Honkai Exposed, Starting with Iconic Elysian Realm Scenes

Pardofelis: "Yes, ma'am, Elysia!"

Someone pointed the way, and Pardo quickly jumped up and did a somersault, using her tail to balance like a cat, landing steadily on the ground.

Of course, her tail was pointing upwards.

Pardofelis: "Upwards, it's Su, I choose A!"

[...Correct answer.]

Pardofelis: "Wow, I'm alive, I'm finally alive, thank you, Elysia."

Raiden Mei: "No way, you guessed that right? Elysia, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Elysia: "No, I just gave the answer I thought had the highest probability. I don't have absolute information. Whether it's Su or Pardo's tail pointing upwards, they are just the highest probabilities."

Pardofelis: "Whatever, as long as I got it right, let me see the reward, the reward, the reward!"

[Congratulations to Pardofelis for obtaining the item: Invisibility Cloak.]

[Description: Upon use, enter stealth mode, capable of deceiving others' perception to a certain extent. Truly an essential item for going out and traveling.]

Pardofelis: "Invisibility Cloak, it's tailor-made for me, I love it!"

Kiana: "It seems Pardo has opened the door to a new world."

Raiden Mei: "It's fine, she can't run over to our side anyway. If the ingredients in the fridge disappear tomorrow, I'll have a headache."

Theresa: "If the refrigerator door isn't closed, cats do indeed have a penchant for rummaging through refrigerators."

Pardofelis: "Hehe, Canned Food, I'm taking you to do something big. This time, let alone Amo, even Sister Niya..."

Alright, Apponia seems a bit more difficult. She might predict me, after all, she has precognition.

Can't afford to provoke her, can't afford to provoke her.

While Pardofelis was fiddling with her new toy, the two people on the screen attracted everyone's attention.

[In the screen, the silver-haired man was organizing data when his old friend suddenly barged in.

"Su, why are you here? You should be carrying out the Hengsha Project," Kevin asked.

"Kevin, I have something to discuss with you. I saw that in the village within the shelter, the villagers have all turned into Morthals, and I found CYP-630 in the well water."

Su held up a test tube containing the solution that could turn humans into monsters.

It was also the culprit behind the villagers turning into Honkai Beasts.

"Yes, that village is one of the Oath sites for the Stigmata Project. Those who cannot control the power of the Stigmata will turn into Morthals."

"According to my calculations, less than one in a thousand people have a chance to awaken to the first stage. Unfortunately, they will have a rejection reaction with the Stigmata."

Kevin displayed his recent research data, showing no intention of hiding anything.

It indicated that after the rejection reaction, they would enter the second stage, but Kevin had not yet discovered any Stigmata Awakeners up to this point.

"You're saying you've deployed CYP-630 across the entire island?"

Cold sweat trickled down Su's cheeks. For the first time, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards Kevin.

"Yes, it's necessary to obtain experimental results." Kevin nodded. "By the way, have you found any Stigmata Awakeners? They are important experimental subjects and should exhibit a series of changes."

"..."

Su recalled the tragedy he witnessed in the village over the past few days. He clenched his fists and then slowly relaxed them.

"No. It was just a small village of less than a hundred people, and everyone in it turned into Morthals."

"I came to find you because I observed a very interesting Parallel World. I believe it has high reference value for us, and I hope you'll take a look too."

These were all lies. He just wanted to create an opportunity to talk to Kevin properly.

"I understand. You go back first. I'll come find you later."

Kevin agreed to Su's invitation without a second thought and then buried himself in the experimental data in his hands.]

Kiana: "You bastard! Experimenting on an entire island's population, how could he do that?!"

Fu Hua: "What Kevin is doing is more severe than I imagined. His mind is now solely focused on defeating the Honkai, even if it means humanity perishes together."

Murata Himeko: "But even if they defeat the Honkai using this method, what's the difference between the price humanity pays and extinction?"

If Welt and the Herrscher of Reason hadn't stopped Kevin from leaving earlier, they might not have fully understood the cost of the Stigmata Project.

But now, seeing Kevin willing to experiment on an entire island's population just to screen for the Stigmata Awakeners, who might not even exist, Kiana and the others could no longer suppress their anger.

An entire island's population, just to find one, or perhaps not even one, Stigmata Awakener, and using the rest as expendable resources.

This person was truly mad!

Chapter 47: Four Divine Keys

Pardofelis: "Wow, Elysia, the current Boss Kevin is so scary. He's a bit unlike himself. He wouldn't have done something like this before."

Elysia: "Sigh, those who have witnessed despair, those who have seen the world destroyed, will embark on a journey to find hope at any cost. Kevin's obsession is too deep."

Raiden Mei: "But no matter what, the price the Stigmata Project demands is too outrageous, isn't it?"

They even felt that the Stigmata Project was more cruel than the Honkai itself.

At least the Honkai will give you a struggle, a chance to fight for the remaining beauty in the world, but the Stigmata Project won't.

Those who can adapt to the Stigmata will survive and become bargaining chips against the Honkai, while those who cannot will die on the spot. There are no other options.

The person who proposed this plan must be a bit insane.

Fu Hua: "We Flame-Chasers, more or less, can understand the despair Kevin is enduring. However, the Stigmata Project is too cruel and inhumane. I... cannot accept it. If I meet Kevin again, I will definitely stop him."

Pardofelis: "But Sister Hua, you can't beat Boss Kevin, can you?"

Fu Hua: "Pardo, whose side are you on?"

Pardofelis: "Hua, you misunderstand. I'm just stating the facts, that's all. After all, fighting Boss Kevin is something I wouldn't even dare to dream about."

Theresa: "Fu Hua, if you count me and Kiana and the others, what are our chances of putting up a fight against Kevin?"

The Director looked around at the talents of St. Freya Academy!

Kiana is currently training intensely with Fu Hua's guidance, and becoming an S-rank Valkyrie is just around the corner.

Bronya also has a Herrscher of Reason trial card. It's estimated she'll last 0.1 seconds against Kevin, just like last time. Her combat power is negligible.

Theresa pondered that with such a strong lineup, they should be able to put up a fight, right?

Fu Hua: "Approximately zero."

Kiana: "No way! Didn't you recover some of your strength, Class President? Why are you still so pessimistic?"

Fu Hua: "I haven't recovered my full strength. The most important Sword Heart requires burning Feather to unleash, and you don't understand Kevin."

Pardofelis: "That's right, that's right! It's not that I'm a coward, although I am inherently timid, but that's Boss Kevin! Even a hundred, no, a thousand of me would just be throwing our lives away!"

Raiden Mei: "That's exaggerated. Can Su stop him?"

Fu Hua: "Speaking with general rationality, he can't beat him."

Elysia: "I'm also very curious, what a spectacular scene it would be if Su and Kevin were to fight! Hurry, hurry!"

Everyone immediately stopped chatting and turned their gaze to the screen, waiting to witness a battle that would shake the heavens and earth.

[In the scene, Kevin arrived at the place Su mentioned. It was silent inside, and Su did not appear.

It was as if it were a trap tailor-made for Kevin.

"Su, I'm here. Come out."

Kevin called out but received no response.

He continued to walk forward. As he walked, a golden leaf suddenly drifted down. With a flash of light, the area where Kevin stood transformed as if by a shift in stars and moon.

"This feeling... is this a World Bubble?" Kevin stared at the large tree beside him. The leaf that had just fallen must have come from it.

"That's right, Kevin. This is a World Bubble I created using the Second Divine Key, Sumeru World-Bubble. It's isolated from the world, and without my help, you'll never be able to leave."

Su slowly walked out, stating his purpose straightforwardly.

"I came here because I want to talk to you about postponing the Stigmata Project. We all know that if this plan is executed, only a small portion of humanity will survive."

"I know, Su. It's the worst plan."

Kevin wasn't surprised by his arrival; he had expected it.

"I also know that you oppose this plan, and the innocent people who died have made your conscience uneasy."

"You tricked me into coming here because you want to trap me. You want to use all your strength to stop the Stigmata Project."

He had already anticipated Su's thoughts, Su's choice, and the reason he was tricked into coming here.

Thus, Kevin still came.

He came to give Su, and himself, a chance to correct a mistake.

A dazzling beam of light pierced through the World Bubble created by Su, carrying raging flames, and landed in front of Kevin.

"Fehu actually penetrated my Sumeru World-Bubble..."

Su was once again shocked by Kevin's power. Perhaps fifty thousand years of refinement had made the already strongest Flame-Chaser even stronger.

"Su, I'll give you one chance. Try your best to stop me. After you fail, you'll realize that you can't change anything."

Kevin picked up Fehu and slowly walked towards his former best friend.

"Even if only one in a thousand, or one in ten thousand, can survive, it's better than doing nothing and waiting for a miracle."

"And I will bear the sin of causing the innocent to die and to be about to die!"

Fehu ignited with flames, and the scorching heat caused the air to boil, turning the leaves in the World Bubble to ash.

"Kevin, I know the gap between us is huge, but I will do my best to stop you, along with the Divine Keys that can harm you, Black Abyss White Flower and Star of Eden."

"This time, I will give it my all to stop you!"

The strongest Flame-Chaser wielded Fehu, while Su possessed Black Abyss White Flower, Star of Eden, and Thousand Worlds, three Divine Keys.

The great battle between the two began.]

Kiana: "Holy shit, Su with three Divine Keys fighting Kevin! This is a battle of gods!"

Theresa: "I was too arrogant. A total of four Divine Keys are fighting each other. This is clearly a high-level match. I can't play, I can't play."

Theresa, armed with just the Divine Key Judgement, could already rank among Schicksal's S-rank Valkyries, and she hadn't even unleashed Judgement's full power.

Who knows what kind of effect those four Divine Keys would have in the hands of the Flame-Chasers.

Can't afford to play, can't afford to play.

Bronya: "Bronya thought one Divine Key per person was already a big battle. I didn't expect Su to have three. Do you Flame-Chasers always fight this terrifyingly?"

Pardofelis: "Hey, hey, hey, don't lump everyone together for no reason. Count me out, I can't even beat one Divine Key!"

Elysia: "Three Divine Keys... it's really not that much, you know. It mainly depends on who holds them."

Just like Fehu in Kevin's hands.

That thing itself wasn't particularly exaggerated. At least compared to Black Abyss White Flower and Thousand Worlds, Fehu wasn't the best.

But Fehu in Kevin's hands wasn't ordinary Fehu used for baking pizza.

Bronya: "So, you mean Su is completely no match for Kevin?"

Theresa: "No way, three Divine Keys and he still can't win against one? And with Black Abyss White Flower, which holds the power of creation and death, what kind of monster would that be?"

Fu Hua: "Sigh, even though Su has three Divine Keys, the gap between him and Kevin is not small. I don't even think Black Abyss White Flower can deal effective damage to him."

Pardofelis: "Haha, after all, he's boss Kevin. If we're really talking about fighting, we'd have to look to Sister Elysia."

Kiana: "!!!"

Raiden Mei: "Elysia, are you that strong?"

All this time, everyone had been chatting with Elysia and hadn't seen her in action. They thought she was just a bad woman who wanted to touch Mei's horns.

They never expected her to be this strong, on the same level as Kevin?
