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

[Apocalypse is one of the three most prestigious families in Mandate of Heaven. To possess this name is something countless people covet, yet you despise it from the bottom of your heart and have no desire to become a member of this corrupt family.]

[To exact revenge, you had to bury your hatred deep within and acknowledge your enemy as your father: Thank you for your grace... Grandpa.]

At age 5, you acquire a new surname and identity, entering the Apocalypse family. The lab rats who once faced daily death in the laboratory are now transformed into the esteemed young master of the Apocalypse family, revered and flattered by countless people, enjoying unparalleled fame and fortune.

At the Apocalypse home, you meet a silver-haired girl who looks about your age and bears an exact resemblance to your deceased sister, Lilith.

Upon first seeing the silver-haired girl, you even thought your deceased sister had come back to life. A slight wavering stirred in your previously cold heart, and a faint light appeared in your usually dark and deep eyes.

[This girl named Theresa, like you, is a creation of Otto himself. She is also a victor who survived the battles against her own kind and has always been cherished by Otto.]

Theresa, though Otto's granddaughter whom he raised himself, is kind-hearted, upright, and courageous. After hearing about your past experiences in the laboratory, she secretly vowed to love you like a younger brother and make amends for the mistakes her grandfather Otto made with you.

So, when they first met, Theresa's pretty face lit up with a warm, sunny smile: "Jojo, welcome to the Apocalypse family. From now on, we're family. You can think of me as your older sister, and I'll love you like a younger brother!"

[Option 1: Okay... Big sister! Please... love me well!]

[Option 2: I can't be as close to you as a brother and sister, but... if you really want to get along with me, we can start as friends.]

[Option 3: Don't try to act young, you're over forty! Dream on if you want me to call you "sister"! You're old enough to be my mother!]

Jojo would love to be on good terms with Theresa, the cutest girl in the world.

But don't overthink it... Following the pattern of the villain's life simulator, if Qiao Qiao chooses the kind answer, it won't have a good result. Instead, it will lead Qiao Qiao to a tragic and devastating end.

Here we have to... make do with the world's cutest Theresa!

In your eyes, the only person in this world who truly cares for you is your sister Lilith, and this girl named "Theresa" just happens to look exactly like your sister.

You have no parents, no one in the world cares about you, even your only trusted friend Rita betrayed you. Only Lilith is truly good to you, but even the only family member in the world who is good to you was driven to death by Otto.

You hate Otto, you hate fate, you hate everyone in this world, including Otto's most beloved granddaughter, Theresa.

You looked coldly at the smiling Theresa and said arrogantly, "Don't try to act young, you're over forty. Dream on if you want me to call you 'sister'! You're old enough to be my mother!"

Upon hearing your answer, Theresa's smiling face instantly darkened, and large tears welled up in her eyes.

Your words seemed to strike a chord deep within her, causing her to burst into tears. Yet, as you watched the silver-haired girl weep, a sense of vengeful pleasure welled up within you.

Chapter 227 Reunion with Rita

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

I'm sorry, Theresa, my darling.

However... this 100 crystal reward is really tempting!

You will portray Theresa with resentment, as if you were witnessing everything that Destiny and the Apocalypse family had done to you and Lilith.

Although Theresa was deeply hurt by your words, her kind heart tells her that your sharp tongue and aggressive attitude stem from the inhumane treatment you suffered at the Destiny Institute, which led to your distorted personality. She believes that as family, she can guide, care for, and love you, and one day your heart, scarred by the hurt you've received, will heal, allowing you to let down your guard and accept others.

Kind-hearted Theresa couldn't bear to watch you fall into darkness. She firmly believed she could change your dark and closed-off heart through education. No matter how cold your attitude was, she always played the role of an older sister, giving you special care.

Qiaoqiao had often seen some kind-hearted girls who didn't respect law-abiding and good people, but instead paid special attention to those who misbehaved and caused trouble everywhere. She hoped that through her efforts, she could help those bad students reform and turn over a new leaf.

It seems that villains with tragic backstories are more likely to win women's sympathy than well-behaved ordinary people.

At age 6, as a member of the Apocalypse family, you didn't need to undergo rigorous tests and assessments like others; you directly entered the Schicksal headquarters and became a warrior fighting against the Honkai.

Otto highly values ​​you for surviving the "Iron Blood Project" and has mobilized all of Schicksal's resources to nurture you into a valuable asset.

At age 7, under Otto's careful tutelage, your strength has steadily increased. You have repeatedly achieved great feats on the battlefield against the Honkai, and the followers and believers of Schicksal are amazed by your power, praising your strength endlessly.

Bishop Otto also highly values ​​your abilities and achievements, entrusting you with important responsibilities without any reservations.

At age 8, under Otto's orders, you followed the Valkyrie unit to Manchester, England, to suppress a riot of Honkai Beasts.

The leader of that Valkyrie unit was none other than the renowned Ragnar Rodbrok, a woman of exceptional skill and honor, who had distinguished herself on the battlefield. She had also mentored many talented Valkyries and was a figure of great respect and prestige within Schicksal.

As you step onto the familiar soil of Manchester, a sense of nostalgia washes over you, replaced by a burning rage. This once peaceful and prosperous city is now engulfed in war due to the invasion of Honkai Beasts.

Amidst the chaos, as always, in order to gain the most outstanding merit and the bishop's trust, you were the first to charge into the battlefield, unleashing a bloody massacre on the Honkai Beasts wreaking havoc.

[You wield your long sword, slaying one Honkai Beast after another. Although your sole focus is killing Honkai Beasts and gaining merit, many ordinary citizens survive because of your hunting of Honkai Beasts.]

The city streets were littered with the mangled corpses of Honkai Beasts. You swiftly and decisively swung your sword, ending the life of a five-meter-tall Honkai Beast. Immediately, the residents of the street cheered and applauded excitedly, regarding you as the "hero" who had saved their lives.

[Just then, you noticed a short-haired girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a long black dress, standing in front of the Honkai Beast that had just fallen and died.]

The moment you saw that pretty face, you immediately recognized her as the eldest daughter of the Losweiser family.

[Clearly, you just slew a Honkai Beast and inadvertently saved her life. She looks at you with an unusual light in her eyes, full of admiration.]

But you were indifferent to this former friend, turning and walking away.

After clearing out all the Honkai Beasts, Rita found you at the Church of Destiny in Manchester: Jojo, is that you?

[Faced with Rita's question, you remain silent, while she happily continues: "Ever since we parted three years ago, I've been searching for you! But... thank goodness... not only are you alive, but you've become a hero of Destiny!"]

[You are no longer a dependent servant of the Losweiser family, but the eldest son of the Apocalypse family, the chosen one, a great hero who has achieved great feats, and is worshipped by all.]

Deep down, you didn't crave the power and status that everyone envied. If you had a choice, you would rather return to the streets of Manchester and wander with Lilith. That period of wandering was the happiest time of your short life.

But... Rita destroyed your happy days with her own hands.

[And it seems... she doesn't know that her betrayal to Schicksal indirectly led to the death of your sister Lilith, and even thinks you're much happier now as the Son of Schicksal than when you were a servant.]

Rita told you that she has now become Ragnar's disciple and aspires to become a Valkyrie like you, protecting the people. She even brandished a giant blood scythe before you, dancing gracefully like a ballerina, hoping to receive your guidance.

What's your opinion of Rita's elegant dance moves?

[Option 1: As expected of Rita, she easily accomplishes things that ordinary people can't. It's truly exhilarating and leaves me in awe!]

[Option 2: Although you lack practical experience, you have decent talent. With professional guidance, you will definitely achieve great things.]

[Option 3: With your mediocre skills, if you were to become a Valkyrie of Destiny, pigs would fly!]

It's that same kind of option as in visual novels again...

Needless to say, it's not much different from the previous villain life simulation. Choosing a kind answer will put Qiao Qiao in danger, or even kill her.

On the contrary, Qiao Qiao can get a generous reward for saying the villain's lines.

"I choose...the third one!"

[You coldly say to Rita, who is full of hope for praise: With your mediocre skills, if you were to become the Valkyrie of Destiny, pigs would fly!]

Hearing your sharp and sarcastic words, Rita, who had been excited to see you again, suddenly felt ashamed and wanted to disappear. Her eyes reddened slightly, and tears welled up. She raised her slender, white fingers to cover her crying face, sobbing uncontrollably, and turned to run away, looking very heartbroken.

Seeing Rita crying in sorrow, you felt a surge of vengeful pleasure, and a triumphant smile spread across your face.

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

Chapter 228 The Ambitions of the Holy Son of Destiny

After hearing your sharp and merciless sarcasm, Rita covered her face and wept sadly, then ran away as if fleeing. You, on the other hand, felt a great sense of relief and wanted to return to your church room alone to rest.

[But before you could take more than a few steps, a woman dressed in a black Valkyrie uniform, with shoulder-length short hair, fair and smooth skin, and a charming yet mature face, leaned against the wall, blocking your path, with a heavy greatsword beside her.]

You instantly recognize the mature and beautiful woman before you as Ragnar Rodbrooke, captain of the Valkyrie Stormtroopers and Rita's mentor. Without a word, she effortlessly raises her heavy sword and presses it against your throat.

Back then, Otto ordered the capture of Lilith and Jojo, and Ragnar was one of the elite Valkyries tasked with their capture.

[That heavy sword was placed against your throat, ready to sever your head at any moment, making your face extremely solemn and your body afraid to move an inch.]

Seeing you obediently submit, Ragnar's purple eyes flashed with a chilling light as he said coldly, "Rita, she is my beloved student. If I ever see you harm her like you did today again, I will never let you off."

[Facing the blade pressed against your throat, you showed no fear, instead letting out a few cold laughs and saying: "Rita is your beloved disciple, so you care about and favor her. Then what about my sister, whom she killed? Did she deserve to die unjustly?!"]

Hearing your rebuke, Ragnar was speechless for a moment, his expression one of guilt as he lowered his head. He felt a chill run through his body, and even the fingers gripping his greatsword froze, unable to move.

Seeing Ragnar stop her blade, your eyes were filled with indifference and mockery, as if Ragnar and the blade in her hand were invisible air, and you strolled past her leisurely. And Ragnar never had the courage to swing her blade at you and eradicate evil.

[At 9 years old, you possess the genes of both Kallen and Otto, giving you Honkai energy adaptability and combat talent far exceeding that of ordinary people. Combined with the mutated talent "Vampire" bestowed upon you by Vishnu, you have repeatedly triumphed on the front lines against the Honkai, continuously absorbing the genes of Honkai beasts and constantly increasing your strength.]

Ultimately, you did not disappoint Otto's expectations and guidance, becoming the undisputed strongest member of Schicksal.

Otto is very satisfied with your outstanding performance, and the Apocalypse family and the followers of Schicksal admire you greatly.

[At the same time, due to the Vishnu gene within you, your body, like Theresa's, is frozen at 14 years old and will never age.]

[At age 10, you told Theresa that Cecilia was blown up by Otto during the Second Honkai Impact, and revealed to her the fact that Bishop Otto had been using Valkyries for human experiments for many years. This caused a rift in Theresa's relationship with Otto, and she eventually left Schicksal to establish St. Freya Academy in the Far East.]

After Theresa left the Schicksal headquarters, Otto stepped down as head of the Apocalypse family and passed the position to you, who hold a very high position of prestige within Schicksal.

After succeeding as head of the Apocalypse family, you no longer throw yourself into frontline battles and seek glory as before. Instead, you consider yourself the "Holy Child" of Destiny, becoming the strategist, commanding the Valkyrie forces in battle, exchanging ideas with the Elders of Destiny, and gradually cultivating your own faction to seize real power.

Now, Theresa has left Schicksal headquarters, and you are the head of the Apocalypse family, the Holy Son of Schicksal.

The elders and followers of Destiny are all intelligent men. They all believe that you, with your practical combat skills and political acumen, are the only future successor to Otto Apocalypse, and they have all proactively pledged their loyalty and pledged their allegiance to you.

Am I to succeed Otto Apocalypse?

This is ridiculous...

You should know that Otto is an old monster who survived for five hundred years with his Soul Steel body, and is almost immortal.

God knows how long Otto can survive in this simulated world.

It's probably not that Jojo is dead, but that Otto guy is still young and energetic.

If Otto survives for another five hundred years, wouldn't Jojo be the Holy Son for five hundred years?

He has now befriended so many elders of destiny, built up his power, and is constantly expanding and growing stronger, which is subtly threatening the bishop's position.

In the future, we might have to follow the example of a certain emperor from the Tang Dynasty and force the previous emperor to abdicate.

[Having become the head of the Apocalypse family and the heir to the bishopric, your position in the Destiny is already incredibly high, second only to Bishop Otto. Behind you are thousands upon thousands of Valkyries and followers, all hoping that you will succeed to the bishopric.]

[But you don't care about the position of family head that everyone desires, nor the glory of being the heir. Even becoming a bishop isn't what you truly want. What you truly desire is for Otto Apocalypse to pay a terrible price for what he did, and to avenge the death of Lilith!]

[And soon, your chance for revenge came. Bishop Otto, while on a secret mission, was ambushed by the World Serpent and shot in the head by a sniper.]

[An ordinary person shot in the head would die instantly. However, Bishop Otto's body is made of Soul Steel, so even if his body is damaged, his soul and consciousness will first enter a transit station before entering a new Soul Steel body.]

[The weapon used by Bishop Otto, the First Divine Key: Void Treasury, was stored in the sanctuary of the Apocalypse family during his consciousness transfer.]

[As the Chosen One, Otto's successor, and the current head of the Apocalypse family, you easily entered the sacred chamber where the Void Treasury is kept.]

On the stone platform in the center of the sanctuary, a hexagonal cube surrounded by flowing golden light floated in mid-air, radiating golden light and exuding unparalleled nobility.

Seeing the Void Treasury shimmering with golden light, a look of curiosity crossed your face, and you couldn't resist reaching out to touch it. Perhaps it was due to your innate intelligence, or perhaps it was because of the Apocalypse bloodline within you, but you actually reacted to the First Divine Key.

[A powerful golden light suddenly erupted from the surface of the Void Treasury, and your hand was firmly attached to the golden cube as if caught in a vortex.]
