Elysian Realm PV Released. (Continued)
"Yaqing, when did you arrive?"
Shub was surprised.
"I can't hear you!"
Yaqing couldn't hear what Shub was saying at all. The concert's sound system was already loud, not to mention the shouts from the fans and audience members next to her.
"Never mind."
Eden finished singing two songs, he looked at the huge audience below and smiled.
"Everyone must be wondering, didn't I say there were no concerts planned for this year?"
Eden held the microphone.
"Indeed, that's what I was thinking. But then a friend of mine suddenly asked me to put on a concert for him and for them."
Eden pointed, and a beam of light suddenly shone in the dim environment.
Yaqing remained calm and composed, standing in the center of the beam of light and waving towards the stage.
The people around were chattering.
They clearly recognized him: such a high-ranking executive with Schicksal, a branch president, and a Honkai screenwriter.
"So, next, please enjoy the final Elysian Realm of the Flame-Chasers, the Elysian Realm."
All lights are off.
When the lights came on, Eden had already left the stage, leaving only the large screen behind the stage.
"Welcome, noble and pure soul, you have come to explore the past."
In the pitch-black screen, Elysia's sweet voice rang out.
Countless shattered purple crystals reflected the light.
"But the foundation of the truth has long been buried by the dust of the past. This is the last Elysian Realm in the end times, and also the destined final act for the Flame-Chasers."
A purple crystal floats in the palm of her hand, Elysia's blurry figure appears in the frame, speaking calmly as if she were talking about something insignificant.
"And what exists here are just some still interesting stories."
"The story of that distant past, the story of those thirteen men who failed to become heroes."
Advanced camera transitions.
IV. [Gold] Eden, VII. [Heavenly Wisdom] Su.
"This cup is offered to this vast world, wishing that time may stand still here, and that this world may be as glorious as gold."
Sue sat in her familiar posture under the withered tree, Eden raised his wine glass to the sky in a toast.
Ⅵ [Decimation] Kalpas, Ⅷ [Setsuna] cherry blossoms.
"Let's stop here, Kalpas. That girl is dead; there's no point in continuing the fight."
"The fighting itself is meaningless, but their deaths cannot be without meaning!"
Sakura slowly sheathed her sword, her back to Kalpas, who was standing on the corpse of Honkai Beasts. Kalpas's aura was intense, giving people the illusion of bloodthirst and rage.
X [Infinite] Mobius, Xll [Floating Life] Hua.
Each bubble reflects Hua's past.
"Death is not the end of life; life will evolve from death and be reborn. Yes, we will redefine what it means to be human."
The camera slowly zooms out, revealing the Snakey staring coldly at the audience with her snake-like pupils, while the Gray Serpent stands respectfully beside her.
Ⅰ [Salvation] Kevin.
"Kevin, it's not only heroes who can save the world, but those who save the world are called heroes."
"But we all know that this world is beyond saving. Yet, we must still become heroes."
Kevin stood under that cherry blossom tree, the very spot where he once made a promise to all of humanity.
Like a mirror slowly shattering, countless pink and purple crystals scattered in the void.
"Look, they lived with such pride, to the very end. They composed a hymn to civilization with their lives."
Each shard of crystal reflected the image of a person: Mei, Eden, Kevin, and others. Elysia's voice slowly entered everyone's mind.
"This is the story of those called Flame-Chasers, the unfinished journey of the thirteen Flame-Chasers, but visitor, your path will continue, won't it?"
Elysia's voice became very gentle, and the camera slowly zoomed out until her full appearance was revealed. Her gentle, watery eyes seemed to be watching every viewer who saw this scene, as if she were telling them a story.
"Then let's follow our hearts and move forward. Let's follow the footsteps we've taken and witness that journey of chasing the fire."
"Finally, let us cross the final graves of the departed and create the future we could not have anticipated."
As the last sentence fell.
Elysia's name finally appeared on the big screen.
II [■■] Elysia.]
No one expected that coming to Eden's concert would bring an extra surprise.
Honkai is a global anime, and it has a large number of viewers and fans, which does not conflict with Eden's fans.
"Is this a new version of Honkai 3rd?! I guess I'm the first to try this out. I should have started recording it earlier; if it got out, I could have become famous too!"
"Idiot, I started filming the video as soon as Eden said 'Enjoy!'"
"The screenwriter is playing a very big game! He spent so much money, buying out an entire Eden concert, just to promote the next main storyline. He's really willing to spend so much."
For the audience, the people in this PV include both strangers and familiar faces.
Sakura, Su, Kevin, and Hua have all appeared in the story before. Elysia has also made an appearance once. Eden is a given; although no one has heard of him in the story, everyone in reality knows Eden.
The inclusion of Eden in the storyline of Honkai 3rd is enough to generate buzz.
The most discussed characters are the two who are making their first appearance: Mobius and Kalpas.
Everyone in the Golden Courtyard backstage was dumbfounded.
I was completely unprepared to appear on the big screen. Although I knew I would appear in Honkai anime, I didn't expect it to happen so soon. It was very sudden.
"This is me? The savior... It suits me perfectly!"
"Snort."
Kalpas snorted coldly, but you could tell from his tone that he wasn't in a bad mood.
Mobius glanced at Elysia, especially at her wedding-dress-like outfit.
In this PV, Elysia takes up a full 80% of the screen time, which shows that Elysia will definitely be quite important in the upcoming plot.
Mobius turned around, even angrier.
I saw the loli-type character that appeared in the story.
"1234..."
Hen mumbled something under his breath.
Blanca asked, puzzled.
"Hen, what are you counting?"
Hen answered honestly.
"Of the 13 people who failed to become heroes, only 8 have made it onto the list, and I have a feeling I will definitely be one of them!"
Hen was full of confidence.
Blanca was too embarrassed to shatter his fantasy.
Thirteen people who failed to become heroes.
Isn't this exactly the same as the 13 pieces of clothing that Yaqing brought back?
You didn't even get a package, but I hope you'll get a role in the story.
Eden takes the stage again.
"Everyone must be very confused, because when I saw this part, I had the same thoughts as you: What are the Flame-Chasers? What is the Elysian Realm? Why didn't they become heroes?"
"After all, I'm a fan of Honkai just like everyone else."
"Yaqing also told me that the next story will happen to Mei, lifting the veil of mystery of the Previous Era."
"Honkai IX: Elysian Realm".
Beams of light shone down.
They just appeared in the PV, and each of them took the stage one by one.
Savior Kevin, Heavenly Wisdom Su, Setsuna Cherry Blossom, Infinite Mobius, Floating Life, Decimation Kalpas.
Eden's gaze never left the girl who was slowly rising from the elevator platform.
Elysia.
The intro to True begins.
"Say My Name When A Tree Susurrates"
Elysia's gentle and sweet voice flowed like water, soothing the hearts of every listener.
As Elysia sang, the tension in her heart seemed to vanish in that instant.
Behind them, a large screen unfolded scenes of Previous Era.
Sakura's death, Hen's death, Su's death in the Legacy Chapter, and the death in the Finality battle of the moon...
Ah, how long I long to embrace!
"The Future Breaking Out Of Shades From The Past"
"Still Ablaze (Like a torch, like light)"
When a high note is played, it always brings a sense of inexplicable sadness.
It felt like despair, yet also like a new beginning.
Elysia closed her eyes, and the radiant glow made her wedding dress shine even brighter.
"Seeds Bear New Life When Flowers Dare To Fade"
"Petals Linger About (Flying Flowers Lingering)"
"Awaiting One Last Dance"
Shaking Off All the Dust From The Past
"New Stories Have Yet To Start"
The song ended.
The audience seemed to be witnessing a magnificent epic masterpiece.
Even though Elysian Realm hasn't been shown yet, they have the illusion that they've witnessed it firsthand.
The devastation of Previous Era, the legacy of modern civilization.
After a moment of silence, thunderous applause resounded throughout the stadium.
"Elysia... that voice sounds so familiar, isn't that Miss Pink Elf?!"
"The beautiful lady who just appeared in the PV."
"This song is so ruthless. Oh no, how ruthless will the next plot be? Are we going to have everyone die?"
"That's enough. It's one thing for the screenwriter to cut one or two characters, but how could he possibly cut them all? He's not a devil."
"But wasn't Sakura supposed to be dead? How come she's reappeared?"
The popularity of the Elysian Realm instantly surged to its peak.
It completely overshadowed the popularity of the newly released Ahalato manga-based game by Anti -Anti-Entropy next door.
After Elysia came down, she kept comforting those huge hearts.
"Elysia, watching you perform on stage, I thought you weren't nervous at all."
Yaqing arrived backstage at some point and joked.
