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

"Hmm...what exactly...is going on?"

Xier couldn't help but touch her chest with her hand. Like a small animal that had been watched by a ferocious beast, the shudder that had penetrated her bones in the dream still lingered in her heart.

"I remember that after the bedtime training last night, I said goodnight to Rosalia and Lilia, and then returned to my dormitory...wait..."

Xier was stunned. It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized how strange the space she was in was. She was in a mysterious cabin that lacked the breath of life. It was empty and windowless, and the whole room looked like an upside-down tin can.

This small space was quiet and dark. In front of the girl was only a single door, and no one knew where it led to.

Xier, who had been drifting in the quantum sea for many years, quickly calmed down in the face of sudden changes. She subconsciously entered her own consciousness space to check the situation of her other self.

The room was empty. No matter how she looked, she was surrounded by endless silence. Rather than fear, a sense of emptiness spread in Xier's heart.

The consciousness that shared the same body with her, her irreplaceable other self, if...

As Xier continued to daydream, a strange feeling spread throughout her body. She felt her own heartbeat, as if it was beating with her.

"Phew...Luckily I scared myself."

Although she was still nowhere to be seen, Xier was certain that she was only [lost contact] and not [in distress]. She imagined someone's possible reaction at this moment and smiled bitterly.

"I'm fine... I'm sorry for making you worry. It's okay, as long as you're still there... we can solve the remaining difficulties together in the end."

Xier calmed down and stood up and walked towards the only door. Before she could do anything, the door in front of her slid silently to the side, revealing the equally quiet and dark corridor behind it.

"The door... is not locked? That means the person who brought me here at least didn't intend to trap me...?"

Xier took a deep breath and looked at the rather gloomy road in front of her that seemed to have no end.

"What should we do? Should we go out along this road..."

There was a brief silence. This time, no one could give her advice, she had to make her own decision.

"…Waiting here is not a solution after all. No matter what happened, I should at least take the initiative to face it."

Passing through the dark corridor, Xier came to a relatively wide space, where she saw many devices that she had never seen before in Anti-Entropy, as well as many people she didn't know.

"This is the sanctuary of God! The fact that you can come here is enough to show your piety and blessings! You have passed the test of the "Stigmata Plan"!"

“Don’t, don’t come over here… I, I…”

"Hmm... I feel like there isn't anyone I can communicate with normally..."

Soon, Xier noticed a familiar pair of twin ponytails in the crowd moving towards her, and she subconsciously ran in that direction.

"It's... Alexandra... Auntie, that's great, I finally know someone!"

"Xi'er... I can see you in [New Atla] after all."

"New Atla?"

"...is the name of this lunar base. Under the influence of the Stigmata Project, all...the Stigmata Awakeners will be sent here by the world."

"Oh, so that's how it is... You mean, we are on the moon now?"

"That's right. Although when I first heard the news, my expression wasn't much better than yours just now... By the way, two Valkyries of Destiny have just left here. One of them calls herself Youlan Dell, and the other calls herself Li Sushang. They said they were trying to find the [way back]..."

"Li Sushang and... Youlan Dell?! Do you know where they are going?"

Alexandra shook her head.

"I know I don't have the ability to fight, so I dare not act rashly in this unfamiliar place. However... they just left not long ago. If Xier wants to find them, maybe she can run into them by chance."

"Xi'er, don't worry about me. I'm safe here. And as you know, I'm Enosia's [family], so the World Serpent wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

"...Then take care of yourself. If you see Sister Bronya..."

"We have to keep it a secret for a while longer... Thank you for hiding it from Bronya for so long."

Xier said goodbye to Alexandra and came to the entrance of the New Atlas Base. Just like before, when she stood next to the gate, it opened automatically.

Outside the base, Xier saw a dilapidated ruin. The iron-gray cliffs blocked the sky on both sides, shrouding everything in a deep gray. There was no one, no sound. There was only desolation everywhere.

She originally believed that Alexandra had no reason to lie to her. But this lifeless scene inevitably made her sad. The huge blue planet reflected the clear light like water, and it was far away from her. That blue - very kind and familiar. And because it was too familiar, it gave people a feeling of fear... especially when it was covered with some ominous runes.

The moon... the Stigmata Project... Seer understood the weight behind these words to some extent. She remembered that Dr. Einstein had said that humans before civilization had set foot on the moon and had even stopped the Herrscher of the End there. If this place was the relic that remained from that time...

(What on earth is the World Serpent going to do?)

Before she could think further, a strange wave of energy approached the girl's side.

"Quantum Shadow? It's exactly the same as what I encountered in the Quantum Sea. Although this is the moon, it should still be the intrinsic world. Why... If Sister Bronya is here, she will definitely find out the truth behind the problem quickly. Sister Bronya, where are you now?"

Xier shook her head:

"No, thinking about this now won't help the current situation. Let's first find a way to reunite with them..."
