On how PhDs become human evil

"Not to mention the Herrschers, no one has even seen a shadow of a Honkai Beast, and even Anti-Entropy, which manages North America, hasn't reacted," Durandal said. "Rita did consider sending someone to investigate, but considering that we are also in a precarious situation, she eventually put it aside."

A month ago, in North America, chaos reigned, entropy reversed, and there were no Herrschers.

With these keywords lingering in his mind, Bai Jie gestured for Yulandal to stop, and then a crimson gleam appeared in his eyes.

Although not a Heroic Spirit, Byakuya is a Grand Catser-level magician, so he naturally possesses the standard EX Clairvoyance. Like the Clairvoyance of the other three, Byakuya's Clairvoyance has a similar function.

Parallel world observation.

This is Bai Jie's ability of seeing far and wide, which allows him to see the current world and the scenes of various parallel worlds. What Bai Jie is seeing now is the scene inside the bubble of other worlds.

(Although they are not the same world, since they are parallel worlds, their historical development is roughly the same. If this world collapses, then other world bubbles should also collapse.)

With this in mind, Bai Jie found a nearby parallel world and set the observation timeline to the most recent month.

Then Bai Jie witnessed Bronya, who had merged with the power of the Herrscher of Reason, leaping into the Sea of ​​Quanta.

(So ​​you've become the new Herrscher of Reason, Bronya? That means I don't need to worry about you anymore.)

Now that Bronya has become a Herrscher, her life is safe. After all, as long as she doesn't encounter opponents like Kevin, Fu Hua, or Bai Jie whose strength is obviously off the charts, Herrschers can do whatever they want.

After learning about what happened in North America, Bai Jie decided not to continue using his clairvoyance. Although it was a map-wide cheat, constantly receiving a large amount of information from parallel worlds was quite mentally taxing.

I was wondering who was spying on the Sea of ​​Quanta, and it turns out it was you again.

Just as Bai Jie was about to withdraw his clairvoyance, a neutral voice, neither male nor female, suddenly rang in his mind.

Bai Jie wasn't unfamiliar with this voice; a few years ago, he had fought to the death with the owner of the voice. Moreover, Bai Jie knew that besides the World Serpent, only that one person would pay attention to the Quantum Sea.

"The Will of Honkai, huh? It's been a while since I've seen it."

If I could, I wouldn't want to see you at all. Thanks to you, my world is almost a mess.

"The Will of Honkai said irritably."

Since magic was popularized by Bai Jie in another world, other worlds have also been influenced by magic and have begun to vigorously develop magical civilizations, achieving great results in the battle against the Honkai.

To be honest, the Honkai Will is a bit angry. Its world was developing perfectly well, but then suddenly Bai Jie appeared and swayed the entire world's direction. And that's not all; because of the development of magic, the Root of the Type-Moon world sent someone over, saying they wanted to discuss copyright issues.

Damn! Your people brought the technology here! Why are you asking me for royalties?!

And why do you have to send an envoy who's practically your doppelganger just to discuss copyright issues?! That woman called Root-type almost scared it to death when she opened her eyes!

Therefore, the Honkai Will has absolutely no goodwill towards Bai Jie, the source of all evil who spread magic. If it could, it would really like to rub Bai Jie in every way possible. But Bai Jie was able to fight the Herrschers like elite monsters so many years ago, let alone now.

It hates it to death, but it can't beat it. What can the Honkai Will do? It can only turn a blind eye to it. But Bai Jie seems to be particularly fond of this world. Every now and then, he runs over here, causes a big commotion, and then simply leaves. This makes the Honkai Will extremely upset!

This is not your playground!

Just now, the Honkai Will sensed that someone was spying on the Sea of ​​Quanta. Because Bronya, an important being, was still in the Sea of ​​Quanta, the Honkai Will was somewhat sensitive to changes in the Sea of ​​Quanta, so it followed the spy's gaze in the opposite direction to find the spy.

Then it saw Bai Jie.

Hey there, you're not coming back to wreak havoc on the house again, are you?

"What demolition? I'm not from the demolition office. I just came back to clean up my old friend's mess and bring my prospective wife home. Look how scared you are."

Bai Jie said very kindly.

"Hey Honkai Will, we've been dealing with each other for a while now, so why don't you stop sending Herrschers into this world? They'll just be free kills anyway."

【….】

Hearing Bai Jie speak of his capable subordinates as worthless, the Honkai Will felt a sharp pain in its heart—don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're strong!

Section 420, Part 4: I love Fu Hua's ink-wash style!

However, as heartbroken as it may be, the Honkai Will takes the matter of Honkai very seriously, after all, this is its basic development path, and it is impossible for it to change it.

【O beast, you must know that collapse is inevitable. I've ignored it once, but I can't ignore it a second time.】

Back in another parallel world, the Honkai Will had already tolerated Bai Jie once, allowing this foreigner from the future to develop rampantly in that world. In its view, no matter how much Bai Jie acted up, he would eventually be suppressed in the face of more than a dozen Herrschers and the World Beast, which was born by extracting the concepts of monsters from all the myths in the world.

As for the final outcome, just look at how the world next door has developed. Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent stand as a three-way power protecting the world, and they've even created Azur Lane. As for the Honkai Will, I reckon in a few decades, they'll be heading in the direction of Star Wars.

Now, although Bai Jie did not say to stop the Honkai, he did say to stop releasing the Herrschers. What is the difference between this and stopping the Honkai?

The Will of Honkai acknowledges that Bai Jie is strong, but that is by no means a reason for him to act recklessly in its world!

[You know that the Honkai can't be stopped. Even if I stop it, the world's basic functions will continue to deteriorate. Give up this unrealistic delusion.]

"Oh, never mind then. Anyway, I'll take on any Herrscher or anything that comes my way, and you can't beat me anyway."

Honkai Will: While that's true, can you please stop making it sound like I'm weak? And your tone is really irritating!

[Don't think you have victory in the bag, you beast. I have thoroughly analyzed your power. The next Herrscher to appear will be your absolute nemesis, and your prized magic will be completely useless.]

"Oh ho? Then I'd like to see what kind of Herrscher you're going to unleash."

Since the Honkai Will has made such a tough statement, Bai Jie has no intention of backing down. Since he wants to fight against the Honkai, eliminating the Herrschers is a must. In fact, Bai Jie hopes that the Honkai Will will arrange a few incredibly powerful Herrschers for him.

The Honkai Will, seeing Bai Jie's confidence, didn't bother arguing with him anymore and simply cut off the communication.

Opening his eyes, Bai Jie looked at Yulan Dale: "Sorry, an old friend is looking for me. Where were we?"

"The Collapse of North America." Although she was very curious about who Bai Jie's old friend was, her instincts told Durandal that it was best not to ask, or her worldview might be shattered.

——————————————————————————————

"Ugh! I'm so angry! What's with that jerk's attitude? Just because he can fight doesn't mean he's all that great!"

The God Realm—let's call this space for now, since the Will of Honkai can be considered a god.

After losing communication with Bai Jie, the Honkai Will grew angrier and angrier. Every time it thought about Bai Jie's arrogant attitude of being the most powerful and invincible, it got furious!

"Just you wait, you beast! The Herrscher I've prepared for you this time is the Herrscher of the End, equipped with the [Anti-Magic Domain] skill! I refuse to believe you can withstand an attack powerful enough to destroy the earth's surface without using any magic!"

It has to be said that the Honkai Will's plan was very well executed. Eighty percent of Bai Jie's strength is related to magic. By restricting his magic, his strength will definitely plummet. And obviously, Bai Jie, suppressed by the anti-magic field, cannot stop the Herrscher of the End, who can destroy the surface of the earth.

"No, wait a minute, it seems that my enemies are not just the beast alone. We also need to be wary of the others."

The Honkai Will hasn't forgotten about the World Serpent group, especially their leader, Kevin. Fifty thousand years ago, his full-force attack could stop the Herrscher of the End from functioning for twelve hours. Fifty thousand years later, the Honkai Will estimates that even if he can't reach the Herrscher of the End's strength, he can at least go toe-to-toe with her.

Currently, in the eyes of the Honkai Will, the enemy's combat power is mainly composed of three parts: Bai Jie 95%, Kevin 3%, and the rest 2%.

Although Bai Jie, who poses the greatest threat, already has a countermeasure, others cannot afford to be complacent.

With that thought in mind, the Honkai Will initiated contact with a debt collector: "Hey! Gaia and Alaya?"

[What's up? Got money to pay off your debts? Hand over the copyright fees!]

"Get lost! It was one of your people who came here! I haven't even reported you for causing trouble on my side yet!" the Honkai Will said irritably. "Let's get down to business. That beast has come here to cause trouble again. As the person in charge, shouldn't you send some people over to discipline it?"

He went there again? He must really like your world.

"I have a few potential wives for him, how could he not be eager to come? — In short, whether you help or not, you'll benefit after it's done. Haven't you always wanted to collaborate with me?"

Wow! You're really willing to spend a fortune. Fine, seeing how sincere you are, we'll send a diplomatic ambassador over; he's an expert at dealing with human evil.

"Experts? Human evil is something similar to the Herrscher of the End on your side, right? How can there be experts to deal with this?"

"Yes, they've already subdued two human evils over there, so their abilities are definitely sufficient."

"I can rest assured that."

After hanging up the phone, the Honkai Will clenched its little fists: "Beast! Let's see how you jump this time! I'm not the Honkai Will if I don't beat you into begging for mercy!"

In the Temple of Time, Fujimaru Ritsuka was playing video games in her room. She had bought a lot of games during the Steam Autumn Sale but hadn't played them yet.

"Ugh! Why is it exile ending again?! Are these fools out of their minds?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka punched the computer screen through the entire screen.

Frostpunk, that's the game Fujimaru Ritsuka just played. It's a post-apocalyptic survival management game. The plot is roughly that one day London was buried by a massive blizzard, and the survivors came to a place similar to an energy station to build a new home. The player takes on the role of the home manager.

Because Chaldea has many kings, Fujimaru Ritsuka has learned a lot about management methods and the art of emperors. She thought she could easily pass the test, but reality gave her a harsh slap in the face.

"I've worked so hard to ensure these guys have food, clothing, and shelter, all I did was sign a child labor law, why are they so dissatisfied so quickly? And why build a cemetery in a post-apocalyptic world?! Do I have so many resources I don't know what to do with them?!"

In just one afternoon, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already experienced two exiles and one overthrow of a tyrannical regime, which had dampened the spirits of this optimistic and cheerful young girl.

"Dulu lulu lulu!"

A special ringtone for JoJo fans suddenly rang from Fujimaru Ritsuka's phone. Pulling her hand away from the computer screen, Fujimaru Ritsuka answered the phone and said irritably, "Hello? Who is this?"

"Little Gudako, we have a mission!" Gaia and Alaya's voices rang out.

"...I remember I just cleaned up the mess of a subspecies Holy Grail War for you guys last week, and now you've got trouble again in less than a week? How much trouble can you cause?"

"No, no, this is a request from another world. There's a being that's similar to human evil. You, as the expert, can go and handle it. I promise you'll get a paid long vacation after this mission, the kind that lasts a year."

A year of paid vacation?!

Fujimaru Ritsuka's bad mood, caused by Frostpunk, immediately improved. It seems that these two big bosses still have some conscience after all.

But... is humanity evil?

(Could it be Senior Bai Jie...? If we really run into him, then it's game over.)

P.S.: The new Fu Hua has been released, and I'm absolutely in love! How can this woman be so cool?! As a Fu Hua fan, I'm going to explode with joy! Plus, with the New Year's S-rank Valkyrie selection... I can already picture five Fu Huas surrounding me!

P.S.: Arknights Chapter 6 main story is about to be released. I originally thought Blaze would be a 6-star Specialist, but she's a Guard again. Is this really confirming Arknights is Guard-based? Also, SilverAsh's outfit is so cool, I love it!

Section 421.5. Steam, you've screwed me over!

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was wondering if the human evil Gaia wanted her to deal with was Bai Jie, Bai Jie, far away in the Honkai world, found himself in a slightly troublesome situation.

Because the layout was completely copied from the original Fafnir house, Rita and her friends' detached villa only had three rooms. Rita lived in one room, Durandal lived in another, and the third bedroom was used as a storage room to accommodate extra clutter.

So here's the problem: Bai Jie has finally come back, we can't just let him sleep outside, with the sky as his blanket and the ground as his bed. But if we let Bai Jie move in, then who he'll live with is another problem.

“I don’t mind sharing a bedroom with Lord Fafnir,” Rita laughed. “I often slept with Lord Fafnir when he was a child, so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.”

“But Rita, aren’t you afraid Fafnir might do something to you? A man and a woman living together…” Durandal asked worriedly.

This is a perfectly reasonable reason. When it comes to the charm of a woman, Rita has already maxed out her charm level. If she were to walk around, she could automatically activate the chain-loading machines of a bunch of men. Her destructive power is absolutely top-notch.
