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

After passing through the space crack, the three found themselves standing on the top of a peculiarly shaped tower, and Otto's voice came from below.

"My heroes, I am glad to see you arrive at this final battlefield safely. Come, find me, and I will tell you that I am invincible now that I have taken over the authority of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers."

The three ignored what Otto said, but determined his location based on the direction of the voice, and then rushed to the bottom of the tower.

"Melide isn't down there. As planned, we'll say goodbye here."

Enosia glanced around and then floated in another direction.

Kiana and Sirin continued along the road ahead, running towards the bottom floor of the tower.

The little obstacles in their way, whether they were roots or boulders, were nothing to them. If anything, it was Otto's constant chattering that kept ringing in their ears.

"Haha~ I know what you are thinking at this moment. You are thinking, how can there be someone like me in the world who is immoral, unforgivable, and yet has no sense of shame? For my own selfish desires, I have hurt you and your friends, and separated you and your friends from each other, but I don't have the slightest regret..."

Even though he knew that these words were Otto's way of disturbing his mind, as an emotional person, no matter how Kiana and Sirin warned him in his heart, it was impossible for him to really not care at all.

However, Otto's dance in the minefield has just begun.

"Oh, that summary seems too general... Let me explain in more detail."

"First, 17 years ago, Sirin became the Herrscher of the Sky in Siberia. You have never seen your father since you were born... or rather, until now, you have no idea what "father" means."

"But when life closes a door for you, it often closes a window for you. It was a cold and dark night, and your mother, who had always depended on you, left you forever. You became an orphan before you learned any skills to support yourself."

"And not long after that, Destiny found you. They didn't take action right away, but instead observed and confirmed you, while using various small favors to make you relax your vigilance."

"Finally, they succeeded. You were touched by the small favors, and faced the [assistance] of the destiny personnel without the slightest doubt. Until you entered the Babylon Experiment Tower, until the pure Houkai energy was injected into your body... Although I have never experienced such a feeling, I heard from those researchers that injecting Houkai energy directly into a normal human body is not much different from injecting concentrated sulfuric acid into a person's blood vessels... Tsk tsk, it hurts just thinking about it."

Listening to Otto's pretentious tone, revealing Xilin's scars in front of her, Kiana's fists made a crisp sound, and the flames behind her cloak burned even more vigorously.

On the contrary, Xilin placed her hand on Kiana's clenched fist, and her expression did not change much.

"Kiana, don't be angry about this. The days in the Babylon Laboratory were indeed the darkest and most painful time in my life. But I have to admit that if I hadn't become a test subject and a Herrscher, even if I suffered misfortune because of Otto, I would not have the right to settle accounts with him."

"Perhaps you can see that I am not a strong enough person, but the reason why I can still live relatively healthy after going through such things is because there are always people around me who accompany me when I need help the most."

"In the beginning, it was Bella. As my companion Honkai Beast, she stood by my side and strictly carried out every one of my orders when I stood against everyone and wanted to slaughter all of humanity. She made me understand that no matter what I want to do, no matter whether what I do is just or in line with universal morality, I will not be alone."

"The second one is Enosia. When I was standing against everyone, she didn't approve of my behavior, but after understanding the whole story, she understood my motives. In the end, it was also her who changed me from a demon who wanted to destroy the world to a Herrscher who just wanted to eat, drink and have fun at home. She made me understand that I still have a home."

"Finally, it's Cecilia. Although her duties as a Valkyrie put her on the opposite side of me, even though she knew that I was a time bomb that could bring a horrific disaster to all of humanity at any time, she was still willing to truly love me like her daughter. She made me understand that I could be like everyone else and be a child with a mother."

"And...even though I have many shortcomings, the people I mentioned above who are important to me are always willing to listen to me. They will not be annoyed by what I say about themselves, nor will they be angry because I interrupt what they are doing by talking to them."

"So... I am mentally healthier than most ordinary people who haven't had that experience. If Otto wants to use this method to make me blinded by hatred, it only proves that if he fights us head-on, he will definitely lose."

"Enosia has told me more than once that as the Herrscher of the Void, I am an indispensable part of his plan. Now that he is using these despicable tricks to patch things up, it can only mean that... I am now strong enough to make this calculating man lose confidence in what he is good at."

Kiana was stunned. She was more surprised than touched.

"Um... I feel like... words like this... aren't something you would say."

Xilin also showed an embarrassed expression on her face:

"Yeah... Indeed, I am more accustomed to solving problems with combat than with words. After all, no matter how strong your debate skills are, or how reasonable your words are, if you are no match for your opponent physically, you will still be the one to fall in the end."

"But, I don't know why, but when I saw Kiana was so angry because of my experience, I couldn't help it..."

Kiana stretched out her fist:

"Because we are also a family. Don't you think so, sister?"
