Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

After Mebius returned to World Serpent, he retrieved Oliveira's original Herrscher core from Schicksal.

If you eliminate all the impossibilities, what remains must be the truth.

This Dr. Snake actually managed to snatch the core back from Otto, despite the fact that the World Serpent, which was on the verge of collapse and whose strength was already at the bottom among the four factions of Destiny, Anti-Entropy, Umbrella, and World Serpent, and which had been infiltrated by a large number of Umbrella spies.

How did she do that?

Well, it's not entirely unbelievable. After all, technology is the primary productive force and can be transformed into powerful combat strength. They've been stuck on the battlefield for 50,000 years, unable to conduct experiments, but they can generate countless ideas.

It would be a disservice to her if she didn't create a big news story.

Countdown...over!

A ripple spread through the town, like a purple-black lightning bolt moving about.

The earth trembled and cracked, as if something was about to burst forth from the ground.

The Honkai Impact 3rd is coming!

The earthquake is getting stronger.

A metal pyramid emerged from the ground, with countless pipes and mechanical devices piled up and intertwined on it, while at the top of the pyramid was a glass vessel.

It's somewhat similar to the one who imprisoned Chen Jie in the research institute before, but the person in the vessel has a mixed appearance of Oliveira and Mebius.

Because of his green hair, he leans more towards the latter.

Chen Jie recognized the metal pyramid device at a glance.

One version of the Reverse Key was designed by Elke, Einstein, and Tesla!

It's confirmed. Under the protection of Tianming Anti-Entropy, no one has escaped the fate of being fleeced by her.

"Is this... about creating a Herrscher?!"

This is probably the truth.

Using his own clones, he artificially triggered the collapse in this sealed-off town, which served as a testing ground...

No, considering the state of those strange people, they are probably some kind of clones created by Mebius to deceive the Honkai into descending, and then guide the Herrscher to appear.

What other tricks might they have up their sleeves next, to capture and control the newly born Herrscher?

Chen Jie controlled the Soul Steel Mech to transform and hide deeper underground.

Let's just play it safe for now.

Using the pages of the Key of Dimensions, they pasted them onto the spatial barrier to begin cracking it. On the other side, the Herrscher was being conceived, and the two sides seemed to be racing against time.

The cloned Serpent awakened first.

She looked toward where Chen Jie was, and even though he was hiding underground, he was as conspicuous in her vision as a torch in the dark.

Driven by power, with Chen Jie at the core, the surrounding soil and rocks began to gather and squeeze towards him.

"We've been discovered?"

Phase travel!

Leaving the core that was gradually being compressed into a stone sphere, from the perspective of the Soul Steel Flying Insects outside, it could be seen that the Herrscher's gaze was once again locked onto Chen Jie without bias.

Once might be a coincidence, but twice would indicate some kind of inevitability!

He immediately understood the reason.

A blind cat caught a dead mouse; the burrowing old man was caught by the Herrscher of Rock!

"How much longer will it take for the simulator to analyze the surrounding spatial barriers?"

He's no match for the Herrscher unless he creates a global Soul Steel plague or hacks into some high-tech weaponry from another dimension.

I'll get there in about 3 minutes, as quickly as possible!

But with the Key of Dimensions and the mech providing a brief respite, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Several jets deployed from the back of SP-2, propelling it into the air. For the Herrscher of Rock, standing on the ground to fight her was definitely the worst option.

The other person beckoned with their finger.

Dozens of times the force of gravity were applied to Chen Jie's body, and the entire mecha slammed into the ground. Then the ground surged like waves, converging and pressing against him once more.

Using force to suppress others!

Simple and brutal, but Chen Jie's only way to escape was to use phase teleportation to get away a distance just as the mech malfunctioned and was about to collapse under the pressure.

No way! Phase Shift only has a one-minute cooldown, and if we keep using it like this, the number of charges we've accumulated will be depleted in just a few dozen seconds!

We cannot allow her to attack without restraint.

Recall the Soulsteel machines scattered throughout the town.

They were reconstructed into ten floating cannons, which hovered around the Herrscher of Rock and began to attack her.

But those fragile beams of light couldn't even break through her imaginary barrier!

Imaginary Barrier, somewhat like the AT Field in EVA (the Xiaomi planner is an EVA fan), is a technique that only Herrschers can use. It is an absolute field that can be immune to most normal attacks.

In the story, both Sirin and Welt used the Imaginary Barrier to defend against attacks, but Welt's stance was clearly very different from that of the Herrscher of the Void. His only highlight was tearing Sirin's Imaginary Barrier apart (the AT fields neutralized each other...).

Other Herrschers, such as Wendy, the Herrscher of Wind, who is known as the shame of Herrschers, have not shown a complete imaginary number barrier protection mechanism.

Back when he was the Herrscher of the Void, Oliveira, Chen Jie had also studied this thing for a while.

Similar to the energy shifting skill of the Key of Other Dimensions.

The Herrscher Core serves as a key connecting to the imaginary space, and the overflowing imaginary energy spontaneously constructs a deflection field. The reason why the Herrscher of the Void's imaginary barrier is stronger than that of other Herrschers is because she originally possessed spatial power.

The best way to deal with the imaginary number barrier is to break it with a sufficiently high-energy attack.

Unfortunately, Chen Jie doesn't have the basic conditions right now. If he had more Soul Steel and a few hundred floating cannons to launch a saturation attack, he might be able to force this Herrscher of Rock to her limit.

Then let's try a different tactic!

The ten floating cannons disbanded, transforming into tens of thousands of Soul Steel Fireflies, which scattered around the Herrscher of Rock.

The next instant, all the fireflies burst into a blinding flash of light.

Chen Jie used Phase Travel to leave the rock ball, and before the new gravity suppression could hit him, he took off again.

Shoot from areas with poor visibility.

If you can't harm the other party, then make sure they can't find you either.

……

Chapter 182 Lord Möbius

This fighting style can only bully Herrschers who are not very knowledgeable.

Chen Jie didn't know what state the Herrscher of Rock was in, but he could guess that it was clearly not the kind of Herrscher with humanity that existed in this generation.

It was more like a newly created soul, devoid of memory and intelligence, which then immediately became a Herrscher, attacking indiscriminately based on commands and instincts.

They're bullying kids!

However, that little kid on the other side... wields immense power and authority.

Can't see Chen Jie's location?

Then let's launch an area-of-effect attack!

A massive gravitational field appeared, encompassing most of the town, and everything within its range was subjected to immense gravitational pressure.

"They have no sportsmanship..." Chen Jie sighed inwardly, before being forced to the ground again.

Once the opponent's feet touched the ground, the Herrscher of Rock's intelligence took over, and even in a blindingly bright light, she could clearly locate Chen Jie's position.

Just like when they found him hiding underground before.

More than a dozen black gravity spheres appeared behind her, surrounding and bouncing towards Chen Jie from different positions. There were no blind spots to avoid them, and the only way to escape was to use phase teleportation to teleport away.

Not enough time!

The simulator's voice carried a hint of regret; its computing power was equally formidable.

I need another 1 minute and 35 seconds to break through the spatial barrier and find a way out, but based on the frequency at which you consumed phase teleportation attempts in your previous battles, you can only last a maximum of 54 seconds...

The implication was that Chen Jie could give up on this simulation.

"enough."

Faced with more than a dozen jets of dark gravity that seemed to slice through the blinding light, Chen Jie stood frozen in place, as if terrified.

Forgery (fake).

The simulator is wondering if this is a gamble, hoping to turn the tide with this random skill?

The next moment, a somewhat dazed rabbit jumped out of the spatial rift.

pity……

The black and red gravity springs surrounded Chen Jie like a cage, while the jet-black sword pierced towards the mecha.

But they all missed.

It's an energy shift!

Every time Chen Jie uses the Key of Dimension, he can stack a layer of offset force field around him!

Using Elke's brain, he is extremely sensitive to timing in battle. Each layer of the offset force field lasts for 10 seconds, with no limit to the number of layers that can be stacked, and the stacking time is refreshed upon repeated stacking...

The Dimensional Key skill will be used once every 9 seconds.

Besides phase travel, there's also dimensional gaps for storing things... and the creation of fakes (pseudo) that I haven't used much in a long time.

Of course, at the same time, I also harbored some unrealistic fantasies, such as what if a super powerful combat force was randomly projected?

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

However, the superimposed energy deflection at this point is enough to defend against these gravity projectiles, not by directly withstanding them, but by deflecting the attack like the sloped armor of a tank.

As the number of layers increases, his resistance to all attacks from the Herrscher of Rock will increase.

This includes gravity compression and even rock compression.

This way, you can withstand the attack for longer, and if you really can't hold on any longer, you can use Phase Shuttle to jump over it.

Unfortunately, the number of times the Key of Dimensions can be used is limited.

Otherwise, if it were to stack up infinitely, reaching billions of trillions of layers, even if a Honkai God descended, Chen Jie would dare to go up and mock and provoke him.

However, it lasts for 3 minutes, or 180 seconds. Assuming a layer stacks every 9 seconds and you can use the skill 20 times, it's still enough to cover the accumulated uses and cooldowns.

However, it was extremely challenging, like dancing on the edge of a knife.

There are 30 seconds left before the simulator breaks through the spatial barrier, and the phase travel is about to be completed one last time.

Fortunately, this newly formed Herrscher of Rock has combat intelligence like that of a child or a monster in a game, and only knows how to use a few fixed moves.

If it were any other Herrscher with normal intelligence, even Sirin, Chen Jie wouldn't have lasted this long.

"Elke is such a weak card..."

Originally a template focused on logistics and scientific research, its survival under the rule of the Herrscher of Rock is entirely due to the support of dimensional rifts and the use of SP-2.

"Having survived this time, I will develop even more powerful mechs," Chen Jie vowed silently.

The kind that surpasses even Balzeb, the artificial god of anti-entropy!

The Herrscher of Rock held the stone ball like a child, and she could feel the worm inside being gradually crushed and deformed.

Even so, Chen Jie gritted his teeth and did not use Phase Shuttle.

After the simulator finishes parsing, the most likely way to leave the town is to instantly create distance between yourself and the Herrscher of Earth and use Phase Shift to escape the barrier.

11, 10...

Chen Jie is about to use the last accumulated dimensional gap to refresh the superimposed offset force field.

Wait, use Phase Travel to jump away, don't use up the last Dimensional Gap!!!

Although he didn't know why the simulator said that, he instinctively chose to believe it.

Phase Shift created a significant distance between them and the Herrscher of Rock.

The pressure on his body vanished instantly, and the Soul Steel Mech began to put the crushed muscles and bones back into place, like a jigsaw puzzle.

The way to leave this eerie town is to put yourself into a dimensional rift.
