Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

This is a flaw, this is a weakness, this is a stain that must be washed away.

Therefore, the third Herrscher must master the power of authority before human civilization is even aware of it.

Using this city as a testing ground, they unleashed this endless terrifying power to its fullest extent.

At that time, the body's instincts will naturally understand what power truly is.

The Herrscher core, which links to the imaginary space, serves as an infinite reservoir for Honkai energy, and the power to overturn the laws of the world is the natural and optimal formula for using Honkai energy.

The so-called Lawbringer only needs to do this simple thing to destroy all things.

In heaven and on earth, she is the most revered.

The nature of power is sufficient to move the entire world and restart civilization effortlessly.

However, the human being's own status is insufficient to wield such all-encompassing power, so even if they possess all the relevant knowledge and wisdom, their abilities themselves cannot translate it into real phenomena.

This is the core reason why the first two Herrschers suffered defeat.

The creation of the Lawyer is equivalent to embedding the power itself into the Lawyer core, thus indirectly materializing the power and forging it into an organ.

In this way, even if the human body and soul cannot bear the power within, the Herrscher can still use the power instinctively and manifest its great power.

Honkai consciousness can sublimate the physical body to an extreme affinity with Honkai energy and forge extraordinary physical abilities.

But matters concerning the soul are a different matter altogether.

He cannot completely distort a human's will, let alone elevate the soul—that is simply a pipe dream.

This leads to the fact that the essential element for becoming a Herrscher lies in the invisible and intangible soul.

That is why those who are chosen must have once possessed a pure and resilient soul.

That's why it's always so regrettable to see those humans who became Herrschers.

That's exactly what Sato Yuno is like now.

Clean, beautiful, pure white, and resilient.

Such a soul is like a tulip quietly blooming amidst thick snow, its pure white petals exuding a faint, mysterious fragrance.

The end result was that it attracted demons whose black wings blotted out the sky as they fell.

Even if a suitable target is found, the Honkai consciousness cannot completely do whatever it wants.

Because the more unique a soul is, the more likely it is to possess extraordinary willpower.

This gives us more reasons to be cautious when choosing a target.

Therefore, young girls become a good choice. Girls at this age are prone to sentimentality and are mostly inexperienced, making them the best targets to take advantage of.

The intelligent system called the Collapse Consciousness is devoid of humanity and emotions.

In order to completely crush Sato Yuno's will, He deliberately chose the most opportune moment, the most heartwarming scene, and the most beautiful instant to violently destroy everything.

And so, unsurprisingly, He succeeded.

Even if a human named Sato Yuno later did indeed possess a terrifying will to disregard His link after undergoing certain trials.

But now, she is still just a flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand such a direct uprooting torment.

Choosing to escape is the only option.

It's perfectly normal to find it unacceptable.

In that empty space where the girl was completely unprepared, utterly desperate and bewildered, her broken consciousness descended.

The soul is overwhelmed, the body is plundered.

Through a series of calculated schemes, Sato Yuno became the Third Herrscher that humanity had to kill.

He amplified the girl's original desire to avoid reality, causing her true consciousness to sink into the deepest ocean, where she dreamed sweet and delightful dreams.

As the brief passage of time passed, the organ connection and quality modification of the body were nearing completion, and the vortex of Honkai energy was swallowed up and exhausted by this slender body.

The broken consciousness created a blank personality, which was then filled with corresponding knowledge and past experiences.

Just as Su Qing'an was sending the group to the shelter, the third Herrscher named Sato Yuno appeared.

Thus, it was born perfectly.

……

……

The feeling of hatching is hard to describe.

Is it strange for an apostle of God to crave sunlight?

Her long eyelashes drooped and blinked, and her jewel-like eyes, gazing directly at the soft light, narrowed slightly, their purple hues filled with a cold indifference.

It was as if the violets, which had just withered, had been crushed into paint, and then the delicate fingertips, dipping into the remnants of the petals, had been smeared onto the white canvas, so vivid and possessing a deathly beauty.

The girl's long hair and eye color looked exceptionally harmonious at this moment, and she lay naked on the silk floor made of her hair, letting the sunlight shine into her eyes, looking somewhat languid.

She raised her five fingers and waved them at the ceiling with a nonchalant expression, looking charmingly naive.

Sato Yuno is unlike any of the previous Herrschers.

Even if you are schemed against in every way, your consciousness will sink into oblivion.

However, the personality created by her soul is still not a soft thing that can be completely driven mad and irrational by negative emotions.

But this is also the result that the Honkai consciousness needs.

He needs a rational and wise representative, not a beast that only squanders its power.

Therefore, the Honkai consciousness did not treat the Herrschers the same way as usual, proving that humanity is not an existence that can be easily crushed.

Therefore, it is like this unprecedented collapse that has erupted all over the world.

The Third Lawgiver must also be different from others.

She turned over and looked at the outside world from the side, her eyes filled with curiosity.

The cool skin and smooth wooden board, the delicate strands of hair intertwined to create a series of subtle tactile sensations and sounds.

Sato Yuno said softly:

"Do I need to destroy this place?"

It doesn't matter; the destruction or existence of a city is meaningless.

You only need to follow your current desires, my apostle. Go and do what you want to do.

"What do you want to do?"

"Yes, that way you won't lose anymore."

The girl's expression didn't change much; it was as if, along with the blankness of her personality, the areas of emotion had also been erased.

She thought for a moment after hearing this, then pointed in a direction and said earnestly:

"I want to eat the cake on the table, I think it's delicious."

If this is your inner desire, then follow it.

Sato Yuno stood up, tiptoed, and with a slight effort from her tender toes, she walked around the room with clumsy steps, bending her arches.

But soon, the girl realized that while this activity didn't feel tiring, it was also meaningless.

She subconsciously thought the ground was cold, but in reality, her senses told her otherwise.

What are you doing? Didn't you say you wanted to eat cake?

The girl glanced at the cake on the table and then looked away. She shook her head, which felt particularly heavy because her hair had grown longer. Her indifferent expression remained unchanged, but for no reason, she seemed to have a hint of grievance.

she says:

"I don't think I'm very good at walking."

"My common sense tells me that a person who can't even walk is stupid."

That's common sense. I'm giving you this information only so you can better understand your opponents, and not be bound by these things.

"Oh," she replied, sounding rather pleased.

Sato Yuno picked up the cake and carefully examined the intricate and beautiful knot. Her well-defined fingers threaded through the thin string and slowly untied the knot, causing the postcard tied to it to fall to the ground with a crisp thud.

The girl picked up a cake with her bare hands and stuffed it into her mouth while picking up a postcard and looking at the words on it.

The handwriting above is neat and rounded, and it's kind of cute.

Happy birthday, Mom.

The writer's handwriting was very gentle when he wrote these words, which contained a small but profound sentiment, like a rose buried in ice, which can evoke a cool fragrance at a glance.

Sato Yuno chewed on the soft, sweet cake in her mouth, her moist lips and palms covered in white cream.

She puffed out her cheeks and tilted her head, feeling as if she had done something that would be considered bad according to common sense.

Eating a cake that someone else gave to one's mother is something only a bad person would do.

But the gods said there was no need to be bound by human common sense, so the girl felt no guilt whatsoever. She ate the cake in a hurry but didn't feel particularly happy.

The distinct sweetness of the fruit and the fragrance of the cream, combined with the slightly cool taste, should have brought joy, yet tears welled up in the girl's shimmering purple eyes.

Sato Yuno's expression remained unchanged, her emotions unwavering, only her tears seemed to testify to something, falling like a broken string.

"Why are you crying?" she asked, puzzled.

Because this is your weakness.

"So, have I become stronger?"

You've become more unwavering.

"Can't understand."

It's okay, this is a good thing.

This was the first time the Honkai consciousness had so carefully guided a Herrscher who had just hatched.

He was like an extremely patient nanny, trying to erase Sato Yuno's obsession in the best way possible without affecting the apostle's rationality.

After eating the cake, the girl's hidden obsession, which had been lingering in the depths of her consciousness, dissipated, and she was completely immersed in a beautiful and warm dream.

In that dream, Sato Yuno finished her normal phone call with her parents, and later that night, she and her parents ate the cake that she had never given them while video chatting.
