Chapter 196
Chakravartin moved half a second faster than Su, instantly creating distance, and then looked down at the potion in his hand.
Berserk Potion, the act of exchanging thought for power, are particularly fitting for battles with wild beasts.
Once consumed, the powerful berserk state combined with the effect of [The Madman Fears No Group Assault] provides an almost exponential boost.
Aside from Apponia Elysia, there's absolutely no one here who could stop me, right? Perhaps even Apponia could...
Sakura: "Chakravartin, wait a moment..."
Chakravartin: "Shut up, Chakravartin doesn't need this kind of thing."
With a forceful pull of his arm, the glass wall of the test tube shattered easily, and the red liquid spilled out, slowly flowing down Chakravartin's hand and onto the ground.
Su: "Chakravartin, you?!"
This is the second time today that Su has expressed dissatisfaction with Chakravartin's actions.
The first time was when Chakravartin was transferred by his Sumeru World-Bubble in the scene, and he was already in a calm state.
Chakravartin: "What? Did I surprise you?"
Su: "Yes."
Chakravartin: "Hahaha, aren't you people who consider yourselves smart? Don't you always look down on others and have unwavering faith in your own judgment? Hahaha, hahahahaha."
Clutching the mask tightly, Chakravartin laughed loudly, causing the previously dormant lava to churn once more.
Chakravartin: "Then, take your time to think it over! Spend your entire lives in repentance!!!"
Chapter 317 Did Apponia kill Sakura?
The Death Space was in chaos once again, but this Chakravartin, although Qian Jie was furious, his target was only Su.
This resulted in the enlightened Enlightened One dealing with the situation while others stood by and watched the show.
A fiery meteor fell from the sky and then dissipated under Su's power. The intense heat spread to the ground, but the formidable meteorite turned into fireworks and vanished in the sky.
"Vill-V was an extremely crude performance. Although it can't compare to my magic, I have to admit it was still a spectacular show."
Raven: "Why do you all seem to have this completely 'it's none of my business' attitude?"
Durandal: "Are you sure we don't need to stop the riots?"
Pardofelis: "Uh, you can't expect me to go. My little body is so small, I'd be set on fire if I took even one step forward."
Not only could she not move forward, Pardo also took a few steps back, standing behind Elysia, and circling around Elysia based on the battleground between Chakravartin and Su.
Sakura: "... Joining rashly won't help anyone."
Sakura actually wanted to go in and help Su, but if she went in, Chakravartin's [The Madman Fears No Group Assault] would be activated, which would probably only make Su's situation more difficult.
Elysia: "Hmm... I still need to take care of the garden. The extreme heat of this Chakravartin Tribulations is almost causing the lovely flowers to wither."
Elysia's garden was right next to her, but at this moment she could clearly feel the heat waves rolling through the garden, and the once tender flowers were withering one after another.
Elysia could even see a fake interface with flowers -1, -1... -10086.
[In the scene, Su and Chakravartin are still negotiating in a square. The ground is still flat, and no strong battle has broken out.]
"Like you, I am reluctant to doubt Sakura, but I have exhausted all my efforts to trace it back, and among the Flame-Chasers, only your and her data showed anomalies, that is beyond doubt."
Sue shrugged. "Therefore, if I want to find the truth, I must turn to you."
As of now, Sakura's data remains unknown, while Chakravartin is no longer showing any abnormalities.
"Chakravartin, you've seen Sakura, or at least you were in the same space as her, right?"
"What else do you know?" Chakravartin asked, gesturing with both hands.
Su glanced silently at Fu Hua, who understood and added the information on Su's behalf.
"I only realized this after learning about the changes in the Sumeru World-Bubble. It seems that spatial abilities in reality are different in the Elysian Realm."
Fu Hua lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then continued.
"We all know that Sakura possesses a sword technique that freezes space; we've even witnessed it firsthand."
Since Sakura's data didn't disappear, but rather entered an abnormal state, perhaps her abnormality lies not in herself, but in the space created after she used that sword technique.
"That's right, the key to everything is why she swung that sword." Su glanced at Chakravartin and added.
"It seems you're not so stupid after all, just as arrogant as ever, thinking you can hide anything from everyone."
Chakravartin sneered.
"You're not the first to notice. I received the special code for the Poison Cocoon the night Sakura disappeared."
What about the content?
"... Help!"
Qian Jie remained silent for Chakravartin before finally uttering two words.
"As always, isn't it? Whether it's her sister or herself, you always suspect her first, suspecting someone who needs to be saved."
"Hahaha, hahaha, so noble, so noble! Look at you all, I'd rather be a wild beast."
Su and Hua exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
What happened back then was indeed a tragedy that is difficult to explain and understand. Although they were not the murderers, they were by no means innocent.
"So, you think Sakura is also a victim? Then what happened after that, during the period when your data also showed anomalies?"
Su composed herself and slowly asked.
"I went to the place indicated by the cipher, but there was nothing there except this mask."
Chakravartin pointed to the mask on the ground.
The mask was covered in dust and even had a few cracks, clearly the result of a fierce battle.
Pardofelis: "This style is a mask for Poison Cocoon!"
It is not a rare item. As one of the forces of the Previous Era, the members of the Poison Cocoon, as assassins, have strong secrets about their identities.
Masks are worn when carrying out missions, especially special missions.
Although ordinary people don't often see people with Poison Cocoon, the Flame-Chasers do, and even Pardo could recognize the mask's origin at a glance.
Sakura: "It is indeed my mask."
Elysia: "Sakura, does this mask have any special meaning for you?"
Sakura: "I only take it with me when I'm on a special mission, and..."
Sakura glanced at Apponia in the distance, but didn't say the rest of her words.
In the Previous Era Elysian Realm, there is nothing else she can think of that would make Memory Body willingly put on this mask, at least for now.
Bronya: "Judging from the marks on her mask, Sakura must have been in a fierce fight. And before she disappeared, she had already drawn the Seven Thunders of Retribution...!!"
Bronya dared not analyze any further; she understood what her words meant.
This completely exacerbates the already strained atmosphere in the Chat Group!
Sakura: "It's alright, Miss Bronya. Everyone knows what happened. Now that we've talked it out, there's no need to keep it a secret."
Before they knew it, Apponia and Sakura had locked eyes, the two less than ten meters apart.
Pardofelis: "Hey, hey, hey! What's going on? Su and Brother Jie haven't stopped yet. Sister Sakura, Sister Nia, calm down, calm down."
While neither of them was paying attention to her, Pardofelis quickly ran back to the store and hid the Frozen Naraka and Seven Thunders of Retribution Concept Card.
With such a tense atmosphere, if Sakura were to take back her weapon, a fight might really break out!
Kiana: "What's going on? Is something supernatural happening today? Things seem to be in chaos at Flame-Chasers's place."
Elysia: "It's okay, it's just some... minor friction that was bound to happen sooner or later?"
Pardofelis: "A little, a little friction?"
No matter how you look at it, this atmosphere doesn't seem like something that could be caused by a minor disagreement.
Apponia: "Sakura, I know you're angry. You can hurt me or kill me, it doesn't matter. But Sakura, do you really believe that I'm the one who caused your disappearance?"
Chapter 318 Su is in a dilemma
Missing? Everyone silently curled their lips. At this moment, Sakura's data showed an anomaly. The use of "missing" was really clever; it could almost be considered a death sentence!
Sakura: "I don't know, but Apponia, you're wrong about one thing. Although I hate you, I just want to cherish this hard-won opportunity right now and have no intention of arguing with you."
She can also go back to see her sister, and Rin's normal life also needs the protection of the Fire Moth. For this reason, Sakura can bury all her emotions in the past, as if it doesn't exist.
The abandoned Frozen Naraka is the best promise.
Apponia: "Really? That's wonderful. I know I'm deeply sinful, and seeing you so happy is my greatest comfort."
Pardofelis: "Great! It's so much better to be open and honest. We can all sit down for a meal and some tea, and maybe even buy something at the store while we're at it."
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Pardofelis dared to show herself and even tried to take the opportunity to sell some souvenirs to Sister Sakura and Apponia.
Theresa: "Strange, Apponia has appeared. Shouldn't Chakravartin be furious at this time? Why isn't he reacting?"
Welt: "... Headmaster, do you think Su has been holding off Chakravartin for too long?"
Theresa: "No, no, no, I was just expressing my feelings and raising some questions. You can completely pretend you didn't hear what I just said!"
Theresa quickly covered her mouth, almost not realizing what she had just said; she was reminding Chakravartin that there was another one there.
Elysia: "It's alright. Chakravartin knows very well that anyone could be the murderer of Sakura, but it could never be Apponia."
Theresa: "Why?"
Chakravartin: "Ha, Apponia? That woman will only drive you to the brink of madness, a monster. Death is the easiest relief."
Apponia: "Chakravartin, thank you for trusting me so much."
Chakravartin: "You!... Hmph!"
Just as he was about to unleash his fury on Apponia, a sense of weightlessness came from a spatial distortion, and Chakravartin realized that his current prey was the blind man.
A crimson pillar of fire shot up from the ground, and the two clashed again in the area where their vision was obstructed.
In the scene, Su and Fu Hua stared blankly at the mask Chakravartin had left on the ground. This was one of the few useful clues they had collected in the past few days.
"[Forget-Me-Not] only wears it when performing a mission. And she only takes it off when the mission is completed."
Chakravartin explained from the side that he had also changed his address for Sakura to Forget-Me-Not.
"If he is not dead, then he is an enemy... This is consistent with my previous judgment, and that's why you've stayed by my side every step of the way."
Su frowned and said.
Chakravartin curled his lip in disdain. "Hmph, don't think I value your judgment; I just want to convince you."
"Come on, aren't you special in the Elysian Realm? Then tell me, whose bloodstains are these?!"
In the Previous Era Elysian Realm, the abilities of the Enlightened One are rather peculiar. Now that the clues are right before him, Su only needs to explore a little to find the true identity of the murderer based on the slightest traces.
Of course, this is on the premise that the mask is truly as Chakravartin described, and that it has not been tampered with.
"Alright, but before that, Chakravartin, if none of these traces belong to Sakura herself. In other words, if I can't prove her innocence, what are you going to do?"
Sue still felt that such behavior lacked prudence.
While the mask is a valuable clue, it cannot be considered conclusive evidence, as too many variables have been introduced since the night of the incident.
"What, did my attitude mislead you?" Chakravartin Jie said coldly. "You have no right to ask me questions. You'll find out soon enough!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Su leaned down and placed one hand on the mask.
Judging from his increasingly grim expression, it was clear that Su had already discovered something.
"And the answer?"
"Why."
Faced with Chakravartin's persistent questioning, Su sighed, unsure of what to do next.
This is the easiest and most important clue to follow; if it is lost, their actions will come to nothing.
However, the facts before him and the Chakravartin standing in front of him made Su hesitate about whether to reveal his discovery.
