Chapter 252
The Herrscher of Corruption is not human; she is not given an end from birth. As long as she is not killed, the Herrscher of Corruption's life is Infinity.
She will have ample time to find the meaning of life.
"Aren't you going to continue refuting this?"
"I've already convinced her," the Herrscher of Corruption asked, but Hua remained silent.
Hua shook his head and said, "As long as the Lord can keep you here, I won't care what you say."
Delay for as long as possible.
Now that the Herrscher of Corruption is willing to abandon the pursuit and have a long talk with her here, Hua is overjoyed and would never deny her.
That's why I said you don't understand my feelings at all.
The Herrscher of Corruption sighed.
"Hua, in a sense, you are the most special one among the Memory Body. Therefore, I will also give you the most special arrangements."
They have no intention of further encroaching on China.
For the Herrscher of Corruption, corrupting another Flame-Chasers would make her remaining time incredibly short.
"Since you don't mind that you're destined to fail, and just want to know what else you can do, I'm happy to reserve the right for you to explore."
"From now on, I will continue to let you rebel, just as I did before. Since this is how you survive, I don't mind letting it continue like this."
"I will not use any power that could defeat you, so that you can remain like this forever."
As the Herrscher of Corruption finished speaking, countless monsters appeared around them, protecting Hua within their ranks.
The moment the monster attacked, Hua reacted instinctively, dodging the blade aimed at his neck, using his waist to turn and grab the monster's tail, then cleaved it in two with a palm strike.
Then came the second one, and the third one.
The girl's lithe and powerful figure swayed among the monsters; with her superb martial arts skills, every move she made could inflict massive damage.
Before long, Hua was surrounded by the corpses of monsters.
"Time is of the essence; we can't afford to delay any longer."
Seeing the monsters rushing towards him one after another, Hua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The Herrscher of Corruption did indeed use only power equal to hers, which was not enough to kill her, but it did restrict her movements.
Hua watched the departing figure of the Herrscher of Corruption, gritted her teeth, and said, "Although the hope is slim, let's give it a try."
After a moment's thought, a crimson feather appeared in Hua's hand, then vanished with her thoughts.
Fifty Thousand Years, when she first faced the Herrscher of Corruption, she used the same method to save the lives of her companions.
But the danger now is far greater than it was before.
Hua calmed herself down, and the second rated power of Fenghuang Down helped her enter the monster's consciousness. The move, which was originally somewhat useless, could now be used for long-distance movement, as a breakthrough in the predicament.
"Etc!"
Hua hadn't even used her last resort when the anomaly before her made her gasp in surprise.
She projected her consciousness into the enemy's body. In the Previous Era Elysian Realm, consciousness and data were everything to Flame-Chasers. Such an act would surely cause the physical form to dissipate.
However, when Hua turned around, he found that his body was still standing in the same spot.
Chapter 409 The Preferential Treatment of the Herrscher of Corruption
What happened?
Hua pondered various possibilities: a clone of the Key of Consciousness, or a trap left by the Herrscher of Corruption.
Either way, it signifies the end of her plan.
Hua's thoughts quickly returned to her body, and at the same time, a strange feeling spread through her body, as if she were existing in different bodies at the same time.
"This original body is me, and the monster's consciousness that I just controlled is also me?"
Hua analyzed the possibilities. "Could it be that what allowed me to control it just now wasn't the power of the Eighth Divine Key?"
While she was contemplating, the changes in the outside world continued; all the monsters were now under control, and everything was so bizarre.
After pondering for a while without success, Hua finally gave up and continued to pursue the Herrscher of Corruption.
In just a few blinks, she caught up with the Herrscher of Corruption.
What surprised her even more was that the monsters that had once been controlled by the Herrscher of Corruption were now silently falling at her feet.
"You've come, Hua."
The Herrscher of Corruption turned around, her face filled with a desolate sadness.
In the past, this expression would also appear on Elysia's face, but for various reasons, people thought it was just a disguise.
At this moment, Hua also couldn't understand why Herrscher of Corruption would feel such sorrow.
"What's wrong with them? They shouldn't be doing this, right?"
The Herrscher of Corruption pointed at the fallen monster on the ground and asked in a pitiful tone.
"I love you all so much, and I love them just as much."
However, those obedient children who were just moments ago now turned into monsters controlled by the Herrscher of Corruption and launched an attack on her.
The result, naturally, was a complete rout.
The weak monster was no match for the Flame-Chasers, let alone the Herrscher of Corruption had eroded the data of several Flame-Chasers.
What just happened wasn't a battle, but a one-sided massacre.
"Tell me, Hua, if you deeply love some people, yet choose to hurt others you deeply love, how did Elysia do it?"
The Herrscher of Corruption's tone was erratic, indicating that she was in a very unsettled state of mind.
"Whatever her motives, she ultimately chose to become your enemy, right?"
As the Herrscher of Corruption finished speaking, Hua instinctively assumed a fighting stance, an instinct she had developed through countless brushes with death.
Immediately afterwards, a feeling of unease, like a thorn in her side, spread through Hua's heart, tearing at every nerve.
"This power... if she wants to defeat me..."
At this moment, Hua truly experienced the despair that comes with powerlessness.
That doesn't belong to the category of Flame-Chasers at all.
Including Kevin, the strongest in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, the Herrscher of Corruption already possesses the complete data of several Flame-Chasers.
A casual strike almost caused Hua's consciousness to dissipate.
Hua realized that if the Herrscher of Corruption really wanted to kill her, it could do so at any time.
"Hua, can you still hear me?"
After the attack, Hua collapsed to the ground, barely alive. The Herrscher of Corruption walked to her side, squatted down, and asked.
"I'm only taking away your freedom of movement; I won't let you die like this."
The Herrscher of Corruption whispered in Hua's ear, "Now you know I wasn't lying, right? If I really wanted you to stop bothering me, wouldn't it be easy?"
Hua was speechless.
That blow had nearly caused her body to collapse; she couldn't even manage to stand up.
"In short, everything I said before still stands. You should rest here for a while."
The Herrscher of Corruption stood up, turned around, and walked away step by step with her back to Hua.
She also wants to find the culprit behind this anomaly and make them pay for their actions.
The video ends here.
Fu Hua: "... As expected of the Herrscher of Corruption corrupted Kevin, Chakravartin Flame-Chasers, and numerous other heroes."
Although being knocked to the ground by the Herrscher of Corruption and unable to get up for a long time was somewhat embarrassing, Fu Hua accepted it in light of the opponent's overwhelming power.
The only thing the Memory Body can do when facing the Herrscher of Corruption is to buy time.
Kiana: "Uh, class president, don't be discouraged. At least you've tried your best."
Fu Hua: "Compared to the other Flame-Chasers, my performance is indeed somewhat shameful."
It's just a tiny bit off.
Even Griseo included herself in the painting, which delayed the Herrscher of Corruption for a moment, but she was still defeated by the Herrscher of Corruption in one blow.
The Immortal Crimson Bird was losing face.
The Herrscher of Reason: "Old Timer, think positively. At least you can provoke the Herrscher of Corruption multiple times, and she still lets you off the hook."
Fu Hua: "... I don't think this is praiseworthy."
I don't know what the Herrscher of Corruption was thinking. Fu Hua was clearly prepared to watch herself fight the Herrscher of Corruption with all her might, and then bravely sacrifice herself along with the other Flame-Chasers.
The fact that the Herrscher of Corruption was unwilling to kill her is quite intriguing.
It's not because it's impossible.
The Herrscher of Corruption has just demonstrated her almost invincible power.
Pardofelis: "Hua, is there something special about you that makes the Herrscher of Corruption show you mercy?"
If such a thing existed, Pardofelis would reserve a dozen for herself and then sell them to the other Flame-Chasers, one for each.
Fu Hua: "No, we're all Memory Body. I can't think of anything about me that would make Herrscher of Corruption."
Su: "Perhaps it's because we empathize."
Hua is swept along by her mission, drifting with the tide throughout her long life, while the Herrscher of Corruption is limited by her instinct to erode, similarly aimlessly eroding everything.
Bronya: "Bronya thinks that perhaps it's because of the matter between Cosmo and Griseo that the Herrscher of Corruption's mentality has collapsed."
Sue: "That's part of the reason."
As Herrscher follows her instincts and desires to live, her reaction has been very unusual ever since she witnessed Griseo's act of painting her into the canvas.
That lovely, lively face was filled with regret and sorrow after that incident.
Griseo: "Did I do something wrong?"
Little Griseo tilted her head, wondering what it had to do with her.
Cosmo: "No, Griseo, you did very well... but don't do it again next time."
Griseo: "Why?"
If she did it so well, why not let her do it again? Adults' thinking is really strange.
Elysia: "It's not Little Griseo's fault, it's that she couldn't figure everything out. You just need to know that you didn't do anything wrong."
Griseo: "Okay, Little Sister Elysia."
Elysia: "Mmm, Little Griseo a good girl."
Chapter 410 is about Mobius!
Elysia found Griseo increasingly adorable; if Cosmo hadn't been watching, she would have loved to hold her in her arms and shower her with affection.
Fu Hua: "But I still can't understand it. The Herrscher of Corruption could kill me at any time, so why did she hesitate?"
The Herrscher of Corruption was no benevolent being; she deleted Kevin, stole Kevin data, and corrupted Chakravartin and most of the Flame-Chasers.
Out of rage, she even burned away the last traces of Griseo and Cosmo in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.
However, when facing Hua, the Herrscher of Corruption had the ability to kill Hua, but she did not make a move.
Fu Hua is reflecting.
Could it be true, as the Herrscher of Corruption said, that because she empathizes with them, she is unwilling to harm them, and that the Herrscher of Corruption truly loves them?
Vill-V: "Hesitation? Hua, no matter how you look at it, isn't that just [indulging] the Herrscher of Corruption?"
Hua rushed forward to her death time and time again, but the Herrscher of Corruption spared her time and time again.
In order not to harm Fu Hua, she controlled her power perfectly.
Such treatment is something no other Flame-Chasers has received.
