Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Infectious Infection. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own HI3D, miHoYO and a few others do.

the Herrscher of Erosion… the 12th Herrscher, the last ruler, the Plague, nine tailed fox, walking hatred, cursed ruler, god of disaster.

She had titles beyond titles… and yet it was the fault of humanity.

She looked at Badan, who was still heavily conflicted seeing the destruction the Herrscher had wrought on the city… there was almost nothing that could stop her.

"Your still hurt." Rin stated, Badan frowned and looked away from her, knowing she could easily rip him apart.

Badan was possibly the only human she wouldn't hurt, he was special.

She had come to find the boy within a Manticore lab which was being evacuated due to their experiments escaping and destroying everyone and everything.

He was different, when she broke the containment tub that housed the being in her virus form? He didn't show fear, disgust, hatred… any emotion that would have convinced her that he was no different then the rest of the Humans.

He looked at her with curiosity and confusion, merely puzzled how a being like her existed.

Was Rin a monster? yes, she had the ability to easily lay waste to human life if she pleased, but she wasn't a sadist unless someone truly deserved her ire.

Badan was the only being that hadn't, and it was because of his unfailing niceness and caring towards life that she didn't tear the world apart.

"You hurt a lot of people." Badan crossed his arms as bits of dust fell from him.

Manticore, as Rin had ripped from a dying soldier before ending his life?

Meant military armaments for neutralization, termination and information corps organized by regional experimenters…. The group lived purely to see what abominations and other monsters they could unleash with the excuse that the world needed weapons against people like her.

She had seen the tortured soldier husks that were the failed remains of the super soldiers they deployed. The organization didn't care for Badan, he was just a young teenager who happened to be in the process of completing his changes to a super soldier.

Rin was not a good person, she didn't much care for morals at the moment considering Manticore had waged war against her purely to capture and dissect her to make a powerful toxin.

Badan was a survivor of their actions, Rin planned to rid the world of Manticore and all groups like it. she didn't care if she had to burn down a dozen cities, Humanity would thrive… but the world would thrive under HER rule now, they couldn't be trusted to govern themselves.

Badan frowned as she stepped down to look at him, he faced the Herrscher directly, something nobody else would do if they knew what she was and what she was capable of.

Rin cupped his chin in her hands, she could easily take his life, but then she'd be alone… servants weren't friends, they only did what you want and had no real reason to do anything else.

Badan didn't hang around her because he had to, he did it because she was one of the few people not to look at him like he was worthless or damned by fate.

"Don't cleanse the world, your kill far too many people who don't deserve to die for this, they don't at all deserve to die." He stated as he walked away from the battle in question.

"I'm only cleaning out the scum… Manticore did this, this city served manticore… and I destroyed it because they served a group that didn't care about their lives or morals. The other governments of your race were planning to kill them. I allowed as many civilians to flee as possible before I broke you out… this is war, Badan, people suffer in war." Badan turned to the queen, ready to speak, but stopped himself mid word.

He didn't want to say anything at the moment, there was no arguing with the ruler at the moment.

Still, he didn't want such slaughter done if it saved him and only him, he was one being out of billions.

He knew Rin cared about him, and he her, but that didn't mean he supported her path of destruction blindly.

He sighed and went to turn to her only to realize she was gone, leaving to plan her next attack to get rid of more humans.

Still? It made her question things… but Manticore needed to die if the world would survivor.

It would be messy, but war always was. She had to destroy Manticore… she wished to.

They hurt someone she cared about; they were dangerous… they took something belonging to HER.

People died often and every day, but she justified the actions as for the greater good.

She sighed with annoyance and continued walking. She had a war to handle… she knew of a Manticore base that she planned on taking.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I'm sorry for the chapter being short. Next chapter is going to be longer. I want to point out I didn't know about the enemies in the game. I will explain Rin and Badan's history more next chapter. I will also hopefully update Void's next chapter. next chapter will be in a week and will show Rin's attack on the base and some of her history with Badan. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
