Honkai: Oh No, I’ve Become the Herrscher of Corruption?! - Chapter 112

Enoxia opened her eyes and found herself lying on a soft, comfortable bed.

“Ah, Eno~ you’re finally awake! You slept for so long—you really gave us a scare!”

Elysia suddenly appeared in her field of vision, extending a hand toward her. Enoxia grasped it, and Elysia gently pulled her up.

Though Elysia’s face still wore a smile, Enoxia could see the worry in her heart.

“Big sis… where… am I?”

“We’re in the lunar base, silly~ Looks like you really don’t remember anything, huh? But everyone will be so happy to see you safe and sound, won’t they?”

No sooner had Elysia finished speaking than—thud!—the door to the room burst open, and Sirin, Kiana, and… a grown-up Ivan came tumbling in, collapsing onto the floor in a heap.

Bella, hearing the commotion, hurried over with quick, light steps and promptly helped Sirin up.

It was then that Enoxia realized something—she could no longer use the Herrscher of Corruption’s powers. She existed here only in physical form.

“Now, now~ Eno just woke up, and her memories are still patchy. We all know you mean well, but barging in on a girl who just woke up isn’t very polite, is it~?”

The three of them awkwardly shuffled out, though not without casting frequent glances back at Enoxia. Their eyes held more than just joy—there was guilt mixed in as well.

“So… big sis, what exactly happened?”

Elysia took a deep breath before speaking slowly.

“Do you remember? After defeating the Herrscher of Binding, we flew to the moon together, searching for a better solution—one beyond the Stigma Project.”

“But before we could even meet Kevin, [■■■■] appeared. We managed to defeat them, but… we missed our best chance to stop the Stigma Project. In desperation, you extracted the data of all seven billion people on Earth, hoping that at least their memories could survive within human civilization after the project’s completion…”

“In the end, we did overcome the Finality… but you…”

By this point, Enoxia already understood what Elysia was trying to say. She knew full well that her Herrscher core had been exhausted. Most likely, it was only through some method employed by Kiana—now the Herrscher of Finality—that she had survived at all.

The current her was, in every sense, just an ordinary girl—one who looked like nothing more than a palette-swapped Elysia. Now, more than ever, she was closer to being human.

“But…”

Enoxia had barely uttered a single word when Elysia pressed a finger to her lips.

“I know what you’re going to ask. Hua, Kevin, and Theresa… they’ve all left the stage. Don’t worry—their final acts were grand and beautiful.”

“Especially Theresa. The moment she unleashed her Zeroth Power in her artificial Herrscher form, she had everyone’s attention~”

Listening to Elysia’s slightly trembling voice, Enoxia gently placed her hand over hers, interlacing their fingers.

“There’s no need to be like this, big sis. Right now, I’m closer than ever to being just an ordinary, normal person.”

“Because I’m ordinary, I can cling to you every day, refusing to let go until I’ve had my fill. Because I’m ordinary, no matter how much I pester Sirin by squishing her cheeks or hugging Kiana’s waist, they’ll indulge me. Because I’m ordinary, even if I’m not Sirin, Bella will still cook me a feast when I ask. See? The life of an ordinary person isn’t so bad, is it~?”

Hearing this, Elysia let out a soft laugh.

“Eno~ sometimes, you really are adorably silly. You never needed to be ordinary for those things. Even now, if you wanted to stay in my arms longer or make even more unreasonable demands, I’d happily oblige~”

Through the crack in the door, Enoxia caught sight of Cecilia outside, speaking with Kiana.

“Big sis… how much time do we have left before the end?”

“About a week. After all, we didn’t completely fail.”

Enoxia blinked, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “You did just promise to fulfill all my wishes, didn’t you~?”

Elysia poked her cheek playfully. “Mhm~ I always keep my word.”

“Then tonight… I want Kiana and Cecilia to sleep in the same bed as me!”

Elysia froze, then put on an exaggeratedly hurt expression. “My, my~ And here I thought I would be included. Do you have any idea how much this wounds me~?”

Enoxia huffed. “If you joined in, you’d probably have your hands all over them before I even got the chance!”

In Honkai Impact 3rd, no matter which timeline you fantasized about, if Elysia was part of your harem, you had to ask yourself a very serious question:

Was it really your harem… or hers?

Elysia hesitated. “But… what about Mei and Siegfried?”

“I don’t care! Tonight, I’m having the mother-daughter combo!”

“As for Siegfried… just have Misteln wear blue-green contacts and dress up as Cecilia. They’re both Schariacs—they look the same anyway. Close enough~”

*(Siegfried: “9/10, because 6 got flipped.”)*

“And Mei? Big sis, your thoughts are all over your face. With Kiana gone, wouldn’t this be the perfect chance for you to spend the whole night by Mei’s side, stroking those wonderfully textured horns of hers~?”

Enoxia knew she was being utterly unreasonable. But with the Finality arriving in a week, even the most outrageous desires didn’t matter anymore. If the world was ending, why not indulge while they still could?

“Sigh… For the sake of my dear little sister, I’ll swallow my pride and talk to Kiana and Cecilia.”

Elysia’s mind drifted back to her time in the Elysian Realm, recalling the sensation of running her fingers along Mei’s horns. A tear—no, a trickle of drool—escaped the corner of her mouth.

Night fell. Enoxia opened the bedroom door to find Cecilia and Kiana already waiting inside. At the sight, her heart raced, and a blush crept across her cheeks.

“Uh… about earlier… that was just me and Elysia being ridiculous. I didn’t actually expect… you to come.”

Cecilia shook her head gently. “Enoxia, our lives only continued because of you. If fulfilling your wish to experience a ‘mother-daughter combo’ is all it takes, then there’s no harm in it.”
