Chapter 595 You, Traitor!!!

There was something in the void - even though she couldn't see anything, Bronya got such feedback.

"What's wrong? Don't you continue to complete your mission?"

"Sister Bronya...Senior Bronya, I..."

The second hand ticks forward, carrying the time that cannot be turned back.

The air trembled.

Deep breathing and sighs sounded together, Bronya narrowed her eyes, and her fingers, who were supposed to be the victim, moved slightly. As the button was pressed with a click, a dazzling blue light shone overhead and enveloped everything.

Under the sudden, awkwardly angled light source, a figure quickly twisted out of the empty air, especially the white bandage on the arm that was particularly conspicuous.

Of course, this is only temporary. If she really possesses the power of the Fourth Herrscher, the other party will naturally instinctively enter the state of optical invisibility again... But this also means that she will give up [contacting] Bronya at that moment. task.

The gap between this may be less than a second, but facing a Herrscher, especially the Herrscher of Reason who has the most possibilities, it is undoubtedly a fatal mistake.

Bronya's pupils instantly turned into blue gear-shaped crosshairs. The crosshairs were accurately selected, locked, and turned into dangerous red.

The next moment, Bronya covered her ears, and ultra-high-frequency sound waves swept through the closed dormitory. In the dead silence, everything was trembling, even the air.

"Ahhhhhhh-"

When the enemy, or the Herrscher's existence, belatedly tried to cover his ears, it was already too late.

A striking bright red color was pulled out of the air. The two red colors flowed down in the direction of gravity, and soon formed a thin face.

"Just go ahead and capture him. You have no way out."

The sound waves still sway in the small space at a frequency that the human ear cannot catch, and silently destroy the important organs in the human body. Bronya used Honkai energy to form a barrier, isolating the sound waves and Guinevere's screams, but she suddenly remembered that if this was the case, the other party wouldn't be able to hear what she said.

No……

The dim blue light reflected the metal floor like smooth moon rocks, but a drop, two, or three drops of scarlet blood ruined it all. I'm afraid Guinevere couldn't hear those words.

Thinking like this, the ultra-high-frequency sound waves and the barrier condensed by Honkai Energy dissipated almost at the same time.

The light and shadow in the air distorted again, and the familiar figure was revealed again. Her hands covered with blood dropped, and her whole body fell to her knees weakly - this was undoubtedly a test. Logically speaking, the guy who holds the power of the Fourth Herrscher should have control over all fluids. The so-called sound waves are just high-frequency vibrations of the air. If the real Fourth Herrscher was here, he would not be hurt at all.

so……

"Is he really the so-called Herrscher of Dominance?"

Bronya walked off the bed and stood in front of the figure lying on the ground vomiting blood without any scruples.

Although she did not dare to claim to have fully mastered the power of the Herrscher of Reason, she didn't know what to fear from the Herrscher opposite her, whose Honkai energy reaction level was less than 10HW.

But the problem is that the current situation can no longer be solved without fear.

"I'm sorry, Bronya really... doesn't want it to be you. Xi'er doesn't want it to be you. Jizi doesn't want it to be you. If Kiana is still here, she definitely doesn't want it to be you either... "

Slowly squatting down and wiping the remaining blood clots on the corner of the girl's mouth, Bronya half-held her in her arms.

She didn't know if the girl could hear her at this moment. But she still wants to make a final effort in her own way——

"Look back. Bronya is a Herrscher who fights for mankind, and Kiana is also a Herrscher who fights for mankind. You can be one as long as you want. So far, everyone can still forgive you."

Biting her lower lip tightly, Bronya still had the same expression and dull eyes that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. Only in this way, it seemed that only in this way could she suppress the feeling in her heart...

Grieving?

It doesn’t seem to be very sad…

She wasn't even surprised, because... everything that happened at this moment had been reduced to what was destined to happen a few hours ago——

"Bronya Zaicek, can we trust you?"

In the empty interrogation room, opposite Bronya, were two familiar figures.

Su, who was squinting her blood-red eyes, and Mei, who was looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Perhaps Bronya should say this...forget it, Bronya will do whatever a [Herrscher who fights for humanity] should do."

"That's your answer, Bronya."

This was supposed to be a question, but for reasons that Bronya couldn't understand yet, Mei said it in a statement tone.

However, she doesn't need to understand, she just needs to respond.

"Yes."

"Then, what if your enemy is a former friend?"

An ominous premonition slipped through her heart, and the only few familiar faces appeared in her mind, "Who is it?" - as a human instinct, she was driven to ask this question. However, she just pursed her lips and replied:

“What do you need Bronya to do?”

The two people opposite were silent for a moment, and Bronya added:

"Bronya was once a mercenary. It is common for a comrade who was on your back in the last battle to become an enemy in the next battle. In addition, although Bronya is very young, don't underestimate Bronya's reasons."

The tone was calm and the eyes were indifferent, but only Bronya knew the tension in her heart.

Who is it?

Although she made big talk, she was actually quite clear that the "friends" in Mei's mouth must not be those mercenaries who used each other in the Siberian snowfield.

In addition, she was no longer completely herself.

The two people opposite turned their heads and looked at each other, and then nodded together.

"What you need to do is quite simple, Bronya. The disappearance of Kiana and Wendy means that the enemy's target is most likely a Herrscher. And Bronya, you are the only Herrscher in the base right now."

"So, you need me as bait?"

"That's right, but compared to fishing aimlessly, we already have a suspect."

"..."

Bronya didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

"...Of course, we only need you to deal with one of them. In fact, if it's you, the chance of her taking the bait should be quite high."

"So, who is it?"

"Guinevere."

"I understand."

The girl sighed from the bottom of her heart, but for some reason, she felt relieved again.

She knew very well what this relief meant - she was happy that the "enemy" was not Seele or Himeko.

So, even she herself felt that Guinevere, who she had only known for more than half a year, was indeed an object that she could abandon in her heart?

Holding this girl who was still vomiting blood, the question from a few hours ago came to her mind again. However, Bronya still couldn't give an answer.

"Hehe... Hehe..."

As if she saw through her thoughts, Guinevere raised her hand and smeared the blood on Bronya's cheek.

"Senior Bronya must be very disappointed in me. But, will Senior Bronya feel sad because I am the one who fell into the Herrscher?"

When their eyes met, Bronya could feel the expectation in the girl's eyes.

What was she expecting?

After thinking for less than 0.1 seconds, Bronya understood.

Guinevere was expecting her tears.

This Herrscher, once named Guinevere Alighieri Fernan Cavaliero Cerre, was expecting her tears of sadness and regret.

But there was no. But there was no. But there was no.

Bronya didn't cry.

There was no reason to explain. There was sadness and sorrow, but she just couldn't cry.

Why?

Bronya also wanted to know the answer.

But before knowing the answer, she had to end everything in front of her.

"Sure enough, Senior Bronya didn't cry, nor was she sad for me. I am dispensable in everyone's eyes, even in Senior Bronya's eyes."

"No, it's not like that."

Bronya quickly denied it, her voice trembling, and her eyes finally felt a little sour, but even so, the tears did not come as promised.

So, she could only repeat the previous words dryly:

"Guinevere, you repent..."

"Repent? Hahahaha... What should I repent? Hahahahaha... What do I have to repent?"

Even though she was severely injured by the sound wave, the girl seemed to still be able to hear the sound. She trembled and raised her bandaged hand, grabbed the broken glasses, and threw them aside.

"Snap——"

The broken pieces of glasses were like splashing water droplets, drawing a straight white line in the dim light and shadow, and also drawing a line between right and wrong, justice and evil, light and darkness, and everything real and false.

"Senior Bronya, you want me to repent, then tell me, what have I done wrong since you met me?"

"..."

The girl showed a miserable smile, blood kept flowing out from her teeth, but her voice was choked:

"I joined the Anti-Entropy Mecha Corps because I wanted to contribute my strength to defeating Honkai. But I have no talent, no talent at all. When I was in the recruit company, I always made mistakes and dragged down the entire team. The instructor didn't like me, my comrades thought I was a drag, and I was always punished by me. This was indeed my fault, so they scolded me, beat me, bullied me, and tried every means to make me quit, and I accepted it. But what happened next?

"In the first battle after graduating from the recruit company, we faced not Honkai beasts, but the destiny of being human beings. In that battle, only 17 of the more than 300 recruits who received training with me survived. I was scared to death, not only afraid of death, but also afraid that I would hold the ideal of defeating Honkai, but die in the hands of humans in the end.

"But those who bullied me were more scared than me. They all hid in the hospital to avoid combat missions. Some even cut off their calves with unsharpened bayonets and blinded their eyes with bullets to avoid combat. So I suddenly realized that those who bullied me were nothing special. Even if they performed better than me in training, I firmly believed that I was braver than them, so I...

"Senior Bronya, in fact, half a year ago, I didn't understand what Kiana meant to humans, and I still don't understand it now. The reason why I chose to join the battle was simply because I wanted to prove that I was braver than those who bullied me, at least I was braver than them. Even if I can't do anything, at least I'm braver than them... It's probably such a naive idea... And such a genius Senior Bronya must not be able to understand this feeling.

"Senior Bronya, you can see what happened next. I also want to become stronger, but I am no longer the same as you...Senior Bronya, Senior Seele and Senior Kiana only trained to save humans with stronger power, but I am no longer the same. I just want someone to praise me. It shouldn't have been like this, but I don't know when it started, and suddenly I felt that saving humans and defeating Honkai were simply... stupid.

"I just want to be praised, I just want to be complimented, I thought this was something that could be easily obtained. After all, I am indeed making continuous progress. From the beginning, I could only follow your rhythm to exercise for five minutes, and now I can barely complete a whole set of exercises in the second gear mode. However, except for Bronya-senpai, Seele-senpai, Kiana-senpai and Himeko-senpai, no one has ever praised me.

"In fact, I really hate exercise. I hate it so much that I will suffer from insomnia when I think about it before going to bed, and I will vomit when I think about it before eating. But just to be praised, to be praised by those who have bullied me, I am willing to force myself to do these things. I don't understand why no one is willing to praise me? Even if they don't want to praise me, why do they always bully me? Why am I always a bad kid in their mouths... Sister Bronya, why do you think so? "

Bronya was completely speechless.

Once upon a time, there was also a girl who threw herself into her arms, crying and timidly asking her, "Why does Xing always bully me..."

At that time, she couldn't give any answer, and could only instinctively hug Seele.

She thought she had grown a lot in the past few years, but when Guinevere asked her why, she still couldn't give a decent answer.

What should I say?

She was still hesitating in her heart, but her lips moved consciously:

"Don't say that, Guinevere. Didn't someone write you a love letter before? You see, there are still people who recognize you..."

"He asked me to meet in the letter, and I went."

"?"

"I was very happy that night. We drank in the dormitory, and I thought he was the first person of the opposite sex who recognized me, so... he asked me for it, and I gave it to him. But when I woke up the next morning, I couldn't find him, and his contact information was blocked. He didn't even say hello to me when I met him on the street. "

"Wait, what are you talking about? Why doesn't Bronya understand..."

"Hehe. Sister Bronya also doesn't understand something."

Bronya's eyes flashed. Although she really didn't have that kind of experience, she had done things like pretending to be a young prostitute to hunt down targets when necessary. only……

"...Why don't you tell us?"

"Sister Bronya really cares about me. But what's the use of telling you this kind of thing? Help me beat him up - I have already done this myself. Or tell Lady Theresa Or let the two doctors punish that man? Then everyone's opinion of me will probably be worse."

"Bang!"

He punched the ground hard, as if this was the only way to vent the anger that had nowhere to go. But that's all Bronya could do.

"I know, Sister Bronya must want to say, maybe I just happened to hear other people's accusations, maybe I just happened to meet some evil people, but there must be people who think I did a good job in places I didn't pay attention to. There must be someone who will [love] me well.

"But there's nothing I can do. My luck is just so bad. It's always been so bad. I'm actually British. There's actually an anti-entropy boot camp there. I just wanted to join the headquarters, so I came all the way to America. If not, I wouldn't have participated in that blocking battle against Destiny, right? And the time I was injured later, there were hundreds of people on the bridge, but I was the only one so unlucky. And this time, none of you were injured, only I was hit by a stray bullet...

"Sister Bronya, Guinevere is such a stupid person with extremely bad luck. It's not that Guinevere only sees darkness, but that Guinevere only encounters darkness. That's all."

Bronya's cheeks trembled slightly, and she took a deep breath, her eyes gradually coldened:

"Bronya sympathizes with you, but why do you want to involve Kiana and Wendy? Why do you want to involve them! Kiana has faced no less darkness than you, or do you just want to drag others into the same darkness because you have experienced darkness yourself? At this point, Bronya couldn't tell right from wrong, but this was the only thing that made her firmly believe that this was definitely not the right thing to do! "

"Hehehe... Sister Bronya, your vision is really too narrow. I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to make the world a better place."

"?"

Bronya's facial features instantly twisted——

"What a joke! Not only Kiana and Wendy, but you also did the mecha accident in Salt Lake City before! More than 30 lives, hundreds of people injured, is this the beauty in your eyes! Answer Bronya, Guinevere!!!"

"Of course it's not beautiful."

Guinevere's answer was unexpectedly straightforward.

In Bronya's puzzled eyes, she raised her arm and tore off the bandage.

"Hiss——"

White mist rose, not only the scratches caused by the original stray bullet, but also the heavy damage caused by the high-frequency sound waves a moment ago, were all healed in an instant.

"It's just the necessary path to beauty."

"What's this..."

"Sure enough, Sister Bronya, who bears the power of betraying God, will not understand our great cause."

The golden lightning snake wrapped around Guinevere, but Bronya, who was holding her tightly, did not feel the slightest numbness.

On the contrary, she seemed to be too awake.

Many fragments of memory were linked together, [we], [we], could it be...

"Bronya, get out of the way!"

The body instinctively leaned back at the familiar shout, and the shattered door did not hinder the golden chain that shot over at all. The cone of the chain directly pierced Guinevere's wrists and ankles.

"Ahhh!!!!"

Amid the screams, a golden cross flew into the room, the bottom of the cross deeply inserted into the floor, and in contrast, the golden chain quickly contracted and tied Guinevere to the cross.

"Principal!"

At the door of the broken dormitory, the white-haired dwarf holding the golden chain poked his head out.

"Bronya, are you okay?"

"Bronya is fine, but..."

"The Tenth Herrscher individual, captured successfully."

After confirming that Bronya was not injured, Theresa interrupted her with cold words.

"It seems that she not only controls the power of the Fourth Herrscher, but also obtains the power of the Serenity Gem. The wound heals very quickly."

Bronya clenched her fists, but had nothing to say.

Guinevere's screams gradually became lower and lower until they were barely perceptible.

But soon, that creepy laugh sounded again——

"Hahahaha...hahahahahahahaha...I'm so sorry, Senior Bronya. For that beautiful future, I can't stop here."

After a brief eye contact, Bronya's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Praise the God who created the world. From now until forever, the heavens are created by the words in your mouth, and all things are created by the breath in your mouth. You drip the oil of decree on our way forward to prevent us from getting lost."

Words similar to prayers, but this is not a prayer at all.

Guinevere struggled and shouted frantically, pulling the chain to make a crisp and fine sound like a wind chime.

As if responding to her, the golden lightning flashed again.

"What's going on? The power of restraint doesn't work? No, no, this is..."

The gold chain that bound the weakest Herrscher that Theresa had ever faced trembled violently, almost shaking Theresa's hands apart.

"Bronya, the capture operation failed, kill her quickly!"

[Kill her! ]

A voice in her heart overlapped with Theresa's shouting, and the gears in Bronya's pupils spun rapidly, but the crosshairs gradually blurred.

Why...

Why hesitate? This shouldn't be... This shouldn't be the mistake that the Siberian Silver Wolf would make...

Once again, Bronya saw such a meaning in Guinevere's slightly meaningful eyes.

But just like most of the questions that popped up in her mind today, she couldn't give an answer at all.

"Thank you, dear God. We are grateful to you. Thank you for choosing us from the vast sea of ​​people. Thank you for loving us without giving up. It is you who forgave our sins and showed us the only way to reach the good. So, omniscient and omnipotent God, please appear in this world! Save the apostles who run for you, punish the traitors who have deviated from your teachings, and wipe out the filth of this world——"

"Woo——Woo——Woo——"

The shrill alarm sounded three times, and the golden lightning swallowed everything in sight in an instant.

Bronya seemed to have expected it and closed her eyes a moment in advance. Even through a layer of eyelids, she could feel the dazzling light.

When the pressing golden light dissipated, she opened her eyes immediately, and there was already a figure next to the cross.

A figure that she was not unfamiliar with, and did not surprise her.

"Kruger... or rather - Mikael!!!"

The man ignored him and waved his hand gently, and the chains that bound Guinevere were dissolved in the golden light.

"God..."

Guinevere slid off the cross with a pious murmur.

Mikael caught him with one hand, and kicked the cross away, and flew directly to a place where Bronya could not see him, along with Theresa who had not yet reacted.

Stepping on the golden light, Mikael held Guinevere in his arms, but was approaching Bronya step by step.

Every step forward, he found a piece of [himself].

When he took the first step, the long black hair over his shoulders grew into a silver-gray color like Bronya in the blink of an eye.

In the second step, all the stubble on his face disappeared, and his expression became no longer so vicissitudes of life, but it was still the same indifference. It was only at this moment that Bronya discovered that his facial features had almost not changed, but only changed. The color of his eyes, hair, and slight haggardness made him unrecognizable.

On the third step, the green eyes turned back to moonlight silver, and only the pair of pink pupils were so weird.

In the fourth and final step, his skin became as white as salt, like a dead person in the morgue. Correspondingly, the pink pupils expanded outward and turned into blood-red crosses.

"First Herrscher, as long as you come with me now, everything will be over."

[Can’t move...]

Get moving! Get moving! ! Get moving! ! !

Can't move! Can't move! ! Can't move! ! !

Not even the fingers could be controlled. From beginning to end, only the pupils were vibrating, and I couldn't even feel my breathing.

She could only watch as the moonlight-like arm stretched towards herself, wrapped in golden lightning.

"boom--"

The flames were raging - just when the hands were about to touch her, a flaming sword swept over from the side, as if it didn't care whether she would be injured at all.

The bet was right. Mikael turned his wrist upside down and took the sword forcefully with his palm.

"Mikael!!!"

When the flames that obscured her vision dissipated, Bronya felt hot and itchy all over, but the battlefield seemed a little far away from her.

The broken walls are like windows of eternal circulation. In this window, the white-haired warrior holding the flame itself is raising the sword above his head again and again, and then smashing it down with no skill but emotion.

However, the flames did not hurt Michael and Guinevere at all - an invisible barrier seemed to have sealed the hearts of tens of billions of reincarnations, blocking everything.

Mikael passed the first window, still approaching her.

Bronya wanted to get up. She raised her upper body with her hands, but she couldn't feel her legs.

[Power of Reason—Structure]

No response.

The core is still in the body, and one can even still feel the Honkai energy contained in it, which is at least enough to destroy the entire Salt Lake City base. But when it comes to power, that part ceases to exist, just like the legs.

Suddenly there was a chill behind him, like a body of sea water hugging him, and the itchy and hot pain all over his body was slowly dissipating.

"Sister Bronya!"

"Xie'er..."

Before Bronya had time to look back at the girl, suddenly, her eyes darkened, and another flash of fiery red stood in front of her.

The flames condensed into the wings of the red kite behind the girl who didn't look much stronger than her, and the flames shot out quickly spread into countless fist shadows in the air.

"Click——"

Something seemed to be broken. Something seemed to have cracked.

It's just this moment.

The next moment, there seemed to be an extra layer of glass in the air, with colorful lights reflecting on the glass.

"No one can stop me today, but as long as Bronya comes with me, nothing will happen."

There seemed to be such a cold voice, and then the colorful [window] pressed over unstoppably like a running chariot.

"Let's go!"

It was probably the squad leader and Xi'er who set up a fight for him, and Mikael, who had scarlet eyes, just watched coldly after seeing that there was no hope of taking her away.

"A useless struggle."

The next moment, golden thunder and lightning burst out from his body. The thunder and lightning went upstream, directly breaking through the armor of the Salt Lake City base and reaching the dark clouds in the sky.

"Moo————"

The shrill siren, the tinny thunder, and the roar of inhuman things took away the world that belonged to both ears.

What his only remaining eyes could see was a ridge rising slowly in the light of lightning.

Then, a giant thousands of meters high stood up.

"boom--"

The giant trampled the ground, and in the blink of an eye the sky fell and the earth overturned. The earth screamed and the smoke and dust that rose up took away everything that could be seen with the eyes.

"I brought the war you wanted. But it seems that you are not worthy of being my enemy at all."

At the end of my memory, I seemed to hear such a voice.

Bronya suddenly woke up - this was a response to humanity's declaration of war half a year ago.

It’s half a year late, but a powerful enough response.

But even more——

"You traitor!!!"

It seemed that Bronya was not the only one who tried her best to shout these words with a suppressed cry. (End of chapter)
