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

February 2018, outer space.

The first test flight of the modified Hyperion has been very successful so far, and it is expected to enter the lunar orbit in less than 2 hours.

As the current Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, Theresa is naturally the supreme commander of Hyperion.

"Hmm? This is the message from the Salt Lake City base command center..."

Hi, Principal!

"Kiana?"

【Kiana】:

"Hehe, you didn't expect that. Actually, I just finished breakfast and saw Dr. Einstein preparing to go to the command center to take over Dr. Tesla's shift, so I followed him."

Albert Einstein:

“Hello, Ms. Theresa. It looks like everything is going well.”

Theresa:

"Well, thanks to you. Before we set out, I really didn't expect that you would actually install a gravity simulation device on the Hyperion."

Albert Einstein:

"You should thank Bronya for that. She helped Dr. Tesla develop the system that uses the replica of the Star of Eden to provide regional gravity."

【Kiana】:

"Hmm... so, even in space, we can have the same experience as flying on an airplane?"

Theresa:

"If you ask me, it's much smoother than the Hyperion that traveled in the atmosphere in the past. I had a good rest last night. I even felt like I was back in the staff dormitory of St. Freya."

Albert Einstein:

"Haha, thank you Ms. Theresa for your compliment. Although the predecessor of the Anti-Entropy Organization, the North American branch of the Destiny, was founded by Miss Nancy Edison with the purpose of "civilian use"... this is indeed our first attempt to develop civilian functions for the "Star of Eden."

【Kiana】:

"The Star of Eden..."

"Bronya told me that it played a crucial role in Anti-Entropy's independence from Heavenly Mandate - right, Doctor?"

Albert Einstein:

““Walk along the Freedom Road, and then visit Lexington at midnight” - indeed, if there was no Eden, even if the Anti-Entropy Organization could be born, it would never have grown to its current size.”

"Although the principle pursued by Anti-Entropy during the struggle with Destiny can be summarized as "the best threat is not to take action"...but this effective deterrence must undoubtedly be based on "winning the first battle." At the very least, we must make Destiny at that time believe from the bottom of their hearts that they do not have the ability to provoke a full-scale war and destroy us."

【Kiana】:

"That's why Mr. Walter had to use the power of the Herrscher of Reason to disguise himself. It's not easy to deceive Otto.

Albert Einstein:

"It should be said that thanks to the skills of Teacher Planck, Anti-Entropy was able to gradually gain a foothold in the extremely difficult situation back then. Perhaps this also made us more or less dependent on the teacher back then... so much so that after her sudden death, the management of Anti-Entropy was once very chaotic."

"——I'm sorry, Ms. Theresa. I accidentally started talking about these past events and almost deviated from our original topic."

Theresa:

"It's okay. It's very instructive for us to listen to the doctor's analysis of this history from the perspective of anti-entropy. Whether it's the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of Fire, or the Herrscher of Ice, these three powers all have rich and colorful possibilities. If we can integrate the experience of anti-entropy and destiny, I believe we can further enhance the strength of the team."

Albert Einstein:

"Indeed. Just like the Star of Eden mentioned earlier... Miss Changguang is very interested in it, and we are also happy to share information with her laboratory and jointly explore the "possibilities" of the Ninth God Key in the future."

【Kiana】:

"That is to say... next, we will have a chance to see a different Planet of Eden?"

Albert Einstein:

"It's possible. Moreover, with the progress of various cooperative projects, the level of cooperation between us has been steadily improving. As a vision, I think we will eventually have the opportunity to realize the "Moonlight Throne Project" that Miss Nancy once envisioned."

"So, Kiana - this is a rare opportunity. Are you going to observe our "space exercise" next? According to the established plan, today we will practice deep space bombardment and extravehicular combat.

【Kiana】:

"That sounds interesting! Hmm, but I have to participate in the Valkyrie's mobile tactics training later, so I probably won't be able to visit all the time."

Theresa:

"Oh, is it Youlandel? I heard that she will take you to participate in various systematic Valkyrie training recently, and has formulated a very strict training plan."

[Kiana]:

Yes, my sister is indeed the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny. Even though she has defeated all the opponents of Destiny, she never slacks off in her daily training. Even my parents think she should find a chance to relax. "

Theresa:

"Ah, Cecilia has come back again?"

【Kiana】:

"Yes, but now I'm back with Sister Silin, and I took Reina with me."

Theresa:

"Cecilia has brought Reina to the World Serpent, right? Reina is Mei's companion Honkai beast, but she hasn't been able to help at all since the awakening of the Herrscher of Ice. She must be very frustrated."

【Kiana】:

"Yes, she told me that if she was at the Salt Lake City base when we were fighting the Thousand Herrscher, she would have been the first to rush in. From more than a year ago to now, she has always been able to perfectly avoid all important battles. If she were an ordinary person, she would probably sigh at her good luck, but as a Judgment-level Honkai beast, she felt uncomfortable instead."

"No matter what Mei is going to do next, with Reina's help, she will definitely be able to do better..."

The two continued to chat about daily life until the Hestia of Destiny landed on the tarmac of the Salt Lake Base, and Kiana and the others waved goodbye.

Theresa:

"That's great."

Albert Einstein:

"Yes. Compared to when she was at St. Freya's Academy two years ago, she is like a completely different person."

Theresa:

"Young people grow up so quickly. In the blink of an eye, they may mature to the point that even their parents are shocked. ...Speaking of which, the preparations for the exercise..."

Albert Einstein:

"Well, let me repeat today's exercise plan. As we pointed out in the plan, this exercise aims to test Hyperion's unmanned deep space cruise system and fully automatic combat system, and in the process, deepen our command department's battle dispatch capabilities."

"According to the exercise schedule, today's main exercise subjects are: deep space bombardment, extravehicular combat, and electromagnetic silent cruise. We will first practice the individual subjects, and then test the cross-coordination capabilities between the subjects."

Theresa:

"Then let's start directly from the part about fighting outside the cabin."

Albert Einstein:

"It seems that Ms. Theresa is in high spirits."

Theresa

"Seeing the younger generation making progress, we, as seniors, certainly wouldn't be willing to be surpassed by them, right?"

Albert Einstein:

"That's true. As the saying goes, 'I am old but still full of youthful enthusiasm' - who among us is not a young man?"

After the chat, Einstein quickly got down to work.

"Since the space suits for ordinary people are very heavy, only Herrschers, Fusion Warriors, and Stigma Awakeners have the ability to fight swiftly in outer space. In addition, in a state of weightlessness, it will be difficult for people who go out of the cabin to control their own movement trajectory - therefore, a "gravity simulation device" is also one of the necessary conditions for this type of combat."

"But even if we manage to solve all the above difficulties, we still cannot change the extremely low temperature environment of outer space. Ms. Theresa, be careful not to stray too far away from the pre-set heat radiation device during the operation."

"Under the current exercise conditions, we can only prepare training mechas as imaginary enemies. If Changguang's experiments go smoothly, we may be able to introduce some higher-level targets for actual combat exercises. Dr. Tesla is very interested in this, and she has even prepared names for potential exercise targets - from "Tezcatlipoca" to "Huitzilopochtli."

Theresa: (What kind of names are these?)
