And this, naturally, depends on the Herrscher father at home personally taking action!
Chapter 196 Bronya is the real Bronya!
Having undergone the Paradise Worldview Training Course and the Three Families Correction Fist, Bronya is now quite upright and gladly accepts the heavy responsibility she bears.
Originally, her main motivation was to rescue Seele.
Now, Seele doesn't need her help anymore; she's come out on her own... Although she feels something's slightly off about this Seele and feels a little disappointed—in Bronya's original plan, she should have perfected her skills in making rice cakes in Paradise before rushing into the Sea of Quanta to rescue Seele from danger as a damsel in distress, and then basking in Seele's admiring gaze. That's how the script should have gone!
However, his Taixu Sword Qi is not yet fully developed.
After being tortured by both the silly goose and the thousand calamities, Duck has become more cautious now—but being able to sense Seele's gaze, she still made a decision quickly.
How could I possibly back down in front of Seele?
Even if this Seele is a bit strange and may not be the Seele she knows, even just for the sake of calling her "Bronya, my sister," Duck feels that she has the need and the ability to defend her pride as the older sister.
Besides, after the training in the Paradise of Past Lives, I, Duck Duck, have become much stronger.
Even if she still might not be able to beat that goose and that violent maniac in Paradise, Bronya felt confident that as long as she didn't run into those two, she could walk sideways without any problems, feeling the power within her body.
In other words, there are only these two that I can't beat! The violent maniac definitely can't leave Paradise, and as for the goose... although it's relatively close to the Schicksal headquarters, according to the information Bronya learned from the Anti-Entropy duo, that Saint Goose spends almost 360 days a year flying around the world dealing with the Great Honkai.
The British Isles haven't experienced a major collapse, so how could Saint Goose possibly have time to go there?
Thinking of this, Bronya, who was already on a small transport ship bound for Europe, felt a sense of relief.
"Seele, you didn't need to come with Bronya."
At her own request, Seele also participated in this operation, which made Bronya look at Seele sitting on the other side of the transport ship with some helplessness.
"Although there shouldn't be any danger, if something happens, Bronya might not be able to protect you in time."
Regardless of whether the Seele in front of her was the Seele she knew, Bronya still felt a similar connection to Seele because of her appearance and her own emotions.
(Hmph! Does Seele need your protection, you Putian version of an older sister?)
The dark side of Seele, hidden deep inside, was quite dissatisfied—what did she mean by not having enough time to protect her?
Can't Seele protect herself? Even if Seele can't protect herself, doesn't she still have me?
Stop looking down on me, you 'high-quality fake older sister'!
If it were the real older sister from before, she definitely wouldn't have said something like that!
That being said, the reason they came along was actually because they were worried about them.
If it were the powerful "real Bronya" from before, Seele might only feel a little reluctant. But with this "knock-off" in front of her... you weakling substitute, don't think that just because you're pretending to be like your older sister, you can do the same things as the real one!
The Entropy Reversal, located in North America, is not that far from the British Isles, and during this time, Bronya couldn't help but chat with Seele.
The past events, though vaguely visible, confirmed Bronya's correctness in her heart, and also allowed her to understand, through a few words, how Seele escaped the Sea of Quanta.
Jiang Qiao...it's that guy! Bronya's face was blank, but her anger was rising sharply—Oh, so it was you! I was wondering why things had turned out like this. It turns out it was you, you bad guy, who took advantage of Bronya's inattention and drove away with her body.
Not only did they drive away, but they even went so far as to use Bronya's body to rescue Seele!
He, however, remained oblivious to the truth, diligently honing his skills in the paradise, hoping one day to return and save Seele.
She was furious, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she seemed to have already talked to that bad guy, and Jiang Qiao had indeed promised to help her bring Xier back. It was just that she later gained power and a path, and wanted to try her best to show off in front of Xier.
Damn it, couldn't you have just told Bronya? That way Bronya wouldn't have to work so hard in Paradise!
Thinking of her life of arduous cultivation of the Void Sword Qi in the Paradise, Duck felt a pang of sorrow—if only she had used that time to play games... cough cough, to study game development, how much more advanced she could have become!
Of course—what made Bronya grit her teeth wasn't just that the bad guy had secretly rescued Seele without her knowledge, but more importantly—judging from Seele's words, that bad guy seemed to have done what he wanted to do!
Even with subtle hints, Bronya could imagine a 'handsome Bronya' descending from the sky—that's all my job!
Bronya was so angry that she almost broke her plasmosphere. She wanted to expose the bad guy on the spot, but she stopped herself.
Should I tell Seele that the handsome Bronya who saved you before wasn't actually Bronya, and that the current Bronya is the real Bronya?
If you really say that, wouldn't that be admitting that you're inferior to that wicked Jiang Qiao?
No way! Absolutely not! How could the arrogant and domineering Broodmother, who reigns supreme online, admit to being inferior to that imposter Jiang Qiao when it comes to 'Bronya'?
Bronya, with her strong sense of pride, couldn't accept this and could only reluctantly give up on exposing Jiang Qiao's ugly face—yes, the handsome Bronya from before was Bronya!
Although I was very unwilling, I could enjoy Seele's sparkling gaze. Even though I knew it wasn't my doing, I could still feel a sense of vanity and satisfaction. Besides, that bad guy Jiang Qiao used Bronya's body. So, rounding up, I wasn't wrong about Bronya! It really was Bronya!
Hmm! Let this wonderful misunderstanding continue! Consider it payment from that scoundrel who took it without my consent.
However, although she felt rather guilty for taking the credit for 'Bronya's' achievement, the thought that although the 'first time' was hers, the experience of the 'first time' was not hers, but that bad guy Jiang Qiao's, still made Bronya angry—and she started to make new plans.
Well, I'll accept this benefit, but we still need to settle this score!
Bronya had already planned it out—she would use her actions to show what the real Bronya was by making 'Bronya great again!' She believed that with Seele's keen perception, she would eventually realize that 'the duck is not the duck,' and that she herself was the 'best duck.'
In this way, even without exposing Jiang Qiao's despicable behavior, the purpose of exposing her can still be achieved—Hmph, Bronya is simply a genius!
Bronya, thinking about this, felt proud of herself for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
To achieve this goal—well, Bronya believes that in terms of the authenticity of 'Bronya,' she is definitely superior to that wicked Jiang Qiao, and what remains is strength—that is, Herrscher authority.
This power inherited from Mr. Walter, you Jiang Qiao can use it, and so can I, Bronya!
After being rigorously trained by Le Tu—even if he still can't beat Dai E or Le Tu, that violent maniac, catching up with Jiang Qiao shouldn't be too difficult, right?
They hadn't fully witnessed Jiang Qiao's abilities and thus had a flawed understanding of her strength—or rather, even if she really was very powerful using someone else's body.
But for this [Bronya] body—after training, I'm definitely still the better one! After all, this is Bronya's own body, and Bronya is the owner of this body.
How could a master possibly lose to a temporary controller? ...Well, that's certainly not the case now!
Gently touching her 'promising future' chest, she could feel the Herrscher core flowing freely within—a slight smile curved the corners of the silver-haired girl's lips.
Having refined her mind with the Void Sword Qi and studied the manipulation of Honkai energy, she has already entered the stage where she completes her future Valkyrie training and passes the initial Herrscher of Reason trial. In other words, Bronya can now fully unleash the true power of the Herrscher of Reason.
This power is impeccable, this power is genuine, this... is the true Lawrence of Reason!
Just as the duck was becoming complacent about its strength—
British Isles
"Dr. Maki, please come back with us."
Rita, dressed in casual clothes, calmly advised the white-haired old man holding a jar-like object not far away, "How can we do this? Rita still hopes to avoid doing anything to an elderly person like the Doctor."
"impossible!"
Dr. Maki was panting, but his face was resolute. "I will absolutely not let this Herrscher core fall into Schicksal's hands again!"
He was originally a cold-blooded and ruthless scientist—just as Otto had mocked him. In the past, Maki, as the host of the 'Herrscher Experiment,' was even more eager and enthusiastic than Otto, the one who needed it. One innocent Valkyrie after another was pushed onto the operating table and culture chamber by his own hands, and one young and vibrant life after another disappeared in his eyes.
Even though the piercing screams of the girls were so unbearable that many of the lab's assistants chose to leave, Maki remained calm and even strongly demanded more experimental subjects from Otto, like a... demon.
This situation continued until his own granddaughter was sent to the operating table by his own hands.
Maki watched helplessly as his granddaughter, Lin, a Valkyrie of the Destiny, smiled and said to him, "Grandpa, from today onwards, I will become a Valkyrie. I will also strive to protect humanity, just like you."
That kind and lovely child, in the end, cried out in despair: "It hurts... Help me... Grandpa..."
He could only watch helplessly as his granddaughter turned to ashes under the power of the Tranquil Gem, powerless to do anything about it.
From that moment on, Maki was completely overwhelmed by the crimes he had committed in the past.
In order to prevent the Tranquility Gem from continuing to harm those young girls, under the contact and suggestion of a certain force, one day, he took advantage of his position as the head of the Third Laboratory of Destiny and fled Destiny with the Tranquility Gem, and was pursued all the way to the British Isles.
"In that case, please forgive Rita for her rudeness."
Looking at the old man in front of her, Rita sighed.
Because of her special role, Rita had heard about Dr. Maki—but to be honest, she had always been wary of him. After all, although she played the role of Otto's white glove, she was actually a good person who admired goodness and couldn't feel any affection for a character who harmed his colleagues.
The task of hunting down Dr. Maki shouldn't have been her responsibility. She was sent to the British Isles by the bishop to search for the Second Key of God, but she was forced to take action because Maki happened to have escaped to the British Isles.
Although her past battle record has been somewhat dismal, Rita is still an S-class Valkyrie, and a special type that specializes in attacking people. Dealing with an ordinary, even elderly, man like Maki is no problem at all.
Rita raised her hand to knock him unconscious, but the next moment, sensing danger, she quickly dodged backward and swung her scythe, sending sparks flying. Looking up, she saw a mechanical skull face holding an umbrella, the gun in its hand still warm from the heat.
"Raven, she's in your care."
After the hoarse voice came a languid, helpless female voice:
"I know, I know."
"Don't go!" He tried to stop them, but was stopped by several raven feathers. He could only watch helplessly as Gray Serpent, a member of the World Serpent, took Maki away, leaving behind only the hooded Raven.
"What are you doing here?!" Rita raised an eyebrow at the raven blocking her way, to which the raven waved its hand helplessly: "Look at what you're saying, I'm a high-ranking member of the World Serpent, isn't it normal for me to be here?"
While the paid leave was quite interesting, it was impossible for a World Serpent executive to stay in Paradise forever. After 'Alicia' was possibly sent to Paradise, Miss Dodo, who no longer needed to accompany the 'Prince's Study,' was naturally reassigned by the World Serpent, which was short-staffed.
"Alright, alright, stop fighting. You know our situation. Fighting won't get us anywhere."
"Not always."
"Tch..." Dodo Bird curled his lip as he watched Rita showing off her scythe and armor. If his Seven Thunders of Purification hadn't been kidnapped, would he have ended up being so arrogant in front of him?
Although the conversation wasn't very friendly, Rita seemed to agree with the Dodo's opinion and had no desire to continue fighting.
—If the fighting continues, what they'll be showing off won't be armor and scythes, but refrigerators.
