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

March 2017, 3, Tianqiong City, suburbs.

Just like yesterday, Kiana started training in her dream with the help of Fu Hua.

Here, time will be stretched out. An hour of training in a dream may only take one minute in the real world. Although it is a dream, the muscle memory formed by repeated practice will significantly improve the trainer even after waking up from the dream.

And today, Kiana clearly felt that there was something different about Fu Hua in front of her.

"Monitor...what happened?"

Fu Hua lowered her head and looked at her body, which flickered from time to time as if the network was bad. After thinking for a moment, she came to a conclusion.

"Kiana, my current existence is to store my consciousness in a feather of Yu Duchen. The current situation... It should be that someone is using Yu Duchen to recycle the feather."

"The reason why each feather of Yu Du Chen can exist is essentially because of the continuous function of Yu Du Chen itself. As a device for storing consciousness, it consumes energy every moment of its existence. When the person holding Yu Du Chen wants to recycle the feather, he will definitely stop supplying energy to the feather. Therefore, the final result is... the memory or consciousness in the feather will completely disappear..."

Kiana's heart tightened:

"Then squad leader, you, aren't you..."

Fu Hua smiled calmly:

"Don't worry, Kiana. At least I won't disappear until you can completely suppress the Herrscher's consciousness. But... in order to ensure that I can help you at the critical moment, I will temporarily fall into a deep sleep in the next few days."

"Um...so...power saving mode?"

"That's not a problem. Kiana, your mastery of Taixu Sword Qi is not yet complete. Since I can't teach you personally, I suggest you go to Taixu Mountain. I lived there for a long time. Although my memory of it is not complete now, I vaguely remember that I should have left something there."

Kiana scratched her head:

"Taixu Mountain... I remember... it's in the east of Shenzhou. And Tianqiong City, where we are now, is in the southwest of Shenzhou. Although the Tianming headquarters is in chaos right now, if we walk from Tianqiong City to Taixu Mountain... I'm afraid we'll be discovered by Tianming before we even get there."

"So, you need help from others. Both Anti-Entropy and World Serpent have branches in major cities in Shenzhou. If you don't deliberately hide yourself, it should be easy to be noticed by them. The final choice is in your hands."

Kiana thought for a moment:

"Since there was such a big commotion in Sky Dome City before, Otto may have left spies there, so we can't go back there..."

"Alas, I am still so good at causing trouble for others..."

Kiana gave a wry smile and disappeared into the night.

March 3, Haiyuan City.

Tesla rushed into the room.

"Okay, I understand, Longma, thank you for your hard work. Please continue to observe and report to me if there is any new situation..."

In the room, Walter Yang had just finished the call when he saw Tesla with an excited expression.

"What's wrong Tesla?"

"Kiana has news, and she contacted us first. We should seize the opportunity immediately... By the way, judging from your expression, what Ryoma just told you should be very important."

Walter thought for a moment and looked at Tesla:

"It seems that we need to gather everyone again..."

Some time later, in the conference room of Haiyuan City, Einstein, Tesla, Walter Yang, Bronya, Seele, Cocolia and others gathered together again.

"Mr. Walter, is there any news about Sister Mei?"

Walter nodded slightly:

"Not only Mei, there is also news about Kiana. Don't get excited yet, let Aiyin sort out the news we have recently received one by one."

Einstein looked around and spoke slowly:

"Since we arrived in Haiyuan City, there are three most important pieces of news:

First, it was about Mei's whereabouts. After Bronya and Seele returned safely to the Eigenworld, we continued to observe the interior of the Quantum Sea. Then, we found the message left by Miss Enosia. Miss Mei is fine, but I don't know what conditions Miss Enosia put forward for her to join the World Snake. "

"The World Snake? However, if it's Enosia, even though I don't know what her purpose is, I don't have to worry about Mei's safety."

"Indeed, although Miss Enosia has always been unclear about her position, she is our friend, not our enemy. After all, the power of the Herrscher is too terrifying for Anti-Entropy, which uses mecha as its main combat force. If she wanted to be hostile to us, there is no need for her to go through such a big detour."

"Second, Dr. Tesla received information not long ago. Kiana took the initiative to establish contact with the Anti-Entropy Branch in Shenzhou, and she now needs our help. According to local personnel, Kiana did not specify her purpose out of caution."

"Even if it's stupid Kiana... after going through something like that, she'll change a lot..."

"Third, Thunder Ryoma has sent a message saying that he has confirmed where Reina is being held. We ask him to stay put for now."

Reina is a Judgment-level Honkai beast born from Raiden Mei in this timeline after the massive collapse of Changkong City in 2014. In the battle of destiny a few days ago, she faced Fu Hua, and then fell into hallucinations because of Yu Duchen. After waking up, she unfortunately met Youlan Dell again. After a fight, she was captured alive before Jizi could launch a full-strength attack on the Ice Herrscher.

After the Battle of Destiny, she was transferred by Otto. While Anti-Entropy went to Sky City to find Kiana's whereabouts, Thunder Ryoma has been in charge of investigating her whereabouts, and recently there was finally a result.

Bronya recalled the time she spent with Mei, Kiana, and Rena at St. Freya Academy. Although she didn't spend much time with Rena, and she knew that as a companion Honkai beast, Rena's attitude towards her depended entirely on the attitude between her and Mei, but at least she didn't hate her.

From a rational point of view, if Reina can be rescued, her combat power as a Judgment-level Honkai Beast will certainly be of great use. And if she remains in Otto's hands, Otto is very likely to take her as a hostage when necessary to achieve his ulterior motives.

"So, to sum up, we need to split up and discuss the personnel arrangements for each party."

After some discussion, Theresa and Bronya, who were more familiar with Kiana, took the Hyperion to pick up Kiana. Walter Yang, Tesla, Einstein and Raiden Ryuma met up, while Cocolia and her children stayed behind to guard the Abyss City.

Two hours later, after completing the inspection, Hyperion set sail from the airport in Haiyuan City and flew into the sky again...
