The Incompetent Husband, Kiana.

It also realized that the reason Griseo and Kosma chose to erase it was not because they were afraid its power would increase, but to prevent it from getting close to Elysia again.

Griseo and Kosma chose to delete themselves, as did Sue, Pardo, Kevin, and Hua Du in front of them.

This is the real opportunity.

From beginning to end, they never intended to eliminate the Herrscher of Corruption; instead, they sought to eliminate themselves.

"So ugly..."

If the Herrscher of Corruption disguised as Elysia and the appearance of the Faded Fairy could attract some fans, then the mechanical form itself is utterly uninteresting.

Little Knowledge blurted out, his face full of disgust.

"What a surprising twist."

After a long silence, Vill-V burst out laughing.

Her plan did not fail!

From beginning to end, the goal was not to kill the Herrscher of Corruption, but to kill Flame-Chasers himself.

"No wonder she turned into Elysia. Out of her pursuit of beauty, the Herrscher of Corruption was not lying."

Eden has no discriminatory connotations.

Given the choice between the appearance of a mechanical being and Elysia's looks, any normal person would make the choice.

Moreover, Eden is a fan of Elysia.

"Sometimes I really want to call the police..."

Kevin couldn't even imagine what would happen if the Herrscher of Corruption transformed into Mei's appearance, and if she hadn't recognized her yet, at night... while preparing to do that, the Herrscher of Corruption suddenly revealed her true form.

"This can't really be considered a case of deception based on appearance. After all, the story initially stated that the Herrscher of Corruption is a machine, not a robot. How much could you expect her to be beautiful?"

Mei noticed a hint of offense in Kevin's eyes and glared at him.

The Herrscher of Corruption was filled with anger and confusion. If they couldn't even bring Elysia back to life, why did they believe that Raiden Mei could?!

Hua expressed her belief that there was no need to reason with her... She believed Mei because, compared to the Herrscher of Corruption, Mei possessed not only data but also memories.

"Now, you have lost everything: the path to the outside world, the chance to stop Mei, and the means to seize the program."

Hua's words, to the ears of the Herrscher of Corruption, were like a death sentence.

"And the changes Elysia brought to Mei, the marks she left on her... that is the real key to her being able to defeat you."

Even at this point, the Herrscher of Corruption still refused to believe that she would fail. She wanted to corrupt Hua as before. She would not allow Hua to die and had to let Hua live so that she could witness her victory!

"It's too late."

Hua said softly, his fists clenched tightly.

Although there are no signs of corruption on her body, her data will be completely and utterly destroyed when the power of corruption takes effect.

"In the grand scheme of things, we are indeed losers. But for the future... Herrscher of Corruption, that duel that allowed us to become pioneers..."

"Now is the beginning...!"

As Hua finished speaking, the camera returned to the familiar scene.

The audience has stopped crying because they've become numb.

They watched helplessly as the three portraits shattered simultaneously: Hua, Su, and Aponia.

Thus, the Elysian Realm belongs to only one person, Flame-Chasers are about to become history.

"Eh..."

Himeko hid alone in the faculty dormitory, drinking and watching dramas.

Upon witnessing the death of his student, he finally couldn't help but sigh.

"To explore..."

Himeko's face was flushed from drinking, and she seemed to be slightly tipsy.

"To explore new frontiers means to follow the paths that predecessors have not yet trod, and to travel even further..."

This is the meaning of Hua's last sentence.

She hopes that the current civilization can go further than the Previous Era, until it overcomes the Honkai.

Let time prove her duel with the Herrscher of Corruption.

"Right now, Theresa is probably calling me Little Pearl in the office..."

Himeko couldn't help but smile.

582

Chapter 582 The Incompetent Husband Kialana.

A silence fell over the Golden Courtyard.

I watched as three portraits shattered at the same time.

You can imagine how they felt.

"Wait... what's wrong with Sister Nia?"

Little Knowledge suddenly spoke up.

Because there were no gaps between the knives, they almost forgot about Aponia.

"Little Knowledge, wasn't Sister Nia already corrupted when she helped Mobius? It's just that because Mobius, Pardo, Kevin, Sue, and my knife didn't give the audience any chance to breathe, it only shattered now."

Fu Hua finally realized that her guess was wrong.

Aponia's portrait wasn't unbroken, but rather it didn't have time to break. Although many people wielded knives, the portraits of Pardo, Mobius, and Kevin had already been shattered, while Aponia's portrait remained until now.

"..."

Nobody wanted to talk.

Because not long ago, they had made a bold statement.

When Griseo and Kosma's portraits shattered together, they joked that maybe three more would shatter together later.

I didn't expect it to appear so quickly.

"I never expected that I would be the one to survive in the end."

Eden's smile was full of helplessness.

She herself never imagined that she would survive to the end against the Herrscher of Corruption.

"Elysia, why aren't you crying?"

Sakura finally realized that something was wrong.

In the past, whenever someone's portrait shattered, Elysia would cry uncontrollably. But this time, three portraits shattered at once, and surprisingly, no one heard Elysia crying.

Sakura still felt a little uncomfortable.

As the most melancholy person in the Golden Courtyard, besides Yaqing.

"Sakura, I..."

Elysia opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

In short, Elysia was numb from the knife and couldn't cry at all.

"Well."

A thousand words cannot express the weight of this sigh.

"It's not surprising that Eden survived to the end, after all, she knows Elysia the best among us."

Perhaps everyone in Golden Courtyard is Elysia fan, but Eden is definitely number one.

As if by magic, Vill-V produced the same red wine as Eden.

Eden paused for a moment, then smiled gently.

The two wine glasses clinked together with a crisp sound.

Eden accepted Vill-V's praise.

"Give me a drink too."

Little Knowledge sneaked up to Vill-V's side, seemingly worried about being noticed by Fu Hua.

"Children are not allowed to drink alcohol."

Vill-V Little Knowledge closer and closer to her pretty face with her high instep.

"Hmm... I'm already 22!"

Little Knowledge puffed out his cheeks in anger.

"Psychological age is also age."

Eden patted Little Knowledge's head.

It looks frizzy, but surprisingly feels great to the touch.

After being humiliated by Eden and Vill-V, Little Knowledge sneaked back to the old antique's side.

"Old timer, you really gave us a good dressing down!"

Little Knowledge patted Fu Hua on the shoulder.

Just the fact that Fu Hua ripped off the Herrscher of Corruption's suit with a single sword strike was incredibly satisfying.

It feels like a favorite virtual streamer has been controlled by a company, and the real person behind the avatar has gone from a beautiful young girl to an old lady, which is quite unsettling.

The atmosphere gradually became somber.

They didn't initially think the Flame-Chasers would be killed, since they were originally memory entities, and the writers couldn't possibly kill "dead people," could they?

[Wait, what? Elysia died?! Holy crap! Kevin died too?!]

Later, it gradually became, "The screenwriter portrayed Thirteen Flame-Chasers so well, surely they shouldn't all be killed off? The screenwriter isn't a devil."

[How did Mobius suddenly die?! Pardo!! Vill-V... wait, Griseo dead too?!]

Until now.

[Haha, dead! They're all dead!!!]

"I never expected it to turn out like this. Thinking back to when Mei first Elysian Realm, it feels like so much time has passed."

Mei sighed.

Even though only a little over a month has passed since the release of the Elysian Realm, they feel as if more than half a century has gone by.

"Back then, Mei was forced into becoming a famous detective by you riddle enthusiasts."

Since Little Knowledge is not among the Flame-Chasers, he can freely make his own evaluations.

"I suddenly have a question: what if Mei fails to win back Elysia, or fails to defeat the Herrscher of Corruption?"

Sakura's imagination ran wild.

"What can we do? Just let it go! We'll finish this off with a single Heavenly Fire!"

Kevin shouted.

If they truly fail, it means that all Flame-Chasers have been corrupted and wiped out. Since all paths to reality have been blocked, Kevin from the outside world can naturally take action and destroy the Elysian Realm.

When she heard Kevin mention Skyfire, Pardo's body trembled slightly.

Ever since that time she died after opening the door, Pardo has developed a psychological trauma related to heavenly fire.

"Don't be so violent."

May hit Kevin.

"It would be such a pity if Herrscher like these were wiped out all at once."

Mei adjusted her glasses.

Only then did everyone realize that Mei was the most ruthless one.

After the three portraits shattered simultaneously, the camera returned to Mei.
