The players reacted intensely to Elysia's Herrscher of Human: Ego revelation.
Because no one saw it coming!!
Elysia was so good at flirting. If not a femme fatale, then at least a chaos-seeking trickster, right?
But no—Elysia was simply a pure good girl. Genuinely kind to everyone, and genuinely affectionate to each companion.
That kind of her—so beautiful, dazzling, and flawless.
And when facing someone like Elysia, so perfect and wonderful…
The more they had doubted her before, the worse they felt now.
To make it worse, Elysia even said, "Elysia won't blame anyone."
That shattered all their defenses in an instant.
[Once you know Elysia's true self, and think back to that scene just now, it hits ten times harder.]
[I just want to perish with the scriptwriter!!]
[This pain needs oxygen—our writer has no heart!]
Bullet comments came one after another.
Their emotions finally began to settle.
[Though I doubted Elysia before, I've decided to correct myself starting today, and sincerely meet her expectations.]
[Knowing how Elysia's story ends… I'm more grateful than ever for the existence of the Elysian Realm. At least her memory lives on.]
[Yeah. At least we still have her memory.]
Those deciding to change their ways did so. Those feeling grateful, likewise.
After watching Elysia's big reveal, Kiana grew even more curious about what would happen next.
She couldn't wait and tapped the screen.
But as she tapped, Mei suddenly returned to the Realm's hall.
A few lines of subtitles flashed by.
[You have completed all content for Chapter 3 of the Flame-Chaser Trials.]
[You may now continue exploring the Elysian Realm and investigate the stories that occurred before the battle with Aponia.]
"Another cliffhanger!!"
Kiana couldn't help but complain to Hokuto: "Boss, you've been getting really into cliffhangers lately."
"I'm doing it for everyone's sake," Hokuto replied with a tone that sounded extremely sincere.
If he released the [Elysian Realm] content now,
It would definitely affect players' mood during the New Year.
And that wouldn't be good.
He still hoped players could enjoy the holidays, get in the right mindset, and then greet [Elysian Realm] with their best spirit.
"For everyone's sake? Sure, I'll pretend to believe that."
Of course, Kiana didn't buy Hokuto's excuse.
She lightly shook her head and turned her attention back to the game.
At this point, a new function had unlocked after completing the main story:
[Flame-Chaser Relationship Network]
Upon opening it, Kevin's portrait appeared at the center, with other Flame-Chasers' icons circling him. Arrows connected their portraits, each labeled with text.
For example, the arrow from Elysia to Kevin read: [Likes]
Kiana exclaimed in shock the moment she saw it.
But wasn't Kevin's official pairing Dr. MEI?
Her imagination instantly drafted a 10,000-word love-hate drama on the spot.
The viewers noticed this too.
Their hands were already poised on their keyboards.
Kiana switched characters.
Following Kevin, of course, was Elysia.
And Elysia's Flame-Chaser relationship chart... well, if you know, you know.
It screamed one thing: "Love for all."
Kiana paused for a moment when she saw all the arrows pointing from Elysia to the others were labeled [Likes]. She couldn't help but chuckle.
The viewers immediately deleted what they were typing and retyped:
[True social queen of the Elysian Realm.]
[Do you even understand the sheer charisma of the Sea King of the Previous Era?!]
[Elysia really does love everyone. I'm crying.]
"As expected of Elysia."
Seeing that entire neat row of [Likes], Mei couldn't help but smile as she sighed.
Hearing that, Elysia's voice perked up excitedly: "Elysia is amazing, right!!"
Pleased by Mei's acknowledgement, Elysia hummed two cheerful notes.
But before she could enjoy it fully—
The viewers quickly found something else interesting.
[Did no one notice that the arrow from Mobius to Elysia says "You got fat"?]
[...It really does say 'You got fat.' Hahahaha I'm dying.]
["Elysia—You Got Fat"]
Elysia, seeing the comments, stopped smiling and focused, brows furrowing as she looked.
She found that, indeed, the arrow from Mobius to her clearly read: "You got fat."
Of course, she didn't think this was Mobius's doing.
Even if Mobius did think that way, at least the comment on the relationship chart shouldn't be her doing.
This was obviously Hokuto adding it on purpose!
"I'm just honoring past storylines," Hokuto replied when he heard Elysia's dissatisfaction.
The "storyline" he referred to…
In the game, Elysia once teased Mobius, saying she looked small now, like a child, and even mentioned that Eden's new uniforms felt too tight lately.
Mobius, hit with secondhand Versailles syndrome, couldn't help retorting, "Elysia—you got fat."
"You really didn't need to honor it that faithfully~~"
Having voice-acted that scene herself, Elysia immediately realized what Hokuto meant and responded with slight exasperation.
"That won't do. It wouldn't be fun otherwise…"
Hokuto nearly slipped but quickly coughed to cover it up: "Ahem ahem—I mean, Honkai Impact 3rd is a game that pays meticulous attention to detail."
"You definitely just said it wouldn't be fun, didn't you? You did, didn't you!"
This time, Elysia wouldn't be fooled by Hokuto.
"You must've misheard. I never said anything like that," Hokuto denied firmly.
Seeing Hokuto's stubborn denial, Elysia gave a cute nasal huff.
"Mm~~ 'Otto'-san sure is being dishonest today~~"
Hokuto simply replied: "Mhm."
Admitting one's dishonesty… is that not a form of honesty?
Elysia realized Hokuto was entirely unfazed and certainly wouldn't admit he added the "You got fat" note on Mobius's arrow just for laughs.
