Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

bah bah bah!

This was certainly not Chen Jie's real thought, but it just appeared out of nowhere, like a bucket of expired iced cola being poured over his head when he was furious.

It was cold and rancid.

It felt like a thousand old nuns, the Holy Mother, were constantly nagging in your ear.

Chen Jie's eyes gradually lost their luster.

She could already imagine her miserable future, and what was most infuriating was that she couldn't vent her anger.

It's like having a volcano blocked just before it's about to erupt, or like wanting to unleash a few insults after a game ends only to find that the other person has blocked you.

Sizzle—Sizzle—

Chen Jie suddenly heard some more sounds.

The initial sound was faint and barely audible, yet it seemed to possess a magical power to stir one's emotions.

She could feel that her hatred for the researchers, as well as her arrogance and rebelliousness, had been amplified.

Under the influence of unknown factors, your Honkai Energy Adaptation LV8 has advanced to Honkai Energy Adaptation LV9.

Chen Jie, who was familiar with the plot, suddenly understood: Oh, this was the will of collapse trying to bewitch her.

"I can't do anything!" She chanted this supposedly very effective spell in the Honkai world in her mind.

"So... do you want power?" The voice grew stronger and stronger, as if it were becoming a tangible whisper.

Chen Jie was simply puzzled.

The Second Herrscher should be Sirin, right? Is the Honkai Will such a casual person that it flirts with anyone it sees as suitable?

She thought about it and figured it was probably a matter of time. Her Honkai energy resistance was equally good, and judging from the past, she also had reason to hate, but she was earlier!

Most importantly, someone who isn't as clever as Walter, but rather a fool, is easier to be bewitched and controlled!

"Yes, yes," she readily agreed.

Wouldn't this seem a bit too eager, or like someone who's only after quick success?

It's okay, she's always been portrayed as a fool.

Unable to keep secrets, driven by a desire for revenge and a thirst for power, he naturally appears impatient.

"Will you take revenge on them? Tear those hypocritical researchers apart and declare war on false idealism?"

The sound began to stir up Number 1's past memories.

Illness, a filial son and his adopted brother, researchers with cruel smiles...

If those painful memories are likened to the silt at the bottom of a clear pond, then this sound is like a stick, stirring up the entire surface of the water and making it murky.

Yes, yes.

It's perceptible that under the influence of the Honkai Will, a Herrscher personality that only wants to destroy everything is about to be born within her.

However, this idea was suppressed in its embryonic stage by the simulator as soon as it emerged.

It wouldn't allow such a ridiculous scenario as multiple personalities vying for Chen Jie's body in the simulation.

"Tear open a human's heart, and you can truly become a Herrscher!" Seeing that it had failed to give birth to a new personality, the Honkai Will had no choice but to remind him.

Tear!

Chen Jie tore it up without saying a word.

"All right."

I am no longer human!

This has made even the Honkai Will, which is responsible for instigating corruption, somewhat forgetful.

It's like during a kidnapping, you find that the hostage is more proactive than you, and even more familiar with the process than you are...

"Your core has just solidified, and your power is still very weak."

"The energy of this tower, if you absorb it, can help you grow."

"Go."

"Go and destroy that arrogant tower!"

Why did Chen Jie hiss so decisively, without any hesitation?

Because he discovered that what the Honkai Will was presenting to him for him to tear apart was the simulator's saintly heart!

A saintly heart is still a heart, there's nothing wrong with that.

However, that wasn't her own true self, or rather, her true inner self; it was just a term.

Thanks to the simulation, choosing to be dumbfounded in the simulated world doesn't mean you'll actually become an idiot; it just affects some options during the text simulation period and makes your thinking and reactions slower in various aspects after entering the world.

It was Number 1 who was misled; what does it have to do with Chen Jie?

……

Chapter 7: I've Become the Herrscher of the Void?

I've finally gotten rid of that damned saintly heart.

Chen Jie is a brainless, self-righteous saint. He thinks he's being kind, but these are the guys who die the most in the early days of the apocalypse, and they also harm others.

Not to mention that this entry caused him to be stopped halfway through his cursing, which is no less hateful than if a stranger suddenly walked up and choked you while you were urinating.

That's perfect, there just happens to be this essential step on the path to forming the Herrscher core.

Then tear up the card!

Lawyers are not human.

To put it in an extreme way, they are a group of Honkai Beasts disguised as humans.

Why did Walter Young die, resurrect, and die again in the original story, and why could he do sit-ups repeatedly?

After becoming a Herrscher, his consciousness had been transferred to the jewel-like Herrscher Core.

The same applies to Celine.

As for brains, they're just decorations; those important figures wouldn't understand them.

Only after hearts are torn apart can the core of the Herrscher begin to solidify.

The Herrscher core begins to solidify; your Honkai Energy Adaptation LV9 advances to Honkai Energy Manipulation LV1.

So this is how the advancement path works: from resistance to adaptation, and finally upgrading to the ability to manipulate Honkai energy.

However, the final step may only be taken by Herrschers, or by those previous-generation black technology warriors who have undergone super-transformation surgery.

I've become the Herrscher of the Void?!

Chen Jie still finds it hard to believe until he discovers that he has indeed gained a peculiar sense of space.

It wasn't the intuitive sense of up, down, left, and right that most people have for navigation and finding their way; rather, in her perception, space became something tangible, like air, water, or clay.

"Would I be considered to have stolen Sirin's opportunity ahead of time?"

Chen Jie rolled her eyes, never expecting that the plots of those rebirth and time-travel novels would happen to her.

However, this was not a good opportunity to begin with.

Becoming an apostle of chaos, spreading calamity throughout the world, destroying everything while also destroying oneself.

"This plot point is a guaranteed death ending, so I'll help you get through it!" she thought to herself.

In exchange, Chen Jie decided to find Xilin a better home.

For example, having Cecilia and Siegfried adopt her would have fulfilled her desire for affection (especially maternal love).

Not only Sirin, but also other children were used as test subjects.

We'll save as many as we can.

As the Herrscher of the Void, she can open the gate to the Imaginary Space. The Divine Key made from the core of the previous generation's Herrscher of the Void can even traverse countless world bubbles. With this ability, finding a safe place for children would be too easy.

After condensing the core, Chen Jie suddenly found that his back was no longer sore, his legs no longer hurt, and he felt much more energetic and intelligent.

Turning to look in the mirror, my long hair was shinier and smoother, my dark circles had disappeared, and my skin looked better...

Honkai energy is truly omnipotent!

It's ridiculous that it also comes with level 8 beauty filters and critical medical treatment capabilities.

Such a significant change could not escape the notice of the researchers monitoring the area.

"Quick, record the data from Number 1! This is a new discovery!"

Through spatial perception, Chen Jie was able to sense the unusual movements of the researchers behind the two-way mirror.

"Tch, this is troublesome."

A bad teammate is always more terrifying than a god-like enemy. You know, this Honkai Will, doesn't it know when to come and tempt itself again, when the surveillance personnel are tired late at night?

These guys who have already seen themselves transform definitely can't be allowed to live.

Chen Jie walked to a blind spot in the surveillance footage and swiped his finger downwards.

A purplish-black door swung open, and several Honkai-infected animals rushed out from behind it, knocking the researchers, who hadn't yet reacted, to the ground.

How could these civilian staff possibly stand a chance against the infected animals? Screaming and running for their lives, they were torn into pieces of varying sizes in just a few seconds.

The door was opened wherever it was closest, and the infected animals were brought in from inside the tower to make up the numbers.

A youth beggar's version of the trial.

There's no way around it, the Honkai energy isn't enough. If it weren't for the large amount of Honkai energy injected over the years, and the fact that there's still some stored up inside, this little door probably wouldn't even be able to open.

Logically speaking, all Herrschers should have no shortage of Honkai energy.

Each Herrscher has a Herrscher Core, which connects to the Imaginary Space, providing a continuous supply of Honkai energy.

It's like having a built-in fountain of mana.

Among them, the Herrscher of the Void can directly open the gate to the Imaginary Space, summoning Honkai Beasts and weapons (Gate of Babylon).

However, Chen Jie's core has not yet been fully formed.

How do you condense the core? It requires a massive amount of Honkai energy!

Where does Honkai energy come from? The core itself provides the power!

This is similar to some games where the requirement to complete a certain dungeon is a set of endgame gear for that dungeon, which is unsolvable.

Unlike the normal process of Herrscher birth, a normal Herrscher can only be born after a certain intensity of Honkai occurs in a certain area.

But she was directly chosen by the Honkai Will, which gives the impression that she was handpicked.

While the feeling of getting in through connections is exhilarating, the price is that, compared to other Herrschers, the Herrscher of the Void experiences an extra period of weakness.

In the original storyline, Sirin also had to siphon off the 6500W Honkai energy reactor under the Tower of Babylon in order to replenish her core and restore her combat power.

Despite the pungent smell of blood emanating from her nose, Chen Jie was not overwhelmed by the sudden power. As someone who knew the plot, she naturally wouldn't become arrogant like Xilin.

It would be easy to destroy the Babylonian laboratory, but the consequence of doing so would be that it would draw the world's attention to this place.

I have some big announcement to make: the Second Herrscher has been born here!

That's courting death.

The world of Honkai is very complex, and a nascent Herrscher of the Void simply cannot grasp it.

It's actually quite funny.

Other Herrschers had their brains burned and their intelligence reduced by Honkai energy, but for her, it was actually an increase in intelligence.

Becoming a Herrscher instantly negated the negative traits of being dull-witted and having a saintly heart.

Perhaps it's a case of two negatives equaling a positive?

If she was previously a kindergarten-level powerhouse who couldn't even do single-digit addition and subtraction, then she is now a middle school powerhouse who has mastered addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division!

Although I still can't do complex learning and calculations, at least I won't have the same difficulty controlling my body and the headaches that come with thinking as before.

A junior high school prodigy, terrifyingly so!

Chen Jie believes that if there is an average level of intelligence for ordinary people, the Lawbreakers should be slightly below that average.

It must be the influence of the Honkai Will.
