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

"Wei Weiwei? At this time...she has already..."

"Not yet. Before the third collapse, Wei Wei had just arrived at Dusk Street. Her role is still to come. After all, there are thirteen heroes in total. By the time everyone becomes a partner fighting side by side, that will be after the eleventh collapse."

"This bat... is a failed product that Velvet developed herself before she joined the Fire Moths in order to fight against the Herrschers. But that's what she thought. So when others noticed the uniqueness of this bat and wanted to buy it at a high price, Velvet didn't have any objections."

"Failure... product?"

"Mei, you just saw it. Although the baseball bat can block the lightning of the Herrscher of Thunder, even in Kevin's hands, it takes dozens of swings to kill a tank-level Honkai beast. From Vivi's perspective, this hard enough insulator is of course a failure."

"...That's right. The Herrscher of Thunder of the previous civilization is obviously stronger than me. No matter how strong Kevin is, it's a bit too ridiculous to kill a Herrscher with a baseball bat..."

"Let's just keep watching."

As time flowed again, the Herrscher of Thunder raised his hand again, as if he didn't believe it, and released a second electromagnetic cannon at Kevin.

The result was, of course, the same as before. With a loud "boom", he was knocked out by Kevin again, and this time he hit the ruins on the left.

Both attacks failed to achieve the expected effect, so the Herrscher of Thunder changed her thinking. She put her right hand on top and her left hand on the bottom, and discharged electricity between her two hands, quickly forming a ball of thunder.

Kevin, who has watched a lot of novels and animations, of course knows what the Herrscher of Thunder is doing now. It must be the prelude to some big move, so he immediately rushed forward, ready to interrupt the spell.

But the Herr of Thunder was obviously wary of Kevin. When he saw him rushing towards him with big strides, he immediately flew upwards.

Although Kevin's physique can rival that of gods as a mortal, he obviously does not have the ability to fly or jump a hundred meters. Without the advantage in the air, he can only watch anxiously on the ground.

The radius of the thunder ball became larger and larger, and the Herrscher of Thunder changed his movements from raising his left and right hands up and down to holding up with both hands. When the radius of the thunder ball exceeded 3 meters, the surrounding space had completely turned into a world of thunder and lightning, with countless purple electric lights raging in it; some of the electric lights were even as viscous as liquid, and there were even some spherical lightnings rioting in it.

As if he felt that he had accumulated enough power, the Herrscher of Thunder threw the terrifying-looking thunder ball hard at Kevin below.

At this time, on the huge street, only Kevin and Mei who was quietly watching the battle from the back were left. When Kevin realized that he could not interrupt the Herrscher of Thunder's ultimate move and that she had identified him as a target, he immediately urged Mei to leave and told her to run as far as she could.

The moment the thunder ball fell, the dazzling lightning took away Mei's vision, and only purple remained in her eyes; the constant crackling sounds around her took away her hearing, and in her ears, only the chaotic sounds of thunder and lightning remained; the burnt smell that gradually permeated the air took away her sense of smell. Mei knew that this attack by the Herrscher of Thunder had completely turned the humans hiding under the ruins nearby or who were not yet dead into charcoal.

Although this move brought an unprecedented impact to Mei's senses, she did not feel any fear in her heart because she knew that this was just a virtual system and that with Inoxia's backup, there would not be the classic plot of "being hurt in the virtual world leading to death in reality".

In addition, after the system optimization, Inosia directly deleted the function of both parties causing harm to each other. That is, Mei cannot harm any object in the virtual system, and no object in the system can do anything to Mei.

Therefore, even though Mei was bathed in lightning, she could not use the power of the Herrscher and did not feel any pain.

And because she had been the Ruler of Thunder for so long, the scene of being surrounded by lightning did not scare her, but made her feel quite familiar.

"1, 2, 3......"

Because she was in the thunder and lightning, Mei completely lost her sense of time, so she could only count silently in her mind to calculate how long this move would last.

"589, 590, 591..."

When I counted to "592", the sound lingering in my ears finally changed from the crackling of thunder and lightning to the whistling of the wind. Not long after, my eyesight, which had been temporarily deprived, gradually recovered.

"About 10 minutes? Judging from the duration, it is much stronger than the maximum output power I can currently achieve. I just wonder if it would be better if she were to control this body..."

[Coward, don't think too highly of me. My control over the power of a Herrscher is only a little stronger than yours.]

[If I were to face this guy...I don't want to admit it, but I'm no match for him.]

[But it's normal to think about it. This Herrscher of Thunder was born in a previous civilization with more advanced technology. It's only natural that he is much stronger than us. But...]

[Is this guy named Kevin really a human? ]

Mei now understood that although her second personality didn't talk to her very actively, she could listen to her inner thoughts as long as she wanted. After all, they shared the same body...

Although she didn't have a deep understanding of her second personality, Mei knew that it would be extremely difficult to make her admit that she was a weak person.

The reason why she could say these words that were consistent with her heart was, of course... She saw from her own perspective that after this attack, the street block, which would have caused congestion if two cars drove towards each other, turned into a big pit that was wider than several football fields. The burnt smell that originally filled the air also disappeared.

This is because the ruins, trees, and asphalt road on both sides were directly broken down into atoms by the power of the Herrscher of Thunder.

Although Mei herself can decompose any non-Hershersman and non-Fusion Warrior human, or a building, into atoms, but to cause such great damage in such a short period of time... Even the always stubborn second personality said that she does not have this ability.

What shocked the two even more was that Kevin, who was right in front of them, fell on his butt because the ground under his feet broke into atoms.

He slowly got up from the ground, rubbing his buttocks and breathing heavily. A wisp of black smoke slowly rose from the end of the bat, and his originally handsome clothes became tattered.

But then... nothing happened. After the series of changes just now, Mei couldn't even find a scratch on Kevin's body.

The reason why he was panting and sweating profusely was not because he was physically exhausted, but more because he had never seen any big scenes and had no experience fighting with the Herrscher. He was quite frightened in the battle just now.

In contrast, the Herrscher of Thunder, who was also breathing heavily, flapping his wings in the air, and constantly lowering his altitude, seemed to be exhausted.

"The Herrscher of Thunder mobilized almost all the Houkai energy that he could mobilize at the moment, and launched a powerful attack... Kevin... was not hurt at all?"

Even though they have gone through so many ups and downs over the years and even though they have made sufficient mental preparations, the fight between Kevin and the Herrscher of Thunder continues to refresh Mei's understanding of the world and [people].

Mei is convinced that even if Kevin does not have the super mutation factor in his body, he is a monster compared to the Honkai beast.

Then, a scene that continued to shock Mei's cognition appeared. After the Herrscher of Thunder found that Kevin was unharmed, he actually chose to escape.

Mei knew that the Herrschers of the previous civilization had no humanity. There was only one possibility that the Herrscher of Thunder would behave like this, and that was its own enemy-searching mechanism, which directly judged Kevin as an [indestructible target].

While Kaiwen was holding back the Herrscher of Thunder by himself, the Fire Moth's troops finally arrived.

Several helicopters came from different directions and surrounded the Herrscher of Thunder, while keeping a distance of more than one kilometer from her.

Then, a [line] was shot out from all the helicopters in perfect sync, and a huge net that trapped the Herrscher of Thunder immediately appeared in the sky above Changkong City, which was already in ruins.

The Herrscher of Thunder seemed to realize that something was wrong. He raised his right hand and shot out lightning, but after it landed on the net, it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

[Calling headquarters, the current situation is just as expected, the Herrscher of Thunder is now at the end of his rope. ]

Soon, the people on the helicopter discerned the orders from headquarters from the harsh electronic sound.

【Contact Mr. Hen. 】

Soon, another helicopter that looked different from the other models appeared above Kevin. Hen dropped a box from the helicopter and then quickly landed on the ground.

Hen skillfully opened the heavy box, took out a weapon that looked like a water gun, and inserted a special tube into one end of the water gun.

"Hey boy, use this. This is much more useful than that baseball bat of yours. What you need to do is very simple. Just spray it at the guy."

He glanced at Mei beside him and quickly handed the water gun to Kevin.

"This is... the other optimization that Enosia mentioned before?"

After Inosia optimized and upgraded the system, when the plot develops to a critical stage, whether Mei's existence is discovered passively or Mei actively appears in the sight of other people, everyone present will be forced to execute the actions that took place in real history and automatically treat her as air.

Although from a gaming perspective this would greatly reduce the player experience, after much thought, Inossia still believed that it was more important to present an authentic storyline to Mei.

Kevin, who received the [Water Gun], was confused, but he still followed Hen's instructions and pressed the button at the Herrscher of Thunder.

At this time, the Herrscher of Thunder had used a large amount of Honkai Energy on Kevin, who had no health bar at all, causing his blue bar to run out. Now he could only stay in the cage, watching the liquid with the characteristics of the Fire Moth pouring on his body, completely extinguishing his remaining Honkai Energy.

Except for the Herrscher of the Void, the remaining 11 Herrschers have a limit to the amount of Honkai energy they can store and use. If the Honkai energy in a Herrscher's body approaches zero, not only will they be unable to use their Herrscher powers, but all of their body values ​​will also be reduced to their original state.

As the already dwindling Honkai energy in his body rapidly decreased, the wings of the Herrscher of Lightning became more and more transparent, and finally, at the moment of disappearance, he fell headfirst to the ground.

The helicopter in the sky retracted the [line], and then immediately opened fire at full power, shooting the Herrscher of Thunder, who was unable to use his power, into a sieve.

After the ceasefire, Hen quickly stepped forward, holding a knife in one hand and a detection instrument in the other, and found and took out the core of the Herrscher of Thunder.

Afterwards, with the help of other Fire Moth warriors, the Herrscher Core and the Herrscher's Body were loaded onto two helicopters and quickly taken away from Changkong City.

Hen is responsible for bringing the core back to the base, while the remaining warriors are responsible for eliminating other Honkai beasts and launching rescue operations.

Just as Kevin was about to leave, a soldier grabbed his arm:

"Hello, Fire Moth has just learned about your wonderful performance. I wonder if you..."

Kevin shook his hand away:

"I'm sorry, I...my girlfriend might still be in danger, I have to..."

"Can you describe what she looks like? The Fire Moth will assist you in your search and keep her safe."

Kevin pulled out May's photo.

"…Is she the daughter of that famous physicist? Don't worry, I just received a call from a colleague. She successfully arrived at the nearest temporary shelter before the explosion.

"Of course, we can fully understand your anxiety, so why don't we go there together and confirm her condition with our own eyes."

Kevin didn't answer and quickly followed him into the distance. Looking at his brisk back as he left, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Mei would have thought Kevin had just played a basketball game.

In the temporary shelter, Kevin, smiling as if nothing had happened, embraced Mei, whose heart was in her throat, warmly, and the plot at this point came to an end.

Back in the lounge, Mei took the cup without waiting for Inoxia to take action.

"Mei, I can see that the process of the Third Herrscher's destruction had a great impact on you. It's rare that you take the initiative to drink a glass of water to calm your nerves."

"If I tell you that the scope of the third collapse of the former civilization is far more than Changkong City, or even more than the Far East, what would you think?"

The cup of water stopped at Mei's lips.

"Just like Reina who appeared in Changkong City, when the Herrscher of Thunder was ineffectively attacking Kevin in Changkong City, her companion Honkai Beast, the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Shesha, caused huge damage in Canghai City of the former civilized Shenzhou."

"At this time, Hua, who was studying in Canghai City, witnessed the horror of Honkai for the first time."
