Chapter 860

At this moment, the bullet comments were still incredibly enthusiastic.

And the screen in the game...

Don't know if it was an Easter egg.

Because Kiana hadn't moved for a long time, the screen remained on the Realm level selection page.

At this moment, a portrait of Fairy Ely suddenly popped up on the interface.

【The final stage is about to begin~】

【Visitor, please follow your heart and continue forward~】

It seemed that because Fairy Ely had cast "Fairy Magic," other function buttons had lost their effect.

Players could only choose the 【Main Story Chapter 31】 button to click.

This scene was like Fairy Ely suddenly popping out to comfort you.

Everyone watching the live stream, including Kiana, had an inexplicable emotion welling up in their hearts.

Fairy Ely is so cute.

Is she comforting and encouraging me?

After exhaling deeply, Kiana followed Fairy Ely's guidance and clicked back into the main story plot.

The screen unfolded again.

The plot connected not to the battle between Sakura and the Herrscher of Corruption.

But to a flashback scene.

It was the scene of "Evil" Miss Miss Weierwei talking to the Herrscher of Corruption.

The timeline was the conversation between the two after defeating Kevin.

Listening to it, the two seemed to be at odds at this time.

Mutual suspicion?

Nothing useful was revealed.

Until the flashback ended.

"Still the same as always..."

When the screen unfolded again, the perspective was given to Aponia.

It turned out that the flashback just now was Aponia using her ability to "peek" into the Herrscher of Corruption's memories.

As the most special individual in the Realm, Aponia was constantly providing information to the remaining Flame-Chasers through her own 【touch】.

Without any external help, yet being able to do this after being corrupted, whether in reality or in the Realm, only Aponia could do it.

"No matter how many human emotions she has acquired, her essence is still a kind of 【virus】, my ability..."

Speaking of this, Aponia also sighed:

"I fear it is difficult to be effective..."

Having "wasted" so much time and seen so many memories related to the Herrscher of Corruption, Aponia still hadn't found any useful clues.

She looked down at her hands, feeling deep self-blame in her heart.

"Kalpas... used his life as the price to allow me to touch the Herrscher of Corruption..."

"But I can only... merely probe her memories... unable to establish communication with her consciousness..."

Her initial goal was to intervene in the Herrscher of Corruption's 【mind】.

Since the Herrscher possessed a human-like mind, even if she was invincible as data...

Would it be possible to defeat the other party from the spiritual level?

Just like... the 【Eighth Herrscher】 of the past.

"As long as I can intervene in her mind..."

"But... how much time do I have left?"

Looking at her increasingly severe 【corruption】, Aponia sighed again.

Ever since she suffered 【corruption】, she had relied on the special nature of being in the Realm to split her energy in two.

One side resisting corruption.

The other side trying to establish a link with the Herrscher's consciousness, attempting to "reshape" the other party to resolve the crisis.

But now, she didn't have much time left.

"If I let the corruption deepen, I might be able to delve into the other party's consciousness."

"But if after that, I fail to find the opportunity to reshape the other party's mind... this is a meaningless sacrifice."

"However... continuing to stay here and browse the Herrscher's memories also has the possibility of gaining nothing."

At this moment, Aponia faced a dilemma.

"Is this... the feeling of facing a choice without knowing what the future will be like?"

Regarding this kind of scene that people were accustomed to, Aponia lacked relevant experience.

But at the same time, the emotion she felt more in her heart... was 【relief】.

Although she didn't know where the future she was about to create would lead.

She still faintly had a thought that 【doing this has its meaning】.

"Elysia... this is also your 【wish】, right?"

"Then, let it be."

Thinking of this, Aponia finally made up her mind.

She gave up resisting 【corruption】 and chose to face the consciousness of 【corruption】 directly.

Seeing this, the players sighed again.

They had just experienced Sakura's loneliness.

The next moment... it was Aponia's turn.

"Come, Herrscher of Corruption, 【please】... enter my embrace."

After a brief darkness.

Aponia seemed to have arrived in the Herrscher of Corruption's consciousness.

In this space, various Realm products 【corrupted】 by the Herrscher of Corruption were scattered everywhere.

Including...

"Kalpas?"

When she saw that tall figure.

The players couldn't help but have their hearts jump, and a sense of anticipation welled up.

"How could it be..."

"Could it be that after she seizes data, she confines the existences she deems valuable here?"

With inexplicable emotions, Aponia came before "Kalpas."

"Yo... you finally came, Aponia."

"Are you here to save me?"

Aponia: "..."

This Kalpas, whether in appearance or voice, was identical to the real one.

But...

The tone of his speech was completely different.

Aponia immediately confirmed that this Kalpas was not that Kalpas.

Determining that this was not Kalpas, the audience sighed.

Yes...

With Mihuyou's nature, how could it be so simple to resurrect the Flame-Chasers.

After a brief conversation with "Kalpas," Aponia's inner doubts grew heavier.

This was neither the real Kalpas nor a fake created by the Herrscher of Corruption.

And that tone of voice... no matter how she listened, it had a feeling of Elysia...

"Where exactly did things go wrong..."

Wandering around, Aponia met Miss Miss Weierwei again. ===== CHAPTER 862 =====
