My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

Does the soul weigh 21 grams?

When Yu Duchen and Bai Chen's Herrscher Cores made contact, the entire feather emitted a warm red light. A massive amount of Honkai energy spread towards Yu Duchen, completely filling the feather. The Divine Key created using the Herrscher Core and the Herrscher's Honkai energy created a strange chemical reaction; a faint spiritual will emanated from the feather. If Bai Chen continued to wash the feather with Honkai energy without regard for the consequences, it was likely to erase the remaining marks on the feather and claim it as his own.

Although the Crimson Iris Immortal was powerful, that was five hundred years ago. Now, Fu Hua has even lost her physical body, let alone the separated fragments of Feather Dust.

"Fu Hua, can you hear me, Fu Hua?" Bai Chen tried to activate the spiritual will left in the feather.

Seemingly recognizing Bai Chen's identity as a herald, a series of mental fluctuations emanated from the feather, as if it was hesitating whether to answer. But in the end, a clear female voice came from the feather.

"Herrscher, what do you want from me?"

From the feathers emerged a long-haired, ethereal red figure. Besides her refined and otherworldly beauty and graceful demeanor, her most striking feature was her flat chest, as flat as an airport runway. This was none other than the Crimson Iris Immortal that Bai Chen was searching for, or rather, Fu Hua.

Of course, this is not Fu Hua's original will. Her original will is still in Kiana's body. What appears now is just a spiritual illusion left behind by the Feather Dust. It contains a part of Fu Hua's memories, but even Fu Hua herself does not know which period of time's memories it contains.

"Are you Chi Yuan or Fu Hua?" Bai Chen asked.

The phantom figure pondered for a moment before answering, "I am Fu Hua, a combatant of Schicksal. Herrscher, this feather should be inside Schicksal headquarters. Where did you obtain Yu Duchen's feather?"

"Don't always call me Herrscher. Bai Chen, that's my name." Bai Chen was somewhat surprised that Fu Hua on this feather had kept the memories up until she joined Schicksal. "I obtained this Feather of Crossing Dust through a transaction with Archbishop Otto of Schicksal. It was legal and compliant, and I even had a subsequent cooperation with Otto."

"Has Destiny... actually colluded with the Herrschers?" Fu Hua said with some disappointment.

Her memories did not include the part after she enrolled in St. Freya Academy, nor did she know Kiana, so naturally she would not know that she would later entrust her spirit to a Herrscher, and even give birth to a Herrscher child for the Honkai in the future.

One can only say that life's circumstances are incredibly strange, often like a flawed plan that allows one to let their true self run wild.

“Speaking of Herrschers, you’ve actually gone even further than Otto. Do you know that your true form has merged with the Herrscher, and you’re even acting alongside it now, stealing pharmaceutical company data under my command?” Bai Chen shrugged and told Fu Hua this shocking truth.

"Impossible, how could such a thing happen?" Fu Hua, of course, refused to believe it and immediately denied it.

“Then take a look at this video together. Do you see the girl in the video? That’s Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void in this era, and your consciousness resides in her body,” Bai Chen said.

…………

"Squad leader, how dare they do this? Aren't they afraid of being punished?"

In the archives of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, Kiana stared at the documents before her, a surge of anger seemingly about to erupt from her chest.

It was a secret experimental report. Shencheng Pharmaceuticals had secretly replaced some of the therapeutic drugs distributed around the world with a substance that could destroy a person's Honkai energy resistance and carry Honkai conversion factors, turning many people into zombies or Honkai beasts. They then obtained first-hand experimental data from them to study the conversion patterns of Honkai and how to control these transformed Honkai beasts.

Kiana never imagined that anyone would conduct such inhumane experiments. The Great Honkai caused by the Herrscher of the Void had already caused immense damage to the world, and now these pharmaceutical companies were acting without any moral compass, causing even greater harm to people for their own selfish desires.

"What's more important now is finding the culprit behind all this. Shencheng Medicine alone is simply not capable of conducting such an experiment. Even Schicksal's research hasn't progressed to this stage yet..." Fu Hua replied in Kiana's mind.

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed from the doorway, followed by a languid, sexy female voice that trailed off.

"Oh, look who's here. Isn't this our Herrscher of the Void? What, the Herrscher who destroys the world has time to care about our small pharmaceutical company? It's truly an honor."

Chapter Twenty-Four: Raven, an Incredibly Powerful Fighter

He had short gray hair, a black cloak, held a small energy bow in his hand, and had a short-barreled sniper rifle tucked behind his back.

The woman has an enviable figure and long legs; she's the kind of woman who, if you saw her in a bar, could make many people's hearts flutter uncontrollably.

Natasha Ciora, also known as Raven, is a mercenary active in the inner world of the world. She is currently employed by Divine City Medicine to handle the base's security and defense. She is also an ally of Grey Serpent, and luring Kiana to Sky City was their primary objective.

She shouldn't have appeared directly in front of Kiana, but the appearance of Archbishop Otto of Schicksal and the presence of another Herrscher of the Void forced them to change their plans. Now was no longer the time to play the long game; if they didn't act now and reel in the net, it would be torn apart when sharks surrounded them.

According to Raven's observation, Kiana, who has lost her Herrscher will, does not currently possess any Herrscher abilities. At most, she is equivalent to an A-rank Valkyrie. Raven, on the other hand, already possessed A-rank abilities many years ago and would not be afraid of a young girl who cannot fight at full strength on her own turf.

"I'm absolutely fed up with you Herrschers! You've ruined this world. The Honkai, the Herrschers—you should all disappear from this world." Raven's body ignited with faint blackish-red flames, and in an instant, she transformed into a cloud of scorching mist, sweeping towards Kiana in front of her.

She had been harboring a grudge. After years of hard work, she had bought a beautiful island in the Pacific Ocean, hoping to build a home there and live a peaceful life away from the chaos. However, the appearance of the Herrscher of the Void caused a Honkai energy tremor, creating a massive tsunami that submerged the island. Not only was her savings gone forever, but the island itself vanished forever.

This was no small grudge. If it weren't for the demands of her sugar daddy, preventing her from harming Kiana, she would have killed Kiana on the spot if given the chance.

Flames swept across the area, and the cawing of crows seemed to echo within them. This is why she is called Raven; she can not only transform herself into a burning raven to hide in the mist of flames, but also create burning feathers to pierce through any enemy in her path.

Kiana held two pistols in her hands, the best weapons Bai Chen had found for her in the underground black market: the Water Sprite Type 2. As a Honkai energy weapon, its energy bullets would steal a large amount of heat from the enemy upon impact. Of course, she also had a baseball bat behind her, but using that to fight the enemy would be utterly foolish.

Kiana, who had learned the Kaslana family's ancestral gun-fighting technique under her father Siegfried's tutelage, faced the enemy in front of her. Although she was using a pistol, Kiana's actual shooting performance was very poor. She could only say that she was unerring within seven steps, but beyond seven steps... she was out of range.

"Don't blame your mistakes on the Herrschers. Aren't those people you used as guinea pigs innocent too?" Kiana fired at the fire fog in front of her. The bullets made of Honkai energy struck the fog, which was also made of Honkai energy, causing it to dim rapidly.

But Raven had already appeared behind Kiana under the cover of the fog. She kicked Kiana hard in the lower back with her heel, and a bright silver-white metallic luster could be vaguely seen on the heel.

"A Herrscher, uttering the word 'innocent'?" Raven sneered amidst the rising flames. "How many tens of thousands of people did you kill in the disaster you unleashed? That indiscriminate slaughter, and the sacrifices we made to defeat the Honkai—who is the real villain?"

Kiana dodged the attack and turned to fire. In the brief moment their eyes met, she saw a crimson light flash in the woman's rose-red pupils. Disgust, contempt, and undisguised hatred—for the first time, Kiana, who had always evaded the fact that she had become a Herrscher, was exposed to the true malice of the world.

"Hypocritical monster, look at yourself! You're not even human, just a monster corrupted by Honkai." Raven's chilling voice echoed in the room, its origin unknown, hidden beneath a mist of flames. "Do you know what I've lost because of you?!"

Kiana hadn't suffered any physical harm, yet her movements involuntarily slowed down. She didn't know how to refute Raven; Raven's anger and hatred extinguished even her desire to resist.

Kiana never wanted to hurt anyone; she just wanted to find her father, Siegfried, and to study and graduate with Mei... But now even Himeko-sensei is gone. Where can she go back to, and how can she face Mei, who is still waiting for Himeko-sensei to return?

"Kiana, ignore what she says. Be careful, this person is very strong. If something happens to you here and you can't control Sirin, the entire city could be destroyed in Sirin's wrath!"

Fu Hua's voice rang in Kiana's consciousness. She anxiously tried to use her remaining power to enter Kiana's mind and prevent Kiana from being distracted in the battle.

"Concentrate your mind and focus your energy. Kiana, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, shrouded in mist, the ground was covered with flaming feathers. A burning thread appeared in the raven's hand, connecting to the feathers, and with a sudden pull, a massive net of fire bound Kiana.

Fortunately, Fu Hua's reminder activated her spatial ability, and Kiana successfully appeared at the other end of the room. However, just as she recovered from the brief moment of paralysis after the spatial teleportation, a concentrated Honkai energy grenade rolled to her feet.

"Boom!" Amidst the flames, Kiana had to teleport again, this time targeting the other end of the fire mist. Forced to rely solely on formulas, her spatial teleportation was precisely twelve meters, ensuring her target landing point was free of any debris other than fluid.

"I've been waiting for you! So this is all the power a Herrscher has to offer!"

Amidst the fiery mist, Raven, who had already analyzed Kiana's weakness in spatial abilities, appeared and delivered a powerful knee strike to Kiana's still-stiff abdomen.

Kiana's body arched backward from the blow to her diaphragm, and she experienced a brief moment of dizziness.

Raven removed the sniper rifle that had been tucked behind her back and pressed it against Kiana's kidney. It was a weapon that could only fire once, but that single attack was enough to leave Kiana with only half a living body.

The Third Divine Key: The Key of Judgment: Seven Thunders of Purification.

"Sleep now, Herrscher." Raven pulled the trigger.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Reasons That Couldn't Be Refused

Victory was in sight, but even though Raven's finger was already on the trigger of the Seven Thunders of Purification, he suddenly found that he couldn't press it no matter what he did.

That brief distance seemed to become an insurmountable chasm. A faint golden cross appeared on Kiana's chest. This was the power that Bai Chen left on Kiana, which could be used to summon her from any corner of the world to his side, or to teleport himself to Kiana's vicinity.

The man's soft chuckle echoed in the archives: "These are the girls under my command, and it's not time for them to wither yet."

A power a hundred times more precise than Kiana's enveloped Raven, and before she could dodge, she was teleported through a spatial rift to a hotel in the distance.

Only the flashing red alarm lights remained in the archives, along with Kiana kneeling on one knee, panting heavily.

"Kiana, Kiana? Are you alright?" Fu Hua asked worriedly.

"Squad leader, I'm fine. It's just... these forces are too weak right now. I can't even defeat a single guard from a biotech company..."

Kiana didn't recognize either the Seven Thunders of Purification or Raven. She thought she had just encountered an ordinary mercenary guard, and that her current sluggish body meant even a guard could easily defeat her.

Her eyes, which were originally clear, sky-blue like sapphires, began to glow with a faint golden light. When Kiana began to seek power, the first thing to respond to her was the core of the Herrscher of the Void within her body.

It seemed as if a girl's mocking voice appeared in Kiana's ear. Sirin curled up in her small core, laughing at Kiana for being able to bully even a foolish mortal so easily.

"waste……"

------

In the private room of Red Roses and Night, the raven, who had been suddenly moved to the room, stood by the window, seemingly ready to escape at any moment.

The main problem was the room's overall layout. Bai Chen's private room was clearly a love hotel. When Raven worked as a bartender, she often heard female customers talk about the relationship between love hotels and men. Moreover, Bai Chen, sitting on the sofa and squinting at her, didn't seem like a good person, judging from his aura and demeanor.

"I remember you must hate the Herrschers, so why didn't you come and attack me instead of trying to run away?" Bai Chen asked with interest.

He still admired Raven, even though she wasn't a good person. As a mercenary, she was ruthless and would do anything for money. But an organization needs such a black glove. Compared to those mercenaries who were truly inhuman and only cared about money, Raven possessed both the ruthlessness of a mercenary and the gentleness of a woman. She had a huge weakness, cherished her life, enjoyed life, and had even considered retiring from her mercenary ways.

Such people are the easiest to control and persuade; any capable boss would appreciate such competent subordinates. Besides, Miss Raven is a beauty, isn't she?

“That little girl is completely unfit to be a Herrscher. She lacks the demeanor and awareness of a Herrscher; at best, she's just a sissy.” Raven tentatively moved closer to the window, but a sense of impending danger immediately arose there. She knew that if she dared to climb out the window, she might be crushed by the man in front of her. Helpless, she could only quietly move to the sofa and sit down sideways.

"What annoys me most are people like this. They either become Herrschers and become enemies of humanity, or they become human and bear the guilt of creating the Great Collapse. If they run away from everything, they might as well die in my hands and become my experimental subjects. At least I, with my hands already covered in blood, won't pretend to be a champion of justice and question anyone," Raven mocked.

"So what does this have to do with you trying to escape?"

"Because you're no match for that little girl. If all Herrschers were like you, I'd drink a few more glasses, take out a huge loan, enjoy myself, and then sit at home waiting for the end of the world." Raven rubbed his short hair. "I don't even have the slightest desire to fight you. Knowing you're going to die and still being blindly confident isn't what a mercenary should do."

"You're honest, and I like honest women like you." Bai Chen smiled and nodded.

Raven tensed. She knew Bai Chen and Kiana had been staying at this inn for a long time, and she dared not speculate whether anything harmonious had happened. But this didn't stop her from being wary of Bai Chen. If the worst-case scenario had occurred, she would rather commit suicide than be violated.

"Want to work for me?" Bai Chen took out a yellowed book from his spatial storage.

"work to earn a living?"

“Yes, you don’t need to betray your current employer. As long as you can complete the tasks I assign you in the upcoming operations and participate in my plan, you can get extra rewards from me.” Bai Chen tossed the fake book to Raven.

"Don't even think about refusing yet. I'll offer you a price you can't refuse. Those children in Changkong City must be having a very hard time right now, lacking food and clothing, and without effective medical care. And the island you finally managed to buy has sunk. It's so pitiful."

A huge piece of gold appeared on the table, weighing at least one hundred kilograms. And on the gold was a five million dollar check from this world, produced by the system, guaranteed to be genuine.

“If you can’t carry it, I can help you deliver it to Changkong City and visit your children while I’m at it.” Bai Chen placed one hand on the check and smiled at Raven.

The woman stared intently at Bai Chen. She didn't know how the Lawyer in front of her knew the children's secret, but he was right; this was a price she couldn't refuse.

“Very good, boss. What tasks do you have?” She placed the checks and gold under her.

Earning money while standing tall is not shameful.

Chapter Twenty-Six: How can Kiana, at her age, sleep?!

Raven stood in the hotel lobby, watching the woman beside him, dressed in only a few pieces of fabric, giggle and wave at him.

She tossed the bag in her hand, still feeling a sense of unreality.

In the pocket of her clothes were gold checks and a yellowed, old book. According to Bai Chen, with that fake book, she could summon a powerful warrior from history to help her in the upcoming great battle.

The Herrscher is going to hold a ball in Sky City. The ball will be a battle between seven people, each accompanied by one of their summoned Heroic Spirits. The winner will receive a reward.

It's utterly meaningless. If you really have the ability to resurrect the dead from history, why do this instead of doing something like this?

Raven, of course, couldn't understand the so-called system task. She just felt that her new boss was indeed a crazy Herrscher. She must have ruined her brain from reading too much, and she had become even crazier after becoming a Herrscher.

"She's much more generous than others." Feeling the heavy weight of the money in her hand, the mercenary sighed.
