The system handed me over to the state.

"Using seismic waves to create a mess of the area beneath our feet won't cause it to collapse, but it will greatly hinder Epsilon's drilling rigs from emerging from under us, thus preventing some disgusting things from suddenly appearing in our faces."

"Let's continue our previous topic. You already know why I'm here. In return, I will protect you until you reach the Bering Strait and reunite with Rushdie."

"After the battle of the Bering Sea is over, you'll have to rely on yourself. I won't stay here any longer."

"Then where do you plan to go! Is there anywhere in this world... safe to stay? Instead of wandering around outside, why don't you join us, sister!"

Yunru called out in confusion, her voice drawing the attention of the guards nearby. Bronya shook her head, "I'm sorry... your sister died decades ago. You can assume your sister and younger sister never existed."

Although it might sound too harsh, Bronya felt it was necessary to make it clear. After all, this was a world where leaving meant never returning, and leaving too many lingering attachments could cause her to constantly think of coming back, adding an extra burden of longing...

Yunru's expression was ambiguous. Bronya reached out and placed her hand on Yunru's head, saying, "But I believe she would be very happy to see you now, because her sister has grown into a strong and capable... well... a tough woman?"

"If you don't know how to comfort people, then you shouldn't comfort others at all..."

After a moment of stiffness, Yunru shook her head and said, Bronya shrugged, "It's good that you understand. I just wanted to express this idea."

"You can even think of me as a clone of your sister. In short, you need to understand that I am not the sister you expect me to be, understand?"

Yunru nodded, looking quite disappointed. At that moment, the transport vehicle arrived at the agreed location. Bronya had taken down most of the Epsilon base, while the defense line had been destroyed by Yunru and her guards.

Finally, Epsilon's airborne paratroopers were all dealt with by Bunny's attack, and the underground burrowing vehicle attack was also stopped with Bronya's help, so basically... it was over before any real fighting took place.

Together with Yunru, they boarded the transport vehicle to leave, while the surviving team began their evacuation through other means.

On the way, Yunru and Bronya remained silent. Finally, Yunru took the initiative to speak: "I understand... I will try to accept you, but that doesn't mean I will directly deny that you are my sister."

Even if you are a clone, we still have an inseparable connection beyond blood ties!

Faced with Yunru's insistence, she could only nod in agreement. What else could she say? There was absolutely no need to dwell on these matters; she should just get on with what she needed to do.

The atmosphere inside the vehicle quickly returned to its original silence.

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

Are you thinking about her?

"Hmm... I really don't feel used to her not being here."

Blackie took the hot water Seele handed her. Since Bronya was gone, she had started paying attention to many things around her, even her period this month felt incredibly painful and agonizing...

Even with Seele by her side, she still felt somewhat tormented.

In response, Xi'er reached out and stroked Hei Xi's lower abdomen, saying, "It's alright, she'll be back soon. Tong Xi said that she would only be gone for a month, and half a month has already passed. She'll be back soon."

Hei hope nodded and curled up again. "I know... but I can't help thinking about her... and this body... is still too weak."

Hei hope complained that her body was so weak when it got its period. Why had she never felt this way before? Or was it because Bronya left that she felt weak?

When did I become so dependent on someone?

Without her, even surviving would be so painful?

As Black Seele questioned herself, she also realized the pathological extent to which her dependence on Bronya had become. Seele, on the other hand, was also somewhat troubled, as she had never seen Black Seele show such an expression or demeanor before.

But now, she felt that after Bronya left, Blackie had become unusually weak. She was absent-minded in everything she did, and even needed her help with many things, just like a child who had just left his parents.

As she felt a surge of emotion, she thought to herself, "There are still two weeks left. Hang in there, Sister Hei hope and Sister Bronya will be back soon."

Chapter 286: Bronya's Little Gift

"It seems your technology recovery is almost complete, and you should have achieved all your goals, right?"

On the way to the Bering Sea, Bronya watched as someone was sifting through various technologies and prototype devices on a computer, and asked with concern.

Yunru nodded. "That's enough... We've recovered all the technologies that could be recovered. It's a pity that the Longsword Destruction Armor from the Pacific front is missing. If we could recover it, it would be of great help to our upcoming battles."

"You don't need to think about it anymore, that thing has already been destroyed by Tomokawa Norio."

Yunru paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "How did you know? It's like you knew exactly what we were going to do. You anticipated everything, and you can even make almost prophetic judgments about the future. How do you do this...prophecy?"

Bronya didn't answer Yunru. She crossed her arms and sat back in her seat, saying, "This isn't that important, is it?"

Yunru was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed... it's not very important. You helped us save a lot of combat power, allowing us to have more manpower in the upcoming battles."

"As we agreed, I will let you analyze the remaining two Iron Dragon tanks after we arrive at the base in the Bering Sea."

"Well, as a reward, I will give you the blueprints for the Iron Dragon Tank. It will become your most advantageous team battle vehicle in resisting Yuri's army."

If you have the blueprints for the Iron Dragon and can mass-produce it, then there will be no problem with the fortress strategy in Alaska. If you can't defend it even with the Iron Dragon, then Bronya is really speechless.

Yunru nodded silently, continuing to focus her energy on the upcoming battle in the Bering Sea. This time, they had to find a way to capture the launch base here in Epsilon and then head to the moon to give them a glimmer of hope.

To this end, they specifically recruited a commander from the Pacific front to oversee this operation, hoping to successfully conclude the campaign.

At this moment, Yunru also asked, "Will we... have a chance to meet again?"

Bronya shook her head. "No, this is the last time we'll meet. After today, you'll never see me again. What happens to this world will have nothing to do with me anymore."

"The future of this world is in your own hands."

"Moreover, if you still can't defeat Yuri with such a terrifying war machine as the Iron Dragon, then it's none of my business."

Bronya's attitude was very clear: if you can't beat Yuri in a fight even with mass-produced Iron Dragons, then you're a disgrace! You're an idiot!

Several hours later, the two arrived at the base in the Bering Sea. The vanguard had already established a fully functional composite base here, a composite base consisting of the Pacific front and the military equipment of the Celestial Empire.

After leaving the vehicle, Bronya immediately saw Rushdie, who had arrived almost at the same time as them. Rushdie's appearance was quite different from what she had imagined; he was probably... too young, and seemed... a little bit... flamboyant?

Bronya didn't know, but she didn't care anymore. She turned to Yunru and asked, "Are you ready?"

"It's all ready. The AI ​​assistant will guide you to the workshop where the iron dragons are parked. Once you're ready, you can upload the data directly to the AI ​​assistant, and WalkerNet will connect with you. I need to go to the core of the atom with Rushdie here to conduct research."

"please!"

Yunru spoke solemnly to Bronya, who nodded and turned to leave. Rushdie stepped forward and asked, "Is this the...sister you were talking about? Doesn't she feel cold at all?"

"I don't know... None of that matters. I've... let it go. Let's continue our research. The Commander and the AI ​​assistant will handle this battle."

"Understood... Hopefully, the moon can escape Yuri's mind control network, otherwise, that's the only option we have."

On the other side, Bronya, guided by the assisting AI, arrived at the workshop where the Iron Dragon was parked. Looking at this war machine, which was entirely black metal with red stripes, Bronya couldn't help but wonder if this thing could be used as a standard weapon for tanks.

When the time comes, how powerful will this hodgepodge monster be, with its twin-barreled electromagnetic main cannon, Iron Dragon's particle pulse cannon, and all sorts of missiles and machine guns?

Bronya thought about it carefully. Rather than... creating such a hodgepodge of a giant monster, wouldn't it be better to create... a battle fortress?

It seems like a good idea. The Xuanwu Fortress on the Pacific front is a good example, as is the Centurion mech. However, there are still many aspects that need to be refined.

Next, Bronya and Rabbit began to work together to analyze the Iron Dragon Tank in front of them.

The analysis was incredibly fast; in just ten minutes, Bronya had obtained the complete blueprints for the Iron Dragon Tank.

After the rabbit converted the blueprints, she uploaded them to the AI ​​assistant beside her. With that, she had achieved her goal and could choose to leave.

Are you leaving?

However, at this moment, the assisting AI beside her asked through its speaker, and Bronya glanced at the robot representing the assisting AI and said, "You are WalkerNet, right?"

"Yes, this is WalkerNet. Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I'm leaving. This is the last time we'll meet, though I'm not sure if it counts as a meeting."

"..."

"I'm leaving. Tell that silly girl Yunru that the future won't be so simple; hardship and suffering await her."

After saying that, Bronya disappeared from the robot's sensor range. After transmitting Bronya's last words to the database, the robot silently left.

Yunru, inside the atomic core, checked the database after receiving the notification. Looking at the data in the database, her mood became somewhat complicated.

Rushdie stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"She's gone... The blueprints for the Iron Dragon have been uploaded... This is her last gift to us."

"...Then let's use him to thwart Yuri's plot!"

Yunru nodded, and while uploading the Iron Dragon's construction blueprints to the Heavy Factory, she said through the communicator, "Commander, the Iron Dragon's construction blueprints have been uploaded to the Heavy Factory. Use it to completely crush Epsilon's defenses!"

Chapter 287: The Unchangeable Ending

"We...we have one last option..."

...

"Professor, I hope our theory is... correct..."

...

A month later, Bronya walked on this cold, white land, looking around at Epsilon, which was busy rebuilding its core Antarctic base. For once, the fighting on this land had temporarily ceased in a peculiar way.

The Allied forces ultimately failed, as Bronya had anticipated, but it did end in a way she had never imagined.

Bronya stopped and looked at the snow-covered ground in front of her. She waved her hand gently, and the snow in front of her quickly disappeared, revealing the corpse wrapped in silver-white armor and the damaged silver-white wings.

"In the end... you still fell here... I originally thought that I could at least rewrite the ending a little bit, but now it seems that I couldn't do it, and even made your defeat more complete."

She originally thought that the Paradox Engine's time stop was the biggest weapon. No matter how powerful Libra was, it couldn't kill everyone by itself when facing the entire Allied army plus the Paradox Engine. But she was wrong.

Bronya reached out and placed Tomokawa Norio's body into a special coffin. Then, Bronya teleported again, arriving at an icy highland, where the Paradox Engine had crashed.

After Rahn killed Siegfried, Siegfried's body was abandoned here, to rest in peace on this frozen land alongside hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers.

Bronya felt a slight dissatisfaction with Epsilon. This was a problem that Rahn and Libra might not realize, but surely that heretic would? Or had they simply forgotten about it during the final purge?

But this is for the best. At least she doesn't have to worry about the future. The remains of the two heroes will be taken by Epsilon and transformed into some kind of cyborg or something. They can also be recycled.

They also placed Sig's body into the coffin and retrieved all the shattered Spirit of the Ages devices. In fact, Bronya had been able to leave half a month ago, but she lingered for a while because she was curious about how the bodies of Tomokawa Norio, Sig's ally Walton, and others were handled, now that she knew the ending.

Walton's remains were in the hands of the wreckage of the Paradox Engine, but the whereabouts of Tomokawa Norio and Sieg were unknown. Bronya was somewhat worried that they might be transformed into cyborgs, but it seems that Epsilon, which is rebuilding and eliminating all those who resist mind control, has not remembered the remains of these two people, which is why Bronya was able to retrieve them so smoothly.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd have to take a trip to Epsilon's lab.

Next, Bronya teleported to the giant tower in Antarctica. Because of the invisibility device, the headquarters guards here would not be aware of her presence, except for Libra, who was currently too tired from controlling the minds of all the people in the world and had fallen into a long slumber.

This is one of the reasons why Bronya dares to wander around this area freely.

Suddenly, Bronya noticed something unusual. She discovered that certain parts of the tower were unusually active with psychic energy, as if they were releasing some kind of signal.

Bronya raised an eyebrow slightly. It was as if someone was standing on a high place, waving at her and begging her to come and take a look. Hadn't the surrounding Epsilon troops noticed this? Why wasn't anyone reacting?
