Chapter 897

The Thirteen Heroes of the Flame fought side-by-side for the first time.

This could also be considered... filling the final regret in the hearts of the Heroes and Elysia.

……

In the game.

After hearing Hua's explanation, the Herrscher of Corruption's first reaction was disbelief.

Just because of a reason like this, they were willing to give up 【everything in their lives】?

However, she was rarely in the mood to argue right from wrong with Hua now.

Her only thought at this moment was to corrupt the last shred of Hua's data.

Although she could no longer become Elysia, she was still the strongest existence in the Elysian Realm.

The final victory would definitely be hers.

"Now, the 【path to the outside world】, the 【opportunity to stop Mei】, and the 【means to seize the program】... you have lost them all."

"And the changes Elysia brought to Mei, the traces left upon her... that is the key to how she can surpass you."

"Surpass me?" The Herrscher of Corruption let out a series of giggles: "That... is not necessarily true."

As she spoke, she activated her Authority of Corruption, and the green haze enveloped Hua's final "data."

She wanted to use this last opportunity to make Hua a part of herself.

However, facing her 【corruption】, Hua remained completely unmoved.

"It's too late..."

On her body, there appeared no signs of being corrupted.

Before the opponent's authority could take effect, all of her data... finally dissipated completely.

In this Elysian Realm constructed from their memories, of the thirteen who failed to become heroes, now... only the last one remained.

And the title 【Thirteen Heroes of the Flame】 was about to become 【history】.

And this was an ending that, from any perspective, symbolized 【failure】.

That warrior who served as a boundary marker and wrote the final period for herself with her own hands, the last message she left behind—

"As far as the past is concerned, we are indeed failures."

"But for the future..."

"Herrscher of Corruption, that confrontation that allowed us to become 【Pioneers】..."

"Is only just beginning now..."

……

The screen dimmed and returned to the Elysian Realm stage selection page.

The photos of the Thirteen Heroes appeared once more.

Hua, Su, Aponia...

"Click~"

Another soft sound...

Of the former Thirteen Heroes, only the last one remained now.

——Eden.

……Barrage in a frenzy……
