The Thirteenth Herrscher, Elysia!!!

Eden tapped her forehead helplessly.

"Elysia, you have to explore this for yourself. If I tell you everything, then there will be no fun in the Elysian Realm."

"Hmm..."

Mei made further contact with Aponia and learned about the nature of the Commandments from others. After exchanging words of farewell with Raven, she approached Vill-V.

Vill-V is a special person who is not affected by the commandments. As the builder of the Depths, she is also the gateway to the Depths.

Moreover, Mei could sense that Aponia's actions seemed to be driven by two opposing thoughts: one was her own idea, and the other was contrary to it.

Although fate was used to explain it, Mei clearly could not accept it.

Therefore, Mei suspects that Aponia has a mysterious companion in this ten-day prophecy.

Mei's sole purpose in coming to the Elysian Realm is to reach its deepest point and obtain the true secrets of the Moth Chasing Fire. Aponia appears during her journey and is preventing her from going any further.

The prophecy of Aponia was meant to protect the Depths, hidden secrets, transferring them to Aponia so that those secrets would never see the light of day.

Vill-V was slightly shocked by Mei's analysis and judgment, and clapped her hands in admiration, saying that Mei seemed more suitable to be the Herrscher of Reason than the Herrscher of Thunder.

Ultimately, the two reached a deal: Vill-V would reveal everything about herself to Mei in exchange for building a bridge to the Depths, and Mei, in turn, would have to do the same, without hiding anything from her.

This is a one-way ticket. Vill-V can take Mei to the Depths, but she cannot help Mei leave.

The conversation between Mei and Vill-V was incredibly informative.

This directly overturned the ten-day prophecy.

Viewers had felt something was off about the ten-day prophecy long ago, and now it has been proven that the so-called ten-day prophecy was just a way for Aponia to divert attention.

After all, the appearance of the ten-day prophecy was simply contradictory.

"I (Herrscher of Sentience), that makes perfect sense! Why is Aponia so obsessed with killing Mei when the future can't be changed? Her goal was never because Mei would bring destruction to the Elysian Realm, but rather..."

Little Knowledge suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Everyone's gaze slowly turned to Elysia, without the slightest hesitation.

Elysia was still engrossed in the story and didn't notice anything amiss.

Why are you all looking at me?

Elysia suddenly realized what was happening, looked at everyone's gaze, and tremblingly pointed to herself.

"You don't suspect that I'm Sister Nia's partner, do you?"

"Hey, Elysia, you're not too stupid."

Mobius chuckled.

"So far, you have the most secrets hidden about you. Why don't you reflect on what kind of fate has made Aponia hide these secrets for so long?"

Mobius widened his eyes dramatically.

"Oh, you wouldn't happen to be the culprit who destroyed the Previous Era, would you?"

When Elysia heard this, she puffed up her cheeks in anger.

"The fairy lady is definitely not a villain!!!"

Pardo raised her hand tremblingly.

"But... Sister Elysia, the impression you're giving the audience right now doesn't seem like that of a good person."

"Pardo!!!"

Pardo's ears twitched, and she quickly hid behind Little Knowledge.

Elysia glared angrily at Yaqing.

A smile appeared on Yaqing's lips.

That's how everyone suspected Elysia was a villain, and then...

This is exactly what he wanted to see!

Chapter 531 The Thirteenth Herrscher, Elysia!!!

"Ha, do you still have the nerve to talk about me like that?!"

Mobius gave a cold laugh.

She was the first to plot against Mei, but as the first to be exposed, she was practically harmless compared to Aponia, Elysia, and Vill-V.

This is similar to playing Werewolf. If the werewolf is revealed on the first night, it might make the audience feel threatened, but compared to the werewolf hiding among the villagers, the werewolf who is exposed directly seems harmless.

"Tsk, I didn't expect this to turn out this way."

Little Knowledge clicked his tongue.

"It's true that this place is Elysian Realm, so it's best not to say what should be said."

The Elysian Realm is a large-scale werewolf game full of riddles.

Little Knowledge now looks at everyone with suspicion, except for the old-fashioned.

After all, she's an old-fashioned person who truly knows everything.

Even after the cooperation was established, Mei still expressed suspicion about Vill-V's timely appearances each time, as if she was there specifically to provide crucial assistance to her.

Just as Mei, with the help of Vill-V, was heading to the Depths, Vill-V's personalities appeared one by one on the dark screen, insane and chaotic.

What puzzled the audience was that the last sentence seemed to be spoken by Vill-V, but its content was extremely explosive.

"Visitors... please help us!"

"Ah?!"

Upon hearing Vill-V's last words, the audience looked completely bewildered.

The impression that Vill-V left on them was no less than that of Mobius's madness, but the two madnesses were different. Mobius's madness was about experimentation, while Vill-V's madness was about multiple personalities.

But in the end, Mei was sent to save her?

No, it's about saving them?

"Vill-V is hiding quite a few secrets."

Kevin smiled.

This Elysian Realm is getting more and more interesting.

Everyone has a secret.

Up until now, no one thinks that the story of the Elysian Realm will come to an end this week, and Mei has not discovered all of Flame-Chasers's secrets.

Mei saw those fleeting glimpses from before and realized that they weren't the whole story; in the end, Vill-V had deceived her.

But now is not the time to think about these things; she has already set foot on the path.

Aponia reappeared, but instead of taking action to stop him, she tried to dissuade him with words.

But nothing could shake Mei's resolve.

It wasn't until Mei truly ventured into the Depths and met Aponia.

Aponia knelt with her hands in prayer, like a devout nun.

Upon meeting Aponia, Mei finally confirmed her guess about the ten-day prophecy. Faced with Aponia's dissuasion, she bluntly stated that Aponia could not see her so-called destiny at all.

As for the prophecy, it was simply to prevent anyone from exploring the secrets hidden in the Depths. If someone like Mei crossed the line, Aponia would shoot them down.

Aponia's tone changed; it was no longer as gentle as before, but rather somewhat cold. She stated that Mei had disappointed her.

"I am the only one who sees fate... and I am the only one who can fight against it."

Others who think they are rebelling against fate are simply unaware that they are caught up in it.

Aponia's claim that Mei brought about change to the Elysian Realm was actually the opposite; before taking action, she wanted to point out some of Mei's mistakes.

She could indeed see destiny, and there were parts of it that had to be concealed. It wasn't a lie. Mei's destiny, after intersecting with hers, would be severed here.

She didn't know, so she became curious. She became curious, so she approached Mei. At this moment, she finally got the answer: either she had erased Mei, or she had erased the Elysian Realm.

Aponia talked about her past; she, like Mei, had once rebelled against fate, but failed too many times. Later, she found a completely new direction: to create her own world and become destiny itself.

The audience was startled when Aponia's tone changed.

Aponia, who once exuded a gentle, motherly aura, now carries a murderous intent that sends chills down one's spine.

"Holy crap! Another twist?!"

Everyone's eyes widened.

They initially thought that Aponia's supposed ability to see destiny was merely a way to conceal a secret Depths, but to their surprise, Aponia could indeed see destiny, while the prophecies were both cut off.

"Etc!"

Little Knowledge suddenly paused the playback of the story.

"Didn't Sister Nia say at the beginning that Mei's arrival brought destruction to the Elysian Realm? How come now it's said that Mei's fate was intertwined with hers and then both were severed?"

"It's possible that what was said earlier was false and what was said later was true, but it's also possible that both were true."

Eden frowned.

Little Knowledge was completely bewildered.

So far, who can be sure what those Flame-Chasers said? Who knows if there will be any further twists and turns later?

For example, Mobius suddenly becomes the good guy who saves Mei.

The Elysian Realm is a complete deception of the audience.

"So that means a battle between Mei and Sister Nia is inevitable?"

Elysia looked worried.

If Mei were to fight Aponia, it would be like an egg hitting a rock. Mei almost died at the hands of Kalpas just now. It's really hard not to worry about her dealing with Aponia, who is even more mysterious than Kalpas.

"At least... Mei is most likely not going to die."

Kevin's tone lacked confidence.

Although he had the immunity from death granted by Post-Honkai Odyssey as a prerequisite, he couldn't imagine any possibility that Mei could survive against Aponia.

Unless... Aponia stops in time.

The battle is about to begin.

"Mei, since you insist on this, then let me cut off this wrong path completely."

Mei's initial battles, under the influence of the Commandments, were unable to inflict any damage on Aponia.

But Aponia wouldn't just stand there and let Mei hit her. The oppressive energy surged forth, and she floated in mid-air, her eyes turning blood red, and dreamlike, butterfly-like wings unfurled behind her.

"There is no more [Aponia] here. I have given will to destiny, and... I have obtained its majestic and beautiful name."

"Herrscher of Thunder, awaken... and then you will be saved!"

Elysia practically pressed her pretty face against the screen.

"This is Aponia's... Artificial Collapse?"

The Artificial Collapse of Aponia appeared utterly holy, like an angel descended to earth.

As the third hero to show the audience what man- Flame-Chasers Artificial Collapse looks like, unlike Kalpas's demonic and Mobius's giant serpent, Aponia's Artificial Collapse is completely in line with Elysia's aesthetic.

"So beautiful."

Little Knowledge blurted it out.

"So Sister Nia was originally a butterfly?"

Pardo couldn't help but glance at Aponia.

Currently, it is known that Mobius is a snake, Pardo is a cat, Sakura is a donkey... a fox, Aponia is a butterfly, and the others are not known to be animals.

"Isn't that a giant fluttering moth?"

Mobius couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly suppressed his laughter the next second.

Because of Aponia's death stare.
