Honkai Exposed, Iconic Scenes from the Elysian Realm at the Start

Kiana: "I've practically fought everyone in Fire Moth. It seems Chakravartin is quite the brawler; he fights his allies and the Honkai with equal frequency."

Everyone always wondered if more comrades died by Chakravartin's hand than Herrschers.

After all, there were only a dozen or so Herrschers, but quite a few comrades within Fire Moth.

Chakravartin: "What, are you all so curious about my past? Or do you want to personally experience that endless rage?! If it's you, I'd be happy to arrange your funeral arrangements if you manage to kill three Herrschers at once."

Bronya: "Don't look at me. Kevin revoked my driver's license. Go find him."

Raiden Mei: "Kevin wants to pull me into World Serpent. Go find him."

Kiana: "Huh? I'm also a Kaslana. Go find Ancestor Kevin."

Chakravartin: "Kevin? Hmph, is he still clinging to life? 'Never rest until the Honkai is defeated' – that's certainly his style. I look forward to the day I fight him again."

Kevin Kaslana and Elysia. The debate over who was stronger between the two remained, but they were indeed the only two in Fire Moth who had truly defeated Chakravartin.

If the first person to awaken and fight him was Kevin, Chakravartin would gladly try again.

His accumulated rage over the years versus the Fehu in Kevin's hand – who would prevail?

Theresa: "Did you guys notice? When Kevin is mentioned, Chakravartin doesn't back down at all, does he? And he's practically itching for a fight."

Raiden Mei: "Aren't they saying Kevin is the strongest of the Flame-Chasers? Su lost even with three Divine Keys. Can Chakravartin win?"

Kiana: "I doubt it. Even with all the talent in Fire Moth, they can't all be monsters like Kevin with Fehu, right? Chakravartin's probably just reckless, not backing down from anything. Just go for it."

Pardofelis: "Hey, hey, hey, keep it down. Brother Jie can hear you. (Whispering)"

Chakravartin: "If you're worried about your own lives, you can rest assured. My rage won't ignite over trivial matters. But only Apponia... only she is absolutely unforgivable! I will tear her to shreds, grind her into powder!!"

As they chatted, Chakravartin, for some reason, thought of Apponia again and began to lose control.

Flames surged in the Death Space, scaring Pardofelis into quickly scampering a few hundred meters further away.

If she couldn't provoke him, she could at least avoid him.

She hid next to Sister Elysia, figuring no one could bully her then.

Pardofelis: "Wow! Sister Elysia, Brother Jie is angry again! Save me, you have to save me!"

Elysia: "Don't be afraid, Pardo. Chakravartin's rage won't reach us here."

Raiden Mei: "I've wanted to ask this for a while. Why does Chakravartin instantly lose control whenever Apponia or The Deep is mentioned?"

Elysia: "Are you getting curious now? I didn't expect Mei to be such a curious girl."

Pardofelis: "Never mind Sister Nia, but as for The Deep... I can't say, and you absolutely can't go there. You'll definitely get killed then. Absolutely can't say!"

Raiden Mei: "?!?"

Mei was only slightly curious at first, but Pardofelis's reaction immediately piqued everyone's interest.

After all, Pardofelis was someone who dared to run errands for other Flame-Chasers, possessing at least eight hundred courage.

Yet, when this matter was brought up, she instantly deflated like a cat that had just been spayed.

Raiden Mei: "Pardo, you really won't say? You'll have to serve me later, you know."

Pardofelis: "I really can't say, absolutely can't say. Sister Mei, please don't make it difficult for me. Oh, right, Sister Elysia, Brother Jie, you can go find them, just don't find me. The biggest secret of the Previous Era Elysian Realm – if I tell, I'll definitely be split into Pardo and Philis!"

Kiana: "Then Chakravartin..."

Chakravartin: "Scram!"

Raiden Mei: "Elysia, you..."

Elysia: "Mei, curiosity is something you must find the answer to yourself. The process itself is the most meaningful part. It wouldn't be fun if I just told you."

Theresa: "..."

Good grief, are they all riddle-tellers?

If not for the clear difference in combat power, she, Theresa, would have used Judgement on every single riddle-teller!

[Quiz begins.]

[Question: In the Previous Era Elysian Realm, why did Raiden Mei provoke Chakravartin?]

[A: Because Apponia gave her a prophecy of ten days, stating Mei would die in ten days. To break the prophecy, Mei sought out Chakravartin.]

[B: Brave Mei, unafraid of Chakravartin.]

[C: Mei thought Chakravartin was asking for a beating and decided to teach him a lesson.]

[D: Mei wanted Chakravartin's stigmata, but he refused. She couldn't stand it, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got; the more she backed down, the more she felt she lost, so she drew her sword and attacked.]

Raiden Mei: "..."

Pardofelis: "Wow, you're actually going to fight Brother Jie, Sister Mei. Are you always this brave? You easily did something I wouldn't even dare to imagine."

Pardofelis had only ever heard of Chakravartin getting angry or suddenly going berserk to cause trouble for others. This was the first time she'd heard of someone seeking out Chakravartin for trouble.

Wasn't that walking straight into the line of fire?

Chakravartin: "Herrscher, you are very brave. Has no one told you to stay away from me? Or are you trying to taste what it's like to have your bones crushed?!"

Kiana: "Hey, hey, hey, why does this guy explode at the slightest spark? Mei, what were you thinking, provoking this lunatic?"

Raiden Mei: "I, I don't know either!"

Mei knew that her future self might be a bit chuunibyou, and much braver than she was now.

But going to confront Chakravartin directly? Wasn't that just suicide? The kind where not even ashes would be left!

Wait.

Mei suddenly remembered that she was someone who could live until the After Honkai era.

If she could live until the After Honkai era, why should she be afraid of that reckless brute Chakravartin?

Chapter 55: Dreamer's Heart

Raiden Mei: "It's okay, Kiana. I'm someone who can live until the After Honkai era, which means Chakravartin absolutely cannot kill me."

Kiana: "Huh? Is that how it works?"

Bronya: "That's pretty much how it works. If you can live until the After Honkai era, what is there to be afraid of?"

It's just a small fry like Chakravartin.

Let's do this! Take him down!

Elysia: "Wow, what a brave Mei! And you even got away from Chakravartin unscathed. Could this be the power of the new civilization's Herrscher of Thunder?"

Kiana: "Anyone who lives until the After Honkai era has to have a bit of confidence."

Chakravartin: "Hahaha, good! Herrscher, you are very good!! I'm suddenly looking forward to our battle. I hope your bones will be as hard as your mouth! Raiden... Herrscher."

Raiden Mei: "It's Raiden Mei!"

With the script of living until the After Honkai era as a foundation, Mei managed to muster up some courage, not losing out to Chakravartin at all.

However, bluffing was still bluffing, and Mei was still a little scared inside.

What if one day Eden felt generous and gifted Chakravartin a trial version of the Life Coin? If he came knocking, she'd be toast.

At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder what possessed her in the Previous Era Elysian Realm to provoke Chakravartin so recklessly.

Raiden Mei: "Could it be that I was just too brave back then, thinking Chakravartin was asking for it, so I went up to give him a big slap?"

Chakravartin: "You can try, Herrscher. Try it with your life!!!"

Raiden Mei: "Okay, it doesn't look like it."

At least now, when Mei heard Chakravartin speak, she felt a little less confident.

If she really couldn't stand it and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt she was losing out, Mei thought she could endure it a bit longer if she gritted her teeth.

Elysia: "Mei, Chakravartin is speaking so outrageously, how can you stand it? You're someone who lived until the After Honkai era, you can't back down!"

Pardofelis: "Brave Mei-jie, don't be afraid of Brother Jie!"

Raiden Mei: "No, Elysia, I think you just want to see me make a fool of myself. I'm more inclined to believe the first option, to break Apponia's ten-day prophecy."

Kiana: "Ten-day prophecy? What's that?"

Pardofelis: "Sister Nia's words... it's probably a prophecy that you'll die in ten days."

Theresa: "That's amazing! Is Apponia's prophecy accurate?"

Elysia: "Yes, Apponia's prophecy ability is very effective. It's absolutely foolproof."

Kiana: "I remain skeptical."

What ten-day prophecy? It sounds like the kind of nonsense you'd hear from someone saying, "Young man, I see you have extraordinary bones, you're a rare talent, and you'll surely be adorned in imperial robes and dine on fine delicacies in the future."

But damn, it actually turned out to be accurate!

Bronya: "So, Mei-姐, in order to break the prophecy of dying in ten days, you went to find Chakravartin beforehand to have him kill you, and thus the prophecy was broken, right?"

Raiden Mei: "That should be it... I choose A."

Damn it, Mei herself thought that her past self in the Previous Era Elysian Realm was a genius.

You say I'll die on the tenth day, so I'll just kill myself a few days early, and your prophecy will be broken.

The key is that I can also skip a few detours.

[Correct Answer.]

Theresa: "It really is that. But didn't you say Apponia's prophecy is very accurate? Since she predicted Mei would die in ten days, why could Mei still live until the After Honkai era?"

Pardofelis: "Uh, maybe Sister Nia was just joking with Mei-jie?"

Elysia: "After all, in our impression, Apponia rarely tells people the exact time of her prophecies."

Chakravartin: "Apponia, hahaha, she's doing something meaningless and worthless again. The sins she has committed, the self-righteous farce, even if she falls into hell with me, she cannot atone for her sins!!!"

Kiana: "Chakravartin is acting up again."

As soon as Apponia was mentioned, Chakravartin would go crazy and yell in the chat group, almost deafening everyone.

I don't know what kind of sin he committed.

[Congratulations to Raiden Mei for obtaining the reward: Dreamer's Heart (Customized Version).]

[Description: The weapon of the Herrscher of Thunder. When equipped by Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, she can unleash the Mugetsu.]

[Explanation: Mei, once you draw the Dreamer's Heart, you will gain unprecedented power. However, at the same time, you will no longer be able to cook. The delicacies of the world will have nothing to do with you.]

Raiden Mei: "..."

Kiana: "Wait, Mei, don't draw it! What about the food at our St. Freya Academy? Hurry up and put that thing down!"

Bronya: "Sister Mei, you shouldn't do this, you need to calm down!"

Seeing that Raiden Mei was about to draw the Dreamer's Heart, everyone rushed forward to stop her, almost snatching it from Raiden Mei's hands.

It was no joke.

Although St. Freya Academy was a Far East Demon Cave, the base camp for Herrschers, Raiden Mei was the only Herrscher of Food.

If Mei couldn't cook anymore, what would the rest of them, who were just freeloaders, do?

Pardofelis: "Is there really a sword in this world that makes people unable to cook after drawing it?"

Elysia: "I don't know. We'll have to let Mei draw it out to see if it's true."

Kiana: "Pink Fairy, shut up. You won't be the one starving later. Mei, you can't draw it!"

Himeko grabbed Mei's hands and held her tightly.

If you want to draw the Dreamer's Heart, you have to get past her first!

Raiden Mei: "Alright then. I didn't really want to draw it out either. It took me a long time to learn how to cook. I'll put the Dreamer's Heart aside for now."

Kiana: "Give it to me, Mei, I'll keep it safe for you!"

Snatching the Dreamer's Heart, Kiana thought for a long time and ran back to her room. She decided to put the Dreamer's Heart in her bookshelf.

Her bookshelf was a mess, with her textbooks haphazardly placed, and even spiders had spun webs inside.

Only this place would never be opened again!

After doing all this, Kiana finally turned her attention back to the screen.
