"Excellent, excellent, just like this, just like this. As long as the Herrschers acknowledge it, then I can smoothly carry on this identity. Only then can she smoothly acquire this identity..."
In that messy room, the Shut-in God Sophie was holding Moyin's pillow and looking at the values displayed on the computer. It showed that the Third Herrscher's respect for Inaba Tsukiyo was steadily rising.
Because acknowledging Inaba Tsukiyo as the will of honkai, which is the will of humanity, Inaba Tsukiyo's identity could also be smoothly assigned.
Although Sophie was the Shut-in God, she didn't have the authority to casually assign someone the identity of the will of humanity. This identity required the world's acknowledgment, and also the acknowledgment of the world's envoys.
The Herrschers of this world were the envoys of this world; they could represent the world.
As long as they acknowledged Inaba Tsukiyo's identity, the Shut-in God could logically place this identity upon her.
Moreover, the Shut-in God had previously guided the will of honkai into Inaba Tsukiyo's body through attraction, causing the will of honkai to develop a desire to devour Inaba Tsukiyo, using her as a vessel.
Becoming a Herrscher requires shedding one's human identity; only then will the Herrscher's consciousness be born. The Herrscher's consciousness will use prior memories, but the Herrscher is no longer the person they once were.
This plan carried great risks; even the Shut-in God could not guarantee that Inaba Tsukiyo would be 100% capable of withstanding the corruption of the will of honkai.
And even if she withstood the temptation of the will of honkai, according to her original plan, she would at most only be able to bear a portion of the power, becoming an existence similar to the First Herrscher.
It's just... the appearance of that great god was completely beyond her expectation; with just a few words, she managed to completely trap the will of honkai within Inaba Tsukiyo's body.
Of course, what the otaku god cared about even more was Inaba Tsukiyo herself. One must know that ordinary people don't have the ability to completely bear the will of honkai, even if the will of honkai used the dormant personality within Inaba Tsukiyo to become another consciousness.
This indicates that Inaba Tsukiyo is not as simple as she imagined, or rather, her physique is no longer that of an ordinary person.
"This is truly... worthy of someone favored by alaya. This way, her identity can be easily settled. Do I count as deciding the will of humanity of a world? Hehe~ I suddenly feel very great."
The otaku god couldn't help but smile. Her plan, to some extent, could be considered a grand failure, and also a grand success.
However, it didn't matter, as she was just watching the show from the sidelines. No matter what heights Inaba Tsukiyo would reach in the future, it had nothing to do with her.
After the commands were fully entered, the otaku god hugged Mo Yin's pillow and pounced onto the bed, rolling around with the pillow.
"Ah ah ah~ Honestly, Mo-chan has become more and more indifferent lately. She held such a grand concert with V Family a while ago, she's so cute, so why is she so cold to me?"
Clearly... clearly she had so many treasured Mo Yin items in her storage room, so why treat her this way?
As the otaku god kept rolling around on the bed, she didn't notice that the commands she entered on the computer were having an unexpected reaction.
This command directly activated Inaba Tsukiyo's soul, causing her soul to react and connect two souls from different dimensions.
At this moment, Inaba Tsukiyo, who was sleeping, arrived in a special space. This space was special because she saw two trees there.
These two trees seemed like reflections, the upper tree appearing very sacred, while the lower tree appeared extremely evil.
Although they represented completely opposite attributes, these two trees showed no abnormalities, which left Inaba Tsukiyo a bit confused.
At the same time, Inaba Tsukiyo noticed that the fruit on this tree reacted to her. It was a fruit emanating a brilliant blue light, and this fruit continuously attracted her due to her appearance.
Without any reason, Inaba Tsukiyo walked over step by step. Without her realizing it, she was actually treading on air, or rather, steps appeared directly in the air, allowing her to ascend.
One step, two steps, three steps, Inaba Tsukiyo continuously approached the fruit. With each step closer, her heart pounded fiercely.
Soon, Inaba Tsukiyo arrived before the fruit. Approaching it at close range, Inaba Tsukiyo felt as if she were the existence of this fruit, yet there were some differences.
After hesitating for a moment, Inaba Tsukiyo reached out to touch the fruit. The moment she touched it, the fruit burst forth with dazzling light.
Not only did this brilliant blue light emit dazzling radiance, but even the other fruits also bloomed with different colors.
The dazzling light made her instinctively shield her body with her hands. Until the light dissipated, Inaba Tsukiyo lowered her hands and found that the world around her had changed once again.
This was a lush green grassland, and not far away, she could see thriving... sunflowers? And in the distance, many houses were visible.
This was a small town built in a forest. For some reason, Inaba Tsukiyo felt particularly calm, as if she had returned home.
Home? To Inaba Tsukiyo, this was an unfamiliar word, or rather, a word she didn't even dare to imagine.
Due to her unique nature, even during the period she lived with Victorica, they moved every few years and never had a stable residence.
Although she never said it aloud, when she was captured by Theresa last time, Theresa's words, 'go home,' were the main reason Inaba Tsukiyo stayed here.
She was hesitating whether to consider St. Freya Academy her home, or... if she could even consider St. Freya Academy her home.
Her consciousness unconsciously scattered, and Inaba Tsukiyo felt her legs go weak, about to fall backward onto the grass.
Just before she was about to fall onto the grass, she heard a sound rapidly approaching. Immediately after, she felt herself enveloped in a warm embrace.
Like a quilt, this embrace was exceptionally warm, making Inaba Tsukiyo Can't help it rub against it.
But she quickly reacted. From the moment she arrived in this special space until now, she hadn't seen anyone else besides herself. Could the person who suddenly embraced her be related to this unusual space?
Inaba Tsukiyo quickly opened her eyes and looked up, discovering that the one holding her was an older sister with a gentle smile.
The gentle smile lowered the guard in Inaba Tsukiyo's heart. Or rather, facing this person, she felt no hostility at all—a feeling she had never experienced before.
It was as if she knew that the other person would never harm her, that the other person would protect her, even at the cost of her own life.
"Hehe~ I originally thought someone dared to invade the Guardian's mind. I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems the Guardian's soul is truly special."
The older sister gently placed Inaba Tsukiyo on the ground, reached out to caress Inaba Tsukiyo's face, her pupils fixed on Inaba Tsukiyo's eyes, speaking words that left her bewildered.
She seemed to be confirming something. After confirming, to Inaba Tsukiyo's astonished gaze, pure white wings appeared behind her.
They were not products of technology, but real, genuine wings. The moment the wings spread, Inaba Tsukiyo could even see feathers dancing in the air.
"An angel..."
Undoubtedly, the person who appeared here was an angel from myths and legends.
Now, this angel, kneeling before her like a devout believer, left Inaba Tsukiyo somewhat bewildered.
"Don't be nervous, Guardian. Although you are not the incarnation of the fourth sephirah, I have long sworn to be your Guardian Angel. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Randegil, your Guardian Angel."
"Ran... Randegil? Guardian Angel?"
Inaba Tsukiyo repeated Randegil's words. For some reason, she wanted to reach out and touch Randegil.
Inaba Tsukiyo extended her right hand, and Randegil also extended her left hand. The moment their hands touched, Randegil's wings behind her spread out, enveloping them both.
The next moment, golden light scattered, and the golden feathers transformed into an egg. At the same time, Inaba Tsukiyo and Randegil, who were enveloped inside, also found their clothes disappearing.
Noticing this detail, Inaba Tsukiyo shyly covered her private parts with her hands. This small gesture made Randegil burst into laughter.
"No need to be shy, Guardian. As your Guardian Angel, and also as a girl, you don't need to be embarrassed. Your body is still just a human body, and this is all I can give you."
With that, Randegil grabbed Inaba Tsukiyo's hands that were covering her body, and the distance between them suddenly closed.
Inaba Tsukiyo's pupils gazed at Randegil, and Randegil also looked at Inaba Tsukiyo. To Inaba Tsukiyo's shocked gaze, Randegil leaned in and kissed her.
Unlike the previous kisses with Kurumi and Tendo Ri-se for replenishing energy, Inaba Tsukiyo's eyes widened, looking at Randegil's face, which was so close. She wanted to push her away, but for some reason, the strength in her body seemed to have been drained.
She could only passively accept all of this, and she also noticed that with Randegil's kiss, a surge of power entered her body.
'What is this...?'
At this moment, a memory not belonging to her appeared.
An empty park, important people, a strange world, seals, and other things continuously formed in her mind.
Although they were only fragments of memory, these constantly forming memories were too numerous, causing her to gradually immerse herself in them.
After an unknown amount of time, Randegil released Inaba Tsukiyo. Looking at the completely dazed Inaba Tsukiyo, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
The soft and elastic touch made Randegil pinch it a few more times.
"Indeed, even another Guardian is just as cute. Now... it's time to go out. That guy should be arriving soon."
"Oh my~ oh my~ I was wondering why you ran out so urgently, Randegil, but it turns out you found something so interesting."
As Randegil brought Inaba Tsukiyo out, a familiar voice entered her ears. She turned her head to find that person standing not far away, looking at them curiously.
"I thought you'd come out in plain clothes. I didn't expect you to actually change. I thought you had completely given up, Asta."
"Don't say that. When I saw you change into formal wear and go out, I figured you must be going to see someone important. And I don't necessarily have to change into *that* outfit; this one can be conjured with just magic, you know."
Astaroth, in a way, could be called a demon. Yes, a demon.
She was the demon of the fourth vice of the inverse kabbalah evil tree, while Randegil, in contrast, was the Guardian Angel of the fourth sephirah of the kabbalah tree of life.
