Collapse, but Stand users

After the Herrscher Core was dismantled, you asked Velvet to develop it into a Divine Key.

[In the battle against the Herrscher of Death, not a single member of the Church was injured or killed, and the lower ranks of the Flame Chaser have begun to praise your achievements.]

[Your achievements in defeating the three Herrschers have greatly increased your reputation, and for a time, your reputation surpassed that of Alicia.]

The sixth Newcomer's Ball was being held as scheduled, and many warriors were eager to join the church.

[But those warriors don't meet your standards, so you ask Moth Chaser to send Mebius and Mebius to the Moth Chaser branch on Twilight Street.]

[I had expected some obstacles, but the higher-ups at Firemoth were surprisingly accommodating this time.]

[Later, you learned that Dolce & Gabbana had secretly replaced most of the senior executives who were wary of you.]

You never expected that your unintentional act would yield such a great reward.

Upon learning that May was being transferred to Twilight Street, Kevin was naturally overjoyed.

[Accompanying Mebius were Gretchen, the sisters Klein and Danju, and Alicia.]

"Gresh is unwell, and they are Möbius's assistants, so why did you come here?"

"Huh? I'm a member of the church too. Look, this is my cross!"

As she spoke, Alicia took out the cross you had given her.

“Father Pucci, is Eden still here?”

"She went to Australia to hold a concert."

......

“He said to me, ‘No, I am a fellow servant with you, with your brothers the prophets and with those who keep the words of this book. You must worship God.’”

"He also said to me, 'Do not seal up the prophecies in this book, for the time is near.'"

Father Pucci was deep in thought as he looked at the verses in the Book of Revelation when a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

“Father, there have been some changes to the skull.”

Father Pucci nodded and got up to walk toward the church.

Upon entering the church, the skull had indeed undergone some changes.

A small tree grew from the original skull.

Father Pucci gently touched the sapling and felt a surge of vibrant life energy.

"Yes, the date is approaching."

Father Pucci smiled with satisfaction, then instructed John Gerry, "Guard the church well, and don't let anyone in except me."

"Yes, Father."

......

After that, all you have to do is wait for the green baby to hatch.

With more and more people joining, the sanatorium has become lively again.

Rather than comrades-in-arms, we're more like family.

Afterwards, Eden gave everyone in the sanatorium concert tickets and invited them to attend.

However, the tickets you received were pre-arranged; the actual concert is still some time away.

[According to her predetermined fate, Himiko will become the Herrscher of Flame at the Eden concert.]

[In fact, you really want to know what would happen if Himiko became a Stand user earlier.]

What would happen if you killed a Herrscher candidate prematurely?

But the template of evil doesn't completely devour you.

You still retain kindness in your heart, kindness towards those you know well.

To play it safe, you've chosen to turn Himiko into a Stand user only after she becomes a Herrscher.

However, you lack the physical attributes to withstand the Herrscher of Flame's high temperatures in this simulation.

You have two candidates for this.

[First, Kevin after becoming a fusion warrior; second, the resilient Qian Jie.]

"Mébius, how is your plan to fuse humans with Honkai Beasts progressing?" Father Pucci asked Mébius.

Mebius shook his head, indicating that the plan was not going very smoothly.

Kevin became a Fusion Warrior some time after Himiko became a Herrscher.

[Even if you make Kevin a fusion warrior, you don't know if it will be successful.]

"Better safe than sorry, you still intend to have Qianjie carry out this mission?"

"Qianjie, are you afraid of high temperatures?"

"Hmph, what a foolish question. Even the Herrscher of Ice couldn't extinguish my flames, and you're asking me if I'm afraid of high temperatures?"

[Afterwards, you explained the task to him.]

He asked you why he agreed to do that.

"There's always something to do in this house," you replied.

......

Before the concert started, you went to check on the skull.

After a period of gestation, the tree on the skull has borne "fruit".

Through the transparent skin, you can see the green human fetus.

It seems it will take some more time.

As they walked out of the church, Alicia urged, "Hurry up, Father Pucci, everyone's waiting for you."

"coming."
