Honkai Consciousness

Over there, Huang Hao headed towards the coordinates provided by Kevin. Knowing that a tough battle awaited him, he didn't use teleportation and ran there directly.

Huang Hao said silently, "This is an open scheme, but who is involved, I don't know. However, once I arrive, I will still win!"

Along the way, Huang Hao looked at the ruins beside him, feeling incredibly distressed, though he couldn't quite articulate why. He kept pushing away distracting thoughts and moved forward.

Soon, Huang Hao arrived at the coordinates and began observing his surroundings.

The area was filled with ruins and was incredibly chaotic, yet he saw no one.

Huang Hao: "Strange, Kevin wouldn't lie to me. But there's no Herrscher here, nor any people. What's the purpose of calling me here?"

As Huang Hao was thinking, the Rock Herrscher instantly appeared before him, startling him and causing him to stumble back a few steps.

Huang Hao: "What kind of power is this? Is this not the Void Herrscher?"

"Of course not, it's just pure power."

Hearing this, Huang Hao's eyes widened, and he looked at the Herrscher in astonishment: "Why do you have human consciousness?"

"Not him, it's me."

Suddenly, Huang Hao felt the world spin, and darkness gradually enveloped him, a stark contrast to the blankness he had experienced before.

Huang Hao quickly looked around: "Where is this? Who exactly are you!"

At that moment, laughter echoed from an unknown source, responding to Huang Hao: "Who I am is not important, what's important is, who are you?"

Huang Hao: "What do you mean? I am Huang Hao, I am myself."

The voice laughed louder again, and Huang Hao clearly recognized it as mockery.

Huang Hao said angrily, "Who are you, and what is your purpose in bringing me here!"

"I am the will of Honkai," said the voice from an unknown location. "You and I are made of the same substance."

"You're talking nonsense!" Huang Hao immediately retorted. "I'm not like you. I'm a living person, how could I be with you!"

Honkai: "If it were before, what you said might be true. But after coming out of that place, can you still guarantee it?"

Huang Hao froze: "You, how do you know that."

Honkai: "As I said, you and I are the same."

Huang Hao recalled that he was indeed a consciousness, born directly from the Imaginary Tree. That guy might actually be telling the truth.

Huang Hao: "Fine, I'll agree with your point of view, but so what?"

Honkai: "Join us."

"What?"

"Join us."

Huang Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, then became so angry he laughed: "What kind of joke is this? You want me to follow you to my death? I have things I need to protect, why should I follow you?"

Honkai: "Shh, let me finish. After accepting this power, you will be no less than Finality, perhaps even surpass her. At that point, you will have no worries and will experience unprecedented joy."

Huang Hao: "That's it? You want me to join you? Don't you know why I came here?"

Honkai: "Of course I know, but look at what you've done."

As soon as the voice finished, a screen appeared before Huang Hao's eyes, showing his past experiences.

Huang Hao punched the screen, but his fist passed right through it. He then turned and cursed at his surroundings: "How are you watching me!"

Honkai: "The moment you entered, we knew."

Huang Hao: "So what? You knew I had value, so you came to recruit me, right?"

Hearing Huang Hao's question, Honkai directly admitted: "Yes. From an ordinary person to an existence that surpasses Herrschers, this is enough to prove your power."

Huang Hao: "But I'm not the only one like that."

Honkai: "But, from the origin, you are the only one."

Huang Hao fell silent, and the will of Honkai began to play again.

"At first, you only wanted to save the people you knew, but later, you created Angela, and out of great kindness, you wished to save everyone. Thus, when we came for the 6th time, you saved everyone..."

Huang Hao interrupted with a heavy expression: "What are you trying to prove?"

Honkai: "Look at what you've protected."

The screen immediately switched to Himiko.

"This is a friend you knew before you came, but you personally killed him."

"I killed him, but I will definitely save him in the future."

"During that period, countless people died. Why didn't you care, or rather, why didn't you dare to care?"

"Shut up!" Huang Hao clutched his head and knelt on one knee. "If you mention this again, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

Honkai chuckled contemptuously: "With you? Or with the current you? Did I say something wrong? At that time, you only cared about your friends and regretted it later. Before coming here, didn't you experience all this?"

"You!"

"Hmph, look at what you've done." The will of Honkai interrupted Huang Hao and switched the screen to the present.

Honkai: "Look at everything you've done. Because you abused your power, we gained such immense strength to help us."

"If I'm not mistaken, your original goal was to save these people, wasn't it?"

Huang Hao immediately looked up: "What about them! What did you do to them!"

Honkai: "Heh, look for yourself."

Huang Hao looked at the screen. It showed the ruins where he had just been standing. He was currently sitting there, and next to him was a sea of red... people?

Huang Hao looked in disbelief. Blood covered the entire ruin, and under the pressure of gravity, not even a single complete corpse remained.

Huang Hao's eyes were vacant: "No, impossible! Them... I can save them later, right, I definitely can!"

Just as Huang Hao was trying to convince himself, the Honkai Will delivered a fatal blow: "Are you still lost in your beautiful fantasies? Still counting on a future that doesn't exist? Think carefully, what have you changed? The people you wanted to save, you killed them with your own hands. These dead people, all died because of you. Watch, we are about to destroy this continent now. What have you changed?"

Huang Hao clutched his head and knelt directly on the ground, muttering incessantly in his heart: "Impossible, impossible, impossible..."

Honkai: "Stop thinking about that. Join us, and you will become the person you want to be."

Gradually, the black space beside him began to swallow Huang Hao bit by bit, extending from his legs up his body.

Huang Hao was on the verge of collapse and didn't resist at all. However, when the black substance spread to his body, it stopped moving.

Honkai: "What's going on?"

"Don't even think about controlling my father!" Angela appeared beside him.

The Honkai consciousness was not surprised by Angela's appearance, as they were one and it was normal for them to be connected in their minds. However, what surprised it was that she could actually control the erosion.

Honkai Will: "Oh, how can you call it control? We are helping him."

"Besides, what can you do now? His consciousness is almost eroded."

"But, he is my father."
