My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

"No! Kiana! No!"

P.S.: The following is not part of the main text.

He became a Herrscher, gained immense power, and had his beloved also become a Herrscher. Shouldn't double the happiness be even greater? But why? Why did it turn out like this?!

No, Kiana, you can't leave! What will I do if you leave? Alicia is dead, and Raven's heart is full of her loli. In this vast world of snakes, apart from lolicon, perverted robots, and a lonely old man who lost his wife a hundred thousand years ago, I don't even have a single person I can confide in.

Without you in this deep palace, how can I endure this? Kiana, it's all my fault! I can't stay in this world for another second. Destroy the Honkai, let Genshin Impact live on forever, starting today!

(?ω?)hiahiahia

I'm tormenting Mei again today, what a worthwhile day!

Chapter Twelve: Fishing is all about baiting the area.

Every angler knows that the most important thing before casting a line is to bait the area.

How well you prepare your fishing spot can directly affect your fishing results.

"Come on, one more." Bai Chen said to Kiana, who was lying on the bed, as he stood by the bed with his camera in his hand.

This was a very luxuriously decorated room, a huge suite. Because Bai Chen had obtained a lot of universal currency from the system's rewards, which could be used as the currency of this world in any world, money was not a problem at all.

The suites in "Red Roses and Night" each have their own theme, and the one Bai Chen chose was themed "Ocean." Not only were there various marine life patterns throughout the room, but there was also a huge blue aquarium in the lobby filled with colorful fish from the shallow seas, and even a small electric eel. The bed Kiana was currently on was also a soft waterbed; although it wasn't actually very comfortable, it looked exceptionally romantic.

The girl, looking utterly hopeless, covered her face with her hands and lay flat on the bed, letting Bai Chen's camera flash incessantly. Although she didn't speak, the feeling of being unwillingly forced was practically overflowing from the screen.

"This is fantastic. This is exactly what it looks like. If you blur it out and send it to Raiden Mei, she'll definitely come rushing over with a knife." Bai Chen fiddled with the camera, seemingly already envisioning the immense destructive power these photos would cause.

"That should be enough. As long as Mei finds me here, she'll definitely come over. We don't need these things at all," Kiana muttered.

"Without motivation, there's no drive to improve. Okay, now that you're done filming, hurry up and go study. You still have three sets of practice papers to do today, and after that, you have to go out and look for the gray snake."

Sky City is a high-tech city renowned for its machinery and networks, even possessing a cyberpunk-like atmosphere. Many residents have prosthetic limbs, and some even have chips implanted in their brains. Bai Chen, following local customs, switched to the city's recommended high-tech phone and quickly found the highest-rated hotel on the local online marketplace.

Although Bai Chen could still remember the general direction of the game, since he was determined to disrupt the original plot and change the course of events, he naturally couldn't let Kiana continue searching for information about the Divine City Pharmaceutical Company and investigating the truth behind the appearance of Honkai Beasts in the city, as before. He chose to check into the most bustling and prosperous hotel in the city, giving off an air of welcoming guests from all sides.

Since I possess the power of the Herrscher of the Void, even if I can't win, I can surely outrun them.

After all, this is a corrupted world, teeming with overpowered characters and cheaters, and with wondrous places like the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea, Bai Chen doesn't dare to act recklessly. Although he has to complete the side quests according to the system's requirements, he can't go too far, lest some corrupted hero actually appear and kill him, the Demon King.

After transferring the photos from the camera to his computer and processing them properly, Bai Chen logged into an unregistered account he had bought from a roadside vendor and sent the three photos to different people.

Bai Chen sent Kiana's photo to the Far East Branch, Anti-Entropy, and Destiny respectively, which was like throwing in some bait to create a feeding ground. As for what kind of big fish they could catch, that was up to fate.

Kiana, head bowed, reluctantly sat down at the table, beginning a new round of torment. Originally, the death of her teacher Himeko, her transformation into the Herrscher of the Void, and her being wanted by the world, bringing about a massive Honkai catastrophe, had forced even the usually cheerful and optimistic Kiana to sink into despair. But she had no time to wallow in despair, forced by Bai Chen to study relentlessly, learning things she had never seen before. She studied during the day and dreamed of doing problems at night. The heavy pressure of studying surprisingly dispelled Kiana's grief and guilt, making her even more cheerful than in the original timeline.

Um, this only applies when there's no need to do practice questions.

The book now placed in front of Kiana is titled "The Extension of General Relativity" on its cover. It's a children's book that Bai Chen chose for her... That's right. According to Bai Chen, he doesn't expect Kiana to be able to understand this book with her current intelligence and knowledge, but the fundamental purpose is to receive necessary education. After all, she is the Herrscher of the Void. If she doesn't even know general relativity, wouldn't she be as ignorant as a baby who can't walk or talk?

"So read it carefully every day, just like a toddler flipping through a storybook, at least to leave a beautiful childhood impression on you!" Bai Chen said as he handed her the book. "I don't expect you to achieve anything great. After all, any random kid on the street in Göttingen knows more about four-dimensional geometry than Einstein. Yet, it was Einstein, the physicist, who discovered relativity, not any mathematician!"

This quote comes from one of the most famous mathematical figures in human history, Hilbert's sarcastic remark about Einstein, and is a very harsh assessment. Bai Chen's intention was to say that Kiana, despite possessing the core of the Herrscher of the Void and being closer to the essence of space than any human in the world, was utterly useless. However, after hearing this, Kiana only looked at him with fear and asked—

"Göttingen? Which school is that amazing? Is there a big difference between it and St. Freya Academy?"

The response was three additional test papers.

Despite being such a beautiful girl, Bai Chen felt nothing while standing beside her, because he believed in a truth as much as quantum electrodynamics: big breasts mean no brains.

There was no basis for his belief; he just accepted it anyway. So, while it wasn't entirely unacceptable, Bronya and Theresa definitely suited his aesthetic preferences better than Kiana and Mei…

And Fu Hua and some painter who may or may not be on the moon.

So, where is Fu Hua right now?

Bai Chen walked to the window, looked at the bustling street, and sighed.

P.S.: I personally believe that Hilbert's contribution to the mathematical equations of Einstein is greater than Einstein's, and I will not accept any rebuttals.

So that was a genuine satire.

Furthermore, my belief in quantum electrodynamics is a personal preference without any historical basis. However, I personally believe it remains the most useful branch of quantum field theory to date and a cornerstone for a potential unified theory in the future. I welcome rebuttals. That's all.

Chapter Thirteen: The Creation and Preparation of Honkai Beasts

In the factory district outside Sky City, Bai Chen pressed down hard on the white monster in front of him.

This is a small Honkai Beast. Not long ago, the birth of the Herrscher of the Void triggered the Great Honkai, and the resulting Honkai energy spread throughout the world. As a result, many people and animals were corrupted by this energy and transformed into Honkai Beasts. To ordinary people unaware of the existence of Honkai, it appears as a mutation arising from a natural phenomenon, like a disease or plague—terrifying but inescapable.

Kiana initially believed that the Honkai Beasts appearing in Sky City were caused by her, but Bai Chen knew very well that these Honkai Beasts were not changes brought about by the Herrscher of the Void, but rather Honkai Beast transformation experiments conducted by Divine City Medicine in this city. Their purpose was to seize the Gem of Desire and open the gate to the Sea of ​​Quanta, in order to rescue the leader of the World Serpent, Kevin Kaslana, the strongest fusion warrior in the world 50,000 years ago.

In this story, Bai Chen cares most about Kevin's lover, Dr. Mei.

Having survived for 50,000 years without dying, Kevin has far surpassed humanity. Mei, on the other hand, is just an ordinary person, yet she can create test-tube babies using Kevin's cells and her own. The technical difficulty involved is akin to getting an elephant and a paramecium to mate and produce offspring. Not to mention, she single-handedly completed the almost impossible Stigmata Project... If such a person were still alive and could be recruited into Bai Chen's team, with the help of Bai Chen's system cheat, and undergo Herrscher fusion experiments on him, wouldn't defeating the Honkai be just around the corner?

Otto, you womanizer! Why are you always thinking about that saint Kallen? What good is Kallen besides stealing things? If you really want to conquer the Imaginary Tree, just bring back the scientists from the last era. Whether it's Mebius the snake charmer or Mebius the ice man, aren't they all far more useful than Kallen? That would be so much easier for me…

Bai Chen's mind wandered, but he didn't stop pouring Honkai energy into the Honkai Beast in front of him. Although Bai Chen knew absolutely nothing about biology, and hadn't opened a biology book since the college entrance exam, ordinary people learn only for academic qualifications and survival, while true geniuses learn for entertainment, application, and to satisfy their endless thirst for knowledge.

So during this time, he trained Kiana while reviewing research papers and experimental materials on Honkai in this world. Although he didn't have access to truly cutting-edge technology, the basic knowledge was enough for Bai Chen, who was still a Herrscher. Herrschers have unique advantages; their powers and control over Honkai are innate. In their own domain, they are like standing on the shoulders of giants, looking down at humans climbing mountains.

"Such an internal structure is beyond the scope of biology, yet it is still a type of biology. If this were on Earth in the past, it would have caused all the biologists in the world to have a heart attack." Bai Chen injected Honkai energy into the body of the rush-class Honkai Beast in front of him while carefully sensing its internal structure.

Although called a Honkai Beast, it is actually more like a giant energy life form. Its core provides everything it needs to sustain life, while also constantly absorbing free Honkai energy from the outside world. Only in a place where Honkai energy exists everywhere can such a wondrous life form be born. In any other world, such a life form would quickly lose energy and dissipate due to the problem of Honkai energy circulation within its body.

It is precisely for this reason that Bai Chen wants to use his Honkai energy to catalyze the Honkai Beasts, creating new Judgment-class Honkai Beasts, such as Chi You and Benares. Moreover, he hopes to be able to specifically endow the Honkai Beasts he creates with powers, so that every time he becomes a new Herrscher, he will leave new powers in its body. And when the final judgment of the world, the end, appears, these Honkai Beasts may have an unexpected effect.

A Honkai Beast possessing all the abilities of a Herrscher—just thinking about it is exhilarating.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Bai Chen can be 100% sure that he can control this Honkai Beast; otherwise, it would be like raising a tiger to cause trouble and creating a new and formidable enemy.

However, it's too early to think about these things now.

"Sigh, another failure."

With the infusion of Honkai energy, the Honkai Beast quickly evolved into a Temple-level Honkai Beast, a level that Sirin could create, representing a basic manifestation of Herrscher authority. However, as Bai Chen attempted to leave a trace of Herrscher authority on the Honkai Beast, the previously smooth evolution immediately encountered problems. The Honkai Beast's body began to twist and swell, eventually transforming into a giant balloon before exploding and disappearing.

He scratched his head. While failure was common, a failure without learning anything from it was a pointless failure. This change wasn't mentioned in any book, and it was impossible for Bai Chen to understand its principles on his own in a short time.

"I was originally planning to create a few special Honkai Beasts and control them so that the Herrscher girls could receive a good baptism of combat and knowledge. But it seems that time doesn't allow it." Bai Chen thought about his next plan and could only helplessly abandon his original intention.

"Let's use that one."

He opened the system's backpack and took out a light blue card from his own backpack.

"System, select to use the extra reward side quest card."

This is Bai Chen's only treasured reward card, which allows the system to provide extra rewards in advance for the current side quest, helping to complete the side quest.

[The bonus reward has been issued: "Pseudo-Simulated Akasha's Record Book - Pseudo" *7]

[Should we select a target to bind?]

Bai Chen took out his reward from his backpack, looked at the item description, and couldn't help but whistle.

"Wow even."

【Pseudo-Simulation of the Book of Akasha's Record - Pseudo: Although it is a low-quality simulation of a replica of a replica, it still has powerful functions. It can summon key figures who changed history, or those entangled in the causal relationship with the holder, and of course, it can also be bound to real-world figures or items.】

The binding lasts for seven days. During these seven days, the bound person will not die from a fatal injury. When life ends or the time expires, the bound person will dissipate and return to their state before being bound.

"I'll definitely summon a Kallen first to toy with Otto! Ah, that sounds so good!"

P.S.: Please, please give me some votes, waaaaaah!

Chapter Fourteen: Rita, in Danger!

"Is this right here?"

Like all technological cities of this era, Sky City at night is ablaze with colorful neon lights amidst its towering buildings.

In a dimly lit alley, a woman holding a sickle-shaped weapon silently watched the unmanned machine shatter into pieces at her feet.

Rita Losweather, a Valkyrie from Schicksal, is not only a former member of the assassination squad, but also the current vice-captain of the special operations unit, the Undying Blade.

After receiving news about Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void, she rushed to Sky City following the source of the information. According to the intelligence, there was an intelligence dealer named Gray Serpent who was the first to discover Kiana's whereabouts on the surveillance network. He had also contacted the traitorous Far East Branch, wanting to reach an intelligence deal with them.

“Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void, and Grey Serpent, the information broker—these are all normal subjects of investigation. But what does this man mean?” Rita, wearing a light green Valkyrie armor with electronic information intrusion capabilities, crouched beside the wreckage of the unmanned machine, using the armor’s built-in functions to examine the information left in the wreckage.

Among these messages, one person came as a surprise to her. He was a very handsome young man, not very old, and what was striking was that in the occasional images he left behind, it was clear that his eyes were not normal pupils, but rather like dazzling stars.

Those eyes reminded Rita of the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin. Could this man be a familiar created by the Herrscher of the Void before she fell into a deep sleep, meant to monitor Kiana?

With this guess in mind, she waved into the dark alley, and a huge mechanical hound walked out of the darkness to her side.

“Good dog, track down the clues left on these wrecks,” Rita said softly, stroking the mechanical hound.

Soon, the mechanical hound finished collecting its data and identified its next target. However, just as it was about to leave the alley, its Honkai energy sensor suddenly emitted a loud alarm, causing it to let out a low growl, like a real hound.

"Oh dear, this is truly an unexpected guest."

Rita looked up at the sky, her grip on the scythe tightening involuntarily.

It was a figure that appeared suddenly, dressed in a floral shirt and shorts as if he had just returned from a beach vacation, but the Honkai energy emanating from his bright golden eyes revealed a cold indifference as if he wanted to destroy the world.

Bai Chen floated in mid-air, and the gravity that originally bound everyone in this world seemed to have no trace on him.

Finding out where Rita is isn't difficult. The Destiny's action team operates with Destiny's unique pride, and the damage they cause is easily discovered with a little investigation.

After all, they were just tracking down a small-time information broker. In fact, they originally estimated that the information broker named Gray Serpent didn't know anything about the Honkai and was just lucky enough to find Kiana.

"Nice to meet you, Head Maid of Destiny. Are you here so late to buy a midnight snack for Durandal?" Bai Chen asked.

"It's polite to introduce yourself when meeting a stranger for the first time." Rita's body tensed up. With her keen sense of Honkai energy, she had already realized that the enemy in front of her seemed to be completely different from those she had encountered before.

But a new Herrscher shouldn't be appearing now...

“Oh, then let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Bai Chen, the true Herrscher of the Void of this era, and also the host of the upcoming ball.” Bai Chen reached into an open spatial passage and took out a simple handwritten invitation. “I’m here to see you for no other reason than to host a ball in Sky City and invite your archbishop to attend.”

“…My lord, you must be joking. The archbishop is so busy, how could he possibly have time to attend a Herrscher’s ball?” Rita sighed, and the scythe in her hand began to crackle with electricity.

Just as they were exchanging messages, a distress signal was sent out via the network and satellite. Herrschers are beings that only S-rank Valkyries can deal with. Facing a strange, awakened Herrscher alone without any preparation, even Rita instantly considered her fate.

The other side clearly had ill intentions, and they even possessed information related to Destiny, knew about the Undying Blade Squad, and even plotted against the Archbishop. This crucial intelligence had to be relayed, and whether escape was possible would only be known after the battle.

Bai Chen was not surprised at all. The man who had been silently manipulating history had spent 500 years to achieve his dream, and now it was finally coming to an end. Without enough bait, it would be impossible to catch him.

Besides, he was ultimately a Herrscher, and no one in this world would believe a Herrscher's words. He appeared before Rita, not intending to persuade her with words, since this short-haired head maid was a veteran of countless battles, and even if he beat her up, she probably wouldn't be hurt.

probably.
