"Sakura, I just fixed your sword, and the next second you're pulling it out at me?"

"Uh... um... ah... oh."

Sakura was too embarrassed to speak.

But she didn't think that her character in the story would actually kill Vill-V.

In fact, she didn't think she could replace Vill-V without getting hurt.

"Something's finally going to happen."

As early as the very beginning of this week's plot update, they felt that something was definitely going to happen to the Elysian Realm.

After all, if Mei knew Elysia's hidden secrets so easily, why would she bother updating the story? She could just write more of last week's plot and end it there.

Just by looking at the progress bar, they knew things were definitely not simple.

"Won't this turn into infighting?"

Little Knowledge looked on incredulously.

Those who have a grudge should seek revenge, and those who have been wronged should seek redress.

Sakura now knows the hidden secret, Kosma's attitude towards Aponia is also very bad... If the next two Flame-Chasers fight each other, Little Knowledge really think it will be a plot of mutual destruction.

"Huh? How could that be?"

Elysia looked troubled.

She didn't want to see everyone killing each other.

Elysian Realm should be a story of harmony and fulfillment.

Meanwhile, Mobius also arrived at Eternal Elysium and, following a scent, found Kalpas. Kalpas's way of greeting him was to attack without hesitation.

Mobius is also recklessly stepping on landmines and provoking others.

Kalpas, however, was not swayed by her tactics at all.

Kalpas is irritable, but not brainless; he won't be easily manipulated.

"You've misunderstood something in a strange way, my dear Kalpas."

"We've never been on the same page. Who do you think needs to pretend to fit in?... Thirteen Flame-Chasers?"

"Haha... Does such a thing really exist? We've been so torn apart from the very beginning..."

Mobius was like a venomous snake.

Cold, disdainful, murderous intent.

It seemed as if they were lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.

Mobius's words caused a huge uproar.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by saying that the Flame-Chasers are not united?"

Elysia was struck dumb.

She always believed that everyone was united.

Unexpectedly, a single sentence from Mobius shattered her illusion.

A sense of unease has arisen in everyone's hearts.

The plot is getting weirder and weirder.

The initial lesbian intimate scenes are gone.

Kosma's attitude towards Aponia was very bad, Sakura drew her sword against Vill-V, Mobius and Kalpas fought fiercely, and claimed that the Flame-Chasers were never united.

I felt increasingly uneasy.

"Oh no, I don't think I can watch the rest of the show."

Pardo covered her eyes.

She always thought she was the weakest, so if they started fighting amongst themselves, she would probably be the first sacrifice.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action."

Kevin waved his hand, exuding the aura of a master.

He didn't think anyone could stop him except Elysia.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for him to mediate.

Moreover, Elysia didn't want Elysian Realm to descend into chaos, with everyone killing each other and engaging in fierce battles.

"This old-fashioned thing probably wouldn't do that..."

Little Knowledge chuckled sarcastically.

After all, the old-fashioned person doesn't know anything and probably won't get involved in this matter.

No, it's possible they might participate. After all, the old-fashioned ones are too naive and easily swayed by others.

Yaqing smiled.

Next comes the true Elysian Realm.

The dispute originated from the game Werewolf.

The preceding parts were just appetizers; the real feast is yet to come.

Mobius sensed something was very wrong.

Because she saw a familiar smile on Yaqing's face.

Chapter 541 Elysia's Vulnerability, Her Hidden True Self.

After learning about the Seventh Honkai Eruption, Elysia led Mei through the portal back to the Elysian Realm Hall, the place where they first met.

Mei wondered why they had to return here, Elysia smiled and said that this was not only where they met, but also where she announced the birth of the Flame-Chasers.

But to everyone's surprise, the proposal of the Flame-Chasers was not approved by the higher-ups. In short, the Moth Chasing Fire did not recognize the Thirteen Flame-Chasers.

It involves some sensitive topics.

It possesses the power of the upper echelons, but also the danger of the Flame-Chasers.

Even so, Elysia still relied on her own wishes and will to promote the establishment of the Flame-Chasers, which was recognized by later generations.

No wonder Elysia said that the Elysian Realm had nothing to do with the Moth Chasing Fire; it was entirely the work of the Fusion Warrior.

"Hmph, this is human nature, disgusting."

Kalpas snorted coldly.

As human civilization is nearing its end, those corrupt leaders still cannot forget the struggle for power and profit, or rather, even though civilization has come to an end, they will still hold power tightly in their hands.

"No wonder even Sister Elysia said that Elysian Realm has nothing to do with the Moth Chasing Fire."

Pardo seemed to understand the meaning of those words.

Ling reached out and poked Pardo with her finger.

"Pardo, you should be one of the reasons why the higher-ups rejected it."

Pardo was taken aback.

Recalling the reasons given by higher-ups for rejecting the proposal. "They do not recognize that more than half of the members can be considered heroes."

Kalpas Calamities has a fiery temper, Aponia always uses good to destroy evil, Mobius's experiments are utterly immoral, and Pardo is probably just not strong enough.

"With such a high-ranking official, it's no surprise that the Previous Era failed."

Mei sighed.

Although many people criticize Otto, it is a blessing for human civilization to have such a leader who can suppress the power struggles among the upper echelons and resist the Honkai.

That's why Otto was a complex person; his crimes were countless, but his achievements will live on forever.

After all, May, as the leader, couldn't control those high-ranking officials.

"Mei, that's not your fault."

Kevin put his arm around May's shoulder and gently comforted her.

Mei is about to learn the answer and leave the Elysian Realm. Elysia is still not used to parting, so she decides to walk with Mei back to the hall where they first met, following the footprints.

Consider it a farewell gift from her to Mei.

Revisiting the Elysian Realm, seeing the familiar Flame-Chasers, and listening to Elysia and Mei's conversation, the audience experiences a complex mix of emotions, from initial confusion, helplessness, and fear to present-day nostalgia, affection, and admiration.

After reaching the Depths of the world and meeting the last Flame-Chasers, Aponia, Elysia couldn't help but sigh as she looked back on her journey.

"Ah... we've really come a long, long way. There are so many things worth remembering, but... it seems like we've reached the end."

Cross that radiant gate and return to Eternal Elysium.

Mei already had her own answer regarding this journey to the Elysian Realm.

Flame-Chasers is difficult to define as a "good person" in the universal sense, but she can sense a shared belief, or rather, an obsession, among these people.

—The will to fight for what.

"Whether they are heroes or not... it doesn't change anything. They are definitely not people who can be summarized by results and definitions."

"But it is precisely because their stories are difficult to summarize that they are so admirable."

Mei shared her answer.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

They finally understood the significance of Kevin bringing Mei to the Elysian Realm.

That is to be a witness.

Witnessing the Flame-Chasers in the Previous Era, witnessing their beliefs and will.

"Flame-Chasers may not be heroes, but their will to fight for humanity cannot be denied. This is the Elysian Realm, a story about those who failed to save the world."

Elysia sighed.

Her eyes, which were easily moved to tears, sparkled.

Especially since the plot has reached the point of parting.

"Mei is about to leave the Elysian Realm, and the Elysian Realm is about to come to an end. We are stuck in the past, while Mei is destined to move towards the future. But... I am still a little reluctant to let her go. I am really a little reluctant to let her go."

Elysia leaned on Eden's shoulder.

She didn't understand why she felt so sad when it was just a farewell, not death.

"Elysia, don't worry, this week's plot is far from over. You can tell just by looking at the progress bar. Besides, Sakura's storyline hasn't been explained yet."

Eden reminded him softly.

Elysia was taken aback.

She had almost forgotten about the storyline involving Sakura and Vill-V, mainly because the plot development and atmosphere were all hinting to the audience that the journey to the Elysian Realm was about to come to an end.

"Yaqing, you're so bad!"

Elysia fiercely insulted Yaqing.

"I never said that the Elysian Realm would end here; that was what you said."

Yaqing didn't hesitate to shift the blame to Elysia in the storyline.

Elysia gritted her teeth in anger, her fur standing on end like a cat's, as if she were about to pounce and take a vicious bite at any moment.

A gentle breeze ruffled Elysia's hair, her eyes were tender, the atmosphere was warm, and a slightly melancholic background music played at the perfect moment.

"You're right, the story recorded in the Elysian Realm is just this simple."

"The Flame-Chasers were just ordinary people with complex emotions and flaws, just like every ordinary human being at that time."

"They have their own selfish motives and are mostly not very loving, but they may do some impulsive and remarkable things because of a moment of emotion or a sudden impulse."

"They were never perfect heroes; they were just the ones who were there at that time. So I believe that if it were anyone else, they would have made similar choices."

"This is the beauty of eternity, the 'True Self' I believe in."
