Honkai Energy

==Summary==
The Honkai is a cosmic force of nature that pervades the shared multiverse of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Honkai energy is the main byproduct of all manifestations of the Honkai across universes. Sufficient concentrations of Honkai energy radiation can cause several adverse effects on all living beings, particularly those with human intellect. While the necessary concentrations vary from person to person due to innate Honkai resistance, a successful infection is referred to as Honkai Corruption.
==Honkai as a Universal Energy System==
Honkai energy is used by all the combatants in the verse and helps them in many ways. The section below explains how Honkai energy qualifies for a Universal Energy System. And given its feats and mechanisms, the following abilities are granted by default to any user: Energy Absorption, Statistics Amplification & Damage Boost.
===Universal Use===
Honkai energy is used by everything in the setting, from reactors,Story Chapter III: Poem of the Wind vehicles,Story Chapter XIV: Dispel the Darkness mechs,Story Chapter II: Voice in the Dreams Story Chapter IV: Betrayal Has a Silvery Smile and civilizations,Anti-Entropy Visual Novel: Chapter 5, Part 2 to individuals who can freely manipulate it, be it ValkyriesStory Chapter XIII: ARC NocturneSecond Key, Chapter 13: The Yoke of Sin through their stigmata,Durandal Visual Novel: Chapter 2, Part 2 MANTIS and Honkai beasts through Honkai in their genes, Story Chapter X: Under The Deep Elysian Realm Chapter II: To the Other Me and Herrschers by their cores and bodies filled with Honkai energy.Story Chapter IX: Journey for TomorrowStory Chapter XV: The Prodigal Girl Returns Furthermore, individuals with Honkai resistance can also manipulate it.Azure Waters, Chapter 6: The Test
It powers all abilities, from battlesuits,Dorm Menu, Directory: Valkyries - White Comet weaponsElan Palatinus, Chapter 0: History to powers,Story Chapter XI-EX: Diane's Sojourn some examples are: Honkai energy being used to manipulate matter, Kiana/Sirin using Honkai energy to cause spatial curvatures, Ana Schariac using Honkai energy for her ice manipulation,Story Chapter XVIII: From Beds of Everlasting Snow Herrscher of Sentience's illusions releasing Honkai energy,Story Chapter XX: Immortal PhoenixStory Chapter XXI: Wings of ReawakeningStory Chapter XXII: Me and Myself Honkai beasts using Honkai energy to create acid storms.Collection: Enemies - Acidic Corrosion 
===Empowerment=== 
Honkai energy and its users have demonstrated several feats in terms of amplification, whether boosting the user's physique, speedCollection: Weapons - Pistols or abilities, both passively and actively.
Examples of passive strengthening are the enhancements received by Valkyries through their stigmas, making their body one of the best vessels for Honkai energy, MANTIS through the genes of Honkai beasts boosting their strength and speed, with the strongest MANTIS like Flame-Chasers reaching Herrscher levels,Elysian Realm Chapter I: In the Infinite ShadowElysian Realm - Expand: ELF Typewriter with the latter also having Honkai energy inside their bodies.
It's also possible to absorb Honkai energy, something noted to be possible for every Valkyrie,Durandal Visual Novel: Chapter 30, Part 1 to strengthen both the physique and abilities in the process.Story Chapter V: Tundra ReunionStory Chapter VI: Babylon's PrisonerSecond Eruption, Chapter 03: The War BeginsSecond Eruption, Chapter 02: The Girl Fueling more Honkai energy causes enhanced resistances to be bypassed,Moon Shadow, Chapter 9: Truth Revealed and also increased the potency of the matter manipulation from atomic to sub-atomic. Additionally, Swara, the Edge of Taixuan,Story Chapter XXXII: End of the World is able to not only strengthen the body but also launch attacksSecond Eruption, Chapter 46: Edge of TaixuanSecond Eruption, Chapter 47: Broken Link and works by fueling more Honkai energy.
Honkai energy also improves battlesuits and melee weapons such as swords,Collection: Weapons - Swords: Weapons - 2 Handed which also empower the wielder in the process, or firearms such as pistols. 
===Impairment===
The reverse of the above is also true, with several showings of users losing their strength, speed, failing to use their powers and even death. 
To begin, there is an anti-Honkai serum, which is capable of deactivating Honkai energy, this serum was able to weaken a Honkai beast, resulting in its inability to control Honkai energy, which caused its death. Valkyries have also lost their ability to wield Honkai, and were reduced to human levels of strength. Zombies went into a state of panic and rampage and even lost consciousness.
Losing or having less Honkai energy causes the user to get slower, affecting both their travel, reaction, and attack speed, while lack of Honkai energy causes powers to fail. Chapter 10: Void Against Reason
==Standard Effects==
A list of effects that Honkai energy can afflict on its surrounding proximity:
*Corruption (Types 1 & 2): Sufficient Honkai energy radiation is capable of corrupting sentient beings, influencing their minds and turning living people into zombies, or in more extreme cases, into partial Honkai beasts. This corruption affects things that have no physical form, such as the disembodied consciousness of the Herrscher of Sentience.
*Disease Manipulation: Exposure to Honkai energy infects people similarly to a virus, causing quick death after infection.
*Biological Manipulation: Honkai infection can mutate creatures, turning animals into partial Honkai beasts and humans into zombies. Lower levels of Honkai infection can cause infected areas to be crippled, such as with Bronya's leg, which required an exoskeleton prosthetic to function after the X-10 experiment that led to her infection.
*Perception Manipulation: Honkai infection can cause hallucinations in later stages.
*Non-Physical Interaction: Honkai energy can interact with Higokumaru, who is a disembodied spirit, and Quantum Shadows, which are beings described as projections composed of human cognition that are spawned from people's memories, and should be one with the Sea of Quanta, which is a higher-dimensional realm that exists between reality and imagination, that is composed entirely of pure information. Furthermore, it is stated by Fu Hua that Honkai energy is even more effective on non-physical entities than it is on physical ones.
==Low-Level Manipulation==
Those with resistance to Honkai energy, such as Valkyries, most Blade Mantra users, Stigma users, and the common MANTIS soldiers can exert some level of control on it when trained, granting them use of the following abilities:
*Statistics Amplification: Honkai energy can be used to strengthen the body and enhance weapons and armor, both passively, as with the natural enhancements received by Valkyries and MANTIS soldiers, as well as actively, such as with users of the Edge of Taixuan's Blade Mantra.
*Resistance to Corruption (Types 1 & 2), Disease Manipulation, Biological Manipulation and Perception Manipulation: Those with resistance to Honkai energy can resist all of its standard effects.
==High-Level Manipulation==
Those with near-perfect or perfect resistance to Honkai energy, such as masters of Blade Mantra, Flame-Chasers, high-level Valkyries, true Stigma-Awakened, successful subjects of the X-10 Experiment, as well as Herrschers and Pseudo-Herrschers, are capable of manipulating Honkai energy to a far greater extent, granting them the following abilities:
*Sub-Atomic Manipulation, Quantum Manipulation, Limited Space-Time Manipulation and BFR: High level manipulation of Honkai energy allows users to manipulate matter on a sub-atomic level, and induce space-time distortions to warp objects to the Sea of Quanta.
*Self-Sustenance (All Types): Seele was able to survive in the Sea of Quanta for years without food, water or oxygen. It is also specifically noted that Stigma-Awakened, Herrschers and MANTISes also do not require air to breathe.
*Energy Absorption: Raiden Mei was able to absorb the years of Honkai energy build-up in Nagazora as well as the energy leaking through the portal to the Imaginary Space in order to empower herself and reawaken as the Herrscher of Thunder.
*Resistance to Cosmic Radiation and Extreme Cold: Powerful enough Honkai users are able to casually withstand the conditions of the Moon as well as deep space.
*Resistance to Time Stop, Space-Time Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Existence Erasure and Transmutation: Honkai energy users of this level are able to safely exist within the Sea of Quanta, where conventional time does not flow, space-time is distorted, foreign objects are distorted into alien shapes, and anything from individual objects to entire realities are reduced to the same meaningless information that comprises it.
Herrschers have all the above abilities, in addition to:
*Limited Physics Manipulation, Law Manipulation and Subjective Reality: Herrschers can bend and break the laws of physics by imposing their respective authorities upon the world through their thoughts becoming reality.
*Dimensional Manipulation: Herrschers can inherently manipulate higher dimensions; though this ability is not instinctively learned outside of the Herrscher of the Void, as Welt Yang needed to open his mind to observing reality through higher dimensions in order to do so.
*Resistance to Spatial Manipulation: Herrschers are unaffected by weaker spatial fissures.
*Additional Notes: Herrschers passively radiate enough Honkai energy that the effects listed under Standard Effects occur extremely quickly unless said Honkai energy is controlled. For example, humans would quickly turn into zombies just by being near the 3rd Herrscher when she first awakened.
==Potency, Range and Resistance==
Honkai energy supports the Sea of QuantaHonkai Impact Part 2: Collectibles - Youyun's Classroom . Issue 101 and the Ether Archor, both being 11-dimensional,Durandal Visual Novel: Chapter 2, Part 3Durandal Visual Novel: Chapter 3, Part 1 with higher-dimensions being capable of easily destroying lower-dimensional realms as if they were a book and are completely unaffected by everything coming from them,Alien Space, Chapter 15: Alien Key with Honkai also having a connection with it.Anti-Entropy Visual Novel: Chapter 23, Part 3 Honkai energy in the Sea of Quanta was also able to corrode and destroy the Ether Anchor.Durandal Visual Novel: Chapter 30, Part 1Story Chapter XXV-EX: Immortal Blades
High-level users of Honkai energy draw it directly from the Sea of Quanta,Story Chapter XI: Deep End of the Sea with Honkai's source being higher-dimensional,Story Chapter XL: Seven Karma Phala and they have enough Honkai resistance to withstand the Sea, Story Chapter XII: Plain of Vigrid furthermore, this resistance is what allows the manipulation of Honkai energy, with such mastery enabling its user to BFR people to the Sea of Quanta.Azure Waters, Chapter 7: Fortitude from HeavenAzure Waters, Chapter 8: Seele
Honkai energy qualifies for High-Complex Multiversal (High 1-C) potency, range and resistances as it can destroy and support 11-dimensional structures, as well as warping things to there, users can also draw and resist Honkai energy from the same realm.
