Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

The most powerful being in the paradise of the past at this moment could hardly control himself because of this sudden emotion.

However, this emotion was not her original intention.

[…Is this Ai Lishia’s feeling? What happened?]

As she entered the teleportation anchor point, what caught her eye was not Mei's figure.

As an omniscient being, she immediately confirmed the reason - a huge birdcage rose from the ground, trapping her and another person inside.

[So it's you... Kosmo, did you make the same choice as Qianjie? Regardless of everything, just to stand on the opposite side of me?]

"No wonder Kosmo's memories were playing all the time. Does that mean... another Yingjie will be corrupted next?"

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Kiana has been watching the plot here for such a long time, and she has almost understood what kind of existence the Herrscher of Corrosion is to the heroes.

Even the most powerful Kevin and Alicia's memory could not defeat it, so whose memory in the paradise can defeat it?

Kosmo must have known this when he went into battle, but he still chose to attack.

I guess at this moment, he must have come here with the determination to die.

"Kosmo... He is such a warm-hearted and good boy."

"Rather than being enthusiastic, what about being responsible?"

"Anyway, it seems like he's hopeless. Haha~ The editor of this game has a really twisted mentality to let a little kid die so easily."

As the Herrscher of Corrosion mentioned Kosmo, comments from the audience immediately floated across the live broadcast room.

Kosmo and the others all knew that since he had come here, it meant that he was fully prepared.

Even if the final price is a painful death, I believe he will accept it without complaint...

Before officially fighting with Kosmo, Erosion seemed to remember something, stopped, and began to carefully check Vilvi's data.

"And once you make this decision, you are doomed to lose everything you will experience from now on."

[But...Kosmo, at that time, you didn't accept Vivi's mind division in the end.]

[If you release your "overweight super-transformation" here, then... you will really have nothing left. ]

After mumbling to himself, the Herrscher of Corrosion put on the smile that "Alishia" should have on his face again and walked forward again.

At least in her understanding, as long as she is not "alone", Alicia will never allow herself to sink into grief.

The scene before her was exactly what she had imagined.

[Has the situation I least want to see happened again? Or can you give me another answer...Kosmo?]

Finally, the camera was turned to Kosmo.

At this moment, he was facing away from the Ruler of Corrosion.

Reveals an inexplicable sense of chivalry.

"There is no point in talking any more, Herr."

"This will not be your hunting ground."

When saying these words, Kosmo's subtitles were circled with a "".

This seems to mean that his words actually have a deeper meaning...

However, the Herrscher of Erosion could not hear this and just began to dissuade him.

[What a cold and heartless name - have you heard everything about me?]

[Including my... "Invincibility"?]

In response to Erosion's whispered question, Kosmo did not say anything, but just stood there quietly.

Like a statue... or a painting.

[——From your expression, it seems so. Since you know that you have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with me... then, are you here to try to create an opportunity for Mei?]

"...Not an attempt."

"I'm afraid you can't go any further, Herrscher of Corrosion."

The meaning of Kosmo's words was quite clear, which meant that he would stop the Herrscher of Corrosion from advancing at all costs.

In other words, as everyone guessed, he came here with the determination to die.

[——Before you completely collapsed? ]

The young man nodded.

The Herrscher of Corrosion felt Kosmo's determination, but she still did not express her attitude or confront him head-on.

After all, she truly loves these heroes.

So I still hope that these memories can be more sensible and treat their lives well.

[It's like this again. It's fine for other people... But, Kosmo, based on my understanding of you... the so-called "self-sacrifice" is probably the most unacceptable thing for you, right?]

Afterwards, the Herrscher of Corrosion began to urge Kosmo to mend his ways, and even mentioned his companion Hen, who was both his mentor and friend.

That was a part of Kosmo's past, and it was also the reason why he no longer chose to be a hero like Kevin.

However, Kosmo now has a new understanding of what happened in the past.

Therefore, after the Ruler of Erosion mentioned Hen and expressed what Kosmo had thought in the past.

Kosmo interrupted her.

"...Indeed. But everything you said about Hen is "far from the truth."

[Kosmo, don't force yourself, okay?]

Erosion expresses doubt, or questioning.

Because she didn't think Kosmo's thoughts were any different from what she said.

However, even when questioned, Kosmo's response remained unchanged.

"I'm not saying one thing and thinking another."

"From the very beginning, the decision Hen made was not to choose between two evils... but to have the best of both worlds."

"It was because he found the only way for me that I can now stand here - in front of you, to do what I should do."

Although Kosmo's words were righteous and sounded exactly like what he would say in this situation.

But the Ruler of Corrosion still felt that the Kos demon in front of him... was quite wrong!

(What's going on? Kosmo's personality and thoughts... are like a completely different person. He clearly hasn't performed mind splitting...)

Erosion thought about it secretly in her heart, and then she offered to stay for the last time.

[No kidding, Kosmo, just treat it as a request, okay? Let's fight it out here... There's no suspense for me. ]

[You should also know that the "backup" that Weiwei mentioned is impossible to be effective against me.]

[Don't let yourself... suffer two evils again. ]

In other words, what erosion means is that if you persist in your wrong course, you will really die.

But such a straightforward death announcement ultimately received a response of...

"...No need to say more."

Kosmo replied calmly, showing no intention of compromising or cooperating.

To be honest, this answer did not surprise the Ruler of Corrosion.

After all, there was the precedent of Ying, and she knew it was impossible to persuade these heroes to stop meddling in other people's business.

[Well... after coming here, I knew what I would face... but it's really ironic. I should be a "villain", but I have to "force" you to live again and again. ]

Having said that, it would be a waste of time to say more.

The Ruler of Erosion also knows that wasting time is extremely disadvantageous to him.

Therefore, for the heroes, delaying time is the best way.

So she doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

"Of course, Herrscher of Corrosion..."

As soon as he finished speaking, blue flames ignited all over Kosmo's body.

This is unique to the super-mutation factor Honkai beast that he has fused with, and when he shows this characteristic, it means that he will activate the heavy super-mutation form.

[Anyway, I look more like a villain...right?]

As Kosmo completely abandoned everything in the past and everything he might have in the future, his body no longer had any human features.

Cyan skin, flamboyant wings, and sharp claws...

The characteristics of these Honkai beasts combined make it hard to believe that he is a human being.

But at this moment, Kosmo, who had already risked everything, chose to fight for humanity.

The next second, Kosmo rushed over.

Seeing this, the Ruler of Erosion was speechless.

[Alas...it ended up like this.]

She grumbled as she fought the Kosmos.

[Why do you have to do this... Kosmo, look at you, you can't even speak anymore.]

Of course, rather than complaining, it would be more accurate to say that the Ruler of Corrosion is trying to awaken the Kosmo.

Therefore, during the conversation, Kosmo did not forget to talk about the outside world and... the real Kevin and Grayshu.

It’s a pity that Kosmo has no way to regain his sanity in this state.

This means that once the battle begins, there is no turning back.

However, Kosmo's sacrifice did not bring him any good reward.

As the battle progressed, his health gradually dropped, and his movements became slower...

[The efficiency of erosion... has slowed down? Kosmo...you...Kosmo...is this your real purpose?]

The Herrscher of Corrosion stopped what he was doing and began to evaluate Kosmo's behavior.

[Simply entering "Overweight Transformation" to increase your strength is indeed meaningless in front of me... But "Vishnu's" instinct to devour... can it also work for "Erosion"?]

[In other words, from just now on, you have been....... "devouring yourself"?]

Of course, these are just her guesses. After all, according to common sense, this seems to be the only possibility.

"Devour itself? Does it mean to devour the eroded parts? It seems feasible, but it will be very painful, right?"

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

After learning about this concept, Kiana couldn't help but sigh that Kosmo was really smart.

But at the same time, she could also guess what kind of pain she would have to endure if she did so.

After the Ruler of Corrosion realized the concept of devouring, she had already guessed what Kosmo was planning.

[No, although it can indeed slow down the symptoms, it can't really stop me, it's just...]

However, due to this characteristic, the process will be extremely long.

In her opinion, the time, which was originally more than enough, would probably be far from enough if it was wasted here even if it was given a hundred times more.

This... is an absolutely unacceptable risk.

(Aliceia...if it were you, what would you do?)

But she changed her mind and stopped thinking like this.

There are indeed some "differences" between the two of them that cannot be made up by data at all - whether she is worried that this will be confirmed, she herself may not be able to give an accurate answer.

But there was one thing she couldn't ignore. When she made a decision - a decision that the real Alicia would never make, she didn't even hesitate.

[Kosmo...please forgive me. ]

The Herrscher of Corrosion finally chose the simplest and most direct option, but it was also something Alicia would never do.

[Everyone I love...has clearly gained eternal and beautiful life in my body. ]
