Chapter 121: Duck Duck Goes to School

The gun was entrusted to Mr. Su and sent to the Elysian Realm.

The arrival of the Aeon, to some extent, also disrupted Otto's plans for the Elysian Realm.

It can only be said that Bronie was indeed capable, huh?

She effortlessly attracted the attention of an Aeon, but Elysia also remarked that Bronie deserved the praise because attracting the Aeon was truly her skill.

In front of Bronie, praising her so much made Bronie feel a bit embarrassed.

Actually, Bronie felt that the gun given by Aha was an extremely rare treasure, and it must have some unknown function.

But it's best to give this thing to scientists for research first, and it's best not to conduct destructive experiments, because doing so might be a little disrespectful to the Aeon.

After sending the gun away, Cioara bid farewell to Bronie directly.

There was no way. When Raven saw Mr. Su disguised as a delivery man, Raven had a look of disbelief on her face. She muttered that this orphanage was probably discovered, and ran to the World Serpent's interior to observe what tricks Jackal wanted to play recently.

As for the World Serpent, since Jackal ran around like a frightened bird all over the world, research on Project Stigma was completely shelved.

Although Jackal felt that with her ability, as long as there were enough resources, the essence of Project Stigma could be easily studied.

When she started to collect experimental materials, she would find a Zombie's head on her bedside?

The first time was the head, then the hand, what would be next time?

When the whole Zombie was put together, would she be bitten by the Zombie in her sleep?

Jackal felt very depressed and couldn't figure out which god she had offended. If it weren't for the urgent reminder from the Gray Serpent, she wouldn't have given up on researching the improvement of the Stigmata.

What to do now?

Isn't it just researching how to ensure that after Project Stigma is launched, she won't be included in the dream?

And Cioara could be a great help, so Jackal continued to run around the world recklessly!

Cioara left, and Bronie naturally stayed in the orphanage, living an ordinary life day by day.

Evil Within production had begun, and the fighting game itself was too niche. Although there were more players compared to other fighting games, overall, there were really not many players.

Compared to Apex and other online games, it is indeed shocking that there are fewer players playing that game.

So, new statements appeared on the internet again.

Haxxor Bunny falls from grace again.

"To be honest, I'm already used to it. Falling from grace, then being idolized again falls on my ass. Do they have no new ideas every day on the internet?"

"Bronya might consider learning some hacking skills, so that she can shut them up forever."

"Forget it, it's just a group of mediocre people. If things don't go well in real life, it's easier to spread their grievances on the internet. To be honest, I haven't made a masterpiece for a while, and it's time to practice again."

Saying that, Bronie projected a huge piano, which was still a little distance from the ground, so it fell abruptly under the force of gravity, making a loud noise.

"Um... Sister Bronie? What does the piano have to do with the game?"

"Of course, it's the background music. You know, the protagonist has a safe house in other people's consciousness. After experiencing various terrifying scenes, shouldn't there be something to relax the player' mood?"

Fingers lightly touched the keys, and pleasant notes burst forth.

It was time to test the instrument skills she learned from Miss Eden.

"Moonlight Sonata by Debussy, I think it's the most suitable background music. Classical music has long passed the copyright issue, and classic music always needs someone to remember it. Games are also a very good carrier."

"Classical... music? Sister Bronie, is there anything you don't know?"

"Just dabbling, just dabbling, don't worry about me."

With that, Bronie raised a finger and put it on Bronya's lips.

"Listen carefully."

Fingertips began to stroke the keys, and the music slowly came forth.

Bronya silently took out her phone and started recording.

Next to the piano, there were even more top-notch recording equipment. In the future safe house in Evil Within, this music would be needed.

The music was not long, only four minutes in total. If it were to be used in the game, some modifications would be needed to make it a short loop, so that players would not feel out of place.

"Amazing~ Sister Bronie, how long did it take you to learn to play the piano?"

"It took several years, right? Let me think, after leaving the Taixu Sect, I lived for about six or seven years. The technical skills for coding were learned during that time. Later, in order to earn more money, I learned some music theory from my sister, wrote songs for idols to make money, and then it was Miss Eden. The teaching she gave me was actually the most complete. The rest of the time, I just groped around casually."

"Groped around and came up with the soundtrack for Spiritfarer, and Undertale soundtrack?"

Bronya felt that her sister was indeed going farther and farther away from the path of normality.

The more she learned, the more she could feel Bronie's talent, and recently she always saw her sister looking at some strange books, all of which she couldn't understand.

From biology to physics, and then to biochemistry.

Everything was there.

Watching Bronie flipping through books as casually as a breeze, Bronya couldn't help but wonder if Bronie was really just flipping through them randomly, or if she had some kind of ability to completely memorize the knowledge in books with just a glance.

However, merely remembering and understanding were two different things. If one only remembered things, how could they possibly apply them?

"Ahem, it's all about experience. After all, I'm a bit older than you in any case, and I've experienced more things than you. You know, with so many worlds in the Sea of Quanta, there are bound to be many things that can be used as references."

"So this time's Evil Withins is actually a reference to some world?"

"It's the Elysian Realm."

Bronie's answer directly shocked Bronya.

Although she had a premonition, it seemed like there was indeed a sense of dejavu, but she didn't expect Bronie to admit it so quickly!

"You know, connecting everyone's minds together can lead to some dangerous situations. The Elysian Realm is fine, after all, it's just some data. But once real brains have problems, to be honest, I can't guarantee what will happen."

People always have some stray thoughts, such as malicious thoughts or other dark emotions. These things mix together and eventually influence each other. Perhaps they could really affect others' actions.

What if a mentally ill person entered?

Bronya seemed to hear Bronie's thoughts and nodded.

"If mentally ill people are connected in, it's possible that mental illness can also spread. Indeed, such things should require data as a filter to reduce direct mutual influence between brains."

Well, it seems Bronya understands these things quite well.

As Bronya said, Mobius had also considered these things. The interaction between different brainwaves requires data and something like network protocols to connect with each other.

But the Elysian Realm was special in that it was a world jointly established by the memories and cognition of the Thirteen Flamechasers, with the influence of Aponia's Discipline inside, which allowed it to operate stably for fifty thousand years.

"Not bad. Bronya, do you want to develop in this direction? Like in the field of life? Consciousness? Or networking?"

"Actually, Bronya hopes to develop in the field of networking. Of course, Bronya has been already self-taught some content, but Bronya suddenly found a mercenary named Haxxor Bunny on a list called the Charon List, is that you?"

"Tsk, Tesla, that guy holds a grudge. I only took a little gold from her! And it wasn't even hers originally!"

Bronie instantly understood what Bronya was talking about, and Bronya felt like she heard some incredible news.

Tesla, that guy, Bronya knew about her. It was said that due to the influence of the Black Abyss White Flower, she obtained the body of immortality and has been living until now.

Executor of AE,, and also the current scientist, designer of the Titans of AE.

It's said that she has a bad temper, but Bronya didn't expect Bronie to have such a deep entanglement with her.

This is still in the mercenary world?

"So, Sister Bronie, your hacking skills must be very powerful, right?"

"I can only teach you some basics. The part about altering reality is my own ability, and it's been developed through many haphazard experiments. Sorry, but I can't teach you that move."

"So, Sus Bronie, you're like a Herrscher?"

"Um... it's quite similar to being a Herrscher."

Bronie nodded.

If the Honkai side had Herrschers, then the Quantum side might also have Herrschers.

This was Vill-V's judgment, but so far, many things had not been fully confirmed, only hypotheses based on the current information.

"Wow, it turns out Bronie is really different!"

Bronya didn't seem jealous.

Stepping away from the piano, Bronie casually dispersed it, then projected a violin.

"Yes, I am indeed special, but you need to know one thing: individuals named Bronya in the universe are also special, no matter which Bronya."

Bronie slowly pulled the strings of the violin, and the slow melody of Debussy's Clair de Lune flowed out.

This was another soundtrack for Evil Within, which Bronie was recording here.

As the music ended, Bronya asked the question on her mind.

"So, Bronie, in other worlds, have you also met other Bronyas?"

"Of course not. You are the first Bronya I've encountered, but I have observed other Bronyas in the universe. This is beyond doubt. And?"

As Bronie spoke, she flicked her long silver hair behind her, and the pale blue at the tips danced, resembling waves by the seaside.

"The futures that different Bronyas possess may not necessarily have to maintain the name Bronya, right?"

"Are you saying?"

Bronya's eyes widened, but Bronie stopped her from continuing.

"Elysia said I am a miracle of the Sea of Quanta, a treasure of the world, her lucky star. But you also have your own uniqueness. The seed needs time to sprout, and I always believe in the potential hidden within you."

So is this the reason why she was picked up all those years ago?

Not just because she looked so much like her sister.

"But come to think of it, I think the efficiency of making games is still too low. I feel like I might need strong artificial intelligence that can easily build games according to my needs."

Saying this, Bronie casually tossed the violin aside, and it dissipated like fireflies in the night.

"Why pursue high efficiency? Making a game, after all, requires careful polishing."

"That's because the methods of making games are too outdated and can't keep up with my thoughts. And there's another more important thing: the Aeon."

"The Aeon... The Elation. Would he like games?"

"Of course, as long as it's interesting, he won't miss it. Even if he encounters bad things, he can find humor in them. But whether he will retaliate afterward and find somethung 'fun' in us, I don't know.

So I think offering games to the Aeon is not wrong, but you know, I have books to read, things to research, and the Honkai hasn't been resolved yet. A person's energy is always limited, so it's time to find some other methods."

Actually, The Aeon of Elation is quite easy to get along with. If you give Him fun, He'll be happy and harmless to you.

If you give Him trouble, He'll find fun in it and then turn you into fun.

"So, Bronie, can Bronya also participate in the development of strong artificial intelligence and learn a bit of hacking on the side? Bronya won't cause trouble. If Bronie needs money, um... Bronya can also provide some."

After making a fortune with her first venture, Bronya had also managed to make quite a bit of money through various means.

Now, Bronya could be considered a small rich woman.

"Don't think of me so poorly. Am I that kind of person in your eyes! Alright, alright, don't sneak into Seele's room to play tonight. Give Sirin more space to play games. Tonight, I'll come and properly guide you in hacking knowledge. These things are not to be spread around!"

"Okay! Bronya will study hard and quickly demonstrate the power of miracles!"

Chapter 122: Development of the Genesis System

As the saying goes, to excel in one's work, one must first sharpen one's tools. If one wishes to efficiently produce high-quality games, then a user-friendly AI and a reliable game engine are essential.

Bronie gradually felt that the game engine provided by Schicksal was no longer sufficient, and her AI hadn't been updated for a long time. Therefore, Bronie decided to create a new AI specifically for making games.

There was no way around it. The more complex the AI, the higher the hardware requirements. Bronie thought it would be better to completely separate the combat AI from the game-making AI. Although it might be a bit tiring at first, it would definitely be easier later on.

With Bronya's company, Bronie taught and wrote code at the same time.

The base logic code of the AI was borrowed from the code of the ELF Klein. At that time, Bronie had borrowed one from Mobius, so with a diligent AI, her goal was achieved!

However, Mobius definitely wouldn't want to see a second Klein appear in her hands, so various settings needed to be changed in the follow-up, and then deep learning would be conducted based on her own teaching materials.

"Hmm, like this, like this. Alright, Bronya, the AI teaching ends here. My hardworking rabbit is finally finished!"

Saying that, Bronie began to project a brand-new drone, a round and chubby drone that resembled a rabbit.

Most of the combat drones with varying weaponry projected by Bronie were the same in appearance, which also served to confuse enemies.

Of course, the main reason was that Bronie was too lazy to design too many different drones.

"Bronie, do you really like rabbits very much?"

"Yes, rabbits are so cute, and they're delicious too. No one doesn't like rabbits."

Didn't expect the option of delicious, did you!

This truly shocked Bronya.

Looking at this ordinary drone, Bronya reached out to touch it.

It didn't seem like a big deal.

But it also seemed very powerful.

After all, there were many aspects of the internal chip technology that Bronya couldn't understand.

Things like quantum computers were a bit beyond Bronya's current level.

"Now, shall we try out the effectiveness of this AI?"

Bronya was eager to try it out.

Bronie nodded, then snapped her fingers.

"Activate the Genesis System."

【Activating the Genesis System, loading the game engine, synchronizing brainwaves, decoding...】

"First, I want to create a miniature world, with a mental hospital as the center of the city. There's no need for pedestrians, but there should be cars. The city doesn't need to be too detailed."

【Generating...】

In just five seconds, a huge city appeared at their feet, with a bird's-eye view that made people feel so small.

And in the center of the city, there was a hospital that looked so out of place. The hospital had a Lighthouse icon, and its name was Beacon Mental Hospital.

But in some unknown corners, there was a symbol similar to a Mobius loop, as if foreshadowing something.

"Hmm... the details are done well, but there are too many distractions recorded. Remove the Mobius symbol. Even if an organization has a lot of energy, it's very unreasonable to reveal its organizational logo to the public. Next is to set the protagonist, assistant Joseph, and Juli's appearances."

Watching as Bronie could create character images and construct a city with just a wave of her hand, Bronya's eyes widened.

Although she had been following Bronie's learning process for some time now, Bronie's progress in creating AI wouldn't slow down because of Bronya's learning progress.

She hadn't gone to play with Seele for several days, thinking she could guess how useful the AI Bronie was making would be.

But she didn't expect...

"Just with this, Bronie can create games with a wave of her hand!?"

"Haha, too naive! Bronya! Now, create a sub-unit for this hardworking bunny and link it with Bronya's brainwaves."

【Creating link...】

Many thin wires sprouted from the drone, gradually wrapping around Bronya's head.

Like a hat, It gently rested on her hair.

【Link established successfully. Welcome to to the Genesis System.】

To create a world with just a thought, It truly could be called the Genesis System.

Bronya was eager to try it out, thinking about the monsters in the game settings.

"Create The Sadist model."

The Sadist, in the game, embodies everyone's subconscious perception of slaughter, combined with the mind of a murderer by the boss Ruvik, it formed the most brutal monster.

In the early stages, it serves as a psychological shadow for players, which Bronya quite liked the idea of.

After all, just imagine playing this game, with players being chased by this monster wielding a chainsaw, crying and screaming for help. Bronya couldn't help but smile.

As the model gradually generated, halfway through, Bronya noticed something was wrong.

The image of slaughter was actually relatively simple. There were many stitched areas on the obese, towering body, giving an invisible sense of oppression. Combined with the saw blade wires wrapped around, leaving traces of pain, these details could suggest and guide many psychological aspects.

But what appeared in front of Bronya now was a chunk of flesh that barely resembled a humanoid figure. Some elements were there, but more were just her own stray thoughts.

For example, some expressions of fear from players, along with a fusion of some protagonist's body parts.

In short, it was a mishmash of a creation.

"Why..."

"Because I already had a specific image in my mind. If you want to use it, you probably need to do this."

Bronie knew Bronya might accidentally create such a terrible model, so she pointed at the model as if teaching.

"Clear all elements, create a blank human body model."

A pure white figure appeared.

"Obesity, towering height, color on the skin, then stain it with bloodstains, create stitching lines, gloves, chainsaw."

Watching Bronie modify step by step, Bronya suddenly understood.

This machine indeed read her thoughts, but if she had too many random thoughts, those ideas would also be picked up by the machine and appear on the model all at once.

In other words, Bronie's method was the normal way to use the Genesis System.

However, even so, it was still more powerful than most game engines.

Because it truly could create things that matched the user's imagination!

In other words, the only limitation of the Genesis System was the user's imagination!

"In this way, it will take about a week to roughly outline the game framework, and the rest will be the details and optimization, and finally checking for bugs."

"A week? Is that true?"

Bronya felt that just creating a character model was already very laborious. Although it was indeed simpler and easier compared to making games before, it still took a lot of time in practice.

"Harbringer, Ruvik, Zehn, The Keeper, Trauma, Sentinel..."

Every time Bronie pronounced a name, a lifelike model appeared. Then, Bronie waved her hand to collect all of them into a folder, and then continued, "Create model skeleton, start recording actions."

Then the first Harbringer model began to move.

"Well, it's because of Bronya's delay..."

"In fact, this thing could be considered as a gift from me to you guys. If one day you suddenly want to create something, maybe you can use Labor Bunny to create it yourselves, brainstorm together, and maybe create something unique and interesting."

Bronie was still looking forward to it. Every time Rosalia and Lilia had a lot of fantastic ideas.

As for Nina and Isabella, they also often had cute and whimsical fantasies as girls.

Sometimes Bronie even wanted to realize their fantasies, watching their happy smiles.

But compared to making dreams come true directly, isn't it more romantic and meaningful to build your own girl's dream with your own hands?

"Bronya dares to affirm that this is the best and most interesting gift Sister Bronie has given over the years! I believe everyone will not disappoint you! And maybe Sirin sister may also participate!"

Participate in making what?

A game to destroy humanity and the earth?

But to be honest, if such a game could be made, it might really be very popular.

After all, who doesn't have grievances living in this society?

It's good to vent sometimes.

"Sirin is also a cute little sister, you know!"

Bronie reminded.

"Huh, in Bronya's eyes, Sirin is just a naughty little sister who doesn't understand anything!"

After getting familiar with her, Bronya finally saw the essence of Sirin.

Lazy, arrogant, conceited, but really strong.

There were some similarities to Kiana, amplifying most of the common shortcomings.

But fundamentally.

Still a bit cute.

"Hahaha, it seems that you get along well. Last time I saw Sirin secretly staying up late playing games again, and as a result, Kiana slept soundly in class during the day. Should I give Kiana a nickname next time?"

"Oh? Bronya is very interested."

"Let's call her Little Sleepybug!"

"I see, it's a variation of the nickname Bronya gave to Kiana, the grasshopper? Brilliant!"

Bronya nodded in agreement, but Bronie quickly said, "Forget it, Kiana is also quite pitiful. She is usually trying hard to study and find a way to find her father, and at the same time, she has to figure out how to get along with another self. It's quite tiring."

"In fact... Sirin's recent appearances have also decreased, it's just that Kiana is lazy and doesn't like to study, so she often sleeps in class."

"The number of appearances has decreased... It seems that it's time to have a good chat with Sirin again. Let's wait until the game is finished..."

Bronie nodded, Bronya, as the king of the orphanage, knew a lot of things, and she was observant, often observing their usual state from the children's perspective when she wasn't around.

This was also the reason why Bronie often stayed with Bronya.

Bronya, indeed, was a very reassuring child.

"There's one more thing."

Bronya continued to add.

"Hmm?"

"Last time when I slept with Sin, she told me she missed Mother Cocolia."

Upon hearing this, Bronie didn't pay attention to Cocolia's affairs, but rather looked at Bronya with a subtle expression.

"Don't... you usually sleep in your own room?"

"In fact... Kiana also doesn't like to sleep in her own room."

Oops!

It seems that her orphanage has become a a den of debauchery!

"Of course, when Teacher Cioara is here, everyone will go back to their own rooms to sleep..."

Okay, okay, Bronya, you don't need to explain these to me!

Bronie's expression went from shocked to helpless, then fell into contemplation, like a fox who saw something shocking hidden.

"Having a better relationship is okay, Bronya, you just need to manage it properly, like Elysia."

"Yeah, Sister Elysia's teaching is very instructive for Bronya, but in Bronya's mind, Sister Bronie will always be my most important family member!"

Exactly!

Bronie felt she should have known this long ago.

The children she taught originally had the potential to become ferocious yuri beasts, they should have exerted their strength long ago.

It's just unexpected and she didn't expect that Bronya and Kiana, would actually go to other children's rooms to sleep at night.

As for whether there would be any extreme actions?

Bronie never worried about such things.

"Okay, it's okay how you get along with each other. The next thing is about game production. Can you accept bloody scenes? Can you maintain a certain style in game scene production?"

"Bronya believes she can do it, but the efficiency may be a bit slow."

"It's okay. The AI will handle the art style issue and then unify and harmonize it."

"Really amazing... Sis Bronie..."

"Hmm, once you master those skills, you will be just as powerful. I'm just a bit special."

"Yes, Bronie is a very special sister!"

Hearing Bronie's words, Bronya deeply agreed.

From picking her up, to showing her powerful combat ability, to her genius-like learning speed in usual times.

Bronya understood very clearly how special Sis Bronie was.

Every time when discussing Bronie in front of Elysia, Elysia would be very happy to talk about the restless little hand of Bronie in the past, and the embarrassed appearance of Bronie rubbing her stockings when she was embarrassed.

And the power she possessed, can be said to be like a miracle of boiling water with ice.

Chapter 123: Mr. Otto's Disease is Getting Worse

Strictly speaking, for Bronie, Resident Evil was the seminal horror game that fueled her imagination.

Nauseating zombies, marvelous puzzles, and dark atmosphere.

But after the director of Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami, left, he went on to create an even more classic horror game—Evil Within.

To be precise, Evil Within 1, with its satisfying level design, resource management, and obscure yet terrifying storyline.

Plus, the soothing Moonlight Sonata playing in the background after a terrifying level added to the experience.

These memories of gameplay left an indelible impression on Bronie's mind.

So Bronie chose Evil Within. A Horror game classic, even the kind you'd pass down to your granddaughter when she grows up.

Under the username "Bronya Cool Wolf," Bronie uploaded a video of playing the piano, teasing the upcoming game.

Although Moonlight Sonata didn't reveal much of the game, the silver-white gradient-blue hairstyle in the visuals, reminiscent of the protagonist from a past game, sparked painful memories for many players.

Yes, that woman!

The one who once tortured players with Bloodborne and Elden Ring, making countless players suffer yet strangely enjoy it!

And a lazy dog who only responds when it's convenient!

Although the Civilization series has released two DLCs, Bloodborne's DLC remains elusive.

And then there's Elden Ring!

The stories behind both worlds are incredibly fragmented, but after organizing everything, it seems like there's still something left unsaid.

And what's the result? Suddenly, they release the Switch, bringing out fun games like Zelda, Mario, and Pokémon.

Damn annoying Dreaded Evil Bunny, thinking releasing new games will make players forget the old ones!

When will Titanfall release its next installment!?

But so far, Bronie hasn't shown any signs of making a sequel, although Apex, that thing, does vaguely connect to Titanfall.

Following suit, the official account of Haxxor Bunny published a trailer for the new game.

Set to the backdrop of Moonlight Sonata, the protagonist, Sebastian, struggles to escape a bloody mental hospital, his eyes filled with despair.

Then there are various monsters, urgent mechanisms, and sawtooth traps that will leave countless players with PTSD.

Of course, there's also the final and most representative poster. Sebastian, bound by razor wire, shouting desperately.

Compared to the previous title, Guilty Gear, the two seem completely different in style, even making many doubt if Haxxor Bunny actually made it.

Haxxor Bunny has never made any horror game, not even Bloodborne or Elden Ring, which had few horror elements beyond the traps that came fron Hell and the occasional monsters.

So when the trailer for Evil Within appeared, people suddenly realized, Did Haxxor Bunny ever made a horror game?

Its quite interesting.

But Guilty Gear was released not long ago, why release another game suddenly? Did they even finish the sequel for Guilty Gear?

[In progress, in progress!] Bronie's auto-reply remained the same as always.

It's just a shame that Haxxor Bunny has made so many games, yet the main one never gets any more sequels or news..

To be honest, some players are starting to regret why they voted for an online game back then.

Although Apex isn't bad, and there are hardly any cheats, even when they appear, they're dealt with quickly.

But how much content do they update in a year? It's like squeezing toothpaste, and Haxxor Bunny isn't even involved! Is this fair?

Although players have complaints, those who should pre-order still pre-order.

But since this is a horror game, the horror elements are sure to be off the charts, coupled with Haxxor Bunny's divine touch.

Will the horror elements scare people to death?

Some timid players are in a wait-and-see mode, but countless others have chosen to pre-order.

After all, there are guns!

A horror game? All the demons will be wiped out in a second. Even if you can't beat them, just cheat and go rat-a-tat-tat!

Although Bronie doesn't advocate cheating, in single-player games that don't affect others, Bronie won't stop players from cheating.

Three days after the trailer was released, the highly anticipated new game began its release!

...

"Horror game? Amber, Miss Haxxor Bunny suddenly stopped using the Schicksal Engine. What do you think?"

This time, the game no longer displayed the interface of the magical Schicksal Engine, which means Bronie seems to have stopped using the Schicksal game engine to make games, and even stopped using Schicksal game assets.

Of course, most of the time, Bronie doesn't like using Schicksal's asset library and prefers creating things by hand.

"Bishop, the purpose of a game engine is to improve the efficiency of game production. The reason for abandoning the game engine is naturally very clear. Miss Haxxor Bunny may think that her production methods can be more efficient. Also, Bishop, Miss BiBianka is still exploring the Sea of Quanta, even more busy than Miss Haxxor. It's not the time to play games."

"Tsk, I know, I know!"

Otto's rarely seen a hint of irritability in his heart.

There was no way, after finding the target for experiments and the hope of Kallen's resurrection, Otto didn't value the exploration of the Sea of Quanta as much as before.

Originally, exploring the Sea of Quanta was not just to explore the truth of the world and understand the mechanism of the imaginary tree and the Sea of Quanta?

What about now?

The descent of the Aeon, the contract written under the rules of the imaginary, all of these are enough to prove everything.

It's really annoying.

"Bishop, you know best. The Sea of Quanta is dangerous, and Miss Bianka and Miss Rita may need Schicksal's support at any time."

Bishop Otto's promise was still solid, so after hearing Otto's promise, Amber had almost no doubt about Otto.

So Amber also left the Schicksal Bishop's office and went to do her own work.

Watching Amber leave, Otto turned on the computer.

"Although I can't play, I can watch the live broadcast, and horror games... hehehe, I almost forgot that games could have a horror option. Let me see what kind of puzzles Miss Haxxor Bunny has hidden in this one."

Otto thought for a long time and analyzed most of the games made by Bronie.

The protagonist in Undertale descending to the underground world represents Haxxor Bunny's arrival in this world, but with good intentions.

Then there's the Spiritfarer, the game made by Haxxor Bunny after meeting the so-called Thirteen Flamechasers.

Civilization was Haxxor Bunny's deeper understanding of this world, while Elden Ring was Haxxor Bunny's contemplation of the Honkai of this world.

The Will of Honkai...

This thing was denied by the Thirteen Flamechasers, but Bronie just smiled and didn't speak, it seemed she knew the nature of that thing.

It's definitely not a Aeon.

Later, Haxxor Bunny's connection to this world deepened, and she even took over an orphanage?

So there were so many games loved by children that came out later.

Then there's Bloodborne, which mocks mortals for trying to touch the power of the gods.

Bronie seemed to be mocking Schicksal, mocking the Anti Entropy, after all, there were always people who wanted to use the ruin to satisfy their greed and pursue eternal life.

Human experiments and the like are always hard to stop.

As for Titanfall'... it means Haxxor Bunny must have teamed up with the Anti Entropy, and the servers of Apex in America are managed by a game company under the Anti Entropy.

The more he thought about it, the more Otto felt right.

It's a pity that he realized this too late. If he had realized it earlier, he wouldn't have been treated as a clown by Haxxor Bunny for so many years.

Damn it, this time there's Evil Within, so he must study what puzzles Haxxor Bunny wants to hide!

As for who to watch the live broadcast?

Otto saw an author that his granddaughter Theresa liked, who had recently been live streaming on the platform for a while.

He would livestream drawing comics for no reason at all, but most of the time he was livestreaming games, all kinds of them.

But Otto had heard that this author was a loyal fan of Haxxor Bunny's games and often rehashed old games to play again.

The most played one was Titanfall, where he piloted giant mechs.

Hehehe, this kind of author could only play fake Titans in the game, but Schicksal had the ability to make Titans and even get hands-on!

"Still the same, pre-order the game and download it a day early, then adjust your computer's time zone to unlock the game directly. But considering everyone's rest time after work and study, this time the livestream will be a little later, but if you're interested in a full walkthrough, there are already many streamers who have made videos and put them online. You can watch them then."

Welt's livestream was already very skilled, and over the years, Welt had gradually accumulated over ten million fans.

The money they usually give as tips is also a considerable number, although it's just a drop in the bucket for the Titans made by the Anti Entropy, but Welt can still use it for himself!

To improve his quality of life.

To be honest, Welt was quite satisfied with his life right now.

It's just that he didn't know what Haxxor Bunny had been up to lately, there was always a sense of unease, as if his Herrscher Core was vibrating.

But that should be an illusion, right?

It's impossible for Haxxor Bunny, who has made so many games, to have the energy to do other things, right?

So Welt didn't contact Haxxor Bunny much, which was very understanding.

As long as Haxxor Bunny kept producing games at a high output, she wouldn't have time to do anything else.

As for himself?

Just enjoy the game.

"But speaking of which, I'm actually a bit... afraid to try horror games and the like, after all, most of the horror games recommended by today's audiences are either about running away or hiding. The atmosphere of horror is created very well, but I really hate the feeling of not being able to fight back."

This statement resonated with many players. Facing monsters and ghosts, wanting to escape or hide, there are too many homogeneous games, which makes people lose interest.

But there are also good horror games.

"But this time, after watching the trailer, I vaguely feel that Miss Haxxor Bunny's thoughts seem to be similar to mine. She also doesn't like the feeling of no resistance. Therefore, in the trailer, it was mentioned right from the start that players can use firearms directly."

As he spoke, the game had already started, and then Welt bravely chose the difficult difficulty level, adjusted the brightness of the screen, and directly entered the game.

"Of course, more importantly, I asked Haxxor Bunny, and this time she used a brand new game engine. Although she didn't intend to announce it publicly, the games made with this game engine have cutting-edge graphics."

The game screen instantly changed to an overhead view of a city, with a police car driving in the majestic rain.

Then the camera slowly shifted to the inside of the police car, where there were four people in total.

The detective wearing a coat in the passenger seat was the protagonist of this game.

"Wow, the light and shadow, the rain, and each hair on the protagonist's beard can be seen clearly, and the light seems to be moving... Hmm, is this the ray tracing set at the beginning of the game? I didn't expect such an exaggerated effect..."

Of course, there were also optimization issues. Welt felt that his computer's fan was running wildly, and the graphics card's fan was even whirring.

The highest quality seemed to be a bit stressful for his computer?

For Welt, such technology brought him a considerable shock.

And seeing this, Otto couldn't help but frown.

"Is this... using the technology of the previous civilization? Is Haxxor Bunny using it on this? This is too wasteful!"

Little did he know that Bronie also criticized Otto, always putting his memories with Kallen in the Schicksal database, and even being hacked into by Bronya.

The finesse of those memory data is not inferior to the fierceness of Bronie's game?

Unfortunately, no one criticized Otto, so Otto could only continue to watch carefully.

The plot began with a riot in the mental hospital.

Many police officers had gone to investigate, but reinforcements were still needed, and the protagonist and his team also participated, arriving at the Lighthouse Mental Hospital, only to find corpses everywhere!

Just as Sebastian was investigating the surveillance, he saw a hooded man inside using some kind of special and bizarre superpower to slaughter all his colleagues.

Even the hooded man sensed Sebastian looking at the surveillance, and then teleported behind Sebastian, directly knocking him out!

Next, the game officially began.

The classical music piece "Gymnopédie" slowly played, with piano and violin playing together, intertwining.

And Sebastian was hung like a piece of bacon in a room full of corpses, the sound of flies buzzing around his ears, blood dripping slowly down his arm onto the floor in front of him, attracting rats.

Just like a dream, you don't know when it started, but when you realize it, the protagonist is already in danger.

"Well, the information about the plot in front is enough, such as what the noise in the police car is, why the female officer didn't react, and why there are no pedestrians in the city. This is indeed quite strange."

Welt, as always, noticed many details in the game that ordinary people couldn't see, which was why Otto chose this streamer to watch.

Otto also reacted to this.

With Bronie's technology, there should be no problem making pedestrians in the city.

So why aren't there any?

Perhaps...

From the beginning, this world was not real!

Chapter 124: Mr. Otto Really Wants to Play Games

In horror games, the vast majority tend to give newcomers a tough initiation.

Even Welt's experience was no exception.

Sebastian arrived at the mental hospital in a daze, only to be knocked unconscious by a hooded man with superpowers.

He woke up to find himself hanging like a pig in what seemed like a slaughterhouse. However, instead of animals, it was humans being slaughtered.

Welt guided Sebastian through the eerie atmosphere, set to classical music, and helped him find a dagger stuck in a nearby corpse.

With the music masking his movements, Sebastian managed to cut the ropes binding his feet with the dagger.

The tension escalated with the next task: to sneak up on the killer and snatch the key to escape without alerting him.

"Okay, when we were hanging upside down earlier, we saw a close-up of the monster's face. We noticed that its left eye is blind, creating a blind spot on its left side. If Haxxor Bunny has paid attention to such details..."

Welt whispered as he cautiously approached the killer from behind. Suddenly, the killer planted his cleaver into the meat and headed to the adjacent room, giving Welt an opportunity. He swiftly grabbed the key and bolted.

"Phew, the horror atmosphere is spot on. Just getting a key is terrifying..."

Welt breathed a sigh of relief, but accidentally triggered a tripwire trap as he attempted to leave the slaughterhouse.

The alarm blared, and the killer approached with a chainsaw.

What followed was a tense chase, with the killer injuring Sebastian's right leg.

Despite the near-disability, Sebastian managed to flee desperately.

However, instead of immediately catching up, the killer activated various bizarre traps, seemingly enjoying torturing Sebastian.

Amidst the frantic escape, Sebastian failed to notice the world's peculiarities, much like a dreamer often doesn't realize they're dreaming.

After countless hardships, Sebastian finally escaped the mental hospital. His leg injury miraculously healed, but outside, the world was collapsing like doomsday.

Fortunately, Sebastian's driver, who had come to rescue the hospital staff and patients, picked him up just in time.

As they fled along the highway, the city began to crumble, yet no one seemed to grasp the world's oddities amidst the chaos.

In a dream, perhaps nothing happens upon death.

But in this world, death is permanent.

As the ambulance raced through a tunnel, they reached a cliff at the end.

Thus, the first chapter concluded with the ambulance crashing off the cliff.

"Our previous speculation seems to be correct. The driver turned into something strange, and this world is likely a dream. Sebastian hasn't realized the truth yet, too preoccupied with survival," Welt analyzed.

Can dreams connect everyone's consciousness?

The chaos of this world, from the sadistic killer to the sudden transformation of the driver, seemed to foreshadow something.

Even Otto couldn't help but itch to play the game.

The game was well-crafted, with its terrifying atmosphere and twisted acts set to classical music creating an indescribable horror.

Hearing Welt's analysis, Otto couldn't help but start to speculate.

"Sorry, Amber, I'll make it up to you later," Otto said as he clicked to download the game.

As for Bianka's exploration of the Sea of Quanta?

All Otto could do was record data and provide a precise beacon for their return when they were ready.

Only, it had been so long, and there hadn't been much response from Gnius.

Otto couldn't help but worry about Bianka. Perhaps he should ask Haxxor Bunny to help search for them in the Sea of Quanta?

Once the thought crossed his mind, Otto hesitated again.

How should Otto put it... I'm not sure what kind of price he'll have to pay.

Every time Haxxor Bunny sets a clear price, there's a deeper meaning behind it for her plans.

Even the Aeon of Elation is interested in her, and the concept it represents can't be ignored by Otto.

Should he make contact?

Forget it, let's just play the game. Maybe Haxxor Bunny's assessment of Bianka is just because Bianka hasn't spent enough time in the Sea of Quanta!

Then Otto looked at the game that had already been downloaded and clicked to start playing.

...

"Bronya believes there's no problem with resource allocation, but she's concerned about this safehouse."

"Why's that?"

"Bronya just realized that sometimes, when facing a boss, it's best to run away. No matter how much firepower you have, it's not enough."

Bronie's efficiency in making games is so high that even Bronya, who is watching on the side, hasn't caught up yet, and many things have already been set.

So Bronya doesn't know much about the content of the game or the flow of levels.

When she actually experienced this game, Bronya was quite scared.

The urgency brought by the boss, the horror atmosphere created by the game, and then the tranquility of Debussy's Clair de Lune.

It's the narration, like squeezing toothpaste, gradually revealing the truth, often in the form of newspaper reports.

If you're playing for the first time, it's not easy to figure out the whole game.

And even Sebastian's own story is revealed bit by bit as the game progresses.

These collectibles aren't hidden deep, but not all players can collect them all.

So it will rely on other streamers to organize these plots, just like Elden Ring and Bloodborne.

"Yeah, all fear stems from insufficient firepower, but when I give you firepower and find it's still insufficient, should you be afraid?"

With Bronie's question, Bronya nodded repeatedly.

"It's because I found that my firepower was insufficient that I was afraid. Sis Bronie really understands this!"

"That's why even though the bullets given in the map are scarce, by the late game, bullets are endless. It's just that some special mechanisms of the boss temporarily render the firepower in your hands ineffective."

"So that's the more frightening part."

Originally holding a gun, acting all high and mighty.

But as soon as you encounter a boss, you're instantly brought back to reality.

No one can accept the despair of suddenly losing firepower!

No one!

Not even Bronie can escape this!

At this moment, Bronya and Bronie's thoughts converged, and they looked at each other tacitly before bursting into laughter.

"Bronya has learned a lot about making games and is very happy."

"Well... then the DLC for Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Evil Within 2 will be up to you?"

Bronya's laughter abruptly stopped.

"Sister Bronie, you'll definitely give me the proposal, right?"

Bronie just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Are you sure you'll give it to me?"

Bronya wanted to confirm again.

But still no conclusion.

Now she is starting to feel a bit anxious.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm just teasing you. It's totally possible to make proposals and settings."

The subsequent production of excellent works can indeed be more mentally stressful, and Bronya is still young. She is not yet ready to bear these burdens.

Elden Ring and Bloodborne are definitely no problem, as for Evil Within 2, it depends on whether there are still classic works of such layers of horror in this world.

If not, maybe it can still garner a lot of good reviews.

As for not being able to garner good reviews?

Well, then just fall from grace.

Bronie doesn't care too much about these things like being hailed as the Renowned Game Devoloper of the Year, after all, not everyone likes Pokemon or Splatoon.

Just get used to it.

...

Overall, the plot of the entire Evil Within game is relatively simple.

Sebastian, as a police officer, was captured by an organization called Mobius for experimentation.

And this experiment was a consciousness synchronization system built around Ruvik's brain.

Ruvik wanted to regain his physical body, so when he discovered that the brain of a mental patient was suitable to become his vessel, the consciousness synchronization system completely malfunctioned.

After all, these systems were all based on Ruvik's brain, so Ruvik himself was the administrator of the entire system, just lurking and waiting for Mobius to send a suitable experimental subject, one that could bear his consciousness and allow him to revive again.

Later, Ruvik found one, so he began to turn against Mobius. Mobius noticed the problem with the system, so they sent more people in to solve the problem, as they didn't want to abandon this experimental result.

Sebastian was sent into the system in a daze, and with firm determination, defeated Ruvik.

Facing Amber's complex gaze, Otto savored the entire process of the game with mixed feelings.

There's no need to say much about the plot, it's too simple, but the overall experience gained is quite good.

Especially with the infinite rocket launcher at the end, providing a release for pent-up frustration, and it can even be kept for use in the second playthrough, it's indeed a very good design.

But after tossing and turning, Otto couldn't find any useful information, and that so-called STEM system, the consciousness-sharing synchronization system, had major flaws from the beginning. These flaws, to be honest, were not a problem for Otto, for Elysian Realm, or even for Haxxor Bunny.

So Otto was very puzzled.

"Amber, listen to me."

"Well, does the Bishop breaking his own promise mean something very important, right?"

"This consciousness synchronization thing, I suspect Haxxor Bunny is playing a big game, so I need to delve deeper into the game to understand Haxxor Bunny's thoughts and mental state while making this game."

"Has the Bishop reached any conclusions?"

"Of course not yet. It's like I completely don't understand Haxxor Bunny's reasons for making this game, maybe it's just to bring joy to everyone."

The meaning of making games itself is to bring joy to everyone.

Being able to laugh is the ultimate meaning of human existence in the universe, maybe this is Haxxor Bunny's explanation to the existence of the Joyous Aeon of Elation.

Because only Haxxor Bunny has said these words, and only Haxxor Bunny is still in contact with the The Elation.

If you look at it this way, Haxxor Bunny's actions can be explained reasonably.

It's no wonder Haxxor Bunny has caught the eye of the Aeon of Elation.

Creating such excellent games, even Otto, who has been dormant for five hundred years, can find enjoyment in them, and sometimes can't help but laugh out loud.

But after the game ends, there's a sense of melancholy.

Haxxor Bunny is really good at controlling people's hearts.

"Well, Bishop, maybe you should find a way to train Lady Theresa to share some of your work, so you can have more leisure time to enjoy your rest."

"That... would be nice too..."

Otto's eyes lit up at the thought of Theresa in the far east doing nothing, and often hearing reports from Himeko about her using public funds to buy Homu's Moving Castle peripherals.

How should he put it.

To cultivate a future Archbishop, you have to start from a young age. Although Theresa is very excellent in all subjects, she's a bit lazy in terms of mentality.

Still, she has the ability to help himself deal with some of the miscellaneous matters of the Schicksal.

"But, Bishop, Amber suggests that before Lady Theresa can take on the work, please don't let the documents pile up again."

"Speaking of which, Amber."

"Hmm?"

"Do you think those old fogeys of the Schicksal can accept Haxxor Bunny, a game producer, to manage the Schicksal?"

Amber was shocked.

This is something she can't decide.

So she quickly bowed her head and said, "Bishop, the Schicksal is yours alone, and the members of the Elder Council can only protest."

"Maybe~"

Chapter :125 Prison Visit

"Achoo!"

After completing the game production, Bronie decided to take a short break.

The research on the Elysian Realm had little to do with him, and the progress was gradually slowing down.

There was no way around it. No matter how powerful Schicksal was, the resources at hand were limited. However, Fu Hua had indeed been healed and was now staying in the Elysian Realm as both a Celestial and a part-time Valkyrie.

Over the course of fifty thousand years, Fu Hua's body had undergone some changes, which intrigued Mobius.

Of course, there were also the injuries she had once died from.

Later, Aponia stepped in, and everyone learned that it was the aftermath of the SWARA, which made everyone feel awkward.

"Human, it seems you also have days of illness. With such a fragile body, why not abandon it and become my subordinate? I can grant you immortality and endless power."

Sirin stood by, seeing Bronie's grand gesture, disdainfully pushed aside her plate, on which there was still uneaten cherry cake.

This cake, naturally, was traded from Rosalia's.

That little fool could be easily pleased with a little sweetness. When tired of snacks, Miss Sirin could always exchange with Rosalia.

As for where the money came from?

Hmph, wasn't it the money sent by that bastard Siegfried, who left Kiana? Who else could it be?

"Granting power and such is better left unsaid. Clearly, you can't even defeat me."

Bronie lazily lounged on the sofa, her small feet in white stockings dangling by Sirin's feet, her toes restlessly moving around, while Sirin dared not speak up.

She widened her eyes.

"Hmph, that's because I'm not at my peak now!"

"Hahaha, do you know, above the stars, within the Sea of Quanta, there are countless humans! If you want to destroy humans, why not take them along?"

It was obvious this was a provocation.

Sirin could only glare at Bronie again, then reluctantly lay on the sofa like a deflated pufferfish.

"Forget it, humans are like insects, you can't kill them all. When the Archbishop of Schicksal is no longer useful to you, remember to bring him to me to vent my anger."

With Sirin quiet again, she naturally pondered many questions, such as the meaning of life, her future plans, or her own hatred for humans.

Later, as she thought about it, she was drawn to games and their stories, and she also figured out many things.

Archbishop Otto of Schicksal, an extreme egoist, had caused countless tragedies in order to achieve his goals, and was also the main culprit in Sirin becoming a Herrscher.

But he also gave Sirin a chance to start over, so Sirin generously allowed Bronie to use Otto to achieve her goals!

It wasn't because of Bronie!

"When you remember, call for Benares. Maybe you'll get a loyal maid."

"Bella! Oh, right, there's Bella..."

Hearing Bronie's words, Sirin suddenly remembered something.

"Let's not talk about Bella's matter for now."

Then Sirin slumped back on the sofa.

"Huh?"

Bronie looked puzzled.

"Do you have any games that can be played inside the consciousness? That way, I can be lazy and not come out. Sometimes, Miss Black Seele gets a little impatient with taking care of me, and I feel it's more comfortable to play games inside Kiana's body."

"Well, there is a thing like that Some of the personalities in Vill-V have complained that their control over the body's time is too short, so they thought about surfing the internet inside the consciousness. Give me some time, and I can create it directly."

"Well, this kind of life is enough. Without goals, life feels meaningless. I can only play games, eat snacks, and simply live day by day."

Revenge had occupied most of Sirin's life, and when revenge was no longer in her to-do list, Sirin couldn't find a goal and fell into abit empty.

Perhaps having Black Seele as a friend was also possible?

However, Black Seele seemed completely uninterested in taking action most of the time, and Sirin inexplicably found herself influenced by Black Seele.

Although Kiana could be quite chatty at times, she was indeed interesting, especially when she acted foolishly and then cried and begged for help in her silly manner.

Although Sirin knew it was an act, she was willing to build a good relationship with Kiana. Because in her life, there were only Kiana and Black Seele.

Of course, now there was also Benares.

"Okay, as long as you're happy. But in the future, the Elysian Realm might need the power of the Herrscher of the Void to help out a bit. They can offer you quite a reward. If you're not too busy, it wouldn't hurt to go over and help a little, right?"

"In the future? How long from now?"

"Um... Four years? Three years? In short, just a little use of your fingers."

"Okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with my gaming."

Sirin completely assumed the demeanor of a salted fish, which made Bronie also feel somewhat regretful.

How did a fine pufferfish end up becoming a salted fish in her orphanage?

Oh well, with Sirin's promise, everything was fine.

"It seems I'll have to create some more interesting games in the future, but Sirin."

"What?"

"You've been playing Apex for so many years, why are you still in the gold rank?"

"Mind your own business!!"

...

"Long time no see, Kevin. I'm here to negotiate terms with you."

Su became an important field operative for the Elysian Realm and would receive direct orders from Elysia, Mobius, and Vill-V.

Of course, he was also entrusted by Otto to observe Bianka's group from afar in the Sea of Quanta, providing necessary security for their quantum sea travels.

However, just soaking in the Sea of Quanta and watching the adventures of the two girls felt quite boring to Su, so he found Kevin and came to visit his 'prison'.

Kevin was quite surprised by Mr. Su's arrival.

Seeing that ethereal figure, Kevin knew that Su had stopped observing him through the Project Veluka and had resorted to other means.

It seemed he still didn't intend to let him out.

"I thought I wouldn't have a chance to come out until after I died, my old friend."

The real Kevin remained as icy as ever, and even more bewildering was the fact that in this empty world, Kevin had inexplicably created a Honkai beast.

It was extremely large and a bit ugly, but very intimidating.

"The Project Veluka has ended, and the Elysian Realm..."

"Who?"

Whenever the Elysian Realm was mentioned, Kevin became a bit anxious.

"Calm down, my dear friend, the Elysian Realm is as normal as ever. I mean the Project Veluka was successful, although it didn't have much to do with me."

Hearing Su's response, Kevin couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"Is it reliable?"

Foreigners, generally speaking, were very unreliable, and they had no reason to save this world or fight against the Honkai.

Precisely because he fully understood the Honkai, Kevin knew how difficult it was to fight against it.

"I can see her determination, and she has a good relationship with the memory body Elysia... Strictly speaking, after Vill-V's research, it was determined that she is a Herrscher from the Sea of Quanta, a similar existence but different."

"Herrschers can't defeat the Honkai."

Su knew his old friend's personality very well, so he smiled.

"Elysia, she brings hope to fight against the Honkai, so it's not impossible for Herrschers to defeat the Honkai."

"So, the plan?"

"Resurrect Elysia, use Elysia's power to locate the location of the Cocoon of Finality, modify the internal system of the Cocoon of the Finality, or directly seize control of the Cocoon of the Finality."

"Resurrect?"

"It just happens to be used to pass the time here for you. The Elysian Realm has recently undergone many changes, most of which are quite good. Dr. Vill-V and Mobius's recent research reports will show you, and you will understand after reading."

As Su spoke, it seemed like he was manipulating something, and then a bunch of paper documents came flying down like a storm.

This sudden change left Kevin a bit bewildered.

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've seen that expression on you. You probably won't be able to read most of the scientific reports, but you should be able to understand this summary."

The paper documents had almost formed a small mountain, but there was a golden document at the end that caught Kevin's attention.

"What ability is this?"

"Oh, right, it's the Ether Editing ability possessed by the great successor chosen by the entirety of Elysian Realm. She copied that document, then compressed it. I just decoded it, so it's not my ability after all."

Looking at the summary, Kevin finally understood the general idea.

Because he had to learn some advanced knowledge to deal with Herrschers in the past, Kevin could still understand many things.

And the truth of the world that Dr. Mei didn't notice until the end still remained in Kevin's mind.

The Tree of Imaginary Numbers...

The truth of this world, and even more information, was actually brought by the Herrscher from the so-called Sea of Quabta!

"I will personally judge the matter of the Herrscher from the Sea of Quanta."

Su's lips curled slightly.

"I knew you would say that, so I won't rush to bring you back. I'll wait until we have a complete research result, but it must be boring to stay here. I have a game console here, as well as a charger and high-energy battery, which can be used continuously for ten years."

Another box fell on top of the documents, and Kevin was a little regretful to be imprisoned in the Sea of Quanta by Su like this.

Otherwise, why did this scene seem like Su was visiting him in prison?

But he still felt a complex mixture of emotions as he hesitantly opened the game console.

But there seemed to be only one game in the console—Getting Over It with Haxxor Bunny.

"Why is there only one game?"

"Because I want you to play this game first. The other games will be unlocked after you clear this one. And these games are all made by Miss Bronie. You can understand what kind of person she is through her works, although maybe only a part of her."

Seeing Su's relaxed smile, Kevin suddenly had a rare feeling of unease.

"Don't worry, Elysia knows about you and can't bear to see you lonely in here. We will prepare to establish a network later, so you can communicate anytime, and I will also come occasionally to deliver supplies."

Isn't this still like visiting a prison?

Kevin was very annoyed.

But he could only reluctantly accept it.

After all, back then, it was Kevin who pushed Su into the world and tacitly accepted Su's actions to stop his Project Stigma.

The Project Stigma was the worst plan, so it was saved for last. There was nothing wrong with that, but Kevin's mentality was not very good at the time. With the failure of Griseo's Project Ark, Kevin's patience was completely exhausted in the end.

Griseo's matter had a great impact on Kevin.

"I understand, I will judge on my own."

Kevin believed that the so-called game couldn't guarantee the true nature of that person.

But it could reflect the character of the creator indirectly.

"Well, I look forward to the day when we meet again in the future. Maybe even Dr.Mei could be resurrected."

The softest part of Kevin's heart was touched, and there was suddenly a glimmer in his eyes.

"Until we truly defeat the Honkai, I will not give up on the Project Stigma."

"I understand, my dear friend. Goodbye, my dear friend."

Su nodded, feeling that Kevin had indeed changed very little.

No, it should be said that there had never been any change in Kevin's heart when it came to fighting against the Honkai.

Just like Sans, who locked themselves and the Genocide Route in the same timeline, heroes always bore such heavy burdens.

Kevin just watched as Su gradually dissipated, but at the last moment, Su suddenly said, "By the way, game development is also divided by time. I marked the production time and the time she arrived. Maybe the theme has a lot to do with her connections in this world."

Then Su completely disappeared, and the world bubble once again entered its usual silence.

Originally, Kevin had planned to relive the tragedy of the Twelfth Herrscher.

But now, what was in front of Kevin was a plan to revive the Imaginary Tree and a game.

Looking at the densely packed documents, Kevin felt his scalp tingling, so he turned his gaze to the box containing the game console.

When he opened the box earlier, he found many other things inside.

Digging through the box, he found a box of instant noodles with a note attached to it.

【To Kevin, the boss outside! I heard you seem to be having a tough time! I've brought you a box of instant noodles. When we're all resurrected, we must eat together again!】

There were many more gifts behind it: Gridek's paintings, Aponia's carved figurines, Vill-V's surprise box, Mobius's green snake sleeping bag, Elysia's storybook prepared for him, which was a small story between Elysia and Bronie in the Elysian Realm.

Of course, there were also Vill-V's puzzle pieces, Kosma's comic book, Sakura's cherry blossom decorations, and the vinyl record and record player from Eden.

Each gift had a note attached, along with some words of encouragement and encouragement.

Kevin trembled as he slowly put down the note in his hand, silently raising his head to look at the empty sky of the Bubble World.

There were many things he wanted to share with everyone, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything.

Can resurrection really succeed?

Chapter 126: Is This Revenge!?

Evil Within marks a milestone in literary works. Every year, the Schicksal Awards honor outstanding games, often including those developed by Haxxor Bunny. Last year, various Switch games received accolades, and this year, the original plan was to celebrate Sinful Equipment. However, the sudden appearance of a possession by an evil spirit disrupted these plans. Discussions about Evil Within have persisted online for quite some time. During Bronie's temporary hiatus from game development, the children at the welfare home created something unique.

Lilia and Rosalia viewed idols as a profession that could inspire dreams, using this belief as their motivation. They treated the Genesis System as their stage, often spending their time dancing and enjoying themselves. However, the noise generated from their activities bothered Xingmei. Bronnia, on the other hand, saw an opportunity to create games amidst the chaos. She suggested developing a dance game using the motion controllers of the Switch.

Bronnia's idea garnered support from Bronie, who recognized the vast capabilities of the Genesis System. Even creating a game like Dance Central from scratch seemed feasible. However, they needed to be prepared for the possibility of failure. Despite Dance Central being a well-made game with an extensive song library, its sales were disappointingly low. Hence, preparing for failure was essential in the game development process.

Thanks to the powerful AI of the Genesis System, challenges in recognition and motion input were deftly overcome. This raised the question: was this development a positive outcome? For the children at the welfare home, it certainly was. With the Genesis System potentially lowering the barrier to game development, Bronie could discover more works within SBeam's 18+ zone, as long as they didn't involve Yellow Rabbit.

As a result, an influx of new games was expected online, although concerns lingered about their quality. Meanwhile, Bianka embarked on a month-long exploration of the Sea of Quanta, coinciding with Otto's gaming sessions. Upon their return, Otto sensed that their experiences were far from ordinary.

Unexpectedly, Schrodinger and Shi Yiqiluo were still within the Sea of Quanta. Even more surprising was Bianka's bizarre encounter in the Sea of Quanta. Bronie's suggestion for Bianka to bring hardware hacking devices proved invaluable, aiding in resolving crises such as robot rebellions.

However, the subsequent events involving the Holy Sword Durandal and peculiar crystallizations, culminating in the world being encapsulated within Bianka's body, left Otto bewildered. How did a simple exploration turn into such chaos?

Feeling unsettled, Otto realized he had new options. Consulting Bronie and the scientists of the former civilization of the Elysian Realm seemed prudent. Should he seek their counsel?

Despite the risk of exploitation, leaving the situation unaddressed and hoping for a spontaneous connection between Bianka's world and the imaginary tree was unrealistic. The complexities of accessing the imaginary tree, let alone manipulating a Bubble World, were daunting tasks even for Schicksal.

Although Su considered intervening, Haxxor Bunny's admonition against interference dissuaded him.

Ultimately, Su marveled at Haxxor Bunny's wisdom.

The thrilling adventures, fantastical plots, and vast Sea of Quanta data gathered during Bianka's journey would undoubtedly aid Verve in further Sea of Quanta research.

Therefore, whether Otto chose to disclose this information or not, the inhabitants of the Elysian Realm were already aware of it.

With Su on their side, their knowledge was practically assured. In England, Mr. Su would be regarded as a mythical being, at least akin to the Lady of the Lake.

"So, what exactly is this Holy Sword Durandal?" Bronie inquired, having heard the news from Elysia.

Upon Elysia's prompt, Bronie gazed into the starry sky, where he was often found crafting his games.

This revelation startled Elysia, who had initially mistaken the projection of the starry sky for reality.

After Elysia relayed the information, Bronie expressed his doubts.

"I heard it was advanced technology from the former Mu continent; after all, they were the ones who researched the Sea of Quanta the most. Later, it was discovered that there were very few instances of collapse in the Bubble Worlds within the Sea of Quanta, so there arose some factions advocating escape."

"I see. After hearing Vill-V's explanation, Bronie also had a sudden realization. Honestly, the technological advancements of the pre-civilization were quite remarkable, but initially, we didn't know about the existence of collapse. By the time we realized it, it was already too late."

"Do you think they succeeded in escaping?"

"What do you think? If we define success as the continuation of civilization, then yes, they did succeed. But from my perspective, this is a complete failure."

"I also think it's quite a failure."

"I just didn't expect that thing to actually be completed, and it stayed in the Sea of Quanta for so long, yet it's still functional!"

"Anything is possible, right? But after this, our task might have one more item added to it, which is learning how to reconnect the Bubble Worlds to the imaginary tree. This task could be troublesome."

"Yeah, this task could be troublesome, but it still needs to be done because if we want to resurrect Dr. Mobius, besides directly going to the imaginary tree, there's another way."

Mobius also chimed in. Usually, whenever Bronie's video call comes, Mobius always likes to join in.

"In the Project Stigma Mobius sent the Arbiters into the Bubble Worlds, and Dr. Mobius is also there, right?"

"Exactly, on the moon."

Mobius was once again astonished. Bronie actually knew about this, which was something Mobius never expected. The Project Stigma was formulated by Mobius himself, so naturally, she knew these details, but she had never mentioned it to anyone, not even to Kevin.

Kevin only knew that there was indeed a Bubble World clipped by the Herrscher of Finality on the moon, but she might not know about Dr. Mei inside it.

Or perhaps he pretended not to know.

But for the resurrection plan ahead, Dr. Mei' only chance for resurrection lies within it!

"Kid, it seems you know a lot of secrets!"

"I'm not omniscient, I just happen to know what I know. You know, I like fishing information in the 'backyard' of the world, and I always manage to catch some interesting things, like this one."

["Elysia: Griseo, remember to call me 'Elysia little sister' from now on, and when you call Mobius, call her 'Grandma Mobius'~

Griseo: Why?

Elysia: Because I want to see everyone's surprised expression! The youngest Griseo suddenly calling the beautiful and charming Elysia 'little sister' in front of everyone, wouldn't they think, 'Ah, could it be that the lovely Elysia has another side? She looks so mature usually, but is actually a child?']"

"Elysia!!!!"

Finally, Mobius understood why Griseo suddenly called her like that!

Upon seeing the video Bronie sent, Mobius was so angry that she left the screen directly, and Elysia quickly fled, entering a deeper layer of the Elysian Realm.

Isn't that where they should fight?

Then Vill-V came to take over the video call.

"By the way, I'm curious about one thing. Why did you tell Su not to intervene no matter what? Although you can retrieve past information, you can't possibly retrieve future information, right?"

Expert Vill-V's observational skills were still very sharp. If her observation skills weren't keen enough back then, nobody would have realized when the Herrscher of Finality appeared, and then responded correctly.

So she noticed that many of Bronie's actions had significant issues.

"The Imaginary Tree records everything, and the Aeon of Finality, , came back from the end of the timeline. Naturally, there are sometimes some possibilities of the future. Um, how does this explanation sound to you?"

"How about this explanation? Fiine. Since the news about the Aeons came from you, maybe there really is such a thing. Aponia might also be treading a Path."

Vill-V nodded after hearing this, and Bronie felt a bit relieved.

She finally dodged that topic.

"The data Su brought back this time should provide significant progress for the entire research, right?"

Bronie changed the topic.

Expert Vill-V was also stunned.

"Yes, it can indeed provide a lot of progress. It's never been heard of that someone could contain a Bubble World within their body. You're the first in my memory, and the second is that girl Bianka. There must be something special about her to support her in reversing an entire Bubble World. If possible, remember to bring back some blood samples."

Vill-V ended the communication, seemingly no longer intending to continue the conversation.

Bronie, who ended the call, also felt complicated.

Although the Joyful Star God and the Silver Wolf also noticed the unreality of this world.

But when most people hear such uncertain news, they are prone to have a change in mindset.

Just as Bronie was lamenting how this world was really messed up, Fu Hua sent a communication request.

"Fu Hua? I remember it's nighttime on the Elysian Realm's side, right? Why did you suddenly contact me?"

"I'm currently at the Schicksal Headquarters. I hope I'm not disturbing you?"

Fu Hua, don't be so polite when speaking. You're old, so speak a bit more firmly!

"Of course not, the air at the Schicksal Headquarters is quite nice. Just tell me if there's anything, I'll do my best to help!"

Bronie patted her chest, completely unconcerned that Fu Hua might be tricked into using herself by Otto.

After all, Fu Hua's mind is now clear, although she still has the same honest personality, she won't be easily used by Otto.

Even if there are things that she can't understand, he can directly ask the people of the Elysian Realm for analysis.

Three blind mice can still outsmart Zhuge Liang, not to mention the several smart people from the pre-civilization.

"So, the thing is, after I recovered most of my memories, I suddenly remembered that there were many things I forgot to bring from the place where I used to live."

Fu Hua said, picking up an exquisite doll. Bronie could tell at a glance that it was the Book of Fuxi ELF.

In the past, Nuwa and Fuxi were worried that the future Fu Hua would live too lonely, so they created this ELF for companionship.

It records many things, helping Fu Hua remember when clearing her memories, and providing a better life for Fu Hua on weekdays.

In simple terms, it's like a nanny.

"An ELF without electricity, and possibly hardware aging? I understand. But I might not be able to spare time here. If you're free, come over here. Maybe the kids can heal your weary soul a bit?"

"Miss Fu Hua, are you chatting with Miss Haxxor Bunny over there?"

As someone interjected, the topic changed.

Hearing the familiar voice, it was most likely Bianka.

"Hello, Bianka, you have a good look in your eyes. You seem to have grown a lot. Maybe I won't be able to beat you in the future."

"Thank you for your guidance. Your guidance to me and Rita in the Sea of Quanta played a significant role at critical moments, so many sacrifices were reduced in the events inside the Bubble World."

Although there were still many sacrifices, and some were friends familiar to Bianka, compared to the entire Bubble World being destroyed, this outcome could be considered very good.

"By reversing and using your body as an Ether Anchor? You're really taking a risk. But through this reversal, constantly honing your body, after solving the problem of the Bubble World, your strength will probably rise to the strongest in this entire civilization."

How did she see through my problem at a glance!?

Upon hearing this news, Bianka was also somewhat anxious and asked, "Does Miss Haxxor Bunny have a way to solve this problem?"

"Of course not. What you want to do is simply to connect the Bubble World to the imaginary tree. But the difficulty of this thing is like lifting fallen leaves to the branches. Just randomly planting fallen leaves somewhere isnt enough, you still need to ensure that the leaves can survive."

"Overseer said... the same thing..."

Hearing Haxxor Bunny's explanation, Bianka couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"But it's not completely hopeless. Anyway, borrowing the power of the Herrscher of the Void, there may indeed be such a possibility. And in the Sea of Quanta, there are aliens called the Sugars, and their technology may have developed to such a level."

"Where did you get all this information from?"

"As a hacker, of course, these are hacker methods. But I haven't really dealt with that clan, so don't expect me to have any channels."

Hearing this news, Bianka felt that she had at least a real goal.

That's good.

"Then can I ask Miss Haxxor Bunny a question?"

"What?"

"Can I follow Miss Fu Hua to your side? I want to try again to see how much my strength has grown. Dealing with the Honkai outbreaks worldwide recently made me feel no difficulty at all, so I want to know where my limits really lie. Of course, I don't mean to retaliate!"

What do you meant this isn't retaliation?! It must be retaliation! It must be retaliation!!!

Chapter 127: Siegfried's Promise

To be honest, Bronie was quite worried after Otto found out the location of her orphanage and deliberately kidnap the children to threaten her.

However, later on, Bronie also realized that if Otto really dared to make a move, Bronie and Sin would intervene. After the matter with Bianka was settled, Bronie could almost equip them with some exclusive weapons.

Just as Bronie was pondering how to deal with Bianka, Welt contacted Bronie again.

"I heard that you've been getting close to the Valkyrie of Schicksal recently. Although we at AE don't care too much about who our partners associate with, we still need to reassess the danger you pose to AE."

Because of Bronie's close relationship with Otto, Welt was feeling a bit anxious, to be honest.

After all, even on the commercial street of the St. Freya Academy, a switch experience store suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Is that reasonable?

Of course, it gave people a very unreasonable feeling, especially since the information network of AE recently showed that the activities of the Guardian of Shenzou Fu Hua were becoming more frequent again.

First, she went to Egypt, then to somewhere unknown, and then straight to Siberia after visiting Schicksal Headquarters!

This forced Welt to step up once again and ask Bronie what was going on.

After all, in the eyes of AE, Fu Hua is associated with Schicksal and is like a nuclear weapon.

"You evaluate it yourselves. Fu Hua has actually been the Guardian of Shenzou for thousands of years. What's wrong with me being friends with the Celestial?"

This reply directly silenced Welt.

"Well, the research on light dust has made some progress. AE has discovered the ether particles you mentioned, but unfortunately, we can only constrain them with magnetic energy at the moment, unable to capture too many ether particles, nor can we rewrite reality like you can."

Pretty impressive, at least Otto hasn't managed to constrain the ether particles yet. And once they reach this stage, the next step is to condense the ether particles. Who knows, maybe one day they'll suddenly develop the technology of the Garden of Recollection and create specialized Light Cones?

To be honest, that thing feels quite similar to the Stigmata, but even more powerful.

"This is really good news. So, did you contact me just to say this? Although there is indeed some cooperation between Schicksal and me, I have no reason to disclose any information about AE to Schicksal. Strictly speaking, it should be Otto of Schicksal who is asking for my help, which is why there is contact."

Just now, Bianka just came out of the Sea of Quanta, and Otto allowed Bianka to come to Bronie's side?

Isn't it just to use a little beauty to trap Bronie?

Perhaps it's because of Elysia's peculiar personality that Otto judged that Elysia might have a profound influence on Bronie.

By establishing sufficient bonds between Bronie and the Valkyrie of Schicksal, to some extent, Bronie could be 'Honey' trapped, and in the future, Bronie could also pave the way for Schicksal.

Otto's plan is indeed a sound one, filled with sugar coated bullets aimed at Bronie, but Bronie has always liked to eat sugar-coated bullets and throw them back.

"Otto is asking for your help?"

Where did Welt not get confused after hearing Bronie's words?

Under Otto's command, Schicksal controls countless resources. What in the world could Otto not obtain?

"It's for scientific research. Tesla and Einstein inside AE can't possibly devote all their energy to research, so I had no choice but to go to Otto. He has resources if he needs them, and energy if he needs it. The power structure of Schicksal Headquarters is not chaotic, and greedy capital has not completely corroded Schicksal yet."

Bronie's string of words made Welt feel a bit embarrassed.

Indeed, there are quite a few parasites within AE, after all, fighting against Honkai requires money.

Where is the easiest place to get money?

Of course, it's in the hands of capitalists!

So there are often many capitalists inside AE acting as partners, and even Raiden Ryoma is no exception.

"But he..."

Just as Welt was about to warn Bronie that Otto is a very dangerous guy, cooperating with him is like seeking fur from a tiger.

But at this moment, something suddenly smashed through Bronie's office window!

Glass shattered all over the floor, Bronie dodged in the video, while on Welt's side, he saw a stone flying over.

"Siegfried, you have some nerve! Throwing stones at my windows! Welt, we'll talk later. I'm going to deal with that bastard Siegfried!"

With that, Bronie ended the communication, while Welt looked bewildered at everything before him.

Since Siegfried threw stones and shattered the windows, Bronie decided to confront him head-on, breaking through the window and flying out.

Projecting a single-person flying device similar to a Greenish Goblin's skateboard beneath her feet, Bronie accurately located Siegfried in the nearby green forest.

Couldn't Kiana find Siegfried?

That's mainly because Siegfried was always lurking nearby when Kiana was around. So when Kiana moved into the orphanage, Siegfried didn't refuse, but he kept his distance most of the time. Siegfried probably didn't know that Sirin and Kiana had reconciled.

As for Siegfried, he heard from the people at AE that people from Schicksal were about to arrive, so he was a bit anxious. He feared that Schicksal would directly capture his daughter and turn her into Otto's experiment.

But what good would anxiety do?

He still needed to inform Bronie about this matter. So, not knowing how to contact Bronie, Siegfried resorted to smashing stones through Bronie's office window.

He hit the mark with the first shot, feeling quite pleased. However, he then saw Bronie coming out menacingly, riding her 'Green Goblin' skateboard.

With lasers locked on and missiles launched unveiled by the hoverboard, Siegfried fled in a desperate manner, almost crawling away.

He frantically dodged the hail of lasers and missiles and explained to Bronie:

"Bronie, it's me, it's me!"

"I know! Siegfried, you irresponsible fool! Do you know who Kiana often talks about when she's sleeping alone in her room?"

Actually, it's Bronie and Sirin.

But that didn't stop Bronie from deceiving Siegfried.

"I have my reasons!"

Feeling uneasy about being bombarded like this, Siegfried recklessly fired a shot with the Judgement of Shamash without even looking, aiming it blindly at Bronie.

The hot bullet flew past, precisely destroying the Green Goblin Hoverboard under Bronie's feet, forcing Bronie to jump off.

With the commotion gone, Siegfried stopped continue fleeing. But there was a benefit, they were far from the orphanage so their conversation wouldn't be overheard.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Bronie descended from the sky, leaving Siegfried stunned.

"So, you can actually fly?"

"That's not the point, but it seems you've been struggling lately, Siegfried. You're not shaving or washing. You look much older. Perhaps it's because the only light in your life has disappeared, making your daily life more decadent."

Unable to approach Kiana again, Siegfried feared that his presence might trigger Sirin, making him the scapegoat for all humanity.

"I don't want Kiana to have too much contact with Schicksal's people. If Schicksal finds out where Kiana is, she'll definitely be taken to Schicksal Headquarters as an experiment!"

Seeing Bronie's imposing demeanor, Siegfried felt quite guilty. So when he heard Bronie asking for the main point, Siegfried expressed his concern.

"Fu Hua doesn't completely belong to Schicksal."

"Huh?"

Siegfried looked puzzled.

"But you're right. If Durandal sees her, she'll definitely be pursued."

Knowing Durandal's straightforward nature, Bronie was well aware that a fight would be inevitable then.

And if Sirin sees her getting along well with Fu Hua, she might even be seen as a traitor and get blasted on the spot.

Although Sirin has become quite lazy, she's still dangerous when provoked.

"So, what do you want me to do? Should I reveal your whereabouts to Kiana, or should I just drive her away?"

"Just revealing my whereabouts is enough. I'll gradually guide Kiana away from Schicksal's sight. Even though Fu Hua, in your words, is the Celestial who has guarded Shenzou for five thousand years, she's now working for Schicksal."

Actually, Otto dare not command Fu Hua anymore.

After all, Fu Hua has regained most of her memories, and if she's fooled again, Elysia won't stand for it.

"Alright, about your hand..."

"No problem, it's just the cost of using power that day. It's not a big issue."

"No, I mean if you don't mind, I'll send a blueprint for a prosthetic limb to Tesla's side. Then you can ask Tesla to make you a prosthetic limb. This way, there won't be too much trouble in battles."

"Thank you!"

Siegfried nodded, and then Bronie seemed to throw something, which Siegfried hurriedly caught.

"These are Kiana's exam scores during this period. She just barely passed each exam. Even though I accelerated the teaching curriculum and let her study a lot of knowledge ahead of time, her final grades are still just passing."

"What!?"

Siegfried looked bewildered.

The knowledge covered is almost at the level of high school, and Bronie even hacked into Welt's computer to obtain a lot of materials from the St. Freya Academy. Bronie thought it would be good for Kiana to preview the lessons.

But still, she just barely passed, which was impressive feat for Kiana at her age.

"Could it be that my daughter is a genius!?"

"She still needs to grow in character, but I actually don't want Kiana to only grow when she encounters deeply painful experiences. So I'm worried."

Kiana does have quite a bit of intelligence, and she only puts in a little effort because of Bronie's adoption. So Bronie seized on Kiana's small desire to study and paid special attention to her education.

Kiana would often ask why she needed to learn so much. Bronie's answer was that this knowledge was necessary if she wanted to understand Siegfried.

Of course, there were also many knowledge that only Valkyries would learn, as well as some specialized knowledge in the special agent field of the St. Freya Academy.

And Kiana managed to pass.

This level of achievement is actually quite surprising.

Seeing Bronie's distress, Siegfried was even more puzzled.

When would he have time to take Kiana to study?

At most, he could take her to a city, roam around for a while, make Kiana think he would stay there for a long time, and then wait for Kiana to go to school on her own temporarily.

"So where do you plan to take her?"

Seeing Siegfried's silence, Bronie continued to inquire.

To be honest, Kiana's current state couldn't be better.

Who knows what would happen after she goes out?

Bronie still felt a bit reluctant to part with the adorable Kiana.

"My friend's place. The whole city is relatively closed off but developed. My friend's influence covers the entire city, and Schicksal's eyes can't reach there. However, in terms of education, it probably won't be as good as here."

Siegfried also knew that education was important, but he didn't have the ability himself. So when he saw Bronie giving Kiana lessons little by little and inviting various professors to teach online, Siegfried was quite satisfied.

Seeing Kiana settle in at Bronie's place, Siegfried didn't stop her. After all, with Bronie's combat power, Sirin might not even win against Bronie even if she awakened.

And in all this time, Sirin had hardly awakened, which was a good sign!

"Nagazora?"

"How did you...?"

"So you've already decided, right? To be honest, you're the worst father I've ever seen. You always make what you think is the right choice at critical moments, only to find out later that everything is wrong. Avoidance never solves any problems. This time, I'll let you take Kiana away, but after that, you'd better explain to Kiana why you're leaving."

Bronie was extremely disappointed in Siegfried's current state. Seeing him looking so dejected, Bronie couldn't help but suspect that if Siegfried continued to take care of Kiana for a long time, problems would inevitably arise.

It's temperament, as well as behavior over time, that's passed down through words and deeds.

"I know..."

"Don't just say you know. What I want is a promise. Otherwise, I won't let Kiana leave. Instead, I'll bring you right in front of her!"

Sigh... This little girl is not to be trifled with!

Hearing Bronie's words, Siegfried suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Kiana is ready. She's mentally prepared to face that truth, and Sirin is ready too."

Now Bronie had closed off all escape routes. Having lived with Kiana for a long time, Bronie had the most say in this matter.

Even though Siegfried hadn't explained the reason for leaving Kiana once, he only now realized that Bronie actually knew everything.

"Okay, I promise. After taking Kiana away, I will definitely tell her the whole truth."

"The Kaslana family never breaks its promises, right?"

"...Right."

Chapter 128: Farewell to Kiana

Sometimes Bronie felt like Siegfried was just like a child, resorting to such primitive means to get attention.

Although primitive, it was indeed effective.

After bidding farewell to Siegfried, Bronie returned to her office feeling grumpy, slowly repairing the broken window with her abilities.

Shortly after, Bronie heard another sound of shattered glass!

"Bronie sis, Bronya thought Bronie sis had already caught that guy!"

Bronya was in Bronie's room because she heard that Bronie's office window had been smashed, so she came to see if Bronie sis was too angry.

It's quite strange that Bronya, who accompanied Bronie, had never seen Bronie truly angry.

Is it because Bronie has a very good temper, or is it because of Bronie's usual character?

Like the Joyous Aeon of Elation, who could laugh even in the face of the most awkward situations. But this time, Bronya felt like she had a chance.

"That's Kiana's dad..."

"Bronie sis! I saw that old man! I'm going after him!!"

Immediately followed by third sound of breaking windows, just like Bronie's previous departure.

Bronie suddenly felt her blood pressure rise. Kiana's actions were quite decisive.

After breaking the window, she immediately started shooting wildly with the dual pistols her dad gave her, causing Siegfried to immediately retreat into the forest.

Kiana felt like she couldn't catch up for a moment.

"So, Kiana's father, after abandoning Kiana, is now coming to smash Kiana's window?"

Bronya was a bit puzzled by Kiana's dad's thought process. Could it be that parents are all like this in the world?

"Sirin used to have a tendency to destroy humanity, and didn't I tell you? The culprit behind the Second Eruption, which resulted in the death of your parents, was actually Sirin."

"Bronya understands."

Bronya's face also showed a conflicted expression.

At first, everyone was still wary of Sirin.

Although that guy claimed to be Sirin, the real Sirin already died in the previous Eruption.

The Sirin in front of them was just a second personality born under the negative influence of Sirin.

In everyone's eyes, he was just a pitiful person.

But does Siegfried believe that he's Sirin?

Hearing this, Bronya couldn't help but sigh.

"So, is everything clear now?"

"People always believe in what they believe in. For the Kaslana family, explaining these things is a bit difficult for him. I'm afraid Siegfried will only understand this after a long time with Sirin, but the key is Siegfried doesn't want to contact Sirin, and Sirin is explosive at any moment."

So Bronie's judgment was to simply let the misunderstanding continue.

When Siegfried discovered that Sirin was playing with someone else, let down his guard, and then talk to Siegfried about this matter.

Of course, Bronie also mentioned the matter of Sirin not being Sirin, but was only stared back by Siegfried's wise eyes, making Bronie feel quite tired.

"Why choose to appear now?"

Bronya still didn't quite understand.

"Well, it's probably because people from Schicksal Headquarters are coming, and Siegfried is afraid that Kiana will be taken to Schicksal Headquarters as an experimental subject. After all, Schicksal Headquarters is a huge floating island over the Mediterranean, and Siegfried alone can't break into Schicksal Headquarters."

"Will Valkyries be taken for human experiments?"

"In fact, in order to study the Eruption, whether it's Entropy, Schicksal, or World Serpent, they will choose to do human experiments. Valkyries like that are rare materials, how can they be let go? You know, you can never rely on strangers, nor can you expect strangers to have the same conscience as you."

When Bronya realized the general situation of the matter, she judged that Kiana would most likely leave the orphanage soon.

Today, Bronie, who rarely made games, found a button under the desk instead, and then pressed it.

Entering the password, a bottle of wine appeared in Bronie's hand.

This was the wine Bronie recreated from the memory data given to her by Eden.

It probably belonged to the priceless category in the previous civilization.

But for Bronie, who could easily mass-produce, these were definitely not considered priceless.

"Sis Bronie, why did you suddenly want to drink today?"

Bronya had never seen Bronie drink before.

Today, she didn't expect Bronie to actually take out a bottle of wine from under the desk.

Bronie took out a corkscrew, pulled out the cork of the wine, and blew directly into the bottle.

"Nothing much, just feeling melancholic. Kiana's state of mind and her future. Wings hardened will eventually soar, but never did I expect Kiana to be the last to come and the first to leave."

Bronie had thought Anila would be the first to leave the orphanage because she was a mathematical genius.

If she went to school, she would easily be recommended by teachers and then directly enter university for further studies.

Perhaps she would even become a doctor of mathematics in the future.

"So, Sister Bronie doesn't actually want Kiana to leave?"

Watching Bronie take another sip of wine, Bronya felt her sister seemed a bit sad at the moment.

"Yes, the road ahead is rough. Leaving this orphanage, there are many dangers outside. She might meet more people, form more bonds, but Honkai could take all of that away because Kiana's power is still insufficient."

Bronya didn't know what to say.

Shouldn't everyone avoid escaping?

Or should Kiana actually have the power to protect herself?

But Bronya felt that Bronie wasn't afraid of losing bonds; she was worried that Kiana's firepower wasn't enough.

After about four hours, Kiana returned.

Kiana returning was like a victorious warrior, instantly surrounded by the children.

After hearing that it was Kiana's father, Siegfried, who broke the orphanage's window, there was even more sighing.

Everyone here didn't have parents, but Kiana was directly abandoned by her dad. Seeing Kiana's expression, everyone felt a bit more pity for her.

As for envy?

That was definitely not there.

After Kiana came back, she shouted that she wanted to leave the orphanage. There was no way she'd stay after Siegfried walked straight to the airport!

And he even boarded a plane as soon as he arrived, so Kiana had no way to track him.

Later, she found out she didn't have her ID or wallet with her, and she couldn't even show her guns at the airport.

In the end, Kiana could only suppress her anger and return to the orphanage to pack her things.

As for where to go?

The distant Nagazora City in the Far East. Kiana, with sharp eyes, even saw the plane Siegfried boarded.

But before leaving, she had to say goodbye to Bronie.

"Sister Bronie!"

The office door opened, revealing Bronie lying on Bronya's lap, with many wine bottles on the sofa.

"Kiana, Bronie sis is already drunk."

But even a normal person would get drunk after drinking so much wine, it's just that Bronya felt Bronie was pretending to be drunk.

She just didn't want to see Kiana say goodbye to her.

Really, Bronie never expected to have this side to her.

"I'm not drunk!"

Bronie suddenly got up.

Kiana instantly perked up.

"Bronie sis, thank you for taking care of me during this time! And for teaching me how to get along with the other me..."

Kiana had a lot more to say, but she was hugged by Bronie.

Her broad chest buried Kiana's head, and the fragrance of her body mixed with a hint of alcohol wafted over.

"If you live outside, remember to protect yourself. There's an organization called World Serpent that actively triggers Honkai. Be extremely cautious. Don't just rush into things outside. Remember to consider the consequences, don't wait until it's too late to regret."

"Okay..."

Kiana tried to respond, but it was hard to respond when she was buried in soft marshmallows.

"I've prepared the neural interface device Sirin wanted. She can play inside your consciousness at any time, but remember to charge it. I've also prepared more different forms of identification for you to conceal your whereabouts. And for the Schicksal OS system, I've left you a backdoor. If you activate the automatic identity concealment, no one will be able to see you in the surveillance."

The so-called Schicksal OS is actually a crime prevention surveillance system built by Schicksal in various factions, monitoring and pursuing all criminals within its surveillance range through pervasive monitoring and Schicksal's database.

It's like Otto's eyes.

But that thing isn't as reliable as you might think. At least Grey Serpent can come and go as he pleases, and Bronie can use its resources without leaving a trace.

But Kiana can't, nor can Entropy, let alone Siegfried.

Of course, the Schicksal OS system is still spreading and being built all over the world, and it hasn't truly achieved omnipresence yet, which is a good thing.

"Bronie..."

"Lastly, if you encounter someone you can't beat, just run away. Trust Sirin, she can help you with a lot of things. Then go chase after your goals."

"Okay, after I catch that old man, I'll come back! I'll even take my studies seriously!"

"Then I'll set the pass mark at eighty next time."

"Ah! Please no!"

In the end, Kiana packed up her things and said goodbye to everyone.

Of course, she wouldn't leave behind her gaming console and a bunch of skirts projected by Bronie's interests.

All these things were stuffed into a chameleon-style backpack. Kiana, who still looked very young, put on the backpack and set off again.

After Kiana left, Bronie grabbed Sin Mal, who was watching Kiana leave.

"Tonight, you'll sleep with me!"

"Darn it! Bronie sis, how can you drink so much!"

Sin was very unhappy, but she still carried Bronie back to their room.

Actually, everyone knew that Bronie couldn't bear to see Kiana leave, after all, she was the most lively and cute kid in the orphanage.

Everyone liked Kiana, even though she seemed a bit foolish sometimes and was lazy in her studies.

But whenever there was something good, Kiana would be the first to share it with everyone, and her sincere smile could always touch many people.

It's just a pity that Bronie didn't have a reason to keep Kiana, because Kiana was also exceptionally talented in battle, and her strength was unmatched.

Bronie just hoped that Kiana could have an easier journey and not let such a lovely girl suffer too much!

The day after Kiana left, Fu Hua and Durandal came to the orphanage.

This orphanage was relatively remote, and it took more than two hours from the airport.

But it didn't matter, Fu Hua quite liked this kind of life close to nature.

In such a place, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, returning to nature, there weren't many Honkai Beasts.

"Welcome to Haxxor Bunny's Den! Fu Hua, how have you been lately? And Bianka... No, I guess I should call you Durandal now, right? The Sea of Quanta is constantly experiencing strange phenomena, and there are deeper shadows lurking within it. But you follow your own will and fight for all the beauty in the world. You're already a great hero~"

Bronie looked at the once somewhat Kiana-like Durandal, whose temperament had completely changed. It could be said she had nothing to do with Kiana anymore.

"I... I'm not yet a mature and powerful warrior, but indeed, as you said, I will strive to fight for everything beautiful in the world. From now on, I will form the Immortal Blades squad under Schicksal and eliminate Honkai worldwide! Ms. Bronie, would you like to contribute your strength to the eradication of Honkai?"

Reversing the Bubble World brought a lot of physical pressure to Durandal, but the Holy Sword Durandal provided her with continuous reinforcement, and her body was constantly adapting.

In short, this small universe inside Durandal's body was very beneficial.

That's why Durandal felt she was doing well again, so she came to spar with Bronie.

Although Fu Hua said Durandal might lose.

But there was no Valkyrie in Schicksal who could defeat her anymore!

The Honkai Beasts were almost crushed in an instant.

To know her body's limits, to know how much she had grown, Durandal came to find Bronie.

As for why she didn't find Fu Hua?

Beating up a 50,000-year-old person, is that appropriate?

Moreover, Fu Hua's body had just recovered.

Who knows if there would be any unforeseen circumstances in some of Mobius' improvised areas?

Faced with Durandal's invitation, Bronie just smiled.

"I'll fight against Honkai my way, but definitely not by putting my strength in Schicksal. If you want to fight against Honkai, Schicksal is definitely not the best option, because there's too much darkness hidden within it, maybe something you're unaware of. Do you know Schrodinger? Do you know Sirin? They're both related to the darkness of Schicksal."

Precisely mentioning these two people left Durandal speechless.

Perhaps... there really was darkness within Schicksal, but this was the most direct channel Durandal thought of to fight against Honkai.

She only had talents as a warrior; she wasn't familiar with how to thoroughly fight against Honkai.

So she believed that as long as she could get on the battlefield, directly eliminate Honkai Beasts and Herrschers, protect civilians, and save other Valkyries, these were the real priorities.

"But, I'll still offer you as much help as I can! Just for you~"

With that, Bronie winked at Durandal.

And Miss Durandal looked utterly puzzled.

Chapter 129: The Role of the Genesis System in Actual Combat

The key aspect of the nickname "Durandal" is "Dudu," not goose.

Upon seeing Bronie's wink, Durandal was also left bewildered.

It was Fu Hua, under Sin guidance, who entered the orphanage and felt a myriad of emotions.

Compared to the typical shabby orphanages, Bronie had clearly put a lot of thought into the children. From various costumes to toys scattered around, and even some cute dolls,

it was evident that Bronie deeply cared for the children. Especially with these toys and dolls, they didn't match the style of the house at all.

"In fact, this orphanage used to be under the control of a warlord named Cocorlia. Although she adopted them, she didn't hesitate to send them to the laboratory despite claiming to love them."

"So, do these children all have adaptability to Honkai Energy?"

"That's correct, but there are actually quite a few people with resistance to Honkai Energy. Honkai has been a part of human civilization for so many years; it's natural that there would be some adaptation, right?"

"Yeah, you're right."

Fu Hua agreed. At least in her memory, there were quite a few people with resistance to Honkai Energy. If one were to conduct a comprehensive data analysis, this number would be around five percent. Although few, within the base of seven billion humans, this five percent is sufficient to sustain human existence and maintain genetic diversity.

"But it's also very strange. Everyone actually has specific talents. For example, Sin is very skilled in time manipulation, perhaps she could even walk a Path of destiny. Anila is also a mathematical genius, and Nina also has a very clear goal in her heart."

The children played and curiously looked at Fu Hua.

As their age increased, it brought about a very surreal feeling for the children. It was as if they had encountered some legendary figures. In fact, the children did treat Fu Hua as a character from their textbooks.

"Oh, bring out Fuxi. It just so happens that Klein over there is also short of manpower to maintain the daily life of the Elysian Realm. If we leave it alone, I'm afraid the intense research activities of Mobius and Vill-V in the Elysian Realm every day will blow up the entire Elysian Realm."

"Ah? After fixing Fuxi, are we going to send it to the Elysian Realm?"

"No, I just need Fuxi's relevant data to reverse engineer the structure of the ELF. After all, neither Vill-V nor Mobius is a manufacturer of ELFs. This technology originally came from a genius scientist on the Mu continent."

"I've forgotten everything you said."

"You, how can you forget like that! Did'nt you undergo experiments involving data memory and entity fusion?"

"Forgetting some irrelevant things is quite good. Life is easier, and living happily every day is meaningful. Okay, here is Book of Fuxi."

Bronie reached out, and Fu Hua placed the suitcase she was holding on the ground and opened it, revealing a delicate and lovely ELF.

"Klein won't let me research, and the ELF Shamash is specialized in combat, while Fuxi is likely specialized in data analysis, so——"

"I understand! Are you planning to dismantle Fuxi?"

"Come on! Am I such a terrifying person! Just scan it, maybe gather some ether data, and then transcribe it into a blueprint. ELFs have experienced the awakening of mechanical consciousness anyway! Logically speaking, they should have some rights in the galaxy, right?"

Like Screwlium in the Genius Society, Bronie believes that awakened mechanical life forms should still retain some rights in terms of social structures in the universe. Taking them apart and putting them back together always feels like killing and resurrecting the other party.

"Sorry, I really didn't know about this..."

"So stop apologizing! Relax, smile more, okay?"

"Miss Bronie, please hurry up; I've already warmed up."

Durandal was brought over by Bronya.

Earlier, Durandal wanted to have an intense and exciting battle with Bronie immediately.

After asking if there was any open space for warming up, Bronya took Durandal to the playground where everyone usually practiced. As a result, Durandal warmed up in no time, as if she had done a set of warm-up exercises?

"Wait a minute, Bronie."

Fu Hua saw Bronya, then looked at Bronie.

"What's up?"

"Is that... your daughter?"

At this, Durandal also widened her eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense! She's my sister, my sister! There are countless Bronyas in the universe, and I happened to meet one and adopted her. What's wrong with that?"

"Right! Bronie isn't from this world!"

Durandal also suddenly realized, but she was still very confused. Could there really be countless Bronya in the universe?

"Sis Bronie is talking nonsense again. But perhaps there really are many Bronya in the universe. However, for Bronie sis, the only Bronya is me!"

Alright, now Durandal figured it out. Bronya indeed relied on Bronie.

While Durandal was chatting, Bronie finished what she was doing. Fuxi woke up slowly, and Bronie thought Fuxi and Fu Hua might need a separate space, so she threw them into Kiana's room. Fortunately, Kiana's room was also vacant.

"Let's go, Durandal. But one thing to note is that my fighting style might differ from conventional methods, and my style might vary each time. It's best if you wear your Valkyrie Battlesuit."

"No problem! In the Sea of Quanta, I felt the crisis there firsthand. Being able to wander alone in such a dangerous place, your combat power is much stronger than I expected."

This almost told herself to use her full strength! This suited Durandal's intentions perfectly.

"This isn't the place for full-on combat. If we insist, your combat power should be close to that of a Herrscher, right? Follow me."

As Bronie spoke, she projected a door, and upon opening it, they found a desolate space on the other side.

Even the sky was chaotic.

Durandal didn't hesitate to walk in, showing no sign of caution, which furrowed Bronie's brows.

"Didn't you even think for a moment before following me into an unknown space? Are you really so lacking in caution?"

"Huh? Would you harm me?"

Durandal's straightforward question left Bronie speechless.

Was it because Rita wasn't around that she never considered this possibility!?

"Remember not to do this again. I'm not from Schicksal but you will be the strongest Valkyrie. If someone has strong hostility towards Schicksal, eliminating the strongest Valkyrie might bring them considerable benefits."

"Since you can say that, you're definitely not a bad person. But thanks for the reminder, Miss Bronie. So, are you ready for the fight?"

With that, Durandal projected her ultimate creation – the Fourth Generation Godsbans Battlesuit, Bright Knight Excelsis.

"It's quite impressive, but I don't have much armor on me. However, I have this."

With a snap of her fingers, Bronie summoned numerous drones around Durandal.

"And then... activate the Genesis System~"

"Where is this... Mental Hospital?"

Durandal had played many games before, although she usually thought training was better than playing games.

Training could make her stronger and better equipped to deal with more Honkais.

But Rita always insisted on resting, and it was mostly a rest where she couldn't move much.

So, with nothing else to do, Durandal was given a game console and introduced to the games made by Bronie.

The games were fun, with some very touching stories.

Of course, Durandal's favorites were Bloodborne and Elden Ring, as those games helped her improve her combat awareness and learn to observe opponents' attack patterns.

This was very rare.

There were also fighting games that Durandal enjoyed for the feeling of hand-to-hand combat, each move a gamble.

Bronie's recent game, Evil Within, felt mediocre, with a bit of a spooky atmosphere, but Durandal felt she could do better than Sebastian.

However, as the worldview was gradually revealed, Durandal couldn't help but doubt if she could really defeat enemies like those who control minds.

What would the result be? Before she could reach a conclusion, Bronie pulled off this stunt.

But Durandal was sure that everything before her was false; the original space should have been flat, with nothing extra.

"Sorry, I just made use of the existing materials a little and wanted to test the effectiveness of my Genesis System."

"So, you developed this thing recently?"

"Yeah, for more efficient game development and for the realism of future games. Next is the Genesis System, activating the simulation mode."

As Bronie inputted the command, everything changed before their eyes. The sound of rain, the feeling of raindrops hitting her body, the smell of gunpowder, and the slight hustle and bustle of the city – even the taste of the air changed!

This made Durandal frown.

"Are we done?"

"Done? The moment you put on your Valkyrie Battlesuit, the battle began. Did you forget? Do you need me to count down? Alright, three, two, one, start!"

Bronie raised an eyebrow, and Durandal suddenly felt a sense of danger.

This instinctive sense of danger was something she acquired only after becoming the Valkyrie wielding the Holy Sword.

She quickly moved away, and behind her, a strange safe-box head appeared, swinging a bloody saw-meat axe in the air!

But the smell of blood and the airflow caused by the empty swing made Durandal feel incredulous.

It's too real!

Even though she knew everything before her was fake, and she was trying hard to feel the flaws in everything, but...

"Hmm, is this intuition related to the magnetic field? It seems that for true simulation, further improvement is needed. Be careful next, the difficulty of the game will gradually increase, and what you see may not be real or very..."

Finishing her words, Durandal suddenly felt weightless, as if she were plummeting rapidly!

And the whole city was crumbling. No, why did she feel weightless!?

Durandal didn't have time to think, but one thing she was sure of was that she had to defeat the one controlling everything.

That's Bronie!

Durandal quickly stepped on the fragments around her, but stepped on nothing.

A Fake.

Just when Durandal thought she was about to fall into an abyss, she found that what she thought was an abyss was only a small step away. But the scene around her changed again.

"The next wave of attacks is coming~"

The voice came from the left!

Durandal no longer trusted her eyes and rushed towards the sound without hesitation.

But her spear hit something hard, making her arm numb.

"What... is this thing... It's even harder than the shell of a Honkai beast..."

"Hmm, the shield system passed. Next is Anila's Spear of Time..."

"So, you're using me as a test weapon now!"

Durandal was getting impatient. But Bronie remained calm.

"Face your weaknesses, don't be misled by what you see, don't let your emotions guide you. A truly powerful warrior won't be affected by these little tricks."

If it were Kevin, he would freeze everything around him.

If it were Kalpas, he would summon a bunch of meteorites for a wide spread destruction.

If it were Aponia... probably she would pull the target into a dream and change the battlefield.

As for Elysia, a bunch of flashy special effects would overwhelm the scene, overloading the Genesis System's processing power.

Anyway, every Flamechaser had their own way.

So, this thing of Bronie's could only be used to torture rookies at most.

But hearing Bronie's words, Durandal suddenly felt respectful.

"I see, Teacher Bronie, I understand! I'll find a way to break through everything! King! And Queen! Listen to my command! Destroy everything in front of me!"

Initially, Durandal's Valkyrie Battlesuit had impressive offensive capabilities, and now she summoned even fiercer stand-ins, attacking wildly like a berserker.

Ordinary drones would be useless, so she used...

"I found you!"

Suddenly, Durandal locked eyes sharply at the direction of Bronie, making Bronie's heart skip a beat.

"Are you a bat! How can you use this trick!?"

"This is a function of the Autonomous Phantom Spirit. I never thought of using it before, but..."

Two huge knights attacked Bronie, but were caught by the fists of an even larger robot.

"I won't fail so easily this time!"

Chapter 130: The Kaslana Family's Unique Power - Flying Bricks

When illusions closely mimic reality, they can indeed be formidable in battle.

Even Honkai Beasts and Herrschers might be deceived by them.

However, such illusions can easily be dispelled with a change in perspective. Whether it's through X-ray vision, infrared vision, or sound wave radar vision.

Of course, these things can be countered; it's just that Bronie hasn't optimized her abilities to that extent yet. Maybe in the future, but for now, it's all about the fight.

Both King and Queen were restrained by a robot, but this was merely a group effect of the Valkyrie Battlesuit, and the real power lay with the Valkyrie herself!

Durandal wielded her lance, activated the Valkyrie's environmental scanner module, and searched for Bronie's figure through King and Queen's perspectives.

But all she saw was a swarm of drones, making her scalp tingle.

She had always known that Bronie was not easy to deal with.

Once Bronie got serious, she might face a swarm of drones akin to an entire army.

However, she didn't expect the drones to appear so quickly, perhaps due to being misled by the previous scene.

"Is this your reliance for freely roaming in the Sea of Quanta?"

"This isn't everything. Can you be sure that Dr. Schrödinger won't also reveal everything to you? Every time, she manages to participate in some magical things. To be honest, I admire her quite a bit."

While they conversed, the battle raged on. King and Queen fought back against the Project Bunny projections from Bronie, while Durandal attempted to break through the drone swarm like a headless fly.

As for Bronie?

She continued projecting more drones like a Zerg Queen. Each time a drone was destroyed, Bronie immediately replenished it. However, Durandal could feel herself getting closer to Bronie.

As for Bronie's previous barrage attacks from all angles?

The Valkyrie Battlesuit was equipped with special shields, easily deflecting low-power attacks without causing any harm to Durandal. And it seemed that Otto had also gotten smarter; the stunning pulse was now protected against with targeted shields.

It was as if...

Yes, using Durandal's hands to test Bronie's combat power.

"Activate the sound wave radar interference."

Accompanied by Bronie's despair-inducing voice, Durandal once again became blind. Instantly, her blood pressure skyrocketed.

This was impossible!

Angrily, Durandal focused on Project Bunny nearby.

"Let's start by destroying this broken robot, then destroy all the drones! King, switch to infrared vision..."

"Activate the infrared interference lamp."

Although it couldn't achieve perfect realism, Bronie could still blind her opponent. Randomly shining the infrared light would only further confuse the opponent. Finding someone, let alone dealing with drones, became a difficult task.

So, Durandal could only focus on this so-called heavily armored rabbit.

Upon closer inspection, this drone was one of the more refined ones among all the drones. With its two massive mechanical arms, it seemed capable of destroying anything.

The analysis on the Valkyrie Battlesuit provided astonishing data. If it were a regular Valkyrie, they would easily be crushed by such a robot. King and Queen on her side could support her, but it was still challenging, hence the saying, "Flying bricks."

Running at full power, the Valkyrie's internal reactor could turn a person into a death knight with the corruption flowing from the Valkyrie Battlesuit.

However, for Durandal, this wasn't much of an issue. The leaked honkai energy was used to repair the damage on King and Queen, giving her the ability to contend with Project Bunny.

But now, things were different. King and Queen were merely auxiliary combat spirit projections, and the real power lay with Durandal.

As long as she eliminated all threats and prevented Bronie from posing a threat to her, the worst-case scenario would only result in a stalemate.

Though a bit passive, Bronie was still Bronie; could she be a teacher without showing a thing or two?

Watching Durandal charge like a knight, Bronie's lips curled up slightly.

"Hahaha, too weak, too weak! My heavily Project Bunny is designed to counter Herrschers. Your charge is too feeble!"

Project Bunny raised its arms in a defensive stance, its dense particle shield blocking most of the damage. Although King and Queen seized the opportunity to attack while the rabbit was unable to counter, their attacks were once again blocked by the shield.

"So, this is your trump card?"

"No, although the process of making this Project Bunny is cumbersome and it's not possible to project it in large quantities, this can't be considered my trump card. It can only be considered as a trial machine. It performed well; the Project Bunny has suffered about 30% damage, and it's currently activating nanomachines for self-repair."

Durandal's mentality was a bit shattered.

Bronie created such a powerful robot. Could it be that after mass production, it could directly deal with the Honkai?

There was no way. Durandal could only grit her teeth and once again increase the power of the Valkyrie Battlesuit.

According to Otto, the Valkyrie Battlesuit's maximum output power and speed could even rival the Schicksal transport ship.

On the battlefield, charging with a spear was like a shooting star.

However, great power often came with great risks. Although the Valkyrie Battlesuit also had plans to deal with impacts, most of them still required the Valkyrie's own strength to resist.

But this attack was indeed very powerful.

It made even Bronie sigh.

The blue meteor broke through the wall of the basement of the Lighthouse Mental Hospital and headed straight towards Project Bunny, which resembled a great demon king.

The Project Bunny's AI judged that this attack wasn't suitable for direct confrontation, so it began to evade.

But could Durandal's charge be easily dodged?

The Valkyrie's reactor power was continuously increasing, and the gamma particle thrusters left a long blue trail in this illusory space. After moving away from the Project Bunny, it turned back and chased at an even more exaggerated speed.

The illusory scenery around began to distort. Among the swarm of drones, Durandal finally saw a glimpse of the silver-white figure.

Now Durandal understood.

Yes, no matter how powerful this high-precision projection device was, it would be difficult for calculations to keep up with her maximum speed.

Perhaps this was the limit of Bronie's projection drones. Once that limit was exceeded, this little illusion couldn't deceive her anymore!

So it was because of insufficient power...

The meteor turned again, and Bronie couldn't help but comment. Indeed, the Kaslana family liked brute force. This kind of violent solution left Bronie with no solution.

As the blue meteor flew past, Bronie's figure disappeared and reappeared elsewhere.

"I finally found you!"

Durandal's voice followed.

Because of the spear's effect, Durandal's breakthrough didn't make as much noise as expected. Perhaps Otto had also considered this issue when designing the Valkyrie Battlesuit?

"It's meaningless if you can't hit me. But your speed is indeed exaggerated... The difficulty of the game will increase from now on."

"You're really leisurely..."

Durandal realized that if she were to fight against Honkai Beasts, most of them wouldn't be able to withstand a few of her attacks. But facing such an intelligent opponent made things tricky.

Seeing Bronie's relaxed demeanor, Durandal couldn't help but feel a fire burning inside her. Who made Bronie behave so effortlessly?

Slowing down would be misled, speeding up couldn't catch Bronie. Durandal had never experienced such a frustrated battle. To be honest, this battle was enough to be remembered for a lifetime, especially Bronie's smile.

The feeling of wanting to hit but unable to hit was extremely tantalizing to Durandal's heartstrings.

"Be careful with the next attack!"

The environment around them began to change. The basement of the Lighthouse Mental Hospital gradually turned into a seaside.

Although there were no obstacles to their vision, there were countless drones around.

Durandal's eyes were sharp, observing a drone gathering energy and firing bullets resembling Rubik's cubes.

"King! Block the attack!"

Although she didn't know what kind of attack it was, considering the many battles before, wouldn't Bronie try to test the limits of her Valkyrie Battlesuit?

But Durandal couldn't be sure what effect this attack would have, so she quickly provided energy to King to let him probe.

The result of the probe was out.

Although this attack was slightly faster than bullets, it was very slow for Durandal. But this attack could actually disintegrate King directly!

A miniature King action figure fell to the ground, and Durandal could imagine what scene it would be if she were hit by this move.

"What kind of attack is this!?"

"It's Ether Editing, a kind of reality manipulation ability. Although it can also be studied and used by others, it's still under research for now. And of course, I'm the best in this civilization and industry! This is the true face of my ability!"

Next, two drones began to attack.

Followed by four, eight, and then sixteen!

The attacks increased exponentially, and while dodging, Durandal inevitably encountered situations where her Valkyrie Battlesuit was scratched.

So under Bronie's intense onslaught, Miss Durandal's armor became less and less intact.

Following the loss of the Valkyrie Battlesuit's original functions, Durandal's combat power began to decline. But Durandal gradually realized.

Bronie was doing this intentionally!

Although the firepower gradually decreased, there were indeed very few intact pieces of armor left on Durandal.

She looked at Bronie, who was no longer hiding herself, and countless drones formed a staircase in front of her as Bronie descended slowly.

"The game is almost over. Have you achieved your goal?"

"I thought our fight would be more intense, more passionate, like a fighting game."

"Sorry, I'm not a combatant, just a game producer, without the kind of power your Valkyries have (weak artificial stigma)."

"I always feel like you're hiding something."

"After losing the Valkyrie Battlesuit, your combat power has been greatly reduced. Are all the Schicksal Valkyries like this?"

Seeing a pair of smooth, beautiful legs in her field of vision, Durandal grabbed them.

"Do you want to see the combat power of a Valkyrie without armor?"

Durandal was very angry.

Mainly because there were indeed few intact pieces of Valkyrie Battlesuit left on her, and all the sports underwear inside had been exposed.

This kind of playful way of fighting really made people angry.

The last time she fought, she also felt like she was being played with.

"Wow, so clever. Without admitting defeat, pretending to be weak, just to seize the opportunity to get close to me, right?"

"Sorry, I was rude! It's all thanks to Teacher Bronie's good teaching!"

After saying that, Durandal prepared to perform jujitsu.

Durandal's grip strength was really amazing. Under such powerful grip strength, combined with her physical fitness, she grabbed Bronie's ankle like a python about to climb up Bronie's body.

But Bronie also grabbed Durandal's wrist.

"Is this what you call an ordinary game producer without the power of a Valkyrie?"

Durandal and Bronie entered a wrestling state. Even though Durandal was only twelve years old now, her true physical strength perfectly demonstrated the advantageous part of the Kaslana family's genes.

Her strength was comparable to that of an empty person.

"Are you still a normal human? With such great physical strength, have you ever checked your ancestors' composition?"

"These are all done by Sir Red Kite. And what about you? Why are you so powerful?"

"Because I'm Bronie!"

Taking advantage of Durandal's still undeveloped body, Bronie used her height advantage to lift Durandal high.

Then she slammed her down heavily.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

This fall was a bit harsh, but for Durandal, it wasn't anything serious.

It just made her feel a little dizzy suddenly.

"This is not a graceful battle, but it doesn't matter. The test of combat skills is coming up next. Since you're so looking forward to it, let's go."

As she spoke, Bronie projected a long spear that seemed to be full of elements of clock gears. This was the spear Bronie made for her younger sister, Sin.

Durandal also quickly got up. Hearing Bronie's words, she immediately picked up the Eternal Silence Helel and stood up.

The expression on her face was excited, unable to hide her excitement.

"Even if you win this round of confrontation, I will never lose in combat skills!"

The damage to her body?

What's that?

It's not as tiring as running twenty laps with weights on her back at the Schicksal headquarters!

Durandal just felt frustrated during the battle, unable to use her strength properly. But if you were to talk about her current condition, Durandal believed that she was in perfect condition.

From the wrestling just now, Durandal could feel that Bronie was definitely not the kind of weak girl she portrayed herself to be, but someone with real skills.

And the purpose of finding Bronie for a fight was to test her own limits. The encounters Durandal had faced before weren't considered real battles!

"In the world, there's never anything absolute. It's better to say as little big words as possible. But is there a feeling of accelerating your heartbeat?"

The second round that Durandal anticipated had finally arrived.

What else could Bronie's close combat bring to herself?

Adrenaline began to be secreted, and her heartbeat began to accelerate.

"Come on! My heart is racing!"
