To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

"...I'm sorry, Mother Cocolia, Bronya chose to save Seele in her own way!"

Calculating the time, Bronya resolutely looked up and said.

"Bang--"

Just then, Rosalia and Lilia collapsed on the table. Xing immediately pulled out her scythe and looked at Bronya with surprise and doubt. Suddenly, she touched her head and felt dizzy as well.

"..." Cocolia looked at Bronya, a hint of sadness in her eyes, "Why?"

Bronya doesn't want to rescue Seele using the experimental Herrscher Gem. Since... there's a better way, and besides, Mother Cocolia, things here can't hold out much longer, can they?

Bronya surveyed her surroundings. Under the relentless pursuit of Destiny, Cocolia's situation was not good.

"Hmph! If Gray Serpent hadn't suddenly changed his mind... how could this have happened?" Cocolia said discontentedly, staring coldly at Bronya and mockingly retorting.

"Bronya, you've really grown up. You're using the methods I taught you to poison your own sister? Is this all you've learned outside?"

"And a better way? Are you sure you're not being scammed?"

"Bronya won't be fooled! Besides, it's just a matter of knocking them out."

Bronya stared at the still-standing Xing and the sneering Cocolia, her hand also reaching for a weapon.

"Useless to me? Surprised?" A sickly, manic look appeared on Xing's face.

"Go, Anne, let Bronya see the results of your training."

"This farce—it should end now!" At this moment, a seductive voice suddenly appeared on the screen, and Rita looked elegantly at everyone.

"Thank you, Miss Bronya, for presenting me with such a wonderful show. Now, it's the maid's turn to clean up the mess!"

As he spoke, he gracefully landed on the ground and drew the sickle from his back.

"How are you two?"

With her bangs slanted to the side, covering one eye, Rita gave a slight bow and spoke.

Chapter 40: Has Sister Tazi messed up again?

The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.

Rita moved closer to Bronya; the bishop wouldn't allow anything to happen to her.

Cocolia glanced at the two of them and sneered, "You two think you can kidnap me in my own base?"

"Oh dear, it seems the enforcers of Anti-Entropy look down on me, an S-rank Valkyrie!" Rita chuckled, her hands slightly folded in a very polite manner.

"However, I have great respect for Miss Cocolia! I already issued a request for reinforcements a while ago. I wonder if Anti-Entropy, or rather, the radical faction of Anti-Entropy, can withstand Schicksal's full-scale attack?"

"Hmph!" Cocolia didn't reply, but turned to Bronya and said, "Bronya, I trust you so much!"

Bronya paused for a moment, glanced at Rita with a questioning look, and calmly said:

“She wasn’t sent by Bronya! Of course, whether Mom believes it or not is no longer important.”

"In short, Bronya won't let you continue, Mom. Stop it now!"

Cocolia didn't speak, but instead raised her hand, and several tactical mechs rushed out from the side.

"Although I have no objections,"

Rita glanced at the two people slumped on the table beside her and said in a seemingly casual tone, "But accidentally hurting these two wouldn't be a good idea, would it?"

"Hmph!" After considering the situation, Cocolia stopped the mecha's movements.

Xing, standing to the side, looked furious and eager to try, showing no intention of stopping.

"Let me try out the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny!"

Xing, wielding a sickle, charged forward, the sickle spinning as she thrust it straight at Rita.

Rita's expression remained unchanged as she drew her scythe to block.

"clang--"

Instead, it was Xing who was forced back, her feet leaving two white marks on the ground.

"It seems you're not as strong as you say!" Rita said with a smile, looking at Xing.

"Don't be so smug!" Xing snorted coldly and charged forward again.

Unlike her previous brute force, this time her movements were much more agile, with each attack carrying some reserve of power.

"Oh? Want to try again?" Rita responded with ease and elegance, deflecting all the attacks.

Suddenly, during the battle, Rita felt that Annie's movements were several times faster.

She frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong, and used her scythe to parry the attack.

But Xing's moves changed instantly, and Rita's weapon couldn't keep up. She quickly retreated, glancing sideways and looking down, only to find that the hem of her clothes had been ripped.

Holding her weapon and panting heavily, Xing looked at Rita, who had retreated, and sneered, "S-rank Valkyrie? Seems rather ordinary."

Rita quickly recalled what had just happened, and Xing suddenly accelerated, almost reaching the speed of Lady Durandal.

But her power... it shouldn't be like this," Rita lowered her gaze thoughtfully.

She seemed to have realized what was going on; it wasn't that she had become faster, but rather that she had become slower.

“Your power is indeed quite special!” Rita said to Xing with a serious look in her eyes.

"Stop talking big!" Xing said, forcing a smile.

Even using the power of the Stigmata suddenly didn't achieve the desired results, and she knew that it would be difficult for her to defeat Rita.

Cocolia's eyes flickered; she was still unwilling to surrender.

She secretly pressed the start button under her clothes while speaking gently to Bronya.

"Bronya, no matter what, they are your sisters. Please put them away properly, okay?"

Bronya didn't reply. She slowly stepped forward, carefully moving the two of them apart, her eyes constantly fixed on Cocolia opposite her.

Meanwhile, Xing and Rita clashed again. Even though Xing used the effects of the Stigmata several times, she failed to make any progress and was instead suppressed by Rita all the way.

Cocolia and the mecha beside her remained motionless, as if waiting for something.

After placing the two in the corner, Bronya thought for a moment, then decisively pulled out her gun and shot Cocolia in the leg.

Bronya, you!

Cocolia was both surprised and furious; she hadn't expected Bronya to be so decisive.

"Mom, are you waiting for rescue?"

Bronya slowly approached, warily observing the situation around her.

Finding the right angle, he decisively fired two more shots, breaking through the weak points of the nearby mechs and destroying their power units.

"You really put all the knowledge I taught you to use!"

Cocolia said weakly, supporting herself with one hand on the ground, as she looked at Bronya who was slowly approaching.

“Cocolia’s mother…”

“However, Bronya, you’d better watch out this time!” Cocolia suddenly laughed.

"W-what?"

Bronya suddenly felt a heavy force descend upon her, almost crushing her body, and she collapsed to the ground from the air.

She lay on the ground, struggling to open her eyes, and could barely make out two people wearing black trench coats and hoods, people she had never seen before.

Compared to Bronya, Rita is clearly the 'priority target'.

Just as the two were fighting, she suddenly felt a strong gravity, which made her change her movements and scratched her clothes.

However, compared to Annie, who was fighting until her clothes were tattered, Rita remained elegant throughout.

Fortunately, Xing and the mysterious man who appeared did not cooperate. If he had suddenly attacked at that moment, it wouldn't have just been a tear in her clothes.

Rita looked at the two people who had appeared and was surprised.

As far as she knew, only the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance had this ability to control gravity.

"Hmph, this technology was obtained from another organization."

Cocolia, clutching the wound on her leg and ignoring the flowing blood, slowly stood up and sneered.

"So, how does the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny feel?"

"And you, Bronya, why did you betray me?"

“Because…Mom, your plan was never simply to save Seele!” Bronya said.

"Hmph!" Cocolia didn't argue.

She pointed the gun at Rita and pulled the trigger.

Rita raised her scythe to block it.

But it was visibly that her movements were much slower than before.

Cocolia frowned slightly upon seeing this, but if the strength of the replica were increased further, it might collapse.

Grey Serpent helped her solve the problems of replicas and chip command, but he no longer cared about the strength. In return, he took Wendy's experimental data.

To be honest, she thought the other party wanted the Tranquility Gem, so she kept it hidden, but the other party never mentioned it.

"Xing, how are you?"

"Mom, I'm okay!"

Xing shook her head, intending to stand up, but even with the sickle as a support, she could only stand up with difficulty, swaying unsteadily.

Cocolia remained silent, then waved her hand, signaling the two replicas to increase their intensity.

As gravity intensified, one of the replicas began to disintegrate, and the effects were quite significant.

Rita needed to lean on her weapon to stand, and was basically powerless to resist the bullets.

The situation has reversed once again.
