Chapter 868: Mei: Don

"The efficiency of the erosion has slowed down?"

"Kosma… you…"

Just as the erosion level was about to accumulate to one hundred percent, ending Kosma's pain.

The erosion progress bar suddenly dropped by a large chunk.

Such a change made the Herrscher of Corruption slightly stunned, but she guessed the general idea soon after.

"Simply entering 【Overweight Super-Transformation】 to amplify power is indeed meaningless in front of me…"

"But the instinct of 【Vishnu】 to devour… is also effective against 【Erosion】?"

"In other words, from just now, you have been… 【devouring yourself】?"

Just as Mei said before.

Kosma had been devouring himself to delay the 【Erosion】.

"No, that's not right, although doing this can indeed slow it down, it cannot truly stop me, it's just…"

It's just that under the obstruction of this characteristic, that process would become unimaginably long.

And in the eyes of the Herrscher of Corruption, the time that was originally more than enough, if delayed here, would likely not be nearly enough even if it were a hundred times more abundant.

This situation was something the Herrscher of Corruption could not accept at all.

So…

She seemed to have no choice but to delete Kosma.

"Elysia… if it were you, what would you do at this time?"

With just a turn of thought, the Herrscher of Corruption didn't continue to think like this.

There indeed existed some 【differences】 between her and Elysia, which was fundamentally impossible to make up for through data.

Whether this 【difference】 would lead to her being unable to receive the authority of 【Kevin's Armament】… she didn't know either.

But… she definitely couldn't stop her pursuit of Mei.

Thinking of this, the Herrscher of Corruption put on a heartbroken appearance.

"Kosma… please forgive me…"

"The people I love… have clearly already obtained eternal and beautiful life within my body."

"If I let you continue, it is equivalent to once again… pushing them into a desperate situation."

As she spoke, the Herrscher of Corruption's tone even seemed to carry a hint of sobbing.

No one knew whether this was heartfelt or deliberately faked.

"Is this… 717… the feeling of choosing the lesser of two evils? At least for now… I understand your feelings."

"If this is the path you have chosen…"

The Herrscher of Corruption sobbed.

She finally decided to use that ability which could easily solve everything, but which she had only used once—deletion.

At a time when the backup mechanism of the Elysian Realm had already been eroded and destroyed.

There was only one result of the Herrscher of Corruption doing this…

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…"

"I didn't want this originally."

"But for everyone's sake, I can only… completely 【delete】 you."

……

The players who were already on the verge of tears because of the plot…

When they saw this, their heads were buzzing.

They no longer cared whether the Herrscher of Corruption was truly sad or fake-sad.

What they cared about was…

They really had to personally… shoot Kosma to death!!

In the game.

The screen had frozen.

The Herrscher of Corruption and Kosma stood opposite each other.

The player was still playing from the perspective of the Herrscher of Corruption.

And a button that was flashing crazily suddenly appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen, accompanied by a text prompt—【Long Press】.

Kiana, who was feeling sad for Kosma's ending, was slightly stunned and subconsciously pressed toward that button.

Long press~

And then…

The Herrscher of Corruption slowly raised her bow and arrow…

Kiana: "……"

Audience: "……"

Mihuyou's girls: "……"

Too vicious… it's simply too vicious!

In the end, they actually (cgdf) pulled something like this…

Actually… requiring the player to personally charge, aim, and then attack…

Kiana, who was pressing the button, didn't dare to let go at all.

Because she knew that the moment she let go, this fatal blow would kill Kosma.

Although this is a game, Kiana's heart still couldn't bear personally killing a Hero.

"Woo… what should I do, Mei, I…"

She hurriedly turned her head to seek help from Mei beside her.

However, before she could even speak, the Herrscher of Corruption in the game had already made her move.

The sound of breaking air, accompanied by a pink arrow, completely pierced through Kosma's body.

The BGM stopped abruptly.

All that remained was a painful roar from Kosma.

"Roar~"

After struggling for a moment, Kosma turned into light spots and dissipated completely.

-Data deleted-

Silence.

Dead silence.

The barrage stopped scrolling, and all the players watching the live stream were staring blankly at the game screen.

In their minds, Kosma's appearance and his roar before death kept emerging.

This boy, who looked a bit autistic and a bit chuunibyou, and wanted to be a hero, had already become a hero without his knowledge.

……

"I… I promise you, after everything is over…"

The Herrscher of Corruption let out a few sobs, and then took a deep breath. ===== CHAPTER 870 =====
