Raiden Mei: "Wait a minute, I've lived through After Honkai, I've obtained After Honkai, how could I die? There's no way I can dodge this, right? There's absolutely no way I can dodge this strike!"
From any angle, Raiden Mei didn't think she had any chance of dodging Chakravartin's attack.
If she were hit, she'd surely turn to dust!
Elysia: "Mei, I regret to inform you that by yourself, you absolutely cannot dodge this strike."
Pardofelis: "Unless Brother Jie suddenly decides he doesn't want to fight anymore."
Kiana: "Ahem, Chakravartin, do you think there's any possibility, like, you might suddenly go soft and let Mei off the hook?"
Chapter 59: Chakravartin's Mask: A Hundred Questions, From Beginner to Buried
Chakravartin: "Heh, a prey that's already in my grasp, do you think there's any possibility of letting it go? Especially a Herrscher as rare as this."
Alright, judging by Chakravartin's stance, it was clear that either Raiden Mei or he wouldn't stop until one of them was finished.
Asking him to stop would be less effective than hoping Raiden Mei would suddenly unleash her power and go toe-to-toe with Chakravartin.
Pardofelis: "Sigh, when Mei-sister provoked Brother Jie earlier, I knew it would end up like this. Now, look, she'll probably be lucky if even her ashes are left."
Theresa: "Cherish life, stay away from Chakravartin."
Himeko Murata: "I've felt for a while that Mei's plan was questionable, a bit too dangerous. If you're not careful, you could end up sending yourself away. Mei, you can't do this again in the future."
Raiden Mei: "Don't worry, Teacher Himeko, I'll turn over a new leaf and be a good Herrscher from now on!"
It was too dangerous.
Even though she knew she wouldn't die, Mei's heart tightened as she saw Chakravartin's fist, the size of a sandbag, coming towards her head.
This was a gamble!
Bronya: "Mei-sister definitely won't die here, which means someone will come to save Mei-sister."
Raiden Mei: "Is that so?"
Elysia: "Of course, after all, Mei, we've been friends with skin-to-skin contact. How could I stand by and watch you get into trouble?"
Raiden Mei: "Let's not bring up the touching of horns again!"
That annoying Pink Fox, she never missed an opportunity to take advantage of her.
[The questioning begins.]
[Raiden Mei is in dire straits, and will be instantly killed by Chakravartin's punch in the next second. Who will step in to save her?]
[A: Kevin.]
[B: Elysia.]
[C: Apponia.]
[D: Griseo.]
Elysia: "..."
Kiana: "What's wrong, Miss Elysia? Didn't you just confidently say you'd step in to save Mei? Why are you suddenly speechless?"
As soon as the topic of who would save Mei came up, the System immediately followed with a quiz, and everyone's gazes swept towards Elysia.
Raiden Mei: "Elysia, you're not tricking us, are you?"
Elysia: "Of course not. Mei, it truly saddens me that you would think that. I promise and guarantee that I will save you before Chakravartin makes his move."
Theresa: "So, you're not denying that you've been watching from the sidelines the whole time, are you?"
Bronya: "Mei-sister is being beaten so badly, and you still have the mood to watch the show?"
Kiana: "Elysia, naughty!"
Elysia: "Wasn't I doing this to help Mei successfully execute her plan? If I had intervened and stopped Chakravartin midway, how would she have proven the correctness of the Ten-Day Prophecy?"
Raiden Mei: "That actually makes some sense."
If Elysia had acted slower, after being severely beaten by Chakravartin, Mei could still verify the prophecy's accuracy.
But if Elysia had acted earlier, Mei would still be severely beaten by Chakravartin, and all her previous efforts would be in vain, plus she'd take a beating for nothing.
Elysia: "If no one else stops Chakravartin, I will definitely intervene at the most critical moment, when Mei needs protection the most."
Bronya: "No one else... do you mean Kevin, Apponia, or Griseo?"
Even Griseo was an option, Bronya couldn't help but sigh, wondering if the System's choices were a bit too absurd.
Pardofelis: "Let's forget about Griseo. Like me, she's non-combat personnel."
Chakravartin: "Child, boring."
Theresa: "Then it's a choice between Apponia and Kevin, right? I guess it's Apponia, I choose C!"
[Correct answer.]
[Congratulations to Theresa for obtaining the item: "Chakravartin's Mask: A Hundred Questions, From Beginner to Cremation." Author: Elysia.]
Theresa: "What, what is this?"
A thick stack of booklets fell into Theresa's hands. Unsurprisingly, this was the "Chakravartin's Mask: A Hundred Questions, From Beginner to Cremation" gifted by the System.
Kiana: "From beginner to cremation, that book's title sounds unreliable. Elysia, are you serious?"
Elysia: "Slander! The System is slandering me, I'm so hurt. I clearly wrote 'Chakravartin's Mask: A Hundred Questions, From Beginner to Mastery,' guess it's for friendly exchanges with Chakravartin."
Chakravartin: "Elysia, do you want to feel my wrath too?!"
Elysia: "Chakravartin, don't be fierce. This is for your own good, and writing this book took a lot of effort."
Eden: "But Elysia, I've heard that your book is unreliable, and many parts even contradict each other."
Pardofelis: "I, I've heard that too."
As for the detailed circumstances, one would have to ask the staff in Fire Moth who were responsible for conversing with Chakravartin.
Those who tried to get along with Chakravartin were basically, just like the title of Elysia's book suggested, cremated without any suspense.
Theresa: "So, is this thing actually useful?"
Himeko Murata: "Theresa, you'll know if you try, Chakravartin is right here anyway."
Chakravartin: "Hahaha, try? Has no one told you to stay away from me? Or do you also want to fall into the fiery abyss and feel those scorching flames!!!"
Theresa: "..."
No, no, the Director could tell from his stance that something was wrong.
If she really did as the book said, she would definitely be cremated on the spot.
At least... the book's title wasn't wrong. A one-stop service from beginner to cremation, with outstanding results.
Elysia: "Wait, System, I protest! That book was clearly written by me, and you took it out as a reward without my permission. I protest!"
Pardofelis: "Ah, Sister Ai, isn't this not good?"
[What do you think would be better?]
Elysia: "Protest! I want compensation. I worked hard writing it for a long time, you've hurt a beautiful girl's pure heart, you must compensate."
Pardofelis: "Right, compensation! Compensation is a must!"
She initially thought it wasn't great, but after hearing about compensation, her attitude immediately changed.
Elysia: "I don't want too much. Consider it a small treat for the chat group members, how about giving everyone a little surprise?"
Theresa: "Elysia, isn't this not good?"
Kiana: "This is the first time I've seen Elysia be so generous. Before, it was always Eden scattering wealth. Tell me, are you Eden in disguise?"
Eden: "I just think everyone likes gems, so I exchange external possessions for everyone's sincere smiles. The term 'scattering wealth' is too vulgar."
Another wave of wealth surged towards them, and everyone felt like the golden external possessions were almost too hot to hold.
If possible, they wouldn't mind receiving more of these vulgar things, letting her bear the world's filth!
Chapter 60: Punching Schicksal, Kicking World Serpent, and Fighting Kevin to a Stalemate
Elysia: "As expected of Eden. Smiles and happiness are priceless. I need to learn from you properly."
Pardofelis: "Sister Ai is generous, Sister Ai is the best! System, quickly bring out the valuable good stuff, shame me with heavy treasures!"
Kiana: "Pardo, restrain yourself a bit, don't embarrass our chat group!"
Pardofelis: "Don't you want it? Then you can give it to me. I'm willing to bear that pain for you."
Kiana: "Dream on, I want it too!"
[...The System is gifting each person a Stigmata, containing immense power. Please use it with caution.]
As soon as the words fell, a card appeared in everyone's hand, its golden radiance dazzling.
Each card contained a corresponding Stigmata, which could grant powerful strength upon transplantation.
Elysia: "Hanna, what is this?"
Pardofelis: "Mine is also Hanna."
Kiana: "Mine is also... all Hanna."
Theresa: "System, you've gone too far!!!"
Damn it!
She knew the System had ill intentions, but she never expected it to be so shameless.
One Hanna for each person, is this something a person would do?!
What's the difference between this and drawing from a big supply, only to get over ten pages of Hanna?!!
You have the nerve to say you're gifting Stigmata, saying they contain immense power, only to shove Hanna after Hanna in our faces?!
Are you testing the Valkyries with this?
Which Valkyrie can't withstand such a test!!!
As everyone was enraged, the System chose to evade and directly displayed a scene.
[In the scene, Mei lay on the ground, and Chakravartin was about to deliver the final blow. Suddenly, a voice stopped his action, leaving his burning rage with nowhere to vent. "Apponia, you again! Get lost!"]
Chakravartin roared, but couldn't lay a hand on Apponia.
"Ah, Chakravartin, you're here too. Could I ask you to move somewhere else for a moment? I'd like to speak with Mei alone."
Apponia spoke softly, even using the word "ask."
"Don't even think about it! You... Apponia, do you want to die again?!"
"Chakravartin."
Chakravartin suddenly approached Mei, his imposing presence undiminished. The flames on his arm still burned, yet he couldn't throw a punch.
It was as if Apponia's two words were a magical restraint, locking his rage in place.
"There won't be a next time, Herrscher."
Chakravartin stared furiously at Apponia, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, he merely let out a cold snort and walked away.
"It's been a while, and Chakravartin is getting so much more obedient."
Apponia sighed, watching Chakravartin's receding figure from afar until the scene ended.
Kiana: "What the hell?! That's insane!"
Shock. Unparalleled shock.
If Mei and Chakravartin's previous battle had seemed like a thrilling, hard-fought war to them, then Apponia's appearance and the way she subdued Chakravartin could only be described as awe-inspiring.
What a joke.
Chakravartin, who would just fight anyone he disliked, was scared away with a single sentence?
Raiden Mei: "Is Apponia really that strong? She didn't even do anything, just one word scared Chakravartin away?"
Theresa: "If I hadn't seen him beat up Mei before, I would have almost thought this Chakravartin was an imposter."
