The screen went dark.
The crowd, previously buzzing with discussion about the preceding content of the video, was now surprisingly speechless.
The willpower displayed by Kiana, as brilliant as a meteor, was simply too dazzling.
Even Einstein, Tesla, and Yang, who had experienced much, could not help but sigh in admiration at the determination displayed by Kiana in the video.
Seeing Kiana whose determination was strengthened by her own encouragement, Himeko felt a mixture of emotions.
She was happy that Kiana had saved so many people and defeated the Herrscher.
But the pain she had endured also made her heart ache for her.
For a moment, Himeko glanced at Kiana, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
As the protagonist of the video, Kiana was extremely calm.
The maturity brought by the Herrscher of the Void left her unmoved. She had already suffered the pain of the self in the image, having previously received the Herrscher of the Void's power and been baptized for the first time.
Looking at her future self in the image now, she could only say... well done.
If she could pick up this trinket and return to normal, she might even have that thought, "I'm so handsome!"
Hmm... thinking about it, it's impossible.
Her immature self might have thought that, but now, while still possessing some childishness she couldn't detect, she no longer harbored so many childish thoughts.
What to do, what should be done, what must be done.
The joy of success, the despair of failure.
Kiana had now entered the state of "This is... my mission."
Mei was having some small thoughts at the moment.
If she were wearing glasses, she certainly wouldn't have had any of these thoughts.
But without them, looking at the worry written across the face of herself in the video, and then thinking back to the moment before, when she could only helplessly cry out, "I can't do this!"
Her emotions were a bit complicated...
Whenever a special situation arises, the Q&A space at least takes something into account.
At times like these, Fu Hua took a break, no longer relying on luck to be attacked by the box.
It landed directly in front of Kiana. The Homu reward box remained motionless.
Kiana, calm and composed, opened the box.
Inside was a token-like object, with the word "Void" engraved on the front.
In terms of design alone, it was quite exquisite.
She raised her hand and unfolded the box.
Token Attributes
[Herrscher of the Void]
[A token imbued with the power of the Herrscher of the Void, helping the user improve their use and amplifying their strength.]
[Trial of the Void: A unique mind-refining illusion that helps the user grow.]
[Amplification of the Void: When the user carries this token while wielding the Herrscher of the Void's power, side effects decrease by 50%, control increases by 25%, and maximum output increases by 10%.]
[Note: While there's no price to pay, please use with caution.]
This thing...
Although it's not marked as limited, judging by its effects, it's clearly an exclusive item for Herrschers of the Void.
The mere fact that a user must possess the power of the Herrscher of the Void is a significant limitation.
But judging by the effects, it's certain... that's right.
Lately, Kiana had been pondering how to master the power of the Herrscher of the Void and battle the Herrscher's consciousness dormant within her.
However, for the former Kiana, untempered by reality and untouched by a series of growth experiences, she was completely lost about facing the ruthless Herrscher of the Void.
Although she had gained Herrscher of the Void status and witnessed a transformation through video, she hadn't experienced it. Without firsthand experience, even if she resembled it, she wouldn't be as utterly defeated as herself.
Under these circumstances, she was practically helpless against the Herrscher of the Void.
This item possessed a mind-refining illusion that perfectly complemented what Kiana lacked.
She understood the importance of this token, even now, Kiana had matured. Kianas' eyes shone with unconcealed joy.
And this second attribute, the Void Amplification...
Just looking at the enhanced effects...
First, the side effects -50%.
While this item wasn't a divine weapon for Kiana, who currently used the Herrscher of the Void through the Herrscher of the Void form and had to bear the erosion damage, it would allow her to use the power of the Void more easily.
The control +25% wasn't as high as the previous one, but for a newbie like Kiana, it was a significant increase. She didn't possess the full power of the Herrscher of the Void; she only had a portion, so she had to use every bit of it carefully, otherwise it was essentially wasted.
Then there's the maximum output +10%.
Wow!
Looking at these attributes, he roughly guessed...
Understanding what this meant, Welt could only say that even he, who is a genuine Herrscher, was a bit envious.
This attribute was divine even for a true Herrscher... oh no, or perhaps it was divine only for a true Herrscher.
You have to understand that the hallmarks of a Herrscher are their immense power and Honkai energy.
The latter is simpler; the Herrscher Core is naturally connected to the Imaginary space, and Honkai energy is inexhaustible.
As for the former... every Herrscher possesses immense power.
For Herrschers like the Third and Ninth who control the four fundamental forces of physics, if they truly wanted to destroy humanity, they could simply manipulate the planet beneath their feet.
However, a Herrscher has an output limit. While their energy is unlimited, they can only release so much at once.
Even the demon-like Herrschers of the previous era... the most difficult Herrscher, the Ninth Herrscher, could only sink a continent, not flip an entire planet.
The most typical Herrscher of Reason, known for being able to create anything as long as they understood it, could literally create a whole planet if they weren't limited by this.
And for Kiana, it seems, the item could actually increase the Herrscher's output limit...
But items are still items, and they also have significant drawbacks.
While the output limit is something every Herrscher desires, giving it to the Herrscher of the Void is honestly a bit of a waste.
As the quintessential rogue Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void's tactics are hit-and-run, and her ultimate simply opens a large hole in Imaginary space.
Capping the Herrscher of the Void's power... perhaps by allowing moves like Imaginary Descent to open even more holes? Or create more Imaginary creations.
Haha, this is completely useless.
But there's really no point in overthinking it. For Kiana who hasn't even touched the Herrscher's power yet, the token's reduced side effects, increased control, and the ability to refine the mind—just for these three effects, it's already a divine weapon for her.
As for maximum output...
Kiana struggles to maximize her current powers, so what's with all the talk of maximum output? Dream on!
