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

[I said, it’s too late to say goodbye]

【Why learn something else but learn from a duck】

687. The motivation to live

"what……"

Mebius's trembling breathing seemed more like a cover for sobbing.

"It's really ugly. Don't you even have the energy to say goodbye?"

With an elusive look on her face, she came to Klein's side.

“But this is also a good thing.”

"Snakes... don't want anyone to witness their end."

"Just have a good sleep, and when you wake up again... you will be free."

[When I woke up, I found that the person I cared about was gone]

[When Klein died, Mebius probably felt the same way.]

Not only the audience, but Mebius herself also obviously associated it with the feeling at that time, and she also became a little reluctant.

When he wakes up again, the duty Klein has fulfilled for 50,000 years will no longer be there.

She must find a reason to live again and face the uncertain future with her own will.

In comparison, death might be easier to accept.

As for Mebius, what kind of words did her real self leave for Klein... She might never know.

That was her missing memory——Alicia had said so before, and she had no way of knowing when it would end.

But that didn't matter, because at this moment, she already understood.

So, in the end, Mebius used the little data he had left to transform into a physical form and gently hugged Klein.

"The future... is the last kind of infinity I want to create for you."

"Goodbye, my understander."

Then, the only remaining data turned into flowing light and disappeared completely.

[I thought it was the Sword Master, but I threw Mebius out.]

【Your title is simply a fraud! 】

[The planner is the kind who draws stockings on the cover, but takes them off right after the show starts.]

As if to prove that he was not lying, the perspective returned to Fu Hua.

Some of the power of the former Twelfth Herrscher was surging in her body, and many monsters began to attack the Herrscher of Corrosion.

“No matter what happens, even if you are hurt or betrayed... you must still love everything equally and powerfully.”

After killing all the summoned creatures under his control, the hatred in the smile of the Herrscher of Corrosion became more and more intense.

"Back then...how did she do it when faced with a similar situation?"

"No one knows, that's why she is Alicia." Hua replied.

"So, you also think... that I can't do this kind of thing, and I can't become her?"

There is no need for anyone to express their opinion on this question, as the answer is obvious to everyone.

"Okay, okay, now, I admit that, too."

Even the Herrscher of Corrosion himself gave up on becoming Alicia.

"But it doesn't matter. The solution is simple. For those things I can't convince myself to continue loving..."

The Herrscher of Corrosion said happily as if he had suddenly realized something:

"Wouldn't it be fine if they all disappeared?"

Even though it's such a brutal statement, there is currently no way to stop her.

Even Fu Hua, who had obtained the power of the former Twelfth Herrscher, could not hold on for long and was quickly defeated in the battle.

"This time...I won't show mercy."

After Hua was knocked down, the Herrscher of Corrosion walked up to her and said with a cruel smile:

"Goodbye, Hua."

The picture turned pitch black, which was exactly how Hua felt at the moment.

"Is that... all?"

In the darkness when her consciousness was about to fade away, she seemed to have returned to the day when she "set out".

“I want to know what I can do.”

"Don't worry, you have a lifetime to think about this problem."

"But... this is the last chance."

At this moment, Hua no longer had that much time to think.

"Tell me the answer."

This is of course impossible, after all, the person in front of him, who is like Ji Zi, has passed away.

The battle just now seemed to be a microcosm of her fate.

Due to some coincidences, she gained unexpected power, but when she really wanted to change something, she was still powerless.

[When a person really wants to change the world, he will find out how small his personal power is]

【The Bishop’s Quotations, always read and always new】

Hua may have some reasons to live, but they are... not strong enough.

The mission she kept talking about might just be a heavy and important shackle for her... at least it was not a motivation.

"Hua, you stay here... and slowly feel the approach of death."

Suddenly! A blazing flame penetrated the eroded chest, splitting it from the inside out.

That brilliance is like a star disappearing.

"No! It's not over yet! Herrscher of Corrosion!"

In the face of erosion, the warrior girl stood up and stood firm.

"Indeed... I... I still don't know what I can do, nor do I know why I am fighting, but..."

But perhaps humans do not live by relying on purpose.

Since death is the inevitable end, how do human beings, generation after generation, survive such an end and create the future again and again?

Hua could not give a definite answer, but, like the people who once existed, she also said this to herself:

“Go and see…Do not be afraid.”

[Oh! It's on fire! ]

[See the spirit of human inheritance! Herrscher of Corrosion]

But just when everyone was looking forward to Fu Hua's counterattack, the chapter ended.

【? ? ? ? 】

[No, I just started a fire, how come it was extinguished?]

[I hope you get cut off like this when you go to the toilet]

"I feel like... I seem to understand why the monitor is always so pure and unselfish."

In addition to the same feelings as the audience, what Kiana and the others felt most deeply was the sentence "The reason for living is not strong enough."

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true."

The person who expressed her feelings was actually Fu Hua herself. She had never thought about why she became like that before.

"Before the collapse, I still had a desire for food and a desire to make many friends and live a happy school life... I was still normal at that time."

"Especially after meeting Ye Ming, the urge to be with him has become stronger and stronger."

"Until the collapse, I thought I had lost everything. It seemed that from then on, the motivation to live became insufficient."

Apart from the mission you shoulder, everything else can be "casual". If this continues, it will be difficult not to be clear-minded and free from desires.

"Then...if you were given the choice, would you crave desire, or would you remain bland as always?"

688. The world is unfair

"Then...if you were given the choice, would you crave desire, or would you remain bland as always?"

The question raised by Ji Zi is very interesting, because for Fu Hua, she has always been passive in forming or changing her personality, and has never had the right to actively choose.

"As for the monitor, he would choose a more bland life after all."

"I can't imagine what Hua would be like if he was obsessed with desire."

Everyone tried to guess Fu Hua's thoughts, and finally they all came to the same conclusion.

"..."

After hearing everyone's inference, Fu Hua seemed a little shy and embarrassed.

The blush that should have appeared on her face was hidden very well by her, just like the words in her heart that she wanted to speak several times but didn't know how to say.

After much thought, she decided to start with the simplest way, such as... answering Ji Zi's question.

"I will choose to live by desire."

"Ugh?"

Fu Hua's sudden words stunned everyone for a moment, and they even wondered if they had heard it wrong.

The voice was still that quiet voice, but the words that came out seemed extremely high-pitched.

"But... that's not like the class monitor's style at all."

"It's not like that. I'm not that kind of person."

Fu Hua explained calmly:

"But the thing about Himeko is, if there is a choice, isn't it?"

She looked at Ye Ming, and the emotions revealed in her eyes did not belong to a fusion warrior or a Red Kite Immortal, but to an ordinary woman.

"If I had never experienced the Honkai, the stubbornness in my character might not have been so serious."

"At least... my desire to be with Ye Ming is the same as everyone else."

"In my spare time, I would go to the game hall, watch movies, or be taken by him to taste delicious food."

"If... we spend the night together, it's not impossible to be lazy the next morning and not go for morning exercise."

This is a normal life for ordinary people, but for Fu Hua, it is a very decadent behavior.

But with her understanding of desire, this was all she could think of.

"Except for being with Ye Ming, everything else seems to be the same as now."

"What do you mean by desire? It's just desire for Ye Ming, right?"

After being exposed by everyone, Fu Hua's hidden shyness finally came out a little.

"In short, no matter what it was like before, I really want to try that kind of life now... even if it's not suitable for me."

If the Ruler of Erosion was facing Fu Hua at this moment.
