I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

When energy is below 50%: Ready for battle? Yeah, good luck! I've done some preparations for you... This is one of the few things I can do... (Character's energy is restored to maximum)

……

When both health and energy are below 50%: Don't you want to rest for a bit? You don't seem to be in very good shape... Okay, I know. You won't stop here, just like we used to, so... well, I'll help you, as long as you don't despise my meager strength. (Character's health and energy restored to maximum)

……

When possessing the Core Imprint II of the Annihilation Imprint: Another battle...? Hmm? It's the power of a thousand tribulations... Hmm, don't worry~ Although it feels dangerous, he's actually a very gentle person... (The Bloodstained Prison Robe immediately reaches its maximum level)

[Evidence of Remembrance]:

Gift of Dawn [★★]: A small terminal containing a photograph taken by Sakura: Xi Wang sings for Eden in the light rain, and the morning light shines through the rain clouds and falls on him, as if draping him in a shimmering robe of light.

—Eden, look, the sky has cleared up!

……

Effect: The probability of encountering the teleportation anchor point corresponding to the [Changge] imprint is greatly increased.

------

Gift to the Stars [★★★]: A simple recording device containing a video recorded by Gretchen: Xiwang stands on the stage, performing with a group of fusion warriors. The video shows the audience's joyful smiles and hears their happy laughter. The stars twinkle under the clear night sky, just like them at this moment.

—Kevin, sing already! Don't be shy! Everyone's waiting for you!

……

Effect: When the [Long Song] imprint is selected, its initial level increases by 1. When [Core Imprint 1] is available, the interval between [Measure] triggered notes is shortened to 4 seconds; when [Core Imprint 2] is available, the duration of all "continuous buff notes" is increased by an additional 5 seconds.

------

Gift to the World [★★★★]: A complex projection device, repaired by Velvet and kept by Eden. Activating it projects a three-dimensional image: Xiwang stands on a lunar base, singing for the seemingly near yet unattainable blue planet. His melodious voice flows through the silent universe, the intangible music transforming into tangible notes. Flowers bloom beneath him, and stars twinkle around him.

The scene was like something out of a fairy tale... but in the end, the image froze on the moment when "glory" enveloped Xiwang's figure.

—Rain, oh rain, please stop!

……

效果：选择【长歌】的刻印时其初始等级增加1级。充能达到600时，可释放技能使出战女武神获得50%全伤害提升、50%物理/元素伤害提升、30%物理/元素伤害穿透、每秒回复生命/能量上限的1%，持续10秒，持续时间结束后，损失当前生命的99%。

Energy Recharge Method: Upon entering combat, gain 10 energy points per second. For each imprint other than [Changge], gain an additional 10 energy points ([Golden] and [Moment] imprints grant 20 energy points).

------

A gift for my beloved [★★★★★]: A stack of musical pieces, some finished and some unfinished, mixed with some treasured pale pink cherry blossom petals and dusky yellow maple leaves... and a note from Xi Wang, which reads, "May life never cease, may we never stop moving forward; may the future still exist, may hope still remain; may communication... overcome suspicion."

—I love you all, it's so wonderful to have met you all~

……

Effect: For each level cleared, randomly increase the level of one owned Imprint by 1 (prioritizing unupgraded Imprints). If the Imprint is [Gold] or [Moment], then increase the level by 2. When the charge reaches 600, you can choose one Imprint (including [True Self] Imprint and [Shop] Imprint) and reset all portals on the field, ensuring that one of them will be the selected Imprint portal. Once equipped, the Memory Token or Support Valkyrie cannot be changed again.

Energy charging method: 50 energy points are obtained for each level cleared, and an additional 10 energy points are obtained for each [Imprint] (20 energy points are obtained for the [Changge], [Golden], and [Shana] imprints).

Epilogue: A Song That Remains Unchanged Through the Ages (6980)

"Humph~?"

It is a gentle song of dawn.

Skadi's gentle voice followed, harmonizing with his.

They are blood relatives, closely connected blood relatives, and therefore will never be separated... Skadi will never leave.

She will protect her blood relatives.

and so……

chap——

The singing stopped abruptly, and the calm in his eyes was instantly filled with danger and vigilance. With a casual wave of his hand, a deep blue greatsword appeared out of thin air, drawing a water blade like a wave as it rushed towards a certain direction.

Alas—

Fear, apprehension, and cowering sobs followed.

"Don't hit me...don't hit me...I...I didn't come here to cause trouble..."

"........."

Skadi didn't speak, but her eyes grew increasingly dangerous.

She... is about to begin the [hunt].

She will never let her blood relatives be harmed again.

She will protect her blood relatives.

"It's alright, [blood relatives]."

Xiwang gently stopped Skadi and said softly.

"Go ahead, it's alright."

Hmm... um...

Its tone was somewhat hesitant, and it lingered in the shadows, as if it were afraid of something.

"It's alright, come on, [Blood relative] won't hurt you."

Thank you...

It hesitated for a moment, but finally came out. Its small body had long, straight black hair as black as the night sky, and eyes as blue as the sea. Its white gothic dress with red spots swayed gently, and it wore delicate black leather boots that made a crisp sound when it stepped on the ground. It wore a small black top hat and looked quite elegant.

It was like a shy and flustered noble lady meeting strangers for the first time... Well, unfortunately, its body was too small, like a doll.

No, it's a "doll" now.

"How...how did you use this body?"

[Because...because this body is the only one without a master...and you assembled it, and you designed the clothes, so...so I think that if I appear before you in this form, you'll be...more accepting of me...]

It gently twisted its skirt, appearing very nervous, as if trying to explain something, but in the end, its voice weakened.

"Would...would this make you more willing to accept me, senior...?"

"I see, it seems my skills are still lacking..."

Xiwang reached out and poked its little face, and it didn't dare to resist (Skadi: stare—), and could only obediently stand in place.

"However, since you find it useful, then take it. Hmm... As for me, I actually prefer you to see me as you are, right?"

But... my original appearance... was ugly...

"It's okay, I don't care."

Xi Wang smiled and reached out to rub its little head.

"And...I prefer children who are more honest, okay?"

[Ugh... ugh...]

It hesitated for a moment, but eventually closed its eyes. After a blurry, chaotic light, the doll-like body collapsed softly, leaving behind a strange... "creature".

"That's wonderful, such a brave and good child... Ah..."

Xiwang didn't seem to mind at all, and her expression didn't change much. She just gently touched the part that belonged to its head. However, at this moment, Xiwang's hand also covered some messed icons.

Skadi's dangerous gaze swept over instantly, and it quickly retreated a few steps.

I'm sorry...senpai...I shouldn't have let you get so close to me...

It tried to explain, wanting to show its friendliness to Xiwang and Skadi, just like trying to show its elders that it was a "well-behaved" child.

I... I still can't control my power... I unconsciously want to copy myself... I'm sorry...

"...Is that so? It seems I haven't tried hard enough. The power of the [Song] isn't obvious enough in you."

Xi Wang's gaze lingered on his disheveled hands for a moment, then he laughed, letting the tiny blue "swimming fish" around him approach, gather, and envelop his hands... After a while, his hands returned to normal.

Well, at least it looks like it's recovered.

Skadi was still staring at it, her eyes filled with a dangerous look... But soon, Xiwang gently tugged at Skadi's sleeve, drawing her gaze back to herself, and then gently shook her head at her.

"I'm fine, [blood relative]."

"……Um."

Skadi hesitated for a long time before nodding and no longer looking at it.

"So... what brings you here?"

Um... I... I just wanted to see you, senior... and... thank you a little.
