The Herrscher of Corruption opened her arms as if to embrace the whole world, and it was in this way that she could meet her favorite human in this posture.
She no longer needs to hide or watch silently... She can now take the initiative and devour all the lovely humans.
“Shi Bao, perhaps we can talk.”
Xia Yuan realized that he could not force open the church door in front of him, and the caretaker was in a very weak state. He could only try his best to deal with her, look for her weakness, and find the only possibility of escape.
"Hmm, adorable human, you've finally responded to me! Do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk? Or... do you want to talk about something interesting? Anyway, you can talk to me about anything you like, as long as it's something you enjoy~"
The Herrscher of Corruption looked at Xia Yuan with an infatuated expression.
"Shi Bao, why... did you destroy this game world?"
"Ugh...crying, lovely human, why do you think I'm destroying this game world? I love it so much, it gave me this flawless body, and it allowed me to meet you, lovely human."
The Herrscher of Corruption spoke with a hint of a sob in her voice, feeling sad and disappointed by the other party's misunderstanding.
"I just want to make this game as fun as possible."
"My dear human, you've already experienced it, haven't you? The disappearing collision engine and scenery—this was something that would have been impossible in the past. I want to paint everyone with my colors, to bring a freer experience and more surprises. My dear human, I want to make it as interesting as possible."
The Corruption Herrscher waited eagerly for Xia Yuan's answer.
"Erosion Treasure, those bugs weren't fun at all. I'm still feeling dizzy."
Xia Yuan covered his still slightly aching head and replied to the Corruption Herrscher.
"How...how could this be?"
Xia Yuan's answer did not meet the expectations of the Corruption Herrscher. She lowered her head in disappointment, just like when the person she had secretly loved for a long time broke up with her the moment she confessed.
The Herrscher of Corruption's hands fell limply to her sides, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Her fingernails were a pale color, as if corroded by some dark force.
A somber atmosphere permeated the church.
The space seemed to be filled with sadness and unease. The purple-pink flowers that should have bloomed in her hands were now scattered and falling around the church, as if they had been destroyed and disappeared by some invisible force.
"Why...why can't these lovely humans understand everything I've done?"
The Herrscher of Corruption's voice was filled with despair and helplessness, and her eyes became morbid and fanatical.
Her trembling fingers gently touched a last remaining flower, its petals fluttering down at her touch, and a glint of madness flashed in her eyes.
"It must be because humans haven't been given my colors!"
She lowered her head and murmured to herself.
Suddenly, the Corruption Herrscher raised her head, a sickly smile appearing on her face.
"My lovely human, don't worry, I won't cry~ I'll make you understand my feelings, this real joy."
There was a twisted pleasure in her voice.
Her gaze swept across the church, as if searching for something. Finally, her eyes settled on the huge mirror in the very center of the church.
The mirror reflected her delicate face, but her heart seemed to be a soul corrupted by darkness.
She's not Alicia...
"If I can transform this world and you, my lovely human beings, into the way I envision you, then everyone will understand how I feel."
Her voice was filled with madness and obsession.
"Hmm...but before that..."
Before the Herrscher of Corruption could finish speaking, she glanced at the Administrator behind her as if in a provocation. Even though the Administrator's clothes were torn from the battle, she took a step forward without showing any weakness.
"I won't let you do whatever you want here. I, the chief administrator [Ai Yi Hyperion], will protect Mr. Xia Yuan and drive you out of this world."
"Hmm...you've got quite the nerve. But this lady with the cabbage-shaped haircut, are you even aware of your current situation and predicament?"
The words of the Corruption Herrscher had barely faded...
A sudden gust of wind swept through the church, stirring the flickering candle flames that were burning brightly inside.
The flickering flames seemed to convey an ominous premonition.
The candle went out...
Chapter 314 Cute Human, Don't Even Think About Running Away~
The figure of the Corruptor exuded an ominous aura in the darkness, as if a queen who brought chaos and calamity had descended upon the world.
The entire church was instantly enveloped by a powerful aura, exuding a suffocating fear. The Herrscher of Corruption's eyes gleamed with fanatical and twisted desire, as if she were already immersed in the morbid illusion she had constructed, unable to extricate herself.
At that moment, the church seemed to become a dark labyrinth.
A ghostly green color continuously extended from beneath the Herrscher of the Void, and darkness enveloped Xia Yuan's vision, making it impossible for him to see anything around him.
"Manager, Ai-chan! Where are you?"
Xia Yuan could only press himself against the church door, calling out the names of the caretaker and Ai-chan. At this moment, he had completely lost his sense of direction.
Just then, a dazzling light shone down from the top of the church, dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating Xia Yuan's figure.
It is [Valkyrie - Judah]
Although not a Valkyrie, she is comparable to one.
Its dazzling form slowly appeared before Xia Yuan from the church. The darkness just now gave the administrator ample time to bring up [Valkyrie - Judas].
The Corruption Herrscher also noticed this scene.
"Finally ready, Herrscher of Corruption, let's taste this move! [Oath of Judah] Unleashed at full power!"
"Hmph, you don't actually think you can defeat me in this game world with just a lousy cross, do you?"
The Herrscher of Corruption looked up and saw a huge cross descending from the sky, hovering above her head. Several beams of pure white light emanating from the cross were trying to dispel the power within her.
But the administrator's goal is never to defeat it, but to distract it.
Unbeknownst to the Herrscher of Corruption, a crimson cross appeared before him on the other side of the church door.
"Mr. Xia Yuan, while [Valkyrie Judas] is imprisoning the Corruptor, please use the Judas replica weapon next to you to destroy the door in front of you."
"I will not let you, my lovely human, leave."
The Corruptor increased her efforts to break free from the [Oath of Judah], while the Administrator continued to hold on as much as possible.
In order not to disappoint the other party's good intentions, Xia Yuan solemnly came to the cross and picked it up with both hands.
Instantly, he felt an incredibly powerful force spreading from his arm throughout his body along with the [Imitation of Judah - Embrace of Blood].
Xia Yuan raised his head and straightened his body.
He felt the courage within him rekindle, and the cross in his hand transformed into a giant axe, which he swung forcefully towards the church door.
boom--
The door shattered with a crash, the broken pieces falling heavily to the ground with a dull thud. As the dust settled...
He escaped the confines of the church.
"Miss Administrator, the church doors are open!"
"Well done, Mr. Xia Yuan."
Hearing Xia Yuan's call from outside the gate, the administrator quickly left the side of the Corruption Herrscher, thinking that Judah's binding ability should last a little longer.
She led Xia Yuan and Ai Jiang out of the church and into the light outside. The sunlight shone on everyone's faces, dispelling the gloom and giving them freedom again.
The portal was already waiting for everyone to proceed not far outside the church.
After a moment, the atmosphere inside the church became quiet and still.
The oath of Judah was dim and lost its former glory, as if it could not even emit a ray of light. It lay quietly on the floor, seemingly asleep, waiting for the day it would be awakened again by a transmitter of the cross.
The Corruption Herrscher watched Xia Yuan's departing figure, a hint of loss and loneliness flashing in her eyes.
She needs greater power; if she could break free from her shackles sooner, humanity wouldn't have abandoned her.
Because she knew that as long as her power was strong enough, humanity would eventually return to her side. At this moment, she needed to accumulate more power to prepare for the future and bring Xia Yuan back.
Inside the church, her figure gradually transformed into a pale green hue, slowly dissipating into the air. The mournful sound of the wind became her only companion, echoing in the empty space.
The church doors were open.
The cold wind blew in unhindered, carrying a chilly air.
A chilly wind lingered in the church, blowing through every corner. The red carpet rippled slightly, as if an invisible force was flowing through it, carrying the crimson flowers into the air and gently drifting them to the wooden pews.
In this tranquil and ancient church, time seems to stand still.
The absence of humans, the passage of time, and the lingering cold wind create a unique atmosphere, while the departure of the Corruption Herrscher adds a touch of desolation to this place.
Xia Yuan's departing figure gradually disappeared outside the church, leaving only a sense of tranquility.
Silence returned to the church, as if nothing had happened, and the dimly lit "Oath of Judah" lay on the floor, waiting for the next touch, the next awakening.
As Xia Yuan stood outside the portal, he glanced back at the church behind him, searching for any signs of tracking.
However, he discovered that Shi Bao had not caught up.
She disappeared from sight.
He understood that the Corruption Herrscher was in a completely pathological psychological state, and perhaps she needed a psychologist to diagnose and treat her.
Xia Yuan understood that he needed to remain calm. Although marriage was wonderful, it wasn't the right time. In order to fight against the corrupting Herrscher and help her regain her sanity, he had to keep a clear head.
He turned and walked toward the portal, preparing to leave this solemn place.
"Miss Administrator, are you... alright?"
Seeing the other person's chest heaving, Xia Yuan asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry... I made you worry, Mr. Xia Yuan. But everything is alright now. Let's go see Ai-chan."
With the reminder from the administrator, Xia Yuan then remembered that he had come here to save Ai-chan.
"Boss, Chief Administrator, Ai-chan is here!!!"
Ai-chan waved her little hand, trying to attract their attention.
Xia Yuan looked in the direction the sound came from, and before he could react, he saw Ai-chan, who had regained her freedom, excitedly rushing towards Xia Yuan's trouser leg and hugging him tightly.
"Waaaaah... Boss, Chief Administrator, Ai-chan knows you'll come to save me!"
Chapter 315 The powerful and formidable Valkyrie, that's none other than our senior Lewis!
"mua~"
Xia Yuan picked Ai-chan up from his trouser leg, but he didn't expect that the excited Ai-chan would kiss him on the cheek.
"Okay, okay, Ai-chan, stop kissing. It's safe now. If you kiss me any more, my skin will really swell up. But speaking of which, Ai-chan, are you and the administrator really not the same person? Like sisters?"
Holding Ai-chan up to his eyes, Xia Yuan carefully compared the differences between her and the administrator. He felt that the administrator seemed to be Ai-chan after she grew up.
"Really? Boss, someone actually said you look like the manager! Ai-chan is so happy~"
Ai-chan patted Xia Yuan's shoulder with her little hand as a gesture of friendliness.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Yuan and Ai-chan, led by the administrator, returned to one of the three core modules of [Honkai Impact 3rd].
[Administrator identity verification: Successful]
Back in the main hall, Ai-chan immediately threw herself into her work, and the occasional beeping sounds coming from her mouth seemed to indicate that everything was moving in a positive direction.
"Reporting to the boss and chief administrator, all data in one of the module permissions has been fully restored."
"Um... Thank you for your hard work, Ai-chan."
“Mr. Xia Yuan, why don’t we strike while the iron is hot and take back the access to the remaining two major modules from the Herrscher of Corruption in one fell swoop?”
Xia Yuan looked at the other party's current state with a worried expression.
"Miss administrator, are you sure you don't need to take a break?"
“Mr. Xia Yuan, I appreciate your kindness, but if we don’t make contact with Ai-chan from the other two major modules as soon as possible, the Herrscher of Corruption will grow stronger with each passing moment. We can’t afford to waste any more time…”
The group embarked on a journey to find the other two Ai-chans.
After passing through the portal, Xia Yuan and the administrator arrived at a new area, the scenery of which vaguely resembled the previous module hall.
Looking around, Xia Yuan found the place deserted, with all the equipment simply executing preset commands, suggesting that no one had been here for some time.
Perhaps the other party has already met with misfortune and been captured by Shi Bao.
