The Will of Honkai is a mysterious entity and the supposed creator and leader of all Honkai. It acts as deuteragonist of the first part of the story.
Appearance[]
The Will of Honkai usually appears as a white, or colorless, featureless humanoid in the shape of the person that is currently speaking with it.
History[]
More than 50,000 years ago, Dr. MEI from the Fire Moth once theorized that it is the great gestalt will of the Honkai and appropriately named it the "Will of Honkai" but never confirmed if it was a material force, sentient force of nature or even a God. Once a civilization is advanced enough, the Will starts sending its heralds, the Herrschers, to destroy humanity.
In the battle against the Final Herrscher, Dr. MEI sent Pardofelis, the 13th Flame-Chaser, and Prometheus to 'hack' the Cocoon of Finality before the 'backdoor' closed. The intent was to ensure that it to only created the same cycle of Herrschers that had appeared in the Previous Era for the Current Era. PROMETHEUS eventually achieved this goal, fusing with the Will of Honkai.
Story[]
Prometheus[]
In recent chapters it was revealed that WoH never existed in PE. WoH is revealed to be the AI Super Computer called Prometheus from the manga that Doctor MEI from PE created. Before the final battle of PE against HoTE, Mobius (One of the 13 Flamechasers) sent the 17th model of Prometheus into the Imaginary Tree to hack it and give it a mind of its own, becoming Will of The Honkai. This was done to ensure that the Current Era's Herrschers stay mostly the same as the Previous Era ones so that people of CE had a better fighting chance against them, and would be better prepared. However, the trade off for this was that Prometheus lost it's mind, and became the mind of the Imaginary Tree itself. This is when it merged with all Honkai, and became a God. In the Previous Era, Honkai was a chaotic natural force that came from the Imaginary Tree without a mind of it's own. HoTE was born from this Tree and became the leader of all Herrschers and Honkai in PE. In Current Era, Prometheus has successfully hacked into the Tree and become an Omnipotent God (WoH).
it then uses the remaining energy trapped in the moon from the battle against HoTE from PE to gift Sirin 4 cores to destroy humanity. WoH isn't really on anyone's side except Honkai. Otto says as much in chapter 27 when he talks about making deals with it. WoH now controls the Herrschers of the CE and which order they appear in except for HoTE, as she was never defeated in PE. HoTE is the only Herrscher that WoH isn't able to fully control. This is because unlike other Herrschers, HoTE was born specifically to rule the others, and was birthed from the Imaginary Tree to do so.
Later Arcs[]
In 2017, the Will awakened three Herrschers in the same day: the Herrscher of Ice, Herrscher of Stars, and Herrscher of Sentience. It was the Will's answer to the human resistance and the betrayals of several Herrschers, as in the Current Era, the world has come to a better appreciation of what it means to be a human. Emotions and instincts is what now define humanity, in opposition to the rationalism of the Previous Era. However, all three Herrschers were soon defeated, further resisting the Will's plans.
