Chapter 243

This answer made the Herrscher of Corruption feel that Cosmo was somewhat abnormal, completely different from the Cosmo she had read about in the data of other Flame-Chasers.

"Stop joking, Cosmo, please, consider this a request."

The Herrscher of Corruption reached out her hand, and at the same time, Elysia's weapon displayed immense power in her hand.

"Winning this battle here is a foregone conclusion for me; I don't want to end up with both sides suffering the consequences again."

"No need for further words!"

"Although I was prepared from the beginning, it's really ironic now when I think about it."

The Herrscher of Corruption stretched out her hand, raised her head to show her palm, and said self-deprecatingly.

"Even though I'm supposed to be the villain, I have to keep urging you to live."

You couldn't find a villain as absurd as her anywhere in the world.

"Of course, Herrscher of Corruption... I look more like the villain! Right?"

Cosmo crouched down, a massive amount of Honkai Energy overflowing from his body, his sharp claws and ferocious face outlining the appearance of a demon.

Once his wings were fully grown and his claws took shape, he completely transformed into the form of Honkai Beast.

"Cosmo, why have you let yourself become like this? Look, you can't even speak properly now. Griseo is waiting for you outside."

While offering gentle advice, the Herrscher of Corruption had already prepared her weapon.

She simply didn't want to fight Cosmo, not because she was afraid of it. In the end, she would be the victor no matter what; it would just take time.

A nimble bow was drawn taut, and the arrow hurtled towards the demon, wounding his body step by step.

Kiana: "After unleashing the Hypermutation Overload, will I become like this?"

Raven: "It seems so."

Raven had a premonition that Cosmo, despite his quiet and reserved demeanor, was actually more dangerous than anyone else.

What started as a killer's instinctive warning has now been proven by ample evidence.

The form that Cosmo takes when it transforms into Honkai Beast cannot be described as friendly, no matter how you look at it.

Vill-V: "So? What were your impressions of this big guy the first time you saw it? Was it terrifying and powerful? I was quite startled."

Raiden Mei: "We can see that without you reminding us. And Vill-V, why are you so smug?"

Cosmo was willing to pay the price, transforming into a Herrscher of Corruption that even the Honkai Beast of Corruption couldn't easily defeat in the short term. Why is Vill-V getting so worked up here?

Vill-V: "This brings us to what happened before, to the testing and research following the Cosmo Hypermutation Surgery. I was also involved in that."

Mobius: "Heh, I'm clearly the one in charge."

Vill-V: "Tsk, you have the nerve to say that? Don't you know what you did back then?"

Cosmo energy was fully Hypermutation Overload, causing him to transform into Honkai Beast, a feat largely attributed to Mobius.

But for a human, becoming Honkai Beast is definitely not a glorious thing, even if the power is extremely strong.

Chapter 394 The Second Cosmo

The atmosphere between the two scientists was somewhat strained, since they had both participated in the experiments on Cosmo and had inevitably disagreed during them.

Back then, they were too busy fighting the Honkai and dealing with the Fire Moth, so they could only say a few words to express their dissatisfaction.

Now that the old story has been brought up again, Mobius and Vill-V seem well-prepared for a heated debate.

Cosmo: "Aren't you... afraid?"

The appearance of a monster, a posture that cannot be shown to others.

The soldiers who had fought alongside Cosmo felt a far greater fear of him than the Honkai Beast.

Although no one told Cosmo these things, the subtle changes that occurred were enough for Cosmo to know how others viewed him.

--monster.

A monster that even comrades who entrust their lives to fear.

It's normal that some of the Flame-Chasers who had seen him in this state remained calm, but the little girls from Current Era only marveled at his appearance rather than feared it.

Cosmo was quite surprised.

Kiana: "Scared? What's there to be afraid of? I'm not that cowardly."

Himeko Murata: "Fear doesn't come from looking at appearances, but from within. If you're worried about us being frightened by Honkai Beast, Cosmo, you're really overthinking it."

Teacher Himeko patted Kiana on the shoulder.

They are battle-hardened Valkyrie who have seen countless Honkai Beasts, so how could they be frightened by such a scene?

Pardofelis: "Amo, don't worry, Flame-Chasers... I'm the most timid person in the whole Chat Group. Even I'm not afraid, so how could anyone distance themselves from you because of fear?"

Vill-V: "Little Pardo, are you really not afraid?"

If such a huge Honkai Beast appeared in front of Pardofelis, it would probably scare her so much her legs would go weak.

Pardofelis: "No, don't worry! Amo is a regular customer of ours. All the junk items that the store can't sell... I mean the cheap and exquisite items, are all sold to Amo."

Cosmo: "... Sorry."

With his worries gone, Cosmo felt refreshed and in a wonderfully relaxed mood.

[In the scene, the Herrscher of Herrscher of Corruption's arrows pierced Cosmo's body, only to be shattered by his powerful Honkai Energy. Despite repeated attacks over a long period, Cosmo still did not fall.]

"You've been consuming yourself ever since just now?!"

The Herrscher of Corruption stared at Cosmo, a look of surprise on her face.

Simply entering the Hypermutation Overload state to amplify power is indeed meaningless in the face of the Herrscher of Corruption. Once infected with the Corruption Virus, it is fatal to any Memory Body.

But just now, Cosmo kept devouring its own corrupted self, successfully breaking the irreversible corruption process.

"It's a pity. This does provide some relief, but it still can't stop me."

The Herrscher of Corruption calmly analyzed the situation and gradually realized just how troublesome it was.

While Cosmo's act of devouring itself cannot completely stop her encroachment, it can certainly slow her progress to a great extent.

It takes much longer than the time it takes to pick cherry blossoms.

Chasing Raiden Mei is a must, and the time that would normally be more than enough will likely be far from sufficient if Cosmo holds them back.

"Elysia, what would you do if you were in her shoes?"

The Herrscher of Corruption asked himself this question.

There is a significant difference between her and Elysia, a gap that cannot be bridged by data. Unless Elysia is resurrected, the questions she raises are destined to remain unanswered.

But Elysia's resurrection is the greatest disaster for the Herrscher of Corruption.

However, one thing is certain: Elysia never hesitates when making a decision.

Thinking this, the Herrscher of Corruption slowly placed her palm on her heart.

"Cosmo, please forgive me."

"My beloved people have already received eternal and beautiful life within my body. If I let you continue like this, I will surely push them to their deaths once again!"

"Is this what it feels like to be caught between two evils? At least now, I understand how you feel. If this is the path you've chosen... I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen, but for everyone's sake, I have no choice but to delete you completely!"

The Herrscher of Corruption finally decided to use the ability that could easily solve everything, an ability she had only used once.

Using this power, Cosmo will be permanently erased, just like Elysia, and will completely disappear from the Previous Era Elysian Realm.

"I promise you, Cosmo, after everything is over, I will try my best to rebuild you!"

The Herrscher of Corruption mourns the passing of Flame-Chasers, or perhaps feels grief for other reasons.

But at this moment, Cosmo's data had indeed been deleted by her.

It was effortless, happening in a mere instant.

The Herrscher of Corruption looked in the direction Mei had left, turned around, and walked towards the opposite bank without looking back.

Just then, the previously deleted Cosmo reappeared and attacked the Herrscher of Corruption from behind.

In that instant, the Herrscher of Corruption, in her omnipotent state, reacted, not only dodging Cosmo's attack but also trapping him in the process.

"How is that possible? The deletion was definitely completed, I clearly..."

Just a second ago, the Herrscher of Corruption was surprised by the sudden appearance of the Cosmo, but the next second she saw through the true nature of the Cosmo in front of her at a glance.

She really deleted the Cosmo just now, and the individual that has appeared now can also be considered Cosmo.

"It's truly lifelike. It seems I really missed a lot during the time when Sakura prevented me from knowing everything."

The Herrscher of Corruption wore a smile.

The Cosmo before us is not as powerful as the one that appeared earlier; deleting it is much simpler.

The Herrscher of Corruption drew her bow and struck him with a single blow, declaring the death of the Cosmo.

Thirteen Flame-Chasers, including the Cosmo of the Insignia of Dawn, vanished completely from the Elysian Realm.

The video ends here.

Pardofelis: "Amo, you..."

Unlike Pardo, who has the possibility of returning, or Sakura, who is forever trapped in a dream after being corrupted.

Cosmo faces the same fate as Elysia: his data has been permanently erased, and even collecting data from the memories of other Flame-Chasers cannot bring him back to life.

Cosmo: "It's alright."

It's not an unacceptable outcome.

The Herrscher of Corruption has arrived in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, and no Flame-Chasers can escape its grasp.

For Cosmo, ending his life in such a battle, buying precious time for his comrades and for the final victory, was already a beautiful ending.

Cosmo: "The Morning Light cannot illuminate the night sky; they can only provide a brief illumination, lighting up people's vision before the Stars appear."

Chapter 395 Resurrection? It was Griseo who did it!

If Sue can complete her plan during this precious time, Raiden Mei be able to carve out her own space in her mind and welcome back Elysia, who was the first to disappear.

Then, the Morning Light had already illuminated the night sky for a fleeting moment.

Cosmo fulfilled the mission of the Insignia of Dawn, but unfortunately he could not delay the Herrscher of Corruption for too long, as the Herrscher of Corruption's ability to erase everything was too powerful.

Vill-V: "After the Morning Light, will the Stars surely follow?"

Not only was Vill-V suspicious, but they all squinted, pondering the appearance of the second Cosmo.

Raiden Mei: "I was just about to ask, Cosmo, do you have the ability to revive a second time?"

Cosmo: "Among the Flame-Chasers, only Mobius possesses this ability."

Based on Cosmo's understanding of himself, Vishnu's genes do not possess the ability to develop in the direction of [resurrection], unless Mobius and Vill-V deliberately conceal this from him for some reason.

The battle with the Herrscher of Corruption just now clearly showed that his data was deleted twice.

This is something that could never happen in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.

Pardofelis: "Sister Snake, could this be a backup plan you left behind?"

Mobius: "Oh? You've already identified me as the culprit?"

Raiden Mei: "In the entire Previous Era Elysian Realm, I can't think of anyone else who could have done something like this."

Sue couldn't do that. He might be able to forcibly prolong his life after being severely injured, or use his own data to replace Cosmo was deleted, but he definitely couldn't achieve this kind of second resurrection in a short period of time.

As for Vill-V... it shouldn't be her either.

Vill-V's strength lies in her thinking style; as for her resurrection, we'll have to rely on Mobius.

Mobius: "Ha, did you hear that, Vill-V? This time, I won."

Vill-V: "Tsk."

Ever since Mobius expressed her belief that she was better than Vill-V on screen last time, his competitive spirit has intensified considerably.

Previously, when we Fire Moth, everyone was busy with their own things and kept to themselves.
