When her consciousness returned, Inaba Tsukiyo had already left the Mental World and returned to the outside.
At this moment, she was still in her Herrscher state. As she awakened, a pair of dark blue wings appeared behind her. With the addition of her golden pupils and dark blue wings, the Honkai Energy seemed like ignited gasoline, instantly exploding.
1000HW, 2000HW, 3000HW. The concentration of Honkai Energy continued to increase. Ellen, bathed in the Honkai Energy, had her body instantly eroded by the sudden surge of Honkai Energy.
First, her skin whitened as expected, and even her pupils turned crimson, making her seem like she was transforming into a monster.
But this state quickly disappeared, and Ellen's skin returned to a healthy complexion. However, her body began to change under the influence of the Honkai Energy.
In Ellen's consciousness, she had a very long dream, as if she was reliving her past life.
Only this time, her life was slightly different. She and two others summoned the First Spirit. The events before were the same as what happened previously, but everything changed after they killed that boy, Shinji Takamiya.
This time, the First Spirit went berserk directly after Shinji Takamiya's death, destroying everything in the world.
Due to its formidable strength, humanity's technological level was simply no match for it. Even if Ellen used all her strength, she was just an ant in its eyes.
Ellen watched helplessly as everything she had was killed by the First Spirit; anything, including her younger sister, who had separated due to differing ideologies later on.
After Ellen watched her younger sister being killed by the First Spirit before her eyes, she completely broke down.
A strong sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. Facing the First Spirit's power, she had no chance of revenge whatsoever.
Just escaping consumed all her energy. How could she possibly defeat this Spirit? It was simply impossible.
'There's a chance, you know. You can do it as long as you obtain the power to fight against the Spirit.'
Suddenly, Ellen heard a voice in her mind.
'Abandon everything, abandon your identity as a human, and then you can obtain what you desire, Ellen Mira Mathers.'
"Abandon... my identity... as a human?"
'Exactly. Tear apart your human heart and become an existence similar to the First Spirit. If you want to kill your enemy, you must kill your past self. And then...'
'Become a true Herrscher.'
Under the guidance of this voice, Ellen reached out and grasped the light that suddenly appeared before her. As she held it, everything changed.
Yoshino and the others who were watching suddenly noticed that the flow of Honkai Energy inside began to change. The Honkai Energy, which had been moving without any pattern, began to rotate rhythmically, eventually concentrating around Ellen's body.
In just a few breaths, all the Honkai Energy inside surged into Ellen's body.
Ellen's body was not eroded by this intense Honkai Energy; instead, it underwent transformation. As the Honkai Energy continuously flowed within her body, a crystal formed inside her.
After a few minutes, Ellen landed on the ground, slowly walked up to Inaba Tsukiyo, and knelt on one knee.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, God."
"It seems you have successfully awakened, Ellen. Or perhaps I should call you First Herrscher, Herrscher of Reason."
Looking at Ellen with satisfaction, Ellen had now completely merged with the Herrscher's consciousness.
While possessing Ellen's original memories, she was also influenced by the Herrscher's consciousness. The current Ellen could be said to be 100% loyal to her, just like Sirin.
"Show me your power, Ellen. As my messenger, I don't wish for any useless individuals to appear."
As a BOSS, it was only natural to make herself look more formidable.
Inaba Tsukiyo, who had been flying in the air, spoke to Ellen in the tone of those villainous BOSSes.
"Understood, God."
Nodding, Ellen closed her eyes and activated the Honkai Energy within her to use the power of the Herrscher of Reason.
Under everyone's gaze, Ellen's visualization device, which had been taken off, reappeared.
The power of the Herrscher of Reason is understanding and replication. After fully understanding the 'explanation' of an object, one can reproduce that object with their own power.
