Chapter 200
The man turned around and slowly looked at Chakravartin.
"You... you really did fall from the sky? Could it be that your memories were altered by that Apponia?"
"... She doesn't dare."
Chakravartin's reply was rather cold; the name Apponia made him genuinely uncomfortable.
"Hahaha, then I'll believe you for now. You ended up in that ignorant village, ravaged by Honkai?"
"A person who fell from the sky unharmed, and instead of seeing you as a monster, they regard you as a god?"
However, the ignorant villagers were not very friendly towards the so-called deity.
Numb with delusion, the villagers believed that Chakravartin's blood was a panacea, and driven by greed, they were capable of any insane act.
"Whether it's habit or instinct, you shouldn't let those people find out. Those who are blindly revered as outcasts will not have a good ending."
So what?
"Haha, you make it sound so easy, but that kind of pain is very vivid in my memory."
Chakravartin's answer made the man laugh.
It was clearly excruciating pain, yet it was described so casually. It was as if a mere swing of the wrist would have been enough to break free and escape, or even wipe out the perpetrators.
But Chakravartin did not do that.
Instead, they endured the pain and the villagers' apathy and ignorance.
"You could have broken Shackles and left at any time, but you didn't. Why?"
"You can ask, but you'll die after you do!"
"Sigh, it seems I need to remind you, you can't do that. It's you who's dying, not me."
The man shook his head regretfully and looked at Chakravartin with pity.
"No wonder you chose to fight to the death with another Fusion Warrior during the sanatorium incident. No wonder you disagreed with everything Fire Moth did, yet you didn't choose to leave."
"That madman, Chakravartin, is a man who, even on a global scale, is only second to two leaders."
All he wanted was a place he could never return to, and a home.
"Enough!"
The moment the sound landed, Chakravartin unleashed a powerful punch at the body that was exactly the same as his.
But it's meaningless.
The punch remained suspended in mid-air, without making any further progress.
"What, you don't like my gift? I thought this was a very rare opportunity. Anyway, it's almost time, so I won't pretend with you."
The man took a step back, his anger, which had reached its Chakravartin and was almost tangible, then took a small step forward.
"You are indeed a strong person, I admit that, but... that's enough."
"Thank you for opening the door for me, and thank you for volunteering to be the next victim!"
The sound faded, followed by endless darkness.
It swallowed up memories, swallowed up flames, and left everything in complete silence.
All was silent.
From this moment on, Chakravartin's death became inevitable.
For individuals belonging to [Chakravartin], everything began with a fall and also ended with a fall.
Haha, hahahaha.
A low chuckle came from the darkness.
Then, flames broke out.
"It's you!!!"
The fist, suspended in mid-air, raised flames, destroying everything around it, including the mask hidden in the darkness.
"I also want to thank you. You made me understand what that woman meant back then—the possibility of a second life, right? Hmm?!"
"Pretending? Yeah, I haven't wanted to do that for a long time."
"Come on, didn't you want to see how I feel? Let's begin, in the way that suits us best!"
"Burn everything to the death!!!"
A blazing fist, glowing with light, smashed towards the hypocrite who had mocked his life.
Pardofelis: "Brother Jie is strong! Brother Jie is invincible!"
Raven: "I thought it would be a fierce battle between hunter and beast in the darkness, but it turns out to be a desperate fight to the death fueled by the anger of the destined loser?"
Only now did they realize what Chakravartin had been carrying to get to this point.
That birth, which seemed like a joke, and that future, which seemed like a joke, led to him becoming a powerhouse second only to Kevin and Elysia.
And finally, that dying counterattack, burning with soul and burning with will.
It was engraved with the name of Annihilation.
Vill-V: "A surprise, a real surprise. First, Chakravartin actually fooled Su, and then, on his deathbed, he saw through the fog and unleashed unprecedented combat power."
Indeed, as companions, every Flame-Chasers has lived up to expectations.
Su: "Every Flame-Chasers carries their own significance, but this Chakravartin is truly unexpected."
Chakravartin: "That's Memory Body, not me. A bunch of nauseating bastards."
Brother Jie stood there with his arms crossed, coldly watching you all.
Elysia: "Oh dear, Chakravartin is shy. Although the Memory Body and the original body are indeed two different concepts, in essence, they are another possibility for us."
The memories preserved in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, the choices they make, will be no different from those of Flame-Chasers because of the things they have experienced.
But their essence is the same.
Chakravartin: "The second possibility of life..."
Lowering his head, Chakravartin opened his palm and looked at the flames flickering in his hand.
My life has been a series of failures since I was born. Almost every major event has been filled with regret, a tragic epitaph.
Even when the Finality came and everything fell silent, his anger was never vented.
I'm a little envious of that Memory Body.
Chakravartin was genuinely envious of the Memory Body's intentions and methods, but he wondered if the final blow would achieve that simple goal.
Pardofelis: "Waaah, Brother Jie, why did you have to go alone? You should have taken everyone with you!"
Vill-V: "Little Pardo, do you mean to pull you up too?"
Pardofelis: "I, I... Although I'm not of much use, I can at least cheer you on!"
Elysia: "Mmm, good girl, Pardo has already done a great job being this brave."
After patting Pardo's head, Elysia stared intently at the other Chakravartin in the image.
Elysia: "Fine, I can't do it. Can any of you figure out the origin of this Chakravartin?"
Su: "If it were a face-to-face confrontation, perhaps I could discover something, but it's basically impossible to do so through visual means."
Chapter 324 Sakura was never a traitor
The Enlightened One's abilities are highly reliable. If he were to confront that Chakravartin face-to-face for even a second, Su was confident that he could uncover its true nature by following the slightest clues.
But given the current situation, that's clearly impossible.
The murderer certainly wouldn't use the same methods they used on Chakravartin to deal with him.
Theresa: "He clearly intended to kill Chakravartin, but appeared using Chakravartin's body. This murderer is too sneaky!"
Kiana: "His surreptitious behavior is giving me the creeps."
He was so cautious and meticulous that he became a master of the art of survival.
Despite possessing the ability to kill Chakravartin, and having eliminated the two most dangerous members of Flame-Chasers, it is still so cautious.
Eden: "So, even Chakravartin, the last remaining high-level fighter among the Flame-Chasers, has been eliminated? The situation is getting increasingly unfavorable."
Pardofelis: "It's more than just disadvantageous."
Before they even saw the murderer, they had already lost their three strongest fighters, a sneak attack that struck at the heart of the Flame-Chasers' weakness.
Su: "Now it depends on whether Kevin and the others have any backup plans, and whether Chakravartin's dying counterattack can deal a heavy blow to the murderer."
The Enlightened One's gaze is fixed on the image.
You could argue that Elysia's sudden death and lack of a backup plan make sense, but it's unbelievable that Kevin didn't have one either.
[In the scene, the battle deep within Chakravartin's consciousness has been going on for an unknown amount of time.]
With only flames burning on his body remaining, the man, whose body was almost completely gone, broke through the encirclement and moved forward step by step.
"Chakravartin?!"
Eden turned around and couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Chakravartin's appearance.
Upon hearing his companion's voice, Chakravartin completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
"Eden, please wait, do not touch him, or even... do not approach him."
"Ah?"
Apponia stopped her before the Eden operation, her voice filled with sorrow.
"His Memory Body are riddled with holes, and are only a hair's breadth away from dissipating."
Eden remained silent for a long time.
The killer's actions were more violent than she had anticipated.
"Does Chakravartin... still have any hope of survival?"
"The chances are slim."
Apponia shook her head. "Poor child, his consciousness has probably long since faded away; he only managed to get here by the instincts of this broken body."
Only Chakravartin, who bears the name of Annihilation, could accomplish such a thing.
Apponia examined Chakravartin's body for a long time before letting out a sorrowful sigh.
"If I were to delve deeper, I might be able to obtain the embers of his consciousness, but Chakravartin's existence is already as fragile as a candle in the wind."
To capture even the last remaining being of the Chakravartin Calamities under such harsh conditions, even if it is Apponia, one must be completely focused and allow no room for error.
"During this time, Eden... please... please protect me."
With her eyes closed, Apponia's body became an empty shell, and her consciousness entered the depths of Chakravartin's memories.
In the instant she arrived, Apponia even heard a conversation between herself and Forward, but in that instant, the other party vanished Without a Trace.
"Too slow, Apponia, he escaped."
Suppressing his fading consciousness, Chakravartin gritted his teeth and uttered those words.
"Chakravartin, that's great, you really won't disappear so easily."
"It's none of your business," Chakravartin said. "You've already seen my body?"
"Yes, it's on the verge of collapse. Why is that?"
"It's a strange thing. It came after me when I was destroying Elysian Realm, and after a fight, it turned into this. Look closely, haven't you always liked doing this?"
What Chakravartin was referring to was his remaining physical body.
That is the most direct and credible clue left by the murderer.
Apponia placed her hand on Chakravartin's head, and the other's experiences flowed back into her mind.
"How could this be? Chakravartin, that's not a thought, nor is it Memory Body like ours, but rather..."
"What, you only realize it now?"
Chakravartin sneered, and the next second his presence became elusive and precarious.
