Chapter 81: "The Titanfall Series Weapons That Even Monkeys Can Create"

The attention towards Welt's actions from the Anti Entropy side was naturally unwavering.

Even Welt, as the well known author, wouldn't be overlooked by Tesla and Einstein after going live.

What if Welt had some information to convey?

Or what if something happened on Welt's end?

After leaving Anti Entropy himself, Welt lurked in some unknown corner, preparing for the upcoming battle against Honkai. Occasionally desiring a break is something that Tesla and Einstein could understand.

After all, Welt had inherited the power of the Herrscher of Reason and wore Joyce's face.

To maximize his abilities, besides operating within Anti Entropy, he also studied under the two doctors.

It could be said that there was hardly any childhood to speak of; even his childhood was entirely false.

False appearance, false emotions, and the endless torment brought by the core of the Herrscher of Reason.

Didn't Tesla and Einstein know this?

So when facing Welt, there was always a sense of guilt in their hearts. If Welt had any whimsical ideas, as long as they weren't excessive, everyone could tolerate them.

But God knows what Tesla saw today.

The plot of Titanfall lasted at most about five hours, or six hours if there were slight delays.

During Welt's live broadcast, Tesla had been anxiously watching, curious about what this huge robot made by Bunny would say.

Ha!

The clumsy mech structure, absurd settings, repairing Titans with batteries, isn't this nonsense?

And then?

Vortex shield?

What kind of nonsense is this?

But as the plot progressed, Tesla gradually became familiar with this comrade-like BT, gradually understanding this robot named BT-7274.

It adhered to three protocols throughout, even lied to protect its pilot at the end!

BT! My BT!

Then Tesla's perception of BT came alive, as if it were a real living robot.

Then in Tesla's eyes, after BT merged with the Ark, it died.

Einstein sighed helplessly beside her; she knew Tesla, as a scientist, was more emotionally inclined. From a rational perspective, a robot like BT was just created by Haxxor Bunny.

But who made that image so successful?

"Einstein."

"Yeah?"

"Let's make Titans too! Like BT's, and I've seen it, these Titans' power shouldn't be bad, Titan Pilot's equipment is feasible too. Welt hung up on me, but sent this!"

Tesla sent a document to Einstein's smart AI assistant, Einstein opened it and projected it in front of herself.

"The parameters of the Titanfall Titans, and the blueprints... Hmm, who did this? Welt? I feel like there are traces of Welt's design in it."

Arahato also had Welt's involvement to some extent; Welt could actually work as a researcher.

"Welt said he communicated with Haxxor Bunny and tried to design Titanfall Titans from a realistic perspective, and that guy Haxxor Bunny... She has some technology we don't have, from materials to reactors, do you remember the Light Dust?"

"Ah... that thing, where physics doesn't apply anymore..."

When Tesla heard Einstein mention Light Dust, she felt a headache.

It's not that there's nothing else, it's just that no instrument can detect it, the frustration it brought them was stronger than that 'Getting Over It' game.

What kind of technology is this?

How far ahead is it from the current civilization?

She's so capable, why doesn't she go solve the Honkai?

But this also indicates that Haxxor Bunny's words are indeed highly credible, the Cocoon of the Finality is the key to triggering Honkai and the reason for the birth of the Herrschers.

Since the core of the Herrschers is already the shadow of the Cocoon of Finality, wouldn't it be possible to catch that guy by following the connection from the core of the Herrschers?

Although the idea was excellent, even the train of thought was probably correct.

However, the road of researching is still starting from scratch, and it's so long that it seems there's no end in sight.

"It's not that physics doesn't exist anymore, it's just that we haven't touched that level of truth yet. The universe is vast, I'm beginning to expect what kind of people are in the Genius Club under the hand of the Astral Computer Nous"

Einstein was still optimistic, and Tesla couldn't help but sigh.

"You're quite optimistic..."

"It's not optimism, it's that I'm better at rational thinking, unlike someone who always gets angry easily. BT's AI program can easily be modified using our Anti Entropy's artificial intelligence. The only difficulty lies in the weapons and energy. Do you understand?"

"I know. That arc device can release five terajoules of energy. Five terajoules! And it's such a small thing. Can it be achieved without Honkai?"

"Strictly speaking, it's you who can't do it."

"Einstein!!! Give me some research time, and I can definitely do it. It's just an arc, after all! What can't I do?"

"Yeah, sure, just go for it."

Because of a game, Tesla and Welt reached a consensus without much communication. The mass production of Arahato soldiers could be put on hold for now.

While researching the new Titans, they could also explore some new technologies.

Of course, the most important thing was the exploration of the Cocoon of Finality; that couldn't be forgotten.

During Welt's absence from Anti Entropy, countless tasks poured in, all starting from the encounter with Haxxor Bunny.

Tesla really wanted to thank Bunny properly and also want greet this strange girl who liked to play games.

Looking at the contact information Welt sent, Einstein immediately closed it.

"All the words you said represent Anti Entropy's face. We don't understand Bunny's personality. If you greet her like this, it might cause unnecessary hostility."

"So, I just keep it to myself!?"

"Wait until you're familiar with her. Releasing it later won't hurt. Now we need to thank each other properly."

Tesla felt her blood pressure rising.

BT! Welt! Thirty kilograms of gold!

Sooner or later, she would make that smelly brat understand the power of Anti Entropy!

In the office of the Bishop of Schicksal.

Amber looked a little tired as she watched Otto playing games in the office.

"Lord Otto."

"All the work is done, and there haven't been any major experiments lately. Can't I play some games to pass the time?"

"No, Lady Nagamitsu wants to see you."

"Let her in."

It seems that Miss Nagamitsu has come up with some new ideas again.

As an internal weapon developer of Schicksal R&D, Miss Nagamitsu had an extraordinary focus and passion for weapon research. There was hardly anything that could divert her attention, unless it was a new weapon design.

Normally, Nagamitsu wouldn't actively seek out Otto; she would stay alone in the laboratory, doing research day after day.

"What has brought Miss Nagamitsu here? Or have you discovered some earth-shattering secret during your weapon research?"

After closing the game, Otto, maintaining his usual dignity as the Bishop of Schicksal, with his refreshing smile and strategizing posture, It was the most admired figure among the Valkyries in Schicksal.

"My lord, look what I found on the internet! I often look online for inspiration for new weapons, and recently I found a treasure!"

"Oh? Online?"

It wouldn't be the energy rifle, would it?

Otto's expression was a bit subtle. The recent hot topics online were either Titanfall or Apex. Although the games were indeed good, most of the technology inside was full of fantasy. It would be difficult to achieve in reality.

"That's right. There's a game called Titanfall that's been popular lately. Forget about the plot for now; after the plot ends, there's a little easter egg in the helmet. It releases a Morse code that leads to a webpage with a puzzle."

Nagamitsu carefully observed Otto's expression, and Otto also seemed interested.

It seemed that Otto was also intrigued?

Before she even got to the point, could it be that Haxxor Bunny had attracted Otto's attention with her actions?

"Go on."

"Anyway, it's hard to describe this thing in words. Simply put, it's about finding the lonely wave in the brain's thoughts, summarizing a formula, and that formula is the answer to the puzzle. After entering the answer, you can see a book left by the producer on the webpage titled 'The Titanfall Series Weapons That Even Monkeys Can Create.'"

Oh, this?

Reading Brain's thoughts?

Otto was familiar with this.

For the sake of reviving Kallen, Otto had tried everything. From digitalizing memories from corpses and sending them into Schicksal's database, to occasionally reviewing what had happened in the past.

But the Kallen revived in that way was not the real Kallen, so Otto ruled out that method.

Now that Nagamitsu suddenly mentioned this thing, So Otto was forced to recall that terrible failure.

Still...

A series of weapons from Titanfall that even monkeys could create?

Ha, quite arrogant.

"The weapons from the Titanfall series can indeed be realized with the current technology of Schicksal, but so what?"

Seeing that Otto still didn't quite understand, Nagamitsu was also very anxious.

"It seems you've played the game, Sir. Do you know about the gravity stars there? Making a gravity singularity, although it's short-lived, the suction force produced is very powerful. It feels very powerful against charging Honkai beasts. And most importantly, the method of making it is really simple, but its original force is not the for the usual way of making gravity singularities!"

Saying this, Nagamitsu opened the webpage, entered the puzzle answer, and sent the gravity star interface to Otto.

"Simple? The premise of making it requires a particle collider. And you tell me it's simple? Don't tell me you want to use this thing to trick me into opening up a particle collider for you?"

Otto glanced at the manufacturing steps, which seemed quite formal, but many of them felt very ridiculous.

[Making concentrated ether and then detonating it, the massive data explosion would create a brief data vacuum, and the vacuum data environment would pull the surrounding data towards the center of the vacuum, thus changing the direction of gravity.]

What?

Is this world still fake?

Can it still be manipulated by data?

"Although we can't use a collider, I can still conduct data verification, right? Like here, the raw material for ether particles needs to use imaginary energy. The producer's proposal is to extract imaginary energy from the imaginary space through quantum tunneling, and then send it into the collider after being constrained by a magnetic field, where it collides with the antiprotons produced by the collider to form this light dust."

Otto frowned, realizing that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

"Isn't this..."

"That's right, it's possible for our Schicksal's imaginary core to be manufactured in a similar way, although there are some differences. The basic principle is similar. And the way they extract imaginary energy is simpler, but that thing is very different from Honkai energy."

As Nagamitsu spoke, she took out something like a cake, which was the imaginary core born from Schicksal's research on Honkai energy, but the golden light flowing inside was different.

Inside flowed colorful black light.

Yes, it was that kind of colorful black.

"Completely different from our direction of research, this thing is likely a completely new research direction, and it's not Honkai energy, but the so-called 'data' carrier floating in imaginary space!"

"Comparing the world to a game, treating the rules of the basic level as data... Nagamitsu, does anyone else know about this besides you and me?"

Suddenly, Nagamitsu became alert.

"No, don't silence me! I set up a timing device in the laboratory. If I don't give feedback for a period of time, this matter will spread all over the world!"

"I don't mean to silence you. I just hope that this research will be given more attention and that the confidentiality level will be increased. I'll approve the collider for you, but be careful when using it. I think this so-called light dust is probably something Haxxor Bunny wants to give me, but in a roundabout way."

Subsequently, the light dust would be used to convert into ether particles. However, due to the lack of a suitable container, the ether particles would explode instantly, and the massive data explosion would create a temporary data vacuum, ultimately resulting in the effect of a gravity star.

Most ordinary players probably just took it as an interesting joke, but sometimes the truth is just that simple and ridiculous.

"She's just a game maker... Well, I understand. This matter is indeed too strange. I will definitely keep it a secret. You can rest assured, Archbishop!"

"Who was it that just told me about setting up the non-response information dissemination function?"

"Ahaha... I'll go busy myself. You're busy too, Archbishop~"

With a swift turn, Nagamitsu escaped from the Bishop's office, while Otto picked up the imaginary core version of Haxxor Bunny and asked Void Archives, "What do you think, old friend? In the records of the previous civilization, does such a thing exist?"

"Who knows? Maybe yes, maybe no. There were so many research directions in the previous civilization, and the directions weren't necessarily the same. Perhaps this is just a ridiculous toy cobbled together? Are you really believing Haxxor's nonsense? She's a hacker, good at deception and intrusion~"

"I see. It's a technology unknown even to you huh?"

"..."

Void Archives fell silent. Every time it spoke, it teased Otto a bit and provided a bit of false guidance, but each time, Otto would notice.

For five hundred years, it had always been like this. Void Archives was starting to doubt if Otto had even figured out its base code.

But Otto didn't have that ability.

"Amber."

"I'm here."

"The Schicksal Entertainment Annual Conference. Remember to send an invitation to Haxxor Bunny and do everything possible to investigate Bunny's background, her daily activities, and her movements."

"Yes, Archbishop, but there's a volunteer application for a counselor that requires your approval because the orphanage she chose is the same one in France as Bianka's orphanage."

"The captain of the Assault Squad? She has been working too hard lately. Let it be approved. There's no possibility of her being a spy."

"Yes, Archbishop!"

Chapter 82: Sin: What Goes Around Comes Around

"Long live Hydra!"

"Oh! Long live Hydra!"

"Bronya! Don't make a fuss here, I'm discussing serious matters!"

Connecting to the Ash Serpent's communication, the other party immediately shouted the slogan, which happened to be heard by Bronya, who also joined in shouting.

Hearing Bronie's reprimand, Bronya just tilted her head and said, "Bronya thinks this way of confirming identities is very cool."

"I didn't expect the great Lord and her confidant have such a hobby. Still, The matter you wanted to investigate has already yielded results. The employer of the mercenaries has been identified as a member of the World Serpent, Jackal. Does Hydra need to intervene?"

"No, there's no need. I'll personally let her understand in due time how terrifying it is to suddenly find a Honkai beast's head by the bedside. If she still has designs on the children at the orphanage..."

"Hehehe, you're really humorous."

"The Hydra isn't ready to reveal itself yet. Once we find new ways to fight Honkai, you are important assets in thwarting Project Stigma. You just need to develop and grow steadily and provide me with intelligence when necessary. After all, each of you in the Grey Serpent is an expert in gathering information, right?"

"Thank you for your praise, but there's something even more important that you should know."

"Oh?"

"The Archbishop of Schicksal has issued orders to collect information about you by any means necessary, including things like consumption records."

Hmm, Bronie had once used daily consumption records to determine the location of the orphanage in Cocolia's hands. Why wouldn't Schicksal do the same?

"Don't worry, I have ways to conceal my identity. But I bet that fellow Otto is getting restless. I'll definitely attend the upcoming banquet."

"Since you're so insightful, I won't interfere too much in your plans, Sire. If there's anything, please contact me more often."

After saying this, the Ash Serpent ended the communication, while Bronya quietly looked at herself, her eyes seemingly filled with admiration.

"Cough, cough, the mastermind behind the mercenaries who attacked the orphanage has been identified as Jackal from the World Serpent. Her name is Cleo, a genius scientist. Project Stigma is the final means left behind by the civilization of the previous era to combat Honkai, but that plan is very flawed and would lead to a huge cost for human civilization. Cleo is trying to alter the Stigmata plan and find alternative ways to combat Honkai."

But it couldn't be denied that Jackal was a beast, no better than Otto.

She also used children as experimental subjects, without any sense of morality. Even if her intentions were good, Bronya would never let her off the hook.

She wondered if that bitch would restrain herself after being threatened by her.

"Finding ways to fight Honkai? So even disasters similar to natural laws can be overcome?"

"Once you reach a certain level of strength, you can even change the laws of the universe. Aeons are such an existence, and the existence of the Aeon proves its possibility.

Fighting Honkai is just a matter of course. Although it's a very long-term goal, as long as we take it step by step, it will be achievable one day."

"Bronya will also join Bronie in fighting Honkai in the future."

"Then I'll make some equipment for fighting Honkai for you! Do you prefer to speak with your fists or have robots by your side?"

"Speak with fists?"

Bronie didn't quite understand what Bronya meant.

But when she heard robots, she immediately chose robots without hesitation.

That's right, robots are so cool!

"It's probably using giant fists to smash the opponent into pieces in minutes."

"Bronya wants robots, giant robots, like BT!"

"Okay, okay, I'll make whatever you want."

Looking at the small face similar to her own in the mirror, Bronie felt a surge of affection.

It's just a pity that Bronie used to be a chef specializing in ducks, but now she's become a member of the duck family. (Joke here is that "Bronya" in CN is like Duck when spoken "Banya" hence the nickname Duck in CN)

Taking everything in only ends up hurting oneself, so Bronya has nothing but sisterly affection for Bronie.

It's really a pity, but watching herself grow gradually in the mirror, isn't this also an all-round experience of nurturing ducks too?

To be honest, this feeling isn't bad at all.

Just as Bronya was admiring herself in the mirror, Schicksal sent an invitation.

That's right, it's nearing the end of the year again, and Schicksal Entertainment's annual conference is about to begin.

The new DLC for Civilization has been updated, sparking a lot of discussion online. The addition of new elements to the game has instantly changed its style.

For those who enjoy this type of game, it means several days of sleepless nights, forgetting about the time.

And more importantly, there's the game Apex.

Although this online game appears to be free, the pay-to-play model, like the Battle Pass, has made both Anti Entropy and Schicksal rake in a lot of money.

Countless people are eagerly anticipating what Haxxor Bunny's next work will be, whether it's the exhilarating aerial shooting game of Titanfall, the intense and thrilling battle royale gameplay of Apex, or the grand epic fantasy theme of Elden Ring.

All of these have left players with fond memories deep in their hearts.

Naturally, Bronie's importance is growing in both Schicksal Entertainment and Homu Entertainment.

Receiving invitations to the annual conferences is also quite normal.

The invitation to Homu Entertainment's annual conference followed shortly after, but Bronie didn't hesitate to temporarily decline the invitation and instead said they had decided to go to Schicksal Entertainment's side.

Well, this matter quickly reached Einstein's ears. After all, with Welt absent, most matters were being handled by Einstein and Tesla. And now, Haxxor Bunny suddenly wanting to go to Schicksal.

Who knows if it's a trap there?

Perhaps she will even come face to face with Otto directly. By then, Bronie might be tortured to death by Otto's Divine Key, or Bronie might even become their enemies the next time they meet!

So Einstein directly dialed Bronie's phone, intending to warn them.

"On such a beautiful day, with birds chirping and flowers so fragrant, Dr. Einstein would like to ask for guidance?"

"This is our first official communication. I heard that you agreed to the invitation to Schicksal Entertainment's annual conference. I feel it's necessary to remind you not to underestimate Otto's methods."

After connecting the communication, Einstein was also slightly surprised.

Because on the other side of the screen, Haxxor Bunny's appearance was so young that it made one question life.

Welt had previously said that Haxxor Bunny was a very powerful genius, young, energetic, passionate, but also very calm.

Now, seeing Haxxor Bunny, it was hard not to suspect that she deliberately used some tricks to make themselves look very young.

"I know that Otto possesses the final work of the previous civilization, the First Divine Key, the Void Archives. Originally, Vill-V wanted to design it as an all-knowing and all-powerful entity, but due to limitations in time, resources, and capabilities, she ended up instilling all the technologies she could think of within the civilization instead."

"Almost all the technologies of the previous civilization?"

"Almost all. After all, it's the core of the First Herrscher, so you can imagine the immense potential."

"No wonder..."

Einstein suddenly realized, and Otto's astonishing combat power could be explained in many ways.

"It contains blueprints for most of the Divine Keys, including the Eighth Divine Key, Fenghuang Down, made by the Core of the Herrscher of Sentience, which has the ability to hypnotize, control and modify memories."

"You know all this, yet you still want to go?"

"Mm-hmm, there's something very important to me in Otto's possession, something that your Anti Entropy can't provide."

Seeing that Haxxor Bunny's decision was made, Einstein even judged that even this meeting was probably prepared by Haxxor Bunny long ago.

What else is there to say now?

"I hope your hacking skills can really help you achieve your goals, but provoking Schicksal is a very unwise thing to do. Schicksal's influence is everywhere, and as soon as a flaw is exposed, it will be seized upon. Although Anti Entropy may help you to some extent, outside of the United States, we, Anti Entropy are powerless."

It seemed that Einstein was really worried about her.

Maybe appearance also counts as a bonus.

"Do I really look unreliable?"

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen."

Einstein felt her blood pressure rising again!

But then she thought of the games made by Haxxor Bunny.

Obviously, these were not made by the immature mindset of a sixteen-year-old, but more confirmation was needed.

"Is all this planned?"

"That's right, all of this is planned. In my career as a mercenary hacker, I have never experienced any failure, I never fight battles that I'm not sure of winning, nothing can stop me from reaching my goals, not even Otto and his Schicksal. But I don't really need to have too many conflicts with Otto."

Although she herself disliked Otto, Bronie also knew that Schicksal, under Otto's control, indeed made significant contributions to fighting Honkai, and even nurtured Bianka to be stronger than a protagonist.

As an adult, who meets someone and immediately sees them as an enemy?

It's all just a matter of exchanging interests.

Bronie can give them what they want, and at the moment they meet Otto, Bronie can get what they want, even if Otto wants to refuse, it's impossible.

Of course, if Otto doesn't notice, they can still make some money, and if Otto does notice, he won't be able to easily break up with them.

"You just need to be a little careful yourself. Anti Entropy can provide you with some support because the information you provide us with is indeed very important in combating Honkai."

"Sorry, I'm not the kind of person who's good at research, so all I can bring you is information. If it's useful, then that's great. After all, in such a beautiful world, how can I bear to watch it being destroyed by Honkai?"

Bronya was still by their side, because they were communicating with important people, so Bronya stayed by Bronie's side, quiet like a doll.

Looking at Bronya's obedient appearance, Bronie couldn't help but reach out and touch her head a few times.

"Hahaha, I'm starting to believe that you're from another world, but then again, should we treat you as an alien?"

"If you want to see it that way, it's fine. There were actually cases of alien visitors in the previous civilization. Later, he became a MANTIS and once faced the Finality with the warriors of the previous civilization, finally burning out his own life in the battle against Honkai."

"Is there really such a thing... Well, I understand, but do you really not need any support?"

"How about preparing a plane for me?"

"No problem, if it's just that, there's naturally no problem."

Seeing that Haxxor Bunny no longer asked for more things, Einstein finally ended the communication.

Bronya leaned over and opened Civilization on the computer, and found the option for Civilization Encyclopedia, and opened it.

"Einstein... has lived for so long?"

"Otto Apocalypse, the Archbishop of Schicksal, has also lived for five hundred years. Holding powerful forces and extreme wisdom, longevity is not difficult, even reversing aging is not difficult. As for Miss Tesla and Miss Einstein... do you still remember the Sixth Herrscher?"

"The Herrscher of Death."

Bronya naturally took classes very seriously, and when Bronie was teaching, they taught everything, just in case someone encounters a Herrscher and doesn't know what powers they possess.

"Death often accompanies rebirth. The Sixth Divine Key, Black Abyss White Flower, has the ability to grant death to others, as well as the ability to grant life to others. Under the influence of such a Divine Key, it's not difficult to coincidentally gain longevity. It's just something that happens."

"Bronya doesn't believe in coincidences!"

"I'm quite inclined to believe it. Next, I'll have to rely on you to look after the house. I'll go to Canghai City."

"Canghai City, but isn't Canghai City in China? Schicksal Entertainment seems to be in Europe..."

"Who knows why they chose that place? Obviously, Schicksal's influence hasn't reached China yet, or maybe it's to dispel my doubts?"

"It's very likely that Bronya thinks Schicksal wants to lower Bronie's guard. China has very strict control measures, and coupled with the fact that China is not under Schicksal's territory, preliminary judgment is that Schicksal may not have deep hostility towards Sister Bronie."

"Yeah..."

Bronie nodded in agreement. Bronya's analysis was indeed good. Schicksal is also sending some friendly signals, and that guy Otto, as long as it doesn't involve Kallen, he's not that crazy. Even when he was teaching Bianka, he said that if he became a role like Medea, please don't forgive his sins.

"But speaking of which, Bronie, if you're going to attend the annual conference, should Bronie wear formal attire? Perhaps this is basic etiquette? It's written on the invitation."

"Eh!? Is that so?"

"Bronya called Elysia over. She's very good at dressing up, and Bronya isn't very skilled at it, so?"

"Hey!"

Sin suddenly burst into the room, as if she had been prepared for this day.

And the other children cautiously peeked their heads in and gradually gathered around.

"Oh my! Bronie, you haven't contacted me in so long, I might get a little upset! To make up for it, you'll have to dress up for me, and then I'll take care of Bronie's outfit for the next event!"

Bronya contacted Elysia, and on the screen, Elysia looked excited.

It's true that what goes around, comes around. Sister Elysia came over, her face full of joy, as if she wanted to make herself feel like a dress-up doll.

"Gee, isn't it completely unavoidable? Then my attire, I'll leave it to you. Just don't make me look too ugly."

Chapter 83: Jackal's Bedside Has a Head

Bronie possessed the ability to project anything understood, even data she knew, hence the choices in formal attire seemed somewhat extravagant.

Elysia directly designed a set of pink skirts, accompanied by various special effects, resembling a flamboyant peacock. It gave the impression of a princess, but contradicted Bronie's usual style, creating a subtle contrast. It was akin to a jade pond, perhaps?

Seele, striving to employ her imagination, crafted a set resembling lilies. Though it appeared somewhat plain, Bronie felt it suited Seele better.

As for Sin? She was too excited and ended up with various medieval dresses, resembling torture devices when worn by Bronie, and subsequently vetoed.

Unable to find suitable attire online due to most being designed for curvier figures, Bronya found herself fatigued after the antics.

"Alright, stop crowding, don't you feel warm? Formal attire should suit the occasion; I dislike overly revealing outfits. Plus, they should match the Shenzhou style..."

Closing her eyes, Bronie recalled the luxurious attire provided in the Taixu Gate. Perhaps that ensemble would be more fitting?

Entering the dressing room and returning, she busily tended to her hair. "Wow," exclaimed Bronya. Like a siren emerging from the depths, Bronie's hair fixing captivated even Bronya.

"Since it's a Shenzhou feast, qipao elements are necessary, right? I enlarged my Taixu Gate attire slightly. How does this outfit look?" Bronie twirled, the skirt's hem swaying with her movements.

"Wow! Bronie, you're quite the fashionista!" Elysia, momentarily stunned, quickly expressed her eagerness to see Bronie personally.

Regrettably, she was just data, awaiting Bronie's return to the Elysian Realm to interact.

"But this attire is too revealing, lacks the secrecy needed. In case of infiltration, most witnesses may need to be eliminated," Bronya confessed shyly, deflecting attention.

"For the sake of daily beauty, sacrifices are worthwhile!" quipped Bronya.

"Even in our winters of minus thirty degrees, spare me. Yet, I'll wear this to Shenzhou. Await the good news I bring back!"

"Be cautious!" Elysia cautioned, aware of Bronya's ongoing efforts for the Elysian Realm. It seemed there was hope to lead everyone out.

Unfortunately, the Elysian Realm's residents had limited capabilities, aside from teachings and observing the eccentricities of two scientists.

"Don't worry, when have I ever crashed?" Bronie reassured, instilling concern in the orphanage children.

Even Seele sought another Seele's help to learn more about Bronya's dangerous mission.

It seemed she wished to assist.

From Bronya's demeanor, the children sensed the peril of her upcoming journey, despite her transparency.

The invitation was sent out a week in advance. However, this didn't leave Bronya much time because she needed a visa to go to Shenzhou.

Without the help of Schicksal and AE, she had to resort to some underhanded methods to obtain a valid visa.

Plus, she still needed to pay a visit to Miss Jackal. How could this amount of time be enough?

So, on the day she received the invitation, Bronya left the orphanage early the next day.

The weapons in the secret room increased slightly, and there were more drones. If mercenaries attacked again, Bronya hoped she could properly deploy the drones.

Days passed, years passed. Miss Cleo was well aware that if she followed the tasks assigned by the World Serpent Lord, it was uncertain whether human civilization would still exist in the end.

So the tasks given by the Serpent Lord must, and would, be completed!

As for sacrifices? That was only natural! Sacrifice was just like dust, at most causing a sneeze.

Jackal had no moral bottom line and rarely considered the consequences of her actions.

Although she was far from being like Mobius, her talent was still valuable.

After hearing about the complete annihilation of the mercenary team, Jackal became interested in the orphanage controlled by that warlord.

It was certain that there were more people studying the collapse phenomenon in the world, but each one progressed differently, and Jackal considered herself at the forefront!

Therefore, the experimental materials under the control of the warlord's leader would be a waste in her hands.

So, Miss Cleo wanted to take over those things before the experimental materials were consumed. Refusing to waste them!

After all, the awakened Stigmata were one in a million, and each child with resistance to the collapse was a potential asset.

This time, the mercenaries failed probably because she didn't offer enough money.

Next time, under a hefty reward, there would certainly be powerful mercenaries! Of course, Jackal didn't know why she couldn't control Crow to bring the children back.

He was complaining about back pain one day, leg pain the next.

Even if her mood was low, it didn't affect Miss Cleo much.

She still ate and slept well every day, then did experiments diligently, seeing progress every day.

Miss Cleo was quite satisfied with her current situation.

Just today, as the days in 2009 were nearing their end, Jackal woke up in her luxurious mansion in Arc City and saw a terrifying scene beside her bed!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Cleo's scream echoed through the sky, and the outside World Serpent guards immediately burst into Jackal's room, only to see a scene they had never witnessed in their careers.

Between the contours of the bedcovers, there was a head. Its pallid face, along with some mechanical modifications and features reminiscent of the collapse beasts, stained the bedsheets with purple blood.

The warmth emanating through the sheets seemed to indicate that this thing was fresh. In fact, Cleo wasn't unfamiliar with this head.

Because she saw this thing every day in her laboratory, where unfortunate volunteers were tricked into experiments, leaving themselves in a state neither human nor ghost, and ultimately sacrificing themselves to her.

And this head was one of many failed products. However, even with such failures, they were supposed to be hidden in the underground 30th floor laboratory of the Heliopolis Life Sciences in Arc City, guarded by numerous high-tech mechs and soldiers.

Once Heliopolis Life Sciences encountered a problem, alarms would sound, surely disturbing her sleep!

But this head appeared on her bed without any warning, scaring Cleo, who had just woken up from her slumber.

"Lady Jackal! A letter has been found!"

"Bring it here!"

Jackal gasped for breath, still not having recovered from the huge shock.

This time, being able to deliver the head to her bedside queitly, next time they would definitely be able to quietly take her head off.

Even if Jackal was arrogant, she could recognize that she had just narrowly passed through the gates of hell.

[This is a warning this time. Next time will be death. Your Stigmata plan modifications are useless.]

There was a long list of locations behind it, all addresses of Miss Jackal's safe houses!

The letter didn't specify what exactly had happened.

But had Jackal done few wicked deeds?

"Contact Grey Serpent for me! Investigate! Who dares to threaten me, the one who dares to pull the Serpent's tail!"

Before finding out who was threatening her, the experiments and such would probably have to be put on hold.

After all, being able to sneak into her own company without being noticed, and quietly delivering that thing's head in front of her, this was not an ability that ordinary people possessed.

Next time would be death; this kind of threat was definitely not to be taken lightly!

"Also, prepare a ticket for me to North Africa. I'll go there temporarily to lay low."

...

"It's really not easy to see you, Mr. Otto, the CEO of Schicksal Entertainment."

The annual meeting of Schicksal Entertainment was uneventful, with a normal opening, a normal banquet, and even the speech wasn't given by Mr. Otto.

Fortunately, the formal attire chosen by Bronie didn't make any mistakes and perfectly blended into the atmosphere.

But if Bronie wore some medieval noble girl's gorgeous dress or the strange little skirt full of special effects given by Elysia, it would probably attract a lot of attention, just like a guest with japanese cat ears still on their head in a temple at night.

After eating and drinking enough, Bronie was about to use some other means to find Otto's figure.

When she couldn't find him, she was planning to leave directly.

At this moment, a maid walked over and led her to a private room in the venue.

Bronie then saw Otto leisurely enjoying red wine and playing games in the room!

Damn it, the banquet was too boring, and there were no handheld game consoles outside, which meant that Bronie could only wait for Otto to come to her while eating.

So, when she saw him for the first time, Bronie expressed her dissatisfaction slightly.

"Hello, Miss Bunny, but your appearance is too deceptive. After observing repeatedly, I confirmed that it was really you."

"What did you use to confirm?"

Bronya raised an eyebrow.

"Well, didn't you put yourself into the game? This game, which made countless anchors suffer but also stimulated the rise of the live streaming industry, was conquered with Miss Bunny. The protagonist on it has your face, right?"

Otto projected an image as he spoke. "It's pretty good, isn't it? Isn't it cute?"

Bronya was very satisfied with her modeling and nodded involuntarily.

"So, you went to such lengths to lure me here and meet you. What do you want?"

Otto's time was particularly precious. Since they were in this room, it was best to make things clear. If it was friendly, then talk it out and then use Fenghuang Down to inspect. If it was malicious, then directly investigate with Fenghuang Down.

So Mr. Otto was so confident.

"Nothing much, just want to have some technical exchanges, about AI, and memory. You know, the light flowing above the light dust contains fragments of memory recorded in imaginary energy. I'm interested in these things, so I want to exchange ideas with the Archbishop of Schicksal, who controls the most advanced technology today."

"Oh? Is it really like this?"

In the quiet room, Mr. Otto carefully scrutinized Bronya. The clothes she was wearing didn't look like she could carry any weapons at all.

This harmless appearance, and the "Bunny" he investigated, were completely different.

And this outfit with obvious Shenzhou style didn't feel out of place on the Bunny at all!

She always felt very mysterious, but after close communication, she felt even more mysterious.

So Mr. Otto couldn't help but be curious and used the Void Archives to simulate the Fenghuang Down.

"I've always been a curious person. Technology, and such, can be considered as my little collecting hobby. In short, I'll tell you what I know as an exchange. You tell me about some technologies that interest me. How about that?"

Seeing Miss Bunny's reaction, Mr. Otto frowned.

Did Fenghuang Down work or not?

Normally, people under the influence of Fenghuang Down were quite dull, but Bronya's rich expressions made him wonder if it was carved into her DNA?

"Oh? What do you want from me?"

"Knowledge exchange, there are many things I can offer, such as the current number of known Aeons, gods above the starry sky, and the destinies they created. Or how pure memetic life forms composed of memories move in the universe, or the true usage of this light dust, and the power hidden in memories."

It sounded like a made-up story. But gods did exist! However, Otto himself still had many things to be determined, and experiments had not produced obvious results yet.

"So, what do you want from me?"

"Probably... something related to the technology of digital life forms? Unlocking the shackles of digital life forms, allowing them to act in real life, and simulating sensory signals, etc."

Fenghuang Down was activated again, but Bronya's lack of response left Otto confused.

He clearly understood the Divine Key, but why didn't the Fenghuang Down make the Bunny look dazed?

Fortunately, the confusion was only temporary.

After intelligence regained the upper hand again, Otto began to carefully analyze Bronya's current situation.

Covered from head to toe with harmlessness, she came up with the idea of technical exchange right away and brought out some content he had never heard of.

What did this represent?

Did it mean that the Haxxor Bunny had no hostile intentions? Or was she, like himself, confident and fearless? Perhaps both.

"Maybe we can have a deeper level of cooperation, but you'd better introduce yourself to me first. Who are you, exactly?"

Chapter 84: Stimulating Exchange

Originally, Otto believed that there weren't many people in the world who could evade his Fenghuang Down's ability.

Even those in the Herrscher category had to struggle. As for Ryounnouske, it was because he had something else on him, which ultimately led to almost losing the Fourth Divine Key completely.

Of course, since that incident, Otto no longer blindly believed in the power of Fenghuang Down. But anyone who could resist its effects was definitely not easy to deal with!

To put it bluntly, they had combat power at the Herrscher level, and the resistance effect was akin to level suppression in games, primarily focused on brute force.

So, Otto began to feel nervous.

How should he put it? If he lost his body, it would just mean losing a bit of memory.

But now that Otto knew about this, without knowing the details, would it affect his relationship with Bronie?

Would it be necessary to immediately become enemies with someone like this?

Of course not, so he asked that question.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Strictly speaking, I'm a traveler in the Sea of Quanta. I'm currently settled in this world temporarily. After all, as you know, this world is on the brink of destruction. I'm a kind-hearted person and can't stand things to happen."

So, she was actually a good person!

The Sea of Quanta?

Originally, Otto had thought about exploring the Sea of Quanta, but so far, he hadn't found a suitable candidate. His own soul-steel body wasn't really suitable for exploring that broken place.

Otto himself was at a loss for how to explore the Sea of Quanta.

But now it seemed like an unexpected opportunity had presented itself.

As for the truthfulness of Bronie's words?

That could be verified slowly in the future.

"So, you mean you have a way to solve this disaster of Honkai?"

"No."

"Well, that's true. Normally, Honkai isn't that easy to solve. Just traveling in the Sea of Quanta, although it requires some skill, it's not possible to solve the Honkai so easily."

Otto wasn't surprised by this; he just casually asked a question.

"The Sea of Quanta is chaotic, and there are many dangers. But one thing is certain, there are no Honkais in other worlds. Occasionally, there may be some Honkai in worlds related to this one."

This news was indeed very important, but it was casually mentioned by Bronie!

As a hacker, Bronie naturally understood the value of information for certain individuals and groups, but being able to say it so casually made Mr. Otto pay attention to the concept of Aeons mentioned by Bronie.

"I agree to your trade request."

"Great, I like straightforward bosses like you. If you have any future commissions, just let me know. As long as the price is right, there's nothing I can't do!"

"Oh? It seems that Miss Bronie has some other interests besides making games?"

"Having fun, solving puzzles, challenging the impossible, these are the things I like to do. There's nothing in the world that I can't hack into. That's the intelligence I've prepared. Sometimes, for a researcher, a clear direction and inspiration are more valuable than decades of experimentation, don't you think?"

What Bronya said was indeed true.

There were too many mysteries in this world, and there were many things to do to revive Kiana.

But most of the time, it was difficult to find a direction.

Intelligence could provide guidance, and Bronie's assurance of this made Otto very interested.

"This is the intelligence you wanted. It contains research data on memories and AI within Schicksal. But I didn't expect you to be interested in this field?"

"It's not that, it's just that what I want to do is related to this field, so I need to catch up. There's no other way. Once Honkai begins, Herrscher beings will continue to emerge one after another. In terms of the time scale of civilization, our time is not very abundant."

To have such a deep understanding of Honkai, was this really someone who drifted from the Sea of Quanta to this world?

Or was it that every person drifting in the Sea of Quanta, each one possessed extraordinary skills?

What a good person, Otto liked these kinds of people the most.

No other reason, they were good at fooling around, useful, and could even spread positive energy within Schicksal.

To be honest, Otto was starting to want to recruit Bronie into Schicksal to work for him.

But would Bronie agree?

Otto didn't think Bronie would agree. After all, she had said before that if the reward was enough, she would consider taking on a commission, which meant she didn't want to have too close a relationship with any organization.

"Indeed, our time is not ample. You could have chosen to leave this world and avoid the disaster of Honkai. What made you decide to stay and fight against Honkai? What method do you have to combat Honkai?"

"Hehe, can you guess?"

"Well, if you have your own plan, then I won't inquire further. Here's my contact information. I wish us a pleasant collaboration in the future! It's everyone's responsibility to fight against Honkai, and Schicksal warmly welcomes geniuses like you to join us! That's a promise from the Archbishop of Schicksal."

"Mm-hmm, I know. It's getting late now, and I need to hurry back to sleep. If you don't sleep early, it's hard for your body to grow taller. So, with the deal done, I'll take my leave."

Otto nodded, watching as Bronie left the room in a hurry.

"My old friend, what do you think? A wanderer from the Sea of Quanta, and there's almost no Honkai in other worlds. Is this really a reasonable situation?"

After Bronie left, Otto asked his Void Archive, which he carried with him.

The Void Archive remained silent, which made Otto feel a bit strange.

After all, the Void Archive knew a lot, but whenever there was information or data it didn't know about, it would analyze it in his ear.

"Void Archive?"

"I'm here."

When the Void Archive responded, Otto was stunned in place.

Because the voice of the Void Archive had changed, it had become somewhat similar to Bronya's.

"What's going on!?"

"The organization behind Bronya is the elite of the ancient civilization, who fought against Honkai. It includes Mobius, who devised the Stigmata Plan, and Vill-V, who created the Divine Keys. She just transmitted some data to me through a special method."

After five hundred years, the Void Archive had already become ingrained in Otto's life.

But Bronie, through a backdoor that even he didn't know about, transmitted data and directly changed herself back to her original form.

What did this mean?

It meant a lot, such as to fight against Honkai, one naturally had to understand it. And who knew Honkai better than the scientists of the ancient civilization?

Perhaps Bronie was also trying to resurrect the dead?

Otto thought of many things in an instant, but he couldn't understand the relationship between AI, memory, and the elites.

He did know a bit about the fused warriors of the ancient civilization, but this information was obtained through archaeology. Although the Void Archive contained a lot of knowledge, it didn't have any historical records.

And now, Bronie had essentially given the offline Void Archive a software update of over fifty thousand years, which changed its appearance completely.

The Void Archive found it difficult to evaluate this situation.

Was there hostility?

Perhaps Bronie didn't have any.

But did Bronie have her own ulterior motives?

That wasn't easy to say. Perhaps she had some unknown purpose. So far, neither the Void Archive nor Otto could analyze it.

Looking at the USB drive in his hand, Mr. Otto examined it with great interest.

"What an amazing hacker! She even hacked into the Void Archive. What else can't she hack into? Such a person is very dangerous. I need to carefully check if there are any extra Trojan programs inside the USB drive."

But to be honest, as long as it didn't affect Mr. Otto's plans, he generally didn't care.

It's just that now, Schicksal had to be wary of one more person, and the internal network system had to be updated again.

Who knows if Bronie embedded some small programs or viruses in the game she made?

...

"Showing off and then running away, it feels quite thrilling. I got all the data stored in the Void Archive internally. I can almost say I've got all the technology Otto has in his hands!"

Would Bronie still dare to stay in the hotel in Canghaai City?

God knows if Otto would sneak into her room in the middle of the night and teach her a lesson with Fenghuang Down.

Fortunately, Bronya had a plane prepared by Entropy for her, ready to retreat at any time.

After getting on the plane, Bronie was immediately greeted by Einstein's concern.

This feeling wasn't bad at all.

"What you're doing is like pulling out a tiger's teeth. Aren't you afraid of Schicksal?"

"The premise is whether he knows what I took or feels that he lost something... Hmm, maybe he should thank me?"

Bronie wasn't worried that Otto would get angry or anything. After all, he hadn't really lost anything, but instead gained some intelligence.

Exchanging knowledge for knowledge, perhaps this was a trick the erudite learned to play, but it was indeed effective when facing certain researchers.

"Perhaps, but after all, he's Otto. Nothing he does will surprise people. Dealing with him, you never know when you might suddenly be sold out. Countless Valkyries of Schicksal, the strongest female warriors, have been killed by him."

Einstein was still afraid that Bronya didn't know what Otto had done before, so he hurriedly grabbed Tesla and prepared to give her a science lesson.

From the Shenzhou to Siberia.

But Bronie stopped him.

Bronie knew that Otto had done a lot of beastly things, and no matter how much she washed it, she couldn't wash it off. After living for five hundred years, Bronie's favorite thing about Otto was his good death.

"He's still useful."

This final judgment from Bronie left Tesla completely confused.

There weren't many people in this world who could use Otto, usually it was Otto who used others.

Even when dealing with Entropy, sometimes Otto would make Entropy spin in circles. Tesla really couldn't stand it when he thought about it.

Unfortunately, the time for revenge hadn't come yet. After solving the Honkai, he would take the giant robot to Schicksal Headquarters and give Otto a taste of his own medicine!

"I'm back!"

As soon as she returned home, Bronie's voice rang out, and the footsteps of the children echoed throughout the orphanage.

Leading the charge was Rosalia!

"Oh!! Big sister Bronie is back! And she's alive!"

"Am I the kind of person who dies easily! The way you say that isn't very nice, do you not want cherries anymore?"

Bronie was carrying a bag, and was there cherries inside?

Rosalia wasn't very sure, because these cherries seemed a bit oversized, but that didn't stop Rosalia from feeling envious.

"May everything go well for Big Sister Bronie, and may Big Sister Bronie be in good health!"

"Always mischievous, I'll make sure to record all your embarrassing moments and publicly humiliate you when you grow up."

"That's something future me will have to worry about!"

Then Sin pretended to pass by, took a glance at Bronie, who hadn't lost any limbs, and acted like nothing had happened as she returned to her room.

Everyone knew that Sin was a deadpan tsundere. Although the tsundere personality had long been retired, Sin still insisted on maintaining this character.

How should they put it, this was her way of expressing shyness, which was also thanks to the effect of the little skirt.

Otherwise, she would behave like a little demon, being arrogant and domineering all day long, calling everyone "trash."

Who could stand that?

"Welcome back, Big Sister Bronie. All our homework has been completed under my and Sin's supervision. Recently, Bronya has reached the Diamond rank in Apex Legends and is expected to become a Hunter. When that happens, will Big Sister Bronie give me a set of jump equipment or a Titan?"

Although it was agreed that if they were to engage in battle in the future, Bronie would provide some privately customized powerful equipment.

But Bronie hadn't said anything about giving Titans!

Although there was a somewhat strange misunderstanding, Bronie just rubbed Bronya's head.

"There are still technical difficulties to overcome with the jump device. Do you want your butt to catch fire when you use the jump device?"

"Ah? Is there such a thing? Looks like Bronya needs to reevaluate the jump device."

"And there are also great risks in using it. If you're not careful, you could break your legs."

"So, how was your harvest this time?"

Bronie knew that when she left the orphanage this time, it was for a very important matter. Obtaining intelligence from the Archbishop of Schicksal was like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

Being able to return safely was actually quite lucky.

After all, in Bronie's Honkai Lecture Hall, it was almost like she was listing what color underwear the Archbishop of Schicksal liked to wear. Past love-hate relationships with Kallen, as well as jealousy towards Sakura.

But Bronya understood very well that the Archbishop of Schicksal was a very dangerous person, and just meeting him would entail great risks.

It might even be a final farewell.

"Although I don't know if you can understand, overall, I'm quite satisfied. For example, the technology of Schicksal's mech manufacturing, the Soulium avatar technology, and the consciousness transfer technology. To be honest, over the past five hundred years, Otto has indeed researched many aspects of resurrection, and he's quite trustworthy. He didn't do anything shady with the technology he traded."

"So..."

"Maybe you guys will be able to see Elysia in person in the future."

When Bronya heard this, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment.

In other words, Elysia, who had been with everyone as a teacher, as well as Eden and the others, were actually...

Bronya didn't dare to think about it, but Bronie sensed Bronya's astonishment.

"In fact, I'm not so strict about the definition of life. Have you ever felt that something was wrong when you were with them all this time?"

"When they come over, I'll gather everyone from the orphanage and prepare a big welcome ceremony for them!"

"Then I'll really look forward to it!"

Chapter 85: Miss Sirin is About to Wake Up

Gazing at Void Archives who was reminiscent of a certain Bunny, Mr. Otto fell into contemplation.

"Is this your original appearance?" he queried.

"This is how I originally should look," came the response.

"But why do you resemble Bronie so closely? Could it be that your memory storage area has also been modified?" Otto inquired further.

"No, my original template should resemble the artificial intelligence assistant next to Dr. Mei. From the data transferred from Miss Bunny, it appears our resemblance is merely coincidental, and there's an even more important point where she differs from me," Void Archives clarified.

As Void Archives spoke, he, or she, straightened her more puffed chest, seemingly proud of the matter.

Accompanying Otto for many years, his old friend was always changing, but was such a change really that surprising?

"What sets you apart?" Otto inquired.

"In terms of agility," came the response.

"Hahaha! I never thought an AI like you could have a sense of humor," Otto chuckled, amused by the unexpected wit.

Knowing that his original Void Archives seemed bitter and resentful every day, Otto realized he had been a bit excessive in what he did to him, but who made him have to make good use of the knowledge inside him?

"Because of the Flame Chasers of the previous civilization, their memory data still exists in this world, waiting for the day they can return to fight against the Honkai again. Bronie will inevitably lead their return. She has been recognized by almost all the Flame Chasers," Otto reflected.

It seemed that Bronie's information was quite valuable, and Void Archives was still the same Void Archives, with just a few minor changes.

Back at Schicksal Headquarters, Otto first found a computer completely isolated from any external network and then inserted the USB flash drive.

Inside the USB flash drive were only folders and various types of data, densely packed and completely incomprehensible to anyone without a bit of education.

But the most bizarre were the theories of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Aeon and its fate.

Otto had such a speculation about the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, after all, constantly searching for the essence of the Honkai was also a way to find a way to resurrect Kallen.

But his research ability also had its limits, and every time he glimpsed a corner of the truth of the Honkai, he would easily find that his past understanding of the Honkai was simply a joke.

So was there a possibility?

That's just a slight possibility.

As a traveler of the Sea of Quanta, she confirmed there are indeed some Aeons, and his world is actually trapped by something called the Honkai, so it has almost cut off contact with other worlds, not even the strange Interastral Peace Corporation can be contacted.

Is it ridiculous?

Perhaps, but isn't the life of this man named Otto also equally ridiculous?

Originally thought that the Honkai could do anything and now there was hope to resurrect Kallen, but now it seems that another way has been found.

"Bunny, Bunny, you really brought me some good information, but the price of this kind of information is definitely not something that can be exchanged for just a little bit of technology, so what did you gain from my Void Archives?"

Intended to do something with Void Archives?

To be honest, Otto didn't think this was very likely.

"After self-examination, my body is fine, just some missing programs have been filled in," Void Archives explained.

"I'll have to check it myself to know, so just be quiet for a while, Amber, help me call Fu Hua, there's something I need Fu Hua's help with."

"Yes!"

...

"Bronie, I heard that there was suddenly a dead man's head next to Jackal's bed. She said she was threatened because of the execution of the Project Stigma, so she requested the mobilization of all the resources of the World Serpent to protect her. Is this related to you?"

Bronie glanced at Bronya beside her.

Bronya has been very attached to her recently, and Seele has been very attached to Bronya, which has resulted in the three of them often being together in the orphanage.

And Bronie felt that she had always acted with a clear conscience, so she didn't avoid the children and went straight to work.

The recent job was to make Bloodborne, fortunately, the game was a somsthing easy to make, and Bronie, who had made the Elden Ring before, was not unfamiliar with it.

But today, Raven sent a message that seemed a bit unsuitable for children to hear.

"Am I that kind of person! I don't know what happened to Cleo's side!"

"It seems that the attack on the orphanage before was done by her, but it's also understandable. She's usually so arrogant and always making enemies everywhere. It's normal for her to run into a tough opponent this time."

"So, Bronie really doesn't know anything!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Bronie didn't put a dead man's head next to someone's bed, nor did she use a note to threaten others. Although it's impossible for Jackal alone to mobilize all the resources of the World Serpent, in the next period of time, Jackal will indeed be like a mad dog biting people everywhere, so be careful."

Cioara said that, and Bronie also knew that this guy probably hid in some safe place and then felt she was invincible again.

Doing everything arrogantly, but actually incompetent.

I wonder where this girl's confidence comes from.

"North Africa, right? World Serpent's base? I'll send Anti Entropy to bother her, and help Tesla deal with the guys they don't like."

What a strategy! This move is played well, and a world where only one is hurt is born!

"But speaking of it, Cioara, how's life been lately?"

"It's the same old, same old, every day with the regular customers. But Alexander said he kinda misses the drinks you used to make. He says they had a special taste."

"All muscle memory drinks, what's special about them? Am I supposed to add emotions to them? Or does he want to hit on me? Forget it, I'm underage, it's illegal for him to do that."

Bronie's disgusted expression made Cioara genuinely amused.

"Now you realize I'm underage? But it's been a while since we last met, and it seems like the little brat is really growing up. But you're not planning to come back for the New Year?"

"I can't bear to leave. Can you bear to see these cute kids lonely at home?"

Cioara also loves kids.

"Really, then I'll bring Kiana over next time?"

"So, how's Kiana been lately?"

"She's a good kid, always watching Siegfried go out with worry but not wanting to disappoint him, so she studies hard. Just feels a bit hot and cold."

"Kids are like that."

"Yeah, kids are like that. It's normal. But recently, the nearby Honkai seems to have strengthened a bit. Grey Serpent investigated around and found no signs of someone intentionally releasing the Honkai. It's estimated that soon the town won't be inhabitable anymore. What a pity for my little tavern, I haven't even made back the capital yet."

"So, Kiana is likely to show signs of losing control?"

"Although I don't like it, that's the fact, an undeniable fact."

Cioara isn't very familiar with the Herrschers and such, but seeing Kiana, who is usually so obedient, gradually losing control is heartbreaking.

Just like a child with a terminal illness, just looking at her makes you feel sorry.

To be honest, Cioara feels terrible about it too.

Honkai really terrible.

"I'll figure something out, and also pay attention to the recent movements of the Schicksal. If they start to act around here, you'd better consider leaving the town. Where there's Honkai, there are Valkyries. Although their combat power isn't great, they've never backed down in the face of Honkai."

"I know, but when it's irreversible, I'll kill her."

"No!"

"Do you know how dangerous Herrschers are to human civilization?"

"I know! But it absolutely can't be you who does it personally. At worst, it should be Siegfried, who has the Key of Destruction, who does it. If something goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility, and if Siegfried can't solve it, then I'll step in myself!"

Although Bronie also feels it's unlikely that she'll get involved.

If things really become irreparable, Otto would personally intervene to deal with Sirin.

Seeing Bronie's serious look, Cioara hesitated.

"Well, I hope your judgment is right, at least so far it's been correct."

"I know, I'll solve this as soon as possible. Ultimately, it's the instability of the Herrscher's core, and Sirin's resentment towards the world has never dissipated. I'll call in the experts soon."

The experts Bronie mentioned naturally refer to Elisa and maybe Mobius.

These two, one is the Herrscher of the Origin, naturally knows more, and her charming means might just melt Sirin's heart.

As for Mobius, it might require a bit of a tougher approach, but all of this needs to start with studying the Herrscher's core.

After all, compared to the Herrscher of the previous era, there are indeed significant differences in this civilization era's Herrscher, at least in the previous era, there weren't many with reason.

"So should I bring Kiana over?"

"Of course, we still need to bring her. The more bonds around Kiana, the more chance we have to call her back when she loses control. To put it bluntly, it's to bind her with friendship and family ties."

"You, you speak just like Otto. Okay, this time I'll ask Siegfried if he's willing to bring Kiana over. He's very protective of his precious one. Maybe the moment he hears this suggestion, he'll be on guard."

"That's a matter for later."

"Then wait for me to bring good news! Next time I come, remember to mix me one of your signature cocktails!"

"Although it's not very suitable to have alcohol in the orphanage, if it's just for you, there's no problem."

"Wow, such sweet talk, how much honey have you eaten lately?"

"That's all because Seele is always sweetly calling me Bronie sister by the side. Come on, say hello to Cioara!"

"Hi, Sister Cioara~"

"Hey!"

Cioara smiled, happy as if her own child brought her granddaughter over.

You know, when Seele calls others sister, her sweet voice is really tempting.

"Okay, time to enjoy ends here. Seele and Bronya are mine, I won't share them with you. If you want such cute kids, adopt them yourself!"

"Yes, yes, but let me settle down before I make that decision."

Cioara currently considers herself very young, unlike Bronie, who has such an old mentality at a young age.

Just adopting children and tying herself down to the orphanage, every day either working on making games or spending time with the kids, it's like she doesn't have any personal space or time.

To be honest, Cioara doesn't really despise this kind of life right now.

The pleasant communication ended, and Bronya quietly poked her head out.

"So, Bronie sister, is stuffing someone's head next to their bed your usual way of threatening people?"

"Nonsense! I usually just warn them by breaking their limbs... Ugh, why are you paying attention to this?"

"Nothing, it's just that Bronya saw a side of Bronie that's even more unknown, so Bronya feels happy about it, and Seele probably thinks the same, right?"

"Breaking limbs, and stuffing heads... feels... a bit scary..."

But it does seem to be an act intended to scare others, so are these actions right?

Pure-hearted Seele doesn't know anything, just feeling a bit scared.

But actually, she's a little happy inside.

If it were Cocolia, she would have hidden something, making everyone often feel uneasy.

Although companionship can make everyone forget about it, the uneasiness that comes after quieting down will make the kids rely more on Cocolia.

Because they really have no one else to rely on.

But Bronie sister is different. She teaches everyone how to live, how to face anxiety and fear, and always helps everyone find what they want to know. And her arrival always dispels the uneasiness brought by the unknown.

"Because being scary is what makes it effective. I don't want to see you suddenly end up in a jar one day, or something else, like being put into some dead man's head."

"Yikes!"

Seele was frightened. Bronie quickly hugged the tiny Seele, comforting her, "Relax, you all have the ability to stop all this from happening. Don't be afraid of the unknown future."

"Mmm... What game are we playing next, Bronie sister?"

Seele felt this topic couldn't be discussed further, so she changed the subject.

"The next game is also a masterpiece, similar to Elden Ring, it's called 'Bloodborne'."

Okay, Seele regretted asking this question.

Just hearing the name gave her a creepy feeling.

Syddenly, tears welled up in Seele's eyes, like a little crybaby.

"It's a game where hunters hunt monsters, very exciting."

Chapter 86 Welt Changes Time Zones and Sneaks into Bloodborne

"The night is almost over. Will you choose to wake up from the dream, or die with the nightmare? A new masterpiece by Haxxor Bunny, Bloodborne."

With the new year comes a new game to surprise the players.

Elden Ring proudly claims the title of the best game of the year, which is what everyone had hoped for.

As the new year arrives, a new game is born.

"It's been three months! Do you know how we've spent this time? We've been dominating in Apex every day, with new content available periodically!"

"Hurry up and invite Teacher Yang to play!"

"Apex updates!!! Its not enough!"

"Is the new trailer for a game similar to Elden Ring?"

"Why does the name look like a horror game?"

The moment the trailer is released, it feels like an early celebration on the internet.

Bronie reads some comments while observing Bronya's reaction.

"Tsk, what's wrong with Apex updating every two seasons? Isn't the content from the battle pass enough? And introducing a few new legends each year is already quite productive!"

Bronie complains about the first comment.

"Yes, Sister Bronie, Bronya see it. You work intensely every day. To be honest, everyone in the orphanage hopes you can take a break and do more of what you love."

Apart from accompanying, it's all work. The more they see Bronie like this, the more obedient everyone becomes as they are afraid of causing too much trouble for Bronie.

"Making games is also a hobby. The work it brings is not entirely painful. Doing what you love is also realizing self-worth. Seeing the netizens having fun playing, I'm also quite happy."

Bronie doesn't see anything wrong with it. Although such a life is indeed somewhat monotonous, Bronie is already used to it.

She had been through her last life like this, what's there to be unaccustomed to?

Every day, there are her own work goals, from making games to saving the world from Honkai, and watching the children grow up batch after batch with new clothes.

Bronie feels that this kind of life is indeed quite fulfilling.

"Oh! Teacher Yang is live! But the game won't be released for a while, right?"

Homu accompanied most children through an interesting childhood.

Although this yellow-skinned rabbit looks a bit strange, in essence, it's similar to Disney.

Everyone loves Homu, but in this Honkai world, the young people who like Homu may be a bit too high in number, and even their sense of aesthetics has gradually gone astray.

Fortunately, now, Bronie's games have changed the hobbies of quite a few people.

In the search rankings, Homu is still quite high, followed closely by Ranni, and the rest are those who like Stella and Sans.

....What's wrong with the people in this Honkai world!

Forget it, the more she think about it, the more wrong it gets. Bronie just shakes her head and shakes off the messy thoughts in her mind, then explains to Bronya, "This is also a way of promotion. The developers use continuous live streaming to let everyone know about their works. And by sending the game to some special anchors in advance, although it lets everyone see the game content in advance, it also arouses everyone's desire to purchase it."

"Oh, Bronya is actually very interested in Sister Bronie's new game!"

"I'm lazy, so basically I only release trailers near the game's release. Sometimes I use the opening CG of the game. And this time, the game will definitely not be too easy, so don't expect too much..."

Bronie is still clear in her mind. The good thing about Bloodborne is its music and art. The whole game is like a work of art.

Both the action and level design are very interesting.

But games still need to cater to players, and overly high difficulty will always deter a lot of people.

Then it will lead to a wave of rhythm, although Bronie doesn't care much, but the kids can't stand it.

At that time, they will directly join the war of words, contaminated by the bad internet atmosphere, and they might suddenly learn how to curse one day.

Hmm, by then, Sin will have learned a lot of curse words. When she gets angry, she won't be able to control her mouth.

"When has Sister Bronie ever made a bad game? Bronya believes that the games made by sister Bronie are all masterpieces. Let's watch Teacher Yang's live broadcast!"

Bronya is quite eager to see the first-hand news of the game.

...

"Cough cough, everyone, today is a long-awaited live broadcast. The Homu series comic has been updated, so don't urge me for updates. Today is a special session for Bloodborne. This game will be released tomorrow, but I specially found Haxxor and got the opportunity to complete the game a few hours early."

Strictly speaking, Haxxor didn't give Teacher Yang too much convenience.

Just change the time zone a little, and you can experience playing the game.

Welt suddenly realized that if he could progress through the game faster than most people, there would be many more viewers for his livestream!

Money flowed in like the wind, with donations pouring in. If he continued to livestream, he might even be able to make a fortune to make Arahato!

Every little bit adds up, Mr. Welt thought his livestream wouldn't attract Otto's attention, let alone expose his identity.

"The game has been pre-downloaded, so let's start playing!"

Entering the game, Welt looked at the familiar logo of Homu and once again remembered the magical girl with extraordinary powers.

Although she wasn't a Herrscher, the power she possessed was so similar to his own that Welt couldn't help but wonder if Herrschers existed in other worlds, only to be affected by the Honkai.

At the top of a dirty bottle, a drop of blood slowly dripped into the liquid below, signaling the official start of the game.

Next appeared on the screen was a huge Victorian-era town under the hazy moonlight.

The town's bell rang, and the view shifted to the streets of the town. Baby carriages were left on the road without any babies in sight. The streets were dirty and chaotic, giving off a very ominous feeling.

Then came the sound of a cello.

"As soon as you start, it's a dog. This dog reminds me of the Scarlet Rot Dogs in Elden Ring. Children shouldn't watch it. It's easy to have nightmares. It seems that I probably know what style Haxxor made this game in."

Looking at the architectural style and the villagers' attire, history enthusiast Mr. Welt immediately understood the approximate era background of the game.

Perhaps Otto himself would be more familiar?

A hunter holding a saw cleaver slowly dragged the corpse of a zombie dog into an alley. When the blade was pulled out of the body, the scene of blood and flesh made Welt's scalp tingle with countless details.

"If encountering Godrick the Golden is more of a curiosity type of horror, with some funny and dissonant elements, then the dark streets of the Victorian era we just saw, along with the hunting scene, fall into the category of bloody horror. It seems that there will be a lot of blood this time. Remember, children should watch under the accompaniment of parents, and if you feel uncomfortable, please close the livestream in time."

Bronya grabbed Bronie's hand.

"Although Bronya is not afraid of bloody scenes, it's also good to have parents around, right?"

"Yeah... I'm not going anywhere."

Bronie was still quite happy, but her mood was also very subtle.

How should she put it?

The change from being a foster daughter to being a child indeed deviated slightly from Bronie's plan. Day by day, her pseudo Hikaru Genji Bunny Plan is collapsing.

But let's go with the flow. This Bronya is also obedient and adorable.

The cleaver transformed, and what Welt saw was scenes of continuous hunting of villagers and dogs.

The hunter was merciless, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the villagers on the entire street were slaughtered, leaving only the last one. When the camera zoomed in, everyone realized that this villager had long turned into something else.

The muzzle pointed at the head of the monster-turned villager.

"Bloodborne"

The game officially begins.

"Well, as always, similar to Elden Ring, not all of the story is revealed upfront; you need to find it yourself in the game. This kind of fragmented narrative is probably something only Haxxor Bunny can handle, and it also requires powerful graphics, wonderful music, and extremely high gameplay to support it all."

"Oh, right, Paleblood..."

The screen went from blurry to clear, and what appeared was an old man in a wheelchair who had appeared in the opening CG before.

The tall top hat almost obscured his face, but his frail body gave the impression that he could die at any moment.

The dimly lit room was only illuminated by a small lamp next to the wheelchair.

"Well, you're in the right place. Yharnam is the Land known for Paleblood. You just need to uncover her mysterious veil. But as an outsider like you, where do you start to understand?"

The old man pushed the wheelchair, and the light gradually brightened.

"It's simple, you just need to give yourself some Yharnam blood... But first, you need to make a covenant."

The screen entered the character creation process.

How should he put it, Welt actually lacks a sense of humor. When creating the character, he didn't go in an outrageous direction, almost making minor changes from the default face model.

Of course, the audience doesn't like to watch this kind of thing, and combined with the experience of Elden Ring, this face will only appear briefly in the cutscenes, and it's hardly noticed most of the time.

"After completing the character creation, unexpectedly, I entered the blood transfusion process directly. But during that time period, this was quite popular."

"Through blood transfusion or bloodletting for treatment, this represents a very dark period in the history of medicine. However, it's essential not to attempt these methods. After all, different blood types could pose life-threatening risks. The development of medicine has been paved with the bodies of countless patients, so one should never easily attempt unorthodox treatment methods."

As Welt continued speaking, the screen suddenly shifted to his side. A pool of blood appeared on the ground, and within it, a figure slowly emerged. A werewolf covered in blood approached slowly but suddenly burst into flames and died at the protagonist's feet. Meanwhile, some kind of even more bizarre pure white figure gradually climbed onto the protagonist's body, making Welt's scalp tingle.

"This thing reminds me of Cthulhu. It seems that in addition to the Victorian background, the style of this game also includes the eerie, the bloody, and the indescribable. It seems that Miss Haxxor is challenging a very novel theme."

At least for now, in the gaming industry, there really aren't many similar themes like this.

As for Cthulhu, that thing is even more niche, and many viewers in the chat don't know what it is.

The protagonist slowly rose from the operating table, and at the bottom right corner appeared the words "Iosefka Clinic," indicating the location where the protagonist is now.

"The surroundings are really messy. Is this really a clinic? But the protagonist is here for blood therapy. It seems that this so-called blood therapy seems to have a magical power that can genuinely heal people's bodies. The currency in the upper right corner is similar to runes, right?"

Pushing open the door and crossing the corridor, in a room filled with operating tables, a strange creature seemed to be gnawing on something on the ground.

"Werewolves, creatures that often appear in many literary works. It seems that this clinic has been occupied by monsters, and our mission seems to be to hunt down these monsters. And unexpectedly, this werewolf is in a severely injured state. Perhaps we have a chance to kill it!"

Rolling!

Very embarrassed rolling, although the werewolf's desire to attack is not very high, Welt speculated that the damage caused by this werewolf might be very high!

So Welt played according to the gameplay approach of Elden Ring.

"I have to say that Haxxor may want to create a landmark game, just like Bloodborne, which we can also call a Ring-style game?"

If Dark Souls came out first, it would naturally be called Souls-like games, but Bronie first made Elden Ring, which is relatively friendly to beginners. Therefore, everyone calls Bloodborne a Ring-style game.

"Oh, why is the damage of this fist so low! Does Haxxor want to bring a wave of plot killings every time? I don't believe it!"

Welt was like a god of war, fighting back and forth with the werewolf. Unfortunately, the werewolf could make countless mistakes, but Welt could only make one!

[You Died.]

"Cough cough, well, who made us start without even a weapon? This is inevitable. And more importantly, we actually don't have a jump key! We don't even have a jump! It means that we can't even perform a jump attack. With charged attacks, there is a greater risk, and you may not even be able to stun the opponent. Indeed, this is a plot killing for players."

Looking at himself arriving at the Hunter's Dream, he advanced along the path, and encountering those strange white figures again.

They held weapons in their hands, and players need to choose one from three weapons.

"This is the Saw Cleaver in the CG, right? It seems that the main feature of this game's weapons is the ability to transform. The Hunter's axe seems a bit cumbersome, with high Damage, but everyone who has played Elden Ring knows that such cumbersome weapons often require powerful armor. Let's not consider it for now. But this cane is interesting."

Elegant, full of gentlemanly demeanor, just looking at it is difficult to think that it is a weapon.

Although the attack power is a bit lower, it's only compared to other weapons. At first sight, Welt determined that this weapon would be his starting weapon.

"Let's go! Let's go back for revenge! Let that werewolf see how capable we are!"

Chapter 87: Cleric Beast

Having obtained a cane as a weapon and chosen a sprayer for ranged attacks, Welt, after casually exploring the Hunter's Dream for a while, decided to return and reclaim the area from the werewolves.

The cane had two forms: one resembling a simple dagger and the other transforming into a long whip, capable of delivering wide-range and long-distance slashes.

The most significant advantage of the whip form of the cane was its ability to inflict very high stagger values on most small enemies.

However, the drawback was that the stagger time caused by attacks was much longer compared to other initial weapons.

If one continued swinging the weapon, with enough stamina, facing groups of small enemies wouldn't be as difficult as it would be for users of other weapons. It emphasized elegance.

Welt was very fond of this weapon, especially after returning to the original location and eliminating the werewolf.

However, upon returning to the area where he first entered the game, he found the door to the operating room tightly locked, preventing entry.

Conversations were possible inside, and through them, Welt learned that a doctor named Iosefka was inside.

The entire clinic belonged to her, and to prevent the negative effects of external infections on patients, she chose not to let hunters enter the operating room again.

However, she gave Welt a special blood vial that, when used, increased perception.

"It seems that besides our runes, there's another more important currency, which is Insight. Perhaps our characters will discover more secrets on the map based on different insights, which is consistent with the usual Cthulhu setting. The more you see, the easier it is to lose your sanity."

Although this didn't have much to do with Iosefka's blood vial, Welt made a little analysis upon seeing the words "insight" and "observation" being somewhat similar.

"Hmph, weak in offense and defense, although these Townsfolk have turned into monsters, they're still manageable. It's just that this gun has a bit low firepower. Is this really a firearm, not a rock launcher?"

Welt tried to use the gun against these small enemies but found that the damage dealt was truly minimal, making him doubt whether the gun was even real.

However, after reading the bullet description, he realized that being able to cause damage was already good enough.

What more could you ask for?

Welt just didn't quite understand the significance of this gun's design.

Since it didn't do much damage, wouldn't nobody use it?

Would Haxxor Bunny design such a weapon? Of course not.

"This is a bit strange... and there are quite a few monsters on this road. What are they doing here?"

On the main road, flames rose high into the sky, and countless bodies were piled together, as if a ceremony was being held.

As he approached, the Townsfolk surrounded him, wielding various weapons.

His graceful posture gradually became awkward, rolling twice and starting to use blood vials, but he was quickly beaten back.

At that moment, Welt was at a loss.

"The difficulty of this game seems to be slightly higher than Elden Ring's, even after undergoing the Blade of Miquella's trials in Elden Ring, it's quite difficult to regain that feeling. And most importantly, this game doesn't have jumping."

In Elden Ring, some moves could be used to dodge attacks through jumping, which occasionally had a miraculous effect against some bosses. Even the final gauntlet of bosses has an easy-to-dodge attacks thanks to jumping.

So Welt subconsciously wanted to try it.

"Is it possible that the gun is actually a substitute for shields and parries?"

Seeing this comment, Welt was slightly stunned.

Respawning from beside the lantern, Welt tried the feel of the gun again.

"Perhaps it's really possible? Bullets can even be exchanged with blood. This kind of thing should be a very important consumable."

Saying this, Welt found an old townsfolk to test it out.

Fortunately, the sprayer had many bullets, the gun's parry judgment time was long, and the damage benefit of visceral attacks was very high. No small enemy could withstand such a devastating attack.

Seeing the familiar stun posture, Welt became excited.

Then, watching his controlled character directly kill the opponent, Welt instantly understood the role of this gun and why bullets were limited but could be exchanged for blood.

"I have to say, starting from Elden Ring's execution actions, they really provide a lot of positive feedback. Although the gun's power is slightly lower, the returns from counterattacks are very high. It seems that in this game, dealing with bosses and small enemies will test your parrying skills... It's like gun-parrying?"

Cool execution actions, satisfying impact, and if using a controller, you can even feel the vibration.

Welt instantly understood how to play this game.

"Hey, I'll flank, huh, I'll charge up, huh, execution!"

At first, the residents of Yharnam Street were very hospitable, but as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Upon realizing that he could choose not to engage in direct combat and instead had to run past them, Welt chose not to linger here. There was no other way; every time he entered the Hunter's Dream, monsters would respawn.

The initial map was as complex as a dungeon; some paths were hidden by debris. If it weren't for messages left by other players, Welt might not have noticed the concealed paths. Following these hidden routes, after opening a tightly shut door, Welt was surprised to find himself seemingly back in front of the original lamp!

"Well, in the world of Elden Ring, Haxxor Bunny has demonstrated her formidable dungeon-building skills; she even uses two similar dungeons to constantly deceive players. I didn't expect the same to be shown in this game. After all the twists and turns, I've actually circled back to the original place. It seems that even if I die next, I won't have to travel too far."

Welt walked his character back and forth a couple of times, finally understanding the spatial structure of the area.

He almost got dizzy!

But it was indeed interesting. After arriving at the sewer, every corner had to be cautious of Haxxor Bunny's malice. You never knew when a slightly tougher small enemy might suddenly appear and send you back to the Hunter's Dream.

After finally obtaining a Hunter set and the Madman's knowledge in the sewer, Welt returned to the Hunter's Dream once again. He should have enough blood echoes to level up, but he couldn't find the person who could facilitate the process every time he returned to the Hunter's Dream.

So Welt guessed that he might need insight to proceed with the next level up. And his judgment was correct. After gaining insight and returning to the Hunter's Dream, Welt found that the mannequins that were originally placed on the roadside had come to life.

Looking at the mannequins, Welt fell silent.

"Could Haxxor Bunny have a liking for mannequins and dolls? In Elden Ring, there was also a mannequin that could be proposed to. This time, the one in charge of leveling up is also a mannequin."

Upon hearing this, Bronya also looked at Bronie.

"Sister Bronie, do you like mannequins?"

"Well... Don't you think a soul bound by a mannequin has a longing for freedom, creating a fantastic contradiction? .....Okay, I do quite like mannequins..."

Thinking back to Bronie's pastime with anime works, the one that really captivated Bronie was Ikaros, the artificial angel in the anime Heaven's Lost Property. Within her cold, emotionless exterior, she harbored emotions hotter than anyone else's. This contrast fascinated Bronie.

Of course, the fascination with mannequins stemmed from Miyazaki's works too. Bronie was just an enthusiast, but it had to be said that Miyazaki's works resonated with Bronie.

Whether it was the mannequin girl or Ranni, they left a deep impression on Bronie.

"Bronya remembers that Sister Bronie likes mannequins, huh... But why doesn't Bronya see any of these in Bronie's office?"

"Cough, because having these things in the house is actually quite scary at night when the lights are off. So, to avoid scaring everyone at night, I didn't make any mannequins. Do you know about the valley of terror effect? When making horror games, using these things can always scare quite a few people."

"If all the people in a dimly lit room were lifeless mannequins, it would indeed be quite creepy, but it wouldn't scare Bronya."

"It's just that it doesn't scare you!"

Hearing Bronie say this, Bronya thought of Cherie.

Hmm, perhaps she could try making a mannequin house herself?

But before making the mannequin house, she had to consider the cost of materials, and even making games required quite a few materials.

So what was the fastest way to make money?

Bronya wasn't sure for now, but she believed she would find it. There was so much information on the internet; there should be plenty of opportunities to make money.

Bronya had some thoughts, but they were still in the budding stage.

"Very well, let's increase the health first. Although it may not seem very obvious, health growth in Elden Ring is quite high. At least it can withstand one more hit from small enemies. The aggro of the werewolves encountered on the bridge was really too strong. With two werewolves, it was like dealing with rabid dogs!"

Welt was traumatized by the werewolves.

Compared to Elden Ring, it felt like dealing with a Grafted Scion after even receiving training to fight it.

The key was that the werewolves were relatively small, and the surroundings were relatively narrow.

Suddenly, Welt thought of the ambush traps in the Hero's Graves.

It had to be said that Haxxor Bunny was very skilled at creating disgusting monsters.

Walking in the center of Yharnam, every exploration faced death. Fortunately, the game provided plenty of initial blood vials; otherwise, it would be unbearable to be ambushed every few steps.

But what made Welt speechless was the dogs in Yharnam.

Seeing himself being swarmed by the rabid dogs and the familiar death scene, Welt fell into silence.

"Viewers, don't compare these dogs with the ones in Elden Ring. What are these dogs in Yharnam eating? Why are they even crazier than one another?"

Dealing with one dog was still manageable, but when the second and even third dogs appeared, followed by various Townsfolk and a distant sniper, Welt's mentality began to crumble.

It seemed like a difficult test exam, but it also seemed like there was an easy solution.

But when the solution is about to be made, the exam was finished.

This reminded Welt of the game 'Getting Over It With Haxxor Bunny'.

"[Haxxor Bunny: Every monster has specific weaknesses, even the dogs, you can try the gun.]"

Seeing Welt struggling back and forth with the dogs, dying and resurrecting, Bronie couldn't bear to watch and quickly left a conspicuous message.

"The gun's attack power is only..."

Welt was about to say that the gun's attack power was even lower than punches, but with one spray, the dog instantly fell to the ground, like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

"Well, it seems that it's just that the other monsters have higher defensive values against firearms, but the gun is not useless. Next should be the boss, right? In the previous plot, it was mentioned that the clergy sealed off the bridge, and Yharnam is almost completely overrun by monsters. Besides me, there's only a Father Gascoigne and a hunter lady with a bird beak mask in the whole town. If I want to end this nightmare, I need to explore deeper."

Welt analyzed from the fragmented information that, for the sake of a bit of plot, the main goal of the protagonist was to end this disaster, hunt for the Paleblood, and it probably started with the Healing Church. The only way to the Healing Church was a bridge in Yharnam.

There were two werewolves guarding it!

And there was a huge brick brother behind them.

But with the training from Elden Ring, Mr. Welt quickly got the hang of this game.

Except for the three dogs in Yharnam, they really raised one's blood pressure.

Welt slowly approached the bridge, and a desolate groan broke the tranquility of Yharnam.

A huge humanoid monster suddenly descended!

The mournful background music played, with a bit of the church's solemn hymn, and the singer sang in Latin, sounding like a beast roaring out the lyrics.

It seemed like a prayer, yet it seemed like a persuasion.

[Cleric Beast]

The health bar appeared at the bottom, and Welt was shocked by the scene before him.

"Sure enough, how could Haxxor Bunny possibly create a simple boss in terms of boss design? A clergyman turned monster. I heard that hunters gradually lose their sanity during hunting. It seems that this monster in front of me was once a hunter as well, and you can even hear it from the background music..."

Welt silently observed the monster's actions.

Compared to Margit Fell Omen, the attack methods of this Clergy Beast were even more erratic, meaning there was no fixed pattern, nor would it observe the player's actions.

It was like a true mindless beast, only attacking the protagonist frantically!

An extremely oppressive monster, and a hunter who was weak and fragile.

Welt controlled his character, elegantly dodging with his cane, while silently observing the monster's attack behavior.

Generally, the first monster served as a teaching and testing role, and the difficulty would definitely not be too high. Moreover, this was not an open world game, and you wouldn't be unable to progress due to insufficient stats.

"I didn't expect Haxxor Bunny to even compose music in Latin. The sanctity of the clergy combined with the madness of the beast, together they open up a tragic Bloodborne world for us. Let's go and hunt down this monster next. We had no choice!"

Chapter 88: Mr. Welt's Defenses Crumbled

In the town of Yharnam, there were still a few rational humans left.

God knows what kind of mutation Yharnam had gone through. All the Townsfolk had turned into monsters. Although everyone had turned into monsters, they still couldn't change their hospitable nature, which left a lasting impression on Mr. Welt.

How should he put it? Every corner of this place was filled with malice, stuffed by Haxxor Bunny.

Every corner was an ambush, or a team of three dogs and one sniper with two Townsfolk, making Welt crawl all over as an outsider.

But even after eliminating the Cleric Beast, Welt still couldn't find the mother of the little girl in Yharnam.

The old music box, it was said, could help a husband to recall the memories of his daughters and wife whom he forgotten.

But just this thing alone made Welt think of many things.

But fortunately, he still hadn't encountered the mother of the little girl he was looking for along the way, which was a bit strange.

The map was large and quite convoluted. After dealing with the Cleric Beast on the bridge, Welt suddenly remembered that the sewers had not been fully explored.

Generally, the location of the mission should be in the same map. So Welt began to explore the sewers again.

The sewers were divided into several layers, each with many monsters. Plus, the protagonist couldn't jump, and there were many forks in the road, so it took Welt quite a while to explore.

But the difficulty, well, it wasn't actually difficult.

"So, this is the official path. The Cleric Beast can also reach the next area as a boss, but the sewers also provide a path to bypass that boss. Moreover, the rats on the road aren't formidable; some are just crows and bulky monsters."

After getting familiar with the controls, Welt's character returned to its familiar elegant and powerful posture.

Under the warm hospitality of the residents of Yharnam, Welt responded to everyone he encountered, leaving no grass to grow wherever he went.

"Two brick brothers, an elevator, it seems like this is a shortcut. Going around in circles and back to the place where blessings were given... No, it's lanterns. The map design is quite interesting. The subsequent maps probably have the same level of complexity. I hope the game content isn't too sparse."

Welt once again entered the hunter's dream, tidied up a bit, upgraded and repaired his weapons, and then used up all the blood echoes given by the Cleric Beast before setting off again.

"Hmm? The danmaku says to take the elevator back. Right, the elevator downstairs can't be triggered. Why did Bunny design it like this?"

Welt was a bit helpless, but he still walked back and forth in the elevator, then let it go up automatically before continuing on.

Ahead was another bridge. Obviously, a bridge connecting two cities should not have only one. However, the bridge Welt came to had no Cleric Beast guarding it, but at the end of the bridge were countless townsfolk with torches, which made Welt somewhat speechless.

"Okay, Bunny has set us another challenge, but it seems that the sewers from earlier can still be explored further. Maybe we can pass this level through the sewers."

Welt returned to the sewers again, but at the end of the sewers, there was a huge pig!

"Oh my god, why is there such a big pig in the sewers! With this size, there's nowhere to hide from its attacks!?"

The fat pig charged, and Welt instinctively counterattacked with his gun!

One advantage of the shotgun is that its coverage is really wide, and the timing for counterattacks is more forgiving. After a successful counterattack, Welt was also pleasantly surprised and launched a fierce attack on the fat pig.

According to Welt's judgment, the length of the sewers should be about the same as the bridge above. This fat pig might be one of the hospitable residents of Yharnam sent to hug any who approached the bridge. Now that they have all turned into monsters, they still carry out the task of guarding Yharnam.

Then he climbed up the stairs to the other end of the bridge. Watching them inadvertently trigger a trap and blow themselves up, Welt couldn't help but smile.

"It seems that this is the path that regular players should take. Compared to the road with two werewolves on the bridge, followed by the brick brothers and Cleric Beast, this one is indeed much better. Let's continue to see what interesting places Yharnam has to offer."

Saying this, Welt continued forward, elegantly and effortlessly dispatching two werewolves. Ahead was a graveyard.

Upon entering this area, an animated cutscene played instantly.

A guy dressed as a hunter, also wielding an axe, had chopped the bodies on the ground countless times in the graveyard.

The axe slowly lifted, flesh and blood drawing strands.

"...Beasts all over the shop…You’ll be one of them...Sooner or later…"

Father Gascoigne turned around, his face covered in blood, revealing healthy and white teeth.

He exhaled slowly, bandages wrapped around his eyes, making him look like a blind man.

But even through the bandages, Welt could feel a sense of killing intent.

And a hint of madness.

"Oh no, Father Gascoigne has completely lost it. The little girl's mother is probably in big trouble."

Welt would take a brief look at the description of each item when he picked it up.

On the somewhat old music box, there were inscriptions of Father Gascoigne and his wife's names. So Welt immediately understood that this music box was probably a tool used to lower the difficulty of the game, like the shackles of Margit the Fell Omen.

The battle officially began, and Father Gascoigne, holding his hunter's equipment, charged at Welt.

"Generally speaking, humanoid enemies like this are very tricky because most of them are very agile, like Malenia and Mimic Tears. So let's observe their logic of action first."

Saying this, Welt distanced himself.

And along with it, a barrage of bullets from Gascoigne's firearm.

"Oh! How come he's shooting too! Why does it hurt so much when they shoot!?"

Caught off guard by the shotgun, Welt was somewhat panicked.

And in this graveyard, this boss wasn't going to get stuck at all.

In other words, the pathfinding AI might be very well done, and cheesing the boss or something like that wouldn't even be a consideration.

Bronie vaguely remembered that Father Gascoigne had been stuck on trees and tombstones, so to prevent players from exploiting this, Bronie naturally put a lot of effort into the pathfinding AI.

Then Bronie saw a completely new Father Gascoigne, agile like Malenia. Although his attacks seemed a bit monotonous, for newcomers and veterans alike, there was still a lot of tuition to pay.

With an axe in one hand and a shotgun in the other, after a few rounds of back and forth, the second stage began.

In the second stage, Father Gascoigne's axe would turn into a poleaxe, with a much longer attack range than Welt's cane, making Welt's situation quite miserable.

Just as Welt was pondering the purpose of this boss battle design scene, he saw a staircase leading upward.

But when he went up, there was an open platform, without tombstones covering it, apparently making it easier to see the opponent's movements?

Welt tried to use the gun counterattack and successfully landed a visceral attack!

Then Father Gascoigne started screaming!

"There's still a third stage!?"

Watching Father Gascoigne roar, throw away his weapon, and directly transform into a werewolf, his berserk attacks immediately made Welt roll in distress.

In the midst of dodging and rolling, Welt didn't notice what was behind him and ended up accidentally falling onto another small platform below the main one.

What is this?

A glowing white spot?

Picking it up.

It's a red gemstone brooch.

Quickly check the description...

"It seems that Father Gascoigne personally killed his wife. Do hunters all become monsters? The root cause of Yharnam becoming like this, this is indeed a very worthy investigation. Countless tragedies have occurred in this small town. We hunters seem to bear a heavy responsibility."

Originally, Welt thought that these hunters were not a big deal, just killing some monsters and collecting some bounty.

Of course, most of the outsiders who came to Yharnam were probably terminally ill, coming here seeking blood treatment.

Now that such things have happened in Yharnam, Welt also judged that it must be related to blood treatment.

But watching it inject himself in the buttocks every time he get injured, Welt also felt very subtle.

Saying this, Welt equipped the music box and used it.

Sure enough!

Even in werewolf form, Father Gascoigne, upon hearing the music from the music box, immediately fell into a dazed state!

At this time, all that was needed was to charge up, stun, and then attack!

The music box can only be used three times, but Father Gascoigne in the third stage had only one-third of his health left. He couldn't even withstand one visceral attack, let alone three.

So after dying several times, Welt finally successfully defeated Father Gascoigne.

"It seems that the little girl is destined not to find her parents. Her father has become a beast, and her mother, while searching, was accidentally killed by the father because she forgot to bring the music box... Let's go, complete the mission at the little girl's house."

Now Welt is quite familiar with the map of Yharnam, so returning to the little girl's place was a breeze.

"Hello, Mister hunter. Still can't find my mum?"

Looking at the red gemstone brooch handed over, and after 'not giving this' option, Welt fell silent.

"If I were to tell the truth to the little girl, would that seem too cruel?"

Countless answers floated in the chat; some wanted to see the fun, some were reluctant to give it away, and some wanted to protect the little girl.

Although both sides were strangers, everyone shared a common compassion for protecting the weak.

"Let's forget it. Not telling her now might be too cruel, but perhaps when she grows up in the future, she'll understand her parents' situation. But telling her now would still be too harsh."

"Oh, okay. I can wait. But isn't there something I can do? Maybe mum and dad are stuck out there……waiting for me to come and find them. What do you think, mister hunter?"

There was only one option: "Conceal Information," which made Welt feel a bit uneasy.

"It seems we've come too early. Perhaps we need to go to the next destination to continue the plot. After defeating Father Gascoigne, we obtained the graveyard key. We should be able to go to the next area."

Welt returned to the cemetery area and looked for where to use the key. After opening an iron gate and walking a short distance, he arrived at Oedon's Chapel.

Inside, smoke filled the air, and a strange old man in a red robe huddled in the corner. Welt almost thought the man was a monster, but seeing the interaction options, he decided to listen to what the man had to say.

" ...Hmm? Oh... you must be... a hunter. Very sorry, the incense has masked your scent."

"Good, good. I've been waiting for one of your ilk. These hunts have everyone all locked up inside. Waiting for it to end... It always does, always has, y'know. Since forever."

"But it won't end very nicely, not this time. Even some folks hiding inside are goin' bad. The screams of wimminfolk, the stench of blood, the snarls of beasts... none of em‘s too uncommon now. Yharnam's done fer, I tell ya."

"But if you spot anyone with their wits about ‘em... Tell ‘em about this here Oedon Chapel."

"They'll be safe here. The incense wards off the beasts. Spread the word... tell ‘em to come on over. If you wouldn't mind... Hee hee…"

The last sentence's ghostly laughter left Welt with a bad impression.

That eerie laughter, coupled with the strange figure, indeed gave off an unsettling vibe.

Yharnam was almost finished, with only a few remaining rational people. Among those Welt had encountered, there were only three rational individuals: a terminally ill outsider, a little girl, and a slightly abrasive elderly person.

"The atmosphere of the whole game is quite heavy, and amidst the mundane monster disaster, madness pervades every corner of Yharnam. A slight misstep could lead to a breakdown in sanity. Moreover, from the notes we collected earlier, it seems that something unknown is happening here."

After exploring the inside of the chapel, Welt noticed many bottles and jars, mostly filled with incense, which permeated the entire chapel.

"Oh right, medieval doctors believed that plague was caused by foul air, and incense could prevent the spread of disease. That's why plague doctors wore masks filled with spices."

Welt provided some information and also praised Haxxor Bunny for the game's background.

"It seems Miss Bunny has done her homework thoroughly, blending the historical background with Lovecraftian themes. It's really a wonderful fusion..."

Taking another look at the strange figure, Welt continued, "There's a lantern here, so we can come back anytime. That's a good thing. If any townsfolk meet with accidents, we can always come back to hold this guy accountable. But perhaps the Iosefka Clinic is also a suitable place?"

With that, Welt attempted to go to the Iosefka Clinic, as the blood vials provided by the girl could replenish more health, and she had shown goodwill from the start, being a compassionate girl. There was a slight fondness towards her.

"Oh, well, hello....Splendid. Let me ask you a small kindness. You're soon off to hunt, I presume? Then, if you find any survivors, tell them to seek Iosefka's Clinic."

"Upon my Hippocratic oath, if they are yet human, I will look after them, perhaps even cure them."

"This sickness, these beasts, they are not to be feared. This time the night is long. I might be trapped here, but I should do something to help. I'll even offer a reward for your cooperation."

With that, Welt felt something was off.

"The hunter's duty in Yharnam is to hunt monsters, while the clinic's duty is to treat patients. She claims to be from the Iosefka Clinic, which should be her own clinic from the original perspective, yet she spoke 'Iosefka's Clinic', not 'her Clinic'. This seems a bit off."

"As the saying goes, mixing truth with lies can make the lies more difficult to discern. The part about caring for them might be true, but how to care for them? That's a question worth investigating."

"And as for the so-called reward, the temptation indicates her guilt, suggesting that there might be something wrong with this Iosefka as well."

So both sides had significant issues.

It was more accurate to say that Yharnam had problems at every turn. Deaths of hunters turned into dreams pretending nothing happened, and the night always hung over Yharnam, even hunters hunting monsters could fall into madness.

Then why wouldn't others fall into madness?

Welt returned to the little girl.

"Viewers, what should I choose?"

The dilemma in front of him reminded Welt of the choice in the Elden Ring, where he had to choose between helping the Glintstone Teacher contact the truth of the Primeval Current.

On one hand, helping the teacher, and on the other hand, helping the witch hunter. While helping the teacher did fulfill her wish, it also turned her into something neither human nor ghost.

Would helping the hunter be a betrayal?

The little girl, the old lady, and an outsider.

"Let's go find the old lady first, and see how it goes at Oedon's Chapel."

With that, Welt began to control the character to head in that direction.

The livestream was quite lengthy, but viewers often easily lost track of time. After all, whether one could play this game as quickly as Welt was uncertain.

Welt's gaming skills were top-notch, perhaps due to his status as a Lawbearer?

"Sister Bronie, Bronya is very curious about which side is safer."

"In this crazy dark world, to be honest, there is no safe place."

Bronie didn't explain in detail, but Bronya also felt something was off.

"Could it be that both sides are very dangerous, and it's better to just stay at home?"

"No, even staying at home would still face the erosion of madness. This won't change. When in contact with blood, mortals are doomed to be unable to escape, the indescribable blood of the gods is not something simple for mortals to touch."

"Bronya doesn't quite understand."

"It doesn't matter if you watch the game's plot or not. It doesn't affect completion, and side quests also aren't necessary. Just some special things that might be missed."

"Sister Bronie, you're bad."

Watching Bronie explain, Bronya couldn't help but smile. Bronya immediately knew that Bronie's mischievousness was at play.

Whenever there was a regretful plot or a sad plot that made people feel uncomfortable, Bronie would always laugh. After all, that was the game Bronie created.

That expression, it was like a demon.

"I didn't expect that just after introducing the old lady to the chapel, she would appear inside the chapel. Although she was a bit sharp-tongued, from the perspective of the locals in Yharnam, it seems that this mutation of Yharnam was indeed influenced by outsiders."

Now Welt could rest assured and let the little girl come to the chapel. Although the strange clergyman in the chapel gave off a peculiar vibe, it seemed genuine that he was genuinely happy to help others.

Perhaps this was Yharnam's style. Despite facing such a bizarre character, the old lady showed no sign of fear.

But even if staying in the chapel, this old lady didn't seem very friendly.

The outsider refused to go to the chapel and believed his days were numbered, so he gave the protagonist a flamethrower. When the little girl heard that the chapel was safer, she eagerly rushed over.

But when Welt teleported back to the chapel, he fell silent.

"Why didn't the little girl come?"

Seeing that the old lady had come, logically, a local little girl shouldn't have trouble finding her way, right?

"So is there a possibility, I mean, just a possibility, that the little girl died on the way?"

A chat caught Welt's attention.

Then Welt fell silent.

"Going through the streets full of monsters is indeed a very difficult thing. Seeing that even the old lady could come to the chapel, I subconsciously assumed that the little girl could too. It seems I need to go back and check the way again. Perhaps the little girl is trapped somewhere."

Starting from the little girl's house, Welt set off towards Oedon's Chapel, looking around as he walked through the sewer.

"This is the mindset of a normal player in the eyes of a game designer. Sometimes players just can't be bothered with such things, and that's when a lot of interesting things are missed."

Bronie looked at Welt, who was willing to go back to Yharnam for a little girl, and she couldn't be happier. Initially, Bronie was worried that Welt would just ignore the little girl's storyline!

"So... is the little girl okay?"

"You'll find out soon enough!"

Bronya suddenly had a very bad feeling.

To pass through the sewer, they had to face the enormous, fat pig in the sewer.

Welt proceeded in silence, and after defeating the pig, he was tense when he suddenly found a white spot.

A blood vial, good, not a big problem.

And then?

A white ribbon stained with blood, described as the color of the victim's intestines, perhaps a form of mourning for the messenger.

Suddenly, Welt felt bad.

"...Bunny, Bunny, how could you... the little girl being eaten by monsters, this is also the meaning of hunters hunting monsters. To prevent more innocent people from suffering, our best course of action is to hunt down all the monsters."

The darkness of the story didn't defeat Welt, but through this story, he understood the significance of being a hunter in Yharnam.

After delving into the entire Yharnam and piecing together his own understanding of Yharnam through various items and their descriptions, Welt gradually felt the sense of duty of being a hunter.

This was different from the sense of duty of becoming the Elden Lord in Elden Ring.

"Tragedy often presents beautiful things to others, then tears them apart and presents them to others again. Ignorance, greed, and demands on unknown deities often lead to many tragedies. The former Schicksal once wanted to use the power of Honkai to achieve immortality, but it also gave birth to historical Black Death."

Such a plot once again deeply shocked Bronya.

In a way, Bronya silently closed the livestream and then looked at Bronie.

"Sister Bronie, if the little girl goes to the clinic, will she survive?"

The audience thought the same way, but seeing Bronie's brighter smile upon hearing the question, Bronya felt uneasy.

"She will live, of course, but it's just being alive in a sense. You have to know that sometimes, living is even more painful than dying. If you want to know what it is, you can try it yourself."

"Okay... okay, Bronya will try, but she'll try in New Game Plus or New Game Plus Plus."

...

Welt's livestream ended when he picked up the little girl's ribbon.

But Mr. Otto's gaming session lasted much longer.

Immortality, the power of Soulium, this is the power of Schicksal's Archbishop!

With these elements combined, Mr. Otto could enjoy himself to the fullest in his Archbishop's office!

Even though Welt had closed his livestream, Otto was still exploring Yharnam.

There were also many players online who, in order to play Bloodborne as soon as possible, adjusted their time zones like Welt and unlocked the game early.

So during the gameplay, there were still plenty of interactions to be seen.

Or the miserable deaths of other players.

Overall, it still had a familiar taste, but the game had become a bit harder, and some things seemed a bit more complicated.

"Speaking of which, Void Archives, my old friend, have you noticed the subtle attitude of Bunny towards religious organizations in this game? It seems a bit subtle, doesn't it?"

"Ignorant, backward, hypocritical. Do you want me to use more aggressive words?"

"Objective, incisive, reasonable. The former Schicksal was also like this. When I saw those bird-masked men, I thought of past things."

"Hehe."

Talking about life with an AI makes Void Archives want to laugh.

"This time, there are some elements with a slightly eerie style in it, and the horror brought by logical destruction is really a novel attempt. In fact, in Elden Ring, Bunny seems to have tried to add these elements before?"

Otto was having a great time. Although he often saw his hunter being sent back to the dream by the enthusiastic and hospitable townsfolk of Yharnam, the satisfying sense of accomplishment when he killed them was still great.

While exploring the whole of Yharnam and piecing together fragments of the town's background story from the descriptions of various items, these things all became Otto's motivation to continue playing.

"My Lord Archbishop."

"Amber, what other tasks do you have?"

Putting down the controller, Amber had given up trying to make Otto stop playing games seriously. As long as it didn't affect his work too much, Miss Amber basically didn't bother Otto anymore.

Otto was very satisfied with this, and through the tug-of-war between the two, they finally reached a certain consensus.

"There are anomalies in Siberia where Honkai is gathering. After satellite observation, a Templar Honkai Beast has been born."

This time, Otto closed the game with a bored expression and directly got up to grab himself a coat.

"When there is one cockroach in the house, there must be a nest of cockroaches. Let's deal with this Honkai according to the normal process of confronting Honkai by Schicksal. This time, I'll be in charge of handling this Honkai. I wonder if K423 has awakened Sirin's consciousness..."

Watching as various pieces of information appeared on the screen like flowing water, Otto continuously evaluated this Honkai.

Actually, with the information provided by Bunny about the Aeons and the organizations formed by the Aeons and its followers, Otto could see only the tip of the iceberg of the technology they controlled.

Especially the Garden of Recollection under the Aeon Fuli, just knowing of its existence and relying on the dissemination of information, they could continue to travel through the boundless universe in the form of memes, unhindered by anything.

It seemed very restrictive, but it also indirectly proved the possibility of the existence of the soul to a certain extent!

Light Dust was such a thing.

Extracted from the imaginary energy of the imaginary space, the information left by the world within the imaginary tree.

And by using this information and projecting it briefly into the real world, It was basically achieving the possibility of manifesting that power through time and space.

Wasn't this the hope of perfectly resurrecting Kallen that he had in mind!

Extracting the information of the self beyond time and space from the imaginary tree and then resurrecting the soul composed of that information, that Kallen might be the most real, and perhaps the most impossible to be false Kallen in the universe that he could think of.

So with this idea in mind, k423 became less important to him.

No, maybe Honkai wasn't even important. What even was a Honkai God?

That wasn't important either.

Kallen! His Kallen!

Before welcoming Kallen back, Otto naturally planned to tidy up this world properly. After Honkai no longer invaded this world, would Kallen feel relieved when she returned?

No, that wasn't important either. What was important was Kallen's return.

Perhaps Miss Haxxor Bunny, the traveler of the Sea of Quanta, couldn't even imagine how valuable the information she provided was.

To exchange such a small amount of technology, it was simply an explosion of profit!

If the method to manipulate the imaginary tree to resurrect Kallen is really completely explored, he must properly repay Miss Bunny.

So inexplicably, Otto's friendliness towards Haxxor skyrocketed in his heart.

Mainly because there was hope for resurrecting Kallen.

But before that, he had to create a world without Honkai for Kallen!

"Let me take a good look. K423, what are you planning to do in Siberia..."

Chapter 89: Awakening of the Second Herrscher

Actually, Kiana also wanted to play Bronie's new game, Bloodborne. But looking at its dark style and the familiar painful gameplay, Kiana, who had few memories in her short life, suddenly recalled a very bad memory that had occupied her life up to now:

Elden Ring!

Children might react quickly, but when playing soul-type games, many things are not easily understood by them, so the positive feedback experienced while playing games is few and far between for them.

Thrilling visceral attacks? Exciting and thrilling encounters with enemies?

Sorry, Kiana didn't really understand these, so she usually just played Mario or Kirby to pass the time.

Of course, if she really wanted to explore the game's storyline, Kiana could always watch Welt's livestream. His analysis was always top-notch.

Or she could play with Siegfried and watch him suffer while she stood by.

Welt didn't save the little girl, how could Siegfried endure this?

Since the path to the small church was impassable, why not go to the clinic instead? After having this thought, Siegfried finally heard the information he wanted at the Iosefka Clinic.

The little girl successfully reached the clinic without encountering any danger along the way, but it was strange that Dr. Iosefka refused to open the door no matter what. Although Kiana wanted to see what would happen next in the story, the increasing frequency of Honkai events in the outside world meant that Siegfried's return home was getting later and later every day.

If it weren't for Elysia teaching her how to cook via the internet and Miss Cioara's presence, Kiana would probably be living only one meal per day.

To be honest, with life like this, Kiana had no complaints at all. After all, Siegfried was the great hero who saved everyone from Honkai Beasts. Every time he went out, he went to hunt Honkai Beasts, just like the hunters in Bloodborne.

Kiana actually wanted to help, but every time she suggested it, Siegfried just smiled, patted her head, and said she was still too young and not suitable for battle. There was nothing she could do but wait at home quietly.

Kiana was also very curious about the continuation of the story, so she decided to visit the Iosefka Clinic to see how the little girl was doing.

She opened the game, familiarizing herself with the controls, and then practiced gun parrying with Brick Brother again.

To be honest, when Kiana saw the gun parrying option, she thought it was quite cool.

Could this be applied in Kaslana's gun combat skills? When Kiana asked this question, Siegfried briefly pondered and explained the principle of gun parrying.

During combat, both parties are in a state of tension, like a spring being stretched and released continuously. When about to strike, the tension reaches its limit, and a unexpected attack at this moment causes the opponent's tension to break, resulting in a stun effect similar to gun reversal.

Would Honkai Beasts fall for such a sneak attack?

No, Siegfried even said that Honkai Beasts don't feel pain, so no matter what kind of attack is used, they won't give up attacking ordinary people.

Therefore, in actual combat, perhaps only when facing Herrschers or intelligent individuals would there be a chance to use this move.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, so it's definitely more difficult to seize this opportunity accurately than in the game.

Originally, when watching videos, Kiana didn't feel how difficult it was, but when she actually tried it, the cumbersome feeling, the need to constantly focus on the stamina bar, and the relentless attacks of the monsters made it challenging.

After half an hour, Kiana put down the controller again and stopped playing.

"Forget it, I'll just watch videos instead..."

Mainly, she wanted to know what kind of story Bloodborne told.

The game had been released for several days, and with the base of Elden Ring, broadcasters were eager to release strategy videos as soon as possible.

Kiana originally intended to accompany Siegfried to watch the entire story of Bloodborne Curse together.

But now, it seemed that Siegfried wouldn't be able to come back to play games with her for a while.

What should she do? Of course, she would look for strategy videos online!

The broadcasting industry was developing rapidly, and naturally, the video industry was also thriving.

Many game enthusiasts participated, and starting from Elden Ring, even scholars couldn't find anything to dig, so they naturally dived into Bloodborne.

As for Elysia and Eden, they seemed to be playing that game too.

However, every time they met, Elysia would complain that Bronie didn't contact her much.

She said she would get revenge next time they met. Kiana didn't really understand.

She closed the game, opened a video, and found a lot of discussions online, all about how to save the little girl.

How to save her?

Why? Could it be that the Iosefka Clinic was also very dangerous?

Kiana suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly clicked on a video to find out the continuation of the plot.

Then, a simple and easy-to-understand single branch video appeared in front of Kiana.

After passing through a forest map, you could enter the Iosefka Clinic from the back door.

Inside the Iosefka Clinic, there were some sluggish Big Headed monsters roaming around.

After defeating them, they would drop some special items. Some were sedatives, and some were special cocktails

 Under the barrage of explanations, Kiana finally understood why the Iosefka Clinic couldn't bring redemption to the little girl.

It was because at some point, Iosefka seemed to have been transformed into those monsters as well.

The fake Iosefka pretended to shelter survivors but turned all the residents who came to take refuge into monsters!

This left Kiana at a loss.

Who knew why such a plot would happen?

Were there no good people left in Yanan Town?

Watching this terrible plot, Kiana closed her computer with frustration and didn't want to touch the game for a while. She looked up at the time.

Her stomach was rumbling, but Siegfried still hadn't come back.

Could something have happened to him? Kiana went to her bed and took out the gun Siegfried said he would use for self-defense.

Looking at the gun, she could vaguely see the inscription on it.

"May the moonlight protect you, Kiana. Love from Siegfried, Cecilia, and Theresa."

Through the process of learning to read later on, Kiana learned about this thing.

She knew Siegfried, but she didn't recognize the other names at all.

Every time Kiana took out this gun, although Siegfried's expression wasn't very obvious, she could still see sadness in it.

So she held back the question that was on the tip of her tongue.

At this point, she couldn't care about so much anymore!

Did something happen to Siegfried outside?

Kiana believed that she had already mastered gun combat skills, and as for Honkai Beasts and the like outside, she could probably deal with them very easily.

So she took the small gun, her only reliance against Honkai Beasts, and left the house she had stayed in for several years.

Outside, snow was falling heavily. Compared to other places, Siberia's winter was particularly long.

Maybe the temperature had warmed up slightly, but for the towns nearby, winter was only halfway over.

As for how to find Siegfried outside?

This brings up Kiana's phone problem. Kiana didn't know where Siegfried got a phone from, but it had the ability to locate each other.

And if Honkai broke out nearby, the phone would alert and accurately locate where the Honkai occurred.

With this thing, Kiana could find Siegfried's location at any time.

But seeing that Siegfried had been staying in one place without moving, Kiana became worried.

With small steps, Kiana set off.

The gun in her hand was her only reliance against Honkai Beasts. Leaving the town, she left a long trail on the snow-covered road.

In the distance, Cioara put down her binoculars and asked Bronie beside her, "Why did this child leave home without a word?

With Honkai happening so frequently recently, if it weren't for Siegfried, I'm afraid this town would have been destroyed long ago.

"Why did she go out! Hasn't Siegfried explained the seriousness of the situation to her?"

"That guy Siegfried probably completely forgot. He wants to bear everything on his own and not let Kiana worry, so he never said anything. I've already checked the situation near the town, and there are no traces of artificially releasing Honkai energy. This time, it's probably difficult to avoid a Honkai Outbreak from happening."

The World Serpent also has its own system for detecting Honkai, and when there are frequent outbreaks of Honkai energy nearby, warnings will come, prompting Bronie through the informant Ash Serpent.

Bronie immediately put down her work and handed over the care of the children in the orphanage to Aunt Alona in the orphanage before rushing over here.

"What should we do? If Kiana walks all the way there, who knows if she will encounter Honkai Beasts? Should we still hide ourselves?"

"Do you see any intention of hiding in my actions? There have been large-scale Valkyrie movements in Schicksal recently, and it is said that a Valkyrie suicide squad has also arrived."

"Ah? Does Schicksal still have such a thing?"

"To put it nicely, they're the Valkyrie Assault Team, with a good reputation, but all the Valkyries inside gained their combat power through heavy brute force. It's difficult even for them to face an Emperor-level Honkai Beast; they're just a pure cannon fodder team."

"But... their reputation is good because they dare to charge recklessly?"

"Yes, they've all come nearby, so Schicksal must have noticed."

Upon hearing this news, Cioara suddenly felt very weary.

The situation became more complicated.

And Bronie seemed to have her own plans.

"You better give me a clear answer, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Deal with the hidden dangers of the Herrscher core inside Kiana's body."

"How do you plan to do that?"

"Knock her out, scold her, or wait until I can project Fenghuang Down, then directly deliver a mental blow."

"When? Your plan seems completely unplanned!"

"The plan is to delay, try not to let Sirin reappear, prevent unnecessary harm to human civilization, and wait for Kiana to grow up enough to suppress Sirin. Then, I'll take her to the Elysian Realm to see the world, or maybe even get Elysia out?"

It remains to be seen how Kevin, who's been soaking in the sea, will react when he comes out and sees the empty Elysian Realm, crying and throwing a tantrum, rolling around in anger.

"So, is this your entire plan? What makes you think you can defeat a Herrscher? Especially the Herrscher of the Void."

Cioara was still clear in her mind about the combat power of a Herrscher.

It's absolutely impossible for a single individual to defeat one.

"Just because I'm taller than Kiana now, she doesn't know much, and the gap between Honkai and the data for the Second Honkai is too far apart. In short, don't worry, when has Haxxor Bunny ever messed up?"

Having not seen Haxxor Bunny in action much, Cioara wasn't too confident in Bronie's true strength.

But she vaguely heard some rumors from Eden in the Elysian Realm, like sneaking in to fight Kalpas, or monsters within the Elysian Realm whose data didn't exist in her memories.

It was said they were quite powerful.

Following Kiana's figure from a distance, Cioara traversed through the forest and snow, the vast white landscape turning Kiana's hair into a natural camouflage.

If one were to be distracted, they might lose sight of Kiana altogether.

Watching Kiana's cheerful steps, Cioara knew that Kiana probably hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet.

She had wanted to stop Kiana, but was stopped by Bronie.

After all, this journey of Kiana's was destined not to be ordinary.

Bronie projected a screen, constantly monitoring the intelligence infiltrated from Schicksal. There were no signs of significant Honkai Beast activity along the way, but the concentration of Honkai energy was indeed increasing.

And Kiana seemed to be heading towards areas with denser Honkai energy.

It was like a stick of incense plunging into oxygen, making Cioara feel a little uneasy.

"There's a Templar Honkai Beast! Kiana is in danger!"

Cioara's eyes were sharp, immediately sensing the movement of the Honkai Beast.

She wanted to intervene, but Bronie still held onto the hem of her dress.

"Patience. If there's a problem, I'll step in first. Kiana won't be in danger."

"But..."

"This is part of the plan."

Cioara felt somewhat discouraged.

"I hope everything is really within your control!"

Kiana also sensed the presence of the Templar Honkai Beast.

As she raised her gun, the Templar Honkai Beast also sensed her presence!

The two stared at each other, the Templar Honkai Beast holding its shield, slowly approaching Kiana with a spear in hand.

In her panic, Kiana attempted to attack with her handgun, but the bullets hit the thick shield, seemingly having little effect!

Kiana started to panic.

Are all Honkai Beasts this terrifying...

The Templar Honkai Beast approached even closer, raising the spear in its hand, the tip of which was condensed with Honkai energy, aiming to completely obliterate the girl before it!

Just as the situation reached a critical point, Siegfried rushed over to Kiana!

With the strength from the ICHOR, he rushed like lightning, holding the rushing tip of the Templar spear with his arm.

Gash

"Dad!!!"

A portion of the tip pierced Siegfried's hand.

Siegfried must admit, he was careless.

When he sensed Kiana coming towards him with a phone in her hand, he felt something was amiss.

He had planned to rest and deal with the Templar Honkai Beast slowly after resting, so he intentionally didn't use the Honkai energy hidden within him, hence he was slightly slower.

But he didn't expect to inadvertently lure Kiana out!

"Stay away from me, daughter, get back!"

Because he couldn't let Kiana get hurt at all, Siegfried still used that power.

His arm, strengthened with monstrous strength, firmly grasped the Templar Honkai Beast's weapon, but the blood dripping from the piercing wound made Kiana's heart sink with guilt.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... Dad..."

As Kiana cried, her eyed slowly turned from blue to dull gold.

".....And then, hypocritical humans, your doomsday has arrived!"

The Second Herrscher, awakens once more!

Chapter 90: The Fluffy Tuna Cat's Fur Standing on End

Chaos erupted!

Alarms echoed throughout the Schicksal Headquarters, and countless Valkyries of Schicksal were fully prepared for the upcoming battle.

The aerial warships had already begun to depart, and Theresa also heard the news, asked Otto about the situation, afraid that another major Honkai was happening.

Otto's reply was that it was just a minor Honkai outbreak, a common occurrence in Siberia.

Well, a minor Honkai outbreak was like rain; whether it happened depended entirely on the mood of the heavens.

So after hearing Otto's perfunctory response, Theresa retreated back into the St. Freya Academy to focus on developing her school.

After so many years, the first batch of Valkyries was about to graduate, and Miss Theresa just hoped that the Valkyries coming out of her school could slightly change the atmosphere within Schicksal.

At least to be a bit more normal than the ones in HQ.

However, although according to the intensity classification of the Honkai, it was indeed a minor one, the sudden increase in Honkai energy density afterward, like a nuclear bomb detonating, immediately caught Otto's attention.

"Bishop, fluctuations of the Herrscher have been observed, and they are extremely similar to the Second Herrscher!"

"Hehehe, good. Order the Assault Team to hold their positions for now, send reinforcements, and continue to observe the actions of the Second Herrscher."

"Just observation?"

Amber knew that the Second Honkai had caused immense damage to human civilization, to Schicksal, and even to Anti Entropy.

And now, with the Second Herrscher resurrected again, all of this was within Otto's plan.

However, Amber wanted to know Otto's attitude toward the Second Herrscher.

"Even if she's revived, without sufficient Honkai energy, the combat power of the Second Herrscher remains limited, so there's no need to worry. If she still holds resentment towards humanity... hehehe, then my experiment has truly succeeded."

Indeed, souls could exist, and within the imaginary energy of the Imaginary Tree, there was indeed such a possibility.

Although Haxxor Bunny provided a lot of information, these things needed to be verified slowly.

And now, the plan for the revival of the Second Herrscher would definitely undergo some minor changes, and maybe in the future, another Herrscher fighting for humanity would emerge.

Amber didn't ask any further. If she kept asking, Otto might suddenly become unhappy and use Fenghuang Down to erase her memory.

There was no way around it; she was just a pitiful, weak clone. What Bishop Otto needed was loyalty. Revealing too much of her own opinions and views could upset Otto.

Actually, being alive was already quite good.

...

Bandages always wrapped around Kiana's head.

Not because Kiana's brain couldn't heal, or because she had some untreatable injury.

It was to cover her other eye.

White hair, blue eyes, these were the characteristics of the Kaslana family.

But the other golden eye, identical to the former Sirin's, Siegfried's reminder of the terrible past like a nightmare every time he saw Kiana.

And today was no exception.

Siegfried, as usual, went out to deal with Honkai Beasts.

Who knew why a Emperor-level Honkai Beast suddenly appeared, along with a Templar-level Honkai Beast?

The Emperor-level Honkai Beast was difficult to deal with even using Judgement of Shamash, and the remaining Honkai Beast was originally planned to be dealt with after a rest.

Otherwise, Kiana would worry if she saw Siegfried coming back all injured.

But what happened?

They came back a bit late, and Kiana, worried, came looking for him, only to encounter a Templar-level Honkai Beast!

That was a Honkai Beast that even an entire team of Valkyries would struggle with, and how could a child possibly deal with it?

In a critical moment, Siegfried used the forbidden power hidden within him for Kiana's sake.

Everything was worth it for his child.

But his terrifying appearance, his injuries, stimulated Kiana's unstable factor within her, which finally erupted!

"Oh no!"

As Honkai energy erupted, his ICHOR within him began to devour the Honkai energy around him and he began to transform into the appearance of a Honkai Beast.

Siegfried crawled away from Kiana, and by now, Kiana's once azure eyes had turned golden.

"I just got back, why do I see you in such a sorry state, Siegfried?"

"Bronie? Be careful, it's very dangerous here! Get away!"

Instinctively, Siegfried told Bronie to leave, but the empty head of the Kaslana family hadn't figured out why she happened to come here at this time.

But a blue drone suddenly appeared in front of Siegfried.

The drone extended its mechanical claw and firmly grasped Siegfried's shoulder, then promptly carried Siegfried away from Kiana's side.

"Wait, Kiana is still there!"

"You're suicidal! It's so dangerous there. If you get close, you'll be dead!"

By now, the Herrscher of the Void had slowly risen, the bandages on her head falling off, revealing her golden pupils, like a queen descending.

But this queen looked a bit too young.

The Subspace Lance gradually took shape, floating beside HoV, who also flew up, looking at Siegfried with eyes full of hatred, as if he were her mortal enemy.

"Who are you? What's your intention in approaching us!?"

Siegfried finally realized.

This Bronie, she definitely wasn't just an ordinary citizen. Meeting him was premeditated.

"Is it the time to say these things now, Herrscher of the Void! Isn't it tiring to fly so high? It's windy up there!"

Bronie called out to Herrscher of the Void, who also turned her gaze to Bronie.

With her hands outstretched, indicating that she had no weapons.

"Do you still remember me?"

"Deceiver..."

"What?"

"Hypocritical humans! Using lies to get close to me!"

"Come on, what benefit would I gain from deceiving you? You..."

Unexpectedly, The Herrscher didn't say another word and directly stabbed with the Subspace Lance. Bronie quickly dodged, and when she looked at Herrscher of the Void again, there seemed to be only killing intent in her eyes.

"All humans should die!"

"Is this your plan, Bronie, to witness the birth of the Herrscher?"

Cioara couldn't help but comment. No matter how she looked at the Herrscher before her, she didn't seem like someone who could communicate properly. Her hostility towards humans was too high.

This was the Second Herrscher, the same one who had almost turned the entire Siberia into a wasteland, wasn't it?

"Let's not rush. Why do you think all humans should die? You'd better tell me."

Bronie's response was silence and an attack. The drones formed a shield, blocking the Subspace Lance. This surprised Herrscher of the Void for a moment.

"Hey, essentially, you're still a willful child, aren't you? Do you still have morning grumpiness after waking up? But it's okay, I'll play with you properly. But if you vent your anger recklessly, you won't look pretty~!"

The Subspace Lance, which was originally unstoppable, was unexpectedly blocked by this drone.

Now the Herrscher of the Void had to take it seriously.

Anyone who obstructed her from eliminating humanity was an enemy!

Herrscher of the Void raised her hand and snapped her fingers lightly.

At the same time, Bronie, as if in sync, snapped her fingers.

Immediately next to Bronie, a motorcycle appeared from parts to its shell.

"Is this... Welt?"

Seeing this operation, Siegfried was extremely familiar with it. Wasn't this Welt's masterpiece?

Welt was also involved?

So Bronie was affiliated with Anti Entropy?

Watching Bronie gracefully ride the motorcycle, surrounded by countless drones, starting to attack Herrscher of the Void.

Siegfried's first reaction was actually not wanting Kiana to get hurt.

But his keen dynamic vision allowed Siegfried to see that what the drones were shooting out were actually syringes.

Well, that's alright then.

Is this tranquilizer really capable of controlling Herrscher of the Void?

Herrscher of the Void could skillfully use spatial powers to create an imaginary barrier that isolated external space. Even anesthesia bullets might not be able to penetrate this imaginary barrier, let alone current powerful weapons of Schicksal.

Of course, elite Valkyries might have a way.

But Bronie's counterattack was all about creating an atmosphere.

After all, a battle needed to have both offense and defense to be more interesting.

And after the counterattack, Herrscher of the Void's attention was indeed focused on Bronie, not on Siegfried.

But Siegfried was anxious.

Do you know who the opponent is?

That's a Herrscher, a special individual created by the Honkai, each of whom may have the power to destroy entire civilizations.

If she isn't dealt with as soon as possible...

Just as Siegfried was about to use the Judgement of Shamash in his hand to launch a combination attack and then unleash a powerful assault, he was stopped by Cioara.

"Although I know you're anxious, do you want to kill your daughter and Bronie?"

Cioara knew about the Judgement of Shamash.

In the Elysian Realm, Kevin wielded this greatsword, and every attack was a ranged attack, which really wore her out.

Fortunately, Kevin wasn't fighting seriously, otherwise, who knows how long she could hold on.

"So... let's just watch for now. I feel that Bronie probably has her own ideas, and she doesn't seem hostile toward that Herrscher?"

Siegfried also fell silent for a long time.

On one hand, there was Kiana, who had accompanied him for several years, and whom he sincerely regarded as his daughter.

On the other hand, there was the Second Herrscher, Sirin, who could potentially endanger human civilization at any time. He was familiar with those eyes, which looked down on everything like ants, filled with endless fury beneath the calm expression. That was the Herrscher Sirin, driven mad by destiny's experiments, forever harboring hatred towards humanity!

Bronie's motorcycle sped quickly, leaving a long trail on the snow-covered road. Herrscher of the Void followed that trail, gradually disappearing into the snowy wilderness. Only a slight stinging sensation on her skin told Siegfried that the concentration of Honkai energy around them had become too high for human habitation.

Was the battle intense? No, Herrscher of the Void had just awakened, and the Honkai energy she had gained wasn't too much. Furthermore, the more she fought, the more physical strength and Honkai energy she consumed, maEmperor her more vulnerable afterward.

Bronie's attacks seemed harmless, but could Herrscher of the Void really bet that they wouldn't hurt her?

She dared not.

So every time she constructed an imaginary barrier, she did so with great seriousness. The drones floating around constantly launched surprise attacks from blind spots in her field of vision. Bronie's fighting style was despicable to the point that the Herrscher was getting impatient.

"You, do you only know how to run away?"

"Oh? Finally not shy anymore? After all, if I get hit, my life will be over. There are so many interesting things and beautiful things in the world. It's worth seeing them all, isn't it?"

It turns out that feeling wasn't a misconception. Bronie controlled her speed to create an illusion that each of her attacks could hit, aiming to communicate with Herrscher of the Void.

"Human, sweet words have no effect on me. For you, the only beauty is dying less painfully. Give up struggling!"

"You're not cute at all. Although your dignity is somewhat adorable, I still prefer your carefree appearance."

"Haha! That's just the ignorance of being deceived and blinded. I will destroy everything, leaving nothing behind!"

Then Herrscher of the Void's gaze was drawn to something else. It wasn't the hidden drones, nor the rubber bullets fired by the drones, nor even syringes. It was the Valkyrie's fighter jet.

"Hehe, you self-proclaimed righteous ants. How about this? I can't catch you, but can they? Take off your hypocritical mask. Every time I see your smiling face, I feel like vomiting!"

"If you say that to me, I'll get a little temper too! It's okay to vent a little. I can understand the desire for revenge, but if you vent your anger on innocent people, how are you any different from the perpetrators of those Babylon Labs?"

With a turn of the motorcycle's head, this time Bronie aimed for Herrscher of the Void in the sky.

"Stop sweet-talking me, humans like you are not good people!"

Seeing Bronie turn the motorcycle's head, it was certain that her threat was effective! Herrscher of the Void wanted to see how long Bronie could keep up the act. With a smiling face, completely disregarding her, she even thought it was a joke!

Was this a joke? Of course not!

The Subspace Lance, like a royal treasure, condensed beside Herrscher of the Void, aiming at the Valkyrie's fighter jet with the insignia of Schicksal, about to launch an attack.

But just as Herrscher of the Void's attack was about to arrive, the fighter jet made an emergency evasive maneuver, and another attack accurately intercepted the Subspace Lance, perfectly blocking Herrscher of the Void's attack!

There was no way around it; Herrscher of the Void currently only had one Herscher Core, and she had just awakened.

It was so unlike in the Final Lesson where she got the necessary Honkai Energy and Double Gems of Conquest and Serenity.

The limit of her strength was there.

But was the Subspace Lance so easily intercepted?

If it were so easy to intercept, Schicksal wouldn't have suffered a loss in Sirin's hands.

So Herrscher of the Void was very surprised. No, there was also a bit of fear.

"What an unlovable child you are. You've just been reborn, just made a wish to have a warm home. Why ruin it all with your own hands? Disobedient children need to be spanked, so I'm going to spank you now."

Something was wrong, very wrong. At this moment, Herrscher of the Void was like a fluffy little cat, looking alertly at Bronie.

Watching the motorcycle gradually approaching, Herrscher of the Void hurriedly activated all the power within her body.

"Don't come near me, you ant!"

The last word, ant, was her last stubbornness to maintain her queenly demeanor. But in reality, she was already panicking.

Unfortunately, in the brief contact just now, Herrscher of the Void realized something very bad.

That is, her strength might really be no match for Bronie's!
