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

Bronya was with Seele, and they were discussing what had happened before.

"After Sister Bronya went with everyone to fight Kevin, I didn't want to just stand there and do nothing, so I started exploring. As a result, I was very lucky to find the other me who had lost contact..."

"Well, Bronya also felt the power of Seele twice..."

"Sister Bronya, you seem to have something else to say."

"...Xier, have you seen your mother... a long time ago?"

"...Well, after I came out of the Quantum Sea, I already...met Aunt Alexandra."

Bronya patted Seele's head.

"Bronya didn't mean to blame Seele. Seele chose to hide the truth from Bronya. It was probably her mother's idea."

"Yes. That's what the First Hatagi meant. She said that only by allowing Bronya to complete her transformation can she make up for her guilt."

"As expected... But as expected, every time Xi'er is in trouble and doesn't know what to say, you will take the initiative to help, [Xi'er]."

"Ah? What nonsense are you talking about? It was obviously her who had to let me out for some fresh air at this time..."

"...That's good. After all, this is only our second time 'acting together', right?"

"It's been three times already... idiot. The second time we "acted together" was in Klosten. At that time, in order to build the Moonlight Throne, you overdrew your body and mind, and you were as limp as if you had lost your bones in Xi'er's arms. No matter how I called you, you couldn't wake up."

"Seele was anxious and helpless... I just couldn't bear to see her like that, so I came out reluctantly and helped you. After that, you called out "Seele" in a daze. To be honest, Bronya... were you really clear at that time which "Seele" you were calling?"

"Ha ha……"

"Uh. What are you laughing at?"

"Bronya is just a little surprised that you actually included that time. However, since you just happened to mention it - that time, Bronya did feel the power of two Seeles. Although it's a little late, but... Thank you, Seele."

"You...what's wrong with you? Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about this mess."

"...Bronya."

"?"

"Seele really wants to share what happened on the moon with her "Sister Bronya", but she can never find the right opportunity.

For example, she woke up in the shelter of New Atla, and before she knew what was going on, she had to look for her companions on her own, and even helped some strangers...

And after you entered the deep pit, she was obviously more worried than anyone else, but she never showed any abnormality in front of others. She just silently did everything she could.

That child... has really grown up. How should I put it... Many times, my absence is actually a better help to her."

"So... this is why you haven't shown up yet?"

"Why, do you want to see me so much?"

"Well, Bronya said that you are all Seele."

"... Never mind. It's up to you. We still have work to do... Wait, the person in front is..."

The girl who was lying on the side saw the two of them and stood up excitedly.

"Ms. Bronya, Ms. Seele? I... I am not dreaming, am I? You... are here to save me, right?"

"...Don't be silly, Susanna. Rather, why are you from the Destiny Headquarters here?"

"I... I'm not sure either. I took a nap at my workplace before. I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes again, I would be in this legendary Haiyuan City."

"You know this place?"

"Yes. Alvette... and Lord Yulandel both told me about this place."

"Compared to this... you look like... you are trying to move these supplies?"

"Yes. I mustered up the courage to walk around here before, but I didn't meet anyone... The communication equipment here is all broken, and only the daily necessities seem to be sufficient. But the warehouse is cold and damp. If I want to stay here for a while, I can only choose another place to build my own camp."

"...This is really hard work for you."

"No, no, I'm actually still at the stage of finding fabric for the hammock. Besides... aren't you guys here to rescue me?"

"You! You said it all..."

Bronya stopped Hei Xi and briefly introduced Susanna to what happened on the moon.

"Hey... Hey? But... if that's the case... why was I teleported here?"

"Bronya couldn't figure it out either. Susanna, you said you "took a nap at work" before you appeared here. What's going on?"

"Ah, that's to help Master Changguang prepare for the experiment! Not long ago, Tianming just completed the repair work of "One Thousand Worlds"."

"Before we start a new experiment, we need someone to clean the interior of the Key of God to make sure there is nothing left inside that would interfere with the experiment. To be honest, there is no air circulation in there, and it's stuffy and hot... I just wanted to take a break because I was tired of lifting my arms, but I accidentally fell asleep."

"...and then you woke up and found yourself here?"

"Yes. Could it be that the power of the Key of God is somewhere in the dark..."

"…There may be other, simpler reasons for this. But we don't have enough evidence at the moment, and discussing it may just be a waste of time. You mentioned before that "all the communication equipment here is broken", so what's the situation?"

"Ah. I have done some simple tests on this. It seems that some integrated circuits in the equipment are burned out. I thought that after repairing them, I could restore contact with the outside world..."

(Is this also one of the effects of the Stigmata Project... or is it...)

"So, Bronya - aren't you a Herrscher of Reason? Repairing something like this should be easy for you, right?"

"Huh? Is that so?"

"No, Bronya is not completely sure. But... we can give it a try."

"...I see. Although the exterior is intact, the key components inside are extremely badly damaged. Hmm. Under normal circumstances, there is definitely no hope of repairing it... However, with the new state of the Herrscher of Reason, it may not be difficult to repair it."

"really?"

"Don't expect too much. This is also the first time Bronya has tried this."

The girl then held her breath and concentrated, using her intuition of "truth" to feel the structure of the entire machine.

"AND", "OR", "NOT" and "XOR" - modern integrated circuits are the physical result of superimposing these four logical operations trillions of times.

If there was a program error in the machine, then Enosia could repair it with a flick of her finger, but she was not able to repair the electronic chip that had been severely burned. All she and others could do was replace it with ready-made parts.

But the perfect Ruler of Reason...her uniqueness lies precisely in the fact that she can "cook without rice."

“Ah—it’s started!”

"It seems that everything is going well."

"But even so, this machine doesn't seem to be of much use. The entire Earth space is being reorganized by the Stigmata Project. Who can ordinary communication equipment contact?"

"750...620...570...ah, I found it. There is channel 495 on this instrument!"

"What on earth are you looking for?"

"Channel 495! This is a special channel used by Bishop Otto and Professor Planck to avoid accidental conflict during the confrontation between Destiny and Anti-Entropy. It is also called the 'Atlantic Telephone'!"

"…What do these two people from the past have to do with us now?"

"Because as long as the Destiny Headquarters is still operating, the people there may be able to establish contact with us through Channel 495!"

"what?"

Ignoring the black-haired girl's surprise, the B-class Destiny Valkyrie quickly operated the communication device that was originally anti-entropy. The results of her work were immediately presented after about three minutes.

"Suzanna? Is it really you? And you're with Kiana and the others?!"

"You are...Alvette of the Undying Blade?"

"Of course! The only designated tool of destiny, reporting here!"

"You have already roughly understood our situation through Susanna's description... What is the situation at the Destiny Headquarters like now?"

"In order to maintain the existence of the Destiny Headquarters under the sudden spatial anomaly, Lady Rita, Lady Changguang, and Lady Amber are all commanding on the front line to ensure that the defense against the invasion of imaginary numbers is foolproof. In addition, in terms of anti-entropy, we have also established basic contact with the Salt Lake Base. Currently, Mr. Walter, Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla and others are fighting there."

"...What about Theresa? Do you know anything about her situation?"

"No. Bishop Theresa is still missing. We can't even detect whether she has returned from space. Moreover, in the Salt Lake Base, besides Seele, Rosalia and Lilia are also missing...

Judging from the surveillance footage, they sneaked out of the Salt Lake Base ten minutes before the space mutation occurred. According to the analysis of their lip movements by artificial intelligence, the two of them should have planned to secretly go to a convenience store to buy cakes. "

"These two idiots!"

"...Xier, venting your emotions now may not help. Yalvette - under the current circumstances, we need to arrange a three-party meeting between Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and us in Haiyuan City. Can you arrange it?"

"I'll do everything I can to find a solution!"

"Then, without further ado - Susanna, you stay here and continue to communicate with Alvette. Xier and I will go and notify the others separately. We will try to organize a three-party meeting in half an hour. Is everyone okay?"

"Yes, no problem! This is also to welcome Lady Youlan Daier and Lady Su Shang!

"... As long as destiny and anti-entropy can bring people together, it's fine, right? However, this should be called "Don't judge a person by his appearance"... Susanna, you really did a great job. "

"——Xi'er, be polite."

"Tsk.

... "Everyone has their own strengths", okay?"

Thirty minutes later, Einstein's voice came from the communicator.

"Although the core members of Tianming and Anti-Entropy cannot all be present for the time being...but under the current situation, having such a tripartite meeting is already extremely valuable."

"Okay, Jiwotou, don't be polite - let's get down to business."

"Then how about letting Dr. Tesla preside over this meeting? This should ensure simplicity and efficiency.

"...Okay, it doesn't matter if I say a few more words. Kiana... the people gathered in Haiyuan City now include you, Mei, Bronya, Fu Hua, Seele, the Herrscher of Knowledge, Reina, Bella, Sirin, Enosia, and Susanna who appeared there for some reason. Is this correct?"

"Yes, it is like that."

"Based on the basic information we synchronized with each other before, most of you were previously sealed on the moon by the Stigmata Project, and finally returned to Earth through the "Star Gate" of the previous civilization and arrived at Haiyuan City."

"However, if this alone is the case, it is not enough to explain the status of Haiyuan City... For example, can anyone from Tianming explain how Susanna appeared there?"

"Report to Senior Tesla! I sent Susanna over via the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle!"

"Oh, so it was you who did it. Changguang, wait, Thousand Worlds One Vehicle? Isn't that thing very difficult to activate? How could it be such a coincidence?"

"At that time, we were planning to conduct some experiments related to the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, and Susanna was in charge of cleaning the inner cavity of the Key of God. When the changes in the space began to occur, due to the urgency of the situation, I did not have time to notify Susanna or others, so I let the Key of God autonomously choose the most stable space on Earth and launched her first...

After all, as you can see now, due to the huge scale of the Stigmata Project, we have temporarily lost the opportunity to use this Divine Key."

"...I always feel like you've omitted something. But anyway - at a time when the "imaginary invasion" is spreading across the surface of the earth, Haiyuan City, which is closely related to the Quantum Sea, is indeed a rare stable place. However, the problem now may be that... its stability may also become an obstacle for you in some aspects. "

"why is that?"

"We can't just keep retreating and defending like we are now. The ultimate goal of Anti-Entropy and Destiny is, of course, to retake the normal world. Under this premise, Haiyuan City is a very bad place to serve as a forward base.

From the perspective of imaginary space, it is too far away from the "front line" and is more suitable to exist as a "rear area" rather than a "front line."

"Then, St. Freya Academy is a good choice."

Enosia and Silin also joined the conversation.

"Aino, you guys..."

"Well, although I failed to find a way to enter the dream, Xilin found a relatively stable place in the extremely unstable space, which is St. Freya Academy."
