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

[The entire leadership of the Firemoth was wiped out. Their leader, Dr. Mei, their proud warrior Kevin, and humanity's brightest star, Eden, were kidnapped. Humanity's hope of defeating the Honkai was utterly shattered.]

[You have used the power of conquest to announce to the world that you will publicly execute the high command of the Firemoth, Dr. Mei, Kevin, Eden, and Padophilia at noon tomorrow, and will destroy all human civilization after their execution.]

Upon hearing this news, humanity worldwide was gripped by panic. Some abandoned all resistance, rushing home to weep with their families and accept their fate, while others chose to take up arms, determined to fight the Herrscher of Thunder to the very end.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Flame Chaser, Fu Hua, dressed in a black combat suit, walked through the soldiers' rest area and opened the door to the Möbius Research Lab.

The green-haired woman in the white lab coat turned around, her smiling eyes gleaming with a strange and malevolent light: "Hua, are you ready?"

"Yes." Hua clenched his fist at his waist. "Please allow me to participate in the fusion warrior experiment."

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Feather of a Thousand Years

The day of execution announced by the Herrscher of Thunder arrived quickly. Kevin, Dr. Mei, Eden, Padophilia, and other high-ranking members of the Firemoth were tied to the execution rack in Canghai City.

Jojo sat on a throne made of black stone, drew her sword from its sheath, and stared coldly at the gleaming blade.

"Mei, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not being by your side, that's why this happened."

Kevin struggled on the gallows, but he could not break free from the shackles formed by the power of lightning.

Mei calmly said, "Kevin, you don't need to blame yourself so much. Things have come to this point, and it's not anyone's fault. We can only trust our fellow Moths, and believe that Mebius and Hua can defeat the Third Herrscher."

Facing the cameras broadcast live globally, Eden's slender, fair arms were firmly strapped to the execution rack, and a gentle, elegant smile, like moonlight, graced her face: "I never imagined that the final stage of my life would come so suddenly, but isn't the unpredictability part of life's beauty?"

Compared to Kevin, Dr. Mei, and Eden's composure in the face of death, Paddo was now breaking down in tears: "I don't want to die!"

She never imagined that simply going to the tycoon's warehouse to pick up some goods, as usual, would result in her running into the Herrscher of Thunder.

Haven't I always been lucky?

How could the Herrscher of Thunder have chosen me out of billions of people in the world to be publicly executed? The odds of this happening to me are ridiculously low.

Is it possible to be lucky to encounter something that happens only once in billions of times?

But I'm just a pathetic, fragile, and powerless businessman. I don't need this kind of luck at all, okay?!

Several small, nearly destroyed robots floated in mid-air, recording the horrific scene of Kevin and the others being bound and left to die.

"God, please save humanity!"

"Eden! My Eden! How can I live without you?!"

"Humanity is doomed, let it be destroyed, quickly!"

"Damn Herrscher of Thunder, is there really no one who can defeat the Honkai?"

Through the live broadcast, everyone was closely following the execution scene in Canghai City. At this moment, their hearts were filled with despair, yet they were also hoping for a miracle.

Jojo looked up at the rising sun, gripped the blade, and rose from the throne, ready to execute the person on the execution rack.

"Alright, it's time for you to get going."

Hearing Qiao Qiao's cold words, Kevin tightly gripped Mei's hand beside him, Eden silently closed his eyes, and Pado was so frightened that tears streamed down her face.

People around the world watching the execution live were tense as Jojo swung his blade, but suddenly a figure appeared in front of the execution ground.

"Wait, look! Some figures have suddenly appeared."

"Are you kidding me? Wasn't Canghai City under lockdown due to thunderstorms? How did she get in?"

"Who is that person? She looks like a girl. Can she defeat the Herrscher of Thunder?"

A figure landed as lightly as a feather in the ruins of Canghai City. Qiao Qiao turned around and saw a familiar figure, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Upon seeing Fu Hua's arrival, Dr. Mei's lips curled up slightly, and Kevin smiled happily, knowing that the Fusion Warrior experiment had been a success.

Upon seeing this unfamiliar girl, Eden smiled and said, "To be so brave even when facing the Herrscher of Thunder, you are truly a dignified and beautiful woman."

Pado burst into laughter through her tears as if she had seen a savior: "This Bodhisattva, this God, please save me! From now on, I'll give you a 30% discount when you buy things from me!"

Viewers around the world watching the execution had their hearts in their throats, their entire attention glued to the screen.

"Will she be able to defeat the person who rescued the Moth of Flame?"

"That's the Herrscher of Thunder, who possesses divine power. How could a human possibly stand against her?"

"Sigh... if this little girl goes up to fight, she'll probably just be throwing her life away."

Fu Hua stood amidst the ruins, a flash of anger crossing her eyes as she looked at Qiao Qiao. Then she turned to Dr. Mei and Kevin: "Kevin, Doctor, you've suffered so much. I will definitely rescue you."

Upon hearing Fu Hua's words, Qiao Qiao, what is your answer...?

Option 1: Use your lightning powers to execute them, and taunt them, "I'll kill them all first, then I'll deal with you slowly!"

[Option 2: Charge forward to fight Fu Hua and say, "I kidnapped them to lure you out. You obediently came to your death, saving me a lot of trouble."]

JoJo kidnapped Kevin and the others to lure Fu Hua out. Now that Fu Hua has appeared, JoJo no longer needs to worry about them. Her body transformed into a beam of light and rushed towards Fu Hua.

"I kidnapped them to lure you out. You obediently came to my door to die, which saved me a lot of trouble!"

[Congratulations, host, you have received 200 crystals.]

[As soon as you finished speaking, Fu Hua unhesitatingly used the Inch Punch - Heaven Opening Strike towards your abdomen, while you drew your lightning-streaked katana to defend yourself.]

After you blocked her Heart-Piercing Fist, Fu Hua absorbed the Honkai energy between heaven and earth, flew into the air, her eyes flashing with a sharp light, and silently recited the mantra you had taught her: "God, God is the ultimate of change, the wondrous essence of all things, which cannot be questioned by form."

The decaying energy between heaven and earth coalesced in her palm into a powerful and domineering sword aura. She was no longer the helpless junior sister who had once thwarted you in the martial arts school. After fusing with the power of the Honkai Beasts, she successfully mastered the Void Sword God technique, making her strength comparable to a Herrscher.

[You, on the other hand, mobilized the lightning power within your body, and a purple lightning bolt pierced through the void, colliding with the dazzling and brilliant Tai Xu sword energy.]

In the next instant, the Sword God of the Void pierced through your chest.

The moment they saw Qiao Qiao's chest pierced, the global audience watching the live stream immediately erupted in cheers.

"Great! We won! We've defeated the strongest enemy in human history!"

"That girl's power is simply too great; she was even able to defeat the Herrscher of Thunder!"

"Young lady, you are a hero of humanity!"

Qiaoqiao stood on the shattered ground, raised her hand to touch the wound on her chest, her fingers stained crimson with blood.

This was the first time he had been injured since becoming a Herrscher, and it was also the first time he had learned that Herrschers do not feel pain when they are injured.

Soon, the voice of the collapsing consciousness came from the depths of Qiao Qiao's heart.

"I never expected this human to be so powerful... I'm afraid I'll have to go into hibernation now, so please don't die."

The voice of the Honkai consciousness gradually faded away and finally disappeared completely.

The Void Sword God can not only inflict physical damage on people, but more importantly, it can directly attack consciousness. Even a Herrscher would be turned into a mindless walking corpse if hit by this move.

The reason why Qiao Qiao was able to retain his sense of self was entirely because the broken consciousness helped him block the attacks from the consciousness level.

However... even He had to go offline for a period of time after being attacked by the consciousness of the Taixu Sword God.

After losing the voice of the Honkai consciousness, Qiao Qiao knew that her time was coming to an end, and she dragged her heavy steps slowly toward Fu Hua.

Seeing Qiao Qiao slowly approaching her, Fu Hua clenched her fist, wanting to continue attacking, but she had already exhausted all her Honkai energy and power by using the Taixu Sword Qi, and now she was unable to resist Qiao Qiao's next attack.

Fu Hua thought that Qiao Qiao would kill her with her last breath, so she closed her eyes.

With the last of her strength, Qiaoqiao reached out to Fu Hua, gently stroking her beautiful face with her blood-stained right hand. She smiled and said, "Hua, I can only accompany you this far. You'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Then, Qiaoqiao fell backward like a puppet with its strings cut.

【you are dead. 】

[This life simulation has ended. You have received the following rewards: Herrscher of Thunder Core Fragment, Millennium Feather.]

After the simulation ended, Qiaoqiao's eyelids twitched slightly as she opened her eyes and saw the ceiling of her room. She lay on the bed in a daze.

After a long while, he finally sat up, glanced at the clock, and realized that despite simulating for so long, it was still not time to make dinner.

Happy times are always short.

Although he ultimately couldn't escape death, being able to touch Fu Hua's beautiful legs made it all worthwhile.

The thought that she would never be able to play with legs like those again made Qiao Qiao feel frustrated.

After experiencing the sadness of parting for a while, Qiaoqiao opened the system's homepage to check her rewards, which included two Precision Supply Boxes, 200 million Crystals pieced together from various sources, and skills and martial arts similar to 'Inch Heart Fist Technique' and 'Intentional Blast Fist'.

What interested Qiao Qiao the most was the two rewards the simulator gave him at the end of the simulation: a fragment of the Herrscher of Thunder's core and a Thousand-Year Feather.

Qiao Qiao opened the two rewards and looked at their appearance. The former was a gem crystal that looked like the core fragment of the Herrscher of the Void, while the latter was a red feather with data descriptions that only Qiao Qiao could see.

[Herrscher of Thunder Core Fragment: A core fragment formed by Honkai energy concentrating within the Herrscher of Thunder. It can generate and control Honkai Beasts and Undead. The holder possesses some of the Herrscher of Thunder's power to manipulate electromagnetic fields. The host can collect more fragments and unlock more abilities in a life simulation.]

[Millennium Feather: One of the many feathers in Yu Duchen's collection. It can launch a mental attack on anyone who sees it. A special effect will be triggered when encountering Fu Hua.]

As expected, the Herrscher of Thunder core fragment grants you a portion of the Herrscher of Thunder's powers, and like the Herrscher of the Void core fragment, its abilities are mostly weakened versions.

Qiao Qiao was very familiar with the Thousand-Year Feather.

Isn't this the feather of Yu Duchen that was plucked bald by the immortal?

He remembered that in the game's storyline, the immortal was unable to forget any memories due to the side effects of fusing with a Honkai Beast, which caused his brain capacity to overload.

She often used these feathers to store her memories, and would often pluck one and give it to someone else.

When the recipient encounters danger or under certain conditions, the feather will also manifest the form of the Crimson Kite Immortal to protect the owner.

I'm not sure if Qiaoqiao herself can use this Feather Dust to hypnotize others. If she can, Qiaoqiao will definitely hypnotize Himeko-neechan so she won't throw her underwear in the living room anymore.

And what on earth is this special effect?

Chapter Twenty-Five brought tears of regret to Hua's eyes.

In the dark and enclosed lounge, Fu Hua lay on the bed, tossing and turning, the words Qiao Qiao had said to him before her death echoing in his mind.

"Hua, this is all I can do for you. You'll have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

JoJo's weak and sincere words at the moment of her death lingered in her heart like a curse. She couldn't understand why the Herrscher's dying monologue, as an enemy of humanity, would make her so deeply attached and unable to forget it.

Did I do something wrong?

No, the Herrschers are enemies of humanity and must be eliminated.

Fu Hua pressed the back of her hand to her forehead, her clear, bright eyes, like the blue sky, staring at the black ceiling. Suddenly, a beam of light from the doorway illuminated the room.

He turned his head and saw Himiko, who had just recovered from her injuries, leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, looking at Fu Hua on the bed with eyes as gentle as cunning moonlight: "Hua, how are you feeling?"

Fu Hua threw off the covers and got up, saying, "Well, I'm in good physical condition, but lately I've been having a lot of overthinking. Maybe it's because of my battle with the Herrscher of Thunder before. I keep thinking about JoJo."
