["...A kindred spirit."
"That person... the one who has been your [companion] these past ten days, guiding me to continue this [trial] at every perfect moment."
Aponia smiled: "Yes, just as she said, Mei never disappoints anyone."
"Your quest along this path, the reason Elysian Realm exists here, the secret guarded by the true [Depth]..."
"The location of the [Thirteenth Herrscher] - you now possess the qualification to go there."
"The Thirteenth Herrscher!?"
Mei never expected the secret to be this. "Qualification... everything you did before was to help her test me?"
"I had my own selfish motives too, but that's all. I've been waiting for someone like you to arrive, and now my wish has been fulfilled."
"Go, she's waiting for you."
Before departing, Mei had some questions. Aponia frankly admitted her hatred for humanity, but believed that protecting all humans didn't conflict with thinking some shouldn't exist. "Even knowing that among those you protect exist beings you detest, who also detest your existence, you still step forward."
"Alright, please set out quickly."
"Do you remember the possibility I mentioned before? Since those moments preserved by me... the only thing here worth passing down is about to see the light of day again..."
"Then, this Elysian Realm... must also face its final [fate]." "Let us... bid temporary farewell."]
[Kiana]: "Elysia is the Thirteenth Herrscher!?"
[Seele]: "What, is it that hard to believe that person is a Herrscher?"
[Theresa]: "Huh? But wait, didn't they say Herrschers in the Previous Era had no sense of self?"
[Aponia]: "Therefore, Elysia is special, one of a kind."
[Elysia]: "You're making me feel a bit embarrassed saying all that♪"
[Honkai·Welt]: "So this is why Kevin wanted me to join World Serpent in the Sea of Quanta, and then have Mei enter the Realm."
[March 7th]: "Uncle Yang, what is it?"
[Silver Wolf]: "Dummy, aren't they all Herrschers with self-awareness? [Kindred spirits]."
[Dan Heng]: "Judging from this uniqueness, Herrschers in the Current Era having selves is probably related to Elysia."
["[Before me]
[No creation existed in this world]
[If anything is eternal and indestructible]
[Then it is settling within my body]
Open the gate of finality."
"...Noble and pure soul!"
Amid Aponia's hymn, Mei stepped toward the gate high in the sky. Beyond the gate lay a beautiful garden. Flowers of various colors bloomed in the garden, beautiful butterflies fluttered everywhere, and Mei's gaze fixed on that familiar figure. "Well~ You've finally arrived here. Now, let me properly introduce myself!"
"Flame-Chaser number two, Elysia of the [Ego] sigil."
"As for the other identity, you should have already guessed it, right?"
"Before you truly come before the [Thirteenth Herrscher]..."
"Hi~ How does it feel?"
Miss Pink Elf showed the gentlest smile to the first successor to arrive here in fifty thousand years.]
[Star Rail·Himeko]: "The [Ego] sigil really suits Miss Elysia."
[Silver Wolf]: "[Ego]... Could it be that Elysia truly treats everyone with complete sincerity, exactly as she appears?"
[Firefly]: "...Hey, Silver Wolf, you really should play fewer games. You should believe that such people really exist in this world, stop thinking about popular tropes like 'pink on the outside, black on the inside'."
[Argenti]: "Ah! Miss Elysia, how [pure and beautiful] the 'Ego' sigil is! It's as if she's the embodiment of the Aeon of Beauty......"
[March 7th]: "For once, Argenti's endless praises are unexpectedly hard to refute."
[Stelle]: "This lady, are you willing to admit that [Ego] Flame-Chaser Elysia's beauty is peerless throughout the world!?"
[]: "I DO!!!"
[March 7th]: "Oh no, just thinking about [] showing up tells me the next story must have some knives."
[Theresa]: "What's coming next should be the destruction of Elysian Realm and the descent of the Herrscher of Corruption. How could that possibly be happy?"
[So let's watch something happier first!! About Amphoreus!]
[Stelle]: "I'll trust you one more time!"
["Honkai: Star Rail"OP "Who" now playing.]
[Herta]: "This looks interesting, hurry up."
[Accompanied by grand music, a corner of Amphoreus unfolds before everyone. Many soldiers kneel in worship behind, while White Disaster ahead reveals his muscular upper body, smearing golden blood upon himself.
A massive Titan carries the dawn on its back as pink adorable little creatures fly through the city below. "Cycle, hope and despair sing alternately."
Aglaea covered in golden threads, surrounded by tailors, raises the sacred golden apple to the sky. Three cute Tribbios receive letters while a cat uses its tail to scoop up gold coins before Tribio, leaping down from the wall. "Rise and fall, memories leave only echoes of doom."
In a garden, Anaxa seems to be performing something before Hyacine. In a dim palace, Mydeimos sits high on the throne, raising wine glasses with subordinates. In a shattered temple, Castorice kneels within as scales collapse. "Forgetting~"
"Future and past turn to ashes, all buried for rebirth."
Scenes from the Golden Journey flash by—Golden Descendants gather under the dome constellation, and then—
Everything turns to ashes, leaving only Stelle alone. "Fate exiles me, so what—"
"Does it matter!!!"
On the battlefield, Stelle struggles to stand. Mimi flies over, transforming into a quill pen in Stelle's hand. Stelle swings it down forcefully, and then—all structures shatter! Cyrene passes through the barrier, gently embracing Stelle from behind.]
[Stelle]: "It's you! Elysia... Cyrene!!"
[Silver Wolf]: "Wait wait wait, this is the happy story!!?"
[Herta]: "Quite interesting. It seems Amphoreus story isn't simple."
[Dan Heng]: "From the clues revealed so far, Amphoreus contains enormous amounts of information."
[Pardofelis]: "Hiss, that scene where Cyrene hugs Stelle from behind—I almost mistook her for Elysia. They look so similar, seems like something Sister Elysia would do too."
[Hua]: "Using tail to scoop gold coins seems like something Pardo would do too."
[Sakura]: "Indeed, Mydeimos and Kalpas' personalities aren't similar either. In 'Amphoreus Hero Records', I thought they'd have similar temperaments."
[Elysia]: "Alright alright, Stelle, our story has ended, and what you encounter is your own story. Each of us is unique. Though I'm happy to know there are girls as lovely as me in the universe too♪"
[Elysia]: "Of course, don't forget about me either. When you go to Amphoreus, tell my story to Cyrene♪"
A/N : Ahem, the amount of information in this preview is really substantial. Now that the "Elysian Realm" storyline has concluded, would you prefer to immediately enter "Everlasting Elysium" next, or write some Honkai Star Rail storyline first? I'm leaning toward "Everlasting Elysium" Type 1 for "Everlasting Elysium" Type 2 for "Feixiao Storyline"
