Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 525 This is a giant leap for mankind, a giant leap toward ascension.

This is one small step for me, one giant leap for our destruction. These are the true words Armstrong spoke when he commanded the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969—because he saw the remains of pre-civilizations, and even pre-pre-civilizations, on the lunar surface, as well as the Honkai energy that could instantly kill a person!

Today, we will show those pessimists of the past that they were wrong! This is not the giant leap toward destruction they claimed, but rather a new stage and a new beginning for human civilization.

When a civilization or a race moves towards and chooses to embrace this infinite galaxy, it bids farewell to past civilizations and races—for humanity, the planet beneath our feet is like a pupa, a cocoon.

And all that humanity needs to do now, all that we need to do, is to break free from our cocoons... and then take flight for the new life of humanity—

The name of this tower will be Yggdrasil, meaning the tree that holds the world and civilizations—now, let us welcome the transformation of the new world.

—The address given by Bishop Snow Apocalypse at the cutting ceremony of the space elevator "Yuktrasil" on the coral artificial island.

--

"See you later, Walter Young, and Joyce."

Standing on the platform of the orbital elevator, the blond-haired Archbishop of Destiny and the purple-haired Valkyrie bid farewell to the only two people on the field who remained conscious.

"That's quite a move... Miss Snow, I bet Tesla's blacklist is about to get another person on it—"

"The doctor just gathered people today to hold a discussion meeting..."

Joyce and Yang shook their heads helplessly, looking around at everything—

The Coral Island was incredibly quiet at this moment, lacking the hustle and bustle of its former technological metropolis.

As for the reason... Joyce picked up a golden cocoon from the ground. Its silky patterns seemed to possess an energy. Judging by its size, it appeared to be a small child. She gently placed it back next to the larger golden cocoon beside it. If all went as expected, that should be its guardian...

The surrounding area was also densely packed with the same... If nothing unexpected happens, Dr. Tesla's location at Anti-Entropy headquarters should be in the same situation...

"It doesn't matter, debts are a burden—anyway, we're all immortal, the blacklist will automatically expire in a few hundred years!"

Snow and Jiuxiao waved at the two men, seemingly indifferent....

"Several hundred years... alright..."

Joyce and Yang pinched their noses and shook their heads helplessly. They looked at each other and couldn't find a reasonable rebuttal for the time being.

Anyway, please be careful on the road.

"Teacher Yang, please stop now—when we meet again, everyone will be all together, so you should be mindful of your safety."

"Cough cough cough—I'm used to it! Anyway, that's how it is! We're going back now."

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, and remember not to let Kiana know about the plan."

"Don't worry!"

Walters nodded to Snow and Jiuxiao, then turned and flew towards Destiny and Anti-Entropy; while Jiuxiao and Snow, who had picked up the world boss panel, rubbed their hands together excitedly.

"How many people did you manage to convince in the end?"

Jiuxiao, who had pressed the button to ascend the platform, looked at Snow, who was standing calmly to the side, and asked him a question with some curiosity.

"Aili said it sounded fun and wanted to participate—so we can watch Aili fight Kevin and drag her cheap little sister, the Corruptor Ishmael, along. After I forbade her from feeding her those awful dishes after we achieved our goal, that idiot from the End joined us too."

"Qianjie's wish to fight her will probably be fulfilled soon."

"Wendy? I remember you were planning to bring a Wendy over?"

Jiuxiao thought of a certain cheerful wind girl who was always nowhere to be seen—

"That one wasn't so hard to win over—I bribed her on the spot with a whole container of frozen ice cream, and she agreed to work 8-hour shifts, available whenever I called..."

Miss Snow gave Jiuxiao a thumbs-up, looking like she could say, "You can trust me with my work..."

"Ah... I have a feeling that something unexpected will happen later on—"

"No problem. I've already discussed it with them. As long as the goal is achieved, the rest of us who were in charge of causing trouble will immediately run away to another world to take refuge for two or three years..."

Miss Snow, having made up her mind, decided to transform into Snow Runaway on the spot and run away for two or three years after she finished.

"...Just treat it as a vacation?"

"That's right, let's treat it as a vacation..."

As the elevator ascended further from the ground, the landscape gradually blurred. The two could only make out the occasional glimmers of golden patterns on the planet's surface, a testament to the approaching end of Project Destiny...

"Speaking of which, did you bring any food?"

"I didn't bring it, why?"

"Even if Yang and Joyce intentionally try to guide and remind them... I don't think they'll be able to get up before dark—so, we probably won't be able to execute that smooth-talking, fight-and-run-to-eat-dinner routine..."

"Oh... I'll call Alicia and Wendy and ask them to bring some food over..."

"Remember to order some good food—a picnic on the moon or something, it sounds like a lot of fun."

"Okay, okay, it's delicious."

Jiuxiao nodded helplessly...

--

Just as Snow and Jiuxiao were contemplating which side of the moon to choose as their picnic campsite, chaos erupted within the headquarters of Destiny...

What happened?!

This was the only question on the minds of all those who were still able to move—looking at the golden cocoons with human-shaped outlines scattered around them, everyone's face was full of question marks.

"Can you get in touch with Snow?"

Theresa looked at Bronya beside her, her head spinning.

"I'm sorry, Dean, I haven't been able to get through to Sister Snow on the phone since just now..."

"What about Grandpa?!"

"Mr. Otto said he didn't know what happened... He stayed in the kitchen all morning making delicious food for Sister Karen... He didn't come out at all."

"We can't contact the other branches either?"

"It seems so... Bronya just connected to the surveillance systems of all the branches and discovered this phenomenon of humans forming cocoons..."

Bronya nodded, then, seeing Theresa looking somewhat bewildered, offered a word of advice—

"Dean, I think it would be best to gather everyone we can contact now to discuss the current situation..."

"Yes! Bronya, could you please announce over the loudspeaker that everyone who is still able to move around should come to the bishop's office?"

"I'll go check Snow's office first to see if there are any clues. I have a feeling this big problem is something Snow himself created..."

In a sense, Dean, you weren't wrong about what came from...

Bronya muttered to herself and hurried towards the broadcasting room...

【But Snow, you've really pulled off something big!——】

*晚

*The side stories I plan to write will be either "Honkai Impact 3rd" (parallel world) or "Railway".

*Votes!*

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 526 "I'm such a big Gretchen!"—Kosmo

"I'm sure everyone here already has a clear understanding of the seriousness of the current situation."

Theresa placed her hands on the bishop's desk, looking seriously at the people who had entered the office.

As expected, it was mostly acquaintances and friends: Kiana and her sister, Bronya and Raiden Mei, Rita, Grandpa Otto and Grandma Kallen, as well as the thirteen heroes from the previous civilization whom Snow had somehow picked up... and a few guests from the Sea of ​​Quanta...

"Um... what happened? Why is it so quiet at Fate today?"

Of course, not everyone had grasped the current situation—Browny, who had battled Bronya all night in front of the PS4, couldn't keep up as long as Bronya, who was now one of the Ultimate Lifeforms. He was now looking at the group in front of him, somewhat drowsy...

"Bronya thinks Brownie should lie down and take a nap over there..."

Looking at Bronny's face, which screamed "I want to cultivate immortality and have boundless magical power," Bronya's lips twitched...

"Okay—Brownie's going to bed. Tell me when you're done discussing it."

Brownie greeted everyone and then flopped straight down on the sofa and started snoring.

"Hmm... Do I need to explain the current situation to the rest of them?"

Theresa glanced at the remaining group whispering amongst themselves and tentatively asked...

"Little Theresa—you should explain the situation... Most of us are completely confused too..."

Otto shook his head at Theresa, indicating that they should start by exchanging what they already knew...

"Indeed, some people have been holed up in their labs for almost a month without coming out—"

Velvi glanced somewhat mockingly at Dr. Möbius, a man with dark circles under his eyes who wished to remain anonymous...

"I guess she doesn't even know what's going on outside—after all, even Miss End's destruction of the house only caused minor damage to her lab."

"Likewise—when I'm holed up in the lab, I don't know anything, do I—Vilvie?"

"If the engineering lab hadn't been vandalized by that white-haired guy, you and I would still be stuck here until now—"

Mebius glanced at Vervies in front of him with annoyance, as if they were evenly matched.

"Ahem...Alright, stop arguing. Let Miss Theresa explain the current situation..."

Eden coughed lightly a few times, interrupting the argument between the two people in front of him...

"Then I'll be frank—I can boldly assert that human civilization as a whole is currently paralyzed."

“Before everyone arrived at the office, Bronya and I used Snow’s bishop privileges to check the current surveillance footage of each branch. They were all showing as online, but no one could respond to our inquiries.”

“By accessing the surveillance of their branch, we can see these same golden cocoons now in various positions at headquarters... and after I made a deep access to Snow’s computer in the office, I saw scenes on streets all over the world.”

"The situation across the world is currently much the same as what the Destiny Branch is experiencing—"

Theresa projected images and photographs from various locations onto the crowd... beaches, roadsides, colleges, industrial areas... these golden, magical creations could be seen everywhere...

"Hmm... Could this be a new Herrscher attack?"

Kiana looked at the seemingly calm but actually chaotic scenes projected on the screen, scenes whose impact was no less than that of sudden riots around the world, and made a bold guess...
