Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Mebius looked at the somewhat bewildered girl and felt a surge of secret pleasure.

[Yes, yes, that's the expression—I really want to see it!!]

[…You'd better tone it down, Ms. Möbius. Our Lord can read minds, but she's not keen on using it right now—by Apostle of Thought, Fokine.]

The black raven perched on Snow's shoulder rolled its eyes at the doctor in front of it, whose inner monologue was incredibly complex.

【Huh?! ...Who are you?!】

I am one of the agents of the deity you are facing... A friendly reminder: for the sake of your future, you'd better tone down your thoughts a bit; they're practically written all over your face...

[Tsk... You're much more pleasing to the eye than your master...]

"So... what did that overworked Herrscher do to betray me? Did she actually speak???"

"I remember she used to be very sparing with words, didn't she?"

Snow, equally unaware of what Möbius was thinking, looked at the green-haired doctor in front of him with confusion.

"Of course she didn't say anything... How could that arrogant girl, who looks down on everyone, possibly lower herself to communicate with us? If she did speak to us, I would shed my snake skin in front of everyone in Paradise!"

.....

"Are you serious?"

Alicia and Snow exchanged a glance, recalling something they had mentioned earlier... and their lips twitched involuntarily.

Do I look like I'm joking?!

Ms. Mebius glanced confidently at the two people in front of her.

"Then it's a deal~ my dear Möbius—"

Looking at the confident and composed Serpent Lord before her, Alicia immediately decided to keep the upcoming arrival of a certain VIP guest a secret, preparing to give her proud and aloof best friend a big surprise...

"Huh?? What do you mean by 'it's a promise'???"

While the Snake Queen looked on in confusion, as if wondering if she had been tricked again, Snow drew her attention back—

"Hey hey—you still haven't told me what that white-haired idiot did!"

"Oh right—let's continue with what happened before. The last Herrscher looked at you with a very human-like sense of apprehension and fear..."

"And what you said to her, well, Yingjie was too busy fighting at the time to hear what you yelled... But we still keep combat record videos—"

"Before our era entered the Great Cryogenic Hibernation, the survivors conducted a simple analysis of you..."

"And the conclusion reached—it certainly leaves some people confused...like me. And what did you yell at that so-called white-haired idiot? Do I need to remind you?"

Mebius looked at the blonde girl in front of him with amusement...

"Forget it... If the grammar and semantics between the previous and current civilizations weren't too different, then what if I yelled at her?"

"Those who overstep their bounds—step back..."

"...This must be the sentence?"

"That's right... it was this sentence that kept all the researchers at the Firemoth team up at night."

This is cause for celebration!!!

*I used the last five expansion cards miHoYo gave me to bring Airi back to my ship!!!

Great! I can sleep well tonight. Hope you guys get your goods too.

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 385 I'll make every single one of them a D!

"So, before I put on this show for you, you all thought that gods, or rather, the consciousness of the Honkai... were just a hypothetical existence that didn't exist, right?"

Looking at the pink fairy lady and the snake spirit who had been around for ten thousand years in front of her, the girl made a second confirmation of them.

"That's right~ I've never seen any gods or anything like that before, Ellie~"

"Snow, you are the only special being I have ever seen—if there really are other gods, I hope they are all beautiful girls like you!"

One of the earliest Herrschers made the terrifying statement, "I want them all..."

"Ha, Alicia, what are you thinking—! Another god is going to cause trouble for Paradise! Didn't you see what happened just now? The whole Paradise shook when she hit it with her hammer!!!"

Before Miss Snow Apocalypse could even react, Mebius and the Pink Fairy resumed their charade, pointing at the blond-haired girl while simultaneously unleashing a barrage of verbal attacks on Alicia...

"It was one thing for a Herrscher to come in before, everyone knows that was your wish—but then another god who was at the top of the list of dangerous people in the Firemoth came along."

"You even stuck it on so naturally?! What if this guy has some ideas about Paradise—"

"Oh dear... is my dear Möbius angry??"

Alicia tilted her head at the snake lord who had suddenly flared up, a mocking smile on her face.

"No—I'm not angry? Why would I be angry?!"

Möbius's rapid-fire speech suddenly stalled—

The girl in pink had Mebius completely under her thumb—

"Whenever you get angry, the fingers of your right hand will move irregularly, and the pupils in your eyes will shrink into narrower, vertical slits than usual."

"you....."

"In short, Alicia—don't go around rubbing against every pretty girl you see!!!"

"What if they have ulterior motives towards Paradise?!"

Möbius slammed his hand on the laboratory table.

"Leaving aside Dr. Mebius, the Evergreen Snake Spirit, loudly slandering me in front of me... there's one thing you're absolutely right about—Uncle... oops, little sister, I do indeed harbor ill intentions towards Paradise!"

Just as Mebius and Alicia were exchanging words, or rather, as Mebius was being unilaterally manipulated by Miss Alicia, Snow interrupted the conversation.

"Look at Alicia! This girl has already confessed her crimes!!!"

Mebius seemed to have found some leverage and was planning to unleash a barrage of attacks.

"Oh? What strange idea is cute little Snow up to now?"

Alicia looked at the girl in front of her with curiosity, ready to see what insightful opinions she had.

"Of course, I'm after you and Mebius!"

"Oh right, there's no need to pursue Möbius anymore—"

Looking at Möbius beside him, Snow deliberately feigned a look of sudden realization...

"Hmm... After all, you've got Mebius all figured out, little Snow."

Alicia nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Hey!! You two!"

Seeing the pink fairy who was, in a sense, "betraying her own people," Ms. Mebius finally couldn't hold back her expression.

"Alright, alright~ dear Möbius—going out has always been your wish, hasn't it? Now, Snow has indeed given you that opportunity, hasn't he?"

"Now you can go out and find your little assistant doll to stick with!"

"...Tsk, let's get down to business!!!"

Caught off guard by Alicia and Snow, Möbius immediately changed the subject—

[Although being able to go out and touch Klein would be nice....]

"So what's your purpose in asking whether the god of the supposedly corrupted will exists?"

Having regained his composure, Möbius began to probe deeper.

"Of course I'd ask if I saw it... Otherwise, why would I ask something like this for no reason?"

Snow rolled his eyes at Mebius, as if asking her why she was asking such a question.

"What?! You saw it???"

"What does she look like? What does she look like?! Tell me quickly, is she a pretty girl like us??"

Mebius and Alicia's reactions were not only vastly different, but also diametrically opposed.

"Cough cough cough... One at a time. I'll explain it to you first, and then you can analyze for me what that thing is... Just help me analyze... what am I—"

Snow, gesturing for the two to calm down, began his story—

"First of all, dear Miss Ellie is probably going to be disappointed... that guy can hardly be considered humanoid or anything like that—hey, what a fat can... I suspect that if you hold this cat up in front of that clay guy, he could even turn into a cat."

"And then you can even answer questions like where it gets more dried fish..."

Snow, who was tucking the can of food into his pocket, shook his head.

"His first appearance should have been after the Second Honkai Impact, after the Herrscher of the Void entered the lunar surface, in some mysterious space, where he spoke to her in the same form as the Second Herrscher of the Core."

"And the Second Herrscher, under His guidance, found the Honkai power that was sealed on Earth in your time."

This is his first appearance—

"It sounds like Wikipedia or something... What about the second time?"

Alicia muttered something to Mebius, somewhat confused.

"The second time, also during the Second Great Collapse... my father, in order to find a way to resurrect his fiancée Kallen Kaslana, entered the consciousness of the Second Herrscher with the help of the power of Ying Jiehua, who held the name of Floating Life."

"This time, He took the form of my father... and gave him an answer that he couldn't understand at the time."

Snow shook his head—

"Hmm...it really does resemble a Baidu Encyclopedia that answers every question? Maybe if we put canned food on it, it will tell the cat where there are countless dried fish?"

The girl made a little joke, but the two people in front of her didn't respond; instead, they nodded thoughtfully...

"...Hey? You guys don't really think so?"

"Don't think, Snow—we'll just try it and see!! The best way to prove a conjecture is through practice!"

Möbius patted Snow on the shoulder forcefully—

"And you really can find that Ditto Snow, right?!"

"Are you serious?"

"Since you've already dragged me out of Paradise, you should be able to drag Alicia out too, right? We'd like to see what this so-called Honkai consciousness is all about."
