……

If Mei hadn't mentioned it beforehand, players reading this might have been a bit confused.

But after Mei's previous "spoiler," the players immediately understood.

This must be what Mei said before—Alicia's decision to use her [power] to endow future Herrschers with [humanity].

This is clearly an extremely important event, but it's only mentioned explicitly here in the entire main storyline of Paradise.

After filling in this gap in her memory, Mei began to try to use her own memories to help Alicia make up for that small regret.

She couldn't recreate the full picture of all the heroes, but she was able to recreate the words that the heroes in her mind would say to Alicia.

Twelve stars lit up in the void.

Immediately afterwards, the voices of all the heroes appeared one after another.

……

Finally, it was Mei's turn.

"【Herrscher of Origin】...What a fitting name for you!"

"It is both the origin of yesterday and the origin of tomorrow."

"You really created it, didn't you? A paradise named after you, Alicia's paradise..."

"Look, it's right here."

"A pristine and eternal paradise"

"An era belonging to humanity"

"If there is anything that can crown [humanity]..."

"Then, only humanity itself..."

So come back...and take one last look at this world that was created because of you.

"This is a story you started, and this is the stage I'm presenting to you."

"Just like before, answer my call once more..."

"...Alicia"

……

Twelve stars shone brightly, breaking through the darkness and crossing the gate sculpted from memory.

When the world lit up again, Mei finally saw... the figure she had been longing for.

She was there, just like the first time we met.

"Oh dear~ In the end... you still found it~"

"I've been waiting for so long!"

What followed was Alicia's signature, lively laughter.

Even if we meet again... let's still say hello properly~

"Hi~"

"do you miss me?"

It was the same familiar and special way she made her entrance, and she still had that lovely and flawless face.

This time, she's really back.

Amid cheers from the comments, the game returned to the level selection screen.

The shattered frames of Yingjie's portrait suddenly came together, eventually coalescing into a photograph of the [Herrscher of Humanity].

Chapter 381 The Last Date...

You play as Mei and enter the [Paradise of the Past] for the first time.

The first thing you see is that cute girl with pink hair.

She takes the initiative to show her affection for you.

She'll tease you from time to time, but she'll also occasionally show her gentle side and care for you.

Sometimes... she'll feign distress to seek your comfort...

At this point, in the eyes of many rational players, she was hypocritical.

Players are wary of her, and even resent her boundless way of interacting with them.

As the story progresses, players encounter one hero after another, each with their own differing opinions about her.

Eden praised her; the serpent hated her...

They even called her a "traitor."

At this point, the players became more wary of her, but also more curious.

After that, she would contact you every now and then to try and win your favor.

Perhaps you've grown accustomed to her boundless way of interacting with you, or perhaps her smile is simply too flawless, or maybe... it's because she saved your life from Möbius...

—She successfully gained a lot of goodwill towards you.

But once you calm down, you become even more wary of her and start to wonder if she has some bigger motive.

Until one day, she suddenly died...

You're starting to feel a little uncomfortable, and a sense of guilt arises in your heart for your past suspicions.

"Could she have some hidden reason?"

"Could it be that she really... just likes Mei?"

You begin your investigation, following the clues and peeling back the layers of the truth...

Peel back the first layer—and you'll find her pure and flawless.

Peel back the second layer—and she remains pure and flawless.

Peel back the third layer—and she is still pure and flawless.

"..."

You realize... from beginning to end, what he showed you was her "true self," she was truly completely open with you...

Only then do you suddenly realize that the snake was just being stubborn.

You discover... even Kevin sheds tears for her.

You discover that the heroes' sacrifice was simply to bring her back!

You also discovered... that the reason you, as a Herrscher, were able to regain your humanity was because of her...

Her initiative in approaching me; her cheers and laughter; her beaming smiles were all because—

You are the gift she has always longed for, yet dared not even dare to hope for...

She didn't have any ulterior motives towards you; she just knew that her efforts hadn't been in vain.

You remained silent.

She gave her heart, so how could this be the outcome?

Your suspicions and vigilance turned into your guilt and regret.

When a person dies, the lights go out; this is a regret you can never make up for.

This feeling has been suppressed deep inside you, with nowhere to be vented.

Until you saw her again...

Her smile still possessed a heartwarming quality, just like the first time we met.

Even clad in the [Herrscher of Man] armor, she remained as pure and beautiful as ever.

…………

The players' emotions completely erupted at this moment.

The death of a person does not mean the end of a lamp.

The regrets and guilt felt by the players... seem to have been made up for.

Although the players were just spectators.

But they really hoped that Mei could convey her feelings to Alicia.

This sentiment isn't about love, but rather...

"Mei, this time you must truly love her."

"At the very least, I must express my longing for him!"

This is what players most desire.

Although they knew Alicia wouldn't care about these things, they really didn't want to see Alicia disappointed and sad.
