Collapse, it turns out I'm not the only one simulating

[You have gained the power of the Herrscher,

Black Tiger Afu gave a thumbs-down.]

[From today on, the world of consciousness and dreams will become your territory]

[Your consciousness is being cleansed by imaginary energy, and you are becoming stronger because of it]

[The malice of the collapse towards civilization began to erode your consciousness, but because your will was too dark and firm, it did not tear your personality apart.]

[Your new boss is very pleased with your sensible behavior. He gives you a buff and kicks you back to the real world.]

[You have mastered the ability 'Virtual-Realistic Conversion']

The deep and dangerous imaginary space disappeared from her sight, and the ruined Changkong City and her own body parts scattered on the ground became the main subject in An Lan's eyes.

In front of him, a girl full of sorrow and despair knelt on the bloody ground, and no one was allowed to enter.

But... this does not include An Lan.

Conversion between virtual and real.

Through this ability, invisible consciousnesses gain the power to contact the real world.

From behind, his not-so-warm hands wrapped around the girl's waist, and he whispered in her ear, "Mei, I'm back."

Chapter 37: I can tell at a glance that you are not human

These arms were not warm, but rather filled with a coldness that did not belong to the living.

But at this moment...

"An Lan...is that you?"

The girl's voice was trembling with hope in her eyes.

She didn't dare turn her head, fearing that everything she heard and touched was just her imagination.

At this moment, Mei Raiden let go of all her defenses against the existence behind her, allowing An Lan's power to invade her body and cut off her connection with the Conquest Gem.

The destructive energy flowing from the imaginary space into the real space was slowed down, and the great collapse occurring in Changkong City seemed to have gained a respite.

[You used your ability to cut off the connection between Raiden Mei and the Conquest Gem]

[You choose the Conquest Gem as your anchor in the real world]

[The great collapse that is happening in Changkong City has been given a respite because of your actions, but you know this is only temporary.]

[Changkong City is like a collapsing dam. It has been eroded by the Honkai energy spread by Cocolia. You can stop it for a while with the power of the Herrscher, but you can no longer repair the dam full of cracks.]

[And... as long as Cocolia is still alive in this world, she will not give up coveting Raiden Mei and give up her crazy and twisted plan.]

[The desire to kill is rising. The destructive impulse in your body is out of control because of the name of Cocolia. You have an urge to destroy everything in your sight.]

[In the face of the collapse, your life, which is less than 1/2500 of Afu's, is not worth mentioning. You cannot eliminate the destructive impulse that the collapse has given you.]

[The clash between desire and rational will has painted a turbid color on your personality. You are faced with a choice of humanity...]

[1. Do nothing and overcome everything with your own will]

[2. Cocolia, it's all your fault]

[3. The world is filthy again]

"..."

Doing nothing would be too shameless and not his style; but killing everyone would be too cruel.

so......

Cocolia, please sacrifice yourself for the sake of world peace.

[——Kill Cocolia]

You made this decision

[In order to find an outlet for your destructive impulse, you specifically picked an unlucky guy]

"Sorry, Mei, I have to leave you for a while."

Letting go of Mei Raiden's waist, the young man walked in front of Kiana, looking no different from himself when he was alive, except that his eyes had turned into a gorgeous scarlet color.

"Kiana, have you seen Bronya?"

......

"..."

Now Kiana just wants to curse.

When I first saw him, I thought he was a friend who would save the world with me. When I saw him again, he was a Thunder Bluff Warrior who flashed and stole my home. When I saw him for the third time, he transformed into a Herrscher who could destroy the world.

Looking at those scarlet eyes that exuded a bewitching charm, Kiana felt the malice from the world.

Raiden Mei is a Herrscher (×)

Except me, everyone else is a Herr (√)

How can I save the world with these guys?

I'm so tired, I can't love anymore, let's just start this round.

When you are undecided, take a nap first, and then take another nap if you still can’t make up your mind.

Open.

Kiana enabled hosting, and her character shook her head and responded: "I don't know where the dwarf is now."

This is the truth.

With the authority of "consciousness" in her hands, An Lan easily discerned the truth of Kiana's words.

In this game, the relationship between her and Bronya is limited to their one previous meeting, and they don't have much intersection.

Naturally, she had no idea where Bronya was now.

But...it doesn't matter.

In Changkong City where there are few living people, the radiance of consciousness of the living is as obvious as a torch in a snowy night in front of the Ruler of Knowledge.

It's not difficult to find a specific person.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

As soon as the words fell, An Lan's figure faded and disappeared, like a dream bubble gone with the wind.

next moment......

"Dear Miss Bronya, can you tell me where your mother is?"

Somewhere in Changkong City, the young man who suddenly appeared here brought an unparalleled sense of threat to the silver-gray-haired Duck.

In those eerie scarlet eyes, the destructive urge that could destroy the world almost overflowed like a substance.

In reality...

The silver-gray Roman curls swayed back and forth with the girl's movements. The girl, who had to use an exoskeleton to stand on the ground, looked at the text and pictures that kept scrolling and refreshing on her retina with an expressionless face.

[You witnessed the collapse of Changkong City]

[In front of your eyes, a huge number of Honkai beasts descend from the imaginary space, and innocent people are dying]

[You know, the crazy plan promoted by your adoptive mother Cocolia has begun, and these are the consequences she caused]

[In order to save your sister from the quantum sea, she chose to kill more people in exchange for a possibility that she didn’t know if it could be realized]

[You feel that you have been deceived. She clearly promised you that only a few people would be hurt. But now Changkong City has exposed the woman's lies in front of you. She never cared about the lives of innocent people from the beginning.]

[You feel regret. You regret why you didn't stop this woman earlier.]

[But you can't do anything. You can only watch the collapse bring death to this city.]

[When you are feeling sad, a man suddenly appears in front of you...]

"Dear Miss Bronya, can you tell me where your mother is?"

The scarlet eyes exuded a bewitching charm. The familiar yet unfamiliar man crossed a long distance in a very short time and appeared in front of Bronya from the imaginary space.

Heartbeat, body temperature, weight...

Not all.

This guy...is not human.

[You realize that the guy in front of you is a monster and very dangerous]

[1. Monster, eat my heavy-duty rabbit wheel]

[2. Onii-chan, Bronya has neither a father nor a mother (ruthless reading)]

[3. Find a watch and ask him to bring it to his old mother]

"..."

There was a flash of thought in those silver-grey eyes.

Three options: resistance, concealment, and obedience...

The corresponding result should be life-threatening, being severely beaten, and having to sacrifice to the gods with the elderly mother at home.

Subconsciously, Bronya's slender fingers were already approaching the third option.

To be honest, if Cocolia is really as crazy as this simulator shows, then it might be a good choice for everyone to just sacrifice her.

No more people will be hurt because of her, and what is left to them is not the image of a madman, but a motherly love that is somewhat incomplete and distorted but still maintains its general appearance.

but......

The girl's finger moved up and selected the first option.

In reality, she has not experienced so much, and cannot empathize with her other self, and can abandon Cocolia's life without hesitation.

What makes us human is that we have wisdom and emotions.

She is not able to be so heartless now.

[Faced with a sudden threat, you chose to resist]

Chapter 38 Entering Cocolia...

"Reload Bunny, FIRE!!!"

Give an order.

The quantized Stand user was unquantized, and his tall figure exuded a cold color in the sunlight.

Raise your arm, extract the Honkai energy, and fire the cannon.

boom--! ! !

With smooth movements, a shell as powerful as a missile was fired instantly and rushed towards the man's chest at an extremely fast speed.

Merciless, without blood or tears, the girl who issued the cruel order had no guilt at all for taking a life. There was only coldness on her face.

There is no doubt that if An Lan was still in flesh and blood, the only way for him to be broken into pieces evenly again in front of this weapon from the previous civilization.

but......

"Bronya, you seem a little too naughty."

[He did not resist and let the hot shell pass through his chest, but he was not hurt at all]

[He is indeed not a human, but a Herrscher. Even the weapons from the previous civilization that your sister gave you cannot hurt him at all.]

[You realize the unbridgeable power gap between you]

You gave up resistance

"Bronya lost. No matter what you do, I will not resist."

The silent, expressionless and rich loli was right in front of him. Her stand user had given up attacking after missing the first strike.

Now, no matter what An Lan wants to do to Bronya, she will not refuse.

Her silver-gray eyes were as calm as her expression. She seemed to have accepted her fate. Even if she was tied up and hung like a turtle, she was ready to accept it.
