Chapter 260

"Is that really the truth, or are you doubting me, Klein? Waaaaah, I'm so sad, Klein, how could you doubt me?"

Mobius put on an innocent expression, his large, watery eyes welling up with tears, as if he were about to burst into tears at any moment.

"Alright, Doctor, I didn't mean to blame you."

Klein ultimately couldn't handle Mobius like that.

Who told her to end up with someone like Mobius?

"Hehe, I knew Klein was the best."

Mobius's expression changed instantly, and he patted Klein on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Since the budget has been reduced, let's be frugal this month. We've experienced financial deficits before. It's up to you, Klein."

"Yes... Doctor."

Klein slumped his shoulders; he couldn't possibly be happy about losing half the budget.

I just hope the funding for next quarter arrives soon.

Mobius rested his chin on his hand, continuing to admire Klein's focused work, only his gaze inadvertently drifting to the green crystal around her neck.

That wasn't some jewel from Eden.

--Sacrificial Virus Sequence II.

The experiment used Panacea to stimulate the creation of a special virus, but the high cost of the experiment has prevented effective progress.

Mobius was troubled by this for a long time.

After the incident with Vill-V, the viruses were successfully mutated under high pressure. After repeated screening, Mobius obtained the second batch of therapeutic viruses.

The jewel around Klein's neck contained the virus that Mobius had cultivated at great cost.

' Klein, the road to Infinity is too long if I'm alone.'

Mobius turned his head to the side, thinking of his past self.

Even if she walked the right path, created gods, created Stigmata, and even trampled on gods, so what?

Her Klein died in the catastrophe of the Tenth Herrscher!

That gem was one of the trump cards she wanted to use to create a miracle for Klein, a chance to reverse life and death.

The Sequence II viruses are far more powerful than the victims of the battle with Vill-V; they reproduce faster and are more potent.

Even if Klein were cut in half at the waist and shredded into pieces, he could still regenerate through the self-repair process of cells stimulated by the virus.

Mobius believed he wouldn't let that happen, but why not keep another trick up his sleeve for Klein?

Vill-V: "Mobius, I suddenly remembered something."

Mobius: "Oh? Great Trickster, what outlandish, century-defining idea do you have now?"

"It's not exactly a cross-century Vill-V, but I suddenly realized that in our last match, Mobius, you were far too impulsive, weren't you?"

Back then, for the sake of the Mark of the Spiral and the dignity of logistics (referring to funding), Vill-V really went all out.

It's just a drone anyway, nothing important.

But upon calm and careful consideration, how could Mobius possibly expose her trump card to others just to save face?

Sacrificial Virus produced using Panacea.

This kind of precious item, which is equivalent to a second life, should definitely be classified as a confidential file and secured with dozens of security locks.

Mobius: "Heh, I'm just angry, how could I possibly have any other thoughts?"

Pardofelis: "Yes, Sister Vill-V, in the end, what good does it do for Sister Snake to empty her own coffers? I, on the other hand, have gained quite a bit."

For Pardofelis, the battle between Mobius and Vill-V was essentially a clash of titans where they traded equipment.

She made a fortune by collecting scraps.

Vill-V: "Is that so? Then shall I take it that way?"

Since Mobius is unwilling to reveal anything, there's no point in pressing him for details.

Vill-V simply noted it down in her notebook: on a certain day, month, and year, she was used by Mobius.

[Q&A begins.]

After sending Raiden Mei away, Sue entered the interior of the Herrscher of Corruption. Who was the first person he encountered?

[A: Kevin.]

[B: Pardofelis.]

[C: Chakravartin.]

[D: Vill-V.]

Sue: "Herrscher of Corruption's inner self? Does this refer to the depths of her consciousness, or...?"

The Enlightened One frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Apponia once reached the depths of the Herrscher of Corruption's consciousness, but she proved with her death that it was a path that could not be traversed.

As a fellow Flame-Chasers, Sue did not believe he could do better than Apponia.

Sakura: "Su, weren't you supposed to be escorting Raiden Mei, helping her expand her mental domain, and opening up a battlefield against the Herrscher of Corruption?"

Elysia: "It seems Sue has already completed his mission."

Sue: "Sakura, Cosmo, Griseo, Hua... even Mobius. The time they gained with their lives shouldn't be wasted even a quarter of an hour."

The surgery to open the mind takes time, and so does the process of welcoming Elysia back.

After the surgery, Raiden Mei and the remaining Flame-Chasers will still need time. So, after Su completes the surgery, she will also, like the other Flame-Chasers, burn her life to stop the advance of the Herrscher of Corruption.

Mobius: "Buy time for your plans? Don't be so presumptuous. I've never done anything like that. I'm just doing what I want to achieve my own goals."

Mobius refused to admit that Vill-V's plan was superior.

If it weren't for Vill-V's interference, she would have already killed the Herrscher of Corruption, and the Memory Body would have escaped into reality.

Sue: "Even so, it's undeniable that you've attracted the attention of the Herrscher of Corruption."

Sakura: "But who will we encounter inside the Herrscher of Corruption? Most of the Flame-Chasers have been corrupted by now, haven't they?"

Of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, seventy percent had perished, leaving very few survivors.

Elysia: "I don't count. I was deleted from the data. You definitely won't find me inside the Herrscher of Corruption."

Cosmo: "So are Griseo and I."

Cosmo's data was also deleted, while Griseo was turned into a painting, an ordinary painting for the Herrscher of Corruption to corrupt, and was destined not to obtain Flame-Chasers's data.

Bronya: "The key point isn't who Su might encounter, but what he's doing Herrscher of Corruption."

Chapter 422 Has Pardo lost her memory?

The Enlightened One's gaze sees through the truth. Sue's arrival inside the Herrscher of Corruption must be for a new plan, perhaps to destroy it from within, or perhaps to find someone.

Sue: " To Herrscher of Corruption's inner workings, to buy time for Elysia's return... Perhaps, I'm going to find Kevin."

Kevin: "..."

After so long, is it finally my turn to shine?

Kevin wondered why, despite being the strongest Flame-Chasers in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, he always felt like he had no presence.

Even in the fight against the Herrscher of Corruption, Pardofelis was more involved than him.

Oh, it's because that girl, Vill-V, put herself right into Kevin Annihilation Button backdoor from the very beginning.

Elysia: "So, Sue, the person you met was Kevin?"

Su: "It's pretty close, but then I suddenly realized that the interior of Herrscher of Corruption must be an incredibly vast data space, so finding someone there won't be an easy task."

Moreover, in order to save Sakura, he transferred the corrosive virus to himself.

Su couldn't be sure how much strength they had left.

Pardofelis: "That's me! It has to be me! Finding things is our forte."

[Correct answer.]

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

Sue: "If Pardo were here too, then finding Kevin would definitely be possible."

It's safe now.

If it were just Su alone, he wouldn't have much confidence in finding the person, especially within the Herrscher of Corruption's ranks.

But since Pardofelis is there, as long as the price is right, the speed at which they find someone is just as fast.

Pardofelis: "Hehe, I'm no good at fighting, but in this area, you can completely trust me."

Of course, the higher the price, the faster the efficiency.

Pardofelis stared at the screen, eagerly anticipating what reward Su would offer him for doing something.

In the scene, Su, as Memory Body, falls into a special state of death after her body is eroded.

As data that has been corrupted, it is able to maintain its identity within the Herrscher of Corruption due to its unique characteristics.

The sky was pouring down rain, which pattered down on the broken ruins, soaking the grass and flowing over the green moss.

The dark clouds and thunder, oppressive and deep, highlighted the desolation of this place.

"So this is what the interior of Herrscher of Corruption looks like?"

Sue frowned, staring intently at the dilapidated church ahead.

He is already dead. At the level of Memory Body, Su has been corrupted. His consciousness at this moment is nothing more than a dead thing trapped in the abyss, a wandering soul without a master.

"Can't you sense anything?"

As usual, Su tried to use her senses to observe everything around her.

However, he couldn't do it.

Within this space created by the Herrscher of Corruption, aside from maintaining his own identity, Su, as Fusion Warrior with a spiritual perception, was no longer special.

"Fine, as long as I can find Kevin, my abilities are insignificant."

In a short time, Su analyzed the current situation clearly and also sorted out his mindset.

Kevin's strength is the most important thing, and he came here to say a final goodbye to him.

Su walked toward the church across the street, the torrential rain streaming down his face, but unable to affect the pedestrians on the ground.

As Fusion Warrior with the ability to reverse space, Su seemed to have a natural barrier in the rain.

Finding Kevin in this world created by the Herrscher of Corruption is like finding a needle in a haystack. Sue's task is not easy, and she doesn't even have a clue.

Until he saw a familiar figure under the eaves of a church.

"Take a look! Pick whatever you like from the shelves. We guarantee it's genuine, or we'll pay ten times the price back. No returns or exchanges."

It sounded like a shady merchant's advertisement, but Su relaxed her furrowed brow and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing an old friend here is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; at least it proves to Su that there are indeed other Flame-Chasers here.

Sue continued walking and arrived at Pardofelis's shop.

"Oh dear, this owner looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

Pardofelis politely raised her hand, seemingly unaware of Sue's presence.

"I just received a new batch of goods. You know how unsafe this area is, we need to have something for ourselves, right? Would you like to take a look?"

It is indeed Pardo.

Su kept her eyes closed, but she was absolutely certain of the identity of the person in front of her.

The two remained silent for a long time before Pardofelis suddenly realized that the other person's eyes hadn't opened yet.

"Uh, it's nothing. Just let me know if you need anything, boss."

It's so pitiful. I never expected that this customer was blind and would come to her business on a rainy day.

Pardofelis felt a sudden pang of sympathy for Su Sheng, but she still didn't change her plan to rip him off.
