Chapter 265
Neither "I" nor the plural "we" seems quite appropriate.
Fu Hua: "Vill-V, we've been following your plan the whole time, so why did things turn into a losing battle?"
Kevin, Mobius, Vill-V have all left the scene, and now they have lost the most likely unit among the Flame-Chasers to confront the Herrscher of Corruption.
No matter how you look at it, it's not a favorable situation.
Vill-V: "Don't be fooled by appearances. Although it seems we have very little fighting force left, as long as we achieve the final step, it will signify success."
They pinned all their hopes on the Anti-Kevin Armament Model 666 and on bringing Elysia back.
The deaths of these Flame-Chasers were all voluntary sacrifices made to achieve this goal.
This is also what Vill-V believes is the best outcome for everyone.
Mobius: "Heh, losing Kevin and me, and with the Flame-Chasers almost completely wiped out, you still want to gamble everything. Truly a [genius] plan, Vill-V."
Mobius emphasized the word "genius" heavily, and as a scientist who relied on data, she did not believe that Vill-V's plan was the best option.
Regardless of the price they paid, completing this plan alone required every single step to be done flawlessly.
Every plan carries risk.
The more interconnected the links, the more likely it is that all hopes are concentrated on a single point and all-or-nothing is placed, the easier it is to collapse unexpectedly.
Fortunately, the plan was designed by the genius Vill-V, and so far all progress has been completed as she expected, without any obvious problems.
Otherwise, if any link in the chain goes wrong, the whole thing will collapse.
Even the genius of the Twilight Era, Vill-V, could not guarantee that everything would go as expected, nor could she do such a thing.
Even Apponia, who once had the ability to glimpse fate, could not capture every detail of destiny.
Vill-V: "I admit this plan is a bit risky, but I'm a genius, aren't I? Little Pardo's bravery was all within my calculations, wasn't it?"
She even knew that Pardofelis possessed the Thousand Worlds and calculated that the wormhole required Pardo's continuous maintenance to open.
How long Cosmo, Griseo, and Huaneng could hold off the Herrscher of Corruption was also within Vill-V's calculations.
Mobius: "You're so powerful, can you even predict what the Herrscher of Corruption will do after she goes into a rage?"
Seeing Vill-V's arrogant demeanor, Mobius decisively threw the question and answer back to Vill-V.
Vill-V: "This... there wasn't enough time. You know, figuring out what an enraged person might do isn't an easy task."
Chapter 430 Punishing Hua by Cleaning Up the Death Space
Trickster only plan based on the development of facts; they're not fortune tellers, so how could they possibly know everything?
Vill-V said that Mobius was really putting her in a difficult position by throwing this question at her.
Fu Hua: "I don't think it's hard to guess. A Herrscher in a state of rage won't do many things."
It's nothing more than tearing her to pieces, or, if you can't stand it anymore, using your authority to delete her data.
The Herrscher of Corruption did this to Cosmo in order to save time, so it's not surprising that she would take such measures again after becoming enraged.
Although weaving beautiful dreams and eroding Hua's data is the most beneficial thing for the Herrscher of Corruption, Fu Hua, in her rage, finds it hard to believe that the Herrscher of Corruption has such patience.
Didn't she destroy the only trace of Griseo and Cosmo in her rage before?
Fu Hua: "Choose A."
The more Fu Hua thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense, and she quickly made a choice.
[Incorrect answer.]
The correct answer is D.
Fu Hua: "Option D, let me see... Hmm?!!"
Fu Hua was already confused by answering the wrong question, but she was even more confused when she confirmed that the correct option was correct. She almost thought she was under an illusion.
After the Herrscher of Corruption went into a rage, she actually wanted to grant her immortality. What kind of bizarre thought process is that?
Furthermore, it's simply impossible for Hua to deny Flame-Chasers's sacrifice, deny the meaningless mission, and admit that choosing to live was the right thing to do.
Theresa: "I can't understand it either. Even if it's about corrupting Fu Hua and plundering her data, that would be perfectly reasonable. Why insist on making her immortal?"
For the Herrscher of Corruption, survival is the most important thing in her beliefs, and it is undoubtedly the greatest gift and reward.
Is your treatment of Fu Hua not simply because you spoil her too much and have developed a bias towards her?
Himeko Murata: "Uh, I have to say, she's really only a few years old; her thought process is just unbelievable."
Teacher Himeko couldn't help but facepalm.
Keeping up with the ideas of Kiana and the other young girls was already a headache for her, but the Herrscher of Corruption's bizarre actions were truly beyond her comprehension.
[Fu Hua receives a penalty: She must clean up the Death Space for one day.]
[Synopsis: Due to the actions of two scientists, the Death Space is in a complete mess. Cang Xuan and Danzhu, who are responsible for cleaning, are slacking off. Therefore, this task is being issued.]
Fu Hua: "?!!"
This was the second time Fu Hua had felt bewildered today. When her figure disappeared from the St. Freya Academy and arrived in the Death Space, seeing her former friends, she had only one thought in her mind.
Is there really such a good thing?!
Danzhu: "Chi Yuan, you're finally here! I've missed you so much! What will we do without you for cleaning... cough cough, I mean, I missed you so much!"
Cang Xuan: "Danzhu, you've already spoken your mind."
Cang Xuan rolled his eyes at Danzhu, somewhat annoyed, but he agreed with her statement.
Mobius and Vill-V really went too far. After their fight, Death Space was almost reduced to ruins, and there was an unknown mutated virus in the center of the battlefield, making the cleanup a huge undertaking.
They all planned to summon Chakravartin and burn all these things to the ground.
However, because the battlefield wreckage contained valuable materials and experimental samples, the experiment was never carried out.
Fu Hua's arrival has truly been a great help.
Elysia: "It's been so long since I've seen Hua, aren't you going to say hello?"
Elysia walked up to Fu Hua and stared intently at the beauty before her. She did indeed resemble Fu Hua in seven parts, but there were some differences in her demeanor and movements.
Fu Hua was also observing them.
Cosmo and Little Griseo were under the Candy Tree, Sue had her eyes closed and seemed lost in thought, Eden was drinking, Mobius cast a curious glance at her, Pardofelis was rummaging through the shop, seemingly looking for something to rip off her, the sucker...
A myriad of emotions brewed within, but when it came to the tip of his tongue, only one sentence remained.
Fu Hua: "It's so good to see you all again."
Elysia: "We want to see you too, Hua."
Elysia stretched out her hands in a hugging gesture and slowly approached, only a step away from Fu Hua.
Fu Hua: "Elysia..."
Looking at the people in front of her, her former colleagues, Fu Hua felt a mix of emotions, and her outstretched arms froze in mid-air.
Fifty Thousand Years have passed in a flash. The Flame-Chasers are still the Flame-Chasers, but she is no longer the same Hua.
She was no longer the Immortal Crimson Bird of Shenzhou, nor the executor of the Kindling Project. All that remained of the past was the word "[Vicissitude]" that continued within her.
The scene before her, composed of Flame-Chasers, was so beautiful that Fu Hua didn't take another step forward. Instead, she stood still, quietly appreciating the atmosphere that belonged to the Flame-Chasers.
Ultimately, there was a whole era between them.
Fifty Thousand Years is a distance so vast that those who step into the future and choose the future can never turn back.
Fu Hua suppressed her feelings, slowly reached out, and hugged Elysia tightly.
Although there was no distance between them, both could feel that the Fifty Thousand Years gap between them was now as close as the ends of the earth in the gap of their embrace.
Pardofelis: "Hua, come and see the goods I've carefully prepared for you. It's the same kind of megaphone as Sister Elysia's!"
Elysia: "What, Pardofelis, I'm not unique?"
Pardofelis: "Sister Elysia is certainly unique, but so is Hua."
Pardo smiled, and at the same time made up her mind that she would charge a high price for the words "one of a kind" on the bottle.
Fu Hua: "Time is precious, I'd better help with the cleaning first."
Turning her head, Fu Hua saw the battlefield left behind by Vill-V and Mobius, a scene of utter chaos with tiny embers still flickering.
Fu Hua knew the two of them must have had a wild time back then, but she never expected it to escalate to this point.
Even selling the entire St. Freya Academy package wouldn't be enough to cover the losses.
Elysia: "Hua, how can we let you handle this? You're a guest. Let us take care of this ourselves."
Fu Hua: "No, since this is my punishment, I should handle it myself."
The task wasn't too strenuous, and with her immortal body, Fu Hua was much more efficient than Cang Xuan Danzhu, giving her ample time to clean it up within 24 hours.
Sakura: "Then let's help each other out."
Were we colleagues before? And this is Fu Hua's first time here, yet she has already failed to be a good host, and it was just some trivial business.
Most of the Flame-Chasers in Death Space are actually quite bored... and idle.
Chapter 431 I Will Make You Immortal
Fu Hua: "No need. Since it's a mission for me alone, I'll complete it by myself. Don't worry, it'll be over soon."
Elysia: "Hua, you're taking this too seriously."
She's definitely got the reputation of being an honest person. Since Hua Du says so, the other Flame-Chasers won't bother her anymore.
It was just clearing away battlefield debris; for Fusion Warrior, this level of intensity was nothing.
Danzhu and Cang Xuan, on the other hand, cheered them on enthusiastically from the sidelines, not wanting to miss out on any trouble.
Danzhu: "Go for it, Immortal! Go for it, Immortal!"
Cang Xuan: "At this rate, we expect to complete the punishment mission before dinner."
The two had completely forgotten that this was the task Mobius had given them.
Kiana: "Is this really a punishment? I get the feeling the class monitor is enjoying it."
Kiana was very unhappy, especially when she learned that Elysia and Fu Hua were hugging; her nerves were pounding.
Himeko Murata: "Punishment is definitely necessary. If Kiana doesn't believe me, Kiana can clean the entire St. Freya Academy."
Kiana: "I was wrong, Teacher Himeko!"
Kiana, who had just been complaining, immediately clasped her hands together in a gesture of begging for forgiveness.
Cleaning the entire college is out of the question; let's find someone else. She doesn't have the class monitor's perseverance.
[In the scene, the wormhole opened by Pardofelis has been detected by Kevin and Sue. Through the power of the Thousand Worlds, their attacks can be transmitted to the outside world.]
"Let's set off; this will be the final move."
Sue and Kevin stepped forward, gradually approaching the wormhole leading to the outside world.
Su walked beside Kevin and slowly asked, "After unleashing this attack, you yourself will cease to exist. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"At least this time, you won't leave before me."
"Then you'll be disappointed; it will still be sooner rather than later."
Kevin is ultimately different from other Flame-Chasers.
He was so powerful that one could feel the intense heat in his pupils with just a glance at the holy flame he held aloft.
Even Su was shocked when he wielded his weapon; it was an insurmountable gap in power. Even Enlightened One could only serve as a foil to him.
"Regardless of humanity's future, regardless of the ideals of the masses, this time, I'm putting my life in the chamber of a gun, solely to save one person."
Kevin faced the wormhole created by the Thousand Worlds, the Fehu in his hand gleaming with scorching flames.
In a world of ruins, it is no bigger than a firefly, but its intense heat is enough to light up the night and burn the dark sky.
"This is a one-time chance, Kevin. Let me be your sword!"
Su opened his eyes, his eroded body completely disintegrating. The data of the Enlightened One was completely integrated into the Fehu, making up for Kevin's weakness.
Kevin raised his blazing holy sword high, burning the Heavenly Flame of Somam, completely enveloping the night sky.
