I am a Herrscher of Ice, and I am loved by players.

Gao Ge said helplessly, feeling a little emotional when looking at the barrage. Times have really changed. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and Honkai Impact 3rd is very different from what it was back then.

As far as he is concerned, he actually still prefers the previous version and likes the previous plot more. In fact, it’s not that he likes the plot, but that he likes the feeling. Now, when he plays Honkai Impact 3rd, it feels a bit different and he doesn’t have that much enthusiasm anymore.

On the contrary, he is enjoying playing Genshin Impact now. Of course, these are all normal phenomena. It can only be said that, relatively speaking, Honkai Impact 3rd is indeed in decline, which is unavoidable.

Such as the delay in releasing new armor for old characters, old characters not being able to play on the field, krypton fraud and stat inflation, as well as more and more weather in the Abyss.

To be fair, the plot design of the latter screenwriter is actually better than the original, but the environment of Honkai Impact 3rd in the past is not comparable to that of today.

In the ancient version, characters could kill people in the abyss with just some egg pool equipment, and even some ancient egg pools can still be used. But now, each character needs exclusive stigmata and special weapons, and each one needs to be a fully armed Trisolaran.

I like this game, but I like the characters even more. Those old armors and old characters are just proof of the past. They are just placed in the warehouse and are completely useless, not to mention for those civilian players.

However, for Gao Ge, no matter how Honkai Impact 3rd changes, he has poured a lot of emotions into this game and will not give up. He will continue to play this game. This is actually the voice of most captains.

The planners really disgusted them, and they did choose to give up, but they would not leave just like that. The reason they stayed here was because of these characters they liked.

..........

Collapse world, Central Europe.

After leaving Taixu Mountain, Bai Zhi came here without stopping. Soon, she arrived in front of a secret laboratory. This was Anna's "legacy" and it was also a laboratory that Anna secretly invested and built here as the head of the Shanniyat family.

As for the direction of research...to be honest, Bai Zhi doesn't quite know.

As for the laboratory here, she simply chose to leave it alone and handed it over entirely to Dr. Machi, the grandfather doctor who was rescued in the Moon Shadow chapter and who developed a potion to fight the Honkai.

Anna's departure did not have any impact on this industry, because it was actually independent of Destiny, but protected by both Destiny and the snake. After Anna reached an agreement with the Gray Snake, this place is now completely protected in secret by the Gray Snake.

As a subordinate, Gray Snake was extremely reliable and loyal. At least, he worked hard on this matter. Although there was a short gap, Anna's industry was not affected at all.

Bai Zhi passed through each checkpoint with ease and entered the laboratory. Waiting for her was a heroic red-haired woman - Wuliangta Jizi.

After seeing Bai Zhi's figure, Ji Zi was briefly stunned at first, then she suddenly realized and the expression on her face relaxed.

"You are indeed not dead."

Bai Zhi was not at all surprised that Ji Zi recognized her identity, because the process and procedures that Bai Zhi followed to enter this place were only known to Anna.

Although Anna did not expect such a result, it can be said that she did something unexpected and it paid off.

"I will not die easily before I make this world what I want it to be. But now, I finally have the power to do so."

Ji Zi raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't quite understand what Bai Zhi meant, but by feeling the aura of Bai Zhi and combining it with the previous news of Anna's death, Ji Zi could feel that Anna must have some kind of fortune that she couldn't imagine.

However, Ji Zi was not jealous, she just felt distressed.

She could imagine the price Anna paid for this. Perhaps she had really died once.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to be so sad. Although it's a small price to pay, it's all what you deserve. Besides, Ji Zi, I have something I need you to do now. After all, it's not convenient for me to show up."

Bai Zhi said casually, and then smiled and said with a smile.

"Haha, it's hard to imagine that you actually need me. Tell me, I will do my best."

Ji Zi suppressed her original emotions and said with a smile.

However, Bai Zhi's next words were something Ji Zi could never have imagined.

"I hope you can become the Herrscher of Fire."

"Herrscher of Fire?"

Ji Zi's pupils shrank. She was not unfamiliar with the power of the Herrscher of Fire. In a sense, she had indeed become the Herrscher of Fire, but for a very short period of time. And now, Bai Zhi asked her to become the Herrscher of Fire.

As for the Herrscher itself, Ji Zi could no longer be said to be very averse to it. Three of her students had already become Herrschers. No, four students, and one of them was Fu Hua.

Then, her colleague Anna had also become a Herrscher, so Jizi no longer had any aversion to the Herrscher itself.

However, if she were really asked to become a Herrscher, she would still be hesitant and somewhat confused.

Moreover, she couldn't imagine how Anna could do all this.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer too much, and you don't need to bear the influence of the Honkai Will. You just need to pass the small test I set for you, and then you can become the Herrscher of Flame. At that time, you will still be yourself, but you will have enough power to protect the people you want to protect."

Bai Zhi explained seriously that letting Ji Zi become the Herrscher of Fire was Anna's idea all along.

She is fully qualified to be the Herrscher of Flame. Besides, doesn't Sister Jizi deserve a set of real Herrscher armor? As for the kryptonian scam...

It doesn't matter. When the time comes, I'll let Lao Mi give one to each of them, and then give them a special weapon and a sacred mark of their choice. Will the captains have any objections? Definitely not!

Players don’t really mind if characters are released quickly. What they mind is the difficulty of graduation and the lack of crystal supply channels. If the cost can be reduced, players will naturally be satisfied. In addition, the sentiment is also maximized.

However, in this case, the intensity needs to be controlled. We can't let Himeko, the Herrscher of Fire, snatch the exclusive spot from the protagonist Kiana.

"how?"

Bai Zhi chuckled. In Anna's opinion, Ji Zi had no reason to refuse such a statement.

"Then can I protect you?"

"Uh... But, I don't need protection now, right?"

Bai Zhi blinked and chuckled, "You're just kidding. The power was given by her, so she needed someone to protect her." However, she also understood Ji Zi's true thoughts.

I can only say, Sister Jizi, you are thoughtful! However, you only need to follow my wishes and protect your lovely students.

"Is that so... Then I... naturally accept it."

After saying that, Ji Zi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

She is the Valkyrie of destiny, always fighting on the front line. Not to mention what she is like in other worlds, but in this world, she is a Valkyrie, she belongs to the battlefield, she longs to return to the battlefield and fight, but for Anna, she did not do so, but followed Anna's arrangements.

And now, she has the chance to return to the battlefield, protect her students again, and fulfill her duties as a Valkyrie. How could she give up this opportunity?

Valkyrie Stormtroopers...but they never back down!

"As expected of you, then, shall I begin?"

As Bai Zhi finished her words, a milky white halo emanated from her body and enveloped Ji Zi. Ji Zi subconsciously closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already above the starry sky, and in the starry sky, He was perched there. In front of her, Anna, wearing a starry dress, was standing there, and in her eyes was a sea of ​​stars.

Seeing Anna in front of her and Him behind her, Ji Zi also understood something.

"I see."

"This is just the first step, whether it's for me, for humanity, or for Honkai."

Anna said calmly, which also dispelled Ji Zi's fantasy.

"Then, please accept the trial from the end! I believe that you can pass it!"

..........

Volume 1: Chapter 146——The Ruler of Three Thousand People, Anna’s Layout!

In Anna's opinion, the test of the Honkai selection is actually similar to the inner demon tribulation in the prehistoric novels of the previous life.

However, to be fair, Ji Zi actually does not need to go through any tests. Whether it is her body or her will, she is qualified to be chosen as the Herrscher.

But due to the rules, Anna still gave this test, and the object of this test was the Herrscher of Fire of the previous civilization, another reincarnation of Ji Zi.

During the trial, Himiko will experience the past of Himiko, and finally, she will complete a battle between Herrschers with Himiko and finally become the Herrscher of Fire.

This is the script Anna wrote for Himeko.

She doesn't want the power of the Herrscher to be obtained too easily. Even if there is an ambition for everyone to be a Herrscher, if the existence of the Herrscher allows evil people to achieve it, then it will be a blow to the world.

Therefore, this test is necessary both morally and logically, and it is a good start.

As for the world of collapse...

Anna turned her gaze towards the world of collapse, and then set her sights on another Herrscher who was about to be born - the Herrscher of a Thousand, also known as the Herrscher of Domination.

"A thousand Herrschers... Each Herrscher is extremely weak as an individual, but if they gather together, they can become a dominant Herrscher that can take away the power of other Herrschers."

"This seems to sound like an out-and-out villain."

"but........."

Anna's eyes shone with light.

She wanted to change the script of this farce. There were a thousand Rulers of the Thousand. Why were all of them evil? Why couldn't one person achieve Nirvana and turn the so-called mob into an elite army of justice?

This world is indeed not beautiful, but turning the world into what everyone expects it to be is not just the task of the protagonists, Destiny, Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent, but also the mission of countless ordinary people.

The Herrscher of a Thousands can allow every individual to gain the power of the Herrscher and cause a wide range of destructive effects.

A group of weak people gather together for warmth, while a group of strong people gather together to form a strong alliance. It can allow the emergence of a mob and make the mob strong, but there must never be no army of justice.

so.........

Anna raised her hand and let the power sweep over the earth. This time, she wanted to create more Herrschers of a Thousand. She wanted the number of Herrschers to reach three thousand. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. So, what kind of power can three thousand people unleash?

Moreover, when the mob becomes strong enough, will these weak people who form the mob have their own will and cause themselves to split?

Most importantly, Anna hopes that there will be a Herrscher of Thousands who can become the Herrscher of Men. After all, there are always some ordinary people who walk alone in the darkness and still have light in their hearts.

In addition, the Herrscher of the Thousand is also an opportunity for Anna's plan. It is an opportunity to enhance the Honkai energy in a legitimate way.

The next time I have such an opportunity, I'm afraid it will be to witness Otto's end.

As for the so-called "playing too hard", that simply does not exist. The most essential difference between Anna and Otto is that Anna really has absolute power to back herself up.

Not to mention Ji Zi who is undergoing the trial.

How could two Herrschers of Fire lose against the more powerful Herrschers of Thousands? The inheritance of the flame, the master and the apprentice... this is a full range of ties!

Not to mention, on Earth, there is Bai Zhi's clone to provide further protection.

In addition, Kevin is not going to sit idly by. At worst, Anna can just overturn the table and end the game. Therefore, all of this is under Anna's control.

There is absolutely no possibility of a second collapse, unless...

Unless the existence behind the Cocoon of the End doesn't want to watch anymore and leaves directly, then Anna really can only admit defeat. Of course, anyone can only admit defeat, so just pretend it doesn't exist.

Moreover, you don’t really think that Bai Zhi’s appearance in Taixu Mountain is just to recruit Xiao Shi. More importantly, this actually reveals a message that there will be changes in the Herrschers. It is normal for the number of Herrschers of a Thousand to exceed one thousand.

The significance of Anna's move is to make the three major organizations make corresponding preparations.

Compared with Xiaoshi walking in the mortal world, the existence of the Herrscher of a Thousands is more effective. As for Xiaoshi... unless Xiaoshi chooses to directly modify the consciousness of ordinary people, he may really be no better than a Herrscher or a puppet hidden in the crowd.

"However, the biggest problem now is whether it is necessary for me to choose someone to become the Herrscher of the Thousand."

Anna pondered.

The Herrscher of the Thousands, whether they are puppets transformed into a mob or the elite division as Anna envisioned, both humans and puppets have the characteristics of assimilation and domination.

Negative emotions are extremely contagious, but optimistic and positive emotions do not have such a big effect, especially in the current era of rampant collapse, negative emotions are an unchangeable theme.

If it weren't for the fact that the three major organizations, Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, have control and influence over the world that is greater than that of the Fire Moth in the previous civilization period, it might be difficult to feel positive emotions now.

That is to say, even the most basic soil may be lost.

However, after some thought, Anna gave up the possibility of letting Bai Zhi gain the power of domination. This was unnecessary. Bai Zhi was no different from her. If Bai Zhi appeared too often, others would sooner or later discover something unusual.

However, in this case, who should be chosen to become the core mother Herrscher of the elite army of thousands of Herrschers?

Anna has the right to directly designate, but she is really troubled in choosing this candidate. This requires too much from the mother. The person must be optimistic, determined, and finally have certain strength.

In this way, even if the elite division does not have enough Herrschers, it will not be directly swallowed up and assimilated by the mob. At least it must have a certain resistance effect, otherwise it will be meaningless.

So, Anna turned her attention to the world of Honkai again, and soon, her eyes lit up and she found the candidate she needed. She was the rich woman among the Destiny Valkyries, the slightly confused one among the Valkyries, the dancer who liked to imagine and pair up with Mary Sue - Susanna.

Just by taking a look at her, Anna chose her.

She had a deep impression of this Valkyrie. Before, she had unconsciously served as a wingman for herself and Yulandel and had played a role in the previous operation in London.

In short, she was a Valkyrie who had shown her face in front of the captains and left some impression. In addition to her identity as a Valkyrie, she was also a princess from a wealthy family. Her identity, her character, and her efforts all meant that she could withstand the power of the Herrscher of a Thousand and resist assimilation.

Otherwise, she would have been lost among the many Valkyries of Destiny. It is worth mentioning that Susanna has been promoted to the Undying Blade team as an exception.

In terms of strength, she is now an A-level Valkyrie and deserves the title of an elite army.

There's no way. For someone like Rita, she doesn't have the qualifications to be a Herrscher. Otherwise, as Anna's relative, Anna would definitely give Rita the entire core.

Unfortunately, Rita's physique is not up to par at all.

...........

In the collapsed world, the plot has entered the short and warm daily life after a long absence, although everyone understands that this is just the calm before the storm.

Bai Zhi's figure disappeared without a trace, along with Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi's whereabouts could occasionally be noticed under the surveillance of Anti-Entropy and Tianming, but Bai Zhi seemed to have completely evaporated from the face of the earth. However, if Bai Zhi was the World Snake, it could be explained.

Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent have no connection at all, and it can even be said that they are somewhat opposed to each other. Although Destiny and the World Serpent cooperate, the degree of cooperation is not high.
