"Am I really that poisonous?" Otto said helplessly. This Bishop was clearly quite delicious.
Kiana, Kiana, and Bronya could all attest to that. Fu Hua could not, for the time being.
"Because it carries imaginary properties, a part of the Imaginary. Honkai rejects that part, which is why it has a tendency toward self-destruction," Elysia said, as though she had personally experienced it.
But Otto found that strange. Honkai was a product of the Imaginary, a trial the Imaginary bestowed upon civilization. If that was the case, why would Honkai reject a part of the Imaginary...
Oh.
As an exploiter and capitalist, Otto immediately understood.
Perhaps Honkai had been designed that way from the beginning. At most, it was merely a tool casually made by the Imaginary. Its upper limit had long been fixed; it had no right to ascend any higher.
"Then, when the Will of Honkai swallowed one arm of my consciousness..." Otto asked. Before that, the Will of Honkai had merely wanted to kill him. Afterward, it only wanted to toy him to death.
"Mm, it broke because it fused with your arm." Elysia nodded. "The Will of Honkai is in a very bad position now. It has become an anomaly within Honkai. At any moment, Honkai may produce new antibodies, and its consciousness will be erased directly."
"However, its breakdown has also affected Honkai, causing the part of you that was suppressed by the antibodies more than fifty thousand years ago to leak out. Honkai will prioritize filling its own flaws before fixing the BUG."
"But one day, Honkai will repair it. Its only way to break through this predicament is to swallow you completely, allowing it to completely transcend Honkai."
"Oh, so should I hide somewhere and wait until the Will of Honkai is repaired?"
