Corruption, the Hate Magnet, and Elysia Getting NTR'd.
Eden smiled.
She was certain that at that time, it was only her and Elysia, and there was no third person present. Yet, Yaqing used a certain technique to describe her first encounter with Elysia, and it was even extremely similar.
Eden was quite certain that Elysia had never discussed this matter with Yaqing.
Meanwhile, the Far East Branch.
Yaqing's capable female subordinates are occupying his office, eating his treasured snacks and drinking his wine.
"The workload of the Elysian Realm is really too great. Fortunately, Yaqing has returned to the Far East, so we can finally take a break."
Shub lay on the sofa in Yaqing's office, feeling utterly weak.
Salo opened the refrigerator with practiced ease.
Patrick sat comfortably in the chair in front of Yaqing's desk, basking in the CEO's aura.
Cheng Lixue rummaged through Yaqing's snacks, and even prepared to pack them up.
Only Shigure Kira was watching the show, which was something they couldn't understand. For others, watching the show was a pleasure, but for them it was torture, since they had watched it countless times before it was even released.
"Kira, how many times have you watched this? Aren't you tired of it?"
Patrick asked curiously.
Shigure Kira shook her head.
"I just felt that this passage looked familiar."
Patrick couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could he not be familiar with it? It was them who made it.
Shigure Kira still frowned, and finally remembered it in her mind.
That was the script from before.
I once dreamt of a scorched earth, and a new bud breaking through the soil, blooming in the morning sun, whispering secrets to me...
That was a script I worked on a long time ago, so long ago that Shigure Kira had almost forgotten about it.
[The flashback ends, Eden looks worriedly at Aponia, who has been infected by the eroding virus. But at this moment, Aponia is beyond saving.]
So Eden bid farewell to Aponia.
She will find Sue and Griseo before the Herrscher, find all their keys, and put them to their original purpose.
"Eden ...Go, let the secret of that night see the light of day again."
Aponia gave Eden her final blessing.
"Farewell... Aponia."
Eden turned and left.
"Please take care. I wish you all the best and hope that you will move towards a better future."
As Aponia finished speaking, Eden's figure disappeared into the darkness.
For no reason at all, she remembered that sentence again.
Tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope.
"It seems that those four Crystal Flower really do have a great effect, otherwise Kevin, Aponia, Eden and Vill-V would not have gone to such great lengths to preserve them."
Mei frowned and voiced the guess she least wanted to believe.
"It's impossible that collecting all four Crystal Flower will actually revive Elysia, right?"
"Really? That's so romantic."
Elysia excitedly clasped her hands together.
Mei suddenly hesitated for a moment.
She had been speculating about this from her own perspective, but if it was Elysia who did it, it didn't seem so hard to understand.
Perhaps it really is possible.
"Is Aponia's mother the next one to be cut?"
Griseo, sitting in Blanca's lap, looked up.
Looking into Griseo's innocent eyes, Blanca opened her mouth, unable to utter a white lie.
"Maybe..."
"So... what secret was there that night?"
Pardo scratched her head.
Since entering the Eternal Elysium, all the plots have revolved around the banquet where Elysia died, but of the four people who know what really happened, two have already died.
Aponia also about to disappear completely.
Perhaps only Eden can explain this to Mei and the audience.
That banquet marked the birth of the Thirteenth Herrscher, and also Thirteenth Herrscher demise.
Perhaps in the Elysian Realm, two Herrscher will appear.
The Twelfth Herrscher of modern civilization and... the Thirteenth Herrscher of modern civilization.
"Hey! Do you guys think Mei will become the Thirteenth Herrscher later on?"
Suddenly, a bold idea came to Vill-V.
No one has ever said that one cannot become a second Herrscher after becoming a Herrscher.
After all, Kiana was initially the Herrscher of the Void, and later became the Herrscher of Finality.
Sirin initially possessed six Herrscher Core.
"Ah?"
None of the other people's ideas were as imaginative as Vill-V's.
Let the Herrscher of Thunder become the Thirteenth Herrscher!
563
Chapter 563 The Corruption That Attracts Hatred, Elysia of the Cow.
But this transition left the audience puzzled.
Because each previous transition was accompanied by the main character's appearance and name, but this time, the transition was a silhouette, the outline of which looked like Elysia.
Even her name is "Elysia".
However, those viewers who were deeply engrossed in watching the series immediately noticed something amiss.
"Elysia ..."
Mei frowned.
She always felt there was something wrong.
"Could it be..."
Mei suddenly realized.
The silhouette of Elysia, the lack of a clear indication that it was Elysia, and the quotation marks—for all these reasons, she suddenly thought of that short trailer that only lasted a few minutes.
Since the Herrscher of Corruption appears in the form of Elysia, is it possible that "Elysia" at this moment refers to...?
Mei thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible.
Just as Mei had guessed, the camera panned to the amusement park, where Mei glared at "Elysia?", a thief with a familiar face and tone.
Mei's face was full of anger, her tone was icy, and she barely suppressed the urge to strike.
The Herrscher of Corruption, however, smiled and said that she had no ill intentions towards Mei and just wanted to be friends with her.
"Why did you transform into Elysia's appearance?"
Mei's tone was extremely cold.
"Oh? Is that what Mei cares about? The reason is simple. Besides wanting Mei to feel more comfortable, it's also because..."
The Herrscher of Corruption spoke with a cheerful tone, tapping her chin with her finger and striking an adorable pose.
"Don't you think I look especially cute with this appearance?"
Mei glared angrily at the Herrscher of Corruption.
The Herrscher of Corruption, however, was completely unconcerned, asserting that as Herrscher, didn't he have the right to choose his appearance?
"You should know better than me that no one in this world cherishes this unique beauty more than she—that is, me now."
The Herrscher of Corruption completely ignored the anger in Mei's eyes, and even showed some pride.
Despite her inner rage, Mei maintained a semblance of composure. She seized upon the loophole in the Herrscher of Corruption's words: the Herrscher claimed to have taken over Elysia's data, but Vill-V had clearly told her that Elysia's data had been deleted.
The Herrscher of Corruption told Mei that she would also grow as she absorbed external data.
Because we have life, we learn to fear death; because we have a body, we understand the pursuit of beauty; because we have nothing, we want to cherish everything.
She is slowly coming to understand the meaning of life. She did invade Elysian Realm, but she never intended to harm anyone. And those lost memories are now in her mind.
"I obtained their data, learned about their experiences, and inherited their emotions and will."
The Herrscher of Corruption didn't realize how much hatred her words had provoked; instead, she looked smug.
"So, you can totally see me as a continuation of the Flame-Chasers' lives. Does that... make you even happier?"
The level of hatred evoked by the Herrscher of Corruption is no less than that of the Herrscher of the Thousand.
This completely sent the audience's blood pressure soaring.
Even the good-natured Elysia frowned.
They understood how Welt felt when he heard Otto's words.
I did invade the Elysian Realm and erase their data, but you can consider me an extension of them, just as I once was.
"Damn it! I can't hold back anymore! What is this Herrscher of Corruption anyway? Does she even deserve to be considered an extension of 'us'?"
Kevin slammed his hand on the front seat, his anger making no attempt to hide it.
The Herrscher of Corruption's words were an insult to the Flame-Chasers. He had corrupted them and caused them to completely disappear, yet he still shamelessly claimed that he had obtained their experiences and emotions, attempting to replace them.
He claims to be the continuation of Flame-Chasers's life.
This is not a continuation, it is an insult, a trampling of their will, an insult to their dignity!
"Scum!"
A fierce light shone brightly in Kalpas's eyes.
Despite his seemingly arrogant Kalpas, Qian Jie deeply cares for his companions and family. If the Herrscher of Corruption were to appear before him, there is no doubt that Kalpas would leave a mark on the opponent, even at the cost of his own life.
"No matter how beautifully they put it, the fundamental thing remains the same: they are always trying to beautify their own actions."
Mei adjusted her glasses, her eyes filled with disgust.
"..."
Elysia frowned.
The first part of the Herrscher of Corruption's words made her quite happy, after all, it was praising her beauty, her unique and beautiful appearance, which even Herrscher wanted to pursue, even if the methods were a bit extreme.
But what came next was something she couldn't accept. What did she mean by saying that she had absorbed their data and wanted Mei to see her as a continuation of Flame-Chasers? Elysia was furious.
He was clearly the culprit who killed the Flame-Chasers, yet he shamelessly claimed to be the continuation of Flame-Chasers lives.
This is even more hated than the Herrscher of the Thousand.
At least the thousand people represent the dark side of human nature; although they may tempt people to degenerate, those things actually happened. But the corruption is different; it's pure robber logic.
She infiltrated Elysian Realm, killed Flame-Chasers, seized everything, and shamelessly claimed to be their continuation.
"That's outrageous! Let Mei do it already. She looks exactly like Sister Elysia, but I just want to punch her in the face."
Even Pardo was so angry that she couldn't help but want to take action.
One can only imagine the extent to which the Herrscher of Corruption could absorb hatred...
Mei was completely bewildered by the logic of the Herrscher of Corruption of Corruption's strength. After she came to her senses, she was filled with endless anger and immediately chose to take action.
