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

Looking at herself in the mirror with her prominent ears, Sakura blushed: "Father, you can kill me or do whatever you want, but could you please stop humiliating me like this?"

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals and one opportunity to "duplicate an item".]

Seeing Sakura's displeasure, you immediately perked up. After all, forcing someone to do something against their will is your favorite thing to do. The more Sakura resists your actions, the more rewards you will receive in the simulation.

Next, you handed Sakura various outfits, including a nurse's uniform, a policewoman's uniform, and a maid's uniform.

Although Sakura was unwilling, she could only grit her teeth and endure it for the sake of her younger sister.

[Congratulations, host, you have earned a total of 700 crystals and seven chances to "duplicate items".]

After giving Sakura her training lesson, you took out the exact same thing that Patofilis wore around her neck and put a collar on her.

[You made a promise with Sakura that as long as she is willing to obey your orders from now on, you will do everything in your power to protect Rin's safety and will not harm her.]

Hearing your promise, Sakura looked at you with suspicion. She wouldn't easily believe the words of a gang leader: "Why should I believe you?"

[You noticed Sakura's confusion, and with a slight smile, said, "You have no choice but to trust me."]

[In order to completely end the current rampant Honkai disease, you have finally traced the source of the Honkai disease outbreak across the ten city-states: the frozen tundra in the north, a desolate and obscure region, where a large amount of Honkai energy is currently accumulating and spreading outwards, causing the current rampant Honkai disease.]

You understand that you cannot escape your fate, but can only bravely accept it and try your best to shape it into the way you imagine it to be. Therefore, to defeat the Honkai disease, you embark on a journey to the tundra with Aponia, Padre, Alina, and Sakura.

During the long journey, you often stroked Sakura and Aponia's shapely thighs. Although they always gave you a disgusted look when you touched them, the more disgusted they were, the more fun you had.

[Congratulations, host, you have received 200 crystals and two opportunities to "duplicate items".]

[Shortly after entering the tundra, you encounter a well-equipped army. The surrounding cities, ravaged by Honkai, share your desire to end the Honkai's rampage and have gathered all available forces to come here.]

This army group includes warriors of the Firemoth, knights of the Twilight Street Mithril Knights, and knights of the Order of the Church.

[Among them were two familiar figures: Belial and Essex.]

You were quite surprised to see Essex here. Logically, he should be in jail now, having assaulted you, but he's here as if nothing happened.

Upon closer reflection, you realize that Belial must have used the power of his Church of England to release Essex, and the reason is obvious: to deal with you.

[Shortly after you ventured deeper into the tundra, you discovered that the concentration of Honkai energy here far exceeded your expectations. If someone didn't have Honkai energy adaptability, they would probably contract Honkai disease just from being exposed to this air.]

As you venture deeper into the tundra, you encounter the native inhabitants of the frozen tundra. They wear thick sweaters, speak strange languages, and carry primitive weapons such as wooden clubs and spears. Even more alarming, their skin is covered in eerie red patterns, indicating that they are all sufferers of Honkai disease.

The person in charge of leading this army group's expedition is Belial, the son of the Dean of the Order of the Church. Their Order's duty is to eliminate heretics, and he naturally will not show mercy to those who have been infected with Honkai.

Belial, mounted on horseback and looking down from above, commanded, "Kill all these inferior natives!"

At a command, the knights and soldiers of the army group pulled their triggers, and a hail of bullets pierced their bodies.

[The bloody massacre terrified Alina, who trembled all over; Aponia closed her eyes in heartache and prayed; Sakura watched indifferently as one Honkai patient after another fell.]

[In Sakura's view, although it was pitiful for these Honkai patients to die, since they had contracted this disease, they were already destined to die young. In order to prevent the infection from spreading further, they had to be killed. Although the Order of the Church's approach was extreme, it was indeed the most effective at this stage.]

Seeing you observing all this with indifference, Pado blinked, somewhat puzzled: "Master, don't you think these army soldiers are being too cruel?"

Of everyone present, only Jojo could stop this massacre. After all, the Church, responsible for winning hearts and minds, and the Council of the Church, responsible for dealing with heretics, are like light and shadow. If you say a word, even if Belial doesn't give you face, the army below will hesitate and have to stop.

[But you know better than anyone that even if you order the Command Council to stop, what then? The natives of this frozen tundra are no pushovers either. If the army group backs down, it will likely be the army group itself that gets wiped out.]

[As you predicted, the inhabitants of this permafrost region have long been exposed to air with high concentrations of Honkai energy, causing their bodies to mutate. They don't even feel bullets hitting them and continue to launch counterattacks against the army group.]

A well-equipped army clashed with natives possessing Honkai energy. As the battle raged on, you noticed the snow and ice on the trees rapidly melting away.

A burning object crashed into the center of the battlefield, sending scorching hot air engulfing the area.

A figure standing on the tundra, dressed in extremely thin clothing, was engulfed in flames, letting out a wild and maniacal laugh: "Hahahaha! Outsiders, flee! Otherwise you will face the wrath of a thousand calamities!"

Chapter 43 The Fifth Honkai Eruption

It must be said that Qianjie truly deserves his reputation as one of the top four heroes of the future Fire Moth in terms of combat ability alone. Apart from Aponia, who can control people's minds using the [Discipline], only 2.5 of the thirteen Fire Moth heroes can defeat him.

This includes Kevin the Ancestor, who can use the Heavenly Judgment to part the Earth in the middle, and the lovely pink fairy Miss Alicia, while the other half is Sakura, who can fight him to a draw.

However, Sakura is not a Fusion Warrior yet, and her strength is probably not comparable to that of Thousand Calamity, who was able to tear apart a Herrscher even before becoming a Fusion Warrior.

"Come! Outsider! Throw yourselves into the flames with me, and let me see... who will be... burned to ashes first!"

"You're using this insect-like power to replace destruction? Again—again!"

"Let me hear your cries of agony!"

Thousand Calamities rampaged through the army of the Fire Moths, the Order of the Church, and the Mithril Knights. No one could withstand her blazing flames. Even Belial, who was in charge of commanding the entire army, was so frightened by her godlike aura that he almost fell off his horse.

In response, Qiaoqiao can only say that Qianjie truly lives up to his name, even a fight requires such a grand spectacle, as if he's afraid of not scaring people to death.

Fortunately, although Belial was cruel and domineering, and a complete spoiled brat, he still had some brains. After witnessing the power of the Thousand Calamities, he immediately realized that he was not an opponent that could be confronted head-on, and immediately ordered the army to retreat.

“Father Jojo, you take Paddo, Alina, and Aponia and go ahead. I'll stay behind to cover the rear.”

Sakura's slender hand rested on the Frozen Ground at her waist. Although she had always used this blade to target the Honkai, the Third Divine Key, Seven Thunders of Purification, had now been confiscated by JoJo, leaving her with few other options.

Moreover... no matter how you look at it, the man in front of you, wreathed in flames, doesn't seem like an ordinary human, and... his territory is even more terrifying than the Honkai.

"Hmm... Sakura, I'll give you one more chance to organize your thoughts. What should you call me?"

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Ying's slender hand resting on the Frozen Prison trembled slightly, a blush rising to her cheeks. She stammered, "You should go first... Master..."

Qiao Qiao nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this: "I know Qian Jie is very strong, and fighting him will definitely be a tough battle, but..."

Qiao Qiao smiled slightly and said, "I'm not going to back down here. Ying, I'll fight Qian Jie with you."

Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Ying was deeply shocked. In fact, she had always had a very bad impression of Qiao Qiao. In their first encounter, Qiao Qiao won against Ying by sneak attacking her. Later, she even used Ling to threaten her. She was simply an insidious villain.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Qiao was willing to stand up and stand by him at this critical moment of life and death. It seems that although he is a bad guy, he is also very principled and not a spineless coward who only knows how to talk.

When Pado heard that Qiaoqiao and Ying were going to stay here to fight Qianjie, she was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes: "No! You two are the only two strong fighters in our group. What if we encounter danger if you both stay here? I want to stay with you!"

Just as Pado was about to get off the car with Qiaoqiao and Ying, the sound of a thousand flames exploding suddenly came from not far away, which frightened her so much that she shrank back and trembled.

My God! This man who's covered in flames is terrifying.

You know, I'm terrified of fire!

Seeing Pado's frightened expression, Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh: "You'd better hurry up and leave, or it will be too late."

Jojo glanced back at Aponia and, noticing the wavering look in her eyes, said, "Aponia, if your prophecy is 100% correct, then today won't be my death day."

Aponia looked up at the threads wrapped around Jojo's head and breathed a sigh of relief. But in an instant, she trembled. Why was she worried about the safety of Jojo, a bad person?

No, no, no, I must be afraid that if he dies, there will be no cure for Honkai disease.

I'm just worried about the children in the nursing home.

Alina looked at Jojo with worry in her eyes: "Jojo, you must be safe and sound. Even if you can't beat that monster, you have to escape back."

Jojo reached out and stroked Alina's head to comfort her, "Don't worry, I'll be back."

Before parting, Jojo looked at Aponia and Alina, then at Pado: "Pado, I'm entrusting Alina and Aponia to your care."

Hearing Qiaoqiao's instructions, Pado felt a great sense of responsibility. She was just a weakling, and it was not easy for her to escape from that fiery monster. How could she protect others?

But upon closer reflection, both Aponia and Alina are weak and frail, lacking any real fighting ability, so it seems that only I can protect them.

"Okay, boss, you must give me a raise when you come back."

Hearing this, Qiaoqiao was displeased and replied casually, "At most, I'll add a small dried fish to your breakfast every day."

Pado was heartbroken upon hearing this. She had protected the two of them, and not only did he not pay her for her protection, he didn't even pay her wages. Such a heartless capitalist was truly rare in the world.

On the battlefield, Qianjie grabbed a man by the neck and hoisted him up like a kitten or puppy, letting out a wild and cruel laugh. Flames exploded all over the sky, burning the entire army group to ashes.

"inability!"

"useless!"

"boring!"

On the scorched earth ablaze with flames, Qianjie covered his face with a mask and laughed wildly to himself, while Qiaoqiao unknowingly appeared behind him.

The gaze beneath the Thousand Tribulations Mask caught sight of Qiao Qiao and Ying, and he burst into wild laughter, his mouth almost splitting open to his ears.

"It seems that not all of these people are useless cripples; there are one or two who have some skill," Qianjie said maniacally. "You two run first. After I kill all these scum, I will begin the 'hunt.' But no matter where you run, I will still burn you to ashes!"

Whether out of arrogance or confidence in his own strength, Qianjie completely disregarded Ying and Qiaoqiao, and instead planned to continue to wipe out the entire army group.

But Qiaoqiao and Ying naturally wouldn't let him have his way. Otherwise, what if Pado, Aponia, and Alina were caught in his attack and died?

An enemy engulfed in blazing flames intends to wipe out the entire group. What will you choose...?

[Option 1: He sneered, "Qian Jie, you're a coward. You only know how to bully the weak, but you don't even have the courage to fight me head-on."]

[Option 2: Giving Qianjie the middle finger and saying, "In my opinion, Qianjie, you're just a weakling. You'll definitely get wrecked by me and Ying!"]

I go!

Either of these two options will be met with maximum ridicule. Given Qianjie's personality, he would find Qiaoqiao even if he had to go to the ends of the earth and burn her to ashes.

But that's exactly the effect I wanted. I won't be happy if you don't come and beat me up.

Qiao Qiao gave Qian Jie the middle finger and sneered, "Qian Jie, you're a coward. You only know how to bully the weak, but you don't even have the courage to fight me head-on. In my opinion, Qian Jie, you're just a piece of trash. You'll definitely get slaughtered by me and Ying!"

Qiaoqiao selected both options in one go, effectively blocking her own path.

"Hahahahaha..." Qian Jie trembled with rage, his entire body wreathed in scorching flames, as he angrily declared, "Fine! Very well! Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

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

In an instant, the distance between Qiaoqiao and Qianjie disappeared, and Qianjie's clenched fist smashed into Qiaoqiao's cheek like a cannonball.

Qiao Qiao raised the Seven Thunders of Purification in time to block Qian Jie's fist, causing his attack to deflect. However, even the aftershock was enough to make Qiao Qiao retreat several steps.

Sakura moved with incredible speed; the moment she drew her sword, several sword marks were slashed across the space.

"Haha, you do have some skill!"

Qianjie touched the wound on his chest inflicted by Sakura. Despite his injury, his momentum remained undiminished. He laughed wildly, and then his body erupted with scorching flames. He threw another punch, which was blocked by Sakura's Frosty Prison Ice Sky. Sakura staggered back several steps before regaining her footing and repositioning her sword to face Qianjie.

Qiao Qiao no longer held back. Red horns sprouted from her forehead, and one of her eyes gleamed with golden light. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Ying, she raised the blade of the Seven Thunders of Purification and pointed it at the blade, saying fiercely, "Qian Jie, today only one of us will die."

"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Qian Jie was naturally unafraid, but rather quite excited: "This is the killing intent... right now!"

[You and Sakura are fighting together against Qianjie. The two sides are evenly matched, and it's difficult to determine a winner.]

Just as you were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, Qianjie's expression suddenly changed, and the flames on his body went out.

[You and Sakura quickly sheathed your blades as a terrifying cold wave erupted from the nearby forest, freezing the world in a layer of solid ice.]

Without a word, Qianjie ran towards the direction of the cold wave outbreak, and you recognized the location of the anomaly as the direction in which Pado, Alina, and Aponia had fled.
