A Drunk Eden, a Philosophical Su.
"A Herrscher?"
Seemingly sensing Mei's arrival, he slightly turned his head, concealing his expression and eyes beneath the mask.
"Hello, my name is Raiden Mei."
Mei greeted them politely, after all, to her, the Flame-Chasers of the Elysian Realm were warriors who fought against the Honkai, and were her seniors.
"Your name is unimportant, Herrscher. And I have no interest in remembering the name of a dying man! Hahahaha!!!"
Amidst the maniacal laughter, Kalpas didn't waste any words and launched his attack.
To be precise, his target wasn't Mei, but his attacks were all large-scale AoE attacks. Not only were Honkai Beasts within his attack range, but Mei also used her Herrscher power to resist.
A violent roar echoed continuously from the flames.
"Continue, Herrscher! Not enough... not enough!!! Even if only a breath remains, this battle will never end!"
"Herrscher, is this all the power you have? Show me your true strength and let me know you're worthy of being beaten to death by me!"
"That's right, Herrscher. Just like you did elsewhere, turn this Elysian Realm of strife into a true hell!"
"This is an endless battlefield, a path of Decimation!"
"There's no need to distinguish between justice and injustice; you just need to vent your anger, cut everything down! Kill everything! Burn everything to ashes!"
Mei failed to pass the test of the Kalpas Tribulations, but the Kalpas still gave the Signets to Mei in the end. He was not interested in Mei at this moment, or rather, she was too weak to give him the desire to fight.
"All things have been burned, and I too will be destroyed without a trace. Life and death, existence and extinction, only Decimation, an eternal flame!"
"Ah?!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw Kalpas appear.
It wasn't just because of the passion Elysia mentioned, which surprisingly wasn't referring to her personality, but rather her fighting style.
"Hehehehehehehe!!!"
You can tell from Kalpas's healthy laughter.
He seemed to quite like his character in the story, especially his fighting style.
Fighting is the simplest solution.
Ling was so frightened that she hid in Sakura's arms.
Sakura glared at her, annoyed.
Kalpas's laughter stopped abruptly.
512
Chapter 512 Drunken Eden, Philosophical Socrates.
Kalpas's enthusiasm exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Huh? Passion?! This kind of passion is something ordinary people can't handle. No wonder Brother Jie said many successors have fallen here. Who can get through this?"
["Dude, this is only the first one?! This is so intense, it's really getting exciting!!!"]
"This is the true attitude that Flame-Chasers saw in the Herrscher."
Jie's first appearance instantly ignited the entire arena.
The comments section was buzzing with discussion about Kalpas.
Rin hid behind Sakura.
"I originally thought that the eldest sister's reaction to the Herrscher was genuine, but now I feel that Brother Jie's performance was the most genuine."
Ling said softly.
Sakura looked helpless.
"Is it true? I feel like he overreacted?"
"Sister Sakura, you can't say that. After all, Herrscher are theoretically Honkai Apostles, and Brother Jie doesn't know that Mei is Herrscher who fights for humanity."
Based on the combat power displayed by Kalpas, Pardo even thought that Jie-ge was holding back.
The timid Pardo is most afraid of the passionate Kalpas.
When a stranger sees Kalpas, he can truly stop a child from crying.
"Snort."
Kalpas snorted coldly, muttering famous lines from the previous scene.
Mei returned to the hall, Elysia was still smiling. She snorted in annoyance, feeling very displeased with Kalpas's fiery attack without saying a word.
Elysia replied that she had no choice in leaving Kalpas the memory at the time, and explained that the Previous Era did not have Herrscher with humanity like her, and that the Flame-Chasers of the Elysian Realm were also having their first contact with Herrscher.
Noticing Mei's displeased tone, Elysia pulled out a book.
"One Hundred Questions about the Kalpas Masks: From Beginner to Expert?... Author, Elysia?"
Mei's expression was strange.
She didn't think she could communicate with Kalpas just by reading a book.
Elysia smiled and said that as long as one thoroughly reads this book, which is considered on par with the survival guide within the Moth Chasing Fire, one can confidently communicate with Kalpas. She added that if one fails, she will provide after-sales service.
"One Hundred Questions about the Mask of Kalpas? Oh right, why didn't I think of that back then?"
Elysia struck the palm of her hand.
Does this really work?
Ling said weakly.
"Is it really not just from beginner to cremation?"
"Pfft."
Ling's witty remarks were so funny that it made people burst out laughing.
Especially the viewers in the live stream.
"Rin is absolutely right, hahaha. I have a feeling that Elysia is setting a trap for Mei. If Mei actually takes this book seriously and goes to talk to Mei -ge, she'll probably be in her grave."
["Survival Guide... hiss, so Zed is just as volatile within the Moth Chasing Fire, not just targeting Mei alone."]
["What Elysia means by saying that the Previous Era didn't have Herrscher like Mei? What does that mean? Does it mean that something went wrong with the current civilization? Or is it a contingency plan left behind by the Previous Era?"]
The comments section was filled with diverse opinions.
Sakura frowned.
After all, her younger sister became Herrscher in the story and eventually died alongside her, so she cared a great deal about Herrscher retaining some humanity.
Although the Herrscher of Corruption only awakened after Rin's death, if any Herrscher before her had retained humanity, she probably wouldn't have ended up in such a state.
"Yaqing, why Herrscher of the current civilization able to fight for humanity, but those of the Previous Era..."
Sakura couldn't help but ask.
Yaqing raised her hand, gesturing for her to look behind her.
He wouldn't say a word more, and besides, the Herrscher possesses a human side, which is the biggest plot twist later on.
If we were to say it out loud beforehand, wouldn't that be like shooting ourselves in the foot?
The sudden singing interrupted their conversation.
Hearing the song, Elysia's smile widened, and she introduced Eden to Mei. She explained that without Eden's gift, the Elysian Realm might have been scrapped when it was first proposed.
If Elysia is the epitome of cuteness, then Eden is the embodiment of beauty.
"She was one of the symbols of that era, a superstar shining across the world."
Elysia lavished praise on Eden.
Mei's interest was piqued. When she stepped into the Elysian Realm again, the sun was setting, withered leaves were falling, and under the big tree, a stunningly beautiful woman with long, purplish-red hair was quietly watching this scene.
It is the fourth of the Flame-Chasers, Eden, Signets with the color [Gold].
Elegance, Eden's speech, will only make the audience feel elegant.
Even Mei, who is known for her beauty, couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself.
"Go and illuminate all that you can illuminate, go and obtain all that you can obtain, and gather all the wealth and glory that the world seeks into one body."
"This is the inscription of [Gold]".
The opulent wine glass, engraved with jewels, slowly tilted, spilling crimson liquid over a mountain of gold coins.
"Sister Eden is so elegant."
Ling's face was full of envy.
Since deciding to pursue a career in the arts, Eden has become her idol and the goal she aspires to be. She has always dreamed of one day standing under the spotlight like Eden.
To become a superstar who shines throughout the world.
"Rin, I believe in you. With your voice and hard work, you will definitely stand on the world stage and surpass me."
"Eden said softly."
"I... I..."
Ling was flustered and at a loss.
Although Eden was her aspiration, no one would dare to make such a bold claim that their future achievements would surpass it, or even make them a superstar shining across the world.
"Yes, Rin, we all believe in you too~?"
Elysia had somehow walked behind the sofa and hugged Rin from behind.
"Um!"
Ling nodded excitedly.
Yaqing smiled as she watched this scene.
A global superstar? It's not impossible.
"By the way, Elysia, there was something off about your tone when you mentioned Eden."
Sakura's lips curled into a smile.
"Um?"
Elysia was taken aback.
"Whether it's me, Kevin, or Kalpas, your tone may be joking, but it can never compare to the excitement you feel when you mention Eden."
As the most enthusiastic shipper of any couple, Sakura turned around and lay down on the sofa, her eyes full of teasing.
"Elysia, your official love interest in the story isn't Eden, is it?"
Elysia is known for her high attack and low defense.
When Sakura teased her like that, she blushed immediately, opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
[Next, Elysia showed Mei Eden his adorable drunken antics.]
The sheer extravagance Eden displayed while drunk also shocked the audience.
After that, Elysia closed her eyes as if she were imitating someone, wondering how someone could still see the road with their eyes closed?
Mei looked at Elysia with a puzzled expression.
Taking the opportunity, Elysia introduced Mei to an expert in this field, Tianhui Zhiming Su.
Mei returned to the ancient Bodhi tree.
The audience already knew Su and had seen his riddle-like demeanor, just as he did in the Elysian Realm, spouting grand theories like a charlatan. Not only did the audience not understand, but Mei was also completely baffled.
"All things are impermanent, subject to the cycle of cause and effect, arising and ceasing in Setsuna, nothing more than a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow. Come, step into this boundless light."
"This is the inscription of [Tianhui]".
In the blink of an eye, Mei obtained two more Flame-Chasers Signets.
Eden's body stiffened for a moment.
Anyone would feel embarrassed to see themselves drunk on the big screen.
