In her view, the so-called "death" of these heroes was the most foolish decision.
What in the world is more important than life?
She knew she couldn't persuade Hua anymore.
Therefore, she became too lazy to persuade her anymore.
She wants to consume Hua, and then let Hua live on.
Until... Hua himself admitted how... incredibly foolish his companions were.
The two then resumed their battle.
Although the Herrscher of Corruption's power has significantly decreased, she still possesses the characteristic of being [invincible] in this paradise of the past.
"See, Hua? If you want to change everything, sacrifice doesn't seem to be of much use."
"It's better to survive—that way, there's a chance."
"Perhaps, thousands or tens of thousands of years later, I'll deliberately let you defeat me, to complete your 'revenge'~"
Hua remained unmoved by these "bewitching" attempts of the Lawbringer.
"If you just want me to admit you're 'right,' don't waste your breath."
"There was never a right or wrong between us, but from the very beginning, there was no possibility of persuading the other."
"Aside from both being 'weak,' we're on completely different paths."
"A weakling?" The Herrscher of Corruption chuckled softly. "Hua, you can't talk about yourself like that~"
"You've already done a remarkable job to persevere this long."
Hua: "...That's precisely why we can't persuade them."
"You can't understand this feeling. As a fellow victim, your choice is to become stronger."
"Humanity's choice... is to join hands with other weaker individuals; sacrifice is merely one means among many, nothing special."
Herrscher of Corruption: "So, Hua, you want to compare with me... which of these two ways of life is the right one?"
Hua: "There's no need for comparison; these two are fundamentally different."
"You say the choice is called 'survival,' while humans say the choice is..."
"...named [Civilization]"
"Since this will be their choice, then... so will mine."
As soon as he finished speaking, crimson feathers suddenly appeared around Hua.
"Yu Duchen, please help me one last time..."
"First rated power... Let me break free from constraints once again!"
Herrscher of Erosion: "!!! Hua?"
The Herald of Corruption was not given a chance to react.
Hua directly activated the first rated power of Yu Du Chen, sacrificing his own memories to unleash his strongest killing move—the Tai Xu Divine Sword!
However, Hua now exists in the form of data.
Therefore, "Burning Memories" has become "Burning Data"...
Just like Kevin and Sue.
They used all their data in order to launch their strongest attack.
And the same is true for China.
why?
Knowing full well that they couldn't kill the Herrscher of Corruption, why did they still burn themselves to ashes?
Those who understand the law of erosion do not comprehend it.
The players didn't understand either.
Such a sacrifice... was it really just for the sake of making a knife?
……
Amidst the Herrscher of Corruption's shocked and bewildered gaze, a crimson divine sword, capable of blotting out the sky, appeared in the heavens.
This scene shocked countless people.
Those subject to the law of erosion have nowhere to hide.
This is a devastating blow that wipes out everything, and even oneself cannot escape its effects.
"..."
"You...you've wanted to do this for a long time?"
When the scene unfolded again, the Herrscher of Corruption clutched her chest in a rather disheveled manner, staring coldly ahead.
Hua: "I was just inspired by Kosmo and Gretchen."
The players breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Hua was "safe and sound".
But... Hua's next words plunged them into despair...
"Yu Duchen's initial rated power can only be used at the cost of burning his own memories."
"But in the space of memory, that would be tantamount to burning oneself out entirely."
Herrscher of Corruption: "But you should also know that I... cannot be destroyed."
"The obstacle you made, the obstacle you gave your all to ultimately eliminate, is only yourselves!"
Hua nodded slightly: "Indeed..."
"But... Herrscher of Corruption, haven't you realized it yet..."
"Now, you can no longer maintain the form of [Alicia]."
In a flash, the Herrscher of Corruption transformed from the [Faded Fairy] into a robot-like figure.
Herrscher of Erosion: "?!"
"What have you all done?!"
Hua: "The Law of Corruption, this... is our true purpose."
"As you said, eliminate the only obstacle to victory—ourselves."
"In order to gain control of [666], you made yourself [become] Alicia."
"But without corrupting Alicia, there's only one way to do this—"
"By continuously acquiring the memories of other heroes and understanding their knowledge of Alicia, we can [weave]..."
Herrscher of Corruption: "...!!"
"So...you knew all along?"
"So... Gretchen and Kosmo chose to erase themselves to prevent me from corrupting them... not because they were worried that my power would increase as a result, but because..."
Hua: "Yes, we absolutely cannot let you get any closer to Alicia."
"And now, when even the corrupted heroes have somehow destroyed their own data, you... might even regress."
……
At this point, the players finally understood completely.
·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ·····
can only say……
Shocked.
As expected... miHoYo's storylines never disappoint.
The sacrifices of these heroes were not in vain.
Their sacrifices were not simply for the purpose of "slaying," but rather for reasons that were perfectly reasonable.
The comments section erupted into a heated discussion.
Of course, it's not just that on the surface.
Kevin and Velvet both knew that Kevin, who was outside, would definitely handle the Herrscher of Corruption.
So, as I said before, dealing with the Herrscher of Corruption was just a side effect...
Their primary goal was to welcome back the girl who was as radiant and flawless as moonlight—Alicia.
This is the deeper thought of the heroes, which is not shown in the plot.
Perhaps... after players have seen Alicia's life story and truly understood the friendship of these heroes, they will realize the deeper meaning behind it.
Alicia gave her all, loving everyone, and the heroes reciprocated with their own...
However, in the final short film, after Alicia returns and sends Mei away...
Instead of immediately launching [666] to destroy Paradise, she used her memories to gather the heroes together once more...
