Chapter 191

"Whether or not she ends up doing as May predicted, my choice will not change."

"By the way, I've given them all the engravings. I hope Sakura understands."

Elysia turned around and looked into the distance again.

But the moment she turned her head, Kevin clearly saw a subtle change in her eyes.

That was an absolute determination that had never been seen before.

"Kevin."

"What, Elysia?"

"All the good things have been passed down."

"Um."

"So many Herrscher, they're all so cute~?"

6 Just do it according to your wishes "..."

After a brief silence, another person arrived: Aponia.

"Even Aponia is here, what's going on today?"

"Eden said she's prepared a little gift for you, and she'll show it to you when you get back," Aponia said softly. "Also, Elysia, what do you think of them?"

She knew that Aponia was referring to the Herrscher of the Current Civilization.

"So many lovely girls, that's enough to change everything!?"

"Oh, if Sakura clashes with them, which side do you think will make the better change?"

Upon hearing this, Elysia puffed out her cheeks. "Aponia, why are you suddenly talking like her?"

"Just out of curiosity."

"Hmm..." Elysia for a moment, then said, "Anyway, they're all heading in the same direction. I believe the lovely girl will be the one to win in the end!"

It sounds like cheating.

But Aponia and Kevin understood what she meant.

The two silently left, leaving Elysia to continue sitting there alone in a daze.

After a long while, the Human Herrscher stood up and looked at the virtual sunset, which was now only half visible.

"Thank you, Kiana," she murmured to herself, her voice serene. "In my most desperate moment, Mei told me the truth—that you coming into my life is my greatest fortune."

"It was supposed to be a high-stakes gamble with no certainty, but after meeting you, I realized that it was my destined future!"

"There's no need to demand too much; my life is already perfect..."

"Uh, wouldn't saying that be too dismissive of the other girls?"

"Bronya doesn't talk much, but she's actually a very warm-hearted child; Mei also looks cold, but she's actually the gentlest of them all."

"I've heard there are still some Herrscher I haven't met yet, but I guess I'll have the chance in the future."

"Sigh, Fu Yan, although that was too much for you... if it were possible, I really wish we could reach the future that Mei prophesied..."

As she muttered to herself, a look of dejection appeared on Elysia's face.

Whether he sacrifices himself or not, his true self can never meet Kiana and the others; only the Chrono-Sanctum can make that possible.

"Is this why you asked Vill-V to design Elysian Realm?"

At that moment, Elysia smiled again, "I didn't expect you to know me so well. Haha, is this what you like to say, 'The biggest trump card in fate's hands is emotion'?"

"Huh? Uh... why is someone else here again—wait, Hua?"

Upon hearing this, the Herrscher of Knowledge, who had just teleported in front of Elysia, immediately raised her eyebrows.

At this moment, the Herrscher of Knowledge has no physical form, but the Chrono-Sanctum provides her with a stage to fully express herself, allowing her to thrive.

"An old relic, huh? Fine, I'll call her over right now, you wait!"

"Hey, hey, hey," Elysia quickly grabbed the other person and said in a coaxing tone, "I was just spacing out, but Xiaoshi is such a nice person, she'll definitely forgive me!"

Those Herrscher of Knowledge stood still.

With a sour face, she said, "Stop with the nonsense and get down to business—look, this guy says he wants to see you, talk to him about it."

As she spoke, she took out a sealed feather and then broke the seal.

Suddenly, a brand new Remembrance appeared in front of Elysia.

White hair, golden eyes.

"Uh... could it be?"

"You can call me Sirin."

"Oh!" Elysia exclaimed in realization.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Sirin said with considerable dissatisfaction, "Was it that Kiana who was talking about me in front of you? I knew it... never mind."

"No, that's not right. Even now, Kiana still believes that you and she are one. She has to take full responsibility for everything you've done."

"... Hmph, naive Kiana!"

Sirin felt frustrated for a moment, then her expression softened.

"I came here actually to... to..."

"No rush, no rush, we can talk slowly, we have plenty of time."

Seeing that the two had started talking, the Herrscher of Knowledge casually said, "Then I'll go find some old antiques from my younger days. You two can continue your conversation."

After saying that, she left the amusement park and went into the lobby.

With no one around, the Herrscher of Knowledge scoffed and said disdainfully, "Pretentious!"

Tap tap tap...

The footsteps were steady, which allowed her to identify the person almost immediately upon hearing them.

"So you're here. Well, I have something to tell you."

"What's going on?"

Where is the real you now?

"That's not something you should know. You're not qualified to participate in that plan right now," Kevin said calmly, crossing his arms.

"Hey, stop being so serious. What I want to talk about is that woman," the Herrscher of Knowledge said urgently. "I clearly saw her before, right there in the Dominion Theater, but both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy say I was mistaken!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kevin's expression immediately changed.

"But I clearly feel that the strange soul fluctuation is her!" The Herrscher of Knowledge was puzzled.

"So tell me where you are."

"I suspect she's still hiding it. If we don't tell her how serious things are, Mei's plans will probably fall through in this waiting."

This time, Kevin thought about it very seriously.

Finally, he asked, "Among the people who just came to the Elysian Realm, was there anything unusual about them?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge shook his head. "I can be sure that it is not true. I even secretly investigated the only person I suspected, but I still found nothing."

"..."

Volume 1: Chapter 229: It's a pity the Snakey doesn't use the Void Archive

Outside the World Serpent.

Sakura sheathed her sword, her expression remaining calm.

She looked at the two sisters and slowly shook her head. "With your current strength, you are not qualified to participate in that plan."

"No, you only managed a draw with us just now," Kiana said.

Durandal frowned, recalling the exchange just now.

Bai Yan had been watching for a long time, also shook his head.

The wilderness before us was riddled with craters, worse than the surface of the moon.

Just as Kiana said, the battle just now ended in a draw.

But the premise is that if the fighting continues, Sakura is still willing to fight in that way.

Bai Yan kindly offered a reminder:

"Miss Kiana, you've used up almost all your powers just now; and Bianca has been switching between different armors to attack. But you might have a misunderstanding about Miss Sakura—she also has special moves, not just various forms of basic attacks."

No one stopped Bai Yan from speaking.

Even in the eyes of the World Serpent, Sakura would still be more than capable of facing everyone in the Current Civilization at the same time.

"What special move?" Durandal asked.

"It's no use saying anything. With her current strength, if she uses that move, the match is over."

"You know quite a lot, kid," Mobius said meaningfully.

"I'm quite curious about what kind of modifications she underwent. This level of power is already comparable to Kevin's [Deliverance] state. And she seems to have other forms as well?"

"Yes, there are indeed more, but neither Sakura herself nor her enemies want to see that special form..."

Noticing Mobius's unusual gaze, Bai Yan wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

It wasn't that he was afraid of her, but rather that he felt it was necessary to consider Sakura's feelings.

At that moment, Raiden Mei stepped forward.

The Herrscher Armor appeared instantly, crackling with lightning and sparks.

"I'm more curious about what exactly that form you guys are so reluctant to even mention."

"Ha, overestimating yourself. If even those two couldn't handle it, you're even less capable."

Then Bronya stepped forward as well.

Bronya was also very curious.

Seele looked at her with some concern, but in the end she simply gripped her weapon and stood beside her.

Then, Bai Yan noticed that the two Valkyrie beside him also stepped forward and stood on either side of Durandal, like guards.

Seeing this, Theresa waved her hand without saying a word, causing the Divine Key to transform into its battle form. Then, she picked up Judah and ran quickly to Kiana's side.

Kiana, your period is with you!

Upon hearing this, Kiana hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze from Theresa to Durandal.

Kiana nodded sharply only after receiving a firm and affirmative look from the other party.

"Um!"

Himeko smiled upon seeing this and then went to Theresa's side.

Bai Yan felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the people stepping forward one by one.

Just then Misterin whispered in my ear, "Should I go up too? Hmm, maybe stand over there with Kiana and the others?"

"You can open a separate window."

"Why?"

"You are of a higher generation, but you are not familiar with Bishop Theresa, so it is more reasonable to give her a separate talk."

"Oh!" Misterin understood Bai Yan's meaning upon hearing this and suddenly realized.

Then she ran to the corner between the two groups of people, took her weapon, and went into battle ready.

Mobius chuckled, "Hey, aren't you going to go?"

"Didn't I say? I'm just a civil servant, I don't have that kind of exaggerated power."

"Besides, I've always been in logistics and intelligence positions at Schicksal; there's no such thing as going to the front lines in combat."

"I see," Mobius nodded. "They're the ones who collect the corpses."
