My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

While both can manipulate gravity and attraction, Eden's Star's control over these aspects is far inferior to Bai Chen's. Moreover, Welt is not yet at his peak.

Eden's Star was operating at full power, seemingly attempting to use its immense gravity to warp the surrounding space in order to counteract Bai Chen's influence on space.

However, before Bai Chen could make a move, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck from behind him towards Walter on the opposite side.

Raiden Mei didn't know Welt Yang. She didn't even know that Welt existed. She only knew from the journey that Welt was the First Herrscher and that he had sealed the Sea of ​​Quanta for some reason.

Therefore, she showed no mercy to Walter, using magnetic force to instantly disintegrate Walter's remaining mechanical army, and kneading Walter's mechanical exoskeleton together like clay.

Even without a physical body, it would be a pipe dream for Welt to deal with Bai Chen, let alone now that there is a Herrscher of Thunder who is specifically designed to counter his mechanical troops.

"This is the First Herrscher? He doesn't even have a physical body yet. What appears here is just an electromagnetic projection." Mei said with some doubt after trying to control Welt's exoskeleton.

Inside the crushed mechanical armor, there was no physical flesh and blood, only a solitary Herrscher core. The brown-haired man that everyone saw was merely a spiritual shadow.

"It's just a dying illusion, Mei. Your magnetic field should be able to interfere with the spiritual body. Try wrapping your power around the core's surface and then throwing it into the world bubble where Bronya is below."

Bai Chen was very satisfied with Mei's performance. Among the three main characters, Raiden Mei was the first to face the collapsing reality and also the one who grew the fastest. As long as she didn't go astray, she was far more decisive than the other two girls.

Mei quickly figured out the trick: a seal made of electromagnetic field covered the surface of the Herrscher core, pressing Welt Yang's mental will back into the core.

If Mei's control over electromagnetic fields were more precise and detailed, she could even directly destroy Welt Yang's spiritual entity residing in the Herrscher core through resonance. However, Bai Chen does not intend to completely annihilate Welt, as he still has a special role to play in his future plans.

Bai Chen reached out and took the Herrscher of Reason core in his hand. It was an extremely beautiful core, looking like a piece of quartz with a faint blue hue, but containing a vast power capable of changing the world.

This Herrscher core is now without an owner. After losing his body, Welt Yang is no longer a true Herrscher. At least, when Bai Chen first met Welt, his simulation system did not prompt him to start a simulation.

Bai Chen tossed the Herrscher of Reason's core in his hand, feeling its weight, before throwing it towards the world bubble where Bronya was below.

Bronya may have many possibilities, but in the present moment, in this real world, her greatest possibility is to become the Herrscher of Reason.

Welt's consciousness has been sealed, and Joachim, remaining in the World Bubble, can only allow Bronya, who has passed the World Bubble's test, to access the core of the Herrscher of Reason, according to the established rules. Soon, a new Herrscher of Reason will be born, and Bai Chen is confident that he will definitely train this newly emerged Herrscher of Reason to become the strongest Herrscher of Reason of this era.

Becoming a Herrscher takes a lot of time, and the trials left by Welt are not easy to pass. During this time, Kiana, who had been left outside, followed the trail left by Bai Chen and found him with information about the Gem of Desire.

She carried a large backpack containing a finely crafted tablet computer and a metal box connected to it. There were also numerous written documents, a precautionary measure to prevent interference with communications within the Quantum Sea.

"Hmm... what a coincidence, this place is not far from where we are."

Using the tools Kiana brought, Bai Chen quickly located the Gem of Desire after a few simple operations.

That place wasn't far from the world bubble where Welt was. Perhaps the direction Welt was heading before was the destination of the Gem of Desire.

Is there some special place near the Gem of Desire?

"Let's go. Before Bronya completes her Herrscher transformation, I'll go get the Gem of Desire first." Bai Chen gestured for Mei and the others to wait here for Bronya to complete her transformation, while he headed ahead to where the Gem of Desire was located.

Moving through the Sea of ​​Quanta is no easy task; a slight misstep can easily lead to losing one's bearings. However, Bai Chen performed several long-distance spatial transfers and quickly found what he wanted in the chaotic space.

It was an enormous bubble world, and according to the instruments, the Lust for Gems was located within it.

However, outside that world bubble, layers of snake skin, exuding a chilling aura, surrounded the outer perimeter of the world bubble. The coldness emanating from the snake skin was so intense that Bai Chen felt even the space itself was affected.

Although the temperature certainly hasn't reached absolute zero, it's still an extremely low temperature that would stop most molecular activity.

Before the Herrscher of Ice appeared, there was only one person in the world who could create such low temperatures.

"So this is Kevin's territory. That makes sense, after all, he's the snake that Welt trapped in the Sea of ​​Quanta." Bai Chen immediately understood who was in that world bubble; the most difficult man to deal with in the entire Honkai world was inside.

"I really hope we don't fight. I'm counting on you to resurrect those brilliant scientists," Bai Chen muttered, stepping into the world bubble.

Chapter 83 Kevin, who yearns to change the world

The feeling of passing through the world bubble is like passing through a hard soap bubble.

Bai Cheng reached out and grabbed around, feeling as if he could touch the barrier of the world. However, the places he touched were empty; it was just a wild guess.

It was pitch black all around. Although it was located inside the world bubble, it was clear that the owner of this place did not want him to destroy the small world he had carefully constructed.

"What an uninvited guest."

In the darkness, a cold male voice came from directly ahead.

"Don't say that, Kevin. You'll soon be welcoming me as a guest." A golden ball of light appeared in Bai Chen's hand. He didn't have the habit of talking in the dark, and he wasn't some lost-parents Batman.

The golden light illuminated the surroundings, revealing a desolate, circular space filled with darkness, devoid of any light or even gravity. Inside, only two men floated in mid-air.

The person standing opposite Bai Chen had short, silver-white hair and a pair of icy eyes. This wasn't a metaphor; if you looked closely, you could indeed see a thin layer of ice film over those icy blue eyes.

White frost surrounded him, an irreversible aftereffect of his undergoing the super-transformation surgery and repeatedly developing the Honkai Beast factor within his body.

His body temperature was always below zero, and he was always surrounded by an lingering chill, which deprived him of the right to hug others, because the only woman he wanted to hug was just an ordinary scholar who would die if hurt.

This person's name is Kevin Kaslana, the leader of the Thirteen Heroes of the Last Century, the last warrior of human civilization, a terrifying being who survived battles with several Herrschers and is still alive today.

Bai Chen even suspected that the reason he was imprisoned here by Welt was simply because he didn't want to wait for the Herrschers to appear in the real world, and therefore stayed in the Quantum Sea for a vacation. Otherwise, with Welt's incomplete Herrscher of Reason abilities, how could he compare to Kevin?

"Another Herrscher... This feels like the Herrscher of the Void?" Kevin had been in contact with the cores of all the Herrschers, from the initial Law of Reason to the final Law of the End, so he knew what kind of fluctuations the cores of different Herrschers had.

“It is one of the Laws of Emptiness,” Bai Chen corrected.

“Impossible. A Herrscher can only appear once. This is an absolute theory I came to after glimpsing the Honkai Will. Either you are not the Herrscher of the Void, or you are the only one.” Kevin stared intently at Bai Chen. He was different from the others. He had wielded the Judgment of Heavenly Fire to kill one Herrscher after another. He had even heard their last words when he killed them and made contact with the Honkai Will behind their deaths.

Every Herrscher's death is a mystery, especially after the tragedy of the Herrscher of Covenant. No one knows how Kevin killed the Herrscher of Covenant, nor what he discovered when he killed her.

Even Otto, who had also witnessed the Will of Honkai, could not match Kevin in his understanding of the essence of the Herrscher.

He sensed a strange disharmony in Bai Chen, unlike any Herrscher he had ever encountered. It wasn't a lack of ability; Bai Chen's Honkai energy fluctuations even surpassed those of the Herrscher of Restraint who caused the Restraint Tragedy, making him one of the strongest Herrschers.

What's truly different is that behind him, there seems to be no subtle connection to the will of collapse, nor a sense of destiny as if he were being manipulated and spied upon.

“I once had a little creature that I kept an eye on after I branded her, a very special little butterfly. However, she disappeared a few days ago. This disappearance even penetrated the barrier between the quantum sea and the real world, as if… she was summoned from outside space by someone.” Kevin’s frosty eyes stared at Bai Chen, as if trying to see something in him.

“Ah, Seele, she’s a lovely child. I like her very much, so I summoned her away and only released her today,” Bai Chen said casually. “She’s here again to say hello to you, to take her out of the Sea of ​​Quanta forever.”

"At the same time, you also need to take the core of the Herrscher of Reason, right?" The chill around Kevin gradually intensified.

“That’s right. The position of Herrscher of Reason has been vacant for too long. With Welt stepping down, it’s time for the girls to take over.” Bai Chen spread his hands at Kevin, while the Plato Cube beside him spun around and floated up and down.

Kevin remained silent, not responding to Bai Chen's words. He looked Bai Chen up and down, his gaze, which had been as cold as ice, gradually began to heat up.

This made Bai Chen take a step back. The Kevin he knew was someone who had lost his wife, friends, and colleagues, and even the civilized world he wanted to protect, as well as humanity, had all disappeared. He was an ancient iceberg with only hatred for the Honkai in his heart, and the only thing he wanted to do was to hold the Heavenly Judgment and shout that humanity would surely defeat the Honkai.

But now the way he was looking at him was so intense, so intense, that Bai Chen couldn't help but wonder if he had awakened some other hobby.

Finally, Kevin withdrew his gaze and looked at the boundless darkness on his right, his tone wistful.

"...If any other Herrscher were standing in front of me, I would definitely fight him and let him know that this world ultimately belongs to humans, not a place where Herrschers can play around with as they please."

"But I never expected that it would be you who appeared in front of me."

"hiss--"

Kevin's tone was as if he were meeting a long-lost friend, and the deep affection in it gave Bai Chen goosebumps.

"Hey Kevin, let's talk this out. Don't pretend to be so sentimental!"

However, Kevin completely ignored Bai Chen; his deep affection and melancholy were not for Bai Chen.

“May had studied the Sea of ​​Quanta, and after that experiment, she quietly mentioned to me a possibility that could not possibly be part of the plan. The Sea of ​​Quanta is unlike any other cosmic phenomenon that humans can observe. The effects of this spatial stacking could cause Earth to have several parallel universes existing simultaneously.”

"In parallel universes, Honkai may also exist, but Honkai may not necessarily be hostile to humanity. In fact, the Herrschers in that world may simply be the strongest chosen ones among the 13 humans, becoming gods or representatives of the gods."

"If we could find such a world, perhaps we could borrow their power to preserve the flame of humanity... Unfortunately, until the end of civilization, we never encountered such a world."

"But just because we've never seen them doesn't mean they don't exist. Am I right? Unknown beings from another world, Herrschers of the Void from other worlds."

Chapter 84 Motorcycle Lawyer

Kevin recognized Bai Chen's identity in some way on their first meeting.

Bai Chen was slightly surprised. He didn't care much about his identity as someone from another world being exposed, but it wasn't any of the researchers who discovered this, but rather Kevin, who was clearly a forceful figure. This made Bai Chen realize that he must have overlooked some deeper reason.

This was not Bai Chen's oversight, but an irreparable difference. Although he possessed the Herrscher core and Honkai energy, he actually had no connection whatsoever with the Honkai of this world and was a complete outsider.

And Kevin happens to be the one who can sense this.

"What you said is not quite right, but it's not entirely wrong either. You can indeed understand my origins that way."

Bai Chen did not deny it. He didn't need to lie to Kevin about this kind of thing; in fact, it would be more beneficial for the conversation to come.

"Why did you come to our world?" Kevin asked.

"The Honkai Will of your world is very interesting. It's the first time I've ever seen such a peculiar world will, so I want to stay and study it carefully." Bai Chen bluntly revealed his purpose. "Of course, if I can find a way to completely devour it, that would be even better."

"Trying to replace the Honkai Will? What an arrogant and conceited idea." Kevin frowned slightly. He wanted humanity to defeat the Honkai, but he never thought that he could replace the Honkai Will.

His greatest ambition was nothing more than to seal away the will of chaos after paying a price, preventing it from interfering with human civilization, but he never considered the possibility of replacing it.

"You, who have always wanted to carry out the Stigmata Project, are no different from me." Bai Chen has never had a deep understanding of the plot behind the Honkai world. After all, these plots are hidden behind the scenes of the game, and it is difficult to understand these inside stories by simply playing the game.

But he still remembered why Kevin ended up in the Sea of ​​Quanta. Walter's interference was only a small part of it. More importantly, he wanted to carry out the Stigmata Project and was buried here by his opposing companions.

"Even the Will of Honkai only grants everyone an equal death after civilization has reached its limit. But you want to carry out the Stigmata Project, yet you want to judge the lives of all humanity according to your own ideas, allowing only those with talent to live. Isn't that even more arrogant than the Will of Honkai?" Bai Chen said unhurriedly.

The Stigmata Project was a mad plan proposed by people in the last century to awaken the Stigmata hidden in the genes of everyone in the world. Even though the survival rate of doing so was extremely low, it could weaken human civilization, reduce the power of Honkai, and at the same time enhance the overall combat power of humanity, creating more warriors to fight against Honkai.

Perhaps this would indeed lead to victory in the end, but how many people would actually be alive on Earth then?

"If we want to defeat the Honkai, sacrifice is necessary. Either we sacrifice some people to make victory possible, or we will be destroyed by the Honkai. Humanity's fate should not be a cycle of destruction. I will never allow failure again, so I am willing to accept any sacrifice." Kevin exuded a chilling aura.

He survived alone for ten thousand years. When he woke up, he found that his world no longer existed, the civilization he cherished had vanished, his first half of life had become worthless, and everything he was determined to protect had disappeared like sand at his fingertips.

Thus, he became a pure avenger. As long as it was for revenge against the Honkai and to defeat the enemy he was determined to defeat with his whole life, he was willing to pay any price and give up everything in the world that he could.

"Alright, there's nothing to say to an Avenger like you, but you should listen to my plan. After all, you're all trapped in this broken world, while I'm the outsider, the one who can bring change to your lives."

Bai Chen sighed. Kevin wasn't as easily persuaded as Otto. As long as Otto had Kallen, he didn't care much about the fate of humanity, while Kevin, even if he resurrected May, wouldn't let go of his hatred for the Honkai and the possibility of defeating it.

However, he wasn't entirely without confidence in persuading Kevin. Since the Stigmata Project couldn't be implemented anytime soon, he figured he might as well let Kevin hear about his plans first.

After all, he has an advantage that no one else has: a simulator system that is completely unaffected by the Honkai and will not be interfered with by it.

Bai Chen approached Kevin, took out the computer he had used for calculations over the past few days from a spatial rift, opened a dynamic folder, and began to tell Kevin about a new idea that was completely different from the Sacred Mark Project.

--------

Even in the ocean of quantum mechanics, time never stops its ever-forward march.

As time ticked by, Kiana and Mei watched with concern as the world bubble in front of them finally began to change.

A new, clear, and distinct Herrscher power was born from the World Bubble, and this power immediately resonated with Honkai energy upon its appearance.

If this were the real world, it would definitely trigger a massive collapse. But this is the Sea of ​​Quanta, surrounded by nothing but emptiness, so the collapse wave it caused could only disperse helplessly.
