[Qingque]: "Actually, I'm more curious about 'everyone,' so..."

【Star】: "Pado's tail, Sakura's fox and donkey ears, etc., don't they have horns? Aren't there other special features?"

[Silver Wolf]: "On that day, all the heroes remembered the humiliation of being dominated by Alicia and having their tails, ears, and horns touched so roughly!"

[Beng Tie·Xier]: "You just let her touch you like that? Didn't you ever think about angrily rubbing her elf ears?"

[Alicia]: "Would you like to touch it? I'm a little embarrassed, but it's okay, alright?"

[March 7th]: 'Wait a minute, Kevin's covered in cold air, what's Alicia touching?'

[Herrscher of Knowledge]: "Oh, I remember Kevin has a demon form, which not only has horns but also wings."

Chapter 231 The Faded Monster

"Unlike Miss Mei, in our time, becoming means being an enemy of humanity and bringing unbearable suffering and scars to the world."

“But Ellie is not like that. She is not a threat to humanity. She is a warrior who fights for humanity, and the only one who gathers heroes.”

"He is also my irreplaceable friend."

"Ellie is just Ellie. In my eyes, she will always be a likable and admirable girl, nothing more."

"And it was more like... something she prepared for herself."

[March 7th]: "Wedding dress? That sounds so romantic."

[Star]: "No!!!"

【Raven】: "The difference between the Herrschers of the pre-civilization era and those of the present civilization is truly vast. No wonder they say Alicia is special."

[March 7]: "There is a feeling that they are just two similar creatures, even though they are both called Herrschers."

[Einstein]: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. There is indeed such a tendency in our comparison between the Herrscher Core of the Divine Key and the Herrscher Core of Welt."

[Bengtie Welt]: "In a sense, this statement is correct, as the distribution of imaginary singularities between the two types of Herrscher cores is not the same."

[Beng Tie - Welt]: "This is why the cores of the previous civilization could only be used as Divine Keys, while the cores of the current civilization can be passed down and used to artificially create Herrschers."

【Broken Iron - Void Treasury】: "Look, here's a sample to demonstrate this firsthand."

Is this how they're supposed to enter the scene?

After calming down, Mei asked Velvet about the Thirteenth Herrscher. Velvet didn't know either, or rather, the Great Magician Velvet didn't know, since people with split personalities like that are really rare.

After receiving the playing cards from Velvi, Mei bid farewell to Velvi.

Before she had taken more than a few steps, Mei heard a cat meowing. A cat was screaming for help!

"That voice is...Pato?"

Mei immediately followed the sound to Pado's vicinity, and then saw Pado stuck in a box in a very disheveled state.

Seeing Mei arrive was like seeing a savior for Pato. She hurriedly said, "Mei-Mei-neechan? No, Mei-boss! Quick, quick, come save me!!"

"Don't just stand there, Mei! You weren't this cold before! Aren't we partners who'd live and die together?!"

Mei looked utterly confused: "I just can't understand why someone would get stuck in a treasure chest..."

Pado retorted, "Isn't it an adventurer's duty to open a treasure chest they see? And isn't it only natural to crawl inside and carefully inspect it after opening it?"

[Star]: "Exactly! Isn't it the duty of an anonymous visitor to open a trash can whenever they see one? And isn't it their natural duty to crawl inside and thoroughly inspect it after opening it?"

[Silver Wolf]: "That's right, who can refuse a treasure chest in a game?"

[Star]: "No! The treasure chest is mine! The trash can is mine too!!"

[March 7th]: "That's enough! Since when did it become an obligation for anonymous people to rummage through trash cans?!"

[Star]: "From this moment on! I said it!"

[Danheng]: "Sigh..."

Theresa: "But... why are there treasure chests in Paradise?"

Alicia: "Isn't this design interesting?"

[Silver Wolf]: "If we're talking about a game, it's not perfect if there are no treasure chests."

[Qingque]: "This... Pado really loves money more than life itself."

[Star]: "The color of this Honkai Beast is weird. Aren't normal Honkai Beasts pink?"

[Black Swan]: "It was just a ripple in my memory, yet it was able to choose to run away. This is clearly a manifestation of self-awareness."

[Beng Tie·Walter]: "It seems that the performance is now very clear."

[Mébius]: "Heh, the Herrscher of Corruption, is it..."

[March 7th]: "Yingjie now knows the future, and I think the scientists inside should be prepared. I am now saddened by the encroachment of the future."

Chapter 232 Paradise Archives

In itself, if a detailed exploration could be undertaken, it would certainly be worth a try.

"Oh, then isn't that a win-win situation? Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for that kind of monster for Mei-nee too."

"So...it's settled then?"

In order to find more treasure chests in this place, Pado launched a thorough search, and the search was so detailed that even Mei was speechless.

Of course, to help Mei explore better, Paddo also taught Mei how to use Velvi's wonderful little gadgets.

Then, during the battle, Mei also learned how to use Velvet's cards.

[March 7th]: "I feel very happy whenever there is a storyline involving Pado."

[Star]: "This kind of dedication to finding treasure chests, leaving no stone unturned, is truly our role model!"

Bronya Rand: "...You've already rummaged through Belloberg's trash can more than once."

[Star]: "Bronya! You don't understand. Every time you rummage through the trash can, you find a surprise! And the trash in the trash can is different every time!"

[Silver Wolf]: "Alright, alright, stop with this smelly topic. Weren't we talking about treasure chests? How did we end up talking about trash cans?"

A witness. That night, we lost a mutual friend.

Aponia said, "Or perhaps, we are witnessing a new beginning."

Eden and Aponia talked a lot about Ellie's banquet and the changes Mei brought. They both hoped that Mei could uncover the secrets deep within Paradise and bring it back to light.

"Eden...do you have that with you?"

"Yeah, of course."

Eden reached out her hand, and a golden crystal flower quietly bloomed in her palm.

“I’ve always carried it with me. I think… we all should.”

"When everything is gathered together, and the crystal flower blooms again... Eden, will you sing that song one more time?"

Eden nodded with a smile: "Okay. That's my wish too. Then, let's invite everyone to listen together."

"Her favorite... song."

Kiana: "What are they talking about? Something about a banquet or keys?"

[Gallach]: "If it were that easy to understand, he wouldn't be called a riddle master. Just kidding."

[Star]: "This time, it's true that the riddle-makers have gotten used to it and can't communicate normally anymore."

[Silver Wolf]: "So, if Mei wants all the truth to come to light, then Mei can only slowly collect all the crystal flowers?"

[Theresa]: "Having a definite path is better than everyone being a riddle teller, right? By the way, do you know the Herald of Knowledge?"

[The Lawgiver of Knowledge]: "Huh? You're asking me that? You might as well ask Hua why he knows nothing!"

Isn't it a simple and easy-to-understand name?

“By simply reading the documents piled up next to the typewriter, clever Mei will surely understand immediately!”

Mei walked to the table, picked up a piece of paper, and the writing on it transformed from some unrecognizable symbols into the characters she knew best—

"Red Ice... I've read that file; it's about Kevin's past."

Mei understood what Airi meant and also knew what this thing was for.

"So...you brought me here. Is it because of the format you want our conversation to take?"

Ellie nodded, hands on her hips: "That's right. That's how you make things objective and fair, isn't it?"

"After all... the story I'm about to tell might be a bit long, and I hope that throughout the process, Mei will always arrive at an answer that she can accept."

Kevin: "…………"

Theresa: "This is Kevin's past... the Eleventh Herrscher..."

【Broken Iron - Void Treasury】: "The tragedy of the constraint, little Theresa, the Judas in your hands is the core of the constraint."

[March 7th]: "Huh? This is the archives of Paradise. Do you think there might be information about the Erosion in here? Didn't the Erosion come to Paradise?"

[Vilvie]: "This can indeed do such a thing."

[Fu Xuan]: "It seems that if Erosion does not want to face Ying Jie directly and wants to hide itself, this typewriter must be destroyed so that it can hide even deeper."

Chapter 233 Fairy Airi!

"Oh? That means you don't trust me at all."

"And...her appearance..."

Ellie proudly patted her chest and explained, "Isn't it cute? After all, it's modeled after me, with the same beauty and intelligence as me!"

“There were thirteen in total. They were originally intended to be given to all the heroes, but in the end only Eden and Aponia accepted them.”

"If Mei wants it, we still have plenty in stock!"

[Star]: "I want it! Give it to me now!!"

[Black Tower]: "You wanted my doll back then, and now you want this one. Do you really like dolls that much?"

[Star]: "There is a difference. Little Ellie is cuter than the Black Tower doll, hehehe."

Kiana: "But why did only Eden and Aponia accept such a cute doll? I feel like Paddo wouldn't refuse something like this, right?"

[Silver Wolf]: "Could it be that this doll is equipped with artificial intelligence? Having it is like having an Alicia by your side?"

[Padofelis]: "This...this...you'll find out as you keep watching, Kiana, good luck."

Kiana: "?"

"She's still in hibernation mode, isn't she?" Alicia said matter-of-factly.

"Wake word?"

The girl smiled sweetly and wrote something in the blank space of a file.

Mei took the paper.

Then, silence, hesitation, and gritted teeth.

Airi became even more excited at Mei's expression and whispered in Mei's ear, "Oh my, Mei's shy and embarrassed expression is so cute. Just so you know, there's only one way to activate it."

Can I not start her?

Mei tried her best to keep a straight face and asked.

"That's Mei's freedom, but... with the truth right in front of us, are we really going to let it slip away?"

Mei fell silent for a moment, as if making up her mind, then took a few deep breaths and said, "Darling—"

"Huh? What did you say?"

“My dearest—Alicia…”

After waiting a while with no response, Mei questioned Airi, who smiled and said, "Oh dear, what's wrong? I think... your voice was too soft, so it probably didn't hear you."

"We'll have to do it again this time!"

Mei's pretty face flushed red, whether from shyness or from the heat, she didn't know, but she still took a few deep breaths and said:

“My dearest Alicia!”
