Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

"That cat just now looked like the one that attacked Rita before!" she muttered, slapping her forehead. "Let's catch it first."

With a swift leap, she moved at high speed in the direction the cat had gone, like a martial arts master from a Chinese fantasy novel, running across the rooftops of London buildings, even more agile than a real cat.

"Meow meow meow! (This crazy woman not only knocked my things away, but she also tried to take advantage of me!)"

To show he wasn't slacking off, Chen Jie even summoned the Valkyrie armor.

It fled, she chased, it couldn't escape even with wings.

Arrow Piercing Star!

Chen Jie conjured a blazing phantom spear in his hand, aimed it at the cat, and threw it. The blazing waves left a trail, and the light refracted as it passed through air of different densities, as if space itself was distorted.

"Meow! (I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!)"

Stan could sense that it absolutely could not withstand this attack, so it immediately activated the transformation device in its collar, and with a sudden increase in agility, it barely dodged the phantom spear's throw.

Unexpectedly, this was only the first part. The phantom spear landed and transformed into a vortex of fire. Stan staggered and was slowly sucked in.

Chen Jie raised his hand, and flames surged. Several more illusory star spears appeared above the giant cat's head, like the Sword of Damocles descending to pin it to the spot.

"Mmm... (I give up)"

The moment the spear pierced the cat's body, it shattered. It turned out that only the first one was real; the others were just for show.

Chen Jie cooperated by making a surprised expression, his mouth opening into an "o" shape:

"Is its defense really that strong?"

The illusory attack also represents contact, through which commands are given to the Honkai Beast.

Stan felt his body move uncontrollably toward Biola.

With a bang, the latter was sent flying by the heavy blow, crashing through two walls before finally managing to stop thanks to the spear stuck in the ground.

"Damn it, its power has increased by more than one level since last time!"

Otto was only monitoring from a distance and could only analyze and judge based on the visual presentation. So if she said that the Honkai Beast had become stronger, then it had become stronger.

Biola charged up for another attack, unleashing a barrage of sound and light effects and causing massive destruction to the surrounding area. The battle raged from one end of the street to the other, leaving nearby buildings in ruins.

"Eighty, eighty..."

Chen Jie counted in her mind. She was having a great time, like a frolicking husky, crashing and destroying things, because she knew that all the destruction she caused would ultimately be paid for by fate.

Her battle with Stan was so loud that everyone around had already run away. She wasn't destroying buildings, but rather destroying Otto's secret stash of wealth!

Those attacks that seemed to easily destroy a small building didn't seem to bother Stan at all, but those seemingly light cat punches would send Biola flying several meters if he couldn't dodge them in time.

"I was careless." Chen Jie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Even a pawn has the right to be promoted to the bottom rank when it reaches the end of the board."

She had already implanted a spatial core within Stan's body to ensure that this biggest weakness would not reappear after this battle.

If the other party hadn't acted so inconsiderately, she wouldn't have had to put on such a tiring one-woman show.

"I don't know what methods they used to become so much stronger in such a short time, so what they're after must be something else... like my life!"

"Could this be a trap?"

As Biora murmured, a blue-purple lightning ball seemed to strike from afar, shattering the star spear in her hand and sending her flying, leaving only a huge crater in the ground.

That's right, Chen Jie did it himself!

By summoning a lightning ball that grows larger in front of your field of vision, and adding certain sound, light, and electrical effects, you can disguise it on the screen as a shot coming from a distance that appears larger when closer and smaller when farther away.

"Sniping, lightning? This seems to be the power of the Third Divine Key."

"This really is a trap, I have to get out of here!"

Several star spears were thrown into the river, and the overheated water instantly caused a steam explosion.

Using the steam as cover, Chen Jie slipped away.

Looking at the streets that looked like they had been destroyed by a tornado, Chen Jie dialed Otto's number.

"Your Grace, I have something to report to you. I have just been attacked..."

……

At the Destiny Headquarters, Amber reminded Otto, who was listening to a report:

“Your Excellency, I must remind you of something.”

"Our budget is running out..."

After listening to Biola's report and reviewing the surveillance footage, although I instinctively felt that this sudden attack was a bit strange, I didn't find anything wrong.

"The Third Divine Key... I never expected it to be in the hands of World Serpent as well."

"Plus that technology that enhances Honkai Beasts... it seems I need to invest more forces and pieces into London to catch that slippery snake by the tail."

"Make preparations to send these teams of Valkyries to London, and also take a few more of my Soul Steel Bodies with them."

Otto sighed and gave the order to Biola:

"Biola, next time you fight an enemy, you should try to control the aftermath. If it's a strong enemy, try to fight in an open area. The cleanup work is too costly right now."

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Chen Jie nodded.

Be brave enough to admit your mistakes, but resolutely refuse to change them.

When the outer circle of Destiny arrived, some of them were responsible for hypnotizing ordinary people who witnessed the battle. As a result, the ruins where Chen Jie and Stan fought became a gas leak and explosion accident.

London remains peaceful today.

After a slight change of disguise, she continued to carry out her mission of tracking and protecting Rita as if nothing had happened. Well, at this point, there was really no difference between secretly protecting her and directly stepping forward to protect her.

Chen Jie simply didn't know how to approach Rita.

It was a little awkward.

……

After escaping, Stan, following Chen Jie's command in its mind, circled back to the spot where the box had fallen and retrieved it.

Then it started counting down in its mind. Half an hour later, it ran to the park, stuffed the box into the gap of the armrest of a bench, and then ran away.

Just then, Biola strolled into the park and stretched.

"The weather is really nice, let's sit down and take a nap."

He sat down, took out the box, put it in his pocket, and fumbled to open it.

A piece of paper, and a Honkai Beast.

Being monitored is a hassle; even exchanging a short piece of information has to be done like a secret rendezvous between spies.

Now, how do we see the information on that piece of paper?

Chen Jie suddenly thought of the dimensional gap.

When he accesses things, his consciousness probes into them and he can roughly perceive the appearance of each object... It's a bit like the world seen through the eyes of a nearsighted person, but if you look closely, you can still make out some details.

……

Chapter 82 World, Umbrella, Serpent

He ordered the insect-shaped Honkai Beast to stay still and put the note and the insect into the dimensional rift.

It took almost half an hour to piece together the words on the note, letter by letter.

It turns out that the insect was one of a pair of Honkai Beasts with a blood connection; if you plucked its wings, the other one would also vibrate.

Based on this, the World Serpent and she can communicate via Morse code.

Taking advantage of the stretching motion, Chen Jie used his thumb as a knife to poke a small hole in his back, and then stuffed the insect-shaped Honkai Beast into it.

It's time to get rid of Stan...

Originally, the intention was to directly detonate the spatial core, thus eliminating any possibility of evidence. Otto could only speculate that World Serpent possessed a power that could instantly increase the combat strength of Honkai Beasts, but with significant side effects.

Perhaps it was due to Oliveira's physical condition; women are naturally drawn to such adorable kittens. Moved by compassion, she sighed and issued a command through the spatial core, instructing Stan to conceal himself and escape from London to dig potatoes in Siberia.

"Greetings, everyone from the World Serpent. This is the Herrscher of the Void." Controlling the muscles in her back to twitch, she sent out a message.

buzzing...

The insect began to vibrate in response.

She suddenly realized something—Olivia's intelligence was far inferior to Elke's by more than the entirety of Chen Jie's...

I can't decode and translate at the same time right now.

"Send it slower." My brain isn't working properly, and she didn't say the second half of the sentence directly.

Finally, we've made contact with the World Serpent.

Chen Jie leaked Otto's plan, and after Otto obtained the Soul Steel, he connected the series of coincidences of the second Divine Key Soul Steel creating Honkai Beasts.

He had seen through the jackal's trap and was preparing to use it to lure out the World Serpent's high-ranking members.

The B-rank Valkyrie Susana who will be coming to provide support soon is actually Otto's Soul Steel Body in disguise.

"If you really want to thwart Schicksal's plan, then send more combat personnel over. Don't expect me to hold back; my body is still under Otto's control."

Chen Jie's goal was not to join World Serpent through the Jackal connection.

The way she's going now is just changing her cage, turning her from a test subject of destiny into a test subject of the World Serpent...

Stir up the water.

On the World Serpent's side, they praise Otto's flawless strategy; on Otto's side, they praise World Serpent's unparalleled combat power. It would be best if both sides were beaten senseless.

It's best to take your own destiny into your own hands. She probably won't be able to get the Herrscher Core from the Destiny Headquarters, so she should take this opportunity to seize the Herrscher Core of the previous generation, the Second Divine Key, Thousand Worlds One Ride!

……

On the Destiny plane bound for London.

Susana Otto was furious, as this identity was the one he had carefully selected from dozens of silly and naturally naive Valkyries, choosing the most idiotic one.

He transferred her to headquarters for ten days, used the latest model of Soul Steel Body to take on her appearance, and secretly observed and imitated her behavior patterns, easily deceiving everyone around him.

From Leona to Susanna, Otto also prepared several other Valkyrie identities for himself...

It has to be said that cross-dressing is a terrifyingly addictive thing.

He had just gotten off the plane.

A trail of smoke streaked across the clear sky, and piercing alarms blared throughout the airport.

Air raid! Missiles!

Who would intercept him now, World Serpent? No, they'd at least wait until he and Rita walked into the trap before making their appearance, wouldn't they?

Filled with confusion and doubt, Miss Otto and her plane were engulfed in flames by the explosion.

……

At the same time, at Umbrella headquarters.

Destiny and World Serpent were ready to fight, and Umbrella naturally got wind of it.

Just as S.H.I.E.L.D. is full of Hydra agents, the WorldSnake organization today also has a large number of Umbrella agents infiltrating its ranks.

Since the global covert operation began.

Members of Umbrella Corporation would create alternate accounts whenever they had free time and venture into the dark side of the Honkai world. From being deceived and sold out at the beginning, they gradually made a name for themselves, and eventually a few of them joined World Serpent by chance.

Once you get started, the rest is easy.

The previous generation of supercomputers were turned on to analyze the criteria by which the world's snakes selected people, and whether those coincidences could be artificially replicated.

The persona was crafted to fit the criteria for selection by the world's snakes. Leveraging the shrewdness honed over the years, he gradually gained fame in the underworld and entered the gray snakes' selection list...

Furthermore, they are like players who remotely control their bodies, unafraid of death, and just as daring and aggressive as Chen Jie in the simulation. They share information and intelligence with each other, making it easy for them to gain a certain status in the world of snakes.

If I die, I can just create a new account.

Over time, the bottom tier of the World Serpent organization became almost entirely controlled by its protectors, with a few outstanding individuals even rising to higher positions. The channels for selecting new recruits were also taken over by these protectors.

From now on, if all newcomers to World Serpent are executed, it might be unfair, but if every other newcomer is executed, there will definitely be some who slip through the net.

World, Umbrella, Snake!

The selfless efforts of countless protectors have enabled the entire world snake to grow bigger and stronger, creating new glories.
