Herrscher of Wind

[Calm days passed one by one.]

[At 19 years old, a large-scale Honkai outbreak occurred.]

[In the same year, Blanca left Mobius's laboratory, introducing Klein to Mobius before leaving.]

[At the same time, Vill-V successfully constructed "The Sea of Quanta" to imprison entities that the Flame Chasers could not control.]

[One year after the appearance of the Third Herrscher, the Fourth Herrscher—the Herrscher of Wind—appeared.]

[The Herrscher of Wind could control the flow of air, and if controlled properly, could deal a devastating blow to Earth's ecosystem.]

[But you weren't planning to intervene.]

[Firstly, the Herrscher of Thunder's corpse disappeared last time, only leaving behind the Herrscher Core, which aroused the suspicion of the Flame Chasers.]

[Secondly, you couldn't touch the Herrscher of Wind, making Killer Queen's abilities difficult to activate.]

'Then, I'll leave it to Kevin and Elysia.' Watching the storm raging in the distance, Yoshikage Kira did not approach, instead cleaning up Honkai Beasts alone in the surrounding areas.

The Stand absorbed Honkai energy, gradually growing stronger, and in turn, feeding back into Yoshikage Kira himself.

Feeling the surge of power within him, Yoshikage Kira swung his fist at a Chariot-class Honkai Beast in front of him.

"Bang." The Honkai Beast's head split open like a watermelon. Yoshikage Kira nodded in satisfaction and retracted his hand.

"Are you alright?" Yoshikage Kira turned around and said to the boy behind him.

"I... I'm fine," the boy said, still shaken.

Yoshikage Kira didn't say much more and prepared to continue clearing out other Honkai Beasts.

Watching Yoshikage Kira's retreating back, the boy mustered his courage and said, "Senior, how can I become as strong as you?"

"I want to become a hero!"

Looking at the boy with dark green hair before him, Yoshikage Kira said, "Go to the Flame Chasers. You'll find what you're looking for there."

"Also, don't go near the center of the storm. What's inside isn't something you can fight with just a passionate heart."

With that, Yoshikage Kira turned and left.

[You saved the future ninth member of the Flame-Moth Heroes, "Dawn" Cosmo, and guided him to join the Flame Chasers.]

[Ultimately, the Flame Chasers paid a heavy price to eliminate the Herrscher of Wind.]

[Before her death, the Herrscher of Wind unleashed her full authority, leaving the Flame Chasers with a despair-inducing outcome.]

[She altered the flow of atmospheric circulation.]

[However, this would not have a significant impact on the climate in the short term.]

[But over time, human civilization would face an apocalyptic disaster.]

"Senior, aren't you worried?" Cosmo asked Yoshikage Kira after training.

"Worried about what?"

"About the Herrscher of Wind incident."

"Worried it might bring about a turning point?" Yoshikage Kira looked at the boy before him and continued, "If you're worried it won't change anything, then what you need to do is use every minute and second to improve yourself."

"Worry, anxiety, fear, and other emotions all stem from your own weakness."

"I understand, Senior. I request extra training!"

"Overtime is humanity's greatest vice, Cosmo."

"Assistant, do you have any ideas?"

"You already have an idea, don't you?"

"Heh heh, you know me best, Assistant."

[Facing the deteriorating climate, Vill-V proposed her idea to the higher-ups—to use the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Wind to construct a satellite capable of restoring atmospheric circulation.]

[Faced with Vill-V's wild idea, the Flame Chasers' higher-ups agreed.]

[After all, the situation couldn't possibly get any worse.]

[Three months later, the satellite was successfully launched, and the deteriorating climate began to recover.]

[However, the three months of abnormal weather still caused immense losses to humanity.]

[Extreme weather led to reduced crop yields and rising sea levels.]

[To prepare for potential future Herrschers, Vill-V proposed the Divine Keys plan to the Flame Chasers' higher-ups—to use captured Herrscher Cores to create weapons.]

[The power of the Herrschers instilled fear in the Flame Chasers' higher-ups, and they agreed to Vill-V's plan.]

And so...

"Dr. Mobius, hand over the Herrscher Core quickly."

Seeing the arrogant Vill-V and the grim-faced Mobius, Yoshikage Kira rubbed his forehead.

Finally, with the mediation of Yoshikage Kira and Klein, the two reached an agreement—Vill-V took the Herrscher Core of Thunder, while Mobius would continue to research the corpses of the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Void.
