Chapter 289 - Chapter 288: The Price of Gaining Power

Ellen was dragged into Imaginary Space by Inaba Tsukiyo without any struggle. Everyone exchanged puzzled glances, not understanding what Inaba Tsukiyo intended to do.

They had only heard Inaba Tsukiyo say she intended to make Ellen one of them, but how would she do it? Ellen was a high-ranking member of DEM company.

How could such a person be persuaded, or rather, what method did Inaba Tsukiyo have to make Ellen one of them?

Nia, who had a deeper connection to Ellen, was especially curious. She truly wanted to know how Inaba Tsukiyo intended to turn Ellen into one of them.

Taking advantage of the Imaginary Space not being closed, Nia couldn't help but walk into Imaginary Space.

Seeing Nia walk into Imaginary Space, Yoshino and Kurumi hesitated for a moment, then followed her into Imaginary Space. At the same time, Kurumi's Original Body also went in.

The Spirits who entered Imaginary Space instantly felt a sense of suffocation. Imaginary Space was different from before; a power unlike spiritual energy filled this space, eroding their bodies.

Fortunately, none of them were ordinary humans. As Spirits, when this abnormal power was about to erode their bodies, the power within them blocked it.

This unusual situation made everyone huddle together, concentrating their spiritual energy, and slowly walked towards Inaba Tsukiyo.

Just as they were about to approach Inaba Tsukiyo, they found an aura blocking them several meters away from Inaba Tsukiyo.

Unable to get closer, Yoshino and the others changed direction, moving towards other areas. Only then did they discover an invisible spherical region between Inaba Tsukiyo and Ellen.

This spherical region constantly blocked others from entering, leaving the space for Inaba Tsukiyo and Ellen.

Yoshino and the others quickly moved to the side. From there, they saw Inaba Tsukiyo's front, and noticed that she was different from before; her originally crimson eyes had turned golden.

At the same time, her golden pupils also had a crisscrossing pattern. Just by looking at those pupils, they felt their hearts being tightly squeezed.

What is this feeling? It's like the feeling humans get when facing a higher existence, as if Inaba Tsukiyo has become a lofty deity.

This is without even looking at her directly. If Inaba Tsukiyo were to glance at them, would the situation become even worse?

Time passed by second by second. Kurumi, who was on the periphery, keenly noticed the situation inside.

A purple energy was constantly changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. If before it was only fine threads of energy, now it was like a flowing stream.

This was solidified energy, and unlike the Spirit Energy they possessed, this was a completely unknown power, a power no less potent than Spirit Energy.

This power was Honkai Energy. Inaba Tsukiyo channeled the power within her body, allowing the Honkai Energy to flow out and infect Ellen's body inside.

Why do this? It's simple. Inaba Tsukiyo wanted to create a Herrscher in this world, using Ellen as a vessel to produce the first Herrscher.

It was just that this process was a bit troublesome. Besides the limitations of Honkai Energy, there were also Ellen's own factors.

To become a true Herrscher, in addition to Honkai Energy, one also needed to tear apart the human heart and fuse with the Herrscher's personality to become a true Herrscher.

Inaba Tsukiyo had never done something like this, so she could only find someone skilled in this matter to help.

Don't look at her acting all high and mighty right now; in reality, she was only unconsciously controlling her body. Her consciousness had already run into her mind to find a certain fellow who had been slacking off for a long time.

In the Mental Space, Herrscher Tsukiyo, who was eating snacks and playing games, was suddenly startled by a banging sound at the door.

What's going on? She always knew she did things like this. When did she have to suffer like this?

What exactly was that Little Loli doing? Instead of staying in her library, why did she run into her private space? Even if she treated her as a nanny, this was a bit too much.

Just as Herrscher Tsukiyo was about to teach Victorica a lesson, she realized the person who came was not Victorica at all, but Inaba Tsukiyo.

After a moment of daze, she realized that Inaba Tsukiyo had actively run into the depths of her consciousness to find her.

This was certainly rare. Usually, she was the one who went to find Inaba Tsukiyo. When would Inaba Tsukiyo ever actively come to find her? Was it late at night outside?

Or did she encounter a girl like Yae Sakura in this world? Not knowing how to deal with such a person, she came here for advice?
