The system handed me over to the state.

Therefore, the three of them rarely appear in public anymore, partly because being recognized could easily cause trouble, and partly because they don't have the time.

"Let's just order the usual food. Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"Is your heart up to it?"

"...Stop messing around. I'm not Sun Wukong, I can't conjure up a thousand hearts for you."

"Tch... boring... you take a joke so seriously, people like you are really boring."

Chapter 214: Seele Wants a Perfect Ending

At night, the three women returned home after having hotpot and prepared to rest. They were lucky; many people recognized them, but no one made any big moves. No one rushed up to ask for autographs, and no one threw anything at them.

Very few people were taking photos with their phones, which suggests that the Chinese citizens they encountered were generally well-mannered.

After washing up, Bronya snuggled under the covers, looking at the news on various forums on her phone. At this moment, Hei hope opened the door, crawled into the covers, and hugged Bronya tightly from behind.

Bronya subconsciously thought that Blackie was about to start demanding or exploiting her again, but unexpectedly, she simply hugged her and then there was no more movement.

Hei hope pressed her face tightly against Bronya's back. Bronya thought for a moment, put down her phone, turned around, hugged Hei hope, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

His right hand gently stroked Blackie's back, and Blackie changed the object of his burrowing, to Bronya's pert breasts, which were soft, warm, and intoxicating, making him unable to extricate himself.

"Let me hold you for a while... don't move around."

Hei hope's voice was slightly low.

However, at that moment, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Seele, wearing a white nightgown, suddenly appeared in the doorway. Bronya turned her head in surprise. What... what's going on?

"Bronya...can I...can I sleep with you?"

Bronya's expression was slightly strange. Wait... how come they all came over one by one?!

Black Seele is one thing, the two of them have been together for a long time, but... why is Seele taking the initiative now? Is he really treating her like a heroine in a visual novel?

And is the strategy to achieve a perfect ending while still having a girlfriend?

"Forehead....."

However, before Bronya could speak, Seele quickly slipped into Bronya's bed. Fortunately, once inside, Seele pressed herself against Bronya's body and made no sound.

Bronya sighed, "You two... never mind, go to sleep. Be a little more well-behaved today."

Bronya patted Blackie on the back. She wasn't quite sure what was going on with Blackie's current withdrawn state, but she had a guess that it was probably related to that incident from before.

Tonight will pass, and things will be better tomorrow morning.

As for Seele... stop circling your hands on the back of your head! It's so itchy. What are you thinking about? Is there anything that's bothering you like this?

So Bronya had Seele hold her other hand, then lay down on the bed, turned her head, and stared intently at Seele's somewhat flustered expression. "How long are you going to keep drawing circles?"

"Ah, um... I... I didn't mean to..."

"There's nothing wrong... Is something on your mind too?"

At that moment, Seele saw Black Seele on the other side, who was in a withdrawn state. "Is Black Seele... alright?"

Seele still couldn't bring herself to be hostile towards Black Seele. Bronya had told her about Black Seele's past and personality, which was why she was able to tolerate many of Black Seele's excessive or radical actions in their interactions. All of this was simply because she wanted to ensure that she wouldn't be abandoned.

She also hopes to find a balance among Bronya, Blackie, and herself, and then walk happily together, rather than having Blackie lose everything because of her appearance, or causing conflict between Bronya and Blackie.

A perfect ending is still very difficult to achieve.

This is Seele's own thought, an idea that... she doesn't know if it can be realized.

"No, I'm just a little... conflicted. Sister Bronya, do you think we can really launch a counterattack against the Shadow Empire a year from now?"

Seele didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only try to get by with a random topic, but as soon as she brought it up, she regretted it... Why did she choose such a topic!

"Hmm... this? I'm not too sure either, but I can say for sure that if the Shadow Empire wants to take us down with them, then they will be the ones to perish."

"Don't forget, I have at least three ways to directly destroy the Shadow Kingdom, the only price being my life."

Seele's expression changed in surprise, and she suddenly tightened her grip on Bronya's arm, drawing a questioning look from Bronya. Seele's emotions became slightly agitated, "No... don't say things like that! If possible... Bronya can't die!"

"Huh?"

"No...no matter who it is, don't say things like that. It's just my life. Bronya is very important to the country and to Heishi. If you die...Heishi might...break down."

Bronya sighed. She knew that if she died, Black Xi would most likely collapse, and the country would have no way to stop her then. It was unclear what she would do.

Without White's restraint, Bronya herself didn't know how terrifying the berserk Black was.

They might even dismantle the entire country...

"I know, so I will cherish my life."

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow is the start of very heavy training. There won't be such leisurely rest time after that."

Yes, there won't be any more leisurely rest in the coming period. There will be heavy training, dealing with the invasion of the Shadow Empire, and most importantly, the expansion of the other world, Shenzhou, in cooperation with Destiny has also encountered obstacles.

"Hmm, rest... sleep."

Seele snuggled closer to Bronya and then hugged Bronya's other hand. Bronya smiled helplessly at this, but the next second, her smile froze.

Wait a minute! With Seele holding me on my left and Black Seele on my right, these two are like fixed anchor points, fixing me right here. Does that mean I... can't even turn over?!

Thinking of this, Bronya's body stiffened. She turned her head to look to the left, then to the right, and finally stared blankly at the ceiling, her mind empty. If it were an ordinary boy or girl, with two girls they liked sleeping on either side of them, it would be impossible not to have any thoughts, right?

But strangely, she felt that she was now without desires or wants, like... a sage.

"Hmm... have I... been spending too much time with girls and become completely indifferent to them...?"

With a sigh, Bronya had no choice but to drift into sleep, perhaps the only way to alleviate her grief.

Chapter 215: China's Ultimate Weapon

"Keep going! Move around! Don't just lie there motionless. On the battlefield, the enemy won't give up their attack just because you're incapacitated!"

Bronya reprimanded them sternly, looking at the five team members lying on the ground in front of her. The five of them even seemed to have great difficulty moving their arms. Bronya sighed helplessly, waved her right hand, and Little Rabbit stretched out her hand. The mechanical device in the sky quickly contracted, transformed, and returned to Little Rabbit's hand.

The gravitational field pressing down on the five people quickly dissipated, and they immediately gasped for breath, greedily inhaling the air to alleviate the breathing difficulties caused by the strong gravitational pressure.

"How come you guys are so bad? Don't tell me you've been focusing on training your skills and forgot about exercising your bodies."

The team members could only manage forced smiles; only Bronya could say something like that as a joke.

"Captain...you really are talking without understanding the situation..."

Bronya gave a slightly apologetic smile. "Hehe, I just said it offhand. Don't worry about it. But seriously, it's only three times gravity, and you guys are already being crushed and can't get up. You're really a bit weak."

"The three of us are experiencing about 5 to 6 times the normal gravity. There are also a few other ability users inside the base who can withstand 4 times the normal gravity. So you have a long way to go."

Bronya smiled, while the team members could only express their resentment with indifferent expressions.

After resting for a while, one of the team members seemed curious, perhaps it was a sudden thought, or perhaps he had been prepared to ask the question all along.

"Captain... is there any possibility that we can coexist peacefully with the Shadow Kingdom? It feels... war is still terrifying."

As a soldier who had never been active on the front lines and had always worked in the humanities, she felt her blood boil when she saw Bronya fighting against the people of the Shadow Empire. She thought to herself, if a girl like Bronya could stand there, then couldn't she do the same?

With this in mind, she resolutely joined the volunteer team and successfully stood out.

But now, when the topic of war was actually brought up, the documentaries and movies about the horrors of war that she had seen before played back in her mind, and she felt... fear.

Bronya pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course it's terrifying... What you see is me just standing there, setting up cannons and bombarding, a very simple thing. But for the soldiers of the Shadow Empire and the priests of the Holy Light, they face the fear of explosions that come from nowhere, their comrades being blown to pieces one by one, and the scythe of death already hanging over their necks."

"The reason why soldiers can perfectly execute orders in war is not because they are not afraid of war, but because they can control their emotions and their fear."

"When death really comes, they will be afraid and cry like a child, but they will still choose to rush forward and give their lives because the soldiers of China know very well that behind them are billions of people fighting desperately for China and the country itself."

"If I run away now, who will protect these ordinary people?"

Bronya sighed slightly. "I know you're all tired of hearing this, but I think it's necessary to emphasize this... As for the possibility of peaceful coexistence, my answer is... it's possible!"

"But now, there is no possibility, because they have sent soldiers, legions, armies. In their view, conquering our country is the best thing for them, so they will not change their plans until the situation changes."

"Then... under what circumstances would that shadowy realm negotiate with us?"

"When a power capable of destroying their country in an instant hangs over their heads."

Bronya's lips curled up slightly, and the five team members were stunned. Moss stared blankly at Bronya. "To be honest, we have made the worst preparations. If the resistance in Shenzhou fails, we will transfer the vast majority of the country's population to another world through the 'channel' to survive, and then... wait for the opportunity for revenge."

Yes, this was the tone set at a meeting three months ago. In the past, China resisted invasions from Europe and the United States, but they fought back and retaliated. However, now, if the Shadow Empire is truly an opponent that China cannot defeat, then most of China's population, scientific researchers, and military will be preserved and transferred to another world.

Then they will continue to develop until they are qualified, and then they will make the Shadow Kingdom feel the wrath of the Divine Land!

"revenge...."

Moss murmured to herself, shook her head, and gazed at Bronya, "Then... when can we join the main battlefront?"

“You are not ready yet. Your qualification standard is three times the gravity field, and then I will let you join my official team.”

"We don't know how long this war will last, and we must be prepared for it."

Preparations are underway domestically, as the invasion of the Shadow Empire has been confirmed by Tong Xi and the priest they captured the first time. Furthermore, all they have learned from the priest are various bizarre religious stories and beliefs, with no usable intelligence. Therefore, they are unsure of the true strength of the Shadow Empire.

In Tong Xi's view, magical civilization and technological civilization lead to the same goal, but the difference in the nature of their power in the early stages will result in vastly different strengths.

Bronya believes the biggest difference lies in overall strength. In the magical civilization, each individual is very strong, possessing skills like magic and battle aura. In contrast, the technological civilization has various powerful weapons with maximum area-of-effect damage, which is unmatched by any archbishop.

Under such circumstances, it's really hard to say who would win or lose if war broke out.

"Get ready...yes! Get ready!"

Moss muttered to herself, then rallied and repeated it again. Even though she was exhausted, she still said to Bronya, "Captain, let's keep training! I want to become stronger!"

"You're very motivated... but I'm sorry, continuing to train now will only put too much strain on your bodies, so... we'll stop training for now and move on to other activities."

Bronya's lips curled into a warm smile, as if she had thought of something happy. However, this smile made Moss's heart tighten; she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Chapter 216: A Critical Moment

"Ah~"

"Ouch! Ahhh! Let go! Let go now!"
