MGSFV?! Chapter 415. Kiana: Elysia... Who Is She?
🕑 Added 2025-11-04 23:01:01 +0000 UTCMGSFV?! Chapter 415. Kiana: Elysia... Who Is She?
Of course, judging from the stream chat in Elysia’s stream,
one thing was clear—
Players genuinely found joy in the previous chapter.
“Can’t you all think positively? What if the next part is even more fun?”
Hokuto couldn’t hold back and said it aloud.
【More fun ahead? Really?】
【Even so, I reserve my right to doubt before believing.】
Hokuto: “……”
“…Forget it.”
……
The story continued.
Guided by Mei, Kiana and Bronya reached the spatial anomaly.
This part required player control.
So Elysia had time to admire the main trio’s battlesuits.
Kiana in red, Mei in black, and Bronya in white—
but looking closely, each suit actually featured all three colors.
Despite being developed at different times,
their designs harmonized perfectly.
Just having the three of them on screen together evoked
a nostalgic sense of “the good old days.”
“So nice…”
Elysia softly murmured, operating the characters to the mission location.
Triggering the next cutscene.
Mei stood at a subtle distortion in space and began analyzing.
“This is an artificially created [spatial fracture],
but it can only be detected by those with specific [experience].”
She examined the area in front of the others,
murmuring almost unconsciously:
“If I hadn’t adapted to Elysia’s habits—or perhaps… her way of thinking—
I probably wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual here.”
“Elysia…”
Kiana hesitated a moment, then asked:
“Is she from World Serpent?”
【Tell us more about Elysia.】
【Bugsy: (suspicious)】
【What a curious question… I can’t take it.】
Elysia: “……”
But Mei still answered.
“She’s one of the [Flame-Chasers],
She once fought alongside the Class Monitor… and Kevin.”
That’s enough, that’s enough.
Mei seemed to realize that herself—
She paused briefly, then kept it vague.
“She’s also… a recent friend of mine.”
【“Just friends.”】
【It’s true! Not wrong at all. (troll face)】
【Alright, alright—don’t play this joke in chat too long or Miss Pink Elf’s mods will throw you out.】
【Valid point.】
At that moment, Mei finished examining the distortion.
A special portal opened before them.
She naturally moved the topic along.
Now wasn’t the time to explain the intricacies of the Elysian Realm to Kiana.
Bronya picked up the thread:
“Yes. Like with the Eye of the Abyss—
this really is a rift connecting to another world bubble.”
“And… it also shows signs of artificial interference?”
Mei nodded.
“Should we go check it out right now?”
Kiana put her hands on her hips, brimming with energy.
“There’s no other choice—”
Mei was steady as always.
“But compared to before, we must be even more cautious now.”
This Mei…
was completely different from the one from their early days together.
Her leadership had soared.
Mei-senpai, truly.
Bronya glanced over, blinking thoughtfully:
“Indeed.
There may be unpredictable variables waiting for us in the world beyond.”
“But…”
“But when it comes to [facing unknown worlds]…
we do have plenty of experience, don’t we?”
True enough—
They’d bathed in the Sea of Quanta,
caught cats in the Elysian Realm,
and even dueled with the pseudo-god Otto himself.
The main trio were true veterans.
Before players could even type out their jokes,
Kiana quietly stepped into the center,
standing between Mei and Bronya.
Mei and Bronya took their positions seriously.
The in-game frame locked in—
A perfect main trio formation, just like the launch promo art.
With the rising background music—
The feeling hit instantly.
“This is…”
“It’s just like that Honkai Impact 3rd promo image from launch.”
For Elysia, a day-one player,
waves of emotion stirred unexpectedly.
Hard to describe—
but deeply moving.
【Launch-day lineup!!】
【awsl, it’s been so long since we’ve seen the trio together.】
【Begun with me… ended with me.】
【Screenshot! Quick, take the screenshot!】
The stream chat exploded.
But it wasn’t over yet.
The next scene stoked the fire even more.
Kiana stepped forward toward the gate.
Mei silently followed behind, her thoughts racing.
“An unfamiliar world…”
Because of the [method] she had just used,
Mei had a vague premonition about the [world] beyond the gate.
——Perhaps this day’s [reunions]…
were far from over.
【Wait… more reunions to come??? Who else?!】
【Don’t tell me… is it Elysia?! I’m getting excited!】
【No way—it must be that Herrscher ‘lady’ who’s been watching silently.】
【OOHHH!!!】
……
After the trio entered the rift,
the screen darkened.
We now turn back the clock a bit—
to before their meeting…
Inside the world bubble beyond the portal—
Void. Silence. Surreal.
Chilling yet breathtaking.
And unexpectedly…
For the visitor who arrived early—thanks to her [unique trait]—
why was everything completely still?
“Hah… finally out of that nightmare zone.”
Please welcome—
our great Herrscher of Sentience, Senti! (applause)
The moment she appeared,
players burst with excitement:
【EVERYONE STAND UP!】
【It’s really Senti! I haven’t seen her in TEN chapters—I missed her so much!】
【The mood instantly brightened.】
【That unlucky girl who had her account hijacked by her mom finally remembered her password!】
The story resumed.
Senti muttered to herself:
“Sea of Quanta… why did I suddenly get dumped in that place?”
“And…”
Even as the Herrscher of Sentience,
now reduced to pure consciousness,
she couldn’t clench a fist—
couldn’t even confirm the sensation of power leaving her body.
Still, her Herrscher abilities were clearly diminished—
down to about 30%.
More importantly—
a strange resistance when she tried to use her powers told her:
someone had tampered with her mental space.
Which should be impossible.
Who could possibly manipulate the consciousness of the Herrscher of Sentience?
Senti: “Hmph, whatever.
If someone wants to go that hard,
they better not go overboard.”
Obviously—
what bothered her more than the loss of power
was the idea that someone might’ve gotten hurt.
But of course—she’d never say that aloud.
She’s the kind who’ll deny it all day,
but still be the first to charge in.
“Forget it.
She’s she, and I’m me.
I should focus on figuring out what happened to me first.”
She scanned her surroundings.
Took a deep breath.
“No matter what—this is a real universe.
Just what kind of person could pull off something this absurd?”
And then players noticed—
the backdrop had changed.
The Earth no longer bore the cryptic markings of the Stigma Plan.
It looked… normal.
Wait.
Oh—this isn’t the proper world.
It’s the Moon within a world bubble.
miHoYo really did put thought into the CG art.
Players slowly realized it—
and the initial surprise faded.
But then Senti dropped another bombshell:
She’d entered this world by following a mysterious pull—
just like Mei would soon do.
Thanks to having Fu Hua’s full memories,
she suspected this world bubble was set…
…50,000 years ago.
【50,000 years?!】
Keyword detected.
ALERT.
【The last time we saw 50,000 years ago… they all got wiped out.】
【Is this going to be sad?】
【Let me panic first, thanks.】
【Don’t lose your head! Senti is here—Honkai’s joy-bringer! With her, no one dies!】
But despite everyone’s confidence—
Senti wasn’t doing well.
She assessed herself.
Only 30% of her power remained.
And worse—
an obvious external limitation
had been embedded in her mental domain.
Which shouldn’t be possible—
but was.
To find answers,
Senti sought out other consciousnesses in the world bubble—
but every mind she touched was void.
Not unconscious—
but trapped in immobile bodies,
left in isolation until their minds eroded to nothing,
leaving only one final emotion behind.
A terrible fate.
Yet still not the most shocking thing to Senti.
“He…
Even after that kind of suffering—
the last emotion I felt from him was… hope?”
“How?
Is he insane?
What gave him that kind of resolve?”
“Or…
was he never an ordinary person to begin with?
Did he hear the [Divine Call]…
or worse—did he endure [Discipline]?”
【“Endured” Discipline—LOL】
【She means Aponia. She got Disciplined.】
【With Fu Hua’s memories, Senti might know more about the Flame-Chasers than even the Class Monitor.】
While some players were laughing, others grew serious:
【Now I really want to know what’s in this world bubble.】
【Could it be a Flame-Chaser?】
【…Is it Aponia?】
【Or someone who gave hope even in despair… could it be Elysia?】
“Hmm…”
Elysia knew it wasn’t her.
But even she wasn’t sure who was inside this world bubble.
“Hard to say.”
“If it’s hard to guess, then let’s go find out.”
Hokuto chimed in.
“This segment’s not long anyway.”
“Mm.”
Elysia nodded and took his advice.
Indeed, as Hokuto said,
this section wasn’t long.
Controlling Senti on a hoverboard across the Moon base,
she followed mission markers to the end.
Then—a familiar figure came into view.
Wait, her?
It’s really her??
The entire chat shared the same stunned reaction.
【Mei???】
【No way—it’s her?!】
【I thought she was destined to be background forever.】
But while players were surprised,
Senti looked… disappointed.
“That’s it? A [normal person]?”
Players:
A… normal person?!
They were floored.
Senti, how dare you say that??
If she turned and fled right then, they’d understand.
But no—
Senti not only grumbled behind Mei’s back—
she actually approached her.
Ready to stand up for all those frozen people.
Brave.
Very brave.
Players couldn’t help but applaud Senti.
And eagerly await what would happen next.
After all…
she was about to face—
The one who performed the first fusion surgery.
Built Divine Keys.
Drafted salvation plans.
Led the Flame-Chasers.
And trained the strongest warrior in history—Kevin.
A person whose titles alone could kill.
So what would happen?
Curious~~
As the Herrscher of Sentience approached,
one crucial detail escaped her.
Though evidence was limited,
there seemed to be a pattern—
people from that era all had absolute trust in this woman.
And Hua had witnessed it herself.
So, the moment Senti saw the woman’s face—
It was already too late.
“You?!”
【I thought Senti would actually sass her… turns out she didn’t recognize her.】
【Hahaha—Senti remains Honkai’s eternal joy-giver.】
【A round of thanks for our beloved Herrscher of Sentience!】
【Long live the Herrscher of Sentience!】*n
【I was healing fine after getting my wisdom teeth stitched, but this scene made me laugh so hard my stitches nearly burst.】
【That was a tragic story… LOL. But I won’t pretend anymore. Everyone in this chat is a clown—just like Senti. (removes mask)】
【Who said they’re just like her?】
