Collapse, I save everything alone

If Mingyu and Feiyumaru had not helped him modify the biochip in advance, he would probably have become a puppet without self-awareness.

"...Bronya, Seele, and Rosaria, are they just tools for you to pursue strength and power?"

The silver-haired girl closed her eyes and asked in some pain.

——If Cocolia didn't do this, Bronya might still have a glimmer of hope for her, thinking that she wasn't that bad yet.

If Cocolia didn't do this, Bronya might have softened her heart and pleaded with Mingyu and Mei, hoping to spare her life.

But now, she has completely recognized Cocolia.

"No, it's impossible. Why would it be...! Take over, take over, take over!!"

Cocolia had no time to care about Bronya's sadness and confusion, she just screamed almost hysterically.

After so many years, she once again felt the approach of death.

It was such a familiar yet strange feeling that made her lose her rationality.

Faced with the approaching silver-haired girl, she instinctively rolled and crawled on the snow, trying to get as far away from her as possible.

But no matter how hard they struggle, it is all in vain for those who are forced into a desperate situation.

Bronya saw all of Cocolia's ugly behaviors.

"..."

Bronya suddenly felt a little emotional.

In the past, she met her because of the mission to assassinate Cocolia, and now, the same "mission" is about to end.

At that time, Kokolia was still an excellent fighter and could easily detect and stop him.

Today, she is no longer good at fighting, and has lost her former sharpness, as well as her former... kindness and gentleness.

The silver-haired girl raised her pistol and pointed it at Cocolia in front of her.

Although there was no emotion changing on her face, the girl's hand holding the gun was still shaking slightly.

"Oh right... Seele, Seele! Bronya, if you kill me, Seele will never be able to come back from the Quantum Sea!"

In order to stop Bronya's behavior, Cocolia, who was desperate, had to bring out her other daughter.

She knew that among all the children in the orphanage, the one who had the best relationship with Bronya was Seele.

If they want to rescue Seele, they must rely on her technology and that of the World Serpent, and they must rely on the Eye of the Abyss which can open the portal to the Quantum Sea.

However, Bronya replied calmly:

"...You may not know this yet, but Xi'er has been rescued."

When she was communicating with Cocolia in the past, she had always kept Xier's affairs well hidden and did not let Cocolia know that she had returned.

"Varied……"

As expected, Cocolia showed a look of astonishment.

Impossible, impossible, impossible.

This was the word that had appeared in her mind the most times from just now until now.

Today, so many things happened that were beyond her expectations.

However, now was not the time to be surprised or confused. Facing the dark muzzle raised by the girl, she finally struggled:

"Bronya, do you really want to kill your mother who has raised you and saved you from that sea of ​​suffering? Seele will hate you!"

Bronya just pulled the trigger silently.

A few crisp gunshots were heard, and a few more bloodstains appeared on the snow.

Following closely was Cocolia's painful voice.

The silver-haired girl looked at her struggling on the ground and whispered:

"You are wrong... Bronya will not kill you. The power to kill you should be given to them who were framed by you."

As Bronya finished her words, Mingyu and Mei also fell from the sky and landed on the snowy ground.

He was not the only victim of Cocolia's abuse.

"Bronya..."

The purple-haired girl came to Bronya's side.

She looked at the blonde woman struggling on the ground and asked in a low voice:

"She is... Cocolia?"

For Mei, it was the first time she met the culprit who destroyed her family.

"Yes, that's right, it's her."

Mingyu nodded.

Bronya was sent to this nearby area in advance so that she could catch Cocolia who might not have died after the spaceship crashed.

In this way, the source of all evil of anti-entropy finally fell into his hands.

The first life-and-death disaster he encountered after coming to this world was caused by her. Now, the time for revenge has finally come.

"You have brutally killed millions of people...but now that you are about to die, are you still afraid?"

He glanced at the blonde woman lying in the snow and a pool of blood. She was dying and could only instinctively say these words of begging for mercy.

Mingyu sighed, then said to the girl beside him:

"Mei, go ahead and make this all end."

He handed the task of the final blow to Mei.

As the one who was most persecuted by Cocolia, she deserves this qualification.

"……Um."

Taking a deep breath, Mei raised the blade in her hand.

Endless lightning gathered on her sword blade, condensing into a terrifying aura.

This sword was for her father, Lei Dian Long Ma, for those innocent ordinary people in Changkong City, for Ming Yu, and also for... herself.

The symphony of thunder completely drowned out Cocolia's pleading for mercy. In the last scene of her life, she only saw the lightning of punishment coming towards her.

And after that, there was no trace of the body left.

Chapter 157 Tomb

After the mighty sword strike, there was nothing left in front of Mei, whether it was the snow, the wreckage of the spaceship or Cocolia, they had all disappeared. The ground under her feet was cut open, forming a smooth gully.

Mei didn't feel the joy of revenge in her heart, but a feeling of finally being liberated.

The culprit who destroyed her family and rewrote her life died under her knife.

The power born out of her conspiracy eventually became the reason for her life to disappear. This can also be considered a kind of cause and effect.

Mingyu glanced at the large crack that was cut by Mei.

What is "The Sword of No Thought"...

He had already used up 80% of his strength after he and Mei fired that railgun plus that spanned dozens of kilometers, but it was obvious that Mei still had more than enough.

It must be said that the Herrscher-level Honkai energy reserve is really enviable. If he had Mei's "mana"...

After being envious for two seconds, Mingyu took action.

In addition to Cocolia, there is actually another survivor at the scene, and we have to deal with it first.

Let Mei stay where she is to accompany Bronya for the time being, Mingyu flashed to the other side of the spaceship wreckage.

He could feel that Gray Snake was a very lucky guy as he did not die in the spaceship crash.

This group of guys who were accidentally born because of Mobius's experiment... are indeed very tenacious in terms of vitality. At the end of the last civilization era, they didn't even rely on the hibernation chamber of the Fifth God's Key, but relied solely on their own vitality to withstand the attack of the Doom that destroyed the surface.

In other words, every gray snake that has survived to the present has a long life experience like the pioneers of the previous civilization. Even considering that there is no assistance from the hibernation chamber, the real life is even longer than theirs.

It was just a spaceship crash, which didn't even kill Cocolia, let alone take their lives.

Soon, Mingyu saw the gray snake, which was running at full speed on the snow, trying to leave the area.

The pitch-black gray snake was too dazzling on the pure white snow.

Mingyu stretched out his hand and exerted control over it. Under the influence of electromagnetic force, the fleeing gray snake gradually became unable to move and was forced to stop.

——The transformation of his body into one containing a large number of mechanical prostheses has such a defect. For him who can control electromagnetism, it is very easy to sense the existence of the gray snake and restrict its ability to move.

Then, Mingyu took a light step and jumped in front of the gray snake.

Knowing that he could not escape, the gray snake stopped struggling and turned around and said:

"Ming Yu, a student of Saint Freya Academy, a survivor of the third collapse... We ignored you before."

By focusing too much on the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei herself, they overlooked the real threat that seemed insignificant.

It was very sure that the main force that destroyed their and Cocolia's plan to capture the Herrscher of Thunder was not the Herrscher of Thunder himself, nor Bronya, but the young man in front of it.

——This is the skill of observing people that its long life has given it.

Gray Snake continued:

"...Snakes are not creatures that fear death. One day we will dig out your secrets and bury you."

Now that it is known that Mingyu is not a simple person, the World Snake will also start paying attention to him.

Although it will definitely die here, the "Gray Snake" will not die, and the information about Mingyu will continue to circulate. After that, the World Snake will no longer ignore Mingyu and will keep a close eye on and investigate him.

"Is this threatening me?"

Mingyu smiled and pointed a finger at the gray snake's chest:

"Unfortunately, I am not afraid of your threats. Besides, maybe in the near future, you will treat me as a guest of honor."

"What do you mean..."

This gray snake did not understand the meaning of Mingyu's words, nor did it have the chance to understand it.

A hole pierced by thunder appeared on its chest, taking away the long life of this artificial life.

"Huh... In this case, this incident is completely over."

Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Not even a trace of Cocolia was left, and the gray snake that had cooperated with her had also been dealt with.

Next, there is some cleanup work to do.

The death of Cocolia and the return of Raiden Ryuma are bound to bring new changes to the subsequent factional struggles within Anti-Entropy.

The death of the leader of the reformists and her secret cooperation and communication with the World Serpent were enough to allow the conservatives led by Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla to regain the upper hand.

Anti-entropy, which had once gone astray, is probably finally getting back on track.

Of course, these things actually have little to do with Mingyu.

For him, the biggest impact of Cocolia's death was probably what happened next with Wendy.

The girl far away in Oceania was eroded by the desire gem and gradually began to develop malice towards destiny and humans, almost going berserk, and eventually leading to the outbreak of the fourth collapse.

In the original time, after some efforts, Kiana and the others had basically persuaded Wendy, allowing her human side to overcome the malice in her heart again. However, Cocolia suddenly interfered and used the biochip in Bronya's head to forcibly control her to attack Wendy and captured Wendy and Mei, eventually leading to the death of the girl.

Now that Cocolia is dead, Wendy's matter may see a big turn for the better. The Fourth Herrscher... may become a Herrscher who fights for humanity like Mei.

Well, Mingyu still hasn't forgotten his ultimate goal - to safely spend the end of the world with Kiana and the others. It would be even better if they could achieve a better ending than the original one.

Before that moment comes, it never hurts to have as much combat power on the human side as possible.

After cleaning up the gray snake, Mingyu returned to the two girls.

Bronya had remained motionless and silent since the beginning.

Although she usually doesn't talk much, her current state is obviously a little abnormal.

Mingyu glanced at the silver-haired girl and said to Mei:

"Mei, you go back to Uncle Ryoma first. Bronya and I will go back later."
