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

Although it was the first time that Ji Zi encountered Heimdall, her Valkyrie intuition told her that this thing was very dangerous.

"Run, I'll hold it back!"

Jizi shouted loudly, then jumped up, using all her strength to swing the sword and cut its body, knocking it back dozens of meters, and Jizi herself was also sent flying due to the reaction force.

Tesla quickly fled the battlefield. As soon as Heimdall locked onto Tesla, he was chopped away by Himeko again.

"Big guy, your opponent is me!"

Ji Zi kept swinging the greatsword in her hand, and the blue blade of light hit Heimdall's body, suppressing him in the corner for a moment.

However, this situation could not be maintained for a long time. Although Jizi's weapon was powerful and had a knockback effect, it consumed a lot of physical strength every time it was swung. In addition, Jizi was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. After 3 minutes, her frequency slowed down significantly. At this time, sweat had soaked her Valkyrie combat uniform.

"Ha ha……"

Jizi was breathing heavily, and a feeling of exhaustion spread throughout her body. At this moment, Heimdall, who had been suppressed, launched a counterattack.

It hovered only a few centimeters above the ground, opened its arms, and opened the strong magnetic restricted area. Several translucent cuboids immediately appeared in the space.

"What kind of trick is this?"

Ji Zi, who didn't know what was going on, was hit as expected and was trapped in the spot, unable to move.

After the cuboid disappeared, Heimdall pulled out a white sword that was almost as tall as it was and looked towards Himeko.

"Tsk, do you think you can defeat me by making me unable to move?"

Jizi aimed at Heimdall's attack and slashed at the middle and lower part of the white sword. Because she had been fighting with the sword for a long time, Jizi knew exactly what posture to attack and where to exert force. After discovering that the mecha in front of her exerted force in the same way as humans, Jizi immediately thought of a strategy.

Ji Zi's attack deviated from the direction of Heimdall's attack, and she used a small force to defeat a large force, neutralizing the original attack of the currency.

Seeing Heimdall passing by her, Jizi relaxed a little and flew out. It turned out that while Heimdall was rushing towards Jizi, he also released two tracking missiles.

After Jizi was blown away by the missile, she just used the greatsword to support her body. Heimdall slashed Jizi into the air with an upward thrust. Then, above her shoulders, four wing-like things came together and a yellow beam of light shot out. Fortunately, Jizi blocked it in time and was not pierced by the beam of light.

After landing, Ji Zi immediately launched a counterattack and looked towards what she believed to be Heimdall's core area.

“Crack, clang~”

Ji Zi's sword broke into two pieces, and she fell to the ground, rolling for more than ten meters before stopping.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Ji Zi realized that even if the sword was not broken, she no longer had the strength to swing it.

Good news: Himeko's full-strength attack did hit the core, and Heimdall was severely damaged.

Bad news: The BOSS was cut into the second stage.

After a few seconds, Heimdall entered overdrive mode, and his originally white body turned redder than a cooked lobster.

At this moment, a strange electric sound was heard, and the red-colored Heimdall seemed to be poured with a bucket of ice water. He turned back to white and stopped in place.

"I disrupted its AI. Now is the time to run!"

When Tesla's voice came, Ji Zi immediately got up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and ran out of Heimdall's search range with the broken sword.

"Huh...Huh...Finally got rid of them. What on earth are these guys from Tianming researching?"

Tesla ran to the platform in front panting, turned around, and saw Ji Zi covered in bruises.

"I told you to stop messing around. Take a rest first."

Ji Zi shook her head slightly:

"It's just a minor injury. We need to leave this watchtower and should take the elevator in front. There's no need to move or fight in the elevator, so just take a rest."

The elevator started, and Ji Zi took back the broken sword:

"Fu Hua said that there is something in that laboratory that can save us. I think it should be a means to fight against the Herrscher. I don't think that Tianming would awaken the Herrscher without any preparation. They must have considered the countermeasures after the mission failed. Maybe the answer is there."

Tesla nodded:

"That bastard Otto has more tricks than the rest of the people in the entire Skyrim put together. It's definitely not his style to awaken the Herrscher on a whim."

"But, can you... still walk?"

"You must be joking, I'm fine!"

Tesla was surprised to see that Ji Zi was still ruddy after resting despite being covered in wounds.

"This isn't the first time I've dealt with a rank-A Valkyrie from Heaven's Will. Why are you so good at fighting?"

Ji Zi sneered:

"Don't underestimate a Valkyrie who came from the Stormtroopers... It seems you don't know. The Stormtroopers were an organization I led before. In the third Honkai, except for me who was unable to participate for some reason, the entire army was wiped out, so it was disbanded. Death squads, special forces, experimental subjects, and even emperor-level Honkai beasts... We have encountered these enemies before."

"The enemies are getting stronger and stronger. They all want to kill me, but I am still alive today... This time will be the same as before. There will always be a way to solve it."

"…What an unconvincing consolation…"

The elevator stopped and the laboratory was within reach.

"Then before you go in, let's sort out your thoughts from the beginning."

"First, we have to break in and turn it upside down to find out our secrets. Then, we have to take the stuff and leave... Oh, by the way, according to the time, Hyperion should be here. We will take the stuff out and go back to Hyperion. Finally, we have to beat the Herrscher to pieces!"

Following Tesla's spirited speech, the two entered the laboratory.

What caught their eyes were industrial instruments scattered throughout the entire floor. It was more like a factory than a laboratory. Unlike the previous sentry tower, there was no guard here, and there was a weird atmosphere from inside to outside.

"Humph, a place like this is full of secrets. We have come to the right place!"

This place is not big, but there are many things hidden here. The two of them searched hard before they successfully found the main control system of the laboratory. While Tesla was researching, Ji Zi, who felt tired, found a corner to sit down again. Although there was no battle, it found that its physical strength had declined sharply.

"Ah, you are really covered with wounds..."

A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Ji Zi turned her head and saw Fu Hua, who was here as promised.
