Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

In the face of Mei's denial, the Herrscher of Corrosion began to argue again.

In other words, in her opinion, this was actually Mobius's last wish.

【Take their data away from paradise and fulfill their wishes before they died. Isn't that what Mobius thought too? I just made the idea possible.】

[Well, okay, if Mei doesn't like it, we can also... try another way?]

As the screen went dark and then lit up again——

The scenery in front of her changed again. Mei saw an incredible sight and an even more incredible person.

[...Thousands of calamities?]

Looking at the man in a beach suit and a mask on his head, Mei was a little surprised for a moment - why was this man still unwilling to take off the mask even though the illusion he created was eroded?

Chapter 413 Mei: There is nothing on the island? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

[What's wrong? Looks like he ate a fly.]

Whether it's from his appearance, the mask, or his arrogant attitude when speaking as if he's someone very arrogant.

This thousand calamities are extremely close to "reality".

[Is it strange to see me in this kind of situation? ]

He tugged at his collar in annoyance.

[…Oh, it’s so noisy. Why do I have to stay here and play a ridiculous game with a bunch of idiots?]

[Just because today is that woman’s birthday?]

Although it was unclear who the woman Qianjie was referring to was, there were very few people who would attract his support.

And there seemed to be only one person who would be described in this tone.

To be honest, if I didn’t know that everything in front of me was just an illusion.

Maybe Mei was going to be deceived like this.

[…Herrscher of Corrosion, the meaningless role-playing should end.]

[Herrser? That thing has been completely destroyed, why mention it? But... hearing this name again after so many years makes me want to fight. If you have time, change your clothes, call everyone you know, and have a good fight with me... Raiden Mei.]

"Wow! Incredible. As far as I can remember, this seems to be the only time Qianjie called Mei's name?"

"Is it possible that this is an illusion created by the Herrscher of Corrosion?"

"Hehe~ Or is it possible that the man simply can't remember the woman's name?"

As the false Qianjie created by the Herrscher of Erosion began to speak at length in front of Mei, comments from the audience immediately floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, at this moment, everyone noticed Qianjie's strange reaction.

However, even though his true colors were exposed, the Herrscher of Erosion still did not forget to start his long speech.

[Don't be surprised, this is the life Qianjie wants. ]

[An unchanging life, a decent opponent, and... a place that can be called "home". He is such a simple person, but unfortunately, most people fail to realize this. ]

The Herrscher of Corrosion interpreted this powerful enemy from her perspective.

Of course, these were actually the information she obtained during her battle with Qianjie.

She was not in the mood to delve into whether the three were true or not.

The reason why he specifically took it out to show Mei at this moment was to support his own "nonsense".

[Look, Mei, mutual understanding is such a difficult thing. Even if we are comrades who have lived and died together, even if we have spent ten thousand years together, there are still corners in people's hearts that cannot be seen.]

[But data won’t lie. The world I can see is completely different from yours. Only I can truly understand them, only I can give them the future they long for, and only I——]

——! !

Before Ershi could finish his words, a loud bang was heard.

Under the fierce bombardment, the illusion constructed by the data was shattered, revealing the astonished face of the Herrscher.

【you......】

Mei's sudden flipping of the table prevented the Herrscher from breaking down on the spot.

Fortunately, she held herself together at the critical moment and did not start a quarrel on the spot.

[Ah, Mei, I get upset when I’m always interrupted. 】

[Could it be that... you are the one who holds a grudge and don't like the future I have arranged for Qianjie?]

Although the Herrscher of Corrosion was extremely furious, she still tried her best to appear calm and warned him.

Unfortunately, Mei doesn't buy it at all.

[Stop pretending. ...And stop imitating her. It will only expose your poor acting skills.]

[Alicea...finally returned to her, right?]

The Herrscher of Corrosion mentioned Alicia without any hesitation.

In other words, a big reason why she resisted arguing with Mei was that she felt she could have a good talk with her.

[I know that in your heart, she is special. You are angry, you feel unfair, and you just hope that she can have a better ending.]

[This... is indeed a bit too much to ask. All I can do is to use the corrections of other memories and use my own data as a blueprint to restore her data as much as possible.]

[As you can see, this is my limit.]

In other words, for the Ruler of Corrosion, she was still unable to reveal the full picture of Alicia.

Just maintaining this form is difficult enough.

But it doesn't matter, she will try her best to 'be' her.

[We have the same face, the same personality, the same memories. If Mei wishes, we can also go through those past memories again——]

[Enough! The more you act like this, the more you remind others that you and Alicia... are completely different.]

"(*/ω＼*) I'm really happy that Mei said something like this."

"Indeed, I didn't expect that she would care so much about Alicia?"

"Humph, maybe she just can't stand this guy who wants to take over her position?"

For everyone, the paradise of the afterlife is like a home, a harbor away from the troubles of the world.

This was reflected in the previous conversation between the memory and Mei.

To them, everything in the outside world is meaningless.

Although the real them have more or less died in reality, in this space made up of data, they are able to achieve what they once wanted to achieve.

The paradise of the past is like a harbor for heroes, protecting them from wind and rain.

And Alicia means paradise, just as her name implies.

Now the Ruler of Corrosion has actually turned his attention to Alicia. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest.

Of course, she was not completely out of danger at this moment.

Because in this paradise, there is another terrible thing that she has to pay attention to...

[Just to... activate an "anti-Kevin weapon" that has long been ineffective.]

In an instant, the atmosphere in the Ferris wheel car froze.

【...】

In the face of Mei's frankness, the Herrscher of Corrosion remained silent.

[That is the only thing you fear, and the only weapon in Paradise that can completely destroy you.]

The famous detective Mei pieced the clues together bit by bit, and finally came to the conclusion of the key truth that the heroes had not told her.

[The order to destroy everything in the paradise of the past is neither "unanimous approval" nor "the minority obeys the majority"...]

[…It’s “Alishia’s will”, right?]

Mei's statement hits the nail on the head about what erosion fears the most.

The weapon 666 that could destroy the paradise with one click was what she feared the most.

Because once the paradise is completely deleted, she will no longer exist.

The activation condition of this ultimate weapon is Alicia's will.

Therefore, in order to avoid the worst from happening, all she could do was to delete Alicia.

In theory, this should be foolproof, but she always feels that... Mei will be the opportunity for change.

[Hahaha...hahahaha...Mei, you are such a smart girl. ]

[Yes, I really didn't expect that Wei Wei, a rare genius in the world, would leave me such a great gift even after he disappeared.]

["Delete the entire paradise of the past with one click"... What a grand invention. But, so what? Mei, you seem to have made a mistake. I am not trying to "take away" the initiative, but to - "create" it.]

Alicia was indeed the only condition for activating this "anti-Kevin weapon", but now, her original body and soul have been destroyed.

For the Ruler of Erosion, if anyone still has a chance to control it, that person must be himself.

And she also had enough patience to take over control of it little by little.

Before that, she also had a long time to destroy every blade of grass, every insect and every animal in the paradise.

[When that time comes, Mei... guess what kind of ending I will give everyone in Paradise?]

'Click——'

The Ferris wheel made a slight sound and stopped. The sky was gloomy, and no one knew what was brewing.

(This is a lie. If it were true, she wouldn't have had to pester me or keep testing me.)

(Whatever the reason, her abnormal words and actions all point to one fact... She is afraid, afraid of a "possibility" that has not yet happened but is fatal enough.)

Mei was secretly judging in her heart.

(In that case... now is the time.)

(I must convince her that I have discovered the "flaw" that will cause her to fail. Then, I will take advantage of this only opportunity... and go all out.)

[How is it, Mei? ]

[He remained silent. Was he thinking about how to refute me? Or... did he finally agree with my point of view?]

Just as Mei was pondering secretly, the Herrscher of Corrosion spoke.

Since she took the initiative, Mei doesn't mind fighting back.

[I was just thinking... you really shouldn't delete Alicia's memory. Even if it's not for survival, but purely for your own sake.]

【......? 】

Mei's words made Ershi not know how to respond for a moment.

And while she was silent, Mei continued speaking.

[Data won’t lie, and you know this better than anyone. So, if you look through her life carefully, you will realize that… even if you can replicate her appearance, imitate her behavior, and repeat every word she said… you can’t be her. ]

【You will never be able to become her. 】

Mei's words were like a bolt from the blue.

As she declared, the screen went black.

The darkness rolled in, growing secretly like a vine in the shade.

In the endless darkness, Mei slowly stood up as if waking up from a long dream. This experience had already been engraved in every stage of her life.

The dim light spots float in the distance, like the afterimage of a dispersing soul.

She reached out her hand toward the light.

【......here it is?】

(I remember that on the Ferris wheel, I attacked the Herrscher of Corrosion, and then...)

While Mei was stunned, Erosion had already walked behind her.

He complained in a rather impatient tone.
