The next moment, a script appeared in everyone's hands.

(The Herrscher of Reason has altered your perception—you now believe you're holding a perfect script written by the great Herrscher of Reason.)

Reborn as the Herrscher of the Void

Author: The Herrscher of Reason (strikethrough on "Shi")

Piracy will be prosecuted!

[Theresa: A script written by a Herrscher? It's not some kind of Honkai-destroys-humanity script, is it?] Σ(?д?|||)??

[Murata Himeko: Judging by the art style of this world, it probably isn't that kind of script!] (??ω??)

[Bronya: Based on the title, this script is most likely one of those cliché rebirth stories.] ▼△▼

[Yae Miko: Rebirth stories? Speaking of which, there's a popular novel at the Yae Publishing House right now that's very similar to that genre.] (〃￣ω￣〃)ゞ

[Yae Miko: I think it's called Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun and Becoming Invincible Under Heaven.]

[Raiden Ei: ...] (?_?)

[Yae Miko: Oh my~ What's this? Does Lady Shogun have an interest?] (??.??‵)

[Yae Miko: Lady Shogun, just say the word and I'll send it over. Plus, Inazuma just got some new sweets~] (ˉ︶ˉ)

[Raiden Ei: No need.] ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

[Kujou Sara: Guusji-sama, how could Lady Shogun possibly be interested in such frivolous things as light novels and sweets!] (?`~′?)

[Yae Miko: What a shame. I'll just have to enjoy them myself then.] (.???)?

In the world of Genshin Impact, within the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko wasn't disappointed by Ei's response. Though she'd failed to lure her out of the Plane of Euthymia with a light novel, she hadn't really expected to succeed anyway—she knew her god was far too stubborn for that.

This was just a test, nothing more. No cost if it failed, and a win if it succeeded. No loss either way.

The video continued.

Bronya picked up her script and began flipping through it.

"The Herrscher of the Void and Himeko fought for three days and three nights before finally stopping. The Herrscher of the Void said to Himeko, who had been fighting with all her might..." ▼△▼?

(Please mentally insert the Kamen Rider Build theme song "Be The One")

"Hehehe haha... Humans really are interesting, after all. I've decided not to destroy humanity!" (?ˇ?ˇ?)ゞ

"The kind and mighty Lady Herrscher of the Void, in her great mercy, resolves to assist the protagonist team in opposing the Honkai...?" ▼△▼

Kiana then sidled over, reading from her own script.

"Lady Herrscher of the Void guides me as I grow stronger..." ?_?

"Easily resolved the Changkong City crisis, defeated the Herrscher of a Thousand, crushed Otto and Kevin, then when the Finality descended, used the Beta System given by Ai Yi to break through six-dimensional space!? And sealed the Finality inside the Planck Membrane using the Herrscher of the Void's powers?!" ?(?'?'?)??????

(Good grief! Kiana sealed Kiana? How did I dream up something like this?)

"Wow..." ▼△▼

"This script is garbage..." ▼△▼

"Why is my script all about Mei being on her way here?" (.?_?)

[Himeko: This script...] (-_-)ゞ

[Furina: So bad!] (｀ε′)|

[Theresa: But what's this about a Changkong City crisis in the script?] (′｀;)?

[Murata Himeko: And that Herrscher of a Thousand she mentioned—from the name, does it mean thousands of Herrschers combined into one?] ⊙(?◇?)!

[Kiana: Oh no! Thousands of Herrschers! We could barely handle even one Herrscher like Wendy before. If thousands showed up, would this world even stand a chance?] (.???)?

[Sirin: ...☆] (￢_￢)

[Sirin: Don't lump that thing in with us Herrschers! It got stalled by a bunch of students who hadn't even graduated—I refuse to acknowledge it as a Herrscher! ☆] (?ì_í?)

[Susanna: Just a Herrscher? Lady Durandal could take care of it with one hand!]

[Durandal: Not necessarily. If it were thousands of Herrschers, even I'd have a hard time handling them. And... sorry, but who are you? I don't recall seeing you at Schicksal headquarters?] [?_??]

Susanna: Lady Durandal replied to me! Aaaaah!!! I'm so excited! o(*≧▽≦)ツ~┴┴

[Susanna: Lady Durandal! I'm Susanna! My dream is to become an S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, just like you!]

Rita: I feel like someone's eyeing my little cabbage... (￢_￢)

[Susanna: Even though I haven't officially joined Schicksal yet, I'll definitely work hard!] get!?('ω')?

[Rita: Then keep up the good work, Miss Susanna. Lady Durandal and I look forward to the day we can fight the Honkai alongside you.]

Susanna: Aaaaah! Another S-rank Valkyrie, Rita, replied to me too! Is today my lucky day or what? (?˙▽˙?)

[Susanna: I'll definitely do my best, Lady Rita! One day, I'll fight side by side with you!] ??(??ω??)?

Rita: So "fight alongside us" equals "fight alongside Lady Durandal" equals "be with Lady Durandal"! Damn it, I'm not giving up on Lady Durandal! ψ(｀?′)ψ

[Wendy: So you're not denying you could take on thousands of me?] (?｀ω′?)

[Rita: Miss Wendy, please don't take it to heart. It's not that we look down on you—it's just that your track record so far is... well, what it is.]

[Sirin: Heh~ Weakling!☆](￢_￢)

[Wendy: (╬◣д◢)]

[Elysia: Wow~ You even beat Kevin? What an impressive Herrscher! Let me give you some praise~?]ヾ(??▽?)ノ

[Gray Serpent: How could someone like you possibly defeat our Lord!](?｀⊿′)?

[Sirin: What do you mean, "someone like you"?! I am the Great Herrscher of the Void, the strongest Herrscher who once nearly brought humanity to ruin!☆]?(`?′)?

[Gray Serpent: What's that supposed to mean?! Our Lord is the strongest Flame Chaser! A mere Herrscher like you—our Lord could take you down with one hand tied behind their back!]

[Sirin: Oh~ Is that so? Then why didn't I see your Lord during the Second Honkai Impact back then!?](o｀ε′o)

[Gray Serpent: Hmph! A mere Second Herrscher wasn't worth our Lord's time!](???ω???)

[Gray Serpent: The only one worthy of our Lord's intervention is the End!](?`^′?)

[Kiana: This Gray Serpent... such a show-off.](￢_￢)

[Otto: Though it seems in this script, my image is that of a villain.](￣ェ￣;)

[Welt: And you're not?]→_→

[Tesla: And you're not?]→_→

Unpaid overtime (crossed out)

A few days after the team-building event...

A-Quan was sitting excitedly in front of her computer at home, waiting for the "highlight moments" filmed during the team-building (overtime) event a few days ago.

A-Quan sat before the computer, swearing to everyone that no matter the cost! This time, she would reclaim everything that belonged to her!
