My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

"I just did what you've done before, and sparred with them a little." Bai Chen never liked to lie to others, so he told Kiana directly what had happened that day. "But don't worry, their injuries aren't serious, and they'll be fully recovered in a few days."

The pen in her hand stopped on the paper. The white-haired girl looked up in disbelief. She thought this person had just gone out for a stroll, but she never expected that he would have a fierce fight with her former friends.

Considering this person's control over the Herrscher of the Void's abilities, Mei and the others were probably completely outmatched the entire time.

She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't utter a sound.

"I almost forgot, you are a true Herrscher, just like her."

"Herrscher, Herrscher. What, do you still think Herrschers are a disaster that will destroy humanity?" Bai Chen sat down in the chair next to Kiana and took out a red bean pie and a chicken burger from McDonald's from the paper bag in his hand.

"Isn't that right? Herrschers are the enemies of human civilization, the ultimate disaster that will destroy humanity. Even in her slumber, I can still feel the will of Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void within me. It's a hatred that wants to destroy the entire human world, and it's still trying to influence me even now," Kiana said softly.

Strangely enough, even though Kiana was certain in her heart that Bai Chen was also a Herrscher, she didn't resist communicating with him. Perhaps it was because Mei had also been a Herrscher before, and she still held a sliver of hope that if this suddenly appearing Herrscher of the Void could join the human race and fight against the Honkai together, countless casualties would be reduced.

"While it is indeed the will of Honkai that gave birth to the Herrschers, each era's Herrschers have their own characteristics. As far as I know, the characteristic of your era's Herrschers is that they are mediocre." Bai Chen sighed.

"?" Kiana looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Have you ever tried to understand the other will within you? I'm talking about Sirin," Bai Chen suddenly asked.

Kiana immediately shook her head. She didn't dare to touch Sirin's will herself. The only reason she could maintain her own personality was because the Godslayer Spear had stripped Sirin of her control. She was afraid that if she got too close to Sirin, she would release the Sirin within her.

"Then do you want to release her from your body?" Bai Chen pointed to the distance.

That direction leads to the headquarters of Schicksal, where Archbishop Otto of Schicksal is located. Bai Chen was certain that he could find a way to separate Sirin from Kiana's body there.

If the known future holds true, Kiana's body is compatible with almost all Herrscher cores. In other words, besides the Herrscher of the Void, she can also become other Herrschers, such as the Herrscher of Flame, by assimilating Herrscher cores.

It's far too extravagant for Kiana to possess so many Herrscher Cores; she simply can't manage them all, and it could easily lead to a tragic ending. It's common knowledge that the more buffs someone has, the more likely they are to perish at the end of the story, and this is especially true for someone like Kiana, who has been surrounded by buffs since birth.

It would be better to separate Xilin. Although she is full of malice towards the world because of her tragic past, Bai Chen is most confident in his ability to educate and manage. He is confident that he can beat Xilin until she obeys.

"If it were possible to separate them, I would have done it already." Kiana still doesn't acknowledge the power of the Herrscher of the Void; what she wants is to return to being the Valkyrie she originally was. "Do you have a way to take this core away?"

“There is definitely a way, but not now.” Bai Chen shook his head.

To what extent can you currently control this power?

"I can only use a very small portion. I dare not mobilize too much Honkai energy in my body, as this would accelerate my erosion process. If I am completely eroded, I might cause a new wave of Honkai," Kiana replied.

There was a little secret she had never told Bai Chen: in her spiritual world, there was a red feather, a part of the Eighth Divine Key, Feather of the Crossing. This Feather of the Crossing housed Fu Hua's will, and it was precisely because of its existence that she resisted the process of becoming a Herrscher.

As for why she didn't dare tell Bai Chen, it was because, in reality, the reason she was able to solve so many problems was because Fu Hua in her mind told her the answers.

Although she was listening to lectures, studying, and doing exercises at the same time, Fu Hua's progress seemed to be advancing by leaps and bounds, leaving Kiana far behind.

"That's enough," Bai Chen said with satisfaction. "Although you can no longer be considered a qualified Herrscher, you still need to undergo the training that a Herrscher should receive."

"I have already devised a complete training plan for you. As long as you complete my plan, you will definitely become an unprecedented Herrscher. Pack your things, and we'll head to Sky City now."

"Sky Dome City? Why Sky Dome City?"

"Because that's where you'll find the perfect training ground, and don't you think it's cool to have your body covered in markings?" Bai Chen pulled out a small notebook from his pocket.

That was the Herrscher upgrade plan he devised for Kiana, Mei, and Bronya. The first core of the plan was the Past Paradise within World Serpent. If they could obtain all the Heroic Crests from World Serpent and find a way to make these Crests effective outside of Paradise, that would be the best way to strengthen them in the shortest amount of time!

Furthermore, Bai Chen is determined to obtain the method by which World Serpent creates Honkai Beasts.

P.S.: Screenwriter! Screenwriter, you have no heart! Screenwriter, you sleep with your eyes open at night!

Chapter Ten, Let's Go Big

Although a terrifying phenomenon called Honkai exists in this world, society as a whole has not actually been greatly affected by it. Those organizations that know of Honkai's existence tacitly keep information about it hidden in the shadows of this world.

Although people know that there is some kind of disaster in this world, most people never see the Honkai Beast in their entire lives.

Bai Chen was dressed in well-fitting casual clothes, with sunglasses perched on his head. His golden, star-like pupils looked as if he was wearing colored contact lenses, attracting the attention of countless people along the way.

What's even more eye-catching is the person he's tethering to his wrist... A parent-child chain, usually used to tie new mothers' children to their wrists, is attached to his wrist, with the other end connected to a beautiful young girl. She is wearing a cool halter-neck dress, open-toed sandals, and large sunglasses like the man's. Her long, flowing silver hair is slightly permed and sways gently in the wind behind her.

As the saying goes, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they would definitely turn heads wherever they went.

"Hey! This is so embarrassing!"

Kiana finally couldn't hold back any longer. Ignoring the people coming and going at the station, she leaned close to Bai Chen and whispered in his ear.

"What's there to be ashamed of? Didn't we agree not to run away?" Bai Chen said dismissively.

This was Bai Chen's idea. He brought Kiana to Sky City this time to fish out the World Serpent and Schicksal. Although the Herrscher of the Void's powers are very strong, he can't go to places he's never been before without coordinates—of course, it's not entirely impossible, but it's easy to get stuck in walls or underground due to misaligned coordinates.

In his plan, both Schicksal and World Serpent are essential. The sooner he makes contact with them, the more advantageous it will be for Bai Chen. Fortunately, he has Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void that the whole world wants.

Along the way, he deliberately brought Kiana in front of many cameras, presumably because the Gray Serpent, who was in charge of processing global network information, had already found Kiana's information and spread it online. Bai Chen wanted to amplify this incident, especially hoping that the World Serpent would accelerate the Honkai energy experiment in Sky City.

As for why he chained Kiana to himself... it was so that Mei and the others would see it and rush to rescue her. Actually, he initially wanted to use a collar to tie Kiana up, but unsurprisingly, that was met with strong opposition, and he had to give up on that idea.

"Even without this, where else could I go? What a terrible sense of humor."

Bai Chen tugged at the chain in his hand, pulling the girl closer to him: "But we're a couple visiting Sky Dome City now, so it's not excessive at all."

"..."

Kiana was speechless. This identity was something he had arbitrarily assigned, something she would never have agreed to. However, in her mind's eye, Fu Hua had instructed her not to cause trouble for him over such trivial matters. Therefore, even the clothes she wore were personally selected by this man in the mall. Although they were all normal clothes, the way he looked at her always made Kiana feel inexplicably strange.

Complete the daily task: Dress up the beautiful girl.

Mission Reward: A standard costume card.

Bai Chen turned off the system notifications in his field of vision. This was why he made Kiana change her outfit every day. The daily tasks that appeared in the simulation system were all related to the person he was simulating. He was still in the form of the Herrscher of the Void, and the daily tasks he issued were also related to Kiana. However, unlike the tasks in the previous world, which were all about killing zombies, the daily tasks in this world seemed to have the theme of beautiful girls.

Changing clothes, cooking, training courses... Ah, apart from cooking being an absolute disaster, Bai Chen easily got Kiana to do everything through coercion and enticement.

The rewards from daily quests are usually not very useful, but a good item appears every two weeks. Bai Chen does have a few noteworthy items in his backpack that he saved up from the last world, but now is not the time for them to make an appearance.

"Where do we go next?" Kiana decided to give up on the problem of the chain on her hand, but standing in the train station was too embarrassing, and she couldn't wait to leave.

"First, you need to familiarize yourself with this city. Every qualified soldier must be familiar with his battlefield." Bai Chen handed Kiana a tourist map of Sky City.

"Battlefield? What do you intend to do to this city?"

“You should be polite when asking your mentor questions, my dear student,” Bai Chen corrected.

Before setting off, he had explained to Kiana that he was establishing the Starry Sky Club. Although she found it unbelievable, Kiana did not refuse and readily agreed to join.

But after she agreed, the task completion rate displayed on the system didn't change at all; it remained at 0%. Mei had experienced something similar before. Bai Chen guessed that either they weren't Herrschers yet and weren't qualified, or they hadn't truly accepted him and were just going through the motions by joining him. Of course, it was more likely that it was both.

As expected, Bai Chen didn't think his main quest would be so easy to complete. However, he still made his demands of Kiana, one of which was that she address him as her mentor, acknowledging that she was a student studying under him.

The influence is always subtle and gradual. Once she gets used to this title, she will naturally accept the facts that Bai Chen wants to portray in her heart.

"Respected mentor, please tell me, how should our plan be arranged?" Kiana sighed.

“When a brand new and important organization makes its debut, it always needs a corresponding grand opening. Sky City is a good place, and I’ve decided to hold a small-scale ball here. The first goal is to find the mastermind behind everything here.” Bai Chen shifted his gaze from the mission prompt that had just appeared.

Side Quest: The Seven-Person War in the Collapsed World.

Mission Introduction: Gather seven Servants, including K423, and throw a grand celebration! Victory will reward you with unexpected and valuable prizes. The stronger the enemies, the richer the rewards.

Chapter Eleven: The North Wind Howls, Snowflakes Flutter

Far East Branch, on the Hyperion.

The once quiet infirmary has suddenly become busy, especially the two Valkyries on the ship, who have been admitted to the infirmary three times in a short period of time.

Dr. Einstein, holding the medical records, sat in his chair, looking at the two young girls in front of him with a worried expression.

"Congratulations on your discharge again. Bronya, from now on, don't get so close to that man again, stay as far away as possible. As for Mei, if he's after you, you have nowhere to hide, so... just play it by ear." Dr. Einstein sighed, scratching his messy hair.

In the past few days, numerous meetings have been held regarding the newly emerged Herrscher of the Void named Bai Chen. If his words are true, then all knowledge about Herrschers in this era will need to be rewritten.

The Herrscher is no longer unique; the same power may give rise to two or more different Herrschers. And the Herrschers born are no longer completely filled with hatred for humanity and want to destroy humanity as the ultimate weapon. Instead, they have more humanity and thought, and may even develop a rebellious mentality against the Honkai will.

“If the person you’re talking about really is Bai Chen, then we’re in big trouble. He’s an absolute genius. According to the resume we’ve found, he’s learned in just a few years what others would take decades to comprehend. If he hadn’t become a Lawyer, he might have become a shining star of the new era.” Dr. Einstein patted his forehead and couldn’t help but sigh. “Of course, in contrast to his talent, his character is just as terrible as you’ve seen.”

Dr. Tesla, who had been silently staring at his computer with his arms crossed and red twin tails hanging down his chest, also spoke up: "A guy with extremely high talent, a terrible personality, a cynical attitude, and no scruples, has become a Herrscher. There's nothing worse than that."

"Bronya, I don't like that guy." Bronya whispered, clutching her Houmu doll.

In that imaginary space, she suffered the most severe injuries. Not only were there physical wounds, but also the overwhelming sense of helplessness in the face of the enemy, unable to even mount the slightest countermeasure.

Although she is still a young Valkyrie, she was trained as a child soldier and was able to assassinate enemy leaders on the vast snowfields even as a child. At that time, she was known as the Silver Wolf of the Urals. Until she met Cocolia and was taken in by her at the orphanage, her life was spent in battle and fighting.

She always felt that she was the most adapted to the battlefield in the entire school, because while the other students were still studying hard, the ways of firing guns, dodging, and fighting the enemy had already been engraved in her memory.

However, it wasn't until she actually faced a Herrscher that she realized how insignificant her experience was. Her physical prowess, which could easily defeat an adult man, was utterly useless against the Herrscher's terrifying power. Her high Honkai energy adaptability gained from experiments, as well as her enormous Honkai energy reserves, were nothing but a pathetic joke in the face of the Herrscher's core.

Completely powerless and with no chance of resistance, they were pressed firmly to the ground by the terrifying gravity, their lives entirely in the hands of others, and they were even used as bargaining chips to threaten their companions.

"Bronya will definitely defeat him." The silver-gray curly-haired girl clenched her small fists, her voice cold, carrying the chill of the Far East, as if she had returned to the time when she was still carrying out assassination missions on the Siberian steppe.

Raiden Mei placed her hand on Bronya's shoulder and pulled her close to her chest: "Don't do this, Bronya. You must listen to the Doctor. From now on, no matter what, stay far away from him."

"He's not very interested in you right now, but he seems convinced that you'll become a Herrscher. If one day he finds out you're not a Herrscher, he'll definitely kill you. At that time..." Raiden Mei didn't finish her sentence.

“Excuse me, girls. Unfortunately, we don’t have time,” Dr. Tesla, who had been staring at his computer, suddenly said.

She pressed a button on the computer, and the projector appeared in the room.

The screen displayed a somewhat blurry video, likely taken from a street surveillance camera. In the video, a man wearing sunglasses can be seen pulling a young girl behind him with a chain. The girl seems unwilling to follow the man, stopping frequently but unable to break free of the chain, and is being dragged forward.

Although both were wearing sunglasses, everyone recognized at a glance that the silver-haired girl being dragged along was Kiana. With the Kaslana family's signature silver hair, it was impossible to mistake her.

"We've finally found Kiana! Where are we? What is Bai Chen taking Kiana to do?" Mei asked anxiously.

"This is a video uploaded to the dark web by an information broker named Gray Serpent. The surveillance footage was taken in Tianqiong City, Shenzhou, and is from a street surveillance camera."

Tesla frowned, pressed a button on his computer, and displayed a huge but blurry image to everyone.

"As you can see, Kiana is being dragged along by this newly appeared Herrscher of the Void to a hotel called 'Red Rose and Night'."

"Red Rose and Night?" Mei pondered the name, a bad feeling suddenly rising in her mind.

After all, light novels are popular in her hometown, and similar names seem to occasionally appear in some fantastical novels.

"Red Rose and Night, with an online rating of 9.8, is the most highly rated brothel in Sky Dome City. It offers, but is not limited to, rooms with alphabet-themed activities, rooms simulating romantic scenes, maid rooms, male servant rooms, and various foot massage services..."

Another new page appeared on the projection screen. It must be the hotel's promotional webpage. On the colorful webpage, men and women dressed in various indescribable outfits, exposing indescribable body parts, and holding indescribable props, were twisting their hips and breasts, flamboyantly trying to express something.

"Bai Chen, what is he doing here with Kiana?!" Even Bronya couldn't hide her surprise.

Before winning the Nobel Prize, Einstein, who was once a playboy and had countless women, scratched his chin and said, "What can a man and a woman do in a place like this? Speaking of which, is there no reproductive barrier between Herrschers?"

"This is truly a project that no one has ever researched before. Hopefully, once that kid finds out the results, he'll let us take a look too," Tesla clicked his tongue in amazement.
