Chapter 123

Kevin gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and gathered his remaining strength to punch Kosma in the chest!

The boy was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the distant ruins.

Kevin hurriedly pulled out the Black Abyss, only to find that its core had self-destructed. Even after it transformed back into Abyss Flower, no life force flowed through it.

"Plum..."

Mei ran over and hugged Kevin tightly. Her usually calm eyes were filled with panic. Kevin wanted to say something to her.

But...

"Mei, before, in your office, it was just the two of us..."

He struggled to raise his blood-stained hand, his fingertips touching Mei's slender, fragile neck.

Mei Shuang's eyes were glistening with tears as she let Kevin's fingers pinch her neck, but in the end Kevin didn't go through with it.

Perhaps, it is truly herself who is affected, but the Herrscher is unaware of the plot, An Yu believes herself to be the greater threat.

"I won't let you die, Kevin."

Mei made a vow, and in the distance, Kosma rapidly became demonized, and the Honkai energy spiraled out of control, not only devouring the Heart Cocoon on his body but also his own sanity.

Dystopia stumbled over and helped May take Kevin to the hospital.

While lacking a heart is indeed a serious problem, modern humans can actually use external bypass surgery to temporarily replace the heart's function.

In that fleeting moment, unnoticed by anyone, amidst the chaos and cries of anguish, Mei's lips moved almost imperceptibly, uttering a barely audible cheer. "Skirt!"

Wuhu.

The moment An Yu became familiar with the power of Herrscher of Sentience, she put passing the test second.

The first one is of course Kevin, Aponia, and Elysia's memories.

Volume 1: Chapter 184, Section 182: 200% Heartfelt Einstein in Reality

Elysia's world has collapsed!

It's not time to act yet, is it?

I haven't arrived yet, why did you all act on your own?

And how did Kosma become demonized?

Why is Kevin sending it again?

Aponia, how come you're not hurt at all?

After suppressing the Kosma, Elysia sighed as she looked at the boy who was curled up and still trembling.

"Kosma, would you like to go and stay in the Deepest Place for a while?"

She softened her voice.

Kosma barely managed to regain his senses. "Watch out, Dystopia."

The moment his Heart Cocoon was swallowed up, he remembered who had led him to see An Yu.

Dystopia was the one who had the most contact with An Yu.

"I will."

Elysia nodded, her heart sinking deeper and deeper.

Arriving at the undamaged hospital nearby, the place was bustling with people and filled with noise. Fortunately Elysia's Noah's Ark, which had been sailing for years, ensured that everyone still trusted her.

She arrived at the ward. Kevin's condition was gradually stabilizing, but he still hadn't woken up. Complex medical equipment surrounded the bed, but with Kevin's heart completely gone, it would probably be a long time before he woke up.

Mei lay by the bedside, her shoulders trembling slightly, her suppressed sobs barely audible.

"Where is Dystopia?" Elysia asked softly.

"I don't know... She said she had something to do halfway through and left."

Mei's voice carried a forced, suppressed calmness, even sounding somewhat hollow.

Elysia nodded, looking at Kevin's badly injured body. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but May was stronger than she had imagined.

She left the ward, and Elysia looked back at the room one last time, May seemed to be gently touching Kevin's bloodless cheek.

"I will find An Yu!"

Elysia shouted!

Mei's body trembled slightly in the ward, but she did not respond.

Dystopia finally found it; she walked aimlessly through the training field.

When Elysia arrived, she was curled up in a corner, hugging her knees, her eyes vacant, looking withdrawn.

"An Yu!"

No response!

Elysia didn't dare to get close either.

Then a passerby gently sat down beside her and said, "Don't worry, the child is alright now. You should go and hug her."

Elysia didn't move. She didn't dare to gamble. What if Dystopia was still affected and then launched a psychic attack on her heart? Wouldn't that just give the Herrscher an opportunity?

Where have you been hiding all this time?

Elysia spoke in a very ordinary tone.

Why should I tell you something like this? Are we that close?

A passerby sat to the side, his limbs locked.

"Then what brings you here now?"

"Let's see if you're stupid. If you really go and comfort Dystopia, I wouldn't mind giving you a little something extra right now."

What a nasty guy! soSo:≤↓∨♂∏∴"∧>◎!! It definitely can't be Xiaoyu from real life.

Elysia was furious, but she couldn't kill the other person because he was just an innocent passerby.

She took a deep breath. "How did you bewitch Vill-V!"

She had to try to calm herself down. Kevin's fate was unknown, and Vill-V had been killed in a combo attack. Kosma was probably safe, but having just fallen to demonhood, his reputation had plummeted.

Not to mention Dystopia, who had the longest contact with An Yu.

Looking back now, the problems Himeko encountered were probably due to Hua's influence. After all, Hua and Dystopia are neighbors, so they were likely affected together.

"Bewitchment?" The passerby hesitated for two seconds, then burst out laughing, "Are you kidding me? She came to me to cooperate!"

An Yu didn't know what Vill-V was like in reality, but in the dream, Vill-V was a complete lunatic, and she wasn't on the same page as Elysia and the others at all!

"How could Vill-V possibly agree to such an absurd request!"

"It's simple. She's too arrogant. She thinks that given time, she can solve anything. But unfortunately, not only did Vill-V fail to figure out Elysia's true nature, but even I failed to do so."

The passersby didn't resist; they were just randomly chosen, so if they were arrested, so be it.

"Elysia, the high and mighty goddess."

The passerby hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice, which carried a hint of doubt and temptation. "Why don't you dare to make a move against them? Since you've decided to become a Saint King, even friends shouldn't influence your judgment."

"Vill-V, she and you are not on the same page at all. You've been trying to win her over for far too long."

Leaving aside Mobius, because the other party didn't really have any grand ambitions, he simply wanted to help humanity evolve and wanted to witness that evolution.

But Vill-V is different; she is completely uninhibited, only becoming law-abiding out of consideration for her friends.

"Because I am Elysia."

The pink-haired girl's answer was resolute; the arrow landed near the passerby, but caused no harm for a long time, only the Binding force grew stronger.

"Good answer!" the passerby smiled, seemingly without any intention of mocking.

The conversation ended there. Aponia arrived and was about to remove the psychological imprint from the passerby, but the Heart Cocoon dissolved on its own, leaving only a bewildered passerby.

She touched Dystopia, and in the same way, the Herrscher, seemingly aware that her abilities would be affected by her, swiftly and decisively removed all mental imprints from herself.

Aponia is doomed.

How am I supposed to play this? You're bewitching each person one by one; should I try to break free or not?

After sending Dystopia into the Deepest Place, Elysia remained silent, facing Aponia.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice anything amiss."

Aponia proactively took responsibility.

The reason why I didn't see it in 7 is actually quite simple: Vill-V has a split personality... In the original storyline of 7, Vill-V could easily use the Lecturer to negate her Discipline, and her other personalities were completely unaffected.

"It's alright, we should be thinking about how to get An Yu out of here now."

Elysia forced a smile.

She was in Australia for less than three days Fire Moth changed drastically, and now she has to put on a smile to comfort others.

Elysia suddenly understood why she was never tall in the initial storyline.

"Ask Mei, although... Mei might also have problems."

[Mei had a problem, but by the time they arrived, the problem was already resolved.]

[The pristine white sheets were stained with blood. Mei knelt beside her, her eyes numb, her face filled with despair.]

In his final moments of lucidity, Kevin didn't hear his lover's whispers, but rather the Herrscher greeting him through Mei's voice.

Finally, Kevin faced himself, but hesitated to take action.

[Elysia is like a character running through a game map; after arriving here, she immediately runs to the Engineering Department, which is where Einstein is located.]

The usually easygoing doctor lost her composure; her smile was strained, and she trembled, on the verge of collapse.

[The Second Divine Key, the Fifth Divine Key, and the recently delivered Seventh Herrscher Core, all of which were kept under the Engineering Department, have disappeared. Yes, she sent them away.]

Finally, just like before, Einstein no longer had the Heart Cocoon.

Even the most optimistic person, at this moment, vaguely realized something.

The final battle has arrived. The Herrscher has obtained everything he wanted, except for the Sixth Herrscher Core and the Abyss Flower, which he used to trade with Kevin.

If the Abyss Flower hadn't been assigned to Kosma by Aponia, the Herrscher would have had another core.

To be on the safe side, the Herrscher didn't gamble on whether Kevin would notice that Kosma didn't bring the Abyss Flower, and directly sacrificed the Herrscher Core to exchange for it.

This is not good news, because the Herrscher don't even care about the core of the Herrscher of Death.

Volume 1: Chapter 185 (183) Life cannot be compared.

Noah's Ark temporarily suspended.

[Mei, filled with resentment, regained her composure.]

But the estrangement won't disappear, just as a broken mirror can't be put back together; even if it's repaired, the cracks will remain.

[The Fire Moth have entered a very difficult period. Aponia is attempting to locate An Yu's position on a large scale using the Discipline, with little success.]

[During a period when public opinion ceased to rise and even declined somewhat, An Yu clearly felt that her abilities had increased significantly.]

[It feels like, white is strong and black is weak, or white is weak and black is strong.]

[Although I already knew this principle, it seems there really is some kind of black and white energy secretly controlling its strength.]

[If Elysia represents white, then you must be black... But what's going on with this dream? A battlefield of black and white?]

[Before An Yu started playing games, Elysia started having dreams, which even made the relationship between the siblings somewhat strange. At that time, who represented the dark side?] Nine

[It can't be that white comes first and then black...]4

Fire Moth, in the conference room

Mei's voice was as cold as a widow's. "You know the plot, so how do we win under normal circumstances?"

In reality, her heart was now far colder than a widow's.

Elysia, rubbing her forehead, explained, "The Eighth Herrscher is arrogant and conceited. His memetic contamination has covered the entire world. He doesn't rely on his Companion Beast or Honkai; he's prepared to fight the entire world alone."

"Then Su fused with the Eighth Herrscher's Companion Beast, Moyuli, becoming Fusion Warrior, and used the connection between the Companion Beast and the Herrscher to pinpoint the opponent's location."6

"Aponia simultaneously became Fusion Warrior, using destiny as an anchor, to shatter the pollution the other had left across the world."

To put it bluntly, the victory at that time was largely due to the arrogance of the Eighth Herrscher.
