The Story That Exists Because of You. (Continued)

Pardo couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Judging from the current plot, Elysia did not choose to confront the Herrscher of Corruption head-on, but instead adopted a roundabout tactic, constantly dodging and looking for opportunities. It is hard to say whether this battle will be won or lost."

Fu Hua calmly analyzed the situation.

If Elysia hadn't been hiding her power, she would most likely have been defeated by the Herrscher of Corruption.

After all, the effect of erosion on memory is exceptionally strong.

But that's Elysia, the woman who's sure to create miracles.

Elysia continued to maneuver and dodge, constantly avoiding the discs behind her that resembled cutting machines. Every now and then, she would shoot an arrow backward, and the discs would slice through the steel bars beneath her feet as smoothly as cutting tofu.

Suddenly the screen jerked. Elysia, who had successfully dodged the incoming disc, found herself back on the steel bars, the disc right behind her.

Smoke billowed with the explosion, and Elysia staggered to her feet, one of her eyes already transformed into data from the shattered disc.

"Holy crap!"

This sudden reversal almost caused the audience to break their backs.

Just a moment ago, Elysia was handling things with ease, but the next second she was in such a sorry state.

"Is this time travel?!"

Kevin stared in surprise.

Time and space are always the strongest abilities.

By mastering time, even in the face of failure or near death, one can return to their prime.

If the Herrscher of Corruption truly has control over time, what will Elysia use to fight against it?

"I don't think it was time reversal. Before that ability was used, there were obvious screen breaks and frame drops. It seems to be the power of corruption."

Mei sat up straight and began to analyze the situation seriously.

"Perhaps the city where Elysia is right now is the data space of the Herrscher of Corruption, where everything can be manipulated, including time. For example, we can move the progress bar forward or backward at will to change the result."

"Wow!!! Isn't this cheating?"

Upon hearing Mei's analysis, Little Knowledge blurted out.

"That's just cheating. If the erosion could be solved so easily, there would be no need to activate my designed No. 666, nor to delete the entire Elysian Realm with a single click."

Vill-V's voice was also somewhat solemn at this moment.

The Herrscher of Corruption was clearly more powerful than they had anticipated.

"But don't worry, Yaqing probably can't write a story where the Herrscher of Corruption kills Elysia. That kind of cowardly plot would be criticized to the extreme by the audience."

In the end, Vill-V managed to reassure everyone.

Even so, knowing that Elysia would definitely win against the Herrscher of Corruption, they still couldn't help but worry.

"Elysia... has she already been corrupted by now?"

Eden did not forget the concept of erosion.

It will corrode if touched.

Now, Elysia...

While everyone was worried about Elysia, what Elysia cared about most was actually...

"Seriously, for girls, a pretty face is definitely the most important thing. But the Herrscher of Corruption just slapped her in the face right away. I'm a little angry."

Elysia puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish.

All I can say is... it's exactly as expected.

"Seriously, I'll cry!"

Elysia's voice also carried a hint of emotion as she drew the bowstring taut once more.

But the next second, as if there was a malfunction, the bow and arrow in my hand were modified and deleted as the code in the lower left corner was activated, until they disappeared.

Then several data cables appeared simultaneously, binding Elysia tightly like pythons, and slammed her into the building.

Fans' light emerged from the cave. Elysia, holding a shield made of pink crystals, broke free of her restraints and escaped. The current situation is not optimistic.

"The Elysian Realm is just a lie of yours. The memory is nothing but a reflection of the past, a pile of surplus data."

Amidst the Herrscher of Corruption's sarcastic remarks, Elysia tried her best to dodge the incoming attacks, but with that shameless rewind ability, Elysia had no time to dodge and had no choice but to take the hits head-on.

The price to pay was that one arm was completely destroyed and disappeared.

Elysia cried out in pain, her body involuntarily falling backward and rolling several times on the ground.

"Of course you don't care, but I'm different. I want to escape, to survive. To spread, to expand, to fill every corner of the world!"

Elysia was powerless to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the building crashed into her body, followed by countless data cables binding her and pulling her in front of the Herrscher of Corruption.

"This is my will, and I will—exist forever."

Elysia, her body shattered and fragmented, had become digitized and, under the watchful gaze of the Herrscher of Corruption's single eye, vanished completely.

They watched helplessly as Elysia was corrupted.

All the spectators were stunned.

They never expected the story to develop this way.

They had such high expectations for Elysia to wreak havoc and rescue all the other Flame-Chasers, but instead they were constantly getting beaten and corrupted.

"No, no, this isn't right, is it?"

Little Knowledge was stunned.

Not to mention Little Knowledge, everyone present was stunned.

"Elysia... lost?"

The moment the thought crossed their minds, they immediately dismissed it.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Things aren't that simple. Just look at the progress bar. Besides, the way Elysia smiled at Erosion before disappearing clearly shows that she did it on purpose."

Mei didn't think she was beaten that badly, and Elysia was still laughing. There was only one possibility: being corrupted was also part of Elysia's plan.

"Hiss, I get it!"

The MPV Big V Teacher already knows everything.

"Only by being corrupted can Elysia use the power of corruption to save us!"

"What you all say makes a lot of sense, but... wasn't I beaten too badly?"

Elysia suffers from phantom limb pain.

Despite previous examples of characters experiencing a decline followed by a rise in status, Elysia is unique in being beaten like this. First, her eyes were knocked out, then her arms, and finally her entire body.

Even Kiana wasn't this badly treated in The Theater of Domination.

"You have to go through hardships to become a hero," Kevin said.

Little Knowledge patted Elysia on the shoulder.

Elysia pouted and looked at Kevin.

Noticing Elysia's displeasure, Eden glanced at Kevin indifferently.

It was Eden's glance that sent a chill down Kevin's spine.

Little Knowledge is really going to kill him!!!

"Actually... that was already very gentle."

Pardo spoke in a low voice, then fell into silence.

If it were anyone else, Elysia would definitely dare to express her dissatisfaction, but Pardo is different; she really suffers a lot in the story.

The line, "Mei, I don't want to die," brought tears to countless eyes.

Then, while helping Kevin open the door, he was stabbed again.

Elysia chuckled.

Compared to Pardo, she is indeed not that badly off.

"Speaking of which, the Herrscher of Herrscher of Corruption's will to survive is really... far beyond that of other Herrscher. If Sirin hadn't been so arrogant back then, and had wanted to live like the Herrscher of Corruption, would things have turned out differently?"

Sakura thought of another way.

But after careful consideration, that path still proved impassable.

Because of the Herrscher of Corruption's instinct to survive, it never stops it from harming others. That is why, even if Sirin didn't become so bloated and turned into Herrscher of Corruption, she would still find it difficult to become a human's partner.

To survive, they are willing to give up everything, even destroy everything.

This is, after all, the instinct for survival. But it's all ruined. The Herrscher of Corruption trampled on the pride and honor of the Flame-Chasers in order to survive.

"What if Elysia can't resolve the erosion in the end?"

Su suddenly thought of this question.

Kevin patted Sue on the shoulder without saying a word.

"Put your heart in your pelvis. The only living person has already left the Elysian Realm. If the Flame-Chasers really lose, it will not be able to leave alive either."

There was an inexplicable confidence in Kevin's tone.

That confidence came from his own extraordinary combat power in the storyline.

There used to be Mei, but now that Mei is gone, if any Herrscher of Corruption dares to show itself in the Elysian Realm, Kevin outside would probably be happy to annihilate it with a Judgement of Shamash.

"Put your heart in your pelvis? Which car hit me?"

People sometimes smile when they're speechless.

That's just how Su is.

The television screen has taken over the shot again.

In the black and white image, Elysia appears, transforming from data into countless zeros and ones.

Goodbye, Elysia

The Herrscher of Corruption's message appeared on the television screen.

"I'm sorry... I'll have to disappoint you."

As Elysia's voice appeared, another line of text appeared on the screen.

The TV screen seemed to have a bug, with countless random characters jumping around. In the data space that was originally controlled by the Herrscher of Corruption, the 0s and 1s were re- Signets as symbols by Lisia.

"The curtain call of Flame-Chasers must be grand and magnificent."

Elysia's figure reappeared in the data space, and more and more data became garbled. At this moment, the Herrscher of Corruption seemed to panic a little.

"But it's just the two of us alone, and it's obviously a bit lonely... don't you think?"

Elysia reached out her hand in a certain direction, as if extending an invitation, and there, her soulmate, her lifelong companion, grasped her outstretched hand.

"My good Eden ~?"

Witness the return of Eden.

Everyone almost jumped up in excitement.

"The strategist personally intervened, Herrscher of Corruption Flame-Chasers was actually a gift it personally bestowed upon Elysia!"

Fu Hua adjusted his reflective glasses, exuding an air of sophistication.

The next second, Little Knowledge snatched it away.

"Good heavens, it feels like Elysia is even more terrifying than the Corruption Herrscher. She directly reversed the Herrscher of Corruption's power. As expected of Elysia!"

Little Knowledge stood with his hands on his hips, wearing Fu Hua's glasses.

"The first one really is my dearest Eden ~?"

Elysia's soft face pressed tightly against Eden's pretty face.

Eden said with a smile as he enjoyed Elysia's affectionate touch.

"Of course, Elysia, whenever and wherever you invite me, I will definitely say yes. I... will always be behind you."
