Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

On August 2008, 8, under the night sky of Siberia, a small wooden house covered with snow blended into the night.

In the dark room, the white-haired girl sat next to a stuffed toy, hugging the yellow Hoom doll tightly.

In this remote place, the doll was her only friend. Before she was completely enveloped by loneliness, she fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, the warm light from the fireplace cast a shadow on her cold face.

Above her head, an extremely rough and broad hand kept gently stroking her white hair.

"Ah, Dad is back."

The girl's eyes fell on Siegfried's chest. Under the single garment was a newly changed bandage. Through the bandage, the white-haired girl could vaguely see that her father Siegfried was changing the bloodstained bandage in front of the fireplace. Fresh bloodstains and scabbed scars appeared on his chest.

"Dad, are you hurt again?"

Kiana knew that Siegfried's wounds came from a monster called Honkai Beast. She didn't understand why Siegfried had been fighting these monsters almost every day when he went out to look for food for more than two years, as if they were endless.

"It's okay. Dad is the most powerful warrior in the Kaslana family."

Siegfried's voice was very gentle, but his eyes were empty. Kiana only took a glance and curled up tighter.

After a brief silence, she made up her mind:

"Dad, I will fight with you tomorrow, because... because Dad once said that protecting others is the duty of the Kaslana family. I... I am also a member of the Kaslana family, and I have to protect Dad too."

Siegfried shuddered, and his lifeless eyes were suddenly filled with heat.

"Yes... yes... that's right... you are also Kaslana... Kiana is of course... of course Kaslana is also..."

"dad?"

Siegfried's incoherent words obviously frightened Kiana, and she subconsciously stepped back a little.

Soon, Siegfried also realized that something was wrong with him and quickly returned to normal.

"But that would be dangerous."

Kiana's expression was very firm:

"It's okay, Dad. I'm not afraid. I have the gun fighting skills that Dad taught me. I will definitely be able to defeat those monsters like Dad did!"

Siegfried patted Kiana's shoulder excitedly:

"Okay, then sleep well now and recharge your energy. Tomorrow morning, go out with dad to find something to eat!"

The next morning, the father and daughter packed up and walked out of the wooden house. However, before they had walked a kilometer, dozens of Honkai beasts surrounded them and all rushed towards Siegfried.

"father!"

Kiana pulled out her pistol, recalled the moves Siegfried had taught her, and pulled the trigger.

However, due to lack of practical experience, the bullet missed the target and hit the air.

Negative emotions in Kiana's heart suddenly rose. Siegfried had just dealt with a batch of Honkai beasts when another batch rushed up. These low-level Honkai beasts could not do anything to Siegfried individually, but two fists were no match for four hands. Facing the Honkai beasts that came like a tide, he quickly fell into a slump.

"Damn it, why are there so many today? No, I must ensure Kiana's..."

After seeing that the Honkai beasts only attacked him and not Kiana, Siegfried showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. These Honkai beasts were clearly created because of her.

Since there was no instrument to detect Honkai energy, he didn't know how much Honkai energy was in Kiana's body, but she was able to maintain her consciousness and had no desire to destroy. So Siegfried judged that the Herrscher's consciousness had not awakened.

Siegfried's judgment was correct, but not entirely. Kiana met some of the characteristics of a Herrscher, and usually generated Honkai beasts at a very low frequency. But she had neither the desire to destroy nor the ability to use the power of a Herrscher, so her Herrscher consciousness was actually always in a state of awakening.

As negative emotions continued to accumulate in her heart, Kiana's degree of legalization continued to rise.

After thinking about this, Siegfried realized that it was a very wrong decision for him to bring her out.

"Kiana, Dad will take you back!"

Siegfried chopped down two Honkai beasts with one blow and tried to grab her hand. When the big hand was only a few centimeters away from the small hand, a Honkai beast suddenly accelerated and knocked Kiana away.

Obviously, in the eyes of Honkai Beast, Siegfried, who was killing people indiscriminately, wanted to do something bad to his master. Out of the instinct to protect him, it naturally chose to keep a distance between the two.

Seeing herself and Siegfried getting further and further away, Kiana's negative emotions continued to rise.

"Why does Dad have to fight Honkai Beast alone, while I can only watch him and I get further and further away, unable to do anything!"

(Password is correct, logging in to account...)

Just when her negative emotions exceeded a certain threshold, her originally blue eyes turned green, and the terrifying low temperature spread in all directions with her as the center, freezing Siegfried and hundreds of Honkai beasts into ice sculptures.

But just when Siegfried was unable to move and fell into despair, the situation changed again. Kiana's eye color changed from double green to one green and one red.

With a "thump" sound, she knelt on the ground, and the power of the Herrscher of Ice seemed to be suppressed by something.

Just then, a portal appeared around her, and Enosia rushed out of the portal, quickly projecting her consciousness onto her body.

"It's just a lingering desire of the defeated enemy. Get lost!"

Soon, Kiana's Herrscher reaction gradually disappeared, and Enosia withdrew her control. She fell on the snowy field, and her eye color returned to normal.

Although Celine didn't like Siegfried very much, she still rescued him for Cecilia's sake.

After confirming that there were no other enemies, Sirin flashed to Kiana's side, looked at her condition, and immediately frowned.

"Siegfried... He let a 10-year-old girl with no combat experience go with him in a place full of snow and ice and Honkai beasts. Does he really regard Kiana as his own daughter?"

At this moment, Siegfried, who was confused, hadn't reacted yet, and Enosia slapped his forehead with her hand, deleting all the memories of their visit, and then gave Xilin a look.

She knew that Siegfried must be a selfless good man, but as a good father who takes care of his daughter... he was obviously not that qualified. Cecilia knew clearly that compared to Kiana, he was the one who needed to be taken care of more.

Silin reluctantly put Kiana down and left Siberia with Enosiya.

Soon, Siegfried woke up. Looking at the hundreds of Honkai beast ice sculptures and Kiana who collapsed on the ground, he realized that the power of the Herrscher of Ice had fully awakened for the first time.

He went forward to check and found that Kiana had just fainted. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, carefully picked her up and brought her back to the cabin.
