Honkai Exposed, Starting with Iconic Elysian Realm Scenes

"I naturally understand. Unreserved honesty is your respect, otherwise, you wouldn't bear the mark of Ouroboros," Mei continued to provoke.

If she had sought out any other Flame-Chaser, her plan would have failed ninety-nine percent of the time.

But if she went to Chakravartin, it would be a hundred percent success.

"Fine, as you wish. It's been too long since I personally killed a Herrscher. Go on, I'll give you plenty of time to think of a hundred ways to save your own life!"

"And then, you'll die convinced!"

Easier than she'd imagined, Mei could already feel Chakravartin's killing intent about to materialize.

"The location, right here?"

"Here? Too fragile. It might suit you, but it's not worthy of me!"

His anger uncontainable, Chakravartin's voice began to roar, on the verge of exploding at any moment.

"Herrscher, reach the deepest part of the Elysian Realm with all your might. Even if you have to crawl, crawl there, or you won't even have the right to die by my hand!"

Pardofelis: "He's angry, he's angry! Brother Jie is really angry this time. Sister Mei, you better go deep, don't burn me over here."

The last time Pardofelis saw Chakravartin this angry was when he was facing Apponia.

Chakravartin's expression, wanting to kill her but unable to, and being lectured by her until he was furious, was exactly the same as now.

Theresa: "Pardo, you're such a disloyal friend!"

Pardofelis: "I have to survive to be loyal! Sister Mei, with my little body, I can't afford to offend anyone!"

Himeko Murata: "I'm curious, when Chakravartin sees this scene from a third-person perspective, will he still go berserk like in the video?"

Elysia: "Then, let's invite our hospitable Chakravartin to speak."

Chakravartin: "Boring. But if you need a burial ground and want to end your tragic life quickly, I'm happy to..."

Elysia: "Alright, that's enough from Chakravartin. It seems he's not angry."

Theresa: "What? You call this not angry?"

The Director almost thought she was hallucinating. Chakravartin's tone of voice was like dry tinder, ready to ignite at any moment.

You're telling me he's not angry yet?

Kiana: "If he's not angry, I'll eat these two chilies in my hand."

Bronya: "Kiana, just say you want to eat greedily!"

Elysia: "You guys really misunderstand. I've said it before, Chakravartin is very hospitable... although only the 'hot' part is true, he's really a very kind person."

Kiana: "I don't believe it, unless..."

BOOM!!!

Before Himeko could finish speaking, a fierce fire suddenly erupted in the kitchen, almost burning her ahoge.

This was followed by the sound of various pots and pans being overturned, and then electrical short circuits.

Until a violent explosion sounded, leaving the kitchen in ruins, with only a pressure cooker stuck to the ceiling.

The extent of the Kaslana girl's "persecution" of the kitchen was evident.

Raiden Mei: "Ki—a—na!! I told you not to get distracted while cooking, and now the kitchen has to be renovated again."

Kiana: "Mei, I was worried you'd be bullied by Chakravartin, that's why I was paying attention!"

Theresa: "Niece, do you think saying that will let you escape? The funds for repairing the kitchen will be deducted from your allowance."

Kiana: "No, Auntie."

Only now did Kiana realize how cruel the System's punishment was this time.

Not only would she not have dinner, but her allowance would also be deducted. It was simply inhumane!

[In the screen, Raiden Mei arrived at The Deep, a place where Chakravartin had once conducted his final trial.

And Chakravartin was already waiting for her there.

"Too slow, Herrscher."

"I thought you'd need more time to warm up. After all, you haven't fought a Herrscher from the next era yet, right? Maybe it's different from what you imagined."

"Oh, simpler then?"

Chakravartin sneered, his furious tone suddenly returning to normal.

"How long do you plan to keep up this act, Herrscher? Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but no one thinks I'm stupid. I don't care what your goal is."

Slay, fight, burn everything!

No matter what Mei's goal was, the enraged Chakravartin didn't want to think about it; he just wanted to fight joyfully.

"Now, the very place you wished to reach, The Deep, is here. You've obtained what you wanted, and it's time to pay the price!"

"I know you've been waiting for this moment too," Raiden Mei got into a fighting stance, wary of Chakravartin suddenly attacking like last time.

However, the expected attack didn't come. Instead, a wild laughter echoed in Mei's ears.

"Hahahaha, my rage has been unmet for too long, too long!"]

"Since you want him to reappear in this place, then try to bear it with all your might! Enough with the nonsense, come on!"

"Come forward, towards death, towards—me!!!"

Strike within and without, kill anyone you meet!

Scorching flames surged and burned, falling like meteorites to scorch the earth.

Chakravartin stood in place, and before he even made a move, the temperature of The Deep rose sharply. The intense heat melted the ground, making it feel as if they were inside an erupting volcano.

Raiden Mei was not to be outdone. She drew the katana at her waist, and thunder echoed in the sky.

For a moment, the two fought back and forth.

Chapter 58: Ouroboros's Hunt

Kiana: "Wow wow wow! Amazing, amazing, it's like gods fighting!"

Bronya: "After Sister Mei went to World Serpent, I didn't expect her to become so much stronger. She wasn't nearly this strong last time when she fought with that idiot Kiana on the rooftop."

Chakravartin's strength was undeniable, the sixth of the Flame-Chasers, and the most battle-hungry one at that.

He would casually unleash lava, high temperatures, and burn landmarks.

Having witnessed Kevin's absolute power in shattering a Divine Key with a single palm, everyone was not shocked by the strength Chakravartin displayed.

Instead, it was Raiden Mei, who had grown so rapidly and could now fight Chakravartin to a standstill.

Raiden Mei: "I'm actually this strong?"

Mei was also very shocked, or rather, she was the most shocked.

She was just an ordinary cook at St. Freya Academy, so how did she become so powerful after going to World Serpent?

Elysia: "Look, in the scene, Mei and Chakravartin are fighting evenly, and they're starting to say chuunibyou things again."

Theresa: "Roar, Jigokurou!"

Kiana: "It's just the roar of the heavens, you think that's enough?!"

Pardofelis: "Let me teach you the real reason why thunder makes people feel fear!"

Raiden Mei: "Cough, cough, keep it low-key, you guys keep it low-key."

She was so powerful that she could summon Jigokurou and fight Chakravartin to a fifty-fifty draw, all while spouting chuunibyou lines.

Mei felt a little embarrassed.

Sometimes, being too powerful was also a kind of trouble!

Kiana: "Amazing, amazing, as expected, Mei is the most amazing!"

Pardofelis: "After all, the Elysian Realm is where World Serpent's executives are tested. If Sister Mei didn't have some strength, Boss Kevin definitely wouldn't have let her in."

Theresa: "I understand. After all, not everyone who goes in comes out alive, especially the unlucky ones who face Chakravartin as the final trial."

Chakravartin: "The weak have no right to beg to leave my hands alive."

Kiana: "Sixth Flame-Chaser over there, I advise you not to be so arrogant. Mei can already fight you to a standstill, and in a few more days, she'll definitely be able to stomp you into the ground."

Pardofelis: "?!?"

Elysia: "Uh... are you serious?"

Pardo and Elysia both turned their gaze to Himeko, with expressions that suggested this child didn't seem very bright.

Chakravartin: "Strength? Hahahaha, you actually think this is my strength? Hahaha, those who can't even survive the warm-up have no chance to witness my true wrath, nor the qualification to be hunted by me!!!"

Theresa: "Holy crap, you mean you haven't even gone all out yet, Chakravartin?"

Elysia: "Yeah, no matter what, Chakravartin is a Flame-Chaser. How could the destructive power of a battle be this little?"

Pardofelis: "No way. If Brother Jie goes all out and unleashes his final blow, you'll die, you'll die... Sister Mei, you'll definitely die!"

Raiden Mei: "This is just a warm-up?!"

Raiden Mei, who had just gained a little confidence, immediately deflated.

She thought she was finally on the rise and could easily bully a few weak Herrschers, but she never expected the gap between her and a Flame-Chaser to be so vast.

Wait, did she get a bit too arrogant when she was spouting chuunibyou lines just now? Would Chakravartin kill her in a fit of rage?

[As the battle continued in the screen, Chakravartin acknowledged that Mei had the qualification to be personally killed by him and finally began to unleash his power.

"Come, Herrscher, throw yourself into the crimson flames with me, and let's see who will be... burned to ashes first!!"

"Flee! All your destinations will be burned to ashes!"

"I am the approaching destruction, I am the end!!!"

Scorching flames churned, and Chakravartin's rage turned everything it touched to ash. Raiden Mei, who had been able to resist, was instantly defeated.

]

Pardofelis: "She can't win anymore, Sister Mei really can't win anymore, Brother Jie is serious now!"

Raiden Mei: "Wait, this is too exaggerated. Are the trials for World Serpent executives this suicidal?"

Mei finally understood. Where was the need for trials? Where was the need to become a World Serpent executive?

Facing the volatile Brother Jie's final trial wasn't much different from being instantly incinerated.

At least the latter offered a more dignified end.

Kiana: "Are these trials meant to weed out spies? Anyone who encounters Brother Jie just dies."

Pardofelis: "Uh, usually, if you're not incredibly unlucky, you won't run into Brother Jie. And even if you do, it won't be this extreme. Sister Mei can definitely pass."

Elysia: "But if someone actively provokes Brother Jie, then it's another story."

Take Raiden Mei, for example. She was practically dancing on a minefield, and right into the reactor at that.

[In the footage, Chakravartin unleashed his full power, and Raiden Mei was quickly defeated, collapsing on the ground. The gap between them was still significant.

"Is that all? You remind me of the first Herrscher I tore apart. She died too quickly, I didn't get to enjoy it, nor did she get to despair."

Chakravartin, engulfed in flames, appeared like a demon.

"I'll give you a chance. Say your last words."

"So, you're not planning to stop?" Mei asked.

"Too late. If you wanted to reach your destination, you shouldn't have come looking for me. For me, things must come to an end, and there's only one way."

"I will speak my last words someday, but not now."

Raiden Mei lay on the ground, afraid to miss a single detail.

Apponia predicted her death in ten days. How would she escape this certain doom, and would her prophecy come true?

The truth would be revealed in Chakravartin's next move.

"Hahaha, very well. After today, this place will cease to exist along with you. Let's see who buries whom!"

The air grew scorching hot once more, and Chakravartin raised his hand.

If struck, there was no doubt Mei would be [Destroyed].]
