Unlike coming into contact with ordinary weapons, after touching the Oath of Judah, many images appeared in Kirataka's eyes.
He soon realized that these were memories of its "previous life," that is, its experiences when it was still active as the Herrscher of Binding.
The Eleventh Herrscher of the previous civilization, an existence named "Binding" possesses a power that goes against common sense like a paradox.
——The first ten Herrschers before this all relied on the power of Honkai Energy to destroy humanity and civilization, and they also used Honkai Energy in various ways.
Similarly, in order to counter the increasingly powerful destructive power of the Herrschers, the human Fire Moths, through the efforts of Dr. Mei and Mobius, developed a super-transformation surgery, which allowed the birth of a fusion warrior that combined the power of the Honkai beast.
But the Herrscher of Binding is a kind of "anti-Honkai energy" being. She can deploy a barrier with a radius of one hundred kilometers, making all the Honkai energy within the barrier except her own completely ineffective. At the same time, she can also suppress other forms of energy to a certain extent.
Even a fusion warrior with an abnormal body cannot survive for long after entering the barrier, and electronic equipment other than soldiers cannot function normally in the barrier.
This battle was also the most brutal war in the history of the Fire Moth and even the previous civilization against the Honkai. Although the Ninth Herrscher's last blow led to the disappearance of Mu Continent, the most important technological research and development center of mankind, the main combat power of the Fire Moth was at least retained.
But in the process of fighting against the Herrscher of Binding, more than 99% of the fusion warriors died in this battle.
It was after this battle that only the last thirteen fusion warriors were left in the entire Fire Moth. The process of humanity's fight against the Honkai went from prosperity to decline and fell step by step into the abyss.
——The above is the information Kirataka had previously learned about the Herrscher of Binding.
As for the details of the tragedy, he actually didn't know much.
After all, in the game before, all the details about this battle were basically scattered in various dialogues in [Elysian Realm]. Although he had some general understanding of the plot, he was not as deep as a "Honkai nerd" to dig into various details.
At most, he only know that it was Kevin who defeated the Herrscher of Binding himself and ended the tragedy.
But now, he did see the details of the battle, and he saw it very clearly.
Well... it's just from the perspective of the Herrscher herself.
......
A white-haired girl was walking in the city, moving forward slowly.
Around her, all the creatures that could be called alive have lost their breath, and the occasional ones that still have a breath left are rapidly dying.
She had no emotions, she was just moving in a certain direction.
That direction is where the Fire Moth's base is located.
Her mission is to destroy it, to destroy this organization established by humans to fight against Honkai.
Her operation went very smoothly. After all, the barrier with a radius of one hundred kilometers was enough for the Fire Moths to include their base before they noticed her presence.
The girl didn't need to do it herself, nor did she need to see it. Simply moving forward was enough to exterminate all living things.
However, this silence did not last long. For the first time, a human figure capable of normal activities appeared in her field of vision.
No, is that really a human being...?
It was a man with flames burning all over his body and a mask on his face.
He was gradually approaching her, but unfortunately, the closer he was to her, the stronger the effect of [Binding] would become.
The flames on the unknown man were dying out, and it was obvious that he had no way of reaching himself.
The Herrscher of Binding quietly watched as the fire demon, who seemed to come from hell, fell to his knees because he could no longer hold on. It looked like he was about to faint.
"...!"
However, the next second, he stood up again.
Relying on her abnormal sensitivity to energy, the girl realized that he did not stand up by his own will.
There are other people who are forcing the other person's body to fight through mental control.
——The restraining barrier she created certainly has a high degree of resistance to mental perception abilities, but that is limited to herself.
If other creatures within the barrier are controlled by mental manipulation, the barrier's inhibitory effect will not be as good, which makes remote control feasible.
However, it doesn't matter. As long as he gets closer step by step, within a close enough range, he will still be completely restrained by the power of [Binding].
The girl continued to move forward slowly, heading towards the fire demon whose face could not be seen clearly.
But at the same time, more and more fusion warriors appeared within the girl's field of vision.
Although slowly, they are indeed approaching.
'...Do they want to rely on numbers to defeat me?'
Unfortunately, she is not someone who can be defeated simply by relying on numbers.
No matter how many there are, there is no way to reduce the suppressive efficiency of the restraining barrier.
These later humans did not have masks on their faces, so the girl could clearly see their painful expressions.
The feeling of being slowly killed by the power of [Binding] is far more painful than being killed instantly by fire, ice, or strong wind.
The feeling of powerlessness of watching themselves gradually lose control of their bodies and feeling their vitality gradually slipping away can destroy both their bodies and minds.
The fire demon with flames all over his body was already close at hand. He swung out his flaming fist, trying to attack her.
But this, too, was of little use to her.
Although her main strength is to deploy this barrier with an exaggeratedly large radius, and she herself does not have that much combat power, she can greatly reduce the level of all enemies through the suppressing power of the barrier.
Perhaps this fire demon is an elite warrior of the Fire Moth, but now standing in the barrier, he can probably only exert the same combat effectiveness as an ordinary soldier.
The Herrscher of Binding grappled with him and easily gained the upper hand, suppressing his movements.
During this time, some other humans tried to attack her in various ways, but to little avail.
After punching the man in front of her, the Herrscher of Binding felt a slight palpitation in her heart.
It was a sense of crisis as if a terrible attack was about to happen.
The girl was very confident in the performance of her barrier, but to be cautious, she still looked around for suspicious enemies.
Soon, she saw a gray-haired girl.
She was wearing the same tight combat suit as most of the previous fusion warriors from the Fire Moth, but the difference was that a crimson feather was floating in the girl's hand.
A feather that is burning vigorously.
But unlike the flames on the body of the fire demon in front of her who had been knocked to the ground by her, the feathers in the girl's hand had no temperature.
It seems that what it is burning is not material, but some spiritual fire.
Soon, a flaming bird like a phoenix took off into the sky and flew towards the gray-haired girl from where she was.
The girl raised her hands confidently, trying to suppress the attack with the power of restraint.
This move has always been very effective. No matter whether it is fire, ice, or electromagnetic attack, all forms of energy attacks find it difficult to reach her side. Even if they can touch her, the damage they can cause is quite limited.
But this time, although the firebird was restrained by the barrier, its decline was much slower than the previous attacks of others.
The girl soon realized one thing:
——This is a mental attack!
By the time she realized this, it was too late for the Herrscher of Binding to mount any other defenses.
The firebird engulfed her body. The spiritual attack failed to burn her, but her steps did come to a halt.
Because of this blow, her spirit was temporarily in a state of paralysis.
And this was exactly what the gray-haired girl intended.
The opportunity to kill the Herrscher of Binding is fleeting and now is the best opportunity.
——Kalpas and other fusion warriors fought against each other head-on, creating an opportunity for her to drive Fenghuang Down's first-rated power.
Up to this point, everything has been going very smoothly.
The strong mental attack did indeed bring the Herrscher of Binding to a standstill, but it was obvious that the mental attack alone was far from enough to kill her.
To completely destroy it, we must rely on the most powerful warrior of the Fire Moth—
The gray-haired girl raised her head and looked up at the sky.
The man named Kevin was preparing his strongest attack from a height that was beyond the reach of human eyes.
This was a hastily drawn-up plan due to the attack of the Herrscher of Binding, where all the fusion warriors entered the barrier together to attract the attention of the Herrscher of Binding.
Whether it was those fusion warriors who were nearly dead, Kalpas, or himself, they were not the main attackers.
Their mission was only to delay the pace of the Herrscher of Binding so that her position could be fixed.
The real main attacker will drop from the sky and deliver a precise vertical strike.
Like a meteor falling to the ground, the man descended from the sky holding the Judgment of Shamash, and the Heavenly Fire was unsheathed once again.
When the Herrscher of Binding regained consciousness, she could already feel the temperature that seemed to be able to burn a person to death.
——This temperature is much more terrifying than that of the previous fire demon.
The girl had no doubt that an attack of this level could take her life, but at the same time, everyone present would probably die.
If an attack of this intensity were to land, all humans nearby would be killed.
So, in a way, she is still the winner.
The flames carrying deadly high temperatures slashed into her body, and even the restraining barrier could not completely suppress the high temperature.
In just a moment, her life was completely taken away.
Before the girl's consciousness completely dissipated, she only saw ice, completely different from the fire that took her life, spreading out and freezing everything around it.
All the blood that had been shed on this land was frozen in mid-air in the same shape as it had just flown out.
Originally, ice should be colorless and transparent, but the solid ice covering the land is bright red at this moment.
......
'Is this the past of the Herrscher of Binding?'
'If I touch the Divine Key, I will passively learn about its past due to the power of projection magic?'
A large amount of information came in all at once, and Kirataka had to take some time to digest it.
"Kirataka, what's wrong with you?"
Kiana, who was standing by, watched him fall into a daze for a moment after touching the Oath of Judah. She curiously stretched out a jade finger and poked his head, bringing his consciousness back to reality.
"... it's nothing."
Kirataka shook his head.
After these memories completely flooded into his mind, he vaguely realized that he was now able to initially project part of the weapons of Judah's Oath.
In a sense, he also recognized the origin of the Herrscher of Binding and gained a deep understanding of it.
"Then let's go back together and let Mei make some delicious midnight snacks tonight!"
Kiana suggested.
"You really never full...Okay, let's go back together."
Kirataka said somewhat helplessly.
'I have to say, Kiana's appetite is really exaggerated.'
'I don't know whose genes produced this effect. Neither Durandal nor Sirin the Herrscher have such characteristics, right...?'
'Or is it a habit acquired from the experience of wandering?'
He glanced at Kiana's waist, which could definitely be described as "slender." He wondered where it all went after eating so much food all day long...
"Yeah, I heard it. Then Principal should also go and join in the fun!"
Theresa, who was standing nearby, also came over.
She praised Mei's cooking skills.
Even Theresa, who has been taken care of by Otto since she was born, has only met Rita, whose cooking skills can be compared with Mei's over the years.
At this moment, an emergency message suddenly popped up next to Theresa.
On the virtual screen, the words "OTTO SOUND ONLY" were written.
Then, the man's voice that Kirataka was very familiar with came out:
"My dear granddaughter, when you weren't paying attention, a little bug had sneaked into your school."
"Grandpa...Grandpa?"
Theresa was a little surprised at first, but soon, other communications were connected to her terminal.
"Reporting to the principal, the central database and Mei's dormitory have been invaded and attacked at the same time!"
