Chapter 19 Miracle
……
The Herrscher landed slowly and leisurely beside Seele with great interest. The soldiers near the transport ship gripped their weapons tightly, and even Möbius frowned and hid. Only Yun Fuyu neither dodged nor avoided, continuing to stay by Seele's side.
From the moment Mebius guessed that they were "life links," Yun Fuyu vaguely guessed the power of her dreams.
It is trust, it is connection, it is bond, it is... a vow.
When someone actively makes a pact with another, their life is shared, and their power increases. Although Yun Fuyu made a pact with Seele, she shared the power of the Herrscher, which is why she became so strong so quickly.
Now, the vow that Yun Fuyu and Xier have made is that they will escape the Honkai together.
Yun Fuyu was merely an afterthought of the earlier palpitations.
If creation does not occur, death will not know of its existence. And when death dies, because creation and decay are two separate entities, it will be passively resurrected by the power of creation.
(If Seele doesn't appear, the Herrscher won't know of her existence. And when the Herrscher dies, because Seele and the Herrscher are one, she will be passively resurrected by borrowing Seele's power.)
This kind of "borrowing" is more like exploiting a bug in the world, so it's almost limitless.
This is also why Seele suddenly felt a pang of anxiety. How could she not react when "she" had been killed once?
Now, the mystery is gradually being solved. The biggest question remains: how did Seele gain self-awareness and clarity of consciousness?
It's important to understand that the reason why the Herrschers of the current civilization have the opportunity to regain their humanity can actually be traced back to what Alicia did. But Alicia is still perfectly fine, so how did Seele maintain her humanity?
Another question is: Both the current Herrscher and Seele are only half of the complete Herrscher of Death. Given Seele's precedent, is it possible to turn the Herrscher of Death against her? Or to kill the Herrscher while preserving Seele?
Yun Fuyu stood beside Xier, her mind racing.
The Herrscher slowly approached Seele, extending her slender hand as if to stroke her cheek. But Seele showed no appreciation, taking a step back in refusal.
The Herald stated bluntly, "Come back. You can't refuse me. Let us become one and bring down the final judgment upon the world."
Seele just shook her head.
The Herald was puzzled: "What are you thinking? Have you forgotten who you are?"
She then questioned herself: "But if that's the case, why did you come here?"
Seele clutched her chest, her brows furrowed slightly. "I...I don't know either. I just felt I should come to see you, but I didn't know what to do next."
Seele was also quite bewildered at this moment. Before knowing the Herrscher's information, her premonition was to run away. After learning the Herrscher's information, she felt that she should come and see the Herrscher.
But what's next? Should you turn and run away, or embrace your true self and become a Herrscher? Should you try every means to fight against the Herrschers, or follow the so-called "Herrscher's mission"?
—The anchor of humanity has long been unknowingly being pulled toward the abyss by its collapse.
The Herrscher seemed to look at her with pity, her voice gentle, as if comforting a younger sister. She slowly approached Seele and said, "Relax, Seele, follow your heart."
"What are your inner feelings?"
"You are the Creator, you were born destined to be a Herald. At this moment, people have brought you to my side, haven't you yet understood your own thoughts?"
"What are my own thoughts...?"
"It is the cruelty of mankind that makes Seele live in pain, and it is their folly that gives you and me the opportunity to become one. The gods have blessed us, and our power is destined to destroy all of humanity's hopes."
"Human cruelty" refers to Seele's background. Being abandoned by her parents, or losing both parents, can be described as cruel.
The Herrscher's voice was soft, as if bewitching a fool. She gently stroked Seele's hair and said with pity:
“We are destined to be two sides of the same coin; we are inseparable. Seele, give me your power, and I will live on with your share.”
Mebius, standing to the side, couldn't help but show a look of disgust—Seele was confused because of her identity, and the Herrscher was taking the opportunity to openly bewitch her. In the end, it was nothing more than wanting to devour Seele's power.
Invisible waves surged, and the Herrscher effortlessly pushed Yun Fuyu away with a mere flick of her wrist. Only Seele and the Herrscher remained on the deck, where the power of death began to rise, its crimson-to-black color gradually spreading, threatening to devour Seele!
"Ting!"
A crisp sound abruptly interrupted the Herrscher's actions! In the Herrscher's eyes, everything in the world suddenly became incredibly fantastical! The transport ship's deck transformed into a shallow pool, the dim sky gradually filled with stars, and an invisible mist shrouded the world. And before her, a strange power materialized into silver-white chains, wrapping around Seele's wrists, actually repelling the Herrscher's power with tremendous force!
"This is?……"
Strictly speaking, this half of her body, merely a manifestation of the power of death, is insufficient to be called a Herrscher. Her power level is inadequate, and her consciousness is less extreme than that of a normal Herrscher. This is evident from the fact that she can have a proper conversation with Seele. Calling her a Herrscher is merely a title.
The Herrscher's eyes turned sinister. She tried again to use her power to invade Seele, but the chains prevented her from succeeding.
Looking along the other end of the chain, not far away, Yun Fuyu stood there, silent and without saying a word.
He couldn't resist the power of the Herrscher, nor could he understand Seele's current situation. Yun Fuyu was powerless to help and could only silently stand by.
"It's you……"
Unexpectedly, the Herrscher suddenly said this. She looked at Yun Fuyu, as if remembering something: "I recognize you, *****..."
The Herrscher spoke many words silently, but Yun Fuyu couldn't hear anything; she could only see her lips moving. Seele, however, was different. She must have heard something, for she covered her mouth in surprise, and after a moment, even showed a slight smile.
I recognize you, you are not human...
The inhabitants of the "Tree" should not have love or hate, much less be born into the mortal world. I witnessed with my own eyes you and the "Meteorite" fall into the "Cretaceous"... but that was clearly something that happened countless years ago.
Why are you here blocking my way?
Seele pondered, "So, Yun Fuyu's identity must be very special, and his power is even more..."
The Herrscher's fierce expression gradually faded, and he looked at Seele with a complex expression. More accurately, he looked at the chains on Seele's wrists.
Herald: "I understand. You and I are one, and your fate is intertwined with his. That is why the creation you govern brings you the only miracle, allowing you to maintain a clear consciousness. Even I am not immune to its influence."
"The reason we parted ways was because we happened to see his traces, and that's why we went our separate ways."
----split line----
Arranged in chronological order:
When the Herrscher first arrived, she observed the clouds and rain, and thus, death and creation parted ways. The information she observed dates back to countless ages ago.
After that, Seele didn't display much power, living a dazed life in the ruins like an ordinary person. Meanwhile, Death claimed to be a Herrscher, lurking and accumulating strength.
It wasn't until Seele formed a bond with Yunfuyu that Seele's power began to undergo both quantitative and qualitative changes.
More detailed information will follow.
