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

"Alas, the trouble with Otto is that no matter how incredible what he said is, we can't just ignore it. But at the same time, the plan just now was completely his one-sided statement, and we don't know how much of it is true and how much is false. At present, going to Saint 537 Church to fight him is our only choice."

"In order to save time, I suggest that we let Xilin and the others who are closer go first. After we reach the Saint 537 Church, we can transfer all the combat forces here."

No one objected. Theresa and the others set off immediately, while Cheng Lixue ran to the place where Fu Hua and Li Sushang were fighting. At this time, the streets of Kolos Teng were flashing with swords. The two who had been fighting until now were unaware of what Otto had just said.

Facing Li Sushang, Fu Hua was not eager to win quickly. Because she knew clearly that if she wanted to defeat Li Sushang without Jianxin, she could only take risks. And the result of doing so was that even if she won, her strength would be seriously damaged, and she would probably not be able to affect Otto's plan.

And if she lost, the worst result would be that Li Suchang would defeat her and then hold back the others... Although based on Fu Hua's understanding of Li Suchang, she would not do that.

But Fu Hua knew that the others were now the main force in exposing Otto's conspiracy, and Li Sushang was wasting time with her, so she was also holding her back. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Fu Hua decided to keep a low profile and wait for the situation to change.

When Xilin and others arrived at the gate of St. 537 Church, the door of the church was closed. In the square in front of the door, there was a familiar lance.

"Black Abyss White Flower, why is it here... No, what did grandpa do to Youlan Daier?"

When Theresa was wondering what happened between Yulandel and Otto, Xilin winked at Bella, and Bella gathered lightning in her hand and was about to blast it towards the door.

This gate, which is also a historical relic, is undoubtedly luckier than the ancient buildings around Ziyuan Square. Because just when Bella was about to open the door violently, it was pushed open by the person inside.

The girl with gray hair and green eyes looked at Bella who was ready to go. Her expression did not show any nervousness at all, but rather a hint of teasing.

"Mailide, where is Grandpa!"

"I think the bishop should tell you that if you want to see him, you have to go through many challenges. And I am one of them!"

Melide pointed to the sky, and a gear that was larger than the Saint 537 Cathedral appeared above everyone's heads.

Kiana felt an uncomfortable sensation and the first thing she thought of was to smash it. When Xilin and Theresa saw the gear, their expressions suddenly changed.

"Come on!"

Although Kiana was puzzled, she followed the other three and ran away out of trust. After running about a kilometer, the feeling of depression in Kiana disappeared in an instant.

"The area covered by that gear is a restraining barrier!"

When the four of them had a chance to catch their breath, Theresa explained the reason to the confused Kiana.

"Boundary?! Doesn't that mean that Melide is..."

"Well, although it is hard to believe, the only person who can deploy a binding barrier at will is... the Binding Herr."

As soon as Xilin started positioning, Melide waved her right hand forward, and the gear in the air started moving again. Also, around the huge gear, several gears of different sizes appeared, which were either directly spliced ​​together or connected to each other by golden rods.

Tesla, who was still staying near the Resource Square and had just finished inspecting the Titan Mech, saw this thing and his eyes and mind trembled violently.

"Hey, hey, hey, Chicken Coop Head, you are kidding. Could this be the one we met during the second collapse..."

"Well, judging from the energy readings and monitoring responses... that thing is indeed a Divine Grace Barrier. No, to be more precise, it is a way of using restraint power similar to that of a Divine Grace Barrier."

"Kiana, everyone, get out of the way! If you get hit by those gears, you're done for!"

However, Theresa raised a question:

"No matter how we try to escape, that thing will always exist, and it will move freely according to Meride's will. First of all, what we lack most now is time. If we wait until Meride runs out of Houkai energy and the gears disperse on their own, everything will be too late."

"Secondly, there are countless Valkyries and ordinary people living in Korosten. If we just leave them alone, what should we do if they enter the coverage area of ​​the barrier?"

"But, Theresa, we don't have any other options right now..."

"No, Doctor, do you remember the experiment I did on [Constraint]? Since its principle is similar to the Divine Grace Barrier, I will also activate the Divine Grace Barrier and collide with it. What will happen?"

"...In theory, it can indeed be destroyed in this way. However, Ms. Theresa, you should know what it means to you as a fusion warrior once the Divine Grace Barrier is opened."

"I know the side effects of the Divine Grace Barrier. I have already experienced it during the second collapse."

Tesla's excited voice interrupted:

"But didn't you see the Imaginary Seed in the sky? If you match that strength, you will die!"

Theresa glanced at Kiana next to her and smiled calmly:

"Maybe, but... protecting the future is what I should do now! Xilin, please take Kiana away from me!"

"Wait, Principal!"

Although Kiana didn't fully understand the conversation between Theresa and the doctor, Dr. Tesla's words "You will die" were heard word for word.

Xilin picked up Kiana and ran away from the gears with Bella.

"Ah, then there is nothing to worry about. Judas, my old friend, please help me one last time."

Several chains shot out from Judas and soared into the sky.

"Judas's Oath, zero rated power, directional deployment!"

Countless gear sets that were almost identical to the ones in the air immediately appeared beside Theresa. The two sides collided with each other, but there was no roar as expected. After reaching the critical value, they turned into light spots and dissipated at the same time.

As soon as Kiana landed on the ground, she ran towards Theresa. Everything in Kolos Teng returned to normal, except Theresa, who collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Tsk, even if you make it so tragic, you still can't break through my defense."

Melide raised her hand, and the outer perimeter of the Holy 357 Church was once again covered by a restraining barrier.

However, before she could even raise her lips, countless torrents fell from the sky and shattered the restraining barrier she had just built.

Enosia's eyes flickered:

"Have you forgotten my existence?"
