Playful! Collapse!

The fact that Rosalia and Lilia were injured did make her a little sad, but now the girl felt more relieved.

With Anti-Entropy's current technology, as long as they are not broken into pieces by those villains, it is only a matter of time before their bodies recover.

As for the mental problems that arose from the torture...

Bronya had only one thought about this situation.

You are not defeated as long as you are alive.

Very good, now all that’s missing is Xier.

As long as Xier can be found and rescued, then...

"This is it, Freya."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Yuno-nee."

At this moment, Bronya, who was missing her companions, suddenly heard the voice she had been thinking about day and night.

Ha, I've become weaker.

I used to be able to carry out my tasks diligently, but now, after working for a while, I'm hallucinating due to excessive fatigue.

It was a miracle that Rosalia and Lilia were rescued so quickly.

After closing her eyes and rubbing her brows, Bronya opened her eyes and saw the figure she missed so much standing outside the open door.

"Bronya, I heard this kid say she's your acquaintance, so I brought her here..."

Yuno wanted to continue talking, but after seeing the look of disbelief on the girl's face, she suddenly shut up.

And now, she could feel that after the two girls met, the atmosphere on the scene became such that no one else could interfere.

After realizing this, Yuno, who had kept her mouth shut, took the initiative to move forward and handed the scene over to the two people who had reunited after a long separation.

The two people at the scene shouted each other's names at the same time the moment Yuno left.

"Sister Bronya!"

"Xie'er!"

The two people who met again after a long separation, after confirming that the person in front of them was not an illusion, hugged each other with tears in their eyes.

During the time that Seele was missing, Bronya actually thought about what she would say to Seele after they reunited.

But now, when Xier really appeared in front of her, she realized that these words were too redundant.

"That's great... This isn't an illusion, it's just too good to be true."

As long as I can touch my most important companion with my own hands, it is enough.

"Welcome back, Xi'er."

"I'm back, Sister Bronya."

After letting go of each other's bodies, the two people who were crying with joy looked at the tear marks on each other's faces, and suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.

"Just come back."

Looking at Seele who was unharmed in front of her, Bronya asked Seele with concern.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? You just got back here, so you really should get a checkup."

"what?"

After listening to Bronya's concerned words, Seele looked down at her body and blinked a little puzzledly.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”

"Besides, the person who sent me back has been trying to protect me."

"Thanks to him, I was able to return safely to Sister Bronya."

"he?"

Looking at the blush on Seele's face, Bronya suddenly moved close to Seele's body.

"The person who sent you back, could it be..."

"Brother Yuan Yan, Sister Bronya, you have also seen him."

?

? ?

???

Although when Seele said that someone sent her back, Bronya immediately thought that it might have been done by Yuan Yan.

But although she thought of this, she felt the next second that she was definitely thinking too much.

The fifth collapse is about to come. At the very least, it concerns the lives of more than 13 million people in Manila. At the most, if it is not handled properly, it may lead to the destruction of the Philippines and its surrounding areas.

As a result, Yuan Yan, who was supposed to be handling these important matters, actually found time to secretly go to the Quantum Sea to rescue Xier, and also brought Rosalia and Lilia, who were abducted by other organizations, back to Anti-Entropy...

Although she knew she owed him enough favors, Bronya, who was completely unaware of the truth, still felt...

——I probably won’t be able to repay the favor I owe Yuan Yan in this lifetime.

At the same time, between the Ark

"What did you say?"

Bianca, who was already a little impatient at this point, suddenly became even more dissatisfied than before after hearing the instructions Einstein had just given her.

"My sister is missing now, and Fu Hua and Mei Yi have also lost their trace in Manila."

"Under such circumstances, even if I knew there was an enemy trap in Manila, I couldn't just stay at headquarters and wait!"

"Miss Bianca, please calm down a little."

Su, who had just arrived at the Ark and exchanged words with the Anti-Entropy members, said to Bianca somewhat helplessly.

"The situation is unclear right now. If we act rashly, we will be easily defeated one by one by the enemy."

"Mr. Su, I agree with your point of view, so..."

After hearing Su's advice, Bianca glanced at Su, who looked helpless.

"—Is this the reason why you allowed Yuan Yan to take action?"

"To be precise, this is not called indulgence."

After hearing Bianca mention Yuan Yan's name, Einstein felt a phantom pain in his head.

"If you can control something but don't, that's called letting it go. If you can't control it from the beginning, that's not letting it go, it's called being helpless."

"......All right."

After thinking about what Yuan Yan had done during their two meetings, Bianca had to admit that there was indeed nothing wrong with what Einstein said.

The first time she met Yuan Yan, Yuan Yan, who possessed four Herrscher powers, swallowed three Herrscher cores in succession in order to prevent the third collapse.

Afterwards, Yuan Yan, who was bombarded by the Moonlight Throne, miraculously survived. From this incident, it was not difficult for Bianca to see that this man was definitely not someone who would follow orders.

When the two sides met for the second time, Yuan Yan swallowed all the Herrscher cores he could at the time, and used the Star of Eden to stop Otto's atrocities.

Judging from the fact that he pierced Walter's body without saying a word and took away the core directly, Bianca even felt that if Yuan Yan himself had not had no desire for power, he might have started to overthrow his superiors long ago.

Now Einstein said that they couldn't control Yuan Yan... Well, I think there is no one in this world who can control him.

His heart is good.

But his mental state is absolutely insane.

"The leader has taken the initiative to go to Manila alone. Since we can't stop him, we can only stop the others and ask you not to go there for now."

After saying this, Einstein lightly tapped the information screen in front of him, and displayed a large amount of information in front of Su and Bianca.

"I believe the leader was confident enough when he launched the operation, but the anomalies of the fifth collapse have already begun to appear. Under such circumstances, I personally think that we should make sufficient preparations before heading to Manila."

"Originally, I hoped that Ms. Fu Hua would take Kiana over to gather some information and satisfy Kiana's desire to go on a mission, and then let them return. But now that things have turned out like this, I think the problem is a bit serious."

After recalling the great battle fourteen years ago, Einstein looked at Su beside him.

"Mr. Su, perhaps you don't know this, but compared to other Herrschers, Kiana is truly too special."

"Fourteen years ago, after escaping from the previous leader, Sirin, guided by the Honkai Will, obtained the four Herrscher cores: Thunder of Conquest, Wind of Longing, Silent Death, and Flame of Plague."

"After that, she possessed five Herrscher cores and even defeated the previous leader, seizing his Herrscher core of reason."

Seeing the cold sweat suddenly flowing down Su's face, Einstein interrupted his explanation with some confusion.

"Mr. Su, why does your expression suddenly become a little strange?"

"...No, please continue."

"Oh, all right—I'll just jump right in with the conclusion."

"Although both use multiple Herrscher cores in battle, Xilin and the leader are completely different."

"After Xilin swallowed the Herrscher Core, although she couldn't completely control its power, her Honkai energy had indeed reached a level that was beyond belief."

"For example, the situation where 'multiple Herrscher cores in one Herrscher may cause disturbances in the Herrscher's personality and spirit' has never occurred to Xilin."

"But the Alliance Leader is different. According to his own description, the Thunder of Conquest will continuously disintegrate his internal organs... Just from saying this, I think Mr. Su, as a pioneer, should understand the seriousness of the matter, right?"

"It's natural."

After listening to Einstein's explanation, Su restrained his previous embarrassed expression and nodded seriously.

"According to Alliance Leader Yuan, Miss Kiana has the same qualifications as Xilin...or perhaps her qualifications are even higher than Xilin's."

"If I were Honkai Will, then for this perfect Herrscher body, I would definitely find a way to stimulate her Herrscher personality and guide her to obtain more Herrscher cores."

"But speaking of this, I should tell you two about the embarrassing thing that happened just now. You may not believe it, but..."

"——The Will of Honkai is actually a companion that we, the Fire Moths, have planted within Honkai."

"What did you say?!"

Listening to Su's explanation, Bianca felt as if she had misheard the other party's explanation, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"You said the Honkai Will is ours? What nonsense are you talking about???"

"Well...our companion Prometheus XVII, after entering the Houkai, she can no longer maintain her original movement pattern."

"After being implanted within the Honkai, the only role she can play is to fix the powers possessed by the Herrschers who may appear. As for other aspects, she has no control over her own actions and can only carry out subsequent actions according to the Honkai's action pattern."

"...I see. No wonder you had such an awkward expression on your face earlier."

After listening to the information provided by Su, Einstein always felt that Su seemed not to have finished speaking.

"Mr. Su, if that's all, then Prometheus XVII securing the Herrscher's power is indeed a good thing for us."

"After all, after determining what powers the future Herrscher will possess, we can also come up with plans to target them in advance."

"Yeah... Actually, that's what I originally thought."

"But from the moment she started to act and guided Xilin to obtain the four cores in advance, I felt that something was wrong."

"She was supposed to be maintaining the power of the Herrscher, but during the Second Collapse, she acted even more horrifically. Now I strongly suspect that some of the Herrscher's powers have changed, which is why Miss Kiana and Hana suddenly disappeared in Manila."

"That's why Dr. Einstein and I share the same idea—at this stage, Miss Bianca, you can't act on impulse."

"Ah, I say..."

Bianca said with a headache after listening to the long speeches of the two brainiacs in front of her.

"I understand the principle, but after all the explanations you've given me, why don't you just tell me what I should do now?"

"Even if you don't let me go to Manila, you should at least tell me what I should do."

"My sister is missing, and now she might be in danger. At a time like this...oh my god, I'm so anxious!"

"About this..."

After mobilizing the Houkai energy in his body, Su concentrated his strength on Bianca.

"Miss Bianca, I know you have the power of a world bubble within you."

"But now, you are unable to control this power. You have the power but cannot use it."

"In order to deal with the powerful enemies that may appear during the Fifth Collapse, I will use the observation center of the Key of the Void, the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, the Sumeru Mustard Seed, to help you consolidate this power."

After making the explanation, Su, who brought Bianca into the Sumeru mustard seed, opened the communication channel opened to him by Anti-Entropy, and continued to explain to Einstein on the other side of the communication channel.
