My Game Studio is Full of Valkyries?!

Some viewers analyzed the term "Flame-Chasers," and their reasoning was solid and convincing.

Others began speculating about future plot developments.

[I can already smell the knives.]

[Don't scare yourselves. All the Flame-Chasers are already gone. What kind of knives can the dead throw?]

Everyone had their own opinions.

As for what would really happen—they continued watching the story unfold.

Mei found Elysia and began questioning her with intel just gathered:

[Mobius is one of the MANTIS warriors.]

[Mobius created the MANTIS warriors.]

[Your relationship with Mobius isn't good.]

After three rounds of Q&A, Elysia teased Mei, saying that compared to the Herrscher of Thunder, she was more suited to be the Herrscher of Sentience.

The audience burst into laughter—not just because the developers were clearly referencing memes, but also because Elysia had said the exact same line during a past livestream.

[See? I told you the Elysia in-game and the fairy lady IRL are exactly the same!]

In the story, Elysia guided Mei toward Mobius's location, enduring various trials along the way.

Until the end—

Elysia said, "These are all the Signet. Ready? Next up… is the final [Trial]."

She stepped through the door first. Mei followed closely behind.

Beyond the door, Elysia was already standing atop a platform, weapon in hand.

The faction that had just started to believe in the fairy froze on the spot.

Every time players started leaning toward trusting Elysia, she would always do something enigmatic again—something that made them question what she might be hiding.

Like this seemingly out-of-nowhere battle.

Combat began.

Naturally, the player was in control.

Kiana wasn't nervous at all. On the contrary, she cracked her knuckles with full confidence.

After collecting so many Signet, she felt unbeatable now.

"In a way, this is kind of like a date."

Elysia said something cryptic—and then fired an arrow.

Caught off guard, Kiana took a direct hit. Her HP bar dropped by one-third.

She jolted. Wasn't that damage a bit absurd?

Kiana quickly dodged, but Elysia's attack rate was high, her damage was absurd, and her HP bar? A whopping twenty-five bars.

Was this even a boss fight meant for humans?

[What pink fairy? Might as well rename her Pink f... Tank.]

After getting blown up yet again by Elysia, a certain Mobius sent a message in the chat, deeply doubting her life choices.

Elysia, previously engrossed in watching Kiana's gameplay, suddenly felt a chill. She glanced at the chat suspiciously—but Mobius's message had already scrolled past.

She noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

Naturally, she had no idea she'd soon gain a strange nickname in secret.

"Must've been my imagination."

Elysia muttered as she turned her gaze back.

After a few failed attempts, Kiana finally learned Elysia's attack patterns and managed to win on the fifth try.

The cutscene resumed.

Elysia waved in surrender and opened the door leading to Mobius's location.

However, Mei didn't leave immediately. She asked Elysia about the purpose of the Elysian Realm.

Elysia gave a long response.

To her, the Elysian Realm was the story the Thirteen Flame-Chasers left behind.

And from those stories, the ones who came later could understand, realize, and press forward bravely.

That is the purpose of the Elysian Realm.

"In short, Mei, I have high hopes for you. After all—you and I are both cute, kind, pure, strong, and beautiful girls."

"...Thanks." Mei smiled wryly. "It's the first time I've heard you talk this much."

"Aha~ Actually, I was pretty nervous. I was afraid I wouldn't say it right."

"Nervous? I couldn't tell at all. At the very least, now I understand why you're the Second, the other leader of the Flame-Chasers. You really do have the bearing and qualifications."

Elysia accepted the compliment without hesitation.

"Thanks. I think so too."

That caught Mei off guard—and stunned the players as well.

Especially the real-life "Flame-Chasers" playing the game. They couldn't help but sigh:

The writer really nailed the character. This is exactly how she is.

It's worth mentioning that none of them sided with the theory that "Elysia might be shady in-game."

In the end, Elysia gave Mei a pink crystal flower.

After receiving it, Mei set off again.

She stepped through the door and entered a deeper shadow—onto a completely unfamiliar platform.

Mei looked around at the totally different environment.

"A rare guest, aren't you~~"

"Who's there?"

"Herrscher onee-chan, let's do something fun together!"

Mei quickly pinpointed the direction of the voice.

She looked up—and was shocked.

The platform she stood on… was being held like a toy in the hands of a green-haired woman.

Signet-maniacs immediately recognized the sign.

Meanwhile, the pair watching the stream—Mobius and her assistant—were equally stunned.

"Why does this Mobius look so… childlike?"

"And that tone of voice…"

It wasn't just the infamous cutesy voice. It was—

"Big sister? Her?"

Is that really something Mobius would say?

"Are we hallucinating from playing too much Honkai Impact 3rd?" the doctor asked with a serious face.

Her assistant hesitated. "Is that really possible?"

"Well... technically, no, it's not realistic."

Even as she spoke, the doctor furrowed her brow.

"So this is... the in-game Mobius?"

She stared silently at the screen. It might just be a game, but she couldn't accept that this was Mobius.

In-game Mei felt the same way—Mobius wasn't at all what she expected.

She immediately told Mobius coldly to stop her antics.

Mobius wasn't offended. Instead, she responded with ominous words:

"If everyone warned you to be wary of me, then why did you come here? Why are you… speaking to me so openly, so defenselessly?"

Mei suddenly realized something—but it was too late.

Mobius's sultry voice slipped into her mind.

"Come closer. Just a bit more… It's right there… the Signet of Infinity… I'll give it to you. Just take one step forward. Just one step…"

In the moment she lost consciousness, Mei saw only Mobius's snake eyes.

The plot took a sudden twist.

The doctor watching loosened her frown.

That's right. This was Mobius: tempting, dangerous, drawing you in unaware.

Not that green tea act earlier.

...

When Mei woke again, she was back in the hall.

Before she could piece together what happened, Mobius reappeared.

Naturally, Mei, having been tricked, wasn't happy to see her.

Just as the standoff continued, Elysia popped up at the perfect time.

To the players' surprise—Mobius seemed somewhat powerless against Elysia.

Flustered, she snapped:

"Shut up. If I were you, I wouldn't be flaunting myself everywhere like this… traitor."

Though Elysia playfully brushed it off, that one word—"traitor"—hit the players hard.

[Is this confirmation that Elysia's shady?]

[Isn't Mobius a villain? Why trust her?]

[Can't handle this. Elysian Realm is full of riddle people. Kevin Grandpa x13 is too much.]

[Let me guess—based on past records:

After defeating the Herrscher of Binding, Elysia and Kevin had a falling out.

So maybe Elysia did something to Kevin, hence being called a traitor.]

[Or how about this: Judas was Jesus's 13th disciple. Judas betrayed Jesus.

So "13th Herrscher" = the one who will betray Honkai.

And since Elysia is called a traitor, she must be the 13th Herrscher.

Therefore, 'traitor' is actually… a term of endearment.]

[Makes sense. Sounds convincing. (sarcasm)]

[Here come the Honkai scholars again, saying things I don't understand.]

...

The viewers were heated in discussion.

Kiana, meanwhile, continued exploring the Elysian Realm, asking Elysia questions on the way.

"Some viewers say Elysia is a Herrscher. Elysia, what do you think?"

"Elysia probably is a Herrscher," Elysia replied with certainty.

Kiana stopped in surprise. "Why?"

"Because… I told Mr. Otto, I wanted to become a Herrscher~~"

That thought—wanting to become a Herrscher in Honkai Impact 3rd—came to Elysia long ago.

Sometimes, it was because she thought Kiana's Herrscher forms were so strong and pretty. She wanted that too—like during the Void Drifter arc.

Sometimes, she thought, since it was always the Herrschers suffering in the story, if she became one, maybe others wouldn't have to—like in Lament of the Fallen.

Sometimes...

Hehe~~ she just wanted Elysia to have more outfits in Honkai Impact 3rd~♪

A cute girl like her should show everyone more of her beauty!

"That's… not up to you, Elysia. Boss has his own ideas about the plot."

"I gave Mr. Otto some benefits. I'm sure he agreed."
