People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

What I want to write is a story where "the protagonist uses unorthodox methods to save a broken girl," which must also be "healthy, sunny, and positive."

I won't make any grand promises, like how many chapters I'll update on the day of release or how many chapters I'll update every day thereafter. I'll write at my own pace and maintain an update frequency of two chapters a day.

As for offering a reward, I'll decide whether to do so after seeing how my writing progresses.

After all, I've seen plenty of cases where pursuing efficiency at the expense of quality ended in dismal failure.

Of course, first-time subscriptions are very important for authors. The higher the first-time subscriptions, the more enthusiastic and diligent the author will be in updating. After all, we won't turn down money.

Then.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening to my good brothers who support me.

As I leave my good brothers, I wish you all a good morning, a good afternoon, and a good evening.

Chapter 45 Thousand Tribulations, you're not protecting yourself at all!

The village's original inhabitants, wielding sharp blades, want to sever your veins and consume your blood. They have witnessed your formidable power in fighting the Honkai Beasts and believe that by drinking your blood, they can gain a portion of your power to combat the Honkai disease.

Seeing that they wanted to use you as a scapegoat, you didn't tolerate these unruly people. You broke free from your restraints, realizing that these people had lost their humanity under the corruption of the collapse, and decided to wipe them all out to save the Thousand Calamities.

[Faced with the commoners' act of bleeding him out, Qianjie reacted completely differently from you. He seemed to feel no pain, allowing them to cut open his skin and bleed him, offering his blood for them to enjoy.]

Just as you were about to send these delirious villagers on their way, they didn't run away or beg for mercy. Instead, they turned to Qianjie, who was tied to the rack, for help: "My Lord God, please save me from the harm of demons!"

[Qian Jie, who had been silently enduring the pain, suddenly stirred upon hearing the villagers' pleas, using flames to burn away the ropes binding him: "Outsider, if you want to fight, then I'll fight you to the bitter end!"]

Seeing Qianjie easily break free of his restraints, you are filled with anger. You don't understand why Qianjie, who was clearly harmed by these villagers, would try to kill you when you were helping him free himself.

Fortunately, Qiaoqiao knew the game's plot and understood that Qianjie just wanted a place to belong.

Otherwise, Jojo would definitely think that Qianjie had developed Stockholm syndrome.

[You mentioned questioning Qianjie, who was blocking the villagers' way: "Can't you easily break free from their restraints? Then why didn't you resist their atrocities?"]

"Hahahaha!" Qianjie burst into wild laughter, seemingly amused by your words. "If you want to know why, then use your power to pry open my mouth!"

[As soon as he finished speaking, Qianjie's entire body burst into flames again, and he charged towards you.]

Forced into a corner, you once again engage in a fierce battle with Qianjie, but his power is simply too destructive. Before you can even subdue the unruly villagers, the village's buildings have already been reduced to ruins.

You're not protecting anything, are you?

Qiaoqiao silently complained to herself.

Finally, you used the power of the Herrscher of the Void to imprison him in an infinitely looping spatial labyrinth, and he drove you out of the village.

Your battle ended in a draw once again; he failed to kill you, and you failed to kill the villagers.

You can only steal one villager's sweater to escape the village and find the missing Alina.

Alina walked alone on the snow leading deep into the tundra. After calming down, she relied on her past memories to barely maintain her composure and suppress the Herrscher consciousness within her. She then encountered local natives being attacked by Honkai Beasts.

Without a word, Alina used her Herrscher powers to kill the two Honkai Beasts and save the native inhabitants.

The village couple who rescued Alina took her to their home to express their gratitude, and even poured her a cup of hot water, which melted some of the ice in Alina's heart.

But the next moment, the village couple locked the door to the house where Alina was.

Alina seemed to sense something was amiss and went to knock on the door, only to find it covered in human scratches.

It's clear that Alina was deceived. This couple has been deceiving outsiders for a long time, trapping them in this room and brutally murdering them.

They used the same method against Alina, who had saved their lives, because they had witnessed how Alina killed Honkai Beasts and believed that she, like Qianjie, was an apostle of the gods. They thought that by devouring her flesh and blood, they too could resist the Honkai.

[Alina, devastated by the betrayal and cruelty, wept bitterly, but at that moment, a voice echoed in her heart: "See? No one in this world will treat you as a human being."]

Alina shook her head desperately, trying to resist the seductive voice, but the more she resisted, the stronger the voice in her heart became: "Those warriors wanted to kill you, the civilians here want to kill you, everyone wants to kill you, even your most trusted Father Jojo, one day he will turn his blade against you just like everyone else."

Alina said painfully, "No, Jojo is different from others. He won't hurt me."

Hatred could not break Alina's spirit, so the voice stirred up her inner desires and fears: "People change. Even if Father Jojo is willing to protect you now, if he watches you turn into a monster step by step, sooner or later he will not be able to resist killing you. If you don't want Father Jojo to see you as a monster like everyone else, then freeze everything before he hates you, and let beauty last forever!"

Alina felt a slight tremor in her heart as she looked up at her reflection in the mirror in the room.

The next instant, a crack spread across the mirror's surface, and Alina's image shattered along with the mirror, becoming unrecognizable.

[You walk alone on the silvery-white snow, clutching your injured arm, when suddenly a biting cold wave hits you. You struggle against the wind with all your might, holding the card 'Threads of Fate of the Goddess of Misfortune' in your hand. You can only use the card's power to transfer Alina's fate of death to yourself by touching her body.]

On your way to Alina, you happen to encounter Aponia, Padre, and Sakura. They seem to have noticed Alina's movements and are heading in the same direction as you.

The moment you met, Sakura drew her Frostfire Blade from its sheath, and a sharp, chilling sword light slashed towards you.

Ok? !

Are they planning to kill me while I'm injured?

Good heavens! These women actually murdered their husbands?!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Aponia, Sakura, and Paddo were all forced to act as his 'slaves' because he threatened them.

But you should know that besides Aponia, Sakura and Padma are also wearing Jojo's explosive collar. If they attack you, it means they're risking their lives.

Although... those two are actually just ordinary collars, they don't have a detonation function.

Just when Qiao Qiao thought he was doomed, Sakura's sword light flashed past Qiao Qiao and cut one of the Honkai Beasts behind him in two.

After killing the Honkai Beast, Sakura sheathed her sword and, seeing your panicked expression, said, "Don't worry."

Sakura gently hooked her finger around the collar around her neck and said, "I will remain loyal to you until this collar is removed, Master."

Qiaoqiao swallowed hard.

Sakura is too dangerous. If I hadn't lied to her about the bomb in her collar, I would probably be dead by now.

Not only were you startled by Sakura's imposing aura, but even the cat was taken aback by Sakura's sudden attack.

[After seeing that Jojo was safe and sound, Aponia secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I know that you all have some past grievances, but... right now, Miss Alina's matter is more important."]

On your way to the cabin in the woods to find Alina, you turn back to the nun and ask, "Aponia, is today the day you prophesied Alina would be consumed by flames?"

As Aponia watched Alina disappear into the horizon, her fate etched on the horizon, in the distance, she shook her head and said, "I only know that Miss Alina will be consumed by flames, but I don't know the exact date. Fate is always so unpredictable; even I cannot see the whole picture."

Hearing this, you made up your mind and said to the three of them, "You'll cover me. As long as I can reach Alina, I have a way to change her fate."

Sakura frowned slightly and said, "Do you really believe in this so-called fate?"

Sakura's reaction was so real it was almost excessive. Of the three—Pad, Jojo, and Sakura—only Jojo, who knew the plot, would believe in the threads of fate that Aponia spoke of.

[You firmly answered Sakura's question: "Yes, I believe Aponia's words."]

Hearing your answer, neither Sakura nor Paddo could change your decision, leaving you no choice but to accept the explanation of the threads of fate. Aponia, meanwhile, simply said to you softly, "Thank you."

Unfortunately, you didn't hear her thank you.

Aponia then asked, "Jojo, how do you want to change Alina's fate?"

It's worth noting that Aponia spent her entire life trying to change the tragic fates of others, but she never succeeded.

On the contrary, her efforts to change her fate often make the other person's journey to their destiny even worse.

[When you hear Aponia's question, you casually reply, "I have a skill that can only be used once in my life, which can avert the fate of someone's death."]

Upon hearing your answer, Aponia didn't raise any doubts. If someone else claimed to have such power, she would probably think it was a joke. But since it's you, Aponia is willing to believe you, after all, you've already accomplished many things that others consider completely impossible.

[You didn't lie to Aponia, because you truly could change Alina's fate of death; you just didn't tell her everything. Once you use this card, you will also die.]

This card, "Threads of Misfortune," should perhaps be renamed; I think "Death-Killing Card" would be more appropriate.

Chapter 46 The Power of the Herrscher of Ice

When you see Alina again, she has closed herself off emotionally. Her once snow-white skin is now as empty and dark as the night, and the crown representing the Herrscher of Ice floats above her head. No matter how you call out to her, she remains motionless like a puppet.

You try to approach her, but she immediately emanates a chilling aura, trying to drive you back.

Just when you were struggling to move forward, it was Sakura who, wielding her Frosty Prison Ice Blade, cleaved through the icy chill for you.

[Aponia gave him a push from behind: "Jojo, if you really can change your destiny, then prove it to me."]

Enduring the biting cold wind, you reached out to Alina and finally managed to grasp her body.

[In an instant, you activate the power of the "Threads of Misfortune" card.]

[Aponia watched as the threads of misfortune, symbolizing Alina's fate, slowly fell away and connected with you. Only then did she realize that the power you spoke of to change destiny came at a price.]

That's a life for a life.

When Aponia was first threatened by you to serve you, she genuinely wished for your death, even contemplating taking you down with her after everything was over. But when you actually faced death, she felt inexplicably heartbroken.

After transferring the threads of misfortune that represented Alina to yourself, a satisfied smile appeared on your face. Accepting the power of the Herrscher of Ice might be a disaster for others, but for you, it was a shortcut to increasing your strength, and you had absolutely no fear of death.

With the assistance of the "Threads of Misfortune," you entered the consciousness space deep within the Herrscher's core through the power of Honkai consciousness, where you encountered Alina imprisoned within the Pure White Domain.

Unlike when you entered Carol's consciousness space last time, Alina showed no resistance to your arrival and opened her heart to you from the very beginning.

You reach out to Alina, who is bound by chains, and say to her, "Alina, trust me, give me all your power."

The goodwill you cultivated with Alina earlier is now paying off; she reached out and grasped your hand without hesitation: "Yes, I'm willing to give you everything I have, Father Jojo."

The moment she agreed, the power of the Herrscher of Ice surged into your body.

In the real world, Jojo's hand pierced Alina's chest, and he once again activated "Give it to me," using the power of the Herrscher of the Void to steal her Herrscher Core.

[Under the shocked gazes of Aponia, Padre, and Sakura, you held the core of the Herrscher of Ice in your hand, placed it against your heart, and merged it with the 'Honkai Consciousness'.]

In an instant, your skin turned as pale as snow, and a crown of solidified ice was placed on your head. Darkness materialized into a mask, shrouding your face. Unlike the expressionless Alina, the black mask on your face always bore a maniacal smile.

You have become the one who wields the power of the Herrscher of Ice, possessing the ability to freeze all things.

[Congratulations, host, you have received 1000 crystals and one opportunity to "duplicate an item".]

Sakura sensed the powerful Honkai energy emanating from you, and her slender hand grasped the Frostfire Blaze. She could feel an even more powerful Herrscher of Ice than Alina was about to be born: "Is this what JoJo meant by changing fate?"

[Padre saw that you had completely transformed: "Boss, wake up! If your consciousness is corrupted, then all your assets will belong to me!"]

[After gaining the power of the Herrscher of Ice, you manipulate Honkai energy to send the unconscious Alina into the cat's arms.]

The cat tiptoed down and caught Alina, looking at Jojo with a puzzled expression: "Boss, so you haven't lost your mind after all?"

Aponia saw the threads of fate entwined around your head and slowly walked forward, saying, "Jojo, why would you rather die than do this?"

[You did not answer Aponia's question because you have no fear of death. Only by devouring the core of the Herrscher of Ice can you gain a portion of its power after death.]

You soar high into the sky, looking down upon the entire wasteland covered in ice and snow.
