If you have to pay the original price to buy all the rights and privileges, who can afford that?

If Chen Luo were even slightly sane, he wouldn't have bought the various powers of the Honkai faction at the original price.

The problem is that some Herrscher haven't been released yet, so if you want to obtain them, you can only buy their powers from the Honkai faction.

The Herrscher of Rock, the Herrscher of Wind, the Herrscher of Knowledge, the Herrscher of Flame, the Herrscher of Restraint...

If we really wait until all these Herrscher are all here, wouldn't it take three or four years?

By then, Chen Luo had been able to conquer the entire Honkai World.

So you call yourself Honkai Consciousness?

Chen Luo felt it was a pity that his Friend of the Non-Human, the Chen the Great Philanthropist, and the 200% Honkai Energy Adaptation seemed to be useless against Honkai Consciousness.

Otherwise, if we could get a 20% discount off the full price, that would be amazing.

However, it's likely that other Herrscher don't receive the same treatment as me, with the Honkai Consciousness watching over them every day, so this can be considered a special privilege.

Except for Sirin.

Sirin is truly the Honkai of the Honkai.

Chapter 126 Favorability Limits for Fusion Herrscher Core

Feeling the gaze of the Honkai Consciousness, Chen Luo slowly took out an item from his backpack, a gem— the Plague Gem.

Of course, it can also be called the Herrscher Core of Flame.

Of course, there are still differences between the two. These gems can only be released and become the Herrscher Core when they encounter their true master.

Chen Luo was very curious. Since Sirin could become a six-core Herrscher, why couldn't he become a two-core Herrscher? After all, his Honkai Energy Adaptation had increased to 200%.

There's no denying that Sirin is Honkai's favorite daughter.

The game begins with the Honkai Consciousness following and communicating with the player. Then, upon arriving on the moon, the player is given four Herrscher Core, thus becoming a five-core Herrscher.

When Sirin was about to be killed by Fu Hua's Yu Du Chen, the Honkai Consciousness personally intervened and saved Sirin.

If she's not considered my biological daughter, then I don't have any biological daughters.

Moreover, this favored treatment was extended to Kiana, namely K423.

K423 is essentially Sirin. Although her body is a clone, her soul is a manifestation of Sirin's consciousness residing in the Herrscher of the Void Core.

Kiana's innate talent is exceptionally strong, which goes without saying. In a short period of time, she learned how to unleash the Tai Xu Sword God, which even Chen Luo found impressive.

Chen Luo had at least bought the Void Sword God with Primogems. He had been cultivating in his consciousness space for almost a year without much progress, which was why he spent Primogems to acquire it. Therefore, Chen Luo was quite envious of Kiana's talent.

Kiana is just too strong, unlike me, who only has the Traveler talent and has to spend Primogem to get what I want.

Talent, card draw!

There's also Kiana's Herrscher Greatsword, which has several Herrscher Core.

Actually, thinking about it carefully, it seems that the only Herrscher we know of with a multi- Herrscher Core is Sirin. Previously it was Sirin herself, now it's K423.

This clearly demonstrates the Honkai Consciousness's affection for Sirin.

The Herrscher of Rimestar doesn't count; that was a reward she received after sacrificing her lover. Sirin, on the other hand, obtained it with virtually no cost.

"Sigh, I wonder how my plan to have Yae Sakura planted as a teacher at the St. Freya Academy is going." Chen Luo said abruptly after playing with the Herrscher Core.

[Ding! Honkai faction item exchange discount is 9.6%]

Nice!

Although Chen Luo didn't know if he could become a dual-core Herrscher, it was definitely the right thing to do to raise his favorability with the Honkai Consciousness first.

Although Chen Luo originally wanted Yae Sakura to lead those Herrscher to become traitors, that didn't stop Chen Luo from saying nice things first.

As for what happens if Yae Sakura's Honkai Consciousness...

A plan is a plan, and execution is execution; it's normal for problems to arise.

Your Honkai Consciousness originally allowed the Herrscher of Knowledge to be born within Fu Hua's body, but didn't you expect that the Herrscher of Knowledge's insignificant consciousness would be destroyed by Fu Hua's memories?

We're all about the same.

"Speaking of Herrscher Core, it seems like the Herrscher Core in my body has disappeared," Chen Luo muttered to himself.

As a legitimate Herrscher, Chen Luo also possesses Herrscher Core, namely the Herrscher of Domination Core. When it was inside Chen Luo's body, Chen Luo didn't intend to remove it, since who knows what might happen if he did?

After Chen Luo fixed the Herrscher Authority into talents, this core disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

However, for Chen Luo, whether or not he has Herrscher Core is not important; what matters is whether or not he has Herrscher Authority.

After muttering a couple of things to himself, Chen Luo began to use Honkai energy to activate the power of the Herrscher Core in his hand.

As Honkai energy was injected slightly, the Herrscher Core in Chen Luo's hand began to react very noticeably. A little bit of fire burst out from the Herrscher Core, but Chen Luo, who was holding the fire, did not feel any temperature.

Chen Luo tried pressing the Herrscher Core, which was gradually starting to glow, against his chest to see if he could integrate it into his body.

Things went surprisingly smoothly; the Herrscher Core began to merge into Chen Luo 'Chen Luo chest as it pressed against his skin.

"Bang!" Just as the Herrscher Core was halfway integrated, there was a bang, and the Herrscher Core was ejected again.

"???" Chen Luo caught the Herrscher Core that was ejected, looking completely bewildered.

What happened?

[Ding! Please increase the Honkai faction discount to below 10% before integrating the second Herrscher Gem.]

At this moment, the talent panel suddenly appeared on Chen Luo's face, explaining the reason.

"..."

Damn it! So, I have to depend on your Honkai Consciousness to fuse with the Herrscher Core?

Okay, we definitely need to see that.

This doesn't make sense either. Why can Sirin fuse 6 cores, while I need to raise my affinity to 90% before fusing my second core?

It's impossible that Sirin's initial affection level is only 40% of what it should be, right? That's just too outrageous.

But thinking about it carefully, Sirin seems to be the first Herrscher in this civilization to actually do something worthwhile...

Of course, these things that are extremely close to swear words must not be said aloud; they can only be thought about in one's mind.

But actually, once things are out in the open, it feels quite normal. The Honkai Consciousness doesn't have enough affection for you, so if it doesn't want you to use the Herrscher Core, you can't use it.

Even if you put this Herrscher Core into your body, you can't use it, so it's just a decoration.

Just like Wendy, the Herrscher of Wind, she conducted experiments for three years. The Herrscher Core stayed in her body for three years, and it wasn't until three years later, after reaching an agreement with the Honkai Consciousness, that she became the Herrscher of Wind.

Three years! Three years and they still haven't managed to tame a single Herrscher Core.

The Herrscher Core is indeed in your hands and within your body, but you're not allowed to use it. Sigh, aren't you angry?

Getting angry won't help.

"I didn't gain the Herrscher Core's recognition? It seems I haven't done enough. It's definitely not the Honkai's fault, it's my fault. I must think more about the Honkai faction in the future and deal with these ungrateful humans!" Chen Luo murmured, holding the Herrscher Core in his hand.

Although Chen Luo still harbors resentment, she still needs to say some kind words.

There's nothing shameful about seeking power.

[Ding! Honkai faction item exchange discount is 9.5%]

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo couldn't help but feel a little weary.

These days, even being Herrscher isn't easy.

Chen Luo sighed as he used the Teleport Anchor.

However, before using the Teleport Anchor, Chen Luo suddenly used the special ability of his modified Herrscher's Body —actively shielding Honkai Consciousness.

Almost instantly, Chen Luo appeared on the top floor of the survivor base.

As someone who basically sets up a teleportation point wherever he goes, the top floor of this survivor base naturally didn't escape Chen Luo's clutches either.

Fortunately, Teleport Anchor can be recycled and reused. Chen Luo had placed 15 Teleport Anchor throughout Changkong City, and 10 of them have already been recycled, leaving only 5.

The effect of the modified Herrscher's Body in shielding the Honkai Consciousness was almost immediate. After Chen Luo had only teleported a few hundred meters, he felt that he had lost the Honkai Consciousness's surveillance.

Chen Luo could easily sense the Honkai Consciousness's gaze; it was as if there was a faint sense of being watched. Without anyone reminding him, Chen Luo knew that the Honkai Consciousness was watching him.

With this ability, Chen Luo was finally freed up.

Turn off this ability when you say nice things about the Honkai Consciousness, and turn it on again when you say bad things about it.

Chen Luo just didn't know if the Honkai Consciousness would still be able to see him if he stayed in place and shut it down.

But Chen Luo knew that as long as he instantly teleported to another location and activated this active effect, he could escape the sight of the Honkai Consciousness.

Honkai Consciousness is not omnipotent. Leaving aside its frantic Honkai Consciousness during the Herrscher of Knowledge incident, the fact that the Previous Era's Shelter Project could actually be successfully implemented shows that Honkai Consciousness is not omniscient or omnipotent.

By digging the shelter deeper, one can escape the final purge by the Herrscher of the End.

Regardless of whether the Honkai Consciousness failed to discover the shelter or discovered it but chose not to, it is certain that the Honkai Consciousness is not omniscient.

"I really want to integrate this thing into the Vision." Chen Luo said unhappily, looking at the Herrscher Core in his hand.

"Huh? The Vision?" Although he had only said it in anger, Chen Luo's mind suddenly went blank after he realized what he was talking about.

"Doesn't the Vision absorb all kinds of energy? Is it possible that it can absorb the Herrscher Core of Flame?"

It's certain that the Vision in Chen Luo's hand is no ordinary Vision.

The Vision in Chen Luo's hand has the property of absorbing everything, which is something that ordinary Vision absolutely do not possess.

So here's the question: can the Vision devour the Herrscher Core of Flame?

With that thought in mind, Chen Luo took out his Vision.

On her left hand is the Herrscher of Flame, and on her right hand is the Anemo Vision.

"If we could just use the Vision to consume all these Herrscher Core, why bother grinding for Honkai favorability? We could just steal all the existing Herrscher Core and let the Vision consume them, wouldn't that solve everything?"

"Of course, we can't say that all Herrscher Core were eaten by the Vision. Elemental Herrscher Core can be eaten, but functional Herrscher Core cannot."

After Chen Luo categorized all the Herrscher Core, Chen Luo roughly divided Herrscher Core into two types.

One type is the elemental Herrscher Core, and the other is the functional Herrscher Core.

The former includes the Herrscher Core of Flame core, the Herrscher Core, the Herrscher of Herrscher of Ice, and the Herrscher of Thunder Core.

The latter is the Herrscher of Reason Core Herrscher of the Void Core, the core of the Herrscher of Rock Emptiness, the Herrscher of Knowledge Core Herrscher Core of Death, the core of the Herrscher of Domination, the core of the Herrscher of Restraint, and the core of the Herrscher of Corrosion.

Although the Herrscher Authority theory is the ultimate manifestation of a physical phenomenon.

But playing with fire is playing with fire, and playing with lightning is playing with lightning. No matter how skillful your actions are, they are still just various applications of these attributes.

Of course, the truth is not that simple. The Herrscher Core of Flame is indeed the control of molecular motion, which is truly amazing.

But on the surface, that's how it's presented, and that's how the Herrscher of Flame uses it.

If these elemental Herrscher Core were absorbed by the Vision, it would be equivalent to possessing the corresponding elemental Vision. Of course, the Herrscher Core are far more powerful and efficient than the Vision.

But the functional Herrscher Core is different.

Chen Luo was unsure what effect the Herrscher Core would have after being consumed by the Vision.

Just like the core of the Herrscher of Domination, it cannot be explained by a single elemental attribute; in fact, the Herrscher of Domination is also equipped with a separate Puppet Collection Vault.

Fortunately, Chen Luo currently has a Herrscher Core of Flame core that he can use for experimentation.

Even if the experiment fails, or even if he only awakens an ability equivalent to the Vision the Fire Element, Chen Luo will not feel like he has lost out.

Compared to these elemental Herrscher Core that focus more on destructive power, Chen Luo still prefers the functional ones.

Why not leave the offensive capabilities to special attacks?

Besides, look at the Previous Era, what kind of Herrscher caused the most harm to humanity?

Of all the Herrscher, if Flame-Chasers were to choose one who left the deepest impression on them, it would undoubtedly be the Herrscher of Restraint.

What troubles them most must be the Herrscher of Domination.
