"So? Someone is trying to deceive us with this inferior fake?" Mei took a deep breath and turned to speak to the Herrscher of Corruption.
"Why?" Mei's question contained many layers of meaning, including questions about the current situation and why the Herrscher of Corruption helped her.
"First of all, I want to make one thing clear. We are not the ones you have fought in the true sense." The Herrscher of Corruption pointed at the Herrscher on the ground, who was acting more obediently than ever before.
"At best, we are just some residues, which are then completed by a great existence, so we can move freely."
"You may not be able to see it in this world where Honkai energy is extremely scarce, but if you go to another world, you will find it easily."
"The 'corruption' I can do right now is just the limit, and that loser on the ground is very powerful for having ten so-called 'selves'." The Herrscher of Corruption revealed her origins.
"And the guy who possesses the power of Binding is even worse. His power can only cover this small shop."
"So our ability has been weakened to less than one percent compared to the 'original' version." The Herrscher of Corruption shook her head in self-mockery.
"Of course, this is just my ability and it's just one of the reasons why I help you."
The Herrscher of Corruption stroked her blue-purple hair: "The most important thing is that I don't just want to fight with you..."
"After all! It's really too much to plot against a girl who is pursuing love!" The Herrscher of Corruption fiddled with the ends of her soft hair. "And to use fake goods to deceive that beautiful and innocent girl! It's simply unforgivable."
"So I couldn't stand this kind of excessive thing, so I defected!" The Herrscher of Corruption said, spreading her hands. "That's what I thought, believe it or not..."
"That's absolutely right!" The original Elysia said excitedly, clenching her fists, "Your idea really coincides with mine!"
Two pairs of eyes, one pink and one blue-purple, two similar faces stared at Mei in unison, and then said in very similar voices at the same time: "After all, beautiful girls are the most precious things in the world! Don't you think so, Mei..."
Looking at the strange duet in front of her, Mei subconsciously took a step back.
"No! One Elysia is already enough of a headache, why is there another one now! Is it because you won the fight and it's a super double?"
"What beautiful girl?!" The Herrscher of Domination finally couldn't help but complain, "She is clearly an old woman who can't find her man. She goes crazy when she sees her man... she can't wait to pounce on him..."
In the final analysis, the Herrscher still couldn't control her mouth and complained subconsciously.
"Huh?" But the next moment after she finished speaking, she felt his neck loosen, and her vision started rolling.
As the puppet's head gently fell to the ground, the Herrscher saw Mei with a murderous look on her face. Her beautiful face was so dark that it was scary...
"You bastard..." After realizing that she was beheaded by a single blow, the Herrscher of Domination said her last words before her head hit the ground, "...Did I hit a sore spot?"
Then the entire puppet, with its head separated from its body, lost all life, and all it could say was that it died without any regrets.
Mei subconsciously shook the knife, shook off the non-existent blood on it, and then sheathed the blade: "So, who is the mastermind behind this? Who planned such a wicked trap?"
After seeing the Ruler of Domination being beheaded so cleanly, the Herrscher of Corruption felt a chill on her neck and touched it instinctively.
'Fortunately, I surrendered early, otherwise, I would be the one being beheaded now right?'
"It's a guy named Otto..." The Herrscher of Corruption decisively sold out her teammates. He was the one who planned all this.
"Otto?" Mei narrowed her eyes, "What a familiar name."
At this moment, another tunnel suddenly appeared in the sky.
Mei was very familiar with the style of this tunnel. That was the ability of the Herrscher of the Void!
And the person who fell out of it made Mei feel even more familiar.
"Isn't this our Bishop Otto? What a coincidence, you're here too?" Mei greeted the falling and swearing blond man with a 'kind' smile on her face.
Let's go forward a little in time…
"What? It turns out that you Herrschers are unreliable..." Seeing the Herrscher of Corruption surrender decisively, Kiana was really furious.
'You have to know that in this event where the Honkai is so severely suppressed, it is not easy for me to forcibly inject a large amount of Honkai from another world, the moon, to repair you guys.'
'What's the result? You surrendered! Where is your integrity as a Herrscher?'
In fact, in a sense, after the sudden change of boss, the employees under her had their own ideas for quite a long time...
"Although things are somewhat unexpected and there are some differences in subtle details, we have basically achieved their anger strategy." Otto, who had turned into a 'dog-headed military advisor' at this time, said indifferently.
"I believe that they will not resort to physical violence as soon as they meet, as long as they have some remaining anger. They can sit down and talk it out calmly..."
"I think I have completed the mission now..." Otto turned around and wanted to leave.
But suddenly he felt a powerful force restraining his body.
Otto turned his head and smiled stiffly: "Well, it's almost over. There's no use for me here, right? If possible, I want to go back to sleep..."
Kiana smiled very innocently, her pair of azure blue pupils were free of any impurities: "I feel that you haven't done enough. After all, the first effort will weaken the second, and the third will be exhausted..."
"Now it has only reached the stage of second decline. As for the final step of third exhaustion, I am honored to hand it over to you, dear Bishop Otto..."
"Sirin!" Kiana greeted her 'sister'.
"Haha! Otto, you are such a guy. You have been calculating this and that all day long, and finally you got yourself involved! You deserve it!" This was the most perfect day for Sirin. After watching a whole day's drama, there was such an exciting ending!
