Unfortunately, there were not enough clues, and he didn't know what the shadow meant.
This is similar to the fact that he still doesn't understand what his dream of the Shadow Puppet annihilating the Six Kings represents, or what the name of his simulated star map is.
"Well, my simulated star creation map can't be Avesta, can it?"
Roland said the name of the simulated star chart, and then felt his own simulated star chart—after he found that his simulated star chart did not react at all, he realized one thing.
That means his own simulated star map is at least not Avesta.
Roland then tried other ones, but found that none of them were the same.
This situation only made Roland more curious.
After all, the name of the simulated star map that has been completed means that it will definitely be a name that will not feel unfamiliar to people.
However, I have no clue about this.
So Roland simply stopped thinking about it and decided to wait until his divine status reached 6/6 from the current 3/6 before making a decision.
After enhancing Dragon's Legacy, Roland still has three enhancement points.
He used two of them, raising both Dragon's Shadow and Gravity Manipulation to (+8) to further enhance the power of these two skills. Roland didn't plan to use the remaining enhancement point to enhance the skill.
Instead, it's the long-awaited lottery!
The lottery had the same special effects as always, and then the long-unseen notification appeared in Roland's sight.
Congratulations on acquiring the passive skill "Power of the End"!
Ok?
Roland was a little stunned when he saw the skill.
After he realized what was happening, he took a moment to feel it and discovered that his body was indeed filled with a large amount of Honkai energy after he obtained this skill!
"As expected of something extracted from enhancement points obtained from this world..."
Feeling this power, Roland was momentarily filled with emotion.
The power of the end that he has now obtained is just like the original, unfolding demon Kevin.
They are very similar, but also different.
The same applies to those who possess a large amount of Honkai energy.
As for the differences...
Karma Kevin is not a Herrscher, so he did not become the Herrscher of the End, while Roland is not even a Fusion Warrior, so he is a little inferior to Karma Kevin in this respect.
Simply put, he had an inexhaustible supply of Honkai energy.
Furthermore, if he becomes a Herrscher, then as long as he links to all the other Herrscher powers, he can directly become the Herrscher of the End.
"If we only look at this skill, then it's really hard to say about it for me right now."
"But considering the plans Tiamat and I have prepared..."
Just as Roland was muttering to himself, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the office door. After waiting for a while, Alicia pushed the door open and walked in.
After seeing Alicia, Roland stopped thinking about those messy things and went straight to asking Alicia a question.
"Is there something you need from me?"
"Correct."
Alicia walked up to Roland. Compared to her usual smiling face, even though Alicia was smiling now, Roland could still tell from her eyes that she was very serious.
Roland found it amusing to see Alicia like this.
So he waited silently for Alicia to speak.
“Roland, I’ve been wondering for a while now why you kept Tiamat in the Sea of Life for so long, so I’ve been researching this for a while now.”
"I finally found out when I went to see Desdobia earlier."
At this point, Alicia looked at Roland, who had a slight smile on his face, and subconsciously lowered her voice a little.
"You and Tiamat...you're using the Sea of Life to create...um, what should we call that thing...?"
She was still questioning him very seriously, but Alicia suddenly stopped talking, and all the momentum she had managed to muster disappeared.
"The Cocoon of the End."
Seeing Alicia's expression, Roland gently reminded her, and Alicia's eyes lit up immediately.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Roland, you and Tiamat are creating a new Cocoon of the End, aren't you?"
....
129. The Method to Become the Herrscher of the End
"Huh!? Usually, I wouldn't know about something this important until I went through some hardships, or I'd be silenced if I found out. Roland, aren't you the kind of person who appears to be the leader of a righteous organization but is actually the world's biggest villain?"
Alicia looked quite shocked.
Roland's eyes twitched slightly at her reaction. After all, Alicia was almost always smiling, occasionally showing a troubled expression, but it was mostly feigned. She seemed to radiate goodwill towards everything in the world. This was the first time Roland had seen her react so strongly, not even when she heard the news about the gods.
When Alicia saw Roland's reaction, she covered her mouth and laughed out loud.
"I finally fooled you, weren't you surprised?"
Seeing Alicia like this, Roland shook his head helplessly.
"It is indeed a bit unexpected... but the situation is indeed not quite what you imagined. I did this in order to fight against the Honkai, or rather, to cross the final end."
Alicia is usually noisy, but when Roland started to get down to business, she quieted down and listened attentively. At that moment, she was the best listener.
"First, you must understand one thing, 960 Alicia, that is, all the Herrscher cores are actually projections of the Cocoon of the End, fragments that possess a part of the power of the Cocoon of the End. Hmm, it's easier to understand if you describe it this way."
"So the reason you can see Seele, Himiko, and Desdovia now is mainly because the power they are using now comes from the Cocoon of the End that Tiamat is creating in the Sea of Life. Otherwise, if they were still using their original cores, they would not be able to escape the fate of standing on the opposite side of humanity."
The fact that the Herrschers of the post-civilization era can stand on the side of humanity seems to suggest that the human side has triumphed over the Herrscher side, but in reality, there are many factors at play.
It involves Prometheus, Alicia, and many other messy factors.
Even so, it still requires a strong personal will, and even a Herrscher who stands on the side of the Honkai.
Therefore, the same thing would have happened differently in a previous civilization.
"So this is ah..."
Upon hearing Roland's words, Alicia pondered for a moment, as if she understood something.
After understanding this, Alicia seemed to know what Roland was going to do.
"Roland, you had Tiamat create the Cocoon of the End. Besides saving the Herrschers who could be saved, are you... going to become the Herrscher of the End?"
Before Alicia actually asked the question, even she hesitated for a moment, but Roland was very frank at that moment.
"why not?"
Roland readily shared his thoughts.
"If the power of the end can help us overcome the collapse, then it is a power that can be used—reflection and evolution. Aren't these two basic skills that have accompanied humanity for so many years?"
“Alice, I’ve thought about why something like Honkai exists in the world… After all, you’ll understand once you come into contact with the Cocoon of the End. The so-called Honkai Will is the Cocoon of the End’s selection and response mechanism. So what is the significance of the Cocoon of the End to the world?”
"If the goal is simply to bring down disaster, then why not quietly gather power and let the end erupt directly, instead of doing it a dozen or more times?"
"In particular, all the Herrschers are essentially a kind of power of the End. Fighting against these Herrschers is like helping humanity become familiar with the power of the End, and to be mentally prepared for and respond to each power."
"Moreover, the power of the End is extremely strong. If it were just a normal human civilization, it would be impossible to fight against the End if it could not learn the power that the Herrschers possessed from the multiple Great Collapses."
"So it would be strange to simply regard the Honkai as a disaster."
Roland's words made Alicia think deeply.
She added a layer of thought related to herself to Roland's ideas.
Yes, if Honkai is just a calamity, then why did it come into existence?
The stars and moon sent God's daughter... Is she meant for the world or for humankind?
While Alicia pondered, Roland continued.
"So in my opinion, the Honkai is probably a booster that propels the evolution of civilization. However, this booster is quite brutal, and it can easily cause serious damage to the object being boosted. But if we can absorb all the driving force brought by this booster, civilization will take a big leap forward on the path of the Honkai, or even surpass the path of the Honkai in other ways."
"So, the question of how to solve the Honkai problem was raised by the Cocoon of the End, and isn't the answer to the problem already quite obvious?"
"That is the power that controls Honkai."
“Alicia, as I said, there are many things I have never hidden from you from the beginning, and this is something I absolutely cannot hide from you, because if I want to become the Herrscher of the End, then I will definitely need your help.”
Hearing Roland say that, Alicia breathed a sigh of relief, then put her hands on her hips and smiled again.
"I understand. Then I'll leave it to the all-powerful Alicia~"
The Primordial Herrscher possesses the power to link the powers of all Herrschers—therefore, there are three conditions to become the End Herrscher.
First, it possesses the power of the end—that is, the incredibly powerful Honkai energy.
Secondly, it possesses the core of a Herrscher—the Cocoon of the End, nurtured by Tiamat.
Thirdly, the power of origin is used to connect all the Herrscher powers together—that is, Alicia's assistance.
