You are absolutely right and she cries even more in the current chapter where Mei sees Elysia again and the 13 Flame Chasers give her their blessing to be the new Herrscher of Origin

[@jericomalacas7109]

What happened: "With the assist of Pardofelis by operating the 2nd Divine Key, Kevin delivered the needed devastating attack to weaken the Herrscher of Corruption. The said attack is powered by Su's data." How Mihoyo portrayed it in this video: "GO ! Pardofelis, I choose you!" "Pardofelis used Self-destruct" "Pardofelis fainted"

[@Ahriela]

@@ultimatejr08x32 The 12th was Herrscher of Corruption, who I believe was sealed away. Herrscher of the End appeared a while after that, but the Flame-Chasers couldn't defeat her. Nobody is strong enough to defeat her as of right now. It's why Kevin, Fu Hua and Su had to implement Project Ember.

[@Jimbaraya]

3:20 For me, the moment that got me the most was Pardofellis guiding Kevin's last attack on HoC by keeping the portal open, while knowing she'd also be obliterated by the blast. The whole monologue of her wanting to run away, why she should be alive, the trust Su and Kevin had in her without even seeing her there, and her finally screaming out "I am a Flame-Chaser!" at the end, really hit me. Best shopkeeping cat girl ever 😭 (But honestly, this whole HoC ER arc of how each of the 13 went down swinging could have been a whole anime series by itself)

[@MoskusMoskiferus1611]

I mean, HI3 were inspired by GGZ and NEG

[@uckienle9119]

Yes. Because Hoyo devs are all Eva fan so sometimes you can see some Evagelion reference examples: When Mobius death look just like the last scene in Evagelion: The end of Evagelion or Hoyos had collabed with Eva before,....

[@galaxycrystal2651]

0:38 This part alone tells a lot of what actually happened, Su and Aponia not on the moon and stay on Earth as Psychic MANTIS. Griseo supposed to board ARK at this point. Sakura & Elysia no longer there. Only 4 of them returned, Eden decided to end her life with the Civilization while Mobius may do the same.

[@lucamine952]

and in the last frames you can see who died there too

[@UrfTheHashishin]

Mihoyo's attention to detail is amazing. In the Second Eruption manga, they showed the exact same scene, but only revealed Kevin and Hua (the rest of the flamechasers weren't designed yet so they only appeared as shadowy figures). In the manga, they showed Hua standing to Kevin's right just like here.

[@iamkallenkaslana6033]

[@Calvin_M.]

"So don't forget out story", yeah... I don't think after all crazy things you did out there we will ever forget you😅 That was such a nice arc honestly, and unlike many who complained flame-chasers are boring, I always knew this will be another masterpiece of a story from honkai!

[@piplupempoleon4225]

The story could be finished much earlier, if so called smart Mobius notice corruption earlier, klein and aponiaalready sense something wrong , but uh refrain to investigate further

[@ElemXCR]

I wonder if Mei's experiences and memories of the flame-chasers during the Elysian Realm arc will birth a new combined herrscher with her power of thunder. Like Fire tuna's flamescion variant of the herrscher, which is her power of void combined with fire and the other two gemstones? Feel like the whole arc was just more world building for answering some of Mei's questions when she first arrived. Introduction of another "type" of herrscher that isn't the norm. And the ending that Mei deserved after meeting with real world Kevin.

[@tomhannie]

Yeah, that's what i thought about a new transformation of Mei's power in the future!

[@shabriashshiddieqy7873]

Bro you are right

[@DrYesterday]

what got me in the end was Kevin standing right outside the Elysian realm with Shamash in hand as the final failsafe, and when Mei saw him, she realized that the only reason he had recruited a herrscher was so that he could show them to Elysia.

[@Uldan1988]

Flame- chasers story is so well written full emotion, care and love no wonder it makes u cry when it ends, but i would definitely like to see more ER story chapters inside of ER

[@piplupempoleon4225]

It's terajerker tactic, unlike himeko constant flashback, this whole corruption thingy could be detected much earlier, but to be fair 13 flamechasers is better sacrifice than unleashing 12th herrscher in real life 😂

[@lukarisUrufi]

Now I wish Mihoyo to sell a book about the Flame-Chaser...

[@shadowgirlm6446]

Omg, I would buy that in a heartbeat

[@Sskysnake]

To be honest, the flame chasers are the best group on honkai. And this arc ended as it was supposed to, with an heroic sacrifice and good memories

[@bossymanny9425]

This looks so wholesome and cute, so sad that these characters were with us for only a short time.

[@drpulcinella1870]

They were humanity's champion's. With Elysia's celestial power cradling all mankind to this day. Such a great story. Also Mei knows she needs to come up with something because she knows the truth about the 13th and with the HoC of the current era put down that End is near.

[@Matt-gd4qz]

Thank you for this wonderful story Mihoyo... I will nvr forget it

[@ntrspecialist1304]

This is why i strongly admired how this arc was severely influenced by FIRE MOTH DLC in GGZ. Even some of visuals here are reminiscence of GGZ's visual and UI. Sasuga Honkai devs, super based. I might already said it on survey but i will say it again. As a veteran captain who's been in Honkai series for 9 years, for someone who have seen Honkai from beginning until now. I thank you for creating FIRE MOTH DLC. I already said this, 6 years ago because this is a peak Honkai optimism masterpiece. And now. I thank you for creating Elysium Everlasting. The successor of Fire MOTH DLC's lessons and moral values. Elysium Fields of Greek mythology are place where nameless heroes are going to rest and never to pick swords again. But even if that's the case, they still want to leave a legacy and wanting a remembrance to prove that they existed and hoped that their beliefs for the beautiful world will be carried through generations. If you want something that will make you agree that humans are miserable shits yet still believe that even every if that's the case, the good deeds of humans can't be invalidated and it will always sprout a hope that will spread that kindness to others. Honkai is your way go.

[@ntrspecialist1304]

The line "this arc will always be forever in my, and always have a special place in my heart." Comments here is literally why this arc just like Fire MOTH DLC cannot be compared to main story of both 2 games. Because they are special. Kyuushou as the Savior of Light And Elysia as the Origin and Humanity

[@ntrspecialist1304]

They bought a lot of time to prepare for the Honkai Impact endgame. They have ER for 1 year and deliverwd an amazing story. Now. It's time to face the End Game. Just like Reset 14 in GGZ. United Will and the pitiful Cosmic Scale Herrscher of The End vs. The whole ingenuity of humanity as one without a chance of resetting anymore. This time... It's the Final Gambit of humanity's last chance. To face THE END. SU bought a huge time, and just as promised, Project STIGMA was executed at last when all Project was done. This time. Cold Failed Hero against the Warm Heroine.

[@piplupempoleon4225]

​@@ntrspecialist1304nah, this chapter bullshit could end much earlier if klein, Mobius, aponia detect corruption earlier, si ce they already notice something wrong since mei visit, but they mistook it for her thunder power, but to be fair 13 flamechasers is cheap or better sacrifice instead of unleashing 12th herrscher in real life

2:34 Mei : Why won't you die?! HoC : Data space girl. It's omniscience in response to plot 4:20 HoC : It's over! I have the higher ground! Elysia HoHE : Not anymore! Good bye Flame Chaser! Good bye Elysia!! I hope one day, the day will come for us to meet again. Somewhere, someplace, sometime...

This is, for me, Honkai’s writing at peak: to introduce so many characters characters whom you know nothing about and make them just as interesting and lovable as the main cast, in just a short amount of time. Their story has ended but it will surely affect the chapters ahead in some way.

[@ntrspecialist1304]

I agree, it's the succesor of FIRE MOTH DLC anyway. The first peak Honkai writing in terms of being a fable and optimism. Fire MOTH DLC and Elysium Everlasting are special and cannot be compared.

Yeah the more time goes on the more it's looking like that rematch between Kiana and Mei will be with all those cores inside Kiana turning her into the End. And Mei fighting against her. There's dialogue in that last scene in the recent chapter with the narrator where it says that Mei now knowing that herrsicher 13 doesn't really exist and that the current era 12th just went down she knows what's coming next and needs to act fast
