Honkai Simulation, why is it always me who becomes the Herrscher

"Thank you," An Changye nodded thankfully and then spoke again.

"Have you figured out how to limit the Chang'an Melody? Want a suggestion?"

He chose to extend an olive branch, trying to secure some value for himself.

"The Chang'an Melody doesn't need to be limited."

Ye Chang'an still insisted on this idea.

"Indeed, it's humanity that should be limited."

An Changye nodded in agreement, but Ye Chang'an shook his head in refutation.

"No, there's something else that needs to be limited even more."

"Oh, so you've figured it out," An Changye looked at Ye Chang'an in surprise, only to be glared at by Ye Chang'an.

"If you hadn't messed things up back then, I would have figured it out much sooner."

Limiting the Chang'an Melody so humanity couldn't abuse Destruction; if you rephrase that, it becomes "Humanity will use the Chang'an Melody to achieve the abuse of Destruction."

Humanity is the subject, Chang'an Melody is the verb, and Destruction is the object.

Chi Yuan's suggestion to limit the Chang'an Melody was to change the verb, while An Changye's amplified extreme emotions limiting humanity was to change the subject.

There's also the object, "Destruction," which can be changed.

"Since you've figured it out, do you know what needs to be done?" An Changye asked with a smile, then saw Ye Chang'an extend his palm towards him.

"If you give me the Authority, I can do it."

The Arbiter of Void's Authority was in An Changye's hands, and Ye Chang'an couldn't use it yet.

This matter required the Authority of the Void.

"I can give it to you, but you can't exclude me from the plan."

"I want to participate in this plan."

An Changye set a condition, which confused Ye Chang'an.

"Why would you want to participate?"

"Because..." An Changye fell silent for a moment, looking out at the vast ocean of the Sea of Consciousness Space, his golden eyes seeming to pierce through the seawater to clarify the Path of the End that formed a giant opening.

"I want to break free from the Cocoon completely!"

He was born because of the Cocoon, died because of it, and was awakened by it.

He disliked this life dominated by the Cocoon.

So he wanted to rebel against the Cocoon and assist Ye Chang'an's plan by cutting off the Cocoon's energy source.

PS: I want to say something but I'm afraid of spoilers, so I'll just ask for votes O(∩_∩)O haha~

Song of Annihilation · Displaced Time: 8. S-rank Valkyrie? Let's kidnap her first.

After careful consideration, Ye Chang'an agreed to An Changye's participation.

However, to prevent him from causing trouble, he still locked An Changye in a confinement room, ensuring he could no longer influence his own thoughts and decisions.

This was a necessary measure because An Changye had not yet completely escaped the Cocoon's control.

"Hoo~ So this is the Authority of the Void, it doesn't feel very smooth to use."

Emerging from the depleted reactor, Ye Chang'an let out a long, relaxed sigh, his mind much clearer.

It seemed locking him away was quite effective.

Looking up at the Schicksal members hanging by chains, he pondered for a moment and decided to leave them there.

Following the sound of the violin back to the prison, he immediately saw Sirin happily playing on a box, a smile gracing his lips.

—Her life should have been this joyful.

He conjured a violin of his own and joined the ensemble at the right moment, making the music even more beautiful.

The girls noticed him, the new participant in their duet, and turned to look, then their expressions turned to panic and they quickly averted their gazes.

If not for the music soothing them, someone might have cried out.

Ye Chang'an's extreme actions before had left a bad impression on them; they were terrified.

—Sigh, it was bound to happen.

Ye Chang'an sighed, trying his best not to startle them, and continued to play with Sirin.

When the song ended, the girls applauded the performance, but all their applause was for Sirin.

These girls no longer dared to look at Ye Chang'an.

His first impression had branded him as dangerous.

But Sirin was an exception.

"Wow, Lord God, you're back."

Sirin called out in surprise, tossing her zither aside and rushing into Ye Chang'an's arms.

The violin dissipated in mid-air, and she lifted her small face, seeking praise.

"Heh heh, Lord God, I took very good care of them."

"Mm, you did wonderfully."

Ye Chang'an ruffled Sirin's purple hair with a smile, his gentle expression and the warm atmosphere piquing the girls' curiosity.

They didn't know if Ye Chang'an was good or bad, but they knew Sirin was good.

Anyone as close to Sirin as Ye Chang'an couldn't be a bad person, right?

"Si-Sirin, who, who is he?" one of the girls finally mustered the courage to ask.

"He's Lord God, a Lord God who is very, very good to Sirin." Sirin proudly introduced him, but conspicuously left out Ye Chang'an's name.

Ye Chang'an gave a wry smile and looked at the girls, speaking gently.

"Hello, I'm Chang'an. I'm sorry if what happened earlier scared you."

Roughing people up in front of children was indeed not the right thing to do, especially when he beat them half to death.

To express his apology, he gifted these girls brand new clothes.

Phantasmal garments appeared on them before transforming completely into real clothing.

This was a combined application of two Authorities.

Imaginary Transformation: Projecting objects from the imaginary space into the real space, where the projected objects could change freely according to the Arbiter's will.

Sirin had once used this move to project the Void Lance and defeat Theresa, but that was just the most basic application.

Ye Chang'an combined it with the Authority of Reason, allowing him to instantly conjure any projected object.

As a result, the girls all received beautiful new clothes, much to their astonishment.

"Wh-where did these clothes come from?"

"So magical."

They examined and felt the fabric, their faces full of surprise.

"Lord God, where are my clothes? I want some too." Sirin wasn't given any, and Sirin was unhappy.

"Don't worry, your clothes will take a little time." Ye Chang'an appeased her with a smile before creating a fitted dress for Sirin.

A white, short-sleeved dress with a purple overskirt, adorned with golden patterns on the hem.

This was Sirin's Arbiter armor form, and it suited her perfectly.

"Wow, they're so pretty, thank you, Lord God."

Sirin spun around happily, and the girls finally understood that this magical method originated from Ye Chang'an.

—Lord God... could he really be God?

—That's right, he must be God, and Sirin is an angel sent by him.

Deceived by their ignorance, the girls easily accepted the relationship of God and angel.

Then, they started crying with joy.

"Ah, this..." Ye Chang'an didn't understand why they were crying and naturally didn't know how to stop them.

So, he chose to play music, recreating numerous instruments to perform a symphony for the girls.

He wiped away their tears one by one and then released the other experimental subjects who had been imprisoned in the cells.

Thousands of girls gained their freedom today, but what would happen after today?

They were all orphans.

"...Sirin, go reunite with your mother," Ye Chang'an had long thought of this.

"Mhm, mhm." Sirin nodded repeatedly, full of anticipation.

"Let's go, bring them along too."

Ye Chang'an nodded and then began preparing transportation.

But as they were starting to move, Schicksal's Valkyries arrived.

"Your Excellency Bishop, we have an urgent message from Babylon Laboratory."

At Schicksal Headquarters, Otto Apocalypse, immersed in the data space, was interrupted by an external communication.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Babylon Laboratory has been occupied. Here is the footage from the time."

The video was transmitted, and Otto opened it, his pupils constricting.

The screen showed Ye Chang'an climbing a tower and capturing people. The chains that materialized out of thin air and were controlled with such ease were very familiar to Otto.

"The First Arbiter."

"No, that's impossible. The First Arbiter is already dead."

He doubted it, he didn't believe it, and he continued to watch.

Until he finally saw Ye Chang'an jump into the reactor, absorb all the Destruction energy, stay for a period of time, and then bizarrely disappear, reappearing outside the reactor.

"This child... is the Second Arbiter?"

"But how can he use the First Arbiter's power?"

Otto couldn't figure it out, and there was something else he couldn't figure out.

The way Ye Chang'an used the First Arbiter's power seemed different from what he knew.

"No, this isn't important."

He shook his head, settling on what he deemed most important at that moment.

"Notify the S-rank Valkyries. Head to Babylon Laboratory immediately."

"Target: Apprehend the Second Arbiter."

He had to capture Ye Chang'an as quickly as possible and couldn't let Ye Chang'an cause a major disturbance.

Thus, two of Schicksal's S-rank Valkyries immediately boarded a plane and set off, coincidentally encountering Ye Chang'an, who was arranging for the girls to get into a car.

"This... Theresa, didn't the Bishop say the Second Arbiter was here?" Cecilia couldn't tell who the Arbiter was.

Theresa couldn't tell either.

But soon, they recognized the Second Arbiter.

This was because Ye Chang'an had also brought out the Schicksal members who were bound by chains.
