Watch Honkai Impact 3rd, and let fan creations save the world!

[March 7]: "Since it is known that the Law of Corruption is hidden in the Paradise, this is very likely an act of corruption."

[Theresa]: "But... if it's erosion, what's the point of sealing off the island?"

[Raiden Mei]: "Is there any secret of the Thirteenth Herrscher that 'I' cannot know?"

[Vilvie]: "Or rather, what Erosion is actually targeting is Alicia herself, Kevin Armed 666, the device in Paradise that can perish together with Erosion."

[Padofilis]: "Oh no, this means Alice is in danger!"

[Padofilis]: "That's not right, Ellie isn't the kind of person who likes to break promises."

[March 7th]: "Something not so good has happened at the Paradise Archives."

[The Herald of Consciousness]: "Damn Herald of Corruption!!"

[Su]: "I'm afraid... Ellie may have met with some misfortune."

[Star]: "You *** Herrscher of Corruption, you deserve to die!!"

[Blue Sparrow]: "No...it can't be that bad, can it?"

[Silver Wolf]: "Given the current situation, what other possibility is there? I think the video will confirm it soon."

........................

Hehehehehehe

I can't wait any longer!!

Chapter 241 Is Alicia dead?

Mei approached Yingjie with these thoughts in mind, but the Yingjie members did not look well. Kevin coldly said, "...That's impossible."

"I also thought it was impossible, so... I checked it repeatedly."

Su said this, but her expression wasn't very pleasant.

Aponia suggested another possibility: "Perhaps... there are blind spots in our vision."

"...Is it really that hard to understand?"

"Do you really think she's hiding somewhere right now, watching our expressions while laughing so hard she's doubled over?"

"She's never driven one of these before."

Mebius shattered their illusions; he knew Ellie very well.

Just then, Mei walked over and joined the heroes' conversation: "Um..."

"excuse me."

Has any of you seen Alicia?

The speaker may not mean anything by it, but each listener may have their own interpretation.

Everyone present fell silent instantly; it all happened in a flash… as if an invisible wall had separated Mei from the four people. On the other side of that wall, silence began to creep in stealthily.

Until that man who never uttered a word broke it.

"...What do you want with her?"

"No. She made an appointment to meet me, but she hasn't shown up, so I'm looking for her."

Kevin fell silent again.

Knowing Kevin's current personality, Mei said directly, "...If you don't know, you can just tell me."

Sue answered on Kevin's behalf, "I'm sorry, visitor. Alicia... seems to be in some trouble."

"She's temporarily..."

After a brief pause, Mei received three words: "".

"...Disappeared?"

Seeing the various expressions on Ying Jie's face, Mei felt a bad premonition, but still managed to ask with a glimmer of hope, "...What does that mean? Is she hiding, or..."

"Oh...it seems this little lab rat is still in the dark."

"Su's words are always hard to understand, let me translate for you—"

Möbius said coldly, "The woman you're looking for..."

"She's dead."

Just then, the crystal cards of the thirteen heroes appeared on the light screen covering the entire universe, the one depicting Alicia, and then—

The sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the world, and Alicia's crystal card file crumbled bit by bit.

[Silver Wolf]: "Erosion, you deserve to die!"

[Padofilis]: "Waaaaah, Sister Aili..."

[Möbius]: "Very well, so you're the Herrscher of Corruption, huh? You're quite something..."

[Star]: "What the hell is this damn file?! Alicia is shattered?"

【】: "Sorry, sorry. To allow you to experience the authentic Paradise storyline, I specially added this feature. Just point your finger at the screen in front of you, and you can bring up this file~~"

[March 7th]: "You're such a bad guy!"

[Blue Sparrow]: "This design... you're not planning to make all the cards shatter, are you!?"

[Aha]: "Wow~~ I love this design~ It's so much fun~~"

[Shut up]: "It's very possible that the crystal card broke because 'peace and safety' is a homophone for 'peace and safety year after year,' which is quite amusing."

[March 7th]: "Shut up! You're not going to tell lame jokes anymore, so you're going to tell hellish jokes, huh!?"

【Broken Iron - Void Treasury】: "...I don't think I taught you this. Show some respect to the heroes."

"Kevin, what would you do?"

For no apparent reason, he remembered that phrase.

Faced with this situation, what would wise sages from ancient times say?

Even Kevin was at a loss for what to do about this scene, which hadn't appeared in 50,000 years.

Mei, naturally, didn't believe that Alicia could die in Paradise, so she kept questioning Kevin and Sue.

Aponia tells Mei that Alicia's data has been lost forever from Paradise.

Mei, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Has there never been a case of memory disappearing in these 50,000 years?"

Aponia answered affirmatively, "Yes, this is indeed the first time, and it's different from before, and..."

Halfway through her sentence, Aponia looked at Su and said, "Let's... wait for Su to give his results first."

With Su's abilities, the records of Paradise were laid bare, but still no trace of Alicia's existence could be found.

Mei's face was also pale, her expression filled with barely suppressed worry.

In order to better trace the truth, Sue became suspicious of the abandoned data and asked Mei for help. For Airi's sake, Mei naturally did not refuse.

At the last moment, Kevin also appeared to help. Looking at the two expectant people, Sue forced herself to remain calm and said:

"I have retrieved all the data from the Paradise of the Past..."

Su sighed and shook his head.

"Not only did we not gain anything, but there were also errors in Sakura's data."

"The data that constituted her body had also vanished without a trace; but some traces she left behind were preserved by chance."

When they returned to Eternal Paradise, Aponia and Mebius had been arguing about Ellie for an hour.

After Kevin told them about the current situation, he asked them to keep quiet, as this matter was of great importance and no sixth person in Paradise was allowed to know about it.

At that moment, Kevin thought of the typewriter, the Paradise Information Output Terminal.

[Padofilis]: "Help! Even Sakura has been affected!"

[Gallach]: "Among the heroes who are unaware of the truth, there are not even a few who can be trusted."

[Kafka]: "It is obvious that the Heroes group was established by Ellie. With Ellie's disappearance and the infiltration of her, the trust among the Heroes is now in grave danger."

[March 7th]: "Even after Su searched through all the data in Paradise, he was still able to hide and secretly assassinate Alicia and Sakura... This guy is a bit too strong, isn't he?"

[Silver Wolf]: "Corrosive data viruses are normal. If it were just a data virus, the heroes would naturally not lose to it in the same data space. But the power of corruption is almost a natural enemy of the data space."

[Mébius]: "If it can't do these things, then I'll doubt whether it's the true Herrscher of Corruption."

[Fireworks]: "Look, take a look! The Paradise Werewolf game is in full swing! Let's see when the heroes will finally expose the lurking inferno!"

Chapter 242 Alicia is dead!

Something was taken away.

Mei asked doubtfully, "...That's all? Did anything really happen when I entered? I don't seem to have felt anything."

"Because it has nothing to do with you."

Greta stared coldly at Mei, her expression strikingly similar to Kevin's.

After listening, both Mei and Kosmo turned their gazes to Kevin.

[Star]: "Greschwitz, dyed with Kevin's colors, the ice-cold little loli, hehe~~"

[March 7th]: "So, what was conveyed between Gretchen and Aponia?"

[Kevin]: "This has nothing to do with you."

【Kafka】: "Formless and intangible, perhaps it is from Aponia, but of course this is just speculation."

[Kosmo]: "...Should we lift the restrictions or add new ones?"

【Himeko Murata】: "Mei really needs to speed things up now, there's a high chance something will happen in the archives! These special Honkai Beasts... if nothing unexpected happens, they should be the work of the Herrscher of Corruption."

[Fu Xuan]: "As expected, even the erosion is afraid of being exposed, otherwise, there would be no need to keep an eye on the archives."

[March 7]: "Could it be that he's afraid of dying together with Yingjie? I remember that guy who armed Kevin with something like that had that ability."

【Star】: "Looking at it this way, Corruption is really cowardly. It could have unleashed its power in Paradise, but it's hiding in the shadows."

[Kevin]: "...If preparations are made earlier, both Mebius and Vervier have a way to eradicate the corruption in Paradise."

[Klein]: "The method to deal with the erosion... Doctor, is it a virus-like erosion virus?"

Mei held the file tremblingly. On that paper was written a sentence, a sentence that no one wanted to hear—Alicia is dead.

Mei, refusing to believe it, began checking the other files, but all of them contained the same sentence—Alicia is dead.

Kevin called out to Mei, held out his hand, and handed her a pale white sheet of paper.

Is there any difference?

Mei didn't want to look at this kind of thing that was both deadly and psychologically damaging.

Kevin said, "The content above."

Mei took it and read it carefully, saying, "This is... Sakura's younger sister's..."

"I've seen this record before. Since you have this attitude, then... it really happened?"

"...Although it wasn't their intention, ultimately it was the rules of Aponia that distorted the minds of those guards, ultimately leading to Sakura's sister's murder?"

The file doesn't reveal anything. Mei asked Kevin if he had looked at the other files, but Kevin didn't answer.

"So, this typewriter only records objective facts?"

Only then did Mei think of the typewriter, but it was too late; the typewriter was smashed to pieces and could not be repaired.

[Potio]: "Holy crap, this adorable erosion is just so cruel!"

[Fu Xuan]: "It's still too late, or rather, for the Herrscher of Corruption, does distance really matter in the data space of Paradise?"

[Star]: "Erosion, you deserve to die!"

[Star]: "乆乆乆乆乆乆! This world has never been a good place!!"

[March 7th]: "Be normal! I'm scared."
