I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

There seemed to be something making a soft sound.

It sounded like chains clanging.

If I remember correctly, it was Miss Velvet who personally pressed the launch button, right?

Oh, let me think... who was responsible for all of that?

Snap——

There seemed to be a crack in something.

[It seems to be... the "Eighth Herrscher," right?]

[It's quite a coincidence, really. The power I'm currently controlling seems to be from the "Eighth Herrscher"—a power of consciousness. What a coincidence! Don't you think so? Don't you?!]

"The Lawyer... The Lawyer!"

An angry roar reached everyone's ears.

Clapping—

Snap——

It was the sound of countless chains colliding with each other, the soft clatter of countless chains cracking.

“Alicia…my little sister…”

Gretchen rushed over from the side, carrying a strange painting... The painting was actually emitting flames! The intense heat emanating from it was terrifying, and Gretchen hurriedly placed it aside before running away... Even though she was a grown woman, she was still terrified of the person in the painting.

【Oh my? Oh my oh my?】

However, it didn't seem to care about this, even though... it knew who was inside.

"It's you, Qianjie?"

“Herrserk!!!”

A hand, seemingly encased in lava, emerged from the painting, carrying countless red-hot chains, and was fastened to the ground.

"Hehehe... Haha... Hahahaha!!! Excellent! Herrscher!!! My anger has been wasted for far too long!!!"

Snap——

One by one, the chains snapped, and a "monster" enveloped in flames and lava stepped out of the painting, breaking the chains binding him little by little.

"Without further ado!"

Bang!

He broke another chain.

"Come!!!"

At this moment, he only had one chain left on his body... but anyone could see that the chain was extremely fragile and would break and shatter at any moment.

All it takes is... all it takes is for Qianjie to take one more step forward.

then……

[Hahaha~ Sure, come on, Thousand Tribulations!]

It seemed to be doing it on purpose, using exaggerated movements and an aria-like tone to speak to Qian Jie.

【Give it a try, Qianjie, try... to save "Dawn"~】

Hmm...very good.

"The Eighth Herrscher," the sarcastic tone, the moon, related to the Dawn, nearing the final moment, plus this sentence now... Very good, the conditions have been completely met.

The scene before me almost overlapped with the past.

“Herrserk!!!”

Qian Jie's nerves... snapped completely.

"You! Deserve! To! Die!!!"

boom! ! !

A tremendous explosion shook everyone's eardrums. Almost instantly, Qianjie arrived in front of it, raised his fist, and with endless flames and the rage accumulated over the past, he swung it at it!

However, at this moment, it appeared leisurely, slowly raising its head, controlling that body, and softly calling out.

[A thousand tribulations?]

Her voice was soft, but also carried a hint of confusion and doubt.

That was... Xi Wang's voice.

"?!"

Even knowing it was fake, Qian Jie's figure still faltered for a moment, as if a bucket of water had been poured over a raging fire, and his consciousness, which had been overwhelmed by anger, seemed to regain its clarity in that instant.

But at this moment... his attack could no longer be stopped.

boom! ! !

Its controlled body... was blasted away like a kite with a broken string, rolling on the ground, its limbs bent, like a puppet with a broken string.

Qianjie, unusually, did not pursue, but simply stood still, his gaze fixed on the direction the body had flown away, remaining motionless for a long time.

[Hahaha... Hahahaha!! Thousand Tribulations! Look~ You still hit him~ You still attacked him~]

However, its voice came again immediately afterward, mocking and sarcastic, a twisted and bizarre laugh that was repulsive.

[Look, look! Qianjie~ This time, you didn't control your power well~ You hit him with all your might~]

Look! His hands and legs have become as flexible as a doll's, able to bend at will! Even his head!

It even deliberately manipulated the silk threads, giving the people present a live demonstration.

Even his handsome face was burned, and his beautiful white hair was burned away too~

Look, look! A thousand tribulations!

It mocked.

This time, you couldn't save him again.

It laughed.

Not only that, this time you even personally...hurt him, Qianjie~

Its voice was unrestrained and flamboyant, just like... the original "Eighth Herrscher".

And this completely ignited Qian Jie's... rage.

"Herrscher!!! You deserve to die!!!"

Come on, come on~ Attack me however you like~

After all, no matter what, it doesn't change the fact that you hurt Xiwang, does it?

Come on, come on~ Crush this body to pieces, burn this body to ashes~

It casually manipulated the body, like an irresponsible and rude puppeteer manipulating a puppet it didn't like, constantly swinging it up and down, letting the "puppet" in its hands bend its limbs and twist its body.

Come on, come on!

It said that.

【Come and destroy your "dawn"!】

"No, you can't..."

But at that moment, another sound rang out from the surroundings.

Her voice was crisp and clear, like that of a young girl, yet it carried a childlike innocence, like that of a newborn.

"Hurting my senior..."

A strange mist quietly spread out, startling everyone present, including Qian Jie and Kevin and others hiding in the shadows.

"Mutilating the body prepared for the senior..."

The mist... quietly enveloped it.

[Ugh...Ugh! Why...can't I move...]

"That's not allowed, is it?"
