However, despite her verbal refusal, her body seemed to have its own thoughts.

"Alright... alright, since only I can do it..."

For a long time, the girl had been unable to forget that feeling, that feeling of standing in front of her companion's grave, feeling powerless, and also feeling a sense of self-pity. And this feeling resurfaced in her heart once again.

And it compels her to keep moving toward the coordinates.

"Just this once, the last time!"

"Boss Kevin, please don't move too fast..."

Chapter 105 Triple Strike—The World Was Astounded!

Just as Kiana had predicted, Pardo, who had arrived at the coordinates, quickly expanded the portal that was originally used to connect to the outside world. However, just as she was about to leave, the portal shrank back down on its own.

This phenomenon seemed to drain Pardo of all her strength, leaving her slumped on the spot.

"I don't care, I don't care!"

"All I want is to have sunshine to bask in and sleep to enjoy... Do I really have to risk my life again and again just for that kind of life?"

"Sister Vill-V, did you know from the beginning that things would turn out this way...?"

"Pardo ..."

Seeing Pardo's struggling expression, Kiana's voice also carried a hint of pity.

She knew that after struggling, Pardo would definitely choose to continue maintaining the emptiness.

This is more of an experience-based observation... She's seen more than one hypocrite like this.

For example... telling her "you should end your teammates' lives without hesitation when they are Honkai", but when Kiana was corrupted, she sacrificed herself without hesitation to save her Himeko.

And indeed, things unfolded exactly as Kiana had predicted.

"It's impossible no matter how I look at it. I'm just a mortal, and I'm terrified of dying... In reality, I'm probably somewhere leisurely sunbathing..."

Upon hearing this, the two couldn't help but tear up again.

After all... they hadn't heard the name Pardofelis from the World Serpent.

"But, but..."

The steps that should have led her away from the vortex instead brought her back to the coordinates.

"But since we're just mortals... it's understandable that we might make a foolish mistake once in a while..."

"Sister Elysia, I never do business at a loss, you... you absolutely have to come back..."

"Waaaah—my Pardo— "

Theresa, who was still in a daze outside, had already figured everything out. Interestingly, the bitter melon juice that had been prepared to celebrate the cat's resurrection was still quietly sitting on the table next to her.

"Waaaaah... How could there be such a person... Reviving someone just so they could die again... That despicable Xia Ling..."

Theresa dared not look at the screen anymore; she was afraid she would explode if she looked at it again.

However, out of curiosity and because she couldn't let go of the story, she looked at the screen again with teary eyes.

"I know that if it weren't for good luck, I wouldn't have been able to stay here with everyone..."

"So, Sister Elysia... at least, I can't let you regret your decision."

"Whether I can do it or not... I can't guarantee it, but I will do my best."

"When you get back, remember to praise me again..."

And so, Theresa, having mustered her courage once again, suffered an even deeper blow.

While the cat maintained the passage, Kevin and Sue on the other side were also ready.

"If one day, pulling the trigger on me could save the vast majority of people... Kevin, what would you do?"

In a daze, Elysia's voice still lingered in his ears, and finally, Kevin was able to answer the question without hesitation.

"It has nothing to do with the future of humanity, nor with the ideals of the masses."

"This time, I'm putting my life into the gun."

"—Just to save one person."

The Heavenly Fire Judgment, representing destruction, instantly appeared in his hand.

"This is a one-time chance, Kevin."

As the data flowed, Su suddenly opened his eyes.

"Let me... become your sword."

All the data of the two Flame-Chasers, transformed by the Heavenly Fire Judgment, instantly became an unparalleled shockwave, flowing outwards through the passage opened by Pardo.

That was a strike that no one could withstand, a strike that clearly demonstrated the meaning of destruction.

That was the strike that once led everyone to cross the Finality.

Even the Herrscher of Corruption experienced a noticeable drop in power after this attack.

With the overwhelming power of the heavenly fire, seemingly capable of destroying everything, Kiana and Mei finally reached the penultimate node.

Now, only Hua remains to stand in the way of this erosion.

"They... are all heroes worthy of respect."

Mei held Kiana's hand tightly; compared to Kiana, she was relatively more resistant to separation.

After all, Kiana had suffered repeated blows from Himeko and Xia Ling back then... The increase in experience did not make her heart's barrier more resilient as she had imagined.

On the contrary, she would involuntarily associate such stories with herself, thus becoming more sensitive.

However, now that things have come to this, Kiana no longer wants to think about the Heart Wall; she just wants to witness this story until the very end.

At this juncture, the Herrscher of Corruption, who had withstood the full force of three Flame-Chasers, was already kneeling on the ground.

However... even after losing a large amount of Flame-Chasers data, she can still steadily suppress Hua with just the power of erosion.

But she still didn't intend to kill Hua. She changed her mind again and wanted to imprison Hua forever, forcing her to admit that the Herrschers' ideology was wrong.

She desperately needed someone to acknowledge her, her views, and her actions... but unfortunately, the person standing opposite her was Hua, who was focused on breaking through the defenses of the Herrscher.

After a conversation with Hua... the erosion seemed to have weakened even further.

It was no match for the erosion of China; even its sarcastic remarks seemed utterly powerless.

But what she didn't notice was that Hua was also constantly looking for opportunities during their conversation.

"The time has come... now!"

Taking advantage of the opening revealed by the erosion due to its language, a fiery red feather instantly appeared in Hua's hand.

That is the Eighth Divine Key — Feather Dust.

She gently grasped the old companion that had been with her for most of her life and spoke softly.

"Feather Dust... please help me one last time."

"Then I'll understand... what I can do."

Hua's body began to burn and mutate rapidly, and the data that constituted her was being transformed into Feather Dust's "fuel" at an extremely fast speed.

And this was also the final blow she had prepared for the erosion, the one that would decide the outcome.

"First rated power, let me once again..."

Break free from these constraints!

Like a giant sword, or a burning Chi Yuan, an attack containing Hua's "all data" roared down from the sky.

Chapter 106 Four Crystal Flowers, Sharing the Same Past

"You... you've wanted to do this for a long time?"

At this moment, the data space in this area had turned into a pure white due to Hua's indiscriminate attack, and Hua's true "purpose," let alone erosion, was probably already realized even by Theresa outside.

The opportunity she painstakingly found was not to kill the Herrscher of Corruption, but to achieve an effect similar to self-destruction.

But why?

This question is on everyone's mind right now.

"Don't forget, in the space of data, I am an immortal being..." Despite suffering repeated heavy blows, Erosion still struggled to maintain its strength. "If you make a decision and exert all your strength, there is only one obstacle that you can eliminate."

That is yourself.

"Indeed." Hua nodded slightly. "However, Herrscher of Corruption, you should have noticed this by now..."

"You have already..."

"I can no longer maintain Elysia's appearance."

As Hua finished speaking, the image of the Herrscher of Corruption, along with several flashes of data, transformed into a strange-looking Honkai Beast.

"Pfft... This guy looks really weird."

Kiana couldn't help but laugh.

Although the Herrscher of Corruption's defeat was very satisfying, her unique appearance still attracted everyone's attention.

After all, from another perspective, this Honkai Beast form of corruption can also be considered as having white stockings, red eyes, and long legs.

"But this thing... haven't we seen it before?"

"Among the Honkai Beast she summoned before, there was a batch of those that looked like this." As the one in charge of the battle in the duo, Mei had a deep impression of those strange, faded Honkai Beast.

In the following scene, Fu Hua slowly explains the reason why the Herrscher of Corruption undergoes this change.

"So... this was the real reason Griseo and Cosmo sacrificed themselves..."

"Don't leave your own data to the erosion, and try to burn as much of Flame-Chasers's already absorbed data as possible, so that the other side can't restore Elysia..."

Kiana clicked her tongue in amazement. "Is this really a plan a human could come up with...? And yet, Vill-V's plan perfectly aligned with Doctor Mobius's without any prior communication..."

"Hmm... perhaps this is what they mean by the telepathic connection between geniuses?"

Mei pondered, "But if that's the case... according to Vill-V's plan, isn't there still a 'loophole' in the Elysian Realm?"

"A loophole?" Kiana blinked, then immediately realized. "Eden?"

"That's right, Flame-Chasers, who is closest to Elysia and probably has the most of Elysia's memories, Eden ... If Erosion finds her, then there is still a chance to turn the tide."

"However... Vill-V shouldn't have left such a loophole, especially since Eden hasn't appeared yet, so there might be some other arrangements."

At this moment, as Fu Hua's remaining data dissipated under Feather Dust's power, the penultimate node, which was also the last node of the Narrow Encounter, finally came to an end.

The standee of Flame-Chasers on the interface also suffered a triple shattering after the double shattering.

The previously vibrant and colorful introduction interface for Flame-Chasers now only features Eden.

"The final milestone has been reached, Wish Fulfilled..."

Kiana took a deep breath.

She wouldn't do anything like popping champagne prematurely, after all, Wish Fulfilled precedent for this point in time, and no one can guarantee whether this point of Wish Fulfilled is beneficial to them or to the enemy.

If it's good for them, if it's good for the erosion... Nyil1ing 3 (2) Commander ba phosphorus dream...

It seems even the last Eden standee among the standees won't survive.

Upon reaching the final point where one's Wish Fulfilled, all that comes into view is white.

Before them stood rows of imposing gates.

"Use your own memories to complete Elysia... This is the final and most crucial step in the plan."

Mei muttered to herself.

As they walk, scenes from the previous endings and the Unexpected Encounter encounters they experienced during their trials appear around them as they cross each gate.

However, this good fortune did not last long.

The closest memory to the one before Elysia disappeared, that is, the afternoon after the promise made with Elysia to go to the island.

The surrounding scenery suddenly began to blur and disappear.
