Honkai Archives: Old, Short, but Gold

Chapter 24: Where'd That Huge Herrscher Go?



"Please~ Please~ Everyone, let's try one more time~♪"

After experiencing several more simulations and seeing the stark difference between the outcomes with and without Yuhao's intervention, many Flame-Chasers wavered.

But seeing Elysia's persistence, no one spoke up in opposition.

After all, that was Elysia.

"Sigh, there's really nothing we can do about you."

Eden gently held Elysia's slightly agitated hands and said softly,

"In that case, I'll accompany you. It doesn't matter how many simulations we run next."

"I'll always be with you, Elysia."

"Sob, sob, Eden, my dear Eden~♪"

Burying her face in Eden's embrace, Elysia was deeply moved.

As expected, her Eden was the best.

"Hmph, Elysia, only you would be stubborn to such a ridiculous extent."

Crossing his arms, Kalpas' masked face showed no expression as he snorted disdainfully.

But he still stood up to express his stance.

"Hehe, if it's something Sister Elysia wants to do, then I'll definitely support it!"

Patting her chest, Pardofelis stood up.

"It's precisely because of this, Elysia, that I dislike you so much."

Mobius expressed her disgust towards Elysia's behavior and attitude, but she also stood up.

"Don't misunderstand, I just don't want the simulation to end so quickly."

"In the simulation, I can still find more possibilities for achieving infinity."

"Indeed, there is still a long time before the first Honkai Eruption officially breaks out. The simulation will not stop just because we make a certain decision. We can still continue to explore in the simulation and look for more possibilities."

"Yuhao is a respectable leader, but the future of human civilization should definitely not only have the path of extreme racism."

"If possible, we can temporarily treat Mr. Yuhao's helping hand as a safety net, and on top of this mechanism, look for more new possibilities for the future."

Mei adjusted her glasses, which weren't even crooked, and also stood up, agreeing with Elysia's actions from another perspective.

The other Flame-Chasers also stood up one after another, willing to support Elysia's actions.

The experience of nearly sixty simulations had allowed the Flame-Chasers to deeply understand each other. Their relationship was not only that of close friends who walked side by side, but also that of comrades who fought together.

Therefore...

There was no need for more words. Let them look for more possibilities in the simulation.

Simulation, start!

—Start it for me!

[You did not choose to join Fire Moth, but instead formed a non-official organization called the "Earth Union." In your plan, this organization exists to fight against the Honkai, unite humanity, and perhaps create a new path to the future for human civilization.]

[Elysia was responsible for traveling between various organizations and countries, recruiting talented individuals and looking for new blood for the organization; Mobius was responsible for the research projects within the organization, accelerating the organization's scientific research, and using this technology to win over other organizations as allies; Mei focused on overall planning, managing all aspects of the organization, and accelerating the organization's development...]

[Everyone was assigned different tasks based on their abilities and characteristics, and they also dedicated their talents wholeheartedly. The Earth Union quickly grew from an insignificant small organization to a large and powerful one, with considerable international influence and the ability to participate in international affairs to a certain extent.]

Having experienced nearly sixty simulations, and having received guidance from Yuhao in the previous few simulations,

The Flame-Chasers had not only found their own specialized abilities and fields, but they could now also easily accomplish things that were once almost impossible for them.

Such as establishing and managing an organization.

They couldn't do it before, but now they could not only do it, but they could also do it decently.

The Honkai was becoming stronger, and they were also growing.

This situation made the Flame-Chasers believe that as long as they were given enough time, they would definitely be able to find another path besides establishing the Human Federation and taking the path of extreme racism.

For example, establishing the "United Nations of Earth" according to their organizational form and taking the path of friendliness and equality...

Well, it was still too early to say these things.

After all, they couldn't even defeat the Honkai yet, so they should focus on defeating the Honkai first.

[You detected that Honkai energy around the globe suddenly became active at the same time, reaching an extremely high peak in just a few minutes.]

[Based on your past experience, the current peak of Honkai energy activity has reached the conditions for a Honkai Eruption.]

[The First Honkai Eruption broke out!]

[The time of the eruption was also about the same as you expected. Honkai Beasts emerged in some areas with active Honkai energy, and the concentration of Honkai energy in the entire world increased.]

[But you soon discovered a problem. The First Honkai Eruption broke out, but there was no specific location for the eruption.]

[Also, where was the First Herrscher?]

["The First Honkai Eruption has no location, how come the First Herrscher is also missing?"]

["I don't know!"]

[You saw Mei and Mobius scratching their heads in confusion, and also saw Kevin's bewildered expression.]

[You, who were ready to eliminate the First Herrscher, obtain its core, and imitate Yuhao by promoting industrial and energy revolutions to gain the support and recognition of mainstream human society and further develop your power, looked at each other, wide-eyed and bewildered.]

[Now that the Herrscher had not appeared, their plan could not be implemented at all.]

["Where's the Herrscher? Where did such a huge Herrscher go?"]

[With the First Honkai Eruption having no location and the First Herrscher also missing, you anxiously spent five months.]

[One afternoon, the Honkai energy in the entire world became restless again, and you detected the active Honkai energy peak that could trigger a major Honkai Eruption once more.]

[The Second Honkai Eruption broke out!]

[You were invigorated and once again assembled your troops, preparing to deal with the incoming Second Honkai Eruption with all your might.]

[But after the troops were assembled and ready to be deployed, you once again discovered in bewilderment that the Second Honkai Eruption had indeed broken out, but... it had not descended.]

[Similarly, at that moment, you detected the Herrscher's signal, but it was only for a moment. The Herrscher's signal disappeared a moment later.]

[It was as if the Herrscher had never appeared, and as if the Honkai Eruption had never occurred.]

[With this happening twice in a row, you began to doubt yourselves, but you also realized that something was wrong.]

[You gathered your forces and began a large-scale search across the globe, trying to find out if the descended Second Herrscher and the missing First Herrscher were like the extremely well-hidden Herrscher of Dominance and Herrscher of Corruption.]

[But you still found nothing.]

[It was as if the Honkai had never appeared. The world was so peaceful and tranquil.]

[In this self-doubt, you spent another five months, and then the global Honkai energy activity level reached a peak again.]

[The Third Honkai Eruption broke out!]

[But you still could not find any trace of the Herrscher or the Honkai Eruption, which made you both vigilant and anxious.]

["Where did the Herrscher go?"]

[All of you were very frustrated, and you all had this question in your hearts.]

["Where'd that huge Herrscher go?"]
