At this moment, a look of struggle appeared on Cocolia's face.
But soon, this struggling look was transformed into a malicious smile.
"After you became a companion of the Herrscher of the Void, you betrayed your homeland, betrayed your parents who were killed by the Herrscher of the Void, and betrayed me and everyone in the orphanage."
"I can no longer regard you, a child who betrayed humanity, as my daughter."
No, no, Sister Kiana——
Bronya wanted to refute Cocolia's statement.
But now she discovered that no matter how many wrong things Cocolia had done, in the second Honkai incident, everyone, including Cocolia, Alexi, and her biological mother whom she had never met, were undoubtedly victims of this incident.
Perhaps for Bronya, who knew the truth, she had transferred all her resentment and anger to Otto, who caused all this.
But for those who were harmed and killed by the Herrscher of the Void, his current close relationship with her was indeed an intolerable betrayal.
Moreover, facing the malicious Cocolia, the angry Xing, and her father who was disappointed in her, a question suddenly arose in Bronya's heart that she could not help but wonder.
Have I really...let go of my hatred for the Herrscher of the Void?
Although I have been telling myself that it was Otto who created the Herrscher of the Void and that he was the culprit behind all this, it is also an indisputable fact that the Herrscher of the Void killed tens of millions of people and led to the death of our hometown and my parents.
Am I currently living in a cage that I created for myself?
"But even if you betrayed everyone, we will still choose to forgive you."
At this moment, Cocolia took the initiative to walk towards Bronya, changed her previous resentful look, and spoke to Bronya gently.
"You just went astray because you were too young. It's not your fault."
"As long as you come back to me, I will treat you as my daughter again."
"Not only me, but everyone in the orphanage, including your father, will be by your side."
"Bronya, I think..."
"——You won't let me down again, right?"
Yes, Mom Kokolia and Dad Alexei, they will stay by my side, and in return, I only need...
--wrong!
There must be something wrong!
At this moment, Bronya bit her tongue hard, then looked coldly at Cocolia, who had a gentle face, and Alexei, who now had a very complicated expression.
Perhaps Kolia's mother and Alexei's father were really resurrected in some way, but the resurrection of the "dead" is inherently full of weirdness.
I was suddenly pulled to this place, and these people who are closely related to me appeared in front of me. Treating this as a coincidence...that's what an idiot would do.
Someone is targeting me.
Or rather, someone is... targeting us.
After leading us to betray destiny, betray everyone, and betray Brother Lin Yu, its purpose was achieved.
Possessing the skill of playing with people's minds, and being able to detect other people's inner thoughts...
Apart from squad leader Fu Hua, only Otto can do this.
"Bronya, what are you still hesitating about!"
At this time, Xing walked up to Bronya and spoke to her viciously.
"Do you really want to betray Mother Cocolia again?"
"No, I won't betray anyone again, because..."
At this moment, Bronya went around behind Xing before Xing could react at all and pushed her directly into the arms of the Heavy-Armored Bunny.
The heavily armored Bunny, who had already sensed Bronya's general thoughts, grabbed the panicked Xing, hugged her in his arms, and blew her up on the spot with his maximum power.
After her heart was filled with determination, Bronya calmed down and could now sense the powerful Honkai energy emanating from An's body.
Although the strength of this level of Honkai energy is not as strong as that of a genuine Herrscher, compared with Yuno who used the Pseudo-Herrscher core to fight before, the Honkai energy emitted by Xing now is obviously at the same level as Yuno in the Pseudo-Herrscher period.
Before today, Bronya, as a logistical staff member with poor combat effectiveness in the team, had been analyzing the information in the Destiny Database.
According to the information left over from the previous era, the Ruler/Thousand Herrscher will select members who are suitable to become Herrschers and grant them the corresponding Ruler Core.
Although the Domination Core is far inferior to the ordinary Herrscher Core in terms of individual energy intensity, it has two characteristics.
One of them is to give the holder a weakened version of the ability of another Herrscher.
The other is to communicate with other Rulers of Law through the ability of quantum entanglement and exchange information.
Xing's power suddenly became stronger and she suddenly knew so much information. It must be because she had the control core.
Add in Cocolia's mother and Alexei's father...if both of them are also Rulers of Rule, then the chances of winning for me and Xiaotu can only be said to be extremely low.
So, I'm sorry, Xing.
We’ll talk about the apology later. For now - just bear with the pain for a while.
Xing, who was not on guard against Bronya, was instantly hugged by the Heavy Armored Bunny under Lucia's physical skills, and her body began to be squeezed by the Heavy Armored Bunny.
Even though she has the ability to stop time, now...
——What’s the point of stopping time if you don’t have enough power?
Under the purest violence, Xing, who struggled hard, ended up with a comminuted fracture.
After seeing this scene, Kokolia and Alexei's expressions suddenly changed and they took two steps back.
"Mom Cocolia, I am not your puppet."
Facing Cocolia who seemed to lack fighting power, Bronya spoke calmly.
"I've seen the right path, so I'm sorry, I won't go to your side."
"You—idiot!"
Unlike the impotent and furious Cocolia, Alexi, the dominant puppet who had the same consciousness as the original after "resurrection", asked Bronya with a complicated expression.
"Bronya, why......"
"If what Kokolia said is true, why are you standing on the enemy's side?!"
"Because I know who the real enemy is."
Looking at the father in front of her, Bronya spoke calmly to Alexei.
"The Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, is undoubtedly a villain, but the one who created all these tragedies is the Honkai consciousness, and the one who pushed all of this forward is Otto Apokalis."
"Rather than fighting with the Herrscher of the Void who no longer wants to do evil, I think it is more important to deal with Otto, who is driving all this. That's all."
"Dad, I'm really happy to see you again, but now, I have more important things to do, so..."
At this moment, Bronya, who felt something extra inside her body, turned around and spoke to Alexei behind her without looking back.
"Goodbye, father."
"And...my weakness."
Although she could clearly feel that there was something inside her body that did not belong to her, Bronya felt at this moment that her inner belief had become even stronger.
The Herrscher Core...?
I didn't expect that I actually have such qualifications.
But unlike the situations mentioned by Mei and Yuno, I didn't feel the darkness coming from all directions, trying to tear my body apart.
Ignoring her father's shouts from behind, Bronya felt the power coming from the core of her body, and even felt that the scene in front of her had changed slightly.
In the originally very strange theater, she seemed to see a raging fire burning.
And in the burning fire, a man who looked like the clone of the Ruler of Reason, but with a very peaceful expression, appeared before her.
.......
Almost at the same time, dominating the theater
In the Domination Theater, Himeko Muliangta, who was suddenly teleported here, was also looking around vigilantly.
But unlike Bronya, when she picked up her weapon and prepared to be alert to the enemy, a man she hadn't seen for a long time but missed so much appeared in front of Himeko.
"You are......"
"Long time no see, Himeko."
In front of Himeko, her father Ryuusuke Muromata, who should have been dead, was looking at his daughter, whom he had not seen for a long time, with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect you to be so big now."
Looking at the man in front of her, Ji Zi felt a hint of nostalgia in her heart, but soon, this feeling of nostalgia was completely replaced by uneasiness.
"Bishop Otto, you don't think that you can bewitch me by just making a puppet that looks like my father."
"Otto?"
After Ji Zi mentioned this name, Wuliangta Ryusuke frowned slightly.
"Why do you suddenly mention this man's name?"
Facing the man in front of her, Ji Zi, whose heart was already filled with anger due to various things, raised the weapon in her hand [The Fallen God Sword. Surtel] impatiently.
If Jizi still had some nostalgic feelings when she just met her 'father' whom she hadn't seen for a long time, then now when she suddenly recalled that her father had died, Jizi suddenly felt that the man in front of her began to look hateful.
Although she didn't know what tricks the other party was playing, Otto's current actions were undoubtedly a blasphemy to her longing for her father.
In this situation, if it weren't for the need to continue collecting intelligence, Ji Zi might have already picked up the Divine Meteorite Sword and chopped him down directly.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do this."
After feeling the murderous intent emanating from Ji Zi, Wuliangta Ryusuke took a step back helplessly.
"You must have misunderstood something. I have nothing to do with that short-sighted guy Otto!"
"... Stop pretending."
Ji Zi, who felt like she was about to vomit due to nausea, spoke coldly to Ryusuke Muryota.
"Otto, you said it yourself before. You secretly killed countless colleagues who might have discovered the truth and threatened the existence of Honkai."
"Then I guess my father, who was a high-level talent who could repair the Fourth God Key, died suddenly because of you, right?"
"So I've said it all, I'm not Otto anymore."
Listening to Ji Zi's angry words at this time, Wuliangta Ryusuke's tone gradually became a little lower.
"Besides, is that incompetent old man Otto worthy of killing me?"
Recalling what happened back then, Wuliangta Ryusuke sneered.
"He even thought that he had completely controlled my mind and could see through my inner thoughts, so he gave me the opportunity to leave Destiny and come to Anti-Entropy with the secret key of the Fourth God Key."
"It's just a pity that compared to the incompetent Otto, the First Herrscher Walter Yang is a tough opponent."
Wuliangta Ryusuke recalled what happened in the past and said with a little regret.
"I planned everything, but I didn't expect that the Ruler of Reason could use the power of residents of other civilizations to break the situation."
"If I had been able to seize the core of the Herrscher of Reason, perhaps now... humans wouldn't have to face this despairing situation."
"What did you say......"
Himeko could see that Ryusuke, whom she regarded as a fake, was feeling contempt for Otto, admiration for Walter, and regret for the failure of his plan. These were all the feelings in Fuko's heart.
Now, after putting together what Ryusuke Murata said, Jiko suddenly realized that if the other party did not lie, then she might have made a mistake.
The person who killed her father was not Otto, who was considered a heinous criminal in her eyes, but Walter Young, her mentor whom she once regarded as an idol.
"Ah, you don't know this yet."
After seeing Ji Zi finally reveal a look of surprise, Wuliangta Ryusuke's tone suddenly became much higher.
"When I went to the USA to meet you, Otto let me come to Anti-Entropy's territory. Besides the fact that he was fooled by me, my life was about to end, which was also one of the reasons."
"In order to help Satori repair the Fourth God Key, I have been in contact with Houkai for a long time, and my body has already reached its limit. Otto, who believed that 'Ryusuke Muliangta was about to die', was careless at that time."
After saying these things with a hint of nostalgia, Ryusuke's face suddenly showed a bit of resentment.
"Otto was obsessed with the Artificial Law Project at the time and completely ignored the Ark Project I proposed."
"But after studying the data, I found that the technology of the previous civilization was more advanced than ours, and they also created weapons that are more powerful than ours. The thirteen divine keys are the best proof of this."
"However, even such a pre-civilization lost to the collapse, so in order to continue the future of mankind, we should have implemented the Ark Project!"
