You could see it clearly now!
There stood a goddess of breathtaking beauty, with sandy blonde hair. Her locks were a striking contrast of light and dark shades.
Steampunk aesthetics, mechanical motifs, contradictions and spirals, distortions and perfect order.
It seemed chaotic at a glance, yet held an indescribable charm.
The aura of an Aeon was on full display.
Vivid cards swirled around her form.
Each and every one of those cards was her—her personalities, her fragments.
Mystical yet sci-fi.
Bizarre yet spectacular.
It was still just a dynamic Live2D, but it captured the essence of the Empyrean God of Spirals perfectly.
She seemed almost within reach.
Yet in reality, even exhausting all means, she remained untouchable.
"This is…"
"The Aeon of Helix…"
No matter how many times they saw it, the awe never faded.
Different Aeons, different Paths, different concepts and auras, standing out like the brightest colors in the darkest night.
It was hard to imagine how that uploader managed to capture the divine visage of such a higher-dimensional being, making it feel so incredibly real.
Even the existence of the Sky Screen itself remained shrouded in mystery.
They had accepted it, grown accustomed to it.
But that didn't mean they stopped wondering about it.

[Alrighty~]
[That's all for this episode's chat. Don't go away now, because right after this, it's time for the extra chapter!]
--+--
Time slipped by quietly.
It wasn't until the voice of Miss Yuzu sounded again from the Sky Screen video that everyone snapped out of their daze, as if waking from a dream.
They all looked up.
Chibi Yuzu and Chibi Klee were waving goodbye, cute as can be.
--+--
[And that's a wrap!]
[This episode's review of Lady Vill-V is now complete, so this series is officially finished~]
[Once the next extra chapter is done, I'll announce the upcoming update schedule for everyone~]
[Look forward to it~]

"She's still such a tease!"
"She's got me hooked so bad, she has to take responsibility!"
"If I could marry Sister Yuzu, I'd be willing to do it even if it meant feasting on delicacies, living in a beachside villa, and being worth billions!"
"Get outta here with your greedy demands!"
"Sister Yuzu, I don't know how I'd live without you, Sister Yuzu!"
The Sky Screen screen briefly went black.
And all across the world, many people began howling like ghosts and wailing like wolves.
Whining offline.
And making an even bigger racket online.
Of course!
Not everyone had that kind of free time.
Many people, especially think tanks from various countries, organization advisors, and other specialized personnel—those who had been taking notes earlier—were now even more frantically busy compiling information, gathering data, and consolidating ideas.
Any analysis, any trains of thought, needed to be submitted quickly!
Whether good or bad, useful or not, even if they were far-fetched or utterly ridiculous, it didn't matter.
They weren't picky.
It's worth mentioning that soliciting public impressions and thoughts on the Sky Screen wasn't anything new anymore.
If anyone had any ideas, any guesses, even just a fleeting spark of inspiration without any basis, they were welcome to share them.
If your idea got adopted, there was a cash reward.
Hence, the public was quite enthusiastic about it.
There was even one impoverished teenager who proposed a highly plausible theory, received the reward, and got the money he needed to continue his studies, solving his most urgent problem.
You could even say that.
The establishment of the related wiki's database wasn't just thanks to the efforts of various countries and organizations; it also benefited from the active participation of many ordinary people globally.
Like this time.
Vill-V's video had revealed a bunch of fresh new information.
There were still plenty of points worth digging into, even during this brief waiting period of ten or twenty minutes.
Many people were already brainstorming furiously.
Meanwhile, on the villa balcony.
Mobius looked at Kiana with great amusement.
"My dear little one, what do you think… how many more sweethearts do you have waiting in the wings?"
Elysia looked at Kiana.
Eden did too.
Sakura and Rin did too.
Even though they'd known it was inevitable, with the Sky Screen exposés meaning the future was sure to be full of them, they still couldn't help but stare at her right now.
They didn't say anything, yet it felt like everything had been said.
Even Vill-V, her Original Self, was sneaking glances at Kiana, looking quite shy.
Only Aponia remained serene and unruffled, sipping her tea.
Mama Kiana watched on with a smile, looking quite pleased.
Hah~
Did Kiana fear them?
Not a chance!
"The more, the merrier!" Kiana declared righteously.
Little sister Rin was utterly stunned.
She couldn't help but start clapping rapidly.
"Can you even handle that, little one?" Mobius deliberately looked Kiana up and down, then let out a disdainful laugh.
Elysia rushed over, grabbed Kiana's cheeks, and began vigorously squishing them, puffing her cheeks in mock anger.
She didn't really want to feel resentful.
But who told Kiana to be so infuriating?!
Just looking at her made Elysia want to bully her mercilessly.
Besides…
Elysia didn't understand what was wrong with herself.
Logically, the more girls who liked Kiana, the more 'flowers' she'd get to enjoy.
According to her usual nature, shouldn't she be happy about this?
So why…
Did she feel somewhat annoyed?
"Jyahnar…"
Especially when she couldn't help but think: She was clearly the Origin, and Kiana was clearly Finality, so where did this companion Honkai Beast come from?
"Kiana."
"Hmm?"
"How much longer until that 'Honkai Beast companion' of yours comes looking for you?"
Elysia suddenly asked.
The other girls were all very interested in this question too.
Kiana thought about it, "Shouldn't be too much longer, right?"
Based on what the system could currently show of the future, Jyahnar had basically already appeared.
Anything closer than that was currently a blur.
But since she's entered this 'too-close-to-see-clearly' range, it probably wouldn't be too long now.
So Kiana answered accordingly, same as before.
Of course, no one was particularly satisfied with that answer.
Elysia took her frustration out on Kiana's cheeks for a good while longer, only letting go after the Sky Screen started up again.
That's right.
The brief intermission passed in the blink of an eye.
The Sky Screen began displaying images once more.
--+--
[Ciallo~]
[Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night, dear viewers~!]
--+--
The familiar opening lines.
Then, just like last time, the review footage occupied the entire screen, with only the lower right corner showing the anime-style Miss Yuzu, ready to provide commentary.
No beating around the bush.
The title was clearly written across the Sky Screen.
Visible from every angle, every location.

[Complete Inventory of the Young Lady's Current Harem · Final Part]
[—Covering the World of Teyvat and the Honkai: Star Rail Universe]

"It's here, it's here, it's here!"
"It really is the world of Genshin and the Star Rail universe!"
"It's the world where our precious Klee is!"
"Aeons, Paths, awesome! Please introduce more about them!"
Viewers all over the world buzzed with discussion, their excitement palpable.
"Bet you anything! If they aren't Pathstriders, the Young Lady won't want them!"
"I'd say the minimum requirement is probably being an Emanator, okay!"
"Exactly, don't forget the Young Lady's skills—she can just take the 'backdoor' route! How scary is that!"
"Young Lady, please come take my backdoor!"
"Abomination!"
The conversation quickly went off the rails.
Please, Sky Screen, hurry up and add a bullet comment function! Or at least a chat channel!
We want it! We really, really want it!
