The Herrscher of Corruption Fears Death; Honkai Delivers Itself on a Silver Platter

Her long, snow-white hair and her cherry-pink ponytail, both colors she liked.

"I wish this period of time could last forever."

She said it subconsciously, the girl leaning against the huge cherry blossom tree behind her, and couldn't help but start to fantasize about the future.

Sakura's desire is simple: she just wants to be with the two people on her lap forever, to live a simple and happy life together, and never be hurt again.

Perhaps in the future I can rebuild the shrine, then it would be normal for me to wear a shrine maiden outfit every day, and I can dance a Kagura for Bai Ge anytime, anywhere.

Just thinking about it made Sakura's face light up with longing.

Actually, she was also a little sleepy.

But I just couldn't bear to close my eyes and take a short nap.

Because of the White Youth and the cherry-colored girl on her lap, their unguarded sleeping faces, she could never get tired of looking at them. Sakura wished that time could stand still at this moment forever.

However, she still found something to do. Petals falling from the cherry tree behind her would occasionally land on Bai Ge and Ling's faces, and the girl tirelessly picked them off.

However, this peace and happiness did not last long.

"!!!"

Suddenly, a massive amount of Honkai Energy appeared!

It is not that a high-level Honkai Beast has been born.

It wasn't leaked from Bai Ge or from himself.

It emanated from Rin, an ordinary girl!

"Sakura, the Herrscher of Corruption has arrived."

Bai Ge, who was fast asleep just a second ago, suddenly opened his eyes. His relaxed nerves tightened again. At this moment, the White Youth transformed once more into the heroic Flame-Chasers bearing the inscription of "Salvation".

Sakura watched this scene helplessly, her hands clenched tightly.

"Bai Ge, I'm begging you."

"Yes, with me around, Rin won't become Herrscher."

Looking at the pink-haired girl who was still fast asleep and completely unaware that the Herrscher had descended upon her, Bai Ge carefully began to check on Qi Ling's current condition.

Half a minute later, he breathed a sigh of relief and his face lit up with joy.

Just like the original storyline, although Rin has become the vessel of the Herrscher of Corruption and has acquired a huge amount of Honkai Energy!

However, she did not become Herrscher directly.

The birth of the Herrscher of Corruption the Previous Civilization's Corruption is conditional, namely, the death of the vessel, namely, the bell.

In her original destiny, the Moth Chasing Fire deep resentment towards the Honkai, cruelly killed Rin out of fear of becoming a vessel for the Herrscher of Corruption. Only after Rin was killed did the Herrscher of Corruption within her fully awaken.

Driven by resentment, the awakened Herrscher of Corruption corrupted the base of the Moth Chasing Fire and launched mushroom bombs at the three remaining human cities, completely annihilating the future of the Previous Civilization.

(But it's a bit strange. I thought Honkai would make some changes, since the Herrscher of Rock, the Thousand People, and the Restraint all changed from their original settings because of my existence. How come Erosion hasn't changed at all?)

After pondering for a moment without finding an answer, Bai Ge temporarily gave up thinking about it. Then he took out the God Keys Feather of the Wind and the Oath of Judas.

He then opened a portal, found Mei who was busy transporting supplies to the World Bubble, retrieved the Gem of Serenity, and embedded it into the God Keys, the Void Hand.

Finally, Bai Ge opened the black box prepared by Vill-V, turning the surrounding area into an offline zone completely isolated from the network.

"Ready? Give me the bell."

"Okay, please."

Bai Ge held Ling in his arms with one hand, then the Void Hand containing the Gem of Serenity reached towards the girl's chest.

(So, the Herrscher Core has indeed appeared.)

Because of Vill-V's modifications, the second version of the Second Divine Key, Void Hand, was specifically enhanced with the function of extracting the core/heart, allowing Bai Ge to easily break through the core's protection mechanism.

However, the feeling of having one's body ripped out is still very much like Assassin Princess.

Ling also woke up from her sleep at once.

Then...

"Sister, brother-in-law, what are you doing?!"

Ling opened her eyes wide. She had been sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt something reaching into her body. When she opened her eyes, she found that her brother-in-law was actually ripping out her heart!

Rin couldn't help but think of an anime she had watched, but she couldn't possibly pull a three-meter-long sword out of her chest!

"Don't worry, bell, it'll be over soon."

"Be good, Ling, just leave everything to Bai Ge."

"???"

Looking at her sister, who was holding her hands to steady her body in order to prevent her from struggling, Ling was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

But she wasn't stupid, and she quickly guessed it.

The only thing Ling could think of that could make Bai Ge and Ying show such solemn expressions was Honkai.

Moreover, although she knew very little about the strength of her older sister and Bai, she knew that if it were just Honkai Beast, it would not have made the two of them show such an expression.

So there's only one answer left.

"Sis, brother-in-law, I'm not going to become Herrscher, am I?"

Ling swallowed hard, her voice trembling as she asked.

"Yes, Rin, you're the final mini-boss."

Bai Ge nodded affirmatively, while his hand continued to search for the Herrscher Core in the Imaginary Space within Ling's body.

"I woke up to find that the BOSS had turned into myself?! Waaaaah! No way~ Brother-in-law, help me, I don't want to be Herrscher!"

Anyone from a Previous Civilization, even a three-year-old child, knows what Herrscher represents.

Enemies of mankind, apostles of God, destroyers of civilization, and... villains who will surely be defeated by the savior!

Ling's eyes were brimming with tears; she had already cried from fright.

(Am I having a nightmare?! Damn it! Is it because I secretly kept my brother-in-law's notebook and had inappropriate thoughts about him, so God is punishing me like this? This is too much, it can't be!)

(Waaaaah, I'm doomed! My brother-in-law's hands are already tearing my heart out! By the way, can't he let me delete my browser history before he kills me?!)

"Brother-in-law, uh, no, Brother Bai."

After a moment of fear and trepidation.

Ling took a deep breath as if she had made a decision, and the pink-haired girl looked intently at Bai Ge.

"Hmm? What is it?"

"I like you, the kind of liking you have for your older sister."

"!!!" x2

Bai Ge and Ying both opened their eyes wide at the same time.

The former almost pulled back his hand that was digging out the core, while the latter trembled all over, his fox ears standing straight up.

"Well, I'm going to send it soon anyway, and if I don't say it now, I won't have another chance. I'll just do it so I won't have any regrets."

Ling said with a wry smile, because the Moth Chasing Fire had not disclosed any information about Seele and Himiko to the outside world, so in the eyes of the outside world, all the Herrscher were already dead.

In addition, Sakura did a very good job of keeping the secret, so the girl didn't know that she could still be saved.

"Ring, I never expected you to..."

"I accidentally fell in love at first sight, don't worry, sister. But apart from kissing Brother Bai when I was drunk last time and occasionally fantasizing about him, I haven't done anything else."

"..."

Sakura's face immediately darkened, and her hand unconsciously gripped the hilt of the Frozen Naraka Blade.

"Hey~ Anyway, I'm going to mail it soon, so please don't be angry, okay? Oh, and I'm sorry, I actually have a copy of Brother Bai's fanfiction hidden under my bed. Could you guys burn it for me later?"

"..."

Bai Ge's face also darkened.

And at that very moment, he finally touched what seemed to be the Herrscher Core.

"I feel so lucky to be your sister in this life. I don't regret falling in love with Brother Bai. Waaah, I hope to meet you all again in the next life!"

Ling forced a smile and said, completely unaware of the seriousness of her self-disclosure.

"Brother Bai, thank you for saving me and my sister back then. In the next life, I won't let you off so easily; we'll be rivals in love then, and I won't hold back!"

Ling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile as she spoke to the two most important people in her short life.

She thought to herself that since she was going to send it anyway, she might as well say everything she wanted to say. After all, these words hidden in her heart wouldn't count as burial goods even if she took them to the grave.

After saying that, Ling struck a rather elegant pose.

Then I closed my eyes and waited for my heart to stop beating.

(Ah~ goodbye to this beautiful world. It wouldn't be bad to die in Brother Bai's arms in the end. Even though my heart was ripped out, it didn't hurt at all. He was such a gentle person.)

(I really hope there really is a next life. By then, my sister and I won't be family anymore. Although it's a bit of a regret, that way I can go after Brother Bai.)
