After uncovering the reason why her dear wife had become a Herrscher, Lunelle couldn't help but sigh softly at the unfortunate timing of her own arrival.
Honestly, looking at the situation, if she had arrived just a bit later, maybe she wouldn't have had to die at all and could've straight-up freeloaded the Herrscher authority of her beloved Seele.
But alas, such thoughts were nothing more than wishful thinking for Lunelle.
Just being able to survive in this world of Honkai as a human felt like hitting the jackpot already!
'Ah, whatever! Since I'm using my dear wife's body for this simulation anyway, there's no point obsessing over whether I'm special or not.'
After finishing the diary, Lunelle mentally sketched out the image of her beloved Seele as she imagined her.
Then, almost abruptly, her entire demeanor shifted.
With graceful movements, she carefully tucked away the diary, its pages still faintly carrying the lingering scent of fingertips.
With the help of the body's muscle memory and the contents recorded in the diary, Lunelle's presence seamlessly transformed into that of a gentle, soft-spoken girl—one who, despite her youth, carried an air of maturity far beyond her years, both in body and mind.
To be frank, Lunelle initially thought that relying solely on the fragmented clues in the diary to perfectly portray her beloved Seele would likely result in some bizarre, mismatched parody.
But the moment she actually attempted to mimic her, she was suddenly struck by a strange sensation—like a seasoned actor slipping effortlessly into character.
Although Lunelle had never truly laid eyes on her beloved Seele's real form, the behavior and mannerisms she now embodied seemed to align with the muscle memory etched into this body with over ninety percent accuracy.
It was as if she had genuinely lived as "Seele" in this world for more than a decade.
Her earlier worry about exposing her abnormalities upon meeting others finally eased, now that her "acting skills" were up to par.
'But then...'
However, Lunelle—whose heart had been calm as still water—suddenly recalled something unpleasant, causing her adorable, gentle brows to furrow slightly.
'These scumbags dare to covet my beloved Seele?!'
'They've got some nerve!'
In an instant, the perfectly performed image of a gentle girl shattered as a sliver of murderous intent surged within her.
Almost involuntarily, an unfathomably deep and terrifying aura of death erupted from Lunelle's entire being!
The first to be caught in this wave of death were several shadowy figures lurking not far outside her room.
The moment they made contact with the deathly aura, in less than three seconds, the terrifying power of the Authority of Destruction utterly erased every trace of life within them.
These ill-intentioned individuals had stationed themselves here, paid handsomely, waiting for the right moment to kidnap a certain exceptionally beautiful orphan girl who had neither power nor influence.
Little did these petty crooks imagine they'd be wiped out in mere moments upon their first encounter.
But as these despicable scumbags had their lives unwittingly stripped away by Lunelle, her originally clear, ocean-blue eyes—pure and flawless—under the influence of the Authority of Destruction, instantly shifted into a crazed, bloodthirsty crimson!
An uncontrollable, overwhelming killing intent surged to the forefront of her mind, causing Lunelle—both physically and mentally—to see nothing but red.
In a daze, Lunelle sensed a seductive, enchanting voice explode deep within her consciousness.
As that bewitching tone echoed, any lingering hesitation vanished, and Lunelle completely unleashed the restraints on the murderous impulses welling up inside her!
Kill!
Kill!!
Kill!!!
The terrifying Authority of Destruction spontaneously condensed into a mass of eerie, dark-red substance.
This strange matter gradually crept over Lunelle's flawless, delicate form and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a set of alluring yet dangerous crimson armor.
Now with crimson eyes, guided by the Authority of Destruction, Lunelle slowly raised a hand.
A cluster of dark-red authoritative energy, driven by her will, instantly morphed into a massive, blood-red scythe radiating an aura of destruction!
Based on Lunelle's recollection, the name of this scythe forged from authority should be:
Sanguine Gaze: Union.
At the very moment she was completely swallowed by boundless killing intent, Lunelle faintly sensed the sudden appearance deep within her consciousness of another "self"—one strangely familiar yet with utterly hollow eyes.
Or perhaps, another "Seele"?
This other "Seele" had blood-red eyes.
Then, the other "Seele" instinctively curled her lips into a sickly, crazed smile before suddenly lunging toward Lunelle's primary consciousness—now thoroughly eroded by killing intent and powerless to resist.
Under the influence of the terrifying murderous impulses continuously surging within, Lunelle's consciousness, teetering on the brink of madness, suddenly felt as if she were being embraced tightly by an infinitely lovely, warm, and soft presence!
Perhaps because even if this simulation failed, Lunelle would at most just receive the Safety Net reward...
This sudden "fanservice segment" caught Lunelle, who had never before experienced the charm of a beautiful girl, completely off guard, dismantling all her mental defenses in an instant.
In that moment, Lunelle subconsciously forgot that this Herrscher persona was a one-to-one replica modeled after her own core consciousness.
With no life-or-death reason to fight back, faced with such an overwhelming sugary assault—and being actively snuggled by her wife for the first time—Lunelle simply couldn't control herself!
As a result, the fierce battle on the consciousness level soon came to an end, and the final outcome wasn't hard to imagine.
With her primary consciousness easily subdued by the Herrscher consciousness, control over the simulated body naturally transferred to the other Herrscher "Seele" within her mind!
And Lunelle's consciousness in the simulation, utterly defenseless, completely succumbed to the other "Seele's" encroaching erosive assault, gradually falling silent...
Hah! This time, she got careless and didn't dodge in time!
And it definitely wasn't because Lunelle, when she couldn't hold out any longer, simply wanted to experience being deeply snuggled by "Seele" that she completely gave up resisting!
But really, what dedicated Seele fan could possibly resist snuggles from "Seele" anyway?
After Lunelle's primary consciousness was defeated on the mental plane, the feedback in the simulation was natural:
Complete control of the body was seized by the Herrscher persona of the Authority of Destruction.
Influenced by the Herrscher's instinct to bring ruin upon the world, the newly emerged Herrscher "Seele" quickly became an apostle of Honkai, spreading death across the land.
However, because Lunelle had specifically pointed out before her downfall that a certain powerful, wealthy scumbag capitalist must die, under her influence, the other "Seele" first sought out this very force that had attempted to forcibly marry Lunelle.
Without a word, she slaughtered every last member of that scumbag young master's family, leaving none alive!
After exterminating the entire family of the one who had designs on Seele, driven by the Herrscher's world-ending instincts and the innate bloodlust accompanying the awakening of the Authority of Destruction, the other "Seele" began an indiscriminate, bloody massacre of every living being within her sight.
Overnight, blood stained the town's streets.
Under the baptism of the terrifying blood-red scythe, all life in the city was extinguished, transforming it into a true city of the dead.
Naturally, with "Seele" carrying out such horrifying slaughter without any attempt to conceal it, the organization Fire Moth instantly identified "Seele" as a fearsome Herrscher posing an extreme threat to humanity.
