Chapter 594

Fortunately, however, this 【Discipline】 was not the 【Discipline】 the Flame-Chasers spoke of; it was indeed just a Signet.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Raiden Mei brought the conversation back to the matter at hand.

"I have already proven that your 【Prophecy】 is not without flaws."

Raiden Mei meant that if Aponia did not appear, then the 【Prophecy】 she spoke of would collapse on its own.

"But... what if my appearance there was also a part of 【Fate】~?"

Raiden Mei: "... You are just splitting hairs."

In the end, the two of them engaged in a verbal contest over the topic of 【Fate】.

It could be considered a draw.

Even though she learned afterward that even if Aponia hadn't appeared at that moment, Elysia definitely would have stepped in to save her...

Raiden Mei still did not believe in that so-called 【Fate】.

There were four days left until the time of the 【Prophecy】.

During this period, Raiden Mei continued to investigate everywhere.

In terms of gameplay, it was just talking with the various Flame-Chasers.

It is worth mentioning that during this time, Raiden Mei promised Griseo to help her find a 【color that has never been seen before and is related to Raiden Mei】.

When the day of the 【Prophecy】 arrived, Raiden Mei finally obtained some useful information from Miss Miss Weierwei.

She had finally found a way to reach the Deepest Depths.

Coincidentally, Raven also had a mission that day, requiring her to leave the Elysian Realm and return to reality.

With that, Raiden Mei entrusted Raven with a task.

Remember, the reason Raiden Mei came to the Elysian Realm to adventure was to find the 【Key】 hidden in the deepest part of the realm.

And that secret was in the Deepest Depths.

As long as she reached the 【Deepest Depths】, she would be able to see the greatest secret hidden by the Elysian Realm.

But, Aponia was waiting for her there.

Therefore, she asked Raven to stay in reality and, while ensuring safety, record everything Raiden Mei saw.

"In this way, even if I cannot retreat unscathed, the decision of whether I can obtain the information I want... will still be in my hands."

"I hope you can help me keep that intelligence, and..."

Before Raiden Mei could finish, Raven interrupted: "Bring them to your companions, or find the right time to save you?"

Raiden Mei: "... I know this is difficult, so whether you help or not is up to you."

Raven nodded: "I understand... However, aren't you going to ask Klein for help? She is much more familiar with the Elysian Realm than I am."

Raiden Mei shook her head: "I have another matter to ask of her."

As she spoke, she took a test tube containing her own blood from her bosom.

This was what she had promised Griseo earlier—to help her find a pigment that was 【related to Raiden Mei and had never been seen before】.

Things had reached this point, and she no longer had time to help Griseo search.

The test tube in her hand was the only answer she could give Griseo.

It could be considered as not breaking her promise.

After saying goodbye to Raven, Raiden Mei went straight to find Miss Miss Weierwei.

After several days of investigation, combined with some previous details, Raiden Mei had figured out many things.

The 【Elysian Realm】 was a space constructed by 【Cognition】, and the Flame-Chasers all had their own areas.

And those areas were the places where the Flame-Chasers' memories were preserved.

Like 【Mobius's Laboratory】 corresponding to Mobius; the 【Studio】 corresponding to Griseo.

And the 【Deepest Depths】...

Raiden Mei guessed that this was not just the memory of Aponia alone, but was jointly constructed by the memories of many people.

However, for some reason, besides Miss Miss Weierwei, the Flame-Chaser who had shaken off 【Discipline】, only Elysia could directly take her to the Deepest Depths.

You ask how Raiden Mei knew about Elysia?

She had actually guessed it long ago.

After all, it was Elysia who had been guiding her step by step toward the Deepest Depths.

However, Raiden Mei did not point this out, so she did not go directly to find Elysia.

In the end, after Raiden Mei and Miss Miss Weierwei were honest with each other about everything, she finally stepped onto the path leading to the 【Deepest Depths】.

Seeing this, the players all became nervous.

After two major versions of foreshadowing for the Elysian Realm plot, the final secret was right ahead.

When Kiana controlled the character and entered the Elysian Realm's tower-climbing gameplay, a long string of prompts appeared on the left.

【In this exploration, the Teleport Anchors for "Helix" and "■■" will not appear】

【Remembrance Sigils "Because of You", "Boundless Love and Hate", and "Falling into the Past" cannot be used】

"Elysia didn't appear? And she's not giving me Signets either!?"

Kiana was somewhat disappointed.

It wasn't that she wanted to see Elysia, it was just that the Signets Elysia gave were simply too strong and too useful...

Without her Signets, to be honest... Kiana didn't have much confidence in reaching the 17th floor.

She thought that, but she definitely wouldn't say it out loud.

After all, Raiden Mei was still by her side, so she could only bite the bullet and go for it.

The level wasn't difficult, which made Kiana breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, when Raiden Mei stepped into the last floor.

Holy light shone down.

Aponia, kneeling on the ground in a prayer position, was already quietly waiting for Raiden Mei.

In this posture, she truly was like an apostle of God, radiating traces of divinity.

However, the small section of fair thigh exposed, as well as the massive evil on her chest... actually gave one an urge to "slay a god."

Start praying?

No, it's "enlightening"!

"Raiden Mei, what exactly made you decide to..."

"Fall so miserably into the 【End】?"

Aponia's voice remained light and gentle, carrying a hint of compassion for the world.

Seeing Aponia, Raiden Mei actually felt relieved.

"My final question has finally been answered—"

"My 【Death Date】, and my intention to go to the Deepest Depths, were indeed related, and even... they are the same thing!"

Aponia did not confirm Raiden Mei's words.

But she still tried to persuade Raiden Mei to leave.

"The final opportunity... please retreat now."

Raiden Mei naturally would not agree, and the battle began.

【Flame-Chaser Aponia】

This "evil" yet holy "nun," filled with divinity, finally revealed her health bar.

She floated slowly into the air, several moth-like wings growing from her back, and golden light shone down from above her head.

"There is no longer 【Aponia】 here; I have added will to fate, and..."

"Obtained its majestic and beautiful name."

"Herrscher of Thunder, awaken... and be saved!"

Surprisingly, after the battle started, Aponia completely changed from her usual gentle style, and her words seemed to reveal a sense of hatred toward Raiden Mei. ===== CHAPTER 596 =====
