After helping Siegfried and Cheng Lixue to the wall, Cecilia approached Sirin.
Looking at the downcast girl, Cecilia hugged Sirin from behind.
Sirin's body trembled violently when she was hugged, but she did not struggle free, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Elysia, it seems your guess was correct; the Herrscher Core indeed affects the Herrscher themselves." Welt looked at the three gems in his hand.
"It's also possible that the God has been influencing her," Elysia said, shaking her head.
"So what should we do now?" Welt asked, handing the gem to Elysia and sighing as he looked at the crying girl.
Elysia picked up a feather that had fallen to the side.
"Now, of course, we'll delete a part of her memory," Elysia said, holding the Feather Crossing the Dust and approaching Sirin.
"Don't come closer, don't come closer..." Sirin immediately widened her eyes, filled with terror, as she saw Elysia approaching her again.
Cecilia also looked up at Elysia, her gaze seemingly asking Elysia what she had done to make Sirin so afraid.
"I shouldn't have done anything to scare her, right?" Elysia said after a moment of thought.
Looking at the Feather Crossing the Dust in her hand, Elysia infused her power into it, and the feather's color changed accordingly.
Looking at the Feather Crossing the Dust, whose color was similar to her hair, Elysia activated its power, causing everyone around her to temporarily overlook her.
Only then did she approach Sirin, and by the time Sirin noticed her, the Feather Crossing the Dust had already appeared before Sirin's eyes.
As the Feather Crossing the Dust emitted fluctuations, Elysia entered Sirin's mental world.
Looking at the little girl who had locked herself in a cage, Elysia slowly walked to the cage.
"Why don't you come out?" Elysia asked gently, looking at Sirin inside the cage.
"Because if I go out, people will bully me," the little girl said, hugging her legs and sitting on the floor of the cage.
"But it's not good to keep running away like this, is it?" Elysia had, at some point, passed through the cage and walked to Sirin's side.
"Big sister, I hate the outside world," Sirin said, looking up at Elysia.
"So, you gave your body to another you?" Elysia also sat down, across from Sirin.
"Yes, because God said that another me would live well in my place, and another me wouldn't let me be bullied," Sirin said softly.
"Big sister, how is the other me doing now?"
"The other you? Why don't you go out and see for yourself?" Elysia pointed to a door that had appeared at some point.
"Look, the cage has already opened itself. Why don't you go out and see?"
Sirin looked at the open cage but only shook her head. "Big sister, I don't want to go out. It's quite good in here."
"Is that so? Then, would you like to see what the outside you has experienced?" Elysia smiled and stroked Sirin's hair.
"No."
"Honestly, children should be more energetic." Elysia directly used the Feather Crossing the Dust to play the records of the illusion within it.
Elysia had only just learned about this record.
(Referring to Sirin's happy birthday, details in the manga)
Although Sirin said she didn't want to watch, Elysia still noticed her head subtly lifting a bit.
"Although it's another you, just watching this memory is still quite boring." Elysia extended her finger and touched Sirin's forehead.
"So, why not experience it yourself?" she said with a musical lilt.
Before long, a different expression appeared in Sirin's eyes.
"How about it? Do you want to go out and see your mother?" she asked with a musical lilt.
"That's not my mother..." Sirin whispered.
"But right now, your mother is protecting you. You can clearly feel it; you're in your mother's embrace right now!" she said with a musical lilt.
Sirin's body suddenly trembled, and then drops of tears slowly fell to the ground.
"How about it? Let's go out together!" Elysia extended her hand to Sirin.
After a moment of hesitation, Sirin took Elysia's outstretched hand.
In reality, Elysia opened her eyes first.
"How is she?" Cecilia asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, she'll wake up in a bit. After all, she's kept her heart closed for too long," Elysia said with a smile.
"Sirin's Herrscher personality..." Elysia looked at the Feather Crossing the Dust in her hand, then placed it on Sirin's forehead, and the feather slowly melted into Sirin's head.
"I deleted a part of her memory. This way, she should be able to live the life of an ordinary girl." Elysia sighed in relief after completing all the operations.
"Thank you, Elysia," Cecilia said softly, holding Sirin and expressing her gratitude to Elysia.
"You're welcome. Such a cute child is better off being carefree," Elysia said, shaking her head as she looked at the still unconscious Sirin.
"However, we still need to remove the Herrscher of Death's Core from her body later, as it's not hers," Elysia said, looking at the robots running towards them in the distance.
"Elysia, what about the Herrscher of the Void's Core?" Welt asked.
"The Herrscher of the Void's Core is inherently this child's. It's her authority and cannot be removed."
"Besides, aren't you ashamed to take things from a child, as the leader of Anti-Entropy?"
With that, Elysia tossed the gem in her hand to Welt.
"These three gems, and the Death Herrscher's gem, I have no objection to how you and Schicksal divide them, but the Herrscher of the Void's Core belongs to this child."
"I understand. Regarding this child's upbringing..." Welt had just brought up the matter.
"I will raise her well," Cecilia said.
Welt was silent for a moment. "I trust the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal. I hope you can raise her well, and train her to become a Valkyrie who fights against Honkai."
"As for whether she wants to become a Valkyrie, let's wait until she's older," Cecilia said gently, stroking Sirin's hair. "Furthermore, her life should be her own choice."
After looking at Cecilia for a while, Welt sighed. He could tell that Cecilia, the strongest Valkyrie, was serious.
"I hope she doesn't turn against Honkai again." After saying that, Welt walked to the edge, looking at Einstein who had arrived.
"Leader, the serum is ready," Einstein said, handing a vial of medicine to Welt.
Welt only nodded, then tossed the medicine to Elysia. "Elysia, the rest is up to you."
Elysia looked at the serum in her hand and immediately injected it into Sirin's arm.
After ensuring Sirin would not wake up yet, Elysia placed her hand over Sirin's chest.
Because Elysia herself possessed the Death Herrscher's gem, she was very familiar with the one inside Sirin.
Before long, a gem appeared in Elysia's hand.
There was not a single wound on Sirin's body.
Placing the gem on the ground, Elysia sighed in relief.
"Oh, right, Sister Cecilia, Sirin's little servant is still under the laboratory. Remember to bring her back later, otherwise, Sirin will be sad," Elysia said to Cecilia.
"Wait, do you mean you're just going to leave?" Theresa quickly asked.
"Of course! I've been here long enough. If I don't go back, the people who care about me will be worried," Elysia said with a smile.
"Mr. Welt, Theresa, and Sister Cecilia, I hope we'll have a chance to meet again!" she said with a musical lilt.
After speaking, Elysia jogged to the edge of the laboratory, then turned and fell backward.
Theresa quickly ran over, only to see some purple butterflies flying in all directions.
