My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

Finally, before leaving, Bai Chen and his group told Kiana to take good care of their younger sisters who were studying at home when they had time, and then headed towards the Destiny Laboratory.

As one of the largest cities in China, Tianqiong City naturally houses the top-tier Tianming Laboratory. As a normal laboratory, it contains no unauthorized personnel and utilizes state-of-the-art equipment.

The two worlds are different, so the experimental equipment used is naturally different as well. Some of the special equipment made Bai Chen quite interested, and he couldn't resist trying it out a few times before the experiment even started.

As a genius scientist, nothing is more exciting than a well-equipped, technologically advanced room filled with many unfamiliar gadgets he has never seen before.

He immediately became engrossed in it, unable to extricate himself from the experiments.

Time flew by in Bai Chen's happiness. There was a little incident in between: Bronya found the place where Seele disappeared and, together with Theresa and Cecilia, went to the entrance of the Destiny Laboratory.

Otto and Kallen received them, and after some discussion, it was confirmed that the experiment would not have any effect on Seele's body, and might even help her escape the cage of the Sea of ​​Quanta in the future. The members of the Far East Branch tacitly approved Bai Chen's research, but still watched from the sidelines with some unease.

Of course, the experiment couldn't yield results so quickly. Bai Chen's purpose this time was simply to record some basic data. Once he had this data, he would first use the data charts and calculation methods already available in the Destiny Database to input the data, run the calculations on the computer, and see what kind of results would be produced.

If you can get what you want right away, that would be best. Even if you can't get it, you can use it as a process of elimination, and the data obtained can be used as a reference for comparison in the next experiment.

As Bai Chen looked up from the pile of data, organized the valuable information he had obtained, kept the physical paper copies, and made two backups on the hard drive and floppy disk, the sun had already set, and the last bit of red afterglow shone on him through the window.

"Thank you for your hard work today. If you don't have anything to do tonight, you can go out and have some fun, or go back and get some rest. We still have to finish the rest tomorrow."

Fischl and Seele were already exhausted, and as soon as they heard that they could be freed, they ran out without looking back.

Otto, while reviewing the data Bai Chen had compiled, reminded him, "It's time. Kiana has already set off for the outskirts to meet Raiden Mei. She's been your student for so long, aren't you going to go see her?"

"Then I'll leave the rest of the finishing touches to you."

“Great, I’m also particularly interested in that other world called Teyvat.” Otto sat in Bai Chen’s seat and took over the rest of his work.

------

In the remote suburbs, by the river, in front of a pile of weeds and miscellaneous items, Kiana took off her helmet and hung it on the handlebars of her motorcycle.

Instead of using spatial teleportation, she rented a high-powered motorcycle from the car dealership downstairs, rode it with the wind in her face, and sped to the agreed-upon location.

She hadn't felt this kind of anticipation in a long time. Although Bai Chen wasn't exactly a good teacher—his teaching methods were stiff, clumsy, and even a bit forceful—he had undeniably improved Kiana's control over her abilities. Without Bai Chen's guidance, she wouldn't have been able to defeat her mother, Cecilia, this morning.

She never thought she could beat her mother, but being able to demonstrate her abilities in front of Cecilia and hear her mother's praise did indeed excite Kiana.

Now, that excitement has been transferred to Mei. Back in the academy, she had never beaten Mei in a fight, whether it was academic performance or practical simulations. Even though she didn't care, she wouldn't give up any opportunity to defeat Mei.

The sun's radiance was dim, but a dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the horizon.

"They're finally here," Kiana couldn't help but whisper.

Purple lightning streaked across the sky, displaying its power without any concealment. Lightning bolts were drawn down from the clouds, landing on Raiden Mei as if they were being charged.

The lightning bolt fell from the sky, creating a repulsive magnetic field on the ground as it hit the ground, landing so gently that it didn't stir up a speck of dust.

It brings only the fresh air characteristic of ozone produced by ionization.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Kiana."

Mei was wearing the school uniform she wore when she first arrived in Changkong City: a sailor uniform, a short skirt, and white knee-high socks, as if she had returned to the time when she first became the Herrscher of Thunder.

The only difference was that she had two pairs of small horns on her head, crackling with lightning. And at her waist hung a long sword, also crackling with electricity, but it didn't seem to be the same one that had appeared last night; even though it was still in its sheath, it exuded a faint, peculiar aura.

"Mei, are you still unwilling to change your mind?" Kiana couldn't help but ask again.

"What's the point of asking these questions now that things have come to this? Kiana, I've thought about it carefully, and I've also asked Sakura in detail about the reasons for the destruction of the last era."

Mei placed one hand on the hilt of the sword, her eyes seemingly flashing with a sharp, cold light.

The gentle and lovely Mei from St. Freya Academy seems to have disappeared. What remains is a Herrscher of Thunder who has recognized her future path and decided to pay any price for it.

"That would be a catastrophe capable of destroying the entire human civilization—terrifying, horrible, utterly unreasonable, yet inescapable. Everything we once cherished would be fragile and insignificant in the face of the will to collapse... And I absolutely do not want to see such a future."

“I will protect you, protect Bronya, protect the headmistress, protect all the students at St. Freya Academy, and protect this world that we live in and cherish.”

"However, in my own way."

"First of all, Kiana, I will not stand by and watch you become a Herrscher and be consumed by that terrible will, losing yourself!"

The massive Honkai energy surged in all directions, unleashing hurricanes and lightning. Two armored arms formed from Herrscher powers appeared behind Mei, each wielding a lightning-powered sword over ten meters long.

She had learned everything she wanted to know, and after much deliberation, she made the decision she wanted to make.

Raiden Mei has always been a stubborn and inflexible girl. Once she makes up her mind to do something, not even 18 cows can pull her back.

除非用爱的铁拳给予一顿暴揍，友情破颜拳，人格修正拳，把自己想要说的话和想要贯彻的理念全部都留在芽衣的身上。

Want to be friends with me? Let's fight first!

A dazzling golden light shone in Kiana's eyes, and a small box appeared in her hand, the power of space rippling like water.

This is the imaginary space that Bai Chen left for her, and it is also the battle arena that Bai Chen had long ago prepared for her. This is also the last bit of help that Bai Chen is providing for her. He will never participate in this battle.

Because Mei was her best friend, Kiana became unusually annoyed when she realized that Mei wouldn't listen to her.

"If this is what you want, Mei, then let's settle things with strength. Herrschers, the loser must listen to the winner, and if you go back on your word, you'll have a turtle drawn on your face!"

"Come on, Kiana, I won't lose!"

Chapter Seventy: The Seven Thunder Blades of Purification

As the box in Kiana's hand unfolded, the imaginary space once again replaced the riverside environment.

Bai Chen did not set a fixed scene in the box, but Kiana chose the battle scene that she was most familiar with: the playground of St. Freya Academy.

As soon as Mei entered the imaginary space, a huge lightning spear appeared above her head and shot towards Kiana in front of her like lightning.

After her battle with Kiana that morning, Cecilia took the information she had gathered from Kiana back with her and shared it with Mei. This wasn't Cecilia intentionally making things more difficult for Kiana; it was a request made to her by Bai Chen.

Therefore, Mei knew that she couldn't just keep chasing Kiana. Although she couldn't launch a particularly large-scale attack due to her insufficient Honkai energy reserves, it would be difficult to escape if she fell into Kiana's trap.

Mei's preparations were simple: she didn't intend to fight Kiana head-on, but instead to wear down Kiana's stamina. After all, her endurance was something Kiana could never match. As long as she could prolong the fight, she would naturally win.

Mei was surrounded by lightning, and the magnetic field allowed her to float in mid-air, flying like a maglev train. This made her extremely fast, even faster than the fastest human aircraft in the atmosphere.

She surrounded Kiana, the power of the Herrscher of Thunder spreading throughout the space, unleashing lightning with unbridled abandon. The lightning was like a surging tide, with hundreds or even thousands of bolts of lightning rushing towards Kiana in a short instant.

If it were Bai Chen, he could completely enter the spatial rift, making such a dense barrage of attacks meaningless. However, Kiana cannot do something similar; she can only perform short-term dimensional walks. After entering the spatial rift, she must return to the real world before she can travel again.

"Kiana, no matter how exquisite your techniques are, they are ultimately just to make up for your lack of Honkai energy. I don't even need to fight you. This electric field alone is enough to defeat you."

Mei's figure disappeared into the endless sea of ​​lightning. The power of the Herrscher of Thunder altered the electric field in the sky and on the ground. The powerful voltage ionized and broke down the entire air. Just like in a high-voltage electric field, you can be electrocuted by a strong current even if you don't touch the wire. Under sufficiently strong voltage, air is not an insulator.

This is just the most basic use of the Herrscher of Thunder's power. Although it is basic, it is surprisingly practical in the present. Bai Chen stood outside the imaginary space, looking at the battle scene inside, and had to admire Mei's combat wisdom.

Kiana dared not directly touch such a powerful current, and could only rely on her spatial abilities to constantly dodge and blink, searching for places where the current was less intense, while dodging one lightning bolt after another.

“If she comes charging in with a knife like last time, the methods I taught Kiana might work. But if she keeps shooting electricity from a distance like she is now, Kiana will eventually be worn down by herself,” Bai Chen sighed.

He didn't want to see such a brutal solution, but on the other hand, why did Mei avoid her strengths and insist on fighting Kiana?

When Kiana is outmatched, she resorts to physical violence; when Kiana is too tough to bully, she uses countless lightning bolts to wear her down. The cook isn't stupid after all...

Kiana, inside the imaginary space, quickly realized the situation was dire, so she began to alter the environment within it. The original St. Freya Academy playground disappeared, replaced by a wide expanse of ground and countless metal lightning rods stuck in the ground.

She wanted to use these lightning rods to absorb the electrical charge on the ground, as well as the lightning falling from the sky.

However, this idea should have been correct, but Raiden Mei was still lurking all around. These lightning rods, as soon as they appeared, were interfered with and magnetized by the huge magnetic field, turning into huge magnets.

The magnetic force twisted the lightning rods that were originally firmly planted in the ground, turning them into deadly metal spears. Accelerated by the electric and magnetic fields, they transformed into massive electromagnetic projectiles.

They turned bright red due to the high temperature generated by the magnetic field and shot towards Kiana in the air.

"Mei, I never realized you were such a difficult person."

Kiana used the spatial portal that opened in front of her to teleport the electromagnetic projectiles behind her, causing them to collide and become pieces of molten scrap metal. She then took out a Honkai energy crystal that she had condensed long ago and pressed it down hard.

"Ding!"

As the Honkai energy crystals dissipated, ripples in space reverberated in all directions, and everything affected by these ripples was frozen in space as if a pause button had been pressed.

In the real world, freezing space would be difficult, but this is an imaginary space, which gives the Herrscher of the Void extra control.

Kiana's condition wasn't good either. This move could indeed freeze the imaginary space for a short time, but because it required too much Honkai energy and used too much power, she had to pry out some power from the core again, which quickly led to Sirin's backlash.

"Hurry up, we can't drag this out," Fu Hua shouted into Kiana's mind.

Space was frozen, and Kiana naturally found Mei's location. She instantly appeared in front of Mei, the Void Spear appearing in her hand, and stabbed it fiercely into Mei's abdomen.

The two weren't really going to fight to the death. Once Mei took that heavy blow, she would naturally have to leave the arena, and the fight would basically be over.

However, to Kiana's surprise, the spatial stagnation around Mei was shorter than that of everyone else. As soon as Kiana appeared in front of Mei, the girl resumed her activity.

It is a high-energy magnetic field surrounding Mei. An excessively high magnetic field will interfere with space. As a field force and one of the four fundamental forces, it is the limit that magnetic force can reach, and of course, it is not separate from space.

However, after breaking free of her restraints, Mei did not move away from Kiana again. Instead, she smiled slightly, gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist, and suddenly charged towards Kiana.

The power of Honkai energy is unimaginable; even a single Herrscher cannot achieve it. Only the combined power of two or more Herrschers can unleash such a surging sense of oppression.

"Bloom, Seven Thunders of Purification," she whispered.

Chapter 71 God/Civil War/God/Mei

If we were to use a metaphor to describe what is happening now, it would be like a giant hammer smashing a wooden shield.

The Seven Thunders of Purification are among the most violent and purest offensive weapons among the ultimate weapons left behind by the civilization of the last century, the Divine Keys.

It was crafted using the core of the Herrscher of Thunder and takes on different forms depending on who wields it.

For example, in Raven's hands, it is a sniper rifle, while its previous user, Sakura, made it exist in the world as a katana.

Although Sakura doesn't carry the Seven Thunders of Purification with her, according to the rules of the False Book, the Sakura summoned is always in her strongest state, and the Seven Thunders of Purification automatically appear in her hand.

Before going out tonight, she lent her weapon to Mei.

"This weapon was created to kill a Herrscher. Regardless of your relationship with her, if you want to fight a Herrscher and defeat her, then go ahead and kill her."

When Sakura placed the knife in Mei's hand, she looked so strong and healthy.

An absolute, violent force surged towards Kiana from the Seven Thunders of Purification. Mei didn't even use the blade; instead, she gripped the Seven Thunders of Purification in reverse and slashed at Kiana's legs with the back of the blade.

Theoretically speaking, every Divine Key has the potential to kill a Herrscher, let alone the fact that the one currently wielding the Divine Key is a Herrscher.

Kiana didn't have time for the necessary spatial teleportation; she instantly detached herself from the imaginary space, and even from the external real world, heading towards the outer layer of space. However, the spatial transformation that should have been invincible failed this time. The Seven Thunders of Purification cleaved the boundary between the imaginary space and the real world with absolute violence. The absolute power left a spatial tremor in the air, and even the imaginary space constructed by Bai Chen was shattered under this strike.

Hurricanes, lightning, the river next to the factory was instantly evaporated by high-temperature ionization, and the weeds on the ground and nearby debris were turned into piles of incomprehensible black glue by lightning.

After severing space, the force striking Kiana was not as strong as it was initially, but it was still beyond Kiana's current capacity to withstand—after all, she was not yet a fully-fledged Herrscher.

Bai Chen even heard the sound of bones breaking in the air; that last strike had undoubtedly broken Kiana's legs.
