The system handed me over to the state.

Bronya felt a pang of emotion. Kiana and Mei had a very good relationship with Bronya, but while their relationship was still acceptable when facing White Nozomi, their attitudes were completely different when facing Black Nozomi.

"Um, you're Seele, right?"

Just then, Mei suddenly appeared beside them. Seele stared at Mei for a moment and asked, "What is it? Dear Mei-neechan, is there something you need from me?"

Mei looked puzzled for a moment, "You're not Seele...."

"How could that be? I am Seele, just... another Seele, and the cute and innocent Seele you're looking for is right here."

The blue butterfly on Seele's shoulder fluttered its wings, and Shiro's voice rang in Mei's mind. Mei paused for a moment, recalling Seele's specific situation, and asked with some confusion, "So... you are using Seele's body now, and Seele is by your side in the form of a butterfly?"

"Can't the original Seele go back to her own body?"

"How about... we ask Dr. Einstein? Maybe he can solve this problem?"

"And, given your current situation... perhaps it's possible to separate the two of you?"

Mei tentatively asked, and Seele looked slightly surprised. At this moment, Bronya intervened, "Miss Mei, I understand your thoughts, but I will handle Seele's problem. What you need to consider now is whether to continue cooperating with Shenzhou behind me."

"By the way, if you have any leftover Honkai energy neutralizer, please be sure to give me some."

"Honkai energy neutralizer...what do you need it for?"

Mei asked in confusion, "Honkai energy neutralizer, they only have a few vials left. Most importantly, this thing is used to neutralize Honkai energy erosion. It was brought by Teacher Himeko and then reverse engineered by Dr. Einstein."

It's true that every one used is one less available.

"Go save... my other self. We found Bronya from this world in the mechanical factory. Her body is in a state of severe Honkai energy corruption. Her Herrscher core saved her life, but she is only barely hanging on. We need Honkai energy neutralizer to save her life."

Seeing Mei's shocked expression, Bronya smiled and said, "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can bring the potion back to the base with me, and I will prove it to you."

"I understand, please wait a moment."

Mei turned and left the room. Bronya turned back and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

"I have no feelings... She doesn't care about me, but about another Seele..."

But there's another me too; caring about me is also caring about you.

However, Bai hope didn't see it that way. Hei Xi opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything, pouting somewhat dejectedly.

Bronya naturally knew what Seele wanted to say, but she didn't say it for Seele. She felt it was better for Seele to tell Bai Xi these words herself; if Bronya said them for her, the meaning of the words would change.

After waiting in the room for a few minutes, Bronya was greeted by Mei, Theresa, and Einstein.

As soon as she entered, Mei tossed what she was holding to Bronya. Bronya caught it and looked at the food in her hand: a glass syringe containing a pale blue liquid.

She recognized the style of the syringe; it was the Honkai energy neutralizer that Himeko injected into Kiana at the cost of her own life during her final battle with the Herrscher of the Void.

"Thank you."

Bronya thanked the three people in front of her, while Mei crossed her arms and said, "You don't need to thank me. This was a decision made jointly by Theresa and Dr. Einstein."

"You're Bronya, right? I never imagined Bronya would be so well-endowed after growing up..."

Theresa looked at Bronya with envy in her eyes. Bronya simply smiled and said, "You can do it too, Theresa, but it might take... a little longer."

"Maybe..."

Theresa was actually very clear about whether she could grow up or not; it was just Bronya giving her some psychological comfort.

"Speaking of which, you come from another parallel world. What am I like in that other world?"

Theresa was very curious, and Bronya stroked her chin, "About that... I didn't actually bother you, because in our world, there is no Honkai, and the whole world is basically... quite peaceful!"

Bronya paused, then continued, "You're all living well now, so I didn't bother you... I don't know the specifics, but what I do know is that Kiana, Mei, and Himeko are all studying at the same university."

“Theresa, I haven’t investigated what you’re saying, so I’m not very clear about it.”

"Huh! They didn't investigate me? That's a bit of a shame."

Theresa looked very disappointed, and Dr. Einstein became curious, "So, Ms. Bronya, what was I like in that world?"

Bronya froze, her expression turning extremely troubled. "Um...about that..."

Bronya seemed a little embarrassed. She really didn't know how to tell Dr. Einstein, "Are you an old man in the other world?"

And it's even used as an emoji?

Is this...something that's hard to put into words?

Einstein was somewhat confused. Why did his other self seem like a very indescribable person when looking at Bronya's expression?

"If it's too difficult to bring up, then let's leave it at that, Miss Bronya. How about we discuss matters related to the alliance next?"

Has the time for an alliance finally come?

It seems that we should be able to take the alliance route next, which would be fine. But if we are disliked, then the problem will be much bigger.

Chapter 139: I Need to Reassemble the Valkyries

Alliance negotiations are essentially about both parties presenting their conditions and then reaching a consensus.

But in reality... Einstein and his colleagues discovered that after both sides laid out all their conditions, they found that they had almost nothing left to use as leverage.

If they had to pinpoint a specific technology, it would be related to Honkai energy. However, that world doesn't have Honkai energy, and they don't know what would happen if they brought Honkai energy there.

Bronya and her team, on the other hand, had much more to offer: technology that didn't use Honkai energy at all, the ability to help rebuild the wasteland, various material support, and even the willingness to help them resolve the issues with the constructs on this planet for free.

Even if we can't offer any terms, are you still willing to help us?

Einstein felt a little puzzled. She couldn't understand why Bronya was making a pure investment without any return.

"The planet itself is the biggest investment."

Bronya smiled and said that Einstein was stunned. Then she realized that this planet was the biggest investment. In the future, all human civilization on this planet would be rebuilt with the help of Shenzhou. If they wanted to rebuild the glory of human civilization in the past and encounter the continuous collapse in the process of rebuilding, then the help of Shenzhou would be necessary.

The resources of their planet are what enable them to acquire the capital to rebuild cities and civilizations.

In other words, they have nothing but this planet.

Einstein felt a slight headache... He had no capital, and having no capital was the most unfortunate thing.

"I understand, Miss Bronya. We'll discuss it carefully. Please wait a moment, okay?"

Bronya nodded. Of course, they needed to discuss it properly. This was a very serious decision, and making a hasty decision was not their style.

While Einstein and the others were discussing the matter, Bronya contacted the base and received very bad news.

That is, after Bronya dealt with the mechanical factory, the base in Shenzhou detected a lot of activity. After sending reconnaissance aircraft to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, they found that many of the factories that were destroyed by gunships had been repaired, and a large number of Honkai Beasts and zombies were being transported into the factories.

Furthermore, a large number of mechanical structures were gathered around the factory, making it look like a massive battle was about to take place.

"Damn it! I was in such a rush that I completely forgot about this!"

Bronya regretted it a little. She was too eager to rescue Bronya and neglected the existence of that damned AI. If only the mechanical body was destroyed, the AI ​​itself would not die. The death of Void Archives was equivalent to the AI ​​being completely freed from its restraints and entering a state of unbridled chaos.

She wasn't sure what changes would occur to the AI ​​under such circumstances.

"What happened?"

At that moment, Seele asked from behind, and Bronya replied with a solemn expression, "Yes, do you remember the mechanical being we faced back then?"

"Hmm, that mechanical AI that looks like Bronya, right?"

Seele remembered it, and she felt it was a real pity that she hadn't been able to eliminate the other party herself.

"That guy is still alive, and all the factories we destroyed have been rebuilt. He's also amassing a huge army to fight us in a decisive battle."

Seele was stunned. Bronya bit her thumb. "This is going to be tough. It looks like we're in for a tough battle."

"The alliance with Theresa and the others must be accelerated. It's possible for the Shenzhou army to deal with those mechanical constructs, but we can't defeat those Emperor-level modified Honkai Beasts so easily. We need Kiana and the others' strength."

"Moreover, with sufficient combat power, we can launch a transdimensional strike to carry out a decapitation operation and resolve this crisis."

Furthermore, an encirclement strategy could be attempted, where buildings could be teleported directly to the perimeter of the mechanical factory via hyperspace teleportation, then defensive lines could be set up, gunships could fly in with the Iron Curtain to bombard the area, and then their squads could enter the interior to carry out decapitation strikes, and finally clean up the remaining forces.

The tactics are quite good, but the problem lies in the surrounding environment. The high concentration of Honkai energy and the radiation make it difficult for ordinary soldiers to withstand the effects for long, even with protective gear.

However, relying solely on vehicles for combat would undoubtedly weaken China's overall combat capability from an infantry perspective. Ugh, what a difficult decision...

Let the commander make the choice.

Bronya couldn't come up with a suitable solution, so she could only leave the choice to the commander. Of course, she preferred that they carry out the decapitation operation alone, but who knew if the AI ​​would escape by other means, and it was unclear whether the decapitation operation would be effective.

At that moment, the door to the room opened, and two of the three who had just left returned: Theresa and Einstein.

“Miss Bronya, we accept your request for an alliance. However, there are fewer than 100,000 survivors in our Taixu Mountain. We cannot accept your request as a nation or as a human civilization.”

"All we can say is that we, the survivors of Mount Taixu, accept your protection from China and are willing to offer you assistance."

This is indeed a very good method. Accepting shelter is equivalent to the civilian survivors of Taixu Mountain receiving help from Shenzhou and accepting Shenzhou's protection. Under Shenzhou's protection, those who still have combat capabilities need to be dispatched by Shenzhou.

The alliance is not formed on the basis of nations or any other identity within human civilization, probably because they realize they do not have the resources to do so.

After all... with three survivor camps and a total population of less than 50, it's impossible for them to form a unified country.

"I understand. Well, I just received some news that I need all the top-tier Valkyries in Mount Taixu to be ready."

"what happens?"

Upon hearing that the Valkyrie's combat power required preparation, which undoubtedly meant battle was imminent, Theresa's expression turned serious. Bronya said solemnly, "Our previous decapitation operation was indeed successful, but it left a lingering problem. The mechanical factory has now been fully rebuilt, and a large army of constructs is gathering."

"If our army were to engage in direct combat, it would be difficult to control casualties. Therefore, we believe we need to conduct a decapitation strike with our highest current combat power to completely destroy the enemy's core!"

Chapter 140: Full Power!

"Damn it, damn it! I'll make these guys pay!"

The mechanical factory tower, now freed from the control of the Void Treasury, is like a wild horse. After repairing the internal factory buildings and production equipment, it has already assembled a massive army of constructs in just a few days.

And she abandoned her original frail mechanical body. She knew very well that as long as she could capture Bronya and transfer her consciousness into Bronya's body, she would be the only Bronya in the world!

She is the real Bronya, and there can only be one Bronya in this world!

So, for this war, she created a huge mechanical body with super firepower for herself. She wanted to use her strongest form to completely wipe out those annoying human ants!

Just then, an alarm suddenly sounded over the entire mechanical city. The AI ​​quickly changed its perspective. At that moment, not far above the mechanical city, eight huge iron birds were rapidly descending.

"Attack! Take them all down! Annihilate these human invaders!"
