…]
[Today, these murals have been lost to history, destroyed along with the Vega tribe's ancient homeland during the invasion of the Antimatter Legion.]
[But I was thrilled to find them here in the Void Archives.]
[Though these events likely took place in the early years of the Current Era, their proximity to the Previous Era still supports what we were discussing earlier.]
[…]
[Dr. Mobius doted on Griseo, Blanca's daughter. It might truly be a case of 'love me, love my dog,' for all we know.]
[…]
One could see—
The murals, captured in photographs, bore the marks of time and erosion. Some parts were even blurred, yet their essence could still be vaguely grasped.
Leaving aside the fact that official history wasn't being explained—instead, someone was obsessively fixating on this so-called folklore as if it were solid evidence—it was, frankly, a bit unhinged.
But at the very least, many of the keywords had caught people's attention.
"The Vega tribe? What kind of race is that?"
"Mobius was their creator? She actually created an entire race?"
"…"
To be honest, even Mobius herself was intrigued, her eyes lighting up with interest.
It wasn't about creating a race or not.
What captivated her was the idea that, in the future, she had truly become like a deity, woven into myth and legend.
"The Aeon of Infinity…" Mobius suddenly recalled the title mentioned earlier in the projection. It seemed different from Finality or Origin. An Aeon? Was it a specific title? Or something else…
Excellent.
She was very interested!
"Quick! Write this down—Antimatter Legion! This might be on the test!" On the military side, soldiers were watching together, knowing there'd be a review later.
These young men might never have encountered Honkai properly, but if their superiors said to take notes, they'd pool their ideas and work hard.
Seriously, they hadn't been this diligent even back in school.
Damn.
"Antimatter Legion… Antimatter…" Researchers pondered, forming bold conjectures, though these were still in their infancy.
The projection hadn't even shown the Antimatter Legion yet.
There was no way to know what they really were!
Just a name—so unreliable!
[When we speak of Dr. Mobius, her achievements and honors are too numerous to count. She is the epitome of a scientist who reached the pinnacle of the universe.]
[Yet few people know]
[The so-called Artificial Herrscher Project evolved from an initiative known as the MANTIS Project.]
[Even the Stigma Project, overseen by Dr. Mei, was originally proposed by Dr. Mobius. Later, when Dr. Mobius focused her efforts on the MANTIS Project, she handed over the earliest research on Stigma to Dr. Mei, which inspired Dr. Mei's subsequent studies.]
[…]
[We often acknowledge Dr. Mobius, Dr. Mei, and Dr. Vill-V as the three most renowned scientists serving by the goddess's side.]
[Yet few realize their fields of study intertwined, and they frequently collaborated on projects.]
[We'll discuss Dr. Vill-V another time.]
[As for Dr. Mei, since she isn't part of the goddess's… entourage, we'll just mention her briefly here.]
[…]
At Nagazora Academy,
Mei watched the sky silently, never imagining that the "Dr. Mei" mentioned in the projection could be her.
But then an illustration appeared—Dr. Mei in a lab coat, standing confidently at a podium, speaking with authority.
She was completely stunned.
"Mei… that's you!" Kevin exclaimed excitedly.
"Mm…" Miss Mei was still just a high school student.
Though she'd already published some papers and achieved modest success, she was still a relatively small fish with no real academic reputation.
Still, she'd already suspected this projection was fishy. Its content might not be as simple as it seemed.
And now, out of the blue, it had mentioned her.
It might… really mean something.
She paid close attention.
Even if it were all true—a glimpse into the future—seeing her future self achieve so much…
It made her somewhat happy.
Even if it didn't feel entirely real.
"This is great, Mei! I was worried you'd be listed as part of the goddess's… you know. Thank goodness, you're still my Mei." Kevin grinned, scratching his head.
Miss Mei wasn't sure how to respond. "I thought you didn't believe any of this?"
"I don't believe this world has anything called 'Honkai,' but I have no idea what this sky show is about. Anyway, I think this is great, isn't it? The whole world gets to see how amazing you are. Doesn't that prove my taste is excellent?"
Kevin laughed cheerfully.
Dr. Mei fell silent for a moment. "If… if it were confirmed that I really were part of the goddess's… entourage…"
"Then I'd fight to bring you back," Kevin said firmly.
Beside them, Su facepalmed, his silence deafening.
Elsewhere, nations around the world suddenly felt like they had answers handed to them.
The projection continued, but actions were already underway.
"Hurry!"
"Find out where this Dr. Mei is! And that Vill-V person too."
"…"
It was like a modern-day time traveler landing in the Three Kingdoms era—even with limited knowledge, anyone could name a few historically famous figures.
Regardless of their actual abilities, those who left a mark in history were never insignificant.
Even Hua Xiong, whom Lord Guan famously defeated in the time it takes to warm wine, was, before Lü Bu's arrival, the mightiest warrior of Xiliang.
And those generals defeated during Guan Yu's journey through five passes? They were still military commanders guarding strategic towns.
In today's terms, many people couldn't even measure up to them.
Higher-ups loved this kind of situation.
You drop the names, we find the people.
No matter what, they're definitely talents!
The quality is guaranteed!
