Carl was quite curious about the ending of this world. He had done so much, and he still hoped that it would have some effect and make that world a better place.
[Time Elf]: The quest ended rather abruptly. I was playing with Starlight at the time. For details, you should ask Bronya or Spider.
Despite the spider monster's attack, many people chose to stand up and face it, including Starlight. As for Starlight, who had an excessive ideal of justice, Kurumi Tokisaki felt it was necessary to make him face reality as soon as possible.
【Metal Gear Solid Wolf Fang】: The mission went smoothly. When the invasion ended, Vought Corporation attempted a counterattack, but we had prepared videos that were detrimental to them, especially Storm's ball rape, which became the last straw that broke their back at this critical moment.
【Metal Gear Solid Wolf Fang】: Shortly after our video was released, the mission suddenly ended. It seems that the chat group made the decision. We can have a perfect ending even if we don't participate anymore.
Carl understood. It seemed that the mission objectives posted in the chat group were all to make the world a better place. Now that the mission was over, the ending of that world shouldn't be too bad.
[Superman]: I see. Let's see how much reward we can get for what we've done.
Carl opened the notification sent to him in the chat group.
[Mission: The Boys]
Status: Completed
[Task Rewards: 8000 points, one targeted lottery ticket]
When the task was distributed in the chat group before, it was mentioned that there would be a mysterious grand prize, which now seems to be this so-called targeted lottery ticket.
[Superman]: Has anyone seen a targeted lottery ticket?
Carl asked in the group chat that everyone had received the same thing, but no one recognized it; it was the first time anyone had ever seen a raffle ticket.
Fortunately, after Carl clicked on it, he discovered that the lottery ticket, which was an exclusive item in the chat group, had a description accompanying it.
[Targeted lottery ticket: The user designates a world chat with a group member, and one item is randomly drawn from that chat.]
"It's like refreshing the rotation pool and then giving you a free item from it," Carl concluded.
[Time Spirit]: It's quite an interesting item. It can specify the world, but unfortunately, its main effect is still random. If you're unlucky and get a useless one, it's a huge loss.
This is what the group members are most worried about. Everyone wants to get good items and achieve instant success, but statistically speaking, getting junk items is the norm.
Therefore, the choice of world becomes very important. If there are enough magical items in a world, the probability of drawing good items will be relatively high.
【Metal Gear Solid Wolf Fang】: Most of the valuable items in my world are related to Honkai energy and require a price to use, so I'd rather choose Mr. Superman's world.
Bronya used the targeted lottery ticket first, and everyone else temporarily suppressed their desire to draw a prize, wanting to see what Bronya could get first.
A lottery is a game full of possibilities, and it always fills people with anticipation.
Chapter 116 Ring and Mask
Bronya selected the DC world and used the lottery ticket; a box with "dclogo" printed on it quickly appeared on her screen.
Bronya pressed the lock on the box, and with a soft click, the box suddenly opened, and a beam of red light shot into the sky.
In typical lottery games, the flash that appears when you open a box usually determines the quality of the item you get. But now there's no instruction manual or anything, and even though Bronya has played many games, she still can't figure out what the red light means.
Fortunately, the light quickly dissipated, and the item transformed into a shooting star, breaking through the interface and appearing in Bronya's hand in reality.
It was a red ring in a transparent box, with two curved lines and a circle forming a peculiar symbol. Bronya stared at it for a while, and a nameless anger suddenly rose in her heart.
Bronya's memories were stirred up; she recalled the actions of her adoptive mother, who had caused Bronya to be separated from her sister and had even attempted to control her and harm Bronya's friends.
These grievances and disappointments now transformed into anger, driving Bronya to confront her adoptive mother.
Fortunately, the box that came with the chat group seemed to be able to isolate the ring's influence to some extent. In addition, Bronya was used to thinking calmly, so she quickly looked away and put away the box containing the ring.
Bronya was slightly out of breath, and there was a little sweat on her forehead.
When the group members noticed that she hadn't spoken for a while, they started asking her questions.
[Superman]: Bronya, what did you draw? Or did something happen? If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask.
It felt good to be cared for. Bronya composed herself, regained her usual calm demeanor, and began typing in the group chat.
【Metal Gear: Bronya's Fang】: It's a red ring. If Bronya isn't mistaken, it should be the Red Lantern Ring.
A red light ring? Karl was somewhat surprised; that wasn't a good thing.
The spectrum of emotions is divided into seven colors, with the colors closer to the extremes being stronger. However, the emotions they represent also become more extreme. Red light, as one of the extremes, represents the emotion of anger.
The Red Light Ring does grant immense power, that's true, but its side effects are also outrageously severe.
[Superman]: Bronya, you must never try to wear it. The Red Light Ring is different from other rings. It will drain your heart and blood, replacing them with endless rage. Once it is removed, the host will die, which means you will be trapped in boundless anger for the rest of your life.
Karl offered a reminder, worried that Bronya might forget the red light setting and hastily put on the ring, which would probably prevent her from speaking in the future.
【Metal Gear Brontë】: Don't worry, Superman, Bronya remembers the price and won't use it. Uncontrollable power is meaningless; it will only lead you astray from your goals.
Bronya's clear head relieved the group members.
[Doctor]: This is really dangerous. As expected, powerful items always come with harsh conditions for use. I originally wanted to draw the lottery right away, but now it seems I should wait until Miss Meryl finishes talking about the horoscope before drawing.
The doctor didn't think he was particularly lucky and planned to try again on an auspicious day to avoid drawing a dangerous item like Bronya did.
【Time Spirit】: Doctor, do you still believe in horoscopes and such? Oh, wait, your world has magic, maybe horoscopes really do exist.
[Time Spirit]: But I don't have it in my world, so I'll just draw it directly.
Kurumi Tokisaki also used a lottery ticket. The world she chose was also the DC world, not for any other reason than that this world had more items, which was enough for her.
The box marked "dclogo" was opened by Tokisaki Kurumi, and the item burst out of the screen with a rainbow of light, landing in Tokisaki Kurumi's hands.
"A mask?" Tokisaki Kurumi looked at the item in her hand with a puzzled expression. She had seen some DC comics in the chat group before, but she still couldn't recognize the mask in front of her.
"Looks like it's not anything famous? I'll ask in the group." Tokisaki Kurumi muttered to herself.
After listening to Kurumi Tokisaki's description, Bronya indicated that she needed more clues.
[Metal Gear Cloth Wolf Fang]: There are too many masks in the DC world. It's hard for us to identify them just by talking about them. Please send us a picture.
Soon after, Tokisaki Kurumi uploaded a screenshot to the group chat. When everyone clicked on it, it showed a golden mask.
Karl compared the information with his memories and quickly came to the answer.
[Superman]: This is the mask of the Mind Pirate, also known as the Medusa mask.
[Doctor]: Medusa? Could it be that this thing can turn anyone who sees it to stone?
The doctor was well-versed in myths and legends from all over the world, and he quickly connected them to the story of the famous Greek myth. In fact, there was a Medusa in his hometown.
[Superman]: Unlike in mythology, this mask is used to influence other people's emotions. Psychological pirates often use this to create chaos.
Carl explained the true purpose of the mask.
[Time Spirit]: Why is it this type of item again?
[Superman]: Again?
[Time Spirit]: No, it's nothing.
Kurumi Tokisaki brushed it off and then put the mask into her shadow space.
"San San, you don't look well. What happened?" At this moment, a white-haired woman in the room gently inquired about her condition.
Kurumi Tokisaki had a strange expression. She hadn't figured out how to deal with the other person's fake enthusiasm. She kept telling herself that this was something she had to do to save the world.
Meanwhile, the discussion in the chat group continued.
[Metal Gear Solid Wolf Fang]: Sister Gan Yu seems to be working overtime and will miss this chat. Superman, what about you? Why don't you try your luck at winning a prize?
[Superman]: No rush, the prize ticket is right here, it's not going anywhere.
Carl looked at the lottery tickets in his inventory, still undecided which world's item he wanted to choose.
Unlike his fellow group members, most of the items were useless to him. Karl didn't think he had any luck to draw any truly overpowered items, and since he wasn't short of kryptonite right now, he was still comparing which world to choose.
【Metal Gear: Bronya】: Okay, but this way Bronya won't be able to see your lottery draw.
[Superman]: Why is it the same no matter how many times I watch it later?
【Metal Gear: Bronya】: Because the bishop of Schicksal wants to summon Bronya, Bronya is considering whether to go or not. If she doesn't go, she will have no choice but to defect.
Chapter 117 Farewell
Aside from Karl, everyone else was confused about Bronya's meaning. Wasn't Schicksal the organization she belonged to? Why would she be preparing to defect after being summoned by the boss?
【Metal Gear: Bronya】: Bronya used to be an Anti-Entropy organization and was an enemy of Schicksal. During a mission, she joined Schicksal by chance. Although I now consider them friends, it is only limited to the Far East Branch.
Karl recalled his memories: Destiny was a church-like organization, and its bishop, Otto, had lived for over 500 years and was a shrewd and calculating man.
[Doctor]: So you think he discovered your true identity and wants to harm you?
【Metal Gear Brontë】: No, if he was going to find out, he would have found out long ago. It wouldn't have taken two or three years. Bronya suspects that he probably already knew about the chat group.
Bronya was the only one in the group who had to worry about this; everyone else was openly using the power of the chat group.
The world of doctors has been struck by a great disaster. The survivors are now a united front, and when it comes to saving humanity, people only care about whether chat groups can provide any help.
In Gan Yu's world, there's no reason to be surprised by things from another world. Moreover, Gan Yu has a high social status, so others just assume that she found some rare item.
Kurumi Tokisaki used to be a lone wolf; even if a dead man told her, no one would believe him.
As for Karl, no one dared to pry into his situation.
[Superman]: Bronya, what are your plans? Are you going to leave your friends decisively?
Karl really hoped that Bronya would choose to see Otto, because that way she would likely encounter danger but not die directly, and would have time to ask him for help, thus allowing Karl to open the map of the Honkai world.
The Honkai world is fraught with dangerous disasters, but for Karl, that world is actually quite good because the disasters brought about by the Honkai are limited.
It's like a heavenly tribulation in the world of cultivation, except it's for civilization. If you can't overcome it, everything comes to an end, but if you can, you'll have a bright future.
【Metal Gear: Bronya】: Bronya doesn't want to leave her friends either, but I only told a few people about the existence of the chat group. If the Archbishop of Schicksal already knows about the chat group, it means that either there is a mole among those few people, or the seemingly free Far East Branch is actually being monitored by the other side.
Karl knew the truth was that both were true, with the main purpose being to monitor Kiana. However, this was not important for the time being. Since Bronya was making this analysis, she probably didn't intend to stay in Schicksal, and Karl had no suitable reason to persuade her otherwise.
[Superman]: Judging from your words, you're probably preparing to leave. Have you thought about where you'll go next?
【Metal Gear Solid Bronya】: Bronya hasn't made up her mind yet. I don't want to stay in Schicksal for the time being, nor do I want to go back to Anti-Entropy. Let me set a goal for myself first: to find Seele.
Bronya was just betrayed by Anti-Entropy's foster mother, so even if she wanted to go back, now is not the right time.
[Superman]: Hmm, you've always been very rational, and I believe you can make the right judgments. However, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. Things are peaceful here right now, and there's no fighting.
【Metal Gear: Bronya】: Thank you, Superman, Bronya understands.
After ending the chat, Bronya got up and went to Dean Theresa's office. Although she was already planning to leave, Bronya decided to say goodbye so that everyone wouldn't worry.
