[Himeko]
--+--
Well now, my turn.
Himeko looked up.
Her relationship with Kiana and the others was… pretty good, all things considered.
She originally thought she had nothing to do with this. So, she counted too?
She always felt she wasn't very feminine, was pushing thirty, and probably unmarriageable. Yet, the young mistress was willing?
[Himeko, formerly the Seventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Fire, later an Emanator of Deliverance Kevin, and one of the young mistress's wives.]
[Once manipulated by the Honkai, she single-handedly destroyed the entire Australian continent. She was later saved by the young mistress. To atone for her sins, she became a warrior fighting for a better world, willing to dedicate everything to this cause, forever.]
Yikes!
The Seventh Herrscher is out in the open too!
The higher-ups in Fire Moth collectively facepalmed.
Good grief, the enemy was right inside their own house? What was this about?
Even though the future was different now and it might not be her, as long as there was the slightest possibility, they had to be careful. "Later, contact Himeko. I want to meet her."
They absolutely needed to have a good, long heart-to-heart with her.
To confirm things.
To see if this child held any grievances against Fire Moth.
Whatever she was unhappy about, they'd change it.
As for Himeko herself, she was utterly bewildered.
She looked around; everyone was staring at her. "Huh? Me? The Seventh Herrscher? Seriously?"
And so.
It seemed the main world's list was finished.
Because next up.
It seemed to be characters from that "Honkai Impact 3rd" world.
And the very first one was damn familiar.

[Elysian Realm · Elysia]
--+--
"???"
"?"
"Another Elysia?"
Forget the audience being confused, Elysia herself was baffled.
But as she watched, she began to understand a little.
This so-called "Honkai Impact 3rd" was a new era developed over 55,000 years after their own age, which served as the Previous Era.
"It seems they didn't manage to protect the young mistress over there," Su said gravely.
After all, if they had protected the young mistress, she would likely have retained her humanity and couldn't have truly become the Finality, initiating the prelude to the world's destruction.
Even though Kiana said that their world was the original storyline, which might differ from what they imagined, but roughly speaking, it wasn't wrong: because that world didn't have her, the Previous Era was wiped out.
Right?

This was basically a classic character re-run.
Everyone understood now: before the Previous Era was destroyed, they created something called the Elysian Realm to pass things on. What existed inside were the Elysian Realm versions of the Flame-Chasers.
They'd even heard from Yuzu that the Flame-Chasers over there were somewhat different from the ones here, and the meanings they represented also had slight distinctions.
After all.
The Flame-Chasers here were Kiana's personal guard.
Over there, they were simply the thirteen MANTISes remaining after the Binding tragedy.
The significance was vastly different.

[Elysian Realm · Mobius]

Surprisingly, the Mobius everyone knew was the big snake, but the one they saw now was a little snake.
This was going to be fun.
And then.

[Elysian Realm · Griseo]

Whoa, this Griseo is so tiny!
This counts too?

"This one doesn't seem any different," someone quipped.
"LMAO, so flat," someone else chuckled.
Good thing this wasn't a live comment section, otherwise Miss Hua would really get angry. This isn't fair.

[No.24]
[Kiana Kaslana (K423)]
--+--
The illustration showed a girl strikingly similar to the young mistress, Kiana. Her resilience was tinged with naivety, even a bit of silliness, as she struck a cool pose, looking quite beautiful.
"Is this an Aeon?"
"She doesn't seem intimidating at all…"
"Wrong picture, maybe?"
A young mistress from another world?
The young mistress doesn't even spare herself?
[Kiana Kaslana, a clone of Sirin and the real Kiana, designated K423. Created as a vessel for the Herrscher of the Void, she is now one of the young mistress's wives.]
"Great, just great, another Herrscher!"
[After undergoing a series of trials, she evolved from the Herrscher of the Void into the Herrscher of Flamescion, and ultimately became the Herrscher of Finality. She is now the Aeon of Finality.]
"This… she can evolve too?"
The public collectively gasped.
Some people secretly noted down the term "evolution." So Herrschers could evolve?
(T/N: The MC's name, when phoetically pronounced, is the same as Kiana, which is why I used it, but spelling wise, it's Qianna, but for familiarity's sake, i just kept it as Kiana, but the reason there's no one questioning the name is that the spelling is different.)

[No.25]
[Raiden Mei]
--+--
The image appeared.
The first one to stare wide-eyed was Kevin.
"Mei… is that you?!"
"That is not me!" Dr. Mei facepalmed.
It really wasn't her.
The Raiden Mei in the image was pure white, handsome, somewhat imposing, more like a martial artist than a scientist, clad in a magnificent armor-like dress, looking utterly divine.
But compared to the Aeon of Finality, Raiden Mei also seemed to be an Aeon. The lofty aura was there, even more sublime, and the illustration made it more convincing.
[Raiden Mei, daughter of ME Corp, one of the young mistress's wives.]
[Formerly the Third Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder, she later evolved into her complete form. After entering the Elysian Realm, she received the legacy of Origin and became the Herrscher of Origin. She is now the Aeon of Origin.]
Somehow, Kevin had a sudden insight and looked at Kiana.
He saw Kiana giving him a sheepish smile, but he couldn't shake the feeling she was quite pleased with herself.
'So what if I can't have your wife? I have the alternative version!'
Besides, her Mei was no mere substitute for his Mei.

[Bronya Zaychik]
--+--
An illustration of the adult Bronya was displayed.
Even after seeing many beauties so far, Bronya's top-tier appearance still drew many gasps of admiration.
[Bronya Zaychik, one of the young mistress's wives.]
[Once fought against the Honkai as the Herrscher of Reason, later became the Herrscher of Truth, achieving sublimation.]
[Currently the Aeon of Truth.]
"Excellent! Another Herrscher."
People around the world were growing numb to it by now.
And at that moment.
A new character appeared on the screen.
--+--
[No.27]
[Seele & Veliona]
--+--
It was a pair of twins, using the "Stygian Nymph" style illustration.
The will of the Aeons bestowed a divine charm, an endless cycle of life and death.
It made one feel only the vastness, the infinity.
[Seele, a Stigma Awakened, whose internal Stigma manifested as a second personality, 'Herrscher of Rebirth'. Both are now members of the young mistress's harem.]
[Due to the crises of the Salt Snow Holy City, Seele and 'Veliona' were separated. Seele ultimately became the Herrscher of Death and Rebirth, while 'Veliona' acts in her Starchasm Nyx state.]
[United, they form the Aeon of Death and Rebirth.]
"Mhm mhm, acceptable, acceptable!"
Elysia looked at the two Seeles, almost drooling.
Two for the price of one, and both originating as Herrschers. Wonderful!
