Honkai Impact 3rd, welcome to the Q&A space.

The lights of the empty amusement park were still on. The facilities were operating as usual, with only two girls standing opposite each other, looking intimate.

But the hostile look from one of them created an invisible barrier between the two.

Mei Raiden was facing a beautiful girl who looked exactly like Alicia. There was no difference in appearance except for the color, but she was already furious. "Who... are you?"

[Aliceia (Elysian Land)] "That Eden, look at See'er, it must be nice to have another self~"

[Eden (Paradise)] "Yes, it is true."

[Aliceia (Elysian Land)] "Look at the sisters Rosalia and Lilia again. They have a twin and a brother and sister. Don't you think so, my dear Eden?"

[Eden (Paradise)] "Of course."

(The Herrscher of the Future enters the Paradise of the Past - Ellie looks at the Little Eclipse: Oh, it's not bad to have another side that is very similar to me~)

(erosion:???)

(Erosion senses something is wrong and runs away)

(Aili: Don't hide~?)

(Erosion: Then don’t chase!)

(Aili: Come on~? I'll be gentle~?)

(Erosion: Don't come over here!)

The Herrscher of Corrosion imitated Alicia's tone and said, "Ah, have you forgotten me just because we haven't seen each other for a while? Mei is so heartless. I'm so sad."

Mei was so angry that she almost died, "Stop pretending. We all know that you are not her."

Herrscher of Corrosion: "Well... well, if you are so unromantic, there is no need for me to continue my performance."

"Oh my, I never thought that my friend would outwit me... I trust Vivi so much."

Mei: "Trust? I'm afraid that's not the case."

Herrscher of Corrosion "Don't say that, my dear Mei... I saw it in their memories. Is that right?"

At this moment, Mei really wanted to draw her sword and kill the other person.

The Herrscher of Corrosion also noticed the other party's mood. "Well, why are you angry? It's strange. I'm using your familiar appearance and calling you by your favorite name, but why are you not happy at all?"

"I always feel like... you seem to hate me? I really don't know what Wei Wei said to you - it doesn't matter, I will read her data carefully when I have time later."

【Walter Young】“This reminds me of someone.”

[Brownie] "Erosion: You lost Ellie, but you still have me. I can be whatever you want me to be, right?"

[Herrscher of Knowledge] "No, you are sick!"

[Kiana] "Why don't you like it? Do you need a reason? She eroded and deleted Alicia and Velvet!"

[Paimon] "Damn it! He killed someone else's best friend, but said he could replace her. What's the difference between him and Otto?!"

[Captain] "The Herrscher of Corrosion can be said to be dancing like crazy in the minefield of Raiden Mei at the moment."

The Herrscher of Corrosion continued, "But before that, I still want to make it clear that I have no ill will towards you. To show my sincerity, I'd better reintroduce myself."

"As for me... I am a Herrscher who was born between life and death. I live on information and data, and exist by relying on a certain physical medium."

"To use a term you are more familiar with - [Herrscher of Corrosion], that is my name.?"

“…Although I always feel that this name is a bit too rough.”

Mei Raiden frowned, "Why do you want to become Alicia?"

Herrscher of Corrosion "Oh, is this what Mei cares about? The reason is very simple. In addition to wanting Mei to feel more intimate, of course it is also because... Don't you think that I am particularly cute with this appearance?"

[Aliceia (Elysian Land)] "Mmm! She's really cute~ I can't wait to meet her."

[Kiana] "Is she like this naturally, or is she pretending? Now it sounds like she has a bit of Alicia in her voice."

[Raiden Mei] "But the other person is not Alicia. No matter how much she pretends to be Alicia, she can never be Alicia."

[Himeko] "I feel the same as the Herrscher of Knowledge. At the beginning, I wanted to become [another self]."

Seeing that Mei's eyes were not right, the Herrscher of Corrosion defended herself, "Ah... Mei, please don't look at me like that, okay? I'm sincere. Just because I'm the Herrscher of Corrosion, do I not even have the right to choose my appearance?"

Mei Raiden: "It's really surprising that you would say that."

The Herrscher of Corrosion pointed to his cheek and said, "Who asked me to take over [her] data?"

"You should know better than me that no one in this world cherishes this unique and beautiful appearance more than her - that is, me now."

Mei Raiden felt that something was wrong with the Herrscher of Corrosion's words. She said... taking over Alicia's data? Velvet had clearly told her that Alicia had been "deleted"...

Why would the Ruler of Corrosion tell such a meaningless lie?

The Herrscher of Corrosion told Mei Raiden, "While accepting external data, I will continue to grow."

“Because I have life, I learn to fear death; because I have a body, I learn to pursue beauty…because I have nothing, I want to cherish everything.”

"I was born from nothingness, and I am slowly understanding the meaning of [living]. If you simply imagine me as an enemy of mankind, that would be a misunderstanding, right?"

Mei Raiden was obviously very dissatisfied with the Herrscher of Corrosion's words. "Misunderstanding?"

[Captain] "I think that next time I meet this Herrscher of Corrosion, I will probably have to beat it up first and then educate it, otherwise I will feel unbalanced."

[Raiden Mei] "Plus one."

[Kiana] "If Mei can't beat him right now, I'll beat the shit out of him."

[Theresa] "It's a pity that the nutrients in the paradise have allowed the Herrscher of Corrosion to grow to such a terrifying level."

Screen continues

Herrscher of Erosion "Yes... I did invade the paradise. This is the truth. After all, the foundation of my existence is constant [Erosion]."

"But you have to know, Mei, I have never thought of murdering anyone, even if they are just memories made up of data."

"And so it is. You see, nothing in the Promised Land has disappeared."

"Although they don't exist in the form you are familiar with, they are right beside us now. Right here..." The Herrscher of Corrosion pointed to his forehead. "Here."
