On how PhDs become human evil

This time I will kill you for real, Honkai.

As soon as Bai Jie said that, the Honkai Will knew that there was nothing more to say between them. It directly severed its connection with the Imaginary Space and, before leaving, gave the same command to all the Honkai Beasts, Death Knights, and Herrschers present.

—Kill Bai Jie!

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

A burst of deep purple lightning erupted, and among the dozen or so girls, one of the Herrschers flew out. Judging from the lightning wrapped around her, she should be the newly born Herrscher of Lightning.

The Lightning Spear rapidly took shape in the Herrscher of Thunder's hands, but before she could throw it at Bai Jie, a roar blasted her away!

"Roar!"

The golden roar of the lion transformed into a railgun, converting a large amount of electrical energy into heat and kinetic energy. The scorching golden aurora seemed to split the imaginary space in two, like a wolf among sheep, directly tearing the Honkai beast horde apart from the very middle!

Lightning crackled in mid-air, and an empty path appeared in front of Bai Jie. The Honkai Beasts and zombies that had blocked Bai Jie's path were all blasted to pieces by the Railgun!

"There's a lot of trash here. You guys should go do a thorough cleaning."

Bai Jie gave orders to the familiars behind him.

"Don't hold back. This time, I'll let you make a scene. The more you make a scene, the better."

"""""OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! ! """"""

The nine familiars immediately let out an extremely excited roar. For these familiars whose mission was destruction, nothing was more exciting and joyful than destruction, mischief, and chaos!

In the next instant, the lightning lion, the scarlet unicorn, the two-headed dragon, the scorpion tiger, the bull-headed god, the divine sheep, the beetle, the black sword, and the water demon—nine familiars—left behind Bai Jie like wild horses and rushed towards the Honkai beasts and zombies that filled the imaginary space. They even set their sights on some of the Herrschers!

"Boom—!"

A burst of dazzling lightning erupted.

"Buzz!"

The crimson vibrations caused a storm.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Minotaur's battle axe struck the ruins with tremendous force.

"boom!"

The black sword's strike shattered the space itself!

.......

Despite having only nine familiars, the Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors that were fighting against them were in an indescribable state of defeat. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were collapsing like a house of cards. The black and white color that almost occupied the entire imaginary space was fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"GGGGGGYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The wails of Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors echoed in every corner of the Imaginary Space. Honkai Beasts of the Assault, Chariot, and Knight classes were instantly crushed before the Fourth Progenitor's Familiars, unable to even put up a fight. Even the Honkai Emperor could only barely hold on for two or three seconds before being torn apart.

Ignoring the Honkai Beasts being ravaged below, Bai Jie focused his gaze on the dozen or so Herrschers. The Herrscher of Thunder, who had just been blasted away by the Lion Gold, was now getting back to her feet with the help of another Herrscher.

"monster...."

Seeing their subordinates being crushed, every Herrscher's gaze towards Bai Jie completely changed. Just moments ago, they were proud of being God's apostles, but now they felt only fear towards Bai Jie.

"Haha, that's really impressive. Should I run away first to avoid getting beaten up again?"

“That’s true. I don’t think Dr. Fafnir is a good man who would cherish women.”

However, two people showed no signs of nervousness and instead burst out laughing.

Looking at Himeko and Siegfried, Bai Jie sighed: "Himeko, I promised Kiana and the others that I would bring you back, but looking at you like this, I have no choice but to kill you this time."

"Well, that makes sense. Even if I didn't want to do anything to you, the Honkai would control me to do it anyway." Himeko was quite philosophical about it. "Anyway, we're both about to die, so it doesn't really matter if we actually die."

"I will revive you, I promise." Bai Jie said with certainty, then he looked at Siegfried, "As for the bastards here, don't worry, I will cut you to the point that even the Honkai cannot save you."

Siegfried's face immediately darkened: "I'm telling you, Fafnir, we're father and son, so don't be so cruel to me. Besides, you've already brought Kiana home, so I'm practically your father-in-law now. Be a little more lenient with me."

"Go to hell."

Completely unwilling to waste any more words with Siegfried, Bai Jie directly swung the Holy Lance. The pitch-black spear light, like a meteor tearing through the sky, struck Siegfried's face at true light speed, blasting him into a floating ruin not far away.

"Crackling and popping!"

The roar of lightning rang out above Bai Jie's head. The Herrscher of Thunder and the Herrscher of Wind appeared above Bai Jie's head at the same time. The storm and lightning that could destroy New Zealand were gathered into a lightning tornado and rushed towards Bai Jie directly below!

Not even bothering to glance at it, Bai Jie raised his divine sword, summoned the Azure Dragon Soul, and unleashed a slash!

"Sizzle—!"

One day, the Azure Dragon roars!

A thousand-foot-long azure dragon swept across, its unstoppable sword light cleaving the lightning tornado in two. The Herrscher of Thunder and Herrscher of Wind who launched the attack were also cut in half at the same time, their bodies below the chest completely obliterated by the sword light!

"Boom!"

With a powerful stomp of his right foot, Bai Jie instantly traversed nearly a thousand meters, appearing directly before the Herrschers, his divine sword ablaze with golden-red divine flames—

Seven Star Vermilion Bird Feather!

Seven sword energies flew out from the divine sword, directly condensing into seven golden-red sparrow flame stars, which exploded at point-blank range in front of the Herrschers!

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, and scorching divine flames swept across the imaginary space, dragging all the Herrschers into a sea of ​​golden-red fire!

"Aaaaaaah!"

The Herrschers let out a collective wail, and on the side, Himeko Murata, acting on her Herrscher instincts, was about to urge herself to go up and dispel the flames, but before she could act, Bai Jie had already pointed the Holy Lance at her.

"Buzz!"

Countless mysterious magic runes surrounded Himeko like a caged bird in a mere second, and then exploded like bombs!

Amidst thick smoke, Himeko, whose body was severely burned, fell from the black smoke.

"Is 10,000 [Explosive] Runes a bit too much for Himeko? But it's fine, it saves me from having to finish her off."

Thinking this, Bai Jie looked at the few remaining Herrschers who had just escaped from the sea of ​​fire, spread his hands, and unfolded a magic circle the size of a football field. Terrifying magical fluctuations were released from the magic circle.

"Alright, goodbye everyone."

A destructive white light burst forth from the magic circle!

Section 430, Chapter 13: The aftermath is a troublesome task.

How many techniques does Bai Jie actually know?

Even if Bai Jie himself were to answer this question, he wouldn't be able to. The wisdom rooted in the entire Type-Moon universe, combined with all the wisdom within the World Tree of Norse mythology, meant that the number of spells stored in Bai Jie's mind was simply countless. If one were to consider the possibilities of combinations between various spells, then it would truly be endless.

In daily life or combat, Bai Jie usually randomly selects spells that are suitable for the situation and improvises to make them into completely new spells before using them.

In other words, every technique Bai Jie uses is a unique technique he created.

This is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying ability, but when applied to Bai Jie, it seems so normal.

Simply knowing many spells is not enough to be called a true Magic King. Only by freely controlling spells and making the power of magic follow one's own will can one be called a Magic King.

However, Bai Jie now feels that his ability seems to have caused trouble.

Looking at the magic circle in front of him, which was the size of a football field, Bai Jie scratched his head in distress: "Oh no, I've messed up, I've messed up. Now the real world will probably suffer too."

Because it was a magic circle created hastily in a fit of rage, Bai Jie incorporated almost all the destructive spells in his mind into it during its creation.

Conceptual collapse, soul destruction, matter decomposition, impact enhancement, magic enhancement, destruction concept addition... basically, it's just a relentless stacking of buffs, wholeheartedly pursuing the maximization of firepower, which is why the size of the magic circle has expanded to the same level as a football field.

With such a horrific alteration, Bai Jie didn't bother to consider the power of the new destruction magic and launched it at the Herrschers the moment it took shape.

The result was naturally pleasing. All the Herrschers were completely devoured by the white light of destruction, their bodies and souls were completely destroyed, and even their concept of existence was erased by Bai Jie. They could not be resurrected even if they wanted to.

However, after destroying the Herrscher, the power of the Annihilation White Light did not completely disappear. Instead, it continued to bombard the depths of the Imaginary Space. Because it incorporated the concept collapse technique, its destructive power against the Imaginary Space, which has a strong [concept], was no less than the destructive power of Samael's poison against dragons.

Therefore, the imaginary space was pierced. In a physical sense, space itself was torn apart like paper without any resistance. From the crack, Bai Jie could even see the scenery of the real world.

"Hmm... It hit right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, destroying quite a few uninhabited islands. Although it caused a massive tsunami, thankfully it didn't affect any inhabited areas. Thank goodness."

Thinking this way, Bai Jie completely ignored how drastically the ocean currents would change after that attack, and how badly the seabed topography would be destroyed. It's likely that for at least the next five hundred years, the world's ocean environment will be in a state of chaos.

However, considering the consequences if it had hit a human settlement, this outcome is already quite good.

(I hope it didn't penetrate the Earth's crust; causing crustal movement would be disastrous.)

Bai Jie wiped away non-existent cold sweat, and then more than a dozen silver magic circles reappeared around him. At the same time, he waved his fingers to draw runes in the air, beginning to reconstruct the existence of the imaginary space.

However, although it is called reconstruction, all Bai Jie did was to reverse the time of the imaginary space back to before he destroyed it. Fortunately, the time that needed to be reversed was only one or two minutes, which was not very serious.

"Coming immediately, Familiar Number Eleven, Water Spirit White Steel."

Bai Jie summoned back one of his nine familiars, a water demon corresponding to Aquarius, with the upper body of a beautiful woman, the lower body of a giant blue-white snake, and long hair composed of countless snakes.

Mobilizing the vast magical power within his body, Bai Jie poured it all into the Water Essence White Steel body, instantly causing towering waves to surge within the imaginary space, even beginning to transform into a boundless ocean.

Rewinding time by one or two minutes is not difficult, but the imaginary space is simply too vast. No matter how strong Bai Jie is, he is still just a person. The Water Spirit White Steel happens to be a familiar that can rewind time over a large area. So Bai Jie only needs to pour all his magic power into it to rewind time. As for himself, he only needs to supply magic power and further reinforce the space after the time rewind is over.

"Oh, right, we can't forget about Himeko."

Bai Jie used his mental power to scan the surrounding space and easily found Himeko, who had been attacked to the point of near death and had fallen into the imaginary space once again. He then reached out and grabbed her from thousands of meters away, bringing her back to his side.

"Huh? He's not completely dead yet? Is the Herrscher core keeping him alive?"

Bai Jie was somewhat surprised, then raised his hand and cast several mixed healing spells, directly restoring Himeko's body to its peak condition. He even replenished her life force, which had been greatly reduced due to the transplantation of the Stigmata. Incidentally, he also took the core of the Herrscher of Flame that the Honkai Will had given her and allowed it to merge into Himeko's body.

Why not take a free Herrscher? Bai Jie already has the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of Void, and the former Herrscher of Thunder, so adding another Herrscher of Flame won't hurt.

"Hmm... I'm not dead yet?"

"Nonsense, would you die if I were around?"

Looking at Bai Jie's face so close to hers, the clever Himeko immediately understood the situation: "What you said before about being able to revive me was actually true!?"

"if not."

Bai Jie rolled his eyes. So she really didn't believe he had a great resurrection spell? Did she really think his title of Magic King was just something he picked up off the street?

"I'm repairing the imaginary space right now, it'll take some time. You can find somewhere nearby to rest for a while, and familiarize yourself with the power of the Herrscher of Flame—I snatched the core that Honkai gave you."

Himeko was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing Bai Jie's words.

They stole the Herrscher Core? What kind of move is this? Bai Jie, you can actually steal things from the Honkai Will?!
