I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

Mei responded ruthlessly:

"I just wanted to eat Ye Ming from the beginning to the end. I didn't associate him with you."

"..."

Even the lovely Alicia's expression froze for a moment because of these words.

"You're so straightforward... I'll be jealous."

However, it is unclear who he is jealous of.

"..."

Everyone was waiting for Ye Ming to take the initiative to throw himself into their arms, but Qiana remained silent, her eyes full of envy.

"What's wrong? Kiana?"

Himeko poked Kiana gently on the forehead.

"Everyone has been intimate with Ye Ming, but I...have never experienced that feeling."

"Qiana's debt, this is your own problem."

Jizi complained:

"That night, I helped you get a great opportunity, but you hugged Ye Ming and cried the whole night."

"That, that is..."

When talking about that incident, Kiana felt ashamed and regretful. She hugged her red head and wanted to bang it against the wall.

"I couldn't adjust to it at the time. If I had known this would be the result, I would have... Ugh!"

Kiana knew it was too late to say anything now, so she simply kept silent and looked towards Ye Ming.

"I won't lose either."

Kiana made up her mind secretly and began to make some plans in her heart.

…………

At the same time, Mei, who was wandering around, found Weiwei and, with her help, reached the deepest place.

There, Aponia had been waiting for a long time.

After a brief conversation, Mei realizes that the Land of the Past is hiding a huge secret that Aponiya doesn't want anyone to know.

She predicted that Mei would die in ten days, but at the same time told her that the prophecy would not take effect as long as she left the paradise.

To put it bluntly, it means letting Mei quit and stop pursuing the secret, otherwise she will be dead.

In response, Aponya nodded frankly...

In fact, she couldn't see that Mei would die in a few days, but she couldn't see Mei's fate in the paradise ten days later.

It’s just like the end of the world in 2012. It’s not that we really saw the end of the world, but that the world after 2012 cannot be found in the prophecy.

"So I think...either I wiped out Miss Mei, or...I wiped out the Paradise of the Past."

Of course, as for the latter, Aponya had no reason to do so, so the answer she came to was naturally the former.

"Is there a possibility...Aponya, I wiped you out?"

"This is a typical fallacy." Aponya was not angry, but corrected it with a compassionate voice:

"I have tried to change my fate, but I failed. Fate is inevitable."

"I have tried to change humans with discipline, but I failed. Human nature remains unchanged."

"Finally, I want humans to be isolated individuals who can still feel happy even if the end is inevitable."

"But I failed, and humanity cannot stand being alone."

"And before the shadow of death falls upon me, there is one last way I have yet to try."

"If in some world, I became the heaven and the earth, and turned into destiny itself, would I still be as powerless as before?"

Despite learning about Aponia's bleak vision, Mei still holds a different answer.

The battle between the two was about to break out, and during their fight, Aponia was constantly giving Mei gentle advice.

But this tenderness does not come from caring for Mei, but from Aponia's own piety.

She was like a believer praying before God, telling Mei that fate cannot be changed.

During this process, Mei was no match for Aponia.

Fortunately, she also received a lot of help, including gifts from Gray Shu, and...

Raven interferes with the Paradise by persuading (kidnapping) Klain and then provides support.

In the background, you can hear Klain's gagged whimpering, as if the scene of being tied up is right in front of you.

In the end, the battle came to an end when Mei had only one drop of blood left.

But that did not determine the winner, but was an illusion created by Aponia, and she was completely unharmed.

"I always feel that... after entering the paradise, there are many more battles like this where you have to lock your health, kill someone based on the plot, save someone based on the plot, and don't need to fight hard."

At this point in the game, Danzhu did not rush to advance the plot, but instead complained about the combat experience.

"That's true. It seems that no matter how you fight, you can advance the game's plot." Cang Xuan also nodded.

"Oh, isn't this good?"

Ai Lixia said happily:

"Not everyone is good at games. Only by reducing the difficulty appropriately can more people experience the fun."

At that moment, everyone reacted.

This is the result of Alicia, a player who has a hard time in the game, seeking advice from Ye Ming after being beaten up by herself in the game.

549. Kiana: I won’t be the last one, right?

"You guys can classify things so carefully..."

To Ye Ming, there was no difference at all in the actions described by the girls.

"Actually there's not much difference, but because it's you, I want to experience them all."

Ying clenched his fists, looking like he wanted it all.

"When kissing, is it from shallow to deep or deep to shallow? When burying your head, is it on the left, right or in the middle..."

I savored every detail and said happily:

“Every deviation is a different experience we want.”

Rita handed the tea to everyone

Mei, who couldn't find a way to break through the illusion for the time being, could only start a conversation with Aponia, who didn't have any hostility.

Aponia believes that the ending cannot be changed, but Mei believes that even if you can see the destined ending, the process can be changed.

"There are too many endings that we cannot change, but before that, there are still many things I can do, and the ending... will also show a completely different meaning because of this."

In fact, it's not just Mei, Ye Ming and Kiana are the same as well, because they remain radiant in their predetermined fate, because they have seen the beauty that is not allowed by fate.

That's why we have to fight to the end, no matter what the result is. If we cannot achieve it, let the torch be passed on.

"Mei, you know what? Someone once said the exact same thing to me."

Aponya was deeply moved and recalled:

"At that time, she also ran towards an already destined ending without hesitation."

"From beginning to end, I could not see her fate."

From the moment I met Aponiya, she was either hiding in the mysterious darkness or giving people a suffocating feeling of oppression during the battle.

Only when we have a close and gentle conversation like now can I see her plump and soft figure and her beautiful face under her long golden hair.

But such a beautiful Aponiya looked sad at this moment.

"I thought she achieved something I couldn't do in a way I didn't know, which made the ending turn around."

"But, as you can see... the ending has not been changed. That once glorious civilization has now become nothing but a grain of sand."

“So I choose to remember everything about that person, record every moment that person’s life intertwined with mine, and read through it carefully over a long period of time.”

"I saw how she survived, I saw how she fought, I saw her walk through the mud, I saw her crowned with thorns...she attended her last ball with new makeup."

[Who on earth is it that Aponia speaks so highly of?]

[Just like Ye Ming changed Mei and Kiana, Aponia was also changed by that person]

[Could it be Alicia? Dressed up, at the ball, it feels like it's her]

[But mud...thorns...can't be connected to Alicia]

"Just like you are now, that day, she stood before me and told me her fate that would disappear in ten days."

"And fourteen days later, the new dress that Eden prepared for her will be ready, and there is still real joy and anticipation in her eyes."

"Sixteen days later, Kevin's birthday will come again. She will sing a ballad and leave him one last gift."

Aponia saw "the shadow of that person" in Mei. She was impressed, but also curious whether she could still hold on to that idea when true despair came.

So Aponiya let Mei go and asked her to meet her "kind".

"You are qualified to go to the location of the Thirteenth Herrscher."

Before Aponia finished speaking, everyone... including the girls in the studio showed surprised expressions.

[There is also the Thirteenth Herrscher? ]

【Why haven’t I heard of it before? 】

"Kiana, did you meet the thirteenth Herrscher in the end?"

Jizi simply found a former clearer player, but Kiana just shook her head:

"Except for Ye Ming, my memory is already very vague, but if you ask me to recall it irresponsibly..."

Finally, Kiana shook her head: "There shouldn't be a thirteenth one."

"Where's Mei?" Bronya asked.

"Don't embarrass me. Not to mention now, even at that time, my memory was messed up by Ye Ming like a paste."

As she spoke, Mei also glanced at Ye Ming, the resentment in her eyes clearly visible.

"You haven't let it go yet?" Ye Ming asked.

"If it's your fault, I can certainly let it go."

Mei sighed:

"But it was my fault. I'm afraid I'll remember it for the rest of my life."

Ye Ming didn't know how to comfort Meiyi for a moment, but he was very interested in a word that Meiyi mentioned.

"Paste...is that so?"

He couldn't help laughing:

"The paste in your head is so important."

You should know that glue is an essential prop for sticking things together.

···············

Mei in the game completed the tests given to her by Aponia and the Thirteenth Herrscher and reached the deepest place.

On the layers of stairs of light is a glowing door.

Inside is the great secret hidden in the paradise of the past life that Mei has been searching for for a long time.

"You finally came here~~"

Flowers are fragrant, butterflies are flying, and everywhere you look is a garden with lush grass and singing birds, and the voice of the "greeter" is even more familiar.

"Well, let me introduce myself again, I am Alicia, the second of the "True Self" of the Fire Chaser."

Sitting on the bench, Alicia is still as playful and cute as ever, and her smile is as beautiful as a flower.
