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

Enosiya appeared in front of Xilin at some point. Apparently, he was watching the whole conversation between Xilin and Bella.

"You...I don't believe it."

Looking at Xilin's puffy cheeks, Enosiya couldn't help but step forward and pinch them.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Cecilia's words changed you. So your words can change me, right?"

"I accept the previous criticism humbly, but you must not say anything careless in the end. The relationship between you and Cecilia is mutual. Currently, you are the only one who can take care of her as her daughter. Maybe when you meet Theresa and Siegfried in the future, they will thank you for taking good care of her. You did not destroy her family, but instead added glory to it."

Xilin still had a gloomy face: "Humph, what you said makes sense, but in the end..."

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, Bella fell to the ground. Xilin immediately stepped forward and helped her up.

"I am the most important in the Queen's heart... I can... stay... by the Queen's... side... my whole life... hehehe..."

Because Xilin's mind was basically on Enosiya just now, she didn't notice Bella's expression changed drastically. Xilin's words just now made Bella faint with happiness, and her nose blood flowed to the floor.

Soon, Bella woke up from Eden's couch.

"My Queen, I'm sorry, I... I'm just too happy."

Deep in Bella's eyes, she still couldn't hide the joy in her heart.

"Alicia is still waiting for me, see you later." After saying this, Enosiya disappeared from the spot and returned to Alicia's room.

--------

"It seems that Xilin's heartfelt words have touched you deeply."

As soon as Enosiya returned to the room, she was pushed down on a stool by Alicia, who stood behind her and played with her hair.

"Of course, words from the heart can touch me to some extent. I accept criticism, but I may not change. After all, if words can make a person change drastically, then obsession will no longer be an obsession."

At this time, a hair was pulled out by Alicia. She picked up the blue hair and compared it carefully with her pink hair. Naturally, she couldn't see anything.

"I'm curious... Why are you so afraid of ruining the relationships between other people? You're such a good girl, and Xilin and I are both very kind and strong people."

Alicia combed her hair, then picked up a rubber band and tied her hair into two ponytails. After taking a closer look, she shook her head in dissatisfaction and let her hair down again.

"Alicia, do you think people are equal?"

The sudden serious topic made Alicia freeze in place, and her hands stopped moving.

Enosia didn't wait for Alicia to answer and continued speaking:

"Equality has become a goal that countless people strive to achieve, which means that inequality exists everywhere. Take fighting Honkai for example. Not to mention ordinary people, even an ordinary soldier with a pistol or something like that has no 100% certainty of killing a charge-level Honkai beast in a one-on-one battle. However, a B-rank Valkyrie can kill a tank-level Honkai beast that is taller than a building in a one-on-one battle."

"But when facing emperor-level Honkai beasts like Pavanti and Ashwa, B-rank Valkyrie would be vulnerable. For Herrschers like us, killing an emperor-level Honkai beast is just a matter of moving our fingers."

"So in terms of ability, people are very different. Some people spend their entire lives worrying about what to eat next, while others are born with the ability to subvert the laws of physics and destroy a city with ease... From this perspective, people can never be equal."

"So, regardless of ability, are people equal in spirit? People like you who love everyone would certainly think so, but unfortunately, judging from the actual situation of human beings, this is obviously not the case. If people were equal in spirit, there wouldn't be so much inexplicable discrimination in the world."

"But that is the perspective of ordinary people. From my personal perspective, no matter what their background is, everyone is equal in spirit. Because every human soul is equally weak."

"No matter if it's an S-rank Valkyrie like Cecilia or an unarmed civilian; no matter if it's a commoner in the slums or a wealthy person in a luxurious villa. As long as I want, I can ignore their free will and modify their cognition, defining what is right and what is wrong for them."

"The degree of intimacy between people essentially depends on how each party perceives the other. To put it more romantically, it depends on the collision between two souls. All people's souls are equally fragile, and I am the person in the world who is most likely to inadvertently distort other people's souls. I may accidentally turn one person into another person. This... I am the best example."

"Therefore, for me, the more I want to maintain a relationship, the more I should keep a certain distance. Otherwise, one day... they might be corrupted by me unintentionally..."

"But it is precisely because of the fragility of the individual soul that people embrace each other and establish various intimate relationships?"

Alicia smiled faintly, took out a wreath from somewhere and put it on her head.

"The first lightning, the first flame, everything that makes human progress, all started with fear. The more you fear that others will be eroded by you, the more likely they will be hurt unintentionally. Only by facing erosion can you find a way to defeat it... There must always be someone who takes the lead?"

"Ellie, I understand what you said, but...but..."

"But you're still worried that the first person to eat the crab might end up being poisoned instead of a crab? That doesn't matter. When Mobius is researching new biotechnology, he always experiments on himself first. So... I don't mind being the first person to be corrupted, okay?"

"No, absolutely not!" As soon as Alicia said this, alarm bells suddenly rang in Enosiya's head, and bad memories came to her mind.

"You are right. Escape is not the solution to the problem. Only by facing the erosion can we find a way to avoid being eroded... But you must not be the first one to try!"

Not all human beings are worth saving. Let heroes become victims on the road of humanity, and let talentless and immoral trash become the beneficiaries of human progress. Enosiya will never agree with such an arrangement!

"...But since you want to change, shouldn't you take some action? For example...get closer to me, have a closer relationship with me, and be more proactive when you're with me?"

Enosiya stood up and took the initiative to hug Alicia

"Thank you, sister."
