Before Alicia could finish her thought, an accident happened—

"Eh?"

With just a fleeting thought in her mind, a figure appeared in front of Alicia.

Its suddenness is no less than a fairy falling from the sky; even magic tricks don't work like this. Suddenly, a person appears out of thin air, which really tests one's mental fortitude.

"No way, I was just thinking about it, I didn't say anyone was actually coming."

Could it be that I am the creator god of this illusion? That whatever I think of comes to pass? Alicia wondered to herself.

Moreover, this person is a beautiful girl, which perfectly matches Alicia's tastes. However, this girl seems vaguely familiar...

The reason why Alicia died suddenly and why she suddenly appeared in the illusion remains a mystery to the audience. However, it is certain that the woman in front of them is definitely related to the reason why Alicia came to this illusion.

Because she looks so much like someone else...

Kiritsugu Emiya: "Irisviel? No, she's not Irisviel."

Kiritsugu Emiya wasn't so bad as to not recognize his wife; although they looked alike, there were actually quite a few differences.

Indeed, the woman before them had a face as exquisite as Irisviel's, like a doll, but she was not Irisviel. To be precise, she was Irisviel's ancestor, one of the original creators of the Holy Grail War system—Justeza!

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Why would someone who has been dead for five hundred years reappear in a phantom world?"

As one of the three founding families, Tokiomi Tohsaka naturally had information about Justeza, but the reappearance of a person who had died hundreds of years ago, especially in the illusion where Alicia was, was all inexplicably strange.

Bishop of Destiny: "The figure who passed away five hundred years ago... the strange and unsolvable illusion, and the fate of the world... I think I know who did this...?"

Among the audience in the multiverse, Otto's wisdom is definitely among the best. Compared to Conan and L, who are still pondering what happened, he already has a basic line of reasoning.

As is well known, the world of Type-Moon possesses self-awareness. Something called the Counter Force guides humanity and the world to develop along a normal path. Once something appears that affects the development of human history, it will face the risk of being eliminated by the Counter Force.

Of all known beings, only the consciousness of the world can silently detach Alicia's consciousness from her body and create such a perfect illusion.

However, the Counter Force usually does not directly affect the development of human history and world history. Instead, it dispatches various Heroic Spirits to correct the original history, and may summon Grand Servants when necessary.

However... Alicia is not a human from the Type-Moon world. Her previous existence left no trace in the Type-Moon world, so the Counter Force could very well directly target Alicia.

The current question is whether, after the confirmation of the restraining force, Alicia is not a factor influencing the development of human history, or whether her existence is revising human history.

So why did the suppressive force pull it into this illusion? And what is the significance of Juste's appearance?

“Alicia, a human from another world, or rather, a Herrscher from another world.”

To Alicia's astonishment, Justessa revealed her identity: a human from another world. This was not surprising, as her identity as an otherworldly being was no secret. However, the fact that she was a Herrscher... was a secret known to very few.

“You can call this body Yustisa. Since I cannot tell you about the disaster that this world is facing through telepathy or other means, I have brought you here in this extreme way.”

The girl, who looked exactly like Irisviel, said expressionlessly, "In the end, this body is just a tool for communicating with Alicia."

If it weren't for the inability to extract Alicia's thoughts, given its wicked nature, it would probably use familiar figures like Kevin or Eden to communicate with her.

"So that's how it is. You're the mastermind behind bringing me into this world—"

Alicia is not stupid. On the contrary, she was able to hide her identity as a Herrscher for so long in the Fire Moth and befriend each of the unique Heroes. Her intelligence is no less than that of Su, who is known as the most insightful of the Thirteen Heroes.

"Simply put, this world is facing an insurmountable problem, and after communicating with the Imaginary Tree, you arrived here..."

As if she didn't want to waste any time, Justisa said to Alicia, since Alicia was just a tool in her eyes, merely an experiment that occurred during the first interaction between the multiverses.

This indifferent attitude really angered many people. No matter what, Alicia was an outside helper you invited. It's one thing not to try to curry favor with her, but to be so rude is another.

However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Justeza. After all, he was just a tool, only responsible for keeping this absurd world running. It didn't matter to him who ultimately solved the problem, whether it was a Heroic Spirit or Alicia, as long as this broken world could continue to live.

"So what? What dangers does this world face that require my intervention?"

Alicia didn't care about Justeza's attitude at all; she was more curious about the structure of this park, since it seemed to have many phenomena that violated the laws of physics.

"Solomon should have told you that without his intervention, the Saber duo would have won this Holy Grail War, but now, because of Solomon's presence, the Saber duo's victory has turned into Caster's."

"You're not going to ask me to change my fate, are you?"

Alicia asked. She already knew about this, but she wouldn't do something so thankless. Fate was something she hated anyway.

Although he didn't have any ill will towards Saber, Marisbury had been scheming for so long and hadn't done anything too heinous. To say that fate was destined for Saber to win would be far too cruel for Marisbury.

"If that were all there was to it, there would be no need to go to such great lengths to summon a Herrscher from another multiverse who possesses the power to change fate."

The power to change destiny... When Justessa revealed Alicia's true powers as a Herrscher, Alicia finally began to confront this being who claimed to be the world...

Chapter Seventy: The Powers of the Primordial Herrscher

The concept of Herrscher is not particularly prominent in the context of the vast multiverse.

But for the people of the Honkai world, the Herrschers are synonymous with destruction; they are the enemies of humanity and the enemies of civilization.

Honkai Impact 2 and Honkai Impact 3 – the Herrschers in these two worlds are very different, but judging from their actions, their goals are the same: to destroy human civilization.

In any case, Herrscher is not a good term. In the world of Type-Moon, Herrschers are definitely enemies of civilization and beings that must be eliminated.

Now, Alicia's identity as a Herrscher has been confirmed, except for humans in the world who do not understand what a Herrscher is.

Most people in the world that possessed the concept of Herrschers instantly lost all goodwill towards Alicia.

Especially in a world on the verge of collapse and destruction, Alicia is seen as a monster, and given the chance, they would not hesitate to kill her and seize her Herrscher core.

Although it's extreme, you can't blame them. Even a powerful civilization like the previous one would kill a defenseless little girl after experiencing the Restraint Massacre, let alone those worlds that have no ability to resist the collapse.

......

Otto Apocalypse, head of the Destiny headquarters, fell into a rare moment of deep thought. He could be considered the inheritor of the previous civilization, possessing the most extensive and complete knowledge of its history, technology, and even heritage.

Otto was not surprised by Alicia's identity as a Herrscher, or rather, he had guessed it beforehand. However... what puzzled Otto was which Herrscher Alicia was.

As is well known, the Herrschers of the pre-civilization era differed greatly from those of the current civilization. In the current civilization, the First Herrscher, Welt, and the Second Herrscher, Sirin, have proven that Herrschers possess emotions.

Unlike previous civilizations, the Herrschers' only emotion was hatred for humanity. They faithfully followed the nature of Honkai and destroyed human civilization.

From the First Herrscher to the Last Herrscher, this is true for everyone. So... what about Alicia? Which Herrscher is she? And why does she possess human emotions? Is she connected to the Herrschers of the current civilization?

This is something even his old friend Fu Hua probably doesn't know. In today's world, only the savior hero hidden in the Sea of ​​Quanta knows the whole story...

"Where did you hear about this?" Alicia asked, facing 'Yestisa'.

"The Imaginary Tree has told us everything about Alicia, including that you are the true First Herrscher, and about the power of the Primordial Herrscher—to rewrite the fate of the world..."

As one of the sources of the Honkai world, the Imaginary Tree can be said to have completely told Alicia's information to the Counter Force. Therefore, to some extent, the Counter Force even understands Alicia better than Alicia herself.

To be honest, it's not pleasant to feel completely exposed to others. Although Alicia doesn't mind sharing some secrets with her close friends, she is very reluctant to share them with this person in front of her, whose gender she doesn't know.

However... rewriting one's destiny, no wonder she felt that as long as she wanted to, she could do it.

The Herrscher of Origin—Alicia prefers to call herself the Herrscher of Humanity. As for what her powers are, she herself doesn't know. She originally thought that her powers should be to have human emotions, but as time went by, she found that it didn't seem to be like that.

After all, look at those Herrschers, their powers are all incredibly powerful, like manipulating fluids or creating Honkai-free barriers—those powers have caused them a lot of trouble.

It was heartbreaking for Alicia that her powers turned out to be so simple in the end.

However, Alicia was still very happy to hear that her true power was to rewrite fate. It sounded very impressive, and that was enough.

"Oh, so who is the real enemy?"

Although she was very excited inside, Alicia didn't show it. Sharing happiness is selective, especially since the people in front of her weren't even human.

Accompanied by "Outer Gods—"

"Outer God?"

"The Narrator of the City of Desolation—that Noble Phantasm is an EX-rank Noble Phantasm of Reason. Although it is not fully released, under Francesca's use, it has already opened a passage to the world for the Outer Gods. Although it is small, it is extremely conspicuous. It won't be long before they arrive."

"To defeat the Outer Gods, we would need at least seven Grand-rank or higher Heroic Spirits, just like we would against the Beasts. But we don't have that capability right now, so we can only rely on you—"

'Yustissa' replied, "To be honest... Outer Gods are much more terrifying than Beasts. At least Beasts are born from human love, and there are traces to follow, so they can be understood. They can be dealt with by relying on the Grand Succubus Fujimaru Ritsuka and adding a few tool Servants. But Outer Gods... Twistedness and incomprehensibility are their innate skills."

In a world like Type-Moon, where mystery and power are intertwined, the strength of the Outer Gods is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Are you so sure I can defeat the Outer Gods?"

She had heard of the term Outer God before, but she didn't know what level it was. However, it seemed very powerful. How could 'Yestisa' be so sure that she could defeat an Outer God?

However, 'Yestisa' ignored Alicia and said a bit too much. "In return, after defeating the Outer Gods, this Eternal Paradise will be given to you as a gift."

That's right—this Eternal Paradise isn't just an illusion, but a real place, like a barrier. Although the scenery isn't too different from what Alicia imagined, it doesn't serve any other purpose...

Einstein: "Indeed, the origin of that book is extraordinary. Although it doesn't have much power of its own, it can attract something even more terrifying."

Dr. Lobster: "External gods? Whether they're external or internal gods, let's just blast all the bad gods to the heavens!"

The Anti-Entropy scientific duo has made their appearance. Rather than saying they were drawn here by the Herrscher, it's more accurate to say they were attracted by the Herrscher, since the founder of Anti-Entropy is Welt, the first Herrscher of the current civilization.

Eriri: "E...Einstein? Is it the scientist Einstein I thought he was? And what is Dr. Lobster?"

Einstein: "That's right, I am the scientist Albert Einstein. It seems that although we live in different worlds, I am quite famous in your world."

Dr. Lobster: "Damn it, what's wrong with this bullet screen system? Why did it give this genius such a weird name—and I can't even change it? You could have at least given me a title like that bastard Otto's—"

Tesla in the lab was furious. As a well-known Zaunite in Honkai Impact 3, she just wanted to make the guy who named her taste the power of Titan's Fist.

Bishop of Destiny: "Sigh—why does it always have to involve me? Dr. Tesla, we have no grudges against each other, there's no need to keep bringing me up in the light screen image."

Tesla: "You shill, you have no grudge against me? Your conscience must have been eaten by Honkai Beasts! I could go on and on about all the embarrassing things you've done—"

Bishop of Destiny: "Alright, Dr. Lobster, if you want to argue, you're welcome to come to Destiny headquarters. Friends from Anti-Entropy are always welcome here. However... in the projection on the screen, let's appreciate the figures of the heroes of the previous civilization—"

L: "Now, the real enemy has been revealed; the final battle is about to begin—"

Boros: "Let me see the power to destroy the world, the true powerhouse of Earth—"
