Ye Feng's words didn't sound like a joke.
And what did he mean by "you're just sitting around idle anyway"?
Did he really think her title, "God's messenger sent to cleanse the filth," was just for show?
To be pushed to this extent, did he really think she was made of clay!?
"Fine, human. Let me see just how many you can generate. I'll kill as many as you can create."
"Mm."
Ye Feng flashed a brilliant smile.
---o---
Soon, Ye Feng brought the Herrscher of the Void into a simulation space and generated a planet.
The data for its creation was primarily sourced from St. Freya High School.
Although not entirely accurate, the resulting planet was largely similar to the one outside.
Ye Feng and the Herrscher of the Void stood in the blackness of outer space, looking down at the glowing blue planet below.
"Please, begin your performance," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"…"
The Herrscher of the Void clicked her tongue inwardly, extremely displeased.
The way he said it made her feel like a clown in a circus.
But she was already here. If she did nothing, she really would become a clown.
"Hmph, you don't have to tell me!"
The Herrscher of the Void snorted coldly, opened a spatial rift that swallowed her whole, and warped away at high speed.
Soon, Ye Feng saw a point… a point smaller than a sesame seed… rise up on the blue planet.
It was the glowing effect caused by the convergence of immense Honkai energy.
"Still, from the macroscopic perspective of a celestial body, the impact the Herrscher of the Void is making really isn't all that impressive… She must not be using her full power, right?"
He remembered that Herrschers of the past could sink continents.
Then again, from Ye Feng's current perspective, even the continent of Africa looked no bigger than a marble.
Ye Feng activated his panoramic view, and every scene from everywhere the Herrscher of the Void went was projected before him.
The first thing to be blown away was a small island with a luxurious villa.
Like smudging a charcoal sketch, the island was casually erased.
The Herrscher of the Void didn't linger. She continued to warp, arriving at a coastal city where an unprecedentedly massive explosion descended.
Then, she warped again.
"Whoa, this is pretty intense."
The Herrscher of the Void spread her glowing wings. Like an emotionless angel, she patrolled the skies, carrying out a never-ending judgment.
Her hatred for humanity was genuine.
Her desire to destroy the world had reached its peak.
Rage and vengeance became a conflagration made manifest, cleansing the earth over and over again, until human civilization on the planet was extinguished.
Countless screams echoed in her ears, countless corpses piled up beneath her feet, and countless streams of blood flowed from her fingertips.
An unknown amount of time passed. The Herrscher of the Void floated quietly above the planet… without consciousness, without movement, without emotion.
She was as vacant as a puppet, as if awaiting a command from the void.
Ye Feng didn't approach immediately. First, he played a piece of music for her.
With a flick of his fingers, an ethereal and mournful melody began to resound throughout the entire world.
[See you in the next world]
"??"
What the hell is that noise?
The Herrscher of the Void's empty eyes finally showed a slight ripple of emotion.
Sensing a presence behind her, she slowly turned around.
"How do you feel now?"
"…"
Seeing the Herrscher of the Void remain silent, Ye Feng pressed on, "You, a little small fry, just ground out the job that the Herrscher of Finality was supposed to do. How does it feel?"
"…"
"I get it. You're too thrilled to even speak. Let's do it again, then."
"?"
Ye Feng stood in the void and raised his hand. The entire world began to flow and reconstruct itself.
A vibrant world of modern human civilization appeared once more.
"Alright, feel free to do as you please."
Ye Feng smiled, then faded from the Herrscher of the Void's sight, leaving her to stare blankly into space.
The Herrscher of the Void remained stunned for a long while before the wings of light on her back began to buzz.
"Do you really think I don't dare?"
A surge of anger appeared in her brilliant golden pupils, but she didn't know at whom this anger was directed.
The Herrscher of the Void flew to the moon and pulled out a gigantic meteor…
---o---
"A meteor bombardment? This trick again?"
Ye Feng watched the Herrscher of the Void's handiwork while eating a watermelon.
This time, she was much more efficient than the first.
The civilization on the planet's surface was once again annihilated.
Ye Feng appeared beside the Herrscher of the Void again.
"How do you feel now?"
"…"
The Herrscher of the Void looked at Ye Feng, still saying nothing.
"Then let's do it again."
"…"
And so, the world was reconstructed once more.
…
...
The Herrscher of the Void didn't know how many times she had annihilated the humans of Earth.
In the end, it was just a mechanical repetition, executing the command to destroy… just like that day when she had her "in-depth exchange" with Ye Feng. Towards the end, her consciousness had grown hazy, and she was just instinctively twisting her hips.
"How do you feel now?"
"…"
The light in the Herrscher of the Void's eyes had faded. She looked like a corporate drone riding the last train home after working overtime.
After countless acts of destruction, she had thought the hatred in her heart would be soothed.
But now… all that remained was a vast emptiness.
"Oh, still not satisfied? Let's do it again, then."
"…"
Those same words again.
The Herrscher of the Void was completely numb to it.
Stop repeating your opening line like you're copy-pasting it! You're scaring this Herrscher!
Are you one of those NPCs who only says the same line no matter how many times you talk to them?
The Herrscher of the Void was already having a stress reaction.
The world replayed itself once more, but this time, the Herrscher of the Void didn't move.
"…"
"Why aren't you moving? Move it."
It was a familiar line, one she seemed to have heard in bed.
But the feeling was completely different.
The light in the Herrscher of the Void's eyes was gone, replaced by emptiness and exhaustion.
Yet she remained as proud and imposing as ever, like a queen surveying the mortal realm.
"I do not need you to teach me how I should act."
"No way, you're bored already? Is your hatred really that shallow? Look at me. To this day, I still love to fuck [BEEP]."
"…"
In the past, she disdained to communicate with people.
But today, the Herrscher of the Void was having the feeling that it was impossible to communicate with this kind of person.
"Then let's take a halftime break. How about destroying a village to whet your appetite?"
"A village? Heh."
The Herrscher of the Void scoffed with disdain.
"Follow me."
Ye Feng generated Sirin's "hometown."
Sirin could no longer remember what her hometown looked like, and by extension, neither could the Herrscher of the Void, who inherited her memories.
But even if she "couldn't remember," that information was still stored in her mind.
It was just like how Otto used the Soulium Avatar to explore the depths of Fu Hua's mind.
Ye Feng extracted this information and [Optimized]it.
He didn't just restore the reality; he made it conform to "Sirin's imagined hometown."
At this moment, the Herrscher of the Void stood on a vast, snow-white plain, looking at a quiet village.
There, she saw Cecilia, who had given her a mother's love, and her little companions from the Babylon Labs…
