My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

"Kiana, why does she want to talk to your mother? Do you know what happened between Sirin and your mother?" Fu Hua asked in Kiana's mind. As Sirin struggled, it became increasingly difficult for Fu Hua to suppress Sirin's consciousness.

“Cirin… probably wants to see her mother again too.” Kiana didn’t explain further. After all, both she and Sirin had complex feelings for Cecilia, much like they had for their mothers. However, compared to her own closeness with Cecilia, the situation between Sirin and Cecilia was more complicated.

Bai Chen landed back beside Kiana in mid-air and gave her a push on the back. In his plan, Kiana was the star of the ball, since his mission was to help her win the competition.

Although reluctant, Kiana knew that she had no chance of resisting Bai Chen now, and besides, things had come to this point, so she had no choice but to go.

However, someone beat them to it.

The man with long, flowing golden hair, Archbishop Otto of Destiny, gestured to Karen behind him to calm down before stepping alone into the center of the clock-shaped arena.

"Theresa, Cecilia, aren't you coming?"

Otto stood up straight and waved to the platform where Theresa and Cecilia were on his left.

Otto Apocalypse, the Archbishop of Destiny, has done many things over the years for his own ulterior motives that cannot be told to outsiders, many of which are outright sins according to the values ​​of most people.

Even members of Schicksal could not escape Otto's clutches, such as Theresa and Cecilia.

Theresa is one of the clones Otto created using Kallen's genes. Although Otto raised her well and treated her as family, the sense of justice he inherited from Kallen still made Theresa unable to accept Otto's human experimentation after discovering it.

Cecilia was a direct victim. During the second Great Collapse caused by Sirin, she used all her strength to successfully suppress Sirin, but ultimately died in a tactical nuclear missile launched on Otto's orders.

Meanwhile, Cecilia's most cherished daughter and husband also met with misfortune because of Otto. Siegfried's whereabouts are still unknown, and her real daughter, under Otto's control, has embarked on a completely different path from her original life.

Now, Otto, the one who started the tragedy, has extended an invitation to them.

Theresa and Cecilia exchanged glances. They hadn't expected Otto to be the first to step forward, but they both had many questions about him, and it would be perfect to resolve them now.

Holding the Oath of Judah in her hand, Theresa stood before Otto with mixed feelings.

"How have you been lately, my little Theresa?" Otto asked with a smile.

Theresa was speechless for a moment. After so many things had happened, even her best friend Himeko had died in the Herrscher of the Void tragedy created by Otto. She didn't know how to face Otto.

“Grandpa, it’s not very good,” Theresa replied softly. “The person you should be facing right now isn’t me, but Cecilia. Don’t you want to apologize to Cecilia?”

“Oh, our lovely Cecilia, I wonder if you know what happened after that.” Otto turned to Cecilia.

“I’ve heard Theresa talk to me about my death and your human experimentation.”

Cecilia's reaction was also direct and straightforward; she raised the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, pointing the tip of the gun at Otto's throat.

"Archbishop, you should apologize to me and the Valkyrie squad that died in the Second Honkai. And to Sirin, and all those children who died in the Babylonian Laboratory, dying in pain and torment for your selfish desires and your so-called righteousness."

The Divine Key, representing creation and destruction, began to emit a black light with destructive power. Honkai energy spread from Cecilia's body in all directions, and her long white hair moved without wind.

“I read some of Sirin’s memories. At that time, I thought that if I successfully resolved the Second Honkai Impact, I would definitely go back to Schicksal headquarters no matter what, beat you up, question you about the reasons for what happened, and seek some justice for those poor children.”

"Unfortunately, I couldn't find the opportunity. But today, thanks to an unexpected miracle, I can finally fulfill my wish."

"Now is the time for you to apologize, not for me, but for all those poor people who trusted you but were deceived by you!"

White flowers bloomed at her feet, seemingly representing boundless vitality yet containing the destructive power to wither everything. Cecilia gathered energy in her spear, and her face, which had always been gentle and soft-smiling, revealed an unprecedented expression of anger.

Although Sirin caused immense casualties as the Herrscher of the Void, she never resented Sirin. In her eyes, Sirin was just a pitiful child, a little girl who, because of suffering, lack of love, and not knowing how to love others, embarked on the path of destroying the world.

But she couldn't forgive Otto. He had so much power and strength, and there were better ways to achieve his goals, yet he chose to harm those innocent children.

Before being the Valkyrie of destiny, Cecilia was first and foremost a mother, and no mother can tolerate a murderer who harms her child.

The spear flashed like lightning. Bai Chen watched the spectacle unfolding in the square and clapped his hands happily, exclaiming, "Wow, this is fantastic!"

P.S.: Otto wasn't a saint, there's no denying that. But he was at least a ruthless and powerful figure, I don't think anyone would disagree with that.

Although he's not a good person, he's a capable one. The protagonist of this book isn't exactly a righteous character either, so this kind of teammate is quite suitable for the plot.

A great book on Python by a renowned expert.

Su Chen transmigrated to a world one year after the Great Collapse Disaster and successfully joined a charity organization called Destiny.

The former Valkyrie became a celebrated hero, and he became someone close to the hero.

Su Chen should have lived a peaceful and stable life.

However, he was bound to a system that allowed him to exchange lives with a Herrscher before the end of the Honkai!

???

Sirin: "Humans, I hate you, except for delicious food☆~"

Wendy: "It's nice to see you again, Bronya."

Alicia: "Wow, I'm so happy to see Mei here!"

……

In short, in one chaotic world after another, he began exchanging lives with the Herrscher.

Chapter 52 Mortals' Sense of Right and Wrong (To be continued)

Cecilia's gun was very fast.

When someone who rarely gets angry actually loses their temper, you realize how terrifying they can be, especially when it's a woman, a woman with formidable strength.

Black Abyss White Flower darted through the air like a fish, approaching Otto's chest at an unimaginable speed. However, just as Black Abyss White Flower was about to touch Otto's chest, and Void Treasury appeared in front of Otto's chest, a golden chain was stuck into the ground, coiling Black Abyss White Flower up.

Ordinary chains would certainly be no match for the Key of God; they would be completely eroded by the annihilation energy they carry as soon as they touch the Black Abyss White Flower.

However, these are not ordinary chains; they come from another key of God, the key of restraint, the oath of Judah.

Dressed in the attire of an urban beauty, and even wearing a new type of mechanical headset around her neck, Kallen Kaslana unfolded the Oath of Judah in her hand, wrapped one arm around Otto's waist and pulled him back, while the other hand gripped the top of the cross, pouring Honkai energy into it.

“I don’t know what Otto has been doing all these years while I’m gone, but since I’m here at this ball as his summoned one, I will not stand by and watch him get hurt in front of me.”

Karen pulled Otto behind her and spoke to Cecilia and Theresa in front of her.

Then, she turned her head to Otto's ear and pinched his waist hard: "When you get back, tell me honestly what exactly this experiment she was talking about was all about!"

"Okay, okay." Otto raised his hands, sighed with a helpless smile.

The Kaslana family possesses a special bloodline inherited from their ancestors, which makes them highly adaptable to Honkai energy and allows them to use special weapons, such as the Divine Key.

The most representative example is the Judgment of Heavenly Fire. For most people, this weapon is simply too powerful to unleash a single effective attack; they would be burned to death by the scorching flames before the attack could even take effect. However, members of the Kaslana family can not only withstand the Judgment of Heavenly Fire being drawn, but may even survive it after it is drawn.

Similarly, the Key of Binding, Judah's Oath, is also a terrifying weapon. Forged using the core of a Herrscher of Binding, it can eliminate or even completely dispel Honkai energy to some extent.

This makes Judah's Oath not only incredibly effective against Honkai Beasts, but also 200% effective in human combat against those who possess Honkai energy.

“Karen… indeed, you also have the oath of Judah.”

Theresa looked at the Divine Key in Kallen's hand without surprise. She already knew the origin of her identity; she was just a copy of Kallen. If even she could use the Oath of Judah, there was no reason why Kallen, as the original, couldn't.

Unexpectedly, Bai Chen actually copied the Oath of Judah. ​​This ability, which even allows two special items that are theoretically impossible to copy to exist in the same space-time, is increasingly terrifying to think about.

Kallen was quite interested in Theresa. Otto had never introduced Theresa to Kallen, but Kallen, with her own senses, felt a very strong sense of familiarity with Theresa and that they shared the same bloodline.

She even saw a resemblance between Theresa and herself when she was a child. If Kallen hadn't been unaware of the existence of cloning technology, she would have realized that Theresa was probably genetically connected to her.

"Whose descendant are you from the Kaslana family?" Karen asked.

Karen was Otto's fiancée before her death. According to medieval law, if Otto did not refuse the engagement after Karen's death, he would still have completed the wedding as agreed, registered her in the Kaslana family genealogy, and have engaged in actual genetic exchange with one of Karen's sisters.

This is also why she explained to herself why Theresa called Otto "Grandpa".

As the saying goes, "My daughter's daughter's daughter is still my daughter"... This kind of behavior, which seems extremely heinous now, was simply a well-known norm among nobles and the church in medieval society at that time.

“No, from a biological point of view, Saint Karen, I am your descendant,” Theresa said listlessly, her little face contorted in distress.

This situation put Theresa in a difficult position. Nearby were her grandfather, her best friend, and her genetic mother, surrounded by her students and a certain entertaining Herrscher.

The scene is complex, the relationships between the characters are chaotic, and Kallen and Cecilia are unaware of many inside stories. Theresa is now caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to fight or not, and at a loss for what to do.

Karen's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and she looked at Otto behind her with a strange gaze.

"Interesting, she actually thinks Otto had a child using her body." Perhaps influenced by Bai Chen, the Fu Hua consciousness projection within him watched the spectacle with him and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

Although Karen's lack of knowledge led to a misunderstanding, the magnanimous saint quickly readjusted her mindset.

"Let's put aside these unimportant things for now. Do you want to fight me?"

Karen, the saintess of Destiny, who was known for her terrifying strength and valiant fighting spirit, slammed the Oath of Judah into the ground, creating a crater several centimeters deep and cracking the ground.

With one foot planted on the oath of Judah and the other hand gripping the chain extending from the cross, she seemed to vaguely see swords and spears springing out from the cross, loudly questioning the two people opposite her.

To Kallen, Otto was, after all, Otto, and she had been summoned by him. Besides, she had already agreed to let Otto stand in the Herrscher of the Void's team. Once a decision was made, she wouldn't go back on it; this had always been Kallen's motto for survival.

Theresa sighed, while Cecilia shook the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, raised her lance, and assumed the standard dueling stance of the Valkyrie of Destiny towards Kallen.

“I’ve heard of you, Karen Kaslana. If it is you, it doesn’t preclude you from representing Otto. If you’ve decided to take his place and still believe his explanation for the suffering he caused, then let’s have a proper fight!”

P.S.: Regarding Theresa, this has to do with the fact that the writers for the anime/manga series kept changing, and each of them had their own ideas. I think there are still conflicts in the character settings, but Theresa is definitely more inclined to maintain the status quo than to explore new possibilities. However, it's not fair to say she harbors much resentment towards Otto...

Cecilia is definitely unhappy with Otto, just like if you're unhappy with your boss selling illegal products, you just beat him up.

As for Kallen, it can only be said that this is an early product, and her image doesn't quite connect with the later plot, so I've made some personal interpretations. That's all.

A book by a Python expert:

Purely lighthearted, slice-of-life, slow-paced story, sweet throughout with no angst, a harem story featuring witty banter and silly characters, guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

Chapter Fifty-Three: Flowers and Locks, Stars and Foxes

A fierce hurricane surged through the arena.

Guns and chains clashed, sparks flying. Both sides possessed considerable Honkai energy reserves and extensive combat experience. Cecilia, as the previous leader of the Schicksal Valkyrie squad, naturally had a wealth of combat experience, while Kallen had participated in the Church's Eastern Expedition and was the Church's strongest Valkyrie warrior of that era.

"Is this the strongest Valkyrie of the new era? Despite wielding such a powerful Divine Key as the Black Abyss White Flower, it seems that you haven't made any new progress in the past 500 years." Kallen used the cross in her hand as a shield and a hammer. The heavy and hard cross looked like it could split mountains and shatter rocks when she swung it.

"Using the cross to hold Cecilia's gun tip back," Karen asked with a smile.

Cecilia also changed her strategy, abandoning her thrusting attacks and instead using sweeping attacks to counter Kallen: "Your fighting method is really ancient. It was probably eliminated by Schicksal about 200 years ago. I'm afraid only old-fashioned people like you are still using this kind of old-fashioned technology."

Although the battle between the two sides was intense, they both exercised restraint, engaging only in a contest of martial arts skills. Neither the Black Abyss White Flower's destructive power nor the binding domain of the Judah's Oath was unleashed.

Two white figures intersected, and Honkai energy filled the entire space. The ground shattered, and debris from the platform, broken by the aftershocks of the battle, flew in all directions.

Kiana watched the battle on the field with bated breath, while Bai Chen's eyes lit up with golden starlight.

This is one way to use Honkai energy, a little trick taught to Bai Chen by Fu Hua's projection in the Feather Dust. In this way, one can more precisely observe the flow of Honkai energy, which will have unexpected effects when fighting against opponents who also possess Honkai energy.
