Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

Topa smiled:

"When the Antimatter Army invaded this planet, the ruler of this planet borrowed a large amount of money from the company to build a mechanical army to resist the Antimatter Army."

"After the asteroid core catastrophe, this planet lost contact with the outside world, but this debt has not disappeared."

"Now, seven hundred years have passed, and the principal and interest combined total—this. Miss Great Guardian, it's time to repay!"

"If after the disaster, the dominant civilization in this world no longer belongs to the one protected by the Great Guardian, then this debt will be written off."

"However, now, the main body of civilization in this world is still the civilization preserved by the Great Guardian, so this debt should be repaid by you!"

“But the numbers you mentioned are too huge!

Seele was indignant. Even a person like her with little education knew that the number mentioned by this man named Topa was an astronomical figure - she knew it from the pale face of Bronya!

"Giving up freedom and becoming a labor force for a powerful group is not a bad choice when there is no other choice. Fortunately, Beloberg still has a choice."

"If you are willing to agree to my terms, I can help you pay off the debt that Beloberg owes the company."

Just then, a red-haired figure appeared at the door of the Great Guardian Room. The familiar voice and words made Bronya, who had activated optical invisibility, purse her lips. Why did the captain come to join in the fun?

Looking at the red-haired man, Topa turned to look at Bronya Rand:

"Miss Great Guardian, who is this...?"

"Guests on the Starry Sky Train."

Bronya Rand seemed to know who this person was who had suddenly appeared. This was another captain she had mentioned before. Topa's eyes lit up.

"Excuse me, are you really capable of helping Yalilo deal with this matter?"

"No."

Gao Su's words made Topa wonder in his heart when did an unknown passenger with joyful faith appear on the train?

"But I have the ability to resolve the source of the debt. And by the way, let me just say a few words of common courtesy. Nice to meet you, Miss Toppa."

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Nameless Guest."

After saying that, Topa smiled and looked at Gao Su dreamily. Gao Su sighed and then took off the small silver sword from his neck.

The next moment, Topal felt a violent hurricane, followed by a loud noise echoing in his ears.

As a senior executive of the "Strategic Investment Department" of Interstellar Peace Company, how could Topa not be aware of this voice?

This was the sound made when the Amber King dropped his giant hammer. Then, she heard the red-haired man's voice continue:

"For those who don't understand me, I usually use practical actions to make them understand what I mean. Miss Toppa, why not look up and see this scene that only your boss has seen."

Listening to his words, Topa raised his head and saw an amber figure appear above the planet, with a huge hammer in his hand falling down continuously.

"Topaz, here's Diamond, what happened to Beloberg? Why did the Amber King hammer down in your place!?"

Through her communication headset, she instantly heard the question from her supervisor, Diamond. Topa, who was being called by her code name, was stunned by what she saw and didn't know how to respond for a moment:

"I...I don't know, but I saw the Amber King appear outside this planet. It was caused by a red-haired man!"

Topa quickly turned the camera towards Gao Su. However, the words transmitted by Diamond made her want to escape from this planet:

"Jade, where is that red-haired man!?"

"It's right in front of me. I filmed it for you to see!"

However, Diamond's words after the silence made Topa decide to leave the planet immediately:

"I don't see anything, Topa. There's nothing in front of you."

The unknown passenger on the planet train was clearly standing right in front of him, but the company's camera, which could capture souls, couldn't even capture his figure.

Gao Su then put the necklace back on his neck and looked at Topa with a warm smile on his face:

"How is it, Ms. Toppa? Oh no, in a workplace setting, you should address someone by their title. How is it? Demand topaz."

The figure of the Amber King above her disappeared, and it was not until the cold wind from Beloberg blew past, chilling her sweat-soaked back, that she realized:

"I need to consult the company, please wait a moment."

Gao Su still had a smile on his face, and even poured her a cup of hot tea from the thermos he carried with him:

"So, can you please stop evaluating your company's assets on this planet?"

Taking the cup of hot tea, Topa warmed up his hands and body, which were cold from the sudden cold sweat.

"Okay, in exchange, can I know who you are..."

"I'm not a Star God."

Before she even asked her question, Gao Su had already given her the answer and even pointed out a clear path for her:

"But the Knower knows who I am. You can ask Him."

The tone in which he mentioned the Star God was like that of an old friend, which made Topa feel more and more pressured.

Even if we were prepared for interference from the Star Train on the way here, even if we were prepared for the new ruler of this planet to disown us.

However, the problems she encountered were far beyond her expectations, and the red-haired man of the Amber Dynasty swung his hammer.

Even when she mentioned Boshi Zun, she spoke in a tone like an old friend. This person was even able to warmly pour her tea under the hammer of the Amber King. Many things were beyond her understanding:

"Of course, what I said to Bronya also applies to you. After all, everyone longs for freedom. Don't you think I'm right, Yelena?"

It was just their first meeting, but he called out his three names, which made Topa feel even colder.

Volume 2: Navigating the Galaxy: Chapter 74: The Captain's Solution

"I never thought that your solution would be this..."

Bronya Rand looked at the red-haired young man with a complicated expression as he calmly sipped hot tea from his thermos.

"And now you can tell me your price."

However, the red-haired young man took out a deep blue box and placed it on the coffee table.

"She knows, and since you two are both called Bronya, you should be able to get along. If you need anything, you can call me. I'll go out for a walk and take a look."

The Great Guardian looked at the azure box on the table, while Xier clenched her fists and called out to Gao Su:

"Hey! You! What's with all that irresponsible attitude?! What do you mean they're both called Bronnie Fin弍傘琳siIX棋叄飼亚? You caused all this trouble, so you're the one to talk!"

Then he looked at Bronya, who had released her optical invisibility.

"Don't listen too much to your captain. You should have your own opinions!"

"Okay, okay, I should say it's worthy of being Xier."

Gao Su showed a helpless smile on his face, and then sat back on the sofa, sitting next to Bronya:

"This is the core of the star..."

"I won't do that."

The fatigue from dealing with heavy tasks for days still couldn't hide the resolute brilliance in the eyes of this great guardian. Gao Su pressed his hand:

"Just listen to me first, okay? I haven't finished yet. I've already purified the star core. It's now something that can improve a person's strength."

"The price you pay is the same kind of problems you face for living long enough."

However, Bronya Rand shook her head:

"Each generation has its own affairs. I cannot let the future of the people on this planet be delayed because of a temporary situation."

"I'm not sure if I'll be as decisive as I am today in the future. People change, whether due to internal or external factors."

Bronya Rand was well aware of the lessons her mother had taught her, and she would not repeat the same mistakes. Gao Su stood up and put the azure box into his pocket.

"I always respect people's choices, but there are some things I need to tell you."

"After all, one of my favorite things is to take away the surplus and give to the deficit. I want to negotiate with businessmen and maximize my own benefits."

"Then you need to have the same information as the merchants. Let me tell you something: rebuilding the planet's ecology, a project of such a large scale, inevitably comes with risks."

"Companies aren't the gods they claim to be. Their success rate in truly reviving a planet with their so-called technological support is only 63 percent."

"And the overall success rate of projects handled by Topa himself is over 80 percent. This is essentially the profit created by businessmen exploiting information asymmetry."

"In other words, the contract she gave you was nothing more than a ticket to a casino."

"Of course, if you're like your mother, Cocolia Rand, and have no choice, the company's suggestion is a good idea, but now, you have a better choice."

As he spoke, Gao Su looked at Bronya beside him:

"Captain's Order: Authorization for the activation of the Divine Key, code 4."

The next moment, Bronya Rand and Seele saw Bronya, who was still drinking tea silently, immediately stand up:

"Yes, Captain."

"As for the negotiations with the company, you are fully responsible for it. I will not interfere in the internal affairs of your planet."

After finishing everything, Gao Su stood up and adjusted the white captain's uniform he wore like a cloak.

"Leave the rest to Bronya. She can handle it. I'm going back to the train."

As he spoke, he turned into crystal purple particles and dissipated. Seele looked at Bronya, who was standing solemnly below, with a strange expression on her face:

"What is your relationship with your man?"

"I'm the Valkyrie on his ship, and he's my captain. That's all. What I just said was just official business."

Bronya looked at Seele on this planet, and then continued:

"He holds me in his arms, loves me deeply, and protects me. I am willing to cover my eyes and not tell whether he is a human or a ghost."

"Whether he treats me sincerely or perfunctorily, my heart is as clear as a mirror. I only pretend to be stupid for a while because I like it. It's not that I have lost my own opinion and become a doddering captain."

These words surprised both the Great Guardian and Seele. Then, they heard Bronya continue:

"Even though the captain's regulations include the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, I still choose to help you."

"The Captain often said that destiny is in the hands of humankind from the moment of birth. Even gods are but one of the countless living beings."

"It was the people themselves who bestowed upon this extraordinary being the title of 'God'. The Captain often said, 'The iron must be strong itself to forge iron.'"

Bronya touched the cold iron block in her pocket. She knew what was inside: the core of the Fourth Herrscher, which was transformed from a star core.

"The information your captain brought me made me understand one thing: no matter how beautiful the other party's promises are, this contract represents a gamble."

"As a leader, I absolutely cannot sign an indenture on behalf of the entire city simply because I believe in the stars."

"Your captain is right. We won't be using the technology of companies like Jibing anymore. We need to develop our own technology."

The High Guardian thought of the information reported by the Silvermane Iron Guards and the Scouting Officer Jeppard Landau.

Previously, she had ordered Jeppard to lead the Silvermane Guards and the automated mecha defense line to garrison Rivet Town to prevent the infiltration of the Interstellar Peace Company.

The defense went smoothly at first, until Topa herself appeared. She seemed to possess some special technology and instantly seized control of all the other mechas.

"You have to understand one thing: the future of an individual should be determined by itself, not by those who seek to exploit it. This applies even to the planet itself."

Bronya nodded, and then continued:

"I need to go to the lower area. There are important materials there to build machinery to help you restore the ecology."

"Want me to help?"

Bronya glanced at Seele's kindness. How could she not know what Seele was thinking? She only heard her say:

"I think the Great Guardian needs your help more than I do right now. Seele, please assist her. The Great Guardian protects Beloberg, but no one has ever come to protect them."

Volume 2: Traveling in the Galaxy: Chapter 75: You Don’t Know You’re Wrong, You Just Know You’re Going to Die

"Bronya, the train crew can help me out in my immediate need and provide us with timely assistance, but we have to put the icing on the cake ourselves."

After Bronya left, Seele looked at the Great Guardian who was sitting in a chair, rubbing his temples tiredly and said, leaning back in the chair, the Great Guardian opened his eyes:

"Of course I understand. Whether it's that captain or the other Bronya, they are all like this."

"After all, the people from the Star Train just saved the world. I trust them unconditionally."

Xier frowned:

"Why did the company come to collect the debt at this very moment? Why didn't they come earlier or later, but right when we were rebuilding?"

"Who knows?"
