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

He rested the sword against his shoulder, the blade lightly touching the broken, almost faded rings on his neck.

He smiled, seemingly relieved, seemingly mad, but more than that... he felt relaxed and expectant.

"The hunt is about to begin."

Snap——

The ring on his neck... shattered and disappeared completely.

He then swung his sword down, severing his own head, and let his body fall, letting the deep blue "blood" flow, letting the water carry his remains into the abyss.

In a daze, Raiden Mei returned to the lightless deep sea.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that his previously tightly closed eyelids were now trembling slightly, his folded wings were showing signs of opening, and even the surrounding seawater seemed to be surging with joy, radiating a distinct emotion called happiness.

He's going to wake up.

Raiden Mei disregarded everything else and quickly returned to the cabin, but before they could make any further moves, the entire ocean began to surge, pulling them all upwards.

tick-

The sky remained clear, but the rain fell silently, and on the planet's surface, azure "patterns" quietly appeared and covered the surface.

Woo——woo——

The horn sounds rang out in succession, and in an instant there were seven.

The sea rose, rain fell, pure white wings unfurled in the holy light, a [ring] signifying identity appeared above their heads, the intoxicating fragrance of lilies filled the air, and countless Honkai Beasts celebrated joyfully.

At this moment, he stood on the calm sea, slowly and gently flapping his wings and flying into the air.

Golden, starlight-like pupils opened, unfocused and lifeless.

With a casual gesture, the strange, dark-colored greatsword was swept away by the flowing water and landed in his hand.

The air became humid, and the flowing wind carried the unique scent of the sea.

"........."

He shifted his gaze to the group that was already prepared, and with a wave of his hand, summoned a giant wave and countless Honkai Beasts, as numerous as the sea.

Come on, let's begin the final... [hunt]!

…………

………………

Then, time stood still.

--------

So... are you satisfied with the ending this time?

Are you kidding me? How could I possibly be satisfied?!

Since that's the case... then let's continue until we reach the ending you expect and are satisfied with.

As for this unsatisfactory story... let's leave it at that for now.

And so, the stagnant [time] began to flow... [Time] still moved forward, but everything that existed was moving backward, as if playing in reverse, everything was moving back towards a [reference point].

During this process, the starlight gradually appeared, then was peeled away, turning into a piece of paper covered with unique words, and then... silently disappeared into his body.

[Entry: Record, in effect]

In conclusion, welcome to... a new "day"!

The mark of [Judgment]

Chapter 1 In conclusion, welcome to the start of a new "day" (4144)

[Ending: The Trumpet of Revelation, achieved]

[Entry: Record, in effect]

In conclusion, welcome to... a new "day"!

rustle……

It still sounded like pages turning, but this time the pages were turning faster, as if the "story" I had just read was so boring that I wanted to quickly move on.

"Pfft...cough cough cough..."

The intense urge to vomit and the feeling of being overwhelmed by a flood of memories made Xi Wang lean to the side and dry heave. It took her a while to calm herself down.

"I (swearing)...what was that just now? Am I back?"

After carefully examining himself, he found that he still had the body of a child, with no remaining wounds or special marks, and he didn't seem to have any special sensitivity to water...

"Okay, okay, I'm fine."

Xi Wang shrank back into a corner, still shaken, and began to adjust her breathing and calm herself down.

"What was that just now? Did I live another life? Or did memories from a parallel world come to me? No, no, no... I should have walked out, but I have no memory of what happened after that... So it really was a [life simulator], huh? And I came to the [Honkai] world, right... or rather, the previous civilization... This is really terrible."

Xi Wang covered her lips with her hand, curled up, frowned and stared ahead, while muttering to herself quickly to calm herself down.

"How did I become the [Herrscher of the End]... What is this...? That [Simulation] before was terrible!"

At this point, Xi Wang paused for a moment.

"It's a simulation... right?"

If that really happened... that's terrible, how could I have become like that?!

"No, no, no... it was a simulation, let's just treat it as a simulation. After all, I'm back now, which means none of this happened!"

With a casual swipe, I checked this "plugin" that belonged to me once again, confirming its format.

"Yes, that's right! Based on this layout, it must be [Life Simulator]! That's it!"

Xi Wang convinced herself of this.

"But this ending is just too terrible... [The Trumpet of Revelation], so it's the trumpet of doomsday, right? And [Gabriel]... What do you mean by destiny? [Gabriel] is destined to blow the trumpet of doomsday, right?"

Xi Wang stared at the last line of text on the event board, which represented the ending, and was speechless for a moment.

"Also... the [Record] entry is working normally, but the other one... is still not active."

Xi Wang pondered for a moment, then noticed that the [Event Board] seemed to be popping up something again... It seemed to be... [Achievements]?

………………

In this future, you have achieved the following:

[Wait and hold on to hope]: You have not been defeated by suffering, and no amount of pain has been able to overwhelm your spirit... Keep waiting with hope, and salvation will surely come.

[Abandoning "Hope"]: You have abandoned your original name because that "hope" has been shattered, and the original salvation... you no longer need.

【Poison Chrysalis Signboard】: You joined an assassin organization called 【Poison Chrysalis】 and became its "golden signboard", helping 【Poison Chrysalis】 to expand and transform.

【Fire Moth】: You have joined 【Fire Moth】 and become an excellent warrior.

【Heroic Warrior (Rank 14)】: You became a Fusion Warrior and one of the last 【Heroic Warriors Who Chase Fire】 to survive. At your own request, you were ranked 【14】.

[Mutual affection]: The person you like also likes you.

【Three people make a group】: Triangles are stable, and so are relationships...?

[Loves Ears]: You really like their ears... Is this some kind of new XP?

[Child of the Ocean]: You have become a child recognized and loved by the "ocean".

[Skadi]: You encountered a special orca Honkai Beast and named her "Skadi".

【Eat me, my “blood relative”】: Your “blood relative” has become one with you and has become your power.

[Your color? I like...]: You and Gretchen are very close.

【A Cage for One】: The entire “Deepest Place” is used to imprison only you.

【Precepts are useless】: Aponia has never been, and cannot, impose 【precepts】 on you.

【The Withered Cherry Blossom】: Witness the deaths of Sakura and Rin, and bury them.

【Flying Flowers' Yearning】: Alicia loves you, always has, but unfortunately, she "loves" humans.

【Honkai Apostle (Final Destination)】: You were chosen by the Honkai and became the 【Herrscher】 who destroyed civilization.

[The Cataclysmic Flood]: You summoned a devastating flood that destroyed civilization.

【The Horn of Doom】: You have revealed the true power of "Gabriel" and initiated the 【Final Judgment】.

[A promise is a promise]: You kept your promise to them.

[Regret]: There are too many things you couldn't change.

[Persist until hope arrives]: Until the very last moment, you continue to maintain your existence, simply because you promised her—you must persist, yes... persist, keep going, hope will eventually arrive.

………………

"Hmm... a brief summary of the simulation? It was alright..."

Xi Wang made this assessment of himself, but... his gaze lingered on the achievement of "regret" for a long time.

"...As expected, it's not good at all."

Too many things couldn't be changed, and the final outcome wasn't much better; in fact, it was worse... Sure enough, this simulation was a failure.

"Let's see what we can get this time... I remember the [Record] entry can be converted into other entries..."

Scrolling down further, Xiwang saw several new entries:

[Final Herrscher] (Gold): You were chosen by the Honkai and became the [Herrscher] who ultimately destroyed civilization.

Effect: Honkai energy adaptability is greatly improved, increasing the probability of becoming a [Herrscher]. Furthermore, if one becomes a [Herrscher], the probability of becoming the [Final Herrscher] is greatly increased.

"...6, so if I become a [Herrscher], then it will inevitably be the [End], right?"

Xi Wang's lips twitched slightly. The very first new entry had given him quite a shock... To be honest, the power he could wield after becoming a [Herrscher] was indeed very tempting, but... Herrschers of the previous civilization had no way to maintain their self-awareness, and he would most likely become [End]... It wouldn't be fun if he ended up directly becoming part of the program that destroyed civilization.

And to be honest, Xi Wang still cherishes her identity as a human being...
