What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

"There's one more thing, System, you're not allowed to pick up on jokes."

[...Host, you are the first host to gag this system.]

Zhao Si certainly wouldn't let the system take advantage of him verbally. It had already given him its own resources, so he didn't even dare to think about what it would do next.

After drawing the prize, Zhao Si just remembered, but then his body resisted and he was forced back to his bed. He still didn't want to get up, which made Zhao Si wonder how long he had been unconscious.

With nothing to do, Zhao Si took stock of the five prizes in his backpack. Then his eyes were completely drawn to the golden machine. He couldn't wait to take the Phoenix out for a spin.

"Phoenix, tsk tsk tsk, Unicorn Unit 3, even without activating the NTD system, all three Unicorn series units are flagship units with excellent performance."

Zhao Si recalled the first time he watched the Unicorn OVA. NZ666 Kshatriya was like a force to be reckoned with, from laning against Captain Jegan to breaking into the colony, and then being crushed by Banagher in his newly released Unicorn with superior performance.

When it came to performance, its hand, along with the beam sword hilt, was crushed and then forcibly pushed out of the colony. The more ferocious Kshatriya's appearance was, the more humiliating it was when it was used as a stepping stone for the Unicorn.

And now, the third unit, Phoenix, whose performance is equivalent to Unicorn Unit 1, lies in his backpack, waiting for his favor.

Zhao Si was absolutely certain that Phoenix's regular performance far surpassed Exusiai's, and its Destruction Mode performance far surpassed Exusiai with three red cards.

Exia has done a great job, but third-generation mobile suits can't compete in high-level matches, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Just now, after Zhao Si finished off Benares, he still had two minutes left to use his three red buffs, but he consciously avoided provoking the enraged Herrscher of the Void, fearing that if the Herrscher of the Void was pushed too far, an invisible hand would grab him and pinch him.

Phoenix is ​​different. Bro can actually use his mental energy field to change the laws of physics, making him a direct match for the Herrscher who wields power.

A mental framework, isn't that amazing?

[However, host, you are clearly not a Newtype.]

“Yes, we’ve never even been to space, let alone Banagher, who was hailed as the ‘true New Type’ by the great writer.”

When talking about great writers, Zhao Si was completely indifferent. In order to deconstruct the new humans, this guy has now deconstructed them into people with telekinetic abilities such as "seeing the trajectory of light beams from a higher dimension" and "multiple life forms crossing dimensions".

It's no wonder that the unicorn's success has been called a "cheap miracle." The more you say, the more mistakes you make; it's better to say nothing at all.

"Anyway, I'm operating the machine with the awareness of an Old Type. At least until now, my soul is still bound to Earth by gravity."

Zhao Si quickly distanced himself from his past self who had just drawn Phoenix. He suddenly remembered that when he first arrived, the IP address displayed here was "Honkai World". If he really became a Newtype, really started NTD, and really ascended to a higher dimension, it was hard to guarantee what kind of monsters he would encounter.

[That's a nice thought, but host, you haven't even been exposed to GN particles long enough, so don't be thinking about things that are so far ahead.]

The system was telling the truth, but compared to the Innovator needing to be immersed in GN particles for a long time to become enlightened, entering the universe to become a New Type is more like an enlightenment in a single day.

"There's no use thinking about it. Now that things have come to this, let's go to sleep."

All Zhao Si can do now is look at the prize in his backpack and dream about the future. As things stand, his skills are still better suited to piloting the Exia.

Having a Veda is great! If I could install a Veda on all the mechs I get in the future, I wouldn't have to worry about them being too weak and holding me back.

[Host, you're already holding Exusiai back.]

"Damn it... I'm sorry, I admit I'm bad."

After Zhao Si finished communicating with the system in his consciousness, he fell into a coma again.

While he lay there with his eyes closed, the world outside continued to unfold as usual.

Zhao Si made his debut in the first episode on February 3, 2000.

On this day, Destiny and Anti-Entropy formed an alliance and teamed up to run the Tower of Babylon dungeon. Midway through, they encountered a powerful ally from the "Celestial Armed Organization." Their achievements included rescuing Dr. Einstein, clearing out a small group of Honkai Beasts, defeating the twin Emperor-class Honkai Beasts with the assistance of Welt Yang, and finally, independently killing the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares.

According to the assessment of the three giants of Anti-Entropy and the allies of Destiny, Zhao Si's personal strength is weak, but as long as he pilots the Exia Gundam, he will be able to defeat the Destiny S-class Valkyrie.

Even a Valkyrie like Theresa Apocalypse, a Schicksal S-class Valkyrie, would be no match for Gundam Exia until she fully unleashes the Oath of Judah.

Rumor has it that upon hearing that she was being used as a combat unit, Theresa Apocalypse charged directly into the Anti-Entropy camp, only to be single-handedly suppressed by the still-wounded Anti-Entropy leader.

As for the match between the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance and the Second Herrscher, thanks to Dr. Tesla's reward of a 5-ton TNT equivalent atomic bomb, the Second Herrscher was seriously injured and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

However, with the intervention of the mysterious figure "The Clown", the Second Herrscher escaped from the encirclement of the Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader and Siegfried Kaslana. The Honkai energy detection reached its peak in an instant, and then the Second Herrscher opened a spatial channel and jumped to the moon.

According to the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, the Second Herrscher made a threatening statement before fleeing, saying that the other side would consider "the kid who pilots the tin man" as the first target and "the traitor of God" as the second target.

"Before we exterminate humanity, you two must die before humanity!"

After uttering such a vicious statement, the Second Herrscher scrambled to the moon to recover from her injuries, while Siegfried Kaslana, who still possessed combat strength, successfully forced back the mysterious clown man and brought the Anti-Entropy Alliance leader, who had been elbowed in the waist by the clown man, back to the Anti-Entropy camp.

In a post-season interview, Siegfried Kaslana first asked Walter Young, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance: Why use the zeroth rated power?

Eden's Star - Zero Rated Power, resembling a black hole, requires a long charging time and lacks super armor. As for its power, Welt Yang explained it as: to completely destroy the Second Herrscher and obliterate the core of the Herrscher of the Void.

Following this, Destiny and Anti-Entropy worked together, putting in extra hours to prepare the manned launch vehicle for the moon.

On February 4, 2000, Archbishop Otto Apocalypse of Destiny was very supportive of the cooperation between the two parties and extended an invitation to Walter Young, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, to meet on February 9 in the guest room of the Tower of Babel to discuss the details of the cooperation. The leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance agreed to the invitation.

On February 5, 2000, Zhao Si awoke and subsequently witnessed a meteorite from the moon streaking across the sky and crashing into the Earth.

The Second Herrscher's revenge has begun.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

P.S.: The plot is lagging again, and I just want to dunk on some soy sauce.

Chapter Fourteen: Meteorite Descends, Negotiations Underway

2000, April 2.

"Report! A small meteorite that fell from the moon has entered the Mariana Trench and may trigger an unprecedented tsunami. Cities along the western Pacific coast are undergoing emergency evacuations."

"Report! A small meteorite from the moon has struck Moscow, Russia, destroying more than 31% of the city. The death toll in Moscow is predicted to exceed 300 million."

"Report! A small meteorite that fell from the moon has impacted Los Angeles, North America. The extent of the damage is currently unknown."

"Report! A small meteorite from the moon has struck Sydney, Australia, destroying more than 57% of the city. The death toll in Sydney is predicted to exceed 500 million."

Inside the Tower of Babylon, Siegfried stood in front of the dedicated communication screen for Destiny, quietly listening to the casualty reports from various branches.

Because North America has become a base for anti-entropy, Destiny cannot obtain accurate casualty figures, but the number of casualties in the other three locations is increasing every moment.

"hateful!"

Siegfried slammed his clenched fists down on the table, cracks spreading across the entire marble table beneath his fists.

The number of casualties, as tallied by Fate alone, had already exceeded ten million. Siegfried looked at this cold string of numbers, and an indescribable sorrow filled his chest.

"Amber! Isn't today supposed to be the day of the meeting with the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance? Why hasn't the bishop appeared yet?"

The communication display screen followed Siegfried closely, keeping pace with him even as he strode away from the monitoring room.

"Lord Siegfried, please do not worry. The bishop will arrive as scheduled at 16:00 after he has finished his seclusion and is considering countermeasures. Please wait patiently."

齐格飞抬头瞄了一眼光屏内的时间：2000年2月9日15:27

There was still half an hour left before the meeting between the leaders of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, but Siegfried couldn't help but feel a surge of anger when he thought about the previous actions of the Archbishop of Destiny.

"Hold on, hold on, hold on... The Second Herrscher has already launched a meteorite at Earth! And the Bishop is still ordering all our troops to hold on? What's the difference between this and slow suicide?"

Did Otto ever really think about protecting humanity...?

Siegfried Kaslana thought resentfully that the intuition from the Kaslana family had precisely hit the nail on the head, but Siegfried dared not trust his own intuition at this moment.

If someone in the highest position commits evil deeds and squanders every life, then even at the cost of my own life, I will bring them down!

"Lord of Anti-Entropy! Have you recovered from your injuries...?"

"Don't disturb the patient's rest, you barbarian."

The automatic door temporarily blocked Siegfried's steps, and before he could finish his friendly greeting, Tesla, who was sitting by the hospital bed peeling an apple, shut him down.

Realizing his lapse in composure, Siegfried stood at attention. Lowering his voice, he asked Walter Young, who was reading in his hospital bed:

“Mr. Walter, Schicksal doesn’t do anything, but surely they should have tried Anti-Entropy, right?”

Walter sighed softly, closed the book, and looked up at Siegfried:

"Failed."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward became somewhat oppressive. The bishop's secretary, Amber, had long since cut off communications and fled, leaving Siegfried to mingle with the Anti-Entropy people.

After a while, Tesla added for Walter:

"Sixty hours ago, Anti-Entropy's North American headquarters attempted to launch three silver bullets toward the moon, intending to detonate them before the Herrscher of the Void used her spatial transfer ability, just like the operation six days ago."

"But unfortunately, as they approached the moon, the three silver bullets were hit by a large electromagnetic pulse, causing their electronic equipment to completely malfunction and become space debris floating between the Earth and the Moon."

"Fortunately, no one was injured in this test, and Walter's attitude was firm enough not to agree to the boy's plan to travel with the Silver Bullet."

Siegfried's eyelids twitched. He thought he was the most anxious one, but he didn't expect that someone was even more anxious than him, wanting to hitch a ride on the atomic bomb to the moon.

"The Second Herrscher...she must have gained new power on the moon, from the ruins on the far side of the moon."

In 1959, the far side of the moon was first photographed by the Soviet Union's Satellite 3. Subsequently, the two sides immediately launched an exploration of it, until they returned empty-handed in 1969. Only then did the two sides sign an agreement to stop the investigation of the far side of the moon and completely block all related intelligence.

If there were a place on the moon that could be considered a treasure trove for inheritance, allowing the Second Herrscher to control powers beyond themselves, the only place Walter Yang could think of was the ruins on the far side of the moon.

Just then, Einstein, the last giant of Anti-Entropy, entered the ward, accompanied by Zhao Si, the Celestial Being pilot who had shone brightly in the battle against the Second Herrscher.

"Leader, the analysis report of the meteorite fragments from North America is out. It's pretty much what we guessed, but we need more samples to reproduce it."

Siegfried watched as Einstein handed the tablet to Walter, who looked relieved after browsing it. This piqued Siegfried's curiosity, and he wanted to peek over and take a look.

"Siegfried."

"exist!"

Kaslana stood at attention again, without even having a chance to glance at him.

"The boy and I are going to the moon. Before that, please take us to see Bishop Otto."

This is why Siegfried was able to associate with the Anti-Entropy group, acting as a liaison between the two.

"The bishop? I just told the bishop's secretary that I wanted to see the bishop, but he wouldn't let me."

Siegfried couldn't help but click his tongue, and then the communicator in his pocket started beeping:

"Greetings, Lord Siegfried. His Holiness the Bishop has arrived at the Tower of Babylon. Please lead the Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader to the guest room of the Bishop's Chamber in the Tower of Babylon."

This perfectly timed message made Siegfried suspect that he was being monitored, and that while he was talking behind his bishop's back, the bishop's secretary came knocking on his door.
