I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

"Headmaster, are you there? Bronya has something to tell you."

Bronya had just lowered her hand from the door when it opened, indicating that the other person had been at the door the moment before.

Theresa, who was about the same height as Bronya, asked with some surprise, "Bronya, what brings you here? Did you already know?"

"Know what?"

Now it was Bronya's turn to be puzzled. She knew that what the other party was talking about was definitely not the matter of the Archbishop of Schicksal summoning her, because that was not a secret, and many Valkyries knew about it.

Theresa explained, "I was just about to talk to you about this, so you should prepare yourself."

Theresa took a breath: "Actually, the Destiny Headquarters just decided to send people to retrieve the Gem of Desire."

The desire for the gem is the core of the Herrscher of the Wind. It was for this reason that Bronya's adoptive mother, Cocolia, betrayed Bronya, causing her brain damage and leaving her in a coma for a long time.

In other words, the Gem of Desire is currently in Cocolia's hands, and Destiny's intention to reclaim the gem means that it will attack Cocolia.

“I think she is, after all, your adoptive mother, and you have the right to know about this.” Theresa asked with some concern when Bronya didn’t respond. “Are you alright, Bronya?”

Bronya said, "Bronya is alright, thank you for telling me this, Headmaster."

"Are you really alright? I have a feeling you're going to rescue her."

The scale of Anti-Entropy is much smaller than that of Destiny, and it has not been established for long. Cocolia, whose base location has been exposed, has no chance of defeating Destiny.

Bronya said, "That's what Bronya was just about to say. I'm planning to go back to Anti-Entropy."

Theresa sighed. She knew Bronya was a sentimental person who would even burn the chip in her brain to protect her friends. Even though her adoptive mother had hurt her, the kindness of raising her for more than ten years was not so easy to sever. It was just that this matter was too dangerous.

“Bronya, are you really going to risk your life for her? Is it worth it? And what good will it do to go back alone against Schicksal’s army? The Far East Branch can’t provide any support.” Theresa tried to dissuade her.

But Bronya smiled and said, "That's good, Mom... Ikolia has done a lot of terrible things to everyone, so Bronya can go alone."

“If we miss this opportunity, Bronya may never see her again. Bronya wants to see her one more time and there are many things she wants to confirm with her.”

"As for safety, Headmaster, you don't need to worry. You know that Bronya now has the ability to travel to other worlds. Even if she can't win, she can still run away in an emergency."

Theresa completely understood Bronya's thinking. She had done similar things before, and since there was no safety concern, she had no reason to stop Bronya.

"Alright, but aren't you going to say goodbye to Kiana and the others before you leave?"

"No need. Saying it will only add to the sadness, and this is Bronya's private matter, it has nothing to do with them."

Bronya made her stance clear: she didn't want her friends to worry about her willful behavior, so she was prepared to leave.

Finally, Theresa said, "Bronya, Destiny may be your enemy, but St. Freya Academy will always welcome you."

"Yes, Bronya knows."

Chapter 118 Eye of the Abyss

Bronya left St. Freya Academy quietly at night, then used a chat group to arrange a helicopter and flew towards the Pacific Ocean.

Three days later, having received advance notice and traveling light, Bronya arrived at her destination—Sea Abyss City—before the arrival of Schicksal's army.

Honkai is a disaster that targets civilizations; the stronger the civilization, the stronger it becomes. Honkai existed before Bronya and her civilization was born. At that time, there was also a civilization that fought against Honkai, but ultimately failed and disappeared into the annals of history.

However, the previous civilization left behind many legacies that have profoundly influenced the modern world. Abyss City is one of them. It was originally a base of the previous civilization and is now under the control of Cocolia.

"So we're back here again."

Bronya didn't have a good impression of this place. In the laboratory in Abyss City, her dearest sister disappeared into the Sea of ​​Quanta. In order to find her, Bronya lost her legs and the ability to express emotions. At this time, Bronya's fate changed dramatically.

As Bronya hovered above the sea, reminiscing about the past, a submarine surfaced; it was sent by people from the base to pick her up.

Sea Abyss City is located on the seabed, making it inaccessible by ordinary means. This is why this base, far from the Anti-Entropy headquarters, has been able to exist for so long.

Bronya dived into the deep-sea base, a blue castle located in the sea, which was like a crystal palace from mythology, full of a dreamlike feeling, but Bronya's bad memories prevented her from appreciating the beauty of the place.

Bronya soon entered the base, where she was greeted by her adoptive mother, Cocolia.

“Bronya, welcome home,” Cocolia said warmly.

Bronya responded coldly: "Although Bronya has returned here, it doesn't mean Bronya will forgive you."

“You manipulated the chip in Bronya’s brain, forcing her to hurt her friends. Bronya will never forget these things.”

"..." Cocolia softened her voice and said, "It's because Mom is impatient. Mom just doesn't want to miss the opportunity to capture a Herrscher. You know, as long as the research on the Herrscher goes smoothly..."

“Bronya doesn’t know!” Bronya interrupted her loudly. “Bronya doesn’t know. How can you do such a thing and still say such things with a clear conscience? How can you act like nothing happened? You liar!”

“…Since that’s what you think, then so be it.” Cocolia couldn’t find the words to argue.

The mother and daughter's reunion ended unhappily.

"Bronya once trusted you so much."

After leaving those words, Bronya went into the base alone, choosing to find out what was going on from the others.

Soon, Bronya encountered her former orphanage companions at the base. They were twin sisters with inhuman horns and tails, clearly having undergone some kind of genetic modification.

After a brief reminiscing, the two sisters, one in pink and one in blue, quickly pulled Bronya aside and started talking about what happened here.

The two sisters didn't know much either, but Bronya had hacking skills, and by combining the two, she finally figured out the current situation.

Cocolia already knew that Schicksal would send someone over, and logically, this was the opportunity to transfer the Gem of Desire, but she did not do so. Instead, she threw the Gem of Desire into the Eye of the Abyss.

The Eye of the Abyss is the most important equipment in Abyss City, capable of connecting to the Sea of ​​Quanta, which is why her sister underwent experiments here back then.

But as the saying goes, when in doubt, quantum mechanics and anything related to quantum mechanics are not so easy to operate, and human research on it is still in the exploratory stage.

In other words, entering or exiting the Eye of the Abyss is extremely difficult, and Bronya cannot understand Cocolia's purpose in doing so.

But she didn't want to ask directly, so she had to investigate on her own.

With her superb hacking skills, Bronya overcame numerous verifications and arrived at the Eye of the Abyss, the center of Abyss City.

This place is like a giant well, and Bronya stands beside the wellhead, below which is a huge whirlpool that leads to the Sea of ​​Quanta.

The vortex's beautiful colors were captivating, but Bronya immediately sensed something was wrong; the vortex was gradually expanding, which was very abnormal.

Normally, the Eye of the Abyss should be closed, and even Cocolia hasn't found a stable way to open it, but at this moment it seems to be opening on its own.

Bronya immediately activated the enemy detection mode on the Heavy Bunny, and sure enough, she quickly spotted the suspicious individuals hiding there.

An unidentified person wearing a black uniform and a mask.

"You've been discovered! But little girl, you're a bit late. The Eye of the Abyss has already been activated!"

Bronya pointed the massive cannon at him: "Who are you? What is your purpose?!"

At the same time, piercing alarms began to sound throughout the base, and less than a minute later, Cocolia arrived at the scene with a squad of Titan mechs.

She seemed to recognize the masked man, and immediately called out his name: "Grey Snake, I need an explanation."

"We agreed that I would give you the Gem of Desire, and you would bring me Seele. Now you're trying to steal the gem ahead of time. Are the people of the World Serpent really this despicable?"

“Seele…” Bronya repeated subconsciously.

Grey Serpent smiled indifferently: "Since we've been discovered, there's nothing more to say. Cooperation can only be discussed on an equal footing. If you can't even protect your own bargaining chips, how can you expect your partners to feel at ease?"

"Nonsense!" Cocolia roared. "You think you can take the Gem of Desire right under my nose? Do you think my Anti-Entropy mechs are just for show?"

The gray snake continued unhurriedly, "Who said my goal was to retrieve the Gem of Desire?"

These words surprised both Cocolia and Bronya. If it wasn't because they wanted the gems, then what was it for?

The gray snake offered no explanation, only saying, "You should worry about yourselves first. The Eye of the Abyss will attract a lot of guests."

Cocolia ordered the mechs to open fire, shattering Gray Serpent's body into pieces.

But she couldn't be happy at all, because she had received news that all the Honkai Beasts in the Pacific Ocean were gathering towards Abyss City.

"Damn it!" Cocolia gritted her teeth. "At this point, we have no choice but to abandon Abyss City. Bronya, let's evacuate together!"

Bronya didn't act immediately, but asked, "What about the Eye of the Abyss?"

Cocolia explained, "Don't worry, although we don't know what method he used, maintaining the Eye of the Abyss requires a lot of energy, and it will automatically shut down soon. However, that time is enough for us to die several times over, so we must evacuate."

Bronya analyzed the situation. If she left now, Abyss City would definitely be occupied by Honkai Beasts or Destiny, and she might not be able to return.

Through the conversation just now, Bronya realized that her sister Seele was waiting for her down there. The two had been separated for too long, and now the opportunity to reunite was right in front of them.

Bronya touched the red light ring in her pocket and decided not to wait any longer.

"Cocolia's mother, you go first. Bronya will come back on her own."

After saying that, Bronya jumped towards the Eye of the Abyss.

Bronya!

Cocolia tried to reach out and grab her, but Bronya was too close and fell into the vortex in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 119 Deep into the Ocean

Bronya still had no idea what the Sea of ​​Quanta was, because she had not yet actually entered it.

After Bronya jumped into the Eye of the Abyss, she directly encountered Welt, the long-lost leader of Anti-Entropy. It was because of the leader's disappearance that Cocolia did many things that challenged the bottom line without any scruples, such as cooperating with the World Serpent.

Getting back to the main point, Walter considered Bronya's character for a while before explaining the current situation.

He is here to prevent the "giant serpent" in the Sea of ​​Quanta from entering the real world. To this end, he used the power of the Herrscher of Reason to set up a barrier between the Sea of ​​Quanta and reality.

Bronya said, "I see. The other party has already obtained the Gem of Desire. Gray Serpent opened the Eye of the Abyss to make it easier for him to get out, but he didn't expect that he would be stopped by the Alliance Leader."

“My main body has reached its limit and is no match for the snake no matter what. In the last moments of his life, he used the power of the Herrscher to create the world bubble labyrinth you just experienced and left me behind, but now the labyrinth won’t last much longer either,” said the clone Welt.

The power of a Herrscher is not something that humans should possess. Welt Yang gained the power of a Herrscher by obtaining the core of the previous Herrscher of Reason, Welt Joyce, but without the identity of a Herrscher, he had to endure the erosion of the core.

This erosion is extremely severe and beyond the scope of modern medicine's treatment capabilities. Even if the body recovers to a healthy state, the core erosion cannot be alleviated.

Walter, who had been using the core for years, was in a serious condition where he would cough up blood from time to time. He knew that he couldn't stop the snake in this state and urgently needed someone to take his place.

“Bronya, you have passed the test of the labyrinth and I believe you will not abuse the Herrscher Core, so I hope you can stop the snake in my place.”

Bronya understood the gravity of the situation and said, "Stop it? Maybe we can just eliminate it."

Walter, the clone, was puzzled.

"Before that, Bronya would like to ask, when Bronya was undergoing the trial in the labyrinth just now, she saw Seele, what happened?"

In the Sea of ​​Quanta, there exists a world that exists between reality and illusion, which, like a bubble, may dissipate at any moment, hence the name World Bubble. Bronya's trial took place in the World Bubble created by Welt, where she met her long-lost sister.

The clone Walter said, "Seele? That girl is an outsider who has wandered into the labyrinth. She seems to have the ability to travel through the Sea of ​​Quanta, but she can't control it very well. You should be able to meet her later."
