Yuno, who originally had a tendency to self-destruct, became an excellent fighter only after being persuaded by Hayashi.
As for Bronya herself, it was only after being persuaded by Lin Yu that she began to work seriously for Tianming.
Squad leader Fu Hua was very optimistic... no, she is not optimistic anymore.
They all hugged each other, and any other words were superfluous.
The school principal, Major Ji Zi, and even Bishop Otto are all very optimistic about Brother Lin Yu.
If anything goes wrong with him, then...
Bronya, who was originally worried that Lin Yu would cause jealousy, suddenly felt a little gloomy in her heart.
Bronya is such an idiot. Compared to these "little things", Brother Lin Yu's personality is the big problem.
Even when squad leader Fu Hua, who had such a close relationship with him, was talking about those things, he didn't seem to be willing to listen.
His step-sister Miss Rita and his best friend Miss Bianca must have noticed his character a long time ago and there is no way they could just ignore it.
The result is that the class monitor who is suspected to be his lover, Miss Rita and Miss Bianca, who have a close relationship with Lin Yu's brother, have not been able to change his style.
If he continues in this style, he will definitely step into the center of the battlefield again during the next major collapse.
But the next time it collapses...
——Who can guarantee that the next Herrscher will be like Mei-sister and actively suppress the power in his or her heart?
As a member of the Anti-Entropy who had been exposed to the Cocolia Core Plan, Bronya knew very well that before becoming a Herrscher, the Herrscher's body would gradually fall into despair due to various reasons.
And those bodies that are in despair, once lured by the sound of collapse, are very likely to transform into world-destroying demons on the spot.
Except for those who are determined, ordinary people will not care whether the people around them are innocent or not when they are desperate.
Even if Brother Lin Yu can defeat the Pseudo-Herrser, with his current strength, he will basically die against the Herrser.
If something happens to Brother Lin Yu, Sister Mei may not be able to suppress the Herrscher Core directly. This is the most likely thing to happen first.
By then, the two Herrschers will start fighting on a new battlefield...
Although this association was a bit sudden, Bronya instantly thought of the Second Honkai Incident that almost affected half of Asia.
It's not like she hasn't checked the information in the Destiny database.
Although the information about the second collapse in the Destiny Database did not mention that Anti-Entropy participated in the battle, the database did mention what happened at the end of that collapse.
The Herrscher of the Void is simply too powerful, and the result of its Honkai energy going out of control could result in most of Asia being contaminated by Honkai energy.
In order to prevent this tragedy, the Valkyrie Cecilia Shanyat and her husband Siegfried held back the Herrscher of the Void and directly requested the headquarters to fire a Honkai energy fission bomb at their location, thus preventing the tragedy.
If what Destiny said in the internal data records this time is true, then once the Herrscher lets loose and fights seriously, it may really affect the future of billions of people as said in the database.
And now, the next collapse...
When she thought of this, Bronya felt that her head, which had been aching recently, was now hurting even more.
The last collapse was caused by her adoptive mother, Cocolia.
And in the raid last night, the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite created by Cocolia appeared.
Once when everyone was chatting, Kiana mentioned that her father Siegfried had a falling out with Bishop Otto because the latter got his hands on the power of the Herrscher.
Now it seems that Bronya didn't see where Otto got involved with the power of the Herrscher.
But her adoptive mother, Cocolia, is now really trying madly to get her hands on the power of the Herrscher - she can even mass-produce clones of the Herrscher.
Even so, she was still not satisfied with the troops she had.
The third collapse failed, and Cocolia has been craving for the Herrscher Core, so...
——She will definitely be preparing for the next major collapse!
At this moment, Bronya realized this and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, reaching for the handkerchief in front of her with trembling hands.
If she were just an ordinary fourteen-year-old child, she might even favor her adoptive mother out of family affection.
However, Bronya is not an ordinary kid.
Her IQ is actually very high. For some things that ordinary kids can't see through, Bronya can figure out 80% of the truth as long as she calms down and makes a little guess.
Originally, she was still immersed in the fantasy of Cocolia using the power of the Herrscher to save Seele.
But after Lin Yu directly pointed out the reality that she didn't want to face in her heart, Bronya now only felt...
——Ah, no, Bronya really feels terrible.
Cocolia's mother will definitely cause trouble.
And judging from the fact that she can create clones of Herrscher, although she cannot defeat the Far East Branch, her combat power is surprisingly sufficient.
If she has the chance, she will definitely find a way to create a new Herrscher, and the new Herrscher will arouse Lin Yu's desire for revenge, causing him to rush to the battlefield, and in the end it may turn into the worst result of 'Lin Yu's death, Mei's rampage, and the two Herrschers fighting each other'.
In the past, Bronya had been running away, but now...
——Mom, I’m sorry.
After taking a deep breath, Bronya immediately contacted Himeko and Theresa, who had not returned home all night, through the terminal in her hand.
"Hello, Bronya?"
At the other end of the terminal, Himeko, who had been in charge of the aftermath all night, asked Bronya with a tired look on her face.
"What happened in the dormitory?"
"Himeko-sensei, Principal, Bronya has a plan."
At this moment, Bronya exhaled deeply and spoke to the two people in the picture very seriously.
"Bronya, I want to contact Cocolia's mother, and then..."
"——Bronya wants to use me as bait, lure her out, and arrest her directly."
"But before completing this battle plan, Bronya wants the principal to give her a guarantee."
"After catching Cocolia's mother... can the principal guarantee that Destiny won't kill her?"
After saying this, Bronya suddenly felt that all the strength in her body was completely drained.
Although she had betrayed Cocolia before, after Lin Yu found a reason for her, Bronya used the reason Lin Yu found for her to escape this fact.
But now, after saying this, she could no longer deceive her own heart.
Even though she thought it was a good thing to stop her mother from continuing to do evil, for the girl, the essence of her action remained unchanged.
For the sake of the "greater justice" that she had never cared about in the past, Bronya chose to betray her loved ones.
When did Bronya become such a weak person?
Is it the hint of madness that occasionally flashes across Cocolia’s mother’s face?
Or were they the words of Brother Lin Yu that revealed the truth?
At the end, after hearing Theresa's words "I promise you", Bronya, who was lying powerlessly on the bed, finally flashed the last scene she thought of in her mind.
That day, she saw a girl named Yuno, who, even though her body and mind were controlled by the Honkai, still cried because she had killed her mother with her own hands.
Perhaps it was because of this incident that she realized how serious her past mistakes were.
Only then will she realize how crazy her adoptive mother is.
At this moment, the girl lying on the bed covered her eyes with her arms and felt her tears flowing out of her eyes uncontrollably.
Seele, Bronya betrayed Mother Cocolia.
Is this thing...really correct?
......
St. Freya Academy. Principal's Office
In the principal's office, Himeko and Theresa, who had just heard what Bronya said, felt...
——Wow, such an exciting battle, is it really okay?
The two of them knew each other that Bronya was Cocolia's adopted daughter.
Theresa believed that Bronya could make the right judgment, and although Himeko did not trust Bronya easily, she did not target her specifically because of her identity.
Of course, basic precautions were still taken, but as for Ji Zi's precautions, Theresa felt that there was nothing wrong with Ji Zi's approach.
After being the branch chief for so many years, it's not like she hasn't changed at all.
Rather, she was grateful to her old friend for trying hard to help her, who was so willful, and for finding a way to provide a safety net.
"The current situation..."
After pondering for two seconds, Theresa decisively gave up thinking and threw the question directly to Jizi.
"Jiko, what do you think?"
"be honest."
Recalling the conflicting emotions of determination and hesitation on Bronya's face, Himeko found it very strange.
"If it were any other time, I would think it might be a trap."
"It's not that I doubt Bronya, but Cocolia might throw out some information to lure Bronya into the trap if she notices it, but..."
"but?"
“But this is not the right time.”
After taking a deep breath, Jizi looked at the schedule in front of her and continued to speak to Theresa beside her.
"Cocolia and her allies just consumed the combat power of three Pseudo-Hermaphrodites and three Emperor-level creatures."
"Although we can't figure out Kokolia's true intentions, the loss of so many troops is enough to inflict heavy damage on her and her allies."
"If she really wanted to set a trap, if she was sane, she wouldn't choose to do so now when she is so exhausted."
"Well, that's what I said, but..."
At this time, Theresa asked Ji Zi with confusion.
"Is the person who actively triggered the third collapse really sane?"
......
Jizi really wanted to refute Theresa's words, but after thinking about it for a while, she realized.
Can't refute.
Regardless, Cocolia's actions were stupid.
Even if she took into account the clones under her command, the users of the Divine Key controlled by her allies, and the emperor-level Honkai beasts, Ji Zi still felt that these forces might not be able to win against a real Herrscher.
What's more, at that time, all Cocolia had ambushed in Changkong City were a bunch of Titan mechas - these things were nothing but a pile of scrap metal in front of the power of the Herrscher of Thunder.
As for the rumor that Cocolia had a backup plan at the time - this woman would have used it long ago, how could she have waited until now.
"Now that you say that, I suddenly feel uneasy."
At this moment, Ji Zi took out the terminal and contacted Lin Yu who was outside.
"Hey, Lin Yu, are you in the dormitory now?"
"Major Himeko? Please wait a moment. I'm moving towards the dormitory now."
"Oh, then don't go back yet, come directly to Theresa's office. Theresa and I have a special task for you."
"I understand."
After hanging up the call, Lin Yu looked at Fu Hua who was still being supported by him, and a trace of difficulty appeared on his face.
"I'll be fine."
After hearing Ji Zi's call, Fu Hua realized that their contact was too close.
Fu Hua, who immediately took the initiative to separate from Lin Yu, suddenly became louder for some reason.
"Anyway, don't mess around like that anymore, got it?"
"Yes, yes - you really don't want to go to the hospital?"
Looking at Fu Hua who turned her head away at this time, Lin Yu asked Fu Hua a little worriedly.
