Heroes Have Their Way of Living, and Ordinary People Have Theirs.

Because she was a mortal, but also one of the Flame-Chasers, a warrior bearing the name of the Empty Dream.

"Empty Dream, Empty Dream, in the end it's just an empty dream?"

Fu Hua remained silent, only relentlessly attacking her teammates.

"... Hua, actually, Pardo isn't necessarily going to die..."

Fu Hua merely glanced at Sakura upon hearing this.

"... Sakura, do you even believe what you're saying?"

"Well..."

Sakura couldn't even convince herself, let alone Fu Hua.

Even though Pardo finished guiding the way, opened the door, and then turned and ran, successfully dodging Kevin's full-force attack, the aftershocks of the attack were still something Pardo couldn't withstand.

"Besides, Sakura, do you think Yaqing would give up such a perfect opportunity to kill someone?"

Sakura covered her face.

I have an urge to cover Fu Hua's mouth.

Whether it's rigidity or cunning, every word Fu Hua utters is a blow to her teammates, as if she wouldn't be happy unless she makes them cry.

Didn't you see that Pardo had her head down?

Bowing her head wasn't a sign of disappointment; Pardo gritted her teeth.

"If Yaqing comes back now, we... we'll definitely bite him hard!"

"Well..."

Sakura glanced at Pardo. Although her figure wasn't particularly sexy, it was still quite curvaceous. However, because of her personality, they always forgot that Pardo was actually a beauty.

For men, this is not a punishment, but a reward.

Meanwhile, at this very moment, far away in Central Europe...

When Mobius saw this, he couldn't help but think to himself.

Is Yaqing really not planning to return to the Golden Courtyard?

It's incredible that someone can die twice.

No, counting the time Previous Era, Pardo should be considered to have died three times.

"Yaqing... I admit you're a real man!"

Ziegfried gave a thumbs up.

"..."

Yaqing did not answer.

He really regrets going back to Central Europe now. Originally, it might have just been a beating, but now the buffs are stacking up more and more, and going back will probably result in a group beating.

"Snakey... how about we wait until the web series is released before going back?"

Yaqing said in a low voice.

"Do you think that's possible? With a lab rat?"

Mobius gave a half-smile.

Yaqing suddenly realized that if they waited for the web series to come out, they probably wouldn't be able to leave, Kallen and Otto...

580

Chapter 580 Heroes have their way of living, and ordinary people have theirs.

"What a waste of time. I should have just ignored her from the start."

Walking through the streets of Changkong City, Pardo muttered to herself, her back view giving off a somewhat lonely feeling.

As Vill-V said, the back door did maintain Pardo's sense of self, but there was still one thing she couldn't control: the girl named Pardo Felice didn't seem to be the kind of person who had any sense of self-awareness.

"Really... why do we have to fight to the death? Isn't it good to live in this illusion? We... are just data after all."

Pardo tried her best to comfort herself.

It seems like an attempt to convince oneself to comfortably indulge in the illusion of perfection and infinity.

But there was still an indescribable feeling stuck in her heart.

"Everything here is perfect, this is the life I've always wanted, so why... do I still feel dissatisfied?"

Pardo's voice was trembling with sobs, a mixture of grievance and fear.

But how could she, burdened by the oath of the Empty Dream, simply indulge in such a thing?

"Okay... okay, since only I can do it... just this once! The last time!"

Pardo ultimately couldn't convince herself to continue indulging in this obsession, and she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"Boss Kevin, please don't move too fast..."

Pardo ran towards that location; if she could use the Chijie Yicheng to guide Kevin's attack there, she could immediately escape.

"..."

Pardo's soliloquy only made the audience feel more heartbroken. Despite being so afraid of death, the Kitty was still willing to sacrifice herself for others.

Thinking back to when Pardo first appeared, they suspected that Pardo was hiding her strength while claiming to be weak, and they immediately wanted to slap themselves twice.

"Pardo ... if I could, I truly wish Pardo could follow her heart..."

Elysia looked pained and dared not look.

How can anyone die three times?!

Kitty is just an ordinary person who accidentally gained power. She is somewhat greedy and cowardly. Her greatest wish is simply to have her own little stall in this Honkai and ravaged world.

The more ordinary the wish, the more it touches their hearts.

"Elysia, you're wrong. Pardo was willing to guide Kevin's all-out attack because she was following her heart. Between herself and her companions, she ultimately chose her companions."

Eden gazed at the big screen.

Even the most ordinary person has their own shining moments.

The beautiful illusion woven by the Herrscher of Corruption is just an illusion to other Flame-Chasers, but for Pardo, everything in the illusion is her dream.

As Pardo said, even though they are already data, it makes no difference to her whether they live in the illusion of the Herrscher of Corruption or in the Elysian Realm.

Even so, the timid Pardo still chose to help her companion, even though... she was most afraid of dying.

"I hope the screenwriter can be lenient with Pardo. Even if she lives in the data space of the erosion, I can accept it."

Bell puts her hands together in prayer position.

Sakura opened her mouth, but remained silent.

Rin's idea is too naive. Even if Pardo can live in the data space of the Herrscher of Corruption, Pardo will still die after Mei or Elysia defeat the Herrscher of Corruption.

Whether they die sooner or later, Sakura felt that, based on her understanding of the screenwriter, at least Pardo's death would bring them another round of tears.

Pardo quickly found the location that Vill-V had mentioned and tried to open the door with the Chijie Yicheng. However, just as Pardo was about to leave, the passage began to slowly shrink.

"Is it because the scale is too large to sustain itself...?"

Seeing this, Pardo felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She knelt helplessly on the ground, her face filled with despair.

Her hands trembled as she watched the door grow smaller and smaller.

"I don't care... I don't care! The life I want is so simple, just to bask in the sun and take a nap... Just for this kind of life, do I have to work myself to the bone again and again?"

Pardo struggled to her feet, lowered her head, and headed in the direction she had left.

Without external factors, this passage obviously wouldn't last long, but for the maintainer, being within the range of Kevin's full-force attack, the outcome was also obvious.

"Sister Vill-V... did you know from the beginning that things would turn out this way...?"

Pardo murmured to herself.

"???"

They initially thought that Pardo would be able to run away as soon as the door opened, but the screenwriter didn't give Pardo any hope of survival.

The Kitty must keep the door open while within its attack range.

"How could this happen... We're alive, what divine law have we broken?"

Pardo stared blankly at her own despair in the story, and she seemed to be able to feel that deep despair as well. Waiting to die is the most painful emotion of all deaths.

She had already made up her mind, but now that things are developing... isn't this just forcing her to wait to die?

Vill-V swallowed hard.

She seemed to be able to feel the murderous gazes around her.

"Vill-V, what kind of bullshit plan did you devise? It requires sacrificing two people to complete the final step."

Vill-V stared in horror at Kalpas's fist.

Kalpas ultimately did not make a move.

"That has nothing to do with me... This plot was written by Yaqing. The grievances should be directed at Yaqing!"

Vill-V quickly absolved herself of all responsibility.

If the character of Vill-V displays a genius in the story, she will certainly accept it gladly. But if it provokes public outrage, then Vill-V can only say, "It's better to die for others than for myself."

"We... we should run, right? We won't just stand there and wait to die, will we? The choices that Yaqing writes for the characters are just like our own. If we just stand there and wait to die, wouldn't that be out of character?"

Pardo was talking to herself, not so much trying to convince others as she was trying to convince herself.

"We don't have the power of Boss Kevin and Sister Elysia, nor the self-sacrificing spirit of Brother Jie, nor the heroic ambition of Griseo and Kosma. We're just ordinary people, and even becoming Fusion Warrior was an accident. Why did this choice have to fall on us?!"

The more Pardo talked, the more aggrieved she felt.

As the old saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up, but now the most important decision has fallen on her, an ordinary person.

When Vill-V saw Pardo crying, she suddenly realized that she had gone too far. Then she suddenly realized that she hadn't written the plot, so why should she feel guilty?

The Evil chooses to strike, and the id is pushed out again, looking completely bewildered.

"The courage to stay is unmatched by any emotion. To withstand the full force of the Judgement of Shamash is to treat Pardo as the Finality!"

Little Knowledge blurted it out.

The last one to withstand Kevin's full-force attack was the Finality Herrscher.

Even the Finality of the world would require a 12-hour system outage.

"I refuse to believe that Kevin's full-force attack can withstand this thing!"

Little Knowledge gritted his teeth.

Fu Hua shook her head.

Kevin's all-out attack before her, combined with the combined assault from "herself" outside, would likely be too much for the Herrscher of Corruption to withstand, but...

If the Herrscher of Corruption dies like this, the Crystal Flower's purpose will be lost.

If that's the case, then something unexpected is bound to happen.

"No, no matter what I say, it won't work... I... I'm terrified of dying!"

Pardo said, trembling, her voice choked with sobs, making no attempt to hide her fear and sorrow.

Against this somber background music, the rather slender figure of Pardo makes one feel even more sorry for her.

"Let the heroes do the things. I... I'm just a mortal."

Recalling the scene of that attack that completely engulfed her, Pardo seemed to smell the scent of herself being burned to ashes.

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and she quickened her pace to escape.

"In reality, I must have done the same thing."

"Is that the decision you're making?"

"Going to the moon to fight the Finality is something I'm too weak to do! Besides... I'm... best at running away, how could I possibly die there?"

"That's right, that's right... In reality, I am one."
