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

"Sister, what happened?"

"I'm fine, Kiana. It's just that Yulandel and the others in the outside world captured my Herrscher signal and completed a special communication with me."

"Yulan Daier...is she still in the Destiny headquarters?"

"No. She, Xi'er, and Li Sushang were forcibly transported to the real moon under the influence of the "Stigmata Project", and that side is in the same position as us... corresponding to each other."

"There is a large shelter called 'New Atla', where many stigma awakeners selected by the World Serpent through this compulsory mechanism live. Our act of rebuilding the bridge just now also affected the external reality - that's why Yulandel and I established a brief connection."

"…"New Atla"? I've heard of this place before, but I never thought it was on the moon."

Xilin relayed Schrödinger and Yulandel's ideas to others.

"If she feels something is fishy... then we really need to find Dr. Mei and discuss the issue..."

Enosia remained calm:

"There's no need to be so nervous. Dr. Mei is obviously not our enemy, otherwise there would be no need for us to restore our strength. What she called "concealment" was just the fact that "what we did could reconnect the World Bubble to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers."

"Aino, what you mean is..."

"Of course, these are just my own guesses. You have to ask her herself for the actual facts."

"Well...anyway, there will be something exciting to watch soon."

"Bronya means that the Herrscher of Knowledge will..."

“Are you referring to the reaction of the Herr of Knowledge after learning of this ‘doubt’?”

"Of course. Doesn't that guy hate being deceived the most?

"Indeed. But... I always feel that she seems to have complicated feelings towards Dr. Mei.

"When the monitor was still a member of the 'Fire-Chasing Thirteen Heroes', Dr. Mei was the de facto leader of the Fire-Chasing Moths. I'm afraid that for the Herrscher of Knowledge, the doctor is also her 'old acquaintance' to some extent."

"It seems that Dr. Mei is very good at understanding her psychology. However, if Dr. Mei is hiding something from both herself and us..."

"Aino is right. In any case, let's go ask her what the real situation is."

At the same time, the Herrscher of Knowledge, with the attitude of having nothing to do, was sharing Fu Hua's experience with Mei.

"...Then, this old antique was once again seriously injured and lost consciousness. Do you think she is stupid? Now, even she was deceived by that man named Otto to go to Europe."

"I think that the man named "Otto" must be no ordinary person."

"It would be better if he did! ... Forget it, let's not mention him. It's unlucky to mention him. That guy has been a world leader his whole life, but he only has a woman who has been dead for 500 years in his heart."

"Guess what - it is said that he finally exchanged his life for another's and saved the lady from the other world. Tell me, what is this all about?"

"...I see. No wonder Prometheus recorded an energy spike that was enough to affect the entire planet in an instant even without the Herrscher of the End coming. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected. If he really did that, the only possibility would be the so-called "turning the tide." "

"Hey... why are you praising him? I think you have never met him in person and don't know how disgusting he is."

"Haha. I believe you on this point."

"… You guys are finally done here. If you don't come over, we'll have to talk about the entire 50,000 years of history from beginning to end."

"From the looks of it, it seems like you guys have some questions for me before you cross the bridge to meet Prometheus?"

"Yes. To be honest, during the preparations, my sister received a communication from the outside world. They are my comrades-in-arms, and they are currently being forcibly transported to the moon of the real world by the Stigmata Project. And what's even more coincidental is... my other sister is also among them. She happened to have participated in the experiment of helping the world bubble establish a connection with what you call the "end". "

"I see."

"So... Dr. Mei, it seems that you didn't tell us the whole truth about this bubble world for some reason... right?"

"what?!"

As everyone expected, the Ruler of Consciousness immediately became furious.

"Be patient, Hua." You should understand that when a matter is in a complicated situation, hiding something is not "cheating" but a kind of "sorting out".

The origin of the world is complex and originally beyond the grasp of human beings - but with the power of "sorting out", we can ignore the unimportant parts and predict the operation of all things to a certain extent.

...This is the essence of physics."

"Okay, okay. Anyway, you're saying that these concealments were not intentional?"

"Yes. Because those details are not important to you, they are just trivial matters that you don't need to care about... However, since you have asked me seriously, I will try my best to explain them seriously. In any case, there is no need for "misunderstandings" between us."

"In short, the fact that I omitted earlier is this: when everyone successfully establishes a connection with the imaginary side, the probability that this world bubble can be naturally connected back there is not high.

And even if we can do that... since there is no available anchor point, the world bubble will only be forcibly merged by the original world. This means that Prometheus and I will most likely disappear. "

"Just...disappear?"

Kiana glanced at Enosia, then looked at the bridge that was repaired by Silin.

“Remember what that bridge looked like before?

When this world bubble became a "tool", the "intact state" of the bridge conflicted with the corresponding "collapsed state" in the intrinsic world, and the result is just as you can see.

...Miss Xilin's ability to contact her comrades outside should be directly related to the use of the power of the Herrscher of the Void to repair the bridge, right?"

"Yes. Yulan Dell said that from the perspective of three-dimensional space, we are actually in the same position on the moon."

“As it should be. Kevin’s act of sealing you all here with the help of the Stigmata Project will itself cause the world bubble to ‘float’ and bring about results like this.

In fact, even the core of our current plan, the Void Tree God Skeleton...it itself only appeared because the Stigmata Project chose our world bubble. "

"...Wait. In other words, even if we do nothing, this bubble of world will eventually "merge" with the outside world?"

"That's right. In that case, you can also return to the real moon - but by that time, the Stigmata Project will most likely be completely completed, and your Herrscher Core may have been completely deactivated. You see... for you, the fate of this world bubble itself is indeed not the point, right?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge could not bear to listen any longer. She clenched her fists and glared at Mei:

"Huh? That's nothing. You mean... you want us to treat you as tools just like that world snake?"

"How you view us is up to you. But the reality is clear - whether you are facing Kevin personally or the Stigma Project, time is your enemy.

"You... you're always like this, right? No matter to others, to Kevin, or to yourself - you're always the same cold-blooded and ruthless."

"Excessive emotions are harmful to my work. ... Imagine a general living in a war era. If he is competent, he must love every one of his soldiers deeply."

"But despite this, when calculating troops and arranging tasks, he must turn these living soldiers into a pile of numbers on paper. Without these tasks, people cannot use the power of science. This is the inevitable contradiction between human nature and reality. And the "fairness" we can achieve lies precisely in treating everyone and everything equally with a unified standard. "

"This……"

"Relax. For your generation, the cruelty you need to face is actually on the other side of the matter. Rather than feeling sad about the fate of "history"... what you should do is to guide the "future", right?"

"I know that this still cannot completely resolve the doubts in your hearts. Why don't you go meet Prometheus first? Some [truths] can only be demonstrated more intuitively by using her [functions]."

Everyone quickly reached a consensus and crossed the broken bridge one after another.
