Phainon watched helplessly as the once bustling city before him was reduced to ruins after a single explosion.
He was momentarily stunned by the magnificent sight of the explosion in the sky.
Just when he thought it was all over, another identical meteor appeared in the sky, which surprised Phainon.
"Didn't they already launch one? Why launch another?"
Hen didn't know what was happening and shook his head in confusion. Elysia then explained to them.
"This Herrscher's authority is electromagnetism. She can control the magnetic field around her. If a Honkai Energy Fission Bomb explodes too close to her, it will be completely nullified by that magnetic field.
So, it can only be detonated from a distance. The consequence of this is insufficient power, unable to eliminate the Herrscher, so another one needs to be launched to completely eliminate the Herrscher."
"Changing magnetic fields? Can someone really control such an ability?"
Phainon looked at Elysia seriously. He couldn't imagine that if someone could change magnetic fields, ordinary people wouldn't be able to get close, let alone eliminate her.
That was not a power humans could control. Phainon wondered how he would cope if he encountered such an enemy.
"Actually, compared to the previous two Herrschers, this Herrscher's ability is still within reason, as the authorities of the previous two Herrschers were too inconceivable."
Hen's face turned bitter as he recalled the first two Herrschers.
Phainon was even more shocked. The ability to control magnetic fields was already terrifying, but there were two more before that.
"What were the abilities of those two? And how did you eliminate them?"
"They were also dealt with using Honkai Energy Fission Bombs."
Hen only mentioned how they were dealt with, but not the Herrschers' authorities. After all, this involved classified information, and unless one joined Moth Chasing Fire, they generally wouldn't discuss it lightly.
But Elysia didn't care about that. She had seen Phainon's uniqueness from the beginning and had a premonition that this person who suddenly appeared before her would bring a different outcome.
"The first Herrscher, we called him the Herrscher of Reason. His ability was to analyze and construct, capable of conjuring any weapon of this era out of thin air, including Honkai Energy Fission Bombs.
Fortunately, at that time, the Herrscher of Reason did not possess very high intelligence and did not create Honkai Energy Fission Bombs. But even so, we lost an entire city and millions of people."
Speaking of this heavy past, Elysia no longer smiled but explained solemnly.
Phainon could hardly imagine such a scene. Technology conjured out of thin air, even just thinking about it, was extremely difficult to deal with.
"And the second Herrscher, we called her the Herrscher of Void. Her omnipotence was space, capable of opening countless spatial rifts, from which countless Honkai Beasts crawled out.
That was also our most devastating loss to date; a medium-sized country was completely reduced to dust in that disaster.
The death toll exceeded ten million."
Phainon suddenly noticed a blind spot and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Since an entire country has already disappeared, why do ordinary people still not know about the existence of Honkai, even though there have been such massive casualties?"
Hen interjected at this point.
"We suppressed this matter. After all, if a Herrscher appears in a city, it already signifies the destruction of that city.
What difference would it make to tell the public? We don't have the best way to fight them. We can only use this method of harming the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred ourselves.
But this is already the best method we have found. If we tell the public about these things, it will only cause chaos.
However, after this disaster, it will be very difficult to suppress this matter again. But before we find an accurate solution, we will still try our best to suppress everything about Honkai."
Phainon stood in silence. Hen's words were cruel but also very realistic. The Honkai he had witnessed was no less than a Titan actively destroying a country.
Moreover, as they said, every birth of a Herrscher would lead to the birth of a large number of Honkai Beasts, whose bodies, often tens of meters tall, were simply not something ordinary people could face.
Afterward, Phainon followed the two back to Moth Chasing Fire. However, during the process, Hen actually wanted to throw him directly into the recruit camp, but Elysia refused, stating that she wanted to personally lead Phainon and have him join her team.
Phainon also did not object to the two, as he himself did not know where to go, and even now, he had not found any clues to return to his own world.
However, thinking that the second Herrscher had spatial abilities, Phainon had an idea, but this required someone's help, as he was alone in this world, unfamiliar with the people and places, and didn't even have a proper identity.
So, he needed someone with a higher status to protect him, which could save a lot of trouble, and it was also very likely that he would find a way back.
As for this person of high status, Phainon already had a candidate, naturally Elysia. After all, during their interactions over this period, he could objectively feel the constant goodwill she exuded, and from Hen's few words, he could tell that Aponia's network was also very extensive.
It was even possible that she knew the high-ranking officials of this world, and their relationship was very good. Of course, Phainon also had his own selfish reasons; she was too similar to the person from his childhood, so he couldn't feel any dislike or defensiveness.
After getting off the fighter jet, Elysia took the lead, skipping and hopping at the very front, turning her head slightly, revealing a sweet smile, and softly said.
"Phainon, come with me. I promise your treatment will be exactly the same as mine ♪"
Phainon nodded and replied.
"As long as I have a place to live, that's fine."
"How can that be? Your strength is already enough to lead a small team on your own. If you stay in my team, I'd be taking advantage, so your treatment must also be the same as our captain's.
You don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it ♪"
Elysia took on this matter without any hesitation. She seemed to have forgotten that she also had a charge of disobeying military orders, or perhaps she just didn't care much about it.
The two walked together in a corridor where there weren't many people, only a few occasionally passing by, and everyone walked very quickly. They all wore white lab coats, clearly indicating they were of the same profession.
Phainon hesitated. He was wondering whether to tell the truth, but he was also afraid that Elysia would look at him like an anomaly if he did, and afraid that she would distance herself from him because of it.
But in the end, he thought that he had reached this point and had no time to hesitate. With such a massive force, Phainon didn't believe they couldn't even find out his identity.
They would know someday, so it was better to tell the person he trusted in advance.
But after making up his mind, Phainon didn't know where to start. Just as Phainon was still hesitating, Elysia's voice came from ahead, but after hearing her words clearly, Phainon's heart was startled.
"Phainon, you're not from this world, are you?"
"???"
