Chapter 840: Mei is simply A-bursting!

~6 min read 1,096 words

As the Herrscher of Corruption's voice fell, the surrounding scenery also dimmed.

When Mei reacted, she found that she and the Herrscher of Corruption were already sitting on the Ferris wheel.

Mei: "..."

She was very surprised inside.

This Herrscher... her control over the Elysian Realm had actually reached this point!

"Wow... so this is what the scenery looks like when looking down from the Ferris wheel~" The Herrscher of Corruption appeared very happy.

It looked like she was really on a date with Mei, without any defense against her.

"Although there are similar images in my memory, only after experiencing it personally did I realize that this is a completely different feeling!"

After saying these things, she looked at Mei again.

"Alright~ Mei, don't put on such a serious expression~"

"Isn't having a romantic Ferris wheel date with me a very pleasant thing?"

Suddenly, the Herrscher of Corruption made a look of sudden realization: "Oh my~"

"Could it be that you are surprised that I can conjure a Ferris wheel out of thin air? Don't mind it, this is just a little girl's thought."

"To add a little adjustment to our journey~~"

Mei sneered: "Adjustment?"

"Isn't it deterrence?"

"From just now, you seem to have been intentionally or unintentionally emphasizing your control over the Elysian Realm."

Hearing Mei say this, the Herrscher of Corruption sighed: "Mei..."

"Always being placed in the position of a villain, even I will be sad~"

"I thought that at least you could understand my position and thoughts, at least we could become friends, after all... we are the same kind~"

"Same kind?" Mei sneered, her heart completely unmoved by the Herrscher of Corruption's goodwill: "I'm afraid you forgot..."

"The girl you are currently playing is also your 【same kind】."

Speaking of this, Mei also couldn't suppress the sadness and anger in her heart.

"... Why!?"

"Why delete Elysia's memory body? Miss Miss Weierwei told me that among everyone, only Miss Miss Weierwei's data was completely deleted by you... without the possibility of recovery..."

"What exactly is on Elysia... that makes you so wary?"

"Fine, fine~" The Herrscher of Corruption made a helpless look: "Since Miss Miss Weierwei has already told you this, then I have no need to continue hiding it."

"I did delete Elysia's data, as for why it was her..."

"Actually, there is no special reason, it was just an 【accident】."

"At that time, my journey as a Herrscher... or rather, as 【life】 had just begun~"

"Like a naive child, I only had ignorant and mechanical cognition of the world... 【Wanting to live】 was my only emotion and instinct."

"In such a state... I met her."

Seeing this, the players all frowned.

The words the Herrscher of Corruption said...

Seemed to be the truth!

Because in the previous chapter, there was a plot shown from the perspective of the Herrscher of Corruption.

At that time, she was indeed like a newborn child, not even having learned the concepts of 【companion】 and 【enemy】.

Until... she followed Mei and met Elysia, and learned 【happiness】 from her.

Saw the battle between Kalpas and Mei, and learned 【death】.

Could it be... that she killed Elysia, really just an accident?

Many players felt complicated inside.

Up to now, the players' feelings toward the Herrscher of Corruption were basically 【disgust】.

And these words of the Herrscher of Corruption... sounded logical and irrefutable.

She even showed Mei the situation she was in at the time.

To give an example—

A group of terrifying Honkai beasts that had never been seen before suddenly appeared in front of Mei.

And facing such a situation, Mei would instinctively attack them and eliminate the Honkai beasts.

Even if those Honkai beasts didn't show a desire to attack Mei.

"Mei~ you should understand now, right~"

"On one side is the fear of facing a foreign object, on the other side is the desire for self-protection... for a weak and young me, the temptation of survival was too sweet~"

"At that time, I was so helpless, and now... I am so regretful~"

After finishing the Herrscher of Corruption's defense of herself.

Many players fell into deep thought...

It seemed what she said made a lot of sense—【Doing whatever it takes to survive】.

When humans fight against the Honkai, aren't they also 【doing whatever it takes to survive?】.

How can I refute this Herrscher's words??

Damn... this annoying villain, how can she be so glib.

Can only say, Mihuyou's shaping of villains is a bit powerful.

Compared to the players, Mei's mind in the game was much clearer.

"If you claim that your attack on Elysia was just out of instinct, then what about afterward?"

"Your invasion didn't stop, after obtaining knowledge and the power to subvert the Elysian Realm, do you intend to gloss over the tragedies you created with the two words 【instinct】?"

And regarding Mei's questioning again, the Herrscher of Corruption also had a set of reasons to defend herself—

At that time, she never expected that after deleting Elysia, such a big storm would be stirred up in the Elysian Realm.

Overnight, she became the target of public criticism.

At that time, she was full of regret, loneliness, and fear.

And just at this time, "Evil" Miss Miss Weierwei found her.

Finally, the two became friends because of the same will—the will to survive.

In the Herrscher of Corruption's self-proving words, Mei also learned a piece of bad news—

Kalpas... had actually already been corrupted.

After listening to the Corruption's defense, Mei's heart still didn't waver at all.

"To harm for the sake of survival... I don't intend to comment on this, it's just, you should understand..."

"Every action has a price!"

"Don't be in a hurry to define it, Mei~" The Herrscher of Corruption sighed:

"From the human perspective, the end of life is death, but memory bodies are different, they are the embodiment of data, another form of existence distinct from life."

"Precisely because of this, I, and only I, can let them... 【be resurrected from the dead】."

The moment her voice fell, Mei found that the surrounding scenery had changed.

And standing in front of her was...

"Miss Miss Weierwei..."

Miss Miss Weierwei (?): "What's wrong Mei? Looking gloomy doesn't look like you at all."

"Phew~" After the initial palpitation, Mei quickly calmed down.

She knew clearly that the person in front of her was not Miss Miss Weierwei, but... an imposter turned into by the Herrscher of Corruption.

Although her voice, actions, and appearance were the same as Miss Miss Weierwei's. ===== CHAPTER 842 =====
