Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Elysia dodged the wave of attacks. She really hadn't expected someone to be able to directly control the Elysian Realm and create something like this.

"How could you attack such a beautiful girl?! ♪~"

Elysia hadn't expected Noldrei to be so ruthless. He truly lived up to his reputation as the man who would declare a naked pony manifesto.

Noldrei, in turn, uninstalled the personal mod he had on himself. He was just a little curious about how this Elysian Realm thing worked, and he hadn't expected to actually be able to do it.

This place was indeed like the Matrix, just re-architected by imaginary space.

"I'm not interested in beautiful girls. Do you want to become one of Academy City's little ponies? I've thought it over. After I get all your people out, I'll turn the Elysian Realm into a new Pony Paradise."

Noldrei enthusiastically explained his future plans for the Elysian Realm.

Unfortunately, Elysia didn't quite understand. The members of World Serpent who had visited the Elysian Realm had never shown any interest in discussing anime from the outside world.

Thinking of this, Elysia couldn't help but wonder what exactly this "little pony" Noldrei was talking about.

"Hey, you've been talking about little ponies for so long, what are they exactly? Can you show me? ♪~"

The girl had a flirtatious and artificial way of speaking, but Noldrei didn't care about that. This was the first time he had met someone in real life who would openly discuss little ponies with him.

Although many people online claimed to love little ponies, when Noldrei proposed establishing a Little Pony United Guild, they all promptly chickened out. They didn't seem to dare to openly admit they liked such things, and he had no idea what the people behind the screens were really thinking.

"Oh? You want to know too? I have many memories about little ponies stored in my head. If you want to see them, I can manifest them right now."

Noldrei was overjoyed. He walked up and grabbed the girl's arm, wanting to show her the establishment of the Pony Continent.

Elysia didn't mind her arm being held. She pointed to the device in the center of the hall and said, "Look, that's where the memory imprints are stored. If you can manifest and save your memories there, the pony kingdom you dream of might just be recreated."

The girl was equally enthusiastic. She had never expected a visitor who was neither bitter and vengeful nor burdened with a heavy mission. Instead, the first thing he thought of after coming in was the little ponies that made him happy.

It was clear that this person must be a positive and optimistic warrior. Elysia liked this kind of younger generation human.

As a senior, she naturally had to take a good look at what the pony kingdom in her junior's memories looked like.

The two hit it off immediately, completely forgetting what the Elysian Realm was for. They decided to first go and study the new look of the Pony Continent.

Elysia taught Noldrei how to access his memories. Only then could this giant device be used to experience the memories in a digitized reality.

This wasn't difficult for Noldrei at all. It was a piece of cake, as he had done many similar things in the Kaslana Stigma Space that Kiana controlled.

The only difference was that one was a Stigma formed from the genetic information of the entire Academy City, while this was just a device left behind by the Previous Era to store memory imprints.

As the two of them entered Noldrei's memory world through the memory recall device, a few figures appeared in the hall, moving like ghosts.

They looked at each other, completely unsure what kind of dramatic change this development would bring.

"Are we just going to ignore them?"

A cat-eared girl voiced the question from the depths of her heart. She had never seen such an absurd plot development.

Why? Why did he want to turn Elysia into his little pony after coming in?

Why? Why did he want to take Elysia to see the story of some Pony Continent?

And why? Why did Elysia agree to it without any hesitation?

Too many "whys" were hidden in the depths of the girl's questions.

This kind of thing shouldn't have happened here. Especially since the operation of the Elysian Realm was already becoming more and more chaotic. Whether it could continue to exist was a big question.

That was precisely why Kevin had tried to bring in talented individuals from the Current Era for everyone to see.

Now, they hadn't seen any "talented individuals," but this being, who didn't even look human, was able to tamper with the contents of the Golden Courtyard so casually.

If he had come here to obtain something, that would be one thing. But Noldrei's only obsessions were nudity and little ponies. He didn't seem like a serious person at all.

"Sakura, what are you all looking at? Where's Aponia? Why haven't I seen her? Eden, say something! Aren't you Ely's best friend? Why are you just watching?"

The cat-girl, Pardofelis, had probably been here for so long that she never imagined something like this would happen. She seemed a little timid and flustered.

The older sister-like figure called Eden crossed her arms with a helpless look on her face. "Even if you ask me, Aponia would just tell you, 'He's just like this, you can't stop him. Since it's already like this, why not give it a try? How much worse can it get?' Just calm down and wait for news, Pardo."

Pardofelis couldn't help but complain, "Isn't that just completely giving up? It doesn't sound like she has any fighting spirit at all. Doesn't Aponia love to speak in profound riddles? Why is she so easy to understand this time?! Shouldn't we be worried about Elysia's safety?"

"Then you should explain the situation carefully to Kalpas. I think since Kevin brought him in, he must have had his reasons," Eden could only trust Aponia and the Kevin outside at this point.

As for this Noldrei, who didn't seem like a normal person at all, it was best to just treat him as a talented individual with a rather peculiar way of thinking.

Sakura was silent for a long time, then asked Hua, "Hua, what do you think?"

Hua was also silent for a long time. How would she know what to think? She was just an honest person who usually practiced her martial arts. How would she know what these people were thinking?

Maybe Elysia had her own ideas?

At this moment, Hua was actually more curious to see what the world inside Noldrei's memories looked like.

However, in the world of Noldrei's memories, things did not develop in the direction Elysia had imagined. In fact, they became exceptionally strange and bizarre.

The two of them were standing in the Pony Kingdom, or more accurately...

One person and one pony.

Elysia looked down at her pony body, a question mark popping up over her head.

She had originally thought Noldrei's "little pony" was some kind of teasing or flirting, but... it was real?

"How is it? Fluttershy, don't you just love it here?"

Noldrei pointed to the sky, where a giant moon with Sirin's head was hanging.

It was Nightmare Moon, hung in the sky by Princess Celestia.
