Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[This kind of behavior makes it difficult for them to understand, and even unbearable. 】

【They hope that you can join the flame-chasing moths, and at least invest more energy in research directions that humans need more at present. 】

[You still chose to refuse the solicitation of the flame-chasing moth. 】

[In this case, even those who are more moderate in the style of Chasing Moths are still struggling with whether to give the Herrscher Core to you for research. 】

[They believe that with your ability, and you still offered to study the core of the Herrscher, if you can give it to you, then you must be able to gain something. 】

[However, they feel that they can't figure out your real purpose, or they can't trust you because of the obvious or secret estrangement between them. 】

[In this case, no one can make a decision to hand the Herrscher Core into your hands. 】

[For those who are greedy, the core of the Herrscher is the ticket to enter the palace of gods. The third core of the Herrscher is enough to make them feel distressed. 】

[And for those who are wholeheartedly thinking about fighting against Honkai, the core of the Herrscher is an important power that humans can currently master, and it is irresponsible to hand it over to someone who cannot fully trust it. 】

[On this issue, there are even high-level executives in Flame Chasing Moths specifically asking those who know you whether you are trustworthy. 】

【However, regarding this issue, even Alicia, who has the most friendly attitude towards others, can only keep silent. 】

[She was subconsciously wary and suspicious of you the moment she first saw you, and she couldn't understand your current behavior. 】

[In this case, when asked what she thinks of you as a reference, she can't say "can be trusted". 】

[After all, this is too irresponsible. 】

[For this situation, you don't feel much surprise. 】

[Or, you can completely understand their approach. 】

[They have their own reasons for not wanting to hand over the core of the Herrscher to you, and you will not embarrass them too much for this. 】

[You are going to send the masquerade party combat team to fetch the Herrscher core. 】

[At present, the core of the Herrscher of Reason and the core of the Herrscher of Space seem to be idle. 】

[After all, Firechaser Moth has made countless attempts to create a Herrscher project, but there is no hope of success at all. If this is the case, it is better for you to get it in your hands, so that you can play a greater role. effect. 】

[As for whether to temporarily borrow or hold it for a long time after taking it back, it depends on whether the core of the Herrscher of Reason and the core of the Herrscher of Space are valuable to you. 】

【You think so. 】

[However, soon, the information you received dispelled your idea. 】

[The fourth Honkai outbreak. 】

[A new Herrscher has been born. 】

[In this case, if you really need the core of the Herrscher, you can directly attack the fourth Herrscher. 】

【You... no longer have the need to take aim at the Moth of Chasing Flame and get those two Herrscher cores. 】

[You go directly to the training room in the research institute to find those members who have not gone out to perform the task of fighting against Honkai. 】

[Just entering the training hall, you saw a girl struggling forward. 】

[A girl with black and bluish shoulder-length short hair is holding a cardboard box that is so big that it covers her face, and walks unsteadily forward, looking very strenuous. 】

【Her breathing was a little short, her originally fair skin was now glowing red, and the sweat from her skin soaked the white dress on her body. 】

【"boom!"】

【Because the line of sight was completely blocked, the girl didn't notice that you appeared in front of the road, and even bumped towards you with the box in her arms. 】

【Amidst the girl's exclamation, you caught the box she was holding, and at the same time supported her shoulder with the other hand to prevent her from falling to the ground in embarrassment. 】

【"Thank you, thank you..."】

[The girl who was still in shock blushed, raised her hand and gently rubbed the nose she had just bumped into, unable to tell whether it was embarrassment or shame. 】

【She stretched out her hand, and continued to reach out, trying to take the big box that could cover her whole body. 】

【"Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm really useless, it's fine if I can't help everyone, I can't even do such small things well..."】

【As she spoke, she sniffed her nose lightly, tears were already rolling in her eyes. 】

[You look at the girl who can feel the obvious depression even though you can't see the expression on her face, and you are silent for a while. 】

[You remember her. 】

[Her name is Seele, she is a girl who participated in the previous consciousness activation experiment and survived the experiment with a very low success rate. 】

[However, unlike other people who survived the experiment successfully, although Seele successfully endured that experiment, and even experienced the original unimproved experiment with the lowest success rate, she was not able to awaken that Power from consciousness. 】

[Among the six people who successfully survived that experiment, she was the only one. 】

[If you want to talk about the reason, it is her mentality that restricts her. The scenes she witnessed in the collapse of the past years have become lingering nightmares that have always bound her. 】

[If she can't cross it, then she won't be able to gain power. 】

[After all, how can a bound mind successfully show that bright enough light? 】

[Seele, frustrated by this, eventually made the same decision as the rest of those who survived the experiment, joining the Masquerade Ball. 】

[Even if you don't have strong combat power, you still do what you can as a support staff. 】

【"Let's go." You handed the box you just caught to Ms. Seele. 】

[After all, she chose to pass it by herself, so you will naturally respect her opinion. 】

【Miss Seele hugged the big box that could cover her face again, and walked forward tremblingly. 】

[Although I can't see the road ahead, there are people around me who are walking forward at the same speed as me, so I don't have to worry about falling this time. 】

【"Doctor..." After walking a few steps, Seele suddenly spoke in a trembling voice. 】

【"Doctor, am I useless?"】

【"Obviously the same person who successfully experienced that experiment, everyone else can be active on the battlefield against the Houkai, but only me, only me..."】

【"Every time they fight, I just watch..."】

【"I can't even do the logistical work well, no matter how clumsy I am."】

【Seele choked up, with an unspeakably low voice. 】

【"I... always like this, can't do anything, can't do anything..."】

【You glanced at the girl beside you with slightly trembling shoulders, and spoke softly. 】

【"Are you useless... This question should not be answered by others, but by yourself."】

【You didn't encourage her, nor would you belittle her. 】

【What she looks like should be decided by herself, and judged by herself, that's all. 】

【not to mention......】

【Seele, maybe it is because of thinking too much that it becomes more and more difficult to get out of your own shackles. 】

[Instead of thinking about what you can do, instead of thinking about what you can do for others, it is better to think about what you really want to do. 】

【Seele was silent, didn't speak, and still had a dull atmosphere on her body. 】

【After Seele left, Teresa in the training room told you that at present, she is in charge of most of the logistical matters of the Saints team for the Masquerade Ball. 】

[The reason for this is not because she is too harsh on her, or because she has not awakened the power of consciousness to look down on her and deliberately make things difficult for her, but because of her own initiative. 】

【She... wants to do something, and wants to find something where she can make a difference. 】

【For this reason, she is always forcing herself to work harder. 】

[Actually, the logistical work is not onerous, but Miss Seele always seems to manage to find more things to do. 】

[If someone stops her, or someone helps her to complete these tasks, then she will appear quite depressed. 】

[Probably, she is the self who is useless in battle. Only in these things can she play a little role and reflect her own value, right? 】

[The saint team of the masquerade party is also quite helpless, and as time goes by, they can only let her do this. 】

[You glance at the direction Seele left. 】

[She is really working hard now. 】

【but......】

[This is not acceptable. 】

【What you should do, what you need to do for others, you should play a certain role. 】

[Or people with this kind of thinking will only gradually passivate their minds, and they will be farther and farther away from the goal of being able to tap out the power of their minds. 】

[The power of consciousness is the power derived from the self, which is essentially the condensing of one's own spiritual will. 】

[The power of this nature, whether it is good or evil, can only be brought into full play by the most self-willed and self-centered people. 】

[Dare to break away from the shackles of good and evil, dare to ignore the morality and laws of the world, will not be restrained by any order, and control the power that can bring freedom with a free heart. 】

【What can bring true strength is not the sadness and self-abnegation of "I can't do anything", but the absolute self of "I can do anything". 】

[You didn't think about this matter any more. 】

[After all, she is the only one she can rely on for spiritual problems. 】

【The barriers you set up by yourself need to be broken by yourself. 】

【If it cannot be broken...】

[Then it cannot be broken. 】

【You told the members of the Masquerade Saints team headed by Teresa about the Fourth Great Crash. 】

[As for whether to go to deal with this collapse, there is no need to consider it at all. 】

[For Teresa, it seems very normal to choose to stand on the opposite side of Honkai, even if the enemy she needs to face is an enemy called a natural disaster like Herrscher. 】

[As for the rest of the Saints team...]

[They themselves had a bloody hatred for the Houkai, and they were lucky enough to survive the consciousness awakening experiment with this as a support. 】

[In order to be able to take revenge on the Honkai who took away the best things from themselves and ruined their lives, they would not hesitate to die. 】

[Even if they need to face a battle with the Herrscher, they will not even have the slightest idea of ​​avoiding it. 】

[The fourth Herrscher, identified as the Herrscher of Wind. 】

[Since she was born, she has begun to show her existence in an extremely ostentatious manner under the gaze of human weather satellites. 】

【——The hurricane that began to gather at the moment of the collapse and quickly swept towards the surroundings. 】

[In a very short period of time, several small countries around have been swept away, turning them into territories of storms. 】

【It took more than 2000 kilometers to cross the storm field, which finally diminished and disappeared. How to cross it is a difficult problem in front of the human warriors who are about to attack it. 】

[After all, a powerful warrior can hold a Houkai weapon to defeat the Houkai beast if he is well-trained, and can even play a big role in the battle against the Herrscher. 】

[But even so, they are helpless in the face of this natural disaster. 】

[The death environment formed by natural disasters of this kind of storm can uproot buildings. Even if human soldiers lie on the ground, they can only support themselves in front of them so that they will not be blown away. 】

[After all, they are mortal bodies after all——under normal circumstances, that should be the case. 】

[The saint team of the masquerade party, as conscious awakeners, can rely on their own spiritual will to strengthen their bodies beyond the physical limits of flesh and blood. 】

[In addition, strong spiritual power can resist interference from the outside world to a certain extent, and even the erosion of the body by the Houkai energy can be slightly contained, which provides them with the basic conditions for fighting the Herrscher of Wind. 】

[When the combat members of the Masquerade Saints team arrived near the territory where the Fourth Herrscher was ravaging, they unexpectedly sensed abnormal high-energy fluctuations. 】

[And this high-energy fluctuation comes from the core of the Herrscher. 】

[In other words, it is made from the core of the Herrscher, and it is currently only a semi-finished God's Key. 】

[That is the elite crusade against the Honkai combat team from Flame Chasing Moth, and the leader is precisely Alicia who has made great achievements in the previous two Honkai battles. 】

[But this time, Alicia, including the Fire Moth combat troops behind her, seemed to be stumped by this situation. 】

[After all, such a huge storm field, it is difficult for them to cross it and get close to the Fourth Herrscher to start a crusade. 】

[So even if it is the God's Key made with the semi-finished Third Herrscher's core, they can only sigh with hope. 】

[In this case, the members of the masquerade party's combat team, headed by Teresa, directly proposed to borrow the semi-finished God's Key to attack Herrscher. 】

[Even though it is a semi-finished product, this God's Key can still have the power of a single blow, but after using it, it may be directly damaged and returned to the furnace for redoing. 】

[Even so, it may be able to play a role in the battle against the Fourth Herrscher under critical circumstances. 】
