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

On April 2017, 4, Hyperion sailed smoothly in the sky of China.

"Um...what? Okay, okay, I get it."

In Hyperion's command room, Theresa cut off the communication and the expression on her face changed rapidly.

"Principal, what happened?"

Bronya and Kiana looked at each other, and then looked at Theresa. In their impression, the principal of St. Freya Academy rarely showed such an expression.

Just yesterday, Kiana boarded the Hyperion again. Although it was less than two weeks since their last meeting, Theresa and Bronya clearly felt that Kiana had changed, and it was a change beyond their expectations.

Theresa, in particular, rehearsed many scenarios in her mind before meeting Kiana:

Kiana would take the initiative to seek help from Anti-Entropy, perhaps because she had gone through such a big blow and her mental state was already very worrying, but in the end she did not do anything stupid and chose to use them as the last straw;

Although Kiana appears to be as optimistic and cheerful as before, she actually keeps her negative emotions bottled up inside, and even if they ask her about it, she will evade the question;

Because Mei went to the World Snake, Kiana blamed herself and thought it was her fault.

However, after Theresa carefully relayed what had happened in the past few days to Kiana, none of the above situations happened.

It would be a mistake to say that Kiana had no emotions at all about Jizi's departure. On the contrary, she still blamed herself for it. However, she did not keep such emotions in her heart, but took the initiative to share them with them.

As for Mei's trip to the World Snake, Kiana was even less likely to not care, but the expression on her face told Theresa that she had already expected this.

Now, Theresa couldn't be bothered anymore. Instead, she needed to ask Kiana what had happened in the past few days.

"Because of two people, the squad leader and Inoxia. Inoxia told me that I was not born a disaster. On the contrary, I was born because the world needed me to save it. Aunt, how I was born, how my father took me away in 2006, and why I have the consciousness of a Herrscher in my body, Ino has explained it very clearly from beginning to end, so you don't need to worry about me having any dangerous thoughts after I know that I am a clone and I inherited someone else's name."

"And the squad leader, tell me what I should do specifically so that I can avoid becoming a disaster to others and become a hero who saves others. Now, the squad leader is in a big trouble, and I need your help."

Theresa didn't know the whole story of Kiana's life. From the moment she entered St. Freya's Academy, she only knew that she was a clone of the real Kiana. She was in the Far East and not at the headquarters when Siegfried defected in 2006, so she only saw the tip of the iceberg about the K series clones.

"Wait, Kiana, you mean... it was Enosia who used the zeroth rated power of the Corrosion Key to [create] a new soul for the body out of thin air?"

Kiana shook her head:

"Not entirely. According to her, she didn't have such a great ability. Rather than [creating] me, she injected Xilin's soul into the clone body, bringing the originally [deactivated] soul in that body back to life, thus facilitating my birth."

Theresa's surprised expression did not diminish at all:

"Isn't that still a miracle? Although Enosia repeatedly emphasized her limited abilities when she talked to you. But even with all kinds of limitations, it's still a bit too outrageous... Among all the Herrschers, Destiny's understanding of the Corrosion Herrscher is basically the least. Fortunately, she is not our enemy..."

When Kiana said that she hoped Hyperion could take her to Mount Taixu, Theresa fell into deep thought:

"According to Fu Hua, she and Grandpa have known each other for 500 years, and Grandpa knows her very well. Therefore, it is very likely that she expected you to go to Taixu Mountain. We must be prepared."

Then, back on April 4, Theresa received news that surprised her.

"Earlier, there was news that Tianming's troops in Tianqiong City and Haiyuan City suddenly retreated. Tianming's headquarters was attacked and suffered heavy losses. Grandpa himself... is missing..."

"That Bishop Otto...is his life or death unknown?"

"Well, currently, Destiny has been fully taken over by Youlan Dell. Even during the previous Destiny War, there was not such chaos. At that time...something serious must have happened."

"It's unbelievable, Bronya thinks this is more like a conspiracy."

"...After all, he won't fall so easily. Compared to the Bishop of Heaven's Fate in front of the stage, Otto hiding behind the scenes must be more terrifying."

"Who is the murderer? Any idea?"

Theresa shook her head.

"Even now, there is still too much information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Some say it was done by the World Serpent, but the more likely possibility is that they were attacked by the Herrscher... Our destination is almost here, and all we can do is be more cautious."

The Hyperion's altitude gradually decreased, and Kiana and Bronya came onto the deck.

"Kiana, is there really something left by the squad leader here?"

"There must be. The squad leader told me that she lived here for a long time. Her home, her sect, and her secret treasures, including the Grand Void Sword Qi that allows you and me to control the energy of the Herrscher and prevent it from going out of control, must also be there."

Soon, Hyperion arrived at the designated location, and the two used a small aircraft to land smoothly. Looking at the clouds and mist in the distance, the environment was like a fairyland, and the two were immediately deeply attracted by such a beautiful scenery.

As the two stopped to admire, Theresa's anxious voice rang out:

"Kiana, Bronya, be careful. Just now, Hyperion detected a small spaceship of Destiny nearby, and the people inside are moving in your direction!"

The two men immediately prepared for battle, and not long after, a figure appeared in front of them.

"You guys are here as expected. The bishop's prediction was absolutely correct."

She raised her head and looked at Hyperion, who was looming in the mist.

"Lady Theresa, long time no see."
