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

Just as Enosia expected, although the commotion below was loud, it soon returned to silence.

"So...even if they attack together, they can only hold out for a short while in front of Kevin?"

"Well, Mei is not familiar with the power of the Herrscher yet, and Bronya... as the third acting Herrscher, she is not qualified to fight against an opponent of Kevin's level... I'm afraid she will be killed in the first second."

"So... I can only let Misterlin give her the cheat herself."

At this time, Bronya was kicked into a dream by Kevin. In the dimness, she saw a new boy lying in a crack on the ground. He struggled and barely got up, realizing that the Spree River was on his left.

This is Berlin. He looked across the river. To the south, in the direction of the Brandenburg Gate, the thick fog formed by the flames rolled back and forth like black mud stained with blood. The streets were full of rubble. Buildings and vehicles, like seriously ill and dying people, spewed out thick smoke from time to time. It was noon. Under the dark sky, death was descending on Berlin.

"That figure is... Walter... Joyce?"

However, before Bronya could see clearly, she had already arrived at that familiar place.

"...Siberia...Why?"

【General, your tank is very powerful, it can destroy forests and crush hundreds of people. But it has a disadvantage: it needs a driver; General, your plane is very powerful, it flies faster than a storm and carries more than an elephant. But it has a disadvantage: it needs a repairman; General, people are very useful, they can fly and kill people. But they have a disadvantage: they can think. 】

"? Why does this sound like... the narration of a story?"

In front of Bronya was a white-haired girl. She knelt in the snow in a daze, letting the blizzard hit her body.

"Senior Cecilia... No, that's not right... She's the same as Dr. Mei, they just look alike..."

"Have I become a 'human'?"

[This is indeed an unprecedented experience... If compared with the "newborns" among humans, she also did not choose to come to this world by her own will, and she is also confused about this and does not know where she should go.

However, unlike a baby, in the first moment after "birth", she already understands language, knows right from wrong, and even knows roughly where she came from. 】

"That's... very interesting."

Putting away her confused look, she began to feel curious about external objects like any other living being.

[Of course, "snow", "machine", "sky"... She fully understands these concepts. But due to her own differences, she has never come into contact with "entities".

Her intuition was so strange. From the perspective of "concept", she knew exactly what temperature, touch, appearance, and even crystallization of snowflakes should be. Although, until this moment, she had never "touched" snowflakes.

Bronya unraveled these words that had no preface and sounded somewhat confusing, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"She... was not born from [reality], but she is born with the ability to know the concept of [reality]..."

The person in front of her was like an afterimage in the world bubble, which disappeared automatically after the playback was finished. Bronya continued to walk forward along the path in the snow, and soon, a familiar lance appeared in front of her.

"Black Abyss and White Flower? In other words... the current time in this space is shortly after the end of the second collapse?"

Continuing forward, Bronya saw that outside a simple but quiet hut, many Honkai beasts died on the spot because they could not withstand her excessive Honkai energy.

[Someone once said - "There is a sense of joy in disaster. It is tempting to destroy everything." For ordinary humans, this desire may be rooted deep in their hearts.

But for this extremely special holy mark of Shaniyat, for its crystallization, its "idea"... She turned her head and looked at the place where she was born, at the path she had traveled - with a look of despair, with a shrill and almost inaudible tremor.

In order to find out what had happened before, she followed the path and explored her own origins, but... she was unable to heal the disaster from the beginning.

Because...she is the disaster itself. 】

"What?! Shaniyat's Holy Mark Crystal..."

Putting all the clues together, Bronya quickly came up with the answer.

"She is... a cadre of the World Serpent, the executor of the Stigmata Project, codenamed [Feather Rabbit], Mistrin Shaniat."

"Maxim? Vladimir? ... Is that you?"

A woman's voice came from the simple cabin. Bronya followed Mistrin and walked into the house.

"She was already on the verge of death, and didn't really realize who the person was. The name that the other person kept repeating might just be the person that she thought of as someone who could take her out of hell when she realized that death was approaching..."

"What a pity... In the end, the person I waited for... was actually me, the 'culprit'."

In the darkness, Misterlin injected power into the man who was still mumbling. Perhaps he could still struggle for a while... but after that, he would probably just die quickly.

"Just for a glimmer of hope that never came, I unilaterally disturbed the peace of the victims and let them die as monsters... If there is indeed a "hell", I am afraid I will stay there forever after I die."

Thinking of the concept of "afterlife", her eyes brightened again. In the darkness, she "felt" a sharp hatchet on the table. Obviously, in the harsh living environment of Siberia, such a sharp knife can be used in many ways.

Touching her throat that would not leave a single scar, Misterlin wondered at what angle to cut this time.

"Although I have tried it before, this method cannot kill me..."

[But just like she repeatedly awakened the stigmata of others, she would keep trying to destroy herself as long as there was a glimmer of possibility. And it was this persistence that made her ignore some other "abnormalities."]

[For example... why until now, she still hasn't heard the horrific sound made when humans turned into dead soldiers? ]

"Put the knife down first, okay? I don't know what happened, and I'm probably not qualified to persuade you.

...But only by surviving can we wait for a turnaround, right?"

The lights suddenly came on, and seeing the sick but still energetic woman on the bed, Bronya and Misterlin showed expressions of surprise in unison.

Misterlin was surprised that the Honkai energy that could kill Honkai beasts was ineffective against her. And Bronya...was because of that face and that Roman curly hairstyle.

"She is... Bronya's... mother..."
