What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

The video features a woman with blonde curly hair wearing a military overcoat; she is Cocolia, the current garrison commander of Sea Abyss City.

In ten minutes, Einstein informed Cocolia of his upcoming visit to Abyss City and explained his plans.

Cocolia frowned deeply after hearing this. She had to admit that the other party's move of acting first and informing her later had indeed caught her off guard.

In the past, Cocolia would have not only stopped listening, but might have even flipped the table and started a fight on the spot.

You sneaked in on my territory with people from St. Freya. To put it nicely, this is called a visit, but anyone who didn't know better would think it was a rebellion.

However, this matter was of great importance, concerning the safety of the world, not to mention that it also involved their own leader and Seele. Therefore, no matter how disrespectful Cocolia was, she had no choice but to agree to Einstein's request.

Cocolia would fully cooperate as long as the Hyperion came to Abyss City; this was her promise.

For once, Cocolia put aside her mischievous intentions, and the two sides reached a long-awaited consensus.

So after receiving the reply, Theresa and Einstein immediately spread the word, telling everyone to get ready to depart that very night.

............................

Time soon came to night.

The wind was strong that night, and faint rumbles of thunder echoed in the sky, like the calm before the storm. And so, the group boarded the Hyperion and set sail...

Chapter 218 Arrival at Haiyuan City

After traveling all night, at the crack of dawn the next day, Theresa and her party finally arrived in the airspace above the Mariana Trench.

Looking out at the boundless sea, its shimmering waves under the sunlight are exceptionally beautiful.

Who would have thought that deep within this ocean lies an ancient ruin dating back over 50,000 years?

Similarly, everyone in the Hyperion was quite excited when they actually came into contact with it.

What is Haiyuan City really like?

But they will be able to see each other soon.

Because on the sea, Cocolia's submarine, which had been sent up to greet everyone, had been waiting for a long time.

"I see, I see. We're going to go down in a submarine, right?"

Kiana said excitedly as she looked at the image projected onto the screen.

"Yes, Cocolia sent someone specifically to pick us up."

Einstein nodded, then called Cocolia and signaled for her to prepare for the handover.

Immediately, everyone on the Hyperion busied themselves again, preparing for the upcoming operation in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

First, the more than two hundred Titan mechs, under Tesla's control, jumped off the deck of the Hyperion one by one and then plunged into the sea.

Once the designated target route was set, the Titan mech began to automatically cruise around the location of Abyss City and take action.

Next came Kiana, Theresa, and Einstein. After equipping themselves with the new Valkyrie armor and weapons, they boarded the submarine that Cocolia had come to greet them via the elevator.

With the engine running, the submarine carrying everyone plunged into the deep sea at an extremely high speed.

Compared to my previous trip to the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, the scenery there was much more beautiful, and the variety of fish was also much richer.

The various types of reefs and some shipwrecks quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they all began to examine them.

"Mei, Mei, do you think there might be treasure in those shipwrecks?"

With her eyes shining, Kiana, who had watched too many pirate movies, tugged at Mei's sleeve and asked curiously.

"Probably not, and even if there were, Cocolia would probably have taken them all."

"Ah... okay, that's certainly possible."

Kiana was visibly disappointed after receiving the answer, and immediately gave up on the idea of ​​finding the treasure.

........

“Cocolia’s mother, Seele…”

Standing at the hatch, looking at the approaching Sea Abyss City, Bronya felt a mix of emotions.

Because she was about to meet both Cocolia and Seele, she was still unsure how to face them; to put it bluntly, she was not used to it.

At this moment, Himeko, who had been looking around, noticed Bronya's unusual behavior and came over to ask with concern, "What's wrong, Bronya? Is something on your mind?"

"Well, I guess so, but it's okay."

Bronya nodded first, then shook her head, and said in a very complicated tone.

However, judging from Bronya's expression, Himeko had probably guessed something. Since Bronya didn't want to say it, she didn't intend to point it out.

Himeko reached out and gently patted Bronya's head, saying softly, "Don't worry, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will always stand with you. Seele will definitely be safe and sound."

"That's right, that's right, stop looking so gloomy."

"Yes, Bronya, everyone will help you if anything happens."

Noticing the commotion, Kiana and Mei quickly stopped what they were doing and came over. Seeing Bronya looking preoccupied, the two hurriedly offered their comfort.

Bronya felt a warm feeling in her heart. Under everyone's gaze, she put two index fingers to the corners of her mouth and pulled them up to reveal a stiff smile.

Such a funny action naturally put everyone at ease. Fortunately, Bronya didn't think too much about it and immediately went to take some landscape photos with Kiana and Mei.

..............

Time passed by, and soon, guided by the navigation system, the submarine finally arrived directly above Haiyuan City.

"Look! That must be Haiyuan City up ahead! It's so beautiful!!!"

Kiana, who was posing for a photo in front of the large French windows, suddenly noticed something had entered her shot.

Curious, Kiana turned around and saw a magnificent city that resembled Atlantis. Overwhelmed with excitement, she shouted out.

Everyone was surprised by Kiana's actions and rushed over.

After witnessing the beautiful scenery before them, the group began to appreciate the ancient ruins of Haiyuan City, a city from a pre-civilization era.

Millennia of silence have allowed this ruin to blend seamlessly with the sea. Countless reefs and corals adorn it, and its highly technological style gives Sea Abyss City a unique aesthetic.

"It's hard to imagine what the pre-civilization Mu Continent must have looked like in its heyday."

"What a pity, it was destroyed by the Herrscher just like that."

Looking at the Sea Abyss City before her, Theresa sighed and then murmured something.

"Yes, this is a huge loss for humanity."

Einstein, standing nearby, couldn't help but chime in.

............

Soon, a short while later, the submarine landed in Haiyuan City, and everyone was able to set foot on this land as they had wished.

To everyone's surprise, Cocolia did not come out to greet them. Instead, they saw two children who were about the same age as Bronya and had horns and tails.

Who are these two children?

Theresa was somewhat surprised to see this.

"Lilia? Rosalia?"

Bronya, on the other hand, was different. As a member of the Cocolia Orphanage, she naturally recognized the people in front of her. However, the horns and tails on the two of them, which were clearly like those of Honkai Beasts, still shocked her greatly.

"It's Bronya!" ×2

Bronya's soft call caught their attention. Seeing the iconic "drill" head, Lilia and Rosalia immediately realized what was going on and shouted happily.

Cocolia had sent the two of them to pick someone up, but she hadn't specified who it was, so the two were very excited when they saw Bronya.

Rosalia happily jumped onto Bronya, her wagging tail revealing her joy. Lilia also quickly walked over and gave Bronya a big hug.

Chapter 219 Strange Movements of the Eye of the Abyss / Kosmo. Danger!

"Long time no see, Rosalia, Lilia, you've both grown up."

"Bronya is still the same as before, she hasn't changed at all."

Looking at the familiar person in front of her, Lilia smiled and spoke.

"Really? It hasn't changed at all?"

Seemingly wanting to see if Bronya had changed at all, the bold Rosalia went straight for it, and only after touching a pair of small steamed buns did she believe Lilia's words.

"Okay, nothing has changed at all!"

"Rosalia, don't touch places you shouldn't."

Feeling the strange sensation in her chest, Bronya said with a black line on her forehead.

"This is? Bronya, you know her?"

Seeing the three of them looking like they had just reunited after a long separation, Theresa asked curiously.

"Yes, they were Bronya's friends from the orphanage. The pink-haired one is called..."

Bronya separated the two little creatures that were clinging to her and introduced herself to them one by one.

The two greeted each other very politely, and Rosalia and Lilia even took out their strawberry cake and cherries to share with everyone.

In their words, it was a way of thanking Kiana and the others for taking care of Bronya during this time.

After all, Bronya had taken good care of them when they were in the orphanage.

After playing around, Rosalia and Lilia didn't forget their business. They immediately transformed into tour guides and began leading Kiana and the others on a tour.

It was called a tour, but it was really just taking them around aimlessly to familiarize them with the environment.

Ten or twenty minutes later, Rosalia received a message from Cocolia saying that she could take Theresa and the others over.

So the group set off towards the Eye of the Abyss.

As for why Cocolia summoned everyone to the Eye of the Abyss at this time...

That's because just before the Hyperion arrived, the Eye of the Abyss suddenly underwent a change, with massive Honkai energy flowing out and instantly infecting some of the surrounding marine life, turning them into special Honkai Beasts.

That's why Cocolia was in a hurry to clean up, leaving Rosalia and Lilia to greet Theresa and her party.

Now that the cleanup mission is over, the Eye of the Abyss is still continuously emitting Honkai energy. If left unchecked, it may eventually go berserk.
