Honkai Exposed, Iconic Scenes from the Elysian Realm's Beginning

Kiana: "Herrscher of Reason, run! We've got a Pink Fairy here who likes to get close to girls."

Herrscher of Reason: "?!?"

What's going on? It feels like I've suddenly landed in a den of demons. And someone's acting like a complete idiot, wanting to kill me the moment they arrive.

The Herrscher of Reason suspected she'd been tricked, until she saw the names Raiden Mei and Elysia among them, and then it all clicked.

Aren't these all old acquaintances?!!

Theresa: "Kiana, you idiots scared the newcomer. What if she's a good Herrscher fighting Honkai like us?"

Pardofelis: "More accurately, a traitor."

Herrscher of Reason: "What traitor, traitor, don't think I don't know you. Since Kiana and the others are here, the old fossil must be here too, right? Old fossil, come out here!!!"

Kiana: "?!! How does she seem to know us?"

Bronya: "And not just a little bit."

Fu Hua: "But who is she referring to as 'old fossil'? Does anyone know?"

Immortal Crimson Bird looked around. The oldest among them should be Theresa.

But she wasn't even a hundred years old, so she shouldn't be considered an old fossil, let alone an 'old fossil'.

Elysia: "Ahem, Hua. Think about it. The Herrscher of Reason knows Kiana, which means she's a Herrscher from your era. Who do you think 'old fossil' is referring to?"

Fu Hua: "...Could it be me?"

Immortal Crimson Bird wore a look of utter disbelief.

Had her seniority suddenly jumped from 'immortal' to 'old fossil'?

Herrscher of Reason: "Huh? If not you, then who? Old fossil, I'm telling you, our score isn't settled yet. Don't think this is the end of it."

Fu Hua: "Wait, what score? I don't know you at all."

Herrscher of Reason: "You really are an old fossil, learning to turn your back and deny people! Just you wait, I'll get back what's mine sooner or later."

Fu Hua: "Young lady, you've truly mistaken me for someone else."

Sigh, what is all this?!

A Herrscher appeared out of nowhere, clamoring for an accounting, and Fu Hua couldn't recall any entanglement with this era's Herrscher of Reason.

Elysia: "It seems there's been a misunderstanding. I have a feeling this Miss Herrscher of Reason has quite a background."

Kiana: "No matter how impressive her background, can she be stronger than our class monitor? You know our class monitor punched through Schicksal HQ, kicked World Serpent, and beat up Durandal. A mere Herrscher of Reason, it's not too late to beg for mercy now."

Herrscher of Reason: "?!?"

Wait, Herrscher-chan suddenly felt something was wrong. When did the old fossil do all these things?

Weren't those things she did?

Oh no, I've become a substitute!

Herrscher of Reason: "Old fossil, you shameless thing! It's one thing to steal my body, but you even impersonated me!!!"

Kiana: "?!?"

Pardofelis: "Another huge scoop!"

Everyone's gazes turned uniformly towards Fu Hua, their eyes filled with scrutiny.

Who would have thought that you, the seemingly upright Immortal Crimson Bird, would do such a thing!

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Young Lady, Do Not Slander My Name

Fu Hua: "Young lady, please do not make baseless accusations. When did I ever steal your body? Speak with evidence."

Herrscher of Reason: "You really are an old fossil, still refusing to admit it? Now that Kiana and the Thirteen Flame-Chasers are all here, do you believe I'll expose your crimes in front of everyone?!"

Elysia: "Please, do tell us. What bizarre events transpired between you and Hua? I'm very curious."

Kiana: "Curious +1."

Raiden Mei: "Curious +1."

Fu Hua: "Uh..."

It's over. What's happening? Why do I inexplicably feel a sense of guilt?

Could it be that I really hurt some naive, ignorant little girl in the past?

Impossible...

Herrscher of Reason: "Fine, old fossil, I'll reason with you today. You are the Immortal Crimson Bird, the body is yours. But I am the consciousness born from that body. You had already left, so when I was born from the body, it should have belonged to me."

Herrscher of Reason: "Then you and Kiana beat me up and took the body back. You tell me, isn't that your fault?"

Kiana: "?!?"

Fu Hua: "?!?"

Pardofelis: "Why is my head spinning? I didn't quite understand."

Did Fu Hua cheat, or did her body betray her?

The Herrscher of Reason revealed a flood of information that left everyone feeling a bit lost. How did Fu Hua's body become hers?

What's more, Kiana and Fu Hua seemed to have teamed up to beat her up.

Judging by the child's pitiful tone, it was clear that Kiana and Fu Hua hadn't held back when they were hitting her. The child seemed so wronged.

Bronya: "Wait! Bronya thinks she understands."

Fu Hua: "Explain."

Bronya: "Classmate, didn't you wake up from a medical pod in the video just now? If that person wasn't the original you, but the newly born Herrscher of Reason, then everything makes sense!"

Bronya: "The Herrscher of Reason accepted your memories, believing herself to be Fu Hua, and then sought revenge on Otto, not even giving him a chance to speak before crushing his Honkai-infused face with a few punches."

Bronya: "Then she started going on a rampage, beating up anyone she didn't like. That's why she acted in ways so unlike you, Classmate."

So that's how it was. After careful analysis, "Duck Duck" finally understood.

So you were the idiot who got my driver's license revoked!

You rushed over without a word, smashing through the bridge in a reckless charge, and then knocked the Heavy Machinery Rabbit offline with a single punch.

Bronya had been wondering why Classmate had been so harsh on her, but it turns out it was this "Herrscher Treasure" causing trouble.

Pardofelis: "Wait! So, punching Schicksal HQ and kicking World Serpent wasn't done by Ah Hua, but by this Herrscher right here?"

Bronya: "If Bronya's guess is correct, then it's not wrong."

Herrscher of Reason: "What, are only old antiques allowed to be powerful? You're not letting me go on a rampage? A mere Durandal, I don't even care about her."

Kiana: "You're really something."

Alright, now everyone finally understood.

So it was this little one who caused everything. They had all thought Fu Hua had turned evil!

Turns out, the one who woke up from the medical pod wasn't Fu Hua at all, but a newly born Herrscher.

What is this? Fu Hua can't become a Herrscher, but a Herrscher can become Fu Hua?

Himeko Murata: "But there's still a question. Why are you in the chat group? We haven't experienced future events yet, so you shouldn't have been born, right?"

Herrscher of Reason: "You're asking about that? Who knows? I only just returned the body to the old antique not long ago. I was still sulking when a strange thing suddenly popped into my head."

Herrscher of Reason: "It said it could give me my original body, my own body. After I agreed, I was pulled into this darn chat group."

Elysia: "Uh, aren't you afraid of being tricked?"

Herrscher of Reason: "What a joke. I'm a Herrscher who controls consciousness. Who could possibly trick me?"

Elysia: "..."

Alright, it seems that even though the Herrscher of Reason accepted Fu Hua's fifty thousand years of memories, she was still essentially a child who hadn't grown up.

She was too easily fooled.

Pardofelis: "So, you're not on Honkai's side either? You're like Kiana and the others, a Herrscher who wants to fight Honkai?"

Herrscher of Reason: "Huh? I am Fu Hua, Immortal Crimson Bird! Of course, I'm going to fight Honkai!"

Fu Hua: "But I am Fu Hua."

Herrscher of Reason: "Old antique, you say you're Fu Hua, do you have proof? Or do you have proof that I'm not Fu Hua? I have your memories. If it's about protecting Shenzhou, I can do a better job than you. Therefore, I am Fu Hua!"

Although it sounded like twisted logic, the Herrscher of Reason firmly believed she would protect Shenzhou better than Fu Hua.

And Fu Hua herself didn't refute this.

After protecting Shenzhou for five thousand years, she had lost friends and made mistakes. If the Herrscher of Reason had been there, at least Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu wouldn't have died at the hands of Chi You.

She had chosen to save the common people over protecting her friends, which was why she arrived too late, leading to Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu perishing with Chi You.

That was Immortal Crimson Bird's choice, and it was a sin Fu Hua could never forget.

But that didn't mean Fu Hua was willing to deny her past.

Herrscher of Reason: "Even so, I am Immortal Crimson Bird. This won't...?!"

Kiana: "Classmate, your name seems to have changed."

Fu Hua: "Hahaha, old antique, do you see? I am Fu Hua! Who the past Fu Hua was doesn't matter at all, because I will do better than you in the future, so I am Fu Hua!"

Fu Hua: "The Herrscher of Reason modified your consciousness. Now everyone thinks she's Fu Hua!"

What you said made so much sense that Fu Hua couldn't find a reason to refute it for a moment.

Herrscher of Reason: "This prank ends now. Herrscher of Reason, quickly change it back for me."

Fu Hua: "Tch, fine, I'll change it back. Old antique has no sense of humor at all."

Herrscher Treasure felt a little wronged, muttering to herself that the old antique didn't understand love, but she reluctantly changed the name back.

Old antique, I curse you to have a flat chest and always fly planes!

Kiana: "Classmate, Herrscher of Reason is so sensible and cute, and you're still scolding her. That's too much!"

Fu Hua: "?!! No, when did I..."

Bronya: "Class President, the Herrscher of Reason did get revenge for you, beating up Bishop Otto and causing a huge ruckus at Schicksal HQ. I also think what you did was a bit much."

Pardofelis: "Um, Hua, even if she's a Herrscher, it's not good for you and Kiana to team up and beat her up."

For a moment, due to their affection for the Herrscher of Reason, Fu Hua's reputation plummeted, and she immediately felt unloved.

Chapter 70: This is the complete Herrscher of Reason, the complete Fu Hua, the complete me!

Herrscher of Reason: "Hehe, you guys understand me best. The sound of Otto's soul steel face creaking under my fists back then was truly wonderful!"

Kiana: "Coincidentally, I feel the same way. Next time, call me along!"

Herrscher of Reason: "Sure, as long as you're not instigated by that old fossil. Kiana, you're quite sensible. I'll protect you from now on, and I guarantee you'll have plenty to eat and drink!"

Kiana: "Will do, will do."

Immortal Body plus Herrscher Authority.

She's a fierce individual who beat up Kevin and Durandal. I definitely need to cling to such a powerful figure.

[The Q&A begins.]

[After the Herrscher of Reason awakened, she began to wreak havoc at Schicksal HQ. How did Otto get her to leave willingly?]

[A: Schicksal HQ has a large number of Valkyries, and Bishop Otto's martial arts are unrivaled in the world. He used his immense power to make the Herrscher of Reason leave.]

[B: Played the emotional card. Immortal Crimson Bird, I wasn't lying.]

[C: Otto told the Herrscher of Reason a story, and it took him quite some effort to appease her.]

[D: Directly diverted the disaster, tricking this jinx into going towards Kevin.]

Theresa: "The extensive destruction at Schicksal HQ was indeed caused by you, Herrscher of Reason!"

So, they had thought Fu Hua had done a great job... cough, a troublesome job, and now they realized it was the Herrscher of Reason who did it.
