"Ha! What? Coward, you finally dare to face me?" A haughty, icy voice echoed in my mind.

Mei's hand holding the knife trembled, and the Honkai Beast in front of her was momentarily unable to defend itself. Fortunately, it was only in the training room and dissipated when the trainee's physical condition was assessed.

The match clearly ended in Kiana's victory. Mei clenched her fists and forced a smile at Kiana.

"Speaking of which, Kiana, I'll go back to the dorm first."

"Oh, okay." Kiana was a little surprised, but Mei would usually go back to prepare lunch at this time. Thinking of Mei's meals, Kiana's stomach growled.

She wiped her mouth, looked at the Honkai Beast, her eyes sharpening again, and began training.

"I will never let such a thing happen. This is my promise, Kiana Kaslana!"

With a beautiful flying kick, the cat's claw that appeared in mid-air shattered the Honkai Beast.

She wiped her sweat and smiled with satisfaction.

Mei rushed back to her dorm, her eyes filled with tension and fear. She roused herself and...

She thought she had the resolve to face her head, but a nagging fear still crept into her heart.

"So, you've finally agreed to come out and see me?"

"Who is it that's afraid to face the other party? Coward." The voice held a hint of disdain.

Mei took a deep breath. "Can we... have a proper talk?"

"You just want my power, don't you? What's there to talk about?"

Mei shook her head. She had spent the last few weeks reflecting on how to start a conversation with the other person, and also pondering their personality.

And along with those unwanted memories, and the conversation with the unleashed Thunder Dragon Horse,

Raiden Ryoma had told her more than once that her personality had changed a lot, through conversations with her father.

She discovered a major problem—she had misremembered her timeline.

"From beginning to end, everyone, including myself, believed you were a Herrscher consciousness..."

"Who else could I be?" The voice sounded somewhat amused, as if it contained a mocking tone.

"Then...why do I remember you didn't appear before that Conquest Gem? You should have appeared much earlier!" Mei said, her voice trembling slightly.

"..."

"What else? Who do you think I am?" The voice seemed to become helpless, but it still carried aloofness.

"Sorry, I don't know."

"Is it that you don't know, or... are you still running away? Think about it carefully, Raiden... Mei."

...

"Bronya, is Cocolia...Mom here?" Seele hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue calling her that.

"Hmm! Anti-Entropy's underground base is right here, it should be right in front of us," Bronya said, looking at the tall buildings rising from the ground, with the words "Anti-Entropy" prominently displayed on them.

Her lips twitched slightly. When did Anti-Entropy build such a tall building in Destiny? Have Destiny and Anti-Entropy really become one family?

Seele was also somewhat surprised and quickly asked, "It seems that the game isn't entirely true! Destiny and Anti-Entropy coexist harmoniously on the same island."

"Headmistress Theresa deserves some credit for this; she...did indeed help a lot." Bronya couldn't explain further and could only downplay it.

Hmm, hopefully Seele won't keep asking Headmistress Theresa any more questions!

Seele's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected that small figure to be so strong, making such an important contribution.

To be honest, when I first met him and learned who he was, I underestimated him a little.

After all, with that kind of figure, everyone would think it's a cute little kid, right?

The two quickly entered the Anti-Entropy base, explained their purpose, and were then led to Tesla and Dr. Einstein.

"Unfortunately, if you're looking for Cocolia, she's just been taken away." Tesla's words were sharp and provocative from the start.

Einstein tapped her on the shoulder to signal her to pay attention, and she said, "Cocolia can take you there anytime; it's not far down here."

Seeing the slight worry in Bronya's eyes, she nodded gently and said, "Don't worry, she's...doing quite well."

"Your condition is not bad; you look even better than when you brought you in," Tesla said, somewhat disgruntled.

"You? Do you mean Bronya?"

Seele glanced at her sister beside her, never expecting that her sister in real life had also betrayed Cocolia's mother.

"For Seele, it's all worth it!" Bronya said without changing her expression.

She wouldn't normally say that, but she might have been influenced by the same-sex relationship strategies she's been studying recently.

Where is it? .jpg

Chapter 16 Motorcycles are, after all, just a means of transportation!

Upon hearing Bronya's conversation, Tesla and Einstein exchanged somewhat strange glances.

Seele was deeply moved, a blush spreading across her face. She hid behind Bronya, her shy expression touching Bronya.

Yes, a great success!

Bronya thought to herself calmly that her efforts had not been in vain.

Einstein coughed, breaking the atmosphere that had just been filled with pink bubbles. "Bronya, our Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader wishes to see you."

“Although you belong to Cocolia’s faction, you are still part of Anti-Entropy. It’s not too late for you to go listen to her before you go see Cocolia,” Tesla said from the side. Her harsh tone was mainly due to her dissatisfaction with Cocolia, not with Bronya.

Bronya thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then asked, "More than that, Bronya wants to know about Annie, Rosalia, and Lilia. Are they alright?"

“Cocolia is alright, they must be alright,” Tesla said, recounting the events to Bronya.

"However, that Xing always tries to run away. She suffered a backlash from her ability and was injured. She got much better after we took her to see Cocolia. Rosalia and Lilia are too noisy. Moreover, when we checked the records, they didn't do anything bad. In fact, they ruined several of Cocolia's plans."

Tesla's expression was somewhat strange, clearly wondering why someone like Cocolia would still keep them with her. Perhaps she truly cared for those children?

"In short, you can take them away anytime you want, or rather, please take them away as soon as possible!"

Einstein also spoke up, and the two of them agreed that the two were making too much noise, and if this continued, the entire base would not be able to have peace. Moreover, the two of them had not done anything wrong.

Since they keep clamoring to see Cocolia's mother and Bronya's sister, let's just leave them to Bronya.

Bronya hesitated for a moment. She wanted to continue enjoying her time with Seele and didn't want to be raising a child prematurely.

This completely affects my performance!

But honestly, could I really not bring it out?

After Cocolia was arrested, the burden of the orphanage fell on her shoulders. At least they all called her "older sister"!

After Bronya agreed to take the two of them with her before leaving, the two doctors led Bronya and Seele to the room where Welt was.

The man in the room didn't resemble the high-ranking leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance; rather, he seemed more like a simple, unassuming middle-aged man. He was holding a book, resting and reading at the same time.

Even in a clean blue and white patient gown, his tall and straight figure was still accentuated, and his glasses added a touch of intellectualism and gentleness to his appearance.

Compared to Yang in the game's world bubble, the person in front of him seemed more like an ordinary person, unremarkable.

Bronya glanced at the book cover instinctively; it was an introduction to mechanical manufacturing. Next to it were other books on modern missile weapon structures, gun illustrations, and so on. Clearly, he never forgot to improve his basic qualities as a Herrscher of Reason.

"Ahem—" The man covered his mouth with his hand, coughed twice, put down the book in his hand, and looked at the group of people who had arrived, his eyes full of scrutiny.

He had met several people in the Sea of ​​Quanta, but the most recent one was from the game just now.

He actually had a tablet hidden under the blanket to watch the plot, but he hid it when he heard the knock on the door and picked up a book to improve his image.

His latest gaze fell on Seele, who looked somewhat timid and had huddled behind Bronya.

Compared to the girl in the game, she now exudes an air of authority; her hair is longer and tied back, and the most noticeable change is in her pupils.

He thought for a moment, then waved his hand, signaling Einstein and Tesla to go out first. The two exchanged a glance and went out first.

When only three people remained in the room,

Yang looked into Seele's eyes, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The black and white scales in her pupils confirmed once again that his memories were not wrong. Now, she was indeed a Herrscher, a Herrscher with a clear mind.

He stared at Seele for a while, and after confirming that she had no violent tendencies, he apologized.

"I'm sorry, I was too hasty back then. It seems she can indeed accept the power of a Herrscher. Perhaps I've been out of touch with the world for too long, and it's hard to imagine that Herrschers could coexist with humans." He spoke with a touch of emotion and sincerity.

Bronya frowned but didn't say anything. Seele tugged at her sleeve and said worriedly, "Sister Bronya..."

"No one is careless when facing an unknown Herrscher. Bronya is more curious about why you called Bronya over."

The words came out calmly and matter-of-factly. Yang scrutinized her for a moment, then sighed.

"As you can see, my body cannot support me using the power of the Herrscher of Reason for long, but Anti-Entropy... no, humanity still needs this power to fight against the Honkai."

"What Bronya doesn't understand is, why did you choose Bronya?"

Although Bronya wanted the gem more than once after watching the video, she knew she hadn't passed his test yet; that was just her in-game self.

Yang remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. Slowly, he spoke:

"To be honest, I don't know why, but Ein and the others think that game has a lot of reference value. Moreover, the inheritance of the Herrscher of Reason's core is not a trivial matter. It may not only result in the sacrifice of the candidates, but may also lead to the destruction of a city."

"If that game really represents you in a parallel world, then it means you must also have that kind of talent."

“No, that’s not the main reason,” Bronya said calmly, unmoved.

"After I returned, I had a formal consultation with Destiny on behalf of Anti-Entropy. She values ​​this game very much."

"After the two sides no longer had major conflicts, Anti-Entropy had no intention of going to war with Destiny. However, considering the current situation of confrontation over the years and the potential of humanity in the struggle, we decided to postpone the formal merger."

Bronya was somewhat tempted. Judging from Welt Young's various actions, he might be a bit reckless in his fight against the Honkai, but he wouldn't lie about such things.

"So, must Bronya become the Herrscher of Reason?"

“That depends on you,” Yang said calmly, pushing up his glasses. “Bronya, your thoughts and will.”

“Bronya understands.” She nodded gently. “Bronya has decided to give it a try.”

From her own perspective, both the instructions in the game and the promises of greater power pointed to this path.

On the other hand, it's also good for the orphanage faction, as it soothes the radical sentiments, and further afield, it allows her relationship with Destiny to become closer while she's studying at St. Freya.

"In that case, you should make time to come here every day from now on."

Yang said, then paused, "You can also take these books and take a look. These are available on the market. After you finish reading these, you'll learn about the latest weapon structures from Anti-Entropy."
