The Honkai Simulator Is Not Meant To Abduct Herrschers!

When Chen Ran entered the simulation scene, the system had reminded him that everything he experienced was a simulated scene, not reality.

And the worst thing that could happen was to confuse memories of reality with those in the scene; once lost in it, that would be quite fatal.

Thus, Chen Ran had been comforting himself that this was a simulated scene.

Theoretically, he could end the scene now and move on to the next one.

But...

Why did he feel so uncomfortable?

He could no longer hear what Theresa was saying beside him, until his world became clear again, and the entire ward was empty.

"System."

He slowly spoke, asking a question: "Honestly tell me, how much impact will the simulation scene have on the reality of the Herrschers?"

When he first received the system, he had joked about it being a simulation, but in reality, it still had an impact on reality.

However, because of that joke, the system hadn't properly explained the main functions of the simulator.

[Destiny.]

"What does that mean?"

[The Anti-Honkai Simulator 666 can be seen as a special Stigmata. This Anti-Honkai armament adjusts the fate of the Herrschers to find the ultimate answer to countering Honkai. The simulated scenes centered around the host can be viewed as a rehearsal for the future fate of that Herrscher, thus drafting their destiny.]

Clearly, the system had placed three bets.

The first was relying on Chen Ran to obtain rewards through the simulated scenes to find opportunities to counter Honkai; the second was relying on 666 to enter Fire Moth, gaining deeper insights into Honkai to find opportunities to counter it.

And the third was relying on the Herrschers influenced by the simulated scenes, causing their fates to deviate, seeking opportunities to counter Honkai.

Chen Ran pondered: "So, what happens in the simulation scene will likely happen in the future, right?"

[The time distance is too far, and the system's capabilities are limited. It can only be said that the future in the simulation scene has a probability of occurring, but it will only follow certain vague nodes. Therefore, the simulation scene influences the future fate of the Herrschers.]

Chen Ran suddenly thought of a term: Stigmata terminal.

It seemed that the Stigmata terminal in the Honkai Academy did just that, but its influence was on reincarnation. Moreover, the system did not have Alaya consciousness.

So this system's prestige was actually weaker than the Stigmata terminal.

But even so, it was already absurd enough to draft the fate of the Herrschers through simulated scenes, guiding them onto a pre-planned path.

"Then if something happens to Wendy in the simulation scene, does that mean there's a high probability something will happen in the future as well?"

[Yes.]

The system's brief response left Chen Ran silent.

Clearly, the purpose of this Anti-Honkai simulator was to reduce the damage caused by Herrschers to civilization, while it didn't care much about the Herrschers themselves, or cared very little.

His mind fell into deep thought.

…

…

Meanwhile, in another room of the medical office.

Kiana and the others were visiting Himeko.

Raiden Mei had a clear look of guilt on her face. According to Theresa, Himeko hadn't been injured last night, and her injuries were mostly from Nagazora City.

Himeko didn't mind these things.

She waved her hand and said, "Alright, you all go back. There are medical staff here watching over me; I don't need you."

"Especially you, Kiana. If your grades drop, don't come begging me during the retake."

Kiana immediately puffed up her cheeks in defiance: "Miss is a genius! How could those exam questions possibly stump me!"

"Don't kid yourself. I've seen your grades at Senba Academy; you barely passed a few times."

Himeko paused and said, "Becoming a Valkyrie is different from being a student. Every weapon parameter needs to be mastered precisely, which has a natural high requirement for math and physics."

Kiana pouted: "Stop looking down on people."

At this time, Kiana hadn't faced any exams at Saint Freya yet, so she could still pretend to be a genius student.

The three followed Himeko's words and left the medical room.

But just before they left, they heard Himeko say, "By the way, before you go, help me do one thing."

A forced smile appeared on her lips as she said, "Help me apologize to Chen Ran. I didn't protect Wendy well."

…

…

When Kiana and the others arrived at Chen Ran's room, they found him staring blankly at the ceiling.

The pale complexion and the expression that seemed to be lifeless startled Kiana.

For a moment, she felt as if she was visiting not a patient, but a zombie.

He heard the sound and saw the three standing at the door, forcing himself to adjust his mood: "Is there something you need?"

"Um..."

Kiana hesitated a bit.

Instead, it was Bronya who spoke up: "Teacher Himeko sent us to apologize to you."

"No need to apologize, it has nothing to do with her." Chen Ran shook his head and said, "She has done her best within her capabilities, and I am very grateful for that."

Although the final outcome was not satisfactory, Chen Ran was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

Theresa did not expect Anti-Entropy to attack, and he did not expect it either.

He relied too much on his prior knowledge of the plot before his crossing, to the extent that he had not thought of countermeasures when the plot and scenes deviated.

There was a hint of helplessness in his words.

Now, the only thing he could do was wait.

Wait for news from Theresa.

He could only pray that Wendy was not dead, but had instead become a controllable Herrscher.

Seeing this, Bronya said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help yesterday either."

"The attack happened at four in the morning, which is when people sleep the soundest, so there's no need to apologize." Chen Ran shook his head and said, "And don't worry about me, I believe Wendy will be fine."

The girl hesitated for a moment and spoke: "Bronya can help you contact someone from Anti-Entropy."

She recognized the mecha that attacked Saint Freya, which came from the radical faction where Cocolia was.

Although she had already made up her mind to break away from Cocolia, in this situation, helping Chen Ran contact Cocolia was not out of the question.

Chen Ran forced a smile and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

He did not hold any expectations.

It was clear that this time, World Serpent had allied with Anti-Entropy to seize the Gem of Desire, and their goal was to use the Herrscher Core to open the Abyssal Eye, establishing a passage between the Sea of Quanta and the current civilization, allowing Kevin to escape.

In other words, if Wendy was captured, it was highly likely that it would be there.

The only good news now was that it was Raven who had captured Wendy, not Cocolia.

If it were Cocolia herself, she would probably use the Gem of Desire as a power source for the Father, and then Wendy would truly be in danger.

But now...

If Wendy had not escaped, she might be on Jackal's operating table being studied.

He felt a bit restless.

No matter which outcome it was, it was not what he wanted.
