The Corruption Tragedy: Humanity's Retribution Against the Herrscher (4K)

"Because the highest commander of this base is Mei." Su shook his head. "Before entering the archives, Sakura's excuse was that she was following Dr. MEI's orders."

"A lackey, a lackey wherever he goes," Mobius mocked.

"In other words, this isn't actually the World Bubble, but rather something that happened in Previous Era," Elysia suddenly realized.

"So, the 'snake' in the Sea of Quanta is Kevin?" May said.

"Huh? Isn't it Mobius?"

"Hmph, an idiot is an idiot." Mobius snorted. "I've said it so many times, it wasn't me. Do you only think of Mobius when you think of snakes?"

"Elysia, in the files Seele found, the Chimera Project is codenamed Tlaloc, the same name as the monster encountered in the Sea of Quanta. It's currently the only one that can be confirmed to have absorbed most of the Honkai Beasts factors..."

Mei patiently explained to Elysia, "Only Kevin, plus the foreshadowing at this time and Kevin's appearance, unless Yaqing wants to play with the contrast, I can't think of anyone else but Kevin."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Kevin could clearly see Kalpas's eyes, and his arm was hurting again.

With Kalpas as his personal fitness coach, Kevin seemed to see himself typing on the keyboard with aching hands after going to work.

"Kevin, you look so handsome every time you appear." Little Knowledge turned her head. "You and Yaqing, is there really no special deal between you?"

"How could that be? I'm an innocent boy!" Kevin thought, trying to prove himself, while mentally cursing Yaqing.

Far away in Central Europe, Yaqing sneezed again.

"Little brother, are you sure you don't have a cold?" Cecilia asked with concern.

"No, sister," Yaqing helplessly.

It must be that awful Kevin cursing at me again.

Chapter 185 The Tragedy of Corruption, Humanity's Revenge Against the Herrscher (4K)

Kevin's arrival put even more pressure on Sakura.

Kevin was not afraid of Sakura, who had already touched the hilt of the sword.

"Your actions are tantamount to betraying humanity." Kevin came here to stop Sakura.

"Ha, betraying humanity?" Sakura sneered, as if venting her anger. "Rin is innocent! She did nothing wrong. You can't arbitrarily label her a threat, much less imprison her!"

Kevin calmly but coldly reminded her that Honkai energy had been detected in Rin's body, and without a doubt, she was the Twelfth Herrscher.

Sakura found this reason absurd. They also had Honkai energy reactions within them, yet they were warriors fighting for humanity, while Rin had done nothing and was about to be imprisoned and have her life taken away.

"Sakura, I understand how you feel." Kevin, who had just experienced the tragedy of the Restraint, did not want humanity to suffer any more losses because of the Herrscher. At the same time, he also hoped that Sakura could trust Mei and that Mei would make a wise judgment.

"I don't doubt Dr. MEI's character, but I can't trust the Moth Chasing Fire."

Sakura couldn't believe the higher-ups at Moth Chasing Fire; in their eyes, Fusion Warrior fought for humanity were no longer worthy of being called human.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Kevin, Sakura decided to take action.

"Sakura, the Moth Chasing Fire needs you, we need you." Kevin ignored Sakura's threat.

"I... am Herrscher? That's really..."

Ling stared blankly at her hands.

Seeing Rin like this, Sakura felt a pang of sympathy and comforted her, "Rin, don't be so self-conscious..."

That's fantastic!

Rin's excited tone left Sakura completely bewildered.

"Big sister, am I as cool as Bronya becoming Herrscher? Herrscher fighting for humanity, just thinking about it is so cool!" Rin was very excited, especially when she thought of the scene Bronya had just witnessed.

Sakura didn't want to shatter the child's beautiful fantasy, but she was also afraid that the child wouldn't be able to accept the following plot.

"Sakura and Kevin fighting?" Elysia's first thought wasn't about the battle in the story, but about Sakura, who had trained in swordsmanship since childhood, fighting against Kevin, a corporate slave, in real life.

Kevin is going to be in big trouble...

"He really knows you well." Mobius glanced at Kevin.

"What?" Kevin didn't react.

Mobius sneered, "He has no judgment of his own, and he just keeps believing Dr. MEI. He really is a lackey."

"The Twelfth Herrscher? I remember it was mentioned in the story that the Finality Herrscher, who destroys the world, is the Fourteenth Herrscher. That means that with Rin and the thirteenth Herrscher combined, only eight warriors are left to wipe out humanity?" To avoid Rin, Vill-V said in a low voice.

"After all, the powers of the Herrscher of Corruption are too outrageous. If it were placed in the main storyline, Anti-Entropy -Entropy, which uses mechs as its main means of attack, would be completely useless."

[For the first time, Sakura unleashed her true power in front of Kevin. Kevin, wielding a flaming greatsword, walked towards Sakura, and then suddenly vanished.]

"What?!"

Kevin was able to turn around and find that the two people who had been in front of him were now behind him, running into the depths without looking back, as the alarm sounded at an inopportune moment.

"An attack alarm?" Kevin frowned. "It wasn't them, it came from another floor. This is bad!"

May's message rang in Kevin's ears, issuing the order to attack. Kevin asked what had happened.

"The Herrscher has awakened."

"What kind of superpower is this? Time stop?!" Kiana exclaimed in shock.

Unlike the game, the movie specifically depicts the moment Sakura draws her sword, when the surroundings slow down, Sakura grabs Seele's hand and comes behind Kevin, and only then does time return to normal.

"Impossible. If time stopped, that would be too overpowered. The icy effect at the moment the sword was drawn is more like freezing time," Bronya analyzed calmly.

"Bronya, are you awake?" Kiana looked at Bronya. "If time were frozen, wouldn't that be even more insane?"

"There are definitely limitations." Bronya shook her head. "If Sakura could freeze time at will, then she wouldn't need to lie in wait. She could even freeze time and run away with Seele when she encounters Kevin."

"I think the limitation should be on the knife," Mei suddenly said.

"The Herrscher has awakened..."

Hearing Dr. MEI's last words.

The faces of the crowd were grim; they seemed to foresee the tragedy to come.

Only Rin was still pulling Sakura along, saying, "Sister, watch closely, my transformation is coming!"

Sakura responded with only a forced smile.

Sakura was relieved that Kevin had left, but was surprised to find Dead Soldiers in the base. Seele also went berserk due to the power of the Stigmata, and her clothes appeared and disappeared intermittently.

He regained his senses after Sakura called out to him.

Seele blamed herself for losing control, and Sakura gently comforted her. When Seele lowered her head in frustration, Sakura gently patted her head.

"Everyone has something they want to protect, and that has nothing to do with strength or weakness."

Even the weakest person can find ways to protect their precious possessions.

"No matter what, I don't want to lose it, and I'll do anything to protect it. Seele must have had that thought too, right?"

"At that moment, you are the strongest person in the world."

"This sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before." Kiana scratched her head, but couldn't remember where she had heard this phrase before.

"You idiot Kiana, have you forgotten about the web series Anti-Entropy: Origins?"

"Oh right, so that's what Sister Sakura said. I thought it was Edison who said it," Kiana suddenly realized.

Bronya shook her head. "It seems that the reason for finishing the web series before the movie's release is probably to generate buzz for the movie."

"Sakura-neechan, have you always been protecting Rin with these feelings in mind?"

"Aren't older and younger sisters like this?" Sakura's originally cool and aloof face softened a bit.

"Seele will always remember those words."

Seele asked Dark Seele in her mind. Dark Seele didn't White Seele had lost control, but she wanted to know what Seele was so afraid of.

Seele could only sense something terrifying; for a fleeting moment, she suddenly felt an overwhelming mix of anger and sorrow.

"There's a knife, quick, get out of here!" Pardo closed her eyes.

Sakura's hand, gripping the armrest, trembled as she looked at Rin with worry.

[Taking the elevator to the thirty-third basement level, where blood is splattered everywhere, Sakura runs wildly down the hellish corridor, the constant wailing of alarms tugging at her heartstrings.]

When they found the room where the bell was locked.

Sakura burst through the door, only to be stunned by the sight before her. Her panic vanished, leaving only a blankness. Her eyes lost their luster, and she knelt on the ground in a daze.

The air was thick with the smell of blood.

When Seele arrived, the camera focused on Bell on the ground, her body covered in shocking wounds, revealing the treatment the girl had suffered and the despair she felt before her death.

Seele couldn't fathom what kind of demon could commit such an act.

"This is... me?" The girl, who had just been thinking about how to wreak havoc and save humanity, was completely stunned when she saw the tragically dead "herself".

She didn't cry.

It happened so fast that she didn't have time to react.

"Beast!" This was the angrier Kalpas had ever been, even more so than when he first saw the actions of the Schicksal researcher in the movie.

Although Kalpas didn't say it, he still really liked children.

"Please calm down, Kalpas, this is all fake." Aponia once again used her professional skills as a psychologist to try to calm the enraged Kalpas.

After being persuaded by Aponia, Kalpas calmed down a bit.

"They actually killed Ling..." Pardo hadn't expected that someone close to her in the movie would be killed so quickly.

Kevin sighed, "That's what I meant. The Corruption Massacre wasn't a massacre of the Herrscher against humanity, but a massacre of humanity against the Herrscher."

Kevin understood why Ying had cornered Yaqing in the office back then, and why Yaqing hadn't dared to say a word.

"The Previous Era was a tragedy in itself. As long as your role is in the Previous Era, you must be prepared to die." As a doctor, Su is very open-minded about it.

Sakura stared blankly at Rin's body, repeatedly thinking, "If only I had been a little faster..."

To buy Sakura time to recover, Seele fought the Dead Soldiers alone.

Crimson flames suddenly swept in, burning the Dead Soldiers to ashes. In the center of the firestorm stood a white-haired warrior.

Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.

Kevin walked over to Sakura's side, but there was no response to his calls. He had considered countless possibilities of Sakura's feelings, but now, Sakura was just sitting there quietly, unwilling to wake up no matter how others tried to wake her.

Kevin shook his head and reported to Dr. MEI that the Dead Soldiers had been eliminated.

Dr. MEI instructed Kevin to continue observing the Herrscher's true form.

Kevin explained to Seele the Twelfth Herrscher's abilities, which only awaken after death. Unbeknownst to them, the soldiers at the base executed her without their consent, thus awakening the Herrscher.

"Sakura is wrong. Rin is a genuine Herrscher. Sakura must take responsibility for her intrusion."

Faced with Seele's reasoned argument, Kevin said that even if he stopped those soldiers, there would be other people and other things that would become the last straw that broke her back.

"When Rin was chosen to become Herrscher, her fate was already sealed."

"This is Honkai...!"

Kevin's eyes flashed with malice, his clenched fists looked as if they might bleed at any moment. He tried to calm himself, but the trembling in his body betrayed his pain and anger.

"Damn it, they didn't kill Herrscher, just an unarmed girl who wanted to reunite with her sister." Kalpas, who had just been comforted, immediately flared up with anger again.

Nia could only continue to offer comfort.

"What kind of despicable organization is this!" Pardo couldn't stand it anymore. This was the first time she had hoped that Otto would lead the organization. At least Otto could order his subordinates to conduct research on the Herrscher instead of killing them directly.

Blanca covered Griseo's eyes as soon as they got off the elevator, angrily saying, "These people should all be sent to the Doctor's lab table."

"What are you talking about, Blanca?" Mobius waved his hand dismissively. "My lab is full of volunteers working for the future of humanity and for 'money.' Sending over this trash is disgusting."

"But to be fair, May, you've become quite cold-hearted as a leader," Mobius said with a half-smile.
