[World-destroying flood]: You brought about a devastating flood that destroyed civilization
[Horn of Doom]: You have demonstrated the true power of "Gabriel" and initiated the [Final Judgment].
【A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold】: You kept your promise to them.
【Regret】: There are too many things you cannot change.
[Persist until hope comes]: Until the last moment, you are still maintaining your existence, just because you promised her - you must persist, well... persist, persist, hope will always come.
………………
"Hmm... a brief summary of this simulation? That's not bad..."
Xi Wang evaluated himself like this, but... his gaze stayed on the achievement of [Regret] for a long time.
"...Sure enough, it's not good at all."
Too many things could not be changed, and the final [ending] was not much better, it could even be said to be worse... As expected, this simulation was a failure.
"Let's see what we can gain this time... I remember that the [Record] entry can be transformed..."
Scrolling down further, Xiwang saw several new entries:
[Final Herrscher] (Gold): You were chosen by Honkai and became the [Herscher] who ultimately destroyed civilization.
Effect: The adaptability of Honkai energy is greatly improved, and the probability of becoming a [Hershersman] is increased. At the same time, if you become a [Hershersman], the probability of becoming the [Final Herrscher] is greatly increased.
"...6, so as long as I become a Herrscher, it will definitely be the End, right?"
Xi Wang's mouth twitched slightly. The first new entry at the beginning gave him quite a shock... To be honest, the power controlled after becoming a [Herrser] is indeed very tempting, but... the [Herrser] of the previous civilization has no way to maintain self-awareness, and there is a high probability that he will become the [End]... It will not be fun if he directly becomes part of the program to destroy civilization.
And to be honest, Xiwang still cherishes his identity as a human being...
However, the following entry made him put this worry aside.
[Flower of Humanity] (Purple): As someone who has always insisted on being a "human", even if you gave up in the end, your persistence is worthy of recognition... and as someone who is liked and loved by that [Herrser], you have also received her great care.
Effect: When becoming a [Herrscher/Honkai Creature/Honkai-like Creature], there is a certain probability that you will retain your own consciousness, a small probability that you will retain control over yourself, and an extremely small probability that you will be immune to the interference of Honkai.
"If I hadn't given up in the end... would this thing be golden? Maybe it would be immune to the interference of Honkai?"
Xi Wang muttered to himself half-jokingly, and then thought about the situation at that time... Forget it, there is no point in saying all this. After all, according to the situation at that time, he would definitely be willing to become a [Herrser], so as to avoid listening to others nagging about "for the sake of humanity".
As for the final result... although it was terrible, Xi Wang did not regret it, because regret was useless, the [ending] had already appeared, and all he could do now was to make his [next time] better.
And the next entry... is a bit interesting.
[Blessing of Flowing Water/Ocean] (Blue/Purple): As a child favored by the ocean, you have gained favor and blessings from the ocean (special effects will occur under special circumstances).
Effect: The creatures in the ocean will subconsciously feel close to you and become docile when approaching you. Correspondingly, you will prefer places and weather related to water. / After contacting and returning to the "ocean", the adaptability of Honkai energy is greatly improved, and the probability of becoming a [Herrser] is greatly increased.
"...?"
Xi Wang tilted his head in confusion.
"So this is a stable path for me to become the Herrscher of the End, right? If I feel unhappy, I can just embrace the Ocean, transform into the Herrscher, blow the horn of doom, and destroy the world with a flood to quickly achieve the End, right?"
"Do I have to gamble on the probability of the [Flower of Humanity] entry in the end? If it doesn't work, I'll just [End] and continue to gamble on the probability in the next round, right? I'm so unlucky, can I please not do this kind of probability thing..."
Xi Wang, who was very aware of his luck, sighed, but this was not something he could choose, the entries had already been fixed... On the bright side, he could at least [speedrun and restart], right?
As for the last entry, it made Xiwang silent.
[Blood Relative (Orca/Skadi)] (Blue): Due to some accidents, a killer whale Honkai beast recognized you as her "blood relative".
Effect: Creatures like killer whales will have a natural sense of closeness to you, and may even treat you as a special "kindred spirit". At the same time, a killer whale who can be called "Skadi" will have a great liking for you.
"……Ugh."
Xiwang sighed, not knowing what to say.
Didi is very cute... Didi likes you very much... So she left all her power to you, and even turned into an [entry] to follow you... What else can I say? Right?
"However, this is a breakthrough point..."
Xiwang thought about it, and forced himself to shift his thoughts away from the sadness.
"I can retrieve the name [Skadi]... which means my memory should still exist in the simulation, but it's very weak. Well... from the process of the priest taking me away and the process of looking for the police, I can see that in the simulation, apart from some basic knowledge, I still have some impressions of myself... This is good news."
At least it means that I don't have to maintain that "ignorant" attitude every time I face the simulation. I just need to find a way to leave an "impression" on myself...
Almost subconsciously, Xi Wang pulled the light screen down to the [recording board] and began to write down what he had just discovered and some speculations.
First, there was the [page turning] sound when he woke up. Obviously, that was a sign of going back to this moment... So was there a simulation before this one? He just didn't remember it?
Secondly, it is about the use of new entries... Although there is now a quick-pass gambling route for [Final Law] consisting of [Blessing of Flowing Water/Ocean], [Final Ruler], and [Flower of Humanity], this method should be regarded as the ultimate guarantee... He still cherishes his identity as a human being.
And most importantly, after entering the simulation, he probably didn't remember what his entries were, and could only rely on the experience in the simulation to trigger them naturally... It was very likely that he wouldn't achieve the desired effect, especially the specially marked [Ocean], which obviously required special conditions to trigger, should it be after the [Gabriel] crusade? In short, there should be prerequisites.
In addition, [Speed Run Restart] may reduce your chances of obtaining new entries. If it goes on for a long time, you may be stuck on this gambling route. With your luck... forget it. It is better to lower the priority of this speed run method.
But... you can try it once.
Then there's that church... Tsk, that priest is so disgusting, I have to find a way to get rid of him... It just so happens that I can use him for experiments.
"Since this is an experiment... then let's make the first impression [Kill the Priest]."
Xiwang was thinking.
Maybe because of the influence of the first simulation, he has no reaction to the act of killing... Tsk, he was a good law-abiding boy before, how come he became like this in the blink of an eye?
Xi Wang curled his lips, feeling a little helpless about his current attitude, but not very disgusted, as if he had already accepted it.
"…That's a simulation, yeah, that's a simulation."
Xiwang emphasized this to himself again and continued to think.
As long as the impression of "killing the priest" is deepened and it can be implemented correctly in this simulation, then maybe this method can be used to leave the memory you want in the future... the follow-up of this simulation may be the same as the previous one.
After all, [killing the priest] will bring revenge from [those guys], and I will most likely return to [Poison Pupa] later. In this case... I should be able to meet Sakura again.
"........."
Xiwang subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth...that was the place Ying had kissed.
Although the process of meeting and falling in love was strange, but... the feelings were real... well, although it was only in simulation.
After that, you should be able to come into contact with the mutated [Ocean] after the "Gabriel" subjugation war, and then directly transform into [Final Law] and directly reach [Ending] to achieve a speedrun... Well, very good, it's enough for an attempt.
Xi Wang habitually erased everything written on the [recording board], then stood up and walked towards the exit illuminated by light.
Anyway, anyway...
【Welcome to a new day】
The beginning of Chapter 5311 [Story] has changed slightly ()
[The priest who was about to go home met you and saw you standing at the entrance of the alley in confusion. He came forward enthusiastically to help you.]
[For some reason, facing the kind and enthusiastic priest, you have an inexplicable disgust, and your eyes linger on his neck, heart and other fatal places... You have a feeling that if you cut and penetrate them, the priest in front of you will die.]
[You don’t understand why you know all this, and for a moment you feel confused about your bad attitude, especially when the priest is particularly friendly to you. This inexplicable disgust makes you feel strange... But facing the priest who keeps showing kindness, you believe him for the time being... Well, you only trust him a little bit.]
[After all, you are hungry, you need food, you need clothes to keep you warm, and you need a place to rest, and he happens to have all these things.]
[You followed him, but did not agree to let him touch you. You just followed him from a distance... Although the inexplicable disgust made you feel strange, you still decided to trust your feelings.]
[The priest brought you to the church. The children enthusiastically surrounded you and asked you many questions out of curiosity... Here, you got food, clothes, a bed to rest, and even many friends. It seems that there is nothing wrong.]
[But you still feel inexplicably flustered and terrified, and of course more of it is... anger, an extremely clear anger directed at the priest.]
[The priest treated you very kindly, and even took you to the police station the next day to help you find your relatives... But this action made you hate him even more, and you even had a very disgusting feeling towards this police station, as if it was a place you hated very much.]
[The priest noticed your emotion and began to comfort you... His tone was very gentle, and even his words revealed a sense of "experience"]
[Your eyes begin to wander around his abdomen, and thoughts of ripping him open keep popping up in your mind... You feel yourself getting weirder and weirder... But you don't seem to mind, and you're even eager to try.]
[The priest began to be a little afraid of you, because he sensed that you wanted to kill him... That cold, eager look in his eyes made his hair stand on end. No matter how he tried to comfort you, your attitude towards him remained the same, and the look in your eyes when you looked at him never changed. This made him plan to "imprison" you.]
[However, tying you up and throwing you into the room without any reason is really not in line with his own way of doing things, and doing so will also destroy his image in the eyes of other "good kids", so he does not intend to do anything to you directly]
[But... just because he can't do anything to you directly doesn't mean he can't guide you. With just a few small hints and a little push on some things, you will soon become the "bad kid" among the kids. In this way, other kids won't care where you, the "bad kid", go... He's already very skilled in this area.]
[But this time he seems to have met his match... When he wants to find you, you often "hide" and run back and forth between several places, or "play", so that he can't catch you. His idea of turning you into a "bad boy" is also difficult to achieve, which makes him somewhat irritated.]
[But fortunately, he finally found an opportunity]
--------
tick-
The rain fell gently to the ground, soaking the grass and adding a touch of dampness to the surroundings.
"Father, to be honest, your reasons are really bad."
Xiwang let the priest lead her and spoke indifferently.
"He said he was disobedient, often ran to the backyard to play, and often hid, which made people worry... This excuse is really bad."
"Don't look for a reason if you don't have one. You're a rotten person anyway."
"...Oh? I don't remember you being such a talkative kid."
The priest turned around with some curiosity, looked at him carefully, and asked kindly.
"Although I know you have a big prejudice against me... but you shouldn't be the kind of kid who talks nonsense, right? Did you hear anything from anyone? For example... those [bad kids]?"
"Don't always listen to them. They are all [bad kids] and always tell lies. You can't trust their words, okay?"
"It seems you are indeed doing something...Father."
Xi Wang tilted his head, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him changed slightly, becoming more... colder.
"In fact, I am also very curious, why do I hate you so much... You clearly provide me with food, shelter, warm clothes, and are willing to take care of me and those children..."
"I heard that you have a [school] specially prepared for us to study... You are obviously very good to us, but why... I still hate you."
"Maybe it's because you're a bad kid."
The priest's body suddenly trembled, and he had an inexplicable illusion that he was being stared at by something very scary... Yes, it was like being stared at by some kind of predator.
But he quickly calmed down, without showing any cowardice on his face. He just stood up calmly and walked towards the warehouse in the backyard with an umbrella.
But Xiwang knew that his heart was definitely not as calm as he appeared... He held the rope tighter and pulled it hard when he was leading himself away, as if he was venting something.
Ha...it's funny that I'm afraid of a little kid - that's probably what he thought.
"Father, won't you shelter me from the rain? I'll get sick if I get wet."
Xi Wang tilted his head and continued speaking in a natural tone, as if he didn't know what he would face next.
"That's what you said, huh? If you get sick from the rain, you'll become a bad kid."
"...Yes, but that's only for the [good kids]. For you, who is already a [bad kid], getting wet in the rain is the most normal thing."
The priest walked in front holding an umbrella and spoke without turning his head.
"…Really? That doesn't matter."
Xiwang looked up at the night sky covered by rain clouds, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully felt the water drops dripping on his body. The slightly cool temperature made him feel comfortable. Although the atmosphere was a bit humid, he felt particularly fond of it... as if he should be a [fish] staying in the water, rather than a [person] walking on the ground.
--------
[Entry: Blessing of the Water/Ocean (Blue), has taken effect]
You become more fond of water-related places and weather
--------
"Actually, I like rainy days. It's okay to get wet."
Xi Wang opened his eyes again and moved his gaze to the priest in front of him, but... there seemed to be something extra in his dark pupils.
A hint of gold appeared in the dark pupils, like the shining stars in the night sky. The outer circle of the pupils was covered with a layer of light scarlet, which made people feel weird and even more frightening.
"........."
The priest walking in front trembled slightly again. The fleeting sense of crisis made him quicken his pace, but soon his emotions were replaced by anger and irritation.
What's going on, this kid... why is he so troublesome?! - He thought so.
After I deal with him, I will make him pay me back a thousand times, ten thousand times! - He decided.
So he impatiently turned on the power of the warehouse, took out the key and prepared to open the door of the warehouse... During this process, because he had to hold the rope that bound Xi Wang with one hand and hold an umbrella with the other hand, coupled with the dark rainy night, he seemed a little flustered, and many cold raindrops fell on his hands and wet his sleeves... And this cold feeling made him even more impatient, and his movements became more and more chaotic.
