A Healer's Kindness, the Coolest Finishing Blow.
"Sakura, you made the right choice. You upheld... your pride as an older sister."
Elysia cried uncontrollably.
It was at this moment that they truly learned the truth about the horrific tragedy of the erosion.
They initially believed that Rin was the candidate for Herrscher, but she was forcibly imprisoned and eventually killed by soldiers influenced by the rules. Sakura did everything in her power to prepare to rescue her sister.
However, things were far more complicated than they seemed. Rin voluntarily allowed herself to be taken away so that others would not face greater threats because of her. Sakura went against her sister's wishes and ultimately sacrificed her own life to uphold her pride as an older sister.
One slash after another, giving the audience no chance to react.
"Big sister..."
Ling's eyes were brimming with tears, and her lips were trembling.
I can't say what I want to say because of my emotions.
Sakura hugged Rin tightly, leaning on her shoulder.
"Rin, no matter what choice you make, as your older sister, I will not watch you die."
"Sister... wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow..."
When Ling heard these words, she could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears.
"So that's how it is..."
Su was also taken aback by this development.
Rin's willingness to leave with the Moth Chasing Fire is probably not only because she doesn't want others to bear the threat she poses, but also because she fears that Sakura will betray the Moth Chasing Fire for her sake and be labeled a deserter.
Seriously... I need to pee.
Sakura and Rin's slash happened a long time after the events of the Sea of Quanta, and they never expected that this slash would linger for so long.
The screen was immediately filled with viewers' "friendly greetings" to the screenwriter.
Far away in Central Europe, there was silence, an eerily silent silence.
"Now I understand why you rushed back in such a hurry."
Mobius sighed, breaking the silence.
Yaqing could only give an awkward smile.
This is nothing!
The key part is yet to come.
"So, Sakura... will you still believe in me? Just like before?"
Elysia took two steps forward and gently hugged Sakura.
Sakura didn't make a sound, but simply let her body release its strength and fall against the other person's neck.
"You all did your best."
Elysia said softly.
The final sob escaped from who knows who, and then silence fell for a moment.
"Congratulations to Elysia for winning another title."
At this touching moment, Little Knowledge suddenly said something that completely ruined the mood.
Everyone was taken aback by what they heard.
But looking at the plot, it does seem more and more familiar to Little Knowledge. If Elysia continues to comfort her, she might actually be able to break through Sakura's defenses.
"Hehe."
Eden didn't know what to say.
Elysia is kind to everyone, so she seems to have a bit of a thing with Mobius, Sakura, Mei, etc.
Fortunately, Eden didn't care about this, otherwise the number of virtual rivals would be unimaginable.
Wait... what rival in love?!

Chapter 567 A Doctor's Benevolent Heart, The Most Handsome Slash.
After embracing for a while, Elysia and Sakura finally calmed down.
Sakura then told Elysia that she had actually been hiding something from them.
Because of the fusion factor of [Yaksha], she has an extraordinary sense of aura. In the special place of the Elysian Realm, in the chaotic realm where memories are entangled, she also captured the ending of Elysia, in addition to Rin.
But she wasn't the one who possessed the memories; however, by sensing the subtle emotions of the people involved, she believed it must have been a beautiful ending.
"Beauty..."
The audience became even more confused about the banquet.
Sakura actually said it was a beautiful ending?
All they know so far is that the banquet was an explosion of information, marking the birth and fall of the Thirteenth Herrscher; beyond that, they know nothing.
But death... it has nothing to do with beauty, does it?
They were very confused, but could not get an answer.
However, at that moment, Elysia suddenly disappeared from Sakura's sight, and the instant she sensed a certain aura, a terrifying horror followed.
Then the screen went completely black.
A moment of disorientation.
Sakura tried to wake up from the nightmare and gradually regained control of her body's sensations. She didn't know how much time had passed, but the terrifying aura in her memory still clung to her like a bone-deep infection.
"Don't panic, Sakura, it's me."
Just as Ying was cautiously looking around, Su's voice suddenly rang in her ear.
The screen lit up again, and what appeared before Sakura and the audience was a radiant Crystal Flower and a Bodhi leaf.
Memories flooded back, and Sakura recalled how, in the face of life and death, she had frozen space with a single, Setsuna strike, barely escaping with her life.
Su bluntly stated that the situation outside was not as optimistic as it seemed, as the current generation's Herrscher of Corruption had already descended upon the Elysian Realm.
The word "erosion" was enough for Sakura to understand the situation. When she asked about Elysia's condition, Su's sigh was the only response, and she understood.
Su told Ying that he found her through the message left by Kalpas, as well as the riddle left by Vill-V. The stagnant space created by Ying's sword skills can stop the spread of erosion.
Sakura understood that her sword skills could only curb the spread of the erosion, not eradicate it completely. Thinking of this, she suddenly lowered her head, and the traces of the erosion were slowly disappearing.
"Su...? Where are you? I can't see you."
Sakura immediately had a bad feeling.
"I am right here. But... it is no longer convenient for me to show myself."
Su's voice was calm.
He stated that he replaced Sakura's data, giving her the parts that constituted him, and the audience could roughly guess the price he paid for doing so from Sakura's tone.
"I am ultimately a doctor, and it would be against my conscience to not save someone from drowning."
Although this is not a cure, but rather a substitute...
Su believed that Sakura's freedom of movement was more beneficial to the overall situation than his own safety. In the light, he returned the mask belonging to "Forget-Me-Not" to its owner, which Kalpas had kept for Sakura until now.
Sakura took the mask that was handed to her. A slight, warm sting came from her fingertips. She knew that it was the last remaining warmth that Kalpas had left on the mask.
She opened her mouth slightly, as if to say something, but no sound came out. After a long time, only four words fell softly to the ground.
"I see."
No further words are needed.
"So, what do you need me to do?"
Su told Sakura that Vill-V had left behind three puzzles, and he had only solved the first one. The remaining two were the key to breaking the deadlock, and he needed Sakura to reveal the second puzzle.
"Therefore, we must... face [death]."
The sad background music made everyone feel distressed.
Whether it was Su giving her life to Sakura, or the lingering warmth left on the mask by Kalpas.
Everything was telling them.
Elysian Realm has changed drastically. Elysia is dead, Mobius is dead, Pardo is dead, Vill-V is dead, Kevin is dead, Kalpas is dead...
"It's over, it's completely over. Even Brother Su has been corrupted!"
Pardo felt utterly desperate.
Su and Aponia have already been corrupted, Kosma and Griseo are still young, Sakura and Mei are about to fight the corruption head-on, Hua..., so the only one who can probably take on the responsibility next is Eden.
Poor Hua, Pardo didn't think of her.
"Is this the kind of offline service..."
Su muttered to herself.
"Not bad at all."
A smile appeared on Su's lips. As a doctor, he had a compassionate heart and did not expect to have no highlights in battle. If he died to save someone, it would not be a loss of a doctor's spirit.
"Su, remember to give the Crystal Flower to Ying before you die."
Kevin suddenly mentioned it.
Su's face immediately darkened.
He was quite satisfied with the way he died, but that doesn't mean he was happy when others told him he was dead.
"Su's sacrifice was not in vain. He freed Sakura from the sea of corruption. In direct combat, Sakura may be stronger than Su, after all, she has the Third Divine Key, the Purifying Thunder of Seven Sins."
Aponia looked compassionate and prayed with her hands clasped.
"His sacrifice deserves half a day of remembrance."
Upon hearing Aponia's voice, someone actually made the same prayer gesture as her, with Kevin being the first to do so, his expression as sorrowful as if Sue were truly dead.
Su was completely stunned.
In this atmosphere, it seemed as if it would be impolite for him not to die.
"Alright, Aponia, stop teasing Sue."
Eden interrupted Aponia with a smile.
Sue actually saw a hint of cunning in Aponia's beautiful eyes and couldn't help but shake her head.
Aponia, too, was corrupted in the Golden Courtyard, that great melting pot.
If Yaqing were here, he would surely wonder if it was because he had mentioned the story of the nun and the fish to Aponia.
I remember that day, after Aponia learned about the nun and the fish from Yaqing, she searched for it online out of curiosity. Then, even the gentle and maternal Aponia couldn't help but give Yaqing a lecture.
You should know that Aponia's strength is enough to easily stop Zed.
"Ah... Sakura was indeed rescued, but... can she and Mei really defeat the Herrscher of Corruption together?"
Elysia couldn't help but worry.
"Big sister can definitely do it!"
Having recovered from the sad story, Rin heard someone doubting her older sister and immediately spoke up to support her!
"That's true, and we believe in Sister Ying, but..."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Pardo's face.
"I really don't think Mei and Sakura can defeat the Herrscher of Corruption by working together."
Upon hearing this, Ling puffed out her cheeks.
"Alright, ring."
Sakura spoke helplessly.
"I am not invincible either. The Herrscher of Herrscher of Corruption's first attack almost killed me. Even Kevin, who still has the strength, had to take the risk. I don't think Mei and Mei can defeat the Herrscher of Corruption. The key point is the three mysteries left by Vill-V."
