Herrscher are powerful entities within the Honkai Impact universe that manipulate the laws of physics and reality. Each Herrscher has a "Herrscher Core" which grants them a unique set of abilities, or "Authority".
If he recalls correctly, there were a total of 14 Herrscher in the original work and his childhood friend, Kiana Kaslana was one of them. After replacing Sirin, she became the new Herrscher of the Void. But towards the end of the story, she manages to change form into the strongest Herrscher— the Herrscher of Finality.
In that form, she can control time and manipulate Honkai absolutely, which is tantamount to ending civilization.
As for the Herrscher of Genesis?
That wasn't on the list!
Or rather, Eiji didn't remember there being such a Herrscher.
"Did I only forget?"
[This time, you didn't forget.]
That's a bit harsh.
You say as if your host often forgets, Miss System.
[Isn't that right? Forget it, just check the reward description before commenting.]
She was too lazy to argue with her host.
Eiji did what Miss System said. By the way, he was still lying on the bed while hugging Latifah and Isuzu.
After exercising all night, they were now passed out— I mean falling asleep from exhaustion.
Latifah: "....."
Isuzu: "....."
With white skin that seemed to glisten under the sunlight coming in from the window, many love marks on their bodies including pikk-colored Master-Servant tattoos, disheveled hair, their two bottom holes that were gaping and dripping a lot of white liquid.
When Eiji's perverted hands were squeezing their asses, they didn't even wake up to it.
Wasn't it obvious?
The two women were unconscious and their consciousness was fleeing from the insatiable beast.
Eiji stroked his non-existent beard.
"I see. So, this is the reward you made especially for me, Miss System? Your love for me is so heavy, I will gladly marry you."
He was excited.
How could he not be?
The Herrscher of Genesis was a new Herrscher that did not exist in the original work. And its abilities were not inferior to the Herrscher of Finality.
"Kiana will surely be surprised to know I am now a Herrscher like her."
He could imagine how her expression would be.
But that was for the future. Now Eiji continued to read the reward description which was quite long.
Herrscher of Genesis has absolute control over biological processes, causality on a micro level, and the potential growth or shrinkage of everything living. They can accelerate or retard development.
That's somewhat similar to what one of his abilities, Biochemical Catalyst, can do. But a much more powerful version of course.
And there are still specific details about the abilities that Herrscher of Genesis has.
First, Biological Manipulation.
This primary ability focuses on organic life.
Accelerated Evolution: He can touch or target living creatures within his range and force rapid evolution, turning plants into monsters, or bestowing powerful mutations on his allies in an instant.
Atrophy/Degeneration: Conversely, he can also rewind biological processes, turning powerful warriors into helpless infants, or decaying large trees into withered seedlings.
Second, Micro-Causality Control.
This authority extends to the concept of cause and effect underlying existence.
Seed of Possibility: he can "plant" the seed of causality. For example, he can ensure that certain actions will definitely cause certain results, no matter the obstacles (such as a small projectile that will definitely hit the target's weak point).
Negation of Origin: A very powerful ability where he can deny the "cause" of an event that just happened-for example, denying the action of firing a bullet, making it vanish as if it was never fired.
This is similar to Gold Experience Requiem's ability, but with a wider range and not just focused on the user.
Finally, Primitive Creation.
Uses Honkai's energy to speed up natural processes. Now that he has the Herrscher Core, he has Honkai energy in almost comparable amounts to the other types of energies he has.
Golem Genesis: Able to force basic materials such as earth and water to coalesce and "evolve" into primitive life forms or golems that serve him.
Rewind Ecosystem: Can quickly restore destroyed areas to their previous ecological state that was lush and full of life, growing forests or coral reefs instantly.
Basically makes him like the God of Life.
It could end eras, but it could also restart eras for as long as he wanted.
Eiji blinked his eyes.
"The reward this time is amazing. Miss System, you—"
[Stop, I already know the things you might want to say. You don't need to say them.]
"Yare-yare." He shook his head and suddenly wanted to try something. His gaze was fixed on Latifah whose physical age did not match her actual age.
Last night, she often looked at Isuzu's figure with envy and seemed to want to grow up quickly.
Then...
Eiji used one of Herrscher of Genesis' abilities, Accelerated Evolution. At a speed visible to the eye, Latifah's body enlarged.
Her height almost matched Isuzu's, her somewhat childish facial features disappeared and now looked mature. Of course, she looked even more beautiful, like a sleeping fairy tale queen.
And most attractive to the men— Ahem! Latifah's breasts and ass have become bigger, no less than an Isuzu.
Her body shape looks glamorous, especially combined with her long wavy blonde hair.
[Gosh... Is this really Latifah after her twenties? She now looks like a heroine named Aria from a manga called Isekai NTR!]
[My brother, calm down. You've eaten a lot recently, don't get hungry again... My morality prevents me from eating an unconscious woman.]
The other heroines out there were not surprised by how perverted Eiji was. They were now just curious as to what Latifah looked like this time?
How beautiful and sexy was Aria from the unusually titled manga.
As if knowing what they were thinking, the group chat (Miss System) suddenly sent out a picture.
[Utaha: Hiss! No wonder Eiji was horny again. Latifah-chan has turned into Latifah-oneesama!]
[Eriri: Inspiration! My inspiration is coming! Hold on, I'm drawing.]
[Megumi: This figure... It's almost comparable to Rias.]
[Yukino: Yes, her plumpness level is the same as Rias.]
[Yuigahama: That very slim waist makes me a little envious.]
[Sona: Rias' body is still more perverted.]
[Akeno: Ara Ara. That's right.]
[Rias: All of you, did you think I would never get angry?]
The women continued to make her an example in this kind of thing.
Some of the group chat members giggled.
Still, the many message notifications woke Latifah and Isuzu up. The former was the most surprised as she saw a picture of someone who looked familiar.
From the conversations of the other women in the group chat, it seemed to be her.
But how could it be?
She opened her eyes only to see that her husband was no longer in the room.
"Huh? Where's Eiji-sama?"
"L-Latifah, is it really you?"
Isuzu was also awake, she was calling her princess like a friend after going through a crazy night together.
But put that aside.
She stammered in surprise at the sight of a beautiful mature woman sitting naked beside her.
"Isuzu, it's me." Latifah said in confusion, she then looked down to see herself and was shocked.
Her chest had gotten bigger!
"You should look in the mirror."
Hearing what Isuzu said, she immediately walked towards the mirror on the bed and widened her eyes.
"This is... Me?"
Latifah was excited, she had somehow gotten bigger than last night!
Looking at her now, she couldn't resist doing some sexy poses.
Isuzu blushed just by looking at her. However, her gaze soon fell on a note on the bed.
She read it and said, "It was done by Eiji, he used his ability to speed up your growth process, Latifah."
Latifah turned her head and exclaimed, "My husband is amazing! So, where is he now? I should thank him again and maybe give him a few more rounds if he wants them. Hehe."
Her Princess became a perverted woman.
But after what Eiji had done to her last night, it seemed natural.
Isuzu continued reading, "He left and said you can thank him next time. Oh, he also offered us to move into his house."
While the two women were talking while naked.
On the other side, Eiji had not actually left Amagi Brilliant Park.
He was now near the gate where the ambulance car was parked and the protagonist Kanie was carried into it by several officers.
The mascots like Macaron and the others were a little sad for him. From what they heard from Eiji, Kanie was found unconscious in front of Latifah's bedroom door this morning.
He was now in a coma.
I don't know what happened to him that he seems to have gone into a severe shock. But the fairies, especially the silver-haired fairy with large breasts, Sylphy had a guess.
"Eiji-sama, last night... Did you have fun with Latifah-sama and Isuzu?"
Feeling a whisper in his ear, Eiji pretended to cough and glanced at the woman beside him. "You are?"
She almost clung to him.
"Ah sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm one of the fairies working in this park, Sylphy."
"Sylphy? What a beautiful name."
Instead of refuting or answering her question, Eiji complimented her.
He did it to change the topic.
[And woo her.]
"....." Eiji.
"Oh my, thank you for the compliment, Eiji-sama." Sylphy blushed, and intentionally or not, her movement made her dress almost slip off.
From his vantage point, Eiji could see the cleavage of her breasts.
She did not seem as innocent as her face which looked rather childish. Unfortunately, he was a good student and had to go to school soon.
So after having a short conversation with Sylphy and even the other fairies—
"Well, I have to go to the parking lot to get my car and go somewhere else."
"Eiji-sama, let me take you!"
He wanted to refuse, but Sylphy had already hugged one of his arms.
It was rude to refuse someone's kindness, especially a beautiful woman.
Eiji did not refuse of course.
Salama, Kobory and Muse stared at the figures of the two people who were getting farther and farther towards the parking lot with strange expressions.
"They won't do anything in the parking lot, right?" Salama asked.
Kobory had a blank expression on her face and clucked her tongue, "Tsk! Sylphy is cheating."
"You two are thinking too much. Sylphy is clearly just going to drive Eiji-sama to the parking lot."
Muse shook her head.
For an elf who yesterday said she wanted to be Eiji's concubine.
She was still too naive.
Salama and Kobory were staring at her with flat stares.
As for Kanie? None of them were talking about him.
The protagonist was pitiful.
Before he was taken away by the ambulance, Eiji had also actually done something to him.
He had tested Accelerated Evolution on Latifah. So, he did the opposite to Kanie. With Degeneration, he reduced the size of his sword back to the size it was when he was a baby.
Cough, cough! A perfectionist like Kanie would probably faint again after he woke up and went to the toilet.
[Host, you're so evil.]
Eiji pretended to be deaf. In the car, he was holding Sylphy's head between his crotch.
What are they doing?
It was obvious.
Because of seeing Latifah's adult figure before leaving the bedroom this morning, there was still a bit of evil fire in his heart and Sylphy happened to notice it from the bulge in his pants.
The elf was kind enough to give him a favor. That was why right now, she was licking his penis with beginner-like movements.
Eiji was guiding her and she was quickly learning.
As the King of Maple Land, it was probably natural for him to receive this kind of service from one of his subjects.
...
But just like that, they did not make the final move.
Eiji was in no hurry to eat Sylphy and the other fairies because he had other more important things to do.
He wasn't the kind of guy who only thought with his lower body, okay?
[Host, please don't say that.]
"Why?"
[No one believes it.]
"....."
Miss System must be kidding.
He's not that bad. For example, right now, it was during the lunch break where Lala and his other women were eating their lunches.
He did not join them and ate lunch with his friend.
"Eiji, why are you eating here?" Hachiman asked sadly.
Just now Eiji brought their table together.
"Hachiman, isn't it natural for friends to eat together? After all, you almost always eat lunch alone. So, I'll gladly accompany you."
Eiji shamelessly said that and opened his lunch box containing Grayfia's sandwiches.
"You... What about you, why are you eating here too?" Hachiman knew Eiji was very shameless. Instead of continuing to argue with him, he turned his dead fish gaze to the fat boy, Zaimokuza.
He turned his chair around and placed his lunchbox on his table.
"Hahaha! Hachiman, we're partners. And seeing as the Legendary Silver Knight is also eating with you, I certainly don't want to miss out."
Zaimokuza spoke words that sounded Chuuni as usual.
He was in a good mood after his request to the Service Club was successfully completed.
His novel had finished revision and passed the selection at the publishing company. Now, the novel was still in the printing process and would be released next week.
Of course, he had thanked the Service Club members including Eiji who came late to class today.
{Eiji, this is your fault! If it wasn't for you, Zaimokuza would be eating lunch outside of class as usual.}
Eiji ignored Hachiman's complaints and threw out a random topic with his gaze fixed on the torn bread that Zaimokuza was eating.
"Hachiman. What do you think is the best way to eat torn bread?"
"What kind of question is this? Can we eat lunch in peace?" Hachiman was reluctant to answer.
But Zaimokuza laughed and said, "Dead fish-eye knight, I'm also curious and wondering if the way I'm eating this bread is wrong? Enlighten me!"
{Just ask someone else! Damn...}
Hachiman sighed, "Unwrap it, then eat."
The heroines in the class:
They eavesdropped on the three boys' conversation and thought the protagonist's answer wasn't completely wrong.
However, Eiji shook his head with a disappointed expression. "You have no eating aesthetics at all. I mean, do we have to tear off each piece individually, or just take a bite out of the whole loaf?"
"As expected of a Legendary Silver Knight! You pay attention to such details."
Zaimokuza praised him.
Hachiman was expressionless, hardly any fluctuation in his dead fish eyes. He focused on his bento and replied in a dull tone. "Depends on individual taste, I guess. There are no fixed rules about bread."
"Dead fish eye knight, you're boring."
{This conversation is more boring! And Zaimokuza, I don't want to hear that from a Chuuni boy like you.}
He complained again in his heart.
Some of the heroines giggled.
[I knew it. Hachiman is talented at being a comedian or a sane character in a comedy.]
"Pfft!" Yuigahama laughed because of what Eiji said.
Yumiko reprimanded her, "Yui, don't laugh while eating or you'll choke."
"Ah, yes... I'll try it."
Yuigahama could not promise.
Back to the three boys at the back of the class.
"You're dead wrong, Hachiman. It's a matter of philosophy. If you tear it off one by one, you honor each tear as a whole entity of bread. There is a process, there is a pause."
Eiji said that, but he ate Grayfia's homemade sandwich which was basically bread in the usual way.
He just took a bite without bothering to tear it like he said.
Hachiman picked up the fried shrimp made by his younger sister Komachi with chopsticks and chewed on it before saying, "Sounds boring."
{You yourself don't do what you say, Eiji. Forget me, only a boy like Zaimokuza would do such a thing after hearing your bread philosophy.}
Right now, Zaimokuza was literally tearing the bread in his hand one by one and eating it.
"But if you bite off the big lump right away, it shows dominance. You claim the bread completely, without compromise. It's about power, Hachiman."
{Say that while looking in the mirror, Eiji.}
[You are not a considerate man, Hachiman. This is why in the original work, you were dumped by Yukino. In this life, it's fortunate that Yukino has a very considerate man like me to be her fiancé.]
The heroines: You two really aren't communicating mentally, are you?
Yukino was stunned, she ignored Eiji's narcissism.
Did I really ever date Hachiman in the original work?
That's impossible!
And yes, with Hachiman's personality, she probably would have given it to another girl like Yuigahama.
What Yukino didn't know.
That's what happened in the original work.
"Gosh, it's just torn bread bought at a convenience store. It's cheap too."
Hachiman finished eating all the fried shrimp and looked straight at the torn bread in Zaimokuza's hand.
Because he foolishly trusted Eiji, he still hadn't finished eating his bread until the lunch break was almost over.
...
Meanwhile.
There was a time difference between the two universes.
Teyvat, more precisely in the deepest area of The Chasm that was illuminated by the dim light of crystals attached to every corner of the room.
It had not been a day since Lumine had met Eiji.
On an ancient-looking stone platform, she stepped forward and was holding her sword tightly.
Paimon, hovered beside her and shouted at the blonde man in all-black clothes in front of them.
"This is a dead end, Dainsleif! Stop running and quickly inform Lumine of her brother's whereabouts!"
Hearing this, the man named Dainsleif did not turn around. He continued to stand with his back to the two people behind him while looking at the mist of Abyss energy churning below.
"Dainsleif."
Only when Lumine called out to him did he open his mouth.
"You're finally here, Lumine. Your determination is as strong as the crystals around us. But in these depths, determination alone is not enough."
Dainsleif spoke mysteriously as always.
Paimon frowned and Lumine fell silent.
On Earth, a person like Dainsleif would have been labeled the same as Zaimokuza. He was like a teenager suffering from eighth grade syndrome.
"I don't care how deep or how dark this place is. I just want answers. You said you knew Khaenri'ah's destiny. You said you met him."
Lumine was talking about her older brother.
Dainsleif finally turned to face Lumine. His face was calm, but his eyes radiated sadness.
"I've seen many things that should have remained hidden. And yes, I met your brother. He was part of the destiny I chose to leave behind."
[Heh, this guy really knows how to say things like that and likes to pretend to be mysterious too much.]
Lumine nodded in her heart.
Dainsleif likes to be mysterious too much. Instead of being cool, he's annoying.
Wait, this voice...!
"...?" Lumine had a question mark on top of her head. She then looked around as if looking for someone.
Eiji's inner voice sounded again in her mind.
She thought he was here. However, she did not see him at all.
Dainsleif misunderstood, he thought Lumine was looking for her brother.
"He's not here, at least not yet."
[This man is talking about the Aether, right? There's no way he and the others saw me. I'm activating one of my abilities to become invisible right now.]
You have such an ability, Eiji?!
Lumine was a little scared. If Eiji was an evil or perverted person, he could probably do all sorts of things with his ability to become invisible to anyone.
For example, peeping at women who were taking a bath?
Lumine's face was expressionless, but her ears were flushed.
"Lumine, do you have a fever? Your ears are red." Paimon realized something was wrong with her partner.
Lumine tightened her grip on her sword, "No, I don't have a fever. Ignore it, Paimon."
[Lumine is clearly embarrassed by something. How cute.]
"...!" Lumine had traveled many worlds before coming to Teyvat, but it was rare for the opposite sex to compliment her appearance.
And knowing Eiji called her cute, she felt embarrassed.
"Where is he now? What is he doing? Is he alright? Please, Dainsleif. I just want to find him."
She tried to focus on the subject and ignore Eiji. After all, she couldn't show that she could hear his inner voice by knowing his whereabouts.
Dainsleif sighed. "He's fine in the sense that he's alive. But he is no longer the Aether you knew from the beginning of your journey. He has seen the truth of this world. Truths that I fear you must also see."
He continued to pretend to be mysterious.
Lumine frowned, she refrained from swinging her sword and forcing Dainsleif to tell her everything he knew.
Should she do it?
Fortunately at this time, Eiji's inner voice sounded again.
[Speaking of the truth of the world the Aether has seen. As far as I know, it's definitely about Teyvat is a Prison or False World.]
What?!
Not just just Lumine, but the other heroines in Teyvat were shocked. Actually, just like Lumine. They had been hearing his inner voice ever since he came to this world.
Eiji smiled faintly.
By the way... To come here, he exchanged positions with one of his shadow soldiers whom he had smuggled into Lumine's shadow.
And in Draconic Deus, at school. Now the second recess had just started. He used the opportunity to travel to another world.
[Teyvat was not a real, natural world, but rather some kind of inverted, artificial, or prison world created and controlled under the "False Sky". The stars in the sky of Teyvat were also fake, while the real stars were only visible inside the Abyss.]
!!!
Lumine and the heroines of Genshin Impact: Really?!
How could such a thing be...
Not everyone immediately believed what Eiji said. Especially those who had lived longer than ordinary people.
However, Lumine almost believed Eiji. After all, he didn't know others could hear his inner voice and why would he lie about such a thing?
Still, she did not understand why Aether was playing hide and seek with her and was busy with something because of that.
Actually, what did he want to do?
