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

Theresa's previous experience was both simple and difficult.

After the artificial collapse began, she, like Fu Hua, persisted in front of the demon Kevin for about three minutes before being kicked back into her dream by him. When Theresa regained consciousness and began to explore, she mistakenly entered a space full of imaginary creations. Fortunately, Xilin discovered it in time, and Theresa returned to reality before she was exhausted.

"So... after so many things happened, I, as the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate, should have been the leader directing everyone's actions, but I ended up becoming the object of everyone's worry. It's really..."

"In short, our current goal, in simple terms, is to [cross the end]. To do this, we need to have enough power to defeat Kevin, and... a way to destroy the Stigmata Project."

Soon, everyone received communications from several doctors.

"It just so happens that during the time you all returned to St. Freya Academy and rescued Ms. Theresa, we also made some breakthroughs in our research... If I want to explain it clearly, I have to start from the beginning."

"According to what Kevin said to Fu Hua, the power of the end is "time". Because the core of the Herrscher, the imaginary singularity, is already the "fixed point" of the imaginary space...

Therefore, once "time" is included in this system, we can only conclude that... "The Herrscher of the End" will not be affected by any changes in time and space in some form."

"Wait, Doctor, doesn't this create a bigger contradiction? If the End is not affected by time, how can the Stigmata Project affect it through time and seize its power?"

"From this perspective, it is indeed contradictory. But what if... the Stigmata Project, after all, is an existence that is mutually exclusive with the "End"? "

"?"

"After learning about Kevin's attitude from Fu Hua, I was very confused about one thing... Why did Kevin think that as long as the Stigmata Plan was implemented, it would "definitely" defeat the Honkai?"

"Isn't it because 'if you can't beat them, join them'?"

"So why does Honkai need us to join?"

"Kevin said that Honkai Impact is a kind of 'hug'... Wait."

Fu Hua seemed to realize something.

"We still don't know what the so-called 'cocoon' is... but following the previous line of thought, we can guess that it should be a 'template'. The Stigmata Project assimilates reality and imaginary space, probably in an attempt to use a 'cutting the feet to fit the shoes' approach to make the 'human beings' they define in sync with the end."

...If all of the above assumptions are true, then the power of the End that Kevin carries will inevitably be shared by all humans one day. By then, all surviving new humans will be attached to the "shadow" called "The End" - although, if it really comes to this, He will most likely be harmless. "

"In other words, if we use 'new humans' to correspond to the puppets of the Ruler of Domination, then the Stigmata Project itself is building a 'Theatre of Domination'? No. The Stigmata Project cannot directly control the Stigmata Awakeners, and the World Serpent does not seem to think that they will eventually lose their freedom.

So, this actually means... the old humans are treated as "foundation" like puppets, and the new humans are actually equivalent to "Otto"? "

"Yes. But this is just a metaphor after all, so it is inevitable that there are some inappropriate parts..."

Listening to the exchange between the doctors, Xilin's eyelids became heavy as if by reflex. She had just gotten up not long ago, but she almost fell asleep again before Dr. Einstein finished his introduction. Bella, who was behind her, saw that the situation was not good, and together with Enosia, she supported Xilin and prevented her from falling to the ground.

"Um... Doctor, can you briefly explain what we need to do next in words that Sister Xilin can understand?"

Dr. Einstein was speechless for a moment. As for Xilin, who used the power of the Herrscher entirely by the "power of my thinking" and could hardly understand the professional terms, she was unable to overcome the language barrier.

"In short, we now need to do two things: let someone evolve into the Herrscher of the End to improve the overall combat power, and destroy the Stigmata Plan. The former requires someone to receive the other 12 Herrscher powers at the same time.

The latter needs to be done in two steps. The first step is to control more areas of the earth, just like taking back St. Freya Academy, to slow down the invasion of imaginary numbers. The second step is to find a way to enter the dream world and wake up the sleeping people. "

"Hey, Enosia, why are you..."

"How do I know what you are going to say next and the conclusion you will draw in the end? Doctors, since your research is too complicated, the experimental data, reasoning process and experimental results are all recorded in the database of Destiny or Anti-Entropy."

"Since we can still communicate normally now, my clone and I can certainly get in touch."

"...Well, since Ms. Enosia has said so... let's just ask questions about the things we don't understand. Changguang and I will prepare for [Retaking Earth]."

After the communication was temporarily interrupted, Kiana and others were still confused.

"So... Ino, what should we do next to [retake Earth]?"

"Since the Stigmata Project is essentially about exchanging stigmata with humans, then... we need to find a way to enter the stigmata space to solve the problem. The stigmata spaces that can be actively entered... the most convenient ones are currently only the Kaslana family and the Shanyat family, so... the next people who need to carry out the mission are you, Kiana, Yulan Dell... and Theresa."

"While the doctors are preparing, you can take adequate rest, especially Youlan Dell."

This time, Youlan Dell did not reject everyone's kindness, and sat down and began to rest his eyes. While the others were on standby, they observed the surrounding situation vigilantly.

A few hours later, the next step officially began. Changguang used the Thousand Realms to create a space rift.

Soon, the "Virtual Tree God's Corpse" in the crack was defeated, and the "artificial battlefield" gained temporary absolute peace. The two Valkyries who were about to build a position for "retaking the earth" had already prepared for this moment.

“Although not long ago, I tried to use the Black Abyss White Flower to guide Shaniyate’s stigma power for the first time to deal with the obstacles created for us by the stigma space—

However, perhaps because the current Stigmata Project was also created by a "Shaniat"... In terms of actual results, this method can achieve even better results than directly using the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle. "

"So, the One Thousand Worlds is directing our power from the outside, trying to expand our sphere of influence?"

Yes. Although the process of "retaking the Earth" is bound to be very long... but as the saying goes, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - I believe that it will not be more difficult than walking back to Earth from the moon.

"...As expected of you. Then, without further ado, shall we officially begin?"

"Ah."

Youlan Dell raised the Black Abyss White Flower above his head and suddenly chanted:

"With the power of the Heavenly Element, I will take on a role similar to that of a holy sword... I will manipulate the world and anchor it to you, the heir of the stigmata space of Kaslana. Black Abyss White Flower - please serve as the key and guide the true power of the stigmata."

"I am the black that is bound for hell, I am the white that comes from heaven; I was born before the creation of the world, and I exist after annihilation; I will turn the world upside down and bring order back to the world. The key of creation, the black abyss white flower, the second rated power... The holy spear goes against the current, and is released beyond the limit!"
