My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

In front of the lightning wall, a magnetic field was laid out, forcing the magnetic fields within all the Hilichurls to change, causing gravity to twist, and a large area in front became a blank zero-gravity zone. The zero-gravity field that China on Earth spent tens of billions and more than a decade to finally create in a sealed room for training astronauts appeared so simply on the continent of Teyvat.

Unable to place their feet on the ground, they naturally had no way to move forward. The Hilichurls' dull brains couldn't comprehend flight and hovering; they could only instinctively scream in terror, while simultaneously brandishing their weapons in increasing rage, trying to charge at the three girls in front of them.

Mei flipped her hand downwards, and a powerful electric current instantly spread outwards. This current was just enough to knock out a strong adult, but when it flowed through the thin, withered Hilichurl, it caused almost no harm.

"His physical abilities are surprisingly strong, almost equivalent to a B-rank Valkyrie." Mei was somewhat surprised, after all, Hilichurls usually look thin and bony, but she didn't expect them to have such high resistance to electric shocks.

Bronya reached into the air, and a Titan robot was created, with an additional huge steel cage in its hand: "Mei, stun them with electricity, I'll capture a few to take back to Bai Chen and the others for research."

"Wait a minute, something's coming. The space ahead is trembling; it's a sign of spatial teleportation." Kiana's clothes, resembling Sirin's, appeared, with six eye-like hems fluttering, and her eyes shining with star-like pupils representing the Herrscher of the Void.

It seems that because of seeing Cecilia, or perhaps because Bai Chen's strong suppression made Sirin dare not casually possess Kiana's body anymore, Sirin's rate of erosion on Kiana has obviously slowed down in the past few days, giving off a feeling of "I'll just watch quietly, anyway, you'll fall into the abyss sooner or later."

Behind the floating hillocks, a thin, dark line appeared in the air. Then, the line quickly expanded to both sides and formed a complete and stable spatial gate in just a few breaths.

Kiana didn't block the spatial teleportation. Instead, she used all her power as the Herrscher of Reason to observe the principle behind the appearance of the spatial gate. She couldn't help but frown because the way this spatial gate appeared was completely different from the Herrscher of Reason's powers. It was far more brutal, as if it used some conflict between rules to forcibly pull a part of the other world into the stable space of reality, creating a spatial gap due to the collision of the two.

Although it was brutal, it was unsolvable, because it was forcibly colliding two worlds. The power of those worlds was something that Kiana alone could not contend with.

"Could there be a quantum sea in this world? And there's someone who can control the quantum sea, forcibly causing it to collide with the real world?" Kiana is no longer the ignorant paramecium she used to be. After Bai Chen's strict instruction, she immediately discovered a clue from the nature of the spatial rift.

Kiana's golden star-like pupils grew brighter as she activated the power application method of the Taixu Divine Sword taught by Fu Hua. She attempted to peer into the world beyond the spatial rift through the ripples in space.

It was a dark and deep place, as if death was silent, but in this boundless darkness, countless creatures stood respectfully in rows behind one person.

He was a young man with short blond hair, holding a long sword. He looked very young, but he seemed to exude a heavy, oppressive aura as if the world itself was pressing down on him.

"Outsiders, celestial beings, welcome to Teyvat, welcome to this prison and abyss." The boy noticed Kiana's gaze, raised his head slightly, and smiled at her.

Chapter Seven: The Abyss: Thanks to Kiana for the nuclear bomb!

Kiana knew she had seen someone important.

One afternoon, after Kiana finished her homework, she asked Bai Chen a question about why he didn't kill her or take the Herrscher core from her body.

Kiana felt that she wouldn't be able to reach Bai Chen's level of ability development in less than a few years, and even now, Bai Chen had never stopped learning and becoming stronger. She didn't know what use she was to Bai Chen; she wasn't smart, and she was facing Sirin's corruption. In terms of efficiency, killing her was far less effective than Bai Chen directly.

Then Bai Chen said something to her that seemed to make some sense, but was very difficult to understand. It was something about being the chosen one of the world, favored by destiny, a special person destined to influence the future of the world.

Kiana didn't actually understand Bai Chen's meaning, but she remembered the title of "Child of the World" in her heart. When she saw the boy standing behind the spatial rift, with countless dark creatures standing solemnly behind him, she felt for the first time so clearly that if there was such a thing as "Child of the World" in Teyvat, it would undoubtedly be this boy.

Out of respect, Kiana placed her hands on Mei and Bronya's shoulders.

"Lend me your strongest attacks."

As fellow Herrschers who graduated from St. Freya Academy, both had absolute trust in Kiana. Raiden Mei's Honkai energy erupted like a flood, all concentrated in her hand. The air was swirled by the surging lightning, forming a massive spiral. All helium and hydrogen molecules were forcibly decomposed into cations and electrons, and under the intense pressure of a terrifying magnetic field, they were reconstructed into a half-meter-long, highly magnetically compressed, unstable, high-temperature plasma based on the tokamak-type nuclear fusion beta model.

Aside from its instability, it has no major flaws. It can be said that, apart from Raiden Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, no one in the world would dare to hold this plasma ball in their hands.

Bronya's actions were even simpler. A three-phase bomb, as tall as herself, quickly materialized in front of her. After a moment's thought, she thoughtfully removed the outer depleted uranium casing and slightly altered the internal structure. This transformed the originally highly polluting and radioactive three-phase bomb into a less polluting neutron bomb—after all, it was a strange world, unfamiliar land, and Bronya felt a pang of reluctance to casually drop a nuclear weapon into someone else's world.

Once the two had condensed their respective weapons, Kiana opened a temporary spatial portal. When Bai Chen was teaching them, he had tailored a so-called three-person combined attack technique for them. It involved Mei and Bronya creating the maximum dose of unstable nuclear weapons they could produce, regardless of the consequences, and then Kiana using her spatial abilities to throw these weapons next to the target and detonate them instantly in a very short moment.

—More artillery fire, more bombs. There is nothing in this world that explosions and explosions cannot solve. If there is, then collapse space and matter together.

—When you encounter a powerful enemy that seems unfathomable, don't greet them or talk too much for no reason. You are humanity's hope, the last Herrscher. No matter what the enemy is, it's always a good idea to send a nuclear bomb at them first.

—If I find out you haven't given the enemy a big gift, then I'll give you a big gift in return.

Kiana took to heart what Bai Chen taught her during his so-called ideological education class.

On the other side of the spatial rift, the leader standing before all the dark creatures, Sora, one of the two travelers from another world in this world, was raising his longsword high, intending to mobilize the Abyss Legion behind him to charge towards the enemies in front of him.

He knew many secrets, perhaps even more than the seven gods currently existing in the world. Therefore, when Bai Chen broke through the energy layer outside the world and entered this world, Kong, who was connected to the Abyss, immediately discovered the special nature of Bai Chen and his companions.

So Sora immediately changed his original itinerary, bringing with him the most powerful force in the abyss, intending to block these visitors from another world from their arrival point.

After all, many secrets are buried in the abyss, beneath the continent of Teyvat. These secrets cannot be taken away by Bai Chen and his companions. Tens of thousands of years ago, the outsiders had already become inextricably linked with this world.

"Defeat them! We can't let them ruin the Abyss's plans and drive all the outsiders back to the world they were born into!"

As soon as Kong finished speaking, the powerful intuition brought about by his fusion with the Abyss began to issue frantic warnings.

The space above distorted for a moment, as if in the blink of an eye, before returning to normal.

However, in that space, two bright spots of light flickered in mid-air.

A chilling sense of crisis assaulted Sora, the Child of the Abyss, from all directions. Even though he had encountered the principles of this world before, Sora had never felt such intense danger.

He only had time to sink himself into the darkness beneath his feet and draw upon the power of the abyss to surround himself.

The dazzling sunlight burst forth in the dark abyss, and this endless black world welcomed its first sunrise today. The sunrise was so magnificent and glorious that the scorching light instantly burned away the muscles and blood of every abyssal creature below, while the radiation waves and electromagnetic pulses that followed cleansed the souls of all abyssal creatures.

The spatial rift that originally connected to the outside world was blocked. After a moment of spatial teleportation, Kiana used all her power to stabilize the space. The new spatial barrier pushed the fire and radiation from the explosion back into the abyss to ensure that these neutron particles would not pollute the grasslands outside Mondstadt through space.

"I don't know if it's enough, Bronya, you can make it bigger."

Kiana quickly locked the space, smoothed out the spatial rift, and restored it to its original state. Recalling the vast army she had witnessed and the abyss filled with ominous and terrifying light, she felt her gift might have been too small and couldn't help but complain to Bronya.

After more than two months of instruction from Bai Chen, Kiana's values ​​and views on combat have finally undergone some pleasant and subtle changes.

“Because the neutron bombs I saw back then were only this big, I could only copy them; I can’t manufacture them freely yet,” Bronya muttered. “Alright, let’s not waste time. Let’s hurry up and find the slime; we still need to report this when we get back.”

So the three of them quickly headed toward their original destination. As for the Abyss, which had originally wanted to attack Bai Chen and his group, it probably wouldn't bother them for the time being after receiving the warm gift.

Chapter Eight Wind God: I think I can still be saved.

"So you planted a nuclear bomb at the gates of the abyss?"

After listening to Mei's report, Bai Chen took the cages from Kiana. They had not only captured three types of slimes, but also brought back two Hilichurls, and even distinguished between the Hilichurls' genders, bringing back a pair.

If Kiana and her friends hadn't only encountered one of those large Hilichurls wielding giant axes and shields, and hadn't accidentally pulverized it with Bronya's floating cannons, they could have brought back another large Hilichurl.

“I saw a blond boy in the abyss. He seemed to be connected to the entire abyss, somewhat… somewhat similar to the destiny you once told me about.” Kiana thought for a moment and finally decided to use destiny to describe the abyss boy she saw. “If someone like that is hostile to us, it would be troublesome, so I dealt with it directly.”

"So it was him, haha." Bai Chen couldn't help but slap his forehead. Of course he knew who Kiana was talking about: the older brother of the traveling siblings from different worlds, Brother Long... no, the Abyss Prince, Sora.

He had originally planned that if he had the time, he would search for the gate to the abyss, see the scenery inside, and at the same time, get his hands on this abyss prince and ask him what exactly had happened in the world over the past few hundred years.

Although in the game's storyline, the Abyss Prince Kong always maintains a charming demeanor, remaining silent and aloof, revealing no information, Bai Chen doesn't believe there's anything he can't get out of him if he has enough power.

Before he could even make a move, Kong was sent back by the nuclear explosion of the three Herrscher girls. Although Bai Chen felt that he wouldn't die so easily, he probably wouldn't be able to come out again for a long time.

“Well done, but you don’t need to worry about him for now. If you run into him again, remember to let me know as soon as possible. I need to ask him some questions.”

After acknowledging Kiana and her team's nuclear diplomacy, Bai Chen carried the slime and the Hilichurl back to the temporary laboratory where he was researching the Anemo Archon.

At this point, the research on Fengshen has entered the next stage. The most basic research sampling has been completed, including blood sample collection and bioelectric current analysis. The next step is to move into a deeper level of in-depth research.

"This is the slime unique to the continent of Teyvat?"

Dr. Mei wasn't wearing a white lab coat, but rather a special piece of equipment made of pure white metal, resembling a half-body suit of armor. This was one of the Divine Keys that World Serpent had unearthed, but unlike others, it wasn't made using any Herrscher's core; rather, it was a special mounting device.

The Zeroth Divine Key, the Blank Key. Theoretically speaking, if a Herrscher Core could be installed on this Divine Key, then regardless of the Herrscher Core installed on it, the user could use the corresponding Herrscher power.

However, in reality, due to the inability to effectively address the issues of Herrscher energy erosion and the Herrscher consciousness contained within the core, the Zero Divine Key struggles to realize its full potential as designed.

However, it is still a very powerful protective weapon. It has excellent resistance to fire, lightning, poison, and corrosion, which even the Valkyrie Armor, the strongest defensive weapon in Destiny, cannot match.

Dr. May, wearing the Zero Divine Key, isolated the elemental power carried by the slime and took a round, chubby ice slime out of the cage.

“The elemental creatures of the Teyvat world are indeed special. The key to unlocking the essence of elemental power in this world should lie in these elemental creatures.” Dr. May pressed down on the slime’s body. Since she did not show any intention to attack, the slime simply bounced its round body and did not spit out ice spikes to attack her.

"And regardless of the physical structure of the other six gods, this God of Wind is essentially just a large slime. It's hard to imagine that there could be such a huge difference between the same race. The slime and that God of Wind are simply a miracle of biological evolution."

Behind May, Wendy lay unconscious on the iron bed, a blood pump inserted into his arm, drawing blood of a distinctive color from his body into a bulky machine.

Since discovering Wendy's true identity, May and Otto's experimental methods have become increasingly brutal. Energy beings or elemental beings share a common trait: as long as their core remains intact, they possess incredibly powerful regenerative abilities. For example, Wendy's vital signs are unaffected by blood loss; blood is a consumable resource he can continuously produce. Moreover, with the Herrscher Core now implanted in his body, it grants him far greater vitality and energy reserves than before.

The reason so much of Wendy's blood was needed was because Otto obtained a special material that was currently available from Wendy's divine blood.

Although they haven't been able to fully analyze the various components contained in the divine blood, after using a chromatography instrument to perform blood chromatography, Bai Chen and his team actually managed to separate a transparent, viscous liquid from the divine blood.

"Otto, have the specific properties of the Wind God Potion been determined?"

The blond scientist removed the microscope from his eyes and handed Bai Chen three test tubes containing the Wind God potion.

"It's confirmed. This was originally just a special gel-like substance in his body, but it mutated after he became the Wind God, gaining special divine power. As long as these potions are applied to the body, one can have wind element affinity for a period of time and use the power of wind element, which is equivalent to having the Eye of God."

The three test tubes contained a clear, viscous liquid that looked like gasoline and adhered to the tube walls when shaken. However, this was a special material extracted from the blood of Venti, the god of wind. By applying it to the body, one could freely manipulate the wind element for a certain period of time.

Bai Chen and the others didn't understand the alchemy of this world, otherwise they would have found a better way to make similar products instead of directly extracting Wendy's blood to make the Wind God Potion, which could be made into a replica through alchemy.

Bai Chen stored the two test tubes in his spatial storage and applied a dose of Wind God Potion to his arm. The viscous liquid seeped into his skin upon contact, and as the potion penetrated his skin, Bai Chen felt as if his blood had become a completely new organ. He could sense the constantly moving and colliding wind elements in the outside world by relying on the flow of his blood.

He stretched out two fingers towards the ground, attempting to control the wispy elemental energy that was constantly drifting. A gentle breeze shot out from between his fingers; although it possessed no power, it was undeniably a breeze formed by the wind element.

"This dose of the potion should last about a day. During that time, I can disguise myself as a local with the Wind God's Eye." Bai Chen was very satisfied with the potion's effects. He didn't need the Wind God's Potion to increase his combat power; he only needed it to allow him to control the elements of this world and conceal his identity as a visitor from another world.

While the weapons created by the Herrscher of Reason are undoubtedly powerful in this world, considering the world's aversion to technological products and the tragic state of the Keria civilization in the past, Bai Chen decided to temporarily disguise himself and communicate with the local residents of Teyvat as the owner of the Eye of God.

"You continue your research on the Anemo Archon. Now that you have slimes and Hilichurls as a comparison, see if you can figure out the reason and basis for the existence of gods in this world."

"You're going to Liyue City, which the knight commander mentioned?" Otto immediately understood Bai Chen's meaning.

“I’ll go scout ahead first. It’s said that Morax, the Geo Archon who guards Liyue, is a powerful war god. If we rush over there and Kevin runs into him, our plan to explore the world of Teyvat may fall through, and we’ll have to choose another path: conquest by force.”

Bai Chen shrugged. Although he believed Kevin wasn't the kind of person who acted rashly, Kevin's aura was too difficult to conceal, and he didn't look like a harmless traveler at all.

In the eyes of the gods of this world, this is simply an evil being from beyond the world, possessing immense power and having destroyed countless lives. Furthermore, since they are searching for a technological creation once punished by the world, under this premise, any explanation or rhetoric will be weak and ineffective, inevitably escalating into a battle to protect the world.

After all, their group included three Herrschers who could destroy the world, the strongest human warrior who had lived for over 50,000 years, the Saintess of Destiny, a rational scientist with no taboos, an Archbishop who schemed against the Honkai Will, and a transmigrator who enjoyed playing with the world.

The God of Wind lay on their experimental table, having his blood drawn for research. They had just dropped a nuclear bomb on the continent, though it was sent to the gates of the abyss. It was hard to say whether the Seven Gods had detected the shockwaves from the nuclear explosion.

He practically screams "I'm not a good person" from head to toe. If this were a fantasy novel from China, he'd at least be an extraterrestrial demon, a fearsome being in the void.

Unfortunately, what Bai Chen didn't know was that the situation on the Wind God's side had already silently spread throughout the entire Teyvat continent.

Wangshu Inn is a large inn built in front of Dihua Marsh, on the only way from Mondstadt to Liyue.

Surrounded by water, with flowers and fish, the scenery is beautiful. It also boasts some of the best accommodations in Liyue and some of the best restaurants in the city.

Here, even though you haven't entered the territory of Liyue City, you can already experience the local customs and culture. In particular, Liyue's various specialty foods are an indispensable part of the enjoyment for traveling merchants.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Wangshu Inn, a short figure wearing a ferocious mask and carrying a long spear on his back was gazing into the distance towards Mondstadt.

"The wind, something's wrong." He reached out and touched a wisp of wind blowing in front of him, reading the signal that the wind god wanted to convey from it.

This short figure was dressed in the distinctive attire of an ancient Liyue warrior, with a blue tattoo on his exposed shoulder and a green gem hanging at his waist—the Eye of the Wind.

If a scholar or storyteller well-versed in Liyue's history were to see him, they would be greatly surprised, because his appearance appears in many Liyue books, which record the history of a thousand years ago, including the history of the war between the demon gods.
