Authority Wasn't Fun at All!
The girl walked barefoot through the quiet campus. After strolling for a while, she gathered up her heavy, cumbersome hair and said:
"Hair is such a hassle, why is it so long?"
[When Honkai Energy reshapes your body, it naturally ages your physical age considerably, not just your hair.]
Satou Yunona squatted on the ground, watching the ants. Her purple eyes were intently focused on these tiny creatures, as if she were curious about them.
She asked softly:
"How old am I now?"
[Psychologically close to a human child, physically 18 years old.]
Upon hearing this, the girl shifted her attention from the ants to her own body, but after observing some of the more undulating parts for a short while, she lost interest.
She doesn't care about assessments of her psychological age at all; in essence, Satou Yunona is no different from a newborn baby.
From an outsider's perspective, the changes she has undergone are even more noticeable; her height has jumped from 164 cm to 173 cm.
Judging from the clear images of her without clothes, her leg proportions still maintain their original excellent proportions.
The other well-developed areas sink into the knees when squatting and bending over, creating alluring curves and a smooth, white appearance.
Satou Yunona stretched out her finger and blocked the path of an ant. She watched intently as the little ant tumbled on her fingernail, her brows furrowing slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, the girl gently put it back in its place, clearly feeling that playing with ants was a very tasteless act.
Then, Satou Yunona floated aimlessly in the air, and after a while, she swayed and sat on a branch of the banyan tree, her slender legs swinging back and forth.
Even though the girl had been behaving very obediently, she had already forgotten about the god's earlier instruction to familiarize herself with her own power.
The reason for this level of freedom is that, in order not to affect the purity of the soul, the current blank consciousness is essentially Satou Yunona having completely lost her memories.
Therefore, in Satou Yunona's subconscious, these abilities to control celestial phenomena and Celestial Phenomenon disasters at will did not seem very tempting.
This led to the current situation, after she used her powers once...
I find counting ants more fun than this.
Satou Yunona was subtly unhappy, as if subconsciously, suddenly getting older was something that made her unhappy.
So she asked angrily:
Why did I grow three years older?
[This phenomenon is not surprising given the need to quickly create a suitable body for an apostle.]
Upon hearing this, she pursed her lips, then immediately continued asking:
Where should I go?
Go anywhere, but don't leave this city for now.
The girl was somewhat puzzled:
"Why?"
Humans will kill you, so to avoid being killed, you must master your own power.
Satou Yunona looked up at the sky, feeling something was very strange.
Why would a stranger want to kill me for no reason?
Was it because she just ate the cake that someone else gave to her mother?
"So cakes are this expensive!" Satou Yunona suddenly realized.
Could we go buy one and return it to that girl?
She looked down at her smooth thighs and completely exposed skin, intending to find a banknote, but realized an important problem.
I accidentally destroyed the entire building. Forget about money, I didn't even have the most basic clothes on.
Satou Yunona felt she had found the answer to why she was being hunted down.
But she was a bit lazy and really didn't want to keep thinking of ways to make amends.
So, knowing full well the answer but feeling guilty, she asked:
Why did you want to kill me?
Because you are my apostle.
The girl was taken aback by the unexpected answer. She quietly licked the remaining cream from her lips, then relaxed and said confidently:
"Can't understand."
[It's okay, this is a good thing.]
"So, should I kill all of humanity?"
[Yes, you're going to destroy this civilization.]
Why destroy civilization?
[Because this is nature, destiny, and trial.]
Satou Yunona, barefoot, gazed at the White Tower in the distance and suddenly felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
A few seconds later, the girl was already perched on the tip of the White Tower.
She breathed in the air high above, her arches still maintaining the little habit she had when she was still human, her feet slightly bent as she stepped into the void, rising on her tiptoes.
"I'm not very good at walking, but I can fly." Satou Yunona said this in a completely calm tone, yet it inexplicably revealed a subtle hint of pride.
Did you understand?
The girl used her fingertips to cut off most of her purple hair, leaving only her buttocks.
I suppose she just didn't like the weight of her hair.
She pondered the words of the Honkai Consciousness for a moment, then stared absently at the stray hairs fluttering in the air.
The scene resembled large petals gently falling; it was quite beautiful.
But Satou Yunona immediately realized that she hadn't answered the god's question yet.
She fell into thought again and came to an answer:
"I don't understand."
The girl said matter-of-factly:
"My mentality is closer to that of a human infant; a human infant certainly wouldn't understand this kind of thing."
Destroying civilization is your destiny.
Satou Yunona, with a balancing gait, walked along the red roof of the library, tilted her head, and asked:
Is it inevitable?
You will eventually understand everything when you face reality, my apostle.
Human civilization will not accept you; they will sound the horn of war, exhausting all their potential and resources to eliminate this threat before you gain power.
A minute later, she lazily lay down on the lush green playground and dozed off for a while before remembering that she hadn't answered the god's question.
Satou Yunona thought for a moment and said:
"It sounds like mermaids and whaling ships."
[Why?]
The girl racked her brains for the little common sense and information she had left, trying her best to make her story as vivid as possible:
"It's just a metaphor that popped into my head, don't you think it's similar?"
"Think about it, mermaids must be very beautiful and rare creatures, but they are monsters."
She made a solemn vow:
"And in the story, monsters never have a good ending."
He said softly:
[As long as you don't relinquish your power, you won't die.]
[This is the promise I give you, my apostle.]
Satou Yunona did not respond; she loosely clenched her slender fingers into a fist.
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning blotted out the sky, and dense Honkai Energy swept across the heavens, annihilating the clouds and wisps of cloud above into nothingness.
A deafening roar filled the air, and the girl's clear voice was mingled with the chaotic noise, making it difficult to hear clearly.
"Is this power?"
This is appearance.
"That's amazing!"
[Of course, you only need to reach the other side of one stage.]
[At that time, death will be nothing more than a concept you no longer need to care about.]
Her pure purple eyes reflected the gray haze and flickering lightning as she whispered:
"But this power is so boring."
Thus, the power dissipated.
The thunder subsided, and the clamor began to fade away.
The wind was calm and the sea was still; the sky was cloudless.
[Once you destroy this civilization, it wouldn't be so bad to give you the rest of your powers as toys.]
Satou Yunona ignored him, turned over, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of her exposed chest.
Within the blank of one's personality, only common sense tells one that this is a situation that should be shameful, so emotionally, understanding that one is completely naked does not cause much of a stir.
However, this situation gave Satou Yunona a short-term, small goal.
She decided to slack off and do something serious before the divine mission came her way.
Although it's possible to create clothes using Honkai Energy, Satou Yunona always felt that doing it directly was rather boring.
The allure of shopping lies not in what you buy!
It was as if someone was earnestly reciting this already quite mature theory in her little head, so the girl suddenly became quite interested in it.
It's obvious that Satou Yunona's true nature is that of a lazy person who loves to eat, slack off, and go shopping.
Even the power of authority is hardly tempting to her now, but it is not the Honkai Consciousness's purpose to make the Herrscher crave authority.
He only needs to allow this blank personality to form its own thoughts and wisdom based on the Honkai side, and disturbing her original personality in this process is a bad move.
All you need to do is make her happy and cheerful.
The connection between the soul and the Herrscher Core will become deeper and deeper, and the power will naturally be refined to produce more usable output.
It might sound a bit unlike the behavior of an AI, but the Honkai Consciousness's current actions are no different from personally raising Herrscher as a daughter.
Even though it involves a mix of factors, it would still seem somewhat unbelievable to others if they knew about it.
As a result, even though He felt that going to the mall to get clothes to wear was a meaningless and boring thing.
Furthermore, Satou Yunona completely ignored her own advice to familiarize herself with her own power, but the Honkai Consciousness chose to let it run its course.
Because in the short term, the probability of human civilization focusing its attention on this area is extremely low.
Aside from the conspiracy behind those 3,726 beams of light, even this massive global Honkai was deliberately orchestrated by Him to create multiple nodes and corresponding frequency indicators of Honkai outbreaks.
Humanity's attention should now be focused on Changkong City, far to the east, one of the areas most severely affected by the Honkai outbreak.
Based on the information left to the current civilization from the past, their empiricism leads them to subconsciously focus their attention on the areas most severely Honkai.
The impact on Canghai City was merely to the extent that it was affected.
Even if a trace of power was leaked during the process of embedding the authority, causing the city's communications to be completely cut off and creating some loopholes that could lead to unexpected problems.
But the worst-case scenario is simply that it will be discovered sooner.
Unlike the ignorant Herrscher of the past, Satou Yunona is now powerful enough to deal with the clumsy technological attacks of humanity. All the long-range weapons they have developed will become useless under the power of authority.
But if a girl is willing, no amount of dense army can stop her from escaping.
The Herrscher of Thunder.
Even if the mysteries of power are difficult to unleash, the manifestation of appearances is enough to control lightning-fast speed.
Based on experience gained from previous Honkai wars, mastering even a rudimentary form of electromagnetic power would be the perfect nemesis of current civilizations.
The actual outcome of the war also indicated that no human being was capable of catching up with the Herrscher of Thunder.
Assuming a direct confrontation, Satou Yunona might be at a disadvantage right now.
However, if guerrilla warfare is waged and the entire world is involved, then the situation becomes entirely different.
Delaying the war between the Herrscher and humanity would buy both sides time, but the speed at which human civilization unleashes its potential cannot keep up with the speed at which Satou Yunona integrates her powers.
In this way, after a certain period of time, the scales of victory will tilt infinitely towards the Honkai side.
At that time, all schemes and strategies will be reduced to meaningless dust under the power of authority.
In order to achieve that goal, it is necessary to let Satou Yunona struggle with her choice between several pieces of underwear.
At this moment, inside the shopping mall closest to the academy.
The pretty girl stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room. Her back was clearly defined and slightly bony, but the buttons on her bra were fastened with great difficulty.
The mirror reflected a stunningly white, compressed look, the delicate skin almost mesmerizing.
Satou Yunona muttered in dissatisfaction:
"Why is it different from the size I remember?"
As she spoke, she slipped one finger through the bra clasp, pulled the index finger outward, and then naturally flipped her palm so that it faced outward, hooking it and continuing to pull outward.
Extend your thumb and index finger to form a figure eight, then gather your thumb and middle finger at the bra clasp, centering on your index finger. Then, pull your index finger out, and use your thumb and middle finger to snap your fingers.
The bra slipped off almost completely within seconds, with only the thin straps holding it in place, preventing the inappropriate scene from appearing in the mirror.
If the Honkai Consciousness hadn't incorporated these common-sense principles into this personality, given her character, she would probably have found it too troublesome and simply used Honkai Energy to mold suitable clothing.
To those unfamiliar with women's bra clasps, they are like a mysterious Rubik's Cube.
The Honkai Consciousness added again in a low voice:
Your previous biological age was 15, and now it is 18.
Satou Yunona ignored the B-cup bra and tossed it aside. She disregarded the obedient and docile Zombie and silently picked up the measuring tape from the store counter, awkwardly beginning to measure the specific changes.
The final results proved that if the girl had lived a normal life until the age of 18, her development would undoubtedly have been excellent.
But the girl didn't care about these trivial details. Subconsciously believing in the principle of doing things one by one in order, she began to wander around the stores of various brands, seriously considering which clothes looked better.
The female Zombie she encountered were all obedient, but the monsters who had become zombies were quite tactless and would disturb her pleasant journey.
But what angered and saddened the girl even more was that when she snapped her fingers to use her power to drive away these annoying monsters, she accidentally increased the force, and the entire mall was completely destroyed.
Everything in this world is too fragile and insignificant compared to the power she holds.
Even these objects that bring joy to a young girl can become dust in history with a single careless action.
Satou Yunona stood on the desolate land. In an instant, a burst of lightning completely melted away everything that could have been reduced to ruins, resulting in the scene before her.
She gazed at her slender, tender fingers and fell silent.
Powers and such...
It's not fun at all.
