Honkai Simulator: Not for Kidnapping Herrschers!

Kevin, clad in his training attire, spoke with a blank expression. "It's just a 30-kilometer obstacle course. Not giving you any extra weight is already being considerate."

He continued, "When the First Research Institute negotiated with the First Squad, they mentioned that your body was injected with a special potion, allowing them to fully exploit your potential."

Chen Ran: "..."

Without a doubt, the kindhearted Blanca wouldn't have negotiated like this. That left only one conclusion: it had to be Mobius.

"Alright."

He was actually quite curious about the effects of the potion Mobius had injected.

Admittedly, Mobius's ethical boundaries were a bit more flexible than others', but conversely, she wasn't someone who would intentionally cause harm within another person's body.

She wasn't a mad scientist who enjoyed toying with human experimentation, nor did she use knowledge and information asymmetry to intimidate people.

From beginning to end, Mobius's biological experiments were all geared towards her goal: bringing evolution to humanity.

This was also why Chen Ran could confidently lie on Mobius's experimental table. Mobius took every experiment seriously and was extremely rigorous with herself.

The potion's effects were even better than he had imagined.

For a long time, he had relied on simulations to improve his physique and Honkai Energy adaptability. Although this allowed him to exert greater strength than ordinary people, there was still a gap compared to the Warriors of the Flame-Chaser.

After all, the Flame-Chaser Warriors were also taking enhancers daily. The biological products from the previous civilization were no less effective than the System's.

However, things were different now.

The potion designed to activate Honkai memories perfectly activated his Honkai Energy compatibility, and it was also compatible with the System.

The concrete result was: his back no longer hurt, his legs felt fine, and he could successfully complete a 30-kilometer run in one go.

While it was true that humanity wasn't lacking in experts who could run 30 kilometers, what if that time was compressed to within three hours?

"Not bad."

Kevin glanced at Chen Ran, and a sense of admiration welled up within him.

He and Chen Ran had joined the Flame-Chaser at the same time. Back then, Chen Ran had only displayed the capabilities of an ordinary person. But now, he had already reached the level of an excellent frontline warrior.

Weapons and combat techniques could be learned, but physical fitness would always be the standard for judging a warrior's talent.

One could only say that the Flame-Chaser lived up to its name, and the First Research Institute certainly had its reasons for being the first.

"You haven't reached your limit yet. Let's try adding some weight next."

For the next period, Chen Ran endured suffering, being repeatedly put through the wringer.

Like iron ore, only by continuously removing impurities could it become good raw material.

However, whether it was due to Mobius's potion or the effects of his previous medication, even with the full training load, he never suffered a muscle strain, no matter how exhausted he was.

He didn't even get cramps.

At the end of each day's training, Blanca would personally come to conduct a physical examination, and all the data would be provided to Mobius.

This routine lasted for two weeks.

He had also gradually adapted to life in the Flame-Chaser. Besides being part of the First Squad, he was often pulled by Vill-V to work in the engineering department.

The Abyss had been dealt with, but that didn't mean Vill-V was free. On the contrary, her work involved weapons, materials, Honkai core research, and Honkai beast skeletons.

This made Vill-V exclaim that she had been tricked.

His responsibility was to explain the commonalities of materials to Vill-V. Because of the fluid knowledge instilled by the System, both of them approached weapon upgrades from the perspective of fluids.

Neither of them mentioned that day's incident. Chen Ran was too shy and guilty, while Vill-V was nonchalant.

Just as Chen Ran felt that after two weeks, he had adapted to the Flame-Chaser's rhythm and could try simulations again, a new mission arrived.

Or rather, a new emergency.

[Emergency Alert! Emergency Alert! Strong precursors of Honkai Energy fluctuations have been detected in South America, expected to radiate throughout the entire region. The United Nations has issued an evacuation order for local residents. Flame-Chaser members are requested to assist in handling the situation.]

Hurricanes tore through the sky, shattered streets, and devoured buildings.

An armored youth stood atop the tallest building in the city. A few kilometers ahead of him, a vortex formed by the storm was rapidly moving in his direction.

Days ago, the residents here had been evacuated under vague disaster warnings. This once densely populated city had become a ghost town.

The youth clenched his fists, as if that could suppress the trembling in his body.

Even so, he held his head high, staring intently at the colossal beast that was relentlessly charging towards him.

He was waiting.

When the vortex rolled to his feet, he would leap into the eye of the storm. That was the core of the disaster, the origin of all misfortune.

He had to destroy it.

The youth closed his eyes, simulating every step of his battle with the hurricane's core in his mind: the storm would tear his body apart, erase his existence, and he would destroy the storm's power source before his life force extinguished.

When it was all over, perhaps someone would lay a bouquet of flowers at his grave. But more likely, he would disappear from this world without a trace, just like all the missing persons swallowed by the wind, and like the land where he was born and raised.

But he had no regrets.

The eye of the storm was rapidly approaching, and the boy tensed his body.

There was only one chance!

"Three, two, one," he counted silently in his mind, "Jump!"

His slender body was instantly swallowed by the gale. The hurricane tore at his clothes and skin.

Gritting his teeth, the boy threw an explosive into the eye of the storm.

If he could destroy the power source there, everything would end—

But in the next instant, the boy's blood ran cold.

The center of the storm was empty.

The wind didn't subside. It engulfed the boy, threatening to crush every bone in his body.

Suddenly, his body shot upwards, flung away from the storm. A tall figure stood before him.

It was a young man with white hair, no older than the boy himself.

He held a firearm, facing the storm with an unyielding stance, like an unmovable javelin.

"Who are you?"

Cosmo rasped, his voice torn apart by the wind.

"Why is there a civilian here, and a child at that?" Kevin frowned. "Listen, if you don't want to die, run. The Fourth Herrscher is coming soon. There's a shelter 30 kilometers east of the city. Get there immediately!"

Not far away, Chen Ran, covered in dust, spat out sand. "Kevin, don't just stand there. The Fourth Herrscher is too fast, I can't find her!"

PS. A parallel Earth was about to be invaded, and Zhi Jiu was pulled in to be the savior. But upon closer inspection, it was just an ordinary world of youth and daily life, and he was powerless.

Only then did he suddenly realize that several protagonists from youth daily life series could be married into.

Strange viewing videos from various worlds began to play on Earth and in different dimensions.

Hachiman Hikigaya: "I will always protect you, Emilia—you are the true thing I've been searching for!"

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji: "Choose, do you want this stick or that stick?"

Miyuki Shirogane: "Your circumstances cannot hide your sins, ah, Kikyo... fall into hell, Spider Demon!"

After watching the videos, everyone looked back and saw that countless other worlds, under the prayers of the heroines in the videos, began to merge with this ordinary Earth.

Years later, the invaders began to descend.

Invaders: "???"

Multiverse, Starting with Hachiman Hikigaya Replacing Subaru Natsuki!

The book I've been studying, worth reading 13

Chapter 57: Gale and Gale

Four months after the Third Honkai War, the Fourth Honkai War broke out.

This Honkai outbreak was completely unexpected. Apart from satellites detecting the precursor signs of rising Honkai Energy concentration, there were no other reactions.

Fortunately, thanks to the early detection, South America was prepared to respond.

The radiation capabilities of a large-scale Honkai were terrifying. Everyone was either forced to evacuate or had a slim chance of survival by seeking shelter deep underground.

The rescue mission was not the responsibility of the Flame-Chaser. Kevin and Chen Ran were here bearing the mission to fight.

To battle the newly born Herrscher.

And the main force to deal with this Herrscher was the First Squad, or more accurately, Kevin and Chen Ran.

Kevin was recommended by MEI, and Chen Ran was recommended by Mobius.

Of course, for the safety of these two, the First Squad specifically invited Elysia as a backup. Elysia had experience dealing with the Second Herrscher, which served as an extra layer of insurance for their lives.

This was a trial.

And a battle.

Chen Ran glanced at Cosmo and said, "Hey, you should find a place to hide. Honkai is not a joke."

Cosmo subconsciously looked at Kevin.

"Herrscher? What's that?"

"The source of all disasters. Every attack she makes creates these wind masses," Kevin answered without reservation.

"Every... attack?"

Cosmo repeated, his teeth chattering. He couldn't believe that the storm that had nearly killed him was merely the product of a casual attack.

His teeth gnashed together. Fear prevented him from even imagining how powerful the 'Herrscher' the young man spoke of would be.

It was despair born from an absolute power gap.

"Evacuate as quickly as possible, don't get any closer to the wind vortex."

Kevin reminded him.

He urged Cosmo to leave quickly.

The boy was silent for a moment, then shouted with all his might, "Please let me stay! I can be your assistant!"

He didn't understand where this sudden courage came from, but a voice in his heart told him he had to keep up with the young man, or he would regret it for the rest of his life.

The young man turned his head slightly and looked at him.

His gaze froze the boy in place.

It was the look of someone determined to die, and also the look of someone about to conquer everything.

"Your name is Cosmo, isn't it?" The young man's eyes glanced at his name tag.

"Alright, then do me a favor, a favor only you can do," he said. "You're a great guy, so..."

"Live, okay?"

Chen Ran, standing nearby, clicked his tongue in amazement.

Just as expected from the Kiana template, he'd already gained a little fanboy this quickly.

However, now wasn't the time to be talking about that.

The two of them, carrying weapons, cleared the surrounding Honkai beasts and Meele. Chen Ran quipped, "That Herrscher was too fast. I could have gotten close to her, but you saw the result. I was swept up by the wind, did three and a half twists in the air, and the ending was quite brutal."

He still had the energy to joke.

Kevin said calmly, "At least you're not injured. Eating a bit of dirt is nothing."

"That won't do. When has Chen Ran ever suffered such indignities? I have to get my revenge!"

In reality, his fight with the Herrscher wasn't as lighthearted as he made it sound.
