Theresa looked at everyone's curious gazes and hesitated for a moment. But when she saw that even Welt, the most suspicious among them, had chosen to believe Asta and Herta, she nodded.
"Actually, like Welt, I came from a distant world. I was forced to come here for certain reasons, and the Express Crew salvaged me from the universe."
Theresa said as she looked at the Express Crew.
"That's right, that's right! I was the same, except I was wrapped in Six Forms Ice, while she was wrapped in an air bubble."
March 7th shouted excitedly.
"So you and Mr. Welt are actually fellow countrymen. Was the cross you summoned earlier also a product from your homeland?"
Herta immediately asked curiously.
"Yes. Oath of Judah, the Eleventh Divine Key of the Previous Civilization era. It belonged to the lifeforms known as Herrschers, who wielded the ultimate laws governing physics."
"Oath of Judah was forged from the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Binding, along with Soul Steel."
"And I'm not trying to scare you, but every Herrscher was no weaker than that Doomsday Beast just now—provided that Herrscher knew how to use their Authority."
"The Herrscher of Reason could recreate and reconstruct all things. The Herrscher of Void could teleport, control space, and attack. The Herrscher of Thunder controlled magnetic fields and lightning. The Herrscher of Wind controlled all fluids. The Herrscher of Ice controlled molecular deceleration, creating low-temperature environments. The Herrscher of Death controlled the Authorities of creation and decay. The Herrscher of Flames controlled molecular acceleration, wielding ultimate destructive power and ultimate heat."
"The Herrscher of Rock controlled planetary gravity and could condense a Quasi-Black Hole to devour all things. The Herrscher of Sentience controlled consciousness, thought, and spirit. The Herrscher of Thousand could split into a thousand individuals, and could also undergo Imaginary renormalization and swarm into the singular Herrscher of Domination, possessing the power to assimilate other Authorities. The Herrscher of Binding could bind all energy, suppress all energy output, and absorb all energy. The Herrscher of Erosion was an ultimate virus capable of eroding any lifeform or machine."
"They were all no weaker than that Doomsday Beast. And beyond them was the strongest of all, the Herrscher of Finality, which gathered every Authority I mentioned before. It was the aggregate of all Herrschers—or rather, this was the most complete Herrscher, an ultimate existence capable of easily destroying human civilization, absolutely no weaker than an Emanator."
"If not for Finality's Cocoon restricting it, calling it an Aeon would not have been impossible. Every era, our civilization had to endure the baptism of something called Honkai."
Theresa's grave expression silenced the people of the Honkai: Star Rail universe as well. Compared to Theresa and Welt's world, the Antimatter Legion no longer seemed so terrifying, did it?
"This is just trying to grind civilization into dust! Uncle Yang, you and Theresa actually came from such a terrifying world!"
March 7th cried out in fear. Stelle, Himeko, and Dan Heng also fell silent.
"No, that wasn't all. It was said that above the Herrscher of Finality, there was a deity known as the Honkai Will. It could grant anyone the power to become a Herrscher, but the price was becoming Honkai's puppet."
Theresa explained as she looked at the utterly numb group.
"Moreover, beneath the Herrschers were beings known as Honkai Beasts. Starting with Assault-type Honkai Beasts with wingspans of three meters, there were also Knight-type, Ballista-type, Chariot-type, Temple-type, Emperor-type, and Judgement-type. The first five ranks were lower-class Honkai Beasts, while Emperor-type and Judgement-type were higher-class Honkai Beasts."
"The further up the ranks they went, the larger they became. It was said that in the previous era of our homeland, Chariot-type Honkai Beasts alone could reach fifty meters in length and thirty meters in width. The Honkai Beasts of our current era had all been weakened."
"Even so, Emperor-type Honkai Beasts were at least two or three hundred meters large. Weak Judgement-type Honkai Beasts were five hundred meters in size, while powerful ones could even reach a thousand meters. It was said that in ancient Shenzhou, a Judgement-type Honkai Beast named Chi You was born, devouring continents to sustain itself. He reached ten thousand meters in size, like a gigantic mountain peak."
Welt said to everyone with a bitter smile.
"Haha... your civilization really was tough."
Asta laughed awkwardly, breaking out in a cold sweat. She finally understood why Theresa and Welt were both so strong. If they had not been, they would have been gone long ago, right?
"Unbelievable. Your homeland actually survived such absurd Honkai. So, Theresa, your weapon was a Divine Key made from the core of the Herrscher of Binding, right? Could anyone use that weapon?"
Herta asked curiously. After all, everyone was curious. Who would not be tempted by such a powerful weapon?
"Ordinary people were not qualified even to test it. Oath of Judah chose its users. It weighed half a ton by itself, and only those with Honkai Energy adaptability could wield it. Destruction Energy was unique to our homeland and highly corrosive. Even the slightest leak could reduce ordinary people without resistance to Destruction Energy to ashes."
"Not to mention a Divine Key forged from a Herrscher Core. It was the most terrifying kind of armament. Ordinary people had absolutely no right to use it."
Theresa explained. Herta looked unwillingly at Oath of Judah; she was truly fascinated by it.
"I strongly advise you, Miss Herta, to stop wanting to study it. Once you begin researching objects from our world, be careful not to draw Its gaze here. You wouldn't want a Great Honkai outbreak across the entire galaxy, would you? Even the Interastral Peace Corporation would be unable to contain such a catastrophe!"
Welt warned Herta solemnly.
"That's right. Old Yang wasn't joking. Once you research creations related to Honkai, Honkai will descend here. Aside from our Express Crew, everything here will be reduced to ashes by an enormous eruption of Destruction Energy, and then individuals known as Herrschers will be born. And since there is no restriction from Finality's Cocoon here, the Herrschers' strength would likely be no weaker than Emanators!"
Theresa's words left Herta numb. She nodded unwillingly. There was no helping it—she was second from the bottom in the Genius Society, and she had always wanted to prove herself and improve her ranking.
But she truly did not dare gamble with the lives of an entire galaxy.
"Fine, fine. I really wouldn't dare make that gamble. I'm not crazy enough to bet the lives of an entire galaxy. Asta, from today onward, you should forget about this as well."
"Then I have a request. Screwllum, Ruan Mei, Stephan, and I created something together, but we had never found suitable test subjects. Now, I'm curious. What would happen if Stelle, as a Stellar Core vessel, and Theresa, who came from a Honkai world, participated in a Simulated Universe simulation? Would it attract an Aeon?"
Herta voiced her idea. The Stellaron Hunters could accept this proposal. As for Welt and Theresa, as long as Herta did not recklessly research Honkai, they had no objections.
