Every Herrscher possesses an extremely unique ability, allowing them to easily change the world, turning all kinds of unthinkable and non-existent phenomena into reality.
According to the famous scientists from the previous era, Vill-V and Mobius, the Herrscher's ability can be explained by extremely delicate energy trajectories, leveraging a series of tiny reactions to leverage the rules at the internal strcuture of the world, thereby expanding the impact into reality.
So, the Herrschers actually have a peculiar sensitivity to the structure of the world's operation.
Every time Senti visits Luo Lin's system space, she has subtle feeling:
It's like leaving a city full of car exhaust and arriving in the outskirts full of trees and grass, after taking a deep breath, one can truly feel the difference in the air.
And now, Senti had a similar experience in the depths of the Nine Realm.
Wait a minute, similar?
Senti quickly associated it with a certain woman surnamed Lin, who not long ago said in the mental link that she was going to mess with the "Anti Honkai Energy Array"...
Could it be that she's up to something?
So Senti smoothly shifted her gaze to Helix beside her.
At this moment, the Pink Elf was exerting all her strength, arrows and explosions refracting and bouncing off the "Mysticism" and the continuously emerging imaginary minions.
With a swift movement, Senti shattered the broken shell of the Imaginary Construct's core, then asked with a subtle expression, "Helix, do you feel anything strange there?"
"Nothing feels right at all!" Helix seemed a bit frustrated. "Although I know that Bosses in reality won't rigidly stick to their moves, this one is obviously using a lot of unfamiliar moves, right?!"
As if in response, a clock-like hemisphere popped out of the "Mysticism," covering the surrounding area. In the ticking sound of the clock's hands, a terrifying shockwave exploded!
This was clearly the signature move of the "Husk - Nihilius"... oh, no, it's the "Mysticism"!
What's going on? Can the Imaginary Family's moves be borrowed from each other? Or is it because the Imaginary Tree has fallen, giving it a template of "Omniscient, Omnipotent, Astonishing Wisdom"?
"Huh? Wait... the Bull isn't giving birth anymore?"
Helix vigilantly watched the "Mysticism" not far away. Its behavior of running and dropping minions had stopped, and even after a full minute and a half, it hadn't done anything like that again.
"Could it be transitioning to another phase?"
The Pink Elf looked at the battered imaginary Bull and the scattered golden dots on its body, becoming highly alert.
It was well known that in Honkai Impact 3rd, many bosses would initiate a flashy phase transition process after taking a certain amount of damage, such as Kallen's Sphere Devourer, Improved Fire Extinguisher, Red Temperature Invincible Whirlwind, and Catastrophic Battle Map Dash...
During the phase transition, there would be some mechanisms for players to deal with. Successfully dealing with them would give players some buffs or weaken the boss's mechanisms for the next phase. Failing to do so would result in no buffs, and players would have to face the boss in its full form...
As for the "Husk - Mysticism," it would take off in place and enter phase transition mode when its shell's HP was depleted.
Under Helix's watchful gaze, the Imaginary Bull indeed floated up, curling up in the sky, and around it condensed a special effect scene that looked like a planet.
At this point, the Imaginary Bull would temporarily enter an invincible state, conjuring up planet-like effects in the sky and launching ranged attacks against players, interspersed with attacks that locked onto player characters.
Players needed to dodge its shots. If they triggered extreme evasion at this time, they would gain a layer of attack power buff, stacking up to three layers.
Next, just be careful not to be hit by the area damage produced when the "Mysticism" landed from the sky. This descending strike was extremely powerful and could be considered a one-hit kill move.
"It's transitioning normally!"
The Pink Elf breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it would pull off some tricks..."
"Are you sure?" Senti asked, "Isn't it causing trouble right now?"
Helix squinted her eyes, noticing that the "Mysticism" didn't look as relaxed as it seemed. Its body trembled violently, as if trying to break free from this state.
The next moment, the Imaginary Bull gathered quite a formidable Honkai energy and deployed a clock-like stance around it. Because it was still floating in the sky, Helix and Senti could clearly see this pale spherical field unfolding.
Then, like a blown-up soap bubble, it burst with a snap, and all the Honkai energy it had gathered dissipated into thin air. This weakened the "Mysticism" a lot and made it emit a low mournful groan.
Senti and Helix: "?"
Just as the two were uncertain, a series of attacks glowing with purple and gold light descended from the sky.
The Pink Elf even triggered extreme evasion, and the spatial rupture field unfolded, making the sounds of battle elongate and distort, sounding strange.
"Take this opportunity to shoot it with two arrows!" Senti shouted.
"Uh, okay."
Helix followed suit and shot the pink arrows at the imaginary Bull surrounded by nebula effects, exploding into dazzling crystal flowers.
The "Mysticism" remained unmoved, not even taking a bit of damage.
Helix had a face that said, "As expected." "It's invincible during phase transition."
"How could it... It's not even in a system space... Wait a minute... Oh, I get it now. So it wasn't continuing to summon imaginary minions earlier because it didn't want to, but because it couldn't summon them."
Senti looked subtly excited, raising her eyebrows and sighing, "Just like now, it's not really willing to fly up and transition with you... It just resisted for a moment, but the result isn't great, huh."
"Huh?" Helix blinked in confusion. "Why do you say that?"
"Judging from the performance of the Imaginary Bull just now, it didn't need to do something as laborious and thankless as this. Even if it rushed headlong, the 'Mysticism' could have dragged us along for a long, long time. Does it really need to fly up into the sky and act like a fool, just like on the Memorial Arena?"
Helix also caught a hint of flavor, but the second wave of attacks interrupted her thoughts. The Pink Elf exerted force under her feet, dodging the imaginary Bull's locked shots once again.
At this moment, something even more interesting happened.
The swirling nebula particles floating around the "Mysticism" began to rotate, and a small amount flew towards Helix and Senti's bodies, bringing them a visible boost.
"This mechanism can be called 'Exposing the Core by Extreme Evasion, Counterattacking, and Taking Away the Opponent's Energy'... Haha."
Just like on the Memorial Arena.
Senti smiled and said to Luo Lin in the mental link, "Luo Lin! What have you done?"
"What, what?"
"Keep doing what you were doing just now, don't stop! The 'Mysticism' is about to take a beating!"
"I'm adjusting the 'Anti Honkai Energy Array'..."
Senti brushed off Luo Lin's bewildered voice, laughing excitedly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the rules of the world here have all been changed by her..."
