Chapter 286

[In the scene, Raiden Mei and Elysia chat for a long time on the swing, talking about the four Flame-Chasers who attended the banquet, the inheritance of the Elysian Realm, and the significance of successors remembering history.]

During this time, Raiden Mei almost cried several times, and almost couldn't bear to part with them.

All good things must come to an end, Mei knew that she really had to leave now.

Sitting on the roller coaster, Elysia said without turning her head, "Well then, we'll have to create an ending even better than history."

"What are you planning to do?" Raiden Mei asked.

"After sending Mei out of the Previous Era Elysian Realm, I plan to personally meet the Herrscher of Corruption."

Why not just start Model 666 directly?

"That's certainly a possibility, but before that, I'd like to meet with her."

Elysia put her hands behind her head and spoke to herself.

"Even though we're enemies, we're both Herrscher, and I still want to know her thoughts and understand her feelings."

Raiden Mei warned, "She remains a special being in the Elysian Realm; you might be in danger."

"Perhaps, but isn't it something humans would do to knowingly try something dangerous? Besides, I need to go and bring everyone back."

"I live in their memories, and they live in mine. The lives of the thirteen of us have long been intertwined and inseparable."

"What they can do, I can do too, so this time it's my turn to go and be with you all."

"That's right, you've always been like that, you never disappoint."

Raiden Mei nodded and stopped trying to dissuade Elysia.

She also longed for this imperfect banquet, this imperfect ending, to undergo a radical change!

"That's right, after all, it's me!" Elysia said. "Even as the curtain falls, I hope the stories of these Flame-Chasers will continue to shine brightly!"

"We have existed, we have fought, we have striven to live, and now, we entrust all our hope, our future, and the right to choose our path to you."

There is no true perfection in reality, and the world is not a beautiful place.

But as long as humanity exists, there will always be people who accept their own shortcomings, face their pain, and shoulder their burdens with courage and wisdom!

The roller coaster continued forward, its wheels turning like the gears of fate, sending the two people soaring into the boundless sky.

As Raiden Mei sat on the roller coaster, she saw the entire Elysian Realm for the first time, and they were gradually moving away from her.

This journey is now coming to an end.

"Mei, this is the last time. Say goodbye properly to everyone."

"... Um."

Raiden Mei was reluctant to leave, but the roller coaster's gears kept turning, and soon there wouldn't even be time to say goodbye.

The roller coaster sped into a burst of light, the warm glow falling on Raiden Mei. This story about the Herrscher from Fifty Thousand Years had finally come to an end.

"Sister Mei, I'll share my good luck with you, so don't worry!"

A familiar voice rang in her ears, Raiden Mei suddenly snapped back to reality.

"From now on, whether you find money in clothes you haven't worn in ages, or an extra drink slips out of a vending machine, it's all because our good luck has worked."

"Hehe, since Sister Mei is our friend, this counts as a favor, so it's free!"

Chapter 466 This is the story of thirteen people.

"Pardofelis..."

Raiden Mei murmured her friend's name, the person's lively smile appearing in her mind. The next second, an even more familiar voice entered her mind.

"Mei, I understand your story about that class monitor a little better now. I understand her... I understand how I felt back then."

"Thank you for helping my future self. As for the past... she's already a part of the future."

Whether it's Hua or Fu Hua, they are essentially the same person.

It's just two states of mind expressed by the same soul in different eras, after experiencing different hardships.

"The clouds are beautiful, the stars are beautiful, Sister Mei is beautiful too."

Griseo's voice rang out, as pure and beautiful as a comet streaking across the night sky.

"We will all become stars, always protecting Sister Mei, so we will always be together."

"I didn't expect you to leave here exactly the same. It's such a pity. Whether you gain something or lose something, change makes people better, doesn't it?"

The Signet of Mobius formed an Infinity ring and appeared in Mei's mind.

"Forget it, don't tell me you've gained a lot of memories. I won't dwell on the past. So, do your best after you get out, and don't let Mobius down."

"I think there's no need to say more about myself."

Cosmo lay amidst the rubble and ruins of the moon, a harmonica lying before him—a scene of the end of Morning Light.

You will go further than us, and you will overcome the obstacles we couldn't overcome, so take care on your journey.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Mei."

Beneath the crimson cherry blossoms, delicate petals drifted down.

Although the person who guarded the cherry blossom tree is no longer here, the withered straw rope still serves as proof that she once existed.

"Whether in reality or in this Elysian Realm, I have few people I can truly connect with. It is my honor to fight alongside you. I wish you continued success in your future endeavors."

Even if you feel confused, don't panic. You still have plenty of time to think things through. The process of thinking itself is the meaning of the answer.

Within Sumeru World-Bubble, a fallen leaf floats on the water's surface.

"Hmm? You expect me to say something sentimental? You've got the wrong person. But I'll remember your name, Raiden Mei."

Remembering the other person's name is the greatest sincerity that Chakravartin can express.

"Hi, Ms. Mei, here's a surprise! I actually left a backdoor in your head! You can look for it after you get out."

"Don't listen to her nonsense, no one else can find my back door."

"Wait! Shouldn't this clarify that there's no backdoor?"

"Sigh, I really hope you never have to argue with yourself. Goodbye."

Vill-V of Helix, she always manages to surprise people.

"Thank you, Miss Mei. You have brought so much to the Elysian Realm. We have no way to repay you except with blessings and prayers. May civilization spread like wildfire. May this world shine as brightly as gold."

Golden goblets, wine flowing on the ground, gleaming like works of art.

A treasure of Previous Era —this is the best description of Eden.

"The Previous Era Elysian Realm has met its end as I have witnessed: destruction and darkness. But I am glad it has come to pass in this way. So, break free from fate, Mei."

The consultation room, now illuminated by flickering flames, no longer had the nun in sight.

Only one transparent butterfly flew towards the flame on the candle.

"You've earned the approval of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, so I need to say more. Whether it's the me here or the me in reality."

"He must be waiting for you. I hope you two can get a satisfactory result. Face the future with your head held high; you know you can believe in yourself."

The leader's face was no longer visible on the cold throne.

"Ta-da! It's finally back to me."

A beam of light flashed before Raiden Mei's eyes, and there stood Elysia's smiling face.

"After all, I was the very first one, Elysia. She's always like that—both the beginning and the end, right?"

"So, this time we really have to say goodbye."

"Thank you, Mei."

The Previous Era Elysian Realm, unchanged for Fifty Thousand Years, is thrown into turmoil by Mei's arrival. The story buried in history now has someone to remember it.

Elysia offers her blessings to Mei.

The story recorded in the Previous Era Elysian Realm is a tale of pain and failure, betrayal and separation, but also happiness and joy—a story belonging to thirteen people.

What our predecessors leave to future generations is not just hatred and a sense of mission. Only by understanding how proudly they once existed can future generations understand the meaning of fighting for them.

The cold, hard technology and knowledge are best left to textbooks to teach. What the thirteen Flame-Chasers should record and pass on is the glory that belongs to the Flame-Chasers and the reason for fighting against the Honkai.

"Those who come after you will witness our lives and footprints, the Signet deeply buried in our souls, and find your own answers within them."

"Not being pushed forward, not being swept along, nor following a path chosen by others. Rather, it's about choosing your own path to destiny!"

"Countless paths intertwine and intertwine, giving birth to the miracle of a hundred flowers blooming!"

"This is the True Self I believe in, this is the story of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers!"

Led by Elysia, thirteen people stood in the sunlight, bidding a final farewell to Raiden Mei.

As the light faded and the sun set, the visitors from ten thousand years later departed completely, leaving only the Memory Body of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers and their unfinished story.

The video ends here.

Raiden Mei: "So, in the end, you're still leaving?"

In the Death Space, Raiden Mei sat alone on the grass. With Sakura's special training and Elysia's guidance, her life had been incredibly fulfilling these past few days.

But now, Mei felt an emptiness in her heart.

They probably knew that once they left, they would never come back!

Elysia: "What, Mei, you're reluctant to leave us?"

Raiden Mei: "Hmm."

Sue: "Miss Mei, everyone has their own mission. The Thirteen Flame-Chasers are like that, and so is the Valkyrie. Our separation is only for that common goal."

Create the future for your era.

To help those who have suffered so much overcome the Honkai.

To transform this imperfect world into the one they envision!

Pardofelis: "Oh! It caught fire so quickly."

Mobius: "Little Pardo, do you want to go to the battlefield? Actually, you can ask me for help with this. I happen to have a new idea."

Chapter 467 What kind of ending did the Herrscher of Corruption arrange for Elysia?

Pardofelis: "Forget it, Sister Snake, this isn't for me. Let's do what we can manage."

Mobius: "Little Pardo, I'm not happy with what you're saying. As one of the many lab rats, you're a rare and amazing exception."

For certain special individuals, there's no end to the study of them.

For example, Pardofelis, Mobius still doesn't understand how she managed to perform the living Fusion Warrior Surgery.

That's not like playing roulette by pointing a revolver at your own head and firing five shots.

Gambling at least involves probability; with luck, one out of ten people can always survive.

However, the success of the Fusion Warrior Surgery inevitably requires the volunteer's own will, compatibility with the Hypervariable Factor, and adaptability to Honkai Energy.

Only when these conditions are met can it be considered a probability-based gamble.

But Pardofelis was purely an accident; that guy just got lucky and succeeded by accident.

Pardofelis: "Haha, I didn't know I was this good."

Pardo chuckled dryly; she always felt that Mobius wasn't actually praising her.

She became Fusion Warrior without any warning, and who could she complain to?

Vill-V: "Is Mobius trying to help Little Pardo change her Hypervariable Factor? Oh! Maybe this method really works, after all, Pardo has already succeeded once."

Pardofelis: "Can the Hypervariable Factor be changed?"

Vill-V: "Theoretically, it's possible, but the risk is high. If someone is unlucky, they could easily die on the spot."

"Of course, if Little Pardo Vill-V confident in her luck, then that's a different story."

The success rate of two Hypermutation Surgery is not simply a matter of addition, and even multiplication is not enough.

Simply put, if someone succeeds twice, then she is more worthy of study than her Hypervariable Factor.
