My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

In those books, he is referred to as the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, the Guardian Yaksha, and his name is Xiao. He is the last remaining Yaksha among the immortals who protect Liyue.

"Why? That Wind God shouldn't have made it so easily..."

He muttered to himself, looking into the distance with some confusion.

After the Gem of Desire was inserted into Wendy's body, everyone assumed he had completely lost consciousness. Neither Bai Chen nor Otto noticed anything amiss. However, they forgot one thing: this was Teyvat, not the Honkai world. No matter how knowledgeable they were, this was a completely unfamiliar place to them.

Although Wendy appeared to be unconscious, he actually retained a sliver of conscious awareness. In other words, Wendy was not entirely unaware of the various experiments that Bai Chen and the others had conducted on him!

The situation was awkward. Bai Chen thought they were conducting a general anesthesia experiment, and that the experiment would be terminated immediately once Wendy showed signs of waking up. They would then install various devices on him to assist in waking him up, pretending that they had done everything they could to save him.

Wendy, however, sensed all of this. Before he was completely unconscious, he was tied to an experimental table by a group of strangers from another world, and his blood was sliced ​​and extracted for research—this was a torture he had never experienced in his thousands of years of life!

He even remembered Bai Chen and the others' conversation, knowing that they not only wanted to target him, but also all the Seven Gods, turning them all into their experimental subjects.

So Venti used all his strength and finally used the enhanced power granted by the Gem of Desire to hide his heartfelt words in the wind, and let the wind carry his voice to proclaim it to the entire continent of Teyvat.

This declaration applies to all holders of the Wind God's Eye on the continent; as long as they feel the gentle breeze of nature, they can hear the cry of the Wind God in the wind.

"The calamity of Teyvat has descended, and seven demons from another world are about to devour all the gods in the world."

The first to receive this news was Liyue Yaksha, Xiao, who stood on the roof of Wangshu Inn, hesitant.

Undoubtedly, this was news from the distant Anemo Archon. But Xiao didn't know whether to trust that free and happy Anemo Archon and report directly to Morax, the Geo Archon of Liyue, or go to Mondstadt first to confirm the accuracy of the news.

It can only be said that Wendy's usual image is too carefree and unreliable, otherwise Xiao wouldn't have hesitated like this.

However, a strong fluctuation soon appeared below Wangshu Inn, interrupting Xiao's thoughts.

Bai Chen made another mistake. He didn't know that Xiao, who was the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, the Dharma Protector Yaksha, and the ancient immortal, could also sense space.

Chapter Nine: No more pretending, no more acting, the truth comes out.

Bai Chen sat on a bamboo chair woven from green bamboo and picked up a menu that the shop assistant had just handed him.

Although Teyvat may seem to have a low level of technology, and has not even entered the steam age, its actual standard of living cannot be measured by the standards of the same period on Earth, due to its elemental powers and various supernatural and fantastical objects.

For example, the printing technology is particularly advanced. At least the books sold in libraries or at bookstores are not expensive. Even if some books are priced higher, it is because the content is out of print, not because of printing materials or manpower.

"Golden shrimp balls, almond tofu, water shield soup..." Bai Chen ordered eight dishes in one go, all of which were representative Liyue specialties. Having finally come to Teyvat, it would be a waste of this journey if he didn't try the local specialties.

Bai Chen was in a very good mood. He came to Wangshu Inn with the intention of having a good meal and pretending to be a traveler traveling from Mondstadt to Liyue. He planned to find a caravan to travel with at Wangshu Inn and take this opportunity to disguise himself as a local. Before heading to Liyue Harbor, he planned to make a career out of being a Mondstadt poet.

Even if he did something special in Liyue that caught the attention of the Liyue Sept (the seven stars who govern Liyue), they could only find out about the caravans that entered Liyue through their own investigation. As for thoroughly investigating his identity from Liyue to Mondstadt, that would take more than a day or two.

Just as Bai Chen took out a small tablet computer, preparing to browse through the papers he had stored on the computer but hadn't had time to verify, a ball of abundant energy appeared behind him.

Bai Chen could not ignore that ball of energy no matter what, because it contained many unclean things, such as wronged spirits and resentment. These contaminants, which carried obvious ominous meanings, were as bright as light bulbs in the perception of the Herrscher of Reason.

He turned around and saw a short, monstrous figure carrying a long spear and a kite on his back, with a ferocious mask on his face.

The newcomer was Xiao, who stood behind Bai Chen with his arms crossed, silently staring at him without saying a word.

"My friend, what's the matter?"

Bai Chen certainly knew Xiao, but he didn't intend to show it. His current identity was that of a bard in Mondstadt. How could a bard know the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?

"..."

Xiao remained silent, still watching Bai Chen. The message Wendy had sent out had already concealed Bai Chen and the others' appearances in the wind. After all, he was the Wind God, the supreme deity who controlled all wind elements on the continent of Teyvat; to the Wind God, the wind truly could speak.

Furthermore, while Bai Chen is, after all, a scientist, and his development of the Herrscher core is indeed very profound, his ability to conceal the energy of the Herrscher core within his own body is only average, even less effective than the Fu Hua Void Insect Gloves he wears. Even with the concealment of the Wind God Potion, it might fool some ordinary Vision holders, but against Xiao, who is a martial arts expert even among the Liyue Sages, its actual effect is practically nonexistent.

"Friend? Would you... like to sit down and have a meal together?"

Bai Chen sighed. He knew that this Liyue immortal lived in Wangshu Inn, but he should be far away from people and aloof. Theoretically, it was impossible for him to just casually appear in the restaurant of Wangshu Inn.

He wasn't very confident in his ability to conceal himself, and his original plan was to avoid contact with the Liyue connoisseurs, as long as he could deceive the Liyue Seven Stars. But who knew that as soon as he stepped onto the border between Liyue and Mondstadt, he was cornered in the inn's restaurant by the Guardian Yaksha.

Xiao did not sit down or move; he simply stood quietly behind Bai Chen, watching him without saying a word.

Until all eight dishes Bai Chen ordered were served, Xiao didn't make the slightest move while playing on his tablet and slowly sipping a cup of warm Shaoxing wine and finishing all the dishes.

"Ugh--"

After eating and drinking his fill, Bai Chen wiped his mouth with the cloth handed to him by the waiter, and then let out another long sigh.

"The food in Liyue is really good. Don't you agree? Demon Slayer, Guardian Yaksha, Xiao."

“You do know me, so you are a demon from another world,” Xiao replied without any surprise.

"Two questions: First, how did you recognize me? Second, why are you standing behind me without moving?"

Bai Chen completely gave up on continuing the act; things had come to this point, and there was no point in pretending any longer. Xiao had clearly come looking for him, his goal was very clear, but Bai Chen didn't know where he had slipped up.

“I won’t tell you the reason, but your evil deeds are already known to everyone on the continent of Teyvat.” Xiao didn’t step forward, but took a step back. “As for why I’m standing behind you, it’s because you are a guest of Wangshu Inn. You ordered food, so you should eat, pay the bill, and leave. I will wait for you. Don’t involve ordinary people who can’t control elemental power in the affairs of gods and immortals.”

"Hmm, that's a very proper statement. No wonder he's the guardian deity of Liyue." Bai Chen scratched his head, took out a large handful of Mora from his spatial storage, and threw it onto the dining table.

"Answer me one more question, and I will leave Wangshu Inn with you, and as you wish, we will not fight here."

"Excuse me."

"Does Morax know about our affairs?"

"...No, I haven't reported this to the Emperor yet." Xiao was silent for a while, but surprisingly, he didn't lie to Bai Chen and told her the truth that was very unfavorable to him.

"So don't easily say things like, 'Your crimes are already known to everyone,' which is easy to set a flag for yourself."

Bai Chen couldn't help but smile. This unexpectedly honest immortal made him feel much better after his embarrassing failure to hide his whereabouts.

Speaking of the three Herrscher sisters in the Honkai world, they're not so fun anymore. Kiana has been pretty much trained, and she no longer shows that kind of painful expression that makes people happy when she's studying. Not only will she do her homework on time, but she's even learned to greet unfamiliar enemies with a nuclear bomb, greatly reducing the pure joy she brings.

Now they have arrived on the continent of Teyvat, a continent inhabited by seven gods, immortals, unique holders of the Eye of God, the Fools of Winter's End, treasure-hunting groups, abyssal monsters, and well-equipped, highly skilled armies from various nations.

Perhaps with proper development, we can find new enjoyment.

The Wind God Potion evaporated rapidly, and the core of the Herrscher of Reason on Bai Chen's body emitted massive Honkai energy.

"Xiao, as a reward for your honesty, do your best to please me!"

The disguise infiltration failed; now it's time to show off your unparalleled infiltration skills!

Chapter Ten: I, the Decadent Mechanical Empire

One day in the future, after a drunken night, the wind god Barbatos beat his chest and wept bitterly. If he hadn't used his power as the wind god to spread news of Bai Chen and his companions throughout the entire continent of Teyvat, thus interrupting their peaceful infiltration and development plan, things might not have turned out the way they did.

But no matter how much Wendy regrets it in the future, it won't have any impact on Bai Chen now.

Dihua Island is a beautiful riverbank where unique long-tailed aquatic plants and lotus flowers grow. Many merchants like to rest here; simply enjoying the river breeze and admiring the swaying lotus flowers is a truly refreshing experience.

However, today, this tranquility and serenity were ruthlessly shattered. Holding a spear and a kite, and wearing a hideous mask, the Yaksha was surrounded by a turbid hurricane, in which countless vengeful spirits seemed to swirl, and even the shadows of fierce ghosts could be vaguely seen.

But there was no one in sight opposite him.

Bai Chen was hiding in a different dimensional space, looking out at the guardian yakshas through the void. If he guessed correctly, the situation they would face next was likely one of universal enmity. All the human cities on the continent of Teyvat would be quite hostile towards them, which would significantly impact their goal of finding the items. However, conversely, if they could demonstrate absolute power and an iron fist, they might achieve their objective faster than through peaceful infiltration.

"We can't use nuclear bombs, we can't use high-powered attacks. If we accidentally blow up this oasis, then it will be a fight to the death." Bai Chen muttered to himself, starting to plan what kind of attack to use to greet the Xiao on the other side.

It needs to be cool and intimidating, and it shouldn't cause irreversible damage to the environment. Ideally, its power should be controllable so that it doesn't drag civilians down with it.

Four spatial wormholes appeared in mid-air, and from the golden spatial wormholes, a swarm of dark machines surged outwards like a tide.

The number of machines made of Soul Steel exceeded one hundred thousand in an instant, densely packed and swirling around the spatial wormhole. They did not attack the Xiao in front of them, but instead circled around in mid-air, their numbers increasing until they finally formed a huge, jet-black metal cylinder that stretched from the ground to the sky, even dispersing the floating clouds in the air.

The Herrscher of Reason power that Bai Chen possesses is different from the second-hand power inherited by Welt. This is a simulated power granted by the system, and it is the top-level Herrscher of Reason power. It not only has a complete set of powers that can be analyzed and created, but also has a nearly inexhaustible reserve of Honkai energy and a considerable instantaneous Honkai energy release power.

The large objects created by Welt and Bronya would disappear after a period of time, and it was difficult for them to exist for more than a day. However, although the number of mechs created by Bai Chen was huge, their overall weight was not excessive, and since his Herrscher core was not weakened in any way, he could maintain the mechs he created for several dozen days.

According to Bai Chen's test of his own ability limit, the maximum number of aircraft he could bear, without putting too much burden on himself and maintaining the fleet for 50 days, was about 100 million.

Although each individual aircraft in the swarm is only the size of a grain of rice, a hundred million flying grains of rice, if spread out in the sky, would be enough to blot out the sun. The sight of them flying would be enough to kill someone with trypophobia on the spot.

Moreover, these machines made of Soul Steel are not just individual units; they can also merge together to form a large-scale attack weapon, which is equivalent to being powered by hundreds of thousands of ultra-miniature energy cores.

Bai Chen did not attack Xiao, but simply released the maximum number of machines he could create. When the number of machines approached ten million, Xiao, who had been gripping his spear tightly and seemed ready to fight Bai Chen to the death, silently took a few steps back.

It wasn't that he was cowardly, nor that he didn't want to attack, but rather that he felt his attacks would probably have no effect on these exceptionally hard metal objects. After all, it's already difficult to crush a small stone with the wind, let alone crush thousands upon thousands of tiny, hard metal particles floating in the air.

As the last Yaksha of the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, he is skilled at fighting all kinds of demons and monsters. No matter how large or ferocious the enemy is, he will not be afraid. But faced with such a small metal creation that he had never seen before, Xiao was really at a loss.

When the number of aircraft surrounding Bai Chen exceeded 5000 million, the airflow from the aircraft alone formed a tornado on the spot. The heat waves emitted during flight even scorched the grass on the ground. The scorching airflow spread in all directions, and the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons felt his lips were a little dry.

Simply forming metal pillars around the aircraft was no longer enough to meet the needs of the swarm. The swarm had formed a mushroom-shaped protective umbrella in the sky, flying in all directions, devouring and assimilating the flowers, grass and trees, while also penetrating deep into the ground, beginning to devour the ground and searching for metal ores buried under the soil.

Xiao could no longer see the enemy, or even Dihua Isle; Bai Chen had released far too many aircraft.

He silently put He Puyuan away, feeling that today was not the day to duel with Bai Chen. The Wind God had already fallen into the hands of these extraterrestrial demons. His most important task now was to return to Liyue and explain the situation to the Emperor.

A gentle breeze swept by, and Xiao disappeared without a word from the Dihua Isle, rushing towards Liyue City to report what had happened to Morax, the Geo Archon.

Bai Chen was of course aware of Xiao's actions. In fact, he was just waiting for this Yaksha to leave on his own, preferably bringing the Rock God's true form over, so that the two sides could have a decisive battle in this wilderness. He would also bring out Ancestor Kevin, along with the Three Herrschers and Otto, to settle the score right here.

"To make Morax take this more seriously, let's build a base here first." Bai Chen hovered in mid-air, closed his eyes, and began to fully control the group of machines around him.

Liyue is rich in metals and ores. At this moment, countless aircraft flew downwards, and the metal veins buried hundreds of meters below Dihua Island were cut up and swallowed up by the aircraft within minutes.

Bai Chen did not intend to use these machine groups for direct combat. He simply wanted to utilize the characteristics of machine group fusion, the underground ore, and his own knowledge reserves to temporarily create a robot factory.

"Let me think... what did the T-800 robots look like in the Terminator movies I watched before?"

Chapter Eleven: My Swarm is Endless

Dihua Island was originally a beautiful river beach, but overnight, all its beautiful scenery disappeared.

"What...what is this?!"

Standing on the top floor of her inn, Philodendra, the proprietress of Wangshu Inn, gazed at the distant Dihua Isle and couldn't help but let out a sound of disbelief.

What should have been a beautiful shallow beach with lush green grass and calm waters vanished overnight, replaced by a huge, aesthetically unappealing man-made metal structure that resembled an overturned black bowl.

The inhabitants of Teyvat had never seen anything like this before. Not to mention that even the most powerful Geo-elemental Vision holders could not build such a massive structure overnight, their creations should not have a metallic texture, but rather be rock-based structures with obvious earth and stone properties.

The Thousand Rock Army patrolling nearby also noticed the anomaly at Dihua Island. However, these Thousand Rock Army soldiers had all received rigorous training and knew that such anomalies that appeared overnight were beyond the capabilities of ordinary soldiers like them. Therefore, after leaving some people to observe the situation from a distance, several Thousand Rock Army soldiers rode to Liyue Harbor to report the matter to the Liyue Seven Stars.

Meanwhile, at the original site of Dihuazhou, inside the "Hall of Heroes" of the mechanical workshop, Bai Chen was sitting in the control chair at the center of the workshop.

This is a large hall entirely constructed of steel, located about ten meters underground. There are nineteen doors in this hall, eighteen of which lead to different military production workshops, while the one directly opposite is a spatial door created by Bai Chen using the combined powers of the Void Worm and the Herrscher of Reason.

The entire Valhalla of the Mechanical Workshop has no doors leading to the outside world. Its exterior is covered with high-strength steel, which is still being thickened. Considering that Teyvat does not have nuclear bombs or long-range missiles or other explosive weapons, the strongest possible attack is a giant meteorite dropped by Morax, the Geo Archon of the Seven Gods. Therefore, the external armor material does not have properties such as radiation resistance, explosion resistance, or high temperature resistance. Instead, it has extremely high strength and toughness, providing excellent defense against purely physical attacks.

As for transporting mechanical troops to the outside world, Bai Chen plans to connect them all through spatial wormholes he creates. After repeatedly developing and researching the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, and with the creative abilities of the Herrscher of Reason, he has been able to create stable spatial connection points. Even without using the powers of the Herrscher of the Void to maintain them, the spatial connection points he creates can exist independently for nearly a month.
