Chapter 227
"From a human perspective, the end of life is death, but Memory Body is different; it is the embodiment of data."
"That's why, and only I can make them..."
The Herrscher of Corruption snapped her fingers, and the entire space flipped once again.
Raiden Mei arrived at Vill-V's Spiral Workshop, and standing before her was Vill-V, who had completely vanished.
"See? Genius is immortal. My talent shouldn't be confined to a small space, whether it's a dark and unchanging cage or a virtual space maintained by data."
With her hands on her hips, Vill-V said proudly.
"This time, I will have eternity until all my ideas are brought to life. So, are you satisfied with this script?"
The Herrscher of Corruption can allow Vill-V's data and her clones to spread and proliferate, and as long as a backup is maintained, it can continue to evolve indefinitely.
If this era cannot accept her ideas, then let them continue into the next era.
If this world cannot sustain her survival, then change the world to make it possible.
Kiana: "The Herrscher of Corruption, can you even do something like this?"
Although most people didn't quite understand what the Herrscher of Corruption said or the abilities she possessed, she still gave off a strangely powerful feeling.
Sue: "After the Herrscher of Corruption corrupts the Memory Body data of the Flame-Chasers, it can indeed obtain their information and then preserve it in her backup."
But whether the Memory Body that have been eroded are still the original ones is a philosophical question.
From a scientific perspective, Memory Body exists simply as information recorded in data. Therefore, even if it is corrupted by the Herrscher of Corruption, the original information will not change.
It's just that ownership was plundered by the Herrscher of Corruption.
If a copy of the Herrscher of Corruption is used as a container, and the original blueprint is preserved for propagation, then it is indeed possible to achieve the eternal lifespan mentioned by the Herrscher of Corruption.
Mobius: "Ha, what a laughable argument. The Herrscher of Corruption is nothing more than a virus that has taken over someone else's nest."
Mobius: "All she can do is seize, tamper with, and access data. She can't even understand what the will of Flame-Chasers is, so how can she talk about the definition of humanity or the continuation of humanity?"
The data stored in Memory Body is ultimately just a copy left behind by Flame-Chasers at a certain moment.
What remains after being corrupted by the Herrscher of Corruption is nothing but lifeless matter.
Unless the Herrscher of Corruption is willing to relinquish its copy and grant the Memory Body data complete autonomy, how can the will of Flame-Chasers be continued?
Sue: "But Mobius, you seem to have overlooked one point: Memory Body is different from us."
Mobius: "You...!"
Mobius was slightly annoyed that his well-reasoned argument had been interrupted, but Sue did indeed have a point.
Her statement was based on the premise that Flame-Chasers and the Memory Body share the same origin, but if Flame-Chasers and the Memory Body are considered as different entities...
From an objective standpoint, the Herrscher of Corruption can indeed make data Infinity replicated and make Memory Body permanent.
Apponia: "The influence of the Herrscher of Corruption on the Previous Era Elysian Realm far surpasses that of me, who has become the Previous Era Elysian Realm. Even though our positions are different, her power cannot be ignored."
Chapter 368 Chakravartin's Wish
Pardofelis: "Sister Nia, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Elysia: "It means that if the Herrscher of Corruption wanted, she could even take over the Previous Era Elysian Realm and change this place."
It is no exaggeration to say that once the Herrscher of Corruption has corrupted all the data of the Previous Era Elysian Realm, she can indeed seize control of the Previous Era Elysian Realm.
In fact, even now, with the Herrscher of Corruption not yet having completed her overall corruption, there are not many beings that can threaten her.
Kiana: "Is it really that exaggerated?!"
Vill-V: "It's not an exaggeration. The Previous Era Elysian Realm is ultimately just a container for storing data. In the face of a virus like the Herrscher of Corruption, its vulnerabilities are far too obvious."
Vill-V: "If we were outside, or if we used a weapon Anti-Kevin Armament Model 666 that could wipe out Previous Era Elysian Realm in one click, you would find that she is actually quite vulnerable."
The reason for this is that the authority of the Herrscher of Corruption in the Previous Era Elysian Realm is too great.
Pardofelis: "Change the world? What exactly can that do?"
Elysia: "For example, build a gold mine for Pardofelis, or a waterfall that spews out silver coins from time to time, or create two clones of Kevin to carry goods for you."
Kevin: "..."
Pardofelis: "Oh, this is so embarrassing."
What to do? Pardofelis found herself shamefully tempted. It was a mountain of gold and silver, a waterfall that could spew out silver coins!
She wouldn't even dare to dream of having Boss Kevin, move goods.
'No, Pardo, you can't do this!'
Pardofelis kept reminding herself that she was a person with principles, and how could she fall into such a lowly trap as the mere temptation of Herrscher of Corruption?!
A similar scene occurred in the footage.
[In the scene, the Herrscher of Corruption once again alters the landscape where Raiden Mei is, and the Spiral Workshop and Vill-V that appeared in front of her also disappear.]
A flash of white light, and when Raiden Mei opened her eyes again, she was already on a beach.
Sunset, sunshine, beach, and Chakravartin dressed in cool summer clothes.
"What's wrong? You look like you've swallowed a fly. Is it strange to see me in a situation like this?"
That's really strange.
Raiden Mei remained silent, simply watching Ao Mie Flame-Chasers, who was enjoying the summer sun with a completely relaxed expression.
Any other Flame-Chasers, whether it be Hua, Pardofelis, Apponia, or even Mobius, Raiden Mei could understand their enjoyment of the summer beach.
But the Chakravartin that should represent destruction and ruin are now lying comfortably on the beach, which is really hard for Raiden Mei to accept.
"Ugh! It's so noisy! Why do I have to stay here and play games with a bunch of weird idiots?"
Chakravartin tugged at his collar in frustration.
"Just because it's that woman's birthday today?"
"Herrscher of Corruption, this pointless role-playing game should end."
"Raiden Mei said in a cold voice."
"Herrscher? That thing has been completely eradicated, why mention it? But... hearing that name after so many years makes me a little itchy."
This was not the portrayal that Raiden Mei had in mind; Chakravartin's clenched fists and every word and action perfectly matched his personality.
However, some fundamental objective factors have changed.
"If you're free, change your clothes, call everyone you know, and have a good fight with me... Raiden Mei."
"..."
Raiden Mei remained silent; the presence of Chakravartin in front of her made her feel uneasy, very uneasy.
But for a moment, I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong.
"Don't be surprised, this is the life Chakravartin wanted: a life without change, a worthy opponent, and a place he could call home."
The voice of the Herrscher of Corruption rang out once again.
"He's just such a simple person, and it's a pity that most people don't realize that."
Mutual understanding is a very difficult thing.
Even among comrades who have shared life and death, even after thousands of years together, there are still unseen corners in people's hearts.
"But Mei, the data doesn't lie. The world I see is completely different from yours."
"Only I can truly understand them, only I can give them the future they yearn for, and only I—"
Before she could finish speaking, Raiden Mei suddenly launched an attack. With a sudden blast, the illusion constructed by the data shattered, Herrscher of Corruption revealed a look of astonishment.
The video ends here.
Pardofelis: "Wait, Sister Mei, why did you smash it? I wanted to see what kind of illusion the Herrscher of Corruption would create for me."
Even knowing that these are all just illusions, merely bargaining chips for the Herrscher of Corruption to feign compliance, it is still a dream of Pardofelis.
Sister Mei, if you want to smash it, you can wait until the Herrscher of Corruption conjures up mountains of gold and silver, and a waterfall that sprays silver coins, before you smash it.
Pardofelis's ambitions were small; she just wanted to take a look, just one look was enough.
Raiden Mei: "Pardo, that was just a trick by the Herrscher of Corruption. Everything she does has always been purposeful."
You can't fool them.
Although the Herrscher of Corruption has shown tolerance and magnanimity in her interactions with Raiden Mei so far, it is precisely this behavior that makes her all the more suspicious.
The Herrscher of Corruption does all this to achieve a certain goal; that's inevitable.
Kiana: "Yes, Little Pardo, the appeasement policy is for powerful and uncontrollable Flame-Chasers like Chakravartin. Someone like you will most likely be tied to a pillar and subjected to heavy-duty treatment by the Herrscher of Corruption."
Pardofelis: "No, it can't be that bad, can it?"
Cat admitted she was a little scared. Although mountains of gold and silver were very tempting, her life was more important.
Himeko Murata: "Speaking of which, Chakravartin wanted was a home. Although I mentioned it once before, it's still a bit hard to believe after the Herrscher of Corruption confirmed it with her power."
The image of Chakravartin lying on the beach enjoying herself just now, if the Herrscher of Corruption wasn't lying, should be Chakravartin's original data.
Of course, it was modified by the Herrscher of Corruption, which is why he said that the Herrscher had long since disappeared.
Only after suppressing his anger and frustration, and silencing the noise, did Chakravartin lie on the beach with a peaceful expression, and then everyone believed that all he really wanted was a place to stay.
Sakura: "This... is something I never expected."
Chakravartin: "Tsk, what a talkative fellow."
Frustrated by the strange looks they were giving her, Chakravartin felt inexplicably more irritable.
Chapter 369 What are the conditions for Anti-Kevin Armament?
Su: "... That's difficult."
Theresa: "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
The headmistress had just heard two words, two completely inexplicable words. If it weren't for the blank expressions on everyone else's faces, she would have wondered if she was hallucinating.
Sue: "Wanting a stable home sounds simple, but if the variable is the apocalypse, it will be an incredibly difficult thing."
Sue: "Given the circumstances at the time, what was needed was more than just a simple shelter."
Su: "We need sufficient military force to fight the Honkai Beast, sufficient medical drugs to save patients infected with Honkai Disease from death, a well-developed industrial system, and for most of the surviving people to believe in the goodness of the world..."
And so on and so forth. In the context of a world in Honkai and destruction, how difficult it is to find a stable home.
Otherwise, Chakravartin, who did not agree with the Fire Moth's ideology, would not have gone against his own wishes and chosen to stay with the Fire Moth.
Although the Fire Moth of the Previous Era were useless and riddled with problems, they were indeed a mainstay in the fight against the Honkai.
[Q&A begins.]
What are the activation conditions for Anti-Kevin Armament Model 666?
[A: Flame-Chasers and his allies pass.]
[B: The minority obeys the majority.]
[C: The Will of Elysia.]
[D: Anti-Kevin Armament Model 665. ]
A new Q&A session ensued, and this time everyone's attention was focused on Vill-V.
The Anti-Kevin Armament Model 666 this guy; it's a crazy invention that can wipe out the entire Previous Era Elysian Realm with a single click.
Vill-V: "No, what do you mean by all looking at me? It's obvious this thing isn't in my hands at all."
Even if you let Vill-V keep those dangerous bombs and make her take on that responsibility, she wouldn't dare.
Theresa: "No, I just suddenly realized, what was your original purpose in creating this Anti-Kevin Armament?"
Vill-V: "Since it's Anti-Kevin Armament, it must be used to deal with Kevin, otherwise what else could it be used for?"
I don't understand. I Vill-V don't understand these people's thought processes.
All she did was make a model to Anti-Kevin Armament, why are you all making such a fuss?
Kiana: "No, no, no, generally speaking, when dealing with an individual, there's absolutely no need to drag innocent people down with them and kill them on the spot."
