Russell, seated right beside Seele, found himself momentarily at a loss for what expression to wear.
But then again...
Favorability Transplant was a skill he apparently had never used before.
Russell tapped his Black Crown, considering whether he could pull it off.
—With everyone around him's values skyrocketing, the crown had been struggling more and more lately. Whenever he activated shared local empathy during the Wallbreaker Conference at night, it practically looked ready to start smoking.
But if it was only directed at a single Herrscher, perhaps it could still barely work?
Russell seriously considered the feasibility of Emotion Transplant.
Anything long-term seemed rather difficult.
If he truly could manipulate the emotions of monsters on a Herrscher's level at will, then his crown would not seem ready to smoke just from hosting a party at night.
Considering that he still needed to devote a large amount of processing power to capturing the Dominance—the Thousand Herrschers—and that he also used quite a bit of processing power at night, even if he pumped more Honkai energy and magic into it as enhancement modules, it would probably only last a week.
If the other side resisted more fiercely, it might last even less time.
Then he saw Seele walking toward Susanna and saying,
"He's dangerous... terrifying."
"Sometimes, not drawing his attention isn't a bad thing."
The girl had clearly already come to see Russell as a great demon as she spoke to Susanna.
"Hey, hey, hey, Susanna's that bastard's brainless fan. There's no use telling her anything."
Black Seele immediately panicked.
She seemed to have spoken with Susanna before, otherwise she would not have known her name. But judging from how things looked, that previous conversation had not been pleasant.
"If I can warn even one person, it's worth it."
Seele spoke earnestly
