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

As Hua, Su and Qianjie got closer and closer, the Fire Moth finally made progress in its research on the Eleventh Ruler.

Almost all the troops who tried to destroy the 11th Brigade were killed, and even their machines failed. But their sacrifice was not in vain, and Mei and others speculated its approximate capabilities.

An explosion occurred in the laboratory in the east of the Fire Moth Base, proving that the Eleventh Ruler is moving and part of the base has been covered.

Coincidentally, the person in the lab at that time was Velvet, who was testing her own imitation of the Blank Key in the base. When Mobius arrived, she saw a ruin of steel.

Invalid weapons and armor were discarded like broken toys, obliterating the original color of the earth. Mobius held the downed Klein in his arms and walked through the ruins with an expressionless face.

Suddenly, she stopped and her eyes fell on a piece of mechanical wreckage in the corner. It was a damaged suit of armor that was still emitting weak Houkai energy.

"A replica of the [Blank Key]... It looks like there's another old acquaintance of ours nearby."

She hesitated for a few seconds, then decided to pretend nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

Less than 500 meters ahead, she found a second familiar weapon thrown carelessly on the ground. Guns, vehicles, and broken defense robots. The machinery left on this road could almost form an arsenal. The only problem was that all the machinery was damaged. They lay across the road in a horrible manner, covered in mud, showing what their owners had experienced.

"What a disgrace... I wonder if anyone is still alive?" Finally, after walking along the mechanical wreckage for nearly a kilometer, Mebius found the unconscious Vivi next to a pit that was almost in ruins.

She looked no better than the machines that were randomly abandoned on the roadside, with scars of all sizes all over her body. Her arm was probably broken, bent at an incredible angle. The only good news was that she was still breathing faintly.

This was the first time that Mebius had seen Velvet like this since they met. In the past, the Fire Moth had used various methods on her, and during the previous collapses, she had managed to survive each time without any danger.

“How embarrassing…”

Mebius shook his head and murmured to the unconscious Velvet:

"You mistake the power of technology for your own power. How is this different from the guys hiding behind the Fire Moth? If you put everything on something other than yourself, once you lose control of it, you will be quickly bitten back." "Greedy people... Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Mebius stared coldly at Velvet, who was curled up on the ground. After a long silence, he finally sighed.

She gently held Klein in her arms so that she could free up one hand. Then, she grabbed one of Vivi's feet. "Just drag her back. At worst, we can replace the scrapped parts with prosthetic limbs... Even if she is unconscious and dying, she will still cause trouble for others."

Perhaps the jolt during the dragging woke up the unconscious girl, and Mebius heard a low moan from behind.

“Let…me go…”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you planning to crawl all the way back?" Mebius turned around nonchalantly and immediately stopped. Behind her, Vivi, who was lying on the ground, was staring at her as if she were a stranger.

“Um…who are you…?”

Mebius frowned, but did not stop dragging his feet.

"Tell me after you figure it out, which Weierwei are you now?"

After an unknown amount of silence, her voice came from behind Mebius again:

"So... is that so? I never thought that I would wake up in this way... after all the other Vivi are asleep."

After pausing for a few seconds, Mebius showed a relieved expression and dragged Velvet all the way to a safe area.

At the same time, Hua and Su were behind Qianjie and decided to keep a certain distance from him. After all, he was visibly abnormal now, and the aura he exuded was not like that of a human being, but rather like that of an extremely ferocious beast.

The previous failed negotiation experience had improved the two's ability to communicate with Qianjie. They knew clearly that the most important thing to do at this moment was to follow him and not do anything unnecessary.

Under Qianjie's feet, footprints and burn marks, along with his anger, extended across the steel ground.

Suddenly, he fell to the ground as if everything in his body was drained away.

"Is this... the limit of the Herrscher's influence?"

Hua took a few steps back unconsciously. The distance of about a hundred meters between her and Qianjie seemed like a boundary between life and death...
