Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

As long as he doesn't die, even if he only has half a brain left, she can save him.

"...That's it, it's that simple, you can capture a Herrscher."

The Herrscher of Rock, who was just chasing and beating Chen Jie, is now inside the small snow globe, frantically attacking the barrier, but the result is that the small snow globe only trembles slightly.

After recounting the events of the past two years to Chen Jie, as well as his own boastful achievements, Mebius was in high spirits.

This feeling was like winning a bet against Alicia, or like a huge success in an experiment!

Awesome!

"Oh, right, I've left you a surprise." Möbius snapped his fingers. "Momonga, go say hello to the person you've been longing for."

Flying squirrel?

Chen Jie looked around.

Apart from Raven, who is quite distinctive, most of the other World Serpent high-ranking members wear masks, black cloaks, and hoods, looking just like a bunch of gray serpents.

"Elke!" An excited female voice came from beside me, "It's so good to see you again..."

She removed her mask and hood, revealing her long gray hair.

Celia Shaniat.

Her family once arranged for her to be their bodyguard, intending to make her their marriage partner. In the end, she broke her leg while saving them.

She stroked Elke's face; he still looked like a young man, while she was already 29.

The excessive training he underwent in his youth, coupled with his later pursuit of power through experiments involving the implantation of the Tranquility Gem, left him with irreversible hidden injuries. In addition, Europeans and Americans tend to age faster than Asians...

All the words I had envisioned to say to Elke after we met turned into a sigh, a sigh that contained so much emotion.

She was once a young girl, but now she is old.

How could Chen Jie not know the other party's feelings? It's just that he was too young at the time, and even if he wanted to do something, he was powerless to do so. In addition, he was focused on research and saving the world, and neglected this aspect.

Don't forget, after he transmigrated, he had the building left by his parents and several small fortunes.

Before I knew the Honkai was coming, I had lived a wild and unrestrained life for a while, having a lot of fun.

His threshold for happiness has increased, which has directly led to his current insensitivity to romantic relationships, and he even seems to be in a kind of sage mode.

Even the hardest and coldest heart will melt in those eyes that retain their charm like warm water.

A reunion that was both surprising and touching.

Reunion is the most romantic thing in the world.

……

(Note: According to research, a Herrscher Core and a Divine Key of the same position can coexist. For example, when Sirin had six Herrscher Cores, the Black Abyss White Flower and the Judgment of Heavenly Fire were still in the hands of Cecilia and Siegfried.)

(It is speculated that the previous generation mastered a method to transfer a portion of the power from the core to the Divine Key)

(There is still some uncertain information (due to the long time that has passed, memory may be inaccurate/official sources may not be available/revisions are possible). The Divine Key is only in its complete state when the core is inlaid. Also, the damage of the same-origin Divine Key and the absorption of the core gem by the current generation of Herrschers can both strengthen the latter.)

(That's why I came up with the secondary idea that powers are like a cake to be shared. Sorry for taking up almost 200 words; it's part of the bonus word count at the end of the chapter. Please understand, I had to write it to avoid arguments.)

Chapter 188 Where did the Lawgiver of Knowledge go?

Celia was once a prodigy in the Shaniet family, enjoying immense fame and success.

Until she was shot in the knee...

It was a large-caliber sniper rifle; in an instant, her entire leg was torn apart, and her path as a Valkyrie was thus ended.

Not to mention Bronya, all three starter Pokémon are overpowered.

Although she is trained in the legs and moves with a detachable exoskeleton armor, her main combat weapon is her robotic companion, the Heavy Bunny 19c.

That was a gift Seele gave to Bronya—a fully functional combat mech. Normally in an energy state, it could be materialized using Honkai energy and could even carry her flying.

After becoming the Herrscher of Reason, she healed her leg and incidentally enlarged her breasts (this has since been confirmed as a rumor since the appearance of the duck mother).

Putting aside the issue of cheating, for a normal Valkyrie, getting injured or disabled basically means saying goodbye to frontline work, retiring directly, or being transferred to logistics or as an instructor.

Celia's dream was to become a strong and beautiful woman like Cecilia, but this injury shattered that dream.

Even if some cold-hearted people say that she saved him because it was her bodyguard's job, an impulsive act without considering the consequences.

But the conclusion is that she saved herself once.

Chen Jie acknowledged this affection.

“I’m willing to listen to your story over the years.”

He grasped the other person's hand, and this time he didn't flinch or try to brush it off.

The air seemed to thicken, and an unpleasant coughing sound came from the side.

"Ahem, although my interruption came at an inopportune time, it should be my turn to shine now."

Mebius looked at Chen Jie with a teasing smile:

"Remember, you owe me one. Now let's welcome our newest member, codename... um... let's call him Alpaca."

Damn it... She definitely did it on purpose.

However, Chen Jie could only accept it with a smile at this moment.

Join the World Serpent.

It doesn't matter where you do your research; there's no need to seek protection from a protective umbrella.

According to Mebius's side of information, Umbrella has ultimately gone astray, becoming somewhat reckless, disregarding the impact on reality, and determined to ruin Destiny and seek revenge.

After all, the leader is Sirin, and most of the high-ranking members are children who came from the Babylon Laboratory.

There's a saying that goes, "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering." Although she, as Oliveira, also enjoyed the full Honkai energy infusion package, she was ultimately just a simulated identity of Chen Jie.

Their mindsets are completely different!

For example, when Chen Jie was exploring various possibilities of time travel, he read a lot of novels.

To highlight the protagonist's strong willpower, many authors often create a series of adventures, cultivation techniques, or elixirs that cause immense suffering when used.

Now, let's describe the people around us. Many people are afraid because of the side effects, and some people with misplaced confidence can't get through it.

Then the protagonist persevered and gained immense benefits, while the actions of the supporting characters all served to highlight the protagonist's strong will.

He analyzed that the fundamental reason was that this kind of patience was profitable.

Without further ado, they would hang up the protagonist who had just transmigrated and beat him for seventy or eighty years.

There was no benefit, no reason, just pure torture...

Leaving aside whether readers can handle it, most of the main characters can't.

There are two prerequisites for this: first, the suffering endured will not cause permanent harm that will affect the future; second, there will be benefits, and these benefits will be positively correlated with the amount of suffering endured.

That's why the main characters can be crying out in pain one moment and then suddenly be full of energy the next, even undergoing a complete transformation. Their future potential won't decrease; in some cases, it might even increase, or they might become significantly stronger immediately.

That's just his mindset.

For Chen Jie, dying in the simulation would not result in injury in reality, and if he could endure it, he could gain Oliveira's Honkai energy resistance.

They are different from Celine.

For them, everything in the Babylonian Laboratory was despair.

Therefore, Chen Jie would not try to persuade them.

Of course, I don't particularly support their actions, so I won't go back.

Through Elke's mind, he suddenly discovered something.

Some behavioral patterns in the simulation are still greatly influenced by the simulated entity!

For example, when he was using Oliveira's identity, he was obsessed with defeating Destiny, but as Elke, he would be more rational and only think about killing Otto and then taking over the position by using Shaniat's identity.

And when she's playing Karin, she clearly lacks energy, like a salted fish, no, a lazy cat.

I asked the simulator in my mind, and the answer I got was...

When simulating different identities, memories resonate with those identities, and you also borrow their humanity as a shell.

I can probably understand it.

Mebius clapped his hands twice: "Now that the orientation is over, it's time to watch my performance."

The spatial curvature calculation is complete.

The collapse of the world bubble has begun to be inverted.

The snow globe of the town in her hand got smaller and smaller, but she always kept it under control, not squeezing it inward, but reducing its external volume.

Ultimately, it collapsed into a bright spot.

The gray snake behind him handed over a sequence core of the Herrscher of Rock. Because Old Yang could copy the Star of Eden, he had found it in Old Yang's database after he stole the core, so he copied a batch of them.

Möbius placed the shining fulcrum into the sequence core, which began to crack under the strain. At this point, Möbius used his spatial powers to stabilize and reinforce it.

The Herrscher of Rock was trapped in a quantum superposition state between life and death, and the living core was thus created.

Mebius's expression remained unchanged; he still swallowed the core with a half-smile, like a venomous snake in disguise.

"Alright, now I'll assign the tasks."

Don't be fooled by her seemingly confident demeanor.

In fact, Mebius was still taken aback when the Ninth Herrscher: Herrscher of Rock appeared in the Mini World bubble.

Wrong! The order is wrong!

The Eighth Law: Where has the Law of Knowledge gone?

She had modified the Reversal Key; the entire machine and the entire experiment were all aimed at the Herrscher of Consciousness. Even if it had been born naturally and had a certain possibility of disorder, it would not have appeared in her hands.

Unless the Lawgiver of Knowledge has already been born!

Just two months before Chen Jie arrived, she was researching methods for manufacturing living cores.

But nothing major has happened in the past two months, has it?

Well, things have come to this point. What we need to do is not to be suspicious, but to find the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

Möbius assigned the task, ordering a detailed search for information from around the world over the past two months, prioritizing it to the highest level and utilizing all available channels, including both conventional and unconventional ones, such as spies infiltrating the other three major organizations.

Since the emergence of Umbrella, organizations in the Honkai world have embarked on a path of no return called mutual infiltration. There were some before, but definitely not this many.

The number of spies in various organizations is rising sharply, with many double, triple, and even quadruple spies emerging...

Your circle is really messy!

……

Chapter 189 One Kun Year is...

Chen Jie began his research on snakes in the world. Möbius gave him a high degree of freedom, providing him with both materials and instruments as needed.

This kind of environment, where I don't have to think about anything else and can focus solely on my research, is so comfortable.

As for Celia's physical problems, they weren't a problem for him; there were plenty of ways to solve them.

Not only him, but Möbius could have easily solved the problem, but she didn't. Chen Jie guessed there were two possibilities: one was that she wasn't interested, and that she only saved Celia's life because of him, let alone helping her recuperate and become plump...

The second possibility is that she's waiting for me to beg her?

He benefited greatly from the internal research needs and tasks of the World Serpent, as well as Möbius's ingenious ideas over the past 50,000 years.

After capturing the Herrscher of Rock and creating its core, Mebius began preparing for the capture experiment targeting the Tenth Herrscher: Herrscher of Domination.

This progress feels a little too fast...

They're almost at the point where the three starter Pokémon from the original work don't even have time to grow up.

Using World Serpent's channels, he focused his investigation on matters related to Kiana and the other two.

After Cocolia's downfall, the children from the orphanage were taken in by conservatives.

Bronya joined Anti-Entropy with her outstanding programming skills and became a member of Anti-Entropy's game studio.

Let's not even talk about the issue of employing child labor.

Is this like graduating and immediately becoming a security guard, avoiding forty years of detours in life? Spain has also become a game producer like the future "Big Spain" in one step.

Even if one has lost emotions, can one still possess a heart that yearns for creation?
