Admittedly, there are quite a few Honkai moments, but the emotions before or after those moments have never diminished.

Especially the conversation between Mei and Elysia, although it felt a bit unfair to Kiana, Cecilia still had to admit that she was definitely shipping them.

The green bullet comments almost filled the entire screen.

It was filled with. "[Kiana is...]"

"To be honest, as expected of Elysia, in such a short time, she has transformed Mei, who only has Kiana in her heart, into her shape."

When Mei heard Mei gently say "Dear Elysia," she had to admit she was shocked.

"Sometimes, it's good to change things up."

Elysia laughed so hard her eyes were almost invisible.

Before this, she was always the one flirting with others in the story. This was the first time someone had flirted with her. She was tired of being the top and wanted to change things up and be the bottom.

At first, Mei seemed reluctant when she said "Dear Elysia," but now Mei's able to...

"Elysia's seduction techniques are truly amazing!"

Little Knowledge couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Little Knowledge, you mustn't use such vulgar words. I was just letting Mei see my True Self."

Elysia spat.

"It's nothing special, it didn't move me at all."

Kalpas crossed his arms, his face expressionless.

"Brother Jie, do you know who you look like now?"

"?"

"Like Mobius..."

"You bastard, are you insulting me?!"

Mobius:????

Chapter 588 Hey, did you miss me?

Under the expectant gazes of all the viewers, Mei stepped through the glowing door.

The last memory I had was related to plum blossoms.

Under the familiar starry sky, only Elysia and Mei were there.

Elysia didn't know if her plan would succeed or what the consequences would be, but she still wanted to give it a try.

If even Elysia needs to guess, Mei thinks they really know nothing about the Honkai.

What Elysia said next truly shocked the audience.

The so-called will of God is merely a human imagination. The Collapse God who governs the Herrscher does not exist, at least not in her case, as she has not been bewitched by consciousness.

In the darkness, all she could sense was a void, like a cocoon waiting to be reborn. It seemed to be telling her that everything they had experienced in the past was neither Judgement nor a trial... but simply an embrace.

However, for humans, this kind of embrace is a bit too painful.

Mei, however, felt that this was the price a civilization had to pay to bid farewell to childhood, to break free from its cocoon and emerge into the vast starry sky.

Finally, Elysia pleaded with May that even if the [Stigmata] project was a guaranteed success, they should never give up on the [Flame].

"...?"

He remained silent for a long time.

Elysia's statement shattered the audience's speculations about the Honkai.

In particular, the fact that the Collapse Consciousness does not exist.

"What does this mean? The Collapse God doesn't exist?! But we've clearly seen it several times... Otto, Mei... haven't they all seen the Collapse God?"

Kevin's CPU is almost fried.

There are only fourteen Herrscher in total. Now that we've reached the Thirteenth Herrscher, they say that thirteen is a non-existent number, and then they say that Collapse Consciousness doesn't exist.

To be honest, the amount of information about the Elysian Realm is truly explosive.

"Wait... wait! A hug?!"

The Kitty's eyes widened.

Countless sacrifices were made, only to be rewarded with a single embrace?!

Pardo's mentality collapsed.

This is not as good as the test of the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta as explained by Otto. At least in that case, she could feel that the sacrifice had a price to pay, even if the result was just an embrace?!

"It seems that, not to mention the main characters, even we who are standing at God's perspective are ultimately completely unaware of the Honkai."

Sakura couldn't help but sigh.

"Current civilization is walking on the Previous Era. Our analysis of Honkai is still based on speculations made from information left by Previous Era. If what Elysia said in the end is true, then our understanding of Honkai is still superficial."

Mei had sensed something was amiss long before.

If it's not Elysia who has a problem, then it's the Collapse Consciousness that has a problem.

Looking at it now, the Collapse Consciousness...

"There are only three possibilities now. First, the Collapse Consciousness suddenly appeared in the current civilization, or it may be related to the so-called Sky People."

Suddenly, Vill-V recalled the villains from Post-Honkai Odyssey, who had never appeared in the main storyline and had no clues about the Sky People.

Aliens... Isn't Kalpas a perfect example?

It's possible that the Honkai are inhabited by extraterrestrials, so it's possible that technologically advanced aliens created the Honkai consciousness and released it onto Earth.

"Furthermore, Elysia wanted to use her powers to preserve humanity for future Herrscher, but the side effect was the birth of Collapse Consciousness."

Vill-V looked at Elysia.

Elysia couldn't help but ponder; this was the most likely possibility.

After all, in order to preserve humanity for future Herrscher, the Honkai inadvertently developed humanity as well, thus giving birth to Collapse Consciousness.

"In the end, it was [we] who did it."

"???"

The last guess made by Vill-V caught everyone off guard.

What do you mean "we did it"?! They were just spectators, how could they possibly interfere with the anime's plot?

"At the time, we weren't talking about us, but about us in the storyline, a contingency plan left behind by the Previous Era. This explains why there were so many traitors. The Collapse Consciousness still hasn't made a move."

In her analysis of the plot, Vill-V offered three possible interpretations.

Regardless of the outcome, the fact that the Collapse Consciousness does not exist has still caused a huge uproar, and it has inadvertently stolen the trending topic of Anti-Entropy.

"Child, this is not funny."

Otto's grip went numb.

His proposal that the Honkai was a trial was thus overturned.

"President, do you think you understand Honkai better than the Herrscher of Origin?"

Yaqing glanced at it.

Are you provoking me?

Otto sneered.

He was willing to research anything, from the Honkai 3rd to the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta, all in order to revive Kallen.

Yaqing had not yet spoken.

Otto said it directly.

"Alright, I accept your challenge!"

Yaqing sighed helplessly. Otto was just like that; sometimes he would act childishly for no reason. He was too lazy to care and just let Otto do his research. Where would the Honkai of the real world come from?

Surely Otto couldn't possibly have actually researched the Sea of Quanta and the Imaginary Tree.

Kallen was also helpless about this.

They had no time to care about Otto right now, as they were completely absorbed in watching the big screen.

Now we've reached the most crucial moment: Elysia's resurrection.

The screen goes black, revealing nothingness.

A familiar storyline: the birth of Elysia.

She was the daughter of the gods, sent by the stars and moon.

She is the treasure of Flame-Chasers's reborn memories.

A glimmer of light emerged from the void, and the voices of the Flame-Chasers appeared one by one. Star after star shone brightly in the void, as if dancing and rejoicing at Elysia's return.

Then came Mei's voice.

She remembers Elysia, and the Flame-Chasers will never forget her.

"The Herrscher of Origin... What a fitting name for you."

"It is the origin of yesterday and the origin of tomorrow."

Mei's voice was soft, as if she were coaxing a baby to sleep; her voice was strong, as if she were pulling back someone who had returned.

"You really created it, didn't you? A paradise named after you, Elysia's paradise... Look, it's right there."

A pristine and eternal Elysian Realm, an era belonging to humankind.

If there is anything that can crown people, it is only humankind itself.

"So, come back... take one last look at this world that was born because of you. This is the story you started, and the stage I've set for you."

"Just like before, answer my call once again... Elysia."

As Mei finished speaking, the dark void was filled with the white light of hope. As the light slowly faded, petals fell, and a pink and white church appeared in everyone's eyes.

In that sacred and mysterious church sat a familiar young woman, dressed in a wedding gown-like gown, looking extremely dignified, with long pink hair flowing down her back, like an elf.

"Oh dear, you finally found me after all. I've been waiting for so long. Before we meet again... let's say hello properly."

The camera slowly pulls back, and the girl finally turns around. Her stunningly beautiful face seems otherworldly, adorned with a familiar and beautiful smile as she looks at Mei, and also at the audience.

"Hey, did you miss me?"

After hardship comes happiness.

They were unable to express the excitement they felt at that moment in words.

Since Elysia's sudden death, they had been eagerly awaiting Elysia return. Little did they know that so many things would happen in between, and the Flame-Chasers would sacrifice themselves one after another to buy time for Elysia's restoration.

"... Sister Elysia ...finally...finally..."

Pardo was so moved that she choked up and couldn't speak.

"I... I knew it, I definitely... I definitely wouldn't do a losing deal, Sister Elysia, you will definitely come back to life..."

Pardo's face was covered in tears and snot.

Elysia originally wanted to hug the Kitty and comfort it, but upon seeing this scene, she immediately hesitated and her eyes reddened.

Her emotions were no less than Pardo's.

"This is not the paradise called Elysia, but the paradise of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers..."

Elysia stared blankly at the big screen.

"The Herrscher of Origin, what a beautiful name."

Eden's eyes were filled with joy at the name.

"Wait, it's not over yet!"

Ling looked at the big screen with surprise and delight.
