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

"So... this is the truth. You went through so much trouble and went through so much trouble just to get rid of this dangerous factor like me? Enosia?"

After controlling the extremely evil Velvi, the purple giant hand kept changing its posture in front of the two Velvi, and finally turned into a projection of Enosia.

"You think too much. Getting rid of you is just a matter of taking advantage of this opportunity."

"Humph, as expected. But... I didn't expect that in order to ensure success, you would use two Herrschers to deal with a part of my memory."

"Because you are a genius, and I can mobilize the power of two Herrschers, why not? However, even if you guessed that all this was arranged by me, you would still cooperate with my performance. Am I right, Wei Wei's... arrogance?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The evil Velvet, who was about to disappear, looked at the real Velvet and laughed at herself:

“I see, that’s how it is. No wonder in the eyes of others, a genius’s [confidence] or even arrogance is the embodiment of [evil]… Hahaha, that’s right. Even if [Vilvi] develops new arrogance after I disappear, you can use the power of erosion to clear it up. Enosia, you win…”

Enosiya snorted coldly and waved her hand very casually. The evil Vilvi's already erratic body immediately turned into ashes.

"It would be too shameful if two Herrschers of Corrosion couldn't clean up an incomplete memory. Weiwei, you've seen that there are no betrayers among the heroes, but the [evil] will become the anthill for the collapse of the paradise of the past."

"...Yeah. I know, so..."

"The thinking area that originally belonged to the [evil] can continue to exist and play its original role. However... I will have my clone clean it up regularly."

"...Okay, the power of the Herrscher is really powerful."

Enosia's figure disappeared from the spot. My real self, Velvet, looked at the empty room and sighed softly:

"Let's go say goodbye to Mei first. Actors need to finish their lines before leaving."

Velvet returned to Mei, holding a dark crystal flower in her hand.

"As expected... I'm still not good at looking into the other person's eyes."

She leaned over and placed the jet-black flower solemnly in Raiden Mei's palm.

"It is safest to leave it with you. After all... I am the only one who can stop you. Well - take it, the last gift. Take it with you to find other heroes, and don't lose it, okay?"

"Wei Weiwei, you..."

"Ah, it's probably hopeless. We thought of that before we set out, didn't we? But we still have to hurry, after all, I have to get you out of Vivi's mind before I disappear completely."

"...Thank you. This crystal flower... So you are also one of the guardians of the "secret"? "

"Well, this is the "second thing" you have to do. ...Remember the method we mentioned to defeat the "Herrscher of Corrosion"? "

“When constructing the Paradise of the Past, experts habitually leave behind a ‘procedure’ that, in a sense, can do this with certainty and accuracy.”

"But should we say it was intentional or unintentional... By the time we realized it, the Herrscher of Corrosion had already eliminated the correct "threat", causing this program to lose its only "starting condition".

"But... that's only for the 'current situation'. Do you understand what I'm saying? The clue is already very clear."

"what……"

"However, you may not realize yet...how crucial you are to the entire plan."

But it doesn't matter, Sue will make you understand. I hope he has seen my "message" to him.

…That’s all the puzzle pieces.”

"You see, Alicia is always like this. She is the beginning of everything and the end of everything.

How wonderful it is that the "thing" you have been going to do will end up giving the "current situation" a completely different meaning in this way...

Well... now, there is only one last thing I can do in my plan.

If I remember correctly, the conductor should have mentioned to you that... she alone could not explain the inscription of "Spiral" to you. "

"I am the same... but now, maybe... you can witness the end of the spiral. We will become one and become the complete Velvet."

"So what should I do next?"

"Remember the time when we exchanged 'everything'? All we have to do is 'open our hearts' -"

Soon, Mei noticed that the expression of Weiwei in front of her changed.

"You are... a magician..."

"Dear audience, you are really smart. It seems that you have more or less realized the key to the magic trick - when the audience is surprised, everything has already been quietly completed."

"Listen up. This is my last performance, and you... are my best assistant. Are you ready to go?"

"Do I need to ask for your permission, Great Magician?"

"Of course, but I allowed it. After all... there's no such thing as a show that never ends, right?

Ah, let me also learn to be a villain for once - Goodbye, my most lovely audience! Is that right? "

“…Exactly.”

Mei wasn't sure whether the magician heard the last answer, because as soon as she finished speaking, Velvet switched her personality again.

"Humph, noisy guy."

"This is the first time I see you smile. Expert Velvet."

Don't get me wrong, I'm feeling proud of myself.

"Isn't it worthy of praise for the talent of chess players?"

"I agree."

"That's good. However, since you are so humble, you did a pretty good job."

"If you want to praise me, just say it. It's better not to force yourself, okay?"

Humph... I really learned a lot from Alicia, don't push your luck... Okay, if you keep talking, they won't be satisfied."

"Oh! Ms. Mei! Is it finally my turn?"

Looking at her excited expression, Mei recognized her immediately:

"It's you... Conductor... I finally know your "name". So, this time... I can meet all of Velvet, right?"

"Does that also include the "Anti-Kevin Armament Model 5"? "

“That might be difficult—she’s a shy person and hasn’t always been confident about her appearance.

And, at the rate she's talking... you'll probably die right here, right here, with us, before this conversation is over!"

“…That’s really a pity.”

"There's nothing we can do. This is a special situation. This is the only way."

"So...is there anything else you want to tell me? Anything will do."

"……Bye now?"

"No wonder your colleague is unhappy - this is really a bit too casual? Well... then, goodbye."

The next one is Velvet. Mei is sure that this is the first time she meets her.

"Virvi? Baiwei..."

"It's me. Although it's a bit strange to say this when we first meet, I always feel that... you and I will get along well. ... Maybe that's what I hoped for. I'm really sorry that I couldn't ask you to taste my cooking."

"Finally... you came back to me."

The real Velvet looked at Raiden Mei with a youthful smile:

"The 'end' of the spiral is also its 'beginning' - that makes sense, right?"

“Use reality to create illusion, and use contradiction to reverse meaning. Dismantle yourself in order to become yourself. Only by creating opposition can you enter unity.”

"Take it, Mei... the true inscription of the "Spiral"."

"This is all the "arrangement" I can complete. What I can do, you can do too. Then... go and solve all the mysteries."
