"But... isn't this too cruel to Sakura?"

Elysia looked on with pity.

His dearest sister, his only remaining family member, paid the ultimate price because of the kindness of his comrade-in-arms.

If Sakura knew, she would probably...

"I'm afraid it's not just that. The ancient Divine Sound, the so-called 'those who fall into demonic possession must be punished,' should also be a kind of commandment: never give up hope of fighting against the Honkai... sigh."

Little Knowledge sighed.

Aponia looked dejected.

She even suspected that her character in the story remained in the Depths, perhaps to atone for the sins she had committed, or perhaps because she was too ashamed to face Sakura...

If she really saw the future, Mei's arrival truly would bring them destruction, Aponia would probably actually kill Mei, instead of just putting on an act like Sue did.

Mei has approached Kalpas again.

That porter who used to work at the sanatorium at dusk.

Upon hearing Aponia send a dangerous signal to Mei, Kalpas's previous cold killing intent vanished, replaced by extreme excitement.

"As long as you can slap that haughty face to the ground, break those hands that everyone envies... I'll do it myself!"

"There's no need for that right now. I just want to know who she really is."

"Self-righteous, hypocritical, and deserving of death..."

Mei wanted a more direct answer, like something about a porter, which made Kalpas suddenly lose control. However, she also learned something: Aponia was secretly taking in those Collapse Disease, which led to Kalpas's...

"Release my commandments! I will tear Aponia to shreds with my own hands! I will show her... just how foolish she has been!"

Kalpas gradually became unable to communicate, Mei, seeing that she couldn't get any information from him, left.

Kalpas harbored an extreme hatred for Aponia.

The audience has already seen it.

The gazes of everyone in the courtyard then turned to Aponia.

Aponia was somewhat embarrassed.

"I made so many mistakes in the story, it's only natural that Kalpas hates me."

Seeing Aponia looking so sad, the gentle Miss Pink Elf felt extremely sorry for her, so under the guise of comforting her, she pulled the stunningly beautiful nun into her arms.

Aponia was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

She naturally knew what Elysia was thinking.

"It's fortunate that it was synthesized. If Brother Jie had mixed it, people would probably suspect it was domestic violence if they heard it."

Kevin complains.

Mobius couldn't help but laugh out loud.

How could Aponia, who suffered domestic violence at the hands of Kalpas calamities, have such a dream?

"Oh, Mei —come quickly and beg me."

"That's what the Raven said in its charmingly innocent way."

"What do you want? Just don't die in a little while?"

Mei's hand was already on the hilt of the knife.

Just as Raven was about to reveal Sakura's sister's story, Mei was once again drawn into the Depths. Aponia seemed to have known about Kalpas's hatred all along, and even said that probably less than one in ten people didn't hate her.

After Mei emerged from the Depths, she encountered Elysia and mentioned the Ten-Day Prophecy of Aponia.

Upon hearing Aponia's prophecy, even Elysia became more serious. She told Mei that the future Aponia saw was probably an unchangeable fact.

Even Aponia herself could only see it, but couldn't make any changes.

Aponia had made many attempts. One of the members she saw in the future, in order to avoid death, she forced him to stay in the Depths, but he still died in the end.

To date, Aponia's prophecies have never been wrong.

After that, Mei approached Su, who could also see the future.

Sue offered her own perspective: if they were all puppets manipulated by fate, then Aponia would also be among them, except that she could see the strings binding the puppets.

Silence.

The atmosphere gradually fell silent.

Aponia's character is tragically portrayed; she can see the future, but she cannot change what is predetermined, and she can only watch helplessly as those horrific events unfold.

"Sister Elysia seems quite certain about Sister Nia's prophecy, but if Sister Nia's prophecy is destined to be unchangeable, Sister Nia really will kill Mei in ten days, then how did Mei survive until the Post-Honkai Odyssey?"

Pardo's little head was filled with big questions.

"It's simple, Mei, as the protagonist, definitely broke this prophecy!"

Kevin was so certain.

Yaqing's expression was strange.

Has it been broken?

Perhaps.

The Elysian Realm was indeed destroyed because of Mei's arrival.

After learning about Aponia's experiences, Elysia felt even more heartbroken.

"Elysia, I know how you feel, but... you're holding me so tight I can't breathe..."

Aponia's face was flushed, from holding back her emotions.

"I'm sorry, Sister Nia."

Elysia quickly let go.

"Sister Nia, you're really in a terrible situation!"

Little Knowledge sighed.

"Is it tragic? This is just the storyline of Aponia. Perhaps some of us will have it even worse than her."

Mobius waved his hand.

What could be worse than being tricked by your own memory?

"Yes, I'm talking about you, Elysia."

As the Flame-Chasers to appear in the Elysian Realm, Elysia must have many secrets hidden within her, but Mei has not yet uncovered them.

Or perhaps the screenwriter is waiting for a big surprise.

It was big enough to break everyone's defenses.

But Mobius believed that he would not shed a single tear if Elysia were stabbed, absolutely not!

"How could this be! How could Yaqing bear to kill such a beautiful and gentle girl like me!"

Elysia had no idea she would be stabbed.

Yaqing had no idea where her confidence came from.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Meanwhile, in Central Europe.

"Ah?!"

Kiana's expression turned strange upon hearing Elysia's certainty.

There was a hint of surprise mixed with worry, and a hint of a smile mixed with worry.

"If Aponia's prophecy has never been wrong, then Mei ... you're in danger."

Kiana was all smiles.

Mei, however, didn't care at all, after all, she had the immunity Post-Honkai Odyssey.

"Kiana, if I accept all the Flame-Chasers Signets, I'll be way ahead of you."

"Hmph, I am now the Herrscher of Finality!"

Chapter 529 Mei: Kalpas, come here!

Mei entered the Elysian Realm once again, and a familiar feeling welled up inside her. She had figured out Aponia's ability: saying "please" would make it impossible for anyone to refuse.

Mei's contemplation made Aponia's voice sound slightly aggrieved. Then, she activated the commandment, and Mei's hands were unconsciously touched.

Aponia immediately saw Mei's plan to rebel, and if Mei hadn't woken up in time, she would have seen Mei and Kiana's past.

Mei frowned. She longed to hear Aponia say for herself whether fate could be fought against.

As a result, Aponia remained the riddle-maker as always.

Mei could sense that Aponia was hiding something, but if she wanted to know, she would have to break the prophecy.

Mei returned to the hall.

"I have a feeling that this week's chapter is all about Sister Nia. She's so mysterious. No wonder Pardo said that taking Mei to the Depths would attract so many people. It's true what they say."

Elysia stroked her smooth, fair chin with her right hand.

"That's normal, Elysia. After all, Aponia is the only Flame-Chasers who hasn't given Mei Signets yet."

Eden said helplessly.

"Actually, if Mei were to leave the Elysian Realm now, would Sister Nia follow her from the Elysian Realm into the present to fulfill the prophecy?"

Pardo scratched her head and expressed her doubts.

"Flame-Chasers is ultimately a memory entity, so he shouldn't be able to leave the Elysian Realm. Otherwise, the current civilization wouldn't only have the surviving Flame-Chasers showing up."

Little Knowledge did not believe that Flame-Chasers's memory could leave the Elysian Realm and go to reality.

"Then let's run now, Mei, and go back to the Elysian Realm in ten days."

The timid Pardo's first reaction was to run.

"But if Mei runs away, is she still Mei?"

Little Knowledge's rhetorical question left Pardo speechless.

Mei then encountered Raven, who suggested that she temporarily leave Elysian Realm, but she refused.

Mei decided to reverse her approach and focus her attention on Mobius and Kalpas, two Flame-Chasers who had truly caused the deaths of their successors.

Mei's idea was extremely bold. Since Aponia predicted that she would die in ten days, she was very curious about what would have happened if she had encountered a situation where she was bound to die ten days ago.

Therefore, she must face Kalpas.

"Ah?!"

Mei's ideas and plans refreshed all viewers' impressions of her.

This kind of madness, this kind of audacity, was something they could never have imagined.

It could even be described as foolish.

To risk one's life for a single prophecy.

"Mei gone mad?!"

Little Knowledge's eyes widened.

"It's all World Serpent's fault! Look what he's done to Mei!!"

Mobius tilted his head.

"It has nothing to do with the World Serpent, it's all the fault of the little lackey."

Kevin was completely bewildered, not understanding how the topic had shifted to him.

Mei approached Kalpas, but before Kalpas could finish speaking, she heard...

"Kalpas, please come over here."
