"I'm so glad to see you here..."

“...Mebius.”

[Star]: "Thank goodness, I knew it. How could something born from erosion possibly know what love is?"

[March 7th]: 'Thank goodness, this is Möbius's territory.'

Kiana: "Eh, doesn't that mean Möbius is the one who loves the heroes so deeply?"

[Möbius]: "Hmph, you actually believe in this nonsense?"

[Alicia]: "Professor Mebius~ Are you shy~ You really only think about us, don't you?"

[Shut up]: "What is the hardest thing in Paradise? The answer is Möbius's mouth, because Möbius has a hard mouth, and 'hard mouth' is a homophone for 'hardest,' which is hilarious."

[Silver Wolf]: "This time I agree. Shutting up is absolutely right. Even if Paradise is blown up, it will leave Mebius's mouth intact."

[Star]: "What do you mean by 'a stubborn creature from paradise'?! (Tactical lean back!)"

"And what exactly is it?"

"Mebius...did you succeed?"

"What, is that surprising?"

"So, you... see me as your last resort?"

"If the situation becomes so serious that even I am powerless to quell it, and you have come here because of corruption, then... will you be able to confirm the necessity of releasing them?"

To the arrogant Mebius, she replied as follows:

"Don't flatter yourself, Aponia. The only reason I've waited until now is because you still have value."

"Break down the barriers and link paradise and reality together, Aponia. Then, send me to where Klein is."

"Under the control of the Herrscher of Corruption, only you... can do this for me."

Because Aponia herself is integrated into the Paradise of the Past, she is equivalent to the Paradise itself. Now that Velve has died, only Aponia can do this.

But that also means she will have to incorporate everything she has created into the Herrscher's corruption. For a memory, this is no different.

If, after that, Möbius's plan fails... then it will be a pointless sacrifice.

[Star]: "Another expert!? Congratulations to Möbius for being the first to win the repechage!!"

[Silver Wolf]: "That's true. If Velvi could hold on until now under those circumstances, there's no way Mebius would just leave like this."

[Gui Naifen]: "But even in this situation, Mebius is still so stubborn."

[Kafka]: "How dishonest of you."

[March 7th]: "So what is Möbius's plan?"

Kiana: "No need to think about it, just keep watching."

In the past, I was the reason you existed in this world. But this time…

“Möbius…you won’t let us have it anymore, will you?”

"Of course, I'm not you."

"Then... I will grant your wish."

For no apparent reason, Aponia recalled some past events.

When she bid farewell to that world, she made a vow to use her own life to etch everything about that person into history, so that it would last forever.

Now, her body is about to dissipate.

But that which is eternal and indestructible reappeared in the world because of the prayers of the people.

Möbius sneered: "Hmph, an invincible enemy? Then let's arrange an equally formidable opponent for her."

"Don't you want to see who's stronger? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Okay, sure..."

Then, the light shone forth.

Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, it dances from the deepest depths and flies towards a glorious future.

"If possible, please apologize for me, to that person..."

"...in the past."

[Theresa]: "Mebius is trying to release the former Herrscher of Corruption, but... what is Jizo Mitama?"

【Himeko Murata】: "Theresa, have you forgotten? We mentioned the experiment about the Herrscher of Corruption before. I think the method should be to turn Mebius into an artificial Herrscher of Corruption."

[Raiden Mei]: "Is this what Velvet was talking about when she said Mebius had another plan? This plan does not need Alicia and does not conflict with Velvet's plan at all."

[Silver Wolf]: "A replica of the Herrscher of Corruption from 50,000 years ago is battling the current Herrscher of Corruption. What kind of cyber-cricket fight is this?"

[Star]: "I don't know, but it's an Erosion Civil War. If Mebius's plan really succeeds, the Herrscher of Erosion will definitely win."

[March 7th]: "What kind of nonsense is this?"

Chapter 277 Kosmo's Choice

The impact on the mind.

"But the truth is... that rational part of my consciousness simply can't wake up. I've already done similar attempts before, and that's the result."

"……All right."

"Perhaps you should try your luck with Sue, or... Aponia?"

“I’ve already contacted them, and their answer was the same as yours.”

"So I was only ranked third? Even after Aponia."

The girl shrugged, and although she didn't show any signs of defeat, she did send a signal.

"I promise you."

"You just said you couldn't do it."

Wilvi spread her hands and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm not even your top choice. Even I... have been somewhat aroused by my competitive spirit."

"Moreover, the so-called inability to do it does indeed have another meaning."

[Star]: "Even in the flashbacks, Teacher DaV is still C!"

[March 7th]: "It's over, it's over. Every time we see a flashback, it proves that a hero will die. Is it Kosmo's turn this time?"

[Theresa]: "Kosmo wants to use Collapse Form and Erosion in battle, is that really okay?"

【Broken Iron - Void Treasury】: "Vishnu can not only devour matter, but also data, just like you, Little Theresa, have also devoured dreams in the future."

[Theresa]: "Huh?"

A companion.

Faced with Kosmo's urging, Velvi didn't put on any more of a show, but instead went straight to the point:

"You must have heard about the consequences if one memory kills another in Paradise, right?"

"Due to the importance of the Yingjie memory, one of them will be left in Paradise every four point one seconds."

"For the deceased, the loss of memory is almost negligible after the data is restored."

"But based on your assumptions, the situation becomes completely different,"

“There seems to be a connection between these two…” Kosmo also began to think. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

Velvi nodded: "Because of the irreversibility of your process, it is more like a continuous corruption for you."

"Therefore, neither splitting the system nor replacing it with a backup can solve the problem at its root, unless..."

"...Unless I have to give up more than others?"

"That's right, I can certainly split your thoughts and preserve your mind."

"After that, if one day you lose yourself because of some kind of 'choice', at least we still have the opportunity to let you return to human form through death and backup."

"But the price is that you will lose everything you have experienced during this time."

"...Like Hua?" Kosmo asked.

Velvi shook her head: "Once you make this decision, you are destined to lose everything that follows."

"To live as a human with nothing, or to one day take everything you have and become a monster... Think about it carefully."

"You can only have it if you die."

[Silver Wolf]: "It's over. Next up to stand against the erosion is Kosmo. But at this moment, the choice Kosmo makes may be even more tragic than the way Velvey suggested."

[Fu Xuan]: "If Kosmo agrees to Velvi's request, then even if he is a memory body, he will only have one life left."

[The Herald of Knowledge]: "Is it common knowledge that the old antique suffers from amnesia? Even Kosmo immediately thinks of the old antique when he thinks of amnesia."

[Star]: "Fu Hua is a professional amnesiac. In our group, no one can compare to her amnesiac skills!"

Fu Hua: "...Not that bad."

"Then you can."

Out of a learned instinct, she brought everything to a close.

With a long exhale, all of Sakura's data was finally absorbed by her—for Sakura, the last moment passed by and would never return.

After that, the Herrscher of Corruption began searching for Mei's traces in Paradise. Faced with Paradise's defense mechanisms, Corruption easily eroded and deleted them all.

These defensive mechanisms, which even Yingjie couldn't stop, naturally couldn't stop the Herrscher of Corruption.

She nimbly arrived at a teleportation portal:

"Alright, Mei... I'm going to catch up with you."

Just as she stepped through that door, a sudden wave of inexplicable sorrow washed over her, almost knocking her to the ground.

"How...how could this be...this feeling is..."

The most powerful being in the Pure Land of Past Lives at this very moment was almost unable to control himself due to this sudden surge of emotion.

"...Is this Alicia's feeling? What happened?"

As an omniscient being, she immediately confirmed the reason—a huge birdcage rose from the ground, trapping her and another person inside.

At that moment, Corrosion's tone instantly turned cold: "So it was you..."

"Kosmo, have you made the same choice as Qianjie? Disregarding everything, just to stand against me?"

[Star]: "Well done, Kosmo, at this moment you are the strongest hero in my heart!!"

Kiana: "What happened? Why is it Kosmo? Wasn't the Corruptor supposed to go through this portal to find Mei?"

[Sunday]: "Erosion went to find Mei to prevent Alicia from being resurrected, but it will take time for Mei to revive Alicia, and Paradise's defense mechanisms cannot stop Erosion's progress..."

[Gallach]: "And at this point, Yingjie is needed to fill in the gaps."

[ ]: "To give back to our audience and to enhance the viewing experience, we have temporarily added a first-person perspective view at this moment, allowing you to better appreciate the story's brilliance!"

【】: "Forced activation~"

[March 7th]: "Yay! Bring in the Kosmo and give the Corruption a good beating!"

[Silver Wolf]: "First-person perspective combat, is this spawn system really that kind?"

[Silver Wolf]: "Ah, Minos! You're not going to drag us into the corruption, are you!?"

【】: "You got it right~~"

[Tesla]: "You ***** are even ****er than Otto! You're a **** anthropomorphic **** thing!"

Chapter 278 Kosmo has become a hero!!

"Then...you really won't have anything left."

Amidst the audience's gritted teeth, Erosion once again donned Alicia's smile and walked forward.

"Has the situation I least wanted to see happened again?"

"Or can you give me a different answer...?"
