The Corruption Herrscher's True Purpose!
The Herrscher of Corruption, however, remained smiling, stating that she would reveal her trump cards one by one to Mei, therefore... she was using the data of the Flame-Chasers she had dissipated.
Mobius, Kalpas, Vill-V...
To see the Flame-Chasers once fought against the Honkai now acting like puppets, under the control of the Herrscher of Corruption, attacking their successors.
The audience's anger grew increasingly intense.
Kiana, in particular, was so angry that she almost punched the screen out of the room. Fortunately Bronya and Mei remained rational and quickly stopped her.
"This guy is just too much... no, not too much, disgusting, absolutely disgusting."
Even though she knew that the Herrscher of Corruption had just been born and that her consciousness was still growing, Kiana was still disgusted by this whole thing.
It's one thing for the Herrscher of Corruption to manipulate Flame-Chasers, but to comment on their past experiences and personalities in such a relaxed, disdainful, and playful tone.
The Herrscher of Corruption had only been on the scene for a few minutes when it was enough to ignite the audience's fury during the dozen or so hours of the storyline in the Elysian Realm.
"..."
The gentle Mei didn't say a word.
It wasn't that she had no issues with the Herrscher of Corruption; rather, she was furious.
Whether in reality or in the storyline, she is friends with everyone in the Golden Courtyard. Now, witnessing her friends being manipulated by the Herrscher, and even the data after their dissipation being used, her anger is beyond words.
At this very moment, far away in Central Europe, Mobius watched as his data was used by the Herrscher and scoffed. This also proved that Mobius's death had nothing to do with Vill-V, but was done by the Herrscher of Corruption.
"It's truly disgusting. I never imagined that one day, the Infinite Serpents would be reduced to puppets of others..."
Mobius gritted his teeth.
Cecilia and Kallen also have a poor sense of the Herrscher of Corruption.
Durandal, being the only junior present, obediently watched the plot unfold without uttering a single word.
Otto then smiled and said to Yaqing.
"Yaqing, sometimes I have to admit that your skill in creating villains far surpasses mine. In just a few minutes, you can create a villain that makes the audience angry."
Otto's sentiments were very sincere.
Yaqing couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Otto wrote several installments of the Kallen Fantasy storyline, and the villains have never changed. They've always been the same pink-haired fox from the East and the evil pink-haired girl from the East. No wonder players are getting tired of it.
An eerie silence hung over the Golden Courtyard.
"Unforgivable, no matter how unspeakable her actions may be, they are unforgivable."
Aponia is angry.
Everyone was quite surprised, never expecting that the actions of the Herrscher of Corruption would actually anger even the compassionate Aponia.
"In the final moments of his life, Kalpas only wanted to leave peacefully, but the Herrscher of Corruption, as if showing off a toy, pulled out his data again. Unforgivable, unforgivable."
Aponia was angry, she was really angry.
"Cut."
Upon hearing Aponia speak up for him, the volatile Kalpas didn't say much, only scoffing.
"Using Elysia's voice and appearance, claiming to know all of Flame-Chasers's emotions and experiences, yet unable to even distinguish Vill-V's personality, and still dares to say that she is the continuation of Flame-Chasers's life?!"
Few people could make Eden despise them.
What a thousand people couldn't do before, Erosion has accomplished now.
It's not that the Thousand-Man Herrscher is so good, but rather that the people the Herrscher of the Thousand deals with are not so familiar to Eden. However, the Herrscher of Corruption is different; the people it deals with are those whom Eden considers family and companions.
No matter how angry the audience is about the Herrscher of Corruption, Mei in the story is powerless against Herrscher of Corruption at this moment, and she has to calm down and analyze the situation.
She doesn't fully understand the power of erosion, and cannot use the power of conquest as freely as she does with dolls. She only has one chance, and the consequences of failure are unimaginable.
Just as Mei was thinking, a strange, sharp pain suddenly shot through her mind, and she could no longer hear the Herrscher of Corruption's voice.
She was startled, instinctively thinking that she had been corrupted in the battle just now, but then she thought that if the Herrscher of Corruption could corrupt her so easily, there would be no need to waste words on her.
A familiar feeling surged up again, and she realized that it was the spiral Signets that Vill-V had given her, imprinting something in her mind.
The Herrscher of Corruption wanted to have a good talk with Mei also wanted to stall for time and hold off the Herrscher of Corruption before reuniting with Su.
Hearing Mei's answer, the Herrscher of Corruption's expression became even happier, and she clapped her hands like a child. She decided to start with what Mei most wanted to know.
The Herrscher of Corruption snapped her fingers, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and deform, eventually revealing a Ferris wheel in front of the two.
"That's what Elysia told you, right—"
The Herrscher of Corruption coughed a few times, mimicking Elysia's tone.
"Let's go together to that mist-shrouded island, to the site of that the Last Banquet, and witness the birth and end of the Thirteenth Herrscher."
After speaking, the Herrscher of Corruption reached out and grabbed Mei's wrist, then walked towards the Ferris wheel.
"Come on, Mei —let's fulfill that promise we made back then."
"Next is the time for us to confide in each other, like... a date?"
Kiana was completely devastated upon witnessing this scene.
Mei had already endured Elysia Mei with her, and now she had to watch helplessly as the Herrscher of Corruption appeared in Elysia's form, Mei with her.
She's like an incompetent husband in some TV drama.
"Ahem, I'm a little curious, Kialana, what are your thoughts right now?"
Bronya suddenly said.
"Bronya! At least pronounce my name correctly, okay? What the hell is Kiana?"
Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, looking displeased, her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish.
"Hehe."
Bronya chuckled and turned on the comments. As soon as the comments were turned on, it was as if some kind of mechanism had been unlocked, and the screen was immediately filled with bright green.
The screen was filled with the phrase, "Kiana is Anti-Entropy."
Kiana was stunned.
At this moment, Mei felt more angry than shy.
The Herrscher of Corruption was indeed flirting with her, but it was Elysia's tone and appearance that made her feel disgusted and angry, not shy.
Mei's shyness was mostly directed at the screenwriter and Kiana.
At the same time, Elysia's expression was also complicated and strange.
She never imagined that a staunch supporter of Qiya would also have the illusion of being a minotaur when witnessing this scene.
It was a feeling of helplessness, as if someone was wearing her clothes and flirting with her wife.
"Hehe."
Elysia successfully proved to others that people can smile even when they are speechless.
Those who are exceptional will always be regarded as exceptional by others.
"I'm so angry! I haven't even ridden a Ferris wheel with Mei yet, and the Herrscher of Corruption is actually copying me and going on a date with Mei?!"
Elysia put her hands on her hips.
Ever since the Herrscher of Corruption appeared, she has felt uncomfortable all over.
It was as if an imposter was trying to take her place.
"Well..."
Mei has something she's unsure whether she should say.
She thought the reason the Herrscher of Corruption was Mei was more likely due to the influence of Elysia's data.
After all, Elysia's cunning was too terrifying; she could twist and turn at will, and even Eden couldn't escape her, let alone a newly formed consciousness of the Herrscher of Corruption.
The first thing absorbed was Elysia's data.

Chapter 564 The True Purpose of the Herrscher of Corruption!
Mei and the Herrscher of Corruption boarded the Ferris wheel.
The Herrscher of Corruption always intentionally or unintentionally emphasizes to Mei her control over Elysian Realm.
Mei finally couldn't help but ask why the other party had only completely deleted Elysia's data, and what exactly she possessed that made the Herrscher of Corruption so wary.
The Herrscher of Corruption replied that there was no reason, it was just an accident. When she first arrived in the Elysian Realm, she was like a naive child, acting on her instinct to survive.
In that state, she met someone else for the first time, and it was also the first time she met Elysia.
Without knowing whether she was an enemy or a friend, the Herrscher of Corruption acted entirely out of instinct, and it is precisely because of this that she still regrets it to this day.
Mei simply didn't believe what the Herrscher of Corruption said. If, as she claimed, the attack on Elysia was merely an instinct, then what happened afterward? After gaining the power to overthrow Elysian Realm, could the tragedies she committed also be explained by instinct?
The Herrscher of Corruption explained that after the accident, she only wanted to lie low, but she didn't expect that Elysia's death would bring out an even greater power, namely Kevin.
Kevin posed a greater threat to her than ever before, making her realize that death was the only outcome if she were discovered. Under these circumstances, the Vill-V extended an invitation to her, and so she began to cooperate with Vill-V, each getting what they wanted.
Two unexpected things have happened since then, one of which is Kalpas, and the other is Mei.
Mei's victory over the Evil Herrscher piqued the Herrscher of Corruption's interest, prompting her to come out and say hello.
"You had a very pleasant conversation?!"
Pardo's eyes widened.
She couldn't believe that the Herrscher of Corruption would dare to say that he and Kalpas had a very pleasant conversation.
You call that a pleasant conversation?!
"Heh, I really wish she would say that to me."
Kalpas was so angry he laughed.
"I... died in an accident?"
Elysia was completely dumbfounded.
She never imagined that she would die from the instinctive behavior of the Herrscher of Corruption, and that the Herrscher of Corruption would simply let her death slide with such an absurd act.
"Elysia, the Herrscher of Corruption's words are not credible at all. She said it was an accident, but judging from the plot, she had developed a desire not to die a long time ago. When Mei stepped onto Eternal Elysium, it already had its own will, not just instinct."
"Eden said softly."
Elysia knew that Eden was right. In the storyline of Eternal Elysium, the text chat when Eternal Elysium was first released already reflected the thoughts of the Herrscher of Corruption.
In order to survive.
Driven by this idea, it desires complete control over the Elysian Realm and wants to eliminate all destabilizing factors; it is not merely instinct, as it claims.
Unfortunately, at that time, they thought it was Vill-V's multiple personalities exchanging thoughts.
"Judging from these conversations, the Herrscher of Corruption clearly has not completely taken control of the Elysian Realm as it claims."
Mei leaned on Kevin's shoulder.
"What's the meaning?"
Kevin was puzzled.
"Fool."
May reached out and tapped Kevin's forehead.
"The Herrscher of Corruption is curious about how Mei defeated the Evil. Doesn't that mean it doesn't know that Vill-V has a true self? It didn't even know that Kalpas had told Aponia about it."
"Considering all these factors, can we still say that the Herrscher of Corruption has taken control of the Elysian Realm?"
Kevin couldn't help but nod.
The appearance of the Herrscher of Corruption and its attitude towards the Flame-Chasers caused viewers to hurl profanities, and they couldn't even turn on the subtitles, because if they did, they wouldn't be able to see the plot at all.
"Heh, this Herrscher of Corruption is like a parasite. To paraphrase Brother Jie, he's a disgusting piece of trash, not even worthy of being consumed by rage!"
"Having a pleasant conversation with Kalpas? That's laughable. It's obvious that my brother Jie was planning to destroy Elysian Realm, and it couldn't stand by and watch, so it stepped in. Besides, Brother Jie didn't mention a word about taking action."
"Judging from the Herrscher of Corruption's appearance and tone of voice, it's less like she corrupted Elysia, and more like Elysia corrupted her."
