Honkai Simulator: I conquered Kiana of Finality

Chapter 87: One man, one sword, fighting against the gods alone!

Boom!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a huge golden "angel" descended from the sky, holding the sword of judgment in its hand, and appeared in the world like a god.

It is tens of meters long, and the golden sword in its hand is also extremely large, like a thunder of judgment.

From the moment it appeared, countless golden leaves fell around it.

The appearance of each golden leaf distorted the environment on the spot, changing the overall atmosphere of the entire town of Kolosten, making it weird and unpredictable.

This is none other than the Messenger of Imaginary Tree, a terrifying existence that symbolizes the will of the Imaginary Tree and exercises the authority of imaginary numbers.

The imaginary power it carries comes from the Imaginary Tree, which is connected to the source of the laws of the entire world. It is several levels higher than the will of Honkai that Mo Chen once fought against.

Because of this, after appearing, this messenger of God looked at all the existences in front of him arrogantly, showing extreme indifference to the human species.

The laws of reality are completely distorted in front of it, and the concepts of life and death become vague.

All of a sudden, not only the people present, but even the audience outside were shocked by this amazing scene, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

[Imaginary God Envoy, this thing actually appeared directly in reality?]

[Dr. Mobius had spent her entire life to reach the Imaginary Tree in order to save Mo Chen, and finally saw this terrifying existence. I didn't expect it to appear here.]

[The messenger from the Imaginary Tree, this thing is even more terrifying than the Will of Honkai!]

[Last time, he helped Mobius create a fusion warrior in advance, but it only triggered the pursuit of the Honkai Will. This time, he wanted to save Kallen, but it actually directly attracted the Imaginary Tree?]

[Is Kallen's fate so unchangeable? The world won't allow her to continue living?]

[This is too cruel...]

"Humph, so they really have attracted the Imaginary God Envoy."

Seeing the content of the video, Mobius curled her lips in disbelief. She had obviously expected this a long time ago, so she was not overly surprised.

As a scientist who has conducted long-term research on the Imaginary Tree, Mobius is very clear about the many factors that trigger the Imaginary Tree. Naturally, she had long ago judged what the result would be if Mo Chen forcibly protected Kallen.

As the foundation of the world, the Imaginary Tree has its own operating logic, like a program established by a set of rules that cannot be destroyed in the slightest.

The Imaginary Tree will regard anything that forcibly breaks the rules as a bug and send out its own messengers to forcibly fix the bug.

In this regard, Mobius's previous behavior of reaching the origin of the Imaginary Tree in human form was an obvious bug that destroyed the program, which directly attracted the attention of the Imaginary Tree and sent out the Imaginary Messenger to judge her.

Fortunately, Mobius had made all the preparations in advance and used the power of the Twelfth Ruler to erode the Imaginary God, thus successfully breaking the barrier of the Imaginary Law and ascending to the realm of gods as a mortal.

And this time, Mo Chen's protection of Kallen was obviously an action that would cause a reaction from the Imaginary Tree.

After all, the Imaginary Tree has direction, branching out in a fixed way.

In order to ensure the stability of the direction of each branch, the Imaginary Tree allows many changes in the development of the world, but at many key nodes, mortals are not allowed to waver in the slightest.

Once someone tries to change these key nodes and cause the direction of development of the world's branches to change, the Imaginary Tree will definitely take notice and send out messengers to eliminate these individuals who try to distort the world!

The death of Kallen Kaslana is a node event that must happen. Everything in this event can change, but Kallen's death is unaffected by anything and will definitely happen!

Even if it doesn't happen in reality, the Imaginary Tree will force it to happen.

This is the law of the world!

"The world is cruel. It has no good or evil, does not follow human nature, has no sympathy, and does not have any sensibility," Elysia murmured silently as she looked at the screen, "But humans are not like that. Human nature and human emotions will always be the most important strength of this race. As long as we have this strength, we will never be defeated even when facing the cruel and ruthless world itself. I always believe this, no, I will always believe it!"

"…"

Hearing Elysia's murmur, Mobius's eyes became inexplicably complicated.

She looked at the pink-haired girl in front of her as if she saw a huge purgatory that was even more complicated and more difficult to escape from than Kallen Kaslana in the video.

To what extent must one go in order to free people from such a purgatory?

Just imagining that scene, Mobius couldn't help but feel an instinctive fear from the bottom of her heart...

…

The arrival of the Imaginary God changed the environment of the entire town of Kolosten. It descended from the sky, carrying some unshakable mission, and appeared behind the Bishop of Schicksal.

At this moment, Bishop Niklas became completely confident. He thought he had mastered the power of God, so he looked at the three people in front of him as if they were ants, and said in a cold voice:

"Otto, Kallen, and Mo Chen, you fools who have angered the gods are doomed to be unable to escape this tragic fate today. Just accept the judgment of the gods!"

Bishop Niklas obviously did not realize that he had become a puppet of God. He thought he had gained God's attention and the ability to exercise divine power, and he was extremely confident.

"How could it be…"

Unexpectedly, Bishop Niklas summoned such an amazing existence. Otto and Kallen both showed unspeakable panic on their faces.

At the same time, due to the appearance of the Imaginary God, many ordinary people around have fallen to the ground because the entire scene has become imaginary, and only a few individuals with imaginary resistance can still barely stand.

This naturally does not include Otto and Kallen. Even though they are members of the Apocalypse family and the Kaslana family, they do not have this kind of resistance.

This is undoubtedly the most powerful aspect of the Imaginary God.

Even the so-called strongest Valkyrie, if she does not have any imaginary resistance, will not be able to fight against the Imaginary God. Under the influence of the imaginary field, she will continue to weaken, be hit with one weakness buff after another that affects her actions, and eventually be defeated.

If ordinary people want to defeat this kind of existence, they either need an imaginary resistance that is enough to be unaffected by the Imaginary God and overcome the pressure brought by the Imaginary Tree, or have power like a Herrscher to offset it and forcibly break the barriers of the imaginary field through more powerful force.

These two methods were demonstrated in the original work of "Honkai Impact 3rd". Otto and Raiden Mei used the first method and the second method respectively to defeat the messenger sent by the Imaginary Tree.

Among them, Otto made a deal with the Will of Honkai and briefly gained the same level of ability as the Imaginary God, obtained a huge imaginary resistance buff, and then relied on his strong will to defeat the Imaginary God.

After becoming the Herrscher of Thunder, Raiden Mei gained the power to conquer. Relying on the more powerful power after becoming the Herrscher of Thunder, she forcibly broke the restrictions of the imaginary realm and defeated the Imaginary God.

Of course, there are thousands of ways in the world, and there are definitely more than just these two ways to defeat the Imaginary Gods.

For example, in the previous worldline, Mobius relied on the power of the Herrscher of Corruption to directly corrode the Imaginary God and seize his body.

It was defeated without any effort.

This shows how terrifying this genius doctor is, and the unsolvable methods she uses after exerting her talents to the extreme.

In short, the Imaginary God now appeared in front of everyone, with an extreme sense of oppression, announcing his invincible existence to the world.

Facing this scene, Mo Chen took the initiative to step forward and said calmly: "Even if it is a real god, so what? On what basis can a god arbitrarily decide the fate of mankind? What qualifications does it have to decide the fate of a person?!"

After hearing Mo Chen's concept that only modern humans have, Otto, Kallen, and Bishop Niklas at the scene fell silent.

After all, for those who live in a religious worldview, the existence of God is unshakable, and humans cannot offer any resistance to the judgment of God.

Now Mo Chen actually expressed his denial of the gods. Everyone was shocked and didn't know how to respond.

"A mere fellow who came out of nowhere is so arrogant." Bishop Niklas was not intimidated by Mo Chen's words, and said angrily: "God is the master of this world. All humans are nothing but ants in front of the might of God. Why can't God decide the fate of you stupid humans?!"

"Oh, you are really stupid." Facing Bishop Niklas's religious fanatic look, Mo Chen shook his head indifferently, "If you knew how your ancestors fought against the gods tens of thousands of years ago, you would definitely not say such extremely stupid words!"

"Ancestors? Tens of thousands of years ago? Fighting against the gods?"

After hearing Mo Chen's words, not only Bishop Niklas, but also Otto and Kallen were shocked by the huge amount of information contained in Mo Chen's words.

Before everyone could say anything, Mo Chen took a step forward with his sword, staring directly at the huge imaginary envoy.

"Come on, you lackey sent by the world! If you want to complete your mission, come and fight me to the death!" Facing the arrival of the Imaginary God's Messenger, Mo Chen was not afraid at all, but laughed loudly, "Let me pay for all the failures I have encountered this time!"

"I will destroy anything that stands in my way, even the world itself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant purple snake shadow suddenly appeared on Mo Chen's body.

As the power of the fusion warrior spread across his body, Mo Chen's aura suddenly became extremely terrifying, colliding forcefully with the aura of the imaginary god's messenger!

Bang!

Lightning exploded!

One man, one sword, fighting against the gods alone!

[Fuck, is Mo Chen going to fight against the Imaginary God Envoy in human form?]

[Hi——This is so awesome! So cool!]

[And if you think about it carefully, the possibility of him winning is quite high. After all, Mo Chen is now at a level where he can even fight against the Immortal.]

[But he is a messenger sent by the World Will, and the judge appointed by the Imaginary Tree. Can humans really fight against such a being?]

[Although Dr. Mobius won, it was by trickery. A head-on one-on-one battle would be too difficult...]

[Come on, Master Mo Chen, you will definitely win]

…

The scene where Mo Chen, alone with a sword, challenged the imaginary god's envoy, shocked every viewer who saw the video.

Everyone was shocked by the other party's courage of "being willing to make the world the enemy in order to protect what should be protected," and they were once again attracted by Mo Chen, causing his popularity to soar.

Schicksal Headquarters.

Now Otto and Kallen looked at Mo Chen in the video, and themselves who were helpless and unable to do anything at the scene, and they all showed expressions of extreme regret.

Yes, if they were the people they are now, they might be able to lend a helping hand to Mo Chen in that place, but at that time, they were completely unable to do anything and could only watch Mo Chen fight against the world alone in order to protect them.

This kind of thing is absolutely unspeakable torture for Otto and Kallen, and it is a hurdle that they have not been able to overcome until now.

If they had the chance to start over again, they would never sit idly by and watch the battle between Mo Chen and the will of the world again but would fight with all their might to protect the people important to them.

Thinking of this, Otto recalled the transport ship to Nagazora that Rita had just arranged. He couldn't help but smile and looked at Kallen beside him:

"Kallen, maybe we will be able to see Mo Chen again later."

"After that... what do you mean?" Hearing Otto's words, Kallen was stunned for a moment, and then her face was suddenly filled with surprise, "We can see Master Mo Chen again?!"

"It should be, if my information is correct..." Otto said calmly, staring silently at the young self in the video, who didn't know what he would encounter next, with a bitter smile on his face, "Perhaps, this time, we can help him and solve some problems for him."

"This time…"

Hearing the hidden meaning in Otto's words, Kallen's expression paused slightly.

She was also very clear that past regrets were destined to be irreparable, and all they could do now was to look to the future as much as possible.

Fortunately, the three of them are still alive and well. Even the will of the world could not separate them...

This is undoubtedly the greatest luck.

"This time, let's go together to help Master Mo Chen."

Kallen said with a smile on her face.

"…"

Otto said nothing, but his eyes gradually became deeper, as if he was recalling a past that was too long and too lonely.
