Following its instincts, it subconsciously tried to erode, only to find that neither of the two beings before it could be eroded.

Unable to comprehend any of this, it chose to split itself in two, each part intended to erode the Collapse Consciousness and Mei, even if it failed, it would remain with them.

"Holy crap!!!"

Little Knowledge blurted it out.

She thought she was already incredibly reckless when she was first born as Herrscher consciousness, punching Schicksal and kicking World Serpent, but she never expected that someone would be even more reckless than her.

The Herrscher of Corruption was just born, and not only did she want to corrupt Mei, she also wanted to corrupt the Collapse Consciousness.

That's the Collapse Consciousness.

"Should we call it naive, or should we say it's reckless?"

Vill-V was both amused and exasperated.

The saying "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger" was fully embodied at this moment.

But as a newly born consciousness, it acted on instinct, and thankfully the Collapse Consciousness didn't slap it to death.

Upon closer reflection, the Collapse Consciousness is quite wronged. The Herrscher that appear are either traitors or incompetent. Look at this newly born Herrscher of Corruption, who even wants to directly erode its own leader.

"This Herrscher of Corruption seems more troublesome than other Herrscher. It keeps backing up its data. As long as there is a backup, it will not die even if its main body is destroyed."

Sakura couldn't help but say.

Even more troublesome than the Thousand Herrschers. At least the Herrscher of the Thousand only number a thousand, but who knows how much data the Herrscher of Corruption will back up?

"Actually, it's not too bad. The data backup of the Herrscher of Corruption in reality has been fully grasped. World Serpent and Schicksal are being eliminated one by one. As long as the main body in the Elysian Realm is eliminated, the Herrscher of Corruption will be over."

Mei sighed.

Mei herself knew how difficult this was.

Five of the Flame-Chasers have died, and the Evil has made a pact with Corruption. Aponia has been infected by Corruption, leaving only Mei and a few Flame-Chasers. The main fighting force has also been almost completely wiped out.

"I believe that our current civilization will be able to overcome the Herrscher of Corruption."

Elysia firmly believed it.

In fact, it wasn't just Elysia; most viewers were lamenting the troubles caused by the Herrscher of Corruption, rather than questioning whether the Herrscher of Corruption could end the current civilization.

The appearance of "Post-Honkai Odyssey" has already told the audience that modern civilization has passed the test of Honkai.

While Klein was still pondering where things went wrong in the Elysian Realm, the Herrscher of Corruption had already quietly followed Mei to the Elysian Realm. In the world composed of data, it was full of nourishment.

It will record all the emotions Mei experiences and create a backup.

I learned joy from Elysia, anticipation from Mobius, curiosity from Griseo, and fear from the ten-day prophecy of Aponia.

It wasn't until Mei and Kalpas's deadly battle that it truly understood the fear of death.

It was at this moment that the World Serpent and Schicksal began to clear out the backup data it left in reality, and thus, a new idea was born.

I don't want to die.

Thus, anticipation transformed into a desire for life, curiosity into longing, and countless joys surged forth from all directions.

"This is..."

They suddenly recalled that inexplicable scene at the beginning of this week's plot.

At first, they suspected that the communication originated from the various personalities of Vill-V, but at this moment, the plot truly revealed the truth to them.

Those conversations were between the Herrscher of Corruption and her backups.

"It turns out that the mastermind behind the murder was right in front of us from the very beginning."

Elysia murmured to herself.

"Hmph, if I had known back then that this bastard could see that battle, I definitely wouldn't have held back. I would have truly killed two Herrscher, and even Aponia wouldn't have been able to stop me."

Kalpas gritted his teeth in anger.

Although he seems irritable, he cares most about his family. Everyone is like family to him. If anyone tries to harm his family, he won't care who Mei is.

To him, he was simply Herrscher.

The Herrscher of Corruption's goal became survival, so on the night Sakura approached Elysia, it made the right choice for itself.

Then, the Evil Vill-V coaxed it in a tone of coaxing a child, and a cooperation was reached.

Then the Evil Vill-V and Kevin put on a show together.

But the Vill-V, though saying one thing and meaning another, wanted Kevin dead so she could have access to the backdoor, but the choice to keep the backdoor closed fell to her.

At the last moment, Kevin asked the Evil a question.

"Who are you?"]

"This is truly a huge reversal..."

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

Vill-V suddenly went from being a mole to a double mole.

"I knew I wouldn't die so easily!"

Kevin suddenly became excited.

According to the Evil Vill-V, Kevin's death was just a performance, and it still has a "backdoor," meaning that there is a possibility that he will reappear, after all, he is the sharpest sword among the Flame-Chasers.

"Write this: Kevin died in a fall on his way to join the Herrscher of Corruption!"

Little Knowledge grabbed Yaqing.

Kevin was completely stunned.

"Not a single word changed?"

"Not a single word will be changed!"

Fu Hua took a sip by herself.

Little Knowledge and Yaqing immediately got bumps on their heads.

"This is no joke."

Fu Hua's tone was flat.

Subsequently, the Evil Vill-V used the same tactic to approach Mobius.

Mobius immediately noticed the marks on Vill-V's body, and the Evil immediately turned the tables, saying that Mobius's previous experiments had created the virus of the Herrscher of Corruption.

Vill-V knew perfectly well that with Mobius's intelligence, he must know that she was being watched in some way and began to guess the intention behind every word she said.

Vill-V never had any plan; all she had to do was convince Mobius that she did.

Finally, Mobius also asked that question.

"Who... who are you?"

After watching this part of the story, everyone was a little confused.

Even knowing the Herrscher of Corruption's journey to the Elysian Realm, and knowing that its purpose in killing Elysia was simply to survive.

However, what they couldn't understand was why Kevin and Mobius, who clearly saw that there was something wrong with Vill-V, would still believe her and carry out her plan.

"The Evil truly lives up to his genius. He took advantage of Kevin and Mobius's trust in Vill-V while simultaneously pressuring them to inform them that the Herrscher of Corruption had descended upon the Elysian Realm, thus achieving his own plan."

Hearing Mei's words, which could be considered praise, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Vill-V raised her little face.

"That was one of my personalities, even though I the Evil, I was still a genius."

"Mobius said with ill intent."

"Vill-V, do you admit that you are involved in those the Evil acts?"

"Then..."

Vill-V answered instinctively, then quickly realized something was wrong.

"No, the Evil is the Evil, but I am me, I am the conductor."

Mobius felt it was a pity at the time.

In the story, she was manipulated by the Evil. The higher your IQ, the easier it is to fall into his trap. She never expected that it was because she was smart that she fell into the Evil trap.

This made Mobius very unhappy.

Will the Evil person ultimately be brought down by their own actions?

Little Knowledge suddenly thought of something.

Based on the current situation, the Herrscher of Corruption will certainly not let the Evil go after eliminating all the Flame-Chasers.

Someone with the Evil intelligence would definitely not let this happen; there will probably be another twist in the end.

"I don't know if the Evil will kill me, but I do know why Kalpas could feel Elysia's familiarity from Erosion. It's likely that it absorbed quite a bit of Elysia's data when it deleted her data."

Elysia was completely stunned by Mei's words.

Eden's hand, holding the wine glass, bulged with veins.

As a die-hard fan of Elysia, she would never allow anyone to desecrate the Elysia in her heart.

After reading these two memories, Vill-V couldn't help but feel confused.

Who... is she?

Vill-V was in excruciating pain, her figure flickering until she finally transformed into Mei's appearance.

"???"

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.

"What's going on? Why did Sister Vill-V suddenly turn into Mei?"

Pardo's eyes widened.

"It seems that Mei is not just imprisoned, but assimilated."

Mei frowned.

"Assimilation?!"

The crowd cried out in disbelief.

Even Vill-V herself felt the same way.

What she couldn't believe was that the character she was in the story actually had the ability to transform other people's personalities into her own.

When Mei realized that she was not imprisoned, she knew that someone had taken action. When she accessed her memories again, she found herself in a familiar archive bathed in sunlight.

"Hi, you're finally here..."

Appearing before Mei was Vill-V sitting on the sofa, looking like a lady. She was different from the other Vill-V; she wasn't as crazy or as the Evil as the other Velvi.

She quietly read in the sunlight until Mei arrived, at which point she put the book down.

How should I ask you to introduce yourself? Long time no see? Or... nice to meet you?

Even when she said the same things as the Evil Vill-V, she didn't give off that kind of madness; instead, she seemed like a gentle older sister.

This is the original Vill-V's "true self."

"The id? That thing that loves to sleep."

The commander, Vill-V, became interested.

She understands her true self very well; she's an extremely socially anxious person, yet also a very gentle one.

As a patient with dissociative identity disorder, all evil thoughts are borne by the Evil, and other personality traits are also borne by other personalities, leaving only gentleness in the id.

She was very curious about how the authentic Vill-V would be portrayed in Yaqing's writing.

[Vill-V, the true self, was very gentle, and her tone was extremely soft. She talked a lot with Mei.]

It also taught the audience a lot.

The Evil does indeed erase that part of the id, but no one stipulates that the personality of the id must stay in the id's area. Just as a spider has eight legs, it must have a torso to move those eight legs.

The conductor was the one who made the decision to halt the erosion by destroying the wicked.

Vill-V was stunned when she heard this.
