Herrscher

From Houkai Gakuen 2 Miraheze Wiki
Welt, the 1st Herrscher

Houkai is a disaster that inhibits the development of civilization, and the spokespersons of Houkai (except Welt) are a group of people who embody the will to Houkai and try to destroy mankind. As the most threatening and highest form of Houkai, these "creatures" that cannot be explained by common sense is called the Herrscher (GOD).

Official Herrscher Library

Every Great Houkai will give birth to a Herrscher. The Herrscher has strong adaptability to Houkai. Even when they were born, they had certain characteristics of Herrscher ability, so it is speculated that the location of the Great Houkai was not random, but because the region has humans with the characteristics of Herrscher that caused the explosion of the Great Houkai. However, the number of such humans is extremely small. The current information shows that the purpose of the Herrscher is to execute the will to Houkai, showing a strong desire to destroy existing things.

  • According to official game lore, a Herrscher in HG2 have at least 6000HW in Era: ZERO and seems this value does not increase with more Herrscher created.
  • According to R15 story, Honkai is Honkai energy itself, and Honkai energy is a kind of energy that have life, and it has thoughts. So when someone become a Herrscher, it turns into another copy of consciousnesses which is under control of the Will of Houkai.
  • As of Protracted War (2062), Kyuusyou is the only Herrscher on Earth due to her core cannot be uninstalled.

An advanced existence that is the 2nd Herrscher is also a human being endowed with powerful abilities due to the ability to be transformed by the Houkai.

There are many reasons for the Herrscher creation, the most common is the humans with higher qualifications. It may also be the materialization of a certain concept by Houkai. There are also special cases where the original Herrscher has disappeared, the remaining Houkai can gather to form a new Herrscher.

Although the pseudo-Herrscher person isn't as scary as the Herrscher, if the pseudo-Herrscher person is allowed to exist, even if its Houkai cannot develop to the level of the Herrscher, it will still become a very huge threat.

Pseudo-Herrscher

The superior existence second to the Herrscher is also a human being endowed with powerful abilities due to being able to be transformed by the Houkai. There are many reasons for the emergence of Pseudo-Herrscher, the most common reason is the high-level zombies and humans with higher qualifications. It may also be the materialization of a certain concept by the Houkai. There are also special cases where the original Herrscher has disappeared, the remaining Houkai can gather to form a new sample of Herrscher. Although the Pseudo one as terrible as the Herrscher, if the Pseudo-Herrscher is allowed to exist, even if the Houkai cannot develop to the level of the Herrscher, it will still become a very huge threat.

Pseudo-Herrscher list:

  • Yae Sakura: A shrine maiden in a Japan village, corrupted by the God's box carried by Kallen Kaslana. Sakura later appeared in the third Great Houkai and was beaten by Kiana Kaslana, then transferred her power to Theresa Apokalypse, causing Theresa to have fox ears and tail.

Artificial Herrscher

The product of Otto's new experiment, using the Herrscher Core allows humans to evolve into "creatures" that exist similar to the Herrscher. The winner is more powerful than the general Valkyrie, has the ability to be comparable to the Herrscher, possesses an accelerated healing factor just like the Herrscher, and has the consciousness of their own human being... Otto still haven't found any negative side effects.

In fact, the existing technology cannot completely control the core fragments. When the user loses control, the Houkai energy will accelerate the erosion process of the implant.

  • The cause of implant's hair discoloration has not yet been explained.

Core Reversal Device

核心逆转装置 (Core Reversal Device) is a special equipment created by Totori to turn Herrscher back into a normal person.

The device acts as a force field and is mounted on the core of Herrscher, which runs "异化机构" (Alien Authority) in reverse.
