Kalpas's Enthusiasm, Elysia's Mystery.
"Are you kidding me? I just introduced myself a few minutes ago. Seriously, are you deliberately flirting with me? How could you do something like that to a girl you just met?"
"You have a cute face, but your mind is surprisingly mischievous."
The voice had a strange playfulness to it; it wasn't quite teasing, but rather like a little hand tickling one's heart and sending a shiver down one's spine.
It's as if you're keeping people at arm's length yet also feeling incredibly close.
Mei said no more and prepared to formally explore the Elysian Realm.
"Is this a world made of memories? It looks no different from reality."
Mei observed her surroundings, muttering to herself.
"Hmm~, that does sound like something I would say."
Elysia's portrayal in the story didn't feel a bit out of place; on the contrary, it felt strangely real, as if she were the one who could say those things.
"Poor Mei, she got teased by Sister Elysia right from the start."
Rin looked at Mei with pity in her eyes.
"Hey, Rin, how can you call that flirting? It's clearly attraction. Pretty girls are always attracted to each other."
Elysia puffed out her cheeks.
"Alright, Elysia, why don't we think about what a space composed of memories is? Is it something that appears? Are we all fragments of memories left behind from the past?"
Sakura suddenly realized that what she said made a lot of sense.
If it's a memory left over from the past, then that explains why the self who had already died in the Previous Era would reappear in the PV.
"Hiss."
Elysia gasped.
"If memories constitute a wondrous space... then besides Kevin and the others who have already appeared outside, does that mean...?"
Elysia thought of some unpleasant things.
As the main fighting force against the collapse of the Previous Era, none of the Fusion Warrior who have appeared in the story so far are weak. If they hadn't shown up, their chances of survival would not have been great.
Especially memories...
"Yaqing..."
Elysia instinctively grabbed Yaqing's hand.
Yaqing slowly broke free.
"Elysia, the wonder of the Elysian Realm is something you have to experience for yourself. What's the point if I have to spoil everything for you?"
Elysia paused for a moment, then realized that what Yaqing said made sense.
This scene immediately caused a huge uproar in the live broadcast room.
"No? They're all dead?! The screenwriter's gone too far. So, all the people who boarded later were dead? Then what was Kevin's purpose in sending Mei here?"
"It's probably about passing on the legacy, letting Mei know the determination of the Previous Era to fight against the Honkai, and then training her again. After all, it seems that Mei is the only one of the Trio who hasn't used any cheat codes."
"Wait, wait, wait, wasn't Mei looking for Kevin to find the answer to the Honkai? Kevin pointed him in the direction of the Elysian Realm. If there are only memories, does that mean the answer to the Honkai was already discovered in the Previous Era?"
"Actually, on second thought, it's a good thing. After all, it's already a memory entity, someone who's already died once. No matter how ruthless the screenwriter is, they can't possibly kill it again, right?"
The viewers in the live stream were all complaining and discussing.
The space formed by memories helped them resolve some of their doubts.
But that was far from enough; the Elysian Realm remained a mystery to them.
Mei, filled with doubt and wariness, passed through a portal adorned with crystal paintings. After overcoming the challenges, she arrived at a magnificent hall where Elysia finally revealed herself, sitting on a sofa and waiting for a long time.
"How are you?"
Elysia asked with a smile.
"Hmm..."
Mei's memories were somewhat disordered after entering the Elysian Realm, but this was normal, and with Elysia's help, she quickly recalled them.
"I get shy when people stare at me like that."
Noticing Mei's gaze, Elysia smiled gently.
Mei promptly apologized.
Do you remember who I am?
Mei did not answer immediately.
"Hey, is it stuck?"
Seeing that there was no response from the screen, Elysia wondered.
I thought it was because I had downloaded all the games to my C drive.
"Elysia, don't worry, do you still remember Honkai 3rd?"
Yaqing smiled.
Elysia's face looked as if she had swallowed a dead fly.
How could I forget the Honkai Chronicles? Those countless reincarnations, those countless deaths.
"I made a small attempt, putting the options into the main storyline for the first time and leaving it to the audience."
Yaqing explained.
Elysia understood. In Honkai 3rd, there will be three different storylines based on the three different choices. The main storyline is the first attempt and there are no three storylines, but the three choices will be left to the audience to choose.
Three options appear on the screen.
Keep silent, Yuto and the Miss Pink Elf!
Elysia blushed.
"Yaqing, how could you write my online name in there? It makes me shy."
Elysia punched Yaqing with her little fist.
Yaqing gasped in shock.
Embarrassing, stop joking! And that punch really hurt, even though it didn't look like I used much force.
"Hehe, is there even a need to choose? It's definitely the third one."
Rin helped Elysia make a choice.
When Mei said "Miss Pink Elf," Elysia thought it was a frivolous nickname and even felt that Kevin was likely to be surrounded by bad women.
Elysia formally introduced herself to Mei once again, mentioning the Fusion Warrior. Just as the audience had guessed, she was not the original Alicia, but a memory that inherited Elysia's personality and experiences.
In response to Mei's question, Elysia explained the Elysian Realm and the Flame-Chasers.
The Flame-Chasers do not refer to the thirteen strongest warriors among the Fusion Warrior, but rather to the thirteen warriors who survived the Covenant tragedy.
The title of the Flame-Chasers was also created by Elysia, because if even they could not unite, then human civilization would surely be annihilated under the influence of the Honkai.
"So that's how it is."
Elysia stared blankly, lost in thought.
They had always believed that the Flame-Chasers were the honor bestowed upon the thirteen strongest Fusion Warrior, an honor instilled in them by the power displayed by Kevin and Fu Hua.
Even though Su claimed that she wasn't a direct combatant, she was still able to trap the strongest Valkyrie in the current civilization using the Sumeru Mustard Seed.
But at this moment, they realized what the Flame-Chasers truly represented. It was not honor, nor pride, but tragedy—the tragedy of surviving.
They represent the last strength and dignity of a civilization.
"That explains why Uncle Hen didn't receive the clothes. Maybe he was also Fusion Warrior, but... he didn't survive the tragedy of the restraints."
Bell's tone was dejected.
Sakura sensed something was wrong.
"I always felt that Elysia was too good to Mei, almost too good. The Herrscher of the Previous Era were all turned into Divine Key, which means there were no Herrscher who fought for humanity, so..."
Sakura frowned.
"Elysia, who once fought against the Honkai and the Herrscher, is a Fusion Warrior. When she saw Mei, who is Herrscher, she not only didn't attack immediately, but was also so considerate and enthusiastic. Isn't that suspicious?"
"Sakura, what if they just think Mei is pretty and are willing to help her?"
Elysia hugged Sakura's arm.
Sakura gave him a deep look.
If it were the real Elysia making such a choice, she would not be surprised at all, but this is the Elysia in the story. Although she doesn't know what those two words that were deliberately erased are.
But second only to Kevin, the second-ranked of the Flame-Chasers could never be an ordinary, naive, and innocent girl.
"Elysia, are you really sure that Yaqing didn't portray you as someone who's all bark and no bite?"
Sakura hesitated for a moment.
Judging from the current storyline, Elysia is acting too mysteriously and too enthusiastically, as if she is playing a very big game and seems to have something on her mind regarding Mei.
After all, the audience doesn't believe that the second-ranked of the Flame-Chasers would be as simple as it seems.
Even Elysia herself wasn't sure.
The comments section was filled with speculation about whether Elysia was a good person or not.
"Yaqing, if you write Miss Fairy as a villain, Miss Fairy will definitely be unhappy."
Elysia spoke to Yaqing in the harshest tone.
Is he a white-faced but black-faced person?
Yaqing smiled.

Chapter 511 Passionate Kalpas, Mysterious Elysia.
At Elysia's suggestion, Mei continued to explore the Elysian Realm.
Just as Elysia handed her Signets to Mei timely expressed her doubts.
Have you ever heard the saying that choices made under pressure reveal a person's True Self and will determine what kind of person they will become?
Elysia said with a smile.
"Throughout my life, I have made one decision after another. They are like nodes in a segment, forever engraved in my brilliant life, shining brightly."
"This is my [Signets], the engraving of Elysia's soul, the proof of who I am."
"To go further in history, following in my footsteps is also a viable option. After all, I am someone who has witnessed this era from beginning to end."
"But then again... it's inevitable to feel a little shy when showing your True Self to others."
Elysia covered her face, looking shy.
"If I remember correctly, you said that the memories left behind by thirteen Fusion Warrior exist here. In that case, I can also go and witness the choices made by others."
Faced with the ultimate temptation of the Elysian Realm, Mei chose to uphold her wifely virtues and directly retorted with a straightforward, honest response.
"That way you won't be shy anymore, right?"
"Mei, is the way you comfort a girl making her even more upset?"
Elysia looked aggrieved.
Seeing Elysia get thwarted by Mei, the audience felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
"Pfft."
Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In the story, the mysterious Elysia was defeated by Mei in one move.
Especially when she thought about how Elysia always teased her in real life, almost turning her straight sexual orientation gay, and how no one could control Elysia, she was now seeing Elysia get the short end of the stick.
Sakura laughed rather unkindly.
"I still feel that Sister Elysia is flirting with Mei."
