Qianjie was Kalpas stunned and even thought that Mei had mistaken someone for someone else.

As a result, Mei's relentless provocation and taunts unsurprisingly ignited the powder keg that Kalpas. In his eyes, this Herrscher in front of him was just asking for death.

They eventually agreed to meet at a certain place Depths Elysian Realm for a final battle.

Kalpas's rage perfectly aligned with Mei's inner plan.

When Mei said, "Kalpas, please come here," the comments section froze for a moment. Everyone, including the members of the Golden Courtyard, was stunned.

They had never seen anyone dare to speak to Kalpas like that.

In reality, things might be more restrained, but in the story, Kalpas really does kill people.

"Now it's clear that Mei has really gone mad. After provoking Jie like this, she's doomed."

Little Knowledge had great faith in Kalpas's combat abilities. Before becoming Fusion Warrior, Kalpas had torn apart a Herrscher with his bare hands— the Herrscher of Ice from the Previous Era.

That's an incredibly terrifying level of power.

"Mei is getting more and more reckless. Canned Food, we can't keep following her, or we might die somewhere in the Elysian Realm one day."

Pardo looked at the Canned Food on top of Mobius's head and said seriously.

"Mei, she also..."

Aponia looked helpless.

It is impossible to evaluate Mei's current actions.

Just to prove whether the prophecy is true or false, he risked his own life. Was he really certain that he would step in to save her when she was facing death?

If she really does act on the prophecy, that would be best, but if Mei loses the bet, then it will truly be a disaster.

Aponia didn't think the enraged Kalpas would hold back.

"Mei is in a state of chaos right now. The pressure from Aponia is too great, and she is trying her best to break the current deadlock."

Eden frowned.

"But... such a crazy plan should not be carried out."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean...

Kiana was utterly incredulous when she saw Mei dare to provoke Kalpas.

The story of Kalpas killing Herrscher with his bare hands before becoming Fusion Warrior was running wild in their minds.

"Mei, what are you really thinking?"

Kiana blurted it out.

"Don't worry... I have a get-out-of-jail-free card."

Mei's tone was full of insecurity.

Clearly, even with the immunity to death granted by the "Post-Honkai Odyssey," she remained skeptical about whether she could survive Kalpas's attack.

"It's simple. Mei's gamble paid off. Aponia finally made her move, otherwise Mei probably wouldn't have survived."

Cecilia shook her head, and the way she looked at Mei changed.

Mei in the Elysian Realm seemed like a completely different person.

"Why can't it be me who defeats the Kalpas?"

Kallen couldn't help but glance at Mei.

She even suspected that the other person had been spending too much time with Kiana and that their IQs had become synchronized.

Mei an awkward laugh.

On their way to the meeting place, they encountered Elysia, who expressed her concern for Mei.

Mei then arrived at the site where Qianjie had Kalpas used as the final trial, and once again demonstrated her reckless and self-destructive behavior.

Faced with Mei's taunts, Kalpas said that everyone thinks he is crazy, but no one thinks he is stupid. He doesn't care what Mei's purpose is; all he wants is a fight!

"Inward and outward, kill all who meet! Come forward! March towards death! March towards—me!"

The sky suddenly changed color, and countless fireballs fell like meteors. Kalpas's attack was extremely fierce, just as he said, killing anyone he encountered!

"Come on! Show me one last desperate struggle!"

Kalpas suddenly leaped into the air, his feet burning with intense flames. Even Mei, as Herrscher, dared not take this attack head-on and could only ride her dragon to dodge.

Faced with Kurikara's breath, Kalpas felt as if he were in a hot spring, without any discomfort or pain, and instead burst into wild laughter.

"Congratulations, Herrscher. You've given it your all and finally proven yourself worthy of being killed! But this isn't a battle, it's a hunt! Hahahahahahaha!!!!"

The blazing flames gradually swirled, and the surrounding air seemed to rise dozens of degrees. The eyes beneath the Kalpas Mask revealed a light like that of a hunting beast, and the towering flames seemed to want to devour everything.

Amidst the maniacal laughter, Kalpas change was taking place at the center of the crimson pillar of light, or perhaps some kind of restriction was being broken.

The beam of light slowly dissipated, revealing Kalpas in the frame. He looked like a demon crawling out of hell, with large areas of his skin replaced by a lava-like substance, and he made no attempt to conceal his frenzied killing intent.

"Now... do everything you can to start running!!!"

After the Artificial Collapse, the Kalpas unfolded, its aura completely different from before, so powerful that it was terrifying and awe-inspiring.

"[You're facing a Herrscher?] But you're facing Kalpas!!!"

Initiating Kalpas Artificial Collapse.

It instantly attracted the attention of all the viewers.

Or perhaps, the current Kalpas is the true slayer of men.

Arrogant, manic, domineering, and tyrannical.

These words perfectly describe him.

"Holy crap! Jie's Artificial Collapse is so cool! Who could resist such Artificial Collapse?!"

Kevin was so excited he almost jumped off the sofa.

His eyes seemed to be sparkling.

Especially so far, as the leader of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, the strongest in the Previous Era, Signets of Salvation, his Artificial Collapse has not yet made its appearance!

It can't possibly be less impressive than the level of sophistication displayed by Kalpas, right?!

"Yaqing, Yaqing, can I activate the Artificial Collapse? I'm using an ancient body, and I used to be Fusion Warrior!"

Little Knowledge immediately grabbed Yaqing's arm.

Other women might find the Artificial Collapse ugly. But Little Knowledge was definitely not one of them. The coolness that Kalpas 'Artificial Collapse exuded made her unable to take her eyes off him.

"So cool! So Herrscher of Sentience cool!!!"

Little Knowledge really feels it's a pity that Kalpas isn't here, otherwise we could enjoy healthy laughter both on and off screen!

The passion was instantly ignited; this is a truly high-energy and memorable scene.

Not only is it exciting, it's incredibly exciting!!!

Elysia didn't know why Kevin and Little Knowledge were so agitated; she was worried about Mei in the story.

The higher Kalpas's combat power, the more dangerous Mei's situation becomes.

"The Artificial Collapse happened so suddenly. Mei seems to have really angered Kalpas."

Judging from the previous storyline, there are various limitations to Artificial Collapse, but the two currently undertaking Artificial Collapse do not seem to be limited by them.

But on second thought, these two don't seem to be ordinary people either. One is the founder of the Fusion Warrior. The other tore Herrscher apart with his bare hands before even becoming Fusion Warrior.

"Now we can only hope that Sister Nia will really step in to save Mei because of the prophecy."

Elysia prayed with both hands, especially towards Apollia in her arms.

Aponia was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Mobius unravels the Mei -Artificial Collapse with Klein's help. Kalpas has unravels the Artificial Collapse, whose help will Mei receive?

"Elysia, why don't you think it was you who saved Mei?"

Elysia was taken aback by what she heard.

She seemed never to have thought of it that way.

Mei was completely unable to withstand the Kalpas after the Artificial Collapse. She not only had to endure the pain left by the burning, but also the crazy mental attacks.

Kalpas let out a maniacal laugh, and the barrier of flames instantly resembled an ancient Roman battlefield, trapping Mei here. The blazing whirlwind of flames spun incessantly, and the air became scorching hot.

"Come, Herrscher! Throw yourselves into the flames together, and let me see... who will be burned to ashes first!!!"

Even Mei was astonished by the power displayed by Kalpas.

"Run—run away! Everywhere you go will turn to ashes!"

"I am the impending Honkai, I am the end!"

Mei was barely clinging to life under the onslaught of Kalpas, with no chance of further resistance.

The arm, Kalpas in flames, was raised high; if this strike landed, Mei would not survive.

"I have broken your fate, Aponia... Show yourself!"

Silence. There was no response.

There were no unexpected incidents, and no one offered any help.

A deathly silence.

"Broken!"

Or perhaps it was a premonition.

Mei's plan is too audacious. Things may not go according to plan.

"Why hasn't Aponia appeared yet?!"

Elysia felt a surge of anxiety.

If Aponia doesn't show up soon, Mei might really die at the hands of Kalpas.

"We'll never dare to mess with Brother Jie again."

Kalpas's frenzy in battle left a deep shadow on Pardo's youth; perhaps in the weeks that followed, she would avoid Kalpas with her tail between her legs.

Things didn't go as Mei expected, but she wouldn't give up because of it.

Since she couldn't fight fate with fate, she decided to rebel herself.

However, just as Mei made her decision, Aponia's gentle voice finally rang out.

"That's right, Mei. To experience death is also part of your destiny. Only in this way... can you understand how heavy it is."

The white clouds parted to reveal the blue sky, and holy light illuminated the battlefield, which had been burning fiercely for Kalpas, appearing one by one like a stairway to heaven. The holy nun descended slowly like a mother goddess of creation.

"Finally, we can all share the same feelings... to witness each other's existence. You can't believe it's irreversible without despair."

Let's stop here.

"The time promised by fate is far from coming."

"That scared me to death. I really thought Aponia wouldn't step in to save Mei."

Elysia patted that broad chest, which trembled and quivered like jelly.

"Did Mei- nee break the ten-day prophecy?"

Pardo was puzzled.

"It definitely doesn't count. Mei didn't die, and besides, it was completely different from our plan. She didn't decide to break the prophecy with her own death, but decided to rebel before she died."

Little Knowledge shook his head.

Mei has fooled the audience.

They all thought Kalpas Mei break the prophecy with her own death, but they didn't expect it was just to force Aponia to take action.

"But if we're interrupted like this, Kalpas probably won't let it go so easily, right?"

Eden said.

"Certainly..."
