Chapter 61: In the Name of Helix
[ "My name is 'The Conductor. Only when I am like this, am I truly myself, Vill-V." ]
"Pulling fresh flowers covered in dew from a hat, guessing the number whispered with a composed smile."
"The seed planted in the flowerpot sprouts the moment it's sown; can't figure it out, can't figure it out, is it magic or sorcery?"
A pair of jade-like legs clad in long boots gradually appeared on the screen. She took a step and walked slowly forward, while Elysia stood not far ahead of her.
The scene shifted, and Vill-V was seen holding a crystal-clear crystal flower, watching the front with a smile on her face.
[ "Let us wait and see, when all of me converge into a single Spiral." ]
On the screen, Vill-V tipped her hat upward and looked up at the sky with an expressionless face.
The scene changed again, and Vill-V was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, watching the front with a smile.
[ "The fifth of the Flame-Chasers, greetings to you~" ]
"The performer wearing a mask."
"She smiles and shakes hands politely, she hides firearms behind her back, the muzzle of her gun spitting flames."
On a massive stage, Vill-V placed one hand on her chest and the other behind her back, bowing forty-five degrees toward the front.
…
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Fu Xuan: She really is a very elegant person. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Why did she become like that before? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Yun Jin: This song actually sounds quite fitting for Xinyan. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xinyan: Hehe, let's rock! ]
…
[ "Listen, this is the roar of a miracle!" ]
"Arriving at the theater entrance she just passed, the mysterious scent makes one lose their composure."
Vill-V was seen sitting on a massive cannon, continuously firing at the Honkai beasts.
[ "Light the wooden lamps, the climax—is about to begin!" ]
Vill-V spread her arms wide, cheering loudly to the audience below as fireworks went off behind her.
[ "Open the curtains, this—will be grand beyond compare!" ]
In the scene, Vill-V summoned countless cannons, launching a relentless assault on the Honkai beasts before her, then performed a backflip and sat atop one of the cannons.
[ "Hahahahahahaha~ The torture, it begins!" ]
Vill-V, with an evil, charming smile, fired wildly at the nearby swarm of Honkai beasts.
As the scene transitioned, countless different hands snapped their fingers in succession.
…
[ Genshin Impact - Klee: Wow, this big sister is a bit scary! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Jean: Don't be afraid, Klee, I'm here! ]
At this moment, Jean came to Klee's side, picked her up, patted her little head, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, Klee, you can't cry when you grow up!"
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Aponia: My Discipline has never worked on her. That she became like this might be because of me. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kalpas: Hmph, my assessment is that she's an elegant lunatic. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Herta: Aren't all geniuses lunatics? And there are always sacrifices in experiments. ]
Herta was quite approving of Vill-V; she felt that necessary sacrifices for experiments were normal.
Just as some civilizations in the universe have evaluated: you can say the Genius Society is full of geniuses, but you can never say the Genius Society is full of good people.
…
[ "The next act is titled 'Uproar'!" ]
On stage, Vill-V spread her arms and bowed forty-five degrees to the audience once more.
[ "It's time to end this!" ]
A massive fireball was seen continuously spewing flames in all directions.
[ "Accept the name of the true Spiral!" ]
Vill-V was seen sitting atop a tall tower, looking down at the countless buildings below.
[ "After all—there won't be a show that never ends, right!" ]
"Let it be, let it all be, yet she still smiles elegantly."
"She smiles and shakes hands politely, look at her hiding firearms behind her back, the muzzle of her gun spitting flames."
Vill-V was seen on stage with her arms wide open, spinning continuously.
[ "Ah, let me learn from a villain for once! Farewell! My dearest audience!" ]
Immediately, Vill-V spread her arms and slowly fell backward, plummeting from the tower to the ground below.
[ "Just opening your heart is enough, and that is how it is now, my lovely audience~" ]
"Which 'her' is it, laughing and cursing?"
"Which 'her' is it, which 'her' is it, who is speaking now, which 'her' is it?"
Vill-V's tone gradually became extremely androgynous.
…
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Guinaifen: This voice gives me goosebumps all over. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Sushang: Yeah, her voice reminds me of an extremely unpleasant memory. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Kaedehara Kazuha: Perhaps this is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person. ]
Seeing Kaedehara Kazuha say this, Ratio, who was thinking about a problem on a planet, smiled, then looked up at the sky and said calmly: "The mediocre always disturb themselves."
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Bronya: Perhaps so. ]
…
[ "Unfortunately, I am not like the other Flame-Chasers you have met!" ]
Vill-V was seen slowly placing a finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture, then suddenly spreading her arms and laughing wildly.
[ "See you again? Heh You had better—pray that doesn't happen" ]
On the screen, Vill-V stood above a sea of flowers, looking up at the woman shrouded in moonlight.
[ "The end of the Spiral, which is also its origin!" ]
Countless fresh flowers suddenly burst out from a box.
[ "In the end, it returned to me, didn't it?" ]
Vill-V was seen putting down the book in her hand, raising one hand, and waving it with a smile on her face.
"She stands under the light, yet no one can see through her."
"The video ends here."
…
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Vill-V: Everything in the end returned to me after all. Fate truly cannot be changed. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuan Yong: Your fate was determined long ago; changing the future is merely stepping onto another unknown fate. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Ratio: Geniuses always contract the malady of overconfidence; at such times, the self-disturbance of the mediocre is needed. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Yaoyao: What are you all talking about? Ah, I don't understand. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Madame Ping: Yaoyao, you're still young, don't think too much, just play happily. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Nahida: Perhaps people are just like this; once they achieve something, they become proud and complacent, and then they fall into an endless abyss, unable to climb out. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Murata Himeko: Perhaps it is as you say, humans possess inherent flaws. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jing Yuan: That is why a doctor is needed at such times. ]
At this moment, people from the three worlds were lost in endless memories; in their history, there was no shortage of those who gradually walked toward self-destruction due to their own pride and complacency.
