My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

The Days of Being a Simulated Herrscher Since the Collapse Author: White-Clad Scholar

Summary:

Bai Chen, a traveler carrying a simulator, discovers that he can only simulate a Herrscher in the Honkai world.

"Mei, you're just a cook, the real Herrscher of Thunder is me, Bai Chen!"

"Kiana, you mere paramecium, how can you compare to the Herrscher of the Void!"

"Motorcycle Duck, watch closely, this is how the Herrscher of Reason uses her power!"

"I've altered Shi Lu's consciousness; now she's my maid..."

A playboy, a plot destroyer, a capricious demon king, who gained the power to negate the world from outside of it all—I, Bai Chen, will walk the path of the Herrscher today, leaving the Herrschers with no way out.

go.

(It will include Honkai Impact 3, Genshin Impact, the prequel, Honkai Impact 2, and Star Railway; it's part of the MiGame family of games.)

It's not a harem story; it's mainly about Iron Fist's education and the teacher's care (laughs). The actual title of this book should be "My Illiterate Rehabilitation Plan to Make All Herrschers Study Hard in the Honkai World."

Chapter 1: I am the Herrscher of the Void

Explosions filled my ears.

Could this time the arrival be on the battlefield? Bai Chen's consciousness was not yet synchronized with his body, and he could only vaguely think about it.

"Stop! The Honkai Beast's third attack!" someone shouted in a daze.

Upon hearing the familiar words, even before he had fully regained consciousness, Bai Chen knew which world he had descended into this time.

A few months ago, he obtained a system called "Simulation Experience," which transported him to another world to experience different lives. The previous world was an apocalyptic world plagued by a zombie outbreak. Wielding two bullet guns with unlimited ammo, he managed to deliver the antidote and save the world within four months.

Those two "Hellfire" bullet guns with unlimited ammo are powered by soul power and mind, and are technology from hell. They can use the souls of killed creatures as fuel, and they are still lying in his system inventory.

Soon, Bai Chen regained control of his body. Without thinking, he rolled on the ground toward the corner of the wall, and two short-barreled shotguns painted in bright red instantly appeared in his hands.

He cautiously looked around. The room had metal walls and tables, chairs, and beds fixed to the floor, making it look like a ship. Although gunshots, shouts, and crashing sounds continued to come from outside, no enemies had broken into the room. It seemed the ship's defenses were quite strong, and no one had breached the lines to infiltrate the interior.

[The environment of this world has been scanned and confirmed to be a unique disaster: collapse.]

The system notifications, visible only to Bai Chen, floated past his eyes.

[Character model loaded, simulation conditions confirmed. Simulation type selectable: Herrscher.]

[Start the simulation now?]

"Refuse. Begin environmental scanning to confirm our current location," Bai Chen said calmly.

[Environmental scan initiated. Landing location confirmed: Hyperion.]

"As expected of the Honkai Impact 3rd world. This time, the simulated race is limited to Herrschers, what a great start." After confirming there was no danger, Bai Chen put away his Mist Gun and muttered to himself.

This simulation experience system selects a special race from a world for each simulation experience. Last time, the race it randomly selected was a hybrid of human and demon, and this time it randomly selected a Herrscher experience card.

"Start the simulation experience."

[Simulation experience initiated, random selection in progress—Simulation confirmed, Herrscher of the Void.]

The changes happened silently. His body, which was originally just an ordinary human body, was instantly transformed. As his body changed, a Herrscher Core representing the Herrscher of the Void was generated within him, and his body was also modified by the system into a physique most suitable for containing the power of the Herrscher.

Three seconds later, a brand new Herrscher of the Void appeared on the Hyperion. However, the appearance of this Herrscher did not cause a Great Honkai, because the Herrscher that appeared here was not from the Honkai Will, but a different individual created by a higher power.

Information about the use of power unfolded in Bai Chen's mind as the Herrscher Core was generated. He briefly closed his eyes, and his originally iron-gray pupils transformed into the Herrscher of the Void's signature cross-shaped pupils. The massive Honkai energy brought by the Herrscher of the Void Core spread around him.

[Simulation Mission: Defeat the Herrscher of the Void.]

The simulated tasks issued by the system are not mandatory, and the rewards for completion are rather random. Bai Chen's dual Hellfire pistols are a task reward, but the pile of candy in the space, and the stockings worn by the beautiful girl, are also task rewards. The latter is even significantly more difficult than the dual pistols task!

However, Bai Chen usually completes the tasks, since he doesn't have much else to do.

"Let me see where our Kiana is... Oh, I found her! What a coincidence that it's at this time!"

The power of the Herrscher of the Void was activated, and a black and gold spatial gate appeared. Bai Chen stepped out of the spatial gate, and his figure instantly disappeared from the Hyperion.

In the vast, boundless imaginary space, the projection of the Hyperion outside became the only point of contact. A woman clad in fiery red armor wielded a greatsword engulfed in flames, deflecting one aerial spear after another as they were fired from afar.

Her body was covered in wounds, and the blood-red patterns left by Honkai energy erosion writhed around her like earthworms. The sturdy armor had lost its original shape after multiple collisions. In fact, the armor was still able to stay on her body not because of the material of the armor, but because of the Herrscher of Flame core embedded in it.

Bai Chen saw her the moment he entered the Imaginary Space. Himeko Murata, the Valkyrie of St. Freya Academy, was the only warrior in this world of divine chaos who stood at the center of the world as a truly ordinary human. The crimson armor she wore, created using Herrscher cores, gave her the power to face the Herrschers directly, but it also consumed her already limited lifespan.

“Foolish human, what are you still holding on to? You are about to die. How dare you use the power of a god with your mere mortal body?”

The Herrscher girl, Sirin, soared through the air, her white hair flowing, her expression arrogant and haughty. Behind her were wings made of Honkai energy and countless spatial gates that were gradually opening. Behind the spatial gates were countless Honkai beasts she had created; if they were placed in the Imaginary Dimension, they could completely exhaust the woman's already limited power.

However, the Herrscher of the Void's pride made her disdain this tactic. She walked step by step toward the woman below, releasing one Void Spear after another around her, toying with the woman as if she were playing with a lab rat.

Originally, things would have continued along their original trajectory. Himeko Murata would have found an opportunity to awaken Kiana's will within Sirin's body using an inhibitor, and she herself would have died in the Imaginary Dimension. However, an unexpected situation disrupted the current state of affairs.

A portal suddenly appeared in front of Himeko, turning the Void Spear that was aimed at her back at Sirin in mid-air!

"Who is it?!" Sirin was shocked to discover that the Herrscher power that should have belonged to her was not released by her. Even the queen's pride was taken aback.

A handsome young man with shoulder-length black hair, dressed in the most ordinary casual clothes, appeared between Sirin and Himeko. He had a face more beautiful than any work of art by a sculptor or painter, and a pair of golden star-like eyes exactly like Sirin's.

He spread his hands out to Celine, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of respect.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Chen, I'm 23 years old, the Herrscher of the Void, and I'm single. I graduated from Peking University with a bachelor's degree in Physics from the Guanghua School of Management, a program for gifted children. I also have a master's degree in Optoelectronic Engineering, a master's degree in Philosophy, and dual doctorates in General Physics and Fundamental Mathematics. I don't smoke, and I only drink alcohol in moderation. I go to bed at 11 p.m. and get eight hours of sleep every night. Before bed, I read four cutting-edge research papers, drink a glass of warm milk with sugar, and then do twenty minutes of stretching exercises. I fall asleep immediately after getting into bed, never leaving fatigue for the next day. Even the doctors say I'm perfectly normal."

As Bai Chen introduced himself in a familiar manner, a strange aura began to emanate from him, making even Xilin feel pressured: "So how dare you, a mere paramecium who can't even pass an exam, hasn't graduated high school, and doesn't even have a birth certificate or any other identification documents, call yourself the Herrscher of the Void in front of me?!"

"Get back to class!"

Chapter Two: Sorry, You're Really Weak

Bai Chen, controlling his Herrscher powers which he had not yet fully mastered, looked down at the school dropout girl below.

He possessed an inexplicable radiance, and his gaze towards the girl was filled with pity and kindness. It was the gaze of a top student, accomplished and accomplished, looking down upon those incompetent juniors still struggling to prepare for the college entrance examination, who hadn't even memorized the formulas by the time they entered the examination hall.

[Herrscher of the Void Simulation Requirement: Pride]

Each simulation experience has a theme, representing the main personality traits of the character being simulated. This personality trait is like a reward for a task; it's not fixed and has nothing to do with the simulated character. It's simply a theme randomly selected by the system.

However, the theme of this simulation was exceptionally suitable.

"I don't know what you're talking about, you insignificant human. Although you did steal my power using some despicable and shameless method, a falsehood is always a falsehood. You're just a mere mortal, yet you dare to call yourself the Herrscher of the Void?!" Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void who was controlling Kiana's body, was completely enraged. She sensed another Herrscher core on Bai Chen, but she was absolutely certain that it was just a fake made by a mortal.

"How dare a shoddy imitation blaspheme against the gods!" she roared.

Unlike when she toyed with Himeko, this time Sirin was truly intent on killing. Dozens of Void Spears suddenly appeared, circling around Bai Chen's body, and then compressed and shot out in an instant, about to pierce Bai Chen into a tattered rag.

"Watch out!" Himeko Murata didn't know Bai Chen's identity, but she could tell that Bai Chen was on her side. Seeing the boy in danger, she couldn't help but shout a warning.

However, Bai Chen neither dodged nor flinched, but simply smiled and let the spears of the sub-space pass through his body.

Yes, it passed through, as if passing through a phantom projection. The Spear of Subspace passed through Bai Chen's body, hitting him but leaving no injury.

“Superstring theory.” Bai Chen opened his arms to Sirin, who looked at him with disbelief, as if looking at a pitiful clown. “You’re not the Herrscher of the Void at all, Sirin. The moment I became the Herrscher of the Void, I discovered that as long as I apply the spatial concept of M-Theory, assuming space is eleven dimensions, and then substitute it with the empirical formula for the values ​​of world space in the Herrscher’s core memory, I can deduce the amount of Honkai energy’s impact on space through formulas and values, instantly completing dimensional upgrades and dimensional travel in different dimensions. Of course, even I can’t truly deduce M-Theory in a short time, but it can still be used as a basis for empirical formula deduction.”①

"What—what are you saying!"

One after another, the spears of the sub-space appeared, but they couldn't affect Bai Chen in the slightest. Xilin stared angrily at the man before her, unable to comprehend how he had done it.

She's clearly the Herrscher of the Void, so why can't she invade the space around this man?!

"Sigh." Bai Chen sighed.

He used to think the main characters in games were great in every way except for their poor academic performance. He considered it a disaster that world-class organizations like Schicksal and World Serpent had heirs and core members without even a bachelor's degree. He couldn't really control it before, but now that he was in the Honkai world, even a Herrscher had to sit down and study!

A massive amount of Honkai energy spread from his body, and the space below, seemingly transformed into a giant sheet of paper, appeared in mid-air with countless coordinate systems and mathematical symbols. Thanks to the Honkai energy's enhancement of his brain, coupled with the analysis of this world's numerical parameters within the Herrscher core, it was like an open-book exam. As long as one knew how to flexibly apply formulas and calculate quickly, theoretical values ​​could be transformed into reality under the miraculous Honkai energy.

“Watch closely, Sirin. This is an application of the Hilbert space projection effect. Although it's just an important generalization of Euclidean space in mathematics, as long as the power of the Herrscher of the Void is incorporated, the entire space can be transformed into a practical application.”②

An invisible force appeared in space. After the calculation was completed, as the Herrscher of the Void's ability was activated, Sirin found that her body had lost control. It was as if space was frozen. Her entire body's Honkai energy and the parts of her body containing Honkai energy were locked in a superimposed state of space, making her completely unable to move.

"Honkai energy is essentially a kind of wave energy. You've been stacked by the quantum tunneling effect. The formula is below. A high school student should be able to solve it. Take a look for yourself." After Bai Chen finished speaking, he ignored Sirin, who was locked in mid-air, and walked towards Himeko behind him.

"Damn it, damn it! What kind of things are these mere humans!" Sirin began to try to use her powers to break the seal on her body. Of course, this was not difficult for her. She had the materials for the key in her hands. As a genuine Herrscher, as long as she knew how to make the key, breaking free would be an instantaneous matter.

Well, as long as you know the formula and algorithm.

She shared memories with Kiana, and she did try to search her mind for things she had learned in class before, but the only things she found were sleeping, playing games, and Mei, Mei, and Mei.

If Mei were here, she could definitely untie it...

Himeko Murata looked at Bai Chen approaching her with a complicated expression. She knew very well that Kiana's core as the Herrscher of the Void was genuine, but the man in front of her seemed to be a true Herrscher of the Void as well. Moreover, compared to Kiana, who was just a child, his method of using Herrscher powers was simply... terrifying.

What if he also becomes an enemy of humanity—

"You're lying to her. We can't teach high school students such difficult material; even I, as a teacher, don't know it." Himeko forced a smile.

Bai Chen walked to her side: "But I learned it in high school. You won't live much longer in this condition. Do you have any medicine with you? Give yourself an injection, maybe you can hold on for a few more days."

As the price for a mortal to drive the Herrscher core, Himeko, whose body was already severely corrupted by Honkai, is now on the verge of collapse. To put it bluntly, she is already dead. She is still alive now, entirely thanks to the amplification of the Herrscher core and her own will.

Without further ado, Himeko took out a vial of injection medicine from a lining of her armor, but instead of using it on herself, she handed it to Bai Chen.

“You’re right, she’s not the Herrscher of the Void, she’s Kiana Kaslana, my student. So please, save her, bring her back.”

P.S.: In this book's setting, the Herrscher core contains data analysis of all relevant powers in the world, much like a user manual left by the creator god.

I'm busy during the day, so I'll update tonight. I'll check the data first; if the growth is decent, I'll update sooner and go find some pretty girls to test the waters!

Chapter Three, and the number of tests has increased again.

Bai Chen looked at the potion handed to him. He remembered the general plot of this place. This should be the only special Honkai energy inhibitor in the world, the "Godslayer Spear". It is the only inhibitor in the world that can suppress the Honkai erosion on Himeko's body. It is also the only way to awaken Kiana's consciousness in Sirin's body and suppress the will of the Herrscher of the Void.

Although the Herrscher Core had been used excessively after the armor shattered, even with suppressants, Himeko's body couldn't be completely saved, but at least she could hold on until she received treatment from a medical institution. However, without this "God-Slaying Spear," she wouldn't have survived to escape the Imaginary Dimension.

But Bai Chen said nothing and silently took the inhibitor from Ji Zi's hand.

He examined the syringe in his hand. Sure enough, the special syringe for the inhibitor clearly indicated the usage method and dosage. However, to Bai Chen's disappointment, perhaps because the "Godslayer Spear" was too valuable, there was no extra dosage for this medicine; to take effect, it had to be fully injected.

This thwarted Bai Chen's plan to split the medicine into smaller parts. He had intended to separate a portion of the inhibitor to help Himeko stabilize her condition first, and then inject the rest into Sirin. The effect of this medicine certainly wouldn't be enough to directly awaken Kiana, but if combined with the Iron Fist physical therapy to desensitize Kiana using knowledge, it wouldn't be a problem.
