People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

This time, however, the sound was terrifyingly loud, as if two powerful figures were locked in combat, even obliterating the Great Dao itself.

The entire research institute trembled incessantly due to the powerful Honkai energy, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Perhaps out of fear that the research lab would collapse, or perhaps out of fear of dying in the iron cage, you desperately pounded on the cell door, wanting to leave and see Lilith.

[When the violent tremors in the research institute ceased, signifying the end of a life-or-death struggle within the iron cage, you were about to ram the solitary confinement cell door again when the previously unmoving iron door suddenly opened.]

[Seeing the iron gate suddenly open by itself, you looked up in surprise, only to see Elena, dressed in white, standing outside. Her eyes were somber and solemn, red-rimmed as if she had just been crying, and she looked very sorrowful. Beside her, a silver-haired girl lay on a cart, her body covered in scarlet blood, her skin as pale as snow, and she looked like she was on the verge of death.]

[You see Lilith covered in blood, rush to her side, and beg Elena to save her.]

[But when faced with your request, Elena shook her head, her face ashen: Lilith's body is beyond saving; she's only held on until now so she could see you one last time.]

Upon hearing this, you grasped Lilith's slender hand and wept bitterly. Even if you couldn't believe it, Lilith, the strongest of the 666 test subjects, had already fallen, and you had to face the separation from your family.

How you wish it were you lying on the trolley right now, fighting in the cage, instead of Lilith.

Your defenses crumbled completely. Forgetting all pretense of strength, you wept uncontrollably, your voice trembling with grief, repeatedly pleading, "Sister, don't go! Don't leave me alone!"

After separating from you, Lilith was constantly worried about your safety, fearing that you would die in a life-or-death duel without awakening your Honkai Beast genes and possessing no abilities. So she pleaded with Elena, who was in charge of managing both of you.

Ultimately, Elena couldn't resist Lilith's pleas and took pity on her, telling her that the Vishnu genes within her had long since awakened, but had never been used.

[The ability of the Vishnu gene within you is that you can steal the power of others by absorbing their blood. If you take all of their blood, along with their life, you can completely gain their power.]

[Upon learning the true power of the Vishnu gene within you, Lilith had already made her decision. If Jojo could continue to live, she would gladly give her own life in exchange.]

Seeing you crying in her arms like a helpless child, Lilith used her last bit of strength to gently stroke the top of your head: "Jojo... do you remember our promise? Let's stay together forever and never be apart again..."

[You felt the cold touch of Lilith's hand on your cheek, and looked up in surprise, your face filled with sadness and reluctance.]

Your sister Lilith is on the verge of death, beyond saving. If you want to survive, you must drink her blood and become stronger. What will you choose next...?

[Option 1: Refuse to inhale the blood and watch Lilith bleed to death.]

Option 2: In order to survive, inhale Lilith's blood.

Chapter 225 Qiaoqiao's Inner Hatred

Because Jojo, the simulated life subject, lacks any special abilities, she is the weakest among the 666 test subjects.

If he were to enter the iron cage and engage in a life-or-death duel with his current combat abilities, he would surely die.

With Lilith on the verge of death, Jojo could easily absorb her blood and gain her power and abilities.

In this way, Jojo, who originally had no chance of winning in the life-or-death duel, can reverse the situation and has a high probability of becoming the victor and surviving.

But... this also means that Jojo has to kill Lilith with his own hands.

The Honkai Consciousness: "Qiao Qiao, what are you still hesitating about? This woman is about to die anyway. Isn't it a worthwhile deal to exchange the life of a dying person for your own survival?"

Just as Jojo hesitated, Lilith, covered in blood and weak, said in a weak voice with tears in her eyes, "Jojo, come, drain the blood from my body. This is the last thing I can do for you."

The Honkai Consciousness: "Look, Jojo, even your sister has agreed to sacrifice herself to save your life. If you continue to hesitate, you'll be wasting her kindness. When your sister dies, you'll soon follow in her footsteps."

"All you need to do is discard unnecessary moral constraints, harden your heart, and drain her blood, and you can survive and gain immense power... This is something countless people dream of!"

enough!

I cannot cut off Lilith's last chance of survival when she is on the verge of death.

You must understand, this is Destiny's domain. If I threaten those research institutes to treat Lilith, they will definitely be able to save her from the brink of death.

Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, the Honkai consciousness seemed somewhat surprised: "Qiao Qiao, are you really going to do this? Didn't you suffer losses in the previous world? Even if you have good intentions and want to do things for others, things will eventually not go as planned, and things may even get worse. If you refuse to inhale this girl's blood, both of you will die."

This is a simulation of my life; I will choose my own path forward.

In this life simulator, I should be the one to make all the choices.

You are nothing more than a consciousness residing within my body.

Are you the master, or my master?

How dare a mere broken consciousness teach me what to do?

Are you worthy?

I choose the first option: refuse to drink Lilith's blood!

Hearing Jojo's final decision, Lilith, as Jojo's servant, could only obediently comply, saying softly, "It seems my master hasn't completely shed her boring morals and become a true villain yet, but it doesn't matter... no matter how strong your heart is, sooner or later you will..."

You raised your hand and tightly grasped Lilith's cold, frail hand on your face, tears welling in your eyes.

[Lilith was the first person you met when you came into this world, and your only family. You couldn't possibly drink her blood and let her die completely when she was on the verge of death.] With a sorrowful expression, you said, "I'm sorry, sister, I can't do it!"

Hearing your refusal to drink my blood, Lilith's eyes flashed with disappointment. She lovingly stroked your delicate, pretty face and said, "Jojo, you're still so kind. I knew you wouldn't want to drink my blood, so I arranged everything. I hope you won't blame me later."

[Lilith says to you with eyes full of love: I just want you to live.]

[At Lilith's prompting, the researcher Elena, dressed in white, pulled out a pistol hidden inside her clothing, pointed it at you, and said with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, I was only acting on your sister's behalf. I'm a researcher at Schicksal, but I'm just too soft-hearted; I couldn't bring myself to refuse your sister's dying request."]

[The words had barely left her lips when Elena pulled the trigger without hesitation.]

In the blink of an eye, several silver bullets pierced your chest, leaving several bloody holes from which blood gushed out like a fountain.

Damn...

You say you're too soft-hearted, but you're far too ruthless!

[Irena shot several holes in your body, causing your blood to drain away at an alarming rate, and your body to weaken continuously.]

Because of the blood loss, Vishnu within you urgently craves other blood; a feeling of thirst instantly fills your entire body.

The next second, weakened and thirsty, you clutched your head, which throbbed with excruciating pain as if it were about to explode. Canine fangs sprouted from your mouth, your vision went completely black, and you lost all consciousness.

[While you were unconscious, you heard Lilith's satisfied voice in your ear: "That's wonderful... Now we can be together forever and never be apart again."]

Qiao Qiao: ......

Even though Jojo was unwilling, Lilith still met her end.

Just as the Honkai Consciousness said, even though Jojo made a heartfelt and kind choice, things didn't get better; in fact, they got worse.

Could it be, as the Honkai Consciousness says, that my inner kindness is merely an excess of emotion that affects my judgment?

Is resorting to any means necessary and falling into darkness the only right path?

No, no!

This is just a simulated, fake life; it doesn't count at all. In reality, I am still that kind, upright, and excellent young man!

[Due to hunger and weakness, your consciousness disappeared for a long time. When you awoke again, you saw a strange, white ceiling.]

[The moment you awoke from the period of unconsciousness and memory loss, you frantically searched for Lilith.]

As soon as you turned your head, you saw Lilith lying tightly on the bed next to you. Her eyes were closed, and she was covered with a white sheet. There were two small gashes on her neck, like those from a dog bite. Her skin was as pale as snow, without a trace of blood. She had stopped breathing, and all the blood in her body had been drained.

[You instantly understood everything you had done. Tears welled in your eyes and fell to the ground. A choked sob escaped your lips as you knelt, clutching Lilith's cold body, looking utterly grief-stricken.]

Just as you were overwhelmed with grief, applause broke out in the room.

A man dressed in an elegant suit, with long, silky, straight golden hair and a face as exquisitely beautiful as a peerless beauty, clapped as he slowly walked over: "What a touching display of sibling affection; even I couldn't help but shed tears."

You hold Lilith's lifeless body, raise your tear-streaked eyes, and look at the man who walks leisurely towards you.

As an experimental subject of Destiny, although you haven't seen him in person, you have seen his portrait plastered everywhere.

The man before me is none other than Otto Apocalypse, the Archbishop of Destiny.

Bishop Otto looked at the lifeless Lilith in your arms and said calmly, "Lost lamb, do not wallow in sorrow any longer. This is not what your sister would have wanted to see. You should thank your sister; it was her sacrifice that allowed you to awaken your abilities and gain power far beyond that of ordinary people."

Hearing Otto Apocalypse's words, you felt a fury so intense it was almost unbearable.

[Your sister just died, yet this man acts like nothing happened, not only clapping but also demanding you thank Lilith for her sacrifice!]

[It's him! Otto Apocalypse!]

[It was this man before you who, for his own selfish desires, created you and Lilith, forcing you to fight each other to determine the strongest.]

If it weren't for him, none of this tragedy would have happened, and your sister Lilith wouldn't have died.

[You harbor immense hatred for the noble and great man before you, and also for the woman who betrayed you and caused Lilith's ultimate death—Rita Losweiser.]

Even if you harbor resentment, you are no match for the Archbishop of Destiny now. Your teeth clenched tightly, suppressing your raging anger, you bowed your head to the lofty Archbishop Otto and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency."

You gritted your teeth and endured, finally suppressing your anger. You bowed your head to the enemy who killed your sister, secretly vowing in your heart: Otto Apocalypse, Rita Losweiser, the research institute, the Losweiser family, and everyone in Schicksal—one day, I will make you pay for what you've done, and make you pay for my sister's life!

Chapter 226 An older woman in her forties shouldn't pretend to be young.

Otto, that bastard, does nothing right anywhere.

Whether in reality or the simulated world, he can be described as having done all sorts of bad things; he's a troublemaker.

With Lilith dead, Jojo has now completely turned to the dark side, and is only thinking about revenge.

Otto, Rita, the Losweiser family, the research institute, and the people of Schicksal—none of them can escape.

However... following the pattern of villain life simulators, there should be one person among these people who is his main target for evil deeds.

So... am I going to do something bad to Rita this time?

After Lilith's death, you gained immense power and abilities by consuming her blood.

[You abandoned all the innocence and kindness in your heart, single-mindedly seeking revenge for Lilith, and fearlessly participated in the "Iron-Blooded Project."]

[With Lilith's power enhanced, you were able to severely injure your fellow humans in the iron cages each time, then cruelly drain their life force.]

[Borrowing from the "vampire" talent mutated from Vishnu's genes, you grow ever stronger by drinking the blood of your fellow humans, your power surpassing all other test subjects, making you unstoppable.]

At age 4, you personally killed J-555, the experimental subject who defeated Lilith, draining him of his blood and successfully acquiring the power and abilities of numerous experimental subjects, becoming the final victor of the "Iron-Blooded Project."

[At the same time, in a series of frenzied killings, you also lost your conscience and kindness as a "human being," turning into a "monster" born for revenge.]

Outside the rusty, scarlet cage, the blond-haired, blue-eyed man watched you slaughter all your brethren and achieve victory. A joyful smile spread across his face, and he couldn't help but clap and cheer for you: "J-666, you did well. Among all my creations, you are undoubtedly the most powerful."

Looking at the aloof, arrogant blond bishop, your heart is filled with hatred, yet you can only endure it, lowering your head to say: "This is all thanks to Your Excellency's painstaking guidance."

For the first time, Bishop Otto, who had never paid any attention to you before, fixed his gaze on you, scrutinizing your face. Fair-skinned, handsome, and aloof, your exquisite features were as flawless as the genes that had been given to you.

His gaze deepened, as if trying to see right through you, as if searching for the image of a certain young woman within you. But in the end, he saw only himself in you. There was not a trace of the mercy or kindness of a saint, but rather the arrogance and cruelty of a king.

Otto was very pleased with your birth, but he failed to notice the raging fury hidden beneath your calm exterior. He adopted you as his "grandson" and gave you the surname "Apocalypse."

He patted your shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Be proud, Jojo, you are now officially a member of the Apocalypse family."
