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

"And the test just now was the process of using your inheritance and memory to merge the power of the Origin Herrscher with your original Herrscher power within the Herrscher core."

"But for Mei, it's about experiencing what she's already experienced from a different perspective, right?"

"Ah."

“Although Ino said that the inheritance of the Herrscher of the Origin is the [Hidden Achievement] of the Paradise of the Past, no one, including me, is sure whether it will succeed in the end.

"And the reason why it was successful in the end... must be because Mei really wanted to see me! Right?"

"Yes. I have always wanted to see you again. To tell you my answer, to tell you that I have found a way forward, to tell you... I will always remember this story left in the paradise of the afterlife."

"Wow... After not seeing you for a while, Mei has become more and more frank. This is too unfair. But I won't admit defeat, okay? How can I let Mei have the upper hand in this situation? So... let's change places, okay? Change to a place... more suitable for girls?"

Alicia waved the staff in her hand, and the surrounding scenery immediately turned into the hall of Paradise. In front of the two of them was a dining table with tea and exquisite cakes on it.

“Clang clang! Is Alicia’s magic more powerful than Velvet’s?”

"If this was Velvet's magic, we would be on Mars or something like that by now."

"Haha, that's right. I really like this place. The meeting hall of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire, the lobby of the Paradise of the Past... It is also the place that Mei is most familiar with and feels most at ease in her entire journey to the Paradise, right?"

"Yeah, that's also where we first met."

So… Mei, do you want to reminisce with me? I’ve known Mei for such a long time, and I really want to hear her own story.”

"Enosia... She should have told you everything I've experienced."

"But I want Mei to tell me in person."

"haha, okay."

"Hehe, I know Mei is the best to me?"

The collision of the teacup and the saucer made a pleasant sound, and the rising mist danced casually, adding a bit of elegance to the two people's chat. They were like friends who had not seen each other for a long time, exchanging their current life situations and telling stories that they had not finished in the previous hasty farewell. However... this time the narrator and the listener exchanged positions.

"Wow, Kiana... what a brave child! And, just from Mei's description, she's so cute. Aino also mentioned her to me before, if I have time in the future, I must meet her."

"Such an opportunity will definitely come."

"Bronya is also amazing. She took the initiative to choose to become a Herrscher... In our time, this is something that we can't even imagine."

"That's all thanks to you."

“I’m just the beginning of that one percent.

Look at your squad leader, "Fu Hua"... Such a long life, so many ups and downs - it can't be summed up with the name "Hua" anymore, right? And, there's also that "Hersher of Knowledge" - hahahaha, I really want to meet her!

"As for the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice, the Herrscher of Domination, and even the alien life forms... I'm very sorry that they, in various forms, eventually stood on the opposite side of humanity..."

"But even their "evil" and "hatred" come from the true nature of human nature. Compared to the Herrschers of that era, they are no longer empty shells controlled by Honkai."

"

Thank you for telling me this, it makes me so happy to hear about the changes that people in the new era have experienced.

However, among all these stories, do you know which one moved me the most, Mei?

"I don't think I'll get a serious answer."

"Then I won't tell you, okay?"

"I want to know. Tell me, Alicia."

“Hahaha, the answer is… ‘every paragraph’. Really, it’s a very long story.”

"After all, it encompasses the whole "Paradise", doesn't it? "Even if the future cannot be changed, I have to decide the process to reach that result myself." "What matters is what I want to believe in during this journey; that will determine what I can get when I reach the end." The lessons you taught me in the stories you left behind, we are turning it into reality. Alicia."

"...Haha. You've become quite mature, Mei."

"How's it going? I didn't disappoint you, did I, Senior Alicia?"

"I've already said it, how could Mei let anyone down?"

"Haha, that's right. After all... I met some very good seniors. I'm very happy that I chose to step into the paradise of the past and witness your stories.

"This story touched me, made me grow, and eventually became a part of me. And I will continue to pass on your deeds and will, so that generations after generations will know that there was such a group of people who lived a vigorous and brilliant life."

"It's not just the stories of the heroes, but also the stories of Kiana, Bronya, Fu Hua... the stories of all those who have tried their best for beautiful things. Who told me that I'm surrounded by these "idiots" who don't think about themselves?"

“I hope that more people can be moved by this story—that they will have the fortitude to face this complex world and the courage to make decisions that they can live with.”

"But... as a Herrscher's ideal, isn't this a little too simple?"

"No. Isn't the reason for the existence of the Paradise of the Past just as simple? Mei has already been one of the "Heroes"."

"Thank you, Alysia. Unconsciously, I have been influenced by you and changed a lot, just like the heroes. So, this is your true power, right?"

"Maybe... in that case, Mei must have the same ability now."

"I'm also surprised that I started to think about these issues. I never thought that I would have such a day. Looking back... I guess I took a lot of detours."

"Mei. Human growth is never achieved overnight. The significance of those confused and lost days is precisely to make us start thinking.

No matter happiness or pain, everything comes together to make Meiyi the mature and strong one she is now. So please accept all of yourself - because those who like you will like your shortcomings as well. "

"Yes, I will. I promise."

"Ha ha?

So...are we going to set off?"

"...Yes. I will become the Herrscher of Origin and complete the mission that I should complete."

"...What? Could it be that Mei hasn't noticed yet?"

"Perceive what?"

"When she arrived here, Mei was already the Herrscher of the Origin. Or rather, it was because she became the Herrscher of the Origin that Mei was able to reach this place of origin and meet me."

"Hmm... Could it be that... Mei still doesn't have a sense of reality? Does she need something more ceremonial? Like beautiful new clothes... or a little love education from her seniors? If Mei really wants it, it's not impossible, right?"

"...Yes. I'll leave both of these to you, Alicia."

"Ah, Mei has become so greedy now. Fortunately, I already have a lot of things to say to Mei... I'm sure Mei will be full of praise for my aesthetic taste."

"Haha, I'll wait and see."

"Okay, then I have to get to the point."

Alicia waved her staff again, and the Land of Origin returned to its original state. Countless pink petals floated out from nowhere and enveloped Mei's entire body.
