However, at this moment, everyone in the Moth of Flames base was staring at Alicia. Alicia could sense the fear and dread in many people's hearts. Some people's gazes were gradually turning bloodshot and crazed. Could this be related to Alicia and the 12th Herrscher?! Otherwise, why would their voices be exactly the same?!
But they dared not make any move, simply because Alicia was a powerful fusion warrior.
"This, this, this isn't what I said at all!" Alicia tried to convince the others that she genuinely had no idea what was going on.
Fortunately, most people were just on guard and observing, without taking any action.
However, the fact that humans felt fear and dread towards Alicia, the second strongest fusion warrior who protected them, simply because their voices were the same, demonstrates the extent of humanity's hatred and fear of the Herrschers.
"I believe you, Airi! This must be a conspiracy by the Twelfth Herrscher!" Kevin stepped forward to express his trust. What exactly is the Twelfth Herrscher planning?!
"Oh dear, my poor Alicia! She was misunderstood and distrusted by humans because of just a few words, and she's so upset that she's having a mental breakdown, crying and making a scene. Waaaaah, so pitiful!"
A girl with blue-purple gradient hair, almost identical in appearance and uniform to Alicia, sat smiling at the edge of the electronic screen. She seemed to have stepped out of the screen, her orange-red eyes watching the Moth Chaser group with interest, though her gaze was more focused on Alicia.
“I didn’t cry or make a scene!” Alicia retorted instinctively.
But when she saw the girl who looked like a faded version of herself, Alicia was stunned.
Hi, nice to meet you?
"Alicia?"
Chapter 311 Sister
"Everyone be careful, she is the 12th Herrscher!" Mebius stared intently at the Herrscher who looked remarkably like Alicia. Even though she didn't say it a few times, everyone knew that the person in front of them was the 12th Herrscher.
Many fusion warriors were on high alert, ready to attack the 12th Herrscher at any moment, except for Alicia, whose blue eyes were currently locked in a gaze with the 12th Herrscher's.
Alicia and the 12th Herrscher are so similar that even their confident smiles and expressions are almost identical. However, Alicia's smile is gentler, while the 12th Herrscher's smile is aggressive.
"Why did you disguise yourself as me?" Alicia gripped her bow and arrow tightly, looking at the 12th Herrscher.
She was certain that the 12th Herrscher was imitating her voice and appearance, just like a faded version of herself.
However, Alicia felt that although the 12th Herrscher was similar to herself, she was not like a second Alicia, but rather a completely different person who was similar to Alicia.
Although Alicia was also very curious about the 12th Herrscher, she couldn't speak to the 12th Herrscher in a calm manner under the circumstances, as many humans around them were watching her and the 12th Herrscher.
However, this was a critical moment for the survival of human civilization. Having witnessed the deaths of countless humans, Alicia was no longer able to have a proper conversation with these Herrschers who wanted to destroy human civilization.
"Because I like you, Alicia?"
Alicia blinked her beautiful eyes. Wait a minute? What is this Herrscher saying?
The fusion warriors and the others were also momentarily stunned.
At this moment, the 12th Herrscher smiled and picked up the microphone that had suddenly appeared in her hand.
"Then, let me introduce myself?"
The voice of the 12th Herrscher resounded around every electronic screen, reaching the ears of every surviving human on Earth.
Dr. Mei and the Fusion Warriors soon received reports that the voice of the Twelfth Herrscher could be heard around every electronic screen visible on Earth.
[If it wants to do something, how can humanity resist?] Dr. Mei still cannot analyze what the 12th Herrscher's special ability is. Could it be that it controls electronic screens? But how can we explain that the 12th Herrscher came out of the electronic screens?
Just now, Dr. Mei witnessed the 12th Herrscher appear on the electronic screen of the base, and then stepped out of the screen and sat on the edge of the screen with her long, shapely legs crossed.
This is absolutely unbelievable.
At this moment, the 12th Herrscher's gaze swept over every human in front of her. Many dared to meet her eyes, except for those Firemoth soldiers, Fusion Warriors, and a group of scientists who harbored deep hatred.
Finally, her gaze met Alicia's again.
"I am the 12th Herrscher of Corruption, ranked 12th among all Herrschers."
"Humans, you can call me Erosion, or you can call me Erosion Treasure, okay?"
The 12th Herrscher gave Alicia a playful and cute wink. If you ignore her Herrscher identity, the Herrscher of Corruption, like Alicia, is a beautiful girl as lovely as a flower.
"Of course, you can also call me Airi. Listen, aren't the names Airi and Alicia very similar? Just like the relationship between me and Alicia, right?"
The words spoken by the Herrscher of Corruption who called herself Airi have already enraged the Fusion Warriors. She's just a fake Herrscher who likes to imitate others!
"No need to say more! Herrscher! You are just a fake who is good at disguise! You will always be Alicia, and you can never compare to Alicia!" Kevin's eyes were filled with anger as he drew the Heavenly Fire Greatsword and pointed it directly at the Herrscher of Corruption.
Eden, Aponia, Su, Mebius, Kosmo, and other fusion warriors also showed anger. They could not tolerate what the Herrscher of Corruption had said. Alicia was the most beautiful girl in the hearts of all the fusion warriors, and they would never allow a damned Herrscher to imitate Alicia!
"Oh dear, oh dear?" The Herrscher of Corruption showed no anger at this scene. Instead, she smiled charmingly at the Fusion Warriors and then looked at Alicia, whose expression was complicated.
"My sister? We two sisters are really pitiful, both of us are deeply misunderstood by humans."
"..."
The rage in the hearts of the many fusion warriors intensified. What was that damned Herrscher of Corruption saying?!
However, Alicia felt somewhat lost, because she had a strange feeling that the Herrscher of Corruption was not lying, and that her connection with her was even closer than Alicia had imagined.
"Die, Herrscher!!!" Kevin attacked first, and the other fusion warriors quickly protected the others, letting them retreat first.
Without hesitation, Alicia raised her bow and arrow.
However, at this moment, Kevin, who was holding the Skyfire Greatsword, was stunned. Alicia was also stunned. All the fusion warriors, including every human in the base, were stunned.
The Herrscher of Corruption gave a cute yawn, then nimbly jumped off the electronic screen, her black high-heeled boots making a crisp sound as they stepped onto the base floor.
“They can’t move.” Dr. Mei realized she could still speak, watching the approaching Herrscher of Corruption. In fact, everyone could still speak, but they were all stunned and speechless because of the sudden change.
What is going on here?
"I've already told you, I am the Herrscher of Corruption?"
The Herrscher of Corruption had been spreading the Corruption Virus from the very beginning. The Honkai energy of the Fusion Warriors began to be corrupted as soon as it came into contact with the Corruption Virus, and of course, the same was true for those mental Fusion Warriors. The Corruption Virus is called a virus, but it can corrupt anything, including the mind.
Her wandering around wasn't just out of boredom; the entire surviving human population on Earth had been silently eroded by the virus.
"Oh? You think that easily dealing with the first 11 humans gives you the illusion that Herrschers are nothing special?"
The Herrscher of Corruption walked up to Alicia, smiled sweetly, but then suddenly whispered.
"Hmm, it seems like this line has been said many times already?"
Alicia's mind was completely blank. What was this Herrscher of Corruption all about? What was their relationship? Were they really sisters? And what was she saying?
"The first 11 humans..." Dr. Mei was taken aback. What did the Herrscher of Corruption mean?
Then Dr. Mei recalled a possibility and looked at the Herrscher of Corruption.
"You're saying that the previous 11 Herrschers were all, human?"
The Herrscher of Corruption blinked, then released her control over Dr. May.
"Oh right, you've been dealing with humans all along, haven't you?"
"They only obtained the Herrscher cores, making them capable of using Herrscher powers. They're just humans, and not even normal humans; they're all mentally unstable individuals."
"What normal person would be so brain-dead as to openly start a fight?"
Dr. Mei frowned, eager to get some answers.
"But according to our research, they have all been controlled by the Honkai consciousness! They are not human at all!"
"What kind of Honkai consciousness is that rigid program?" The Herrscher of Corruption walked up to Dr. Mei and approached her cheek.
Their breaths and body temperature were incredibly close at that moment.
"The Honkai consciousness you speak of is, in essence, just an extremely powerful program for humanity, which is why you were able to devise various plans to preserve the human race."
"If a Honkai consciousness truly existed, or if the previous humans were genuine Herrschers, or even if any sane human obtained Herrscher powers, then you would have all been happily reunited long ago, ah, in the underworld, of course."
Faced with the Herald of Corruption's nonchalant words, Dr. Mei was speechless for a moment.
Because she was right. Dr. Mei herself had calculated in her mind what she could do if she obtained any of the Herrscher powers, and without exception, it would be to easily blow up the earth or destroy humanity.
To Dr. Mei's relief, however, the powers of the Herrschers are often obtained by some mentally unstable or uneducated fools, yet even so, they have caused unparalleled damage to Earth's civilization.
Dr. Mei was beginning to believe what the Herrscher of Corruption had said: that the previous 11 Herrschers were just a group of humans who had obtained Herrscher powers, just like many other high-ranking humans who had obtained power but were greedy, selfish, and good at infighting, and were all incredibly stupid.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Dr. Mei asked directly, no longer trying to find out.
"Of course I'm here to meet my dear sister!"
"Alicia, my beloved older sister?"
The Herrscher of Corruption returned to Alicia, reaching out to cup her delicate and adorable face. Then, her voluptuous body pressed tightly against Alicia's equally voluptuous body, and her face, identical to Alicia's, buried itself in Alicia's neck, deeply inhaling Alicia's scent.
Alicia's face was flushed, her expression a complex mix of conflict, shyness, and confusion.
“But I’ve never seen you before…” Alicia regained control of her body and tried to break free from the Herrscher of Corruption’s embrace.
"How many years have you been in this world?"
The Herrscher of Corruption raised her head and chuckled softly.
"One hundred million years? Ten million years? Or one hundred thousand years? One thousand years? Ah, it seems like I've only been on Earth for less than 50 years."
Dr. Mei was also incredibly curious about Alicia's true origins. The Fusion Warriors had all vaguely guessed something during their long-term interactions with Alicia, but none of them revealed it or told anyone else.
Only now.
Dr. Mei glanced at the humans still trapped in place. They were all listening. Many of them had once loved and admired Alicia, but after learning that Alicia's true identity was very likely that of a Herrscher as well, they quickly showed hatred and malice.
Why doesn't she dare to hate the Herrscher of Corruption? Because she controlled herself and actually dared to take action.
Why do I hate Alicia? Because Alicia is kind, a good person, no, a good Herrscher.
Good people are more likely to have guns pointed at them.
“So, I am…” Alicia was extremely conflicted. Even though she already knew in her heart, she still dared not admit it in front of many humans who hated the Herrscher.
The Herrscher of Corruption gently stroked Alicia's long hair, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. At this moment, the malice of almost all of humanity on Earth was directed at her.
"My sister, and also the sister of all Herrschers."
The Herrscher of Corruption helped Alicia keep out the malicious emotions of those humans. Corruption powers can, of course, also corrupt emotions.
"The Lawbringer of Origin"
Chapter 312 Saving you, what does it have to do with you?
"Okay, okay, my dear sister, don't cry anymore?"
"If you cry again, you'll turn into a little kitten."
Alicia wept silently, glistening tears sliding down her cheeks, but were gently wiped away by the Herrscher of Corruption.
"Aili! Don't believe her! She's a Herrscher! A Herrscher born evil! A Herrscher who's full of lies!"
The shouts from the other fusion warriors behind her caused Alicia immense inner turmoil.
After the Herrscher of Erosion revealed Alicia's true identity, Alicia understood that she was indeed the Herrscher of Origin, and that the Herrscher of Erosion was intimately connected to her; they were both members of the Herrscher order.
However, Alicia still loves humanity in her heart.
"Honkai, why has it happened?" Alicia asked, trembling.
Am I the culprit who brought about this collapse?
After realizing her identity as a Herrscher, Alicia had this doubt in her heart: Herrschers are born with Honkai, and as the Herrscher of Origin, was she brought about Honkai by the village?
Billions of lives on Earth have been lost in the catastrophe of collapse. Did many of my friends, those innocent people, die because of me?
"Boom"
"Whoops"
A sudden sharp rap on the head made Alicia clutch her head in pain, tears welling up in her eyes again.
"You're overthinking it. The Honkai's arrival has nothing to do with you, sister."
The Herrscher of Corruption could tell at a glance what Alicia was thinking.
"The reason for the Honkai's arrival is actually quite simple," the Herrscher of Corruption said, patting Alicia's head to comfort her.
"You guys are just unlucky, aren't you?"
The Herrscher of Erosion's voice was light and cheerful.
"..."
Dr. Mei stared intently at the Herrscher of Corruption.
What does that mean? What does "bad luck" mean? Are humans unlucky?
The Law of Erosion shrugged.
"An alien civilization is experimenting with some replicas, and then randomly dropping these replicas throughout the universe. Your solar system is one of those unlucky things that happened to you, becoming an experimental zone."
