Chapter 124

Pardofelis: "Haha, how should I put it... it's like [I figured there was treasure ahead], so I just kept going based on my intuition. Maybe that's what they call talent."

Elysia: "Pardofelis is really capable."

The Raven circled around inside for over a dozen times without finding an exit, while Pardofelis and Mei found them in no time.

I have to admit, Pardo does have some talent!

Canned Food: "Meow~"

Pardofelis: "The Canned Food's part means she's very capable."

Raven: "Come on, you're so capable, yet you led me astray? The mazes in that Previous Era Elysian Realm area, no matter how you look at it, can't possibly be considered harmless, right?"

The Raven realized it couldn't get along with these little animals; it was clearly the one who got tricked, yet it put on an innocent expression.

The Raven almost thought they were Villain bullying small animals.

Chapter 205 What made Raven so determined to defeat the Honkai?

Cherry. "..."

Chakravartin: "Harmless? You should be grateful you came out alive after entering Apponia's territory. Of course, I strongly suggest you get your mental health checked."

Chakravartin: "If you find yourself under Precepts, you'd better start preparing for your funeral, or you'll regret it—regret that you died too slowly!"

The Chakravartin Tribulations were filled with murderous intent and rage; even through the Chat Group, Raven could sense their emotions.

Raven: "Did I... offend him just now?"

Raiden Mei: "Miss Raven, you'll get used to it. Chakravartin always has this attitude when Apponia is mentioned."

Theresa: "It's always been like this."

Especially after the system punished Chakravartin for saying "[Dear Apponia]", Chakravartin's killing intent surged exponentially that day.

In the scene, Raven follows behind the Canned Food. Although she already knows that this fat cat is unreliable, wandering around the Previous Era Elysian Realm is a very dangerous thing.

"Meow!"

After a scream, the Canned Food quickly ran forward.

"Hey, wait a minute! Eh? Mei, what are you doing here?"

Raven took a few steps forward and spotted Mei following behind Pardofelis.

It was obvious that she was also looking for herself.

"I was just about to ask you, [senior]. You've been missing for so long, and you're saying you're here... playing with a cat?"

Raiden Mei looked at the strange creature that Pardofelis was holding, unsure whether it was actually a cat.

"Please spare me! Teasing a cat? You're more like being teased by a cat. If it weren't for it, how would I be stuck here unable to get out?"

Raven shrugged. She had circled the area more than a dozen times, but she couldn't do anything about that fat cat.

On the other side, Pardo was holding Canned Food, while the two cats rolled around on the ground.

"Oh, okay, okay, stop fooling around! Sister Mei and her friends are still watching. Ouch, it itches! Stop licking the Canned Food!"

Pardofelis took the Canned Food off her.

"So, this is... your new friend?" Raven asked.

"I guess so, we met by chance on the street."

"Oh my, is this the friend Sister Mei was looking for? I never expected her to be with the Canned Food. This is killing two birds with one stone... No, it's fate, it's fate's arrangement!"

Almost blurting out her true feelings, Pardo quickly changed her mind.

"Hello, I'm Pardofelis. People usually call me by my full name; some call me Pardofelis, and some call me Pardo. It's fine either way, whichever you find easiest to say."

"Pardofelis? You're the owner of the Elysian Realm Shop?"

Raven thought for a moment, and the name Pardofelis did vaguely come to mind.

"Yes, the last of the thirteen, the weakest in both status and strength, Flame-Chasers, the one from Reverie, Pardofelis, without a doubt."

Pardo pointed to her ears.

"Alright, Pardo, the person I'm looking for and the cat you're looking for are both here. Can you think of a way to get us out of here?"

"Want to go out? That's easy. After all, we're business people; we're quite adept at traveling around."

Pardofelis abruptly changed the subject, revealing a troubled expression.

"However... hehe, strictly speaking, this is a trade secret, so could you please close your eyes and cover your ears, and not look or listen?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... you see, what if my skill, which I use to make a living, gets leaked..."

"We'll do as you say." Raven and Raiden Mei covered their ears.

"Then without further ado, Pardo's special service!"

A sudden, intense feeling of weightlessness washed over her, and Pardofelis's voice faded into the distance as her consciousness struggled to break free of her body.

When Raiden Mei opened her eyes again, she had already left that area, and the scene ended there.

Kiana: "Pardo! You still say you weren't lying about us? That's definitely not something a weakling like you could do!"

Theresa: "Pardo, you're bad!"

Those who had initially believed that Pardo was truly weak now showed signs of being deceived.

The move that Pardofelis just made was, if not earth-shattering, at least a Great Shift of Heaven and Earth in the universe.

Transferring two living people to another area is something that only an ordinary S-rank Valkyrie like Theresa could do.

Pardofelis: "I'm innocent! I... I don't know what happened!"

Raiden Mei: "Pardo, the evidence is irrefutable. Do you think we'll still believe you?"

Elysia: "Pardo, I didn't know you had this skill hidden away? Even I didn't know. I'm so sad."

Pardofelis: "Sister Elysia, you have to believe me, you have to believe me!"

That's it. After that move was revealed, Pardo knew that no matter how she explained it, she couldn't explain it away.

"Vill-V, I knew you were someone who could surprise everyone. You fooled us all! Pardo, you've grasped a bit Pardo the essence of magic."

Pardofelis: "Oh, it's Magician Sister Vill-V! Why are you like this too?"

Vill-V: "Because, Pardo, what you just did was really skillful. But Pardo, you'd better be careful. If Mobius finds out, he'll definitely be even more interested in you."

Pardofelis: "Sister Vill-V, don't scare me!"

It was true, Pardofelis knew it was true.

Mobius already had a strong interest in her, and now that he's here, she probably won't be able to escape.

Wendy: "I've been at the villa island for about ten minutes now, Sister Bronya, where are you?"

Theresa: "We're here too! Wow! Raven, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

On the island, a small warship slowly came to a stop, and the Valkyrie emerged one by one.

The private villa island before them, transformed into a resort-like destination, truly filled them with envy.

Raven: "Since you're here, please make yourselves at home. I need to pick up the children later, so I won't entertain you any longer. Just ask the maid if you need anything."

Kiana: "Hehe, Raven's pretty generous! Let's start our beach barbecue then, class monitor~"

Fu Hua: "They're here, they're here."

Pardofelis: "Wait, Hua, count me in! I want barbecue too."

Sunshine on the beach, a barbecue by the sea, Raven lay on the sofa in the villa, wearing sunglasses, with a maid pouring her juice.

The island's owner quietly watched the boisterous Valkyrie girls on the beach, feeling only a sense of peace and contentment.

[As a member of the World Serpent's executive team, why did Raven, like Kevin, make a vow while facing the setting sun that no matter the cost, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai?]

[A: Because the Raven worships the World Serpent Lord, it was won over by Kevin's beliefs.]

[B: Because Raven was designated by Kevin as the successor to the World Serpent Lord, inheriting Kevin's will, and is Kevin's confidant.]

[C: Because the Raven witnessed the fate of the Previous Era after entering the Previous Era Elysian Realm, it became possessed.]

[D: Because Raven's villa island was destroyed by the Herrscher of the Void.]

Herrscher of Reason: "No matter the cost, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai... Kevin did say that, Raven. You enjoy doing this kind of pointless stuff too?"

Raven: "No, I haven't done it yet."

After thinking about it, Raven could at least be certain that she hadn't said those words yet.

And no matter the cost, humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai, meaning even mutual destruction is acceptable.

The person who would say that is probably a little bit delusional, right?

Theresa: "It's good that you didn't say that. Raven, let me tell you, you can't be like that madman Kevin. Just from the content of the World Serpent's Stigmata Project, you can tell it's not something a normal person could come up with."

Raven: "I have reservations."

Although now that she has a villa island and can live her life in peace, Raven will still stand on the side of World Serpent.

After all, neither Schicksal nor Anti-Entropy is very reliable.

Raiden Mei: "Miss Raven, think about it. You have a villa island, sunny beaches, and such wonderful things in the world, don't you think?"

Kiana: "Fight for all the good things in the world!"

Raven: "What you said seems to make a lot of sense."

Yes, she has her own villa island, the life she's always dreamed of, so why would she say that no matter the cost, humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai?

I can't figure it out.

Raven thought he must have been crazy to say that.

Elysia: "It's Miss Raven's question again. I think only Miss Raven knows the answer to this one."

Raven: "How would I know? With my villa island, I don't even need to go back to World Serpent to fight for me. Why do you insist on saying we must defeat the Honkai?"

Kiana: "It can't be because the Herrscher of the Void blew up Miss Raven's villa island, can it? What a coincidence that would be so illogical?"

Theresa: "Exactly! Miss Raven is a high-ranking officer of World Serpent, Kevin's trusted lieutenant. How could she lack such a broad perspective and become obsessed over a small island?"

When Kevin uttered those words, the destruction of the Previous Era had left his heart riddled with wounds. He returned to his hometown with Sakura's body, only to find not a single cherry blossom in sight.

The sheer despair he endured was enough to move anyone.

And so, standing on the scorched earth, Kevin swore an oath that would last until death.

But Raven, you swore under the setting sun that no matter the cost, humanity would definitely defeat the Honkai, all because your villa island was destroyed.

Doesn't that seem a bit too low-class?

Raven: "Hmm... so I have to choose one of the first three options? But I don't know either."

Pardofelis: "No, is this another random draw for lucky viewers? Miss Raven, time is of the essence, you need to think of something quickly..."

[Countdown is over. Congratulations to Raven for being a lucky viewer.]

Raven: "?!!"

Not understanding how it had inexplicably become a lucky spectator, Raven was even ready to give up on the question.

I gave her so many nice things before, and she answered the questions correctly one after another after joining the group. Now another lucky audience member has arrived.

The Raven sensed that things weren't so simple.

Pardofelis: "Phew... thank goodness it wasn't me, thank goodness it wasn't me. It's a rare treat to come all the way to this villa island, it would be a huge loss if they sent me back."

[Raven, please answer within ten seconds.]

Raven: "I really don't know... Choose A!!"

[Incorrect answer.]

[The correct answer is D. The Herrscher of the Void destroyed Raven's Island.]

[Raven has been penalized: Within thirty minutes, the island owned by Raven will explode on the spot. Please evacuate as soon as possible.]

Raven: "?! My villa island, System, I ***!!!"
