Elysia's eyes were curved in a smile.

It might seem narcissistic to others, but when Elysia says it, it carries a unique kind of playfulness.

"Heh, Elysia, you're supposed to be a Herrscher, why don't you think about why the Previous Era didn't leave behind any skills related to you?"

Mobius finally showed some interest.

"Is it possible that you, as one of the Flame-Chasers, committed an unforgivable crime against human civilization, which is why your henchmen concealed your identity Herrscher?"

Mobius's words caused the smile on Elysia's face to gradually freeze.

"How could that be...? I am Herrscher, but I am definitely Herrscher who fights for humanity, Eden, what do you say?"

Elysia forced a smile, trying to convince others of her guess.

Eden nodded.

"I believe you, Elysia. And keeping it a secret isn't necessarily a bad thing; in Elysia, your death might have given them hope, so..."

"Eden said softly."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

With Eden's comfort, Elysia's mood brightened again.

Meanwhile, in Sirin's live stream room.

Sirin's fans have a very unique perspective on the issue.

Especially seeing Elysia and Mei walking side by side.

["Pfft, Elysia is actually so much shorter than Mei, I really can't believe it."]

"Don't say that, it hurts! Even though Fairy Girl is shorter than Mei, Fairy Girl weighs more than Mei!!!"

"You didn't let her off the hook either."

"Actually, Elysia has a pretty well-proportioned figure, but compared to Mei... she has a somewhat voluptuous beauty. It's not that Elysia is fat, but rather that Mei is rather thin."

Official data.

Elysia is 163cm tall and weighs 54.8kg.

Raiden Mei is 172cm tall and weighs 50kg.

Thankfully, it's an anime, not a game, so we can't see any official data. Otherwise, the audience would be laughing their heads off, and Elysia would be even more frustrated.

Elysia led Mei to the entrance of the garden, but did not rush in. She noticed Mei's nervousness and gave Mei time to calm down.

At this moment, Mei also recalled her goal and process of coming to the Elysian Realm, as if she was summarizing for the audience, or emphasizing the previous plot.

After all, it took a week or two to update, and the audience had forgotten most of the plot of the Elysian Realm.

Mei suddenly felt as if a thread had connected everything.

That's Elysia.

Upon entering the garden maze, Elysia inexplicably mentioned Kevin to Mei, and right around the corner, Kevin's figure appeared.

Mei initially thought that Kevin in front of her was also a memory of Elysia, but after getting closer, the bone-chilling coldness made her realize that it was the real person.

"Elysia, I respect your choice. But you should have informed us beforehand."

Kevin's tone was cold, and perhaps because of the presence of a third party, his words were somewhat vague.

Elysia sensed that Kevin wanted to talk to her alone, so she suggested that Mei take a stroll in the garden first. Mei didn't mind showing a little more patience.

"Kevin is quite the enigma."

Pardo's rant.

When Kevin appeared here, all the viewers understood that Kevin must know Elysia's identity Thirteenth Herrscher and had helped her hide it without mentioning it to Mei.

"That's normal. Perhaps all the Flame-Chasers know Elysia's identity, but they all chose to keep it from their successors. If Mei hadn't made it this far, she probably wouldn't have known this clue."

Sakura silently made a promise.

That is, all the Flame-Chasers knew that Elysia was the Thirteenth Herrscher.

Mei thought that Kevin probably wasn't the only Flame-Chasers to enter this place, and perhaps she could hear more clues about the Thirteenth Herrscher from others.

As Mei strolled around, she soon spotted Hua admiring the scenery.

Hua was, to be precise, in a daze; she hadn't expected there to be such an area deep within the Elysian Realm.

Mei was puzzled.

Did Aponia not tell the other Flame-Chasers?

When Mei mentioned that the information about the Thirteenth Herrscher was stored here, Hua's surprise didn't seem fake.

"The Thirteenth Herrscher?! That's..."

Mei thought Hua would know something, but Hua decisively said that he knew very little about the truth and that one-sided information might mislead Mei.

Since Mei learned about this from Elysia, it would be best if Elysia told her herself.

Silence.

Silence fell over the Home Theater.

Sakura, in particular, never expected that the flag she had just set would be slapped in the face so quickly.

Is there really a memory that has no memory at all?

Hahahaha!

Little Knowledge's laughter broke the awkward silence.

"I always felt that Hua was kept in the dark."

Pardo shook her head.

Hua is willing to say anything, yet Hua knows nothing.

This leads to an awkward situation.

The only person willing to speak knows nothing, while a group of people who know nothing are unwilling to speak.

"This actually makes us feel that Hua is very sincere. She probably really doesn't know, Kevin and the others seem to have been keeping Mei all along."

Sakura said helplessly.

If it were anyone else, saying they didn't know and therefore didn't want to talk about it would be unbelievable, but when it came to Hua, it seemed perfectly normal to them.

Sirin's live stream.

Hua genuinely didn't know.

Sirin was also extremely helpless.

"Poor Hua, I always feel like her comrades are hiding things from her."

"That's not it. I actually feel that when Hua retained his memories, he was a pure warrior. That's why he didn't quite understand those bureaucratic intrigues."

"Uh... so you mean Hua is a fun fighter?!"

"Isn't that the Kalpas?!"

"Hilarious! My brother Jie just loves killing Honkai, so what?"

The discussion was heated.

The central point of discussion is Hua's memory.

Mei walks up the stairs and sees Kosma.

Although she was used to silence, she still reminded Kosma that communication relied on language, not facial expressions.

From Mei's observation, Kosma didn't seem surprised that Elysia was a Herrscher, and was clearly someone who knew about it.

Then, just as Mei was about to leave, Kosma suddenly called out to her.

"Wait a minute, you were also affected by Elysia..."

Kosma's gaze slowly moved upwards, finally settling on Mei's corner.

"You also...?!"

"It's inevitable, don't worry too much about it, everyone has experienced it."

Kosma seemed to sense his embarrassment and lowered his head.

Yaqing took a special look.

Everyone's faces were filled with suppressed laughter, a feeling of wanting to laugh but not daring to.

"It seems that many people have fallen victim to Elysia's evil deeds."

Mobius gave Elysia a deep look.

She was thankful that after becoming Fusion Warrior, she didn't retain much of her beastly appearance.

For example, Sakura's donkey... fox ears.

"Snakey, remember what Kosma said: everyone has gone through this."

Yaqing gently reminded him.

Mobius stiffened. There were indeed no animal organs left on her body, but her body looked as smooth and tender as a snake.

That couldn't be...

Mei noticed a small island shrouded in mist in the distance, which seemed out of place in Eternal Elysium, but she couldn't find the entrance.

Mei turned around and met Sakura.

According to Sakura, it was Elysia who told her that she hoped that, in a sense, as a fellow countrywoman, she could take this opportunity to chat with Mei more.

Sakura didn't seem to understand either, and didn't even know where she was, so she had to ask Mei.

Mei explained the Eternal Elysium to Sakura, and then they traveled together, enjoying the scenery along the way, talking about the past and the cherry blossom trees.

Mei felt that Sakura's memory probably didn't know anything about the Thirteenth Herrscher, so she asked her what kind of person Elysia was.

"Elysia? She's probably the most innocent of Flame-Chasers."

Mei never expected to hear this answer from Sakura.

After all, in her mind, simplicity was not something that could be associated with Elysia.

Perhaps Elysia gives people a mysterious feeling, but Sakura is certain of one thing: Elysia has always treated everyone around her with sincerity.

Mei mentioned that more than one person called Elysia a traitor, but the truth was not what others said, and it might not even be what they saw with their own eyes. Regardless of the truth, what matters is one's own thoughts.

Sometimes, the truth itself is not important; what matters is trying to believe something from the truth.

Mei hesitated for a moment, but still brought it up in a slightly veiled way.

What if Sakura accidentally discovers a truth that she absolutely cannot accept?

Ying believes that Flame-Chasers are all deceased people, and nothing can be changed or accepted anymore; this is more like the norm for them.

"However, no matter what a person faces, the truly meaningful thought is probably always, 'What else can be done?'"

"For the sake of this era, for the sake of the future, or for the sake of oneself now, whatever the reason, people only have one choice: to take action."

Mei seemed to understand Elysia's intentions.

Facts and the truth.

"Fellow townsman?"

Sakura's expression was strange.

If it were Yae Sakura, it could barely be counted, but Sakura has been dead for 50,000 years. One is in the present civilization, and the other Previous Era.

What kind of fellow townsman is this?

"These bouncy ears are so cute."

Elysia's eyes lit up.
