Many thoughts appeared in Herrscher Tsukiyo's mind... but none of them were correct.
Inaba Tsukiyo, who had broken into Herrscher Tsukiyo's room, looked at everything before her with a slight frown. This room was too messy, wasn't it?
They say a person's inner world reveals their true personality, but Herrscher Tsukiyo's room was like those shut-ins'. If this were the real world, she'd probably hear the sounds of mice or other Animals here.
"There's something I need your help with. Tell me, how do Herrschers come into being?"
"Oh? A Herrscher? What do you want to do? Create a Herrscher in this world without Honkai? That would cause big trouble."
Herrscher Tsukiyo, eating potato chips, lazily picked up a chip, waved it, and explained.
"Honkai is a form, and the energy produced by Honkai is Honkai Energy. Honkai grows continuously with the development of species, and when a species becomes too powerful, honkai will erupt, extinguishing that species."
Biting the potato chip in her hand, Herrscher Tsukiyo spoke while opening a transparent blue screen, then continued to explain.
"But this world is different. You can understand Honkai as the consciousness of the planet. When the planet's consciousness realizes that human development might accelerate the destruction of the planet, it will begin to resist, eliminating the human era to protect itself in this way. Don't think this is impossible; the facts are right before your eyes."
Herrscher Tsukiyo pointed to herself. As the will of honkai, no one was more qualified to say such a thing than she.
If it weren't for that unknown power influencing her when she infected Inaba Tsukiyo, she would still be a formless consciousness now.
However, she was only the vast majority of the honkai will; a small portion remained in the original world, controlling the world's development.
After all, if a planet's consciousness disappeared, then the planet would have no heart, and an object without a heart would eventually perish at an extremely rapid rate.
"So the problem is, how could this world's World Consciousness allow such a thing to happen? I don't know how she deals with the problems arising from the increase in humans, but that's her business and has nothing to do with Honkai."
It's like a stranger suddenly breaking into your home, using your things, eating your food, and even acting like the master, ordering you to do all sorts of things. As the homeowner, would you allow such a thing to happen?
No World Consciousness is simple; even a newly born World Will is the same. One can cooperate with it, but absolutely cannot replace it to become the new master of this world.
"...So, my idea of creating a Herrscher cannot be realized?"
If Ellen couldn't become a Herrscher, then she would only be able to use the Herrscher of Corrosion's power to brainwash Ellen, thereby making her one of her people.
But such an Ellen would only become a machine. What she wanted was a machine with self-judgment, not one that worked according to a program.
"That's not entirely true. If it were the will of other worlds, they might not allow such a thing to happen. But you are an exception, after all, your identity..."
Herrscher Tsukiyo didn't continue speaking, for even she, who had been inside Inaba Tsukiyo for some time, didn't know what kind of existence Inaba Tsukiyo truly was.
She was clearly just a human with the special attribute of 'immortality,' yet in places she didn't know, an existence far surpassing her, the honkai will, was protecting her.
Herrscher Tsukiyo seriously suspected that even if Inaba Tsukiyo did something excessive later, that pink-haired girl who hadn't appeared in her true form and could suppress her with just a clone would still protect Inaba Tsukiyo.
So as long as Inaba Tsukiyo didn't do something like destroy the world, the World Consciousness would tacitly allow Inaba Tsukiyo to continue.
"My identity? What about my identity?"
Inaba Tsukiyo tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand the meaning of Herrscher Tsukiyo's words. Wasn't she just someone working for alaya?
"No, nothing. Anyway, you just need to know that as long as you don't go too far, the World's Will won't come out to attack you. You can create Herrschers, but you cannot use some Herrscher abilities."
Like large-scale Honkai or something. This type of Honkai is somewhat similar to a Spacequake, but large-scale Honkai produces Death Soldiers and Honkai Beasts.
If these Honkai Beasts are merely summoned from other worlds and their numbers do not exceed the controllable range, the World's Will can still tolerate it.
But the World's Will absolutely will not allow the humans of this world to become Death Soldiers, because that would violate the rules it has set.
"Hmm... So, Herrschers cannot use large-scale Honkai in this world, nor can they summon Honkai Beasts that obey their commands, right?"
Organizing Herrscher Tsukiyo's words, Inaba Tsukiyo summarized.
"That's the meaning. However, the birth of Herrschers also has a pattern. If you studied well in that world, you should know the order of Herrscher births, right?"
"Yes, I know."
Nodding, this was an important piece of knowledge; how could Inaba Tsukiyo not remember it?
Although not being able to generate Honkai Beasts would affect a Herrscher's strength, the power a Herrscher inherently possesses is already terrifying.
"Since that's the case, then I'll give you the memories related to creating a Herrscher."
"Eh? Is that okay? I was planning to let you do this yourself. This is a good opportunity for you to go out."
Inaba Tsukiyo looked at Herrscher Tsukiyo with some surprise. She originally thought Herrscher Tsukiyo would take this opportunity to go out and get some fresh air, but she didn't expect her to directly give her such important memories.
"Tch! What's so good about going out? Is it as fun as it is here?"
Herrscher Tsukiyo pouted disdainfully. Even if she didn't go outside, she could go out in spirit form, though without a physical body to touch things, of course.
Looking at Herrscher Tsukiyo, who was completely developing into a shut-in, Inaba Tsukiyo didn't know what to say.
Where did the Herrscher Tsukiyo, who previously wanted to control her body, go? What happened to this guy? How did she become more and more of a shut-in?
"Oh, right. It's not like there's no price for obtaining this knowledge from me. As for what the price is... you'll find out later."
With a malicious smile, under Inaba Tsukiyo's puzzled gaze, her forehead was suddenly gripped by Herrscher Tsukiyo.
A dazzling golden light shone, and under the effect of this light, Inaba Tsukiyo's consciousness gradually faded away.
