Watch Honkai Impact 3rd, and let fan creations save the world!

"...Kosmo?"

Kosmo turned his back to the erosion, leaving only a heroic silhouette:

"Further words are useless, Lawyer."

"...This place will not become your hunting ground."

The erosion continues with its ever-present smile:

"Since you know you have no chance of winning in a direct confrontation with me..."

"So... you're here also to try and create an opportunity for Mei?"

"It's not an attempt; I'm afraid you can't go any further, Herrscher of Corruption."

"Before you completely collapse?"

The young man nodded.

However, during his conversation with Kosmo, Corruption felt that Subject was a completely different person.

"You should also know that what Vivi said is impossible to work against me."

"Don't let yourself... suffer the consequences again."

"No need to say more."

"Alright." Erosion was getting impatient. "Although I knew what I'd be facing once I got here..."

"But it's ironic, isn't it? I should be one, yet I have to keep you alive time and time again."

[Su Chang]: "Are you trying to keep the heroes alive? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it!"

Kiana: "Why are we controlling the Herrscher of Corruption's body?!"

[Star]: "Hey, I have a plan. What if we just don't do anything?"

[Silver Wolf]: "You're the one who can make the entire universe unite and not attack! You deserve the most harmonious position."

[Gresh]: "Kosmo...the color on his body is very strange..."

[Gui Naifen]: "Birth, ah, it actually allowed little Gretchen to witness the death of Kosmo from the perspective of corruption!!"

At that moment, the sound of telegrams filled the world.

"Amplifying power is meaningless in the face of me..."

"But the instinct to devour... can it work the same way?"

"So, you've been here the whole time...?"

"No, while it does alleviate the symptoms, it can't truly stop me, it just..."

However, given this characteristic, that process will be extremely long.

What she considered to be more than enough time, if spent here, even a hundred times more, would probably still be far from enough.

(Alicia... if it were you, what would you do right now?)

[Padofilis]: "No way, what did I just hear!? Erosion wanted to know what Sister Aili was doing while it was fighting Amo?"

[Silver Wolf]: "In this battle, in order to buy Mei time, Kosmo didn't intend to go back alive."

[Seele Vollerai]: "How painful it must be to constantly devour oneself..."

[Star]: "Damn it! Your behavior is a bit too much!"

This is something that cannot be compensated for by data—whether she is worried that this point will be confirmed, she herself probably cannot give an accurate answer.

"Kosmo...please forgive me."

"All of you whom I love... have already received eternal and beautiful life within me."

"If we let you continue like this, it will be tantamount to pushing them into a deadly situation once again."

Erosion couldn't help but reveal a pained expression:

"Is this what it feels like to be caught between two evils? At least for now... I understand how you feel. If this is the path you've chosen..."

She finally decided to use the ability that could easily solve everything, an ability she had only used once.

[Star]: "You don't understand anything, you beast!"

[March 7th]: "That's right, Alicia would never do that!"

[Silver Wolf]: "This thing has some self-awareness; it knows that it is different from Alicia."

It's indeed completed. His data also..."

Then, after careful observation, she understood everything:

"Oh, is that so... The data has indeed disappeared, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's because of that, is it?"

"As expected... it really is."

"It seems that during the time when Sakura prevented me from knowing everything, I did miss a lot..."

Once the erosion understood, it shot the arrow into space, shattering the space and finally revealing its full form.

“Alright, come out—I never promised to become yours,” said the Herrscher of Corruption.

"No wonder Kosmo's personality changed so drastically, no wonder his stats vanished from the very beginning, yet he was still able to fight me..."

"So Kosmo... had already become one of your paintings long ago."

"...Is that right, Gretchen?"

[Sambo]: "Oh my, there's another expert!?"

[Silver Wolf]: "I see. This explains why the Kosmo can keep fighting and why it is not afraid of the Erosion Deletion."

[Star]: "We've already defeated Kosmo, so why are we still in the Erosion's perspective!?"

[Fireworks]: "Little Gray Fur, don't be in such a hurry. Isn't there still a hero in the face of this erosion?"

【Bengtie·Xier】: "Poet's grip?"

Chapter 279 Gretchen's Painting

"Furthermore... if it were done by the Herrscher of Corruption herself, I'm afraid I could only delay it, not restore it."

Afterwards, Hua suggested that they could only use the original plan. At this moment, the adorable Gretchen suddenly appeared. After Kosmo distracted her, they began to review the feasibility of the original plan.

"Does what you're saying include Gretchen?"

"...Then, please allow me to refuse."

"If it's just about buying time for the Herrscher of Thunder, we have other methods."

Hua expressed doubt, saying that according to their previous deduction, even if it were self-devouring, the Herrscher of Corruption could directly delete it, which wouldn't even delay the process.

"You misunderstand. Just now, I thought of a way, a... possible way."

"This method also requires the use of the Eighth Divine Key. I need you... for me alone."

"You mean the Herald of Corruption?"

Kosmo remained silent, watching her. Hua seemed to understand something:

"I see."]

[Star]: "So that's how it is. Turning it into a painting makes it resistant to erosion and deletion, and it also protects Gretchen. How true!"

[March 7th]: 'What kind of perfect solution is this? Little Gretchen, run! The corruption is right outside the door!'

[Herrscher of Knowledge]: "Kosmo wants the old relic to use Feather Dust to hypnotize Gretchen? Kosmo, you're so foolish! How much Gretchen will regret it when she finds out the truth! Little Gretchen is also a hero; she's not that fragile!"

[Alicia]: "Xiaoshi is right, Kosmo, you were in the wrong this time, weren't you?"

—And all of this went exactly as he had hoped.

"Selfish people...are annoying, right? Don't draw them like that, okay?"

The little painter nodded vigorously: "Yes, selfish people are the worst, unlike Kosmo."

"Then, Hua... I'll leave the rest to you."

"Please do it for me... for her."

"So it's come to this point after all, I understand."

[Fu Hua]: "But... wouldn't that be the same as having Gretchen personally become a Kosmos?"

【Star】: "The image that Kosmo describes seems to be the self in his mind, a 'hero' who can do anything."

[Black Swan]: "This also explains why Kosmo's personality was a bit off in battle. It is essentially a re-creation based on Kosmo."

[Theresa]: "Only in this way... can Kosmo still retain a heroic heart after undergoing 'overweight transformation'?"

[Theresa]: "If I completely unleash the super-mutant factors of 'Vishnu'... will I still be able to maintain my identity?"

[Honkai Iron Welt]: "Theresa, all I can say is... although you have the same Honkai Beast genes, your Honkai manifestations are completely different."

"So what's in this painting... is exactly as it is. And..."

"Is that so...?"

From the data, the Herrscher of Erosion understood everything that had happened before.

"So, although it looks strange, what we just saw... was his true appearance."

"And she says she's not a hypocrite..."

Although Gretchen's plan was unexpected, Kosmo's plan still did not fail.

The reason for this twist of fate may lie precisely in Kosmo's lack of understanding of his true self.

[Su Chang]: "There are more experts? Hua actually told Gretsch about his previous conversation with Kosmo. Doesn't that mean Gretsch knows that he was gradually eliminating Kosmo?"

[Star]: "Ugh, why is the perspective back on the erosion side?! I don't want to see this, I don't want to see this!"

[March 7]: "Greyspeare is such a strong child. She understands Kosmos even better than Kosmos herself."

[Silver Wolf]: "From the perspective of the erosion, little Gretchen holding the canvas is really cute, but why this perspective?!"

[Aha]: Aha, this is so much fun! Aha supports this way of playing, it's more interesting this way!

[Fu Xuan]: "Everyone, you all know what's going to happen next, so be prepared!"

[Potio]: "My goodness, this little cutie is just too lovable! I really want to love him to death the baby who came up with this idea!"

Chapter 280 The Farewell of Xuguang and Fanxing.

[Star]: "No, damn it, stop! I don't want to see this, no! A newborn child, unable to resist, how can you harm such a helpless baby?"

Unfortunately, although Xing wasn't the only one who thought this way, according to the mechanism, as long as one person had murderous intent, the Corruption would take action.

Even if the heroes were so angry they wanted to smash the paradise to pieces, and Kiana and the others were trembling with rage, they still couldn't do anything.

They could only watch from a first-person perspective as the erosion arrows were shot into Gretsch's body, and they could only see the erosion progressing on Gretsch's body.

[Qian Jie]: "You deserve to die!"

Kiana: "To kill someone and then destroy their spirit, I'm speechless. Mei, I really want to hit someone right now!"

[Tesla]: "I am her ****"

[Potio]: "Okay, sis, I acknowledge your attack power!"

Perhaps the meaning is simpler than one imagines.

She had no odor and did not possess the special properties of a Kosmo, which could completely corrupt a person with just a slight touch.

But why?

Why is it that the erosion is so obvious after it has occurred, yet she feels nothing at all now?

“Gresh…you…”

The tone of his voice was filled with disbelief:

"You... you also included him in that painting?"

"Finally, this is what Kosmo himself said... right?"
