Collapse, I save everything alone

Mingyu took a look at the Honkai beasts that were knocked to the ground, then raised his head and looked around, as if looking for someone.

There are only a few people active in Changkong City who can defeat the Honkai beast.

Kiana, Mei, Raven and...

Kiana probably only has a baseball bat and a pistol on hand. Mei, as a Herrscher, can't possibly be here. Raven... doesn't seem to be able to inflict this kind of wound either.

So there is only one answer.

A silver-haired girl appeared within sight.

Her feet were not touching the ground, but she was floating gently, holding a Houm doll in her hands, looking over here quietly.

Behind her, one could vaguely see the outline of some huge mechanical device.

Presumably, these defeated Honkai beasts were her masterpieces.

Mingyu's eyes became a little more serious.

Bronya Zajcek.

Although she will be one of the famous three great families in the future, the successor of the Herrscher of Reason, and the prover of the famous "8＞50000" inequality...but at this point in time, this girl is still a member of Cocolia.

Although the artificial collapse here was not caused by Bronya, her current mission should be to follow Cocolia's arrangements to retrieve Raiden Mei, and she is still a member of the Anti-Entropy faction.

If anything, the role she plays here should be that of a "villain".

I can't have a conflict with her here, but to be honest... there is no point of conflict between Mingyu and him right now.

According to Mingyu's understanding, Bronya is not someone who kills indiscriminately.

Do you want to try to negotiate with her?

Of course.

Even if something unexpected really happens, this future can be avoided by going back in time. All you have to do is avoid Bronya during the next action.

Thinking of this, Mingyu lowered his head and glanced at the mechanical watch on his hand, and wrote down the time when he met Bronya.

When Mingyu and the others saw Bronya, the other party also noticed them.

"You are...survivors?"

Bronya asked in a calm voice.

Now, due to the influence of the X-10 experiment, the emotional circuits in her brain have been damaged, and she has lost the ability to perceive emotions. Her legs have also been infected by Honkai energy, so she has to rely on a mechanical exoskeleton to move.

This state of mental and physical disability was not cured until she became the Herrscher of Reason.

"Yes."

Mingyu nodded.

"..."

Bronya did not answer, but just looked at Mingyu seriously with her gray pupils.

She was observing Mingyu and Xiaokong's body shapes.

If a person has undergone combat training, the temperament and body shape he displays will be very different from those of ordinary people. She, who was trained as a boy soldier since childhood, knows this best.

Judging from their body movements and observations, these two people are indeed just ordinary people and there seems to be nothing special about them.

Therefore, Bronya ruled out the possibility that the other party was a threat.

Her top priority now is to find Mei Raiden and reclaim her. Other things are not within her consideration. She should just ignore these two survivors who she happened to meet.

Raiden Mei... the one who awakened the stigmata, we must find her and let Cocolia's mother study her, so that we can find a way to bring Seele back...

As long as she can get Xier back, she is willing to do anything.

The silver-haired girl thought mechanically in her mind.

She has no emotions anymore, and her only purpose in living now is to find Xier, with whom she grew up.

Then, Bronya looked at the young Xiaokong beside Mingyu, and her eyes softened a little.

In terms of losing her family due to the Honkai, she is no different from Raven, both are victims of the second Honkai.

Therefore, it is natural to have corresponding kindness towards such young and helpless children.

However, Mingyu felt somewhat ironic when she thought about the fact that the culprit who caused Xiaokong and the other children to lose everything was her beloved "mother" Cocolia.

Bronya handed the Hom doll in her arms to Xiaokong and said in a calm voice:

"This is for you."

"Hey... um, thank you, sister."

Xiaokong took the Houm doll and said with some surprise.

Feeling the still warm touch of the doll, my depressed mood caused by the major misfortune was slightly soothed.

Of course, she also likes this soft yellow rabbit doll.

In the world of Collapse, this yellow Horum doll has an inexplicable attraction to beautiful girls. From the future Bishop of Destiny and the Ruler of Reason to ordinary civilian girls, there is no one who doesn't like Horum. It can be said to be a real heartthrob.

Of course, Mingyu didn't have any feelings for this doll...

What's so cute about this silly-looking yellow doll?

Then, Bronya pointed to the east and suggested to Mingyu and Xiaokong:

"You guys should quickly find a place to take shelter. There are fewer Honkai beasts over there."

As for herself, she still had to look for the third Herrscher, Raiden Mei.

Because the concentration of Honkai energy in Changkong City has reached a certain level, it can be said that high concentrations of Honkai energy are everywhere. Bronya has no way to locate the position of Raiden Mei through the Honkai energy sensing device.

Although Cocolia released the Honkai energy at Senba Academy, Bronya believed that after awakening as the Third Herrscher, the unknown Mei Raiden would not necessarily stay at Senba Academy and surrender.

Considering the destruction that had spread throughout the city, Bronya deduced that the other party was probably wandering around the city.

It's just a pity that even though she had searched for Raiden Mei in the city for a long time, she still found nothing.

Mingyu looked down at the mechanical watch on his hand and made a decision.

Nearly fifty minutes had passed since leaving the cabin and meeting Bronya here, and the limit of backtracking was almost reached.

In other words, it is necessary to set up a new "save point".

None of the other routes could find a raven within an hour. Hmm... I'd better choose this route.

He confirmed the experience of meeting Bronya at the moment as reality, and recorded it again with the present time point as the source point for tracing back.

Next, he will "split his troops into two groups". On one side, he will take Sora to find a safe haven for Raven as originally planned, and on the other side, he will try to follow Bronya to find Mei Raiden to see what will happen.

Chapter 4 "I'm not Raiden Mei"

While Bronya and Mingyu were still talking, an unlucky Advance-level Honkai Beast happened to wander nearby.

It detected human presence, and so it gathered all its strength and rushed towards the direction where the three people were.

Seeing the monster appear, Xiaokong hid behind Mingyu in fear, but Bronya didn't even raise her head, and controlled the heavy-armored rabbit to shoot a laser.

With a wail, the advancing-level Honkai beast fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

It was indeed a very unfortunate thing for the Honkai beast, but for Mingyu, it was like God helping him.

——He was worried that he had no excuse to bring up the topic of Raiden Mei to Bronya.

Although he guessed that Bronya was most likely looking for Raiden Mei, if he mentioned her name so abruptly and without reason, it would be very easy for Bronya to become suspicious.

So, he had to make up an excuse.

Since I have witnessed her powerful strength with my own eyes, I want to ask her for a favor... maybe this will work.

Ming Yu took a deep breath, showed a surprised expression, and asked the silver-haired girl in front of him:

"Um, I'd like to ask, have you defeated all the Honkai beasts here?"

Bronya nodded silently, stood up and prepared to leave.

"I have a friend who seems to have some strange problems and is in some kind of crisis... I'm very worried about her and want to go see her again. Can you please help me?"

Mingyu requested in a very sincere tone.

"..."

Bronya wanted to refuse, after all, she had a very important mission to perform.

But when her grey eyes met Mingyu's 100% sincere gaze and the weak, pitiful and helpless Xiaokong beside her, she changed her words and said:

"…Who is that person and where is he?"

If it's not too far, it's okay for her to help out.

Anyway, she couldn't find Raiden Mei's location now, so it would be the same wherever she went.

It is not impossible to meet Raiden Mei on the road.

The only task that Cocolia's mother gave her was to "recover Raiden Mei", and the rest was up to her own ideas.

Seeing that Bronya did not refuse, Mingyu threw out the bait to lure her in:

"She is a student at Senba Academy and also my friend. Her name is Raiden Mei."

"...!"

For a moment, Mingyu seemed to see a flash of light in the eyes of this petite girl.

For Bronya, finding Raiden Mei is a very important thing.

The sooner we can find and recover Raiden Mei, the more likely we are to avoid interference from the Sentence Organization.

——The Far East Branch of the Mandate of Heaven still doesn’t know when it will arrange for the Valkyrie to come and defeat the Herrscher, so she must act as soon as possible.

"When I escaped, she was still in Chiba Academy... She should still be there now, right?"

Mingyu said in an uncertain tone.

After Cocolia released Honkai energy, causing the power of the Third Herrscher to fully awaken, the girl did not leave Senba Academy to wreak havoc in the city.

On the contrary, she chose to stay inside Qianyu Academy to avoid her presence spreading to a larger area and causing more damage.

In other words, the current invasion of Honkai beasts in Changkong City is merely the aftermath of her awakening of power.

If the Herrscher of Thunder really intended to carry out large-scale destruction, then this Changkong City would probably have been completely reduced to ruins long ago, and it would not have been his turn to survive here.

Well, of course, if he guessed wrong, and the Herrscher of Lightning was not in Senba Academy for some reason, then he could just use backtracking to erase this future and then look for Mei's location again.

"...Bronya promised you that she would take you to find her."

The girl said silently.

Because of her special speaking habit, Mingyu skipped the step of pretending to ask her name.

Now he really doesn't know what the situation is at Senba Academy, for example, whether Kiana has already found Mei Raiden and started "exchanging hearts through martial arts".

If I could catch up, it would be a feasible option to sneak into St. Freya Academy with the three major families.

Regardless of whether it works or not, it is always a good idea to have more information and intelligence at the moment, leaving yourself with more feasible options and more paths to choose from.

Now Mingyu can only explore a limited scope on his own, so he needs to rely on Bronya to see a wider world.

Now that we have the ability to go back in time, we should make the best use of it.

"...But, Bronya cannot guarantee your safety. Your friend is probably in a bad situation right now."

Bronya then added.

Her mission is to find and retrieve the Third Herrscher. Considering the influence that being currently displays in Changkong City, a fierce battle is likely to break out when they meet.

Putting aside herself, she has already put life and death aside. In her eyes, Mingyu is just an ordinary person and it would be difficult for him to survive a battle of that magnitude.

"You don't have to worry about that. Um... I must see her."
