Capítulo 76: Ch-76 < continent destruction >
Fifteen days had passed, and the atmosphere at MOTH was tense.
Bronya had been workig on monitoring various satellites and detectors, ensuring that nothing went unnoticed, preventing any potential disasters.
However, during a routine check, she suddenly informed everyone that two Herrschers had been located.
The lab fell silent, everyone gathering around Bronya as she displayed the locations on a holographic map.
"What's the location?" Mobius asked, her voice sharp with anticipation.
Bronya zoomed in on the map, revealing two points of interest—one deep in the Mu continent, the other shockingly close, just 5 kilometers away from the lab.
"It's so close..." Mei murmured, her brow furrowing with concern. Without wasting time, Mei instructed Hua and Kosma to investigate the nearby location.
They quickly made their way to the site, where they found Aponia, Griseo, and Rin, all appearing relaxed as they went about their activities. Hua approached them, her expression serious.
"What brings you both here?" Aponia asked, her calm demeanor contrasting with the growing tension.
Hua quickly explained the situation, "We've detected a Herrscher nearby. The readings indicate that the Herrscher is among you."
Aponia's eyes narrowed slightly, sensing the gravity of the situation. "What kind of cooperation do you need from us?"
"We need you all to come with us to Mobius' lab for a thorough scan," Kosma added, his tone firm yet respectful.
Though there was a hint of unease, Aponia agreed, and the group followed them back to the lab. Once there, Mobius wasted no time, running a comprehensive scan on Rin, Griseo, and Aponia. The results were alarming—a stigma was detected on Rin.
Vita, who had been observing the scans, explained, "A stigma means she has been chosen as a Herrscher."
Bronya added, "The readings are consistent. Rin is indeed the Herrscher we've detected."
Mei stepped forward, her concern for Rin evident. "Rin... What are you feeling? Is something wrong?"
Rin tilted her head slightly, considering the question. "Nothing in particular? I do feel stronger, though."
Mobius nodded thoughtfully. "That is indeed possible with the stigma. We've seen it before in our research on Kevin's natural stigma."
Just then, Kevin and Elysia arrived at the lab, having heard the alarming news about a new Herrscher. Kevin's expression darkened as he processed the situation.
"We need to contain her for now," Mei declared. "She might be stable at the moment, but we all know what could happen if she's left unchecked."
As they spoke, Sakura burst into the lab, her face pale and her eyes wide with panic. "Dr. Mei! This is preposterous! Rin hasn't done anything wrong!" Her voice was desperate, her fear for Rin palpable.
Kosma stepped forward, his voice steady but firm. "Sakura, don't forget that Herrschers often appear harmless at first. We can't take any chances."
Sakura's eyes filled with tears as she clenched her fists so tightly that her palms began to bleed.
In that moment, Elysia reached out to Kevin through their soul bond, her voice echoing in his mind. *"Kevin, can't you do something? There must be another way."*
Kevin sighed, sensing the weight of the decision before him. He looked at Elysia, his expression serious. "It's time for you to awaken as a Herrscher."
Elysia's eyes widened in shock. "What are you planning?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty. Kevin had always been adamant about not using her Herrscher powers unless absolutely necessary.
Kevin's gaze softened as he met her eyes. "We need your power, Elysia...
As they were deep in discussion, the alarms suddenly blared throughout the MOTH building.
Bronya's AI interface instantly came to life, her voice calm yet laced with urgency.
"A fully awakened Herrscher has been detected in the Mu continent," Bronya announced, her digital eyes narrowing as she analyzed the data streaming in.
The room froze as Klein, her voice betraying the shock she felt, added, "The energy indicators show a power level three times that of the Herrscher of Binding."
Every eye in the room widened, the gravity of the situation sinking in. This was unlike anything they had faced before.

Mu Continent
In a small, dimly lit room within the ruins of a once-thriving city, a man sat hunched over a worn desk. His brown hair was disheveled, and his once-bright eyes were now clouded with despair. This was a man whose life had been utterly shattered.
He had once been a respected teacher, passionate about science and dedicated to the children he taught. He worked at a prestigious tutorial school, where he was admired for his intelligence and commitment. His life, however, had taken a horrific turn.
His wife, the love of his life, had been killed by a thief in a random act of violence. His children, the light of his world, were taken from him by a merciless plague. The tragedy left him a hollow shell of the man he once was.
He returned to his work, the only thing left now was his passion about teaching.
But the world had turned cruel. His students, once eager to learn, now mocked his misery. His neighbors, who once shared meals and conversations with him, now avoided him as if he were cursed.
As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, the man's sorrow turned into something darker. He began to despise the world that had taken everything from him.
His heart, once filled with knowledge and kindness, now seethed with hatred and bitterness. He felt abandoned, not only by those around him but by the very world he had once loved.
Sitting in his small, desolate home, the man could feel the weight of his grief crushing him. His hands trembled as he held a photo of his family, the edges worn from the countless times he had clutched it in despair. Tears welled in his eyes, but there were no more left to shed. His soul had become a barren wasteland, devoid of hope.
That's when he heard it—a voice, soft and feminine, whispering in his mind.
"You have suffered enough. You have been wronged, abandoned. But you can change that. You can become more… you can become something greater."
He looked up, startled, his eyes darting around the room. But there was no one there. Just the whisper, growing louder, more insistent.
"The stars… they have watched your pain, your suffering. They offer you power. Power to change your fate, to make them all pay."
As the voice echoed in his mind, something within him snapped. A spark ignited in the depths of his heart, and his eyes began to glow—a brilliant, unnatural sparkle that illuminated the dark room.
A huge blast of honkai energy was relased from his body. Huge amount of honkai energy start absorbing into his body and the unknown is also helping him completing his transformation.
The man's transformation was complete. The sorrow and hatred that had consumed him had now manifested into something far more powerful.
He started flying up in air , his mind taken control by someone.
He was no longer just a broken man. He was the Herrscher of Stars, who can control the celestial powers of universe.
The voice in his head was no longer a whisper but a commanding presence, guiding him, urging him to unleash the full extent of his power.
"Show them your strength. Make them pay for what they've done. The stars are yours to command."
the air around him crackled with energy. The once-calm sky above the Mu continent darkened, swirling with ominous clouds as the very atmosphere seemed to twist under the weight of his newfound power.
His eyes, now glowing with a fierce starlight and looked at the the world that had wronged him.
He raised his hand to the sky and a massive, pulsating sphere of energy formed in the sky above him.
The sphere was a swirling vortex of black and purple, shimmering with an unholy light that flickered like dying embers.
It grew larger with every passing second, the ground beneath him trembling as the power of the stars converged into a single point.
With a calm that belied the destructive force he was about to unleash, the man clenched his fist.
The sphere compressed, its edges sharpening as if it were folding in on itself. And then, with a thunderous roar that shook the heavens, the sphere imploded, collapsing inward with a force that defied comprehension.
A black hole was born—a void of darkness so absolute that it seemed to consume the very light around it. The earth quaked violently as the black hole expanded, the area got coated of dark energy lashing out like the limbs of a vengeful god.
Buildings, trees, mountains—everything in its path was sucked into the void, crushed into nothingness by the immense gravitational pull.
The destruction was instantaneous and absolute. Entire cities were torn from the ground, their remains spiraling into the abyss like dust in the wind.
The landscape twisted and crumbled as the black hole devoured everything in its wake, erasing 60% of the Mu continent in a matter of moments.
The screams of those caught in the devastation were silenced almost as quickly as they had begun, swallowed by the void that showed no mercy.
From his position at the epicenter of the devastation, the Herrscher of Stars—stood unscathed.
