Elysia looked forward to MiHoYo's future Honkai Impact 3rd fan content.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten the main storyline either.
After learning the reason for Su's deep trust in her, Hua didn't get angry—instead, she expressed willingness to cooperate with Su in "convincing" Kalpas.
But what surprised everyone was that when they found Kalpas, there were no flames engulfing the scene as expected, nor did deafening roars erupt.
In front of them, the wild and unrestrained warrior simply stood there in silence.
But as soon as he saw Su, Kalpas shattered the stillness around him.
"You finally came? What, didn't have the guts to face me directly?"
Faced with Kalpas's provocation, Su remained calm: "Because it wasn't necessary. Regardless of the past, we're glad to see you safe and—more importantly—not escalating the conflict further."
Kalpas's tone grew even harsher at that: "You want to say… 'for the greater good,' right?"
"Tch."
"Don't use that phrase on me. It's disgusting."
There's no denying it—whenever Su and Kalpas conversed, it always gave off a uniquely strange vibe.
Some players were reminded of the previous logs about Sakura.
Sakura, Su, and Kalpas had once operated as a three-person team, but when the mission target appeared...
Su tried to talk their target down, Kalpas screamed death threats, and poor Sakura had to complete the mission all on her own.
Then and now—it felt exactly the same.
Seeing Kalpas's unyielding attitude, Su knew that their past "friendship"—such as forcibly controlling Kalpas's body during his rampages—had left a lasting grudge.
So he handed the lead over to Hua.
Straightforward as ever, Hua didn't refuse and stepped forward to share her speculation on Sakura's current condition.
"In the real world, abilities related to space seem to behave differently inside the Realm."
"Sakura wields a sword technique that can freeze space—we've all seen it firsthand."
"If Sakura's data isn't 'gone' but merely 'abnormal'... then perhaps the anomaly lies not in her, but in the 'space' affected by that sword technique."
Hua's analysis was logical and well-reasoned. It succeeded in swaying Kalpas.
He relaxed slightly and said that on the night in question, he had received a distress signal from Sakura, but when he arrived at the location, he only found a "Moth Mask" stained with blood.
"Tell me… whose blood was on that mask?"
Kalpas stared at Su. He knew Su had the ability to find out.
The story had clearly reached a crucial turning point—a murder investigation?
Everyone straightened up and focused with 1000% intensity, afraid to miss a single line.
But then…
Su's answer stunned everyone.
"...It was Elysia's."
Upon hearing the name Su uttered, every player currently experiencing the story froze instantly—their heartbeat skipped a beat.
Like receiving a death sentence.
[What the hell???]
[Did Sakura really attack Elysia?]
[Just because Elysia's blood was on the mask doesn't mean Sakura attacked her—maybe Elysia attacked Sakura, or maybe they were attacked together.]
[Elysia isn't dead!] *n
[Honestly not surprised anymore reading these barrage comments.]
[No but seriously, Kalpas wanted to prove Sakura's innocence, and now this—he's going to explode.]
...
Players knew Kalpas well.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
Kalpas erupted into maniacal laughter the moment he heard Su's answer.
As the Elysian Realm's only officially certified rage machine, he snapped the moment he realized—"the clown… was me all along."
And fighting Kalpas, even if it didn't mean instant deletion, would at least tear off several layers of skin.
Mobius, for instance, could probably write a dissertation titled Shedding and Shedding Again… on the subject.
So, faced with a Kalpas overflowing with fury, Su had no choice but to use his trump card—
[Enlightened Eye Awakens].
However—
Just when players thought this would be a standard "Kalpas snaps and Su uses his ultimate to subdue him" scene…
The plot twisted dramatically.
What followed was an elite-level, high-IQ play.
These Flame-Chasers in the Realm—each one of them is something else.
Kalpas's fit of rage?
It was all a bluff. His goal wasn't to obliterate Su and Hua—it was to bait out Su's ultimate.
And then, using Su's awakened power, he tore through the Elysian Realm.
"It didn't tear the ground... but the Realm's very space itself…?"
"Kalpas, you…"
Kalpas gave a cold snort: "This is the last time. And you… will no longer have a chance to stop me."
Leaving behind a massive, unhealable rift, the man turned and left.
His thoughts were simple: since the true culprit hides so well—
Then he'd just wreck the Realm they're hiding in.
Let's see who panics first.
[Didn't expect that, huh? This was my goal all along—obliterate the Elysian Realm.]
[Who protects the Elysian Realm? (points at Kalpas tearing it down)]
[This Kalpas move blew my mind—I didn't see it coming at all.]
[Truly underrated. Kalpas MVP!! (screaming)]
In the story—
Hua was utterly stunned by Kalpas's actions.
"This… this was something Kalpas could plan?"
A perfect line for commentary—many players were thinking the exact same thing.
Su answered: "As you heard just now, Kalpas is not the type to devise complex schemes. His attempts to deceive us were quite simple."
"Feigning anger—that's actually a tactic Aponia frequently uses."
So then… how much exactly has Aponia taught Kalpas?
"Whether it was his sudden aggression, or the provocative words during the fight—in hindsight, it all feels too forced. But because it was Kalpas… we didn't question it."
[True. Who would've thought the eternally furious Kalpas would use a 'fake anger tactic'?]
[As someone who mains Kalpas, this scene was like reading a power fantasy. So satisfying!]
[Kalpas, my superman!!]
This twist was indeed brilliant. It completely blew the players away.
The prior plotlines—like Kosma and Griseo discussing "heroes," or Pardofelis's heartbreaking monologue—were a little heavy.
But now, they finally felt totally hyped again.
Hell yeah!
Games are meant to be played with a smile!
