Chapter 267
Hua slowly closed his eyes, his right hand instantly clenching into a fist, Fenghuang Down's feathers dissipated into light at that moment.
Power flowed into her body, and as Divine Key that altered consciousness, Fenghuang Down, like the Spiritual Sensing Fusion Warrior, possessed a unique quality in this world.
The moment the Eighth Divine Key disappeared, Hua felt an unprecedented power and an unprecedented sense of mental ease.
Fenghuang Down is burning—burning consciousness, burning data, burning the past.
"Fenghuang Down, let me break free from these constraints once more!"
Once everything had burned out, Hua unleashed all her power, transforming it into a full-force attack. A Sword God descended from the sky, suppressing the Herrscher of Herrscher of Corruption's actions and striking her body with a single blow.
The single strike that shattered space was all that Hua had to offer.
As the last piece of the puzzle for the Flame-Chasers to delay the Herrscher of Corruption, the weight she carried was enough to break the scales.
Kiana: "Class President, you're so cool!"
The moment the Sword God struck the Herrscher of Corruption, Kiana couldn't help but raise her arms and shout.
That Sword God was truly astonishing.
Although it was less powerful than Kevin's strike, compared to the overwhelming power of the Fehu, the Sword God's descent from the sky, with its overwhelming momentum, was more magnificent.
Vill-V: "After burning the Fenghuang Down, Hua's attack, which spared no expense, actually boosted his power to this level? Even I was surprised."
Vill-V knew Hua's physical data all too well, and her knowledge of Fusion Warrior was only slightly less than Mobius's.
Unexpectedly, in this Previous Era Elysian Realm, burning all the data with Fenghuang Down could actually transform all of Hua's power into this one attack, forcibly elevating the level of the Memory Body.
Danzhu: "The Chi Yuan is strong, but immortals are invincible!"
Cang Xuan: "Immortals are the most reliable."
Cang Xuan and Danzhu were the proudest at this moment. The Immortal Crimson Bird was so helpful, and they were proud of themselves, having spent a long time accompanying Fu Hua on Mount Tai Xu.
Fu Hua: "Ahem, no need to make a fuss. After all, we were able to launch this attack only with the help of the power of the Fenghuang Down and the advantageous location of the Previous Era Elysian Realm."
Feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, Fu Hua quickly turned her face away, but couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm.
Griseo frowned. Fu Hua's movements were too exaggerated, making it impossible for her to concentrate on her drawing.
Although what she is painting now is not a personal portrait of Fu Hua.
Fu Hua: "Ahem, sorry, I'll readjust."
Fu Hua sat behind the canvas, unaware of what Griseo was painting. Thinking her reaction had caused Griseo trouble, she quickly returned to her original posture.
Kiana: "Even so, I still have to say, the class president is so cool! When will I be able to deliver a sword strike like that?"
Kiana stretched her arms and pouted, slightly dissatisfied.
She's actually very strong now. Gluttony brings cellular-level amplification, and with the Kaslana bloodline, Kiana is like a human-shaped Honkai Beast.
However, compared to the unique attack methods of the Flame-Chasers, their physical attributes seem rather ordinary.
Kiana also wants to unleash the Sword God with her eyes closed, and she also wants to charge up a powerful attack with the Fehu!!!
'Or how about we go find that stinky old man and snatch the Fehu? No need to snatch it, if I want the Fehu, that stinky old man will definitely give it to me.'
Kiana had this thought.
It's such a waste that the Fehu is left in my stinky dad's hands. He's using a weapon that can unleash the ultimate power of humanity to bake pizzas.
Especially after witnessing Kevin's attack that pierced the world from within the Herrscher of Corruption, Kiana felt her heart bleed when she thought about how her father actually used such a weapon to bake pizza.
The Herrscher of Reason: "Smash the Sword God? Anyone can do that!"
Fu Hua: "Little Senti, you're getting cocky."
The Herrscher of Reason: "I'm getting cocky? She's just a mere Herrscher of Corruption, and all she does is wreak havoc in the Previous Era Elysian Realm. You try exchanging blows with her? I could knock her head off!"
Little Senti clenched her fist, relying on her Immortal Body and Herrscher Authority, she declared herself invincible in her prime.
In other words, she didn't have the chance; otherwise, she would definitely have gone to the Previous Era Elysian Realm to have a go at the hands of Flame-Chasers!
Su: "Hua's attack has probably exceeded Vill-V's expectations; the time gained is enough to accomplish everything."
Vill-V: "Yes, life is always full of surprises and unexpected events. No matter how talented you are, you can't control everything."
The main reason is that the performances of each and every one of the Flame-Chasers were too outstanding.
The Herrscher of Corruption had already been delayed by Cosmo and the others for too long, and the attacks from Kevin and Fu Hua almost completely halted her pursuit.
Sue: "As long as we can buy some time, it will be too late even if the Herrscher of Corruption attacks again once everything is finished."
Raiden Mei: "Wait, are you saying that the Herrscher of Corruption can recover all her power after taking those two hits?"
Incredible.
Everyone witnessed the destruction caused by Kevin's all-out attack, which almost completely pierced through the interior of the Herrscher of Corruption. Then, Hua Burning Fenghuang Down collided with it.
How can Herrscher of Corruption remain unscathed?
Su: "Some degree of damage is inevitable, but in terms of strength, there might not be much change."
The Herrscher of Corruption swaggered Previous Era Elysian Realm, relying on its unique nature and the power it gained after corrupting the data of the Flame-Chasers.
For viruses, data corruption is not a fatal problem.
Whether their attacks can effectively damage the Herrscher of Corruption is still uncertain.
[In the scene, Hua suddenly unleashes the Sword God, its power surging like a torrent, the massive energy directly approaching the face of the Herrscher of Corruption.]
The attack came too suddenly, Herrscher of Corruption had no time to dodge. The power of the Sword God suppressed it in place, leaving it with no choice but to rely on its own body to collide head-on with all of Hua's data.
A flash of white light followed the attack, and the space where the two were standing vanished into thin air—skyscrapers, bridges, vegetation—everything was instantly obliterated.
Chapter 434 The True Face of the Herrscher of Corruption, The End of Vicissitude
In the vast white space, only the Herrscher of Corruption and Hua remained. They looked at each other, both feeling unwell from the earlier collision.
Hua is on the verge of dissipation, and the Herrscher of Corruption, already pierced through by Kevin's all-out attack, is losing data at a visible rate. Now, with Hua's desperate attack, it will be difficult for it to maintain its original state.
"You've wanted to do this for a long time?"
The Herrscher of Corruption raised his head and looked at Hua.
The attack was so swift and decisive that she couldn't help but wonder if Hua had been prepared for it all along, and if he had been stalling for time just to unleash this attack.
"It was simply inspired by Cosmo and Griseo."
Hua sighed and spoke slowly.
She looked at her arm; her fist, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, was now trembling slightly. The full-force impact had put pressure on the Herrscher of Corruption, but it had also exceeded her expectations.
However, the pressure Hua faces after employing this tactic should not be underestimated.
The burning of everything colliding with the Herrscher of Corruption was simply too insane for Memory Body that was merely data.
However, it seems the outcome was positive.
Hua explained, "The First Nominal Power of Fenghuang Down requires burning memories as a price to use. But in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, that's equivalent to burning one's entire being."
In the Previous Era Elysian Realm, data, memory, and life are almost equivalent.
Life is made up of memories and carried by data; burning one's own memories is equivalent to burning the data.
Flame-Chasers's Memory Body can be restored intact after being damaged, and the loss in the process is negligible. However, losing data means complete disappearance.
This is precisely why the Herrscher of Corruption is so powerful in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.
Viruses can erode data, plunder its autonomy, and even delete it irrationally.
The Eighth Divine Key, capable of burning memories, is similarly powerful, but compared to a purer virus, it is still an inanimate object.
Hua burned all of his data to unleash this attack, but he still failed to Herrscher of Corruption.
She herself, however, was already at her last gasp.
Seeing Hua's swaying figure, almost fading away, the Herrscher of Corruption couldn't help but sneer, "But what's the point? You know, don't you? I can't be destroyed."
"You made a decision that meant certain death, and you gave it your all, but in the end, all you're eliminating is yourself."
Look, Hua's figure is almost disappearing, while she only has some superficial injuries.
That seemingly devastating attack didn't even manage to defeat [Elysia], let alone eliminate the invading virus.
"Indeed."
Hua nodded. "But you should have noticed the Herrscher of Corruption by now, shouldn't you?"
"You can no longer maintain Elysia's appearance."
As Hua finished speaking, the Herrscher of Corruption's disguise as Elysia completely collapsed, revealing its true form.
A rudimentary virus.
"?!!"
Elysia's body disintegrated so quickly that the Herrscher of Corruption was only now realizing what was happening.
Having withstood a blow from Kevin and then being finished off by Hua Quan, she gritted her teeth and endured the internal trauma, trying to recover the lost data.
However, they consistently overlooked the physical appearance she had meticulously maintained.
"What have you all done?!"
"The Herrscher of Corruption roared."
She had finally managed to replenish Elysia's data and obtain that body with great difficulty, but now it was all gone.
Time and again, she miscalculated; despite possessing overwhelming power, she faced defeat after defeat. How could she not be furious?
"As you said, it's simply to eliminate the possibility of ourselves being an obstacle."
"In order to seize control of Anti-Kevin Armament Model 666, you transformed yourself into Elysia."
"Without corrupting Elysia's data, the only way to do this is by corrupting the data of other Flame-Chasers."
They eroded the data of the Flame-Chasers, and then used their data to reconstruct Elysia as a whole, weaving it piece by piece.
To achieve this goal, the Herrscher of Corruption needs to continuously corrupt the data of the Flame-Chasers, rather than simply deleting them.
"You knew from the beginning?"
The Herrscher of Corruption was shocked, but then suddenly realized that many things became clear at that moment.
"Griseo and Cosmo chose to erase themselves not because they were worried about my traffic increasing?"
"Yes, we can't let you get any closer to Elysia. And now, when the corrupted Flame-Chasers also burns his own data to ashes, you might even regress."
Kevin, Sue, and even Pardofelis, they were all corrupted Flame-Chasers who became the power of the Herrscher of Corruption.
Kevin's strike completely destroyed the buff they had given to the Herrscher of Corruption, as the flames burned away the buff.
Even [Elysia], woven by the Herrscher of Corruption, will cease to exist.
"I don't understand, would you be willing to give up your entire lives just for this reason?"
Unreasonable, incomprehensible!
Is it really worth making such a sacrifice just for that reason, for that tiny bit of chance of winning, to make her take a step back?
The Herrscher of Corruption doesn't understand that life is precious, and she cannot acknowledge the sacrifices of the Flame-Chasers.
"If I cannot become her, if even I cannot revive Elysia, then what makes the Herrscher of Thunder capable of doing so?"
"The Herrscher of Corruption asked."
She possesses the data of several Flame-Chasers, and their feelings for Elysia. How can the Herrscher of Thunder's heart bear a more authentic Elysia than the data within her?
As long as no one can successfully resurrect Elysia, she will still be the victor.
"I wasn't the one who devised the plan, so I'm not sure, but I'm willing to trust her."
Hua nodded and said that.
"Haha... Don't be so naive."
The Herrscher of Corruption laughed loudly, then suddenly took a step forward, and the dissipating data began to gather towards her body.
With the remaining data, she could still vaguely conjure up the appearance of Elysia.
"If I could do it the first time, I can do it the second time! And I won't allow you to die. I'll let you live to witness my victory, and then admit that there really was right and wrong between us!"
"Too late, Herrscher of Corruption."
