“Aponia…I’ve heard that name before, a powerful psycho-sensory fusion warrior, right?”

"Yes, the psychopathic type, the disgusting type, that's why I had to wait so long. But this is the only thing... I'm willing to be patient about."

“One day, I will tear her apart, piece by piece… those hands that everyone envies, I will throw them into the blood of Aponia and watch them be completely stained a dirty red.”

Mei looked at Qianjie with an expression that seemed to ask, "Why do these words form a sentence?": "...You just said that she is your friend?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Let me confirm this first. Although I've been here for a while, Qianjie... you've never considered me a friend, have you?"

Qianjie said disdainfully, "You can think about it when you're dreaming, but at other times..."

[Star]: "Aponia and Thousand Calamities... what an incredibly touching pair of friends!!"

【Bengtie·Xier】: "This is already considered an enemy, right? The kind of enemy that can't be reconciled."

[Theresa]: "You... how do good friends from the previous civilization communicate so intimately?"

[Alicia]: "Actually... only Qianjie and Aponia are like that. They have their own little tricks for communicating."

[Fu Xuan]: "Judging from this, Qian Jie must have suffered a great loss at the hands of Aponia. He looked furious when the psychic-sensory fusion warrior was mentioned."

[Silver Wolf]: "Maybe they'll be controlled by Bonia's discipline? Just like A-Ren and Kafka."

[March 7]: "This is completely different, okay? At least Blade wouldn't think of treating Kafka like this, tearing her to pieces, right?"

And Klein stuffed a lot of work into his hands.

After saying goodbye to Klein, Mei learned from Airi that Paddo had returned, and then Mei rushed straight to the shop in Paradise.

"One thousand one hundred and thirteen..."

"One thousand one hundred and fourteen..."

Wow, there are so many silver coins! How long will it take me to count them all?!

"Hmm? We have guests?"

Mei asked Pado about the raven's whereabouts, but Pado didn't know either, and Pado's cat food cans were also missing.

Therefore, Pado felt that the recent Paradise was not very safe, so Pado chose Mei as her bodyguard. Pado helped Mei with the way, and Mei protected Pado's safety.

Mei naturally agreed to this, and with each call of "Mei-nee" from Pado, she gained a super seniority, and incidentally obtained Pado's Dream Imprint.

On their journey to find the person, Mei dealt with all the monsters they encountered, while Padosa showed no intention of intervening. Mei asked in bewilderment:

"Pado, are you planning to just stand by and watch?"

"Oh dear, Mei-nee, I'm just a shop owner; I'm really not good at fighting."

[Star]: "What an adorable catgirl who runs a shop!!"

[Blue Sparrow]: "Klein has really been working overtime enough. She grabs anyone she can and asks them for help..."

[Bronya Zaychek]: "Bronya expressed doubt that Padofelis had any fighting ability."

[Padofilis]: "I'm really weak. According to your Destiny's ranking system, I should only be a B-rank, right?"

[Collapse Iron - Void Treasury]: "I think it should be considered A-rank, right?"

[Himeko Murata]: "Isn't this a pretty good level of strength?"

[March 7th]: "When others say they are weak, they should look at who they are comparing themselves to..."

"You've been missing for so long, and here you are... playing with a cat?"

"Please spare me. Teasing a cat? You're more likely to be teased by a cat. If it weren't for her, how would I be stuck here unable to get out?"

Once the three people and the cat were all there, Pado led the way, and they quickly returned to the hall.

Upon arriving at the hall, Raven recounted his experiences exploring Paradise to Mei, and remarked that the pitch-black world deep within felt like a...

"Oh no... this is terrible. That woman gave me a gold pendant with a rather large sapphire set in it."

“She said it would help me bring the person I was waiting for to me to her—though I don’t know what that meant.”

Mei guessed that the pendant might help them travel back to their original destination, and she could guess with her eyes closed that the pendant's whereabouts were definitely related to a certain cat.

[Star]: "Pado, Pado, your little hands aren't clean..."

[Sambo]: "I think, well, maybe Pado is just having an occupational hazard."

[Qingque]: "It's reasonable for me to charge you a little something for showing you the way, isn't it?"

[Padofilis]: "Eh?"

[Kafka]: "At the deepest depths, there is a feeling of imprisonment... It seems that Bonya has imprisoned herself."

[Silver Wolf]: "Similar abilities to yours?"

[Kafka]: "Baby, this is just a guess."

I had to retake the exam yesterday.

Chapter 216 The Deepest Place

"...Should I call you that now, my adorable little lab rat?"

“Mebius…it’s rare to see you like this; it feels like it’s been ages since I last saw you.”

Mei didn't question Mebius's sarcastic tone or how she knew those words. As for Ai, that Xiangzi, the contents of that loudspeaker should have already spread throughout Paradise.

Mei immediately suspected that the new anomaly in Paradise was related to Mebius, but this time Mei really wronged Mebius.

Furthermore, Möbius mentioned the existence of a magician, and as for the identity of this magician...

Möbius had no intention of telling anyone and hoped to see Mei completely fooled by Shoko.

[Vilvie]: "Looks like it's my turn to appear next. I hope the little surprise you're giving Mei won't disappoint me, my future self!"

[Alicia]: "Actually... I'm still curious to know, who's the better cook, Mei or Velvet?"

Raiden Mei: "? Velvet is also an expert in cooking?"

[Vilvie]: "I can do anything I want!"

[Star]: "Great, very energetic!"

[Beng Tie·Xier]: "After going around in circles like this, Mei was still captured by Aponia. Is this the power of prophecy?"

Silver Wolf: "Destiny, boy!"

【Kafka】: "Aponia's prophecy... is like seeing the end, so no matter what, fate will reach this ending."

【Himeko】: "And Eriol's prophecy is like seeing the possibility of destiny, so relying on you Star Core Hunters, you guide destiny toward the ending you desire?"

[Black Tower]: "It seems... Elio and Aponia's abilities only look similar; their cores are not the same."

Kiana: 'So? Why is she targeting Mei?'

[Raiden Mei]: "Don't worry, Kiana, I'll be fine!"

Forgive me, Mei. I cannot answer your question right now.

“That would cause you deeper doubts, or even misunderstandings… These are not my intentions, so believe me, neither I nor this prison have any ill intentions towards you.”

"Well, let's just consider this a temporary resting place, or... a completely empty space that exists solely for the purpose of us meeting."

Although Mei remained vigilant, she was completely unable to resist under her voice. It was as if her mind was not her own; no matter what Mei did, Mei would do it.

But Aponia seemed to just want Mei to rest and didn't do anything to harm her.

And so, guided by Aponia, Mei fell into a deep sleep.

When Mei woke up, she was back in that familiar hall.

【Tesla】: "***It's another first-encounter kill. Mei, as the Herrscher of Thunder, is she really that powerless in the Paradise of the Past?"

[March 7th]: "Why don't we take a look at what those heroes do?"

[Star]: "A perfect match for my major!"

[Thousand Calamities]: "Aponia!!"

Fu Xuan: "Her ability..."

[Silver Wolf]: "Replace Aponia's with 'word of power', and it will sound more like Kafka's 'word of power'."

[Raven]: "But...why? Aponia went through all that trouble just to let Mei rest there? No, why!?"

[Qingque]: "The victim has shared their feelings about being victimized."

[Alicia]: "Hmm, I've already told you, Aponia is a very kind person, how could she hurt Mei?"

Kiana: "Mebius, that's what you said too!"

[March 7th]: "Is this one of the few normal people Mei has seen in Paradise?"

[Star]: "This is not normal at all!? But this cat is so wonderful!!"

[Alicia]: "Isn't she adorable? Our Pathophilis?"

Chapter 217 World Famous Painting: Kiana Against Entropy

Afterwards, while exchanging information with Sakura, she once again went to the deepest place.

With each sound, Mei was completely led by the nose, just like last time. Mei had no control at all. Moreover, being deeply influenced by the Riddler culture of Paradise, Mei still didn't know why she was being targeted.

When Mei woke up again, she returned to the place where she had talked with Sakura, who was looking at her with concern.

When Mei regained consciousness, her expression was grim. Faced with this situation, regardless of what secrets she held, Mei had to take the initiative and not let herself be led by the nose any longer!

[March 7]: "Enough already, these riddle-makers all over the land of paradise. Even Pinocchio is simpler than you."

[Silver Wolf]: "Now I understand why Qianjie wanted to communicate with his 'good friend' like this. With just one sentence, even Qianjie would have to obey."

[Fu Xuan]: "It seems that Aponia really has no ill intentions... but her values... seem even more twisted than Qian Jie's. Is this a side effect of being a fusion warrior?"

[Padofilis]: "No, no, no, Sister Nia was already like this when she was a nun at the orphanage on Twilight Street."

[Star]: "You guys are so heroic..."

"These complex and intense emotions are almost overflowing."

Mei was speechless, completely unwilling to continue the conversation with Airi. "So, what exactly is it...? Is that also Aponia's ability as a Fusion Warrior?"

"Ah, no. As I mentioned before, the Paradise of the Past is a space constructed from the memories of heroes. Thirteen flowing consciousnesses dispersed and converged, weaving together such a vast and magnificent world."

"But some people... their memories are so intense and vivid that they can exist independently without needing to be integrated with the cognition of others."

"And what you have seen is such an example; it was born solely from the memories of Aponia."

"That is why everything in this realm was created by Aponia, and its appearance is far removed from the true depths of history."

"Rather than saying that, it's more like... the deepest part of Paradise is more like Aponia."

[Black Swan]: "I see. The Paradise of the Past is a world of memories constructed by thirteen consciousnesses. The deepest part of the Paradise is the memory of Aponia, which is equivalent to being semi-independent of the Paradise."

[March 7th]: "Judging from Aponia's behavior, I bet she has some kind of unspeakable secret! Otherwise, how could her own memory world materialize into a special space!?"

[Star]: "That's right! Even Alicia, who might be a bad woman, doesn't have such a space!!"

[Möbius]: "Hmph, who said that doesn't exist?"

Kiana: "There really is one!?"

[Alicia]: "Kiana, do you also want to enter Alicia's heart? Sure! You and Mei can both come!"

【Star】: "A certain fairy has started to lure innocent girls to paradise again."

[Theresa]: "Why does this sound so... weird?"

Kiana: "Love! Lissia! I will never forgive you!"

[Star]: "The world-famous painting 'Kiana Against Entropy'!"

[Kosmo]: "As expected, you too..."

Eden: 'That's really... just like Ellie.'

[Blue Sparrow]: "It seems that Miss Mei's horn also has a nervous system."

[Fireworks]: "And it's very sensitive to things too~"
