Chapter 185
With three personality changes occurring precisely at corresponding points in time, it's undeniable that Griseo possesses truly exceptional talent.
Cosmo: "Normally, Griseo wouldn't be in that situation. It's because Kevin and Mei spent too much time with her... and me too."
Griseo: "A lollipop, colorful... it's delicious."
While everyone else was talking about her, Griseo remained indifferent, except this time she wasn't painting, but rather indulging in the deliciousness of a lollipop.
It's worth noting that Griseo's hair color has become increasingly vibrant, resembling the interplay of colors in a rainbow.
She must have eaten quite a few lollipops in the time that just now.
Apponia: "If you like, I have more here, but you'll have to wait until next time. Eating too much sugar will give you cavities."
The system gave out plenty of lollipops; Apponia had only given her seven, but Griseo ate them all at once.
She planned to gradually hand over the rest to Griseo in installments.
After all, Apponia really likes things that can make children happy.
Griseo: "Okay, I understand."
Elysia: "Griseo really likes this lollipop. Looks like Cosmo is practically drooling with envy."
Cosmo: "I... I didn't."
After Elysia said that, Cosmo quickly looked away from the lollipop, but it was too late.
Cosmo: "Ahem, Apponia, what exactly is the key you gave Griseo?"
Apponia: "That was something important that I was keeping safe, but I'm now caught up in chaos and can no longer protect it."
The Seven Thunders of Retribution have been repaired. When the Third Divine Key was sheathed, Sakura must have already learned the truth.
And there is the vengeance of Chakravartin; in the Elysian Realm of Apponia, it will soon become the center of the storm.
She understood this perfectly from the very beginning.
In the scene, Kevin is heading the Deep into the abyss, surrounded by motionless monsters that warily watch the man as he moves forward.
After walking some distance, Kevin saw the person he was looking for.
"I see. That makes sense. Only you could have gotten here so quietly."
Apponia's gaze passed over Kevin's shoulder; there was no trace of battle on the path he had walked.
"Didn't those creations even pose the slightest obstacle to you?"
"Because they dare not look at me, whether I am dead or alive."
Kevin coldly crossed his arms, completely disregarding the monsters around him.
"This doesn't sound like something you'd say. Stepping into this place without her permission doesn't seem like your style either. Kevin, are you finally going to fulfill your responsibilities as a leader?"
"The typewriter is believed to be destroyed, and a large number of archives were left there."
The contents of the files are exactly the same.
--Elysia is dead.
"Besides that, there's another file that records information related to the Twelfth Herrscher. To be precise, it's related to Sakura's sister."
"I see."
Apponia wasn't much of a surprise.
"You see, Kevin, we can't avoid the consequences of our own actions, can we?"
Therefore, the clues that Apponia had previously gleaned were not entirely meaningless.
Chakravartin also disappeared in the Elysian Realm, and like Sakura, it showed an abnormal data state. Sakura already knew the truth about the Twelfth Herrscher, the information that the Memory Body had not yet been synchronized.
"Sakura... her revenge against me is coming soon, isn't it? Otherwise, why would I let Griseo leave my side under such bizarre circumstances?"
Apponia was aware of her situation and did not want Griseo to be tainted by the sins she had committed.
"Apponia."
"Um?"
Why did you give the key to Griseo?
"So, you think it's better for it to stay with me? To stay with me, the one who's about to be caught in the storm?"
Apponia's way of answering questions left Kevin speechless for a moment.
"That's not a responsibility she should bear, and it's probably more than she can handle."
"Please believe me on this, Kevin. Aren't you about to do something similar yourself?"
"..."
After Kevin remained silent for a while, tangled threads gradually clung to his body, like a video about to malfunction.
For a fleeting moment, Apponia even considered the possibility that Kevin's data was also malfunctioning, but a brief instant later, Apponia realized that this was absolutely impossible.
Everything here is subject to destruction, except for Kevin.
"Well then, goodbye, Kevin."
Apponia turned and walked away; the scene ended there.
Cosmo: "... Apponia, I still can't trust you."
Apponia: "When I did that, I naturally didn't expect your forgiveness anymore, but Cosmo, please believe me, I really wanted to protect that child."
Cosmo: "So... you entrusted something so dangerous to Griseo?"
Even Kevin said that's a weight Griseo can't handle, so how can you expect him to feel at ease?
Since the key is so important, you could give it to Kevin or Eden; why insist on having Griseo keep it?
Elysia: "Ahem, Cosmo, don't be angry. At least... Kevin has had enough of the current situation and is ready to take action."
Sakura and Chakravartin's data is abnormal; judging from Apponia's description, they're probably planning to kill her.
Mobius is doing something behind the scenes, but it's clear that her main focus is on getting revenge on Raiden Mei.
The rest were either kept in the dark or unable to contribute much to the matter.
At this critical moment when the building was on the verge of collapse and life and death were at stake, Kevin finally stepped forward!
Kiana: "Kevin's attitude was so mysterious before, I thought he had some shady plans. Is he finally going to make his move?"
Durandal: "Perhaps, even he couldn't bear to see the Flame-Chasers scattered and broken."
At this moment, Kevin's image as the foremost Flame-Chasers suddenly became majestic.
After Elysia disappeared, he naturally took on the responsibility that belonged to Elysia, gathered the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, and killed the murderer who was mixed in with them!
Kevin: "As long as I'm here, any enemy will be easily suppressed."
Gray Serpent: "Your will will be our most steadfast belief in defeating the enemy."
Pardofelis: "Boss Kevin!"
[Q&A begins.]
[Where was Kevin the number of Flame-Chasers whose death was reported?]
[Quick Answer Question]
Pardofelis: "Uh..."
Kevin: "..."
The sudden silence was unexpected, as Kevin had finally taken the lead and seemed poised to turn the tide and reverse the situation.
The treacherous mists and fog have finally been revealed, and a raging inferno cleaves through all directions.
Everyone could already imagine Kevin wielding the Fehu, unleashing his unparalleled power and slaughtering his way through the land.
His death made the atmosphere at the scene extremely awkward.
Chapter 301 The Mysterious Man Who Speaks with Kevin
Sakura: "Kevin... is dead?"
It's unbelievable. The Flame-Chasers all know Kevin's strength, especially Sakura, who had fought him once before.
I just saw Kevin personally meeting with Apponia, indicating that he was about to take action, but I never expected to suddenly receive the news of Kevin's death.
This made the Flame-Chasers feel like they were being fooled by an unknown force.
Durandal: "Even Kevin was taken down? The killer's strength is a bit over the top."
Having once been fortunate enough to obtain Mirror Space experience card during Kevin's prime, and personally experienced his terrifying power, Durandal knew all too well the extent of his unreasonable strength.
After Elysia, how could someone kill such a powerful Kevin?
It's truly quite shocking.
Su: "This... could it be that I've overlooked some crucial clue?"
Something's not right, Mr. Su sensed something was wrong.
The timing of Kevin's death is too illogical. Elysia was just killed, Kevin's vigilance shouldn't have been so low.
But he actually died. Who was the killer, and how could they kill Kevin when he was on high alert?
Pardofelis: "It's over, everything's in chaos, this is complete chaos!"
Griseo: "... It's all a mess!"
Pardofelis: "Huh? Griseo, don't follow my example! This is really bad trouble!"
After Elysia's death, at least Kevin maintained order with absolute force, but now Kevin has also been declared dead.
Pardofelis could already imagine a series of terrifying scenes: Brother Jie fighting everyone, Sister Nia and Sister Sakura slashing each other, Sister Snake plotting something behind the scenes... and so on.
She could only hide in a corner, shivering with the Canned Food.
Kiana: "Kevin's business was only halfway done... uh, what was the next part again?"
Bronya: "Idiot Kiana, stop causing trouble. Kevin's death is no small matter."
Kiana: "I was just trying to lighten the mood."
Bronya: "Hmm, the first and second strongest Flame-Chasers have been taken down, but theoretically they were already the strongest fighting force in the Elysian Realm. Is there some secret about the Previous Era Elysian Realm that we don't know about?"
Kevin: "... No."
Elysia: "All thirteen Flame-Chasers are out in the open, and Kevin is the strongest one. You're not expecting a mysterious fourteenth Flame-Chasers, are you?"
Flame-Chasers themselves are wondering, could there really be someone with the ability to kill both Elysia and Kevin's Memory Body?
Originally, there wasn't one, but considering the special nature of the Previous Era Elysian Realm, researchers like Mobius and Vill-V were greatly enhanced Previous Era Elysian Realm.
Maybe their Memory Body contains some kind of super dangerous little red button or something.
Theresa: "There isn't a fourteenth Flame-Chasers, but the only one who can rival Kevin is Elysia, this..."
Elysia: "??! What are you all looking at me for?"
Seriously? She was the first one to die! They've already wrapped up the fight, and now they want to drag her back and whip her corpse?
You can't just make wild guesses and slander people!
Theresa: "Nothing, just some random thoughts. Kevin, how many times do you think you'll die?"
Kevin: "... The second one."
[Correct answer.]
Kiana: "So accurate?"
Pardofelis: "Because right now, only Sister Elysia has received news of his death, and the second is Boss Kevin."
A very forceful explanation.
However, Elysia was the first target, and Kevin followed closely behind, which reminds me of the order in which the Flame-Chasers were ranked in the past.
It inevitably leads to some speculation.
[Congratulations Kevin for winning the reward: Infinity Instant Noodle Machine.]
