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

June 2017. Deep in the Pacific Ocean, at Enosia's home.

"Ah~~"

Xilin stretched lazily on the sofa, then changed her position and rested her head on Bella, revealing a somewhat irritated expression:

"It's been two months since a new Herrscher appeared. I want to fight but can't find anyone to fight with. I want to rest but can't completely relax. I have to maintain the most basic vigilance at all times. This feeling is too uncomfortable."

"Only Herrschers like us would have such an idea. Both Destiny Against Entropy and governments are trying to make up for past injuries and discuss countermeasures before the next Herrscher appears."

"Being able to lie down as long as you want and do whatever you want every day, just keeping a certain level of caution is undoubtedly a luxury in a world where collapse is coming."

"You, don't be so ungrateful for what you have."

Enosiya winked, and Xilin sat up from the sofa. Bella immediately stood up and walked to the kitchen. Enosiya sat down next to Xilin, hooked her shoulder with her right hand, and slightly exerted force to make Xilin lean against her body.

"Ah, I understand the reason, but... it's just that you know, in this situation, I always feel uncomfortable... Oh, by the way, you just mentioned destiny and anti-entropy, where is the world snake?"

Bella returned to the living room holding half a watermelon.

"Of course the World Serpent is not idle either. Mistlin and Kevin are planning the Stigmata Plan. The Jackal is acting as a false target to attract the attention of Destiny and Anti-Entropy. Raven and Mei are working together to rescue Reina."

Bella picked up the spoon and scooped out the seedless area in the center of the watermelon. She held the spoon in her right hand, placed her left hand under the spoon, and handed the watermelon to Xilin's mouth.

Xilin opened her mouth and ate the watermelon. Because she was absent-minded, a little red juice flowed out from the corner of her mouth after chewing for a few times. Before it dripped onto her clothes, Bella picked up a tissue and wiped away all the watermelon juice outside of Xilin's mouth.

"So, Reina was imprisoned by Otto for nearly three months? What was Anti-Entropy doing before?"

The second piece of watermelon was handed to Xilin's mouth. This time, Bella noticed that there were seeds inside. Based on Xilin's previous chewing speed, she predicted how long it would take to finish this piece of watermelon.

Although as a Herrscher, it was of course no problem for Xilin to eat watermelon seeds, but she still maintained the habits of a normal person. When she wanted to spit out the seeds, the tissue in Bella's hand appeared at her mouth just in time.

"Pfft, could it be that the information that Raiden Ryoma got before was false?"

Inoxia inserted the straw into the drink and took a big sip. The sweet and sour taste stimulated her taste buds and refreshed her.

"Well, you guessed it right. When Walter wanted to rescue people in April, he fell into the trap woven by Otto."

"He made up a little girl who looked and was similar to Reina in human form, and brought her to a laboratory with a high concentration of Houkai energy, and deliberately leaked the news."

"Since the surveillance footage in the laboratory was impressive and the Houkai energy at the level of Judgment-level Houkai Beast was detected, Raiden Ryoma reported this uncertain news to Haiyuan City."

Upon hearing this, Sitalin straightened up immediately. Just as she was about to put the watermelon to her mouth, Bella quickly took the spoon back.

"Don't worry, I know what you want to ask... That little girl is alive and well now. Because she is just an ordinary person. After being injected with the Houkai energy of the Judgment-level Houkai beast, she will die on the spot without even being able to transform into a dead soldier. In order to ensure that Anti-Entropy can take the bait, nothing was really done to her."

Xilin breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and fell on Enosiya again, then turned her head slightly and swallowed the watermelon handed to her by Bella in one gulp.

"In order to attract Walter's attention, Otto, who was without the Void Manzang, still did it himself. When facing Walter, he playfully joked about his father and prepared to let Melide launch a sneak attack."

"Fortunately, Walter was a former Herrscher of Reason. Even though he was furious, he eventually calmed down. He turned around and dodged the sneak attack from the Herrscher's weapon, and successfully rescued the little girl."

Xilin waved her hand, indicating that Bella should eat the remaining watermelon by herself. Bella nodded slightly, put the watermelon on the other side of the coffee table, sat on the floor and started eating.

"Melide still hasn't used the power of the Law-Binding Agent? Could it be..."

Enosia shook her head slightly:

"The answer to both questions is no. If she deploys a restraining barrier there, I will immediately control the world's non-Honkai weapons to bombard it. However, the leader of Anti-Entropy will probably have to do sit-ups again."

"As for the latter question... Although the results of the Destiny Instrument's test are all normal, my power still has no effect on her. Even if there is a small amount of Honkai energy, it seems to disappear directly after entering her brain. If she is not a Constraint Lawyer, it will be even more terrifying than a Constraint Lawyer, because it means that I know nothing about her abilities."

"That's right... Although she has never used her Herrscher power to kill anyone directly, she has always cooperated with Otto. What is she trying to achieve?"

Enosia stretched out her hands and helped Xilin adjust to a more comfortable position.

"Indeed, my previous goal was to hope that she could follow Qianjie Yicheng to the imaginary space while helping Otto."

"This way, even if she senses something is wrong and opens a 100-kilometer barrier in the imaginary space, she won't have to worry about the death of innocent people... Now it seems that it's going too smoothly. She should know that I have discovered her peculiarity and have been keeping an eye on her..."

Xilin thought about it for a while and then she was too lazy to think about it. She soon immersed herself in Enosiya's gentle touch and slowly closed her eyes.

"She is the end of the tree of imaginary numbers, and she may be the last one among them... Could it be that she wants to..."

Enosia frowned.

"Why, is the worst-case scenario so bad?"

"...Assuming that my series of assumptions are true, it might be troublesome if I'm alone. But if the Herrschers of Knowledge can act together, even in the worst case scenario, there are measures to remedy the situation before any consequences occur."

"Oh, all right."

Xilin knew that she wouldn't understand even if she asked, so she simply gave up asking and would just follow Enosiya's instructions.

At this time, Enosia received a communication from her clone, coming from the place she had been staring at:

[At a university in New Jersey, USA, a student named John Doe died in his dormitory]

"Alas, the peaceful life...is finally broken."
