The Hidden Third Herrscher, Corruption! / The Fall of Corruption!

In short, with the disappearance of domination and constraint, all that remains is the last Herrscher before the Finality...

The Herrscher of Corruption!

"Theresa, welcome home."

At the Third Airport of the Schicksal Headquarters, Otto smiled as he looked at the Sumeru Grass God... oops, it's Schicksal Theresa!

The day after the Herrscher of Restraint was destroyed, Theresa returned to Schicksal Headquarters with the remaining members of the Far East Branch. Clearly, the Thousand-Man Herrscher had attacked St. Freya Academy. Although Theresa had temporarily subdued the Thousand-Man Herrscher using the power of the Judah Binding, however...

In the end, it only bought them a little time to escape. Half of the teachers at the St. Freya Academy were lost, and the number of students was about the same. The academy was severely damaged and there was almost no possibility of repair. It could only be rebuilt!

However, Theresa no longer wanted to rebuild St. Freya Academy; she felt... so tired!

"Yes, I'm back, Grandpa..."

Theresa smiled and looked at Otto. In the more than ten years she had been away from home, she had grown a lot and realized how difficult it was to lead an organization. She was already overwhelmed just managing St. Freya Academy, let alone her grandfather managing the entire Schicksal!

No wonder Grandpa kept talking about retiring after Ling Xi appeared. At first, I thought Grandpa was just saying it, but...

Well, with this workload, if it were me, I would definitely want to retire too. Running around all day, and in the end, I'm not even understood. What's the point?

"My dear granddaughter, come on, your room is always cleaned..."

Otto glanced at Theresa gently, then prepared to take her home. Although the girl had been away from home for ten years, and had only returned on very rare occasions, but...

Her room, however, remained the same, and...

The furniture, bedding, and daily necessities are constantly being replaced to ensure that Theresa can always have a place to stay when she returns!

"Yes, okay, Grandpa..."

Theresa didn't object either; she decided to go home first and talk about it there...

As for the Valkyrie unit of the Far East Branch, it has been reorganized into the Schicksal Headquarters, although the Valkyrie of the Far East Branch are now far weaker than those of the Headquarters!

In the evening, the three starter Pokémon also went to find Theresa, after all, it had been almost half a year since they last saw her!

Chapter 731 The Hidden Third Herrscher, Erosion!

A week has passed since the Herrscher of Restraint was destroyed, and the world is gradually returning to peace. Various post-disaster reconstruction efforts are proceeding in an orderly manner, and it seems...

The disaster is completely over!

However, everyone at the Schicksal Headquarters knew perfectly well that this was... merely the calm before the storm.

Therefore, everyone is preparing for the final enemy before the Finality!

"Hi, good morning, Dr. Mobius."

However, there is one exception: Elysia. No matter what, this girl always has a very energetic look.

"Good morning, Elysia."

Mobius smiled and looked at Elysia, saying, "By the way, Elysia, in order to deal with the final Herrscher, I plan to use a new method to Corrosion Herrscher into our trap. Elysia, what are your thoughts?"

"Hey... Doctor, shouldn't you be discussing this with Ling Xi?"

Elysia smiled helplessly and said, "After all, I'm not good at this kind of thing."

"Hmm... Of course we need to find Ling Xi, but your strength is also indispensable."

While pondering, Mobius said, "After all, among everyone, the person I trust the most, besides Klein and Ling Xi, is you. So, let's call Ling Xi and have a meeting together later."

"Okay, sure!"

Elysia agreed without hesitation.

Soon, Ling Xi arrived, and the three of them went to the laboratory together, but...

"Ling Xi, open the passage to the Quantum Sea."

In the laboratory, Mobius directly instructed Ling Xi to open the passage.

"Huh?"

Now, not only Elysia, but Ling Xi was also a little confused. Weren't they supposed to be discussing countermeasures? Why go to the Quantum Sea?

"It's not safe for us here."

Seeing that the two of them were somewhat puzzled, Mobius explained, "Therefore, it's best if we plan in the Quantum Sea, so that we can ensure that there will be no leaks."

"I see... I understand."

Upon hearing the Doctor's explanation, Ling Xi immediately had no more doubts.

"I see. Then let's go."

Elysia nodded in agreement, but then asked, "By the way, how are we getting back later? Should I stand guard at the door?"

"Don't worry."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "Elysia, are you underestimating our Ling Xi? For Ling Xi, going to the Quantum Sea is as easy as going home. Besides, do you think I'm the kind of person who would be reckless?"

"Um?"

Ling Xi was momentarily stunned, because... she remembered telling the Doctor more than half a month ago that she couldn't locate this world in the Quantum Sea, and given the Doctor's intelligence and attitude, it was clearly impossible for him to have forgotten such a thing, so...

Suddenly, Ling Xi seemed to understand something. The Doctor was secretly conveying a message to her, though she didn't know what it was...

The fact that the Doctor didn't want Elysia to know about this was also a message he was conveying.

"Ahem, Doctor, stop bragging. If you keep bragging, I'll get arrogant."

So Ling Xi decisively began to cooperate with her Doctor, but she was also a little worried. Could it be that the Doctor really wanted to go to the Quantum Sea together and then leave no way back?

"Alright, let's go."

Mobius didn't bother to explain further and decisively sent Ling Xi off.

"Okok!"

Ling Xi nodded helplessly, then struck the exact same pose as that day, activating the power of the Void Archives Core...

"Whoosh..."

This time, Ling Xi opened a spatial wormhole to the Quantum Sea in just three seconds. Looking at the wormhole, Elysia seemed somewhat wary, after all...

As Herrscher, once you arrive in the Quantum Sea, your Herrscher Core will be unable to extract energy from the Imaginary Space and will have to rely on the power of the Herrscher Core itself!

"Elysia ..."

At that moment, Mobius appeared behind Elysia and laughed, "And Ling Xi, let's go, and hurry, because we might not have much time left!"

"Okay, sure."

Elysia smiled and nodded, then lightly leaped into the Quantum Sea, followed closely by Ling Xi and Mobius.

"Doctor, can you say what you have to say now?"

Once the three of them arrived at the Quantum Sea, the spatial wormhole closed. Ling Xi looked at her Doctor again. Although she trusted her Doctor completely, Ling Xi was still puzzled by this "exile" to the Quantum Sea.

"Yeah yeah."

Elysia nodded and said, "Dr. Mobius, just tell me your plans. After you're done, let's go back as soon as possible. This place... is making me quite uncomfortable."

"It's normal to feel uncomfortable."

Mobius smiled slightly. "Because only here can the Corrosion Herrscher be unable to interfere with reality. I think... it's about time that Vill-V made her move."

"Um?"

Elysia seemed a little confused, and then...

[Remaining backups: 25]

[Remaining backups: 22]

[Remaining backups: 10]

When did you find out?

Seeing this, Elysia understood what Mobius meant. The other party... had already noticed her presence, but hadn't exposed her. Instead, he had dug a pit for her to fall into.

"Heh, when will that girl Elysia start calling me Doctor?"

Mobius simply offered a reason and laughed, "Then, Corrosion Herrscher, may I ask you to surrender?"

"Don't even think about it!"

The Corrosion Herrscher decisively swung her claw at Mobius!

"Bang!"

However, Ling Xi was already prepared, and with a single Spatial Shock, she sent Elysia (the Corrosion Herrscher) flying.

"Doctor, what should we do next?"

Ling Xi stood in front of Mobius, but she was also somewhat conflicted. Although she was absolutely certain she could kill him, but...

The other party is in Elysia's body, so this is even more awkward.

"Elysia, aren't you going to wake up?"

Mobius simply smiled and called out to Elysia.

"Oh dear, I thought I could watch a little longer, but it's already over?"

At this moment, Elysia seemed to have returned to normal, and then directly unleashed her own Herrscher power, evolving into the Origin Herrscher form!

"Aaaaaah..."

In an instant, the Corrosion Herrscher was expelled from Elysia's body, and at this moment, the Corrosion Herrscher also looked like Elysia, except... it was a faded version of Elysia.

"So, Miss Corrosion Herrscher, now..."

Mobius smiled at his opponent and asked, "Would you like to surrender?"

Chapter 732 The Destruction of Erosion!

"Damn it, why, why can you break free from my control?"

Looking at Elysia, the Corrosion Herrscher was filled with shock. She couldn't understand why Elysia, whom she had controlled for more than half a month without any problems, could expel her so easily.

"Heh, without Elysia's cooperation, do you really think you could corrupt a Herrscher of Origin?"

Although Mobius understood the adage that villains die from talking too much, he was not a villain, so he had nothing to fear!

"You... knew it from the beginning?"

Seeing the number of external backups return to zero, the Corrosion Herrscher knew she had lost, and... utterly lost. Now, she just wanted to know why it had turned out this way.

"That's right."

Mobius nodded slightly and smiled, "I knew from the beginning that what appeared at the same time was not just the Thousand People and the Restraint, but also the Herrscher of Corruption. However, the two of them are in the open, while you are in the shadows, but..."

"You didn't expect that the Thousand People and the Restraint would be defeated so quickly, so you can only risk eroding one target, and that target just happens to be Elysia."

"Hey-hey..."

Elysia smiled and said, "At first I wanted to kick you out, but then I felt sorry for you, that you don't even have a body, so I lent it to you to play with for a while. Don't worry, I have absolutely no ill intentions."

Ling Xi: "..." So, you two knew the truth from the beginning, and I was the only one kept in the dark, right?

At this moment, Ling Xi was also very shocked. She thought that the fusion of the two Herrscher was already an unprecedented phenomenon, but she did not expect that there would be a third Herrscher. The three Herrschers were united, and the traps were interlocked!

Even he himself hadn't imagined that the Herrscher of Corruption would appear in this way, because humanity had just defeated a new enemy, was basking in joy, and was actively preparing to fight the next Herrscher, however...

The next Herrscher had already appeared and infiltrated human society. Thankfully, the Doctor and Elysia were clever enough, otherwise...

This time, the Corrosion Herrscher might actually succeed!

Thinking of this, Ling Xi still felt lingering fear. Indeed, compared to these geniuses, she was still too naive.

"Ling Xi, let's do it!"

Mobius didn't hesitate at all; his time... was extremely precious!

Elysia used her energy to trap the Corrosion Herrscher in place. At this moment, the Corrosion Herrscher was facing... a dead end!

"Feel sorry..."

Ling Xi apologized, a final act of respect for the Honkai, and then...

"Whoosh!"

A flash of fire streaked across the sky, and the body of the Corrosion Herrscher began to dissipate...
