Honkai Simulator: I'm Really not Seele!

Chapter 10: If Cocolia saw...



At this moment, Lunelle had no idea that while he was sleeping and recovering, Systema, the simulator elf, had secretly completed some special arrangements on his body.

These special arrangements were like a "seed" that could sprout at any time, as long as it successfully took root in Lunelle.

It seemed that this seed could directly guide Lunelle, the host of the simulator, and completely transform his body into his "true self," aligning it perfectly with his soul consciousness.

The reason why Systema had chosen to make these arrangements the previous night was clear. He had calculated the precise opportunity for the "special seed" to take root and sprout, and that moment would soon appear before Lunelle!

However, even if Lunelle knew about Systema's secretive actions, he didn't have the luxury of diverting his attention right now.

After all, today marked the beginning of the third Honkai Eruption, artificially triggered by Cocolia in Nagazora City.

After waking up, Lunelle quickly got out of bed and checked for any special or abnormal changes in the rental house where he was temporarily staying.

Having a general understanding of the plot, Lunelle naturally knew that the Herrscher of Thunder would be born in the third Honkai. However, there was an unusual peculiarity—this Herrscher's awakening was only partial.

Was it because the Third Herrscher's birth had been orchestrated by Cocolia, the phantom god of internal conflict? Or was it simply a device to progress the main storyline of Honkai Impact 3rd?

Regardless, the Herrscher of Thunder's power was among the most formidable in terms of offensive capabilities. Even in a half-awakened state, disabling Nagazora City's power grid would be effortless.

Therefore, even without stepping outside, Lunelle could determine whether the Herrscher of Thunder had awakened by simply observing whether the city's electrical systems remained operational.

Fortunately, after a thorough inspection, Lunelle found nothing out of the ordinary in his rental house, aside from the accumulating kitchen waste from days of instant noodle consumption.

He hurriedly boiled a large pot of water, ensuring that he wouldn't face the humiliating predicament of having instant noodles but no boiling water to prepare them.

After all, who knew when the power would suddenly cut off?

Although Lunelle had no intention of staying in Nagazora City long-term, he could at least endure a few more days of instant noodles in his rental house.

It was a pity that his original phone had been completely destroyed, and the simulator hadn't provided a replacement. Otherwise, the first thing he would have done was charge his phone with a power bank in preparation.

"Systema? Can you use the simulator's ability to calculate the exact moment the Honkai will break out?"

While waiting for the unknown, Lunelle called out to Systema to see how accurately the simulator could estimate the event's timing.

[Host, the simulator's calculation module primarily relies on the information provided by the host and extracts observable big data from the current world to make corresponding predictions.]

[Under normal circumstances, the more specific the information provided by the host, the more precise the estimated time. However, the highest accuracy achievable is only down to the day.]

[Additionally, as the estimated time approaches, the margin of error increases. After all, the future is not immutable—especially when the host, a special variable outside the original plot, is involved.]

"Oh? Is that so?"

Systema's response seemed to suggest that, as the host, Lunelle had the power to alter the very fabric of reality itself.

Hearing these words, it would be a lie to say Lunelle wasn't excited.

After all, what time traveler wouldn't dream of flipping the script, wiping out all impending tragedies in an instant, and dominating every challenge with overwhelming strength?

"Sigh, unrealistic fantasies should be put aside until after I survive today."

For now, Lunelle dared not take Systema's grand promises too seriously.

After all, breaking the rules or rewriting destiny depended solely on the strength of one's fists.

And Lunelle was keenly aware that his fists, at best, could be described as soft and delicate.

Looking at his small, tender hands, Lunelle could only imagine that if he were to punch someone, the most he would achieve was tickling them. It might even backfire, causing more pain to himself!

He glanced at the cheap wall clock, confirming the time. He then asked Systema about the cooldown progress for the next simulation.

"Systema? The cooldown for the next simulation should be over by now, right?"

[The cooldown period has ended. Would you like to start the simulation now?]

"Hmm… Let's hold off for now. But is Cocolia's quantum mecha still lurking outside Nagazora City?"

After last night's strange nightmare—its details now blurred—Lunelle had an inexplicable sense of unease.

And when Systema habitually prompted him to begin the simulation, this foreboding feeling suddenly peaked.

It was as if an unseen force was warning him that if he initiated the simulation and failed this time, the consequences would be far beyond his comprehension!

So, contrary to his usual habit of repeatedly simulating to steadily strengthen himself, Lunelle decided to suppress the urge this time.

Surprisingly, Systema, the ever-diligent simulator elf, did not react strongly to his unusual decision.

After all, this was an "open conspiracy."

The only reason Lunelle still had a choice was that true force majeure had yet to arrive.

And that force majeure was coming…

[Based on the information provided by the host, it is speculated that the primary objective of Anti-Entropy's Cocolia in stationing troops is to secure the Herrscher of Thunder's body.]

[Therefore, as long as Raiden Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, remains within Nagazora City, Cocolia's mecha forces are unlikely to withdraw.]

"Tsk, that old woman Cocolia sure knows how to bide her time…"

Learning that Cocolia's forces were still lurking around Nagazora City, Lunelle couldn't help but curse inwardly.

But when he thought about Cocolia's persistence in capturing the Herrscher for research, he recalled that it was all to rescue his wife, Seele, from the Sea of Quanta.

And if, at this moment, he—who looked so much like Seele—suddenly appeared before Cocolia…

Wouldn't she go insane on the spot?!
