Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

【Everyone, be careful! 】

After saying this, everyone entered the blue crack...

As the cracks open...

The group that originally entered the Anti-Entropy Orphanage together was separated at this time.

There is no doubt that there is only one place where this strange phenomenon can occur...

[This is... the Domination Theater! ]

As the light curtain disappeared, what appeared before everyone was the mysterious space that everyone had repeatedly arrived at in the previous chapter.

Domination Theater...

"How could that be? Wasn't the Ruler of Rule already defeated?"

"This...I don't understand it either..."

"No way, no way? Has the Thousand Herrscher evolved to the point where he can be resurrected infinitely?"

As comments flashed through the live broadcast room, Bronya began to analyze the current situation.

[Ah, this is really a haunted place. 】

After a brief search, Bronya discovered that everyone was separated.

This isn't that strange, as this happens every time you enter the Theater of Domination.

The only difference this time is... there is no presence of puppets in the theater.

[If I'm not mistaken, she... is somewhere here. ]

After guessing who was behind the scenes, Bronya chose to look for her target in the theater.

As she walked along the familiar theater, she heard the other person's voice in the carpeted hall as expected.

[According to the tradition of this theater, should I say... "Welcome to the Domination Theater]?"

Bronya looked in the direction where the voice came from, and indeed saw the culprit who trapped her here.

At this moment, the other party was sitting quietly on the railing of the theater stairs, controlling the silk thread, with a seductive smile on his lips.

[It's you...Rita Rossweisse! ]

That’s right, the person sitting on the railing was Rita, who had given Bronya advice not long ago.

But now, her eyes were red and her hair accessories were burning with tiny blue flames.

The armor on his body was also replaced with a special style that had never been seen before...

"Hmm~ This outfit... feels really bold, but it looks great on her!"

"Uh...is now the time to be concerned about clothes?"

When Hua's complaints floated through the live broadcast room, Rita had already started to greet Bronya.

[Rita has been waiting for you here for a long time, Lord "Ural Silver Wolf". ]

[Today we are enemies on the battlefield, so there is no need for those polite words. ]

Bronya did not appreciate Rita's seemingly flattering words.

After all, she knew that this woman's apparent respect was actually just a cover-up for her inner feelings.

[Please don't say that. My respect for Ms. Bronya is sincere, and it won't change because of our different positions.]

[Really? Then who was it that just now solemnly promised that he would not become our enemy?]

In response to Rita's response, Bronya questioned bluntly.

In response to her questioning, Rita's answer can be said to be quite...objective and fair?

[That statement is not false at all. To be precise, I don't want to be an enemy of anyone - no matter if it's against the heir or the destiny, Hyperion or Lord Otto.]

From beginning to end, Rita's position has not changed.

Just like how she had shamelessly come to Hyperion to make herself known.

To put it bluntly, she just wants to live a peaceful life...

[Rita just wants to remain neutral and fulfill her duties as a maid. ]

[Excuse me, you don't look very neutral right now. ]

[I'm sorry for giving you this impression. After leaving Hyperion, some things happened, which brought about some subtle changes in my position.]

Facing Bronya's question, Rita still responded with a smile.

But what exactly happened, Bronya had to guess for herself...

Chapter 294: Alicia: It feels like there is a backup plan? Rita: I have the advantage!

Of course, after changing her position, Rita did not choose to be hostile to everyone.

[But please rest assured, Rita has no intention of harming you. Even this doll in my hand is just a key lent to me by Lord Otto, and it has no ability to move. ]

[The true power of the Ruler has been transferred to Lord Otto. There is nothing in this Rule Theater that will actively harm you.]

After expressing her goodwill, Rita immediately made her request.

[Rita can guarantee that as long as you stay here for a while, I will respectfully escort you out.]

When Bronya heard what Rita said, she quickly realized that this woman was here to block her way.

The period of time she was referring to was undoubtedly the 12 hours later that Otto mentioned.

By then, according to the theory stated by the principal.

The current time will cease to exist, and I will return to five hundred years ago...

[Ms. Bronya has always been very smart. However... from the actual situation, maybe it won't take that long.]

[If I understand correctly, all the promises you just made are based on "we follow your arrangements." So, what if we insist on leaving?]

Of course, Bronya was not prepared to obey.

After all, the word "surrender" has never appeared in her creed - although she has rarely won since becoming a Herrscher.

"So, Bronya is going to fight Rita? You know, Rita now has the power of domination, although not much. But she can barely be considered a Herrscher. So can Bronya win this time?"

"I don't think so. After all, Bronya's record... is not that good."

"I don't think it's possible. Didn't that puppet specifically pick on this point to mock it?"

"...Hmm, this seems to be an area I don't know much about. Can anyone explain the ins and outs?"

In the live broadcast room, comments from the audience floated by...

Those new viewers are asking because they have not seen this plot.

As for the old audience, they are already familiar with Bronya's "battle record".

It was embarrassing enough that she was mocked by the puppet before: "But unfortunately, after obtaining this core, she never won a fight again."

So, now it seems obvious who will win in the battle with Rita who has the power of the Herrscher...

However, no matter how much she loses, Bronya will never give up.

That's why she made it clear that her position was to leave here.

[Then I can only forgive Rita for being rude. Unless... under certain circumstances, you have changed my opinion. ]

Rita's attitude was quite firm.

It even reminded Bronya of a note she had left not long ago.

["Dark Rose" will do her best in her last battle and live up to your expectations.]...When you left this note, you had already thought about the current development, right?]

[It is exactly as you said. This is a safe and secure solution, isn't it? ]

"Now that I hear it, it's true. It seems that Rita has a lot of little thoughts of her own~"

"But such a small thought doesn't seem to be good for either party."

"Isn't absolute neutrality the same as absolute opposition? To put it bluntly, as a chess piece, she just wants to control her own destiny."

As Rita put forward what she believed to be the "safest solution," comments of criticism immediately floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, Rita's little calculation, to put it nicely, is indeed neutral.

But to put it bluntly...she actually just wants to be a third party between the two opposing parties - commonly known as a fence-sitter.

This is naturally the best thing for her.

But for Bronya, this is her own business.

[Of course you are suitable for this plan. Under the banner of neutrality, complete Otto's mission without hurting us. This way, no matter which side wins in the end, you will not suffer any loss. ]

[But if we fail to stop Otto, everyone outside will be wiped out. ]

[Even so, you don't care? Are you willing to go to such lengths to obey Otto's orders?]

In response to Bronya's question, Rita's answer was equivalent to no answer.

[I have no comment on this. Ms. Bronya reminded me not to make a decision that would disappoint my companions - and this is Rita's decision.]

Having said that, there seems to be no need to continue.

Although the two sides do not have much hatred towards each other, their positions determine that they must decide the winner.

[No need to waste words. Bronya will not be manipulated by others, nor will she be shaken by her heart. Bronya will decide her own path... At least it will not be staying here for vacation. ]

[The secret assassin "Dark Rose", no, the destined S-class Valkyrie Rita Rossweisse...If you want to stop Bronya, you have to be serious.]

Bronya directly issued a challenge, and strictly speaking, her challenge was to Rita from two aspects.

The first is that they are both killers in the killer world, and the second is the aspect of the Destiny S-class Valkyrie and the Destiny B-class Valkyrie.

As the Dark Rose, the top assassin in the assassin world, S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, and Herrscher of Domination (fake), Rita would naturally not remain indifferent to this challenge.

[As expected, you are the unyielding Ms. Bronya. Since you, as always, refuse to accept the imposed plan... then I will have to ask for your guidance.]

Then, the battle was about to break out.

Bronya rushed over on a motorcycle and caused considerable damage to Rita at the beginning.

Of course, the armor Rita used in this battle was not the unknown armor she was wearing now.

It was the old model of Moon Knight Armor, and from then on, Bronya fully utilized the advantage of machines against biological creatures.

Soon, Rita's health dropped by one bar. However, her subsequent attacks had almost no effect...

[——The attack was deflected?]

[I'm sorry for the offense, Miss Bronya.]

Looking at the calm and composed Valkyrie in front of her, Bronya couldn't help but think of a battle plan in her mind...

(As a mortal, relying solely on the Valkyrie Armor, it is not possible to withstand all the attacks of the Herrscher of Reason... She is more accustomed to the ruthless fighting on the battlefield than Bronya. There is indeed a gap in experience and awareness between us, but this alone is not enough.)

"Uh... Why do I suddenly feel like Bronya is going to lose again~"

"Isn't this something you're used to?"

"After all, he's a Herrscher who has never won. Haha~ Is he going to be saved by Seele next?"

As Bronya showed signs of decline, comments from the audience immediately floated across the live broadcast room.

All these comments convey one message, which is that Bronya is in great danger in this battle.

Actually, there is nothing strange about this. After all...her "invincible myth" has never been broken.

However, it can be said that everyone in the live broadcast room underestimated Bronya, and also overestimated...Rita.

After all, under the halo of S-class Valkyrie, top killer, and Ruler of Herrscher (fake)... Rita is actually just an 'ordinary person'.

[(Bronya can feel that she has been using a strange power... Is it related to that?)]

[The warm-up is almost over. Ms. Bronya, is it time to show your real skills? ]

Obviously, the experienced Rita saw through the fact that Bronya was thinking of a countermeasure.

Therefore, they began to urge him to reveal his true strength...

[Sure enough, both sides still have a back-up plan. ]
