Yu Ai watched the lively discussion and tapped the screen, changing his nickname to:
Elysia-Only Stan
Elysia—my Elysia!
For you, I will use Flaming Fist on the "Cocoon of Finality"!
[Elysia-Only Stan]: Yo, good evening, everyone. Just got signal. Sorry for going missing.
[Sushang_Only_Account]: Wow! It's you—the newcomer who got pulled in with me! You finally spoke up!
[Focalors, Finish Your Sentence]: Welcome, newcomer! Huh—your nickname… Elysia-Only Stan? Sounds like someone really formidable. Why didn't you talk earlier?
[Kato Megumi]: Welcome. Looks like you and Sushang were added to the group in the same batch.
[New Eridu Is Burning]: Welcome! You lurked for so long—did something happen?
[Demon King]: Welcome.
[Ordinary High School Girl]: Welcome!
[Beichen One-Blade Style]: …Welcome.
[Elysia-Only Stan]: Thanks. I drifted in the sea for ten days. My phone got waterlogged. Just replaced it.
The group fell briefly silent.
[Megumin]: …Organs burned out. Bones shattered. Space annihilation. Ten days adrift at sea.
[Focalors, Finish Your Sentence]: Th-That…
[Sushang_Only_Account]: Huh? Th-This is… even the Alchemy Commission of the Xianzhou couldn't save that!
[New Eridu Is Burning]: Bro, that's not "tough." That's immortality.
[Elysia-Only Stan]: Just decent. My life's tough enough. By the way—Raiden Mei—are you from Chiba Academy, that Raiden Mei?
[Focalors, Finish Your Sentence]: Huh? You know Raiden?
[Megumin]: The newcomer seems to know something about Raiden.
[New Eridu Is Burning]: Oh? Calling her out by full name—there's a story.
[Beichen One-Blade Style]: It's me. Who are you?
[Elysia-Only Stan]: Good, that confirms it. Raiden, listen to me. This is my request of a lifetime. Please—please—no matter what, you must go find Elysia in World Serpent. You must meet her, get close to her, become her friend. This is truly important to me.
[Beichen One-Blade Style]: ???
[Beichen One-Blade Style]: World Serpent? Elysia? What organization is that? Why should I go find someone I don't even know? And "a request of a lifetime"… we're talking for the first time.
[Sushang_Only_Account]: Wow! A request of a lifetime! That sounds super important. Raiden, just help him!
[Focalors, Finish Your Sentence]: Oh my, Elysia—so she's a beautiful lady? Newbie looks really obsessed.
[New Eridu Is Burning]: World Serpent? Sounds like a secret society. Newbie, you aren't recruiting Raiden into something shady, are you?
Raiden Mei, chatting at home, fell silent for a moment—thrown off by his intensity.
Elysia?
What Elysia?
And how does he know my name and school?
Was he watching while lurking?
Then Kato Megumi's earlier words surfaced in her mind.
[Beichen One-Blade Style]: Wait… you know my name and my school this precisely, and you mention "World Serpent" and "Elysia," things I've never heard of. Is it like Kato knowing Fujimaru's story—where, in the world you know, I'm also a character in a story, and you know my plot?
[Elysia-Only Stan]: Correct! I know it. Simply put: your father gets imprisoned, you get implanted with a Herrscher core, you become the Herrscher of Thunder, you trigger the Third Impact and about 400,000 people in Nagazora City die because of it. After that, you fall into despair and try to end yourself, then someone called "Grass Slipper Bug" saves you. From then on you two depend on each other, you become an ultra-protective wife-lover, and you walk the path of firmly believing "Mei is the top."
[Beichen One-Blade Style]: Herrscher core? Honkai? Four hundred thousand… suicide… "Grass Slipper Bug"… wait, what is "Mei is the top"?!
[Megumin]: In certain cultural contexts, especially when describing intimacy between women, "top" generally refers to the more主动—or rather, the more initiating or leading—role, while "bottom" refers to the more receiving role. Yu Ai is emphasizing your leading position in that relationship.
[Beichen One-Blade Style]: Stop!! Who asked for that kind of explanation?! Don't explain it that clearly!
[Focalors, Finish Your Sentence]: Kato's explanations are always… extremely clear.
[New Eridu Is Burning]: Hahahaha! Got it, got it! Raiden is the top!
[Sushang_Only_Account]: Top and bottom? Isn't that just "on" and "off"?
[Elysia-Only Stan]: Even if I'm nailed inside a coffin, I'll still shout with my rotting voice—Kiana is the bottom! Mei is the top!
At that moment—
[Ordinary High School Girl]: Help! A Demon God Pillar showed up, and it looks way bigger than in the game. Wasn't it supposed to appear in the Second Singularity? Why is it here now?
A live stream opened in the group, showing a shocking scene.
Inside what looked like a castle's great hall, the ceiling had been destroyed. A gigantic monster towered there.
It was a pillar as big as a small mountain—made of black flesh and countless crimson eyes.
"Let me introduce myself in a simple, easy-to-understand way," a gloomy male voice came from within the pillar.
"I am Lev Lainur Flauros. I can comprehend past and present, foresee the future. I am a superior lifeform beyond humanity, one of the seventy-two Demon Gods beneath the great King's throne—Flauros."
"See it?"
"This is my true form!"
"Feel honored!"
"Feel fear!"
"You will be purged here by the great pillar beneath the throne!"
With his words, enormous magical energy erupted. Black smoke surged upward from the ground, and a slender figure holding a shield blocked in front of Fujimaru.
Fujimaru typed at top speed.3
[Ordinary High School Girl]: We just went through a huge battle and everyone's injured. Mash can't hold on anymore. We really can't fight this at all!
[Demon King]: Ritsuka, stay calm. You are the Master—you command all Servants. If you panic now, your Servants will panic too. Calm down first.
[New Eridu Is Burning]: Ritsuka, hang in there. Remember your objective—you came to repair the Singularity. The goal is to retrieve the Holy Grail. If you retrieve it, there's no reason to fight that Demon God Pillar.
[Ordinary High School Girl]: Theresa, do you have any ideas for dealing with this?
[Demon King]: If I were alive, at times like this we could only rely on the prophetess.
[Elysia-Only Stan]: Why not just go over there and help her fight?
[Focalors, Finish Your Sentence]: If we could go over, we would have already. N-No, wait—although I'm a Hydro Archon, I have no divine power. Even if I went, I probably couldn't help.
[New Eridu Is Burning]: I only know how to guide people through Hollows.
[Demon King]: I'm dead, and I only have Second Authority. Opening a gate to other universes requires Fourth Authority.
Yu Ai scrolled, found his identity card in the group:
Fourth Authority, False Possession of Divinity
"False possession of divinity?"
No clue what that meant, but he understood the authority level.
He took a screenshot and sent it.
[Elysia-Only Stan]: Is Fourth Authority this?
