My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

At the same time, one of her eyes returned to its original clear sky blue. She suddenly pushed Cecilia away, her body arched, and she made a different sound that didn't belong to her.

"Sirin, what are you going to do to Cecilia's mother?!" Kiana, with Fu Hua's help, had broken through Sirin's illusion and successfully arrived at the surface of consciousness. As soon as she took over her body's senses, she immediately discovered that Sirin was holding her body and embracing Cecilia!

In Kiana's mind, Sirin was still the terrifying Herrscher who wanted to destroy humanity, harboring intense hatred and hostility towards the entire human society. Therefore, she did not believe that Sirin would do anything good for Cecilia.

"Do I need to tell you what I'm going to do? You created imposter, I am the true owner of this body!" Sirin didn't give Kiana a friendly look either. In her view, Kiana was just a thief who took over her body while she was asleep.

And now this thief has brazenly occupied her house and locked her up!

"Go back to your core, Herrscher! My consciousness, my body, are entirely under my own control!"

Although Sirin has improved during this period of study, Kiana, along with Fu Hua and Feather Dust who specializes in the mental realm, are inherently more powerful than Sirin. As the main learner, Kiana's growth is also superior to Sirin's.

Out of concern for her mother, Kiana unleashed a powerful mental force, forcefully squeezing Sirin's consciousness back into her body.

"Hmph, fool. The residual effects of the God-Slaying Spear are about to fade, and your cheap squad leader doesn't have much power left. This body will return to me sooner or later, so why rush it?"

Sirin didn't offer any resistance, and after leaving a message, she returned to the Herrscher core inside Kiana's body.

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief after banishing Sirin's consciousness and regaining her body. Looking up, she saw her adoptive mother smiling at her.

“Ah, Mom… no, Cecilia-senpai… I mean, um, Siegfried…”

Kiana already knows that Sirin has completely revealed her origins and background, so she doesn't know how to face Cecilia.

Although she always referred to herself as the daughter of Siegfried and Cecilia, Kiana didn't know how to address or introduce herself in front of Cecilia.

But Cecilia didn't give her a chance to hesitate. In fact, last night, under Cecilia's questioning, Desirea confessed everything that had happened to her husband and daughter since she died in the Second Honkai Impact.

The unfortunate event did make Cecilia a little sad, but this sadness did not prevent her from accepting Sirin and Kiana.

Moreover, compared to the unruly Sirin, Kiana is a much more obedient and endearing child, isn't she?

With her head buried among the majestic mountains, Kiana drank an entire bottle of face wash.

"Alright, you're all my children. Seeing that you're still healthy and so energetic, I'm relieved." Cecilia patted Kiana on the back.

Kiana snuggled up to Cecilia and rubbed against her, whether she was secretly pleased or not remains unknown.

Unfortunately, the touching scene of the mother and daughter reuniting only lasted a short time. Bai Chen, having finished her coffee, walked out of the woods in the park, ruining this hard-won heartwarming moment.

"It was such a touching scene, it brought tears to my eyes. But we're all grown up now, shouldn't we get down to business after this emotional moment?"

The garden formed in the imaginary space began to change, transforming from the original street scene into a magnificent building resembling the ancient Roman Colosseum.

“Cecilia, I didn’t summon you just to have you chat. Kiana has been getting tutoring from me for so long, as a parent, why don’t you come and check on your child’s learning progress yourself?”

Chapter Sixty-One: Mother and Daughter Fighting, Clanging and Banging (3k)

When Cecilia was summoned, Bai Chen had always wanted to see Kiana and his mother fight.

There wasn't any particular reason; it was probably just a bit of a joke. After all, if Bai Chen wanted Kiana to complete the mission, she had to defeat all six summoned warriors, and among them, Cecilia was the most suitable for Kiana to practice against.

After all, they are mother and daughter, so it's impossible for her to kill Kiana. Moreover, Cecilia, as the former strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, can teach Kiana a lesson.

Bai Chen himself is not suitable to be a sparring partner. Although he has some fighting techniques left over from the previous world, which came from mission rewards, if it really comes down to a fight, without using his powers and Honkai energy, he probably can't beat a B-rank Valkyrie.

However, if he were to use his powers, the gap between him and Kiana would be too great, and even if he held back, it wouldn't serve any training purpose.

A higher-level ability has absolute suppression over a lower-level ability within the same system; no matter how dense the ink droplet is, it will simply disappear without a trace when thrown into the sea.

“That’s certainly a good suggestion.” Before Kiana could speak, Cecilia smiled, patted Kiana’s hand, and stepped back to create some distance between them.

"Bai Chen, although I don't know why you summoned us to hold this wonderful competition, I still want to thank you for allowing me, who died long ago, to return to this era and to see Sirin and Kiana again."

Cecilia raised her right hand high into the air. Through a door that Bai Chen had deliberately opened, outside the imaginary space, in the inn where the Far East Branch members were staying, the spear Black Abyss White Flower responded to its master's call and fell into her hand.

"Mom, do we really have to fight?" Kiana was still a little reluctant to fight her mother, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

“It’s just a friendly spar. Let your mother see how much you’ve improved over the years.” Cecilia raised her spear and assumed a forward-stepping stance.

As a family that inherits Honkai energy and has always fought against Honkai, it has always been a tradition of the Schariac family for the elders to pass on their lifelong martial arts skills and dedication to the next generation.

Cecilia's mother passed away when she was young, and she regretted not having the opportunity to personally teach her daughter and learn the family's legacy. But now that this unexpected opportunity had come her way, she naturally wouldn't let it slip by.

Unlike her previous battle with Kallen, Cecilia, who had fought Sirin and ultimately died in that battle, clearly understood the power that a Herrscher of the Void should possess.

Therefore, she used the sacred blood inherited from the Shaniat family from the very beginning.

A strong stench of blood emanated from Cecilia's body, and driven by Honkai energy, a small amount of her blood flowed into the Black Abyss White Flower, causing the originally flawless white gun to suddenly glow with a hazy crimson light.

In contrast, a pure white enveloped Cecilia's body, imbued with the power to heal all wounds and illnesses. This power of creation formed Cecilia's Valkyrie armor, and the sacred runes representing the power of life spread across Cecilia's body.

The current Cecilia is not the Valkyrie who was in a weakened state during her battle with Sirin and failed to reach her full potential. Summoned by the False Book, she appears in the world with her strongest power and at her peak, making her a complete S-rank Valkyrie.

"Come on, Kiana, show your mom your grades!"

With one foot planted on the ground, immense power was channeled into the earth, causing the stone platform to explode. Half of her body burned, steaming with blood mist, while the other half blossomed with a bouquet of holy white energy. The woman, who resembled a god or demon, vanished from the spot.

There were no fancy techniques or any slowing down; it was simply a knight's charge that unleashed power to its fullest extent, enough to tear everything apart.

"Ding!"

The Herrscher of the Void's power was unleashed to the limit of Kiana's reach. Whether it was Kiana's imagination or not, this time, the power in the core seemed to go exceptionally smoothly, as if Sirin also wanted her to defeat her mother in front of her.

The blood-red lightning-like attack pierced through Kiana's body. No matter how powerful the attack was in the real world, Kiana, whose body was intangible and who had hidden in another dimension, could not be harmed by the attack from a different dimension.

Just as Kiana was exiting her dimensional walk and preparing to summon the Void Spear outside of space, Cecilia abruptly braked behind her in an unimaginable manner, stopping her missed charge and using the momentum of her turn to unleash a heavy sweeping attack.

Unable to dodge in time, Kiana could only enter dimensional walk again, hiding in the spatial crevices to escape the attack.

Then came a flurry of stabs, as if by a sudden storm. The Black Abyss White Flower, which should have been incredibly heavy, was handled by Cecilia as easily as wielding a toothpick or chopstick.

Kiana was unable to maintain a state of dimensional wandering for an extended period of time, or more accurately, when she was in another spatial dimension, she lost the ability to interfere with the real dimension.

Unable to find an opportunity to retaliate amidst the fierce attacks, Kiana had no choice but to teleport, appearing about 40 meters behind Cecilia.

Cecilia, who had been focusing all her attention on Kiana, lunged forward with unimaginable speed the moment Kiana completed her teleportation and appeared behind her, sending the tip of Black Abyss White Flower's spear piercing Kiana's chest once again.

"Their combat skills are far inferior." Bai Chen sighed as he sat in the audience.

He wasn't a combat master, but he could still see the difference between Kiana and his mother. Kiana was clearly much stronger than Cecilia in terms of ability, yet she was completely suppressed and didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Kiana's response to the sudden attack was to teleport again, this time not to the ground, but to appear in mid-air. Although Cecilia also jumped immediately, the pull of gravity gave Kiana the opportunity to retrieve the Void Spear.

The spear tip collided with the Void Spear, and Kiana finally managed to block for the first time. Using the immense force transmitted from the spear, she flew backward rapidly in mid-air, creating distance between herself and Cecilia.

"Ding!"

The strings in the space vibrated, and Kiana remembered what Bai Chen had said to her when he tutored her a few nights ago.

"A Herrscher should abandon human fighting methods. Your greatest advantage is the power to change the world. Try every means to use it, and the farther away from your goal, the better. If possible, you can even use the moon in the sky to smash the entire earth."

In mid-air, Kiana tore through space once more, retreating away from Cecilia. The experienced Valkyrie, of course, wasn't willing to relinquish her advantage in close combat. Honkai energy erupted beneath her feet, creating steps of creative power in the air, chasing after Kiana as she ascended into the sky.

Suddenly, a dozen or so spatial portals appeared in the air, and from within them emerged a dozen or so heavy machine guns.

The machine gun fired, but the surging bullets did not follow their original trajectories toward Cecilia. Instead, they were captured by another spatial ripple and, carrying extremely high kinetic energy, were transmitted into Cecilia's body.

Kiana tried to predict Cecilia's location during the teleportation, aiming to place the bullets in Cecilia's inevitable path. However, Cecilia seemed to have anticipated Kiana's plan; instead of proceeding in the original direction, she dodged the bullets that had teleported her to the side.

"Tsk!"

At this moment, if Kiana could use the Void Spear and make it ethereal, its attack area and range would be much larger than a bullet, at least enough to disrupt Cecilia's movements. However, Kiana is not a complete Herrscher of the Void, and she must conserve every bit of her power and authority.

"Then let's try this!"

Kiana conjured a sphere of light in her hand, containing a small portion of her Honkai energy. She clapped her hands together, causing the sphere to expand in all directions, its circular area completely enveloping Cecilia as she charged towards her.

The moment Cecilia was enveloped by Honkai energy, she realized that her direction of travel had been changed. She was clearly rushing forward, but after traveling about a meter, she found herself back at her starting point.

Sirin also possesses a similar ability, distorting space to form an infinite corridor. However, that requires creating an entire imaginary space and then recompressing it, consuming an enormous amount of power, and the creation is crude, essentially a stack of spatial walls and an abuse of Herrscher authority.

Bai Chen improved upon this and included it in the three-year Void Law and five-year simulation materials he gave to Kiana, naming it Spatial Overlay. It allows for a similar effect to be achieved on a small scale using minimal Honkai energy.

Of course, it can be expanded upon, but that's something Kiana can't accomplish.

However, to Kiana's surprise, after discovering that she was trapped in the spatial stack, Cecilia immediately raised the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand and stabbed it fiercely towards the empty space in front of her!

Cecilia's holy blood still covers the Black Abyss White Flower, and apart from the holy blood, the originally white Black Abyss White Flower has turned into a deep, dark black.

The Black Abyss White Flower, which contains the powers of creation and annihilation, revealed its annihilation form, capable of destroying everything, under Cecilia's control.

"Open!" With the Valkyrie's shout, Kiana's spatial stacking was actually shattered by the annihilating power of the Black Abyss White Flower!

To Kiana's astonishment, Cecilia raised the Holy Lance, poised to throw it.

"Space may be powerful, but no matter who it is, anyone who uses their abilities must rely on Honkai energy to use their power. And in this world, once you reach the top, there are countless things that can destroy Honkai energy. Remember this, Kiana!"

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Power of Learning, The Mage Who Reads Bars

Cecilia has possessed the Black Abyss White Flower for many years, and her understanding of this Divine Key is something Kiana, who has never held a Divine Key, cannot know.

While suspended in mid-air, Cecilia arched her body, released her spear, and sent the Black Abyss White Flower, carrying holy blood, hurtling towards Kiana above.

In the era before humans possessed long-range firearms, the spear, as a throwing weapon, was prevalent for many years. For the ancient and distinguished Shaniat family, the javelin has always been their most powerful means of attack.

Kiana could clearly feel a Honkai energy, like a fixed channel, connecting her to the Black Abyss White Flower. This was an ability Cecilia developed based on the Black Abyss White Flower. As a Key of Creation, the Black Abyss White Flower could lock onto the aura of a creature and launch a ranged attack that would not deviate from its target.

Once the lock is established, even if the locked life hides in another space, the Creation Key will not lose its target.

After all, this is the power of the Herrscher of Death, and only the Herrscher can oppose the Herrscher.

"This is just the beginning!"

Kiana reached out her hand to the Black Abyss White Flower rushing towards her, and a transparent light membrane appeared in the path of the Black Abyss White Flower.

During the previous month or so, when Bai Chen was tutoring Kiana, in addition to compiling theoretical knowledge based on his understanding of the Herrscher of the Void, he also took Kiana to the Imaginary Space to demonstrate some special uses to her.

Limited by time, and without enough room for the girl to slowly learn all the basic courses from scratch, she could only make up for her lack of basic knowledge by taking shortcuts.

Bai Chen's ultimate goal was still to help Kiana win the match, so although he didn't intend to directly interfere in Kiana's battle, he left her a significant backdoor.

In every battle, he would send Kiana and her opponent into the Imaginary Space, where the Herrscher of the Void has a natural advantage. Not only can she more easily construct various objects here, but she can even reproduce some incomprehensible things.

Moreover, this is an imaginary space created by Bai Chen, which is like an open-book exam for Kiana, who often comes here!

When the tip of Black Abyss White Flower's spear pierced the light membrane, the originally fast-moving spear seemed to be clamped by some enormous force, emitting a creaking sound as if it could not bear the weight. Although it successfully eroded and broke through the light membrane by relying on the power of annihilation, it still lost most of its speed.

A simplified version of the spatial repulsion field. The principle is to alter the spatial parameters within a planar area, making this area "heavier" than other parts of the space, thus generating an additional gravitational field. Anything attempting to penetrate this space must overcome the significant gravitational difference caused by the spatial anomalies.

The downside is that it requires calculating minor variables on-site each time, meaning it's a skill that requires preparation before loading.

Four consecutive repulsion fields appeared between Kiana and the Black Abyss White Flower, and after the spear barely broke through the third field, it finally succumbed to the pressure and fell downwards.
