It turns out that the answer was already revealed during her casual conversation with Alicia back then!

PS: After Mei emerged from Paradise—

Kevin: "Raiden Mei, you're back. How was it? Did you find the answer you were looking for in the Musicians of the Past?"

Mei: "In this shattered paradise, I swear to her and to them that no matter the cost, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai!"

Kevin: "?? What are you talking about?"

Mei: "I don't want to waste too much time on this topic. You're not qualified to know the answer yet."

Kevin: "??"

Chapter 374 That's why he's called the Herald of Man...

[That's true, maybe... I really did tell a huge lie, the only lie in my life.]

After all... I get scared too.

[...I wonder how I performed? What will everyone think of me? ...Judging from their reactions, the result should be good, right?]

Otherwise, Alicia wouldn't exist in the Paradise of the Past...

Thank you, Mei. I'm so lucky to have met you this way. You gave me... a gift I've always longed for but never dared to ask for.

……

These are... the words that Alicia said on the night before she disappeared.

Looking back now... Mei finally understands.

"So... Alicia..."

"...She was never the [Thirteenth Herrscher], was she?"

Eden smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, [thirteen] is a false number."

She told the world a lie, just so that, on her deathbed, she could tell the truth to those she loved.

“Miss Mei, I’m so glad… in the end, you found the answer yourself.”

"This is what you've been seeking all this time, the final secret buried beneath the paradise of the past..."

"The second of the Moths of Flame, Alicia, the one with the inscription of 'True Self,' this girl who deeply loves all people..."

"She was born a [Herrscher]."

……

It's so...

Players understood it, but at the same time, more questions arose.

Why is Alicia's Herrscher armor named "Herrscher of Man" in the promotional PV?

Why was the original Lawgiver called the "Lawgiver of Man"?

What are her legal powers?

Kiana was equally curious about the questions raised in the live chat.

Just then, Mei walked over carrying her fairy Airi.

Seeing this, Kiana happily took the fairy Airi from Mei's arms.

"Ah~ lovely human, I've finally found you~"

The highly intelligent fairy Airi greeted Kiana.

Kiana was already used to this kind of situation.

But the viewers in the live stream were anything but calm.

Although they had known for a long time that miHoYo had a very intelligent fairy named [Aili].

But they never expected it to be this intelligent.

Could it be... that Fairy Airi's eyes have facial recognition capabilities? Does it automatically trigger these greeting messages when Kiana is photographed?

……

Please, miHoYo... sell a batch of Fairy Airi, please... waaaaah...

Seeing Kiana and Fairy Airi all lovey-dovey is more painful than killing me, sob sob sob...

……

Seeing these kinds of comments made Kiana extremely proud.

"Hehe~ This is a perk unique to our miHoYo employees 々〃 ~"

"The boss said that the Fairy Ellie doll will absolutely not be mass-produced and sold, so give up on that idea~"

Such a response naturally resulted in another round of groans and lamentations in the live chat.

However, Kiana's words displeased the fairy Airi in her arms:

"Fairy Airi isn't a doll at all~"

"I already told you, I'm a fairy from the Land of Celestial Music~~ I know magic, you know~"

Her adorable and incredibly fluent answers only made her even more endearing.

Kiana felt her heart melting.

What's more, she had just experienced the ending in the game where the fairy Ellie might also disappear, so now she was even more enamored with the fairy Ellie.

So cute~~

After absorbing a surge of Fairy Airi's energy, Kiana sat back down, placed Fairy Airi on her lap, and gave Fairy Airi a head-cushioning wave.

Just as Kiana was thinking of continuing to advance the plot, she suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to look at Mei.

"By the way, Mei, why is Alicia's Herrscher armor named 'Herrscher of Humanity'?"

"And what are her powers?"

This sudden problem caught Mei completely off guard.

However, she quickly understood after seeing the progress of the story in the game.

After a moment's thought, Mei decided to give a little spoiler.

It's not really a spoiler, is it?

At this stage of the story, it's time for players to know everything.

"As for why it's named 'The Herald of Humanity,' you can figure out the deeper meaning for yourselves."

"However... as everyone probably already knows—among the Herrschers of the previous civilization, apart from Alicia, the rest were devoid of humanity."

Kiana nodded.

Mei continued to explain, "Then why do Herrschers of this era frequently side with humanity?"

"You see, even a virus like the Herrscher of Corruption has a human side."

Kiana quickly pressed, "Why?"

Fairy Airi chimed in at the opportune moment: "Yeah~ Why is that~?"

Upon hearing the voice of the fairy Airi, Mei was slightly taken aback before smiling softly.

Ellie the fairy is so intelligent and so cute.

She was just like a well-behaved and adorable daughter; even when she wanted to strike up a conversation, she would choose the perfect moment.

She can chat normally with people without being noisy.

"...Because, at the final [banquet], Alicia sacrificed her own life to sow the seeds of [humanity] for future Herrschers."

"In other words, the Herrscher of Reason, Mei, Kiana, and Shiki of this century, after becoming Herrschers, still stood on the side of humanity... Alicia deserves much of the credit."

This point will be mentioned in the main storyline later.

But it was only mentioned briefly.

If you're not paying close attention to the plot, you might miss it.

"However, before Alicia died, she didn't know if her ideas would succeed... She also wasn't sure if future Herrschers would stand on the side of humanity as she had."

"That's also because...she seemed so happy when Alicia first met Mei."

"It's not entirely because Mei is beautiful; more so because of her identity as a [Herrscher] who fights for humanity."

……

After hearing Mei's explanation, the chat room fell silent.

Kiana was also stunned and deeply moved.

I still remember when she was just starting out in the Paradise storyline, Alicia's frequent "flirting" with Mei... At that time, she was quite jealous.

Now that she understands everything, Kiana only feels... I really deserve to die (Zhao Hao).

At the same time, the players' minds were filled with the "confession" that Alicia had said to Mei the night before she disappeared—
