Ling's words instantly dispelled Sakura's emotions, and she suddenly felt an itch to touch her hands.

When Fairy Elysia saw Mei, she complained that she didn't know who had messed up the archives, forcing her to come to the amusement park to relax.

Seeing the gloomy expression on Mei's face, Fairy Elysia couldn't help but offer some comfort, and then wondered why the mature version of herself wasn't by Mei's side.

Mei then realized that the Fairy Elysia didn't know that Elysia had died, so she told the Fairy Elysia in a roundabout way.

Elysia... disappeared.

The naive Fairy Elysia thought that the so-called disappearance was Elysia playing hide-and-seek with them, and dragged Mei, yelling that they should go find the mature version of her.

This episode is titled: The Magician in the Tower: The Vill-V Episode - He's Gone.

Arriving at the pink amusement park, everyone felt a silent pang of heartache, reminiscing about the moments they had spent with Elysia. The thought of Elysia's quiet death filled them with immense sorrow.

"Now I finally understand the stand-in literature in those novels, sigh."

Sakura sighed.

As a fujoshi (a female fan of male-male romance), she is a big fan of novels and literature.

"Substitute?"

Little Knowledge's lips twitched.

"I feel like crying. Fairy Elysia thought I was hiding. I wish I really was hiding."

Elysia pouted.

Tears were almost falling.

"Yaqing, I won't press you about the rest of the plot. I just want to ask if you'll finish writing the story of the Elysian Realm this week?"

Eden suddenly asked a question that drew everyone's attention.

The Eden Question is a tricky question; it doesn't involve the subsequent plot, yet it encompasses it.

If Yaqing answers yes, it would be unworthy of the chapter title "The Funeral of Heroes," and the Flame-Chasers would likely have to make a huge sacrifice, and it would probably be an irreversible tragedy.

But if Yaqing answers no, it means there is still hope for redemption, or even a plot twist, or that Elysia and Kevin's memories might have a chance to reappear.

Yaqing was caught in a dilemma.

The saying goes, "If you don't say what you should say, you're truly living up to the Eden."

"Hmm... if it's not finished, it means there will definitely be a next volume, but if it's finished, then there definitely won't be any more."

Yaqing replied with a nonsensical statement.

Eden chuckled softly.

Her strong professional ethics prevented her from rolling her eyes.

Mei accompanied the Fairy Elysia to the amusement park.

The Fairy Elysia introduced each attraction in the amusement park to her, and Mei's gentle tone reached a new high.

Looking at the amusement park in Elysia's memory, always filled with laughter and joy, Mei felt even sadder.

Every day and every night at the amusement park reminded Mei of the fact that Elysia was gone.

Even after parting ways with the Fairy Elysia, Mei couldn't bear to tell her the truth about Elysia's death.

"An amusement park... I haven't been to one in ages."

Elysia was momentarily dazed, but then she came to her senses, hugged Eden's arm, and flashed her usual bright smile.

"Eden, let's go to the amusement park together again sometime. I haven't ridden a Ferris wheel in ages."

"Good."

Eden's gaze was gentle and tender.

She was even more determined to prepare a surprise for Elysia.

As for what kind of surprise it would be? It would naturally be to create an amusement park exactly like the one in the Honkai anime. There's no doubt that Golden Eden has the financial resources to support such a project; all she lacks is time.

That person is gone.

Mei and the Fairy Elysia strolled through the amusement park together.

They finally understood the meaning behind the title.

That was Elysia's death.

Elysia's death was too suspicious, without any foreshadowing, and the emotions it evoked in the audience were more shock than sadness. However, once the audience accepted this premise, their feelings reflected Eden and Mei's reactions.

The more I felt, the more distressed I became. It was a kind of empathy. I was used to the mysterious Elysia always popping up from the corners of the world, and I couldn't get used to her death. It made me feel even more distressed.

"I don't know why, but watching the plot unfold like this makes me feel sad and upset."

Pardo clutched her chest.

The deaths of Elysia and Kevin meant that no one could unite the remaining Flame-Chasers, leading to their disintegration and mutual distrust.

"Things are bound to take a turn for the better."

Sakura was absolutely certain.

The writers put so much effort into Elysia, how could they possibly want her to die so simply? There was no foreshadowing or visuals, and even the person who killed her is unknown.

After Mei and Vill-V reunited, they began their investigation and unexpectedly encountered a pink monster in the amusement park.

Vill-V said it was because of the influence of Elysia's memories, which made Mei suddenly recall that she had encountered a strange thing before, which looked like it had faded.

She thought it was because of Griseo's painting.

So the two decided to go and confirm with Griseo.

Meanwhile, too much was happening in the Elysian Realm, Griseo was unable to concentrate on her painting, so she went to investigate with Kosma.

Griseo refers to some of the monsters as strange colors, and as the number of monsters increases, Kosma Griseo behind him. Just then, Mei descends from the sky and eliminates all the monsters.

The moment Vill-V appeared, Kosma raised his claws and placed them on her neck.

But Kosma quickly put it down.

Mei will ask Griseo if those faded monsters were painted by her, Kosma will be able to admit that Griseo did not use a paintbrush today.

Griseo also stated that the faded monsters were not drawn by her, but she could try to trace the monsters' information.

Vill-V remarked that this scene reminded her of the time she had performed with Kosma.

Human dismemberment, swords stuck in barrels, escape through water tanks...

Mei immediately started complaining.

"By your standards, this episode is rather ordinary, not much different from our era, as long as you utilize the mechanisms on the device..."

"Ah, there are no traps."

Vill-V interrupted Mei with a smile.

It revealed a terrifying truth.

"In order to create an unprecedented magic trick, I deliberately used a prop without any mechanisms. I still vividly remember the gasp my usually silent assistant let out after crawling into the box!"

Mei was shocked. To her, this was no longer magic, but a blatant disregard for human life.

"... Let's go."

Kosma's expression was complicated; he clearly didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, talking about the past, those nightmares that were like his darkest history.

Chapter 549: Did the screenwriter want to kill Griseo? This sparked public outrage.

"Hahaha, that's only because it's Amo. If it were someone else participating in Sister Vill-V's magic show, they probably would have..."

Pardo couldn't help but laugh, especially when she saw the complicated expression on Kosma's face in the scene.

"Vill-V, next time let's arrange some escape scenarios."

Elysia suppressed a laugh.

Even with eight personalities, Vill-V was stunned. After realizing what was happening, she looked at Yaqing with displeasure.

"Yaqing, you're smearing me! My magic performance posed no danger to my life. You're defaming the great magician!"

Yaqing's eyes darted around, avoiding looking at Vill-V.

"This... this is all for artistic purposes."

"Snort."

Vill-V gave a soft snort.

Kosma remained silent, his face darkening.

What he doesn't understand the most is that it seems like the screenwriter is targeting him, because he has a lot of dark history, and it seems like every few steps there is a piece of his dark history.

"Brother Yaqing ..."

Kosma simply shouted.

The Kitty- themed translator is back online.

"Yaqing, Amo wants to ask, why do you persecute him so much? Every time you bring up his dark history."

"Hmm... it's also necessary for the plot."

Yaqing was helpless.

Kosma reappeared in the dark history, slightly alleviating the grief brought about by Elysia's death.

"Those faded monsters..."

Mei steered the conversation back on track.

"It's probably still related to Elysia. When Elysia was alive, those monsters were pink. After Elysia died, the monsters faded."

"What does this prove? That Elysia is dead, and Eternal Elysium is about to spiral out of control?"

Kalpas snorted coldly.

"Kalpas, you are not allowed to speak like that."

Aponia suddenly spoke.

"What's it to you?"

Kalpas stood with his hands on his chest, his face full of arrogance and disdain.

Griseo followed the trail but unexpectedly encountered two monsters. One had her paint on it, while the other gave her a familiar feeling.

Watching Mei and Vill-V leave, Griseo wanted to go see Aponia, but Kosma refused, believing that Eden was right and they should stay away from danger.

"Kosma a liar."

Grace looked calmly at Kosma.

Kosma had no intention of getting away from danger. He had been thinking about other things ever since Om began, and even when Mei and Vill-V left, his eyes were still fixed on them.

Griseo knew that Kosma wanted to go with them, just like 50,000 years ago. Kosma wanted to stay and continue fighting with everyone, but was asked to board the spaceship to carry out Ark Project.

Flying into the stars was Kosma's dream, but Griseo couldn't sense Kosma's happiness at all, so she went to Vill-V to carry out the Ark Project in Kosma.

"Little Griseo is so sensible, it breaks my heart..."

Elysia felt terrible.

"Griseo, you..."

Blanca didn't know what to say, she just hugged her daughter tightly with heartache.

Griseo doesn't yet understand what happened, or rather, she knows what happened but is unwilling to show it.

"However... if it was Griseo went to carry out the Ark Project, then there is still a glimmer of hope, after all, the Ark has only lost contact, rather than being confirmed to be destroyed."

Eden gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

That is Griseo's hope for living in the present civilization.

Fusion Warrior do not have the worry of lifespan. Even if the Ark drifts in the universe for 50,000 years, they can still survive and may even be discovered by Schicksal later.

"Do you remember the Sky People in Post-Honkai Odyssey? With the Sky People as a threat, Schicksal will definitely launch a large-scale exploration of the stars. At that time, Little Griseo might have a chance to reappear."
