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

January 2000, 2 AD

In the Crimean Peninsula, Enosiya looked at the unconscious Silin and Benares and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I made the right bet. Even if the Immortal is not here for the time being, Otto will do everything he can to let Xilin escape. Since you are here, it means that I won the bet."

Enosia took out the core of the Herrscher of Thunder, and as soon as it touched Xilin's body, she absorbed it. Xilin's breathing gradually became stable.

"Oh, she was able to absorb other Herrscher cores without any difficulty without the help of Honkai Will? It seems that with her physique, she is born to be a Herrscher."

"Since the Immortal is not here, as long as we don't show up, there is no way for Destiny to find us, and the second collapse should be over. I don't want to watch Xilin and Destiny fight each other to the point of both being injured, while the culprit Otto can live for another 17 years."

Thinking of Otto, Enosia sighed helplessly. Thinking of Lao Yang, thinking of Xilin, thinking of what Otto had done, her heart was filled with anger. But she had to admit that the world needed him, at least for now. Theresa was only in her twenties now, and she probably didn't have the ability to control the entire destiny. If Otto died now, I'm afraid the destiny would continue to split, and maybe even go to war. There are still nine Herrschers behind. If the destiny splits and the immortal disappears, I'm afraid even the Stigma Plan can't be implemented.

"But hiding here and there is no solution... Can I negotiate with Otto and ask him to release Xilin... Although I am qualified to negotiate with him, there is no need to negotiate. First of all, he agreed to my conditions ≠ he will abide by them. You can believe in Otto's pure love, but you can never trust his character. For him, betrayal is as easy as eating and drinking. There is no practical significance in any negotiation.

"Secondly, I was just a bad college student in my previous life, and he is a wise man who has lived for more than 500 years. With my limited weight, I am afraid that if I negotiate with him, I will fall into his trap in a few seconds. I might even be sold out by him and still help him count the money."

"But I have information gaps. I know that the purpose of everything he does is to revive Kallen. Maybe... No, since his purpose is to revive Kallen, even if he is not guided by the will of Honkai, he probably understands that the dead cannot be resurrected anyway. The world allows consciousness to match new containers, but does not allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness. This is the iron law of this world. With his brain, it is probably only a matter of time before he thinks of a roundabout way to save the country and open a new timeline. Once he chooses to do this, he will need a Herrscher of the Void who is full of hatred for him..."

After weighing the pros and cons, Enosia gave up looking for Otto. Now he was in the light while she was in the dark. He didn't know that there was already a Herrscher of Corrosion in the world, which made it easier for her to do things.

“…Hiss, he has Void Ten Thousand Treasures. I made such a big fuss before, I’m afraid he has guessed it. But fortunately, I seem to be able to change my appearance by editing my own data, so he shouldn’t be able to find me.”

At the same time, inside the Tower of Babylon, the roar of Dr. Lobster Head was heard:

"You jerk, it's been two days. You should think of a solution. If it weren't for the sneak attack from that guy who came out of nowhere, Joachim would have taken down the Second Herrscher long ago. Damn it, move!" Tesla typed desperately on the keyboard, but there was still no response.

"Dr. Tesla, there's no use being anxious." Einstein took a sip of water and slowly walked to the side of Old Yang who was lying on the bed.

"Alliance leader, how do you feel?"

It was naturally a very bad feeling to be stabbed in the back by Otto, the kidney-killer. Even though he was the Herrscher of Reason, he could feel that his recovery was very limited.

"It's not a big deal. This might be an opportunity. Next time when we meet the Herrscher of the Sky, if she and I can be more patient, we might be able to avoid a fight."

"Joachim, you are in this state and still thinking about others. You should recover your body first." Tesla also came over, holding an apple that had been peeled at some point, but it looked quite modern and artistic.

"Ms. Theresa, how is Tianming doing?" Seeing Tesla coming to take care of Lao Yang, he took the initiative to step out from between the two of them and looked at Theresa on the side.

"Just like Anti-Entropy, almost all electronic equipment is paralyzed. Even the stolen Herrscher of Thunder core equipment at the headquarters has no response. In the case of electronic equipment failure, it is undoubtedly nonsense to rely solely on manpower to find a Herrscher who can change his position at any time. Two days have passed, and we don’t know how the Herrscher has recovered. If we search in batches, there is a risk of being defeated one by one."

Einstein thought for a moment, then said:

"According to the information left by the previous civilization, the only one who could do this in such a short time should be the 12th Herrscher of the previous civilization, the Corrosion Herrscher. However, since it has the ability to paralyze the electronic equipment of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, it did not control the weapons to destroy the city. Everything it did seemed to help Xilin escape from Destiny's capture..."

The current civilization's understanding of the Herrscher comes almost entirely from the information left by the previous civilization. There are not many records of the previous civilization about the Herrscher, so the current civilization's understanding of it is also very limited.

"Hey, Jiwotou, the communication is restored, and our call to New York is connected!" Just when everyone was at a loss, Tesla's cell phone suddenly rang.

"It's the same here... Grandpa, um, I'm fine... I'm still in the Tower of Babylon, right... Okay."

"The headquarters has also returned to normal. Although there was chaos for a while, there was no loss of life or casualties except for the missing Herrscher of Thunder core. Grandpa and the doctor both speculated that it was the Herrscher of Corrosion who did it."

"Great, what Herrscher? After all this fuss, it turns out this is all he can do. I'll find the second Herrscher." Tesla came to the monitor as soon as the equipment was restored and typed quickly, but as time went on, her smile gradually disappeared.

"Dr. Tesla, what's wrong?"

"This... this is impossible. How could the second Herrscher's reaction just disappear from the map!"

Whether it was destiny or anti-entropy, how could they find out in advance that someone had become a Herrscher before they showed any superpowers? Of course, it was through detection instruments. If all the instruments in the world that could monitor indicators related to Herrschers had problems, as long as Enosia and Sirin did not use the power of Herrschers in front of others, they would naturally not be recognized as Herrschers.

This is why Enosia could swagger away from the Destiny Headquarters with the Core of the Herrscher of Thunder, and the equipment could not detect it. When she met the Valkyries, she could project her consciousness onto them, control their bodies for a short time and then erase the memories related to herself. As long as she did not face Cecilia, Otto and Fu Hua head-on, the Destiny Headquarters could come and go as they pleased.

After all, there was the Herrscher behind them. If Enosia really allowed these devices to remain paralyzed, she would become an accomplice of the collapse. So she spent a lot of time adding a whitelist to the programs of all the detection devices in the world. As long as the target of the detection was herself, Silin, and of course Benares, no matter how the detection was done, the Herrscher reaction would not be detected.
