Honkai Impact 3rd: Elysian Realm, Scales of the Snake's Shed Skin

Elysian Realm: Scales Shed by the Serpent

When Raiden Mei's consciousness sank into darkness, it was the most obsessive "serpent" among the Flame-Chasers that took possession of her body.

Beneath the dome of the Elysian Realm, Mobius put on a mask that did not belong to her. She imitated the Herrscher of Thunder's icy demeanor and reined in her crimson edge, trying to hide the truth beneath the gaze of these "memory" Flame-Chasers. After all, no one knew better than she did what sharp edges lay beneath the eyes of these seemingly gentle heroes of the Previous Era.

Elysia's pink smile always carried a hint of probing. Hua's Fenghuang Down could see through the folds of consciousness. Kalpas's blood scythe was always aimed at the "imposter's" throat, while the "Mobius" who should have been her rival appeared and disappeared in the shadows of the Realm.

She thought her disguise was flawless, unaware that every deliberate show of distance and every tremor when a Flame-Chaser touched her was quietly tearing her mask apart. As fragments of Raiden Mei's memories collided again and again with Mobius's consciousness, and her obsession with "escaping" clashed with the unspoken understanding among the Flame-Chasers, this game of make-believe, played in the name of "survival," had already strayed from its original course.

"Who are you, really?"

Faced with this question, violet lightning and crimson silently intertwined in the pupils of the person in the mirror.

This is a contest between disguise and honesty, a struggle between consciousness and memory, and a journey in which two souls are forced to seek their "selves" under the rules of the Elysian Realm. After all, the pain of a serpent shedding its old scales often conceals the possibility of new life.
