What? There's a little bonus scene after the farewell? / So this is how fast the group photo deals damage!

"After all, this is a dance party that everyone participates in..."

All sorts of Flame-Chasers abilities were triggered, and Mei and Kiana could even see many familiar things in the arena.

For example... the little Mobius doll that ran around everywhere and caused them great difficulty in charging, and the "Knight" who fought for Griseo in the art studio node.

"It seems everyone likes you all very much!"

Soon, as her first phase of "health" reached its limit, Elysia's graceful figure came to a stop, and then she gave the two of them a gentle smile.

Accompanied by a burst of special effects resembling flying petals, the bow and arrow in her hand instantly transformed into a scepter engraved with pink crystal.

The flower girl who was originally holding the bell behind her has transformed into a fishtail-style skirt, and her gorgeous clothes have also become more "divine". Without a doubt, the second phase of the boss is the complete Origin Herrscher Elysia has never used before.

"Finally, we've reached the climax of the ball!"

"The Origin Herrscher, that's another name for me... How does it feel?"

"It's an outfit that suits you very well, but..."

Kiana blinked blankly as she watched Elysia swing her Mei directly at Mei.

"A scepter... is that how it's used?"

"Don't worry about the details, but if you'd like to try something a bit more glamorous..."

"Then, shall we accept the magic of this beautiful girl?"

Seemingly because of Kiana's reminder, Elysia also seemed to feel that this kind of sword-fighting battle was not very aesthetically pleasing, so she immediately stepped back, raised the scepter high, and demonstrated the original use of the weapon to the two of them.

"When a star streaks across the sky... remember to make a wish!"

A huge star ring radiated outwards from the top of the scepter, while countless purple stars began to converge around the scepter, tracing beautiful arcs as they hurtled towards the two.

"Now, even if I wanted to, I couldn't help but take it seriously..."

Faced with Elysia's overwhelming and dazzling attacks, the two of them unanimously chose to unleash their full power.

"Aili Aili?"

Xia Ling's voice rang out from beside Elysia.

"I'd like to learn this too, is that okay?!"

Elysia lowered her head and met Xia Ling's bright, sparkling eyes.

Xia Ling's childlike behavior made Elysia burst out laughing. She actually knew this; Xia Ling had never been able to resist skills with such dazzling special effects...

"Don't worry, it will happen."

After patting Xia Ling's head, Elysia gave an affirmative answer.

After all, according to her plan, the preliminary preparations for Vill-V's Origin Key had already begun in full swing, and then, combined with the complete Origin Authority that Xia Ling obtained...

Her strength is probably not just comparable to the [Karma Demon], and intervening in the Finality battle may no longer be a pipe dream for her.

"Then... will this be available too?"

Upon hearing Theresa's voice, Elysia looked towards the screen.

"Oh, so that's it..."

At this point, the battle on the screen had progressed to the point where the giant ray made its appearance.

"That's actually a way of using Origin Power in conjunction with authority. If Xia Ling wants to learn it too, I can teach you later, okay?"

Chapter 112 What? There's a little surprise after the farewell?

Compared to her all-out effort in the first stage, in the second stage, it seems that Origin Elysia really just wanted to show them her whole self.

After using dozens of gorgeous and dazzling skills in succession, Elysia took the initiative to extend her hand.

Then, under the almost popping-out-of-the-eyes gazes of Kiana and Mei, she pinched the... health bar floating above her head.

"Is this... is this okay?"

"Of course, after all, this is a dance party, isn't it?"

After depleting his own health bar, the surrounding Origin Sea of Stars shattered as the battle ended, transforming back into the scene of Everlasting Paradise.

"Is this... over?"

Following Elysia to a swing, Kiana and Mei sat on either side of Elysia, enjoying this moment of leisure with the girl.

"After all, I'm not one of those simulated data. If I went all out, you wouldn't see the rest of the story, you know?"

Elysia made no attempt to cover up her leniency, simply smiling as she looked at the two new-generation Herrscher sitting beside her.

"After all... as you know, the main purpose of this trial is only twofold: one is to cultivate your combat synergy, which has already been achieved in the previous weeks of trials."

"And the other one..."

Elysia smiled but didn't say anything more.

"Is this a gift from Sister Xia Ling...?"

Kiana murmured to herself, now roughly understanding the meaning behind this ending.

"So... this ending is actually 'real'?"

Mei's voice trembled slightly.

"Don't blame yourself, Mei."

Elysia gently patted Mei's head and "casually" and "unobtrusively" touched her horn.

"According to Xia Ling, this is just one possibility in a parallel world, or you can treat it as a fabricated Alternate History made up by Xia Ling?"

"I wouldn't go so far as to deceive myself like that..."

Mei shook her head shyly.

"Then... Elysia, if this is just one possibility among countless parallel worlds, then in our world..."

After thinking for a long time, Mei couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm... Xia Ling asked me to keep this a secret for now."

Elysia winked mischievously. "But guess what kind of ability it takes to construct this incredibly realistic trial system?"

"... II>Zhou Lingshan Chess? One ton... So that's how it is."

Almost instantly, the two of them remembered a sentence Bronya had said when they first entered the trial.

Their physical structures contained auras of Herrscher she had never seen before...

"So don't overthink it. Everyone in reality is still alive and well."

"Then may we visit the true Elysian Realm?"

Qi Ling Meng Qi Ling, also known as Ling Qi Ya Na, suddenly perked up.

"This is probably a bit difficult to handle now..."

Mentioning this made Elysia feel a little melancholy.

"After all, the Finality battle is just around the corner, and you and Kevin have undoubtedly embarked on two opposing paths."

However, she was, after all, Elysia, and this slight disappointment only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

"However, shall we visit Elysian Realm after everyone has successfully crossed the Finality?"

"Yay!"

The Kiana almost jumped for joy.

"As for now..." Elysia's gaze fell on the thirteen stone pillars on the outer side of the square.

"The story is nearing its end. Even if it didn't happen in real life, let's... watch it to the very end, shall we?"

As she spoke, Elysia jumped off the swing.

"According to the settings, you will be teleported to the Sixth Floor shortly after the battle on the Fifth Floor ends."

"However... consider it fulfilling a small wish of mine."

"Come with me on a roller coaster ride, and then say goodbye to the Herrschers in this story, okay?"

"Um!"

The two, unaware of what they were about to experience, nodded emphatically.

Soon, they strolled out of the plaza of Everlasting Paradise, and after circling the entire park, the three of them arrived at the starting station of the roller coaster.

The wheels kept turning, like the turning of fate, carrying the three of them into the distance. On the roller coaster, the two saw the entire Everlasting Paradise for the first time, and... watched it gradually disappear into the distance.

The roller coaster drove into a burst of light.

The warm light enveloped the two of them, and only then did they realize that Elysia had disappeared from their side at some point.

At the same time, they heard familiar blessings.

First came the cat, then Hua, Griseo... In the order of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, each Flame-Chasers offered his blessing to these successors.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but... the scene that appeared in the white light was not so friendly.

For example, half a coin on the moon, a broken pocket watch floating in the starry sky... As clever as they are, they have already guessed what these scenes represent.

Although Kiana's mood had improved considerably thanks to Elysia's previous comforting words, she still couldn't help but feel her eyes welling up with tears.

Kiana, don't be too sad. This is just a temporary separation, just the end of a story. Elysia just comforted us, didn't she...?

Kiana silently recited words of self-comfort to herself, took a deep breath, and forced herself not to show any sadness.

After all, she had just been comforted, and it would be too embarrassing to burst into tears again.

But...

After the last Flame-Chasers, Elysia, finished giving her blessing, they did not go directly to the Sixth Floor. Instead, the usual dialogue options popped up.

Let's leave now...

[Don't want...]

"Is this an Easter egg that Elysia left for us?"

Mei hesitated, unsure whether she should click.

"Well... let's try not to. I also want to spend a little more time with Elysia..."

Kiana felt a surge of secret joy. After all, she was about to head to the Sixth Floor, where there would surely be something bigger. She had originally wanted to compose herself before entering, but unexpectedly, someone brought her a pillow just when she was feeling sleepy.

Perfect timing! I'll use this time during Elysia's Easter egg to sort out my feelings. Otherwise, if I just enter the Sixth Floor and witness the real final battle, I might really burst into tears.

So, Kiana clicked "No..." without hesitation.

Sure enough, Elysia's voice appeared once again.

"Oh dear, what's wrong?"

"If we don't leave now, it'll really be too late!"

Let's leave now...

[Don't want...]

Mei and Kiana exchanged a glance, and Kiana, without hesitation, clicked on "No...".

Chapter 113 This is the speed at which injuries occur during a group photo!

"Okay... I know, you'll miss me, right? Of course I will too."

"But it's okay, haven't you already taken on all of my burdens?"

Let's leave now...

[Don't want...]

"It seems that it really was a little Easter egg left by Elysia."

As Elysia's gentle voice rang in her ears, Kiana felt as if her inner wounds were being healed.

"Then... listen to what Elysia has to say." Mei nodded. She could tell that Kiana wasn't feeling well, so she was happy to let her take this opportunity to rest.
