Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

After confirming his target, Xia Yuan slowly left the bedroom. Perhaps fearing that someone would break into the house again and repeat the situation of Xi'er coming to the bedroom in the morning, this time he carefully locked the front door outside the living room.

"These are claw marks? Hmm, it must have been Hei hope who scratched them."

Xia Yuan noticed the scratches on the wall and mistakenly thought they were imprinted by Miss Hei Xi. He didn't pay much attention to them. He was just worried about his already empty wallet. Renovating the wall would be another expense.

But life had to go on. After he left, the white-haired girl hiding in the shadows revealed a joyful and sweet smile.

"Finally, I've been waiting for you..., human~"

She was avoiding the sun's rays, silently following behind the other person, while Xia Yuan was completely unaware of the white-haired girl trailing behind him.

Meanwhile, with Xia Yuan and Bronya gone, the bedroom seemed to return to its original tranquility.

But this was only the surface. Little Gretchen, hiding in the wardrobe compartment, had not made a move yet. On the other hand, the Herrscher of Corruption had already completed her search. With the help of the energy in the engraving, a dreamlike and dazzling magic circle appeared on the floor in front of her.

The inscriptions of twelve heroes surround its edge.

The flickering pink light in the bedroom naturally caught the attention of little Gretchen inside the wardrobe. She gently placed the shelf to one side of her body and observed the situation in the bedroom through the gap in the wardrobe.

"That on the floor looks like... Alicia's mark, and also [Stars] representing myself? But why are they in the bedroom? It seems like some kind of summoning ritual is being performed. Hmm, will it summon Kosmo from here?"

Little Gretchen always felt that Kosmo might jump out of it.

After being instructed by Brother Xia Yuan in the Paradise of the Past, Kosmo became very strange... or rather, he became extremely excited, as if he had found a purpose in life, and he was obsessed with that transformation move, just like Gretchen liked painting.

But then Gretchen suddenly thought of another question.

If Xia Yuan has already gone to find Mei, then who would have set up such a magical circle on the bedroom floor that can summon Kosmo? She also wants to have a magical circle that can summon Aponia and Xia Yuan.

Curious little Greta wanted to push open the wardrobe and go out to find out what was going on.

But the sudden Honkai energy reaction coming from the bedroom made her slowly put her hand back down from the wardrobe.

"Is this the aura of a Herrscher? Hmm... It's dark, and it makes Gretsch feel uneasy."

The pitch-black color in the other person's heart seemed to radiate an almost boundless darkness, making it hard for little Greta to breathe. This familiar yet strange feeling reminded her of a Herrscher from the pre-civilization era—the Herrscher of a Thousand.

The presence of the Herrscher caused Gretchen to change her original plans.

She needed to gather as much information as possible about the other party from the wardrobe, and then inform Brother Xia Yuan and everyone in the Golden Courtyard.

At the same time, a little girl with short blonde hair slowly appeared in front of the Corruption Herrscher. There seemed to be two imperceptible threads connecting her body to the sky, supporting her movements.

creak-

Her joints, which were as stiff as a puppet's, made strange noises.

Then she suddenly turned 360 degrees, tilting her head to look down at the Corruptor below. The black eye mask covering her face did not affect her vision at all. She seemed to sense the presence of her kind from this typewriter.

The Herrscher of Corruption looked at the blonde girl who appeared before her with great excitement, as if she was only one step away from breaking the seal. If the girl could just move her finger to plug in the internet cable, the whole world would be in her grasp.

Welcome, my companion, the Tenth Herrscher: The Herrscher of Domination.

The Herrscher of Domination seems to still be in a state of confusion; her last memory is still the sword blade that was powerful enough to cleave space.

With this raging fire, nothing can be severed!

"Kiana, Kiana, Kiana, Kiana!!!"

She screamed as if she were going crazy, seemingly trying to vent her emotions. Her voice trembled and was hoarse, and her expression revealed fear and dread. Her joints creaked and groaned as she moved her hands to caress her body and face.

"I...I'm still alive?! I wasn't killed by Kiana?"

Upon confirming that she was unharmed, she murmured to herself, revealing a kind of ecstatic joy at surviving a near-death experience. After calming down from her joy, the Herrscher of Domination observed her surroundings.

"Is this in the bedroom?"

A printed sheet of paper slid to her feet, and the Herrscher of Dominion tilted her head at a 90-degree angle to read the words on the paper.

"Huh? Welcome to me?"

The Herrscher of Domination curiously examined the typewriter in front of her. It exuded the same aura as her, suggesting that the typewriter was also a Herrscher. Her presence here unharmed was likely related to the typewriter.

What she needs most right now is intelligence; she needs to get the other party to reveal all the information they know.

to this end--

The Herrscher of Domination clasped her hands together and gave him what she considered to be the most radiant smile—one in a thousand, seemingly a sales expert.

But hidden behind the smile is the Herrscher of Domination, who is a [collection of a thousand people], harboring endless malice towards society and the world. The Herrscher of Corruption, who is a digital virus, seems to be still immersed in her fantasy and does not try to figure out the true thoughts hidden beneath the smile.

She shared everything she knew and understood with him without reservation.

After sorting through and filtering all the information and content the other party had said, the Herrscher of Domination turned her head 360 degrees and came to a conclusion that shocked her.

"So... it was you who brought me from the past back to the present?"

Chapter 433: You could praise her a bit more.

Of course, who else but the beautiful and charming me could do such a thing?

After receiving the reply, the Herrscher of Domination clearly felt that her control over Honkai energy was far less than before, and the Honkai energy factors permeating the space were pitifully few. Fortunately, she had the [Domination Theater] which could provide her with a continuous source of energy.

"So, in this modern world where 99% of Honkai energy can be sealed on the moon, you, as the Herrscher of Erosion, haven't been greatly affected by this highly developed internet society; in fact, you could say you're thriving?"

【Hmm~】

The Herrscher of Corruption put on an expression that suggested she was actually very strong and that she should be praised more.

"You brought me back so that I could help you break the seal on the Herrscher core, allowing you to hack into Schicksal's network system, paralyze it, and strip the world of its nuclear missile control. That way, the whole world would be under your control, and you could rule and manage this planet with your beloved humans, right?"

As a Herrscher of Domination comprised of a thousand individuals, she quickly grasped the current situation from the other party's response, thanks to the existence of a thousand individual consciousnesses.

【Hmm~】

It's so good that you understood so quickly. All the effort I put into bringing you back from the past to the present wasn't in vain. I knew it was the right choice, my friend~

"Yes, that was indeed the right choice."

"Now it's time to break the seal for me! Quickly move your little hands, I can't wait to meet the lovely humans in another form."

However, the Herrscher of Domination remained unmoved, showing no sign of moving her hands. Now that she had grasped the current situation, she no longer needed to pretend.

The smile that had been playing on the lips of the Herrscher of Dominion gradually faded away.

Then...

She looked down at the Corruption Herrscher in front of her with a mocking expression.

"That's well said, but why should I listen to you?"

【Huh?】

The Corruptor was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to process what the other person had said; these words shattered all her illusions.

【But... I brought you here, so as a thank you, just help me plug in the internet cable, okay? Please~ I'll definitely thank you properly later.】

Perhaps worried that the other party would abandon her here, Miss Corruption quickly pleaded with them.

But the Herrscher of Domination covered her forehead, revealing a sneer. With a creaking sound from her knee joints, she raised one foot and stepped on the Herrscher of Corruption attached to the typewriter.

"A mere data virus without even a physical form, a pathetic creature clinging to the internet, dares to order me around? And you even fantasize about loving and being intimate with humans? Pfft~ Don't make me laugh! What kind of Herrscher are you? You've completely disgraced the Herrscher class!"

The Herrscher immediately put on a disgusted and repulsive expression. She couldn't stand the other person's behavior. Despite being a Herrscher like herself and possessing the power to destroy the world, she fantasized about living with humans. It was ridiculous and foolish!

[As a fellow Herrscher...aren't we comrades?]

"Who are your companions? My only companions from beginning to end are myself and the people who feel despair and collapse towards this world."

"It was their despair that gave birth to the Thousand Heralds, and I was born from that. Can you understand their pain? Can you feel it? Forget it... What can a mere virus understand? To rule the world with humanity, sounds so nice, but it's just wishful thinking on your part. The humans you love haven't even given you a proper look, have they?"

The Herrscher of Domination waved her hand at it with pity, as if looking down at a pitiful little worm at a human's feet.

"But speaking of which, I really have to thank you for bringing me to this point, so that I have another chance to take revenge on them... Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Kiana, times have changed. Just wait and see, this time she will definitely not lose again."

【I......】

The other party's words pierced deeply into the heart of the corrupting Herrscher. Perhaps out of instinct, she subconsciously recalled Xia Yuan's face, and a printed photo quietly appeared at the feet of the Herrscher.

"Is this the human being you've been longing for?"

The Herrscher of Domination withdrew her foot from the other person's surface, abruptly pulled the photo out of the printer, and held it by the edge with her fingertips, tilting her head to carefully examine the man in the photo.

Quick, give it back to me...

Realizing that her commemorative photo had been taken away, the Corruptor Lady frantically tried to get it back, but what awaited her was the other party's merciless little feet.

"Keep quiet!"

"Hmm? That messy curly hair, those deep and unfathomable eyes... who would have thought that a mere virus could be so discerning?"

Just from Xia Yuan's photo, the Herrscher of Domination could sense the unique sense of world-weariness emanating from him. He was like her; she understood, she understood everything.

Only someone who constantly faces persecution from their superiors in the workplace, working tirelessly day and night, would look so haggard...

She understood the misanthropy and self-worth hidden deep within the other person's heart. Only such a person was qualified to be her companion, to lead the other person into the theater of domination, to become part of the thousands, and to utterly destroy this wretched world.

Right, right, I also think I have a good eye for people.

"You seem to have misunderstood our positions. Nevertheless, I am grateful to you... for not only bringing me back to the present but also allowing me to discover such a promising human being. In return, I will make him a part of me, a member of the theater of domination. And you, just watch this unfold right beside me."

The Herrscher of Domination bowed very politely to the Herrscher of Corruption beneath her feet.

[You're not allowed to lay a finger on humans! If you dare harm any human, I swear I'll haunt you to the ends of the earth, even to the very edge of the world! Hmm...]

"Pfft~ I'm so scared. Look at you right now? Don't make me laugh. You're just a pathetic little worm living inside a typewriter. You should worry about yourself first, because you won't be a Herrscher anymore soon."

Chapter 434 The Gradually Expanding Herrscher of Domination

The Herrscher of Domination stomped on her feet several times in a mocking manner.

Perhaps because she found the other person's surface too uncomfortable, she quietly withdrew her trembling little feet when he wasn't looking.

"Oh, by the way, you poor little thing clinging to the typewriter, why don't you guess... do you know why I'm called the Herrscher of Domination?"

Her voice was full of mockery as she stared intently at the Herrscher core hidden inside the typewriter in front of her.

The Herrscher of Domination revealed an expression of extreme greed.

A sealed Herrscher core lay before her; it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted. As a collective of a thousand, she had always acted as she pleased, and only by accumulating enough power could she take revenge on Kiana, Mei, and Bronya.

From the very beginning...

Stepping on the other was also a test. When she confirmed that the Herrscher of Corruption in front of her could not resist and could not even use the slightest bit of her power, the true face of the Herrscher of Domination was revealed on her face. She stopped pretending.

She had been secretly plotting behind the scenes from the very beginning, and now it was time for her to reap the rewards.

She slowly reached out her hand to him.

[Domination? Could it be! My Herrscher powers are slowly fading away... No, that's not right, it's you who are stripping away and stealing my powers?!]

"You got it right, but there's no reward."

"Stop it! If you keep doing this, I'll..."

"Hmm? Still trying to resist, my poor little wretch? You're overestimating yourself. You may be strong in the cyberspace, but this isn't your territory. Now that you're sealed, you probably can't even muster a shred of your Herrscher abilities. Stop your futile struggles and just become mine. Giving this power to a poor little wretch like you is such a waste."

Hmm...

Feeling the power slowly slipping away, she can no longer even back up her data and can only watch helplessly as the other party takes it for themselves.

Humans, I'm sorry...

The Herrscher of Corruption knew she had committed a grave error by bringing the Herrscher of Domination back to the present. She had assumed the Herrscher was her ally, but she had underestimated the Herrscher's malice toward the world.

Imperceptible threads enveloped the Herrscher core sealed within the typewriter, successfully stealing its power.

"From this moment on, the power of erosion completely belongs to her~"

She didn't believe that the other party could regain their powers through their own will, like Raiden Mei.

Perhaps it was because she had regained her power that the Herrscher of the Void joyfully stretched out her arms towards the sky, feeling the changes brought about by her new authority.

Local deployment: 1

[Off-site deployment: 999]

The powers of the two great lawmen, the rights of erosion and domination, seem to be merging to some extent.

Even now, on the verge of death, she can use the power of erosion to back up herself into other dolls. As long as a thousand of her cannot be completely eliminated at the same time, even if only one doll remains as a vessel, she will not disappear and will make a comeback from the Domination Theater.

In addition, the Herrscher of Domination also gained the ability to control mechanical creatures and infiltrate networks.

"Hahahahaha!"

Such a powerful ability to protect herself made the Herrscher of Domination ecstatic. She wanted to see how Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Kiana would defeat her now.

But just as the Herrscher of Dominion was laughing wildly... a call from the moon quietly echoed in her consciousness.
