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

(Switching to Xilin's perspective...)

After regaining consciousness, Xilin found herself in a strange city, with a market-like place in front of her. The sound of car horns, the shouts of vendors on both sides, the sound of bargaining and quarrels... Xilin was stunned for a long time before her brain started to work again.

"So... I've come to the World Bubble? Bella and Enosia might be here too. Let's find them first."

Xilin took a step forward, but within two steps, an out-of-control car rushed into the block. Pedestrians on the road dodged, and only a little girl about 2 or 3 years old was still standing there.

Xilin immediately took action, teleported to the girl's side, and pushed her away. In the corner, a man in a white robe also raised his right hand at this time. Seeing Xilin suddenly teleported, the man in the white robe was startled and then put down his arm.

The out-of-control car continued to move forward until it hit a wall and stopped with a loud bang. The frightened people stretched their necks and started to discuss the matter.

The little girl in Xilin's arms was obviously frightened. As soon as Xilin let go of her, she stumbled into her mother's arms and burst into tears. She was then carried into the fruit shop nearby.

Seeing this scene, Xilin couldn't help but feel emotional. If it was her who was in danger just now... the memories of the past flooded into her mind again, and the scene of her mother passing away in front of her was still vivid in her mind.

But Xilin quickly shook her head, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose. She knew that if she encountered such a thing now, she could cry in the arms of another mother.

"This lady is very skilled. Thank you for saving Sally."

It turned out that the girl's parents were the owners of the fruit shop next door. Seeing that Xilin's eyes were fixed on the apples, he put a bag in her hand.

"Miss, would you like an apple?"

Xilin did not refuse his kindness. She took seven or eight apples and continued to move forward. She heaved a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was staring at her with strange eyes.

"Huh~ It seems no one has discovered that I'm a Herrscher. Haha, it seems that I'm pretty good at hiding myself☆"

Xilin threw the first apple core away and walked forward with a swagger.

"Asphalt roads, fruit shops, schools, cars... Everything in this bubble is no different from the outside world... No, no, why am I shopping when I don't even know where Enosia and Bella are."

After taking another bite of the apple, Xilin patted her face and her expression became serious again. She activated the power of the Herrscher of the Void to sense the space around her.

"...No, Enosia isn't around. Although I can teleport to a place hundreds of kilometers away, I don't know where their coordinates are. How about trying to teleport randomly...No, no."

Xilin immediately rejected this idea. Before coming to the Quantum Sea, Enosia told her: If you enter a strange world, use the power of the Herrscher as little as possible unless it is necessary. Not to mention how conspicuous it would be to see someone suddenly appear on the road, who knows where you will be teleported to without coordinates.

"Well, let's just walk on foot."

Xilin's emotions just became high, but then quickly calmed down. She took another bite of the apple and walked forward.

However, for this city that was both strange and familiar, Xilin was quickly attracted by the people and things on the street, and soon became addicted to shopping again.

As she walked and shopped, Xilin gained a lot of knowledge. Many new things aroused her curiosity, but she regretted that she did not have enough money to buy them.

The city was not very large. When night fell, Xilin judged from the surrounding scenery that she should have arrived at...a place similar to the suburbs, and the population was gradually becoming sparse.

Although as a Herrscher, it would be no problem for me to not eat or sleep, but when I thought about not having eaten Bella's delicious food for a day, I always felt like something was missing.

"The fighting ability of ordinary people in this city is no stronger than that of ordinary residents in Siberia, so Bella and Enosia should be fine... huh?"

A man in a white robe ran past her at an extremely fast speed, and Xilin inexplicably felt a hint of chill.

The next moment, countless searchlights lit up at the same time, and Xilin subconsciously covered her eyes. Several cars appeared from nowhere, and several researchers in white coats and dozens of fully armed soldiers surrounded the two.

"There are actually two Herrschers. What a pleasant surprise..."

The white robe fell off, and in front of Xilin was a girl with white hair and blue eyes and a ponytail. Seeing this face, Xilin's eyes widened immediately.

"You are... Kiana?"

The girl smiled slightly and shook her head.

"I am not her. I am sorry that you have to endure such misfortune because of me. I will activate my power in a moment. You should run as fast as possible, otherwise they will catch you and carry out experiments on you..."

Apparently, the time did not stop when the girls were chatting, as all the armed soldiers raised their rifles and fired at the two.

An ice wall suddenly appeared around the two of them, and the temperature in the air dropped rapidly.

"How could a mere bullet possibly hurt the Herrscher... How is this possible? What kind of bullet is this!?"

After just one round of shooting, the ice wall was shattered. The person who was in the lead and looked like a researcher was holding a weapon that looked like a staff. A strange light passed through her body, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly spread throughout her body.

"The Staff of Lethe... Oberon, you actually used it... I am truly honored."

The girl gave a bitter smile and looked at the confused Xilin as the second ray of light hit her. Her face was full of apology.

"Two precious experimental materials. Today is really my lucky day. Hahaha..."

However, the next moment, his smile froze in place, because Xilin stood there unharmed.

"How is this possible? The connection between the Herrscher Core and Him should have been cut off, so why is she still standing? Go ahead, kill her. I want to take her body back and study it carefully!"

"Snapped."

Xilin snapped her fingers, and hundreds of portals suddenly appeared in the sky, and countless Honkai beasts emerged from them.

At this time, Oberon discovered that the data on the detection instrument had exceeded the limit.

"Over 2000 HW... You... What kind of monster are you!"

Although the bullets of these soldiers were very powerful and could destroy a tank-level Honkai beast with one shot, their firing rate was incredibly slow. They had to reload the chamber after each bullet was fired. Coupled with the huge disparity in numbers, the battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre. Xilin stood there without moving, and the area in front of her turned into a pool of blood.

The battle was over. After confirming that there were only two survivors, Xilin snapped her fingers again and the Honkai beast retreated back to the imaginary space.

Seeing that there was not a single intact corpse in front of her, Xilin's face became extremely cold. When she learned that these people wanted to use her as experimental material, their fate was already determined.

Picking up the Staff of Oblivion, Xilin took the white-haired girl and teleported several times. A few minutes later, the two of them arrived dozens of kilometers away.

At this time, the girl also recovered from her abnormal state.

"I didn't expect you to be so amazing. Thank you."

Xilin, who had always been defeated in fights, finally heard another Herrscher say that she was powerful, and a smug expression immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh, by the way, you just said you're not Kiana, then who are you?"

The white-haired woman smiled bitterly again: "I am a clone created in a laboratory using her genes. My number is K423."

"What about... the Kiana people?"

K423 showed a surprised and puzzled expression, and was stunned for a minute before slowly speaking:

"It seems that you really don't know anything. Three years ago, Kiana... had already died."
