The system handed me over to the state.

Then, Ji Chengtian took out his phone and showed Bronya the photos, saying, "This is what it looks like when the designer found someone with a similar figure to you to wear it. I have to say, you have such a great figure. To find a lady with a similar figure to you, you have to be a big star or a big model. Those people are eager to buy this evening gown as soon as they see it. We spent a lot of effort to find someone willing to be a fitting model."

Bronya blushed slightly as she looked at the model in the picture on her phone wearing the outfit. It was indeed beautiful, but... it was a bit too revealing!

The strapless long dress exposed Bronya's shoulders and the area above her chest, revealing her deep cleavage. The dress ended abruptly just below her thighs, with the shawl extending down to her knees on the other side.

At the same spot, there was a pure white stocking extending to the thigh, and on the other side, only an anklet...

Bronya couldn't help but cover her face. This was the kind of thing that would cause a wardrobe malfunction with the slightest movement! And with vigorous exercise, Bronya had no doubt that the bra would fall down, and if the bra wasn't tightened properly, it would definitely bounce around when she ran! Was this place not going to let her fight at all?

Ji Chengtian looked at Bronya's shy face and was slightly surprised. The designer had said that only adult women could wear this dress without any pressure, while younger girls would hesitate. Obviously, Bronya was not fully mature psychologically.

"Want to try them on?"

Ji Chengtian tried asking, and Bronya immediately shook her head vigorously, saying, "No! Unless..."

"This is a combat suit; don't underestimate its capabilities!"

Ji Chengtian shook his finger and then began to introduce, "First of all, this garment is made using the latest nanotechnology. It can adjust the material between your skin and the fabric to be the most comfortable for you based on your wearing habits. At the same time, any damaged parts can repair themselves immediately, and it is also first-class in terms of warmth and frost protection."

"Of course, the self-repair capability is limited, just like the situation in the movie where Iron Man's armor couldn't be repaired in the end when he fought Thanos because the nanomaterials were used up."

"Thanks to the special properties of nanomaterials, we have successfully applied Iron Curtain technology to this suit."

Bronya was dumbfounded. You're telling me clothes that expose so much skin...are for warmth and protection against the cold? And...Iron Curtain technology, a...clothes?!

Are you kidding her?! It's really not like the Iron Curtain will kill you after you activate it.

Seeing Bronya's horrified expression, Ji Chengtian smiled and pressed a small button on the side of the shawl. A familiar black and red halo immediately covered the shawl.

“We have transformed your shawl into a special part equipped with Iron Curtain technology.”

As he spoke, he reached out and, to Bronya's renewed horror, held up the shawl covered by the Iron Curtain, but... nothing happened.

Bronya gradually calmed down. "So... what's going on?"

"By applying nanotechnology, we apply the Iron Curtain technology to every tiny nanomaterial. When the nanomaterials of the shawl body are acted upon by the Iron Curtain, a new layer of nanomaterials will be generated on the surface at the same time to cover it."

"In this way, you can touch this shawl with any part of your body without any psychological pressure, and the Iron Curtain technology will make your shawl indestructible. Of course, the attack will first destroy the surface nanomaterials and then attack the nanomaterials covered by the Iron Curtain."

"So if you run out of the nanomaterials you're using for repairs, you should be careful when using this function."

Bronya also reached out and touched the shawl covered by the Iron Curtain. There was indeed no adverse reaction. How could they have researched it to this extent in just a month and a half?

"Aren't you the Heralds of Reason?"

Bronya couldn't help but tease, and Ji Chengtian smiled, "I'll accept this praise on behalf of our research institute! By the way, the core of this dress also includes this."

Ji Chengtian picked up the large blue bow hair accessory hanging on the shelf. "This is a time-space teleportation device. When you activate it, it can instantly teleport you back to the coordinates you set."

"It can be used a maximum of three times at a time, and needs to be recharged after three uses."

Bronya frowned. Although her physical strength could withstand the side effects of hyperspace teleportation, ... she couldn't always take that into account every time she teleported.

Perhaps sensing Bronya's concerns, Ji Chengtian said again, "You can rest assured that thanks to the technology of the pocket space, when you activate the teleportation, a spatial protective membrane will be generated on the outside of your body, so your body will not be affected by the side effects of hyperspace teleportation."

"Finally...would you like to try it on? I'll take a picture of it for my designer friend and send it to him."

Bronya finally nodded and took the dress to the dressing room to change.

Who doesn't love a pretty dress!

Chapter 69: Just kidding~

How are you feeling?

Do you want the truth or a lie?

Hei hope blinked, looked at Bronya in a blue and white dress in front of her, and asked with a smile. Bronya hesitated for a moment, then replied, "The truth."

"very beautiful!"

"A lie?"

"Absolutely gorgeous!"

Is there a difference?

"Of course there's a difference. One sounds very ordinary, like a regular compliment, while the other is extremely shocking, like being amazed by your beauty."

Bronya smiled helplessly, stepped forward and flicked Blackie's forehead, "All talk and no action! Tell me, since you're not fully recovered since you're coming with me this time, I think I can help you with something."

Blackie insisted on going on this mission as well. The reason was simple: she wanted to go with Bronya to become stronger. Moreover, the battle in another world would help her recover her strength. She wasn't the kind of flower that liked to grow in a greenhouse.

However, now, his strength has recovered to less than 30%, at most he can condense his armor and scythe, and he can't maintain them for long. He is completely different from his former strength.

So, after Bronya found out, she offered to help.

Bronya nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Then I'll... give it a try first."

Data began to flash in her blue eyes. Blackie stood in front of Bronya, who reached out and placed her hand on Blackie's body. Blue structural energy condensed in Bronya's hand and then spread to Blackie's body.

Like herself, Bronya had already completed the analysis of the combat suit after putting it on. She had analyzed all the technologies used in it, and she could use her abilities to construct combat suits with the same or even stronger functions for others.

Soon, Hei hope's clothes underwent a huge change: a princess dress with white as the main color and purple as the secondary color, pure white stockings, and a pair of white high-heeled ankle boots with black soles.

Looking at the flowers on the hem of her skirt, and the silver lock around her neck and waist, a hint of melancholy flickered in her crimson eyes. "These really are... clothes that evoke nostalgia..."

Hei hope closed her eyes, and her long, black and red hair quickly contracted, turning into Xi'er's original light purple shoulder-length hair. When she opened her eyes again, her pupils had also turned light purple.

Bronya stared blankly at Seele in front of her, and subconsciously reached out and placed her hand on Seele's face. Seele also showed a gentle smile and said in her soft voice, "Sister Bronya."

“Seele.…”

Bronya muttered it again, reached out her hand, and then... *snap!* flicked her finger across Seele's forehead, instantly shattering Seele's disguise. "Ouch! It really is... how did you find out?"

Black Seele grumbled and complained. Bronya sighed slightly. She was very familiar with this outfit. It was the white dress that belonged to Seele in the Twins. She had intentionally prepared this combat outfit for Black Seele, but she did not expect Black Seele to be able to do it like this.

"How did you do that? Didn't you say... Seele had already been... taken away?"

Hei hope nodded. Although Bronya had exposed her disguise, her hair and eye color had not changed back. "We are, after all, the same person, and we are using the same body. I am her, and she is me. It's just that we express ourselves differently."

"If I want, I can restore this body to its original form at any time, which is... how it looks now."

Hei hope touched the white flower hair ornament on the side of her head. She had never fought under such circumstances before. At this moment, Bronya reached out and quickly constructed a gorgeous white and purple scythe in her hand.

"Another weapon that evokes nostalgia..."

Taking the scythe from Bronya's hand, the Gate of the Other Shore, she was severed in the battle against the Herrscher of Reason, and with her was taken away the beautiful side of Seele.

Blackie gripped the scythe tightly in her hand, her other hand clenched against her chest, her teeth clenched. Just then, a warm embrace enveloped Blackie. She looked up and saw Bronya's gentle eyes.

"It's alright, I'm here. I have a feeling she's not dead. Do you believe me?"

Bronya reached out and ruffled Blackie's hair, but Blackie immediately broke free from Bronya's embrace. "I know best whether she's dead or not! I don't need you to tell me your premonitions!"

"Shall we make a bet?"

Bronya held out her hand, and a diamond ring suddenly appeared in her palm. Blackie was stunned. "A bet? A bet on why you're pulling out a diamond ring?"

"If I win, you'll marry me; if you lose... you'll still marry me."

"Huh?! Are you an idiot?"

A look of shock immediately appeared on Hei hope's face. At this moment, Bronya suddenly stepped forward, pulled Hei hope into her arms, and gazed deeply into Hei hope's eyes, saying, "I love you."

Hei hope stared blankly at Bronya, who was so serious, a blush suddenly appearing on her face. She lowered her head, revealing a rare shy expression. But at that moment, Bronya suddenly smiled and said, "Just kidding."

After saying that, the diamond ring in his hand transformed back into blue structural energy and disappeared.

Blackie's face instantly turned incredibly gloomy. Bronya turned around and said, "Alright, let's do a practical test next and see how much combat power you still have left."

But he didn't get a reply from Kuroki. He turned around in confusion and saw Kuroki raising her scythe.

"Don't treat a girl's feelings like a toy! You wicked older sister!!!"

Boom!

The massive explosion instantly engulfed the entire maintenance room. Bronya safely jumped out of the smoke and landed. The next second, Black Seele's scythe followed closely behind, heading straight for Bronya's neck from the side.

At that moment, Bronya raised her left hand, and a white mechanical artifact resembling a closed bow and arrow was immediately constructed on the white wrist guard on her left hand.

Clang! The scythe was easily blocked by the artifact on the wrist guard. Bronya closed the distance between herself and Blackie again, breathed a warm breath into Blackie's ear, and said softly, "Continue."

"You...you bastard!"

Hei hope couldn't think of anything else to say. She felt her face burning intensely, and the speed at which she swung the scythe in her hand increased.

Bronya removed the artifact from her wristband and unfurled it like a drawn bow, engaging in close combat with Blackish. Her figure soared and tumbled through the half-ruined maintenance room, and even in mid-air, facing Blackish's scythe, she was able to maneuver gracefully by constructing suspended blocks beneath her feet, dodging the scythe's attacks with the agility of a swift.

Soon, enraged, Hei hope exhausted her strength before she could recover much of it. Even though she still gripped the scythe tightly, her unsteady posture and trembling arms showed that her body had reached its limit.

"You...give it to me..."

Blackie lost her footing and fell forward. Bronya teleported in front of her almost instantly and caught her. At that moment, Blackie grabbed Bronya's shawl and pulled her towards herself.

"This is... the price you pay for toying with me!"

-

--Mini Theater--

"Hey! What you just said, was it true? That you loved me, that you wanted me to marry you and stuff like that...?"

What do you think?

"....I have no idea..."

After a moment of silence, Hei hope decided to take the initiative.

"You remember this: that is my mark, belonging solely to me, not Seele's mark. You belong to me, and no one can possess you in front of me! Not even her!"

Bronya shrugged, offering no response, and instead turned her back to Blackie, reaching out to touch her lips once more.

It's not time yet, Bronya....

Chapter 70: The Faction War Begins

As it turns out, Bronya's construction ability enabled her to create a combat suit that significantly increased Blackish's combat power. When Bronya used 50% of her power, Blackish could fight her to a draw. Blackish's power at that time was also exactly 50%, indicating that the two should be quite evenly matched when they were at their peak.

Today is the day the mission begins.
