"This is... an illusion created by Higanbana based on my memories?" As she watched snowflakes swirl through the sky, Enoshia returned to Siberia once again, and her appearance changed back into Corrupted Elysia.
"Tch. If Higanbana hadn't taken advantage of my lowered guard and fought dirty, tricking and ambushing this comrade who wasn't even sixty-nine months old yet, I wouldn't have fallen for it."
Enoshia tried the same method she had used when fighting the Herrscher of Frost: concentrating her power at one point and corrupting the illusion. But another force pushed her back.
Enoshia wanted Higanbana to become her personal weapon after transforming into Kusanagi. How could Higanbana not want to digest her and break free from Yae Sakura's restrictions? After all, their powers were the closest, making an exclusion reaction the least likely.
"Looks like the current situation is that I can't get out, but it can't do anything to me either... We're both Herrschers of Corruption. Whoever corrupts the other will depend on who's stronger... It just isn't at its peak and is also restricted by Yae Sakura to a certain extent. Judging solely by energy intensity, it can't possibly be stronger than me. Although it has trapped me, it's like Theresa and the Herrscher of Binding activating Divine Prayer Barriers against each other. Within this space, its Honkai Energy and mine are constantly declining in sync. If we fight a war of attrition, I'll definitely win."
"So it can only gamble—gamble that the illusion created from my memories can break my defenses and make me collapse, then take advantage of my rapidly declining willpower to get inside... A world of despair... What a joke. I endured Teacher Shaoji and Ling Yi Niang's tearjerkers. I'd like to see how you plan to break my defenses."
