After sleeping for fifty thousand years, Hiyorimar had actually forgotten most of its strength and abilities.
Fifty thousand years ago, it could invade the computers of the previous era, directly trigger a nuclear explosion, and wipe out humanity until only thirty thousand remained.
But after awakening five hundred years before its current slumber, Hiyorimar, as a Herrscher, had become a complete idiot.
Its combat methods were reduced to spitting fireballs, and if its abilities were counted, it could at most add mental erosion.
In the recent battle, Hiyorimar realized it couldn't defeat Gu Yu, so it immediately abandoned defense and offense, directly condensing Honkai Energy to launch a mental erosion attack on Gu Yu.
According to its plan, as long as this Honkai Energy brushed against Gu Yu's body, it could follow the trail into Gu Yu's inner world and search for the wounds in Gu Yu's memories.
Once it found the weakness in Gu Yu's heart, it could take a gamble.
If it broke through the enemy's mental defenses, this powerful body would belong to Hiyorimar.
Even if it didn't break through... well, the current situation couldn't get any worse.
Hiyorimar charged forward, and Hiyorimar succeeded.
But upon entering Gu Yu's inner world, Hiyorimar suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why, after eroding this young man's mind, did Hiyorimar start to feel uneasy?
It wasn't a matter of conscience—it had directly killed so many damned humans with nuclear bombs, how could it feel uneasy just by invading an enemy's mind?
Gradually, it understood.
This wasn't unease...
--It was fear.
"Tch, how could I possibly be scared by a kid's memories?"
After encouraging itself with self-talk, Hiyorimar began to look through Gu Yu's memories.
However, the more it looked at Gu Yu's memories, the more its heart pounded with fear.
In the memory fragments left in the mind of this young man named Gu Yu, Hiyorimar could actually see its own past, present... and future.
Whether it was its past as the human girl Suzu, its past fighting that white-haired nun, or the scene of it currently trying to possess Yae Sakura's body, it was all found in Gu Yu's memories.
To its shock, Hiyorimar also saw a short, white-haired nun who, with just a few words, had actually influenced it???
What a joke, how could Hiyorimar let go of humans so easily!
But as it continued to watch, Hiyorimar felt even more that something was wrong.
After being influenced, it had actually reverted to its human form from the past and recognized Yae Sakura, whose body it was trying to possess, as its elder sister.
Could it, a dignified Corrosion Herrscher, be fooled by a few pieces of fried tofu???
What a joke!
However, Hiyorimar soon had no time to dwell on these matters.
Since this man knew about the past, the present, and the future, he must also know other information.
Under these circumstances, Hiyorimar immediately checked Gu Yu's memories and indeed found the information it wanted.
"Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, World Serpent..."
"What the heck, these people can even kill a Herrscher with six cores merged into one? Then I'd be slaughtered if I went out there???"
"Kevin's still alive? This... this isn't logical."
The more it read, the more shocked it became. If Hiyorimar had initially planned to seize Gu Yu's body and cause trouble, now, it just wanted to regain its freedom and hide somewhere.
Let others fight the other Herrschers; it was too weak and would just be sending itself to its death.
"Yo, seen enough?"
However, as Hiyorimar continued to browse Gu Yu's memories, it suddenly heard an incredibly cold voice from behind it.
"You, you, you, you, how could you wake up so quickly?!"
Seeing the magenta demon appear behind it, Hiyorimar, now in human form, couldn't stop retreating.
"I've been awake the whole time."
As it approached Hiyorimar, Gu Yu coldly drew the Card Holder Sword.
"Come on, tell me, what did you see in my memories from five years ago?"
"F-five years ago's memories?"
Although they were enemies, and Hiyorimar theoretically had the upper hand, under the enemy's powerful pressure, Hiyorimar obediently began to flip through Gu Yu's past memories.
The young man's name was Gu Yu, and he had a happy and fulfilling family.
However, all of that turned to nothing in February 2014.
The young man was abducted by a mysterious organization, and his parents died at the hands of this organization.
Within that organization, the young man was forced to train, nearly dying at the hands of the organization's officers several times.
Just to survive, the young man endured all the training.
In the end, the organization's higher-ups selected the young man, modified his brain, and used drugs to enhance his physical fitness.
After seeing Gu Yu's past memories, Hiyorimar understood one thing.
This boy wasn't from this world.
And... he was actually the same kind of being as itself, which had once been used as an experimental subject.
"Speak. What did you see?"
Gu Yu said indifferently, pointing the tip of his sword at Hiyorimar.
"Tell me everything you saw."
"Tch, kid, who the hell wants to listen to you!"
After seeing half of it, Hiyorimar sneered and switched its form.
Within this Honkai Energy space, Hiyorimar could materialize anything.
And as long as it was here, it could easily devour the enemy's spirit and take their body by causing mental collapse in the person before it.
Thinking of the scenes in Gu Yu's memories, Hiyorimar selected one of the figures.
"Hehehe, I'll go with him."
Then, Hiyorimar, who had transformed into an old man in white robes, sneered and approached Gu Yu.
"This is one of the people you fear most in your memories. Come, come, give me two quick slashes."
Hmph, as long as you actually strike me, you'll be consumed by the pleasure of revenge.
At that time, Gu Yu, with his defenses down, would inevitably have his body's control taken by Hiyorimar.
However, Hiyorimar's plan was beautiful, but when it transformed into this old man with white hair, it didn't feel the slightest bit of hatred from Gu Yu.
"Ah, this... Dr. Death?"
"This is the person I fear the most?"
Looking at Hiyorimar before him, Gu Yu sighed softly.
"Sigh, forget it. You got the wrong memory, you bastard."
"Never mind, there's no need for you to continue rampaging. Corrosion Herrscher."
"Eh, wait????"
Seeing Gu Yu walk towards it without any emotional fluctuation, a cold sweat broke out on Hiyorimar's forehead.
Could it be...
--Did she really mess up???
Who wrote this script? The malice towards me is too strong!
