The envy on Hen and Kosma's faces almost turned into sourness.

Kalpas adjusted his sunglasses.

Sue wasn't particularly envious, because he had also contributed to this devastating attack; it could be said that he and Kevin launched it together.

"He's so handsome!"

Little Knowledge couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Indeed, I'm a little envious."

Ling spoke instinctively.

As someone with very little screen time in the story, I'm truly envious of such a large amount of screen time.

"Well..."

Eden sighed.

"Kevin, Sue, and Pardo have probably vanished in this attack as well. Hopefully, it really did damage the Herrscher of Corruption. Even if it can't kill the Herrscher, it should at least severely injure her."

Kevin poured his life into the gun, Sue gave up all her data, and even Pardo sacrificed herself to pave the way for this shot.

The deaths of three Flame-Chasers brought about this devastating blow, but it is unlikely that it will be able to completely eliminate the Herrscher of Corruption.

Eden sighed heavily again.

This can be considered a different kind of one-click triple combo.

Pardo felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had a pent-up feeling of unease.

After Mei's famous scene of "I don't want to die," she was still feeling miserable about the deaths of Griseo and Kosma, but little did she know that she was the one who suffered the most.

They actually have to experience death twice.

"Isn't Yaqing afraid of receiving death threats in the mail?!"

Elysia's eyes reddened as she spoke in a huff.

He used to bury his head in the sand by writing someone else's name on the screenwriter's desk, but now he doesn't even act anymore. He seems completely unafraid of receiving death threats, and some radical fans have even gone offline to stab him.

"Of course he's not afraid. Who would dare send razor blades to Golden Courtyard?"

Vill-V smiled.

Putting aside the Golden Courtyard, Yaqing has already gone to Central Europe. Even if we send razor blades to the Far East branch of Schicksal, it won't make a difference.

If a hacker could actually find out Yaqing's address in Central Europe, then Schicksal should go bankrupt.

"Sister Pardo, do you know what cats should never do?"

Ling suddenly asked.

Faced with the sudden question, Pardo didn't react for a moment and subconsciously shook her head.

What can't cats do? Pardo, who owns a cat, can list a whole bunch, but when it comes to the most... well, you can't think of anything right now.

"Open the door."

Bell blinked.

"..."

Pardo stared with dead fish eyes.

Of course she knew what opening the door meant; both of her deaths were related to doors, whether it was unlocking the Mei or leading the way for Kevin.

Sakura rang the bell in annoyance. Pardo had just witnessed her own death, wasn't the bell deliberately rubbing salt into her wounds?

But...

Sakura turned her face away, not wanting Pardo to see the expression on her face.

The devastating attack transformed into blazing flames, piercing through the chest of the Herrscher of Corruption. It was only then that the two combatants were able to see the full extent of the attack.

That was a strike that no one could withstand, a strike that clearly demonstrated what "destruction" truly meant.

That was the strike that once led everyone to cross the [Finality].

Having withstood a devastating blow, the usually calm and Herrscher of Corruption was also severely injured, her eyes filled with rage.

Hua could sense that something had disappeared from the Herrscher of Corruption's body.

The Herrscher of Corruption was truly enraged at this moment. Her instinct to survive led her to cause all of this, which is why she was almost completely consumed by anger when she saw Kevin and the others sacrifice themselves.

Like Yandere's thoughts, the Herrscher of Corruption decided that she would let Hua live, live forever, until one day, in the long course of her life, she would personally admit how incredibly foolish her companions were.

The Herrscher of Corruption struck again.

"What a terrifying Yandere..."

Pardo's body trembled slightly.

If it's just in anime, Yandere is indeed a point that attracts fans to female characters, but if Yandere appeared in real life, people would probably stay as far away as possible.

"Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, I quite admire the Herrscher of Corruption."

Little Knowledge tsk tsk.

Using a long period of time to deal with Fu Hua, attempting to torture her into admitting how foolish her former comrade was. What genius came up with this plan?

It's important to understand that Fu Hua has protected the current civilization for thousands of years and is revered as the Scarlet Bird Immortal by the Shenzhou. It would be a tremendous miracle if she could be persuaded by the Herrscher of Corruption of Corruption with just a few words.

Even most viewers couldn't help but leave comments and criticisms.

It's easy to imagine how speechless the Herrscher of Corruption's actions were.

Even if she was severely injured, the Herrscher of Corruption was far beyond Hua's ability to defeat. Hua could only barely resist the Herrscher of Corruption and had to endure the Herrscher of Corruption's strange and sarcastic manner.

Hua advised the Herrscher of Corruption to stop trying to convince herself; aside from being both weak, the two women were on completely different paths.

The Herrscher of Corruption thought Hua was referring to himself as Herrscher and offered Hua sarcastic encouragement.

"That's exactly why... we can't persuade them."

Hua Jingjing looked at the Herrscher of Corruption.

"You can't understand this feeling. As fellow weaklings, your choice is to become stronger. But humanity's choice is to join hands with other weaklings. Sacrifice is just one means of it; there's nothing special about it."

When the Herrscher of Corruption heard Hua's words, the Yandere smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she rested her arm on her other arm.

"So, Hua, are you trying to compare... which of these two ways of life is the right one?"

The Herrscher of Corruption's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"There's no need for comparison; these two are fundamentally different. What you've chosen is called 'survival,' while what humanity has chosen... is called 'civilization'!"

Hua clenched his fists.

Just as she said, they had nothing in common except that they were both weak.

"I just wanted to answer your question."

Hua's face was full of determination.

"Since this will be their choice, then... my choice will naturally be the same."

The Herrscher of Corruption seemed to understand what Hua was about to do, and her eyes widened in surprise. She still couldn't comprehend the human emotion of sacrifice and wanted to stop her, but she couldn't stop her at all.

Hua looked into her palm and saw a feather gradually emerge. She seemed to see her past, from confusion to determination, from bewilderment to understanding.

She made the same choice as the other Flame-Chasers.

"Feather of the Wind, please help me one last time."

Hua's voice was very soft.

"Then you'll understand..."

Himiko's silhouette reappeared in her mind.

"What can I do?"

She had asked Himiko this question when they first met, and now she had finally found the answer.

"First rated power... Let me break free from constraints once again!"

The feathers slowly dissolved into specks of light, and Hua Huan's life vanished in that instant, transforming into a massive crimson sword in the sky, like two suns soaring overhead, like stars extinguished, falling towards the Herrscher of Corruption!

Everyone who witnessed this scene was not only amazed, but also deeply moved.

The first time I was amazed by the special effects of Honkai Impact 3rd was during the first movie when Fu Hua unleashed her full power. And this time, Hua is burning her memories once again.

For memory, burning memories is no less than death.

"Hua... still made her choice..."

Even though they knew Hua's sacrifice was inevitable, when they actually saw it, a feeling of sadness still filled the hearts of everyone in the Golden Courtyard.

They knew Flame-Chasers would be stabbed, but they didn't expect Yaqing to be so ruthless, not intending to spare a single one.

"Well..."

I don't know who sighed first.

Fu Hua's decision did not surprise them. Even in reality, Fu Hua had repeatedly sacrificed himself by burning his memories.

Little Knowledge, in particular, would recall the scene when Fu Hua sacrificed herself in the story, reminding her of her first appearance when Fu Hua was willing to sacrifice herself to eliminate her.

"I think Hua is right. The biggest difference between the Herrscher of Corruption and humans is that she will sacrifice everything for survival, while humans will choose to sacrifice themselves for the continuation of civilization."

Eden swirled the wine glass in his hand, the bright red liquid constantly colliding with the glass.

"Eden, you're wrong. There is another person who would choose to sacrifice himself for the continuation of civilization."

"Vill-V said with a smile."

Eden was taken aback, but quickly realized who Vill-V was referring to, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Even though they were just data entities, and even though the current civilization had nothing to do with them, the Flame-Chasers still chose to sacrifice themselves."

Elysia was taken aback.

Deep down, she still hoped that Flame-Chasers's sacrifice was to eliminate the Herrscher of Corruption, rather than to buy time to resurrect her.

Elysia instinctively wanted to escape.

She is not Herrscher, nor Flame-Chasers, nor a warrior fighting against the Honkai; she is just an ordinary person.

Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

For a memory entity, burning its memories is tantamount to death, but Fu Hua doesn't care about that. She is relieved that even if she burns all of her data, she won't leave a trace for the Herrscher of Corruption.

That's enough; at least it won't make the Herrscher of Corruption stronger.

"Next... is my exit."

Fu Hua stared blankly at the big screen, lost in thought.

Su's portrait hasn't shattered yet, Fu Hua guesses it must have shattered along with her, since two other people shattered together before. So Aponia and Eden, who are left, will probably shatter together as well.

No one believes that Flame-Chasers could survive.

Even after Elysia's resurrection, they were not certain and doubted whether she would survive the same fate as in her past life.

Let alone Flame-Chasers, they all had doubts about whether the Elysian Realm could even be preserved.

The sword fell.

The surrounding scenery all turned into dazzling white light.

Having taken two full-force attacks in quick succession, the Herrscher of Corruption clutched her chest, her body flashing wildly.

Burning memories in the space of data is equivalent to erasing oneself. Hua has also reached the end of her road. Although she cannot completely destroy the Herrscher of Corruption, she does not regret it, because the other party can no longer maintain the appearance of Elysia.

The faded fairy's appearance temporarily disappeared, and she reverted to her original mechanical form, which was completely unrecognizable as human, looking like two pillars supporting a television set.

"The Herrscher of Corruption, this... is our true objective."

Hua put one hand on his hip.

When the Herrscher of Corruption reverted to her original form, she panicked completely, or rather, she became furious.

Fu Hua stated that, just as the Herrscher of Corruption said, they were indeed unable to eliminate the Herrscher of Corruption; despite their efforts, they ultimately sacrificed themselves.

But that's the key point: if the Herrscher of Corruption wants to seize control of No. 666, she must become Elysia herself and transform herself by constantly acquiring the memories of other Flame-Chasers.

The Herrscher of Corruption were incredulous; they had known all along.
