The Flame-Chasers Have Never Been United.

"Shut up, Aponia."

Kosma's attitude towards Aponia was not good.

"Stop here... That's what you should do now."

Kosma wished he could shrink himself into a quail.

He never imagined that he, in the story, would dare to speak to Aponia like that.

"You're just my type."

Kalpas couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

If "shu kou" were changed to "shu zuo" (meaning "shut up"), Kalpas would probably want to treat Kosma as his number one underling.

"..."

Kosma wanted to refute, but couldn't help but remain silent.

"Kosma, I won't blame you. Don't be afraid. I'm too dangerous in the story. You should be praised for protecting Griseo and preventing me from getting close."

Aponia's tone remained gentle.

But this made Kosma involuntarily shrink back.

He couldn't figure out what Aponia meant, whether it was positivity or sarcasm.

"I always feel like that old folk song is hinting at something?"

Sakura's observations are very sharp.

"It can't be implying something about Sister Elysia, can it?"

"Pardo said jokingly."

"Elysia is an alien from the sky..."

Pardo suddenly remembered something halfway through her speech: there were indeed Sky People in Post-Honkai Odyssey. If Elysia came from outer space, it wasn't impossible.

"It seems like Brother Jie is also..."

Ling hesitated for a moment.

If it were just Elysia, it would be hard to believe, but if you add Kalpas as well...

"Ark..."

Vill-V smiled.

"Now I understand why Kosma reacted so strongly. There's another project on par with the Stigmata Project: the Ark Project."

If it weren't for Vill-V's mention, the Ark Project would have been almost forgotten by the audience.

"Yes, Ark Project, but didn't Kevin say that project had failed?"

Elysia was puzzled.

"Ark Project continued to search for another planet suitable for human habitation, but because it hadn't sent any messages back to Earth for so long, Kevin thought it had failed. From beginning to end, Ark Project was never definitively considered a failure."

Vill-V paused for a moment.

"Moreover, those who carried out Ark Project will most likely survive and Signets by the Stars..."

Vill-V's words were already quite clear.

The executor of Ark Project is Griseo, and she is most likely not dead and will continue to appear in later parts of the story.

The previously silent atmosphere finally softened with a hint of joy.

"That's great!"

Elysia exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't rush to open the champagne at halftime, this is just my guess."

Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, Vill-V poured cold water on their happiness.

All eyes turned to Yaqing.

Yaqing, on the other hand, adopted an attitude of indifference, as if it were none of her business.

It makes you want to punch him.

The scene returns to Mei and Elysia in the archives.

After learning about Elysia's past, Mei's attitude towards Elysia softened somewhat, and even when Alicia flirted with her, she did not respond as coldly as before.

However, just as Mei was about to continue exploring, the typewriter malfunctioned.

The Fairy Elysia tried to fix it, smashing it hard with her magic wand, which caused the typewriter to completely stop working.

Fairy Elysia insisted that she didn't break the typewriter herself, but that it was out of paper.

Mei ostensibly went out to find paper, but in reality, she wanted the Fairy Elysia to hurry up and repair the typewriter.

Elysia was extremely focused on finding the paper and suggested that they split up to search. Mei didn't say anything, but from the direction Elysia left, she deduced that Alicia had probably gone back to repair the typewriter with the Fairy Elysia.

Mei, acting alone, inexplicably stumbled upon a standoff between Aponia and Kosma.

Aponia wants to tell Griseo the truth, or rather, the secret she's been hiding, while Kosma believes that telling Griseo the truth would be hurtful to her.

In this tense atmosphere, Griseo was a little scared. To avoid bringing any negative impact to Griseo, Mei chose to meddle in other people's business.

Kosma was very aggressive towards Aponia, and even scoffed at her talk of protection.

"Here's a piece of advice for you, Herrscher of Thunder."

"Don't easily trust any of us."

"We all have secrets, and so do I, including..."

Kosma quickly glanced in Griseo's direction.

"Flame-Chasers... is not a hero."

"The so-called 'Elysian Realm'... is far from as wonderful as its name suggests."

"Herrscher, if you continue to intend to dig for something here... you'd better remember this and not do that again."

Kosma rarely spoke so much.

This is both advice and a warning to Mei.

"Hmm~, it's rare to see Kosma say so much."

Elysia glanced at Kosma.

"However, Kosma is also right. Everyone has secrets, Flame-Chasers is no exception. But what I didn't expect was that he actually glanced at Griseo when he said that."

Sakura was somewhat surprised.

After all, in their eyes, Griseo was like a blank sheet of paper, so how could she possibly be hiding any secrets?

But everyone has secrets; that's human nature.

"I actually think Kosma is right. Flame-Chasers is not a hero, but a group of rebels who gathered together under the oppression of the Honkai."

Kevin nodded in agreement.

Jie, meaning tyranny.

There is only one word difference between Ying Jie and Hero, but the meaning of the words is completely different.

"I had a strange feeling, and that mind-bending feeling came rushing back."

Little Knowledge scratched his head frantically.

Every time a truth is revealed in the Elysian Realm, another mystery pops up, one after another, and Little Knowledge's CPU is about to burn out.

Not everyone in the Elysian Realm is tolerant of Herrscher Mei; most are wary.

"To be honest, I always feel like something's missing."

Sakura frowned.

She suddenly realized that someone was missing.

"Mobius has not appeared since the beginning of the story."

"That's normal. My storyline hasn't started yet, and besides, Kalpas hasn't appeared yet."

Mobius immediately objected and retorted.

Mobius said there was danger when he came on stage, but he was also unhappy when he didn't come on stage.

Don't make it seem like Mobius's absence is a bad thing.

Mobius's inner monologue.

Elysia and the Fairy Elysia broke the deadlock with the repaired typewriter.

The Fairy Elysia took out a typewriter and told everyone that they could ask about any kind of memory.

Griseo was the first to try.

The memory that came out was a painting, a painting about Kosma. Griseo also recalled that it was about Kosma learning to play the harmonica, and Desdobina asked him to perform. As soon as he finished performing, Desdobina laughed so hard that she fell off her chair.

"Thank you, Fairy Administrator." Griseo recalled happy memories.

Griseo smiled as she looked at this beautiful memory.

"Next up, Kosma."

Griseo looked at Kosma.

"Don't."

Kosma answered with extreme decisiveness, even taking a few steps back, and looking at the typewriter as if it were an enemy.

But Kosma's refusal was of no importance to everyone, and the typewriter began printing out past memories.

It happened one day during the Moth Chasing Fire when Elysia was teaching the honest Fu Hua to perform some cringeworthy transformation moves, which was noticed by Kosma, who was hiding in the shadows.

"(Handsome.)"

Kosma's expression remained calm.

After witnessing this scene, which was more embarrassing than anything else in history, everyone fell silent.

Hahahaha.

Kosma's seemingly calm but inwardly childish scene is so funny it makes you want to laugh.

"No wonder Kosma reacted so strongly. Bringing up his embarrassing past from his teenage years and showing it to everyone, indeed... yeah."

Kai suppressed a laugh.

"That's true, take Kevin for example, he..."

"Shut up!"

Kevin nearly let out a sharp crack, directly interrupting Yaqing's eloquent speech.

What he couldn't understand was that, even though it was both of them going through their awkward teenage years, one of them didn't feel embarrassed at all, but instead seemed quite pleased with himself.

What Prince Charming, what demon king, don't you feel ashamed?

Kevin desperately wanted to complain.

"I didn't expect that even Desdobina was included."

Kosma's childhood sweetheart, almost everyone could see that she had feelings for Kosma...

But unexpectedly, Yaqing actually wrote her into it.

540

Chapter 540 Flame-Chasers was never united.

Kosma lowered his head awkwardly.

Mei felt embarrassed for him.

Next was Aponia. The moment her fingers touched the typewriter, a strange glint flashed across her face, barely perceptible to the average person, as she took the white paper that the typewriter dispensed.

When Griseo expressed her curiosity, Aponia explained that the show was not suitable for children.
