(The previous chapter has been revised. It seems like Kallen doesn’t look like someone who can open doors with fists... I’ll use a gun instead.)

After the door opened, several people went upstairs along the stairs. As soon as they reached the second floor, they saw many dead soldiers who were infected by Honkai Energy. The few people didn't waste any time, looked at each other, drew their weapons one after another, and began to eliminate these dead soldiers.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Choke!"

"Canglang!"

As Lin Yu, Yae Sakura, and Kallen cooperated with each other, the dead fell to the ground one after another.

As the dead soldiers fell to the ground one by one, red rays of light gathered from the dead soldiers who were reduced to ashes, flew towards Hitamamaru, and merged into her body.

At the same time, many memory scenes appeared in Hitamaru's mind.

"This way humans will be safe."

"We've taken down another Herrscher!"

A man in protective clothing, holding a bloody dagger in his hand, looked at the body lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

There were some soldiers with live ammunition around, cheering at the corpses on the ground.

"Although this kid hasn't done anything bad."

"But now that she has become a Herrscher, we can't let her go."

"Using my authority, I finally sneaked in with someone and killed her!"

"Ah?! What's going on!?"

I saw a ball of black energy emerging from the corpse, and alarms sounded all around.

"Obviously...obviously I haven't done anything bad..."

A girl's voice also sounded around.

"How is it possible? The Herrscher is already dead!?"

People wearing protective clothing suddenly felt endless fear in their hearts.

"Why! Why do you want to hurt me!"

I saw a strange change in the corpse on the ground. The whole corpse quickly decomposed into a black mist. The black mist converged into a black figure and appeared on the spot. Then the black mist spread, and the soldiers who were cheering around them started to appear.

In fear, they all became infected and became dead soldiers.

This is the true form of Herrscher of Corrosion: an ultimate virus with self-awareness!

Not only can she corrode living things, but she can also control machines made by humans. Now, this virus, with the girl's hatred for humans, has completely taken over the base's defense system.

...

Several people went up one level after another, constantly destroying the dead soldiers. After the dead soldiers were eliminated, red light continued to flow into Hitamamaru's body, causing one after another to appear in her mind.

memory.

...

"Finally...finally sealed this demon..."

"How could such a thing happen, that the power was awakened after death..."

"And not only can it control Honkaimon, it can even control machines and other life forms..."

"Even if this box is used to isolate the penetration of her consciousness, the Herrscher's consciousness is not dead..."

"So many people have died because of her, so let her slowly repent of her crimes over the endless years..."

...

"As my strength becomes stronger, the memories that flood into my mind give me increasingly stronger feelings."

"I hurt a lot of people a long time ago. Tens of thousands, no, millions of people."

Hitamaru's expression became darker and darker, and the memories in her mind made her feel endless fear of her previous actions.

"What's wrong? You look ugly." Yae Sakura saw something wrong with Hitamamaru's expression and asked with concern.

"Sister, if I am really a bad person, what will you do?" Hitamamaru said with some expectation and fear, "As my power becomes stronger, I become more and more afraid. I will use this

The power to hurt others.”

"Don't worry, Hitamaru. Before that, I will make you into a barbecue, grill it with charcoal, brush it with soy sauce, chili sauce, and sprinkle with minced garlic and chopped green onion." Before Yae Sakura could speak, Lin Yu interrupted.

said.

"Wow, no! I don't want to be made into a roasted meat." Hitamaru looked like he was about to cry.

"Then control your own power and don't be controlled by it." Lin Yu pinched her face and said.

"Lin Yu is right, Hitamaru, remember, power is a double-edged sword. The important thing is not to be controlled by power, but to control power." Yae Sakura said, "If one day, you really

If you have fallen into evil ways, then I promise you that I will kill you before you hurt others."

"Then there's the one-stop process of brushing barbecue sauce." Lin Yu said eagerly.

"Hmph, don't worry, I won't give you a chance." Hitamaru said confidently, "Controlling the power that originally belongs to me will be as easy as eating fried tofu."

Then Hitamaru said to Lin Yu and Yae Sakura with a sincere face: "But, eldest sister, Brother Lin Yu, after listening to your words, I feel much more at ease, thank you."

Seeing Lin Yu and Yae Sakura enlightening Hitamaru, Kallen showed a knowing smile and said, "Let's go, we are almost at the top."

"Well, let's go."

Several people continued to brush up monsters.

...

"Sealed inside the box, I don't know what's happening outside."

"I can't feel the passage of time."

"All I have accumulated in my heart is hatred for human beings."

"In this way, I have lived in the darkness for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

"Then, one day, a miko opened the box."

"In the heart of that miko, I also found the hatred that resonates with me..."

"The hatred of having a loved one taken away."

"Then I found the tools for revenge."

...

"How is it possible? Could it be? I have known the eldest sister for a long time? Moreover, I seem to have done excessive things to her before."

New memories flooded into his mind, and Hitamamaru was stunned.

"How did things become like this? What should I do?"

Fear surged in Hitamaru's heart.

...

Finally, a few people arrived at the top of the castle tower.

When you come out of the stairs, you can see a long empty corridor. On both sides of the corridor are compartments separated by curtains and screens. At the end of the corridor, there is a shrine.

After walking through the long corridor, several people arrived in front of the shrine.

"What's sealed in this shrine is probably the last part."

"As long as I open this door, I can find my true self?"

Looking at the shrine, Hitamaru murmured to himself.

"But if I really..." Hitamaru lowered his head and hesitated.

"Go, Hitamaru, we believe in you." Yae Sakura said.

"That's right, you have to be confident." Kallen said.

"Come on, Hidama Maru." Lin Yu said.

"Besides, as we said before, if anything goes wrong, I will definitely stop you." Yae Sakura said.

"Well, thank you, eldest sister, as well as sister Kallen and brother Lin Yu, thank you." Nervous sweat dripped from Hitamamaru's face. After hearing the words of the three, he immediately felt better.

"Anyway, everything in the past is in the past, and I no longer need the power that was originally used for revenge."

Hitamaru approached the shrine and cheered himself up at the same time.

"Sister, let this power be used for you!"

In the shrine, there is a simple long sword, which is made from the core of the Herrscher of Corrosion, the key of the twelfth god: Ksitigarbha Yuhun.

After Hitamamaru put down her hatred, in the black box used to seal her, the God's Key creation program left by Dr. Mei in the box was finally activated, and the core of Herrscher of Corrosion was made into the God's Key.

Hitamaru's small palm grasped the Ksitigarbha Soul.

I saw Jizo's soul shining brightly, turning into countless starlights, following Hitamamaru's little hand and sinking into her body.
