The Fury That Burned for Fifty Thousand Years Had Been Extinguished

Elysia retorted.

"But it is indeed because of her arrival that something that will bring destruction to the Elysian Realm has been brought about."

Mobius snorted coldly.

"If I remember correctly, Mei left halfway through to help Kiana, and it was just a short phone call, wait..."

Pardo suddenly had an idea.

The space where Mei and Kiana communicated remotely was the location of the Collapse Consciousness. After helping Kiana, she even met with the Collapse Consciousness alone.

Could it be that...

The more Pardo thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

That is, the Collapse Consciousness itself placed the Herrscher into Mei's body.

Pardo shared her guess with everyone, and won the approval of most of them.

"If that's what Pardo said, then it makes sense. The reason why the Herrscher of Corruption doesn't have a physical body is because it was cast by the Collapse Consciousness itself. The reason why Mei and Kevin didn't notice it is also because of the Collapse Consciousness."

Mei had to admire the screenwriter's imagination.

As long as it's related to the Collapse Consciousness, the fact that the newly born Herrscher didn't attract the attention of Kevin, Mei, and most of the Flame-Chasers becomes understandable.

"Now... has the Evil joined forces with the Herrscher of Corruption?"

Eden felt like he was being slapped in the face.

Before this, she had confidently stated that there would be no betrayers among them.

However, unexpectedly, while there were indeed no traitors among them, a traitor would emerge from among them.

Vill-V didn't know what to say.

She felt a pang of sympathy for the Evil.

Imprisoned in that pitch-black darkness for 50,000 years—let alone 50,000 years, a normal person would be driven insane in just a few days under such conditions. It's understandable that such the Evil person would be driven to such an extreme.

But under these circumstances, Vill-V definitely wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

So far, the initial appearance of the Evil has exuded a strong villainous aura, and everyone believes that she is a traitor who has joined forces with the Herrscher of Corruption.

Only Yaqing knew that whatever Vill-V did was justified, including her the Evil...

"So Mei isn't going to be fighting two people at once next, is she?"

Pardo looked worried.

"Pardo, you really underestimate me... uh, no, you really underestimate the Evil."

Vill-V reacted instinctively.

"Mei's power has been weakened, so she will need the combined efforts of the Evil and the Herrscher of Corruption. The Evil alone is probably enough to deal with Mei."

Vill-V is very confident.

Even though she separates herself from the Evil in her words, the Evil is still a side of her genius.

Mei's expression told Vill-V that she didn't quite believe it.

Vill-V explained that the other party could indeed easily deal with Vill-V, but there was still a variable in the Elysian Realm, a variable that was not a memory entity and that she could not easily deal with.

The Herrscher of Corruption wanted to eliminate this variable, which is why she joined forces with the Evil One.

Mei also understood why Vill-V was so persistent in letting her enter her mind.

Vill-V readily admitted that this was an inspiration from Aponia, and she decided to carve out a new area to imprison Mei, just as the other personalities had imprisoned her before.

Mei tries to get answers from the mouth of the Evil.

The Vill-V said that she had killed all the other Vill-V personalities, but she did not tell Mei, Elysia, Kevin, and Mobius the truth about their deaths.

"And... what about her?"

Mei suppressed her anger.

"She?"

"Pardo, Pardofelis, someone who can't stop your schemes, she just wants to live."

Mei suppressed her anger and asked one last question.

She still couldn't accept that Pardo had vanished in her arms.

The Evil still maintains that it was just an accident, after all, everything she did was just to survive.

"I see."

Mei's eyes were filled with murderous intent, like a volcano about to erupt, giving people a great sense of oppression.

"Since you've shared so many of your own thoughts, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"Oh?"

"Now, I am facing an individual composed entirely of malice who is determined to kill me. She is gradually advancing her plan, a conspiracy that could jeopardize reality."

"Ah, to put it more accurately, it should be said... it will definitely jeopardize reality."

"But none of that matters to me right now. All I can think about is one thing."

Mei slowly closed her eyes, and Pardo's voice and appearance remained vivid in her mind.

It's simple... I want to be friends with Mei.

"(I haven't... given her an answer yet...)"

"Boom--!"

The roar of lightning exploded at that moment, and crimson lightning bolts instantly covered Mei's entire body, her pupils turning bloodshot and filled with murderous intent.

If Kalpas could see the pressure he was under right now, he would surely be filled with fighting spirit.

"And you... caused my friend to sacrifice himself for such an absurd reason... So, are you prepared to pay the price?"

Every word was filled with Mei's anger.

This was also the time she was most furious since entering the Elysian Realm.

"Mei- nee..."

Pardo was deeply moved.

Seeing Mei avenge her, she was deeply moved and cried buckets of tears.

Of course, apart from Pardo, the others didn't look too good. The worst part of Honkai is never the present moment, but the aftereffects.

Every time I feel the knife, it has a powerful aftereffect.

Even if Mei unleashed her full power and chopped Vill-V into mincemeat, it wouldn't save Pardo from death.

I wonder if Mei felt a pang of regret at that moment, that she hadn't given Pardo a definite answer.

Pardo didn't want much; she just wanted to be friends with her.

Sakura let out a deep breath.

I always feel a tightness in my chest.

Like Elysia, once the audience gets used to Pardo's presence, the writers will not hesitate to cut her.

"Even though Mei looks so imposing, but..."

Mobius clearly didn't think Mei could defeat Vill-V.

Firstly, the battlefield is in Vill-V's mental space, where Vill-V already has an advantage. Mei was also weakened earlier, so given this disparity, Mei's chances of winning are extremely slim.

"Sister Snake, we think Mei will definitely win. She's the main character. Even if she loses to Vill-V, someone will definitely rescue her."

Pardo was serious and determined.

"Alright, let's wait and see."

Mobius also enjoys playing with cats.

[Vill-V wanted to separate this area from her mind, but Mei naturally wouldn't let herself be slaughtered. She kept changing her position so that the other party couldn't determine her coordinates.]

Vill-V watched Mei flee, preparing to gently slash her once Mei was exhausted.

Mei realized the only way to break the deadlock: to confront Vill-V head-on.

Thanks to Mei's persistent efforts, she finally seized the opportunity to get in front of Vill-V.

Just as they were about to clash head-on, Vill-V suddenly gained control of [its] power and claimed that the other party had already dealt with Kalpas.

Mei finally realized that the culprit who caused all these things was brought back when she met the Collapse Consciousness.

She understood.

The accomplice that the Vill-V mentioned is another Herrscher.

"Little Pardo, what do you say?"

Mobius proudly raised his little face.

Pardo was somewhat disappointed.

"How could this be..."

But now no one cares about Pardo's disappointment; all attention is focused on Vill-V's words: it has already resolved the Kalpas.

"Is Brother Jie... also dead?"

Little Knowledge looked on incredulously, while cautiously glancing at Kalpas.

Kalpas wore a mask, making it impossible to see his expression.

But thinking about it, it must have turned black.

Yaqing couldn't help but shiver, as if she were being watched by something inexplicable.

"Wasn't Kalpas going to find Aponia? How come he was suddenly dealt with?"

Elysia was also caught off guard.

An answer I could hardly believe arose in my mind.

That means perhaps Kalpas really didn't survive, and the Kalpas who went to the Depths might really be the Herrscher of Corruption hiding behind the scenes.

In that case, Aponia would be in danger.

556

Chapter 556 The rage that had burned for fifty thousand years was extinguished.

Everyone was very concerned about what the Evil Vill-V mentioned. It seemed that "it" had already resolved the Kalpas. What exactly did she mean by that?

Could it be...?

No one wanted to believe the speculation that had surfaced.

"Snort."

Kalpas snorted coldly.

He didn't sound like he was in a good mood.

That makes sense, after all, no one would feel good seeing themselves die.

The screen went black.

When a person is about to lose consciousness, the first thing to be lost is sight, just like now, then touch, and finally hearing. Even Kalpas, one can only rely on hearing.

"Why... is it you... Kalpas...?"

That was Aponia's incredulous voice.

As if the mournful music of a dying man began to play, Kalpas lost all five senses and was covered in wounds. Only by relying on the instincts of this crippled body could he barely reach the deepest depths.

Upon seeing the weakened Kalpas, Aponia and Eden were filled with shock in their beautiful eyes. Eden instinctively wanted to step forward, but Aponia stopped him repeatedly.

The hope of Kalpas's survival is extremely slim. To prevent his sacrifice from being in Kalpas, Aponia decides to delve into his mind to find clues about the mastermind behind it all. Before that, Eden must protect the now-empty shell of Aponia.

"Kalpas..."

Elysia was stunned.
