At that moment.
The voice of the VTuber once again spread across the whole world.
Causing many people to jolt in surprise.
[Speaking of which, I remember reading in the official history.]
[It seems Lady Aponia truly stepped onto the stage of history during the Eighth Eruption, right?]
"The Eighth Eruption?"
"Quick, take notes!"
Wait a minute…
The Fourth one hasn't even started yet. The Eighth… will taking notes about it even be useful?
By that time, things would've gone totally off track, right?!
Someone voiced their doubt.
Only to get a firm slap on the back of their head.
"Are you stupid? Who cares if it's useful or not? Just write it down, what's the big deal?!"
"Oh…"
[Yes.]
You could see.
The chibi Kiana nodded seriously, saying with great gravitas.
[That's because the 8th Herrscher back then was the Herrscher of Sentience, simply put, the Herrscher of mind and consciousness.]
[She could easily invade human minds, creating dreams and illusions.]
[Back then, she set certain words as triggers, like a memetic hazard, plunging tens of millions of people into eternal slumber.]
[Although later on… we managed to save quite a few. But many others completely became vegetables…]
[Their minds were gone, beyond recovery.]
Many among the populace couldn't help but shiver as they thought it over.
Wasn't this just a straight-up psychic attack?!
Good grief… so there was even this kind?
Just imagine, your body is still alive, but your mind is completely gone.
What kind of fate is that?
Truly the living dead! No one would want that.
What's more, from the sound of it, it seemed like people just suddenly fell into the dream, utterly impossible to guard against.
Damn!
[At the time, as the only two Herrscher-level psychic-type MANTISes, the task of opposing the Herrscher of Sentience naturally fell to them.]
[Besides Aponia, the other one, as you know, was Su.]
"Hmm…"
Over at the open-air gathering.
Su slowly opened his eyes, looking at the sky with some solemnity.
What was coming would indeed come.
"Su, impressive!"
"You got singled out by name!"
Kevin and Ato, flanking Su on both sides, pulled him close, teasing him, putting him in a real 'man'-sandwich.
[So it was him~]
With Miss Yuzu's words, everyone felt even more convinced—sure enough! Whether in the original future or now, them gathering around Kiana happened for a reason.
"Probably, Su is also an Emanator… just not sure which Path," Klein looked at her own doctor.
Mobius nodded nonchalantly, taking a sip of milk.
Tch~
"Why is there only milk at this party?"
"Because little old me~ only bought milk~" Elysia sang out, smiling brightly.
[My ancestor's memoirs also mentioned that it was during the Eighth Eruption in the Previous Era, to avoid falling into the dream and being ambushed by the Herrscher of Sentience, that he asked Lady Aponia to place a Discipline on him.]
As the chibi Vtuber lady said this.
On the screen, Miss Kiana gave a slight, knowing smile.
[I know about that… the Discipline Kevin asked Aponia to place on him back then was 'Never able to dream'.]
[Because of that, the Herrscher of Sentience had no way to deal with him.]
[Otherwise, if the strongest warrior of Fire Moth had been dragged into a dream, fighting on the Herrscher's home turf, the situation would've been even worse.]
She shrugged, as if teasing.
[After all, back then, you know… I was just an ordinary noble young lady, how could I have power like theirs~]
Incredible!
Although most people probably understood what the Discipline was by now.
But, directly placing an edict to make someone never able to dream…
That was really quite extreme.
Even more absurd was, in the original future, during the Eighth Eruption, our young lady was still secretly powering up.
She hadn't even revealed herself back then.
Was she really waiting all the way until the Finality era?
Many higher-ups and think-tank members, thinking about how the young lady was already active on their side now, felt a little happy.
Wasn't the situation looking up?
No one understands the Honkai better than the young lady.
So, just follow closely in the young lady's footsteps. Right?
[I see…]
[So that's the truth behind Savior Kevin never being able to dream.]
[Although some say it's because my ancestor was too cold and emotionless to dream, it's definitely not that, right?]
"Kevin, Kevin, see… I told you! This VTuber must be from your family."
"Yeah, she even called you ancestor. Don't you have any thoughts?"
Elysia held a cucumber like a microphone, offering it to Kevin.
But she suddenly thought, "Since it's Kevin's descendant, that means it must be from Mei, right?"
"Wha…" Dr. Mei didn't expect to be dragged into it.
She was about to refute.
But thinking carefully, it seemed possible!
Kevin was her boyfriend. If they got married, wouldn't she be the source of the bloodline?
Not necessarily that the family tree started with her alone.
But at the very least, if Kevin was the ancestor, she probably couldn't escape being mentioned either.
Unless…
"Unless Kevin dumped you later!" The Great Magician Vill-V chimed in, never one to miss a chance to stir the pot.
Instantly.
Kevin broke out in a cold sweat.
"Mei, that's not true! Don't, don't listen to her nonsense!"
[In fact, although Kevin went through a lot and matured greatly, if you say Kevin doesn't understand emotions, that he's cold, I disagree.]
In the projection.
Kiana was also setting the record straight for Kevin.
[He just went from an innocent boy to a true warrior, experienced too much, and became a little too cautious because of it.]
Of course.
Anyone could tell that this 'cautious' she mentioned wasn't truly about fear.
Even so, many people still wanted to know what exactly happened to Kevin in the future.
Especially those familiar with Kevin.
His companions in Fire Moth…
Just thinking about that silly oaf was painful.
How much must he have gone through for that silly oaf to finally stand tall?
"It can't be that all of us died, right?!"
"What a hellish joke!"
[So that means, aside from the original eighteen Aeons, the rest who ascended later…seem to all be your close friends and loved ones, young lady?]
As the chibi Yuzu said this.
Many people pricked up their ears even more.
[That's right.]
Kiana smiled.
[I'm a girl who values relationships deeply. When there are benefits, of course I can't forget my friends, and even less can I forget my wives.]
[No wonder, back then, all of the thirteen Flame-Chasers by your side, except for Lady Elysia, became Aeons. So, how about me? Can I join your harem too?]
The Vtuber clasped her hands together in front of her, as if in prayer or longing, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Kiana opposite her. Her intention was just too obvious.
Sis, I want a guaranteed ticket too!
