Chapter 299
"..."
Otto revived Kallen, Otto wins.
Modern civilization has removed its constraints; modern civilization wins.
So who lost?
Is it Honkai?
But by then, the Honkai was already under the control of the Young Lady, right?
The Young Lady is probably happy to see this. Therefore, the Young Lady wins too.
Doesn't this make Otto even more impressive?
If he could fight the Honkai with all his might, the Honkai would be no match for him.
Thinking back to the Previous Civilization, all that was missing was Otto!
PS1: First update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!
286. Kevin still opened the back door of the Prometheus Seventeen OvO
Then, the Twelfth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Erosion, descended upon the Land of the Past.
[In this Land of the Past, built from data and memories, the Herrscher of Erosion thrives; her arrival is tantamount to the Finality coming to the world.]
She rejoiced and spread her virus to the outside world via the internet.
However, because the three organizations were overly perceptive, they lost contact with each other one by one and disappeared.
Even the Land of the Past was cut off from the internet, and Kevin, wielding the An-Utu, was blocking the entrance.
[...]
She was utterly terrified.
[...]
The chibi version of Miss Yuzu smiles gently, covers her mouth with her little hand, and tells her story in a soft, gentle voice.
She is not a living being, yet she possesses the instincts of a living being—a yearning to live!
She feared death and would do anything to survive!
[...]
When she encountered Elysia's Memory Fragment, Elysia didn't intend to do anything to her, but she was terrified of being discovered by Elysia and immediately deleted Elysia from her memory.
[...]
"You motherfucker, get born!"
"Eri, my Eri!"
"..."
"Want to survive? It's simple! Surrender! Lady Elysia is so gentle and kind. If you surrender, do you think she won't protect you?"
"..."
Although, but.
Everyone knows what kind of girl Elysia is.
But erosion doesn't know that.
So after she killed Elysia, she couldn't stop.
From Elysia's memories, she learned about the situation with Kevin's Armor 666, a device that could wipe out the entire Land of the Past with a single click, and the only thing that could completely kill her in Land of the Past.
[Then!]
She transformed into Elysia, attempting to gain ownership of Kevin's Armor 666.
[...]
"Your blood pressure is high!"
"I killed you, took your form, and then went on to kill your friends?"
"..."
"Imagine someone born speaking in the likeness of Lady Elysia..."
"Aaaaaaaah! My brain is shaking!"
"..."
The Flame-Chasers who followed gradually became aware of the unusual situation.
[With the help of Raiden Mei, who was waiting for Kiana's return in the Land of the Past, she began her relentless fight.]
[...]
Miss Yuzu said.
At that time, Kiana went to Schicksal to meet her sister. The sisters reconciled, Raiden Mei felt too embarrassed to go with them.
So they stayed.
Who knew that it would coincide with the arrival of the Herrscher of Erosion.
Instead, she became the trump card for the Flame-Chasers Memory Fragment, enabling them to overcome the erosion.
After all.
The three safest places in the Elysian Realm that are unaffected by erosion.
One is Sakura, who froze time and space through swordsmanship.
One is the space of erosion by the Herrscher of Erosion.
Finally, there's Raiden Mei's mind. In her mind, nothing can be distorted or interfered with.
As long as Elysia's memories are pieced together again in her mind.
In the Elysian Realm, we can welcome Elysia back.
In that case!
Once Kevin is armed with 666, it can be activated.
"Good, good, good! What do you mean by the twelve Flame-Chasers collectively shattering and combining into a giant Eri?!"
"Lady Vilvi is still in C. That's amazing!"
"..."
"The current civilization's combat power largely relies on the Divine Key. I never expected that it would actually be effective against Kevin's weaponry in the Elysian Realm?"
"..."
Many people, after listening to the descriptions given by the two girls in the video and imagining it, were even more astonished.
In real life, Vilvi herself even slightly put her hands on her hips.
Is he Great Magician? Okay, no wonder!
Even if she's not an expert, she's still Vilvi.
Anyway, she's standing tall and proud, looking very self-satisfied.
"We're the biggest little trash makers, but sometimes, little trash might give you a big surprise!"
However, although Elysia was welcomed back, Elysia did not immediately use her weapon against Kevin 666. Instead, she went to the core of the Herrscher of Erosion and brought back all her companions.
[In the Previous Civilization era, the Thirteen Flame-Chasers never fought side by side.]
This time, her wish finally came true.
[...]
The chibi version of Void Archive spoke up.
[All the Flame-Chasers, with all their might, restrained the corruption. Kevin's weapon, 666, was originally in the form of Elysia; the Goddess Eri, using Elysia as an arrow, pierced through the Herrscher of Erosion.]
This also signifies the end of this Great Honkai.
The Flame-Chasers of the Previous Civilization, in their very last moments, did one last thing for the new era in their own way.
Although Elysian Realm has vanished, the will of the Flame-Chasers has been passed down to Raiden Mei, and will continue to be passed on.
[...]
"In other words, Elysian Realm is gone?"
"Good heavens! Erosion, you bastard!"
"..."
To be fair...
The Herrscher of Erosion is no different from the gods in the Land of the Past.
The Flame-Chasers were able to achieve such a result is already an incredibly remarkable achievement.
Such achievements are likely the result of multiple factors working together.
If it weren't for them.
They really let the Herrscher of Erosion spread all over the world, and the virus was everywhere.
That would probably be the real disaster.
The Land of the Past did indeed shield modern civilization from a blow.
That's just how it is!
That makes it even more heartbreaking.
Meanwhile, on this side...
Elysia, however, was delighted.
"It's okay, I think it's a very romantic thing. Isn't it?"
"The me of that world, the me of that time, must have thought the same way."
"I didn't complain or blame anyone, nor did I have any regrets. Instead, I finished everything with a smile and wished the younger generation well."
Is there anything better than this?
"..."
She was sitting on the grass, her legs slightly curled up, hugging her knees, her little face gently pressed against the grass, tilting her head to look at Kiana.
Charming and gentle.
"And in the future, won't my dear Kiana also revive the Memory Fragment of me, and all of us?"
"It's just a temporary separation, why be sad?"
"..."
After the Herrscher of Erosion, only the Finality.
After seeing Kiana become the Herrscher of Flamescion, Kevin examined her carefully and indeed found no further signs of the Finality, which made him suspicious.
He opened the back door of Prometheus Seventeen and briefly inquired.
[...]
He eventually learned the truth.
[For example, what is the Cocoon of the End all about now? What is the Honkai? And what about the sudden appearance of the Finality in the first place?]
Finally, the answer is in.
Although Miss UP didn't say it explicitly, the one time the Finality appeared, what descended was probably not the Finality of that world, but our Young Lady.
But in reality, many people have gradually come to their senses.
After all, only our Young Lady likes to start with zero frames and give you a Constraint Domain!
That Kiana over there isn't the Finality. Who else, besides the Young Lady, could possibly interfere with her?
