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

...In the winter of 2016, three days after the fourth collapse, in the medical room of St. Freya Academy.

"Kiana, open your eyes..."

In a hazy state, Kiana entered the dream again, with the same familiar mist and voice.

"Aunt Jizi... Honkai Beast..."

"Relax, since you can come here, it means you are safe now. If you want to save others, you must at least be able to protect yourself. I can make you stronger..."

"Well... it seems the time has not come yet... It doesn't matter. 16 years is just a blink of an eye in the life of an immortal. My chance will come..."

Kiana fell into a deep sleep again, but soon, a clear voice rang in her ears.

"This voice is Mei..."

This time, Kiana really returned to reality.

Opening her eyes, she saw the strange yet familiar ceiling and white sheets. Kiana roughly guessed that she should be in the medical room.

"Ms. Kiana, it's great that you're awake!"

Kiana turned her head and saw Reina sitting on the bed, holding her hand excitedly.

"That's right, now she's the only one who calls me that... Reina, where's Mei..."

"The Queen just left. She was in the mood to eat only after she learned that you were completely out of danger. She hasn't come back yet, so let me take care of you for the time being. If she knew that the first thing you did when you woke up was to ask about her situation, she would definitely be very happy!"

Kiana asked Reina for some basic information and learned that among the 9 Valkyries who went to New Zealand to carry out the mission, only she and Himeko survived, and few of the remaining 7 even had an intact body.

Just as Kiana was observing a moment of silence for her comrades, the door opened and the person who came in was none other than Himeko Muryata, dressed in tight clothes.

"Jizi...Teacher, are you okay?"

Jizi showed a confident smile:

"If I sleep for three days and three nights like you, how can I set an example in front of you little brats in the class? Now that you're awake, I'm relieved. Have a good rest. Commander, remember to find Fu Hua or someone else to make up for the missed classes."

When Kiana heard about the make-up classes, she surprisingly didn't feel panic. Perhaps it was because she saw that Ji Zi was safe and sound and full of energy, and the joy in her heart overshadowed her panic.

After Jizi left Kiana's ward, she came to the principal's office. Theresa put her hands on her hips and looked at her angrily.

"Theresa, what happened? Kiana woke up, why didn't you go see her?"

"Of course I have to go to Kiana's place. Since she's awake, it means she's fine. But you, Jizi!"

Ji Zi spread her hands.

"What's wrong with me? I'm standing here fine."

Theresa said nothing more and handed over a report.

"Review report of Himeko Muryota"

[Name: Wuliangta Himeko

Gender: Female

Age: 29

Birthplace: Far East

Patient's condition:

1. The patient had a large tear from the neck to the chest, and the wound was corrupted and atrophied by the poison. Severe blood loss caused acute shock. The clavicle was fractured.

2. In order to improve their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, the patient took the S-130 reagent, which was still under research, and fought for a long time, which led to blood circulation disorders, massive internal bleeding, and damage to liver function, kidney function, lymphatic and immune systems.

3. When the patient is discovered, his pupils are dilated and his body temperature is low.

Patient's current condition:

Although the patient is currently performing well, she has repeatedly used equipment that is still under development or taken experimental drugs, and has repeatedly fought under excessive load for long periods of time. In addition, the patient received artificial stigmata at the age of 19, and the backlash in all aspects far exceeds that of other Valkyries.

Therefore, the medical department had to conclude with regret that the patient had less than a year left to live. During this year, the patient's five senses would gradually degenerate.

Medical advice:

1. Patients should pay attention to healthy diet, avoid smoking and drinking, and enjoy a healthy life.

……

“My goodness, what’s the difference between these and hospice care… Theresa, don’t look at me like that. I knew before I received the artificial stigmata that there has not been a single Valkyrie who has received artificial stigmata at my age and lived to be over 30 years old. I am already very satisfied that I can fight until now.”

"If I have any regrets, it's probably that I won't be able to see what these little brats look like when they grow up... Anyway, I will continue to fight until I can't walk anymore."

"Oh, by the way, don't tell Kiana and the others about my situation for now... They still need time to grow..."

Spring 2017, Destiny Headquarters.

"The first experiment of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle was very successful, and we obtained ideal experimental data!"

Listening to the researcher's passionate report, Otto's brows gradually relaxed. This was probably the best good news since the Fourth Collapse.

At this time, the office door opened.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, the Far East Branch's A-rank Valkyrie Joseph Melide is reporting in. The exploration of the ruins is ready to be completed."

Otto looked at this innocent-looking girl. Although this was the first time he and this Valkyrie were face to face, his 500-year-old intuition told him that she was definitely not simple. Her green eyes seemed to hide many unknown secrets.

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Otto's expression softened a bit:

"If you have anything else to say, just say it."

Melide looked at Amber beside her with some embarrassment, her meaning was very clear.

"Amber, you go out first."

"Lord Otto, this..."

She knew that Otto had exchanged the Void Bank for the Senkai Ichijo. Seeing the defenseless Otto alone in a room with a seemingly weak person who was actually an A-level Valkyrie, Kohaku was still worried.

For a moment, she even suspected that Melide was a spy sent by Anti-Entropy or World Serpent. But this was obviously impossible, after all, before she joined the Fate of Heaven, she had no contact with these two organizations.

After weighing the pros and cons, Amber decided to withdraw.

Melide bowed slightly to Otto:

"Your Excellency, I want to make progress so badly."
