Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

My thoughts shifted dramatically.

--run.

Without the slightest hesitation, she chose a strategic retreat, at least to escape this desert, otherwise she would face two former heroes of the civilization, and there was someone inside her who wanted to devour her.

Frontal combat.

It’s hard not to die.

"Hua, let me see you at your peak," Möbius said to Hua in the distance.

Then, Fu Hua nodded slightly, caught up with the fleeing Herrscher of Corruption, and began an unfair battle.

One is a hero who has recovered to his full strength, and the other is a former civilization's herald who has experienced a weakening of his power and is in an extremely unfavorable environment.

The battle situation was almost one-sided.

The desert sands stretched endlessly, and the Corruptor Herrscher kept fleeing, relentlessly pursued by Fu Hua.

There is no way to heaven and no way to earth.

"Damn it!" The Corruptor gritted her teeth, realizing she couldn't shake off Fu Hua's pursuit, and couldn't help but retaliate against her.

However, the swung blade was easily dodged, and Fu Hua even knocked him away with a single, powerful strike.

As for her power to erode and infect, the former civilization's hero, for some reason, also possessed similar powers.

This prevented her from eroding Fu Hua's existence at all.

This means she has to directly compete with Fu Hua in terms of strength and combat skills, but she is not as strong as Fu Hua in this aspect.

If it weren't for the fact that the concerns of this former civilization's hero had harmed the body she occupied, she might already be facing a life-threatening crisis.

Frustration, an unprecedented sense of frustration.

Having been sealed away for 50,000 years, and finally revived, only to be brutally beaten, it was incredibly frustrating.

"Hua, keep going!"

In the distance, Möbius waved her slender hand and loudly encouraged Fu Hua.

Fu Hua seemed to be encouraged as well, and she beat the Corruption Herrscher with even more force, making the Corruption Herrscher's situation even more difficult.

"Human, I'll kill you first!" The Herrscher of Corruption's delicate face revealed anger and resentment as she turned and charged towards Mebius.

Since she can't beat Fu Hua and the other party won't kill her, she'll take out the most hated person, Mebius, first.

At the very least, they should arrest Mebius as a bargaining chip to escape.

“Didn’t I tell you, your opponent isn’t me?” Mebius shook his head and pointed to the sand dune behind her, where the strongest Valkyrie, who had been waiting, stepped out holding the Black Abyss White Flower.

She stood defiantly in front of Mebius.

Upon seeing this, the Corruptor paused, then immediately turned and ran, as escaping was more important.

Once she survives... she'll seek revenge on Mebius.

However, the outcome was already predetermined. Even the Herrschers of the previous civilization were powerless to reverse the situation; the only result was defeat and death.

Night falls.

The desert sky is clear, with countless stars filling the night sky, and the gentle moonlight gently nourishes the desert that has been scorched by the daytime sun.

"...Is this my end?" The Herrscher of Corruption slumped down on the desert floor, her clothes tattered, staring blankly at the starry sky.

She was exhausted... unable to fight any longer, and the last bit of her strength was about to be completely devoured by the entity within her.

Death is an inevitable fact.

Meanwhile, Fu Hua and Cecilia, who were standing nearby, did not continue their attack. Their main objective was to prevent the Herrscher of Corruption from leaving the desert.

Then, let Theresa use Vishnu's power to completely devour everything that corrupts the Herrscher.

This allowed Theresa's life to evolve.

And just then.

“Rin, you are no longer... worthy of being called a Herrscher.” Mebius walked over. “You only have consciousness, you don’t have the ability to erode or infect, you are just a girl.”

"Make your move." The Corruptor said nothing more, closed her eyes, and prepared to face her final fate.

However, the devouring power within her body remained inactive, even though it could have completely devoured her last vestiges of consciousness with just a little effort.

To accomplish the great feat of killing the Herrscher.

"Rin, do you want to see Sakura?" Mebius asked the Herrscher of Corruption. "Now that you no longer possess the abilities of corruption and infection, you are harmless. I can let you... go see her?"

At this point, the power of the Corrupting Herrscher had been completely taken over by Theresa, with only... memories of Rin remaining.

To give an example, it's like when Theresa, after seizing the power of corruption, invoked... no, or rather, preserved documents about the Bell of the previous civilization.

Otherwise, the Herrscher of Corruption would already be completely dead by now.

"Sister?" The Herrscher of Corruption... no, it was Rin, who stood frozen in place, asking Mebius, "Why did you do that?"

"To give the story a happy ending," Möbius smiled at Bell, "that's all, don't worry too much."

Chapter 45

Complete evolution

World Serpent.

underground.

In the paradise of the past.

"...You're 'Mébius's' lover?" The beautiful pink-haired girl, with her hands behind her back, looked at Theresa with curiosity and asked, "What an adorable girl."

She nodded to herself.

"Hmm, I understand Möbius's thinking a little better now."

"Excuse me, what is your relationship with... Möbius?" Theresa subconsciously took a step back and asked the enthusiastic girl.

When she uploaded the consciousness of "Ling" to the Paradise of the Past, she herself inevitably entered this space.

The enthusiastic pink-haired girl opposite her was the first person she met, and the other person seemed to be very familiar with Mebius.

It felt like we'd known each other for years.

"Um, about that." The beautiful girl with pink hair didn't answer directly, but turned to look at the door of the conference room.

There, a girl who looked remarkably like Möbius, but was much younger, walked in.

“That’s my daughter with Mebius,” she said to Theresa with a smile, touching her alluring cherry lips with her index finger.

"They are mother and daughter, they look very alike."

“…Mother and daughter?!” Theresa’s heart jumped as she looked at the green-haired girl walking towards them from a distance.

Indeed, the other person's appearance does resemble Möbius'.

Rather, he was Möbius in his childhood.

“…A…Lysia!” Mebius’s voice rose sharply with anger as he glared at the beautiful pink-haired girl, gritting his teeth as he demanded, “Tell me, who is your daughter!”

"Hehe." Alicia stuck out her tongue, raised her hand to tap her head, and turned her head away to avoid Mebius's angry gaze.

Mebius ignored her and turned to look at Theresa with a curious expression.

"Is this the person she chose?" She observed Theresa's body and appearance, a look of understanding appearing on her face.

To some extent, the other party is already a so-called Herrscher of Corruption, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a Herrscher of Humanity.

No wonder Alicia was even more eager than Theresa to see her.

“A wonderful girl, isn’t she?”

Alicia smiled, looking at Theresa's delicate face, then glanced at Möbius, deliberately drawing out her words:

"No wonder Möbius was willing to change the whole world for her."

“That’s her…it has nothing to do with me.” Waving his hand dismissively, Möbius asked Theresa, “Has that guy outside completed his plan?”

“…Yes, it’s done.” Theresa hesitated slightly before nodding. After obtaining the power of the Corruptor, she would be able to connect with her familiars more effectively and gain stronger control and the ability to infect.

It can corrupt not only humans, but also networks, machines, animals, Honkai Beasts, and everything else.

Mebius frowned at this, pondered for a moment, and then asked Theresa.

"Is your current plan to evolve by infecting all of humanity, turning each human into a being similar to a fusion warrior, thereby fully exploiting the Honkai energy on the planet to grow?"

"As a result, the Honkai energy on the planet's surface will remain in a relatively sparse environment. All Honkai disasters that arise in such an environment will pose the least threat to humanity due to the lack of sufficient Honkai energy."

"And you, as the god who unites the power of all humanity, use extraordinary power to suppress all Honkai calamities, right?"

"..." Theresa paused for a moment. This green-haired girl, who resembled Mebius, could have discerned their plans based solely on the existing information, even without prior intelligence.

That would be rather...terrifying.

"Hmph, it seems I guessed right." Möbius snorted, seeing Theresa's silent expression, he knew his guess was correct.

Then, she brushed a strand of green hair behind her ear, a dangerous glint appearing in her snake-like eyes, and a smile curled at the corner of her lips.
