Houraiji Kyuusyou raised a brow, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing against the hem of her skirt. "What kind of cheat?"
Sirin held a faint violet particle of light at her fingertip and replied calmly, "A simulation system. I made it."
"Why me?" Houraiji Kyuusyou pressed, her gaze settling on the cluster of light. Within it, she could vaguely see intricate streams of data flowing.
"It would cause problems if anyone else used it. You're different." Sirin paused slightly, and the light particle trembled in response. "You can activate it in your dreams, and you can make those dreams become reality."
"Uh... that's the only reason?" Houraiji Kyuusyou looked a little surprised. She had expected something more complicated.
"Mm!" Sirin nodded heavily, and the light particle spun once in her palm.
At that moment, Delta's voice cut in, carrying her usual calm tone. "Principal."
Sirin turned her head toward her, one brow lifting slightly. "What is it?"
"What experiment are you planning to conduct?" Delta met her gaze directly, without the slightest attempt at subtlety.
Sirin nodded frankly, and the light particle at her fingertip gradually dimmed. "In our own universe, we stand at the top. But in anomalous universes, we're restricted. If powerful beings in those universes bear us ill will, we have no advantage." As she spoke, she turned her gaze back to Kyuusyou. "You can have prophetic dreams, but your ability isn't stable, right?"
Houraiji Kyuusyou tacitly admitted it. "That's true."
As long as there were variables interfering, her prophetic dreams would fail—just like in this world. If she had come here alone, she could have activated her ability freely. But with Delta present, either Delta had to leave, or the two of them had to be completely in sync, united in mind and body.
"My system can allow you to remain unaffected by most external factors." The light particle in Sirin's hand lit up again. "Even if there are variables like transmigrators, running the simulation again can incorporate them into the scope."
"Sounds good." Houraiji Kyuusyou nodded. "Then what do you need me to do?"
"I want you to help me change the past of a world," Sirin said.
"Sure." Houraiji Kyuusyou's answer was so straightforward that Sirin froze for a moment.
Without another word, violet light mist spread around Sirin. Her entire body transformed into a sphere of light and flew straight into Kyuusyou's chest.
Houraiji Kyuusyou raised a hand and touched her chest. It was hard to refuse something that came knocking like this—especially when Sirin was that cute.
"Do you need any help?" Cecilia's voice came from behind them, gentle as a spring breeze.
Houraiji Kyuusyou turned back and shook her head. "No need. We can handle it."
"If you need anything, you can contact me." Cecilia smiled, and her figure dissolved into specks of light, gradually fading into the air.
"This person... why do I feel like she resembles Kiana?" Houraiji Kyuusyou muttered in confusion, staring at the direction where the light specks had vanished.
Delta spoke flatly from the side. "Her appearance is based on Kiana's mother. You didn't know?"
"I really didn't." Kyuusyou spread her hands. "I've never met Kiana's mother."
"Enough. Let's think about how to remodel this world first." Delta shifted the topic, a trace of interest flashing in her eyes—she had originally intended to transform this place into a Honkai paradise. But excessive Honkai energy would cause non-Honkai organisms to go extinct. All life would either evolve into Honkai creatures or be reduced to ashes.
Houraiji Kyuusyou understood her thoughts and let out a helpless sigh. "I'll handle it. It's a good chance to test this system anyway."
[You have begun the simulation.]
[Following your own ideas, you begin altering the trajectory of the world.]
[The Kabane virus is mutated by Honkai energy. The original zombie-like forms gradually become etched with patterns of Honkai.]
[Delta manipulates large numbers of the mutated Kabane, fusing them into a massive cloud of black smoke to facilitate the recovery of scattered Honkai energy.]
[Those humans who had lost their memories suddenly awaken their sealed memories upon witnessing the black smoke merging.]
[The restored humans identify the mutated black smoke as the root of the disaster. Overnight, they manufacture large quantities of bombs, vowing to destroy it.]
[You appear in time, attempting to stop them and explain that the black smoke is now safe.]
[But the humans refuse to listen. They treat you as a monster allied with the black smoke and begin hurling bombs and firing bullets at you.]
[Seeing you attacked, Delta is instantly enraged—she strikes with incredible speed, eliminating all the humans who attacked you in the blink of an eye.]
[The bodies of those who attacked you suddenly sprout rampant branches and leaves, transforming into monsters.]
[Only a small number of humans who did not take action seize the chaos to escape.]
[After this battle, you become completely famous. But in the eyes of humanity, you are the masterminds behind the world's destruction.]
[Humanity secretly plots, swearing to eradicate you.]
[Upon learning this, Delta intends to directly exterminate all humans, but you stop her in time.]
[In the days that follow, human technology advances by leaps and bounds—new Honkai-powered weapons driven by explosive force gradually replace traditional firearms, their power far surpassing the past.]
[They repeatedly launch assaults on the black smoke, convinced it is the source of your power. As long as it is destroyed, you will lose your combat strength.]
[In response, the bored Delta has a sudden whim. She creates monsters capable of adapting to their environment and continuously evolving, naming them "Aberrant Beasts."]
[You watch the bizarrely shaped Aberrant Beasts and merely let out a helpless sigh, making no attempt to stop her.]
[In the early stages of humanity's battle against the Aberrant Beasts, their new weapons secure multiple victories. But once the Aberrant Beasts complete their first evolution, human weapons can no longer inflict effective damage.]
[Humanity, having lost its advantage, retreats step by step. Internal conflict erupts as well—ultimately, the ceasefire faction led by Yomogawa Ayame defeats the war faction and seizes power.]
[Yomogawa Ayame personally brings offerings to your doorstep, willing to worship you as gods in exchange for peace.]
[You agree.]
[The world appears to have restored peace. But this is merely a delaying tactic by the war faction—they secretly accumulate strength and search everywhere for your weaknesses.]
[To oppose you, humanity begins secretly conducting bodily modification experiments.]
[After dozens of failures, super soldiers fused with Aberrant Beast genes are finally born.]
[Humanity rejoices, unaware that this "success" is entirely orchestrated by Delta behind the scenes—with their current technology, they could never have achieved gene fusion with Aberrant Beasts.]
[Delta's mastery in the field of genetics is no different from that of a god to the humans of this world. Those so-called super soldiers are no different from Aberrant Beasts in her eyes. They merely retain human consciousness and appearance—but if she wishes, that can change at any moment.]
[Humanity fails to notice anything amiss and begins secretly mass-producing super soldiers.]
[Once their strength grows sufficient, the war faction suddenly launches a coup—Yomogawa Ayame and her subordinates are defeated by the super soldiers and flee all the way to your territory.]
[You defeat the super soldiers pursuing them and rescue them.]
[The war faction, having regained control, becomes even more frenzied. They expand their military forces wildly and even capture civilians, forcibly transforming them into super soldiers.]
[After thorough preparations, they launch the largest-scale offensive against you—black smoke across the world is destroyed by the military, and all Honkai energy crystals are reclaimed by humanity.]
[With the black smoke eliminated, humanity's confidence surges. They gather all their forces and surround you completely.]
[In order to protect Yomogawa Ayame and the others, you fail to evade the bombs made from Honkai energy crystals. After enduring the attack head-on, you are gravely injured, and your body begins to evolve.]
[You lose consciousness.]
[Delta appears in time. With a mere flick of her finger, the super soldiers besieging you suddenly lose their sense of self and begin attacking their own comrades.]
[The human army collapses instantly.]
[Delta holds your unconscious body. White light spreads around her, forming a massive white cocoon.]
[When you awaken again, your evolution is complete.]
[You break free from the cocoon, only to discover that the outside world has already changed beyond recognition—super soldiers who have lost themselves and Aberrant Beasts run rampant everywhere. Eighty-five percent of humanity has already perished.]
[Delta orders an end to the attacks. The surviving humans, seeing that the situation is hopeless, ultimately choose to submit.]
