On how PhDs become human evil

Kiana - Herrscher of the Void Form!

The people present weren't too surprised by Kiana's posture, since they had already seen Kiana in her Herrscher form and knew that Kiana was beginning to accept her Herrscher power. The only thing they felt was that Kiana's power was increasing a bit too quickly.

Kiana, now transformed into the Herrscher, had a slight tremor in her eyes. Ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding space, and then a circle of light, as tall as a person, appeared in the middle of everyone.

This is the door to the imaginary space.

"So, we—"

Just as Bai Jie was about to say, "Let's go," a strong warning suddenly rose in his heart. His human instinct for evil told him that there was a very bad situation on the other side of the Gate of Imaginary Numbers, and that he would definitely suffer if he went in rashly!

(Ah, it was probably the Honkai Will that made the preparations. That makes sense; that guy has been watching me the whole time. When he heard me say I was going to save Himeko, he must have done a lot of work in the Imaginary Dimension.)

Slightly annoyed, Bai Jie scratched his head and gave everyone a helpless smile: "Sorry everyone, it seems I'll have to go to the Imaginary Space alone."

"Huh?"

Everyone was taken aback.

“What do you mean, Fafnir?” Durandal was the first to ask. “Are you saying that our strength is insufficient to enter the imaginary space?”

"Hmm...that's definitely true."

As Bai Jie spoke, he spread out his hands and unfurled a magic circle. The magic circle, which was originally white, immediately turned blood red as it approached the Gate of Imaginary Numbers.

"This is a spell for locating enemies. It changes color according to the danger level of the surrounding environment. It's blood red now, which means that the situation in the imaginary space is very dangerous for me. I can't risk taking you there."

"But you went there alone... Won't something happen to you? You finally got back."

"Relax, relax, I'm someone who can still jump around even if my head is blown off and my heart is crushed. I'm truly immortal. The person who can kill me hasn't been born yet."

Human evil, the true ancestral beast, the evil of this world, the divine power of the god-killer.

When it comes to methods of resurrection, Bai Jie has countless options. Unless he really wants to die, there's really no one who can kill him.

Moreover, Bai Jie did not believe that there was any opponent in this corrupted world who could defeat him, unless the Honkai Will, like last time, extracted the concepts of all monsters from the world's mythology and created a second World Beast to deal with him.

Even so, Bai Jie still didn't think he would lose. Compared to then, he was much stronger.

"But...."

"Brother (Lord Fafnir)!"

Durandal wanted to say something more, but Rita and Kiana interrupted her at the same time.

Rita and Kiana exchanged a glance and laughed simultaneously, then looked at Bai Jie:

"Be careful on the road." ×2

Just like a wife giving instructions to her husband before he leaves home, the two of them said this to Bai Jie with slight smiles.

"Okay, don't worry about it, just leave it to me. Make sure you cook something and wait for Himeko and me to come back."

In response to their concern, Bai Jie gave them a reassuring remark, then put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and lightly stepped into the Gate of Imaginary Numbers in front of him. His relaxed demeanor made one wonder if he was about to go shopping.

"Buzz!"

The moment Bai Jie entered the Gate of Imaginary Numbers, the gate immediately closed. Rita and Kiana raised their hands simultaneously, but then lowered them at the same time.

(Please be careful, Lord Fafnir.)

(Bro, if you don't come back, I'll make you regret it!)

P.S.: Guys, I'm totally devastated. I thought with my Guard Curse buff, pulling for Blaze shouldn't be a problem, but getting Skyfire from the pity pull made me panic. And then, on my second rainbow pull after Skyfire, I got excited, only to find it was Hoshiguma... Damn it! And that Greythroat... it looks like a lower-tier Exusiai to me, the skills are almost identical. Even a global sniper would be better than this.

Section 428, Chapter 11: The Beasts' Declaration of War Against Collapse

In the purple sky, endless Honkai Beasts roared and howled, with tens of thousands of Emperor-level Honkai Beasts lined up at the forefront like leaders of their races.

Floating on the ruins in space, the black-clad assassins wielded long swords, drew bows and arrows, or brandished sharp claws; their terrifying killing intent almost materialized.

This was the first scene Bai Jie saw after entering the imaginary space. The second time he saw it, he saw a dozen or so figures floating not far behind the Honkai beast horde and the army of assassins.

They were young girls, each appearing to be around twenty years old. There were Black, Asian, and Caucasian girls. Judging from their clothing, these girls came from different regions and countries. Upon first seeing these girls, Bai Jie felt a strong sense of familiarity.

That was the same aura as Kiana and Bronya.

In other words, all of those dozen or so girls over there are Herrschers!

A dozen or so Herrschers, an endless stream of Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors.

This is already enough combat power to completely crush the real world, and the reason why such a large-scale operation appeared in the imaginary space is only to target Bai Jie alone.

"This is quite a grand operation. You're really willing to go to great lengths to deal with me, Honkai Will."

[With you as my opponent, no amount of caution is excessive. To be honest, I even feel that this level of preparation is still insufficient. If I could, I would really like to prepare hundreds of Herrschers, but unfortunately, even I cannot do that.]

The voice of the Will of Collapse rang out in the Imaginary Space. Judging from its tone, it seemed to be extremely wary of Bai Jie's strength.

With a wry smile, Bai Jie said, "I'm just here to find someone, not to have a final showdown with you. Is it really necessary to make such a murderous scene?"

Is this the person you're looking for?

As the voice of the Honkai Will faded, a Herrscher stepped out from behind the dozen or so girls. Because she had been blocked earlier, Bai Jie hadn't noticed her presence immediately.

Only after walking out did Bai Jie get a clear look at the Herrscher's face.

"...So you were turned into a Herrscher by the Honkai, Himeko?" Bai Jie's expression was rather grim.

The Herrscher who emerged was none other than Himeko Murata, Bai Jie's target for this trip.

[She was my Herrscher of Flame in the previous era, and it's quite interesting that she's become a Herrscher again in this era. Also, I think you're quite familiar with her; the Catalysis process was just completed.]

Spatial fluctuations appeared behind him. Bai Jie turned around and looked at them, his bitter smile becoming even more pronounced.

"Ah, I never thought I'd see you again, especially in this situation and in this capacity—you damn old man."

Looking at the white hair tied in a ponytail and the blue trench coat, as well as the face that he had once beaten so badly, Bai Jie uttered bitter words.

Siegfried Kaslana.

Speaking of which, you and he once put on a beautiful show of fatherly love and filial piety. Let me see it again.

Just as the Will of Honkai said, Bai Jie had once been quite "filial" in Changkong City, beating Siegfried half to death. I never expected it to happen again now.

"hehe...."

Bai Jie suddenly laughed, his chilling laughter echoing through the imaginary space, adding a touch of coldness to the already tense atmosphere.

Brushing aside his bangs to reveal eyes that were now gleaming with crimson light, Bai Jie raised his left hand, and jet-black lightning burst forth from his palm, forming a bolt of lightning as thick as a giant python.

"Hey Honkai, aren't you getting a little too cocky?"

Bai Jie, who said this with a cold laugh, grasped the pitch-black lightning. At the same time, four-colored light shone in his left hand. Amidst the roars of dragons and tigers, the cries of phoenixes and the howls of turtles, the four-colored light gradually formed a slender shape in Bai Jie's hand.

"You think a mere million Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors, plus a dozen or so Herrschers, can do anything to me?"

boom!

Lightning exploded! Radiance scattered!

The pitch-black God-Slaying Spear and the gleaming Four Divine Swords were held in Bai Jie's hands. Magic power, enough to rival a world, erupted from Bai Jie like lava spewing from a volcano!

The imaginary space trembled violently, and countless dark cracks appeared within it. In another world, Bai Jie's magic, which had caused the entire Underworld to collapse, was simply too much pressure for the imaginary space to withstand!

Then, Bai Jieyong began chanting the Word of Power—

"I am the strongest, and I hold all victory in my hands. Whether human or demon—I will crush any enemy who stands in my way! O bull with shining golden horns, grant me aid!"

Top ten incarnations·Bull!

"Fear those who possess wings! Evil and powerful alike fear me, who possesses wings! My wings will bring you curses! Evil cannot strike me!"

The Ten Incarnations of the Phoenix!

"All wicked ones, fear my power! Now I will possess the majesty of ten mountains, the strength of a hundred rivers, and the might of a thousand camels! Mighty me will raise the mark of a fierce camel!"

The Ten Incarnations - Camel!

"Guardian of the righteous, I invite and dedicate myself to you. Guardian of the righteous, I praise you and make my wishes to you. You who uphold the sky and expand the earth, you who grant victory and grace, I will act with justice, please grant me the right path and the light! With the power of words, I will punish the unjust and the evil! This is the heavenly law of victory!"

Ten Incarnations - Goat!

"I have awakened as the Demon King, bearing the name of a ferocious beast. I will explore the abyss of demonic cultivation and pursue infinite wisdom. Beginning with natural disasters, I will bathe humanity in evil and forge the throne of god-slaying. I shall become infinite evil. With eternal darkness, I will illuminate the light of humanity!"

The Holy Lance of Twilight - Forbidden Hand - The Black Saint Demon King Who Severs the World!

"Arrive immediately! All the familiars of the Fourth Ancestor!"

All nine shikigami talismans flew out and transformed into nine familiars behind Bai Jie. The magic power surpassing that of the dragon vein burst forth from the nine familiars, causing the space to tremble further.

The power of God, the forbidden hand of God's destruction, and familiar beasts.

This is absolutely the strongest state that Bai Jie can achieve on his own. His aura has been strengthened to an unbelievable degree, almost turning Bai Jie into a Super Saiyan. If we convert it into rough data, Bai Jie's current combat power is more than five times that of Beast Emperor 666 back then!

"Honkai, well, I'm a little angry right now."

Bai Jie's voice was calm, a calmness that sent chills down one's spine.

"You casually turned my colleague into a Herrscher, and casually dumped this bastard in front of me... Stepping on my landmines time and time again, do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"

Bai Jie rarely gets angry. Bearing all the evil in humanity, he is a collection of negative emotions, making it almost impossible for him to lose his temper.

The only exception is when someone touches his sore spot.

Bai Jie originally intended to kill the Herrscher of the End and be done with it. He had already interfered too much in this world and shouldn't continue to interfere. However, looking at Himeko and Siegfried, who had been transformed into Herrschers by the Honkai, Bai Jie felt that it was still necessary for him to continue to interfere a little.

Himeko Murata was his colleague, his sister and wife's teacher and benefactor, and Bai Jie himself had received a lot of help from her.

Siegfried is Bai Jie's adoptive father. Although Bai Jie has long since kicked him out of his heart and has nothing to say to this heartless man who abandoned his wife and children, it doesn't mean he will sit idly by and watch Siegfried be controlled by the Honkai. The people of Kaslana should never become slaves of the Honkai!

Therefore, Bai Jie was furious, genuinely furious!

"Come on, Honkai, this time I will truly—kill you!"

This time, the beasts of humanity once again declare war on the collapsing will!
