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

"The former civilization in the eyes of the heroes..."

"Yes, the world imagined by the people of the pre-civilization is of course still the pre-civilization, so Mei... I didn't lie to you."

"You just asked me so many questions. Now I want to ask you, how do you feel about the official server experience?"

"you mean……"

“It’s fine in any way.”

"…It feels… not much different from modern civilization. I even have the illusion of returning to a few years ago."

"In addition, the technology of the previous civilization... or more accurately, the ability to understand unknown things is indeed stronger than that of the current civilization. Before the establishment of Anti-Entropy and the activation of the World Serpent, the knowledge of the people of the current civilization about Honkai was basically monopolized by Otto alone."

Enosia asked with interest:

"So Mei... Based on your current understanding, which of the imaginary space school and the extraterrestrial life school is closer to the truth?"

"…The imaginary space faction can explain the phenomenon of the collapse, but cannot fundamentally explain the cause of the collapse. They attribute the cause of the collapse to the spatial fluctuations of the imaginary space, but why does the imaginary space have spatial fluctuations? Why do the spatial fluctuations of the imaginary space invade the real world? Why is the collapse in the imaginary space, where the rules are very different from those of the real world, closely related to the development of human civilization? I am afraid that these questions cannot be answered."

"As for the alien life faction... they did explain how the Honkai occurred, but the other problems remain unsolved. And... when they are in doubt, they just say it was done by aliens... I always feel... it's a universal excuse."

"Oh? So, Mei is saying that both factions are wrong and have no value?"

Mei shook her head:

"On the contrary, the views of these two schools of thought have made me understand more about Honkai."

“As for Honkai Impact, here are the facts:

First, the collapse will continue to grow stronger as civilization develops, and will eventually destroy civilization.

Secondly, the special imaginary internal energy of Honkai energy is closely related to the imaginary world.

From the first point, we can infer that the source of the collapse should be something that controls it. This existence may not be the metaphysical [will of collapse], but may just be the program of some machine.

From the second point, we can deduce that the source of the collapse has the ability to connect the real world and the imaginary world, and can even guide imaginary creations to invade the real world to a certain extent. The specific form is the [triggering imaginary fluctuations] of the imaginary space school.

This can also explain why it is almost impossible to eliminate the source of the collapse. Not to mention the strength of the Herrscher, perhaps the source of the collapse is not in the real world at all, and it is very difficult for humans to even find its location, let alone eliminate it.

Although it seems to be a universal excuse, a machine that can connect the imaginary space and the real world and give birth to a powerful existence like the Herrscher can only come from outer space.

But... what I don't understand now is what the ultimate purpose of [the source of collapse] is. From the perspective of the mechanism, the intensity of collapse is positively correlated with the development of human civilization, which means that at least its original intention is not to completely destroy human civilization. For now, it is more like... constantly giving humans opportunities..."

"Crack, snap, snap"

After Mei finished her speech, Enosia couldn't help but applaud.

"Mei is really amazing to be able to draw such a conclusion from the known information. I won't comment too much to shake Mei's mind. After you have a good rest, you can move on to the next node."

After a while, Mei Raiden stood up from the sofa and touched the teleportation anchor point in the lounge again.

Mei returned to the familiar apartment, but this time, the clothes on her body were no longer the uniform of Chiba Academy, but the Valkyrie combat uniform similar to Tensei. To be more specific, it was like Valkyrie Strike.

"The Valkyrie combat uniform of Destiny is also based on the previous civilization... It's only been less than a year since I took off the Valkyrie Strike armor, but it feels like... a long time has passed."

Mei looked at herself in the mirror and then turned on her cell phone.

"My current identity is... a member of the first squad of the Fire Moth Special Operations Team. The captain is Hen... Wait a minute, isn't this Gray Xiu's father?"

Looking at the handsome man in the photo who had the same hair color as Grayshu, Mei confirmed it again and again before connecting him with Grayshu and the trace mentioned by the other Yingjie.

Just as Mei was about to collect more information, the alarm suddenly sounded.

"Attention, all units! Attention, all units! All members of the Fire Moth First Squadron must assemble at the designated location within 30 minutes!"

Mei looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that there was a device similar to a loudspeaker installed on the wall next to the gate.

"The layout of the room and the items are similar to before, but because of the difference in time and identity, it is not actually the same building..."

I pushed open the door and walked out of the apartment. The scenery outside was very different from the previous node. The streets were very empty, and there were unidentified objects in the air accompanied by leaves fluttering, which looked quite bleak.

But soon, at least a hundred fully armed soldiers gathered on the street, and like Mei, there were only eight people in total, including Mei and Hen, who were not wearing uniform.

"So this is the apartment of the Fire Moth Special Forces... That makes sense. There is no Fire Moth logo on the uniforms of those soldiers. It seems that they are soldiers from other departments..."

Unlike the current civilization, the ratio of men to women in the special forces is very normal, four men and four women. After all, at this time, on the one hand, there is no stigma at this time point, and on the other hand, the collapse is not a particularly big disaster. As long as the adaptability of the collapse is not too bad and has a skill, you can join.

During the gathering, Mei listened to their banter. Since they had her in their minds and she had no memory of getting along with them, she was not sure how to respond. But gradually, she found the problem.

"02, after this mission is over, let's go to that bar and have another drink, the same one we went to last time."

"Okay 03, no problem."

"Enosia..."

Enosia immediately crawled out of the ground, and at the same time, the ongoing events were frozen in place as if the pause button was pressed.

"Mei, what's the problem?"

"…Let's put aside why the emergency incident was suddenly inserted. Why do the eight members of the First Special Forces, except for me and Hen, not use names and call each other by code names?"
