Chapter 219

"Then tell me about other large-scale magic tricks," Bai Yan said with great interest.

"Well..." Vill-V stroked her chin thoughtfully, then held up one finger. "Magic is ultimately fake, so I haven't done any real magic in a long time. But this stage isn't a magic stage—by the way, you know you're the lead, right?"

"Hmm," Bai Yan nodded, "How about you be my assistant?"

Vill-V smiled and said, "It would be my honor!"

There are two sides to the story.

A world of vibrant red.

Kiana was exhausted and leaned against her sister Durandal.

"Sister, are you out of strength too?"

"Phew—I hate to admit it, but Bai Yan really did it!"

For some reason, Durandal's tone sounded somewhat resentful.

Kiana almost laughed.

The twelve Herrscher have been dealt with, but they no longer have the strength to break through the barriers of this world.

Let's rest first.

"Sister, what do you think his purpose is in doing this?"

"... I don't think he meant any harm."

"But you look angry."

"I have a bad feeling, and this isn't the first time I've had this feeling, so I want to stop him from doing something stupid."

Kiana didn't understand, but that didn't stop the conversation from continuing.

"We need to get out of here first. This place feels familiar, but I can't remember why."

"Familiarity?"

"Yes, especially during the battle just now, I always felt that some of the power I unleashed was instantly nullified upon touching the barrier of this space—probably because he also learned the abilities of the Xianzhou Alliance."

Durandal began to ponder.

How can we break down the barriers in this space?

Volume 1: Chapter 265: Elysia's Resentment

The scene before my eyes was illusory, yet it gave me a sense of comfort.

Raiden Mei opened her eyes, only to find herself in a pink coffee shop.

She found herself sitting there without realizing it, with a hot latte in front of her.

Tap tap tap...

With a formulaic smile, Elysia walked briskly towards Raiden Mei, carrying a tray, and quickly arranged the drinks, desserts, and other items in front of her, much to the latter's surprise.

"Mei, please enjoy your meal?"

She bowed slightly while holding the tray, then turned and left.

"..."

After a long pause, Raiden Mei finally came to her senses.

"Elysia!"

"I'm here."

The voice came from the side, and when I turned around, I found that Elysia was dressed in pure white.

"Just now..."

"That was me too—hehe, Mei, did I fool you? What do you think? Did I look just like that very pretty maid, Rita?"

"But I remember when you met her, she wasn't dressed as a maid."

"Mei, have you forgotten my keen eye for beautiful girls?" Elysia said confidently, raising her chin.

"I see," Raiden Mei smiled, then glanced around. "Where is this place, and why are you here?"

"Um... if I said that even I have a hard time explaining where this place is, would Mei believe me?"

Raiden Mei stared at her expressionlessly.

"As expected," Elysia said helplessly, spreading her hands. "Then I'll just have to tell the truth."

"This can be your space of consciousness, or it can be World Bubble that has not yet taken shape."

"Only when our phase spaces merge can we meet."

"And who are you now?"

"It's just a Remembrance that was once sealed before the Destruction the Pre-Civilization, plus Mei's impression of me, and that's who I am now."

"So that's how it is. Someone sabotaged my entry into the Elysian Realm."

"Is Mei angry?"

Raiden Mei smiled and said, "Of course not. I'm just a little surprised that you chose me instead of Kiana."

"Kiana isn't suitable; her mission lies elsewhere—to be honest, Mei is the first truly unique Herrscher I've ever met. Because back then, neither Kiana nor I realized the problem with each other..."

At this point, Elysia sighed.

"When I learned my true identity, and Mei told me about Kiana's origins; the feelings I had at that moment were truly hard to describe..."

"However, compared to a completely unpredictable future, there is a sense of mission and happiness in approaching the final moment when the outcome is already known."

"Such lovely you all, and such a lovely future, I can already see it before I even set off..."

Elysia looked on with longing, closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

Raiden Mei waited quietly until the other opened her eyes again before speaking, "Before coming here, I was facing a battle against an opponent I could hardly defeat; but what I didn't understand was why I suddenly ended up here. But after seeing you, I understand why."

"The final legacy, and the last stop before reaching the other shore."

"Could you tell me Dr. MEI's opinion on the Stigmata Project? And where are they right now?"

Elysia nodded seriously.

"In fact, Mei knew all along that the Stigmata Project could not succeed."

"What?!"

"People don't really understand the technical issues involved, but Mei and I firmly believe that you can succeed, even if you don't fully understand the essence of the plan."

What is the essence?

"I already said that no one knows either, but as the earliest Herrscher of Origin, there are some things I can understand!" Elysia put her hands on her hips, a sense of confidence rising within her.

"Listen to me, Mei, from now on, when you're fighting, you must be very careful; you must find the one true truth amidst endless falsehood, and then strike that one true enemy with a mighty blow!!"

At this moment, Raiden Mei was overwhelmed with shock.

That's so bizarre!

Why would this happen?!

It's not because of riddles about truth and falsehood.

Rather, it was Elysia's expression at that moment.

Her face was filled with a terrible resentment, as if she were about to break down.

Even his tone was filled with gritted teeth.

Even after she recovered, she still had to exhale a long breath.

Raiden Mei had never seen her react like this before, and remained silent, not daring to say anything.

"Mei, remember to tell Kiana this too. She's not good at being ruthless, so Mei has to add fuel to the fire on top of how ruthless she was just now!"

"... I... I understand. I'll definitely tell my companions." Raiden Mei nodded quickly.

"Then I'll leave Mei!?" Elysia smiled broadly upon hearing this, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"May I ask you something?" Raiden Mei said, "Who is the enemy you're referring to?"

Elysia paused, then spoke in a peculiar tone:

" In the Current Civilization era, only those who are qualified to bear the burden of the Finality can also hold the Stigmata Space."

"He wants to abandon the cradle of civilization that has nurtured us since time immemorial, turning all living beings into endless wanderers, never to reach true beauty again..."

"So Mei, you must stop him! And give him a good beating!"

Raiden Mei pondered her words for a moment.

Bearing the burden of Finality, yet still wielding the Stigmata Space, one can betray the cradle that nurtured civilization...

"He definitely deserves to be severely punished." She nodded.

"I told you so—alright, now I'll give Mei the final trial."

As she spoke, Herrscher Armor suddenly appeared on Elysia's body.

"Although I really don't want Mei to get hurt, Mei is a brave warrior, so I will absolutely not hold back in this battle."

"This battle may be very long, but as the saying goes, 'a fine sword is forged through tempering,' and this is the first step we must take in order to fully inherit this power!"

"Come on, Mei!?"

Raiden Mei nodded emphatically, also ready for battle.

In an instant, the entire illusory space was filled with enormous energy fluctuations.

Stigmata Space.

Misterin looked at the exhausted Bronya and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

The girl did not give up, even though she had been driven to the brink of despair.

Bronya recovered and quickly looked up.

Misterin's expression changed seamlessly, becoming utterly inhuman.

"As expected, Brother Bai Yan wants to help you become the Herrscher of Reason, and then improve the Stigmata Project, which had been stalled, right?"

"It seems that you, the Herrscher of Reason, are nothing special," Misterin said indifferently. "I am very close to Bai Yan, so I will not hurt you. Giving up now will not harm you."

Bronya resolutely replied, "Don't even think about it!"

Volume 1: Chapter 266: Young man, your resume is a bit strange, but it's still acceptable.

What's that place on the other side?

When Fu Xuan asked this question, Bai Yan knew he had come to the right place.

The realm beyond words, the true source of Honkai.

"I need to go somewhere, but there's probably no way I can stay for long."

"... No wonder you've never appeared anywhere in the universe; such a bizarre situation has arisen here. But I must remind you to act within your capabilities."

"I can't measure that kind of power."

Seeing that Fu Xuan didn't want to say anything more, Bai Yan looked at Jingliu.

Be careful in everything.

"I know, Master."

For everyone qualified to study at F-3-Ling-IX, the path to that destination is different.

Bai Yan wasn't surprised that he could go there.

After all, He does not have consciousness; He simply operates according to certain rules.

It constantly "embraces" all living beings in a way that is fatal to them.

At the same time, it is also filtering out the final qualified candidates.

"It's a little regrettable not being able to see it with my own eyes," Vill-V said, shaking her head helplessly.
