Chapter 237

Kiana: "No, no, no, that's just her own opinion."

The answer clearly states that the Herrscher of Corruption was defeated at the psychological level, so why does it sound completely different coming from Apponia?

It was as if she were trying to persuade the Herrscher of Corruption to lay down their weapons and become a Buddha on the spot.

Chakravartin: "Mental level... Hmph, a spiritual perception type, still so annoying."

Su: "Chakravartin, I don't think you can generalize and condemn everyone."

Chakravartin: "Shut up, you blind man. You're just as annoying!"

PS:

Due to the pandemic, online classes were delayed for a month, and now we really have to go back to in-person classes, so the update speed will definitely not be as fast as before.

And damn it, there's no holiday for National Day!

Calm down, calm down. With the pandemic easing, San San is happy about going back to school. You'll see.

San San was laughing as she drove around with Seele and Bronya when they ran into Kevin, who pulled out a police badge.

Chapter 384 Herrscher of Corruption, Please Come into My Arms

Su: "Sigh."

Oh well, I'm used to it. I'm always with Chakravartin, and arguing isn't a solution.

Moreover, Su also admitted that the abilities of the Fusion Warrior with the ability to perceive the mind were indeed somewhat contrary to human reason. His Karmic Wheel, observe things, and even perceive things Sumeru World-Bubble was fine.

Apponia's Precepts are truly unreasonable.

Even Herrscher of Corruption would probably have to be extremely careful when dealing with Apponia. If she dared to act as recklessly as she did with Raiden Mei and the others, and Apponia were to capture her mind, things would get really interesting.

[Congratulations to Apponia for winning the reward: Life Coin.]

Apponia: "Fate always brings pain, but it also always brings surprises. So, let me keep it safe."

For the time being, Apponia doesn't have anything she really wants to go back to.

Whether it's the children infected with Honkai Disease or the things that Fire Moth, she believes her other companions will make arrangements.

All I need to do is bind my own hands and put the Precepts in Shackles; that would be the greatest help I can offer them right now.

In the scene, Apponia traces the memories of the Herrscher of Corruption, and thanks to the conditions created by Chakravartin with their lives, she is able to touch the Corrupting Virus.

Despite the looming shadow of death, Apponia remained calm.

Instead, he used his own body to resist the spread of the virus, and used this contact to forcibly enter the memories of the Herrscher of Corruption.

The place where she is is the data center of the Herrscher of Corruption virus, and also the place where her memories can be probed.

However, Apponia gradually became impatient.

She could only wander through one memory after another, unable to touch the soul that Herrscher of Corruption.

"No matter how much human emotion it gains, it is still essentially a virus, and my abilities will likely be ineffective."

Apponia looked down at the shadow on her hand, blaming herself as usual.

The conditions that Chakravartin created for her with her life allowed her to touch the Herrscher of Corruption, but she could only explore memories and could not touch consciousness.

As the most unique individual in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, Apponia can access information from the past through the corrosive virus on her hands.

Whether it's Sakura's innocence, the existence of the Herrscher, or the truth behind the incident, Apponia was able to obtain them all single-handedly without any external assistance.

But that's all there is to it.

"If I could intervene in her mind, perhaps I could guide her onto the right path."

Apponia murmured.

Although the Herrscher of Corruption is invincible as data, she will develop a mind comparable to a human as she grows, which is actually an opportunity for Apponia.

[A possibility to defeat the Herrscher of Corruption from a psychological level.]

Chakravartin: "Tsk."

Pardofelis: "Sister Nia, you're amazing!"

Durandal: "Apponia's abilities are truly a bit too unreasonable."

What the hell? In order to fight against the Herrscher of Corruption, the others either faced a fierce final battle or were completely defeated.

But Apponia is truly different; she actually used the virus that Herrscher of Corruption to invade her consciousness instead.

Apponia even planned to bypass the powerful corrosive force of data and directly target her mind to deliver a heavy blow.

I just don't know if the Herrscher of Corruption is aware of this.

Apponia: "It was all just a facade of strength. From the moment I was corrupted, I was already mired in a quagmire from which I could not extricate myself. The ending was already predetermined."

The virus that Herrscher of Corruption was still in her body and had not dissipated. Apponia knew that she was far from being as glamorous as she appeared on the surface.

Pardofelis: "But Sister Nia, you are currently the only one among us who can suppress the spread of the corrosive virus and prevent it from invading her consciousness."

Apponia: "It's just borrowing the special characteristics of the Previous Era Elysian Realm. If you were to fight with your true form, you could do the same."

Elysia: "Apponia, that's a bit of an exaggeration."

It is precisely because of the Previous Era Elysian Realm that the Herrscher of Corruption are able to become so powerful and unreasonable, like the Finality.

In reality, would a Herrscher of Corruption who can't even pull off a clever trick dare to challenge Thirteen Flame-Chasers in a one-on-one fight?

One hit from each of them, and her head would be knocked askew.

In the scene, Apponia wanders through the memories of the Herrscher in the dormitory, slowing down the process of erosion, which is a drain on her.

Furthermore, Apponia lingered in this region for far too long.

After being corrupted, Apponia made two decisions based on her unique location in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, and divided her energy in two, pursuing them simultaneously.

Firstly, establish a connection with the consciousness of the Herrscher of Corruption and reshape them to resolve the crisis.

Secondly, by using their mental perception abilities, they can delay the time it takes for their data to be completely eroded, thus maintaining control over their own data.

"But now, I have less and less time. Are both considerations going to fail?"

Apponia looked at her palm with a troubled expression.

A green shadow was spreading across his arm; the threat of death drew ever closer.

Now, Apponia must abandon one of these options and focus all its efforts on a more promising path.

"If the erosion deepens, I might be able to penetrate into her consciousness, but if I still haven't found an opportunity to erode her consciousness after that, then it will be a meaningless sacrifice."

You can stay here and rummage through your memories, but there's also the possibility of gaining nothing.

Apponia fell into deep thought.

It's rare to see her like this, someone who can see into the future and understand fate.

Is this what it feels like to not know what the future holds, yet still have to make a choice?

Since becoming Fusion Warrior, acquiring Mitra's Hypervariable Factor, and gaining the ability to see through fate, how long has it been since she felt like this?

Apponia couldn't remember how much time had passed, but faced with this choice, she was more hesitant than the average person.

"Elysia, is this also your wish?"

Apponia placed her hand on her chest.

A unique feeling stirred within her, perhaps a sense of novelty, or perhaps simply a feeling of comfort.

Although she didn't know where her future would lead, Apponia still felt that doing so made sense.

But she didn't have much time left.

"Well, let's leave it at that then."

Apponia reached out, and a dark golden divine arm spread across her body, an irresistible force drawing everything around her in.

"Come, Herrscher of Corruption, [please]... come into my embrace!"

The scene had undergone a dramatic transformation, a transformation so profound that it was enough to cause anomalies in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.

At the same time, such a change was so easy that no one noticed what Apponia had done.

She caused no damage, did not harm the foundations of Apponia, but merely pulled herself into a space.

Chapter 385 Who did Apponia encounter?

Within the space comprised of data, Apponia lingers.

She saw Chakravartin's figure here, and even Vill-V appeared in front of her.

Apponia was momentarily confused. Was what she saw before her the preserved consciousness of the Flame-Chasers, or a counterfeit created by the Dormitory Herrscher based on her understanding?

Apponia couldn't tell the difference; she could only try to communicate with Chakravartin.

"Chakravartin, didn't you come here voluntarily?"

"Voluntary? The things I need to do are far from over."

Chakravartin clenched his fists and laughed cruelly.

"Just take me away from here, and then we'll kill every single human being. Eradicate all those filthy, arrogant, weak, and incompetent beings, okay?!"

"Enough, Herrscher of Corruption."

Apponia's expression instantly turned serious, her cold eyes fixed on the figure opposite her.

"Chakravartin is my friend. If you want to declare your victory, you can use other methods."

Apponia was certain that the person before her was definitely not Chakravartin.

Even though she had guessed this, Chakravartin's behavior still puzzled her.

"The Herrscher of Corruption? What are you talking about? Wasn't it sealed in a box a long time ago?"

"..."

Apponia remained silent.

It seems things aren't going as she expected. At least, there are several strange and familiar beings in front of her, whose tone is somewhat like Elysia's, but they are not beings she knows.

With that in mind, Apponia approached Vill-V was standing nearby.

But Vill-V's condition wasn't much better than Chakravartin's; she didn't look like Vill-V at all. Apponia fell into deep thought, wondering where things had gone wrong.

The only clue at present is that Chakravartin and Vill-V's data contain too much of Elysia's information.

Apponia has reason to suspect that she is the key to unraveling everything.

But after searching the entire space, Apponia couldn't find Elysia anywhere, and she couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment.

"Yes, she wasn't corrupted, so how could she be here?"

Apponia said regretfully.

Unlike them, Elysia's data was deleted, and she completely disappeared from the Previous Era Elysian Realm.

"However, every single consciousness here truly embodies Elysia's traits."

"Could it be what I think? Not just her appearance, demeanor, and tone of voice, but even her emotions have been stolen by the Herrscher of Corruption?"

"Her erosion of Flame-Chasers was actually out of love?"

Apponia was undecided for a moment.

Could it be that everything the Herrscher of Corruption has done is truly just a way to save the lives of the Flame-Chasers?

If what she thinks is true, then the sacrifices she made to come here would have been worthless.

Since the other person's original intention was love, how can you expect her to turn back? Even if that love has already been misplaced.

The video ends here.

Pardofelis: "Fake, it's fake, right?"

What kind of twisted logic is this, that corrupting Flame-Chasers themselves stems from a fervent love for them?

I'm sorry, this love is too profound for Pardofelis to bear.

Elysia: "The Herrscher of Corruption is, after all, just a child. What if this is how she understands love?"
