Little Senti, the Wedding's Chief Planner.

Mobius's expression was very strange; he wanted to laugh but dared not, and his mouth twitched wildly.

"Speaking of which, I'm very curious now, what exactly does my Artificial Collapse look like?"

Kevin was smug.

While people say they are curious about the Artificial Collapse, they are actually even more curious about what kind of Honkai Beasts genes he implanted.

"Broken!"

Little Knowledge reacted quickly.

"Sister Nia is serious now, she's even activated Artificial Collapse, who else can come to save Mei?"

Everyone then came to their senses.

Aponia even activated the Artificial Collapse, which means she must have gone all out.

After Aponia entered the Artificial Collapse, Mei gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. As one beam of light after another fell, Mei had no choice but to keep dodging.

However, just when Mei was about to lose, the gift Griseo had given her in advance came in handy. Aponia's ability was temporarily affected, but it did not completely turn the tide.

But soon, the Raven's voice reached Mei's ears, and she successfully "persuaded" Klein, Mei received the blessing once again.

Aponia has been nerfed, Raiden Mei been buffed.

With one cut and one rise, Mei finally gained the upper hand.

"You lost, Aponia."

"Pfft."

Elysia couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Klein didn't seem to agree with Raven's suggestion of Raven; from the sobbing sound, it was clear that Klein was being held hostage.

"How dare you touch my Klein."

Mobius narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Yaqing whistled, seemingly indifferent, silently expressing her sorrow for her old friend.

Raven, an employee of World Serpent, angered the president of World Serpent because of the Schicksal Destiny.

Raven, may you rest in peace.

"Mei, she actually won..."

Little Knowledge opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Despite having external support, Mei actually managed to defeat Aponia.

"Great!"

Pardo couldn't help but feel excited for Mei's victory.

But then she suddenly realized that Aponia seemed to be sitting right across from her.

"Hehe, Sister Nia, that's not what I meant."

Pardo gave an awkward smile.

"It's alright, Pardo, I know."

Aponia remains gentle.

"Did we really come here for the sake of winning or losing? Mei... do you still firmly believe that?"

Aponia's dreamlike, butterfly-like wings slowly dissipated into specks of light.

The next second, the scene on the screen shattered as if a mirror had broken. Mei was holding a long sword, but before her, Aponia was still kneeling on the ground, praying with her hands clasped.

Just like when we first met.

The sudden reversal left the audience completely bewildered.

"Mei... welcome... to the Depths."

Aponia's voice was as gentle as ever.

"I (I Herrscher of Sentience profanity)!"

Little Knowledge blurted out a swear word.

Everyone thought Mei had defeated Aponia, but it turns out we're back to square one.

Is it a dream or a save file reload?

The group looked at each other, their faces showing confusion and disbelief.

Mei was deeply shocked.

Aponia said that what she just saw was the future, and if Mei attacks her again, everything will repeat itself.

Aponia asked Griseo about the help she had given Mei, and Mei replied with a promise. Aponia said that was good, and that if Mei deliberately used Griseo, even if it went against her own will, she would still eliminate a Herrscher for the sake of future generations.

Aponia admitted that the so-called prophecy was just a test for Mei, but she was still a little confused as to why Mei was so determined to step into it.

Mei gave her own answer: even if the ending cannot be changed, she wants to decide on the process by which she can reach that result.

Upon hearing this answer, Aponia sighed, realizing that someone had once said the same thing to her, and that person had resolutely headed towards their predetermined fate.

But as Mei knew, the fate of the Previous Era remained unchanged.

"I choose to remember everything about that person, and to cherish the gifts God has given me."

"I record every moment that person's life intertwined with mine, and then carefully review it over the long course of time—"

"I saw how she survived, I saw how she fought, I saw her walk through the mud, I saw her crowned with thorns... attending her the Last Banquet in new attire."

"In her life, I discovered things that I had previously overlooked."

"Just like you and I are now, on that day, she stood in front of me and told me about her fate of disappearing in ten days."

"And fourteen days later, the new clothes Eden had prepared for her were about to be finished, and there was still genuine joy and anticipation in her eyes. Sixteen days later, Kevin's birthday would arrive, and she would softly sing a lullaby, leaving him with one last gift."

"Then, she said that sentence too."

Silence, silence is Cambridge tonight.

Everyone's eyes then turned to Elysia.

Even if they don't know the past, even if they don't know the plot of the Previous Era, they will always silently believe in their hearts that the person Aponia was talking about is Elysia.

Elysia blushed.

"I never imagined that I would leave such a deep impression on Aponia. I am such a sinful woman."

Elysia made a joke.

"If that is the case, I will certainly choose to remember what Elysia did."

Aponia smiled slightly.

Mobius's gaze kept lingering on Eden and Aponia.

Eden, the leader of the Love Chefs, and Aponia, the second Love Chef.

Yaqing had something she dared not say aloud, because if she did, it would cause a misunderstanding.

There are only two kinds of people in the world: those who like Elysia and those who don't know Elysia.

"If what Sister Nia said is true, then wasn't Sister Elysia's death in the Previous Era too tragic?"

Pardo's voice trembled slightly.

"Eden would have made her new clothes in fourteen days, and Kevin's birthday is in sixteen days, but in ten days..."

"That's precisely why it's all the more worthy of being remembered."

Yaqing will always remember one thing.

Only tragedy and regret can leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Honkai 3rd truly lives up to its reputation as a sunny, cheerful, and positive story!

"However, Sister Nia Griseo. If Mei doesn't give a good answer, I feel like Sister Nia could really eliminate a Herrscher for future generations."

Little Knowledge had a strange feeling.

Aponia's murderous intent at that time was not an act.

"That's for sure. Not to mention Aponia, even if we saw someone taking advantage of little Griseo, we would probably make the same decision."

Kevin tapped the coffee table lightly, making a crisp sound.

Aponia didn't know what Mei's choice would bring. So she let Mei continue forward until she saw that kindred spirit.

Beneath the pink crystal, a ladder to heaven seems to have been formed, so holy and bright. The place it leads to is the meaning Mei sought in the Elysian Realm, the secret hidden in the Depths.

The location of the Thirteenth Herrscher.

So much groundwork has been laid.

It seemed that one name came to mind for all the audience members.

Elysia was even more taken aback.

She recalled that she seemed to have said something to Yaqing.

She also wants to become a Herrscher who fights for humanity.

At that time, Yaqing did not give a formal answer.

Upon hearing the Thirteenth Herrscher, Mei was initially surprised. Instead of taking the first step, she asked Aponia a question.

Was that hatred you felt just now genuine?

Aponia knew that telling Mei might cause her to lose trust in Flame-Chasers, but as a way of thanking Griseo, she told Mei that she had always been pessimistic about humanity and believed that some people should be wiped out of the world.

She was deeply dissatisfied with the so-called heroic act, that a noble person should pay the price for the survival of a base person.

She wasn't a hero, but she occasionally believed that everyone needed to be saved.

Mei stepped through the glowing door.

That familiar, pleasant voice rang in my ears once again.

"You've finally arrived. Well then, let me reintroduce myself."

It was a beautiful garden, filled with colorful flowers and fluttering butterflies like a dream, but the pretty figure sitting in the middle was the real eye-catcher.

"The second of the Flame-Chasers, Elysia one with the Inscription of [True Self]. And you should have guessed her other identity long ago, right?"

"However, when you actually stand before the Thirteenth Herrscher..."

The Pink Elf let out a soft laugh, so beautiful that she looked like an angel from heaven. I wish I could remember that moment forever and make time stand still.

"Hi, how are you feeling?"

The fact that Elysia is the thirteenth Herrscher did not surprise the audience too much.

Because Aponia had laid so much groundwork beforehand, they were practically about to tell the audience Elysia's name.

"I should have realized it sooner. Why do I care so much about Mei? Because we are the same kind of people. We are both Herrscher."

Elysia clapped her hands, seemingly lost in thought.

They all assumed that Elysia was acting out of lust and never considered the other possibility, since they knew Elysia very well.

"So this is the secret that Aponia has been hiding all along?"

Mobius opened his mouth.

Many of the Herrscher from the Previous Era were also familiar faces, such as Hua's captain Himiko, Sakura's sister Rin, and her most important person Klein.

They are all Herrscher, but none of them are as special as Elysia.

"So... the name of True Self, from the very beginning, Elysia never deceived Mei, what she showed was her True Self."

A flash of understanding crossed Eden's eyes.

I thought she was a fangirl turned black, but it turns out she's a fangirl turned pink.
