Chapter 238
Raiden Mei: "..."
That cannot be refuted.
That child was brought into the Previous Era Elysian Realm by Raiden Mei. He received no love from a young age and was instead subjected to all sorts of beatings. It wouldn't be surprising if his mind developed in a distorted way.
Of course, all of this is predicated on Apponia's guess being correct.
Bronya: "Putting aside subjective feelings and stances, once the Herrscher of Corruption erodes the data of the Flame-Chasers, as long as she doesn't disappear, she can indeed keep the data in a state of permanence."
Kiana: "I don't think it's reliable. That Herrscher of Corruption doesn't look like a good person at all!"
Himeko Murata: "Kiana, you're just holding a grudge, aren't you?"
Kiana was jealous because of Raiden Mei's relationship with Elysia, which was obvious to everyone.
Moreover, they could really understand Kiana's feelings.
If Elysia and Raiden Mei were completely innocent and had nothing to hide before, then Kiana was simply jealous.
So after the Herrscher of Corruption appeared, it became clear that something was off about their relationship.
They must be at least friends; otherwise, Mei wouldn't have gotten so angry when she saw the Herrscher of Corruption imitating Elysia.
Sue: "Apponia, you're in terrible shape."
On screen, Apponia's body has begun to be covered by green shadows, a sign that she is about to perish.
Even if Apponia is special in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, it can only delay the erosion of the Herrscher of Corruption.
Now, having abandoned the option of slowing the erosion and chosen to gamble everything, Apponia is about to meet its end.
Apponia: "It's alright. I deserve this punishment for my sins, but unfortunately, I still failed to accomplish anything in the end."
She was clearly the most unique individual in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, yet she died from the erosion before she even had a chance to exert her power.
Elysia: "Don't worry, Apponia, maybe things will turn out differently."
[Q&A begins.]
[Which long-dormant Memory Body did Apponia encounter in the memories of the Herrscher in the dormitory?]
[A: Kevin.]
[B: Eden.]
[C: Mobius.]
[D: Su.]
Elysia: "I told you, when you think you've reached a dead end, there's always a way out."
Apponia: "So, someone actually offered me a helping hand here."
Unfortunately, Apponia knew her own condition well; she knew that no matter who came now, they probably couldn't save her shattered body.
Raiden Mei: "Actually, they may not necessarily be here to save Apponia."
The battle with the Herrscher of Corruption has continued until now, with some dead and others wounded. Maybe she was waiting here specifically to ask Apponia for help.
Apponia: "That's alright. Being able to see my companions at the end of my life makes up for some of the regrets of the ending."
Pardofelis: "Boss Kevin should be with me, Sister Snake, Sister Eden... they all seem like a good match."
Kevin also fits the description.
After all, according to Vill-V's initial plan, Kevin was meant to be a surprise attack to deliver a heavy blow to the Herrscher of Corruption.
Although it's unclear how long this hidden force will remain hidden, it seems its time is almost up.
A large number of the Flame-Chasers have died, Raiden Mei been taken away by Su to carry out the final plan. Kevin, if you don't come out and cause trouble soon, it will be too late!
Eden: "The Memory Space is not my domain. My presence here is of no help, and may even be a burden."
Chapter 386 Mobius is about to show off his skills
The task of invading Herrscher of Corruption's memories should be left to professionals, such as Sue or Apponia.
Other types of Fusion Warrior who infiltrate here will instead become trapped.
Sue: "Unfortunately, at least in the realm of Apponia, I am not the one who will break the deadlock."
Both being Fusion Warrior with a similar level of mental perception, Su's abilities were not significantly different from Apponia's.
Moreover, even if he were to infiltrate Herrscher of Corruption's memories, he wouldn't be able to deliver a severe blow on the mental level like Apponia could.
Unless Sue is willing to take a desperate gamble and use all her power to find the mind of the Herrscher of Corruption, thus creating an opportunity for Apponia.
But if these two Flame-Chasers give their all and end up with nothing, such a gamble is not worth it.
Mobius: "What are you guessing? Why didn't any of you think it was me?"
I'm annoyed. What's wrong with these people?
Knowing she hadn't finished filming yet, why did you automatically ignore her at this time?
Kiana: "Mobius, I remember you said before that you would easily defeat the Herrscher of Corruption by yourself, right?"
Mobius: "Tsk, pick Mobius!"
[Correct answer.]
If that's the case, then she really did hire outside help.
The reason is quite simple, and Mobius could guess it: her body had already declared death, and she was in a state of consciousness.
Therefore, she needs some assistance to gain the authority to act.
Apponia: "I never imagined that you would be the one to witness my final moments?"
Mobius: "I have no interest in witnessing your end; I'm just taking advantage of your special qualities in the Elysian Realm."
Apponia: "Thank you very much."
At least in the end, everything she did was not in vain.
[Congratulations to Mobius for receiving the reward: Purifying Powder.]
[Summary: When steeped in water and consumed, this drink can alleviate work fatigue, relieve the aftereffects of working overtime, and also help with hangovers and detoxification.]
Mobius: "It's nothing special... Never mind, keep it for Klein."
After all, Klein worked so hard, and Mobius felt he couldn't treat her unfairly.
Mobius smiled benevolently, without reflecting on the fact that he himself was the one who had unjustly increased Klein's workload, forcing him to stay up all night and not finish his work every day.
In the scene, Apponia lowers her head, a feeling of helplessness spreading through her.
While everyone else is fighting against a powerful enemy, she is trapped in this world, unable to escape, and even the plan she prepared at the beginning has completely failed.
"Um?!"
Apponia suddenly realized something.
There was something unusual about Vill-V's reaction that she hadn't noticed, something that didn't belong to Elysia.
If we follow this explanation, then her conjecture was wrong from the start.
"Is this not Herrscher of Corruption?"
But she arrived here through a virus that eroded her body. If the space before her wasn't Herrscher of Corruption's mind, then what else could it be?
Apponia suddenly noticed a green mass in the distance.
"So, it was you."
The substance was eerie, emanating a terrifying aura, and there just happened to be someone in the Previous Era Elysian Realm who matched it.
This is not the Herrscher of Corruption, but rather Mobius's domain. The abnormality that Vill-V experienced just now did not originate from Elysia, but from Mobius.
"I'm so glad to meet you here, Mobius."
Apponia smiled with satisfaction.
Mobius emerged from the green shadows. "Alright, I'm the one who should be making that kind of face."
From the moment his body fell, Mobius found this place, where he lay dormant, waiting for Apponia's arrival.
Only Apponia can help her complete the rest of the plan.
"You've kept me waiting too long. What, do you really think I'd let things end so hastily?" Mobius asked.
Apponia shook her head, denying it, saying, "If someone has such thoughts, it only means she knows nothing about you."
Snakes are not creatures that succumb to death.
The Shed the Golden Cicada's Shell and rising from the dead is merely a trick that Mobius often uses.
Furthermore, the presence of Mobius here explains the unusual behavior of Chakravartin and Vill-V earlier.
"Mobius, was your experiment successful?" Apponia asked.
Mobius raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Is it something to be surprised about?"
How could there be so many failures in experiments conducted by her personally, at the cost of her own body?
"So, you see me as your last resort?"
Apponia asked.
"If your colleague's condition becomes so severe that even I cannot calm it down, and they have come here because of corruption, then can you confirm the necessity of releasing them?"
"Do you really think I'm such a cautious person?"
Mobius laughed, "Don't flatter yourself, Apponia. The only reason I've waited this long is because you still have some use to me."
The existence of breaking down barriers links Elysian Realm and reality, then sends Mobius to where Klein is.
This is something only Apponia could do.
At this moment, Apponia also understood that Mobius had reached a dead end, otherwise he wouldn't have waited for her here for so long.
However, if Apponia follows her plan, she will also be putting herself in the hands of the Herrscher of Corruption.
If we fail, then everything will have been meaningless.
Raiden Mei: "Apponia, you can even do something like this?"
Connecting Elysian Realm with reality—no matter how you look at it, this is something Memory Body couldn't possibly do, right?
If Apponia truly possessed such abilities, wouldn't leaving the Previous Era Elysian Realm be an easy task if she cooperated with Mobius?
Apponia: "Perhaps, but I am imprisoned by sin, deprived of my freedom, so how could I possibly make such an attempt?"
The Deep is where Apponia buried her secrets, and it is also the prison she left for herself.
She was unwilling to leave and would only continue to guard that place; otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed in the Deep for Fifty Thousand Years.
Mobius: "By merging her spirit with the Elysian Realm, she herself was part of the Previous Era Elysian Realm, and Apponia is naturally omnipotent."
Apponia: "All-powerful... that's quite an exaggeration."
Mobius: "Only you know exactly what you are capable of."
Mobius must have had some resentment about being driven to the brink of despair and ultimately needing Apponia's help to leave.
She is reflecting on where she went too far to end up in this situation.
Chapter 387 Using the Herrscher of Corruption to Counter the Herrscher of Corruption
In the Death Space, Mobius frowned in the laboratory, unaware that the experimental report in her hand had been crumpled into a ball.
Danzhu: "Doctor..."
Mobius: "Don't bother me, I'm thinking about something."
Mobius waved his hand dismissively, no longer wanting to concern himself with matters in the laboratory, and quickly sent Danzhu away.
It's impossible to work diligently, absolutely impossible.
Danzhu: "I guess the Doctor is upset because he wasn't the best player on the field."
Cang Xuan: "Danzhu, Xiao Xiao has been silenced."
Mobius was right across from them, Cang Xuan quickly covered Klein's mouth to stop her from talking nonsense.
