The usual ft voice rang in Aleph's ears.
{Result: The observed phenomena has 74.51% simirities to the hypothetical phenomeled 'Herrscher Core Cascade'. The e to the [Imaginary Space] spiralled the honkai energy out of trol...}
Honkai ‘cascade’ was a term generally used for out-of-trol honkai-reted phenomena. It was used once when valkyries lose trol. It redated by the use of the Previous Era to the MANTISes who reverted to the true forms of their ICHOR.
Other than that, it was used to once describe Sirin’s out-of-trol Herrscher Core. Its e to the imaginary space remained, yet its form was broken into pieces.
It resulted in the honkai energy supplied by the imaginary space to overflow, nearly turning half of Asia into a cascade zoerm used to call honkai-radiated areas.
The same thing happened in front of Aleph. The Gem used to create a ‘Gem Herrscher’ broke down a out copious amounts of honkai energy.
{...suggested line of a is to thhly destroy the outflowing honkai energy with greater energy as well as the destructive aspect of Albion's Authority.}
‘I see. This is feasible.’
Aleph stared at the broken fragments of the red gemsto emitted aremely bright purple light. The fragments themselves were no loangible—they became blurry, akin to a proje.
Click.
Hum.
He held Yamato by his right waist. He moved his thumb above the swuard, partially pushing the bde upwards with it.
A tingle of bck light enveloped his bde. It was Albion’s ‘destructive’ aspect at work.
The abilities gained from Albion’s body are akin to passive skills.
The ‘life’ aspect made Aleph’s body tougher with greater recovery. Oher hand, the ‘destru’ aspect made his attacks extremely dangerous. This one could either be maed in the form of bck-red sers (simir to Melusine) or an added buff to his other means.
In this case, Aleph chose the tter.
Sou-!
It was a single ssh. An invisible force desded upon his domain. Akin to a bulldozer, it destroyed everything along his way.
Crack-!
Shatter-!
Space was the first oo give up. Mirror-like shards appeared in the Gem of Haste’s viity. It didn’t take long for the impact to seep into the Sea of Quanta itself.
Swoosh-!
k-!
Bam-!
What came was a clear king sound. It sounded like a whistle in his ears.
Finally—
Boom-!
—destru came.
*****
Rumble-!
Hua felt the strong tremors below her feet. It had only been ten seds since Aleph arrived otlefield. She did as she was told, going as far away as she could.
Then, a bck spherical curtain appeared and covered both Aleph and the ‘Herrscher’.
Five seds ter, the tter’s body was thrown outside the sphere.
That brings her to the current sario.
Sizzle-!
Just as a wave of honkai energy swept her face, an invisible force desded out of nowhere and made her fortable. Her wounds healed at aremely fast rate. The fatigue she felt from the battle earlier disappeared in mere seds.
What greeted her eyes was the sight of the bck curtain crumbling down. It revealed Aleph, who had sheathed his sword. It soon disappeared from his grasp.
Honkai energy inated from their battlepd began spreading to the surroundings.
At the same time, Aleph stomped his feet to the ground. A white light perceptible to only him spread out of the ey.
‘Not all would live…’
He hid these thoughts inside his mind. He came in front of Hua and patted her head.
“Take care of the things here. I o go help the others.”
“Um.”
Hua’s eyes met his. Her sight wandered around for a while until she decided on something.
She tiptoed her feet and pecked his cheek with her lips.
The residual heat brought Aleph back to reality.
‘This… It’s good.’
Four red strings are tied in his pinky finger. Eae of them reminded him of the reasons why he fights.
Filled with motivation, his figure soared to the skies.
*****
“Why does it hate him?”
Months of w along with it made Ling realize how much it hated the person she was obsessed with the most—Aleph.
When she was ‘asked’ to move, everything was ill-targeted towards him.
“What did he d..?”
Unfortunately, she was destio be left with no answers.
Ling’s mind was redirected to what she was doing. Her figure swept through her surroundings like a gale. Her entire body was covered in dark blue light.
With the help of the ability to tamper with the Sea of Quanta, she was able to use quantum enta to perform stealth. Her body left no traces in the physical world.
After several more high-rise buildings, she arrived at her destination.
A boy not older than fifteen was surrounded by green winds. The entire area around him was swept by aremely strong tornado. No signs of life could be found iy they were in.
“You… It’s you. The one who gave me this.”
“I thought you would fet.”
“Never.”
Thinking of all the horrendous things he went through, he gripped his fists.
A teer wolf-shaped honkai beast appeared alongside the boy.
“You must have heard it. That certain thought in your subscious…”
“Sir Aleph? Fire MOTH’s stro fighter?” He spoke. “’t we deal with him? There are two of us.”
Ling’s long bck hair swayed as she shook her head.
“Even if there are four… no, five of us. It wouldn’t work.”
“How did you know?”
“The same as how I gave you those gems.”
The fems Ling received from it weren’t actually Herrscher Cores, yet they could serve as a "pass" ohe right ditions are met. This, in turn, creates a new Herrscher chosen by the Co.
Such was the case for this era’s sed Herrscher of Wind.
Uhe former Herrscher of Wind, the boy has clear thoughts.
“e with me.”
The girl gestured with her arm. Despite being pgued with fusion, the boy held out her hand.
Moments ter, the two Herrschers disappeared from the spot.
A few mier, a figure was dropped by a fast transport pne.
Swoosh-!
“Where is it?”
The MANTIS who served as the vanguard could only look at her surroundings in fusion.
