"Klein... Klein?"

Mobius called out to Klein, but received no answer. Klein fell into a deep sleep as the virus left her body.

"... How ugly. Don't you even have the strength to say goodbye?"

With an inscrutable expression, Mobius approached Klein.

"However, this is also a good thing. Snakes... don't want anyone to witness their 'end'."

Mobius gazed at the sleeping Klein and smiled slightly.

"Just get some sleep, and when you wake up again... you'll be free."

Mobius felt a pang of pity.

When Klein awakens again, her 50,000-year-old duty has vanished. She must find a reason to live again and face the uncertain future with her own will—a difficult and terrifying task.

But for Mobius, she may never know what words he actually left for Klein.

Mobius's phantom appeared in front of Klein, stretching out his arms as if to embrace Klein, or perhaps as a final hug before parting.

"The future is another kind of infinity I will create for you. Goodbye, my understanding one..."

Mobius's figure slowly faded away in the green light, leaving only her final blessing to Klein.

That was the gentlest tone of Mobius's voice that the audience had ever heard.

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.

Whether it's Central Europe, the Golden Courtyard, or every viewer who witnessed this scene.

A lingering sadness welled up in my heart.

Chapter 577 The Herrscher of Corruption Completely Breaks Through Defenses and the One Who Opens the Way

"Well..."

A long, drawn-out sigh finally drifted over.

Mobius severed the only passage between the Elysian Realm and reality, not only giving up the hope of living again, but also completely sealing the Herrscher of Corruption within the Elysian Realm.

"It really was a plot-driven death..."

Mei couldn't help but sigh.

She believed in Mobius's abilities; if he truly mastered the power of corruption, he could probably defeat the Herrscher of Corruption single-handedly. However, the plot took an unexpected turn, and Mobius died for Klein.

Mei had to admire Yaqing's screenwriting skills.

If Mobius had mastered the power of corruption and still lost to the Herrscher of Corruption, then the entire team would have been criticized. However, if Mobius had mastered the power of corruption and defeated the Herrscher of Corruption, then the subsequent plot would have no way to develop.

At this dilemma, Yaqing chose to have Mobius sacrifice himself for Klein, which not only did not feel abrupt, but also moved many viewers to tears.

"Mobius ..."

The sentimental Elysia cried her heart out.

"As expected, Brother Yaqing understands Sister Snake very well. I didn't find the scene of Sister Snake's sacrifice abrupt at all; on the contrary, I felt it was very reasonable."

Perhaps because Mobius was not around, Pardo gradually became bolder.

In fact, Merius often plays the role of a sharp-tongued and arrogant person, but everyone in the Golden Courtyard knows that she is a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Only Mobius himself did not know.

"Pardo, it would be even stranger if Yaqing didn't understand Mobius, wouldn't it?"

Sakura couldn't help but say.

She'd seen couples who were incompatible, but she'd never seen couples who were completely unfamiliar with each other.

"That's true."

Pardo scratched her head.

"Fortunately, the portrait of Mobius has already been broken. If it had been broken now, that would have been the final blow."

Kevin suddenly exclaimed.

The entire room fell silent!

Kevin seemed to realize it too, and touched his nose.

"Kevin, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Su's tone remained gentle, but...

"I just wanted some visuals."

Kevin scratched his head awkwardly.

"Want more footage? Heh... Okay, Kevin, you'll be training with me from now on, and I'll definitely give you more footage."

Kalpas tribulations sneered.

No!

Kevin recalled the consequences of his last workout with Kalpas; the next day, his hands trembled as he typed, and he let out a painful groan.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Central Europe.

Yaqing used some means to make Mobius shrink back into his arms.

When he saw his own sacrifice, Yaqing could feel Mobius's body trembling slightly.

"Xiao Yaqing, how about... I take you to get checked out in a couple of days?"

Kallen said with a serious expression.

"I feel very healthy."

Yaqing was puzzled. After returning to Central Europe, he ate well and didn't seem like a sick person at all.

"Grandma Kallen doesn't mean it's a physical ailment, but a mental one. To be able to write a story like this really makes one wonder if you... have some kind of mental illness, little brother."

Cecilia chimed in with an explanation.

Yaqing shut her mouth.

"Don't make things difficult for our great screenwriter, Kallen, Cecilia. Don't you think this plot is well-written? People who hate death and sacrifice sacrifice themselves for others at the end of their lives, thus giving up the hope of living..."

Otto became increasingly delusional as he spoke.

"This is what I have been hoping for... the will of the Saintess, the lofty ideal."

Kallen slapped her forehead.

Now there's one more person needing to see a psychologist.

Cecilia couldn't help but glance at Ziegfried.

Although Ziegfried was not as capable as Otto and Yaqing in terms of work ability, he was at least a normal person who would not suddenly have a fit of madness or have any hidden mental illness.

Ziegfried didn't know what to say at that moment.

He suddenly realized that he was still quite fortunate; despite having lost an arm and being imprisoned, he was still alive.

Durandal was eating her snacks obediently, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster.

The topics of adult conversation were irrelevant to her.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, another successful experimental case opened her eyes. It was Hua, feeling an unknown power suddenly boiling within her body, and before her was a strange scene.

The monsters that were once Herrscher of Corruption of Corruption are now surrounding her, eyeing her menacingly, seemingly about to launch an attack.

Due to memory loss, Hua is unaware of the current situation.

The Herrscher of Corruption stared intently at Hua. She didn't understand, nor could she comprehend how Alicia could love everyone equally, no matter what happened, even if she was hurt or betrayed. How did Elysia manage to do that in the face of such a situation?

"Nobody knows, which is why she is Elysia."

This is Hua's answer.

"So, you also think... I can't do this, and I can't become her?"

The Herrscher of Corruption put one hand on her hip, no longer mimicking Elysia's tone.

The answer was obvious. There was no need to hear Hua's reply; the Herrscher of Corruption herself acknowledged it, letting out a laugh reminiscent of Yandere.

Since I can't be Elysia, then let all the things I can't convince myself to love disappear!

"This is... a breach in defense?"

Sakura hesitated for a moment.

The Herrscher of Corruption's Yandere laughter startled everyone.

Pardo shuddered.

Rin huddled even closer to Sakura.

"It's good that she broke down. I can't stand her. She imitates Elysia and says some disgusting things."

Little Knowledge clapped.

"So another successful case of the experiment was the old antique? Does that mean the old antique can also teach the Herrscher of Corruption a lesson?!"

Little Knowledge regrets that Mobius failed to teach the Herrscher of Corruption a lesson.

There is a chain of restraint, and Flame-Chasers cannot even touch the Herrscher of Corruption, which has led the audience to look forward to the existence of someone who can beat up the Herrscher of Corruption and give them a good venting.

"It's good enough if we can buy some time."

Fu Hua had not forgotten her mission.

The goal is to stop the Herrscher of Corruption and buy Mei time.

Eden didn't speak, but swirled his wine glass.

"Heh, at least she has some self-awareness."

Kalpas crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

It's fair to say that no one in the Golden Courtyard can stand the Herrscher of Corruption.

Seeing the Herrscher of Corruption break through her defenses felt like drinking an ice-cold cola on a hot summer day.

The Herrscher of Corruption, whose defenses had been breached, immediately ordered the monsters to launch an attack.

Having gained new power, Hua realized that the gap between her and the Herrscher of Corruption was no longer so huge, but this battle still could not be called evenly matched.

Losing patience, the Herrscher of Corruption no longer held back, and Hua quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. After that arrow was shot, Hua knelt on the ground.

Farewell, Hua.

Just as the Herrscher of Corruption was about to completely defeat Hua, the scene shifted to a flashback.

The audience's tension immediately turned into excitement, because they knew that once the protagonist of the good guys started the flashback, he would unleash his full power, greatly increasing his combat strength and directly wiping out the gap between them!

Believe, because belief needs no reason!

It was another flashback with Himiko, and Hua asked that question again.

I want to know what I can do.

Himiko's answer remained the same as before.

But for Hua now, time has come to an end. This is the last chance. The person is gone, Himiko can no longer tell Hua the answer to that question.

Just as the Herrscher of Corruption thought it was over and turned to look for Mei, a blazing fire pierced through her chest, bursting open from the inside out, like a star being annihilated.

"No, it's not over yet, Herrscher of Corruption."

Hua slowly stood up and stood before the Herrscher of Corruption.

She truly didn't know what she could do, nor what she was fighting for, but humans don't live by purpose.

Since death is the inevitable end, why does humanity keep forging a future? Hua couldn't give an answer, but like humanity before her, she said to herself.

"Let's proceed cautiously and observe carefully... we should not be afraid."

"!!!!"

Immediately, every spectator who witnessed this scene became excited.
