Divine Fire Sacred Judgment, he was familiar with this.

Kill one thousand enemies, lose eight hundred yourself!

After losing health, you can unleash a powerful attack.

'System, won't this thing just get rid of me?'

[Replying to Host, your current physique upon Stellaris Liberation is fully capable of withstanding the negative effects of Divine Fire Sacred Judgment.]

Yan Huan pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

As long as it didn't get rid of him.

He really didn't have any decent weapons right now, so this was a huge help.

As he was thinking this, the doors of the elevator slowly opened.

March 7th and Yan Huan walked out and headed straight for Herta's office.

As soon as they entered, they heard Herta's complaining voice.

"Ms. Yan Huan, do you know how late you are?"

Yan Huan, upon hearing this, took out a gilded pocket watch from his pocket and looked closely:

"Oh my, I'm five minutes early."

Herta: "..."

March 7th went up to Yan Huan and found that although the pocket watch was ornate, its hands weren't moving at all.

March 7th: "..."

"Never mind," Herta waved her hand. "I knew you wouldn't come on time, which is why I told you the test was in the morning."

"Actually, you really were five minutes early."

Yan Huan: "..."

In the end, Herta was still one step ahead, causing Yan Huan's eyes under his sunglasses to go blank.

He stared blankly at Herta in front of him:

"Can't people be a little more sincere with each other!"

Herta retorted, "How can I assume your race?"

Yan Huan: "..."

As expected, five minutes later, the others slowly walked into the office.

Station Master Asta, Arlan, and even Dan Heng.

March 7th's pink and blue eyes widened:

"Wait, Dan Heng?"

"Yes," Dan Heng nodded, his hands clasped. "I'm here to help."

"Then why didn't you tell us the real time?"

"Oh, because I also felt that Miss Herta's arrangements were very suitable. So, sorry."

March 7th: "..."

Good grief, so it was just her and Yan Huan, along with the off-duty staff, who were early.

At the very front, there was a faintly glowing data array. Herta walked over to it, turned around, and said to Yan Huan:

"Come over here, just stand in it, and it will upload your consciousness data to the Simulated Universe."

"No, what if my legs get tired from standing?" Yan Huan frowned.

Hearing this, Herta looked at Asta beside her.

Asta was startled for a moment, then looked at Arlan beside her and raised an eyebrow.

Arlan blinked his eyes: "..."

Then, he silently moved a chair and placed it in the center of the data array.

Herta beckoned:

"Alright, hurry up!"

"Wait," March 7th stopped Yan Huan.

"What's wrong?" Yan Huan asked, confused.

"When it comes to Aeons, you need to be cautious. Even simulated Aeons in the Simulated Universe are not to be trifled with," March 7th said seriously.

She had heard enough from Himeko and Welt about Aeons. Even if they were just simulations, they weren't completely controllable.

"Mm, I understand, I'll be careful."

"Good that you know," March 7th patted Yan Huan's shoulder and pushed him forward.

Sitting down on the chair, surrounded by the sparkling, glowing array, Yan Huan suddenly felt a very strange sensation.

Is this the entrance to the Simulated Universe?

As expected of a masterpiece jointly created by several members of the Genius Society, it certainly has its merits.

Herta glanced at Yan Huan and slowly spoke:

"In the Simulated Universe, you might experience many events, and combat is unavoidable. However, our ultimate goal is to attract the virtual Aeons within. Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood."

"During this time, you can choose the Paths of some Aeons to take with you, disguising yourself as other Aeons. This will increase the success rate of approaching those virtual Aeons."

"Awesome, awesome."

"Because you possess a Stellaron within your body, you are the most suitable candidate. This exploration of the Simulated Universe will also be broadcast on the public screens throughout the space station for more people to observe."

"OK, OK."

Herta: "..."

"Alright, now close your eyes and begin."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan silently closed his eyes.

The mysterious data array also began to glow faintly. As time passed, the light grew more intense and brighter.

At the same time, on the public screens across the space station, colorful images began to flicker.

"Here they come, Brother Huan is starting!"

"By the way, I heard that besides a holiday, everyone also got a pay raise today. Is that true?"

"Of course, it's true! Lord Herta is happy and said all of us are getting triple pay today!"

"Awesome, watching TV while getting paid!"

"Look, there's an image on the screen."

After a burst of black and white static, Yan Huan's figure appeared on the screen.

At this moment, he was standing on a city street, surrounded by a large number of Troopers.

Those Troopers were wandering aimlessly. Even though Yan Huan was standing right there, they acted as if they hadn't seen him.

"Huh? Why aren't those Troopers attacking?"

"Stupid, you're not within their attack range yet!"

"Oh, I see."

In the image, Yan Huan was wearing a black trench coat, its hem fluttering in the wind.

The golden embroidery on the trench coat elevated his presence to an infinite degree, causing the crowd to cheer as soon as they saw his back.

Slightly moving his wrists, Yan Huan had already familiarized himself with his virtual body.

Seeing the Troopers ahead, he grinned. With his gloved hand, he slowly took off his sunglasses.

As he took them off, he stared at the Troopers in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"Filthy monsters... get out of this world!"

Instantly, the power of the Stellaron was fiercely unleashed!

"Boom—!!"

With a thunderous explosion, a terrifying blast wave surged outwards from Yan Huan in all directions.

The sheer energy released caused countless Troopers closest to Yan Huan to be annihilated within the blast wave.

This caused the crowd watching the public screen to gasp in unison.

It even raised the temperature of the entire space station by a few degrees.

"Brother Huan is too amazing!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! He can actually kill Troopers with just his aura! The guys in the defense department weren't lying!"

"Is there a recording? I want to download it and watch it in my room like a movie!"

Before Yan Huan had even made a move, the feat of slaughtering a large number of Troopers with the blast wave from the Stellaron's release left the staff members dumbfounded.

Even these usually cultured and well-mannered professionals couldn't help but resort to the most primitive and crude forms of praise.

They couldn't help themselves.

After unleashing his power, Yan Huan froze, his golden pupils a little dazed.

"Huh? Why haven't I exited the 'Lie Flat' state yet?"

[Responding to host, this is merely calling consciousness data. Your main body has not truly unleashed the Stellaron.]

"So that's how it is, like being in a dream?" Yan Huan nodded.

"I understand!"

Suddenly.

Under everyone's gaze, Yan Huan moved.

He slowly reached into his chest.

Under everyone's excited gazes.

He quickly pulled out a small, single-soldier nuclear missile and skillfully slung it over his shoulder.

"Huh???"

Herta and everyone on the space station stared blankly at the scene.

What's going on? Isn't this development a bit off?

"Aha, die, all of you!"

Yan Huan was overjoyed to find that he could actually pull it out.

His eyes filled with fervor, and he decisively pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh—!!"

Without giving the crowd time to react, the small nuclear bomb directly landed in the building complex ahead.

"Boom—!!" A violent mushroom cloud erupted.

"..."
