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

It's worth noting that the Titan mechs have a dazzling track record of knocking out the Herrscher of Wind after she was weakened by the three starter mechs. Even if Durandal were to be hit by them solidly, she probably wouldn't be unharmed.

Her clear, blue eyes, as bright as the sea, stared intently at the Titan mech that was her target. She leaped high into the air like a shooting star flying in reverse, throwing her lance, which created a silver-white streak that pierced through the Titan mech's hard shell.

With a loud "bang," an explosion rang out, and with the burst of air and flames, a Titan mech was completely reduced to wreckage beneath the Holy Lance.

As the simulated battle intensified, Durandal's pale golden, wavy hair became damp with glistening beads of sweat, which shimmered in the air like butterfly scales.

Dozens of Titan mech wreckage appeared at her feet...

After completing the training, even Durandal was panting heavily. After drinking some saline solution, she could feel the Honkai energy in her body gradually recovering.

Although she hasn't reached her peak yet, she's already comparable to a typical S-rank Valkyrie.

However, as her power returned, Durandal did not feel as happy as she had imagined. Although she had been captured by the World Serpent at first, she had been thinking about escaping the prison all the time, even at any cost... but she met Jojo in the prison.

Although Jojo is a high-ranking member of World Serpent and the torturer responsible for training him, he also helped protect his other comrades in the Undying Blade.

Moreover, he confessed his feelings to her, giving Durandal her first longing and impulse towards the opposite sex.

However, Jojo's lukewarm attitude towards her made Durandal feel that he was just playing around with her.

Especially after arriving outside of Anti-Entropy, he became unusually close to Cocolia, the female fox, and even felt that a secret had been revealed between them.

Even though Durandal knew Jojo was just toying with her, she still couldn't let go of the feelings in her heart...

"I thought cultivation would stop me from overthinking, but it seems I can't escape this mental burden after all..." Durandal sighed sadly, "Qiaoqiao, do you really love me... or are you just using me as a tool to play with?"

"Miss Durandal, who has offended you? Why take your anger out on these emotionless virtual props? How about we do something real?"

Suddenly a familiar male voice rang out. Durandal raised her eyebrows slightly, and the Titan mech wreckage beneath her feet displayed garbled data like images from an old videotape before turning into particles of light and disappearing into the air.

These Titan mechs are all virtual mechs generated in this simulation; they do not actually exist.

Following the sound, Durandal turned around and saw a handsome young man standing at the entrance of the training ground.

Upon seeing her, Durandal initially smiled, but quickly straightened her face and said, "Aren't you always busy with that Anti-Entropy acting leader, Cocolia? How come you have time to see me?"

"How could that be?" Qiao Qiao said with a shameless smile, "Compared to you, no other woman is important."

"Hmph..." Durandal put away the Holy Lance in her hand and said to JoJo without any politeness, "...You're now hooked up with the powerful and beautiful leader of Anti-Entropy. With her around, taking down the Herrscher of the Wind is no problem at all. How could a Valkyrie who only knows how to wipe out enemies be taken seriously by you, the male master of Anti-Entropy?"

Upon hearing Durandal's words, Qiao Qiao frowned slightly. He felt that Durandal was like a powder keg today, about to explode.

[There was a hint of resentment in Durandal's words to you, and your next response was...]

[Option 1: Reach out and embrace Durandal's slender waist, saying affectionately, "Durandal, don't talk nonsense. I only want you as my woman in this life. I don't care about anyone else."]

[Option 2: Immediately kneel down, weeping and pleading, "Wife, I was just temporarily bewitched by that vixen. I know I was wrong now, please forgive me!"]

[Option 3: With a huff, she turned and left, gritting her teeth as she said, "Durandal, my kindness to Cocolia was merely to exploit Anti-Entropy's power. But since you don't trust me, let's part ways here!"]

Good guy...

This is yet another option that gives people a completely different feeling.

The first one is a heartfelt confession.

The second is to offer a sincere apology.

The third one spoke decisively: "Why are you so assertive when you're the one entangled with other women? You're shameless."

But... that's the kind of shamelessness a villain would do!

Qiaoqiao chose the third option.

"Humph!"

Qiaoqiao snorted angrily, still feeling that the performance wasn't satisfying enough. She turned her head away with a pout, her right hand clenched slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was heartbroken.

"Durandal, my kindness to Cocolia was merely to exploit the power of Anti-Entropy, but since you don't trust me, let's part ways here!"

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

After saying that, Qiaoqiao was still in high spirits and continued, "If we ever meet again, we'll be enemies. You can just kill me!"

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

Yulandel turned pale with fright, her mouth slightly agape. She had initially thought that Qiao Qiao had confessed to her, yet was with other women, clearly toying with her feelings.

After hearing what JoJo said, Durandal lowered her head, realizing that she had misunderstood JoJo. After all, their goal was to eliminate the Herrscher of the Wind, and JoJo had gone to great lengths to please Cocolia, even sacrificing his charms. Instead of appreciating his hard work, she had misunderstood him as toying with her, which was wrong of her.

"Qiaoqiao, stop right there."

Yulandel walked up, took Qiaoqiao's hand, and said with a guilty expression, "Qiaoqiao, I know I acted impulsively and misunderstood you. Please forgive me, okay?"

what?

Qiaoqiao froze for a moment.

No...

I clearly said I wanted to break up with you, and I didn't even apologize. Why aren't you angry? Why are you apologizing to me instead?

Qiaoqiao finally understood what it meant... deep affection is always betrayed, while indifference is pursued.

There is no future in being a simp.

JoJo felt a little uncomfortable seeing Durandal's momentum soften, and casually said, "Since you know you were wrong... let's just let this matter go!"

Seeing that Qiao Qiao had no intention of leaving, Durandal breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she became extremely nervous as soon as she heard that Qiao Qiao was going to leave her. Even when she first went to the battlefield to exterminate the Honkai Beasts, she had never been so restless.

"However... I know you approached Cocolia to eliminate the Fourth Herrscher, but why did you send the Anti-Entropy army to Schicksal base in New Jersey?"

In Durandal's view, Jojo, as a member of the World Serpent, was simply asking for trouble by leading the Anti-Entropy people to the Destiny Base.

“Durandal, you don’t understand.” Jojo released Durandal’s hand, took two steps forward, and turned back to her with a smile, saying, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s Schicksal’s territory. The essence of the Herrscher of Wind is right there.”

"How is this possible?" Durandal's expression changed, and she found it hard to believe. "We, Schicksal, have always been irreconcilable with the Honkai. No matter what, the Herrscher of the Wind could not possibly appear among us."

From Durandal's perspective, who was unaware of Otto's ulterior motives, Schicksal, having long fought against Honkai and possessing a deep understanding of how to control it, was the least likely place for a Herrscher to appear.

But to Qiaoqiao, who knew the game's plot, her deduction was ridiculous. Destiny wouldn't give birth to a Herrscher, just as ridiculous as St. Freya Academy having no Herrschers studying there.

With her hands behind her back, Qiao Qiao looked at Durandal with bewitching eyes like black snakes: "Durandal, don't be fooled by Schicksal's self-proclaimed status as a savior organization fighting against the Honkai. In fact, behind Schicksal's light lies a deep darkness."

"What...are you saying?"

At this point, Durandal probably still considered Otto as her benefactor who had helped her, and never imagined that he would be conducting research on Herrschers behind the scenes.

Looking at Durandal's terrified expression, JoJo said with amusement, "Schicksal is indeed fighting against the Honkai, but at the same time, they are also researching the Honkai. Their achievements are not only in you Valkyries, but also in their experiments of injecting Honkai energy into the human body and embedding Herrscher cores into the human body."

Upon hearing Qiaoqiao's words, Durandal was somewhat incredulous: "Using living people for experiments?"

“Hmm…” JoJo nodded with a mischievous smile and said, “The Second Herrscher was created by your Schicksal, and the Fourth Herrscher will also be created by your Schicksal.”

"It's ridiculous, isn't it..." JoJo said with a somewhat lonely smile, "The one who created the Honkai Apostles is Schicksal, who is hailed as the savior, while I, as a snake lurking in the darkness, have to kill the Herrscher."

Durandal felt that her education had been severely impacted. She bit her lip and looked extremely pale. She wanted to convince herself that everything JoJo had said was a lie, but if everything was a lie, then it would be meaningless for JoJo to lead the Anti-Entropy forces to the Destiny Base.

Although Durandal didn't know how Jojo foresaw the birth of the Fourth Herrscher, she had to admit that there was an 80% chance that what he said was true.

Even if Destiny is truly filled with darkness and evil as Jojo says, Durandal will not oppose the darkness. After all, without Destiny, there would be no ruler in this world, and all order would collapse. In that case, humanity would truly perish.

Durandal's pretty face gained a touch of heroic spirit as she said, "Even if fate deviates from its correct path, I will correct it with my own hands!"

Jojo knew that Durandal was excessively upright and rather stubborn, and didn't expect to be persuaded to switch sides with the World Serpent in a few words. With a slight smile, she said, "Miss Durandal, it wouldn't be fun if you easily fell into depravity. You have to be as pure and flawless as this... otherwise, I can't help but want to ruin and defile you!"

Chapter 104 I'm willing to do anything as long as Qiao Qiao is happy (6K)

The office of the commander of the North American branch of Anti-Entropy was decorated in an elegant and magnificent Western European style. Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the corridor leading to the office door. A slender, fair hand roughly pushed open the door with a loud "bang".

Directly in front of the commander's office, a beautiful woman in a gray-brown military uniform, with a full, snow-white chest and a face as alluring as a fox, heard the voice. A slight smile curved her lips as she casually put down the touch panel in her hand and said lazily, "You've come... Dr. Einstein."

"Cocolia, have you gone mad?"

The person who entered the commander's office was a slender young girl. She was wearing a school uniform-style top and shorts, and looked like any girl you could see at school. However, her fair and flawless face gave her a touch of intelligence.

Her name was Einstein, and she had short, light blue hair combed back, slightly messy, which led her to call her "bird's nest" by her friend and arch-rival, Dr. Tesla.

Despite her youthful appearance, she is actually an old woman who has survived from World War II and possesses an extraordinary genius mind. As one of the "executors" of Anti-Entropy, she invented terrifying weapons such as the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb, which are capable of killing Herrschers.

However, Einstein himself was not happy at all about inventing the Honkai energy fission bomb, and even felt somewhat guilty.

Ai slammed the order issued by Cocolia onto the desk in front of Cocolia's chest, gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Cocolia, the leader of Anti-Entropy is currently missing. What right do you have to order the Anti-Entropy headquarters fleet to set sail and attack Schicksal's New Zealand base!"

Although Anti-Entropy and Destiny are both organizations fighting against the Honkai, they are enemies of each other.

Unlike Destiny, which is entirely headed by bishops, Anti-Entropy has an "Executor" system, with each Executor controlling a different area of ​​Anti-Entropy.

The executive officer and his subordinates belong to two factions: the "conservatives" and the "reformers." The former, executor Cocolia, disregards the sacrifice of personnel in order to eliminate the Honkai, and has the radical idea of ​​"sacrificing the few for the many." The latter, the "conservatives," adhere to the ideas of the first leader, Welt, and avoid casualties while fighting the Honkai.

These two factions are clearly hostile to each other, judging solely from their respective ideologies.

Previously, it was only because the Alliance Leader Welt commanded both sides that they were able to maintain a peaceful status quo. However, with the disappearance of Alliance Leader Welt, Cocolia took advantage of the situation and used various means to steal command of Anti-Entropy.

Faced with Einstein's question, Cocolia compromised with both hands, her eyelashes curving into a leisurely smile: "Dr. Einstein, since the disappearance of Alliance Leader Walter, I have been acting as the Alliance Leader. This fleet voyage was approved by me, so please don't obstruct it any further."

"Cocolia, you little vixen, you finally couldn't resist showing your tail, could you?"

Einstein's eyes flashed with a cold light: "You took advantage of Walter's absence to usurp the position of leader, and now you want to directly attack the Destiny Base. What is your reason?"

Einstein knew that Cocolia had always harbored ambitions, and it was entirely expected that she would try to seize Walter's leadership. However, she couldn't understand why Cocolia would attack Schicksal's New Zealand base at this time.

Is she simply trying to defy fate and commit suicide, or has she discovered something important at the New Zealand base and wants to steal it?

“Because…” Cocolia’s purple eyes rippled slightly as she said, her face flushed, “Because it was… Master’s order!”

"What...did you say? Master???"

A slight look of astonishment appeared on Einstein's usually calm and composed face. As far as she knew, Cocolia had only one belief in her life: to help those children who were suffering. All her actions, even her cruel human experiments, were driven by this belief. For this reason, she was a master of political maneuvering, and even Walter, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, could not make her completely obey him.

What kind of person could possibly make Cocolia, this female fox, willingly submit to him...?

Einstein bent forward slightly, looking at Cocolia with confusion: "Cocolia...who exactly is your master?"

"Einstein, you want to know?"

Cocolia, abandoning her usual languid demeanor, suddenly flushed with excitement, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light: "He's the most handsome man I've ever seen in my life, incredibly strong and intelligent. I've fallen deeply in love with him. I'll do anything for Jojo's happiness..."

Cocolia showered Einstein with compliments, but failed to reveal the man's origins or name, leaving her puzzled and confused.

"You're going to let Anti-Entropy's army attack Schicksal's base just for a man?"

Since ancient times, there have been stories of emperors attacking other countries to win the smile of their favorite concubines, but this is the first time I've heard of a woman attacking another country for a man... You must know... the power of destiny almost rules the entire world, and is more powerful than any country in human history.

“I trust Master’s orders…” Cocolia’s tone shifted to one of maturity and calm, her absolute trust in Jojo evident in her voice: “Any enemy he chooses to defeat, I will never let go, especially one that is Destiny…”
