Collapse, I save everything alone

Seeing that Mingyu was very persistent, Bronya didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.

Then she called softly:

"Reload bunny."

The huge robot, which originally had only a vague transparent outline, suddenly removed its disguise and showed its complete posture in front of the two people.

Mingyu, who had known about its existence for a long time, did not show any special emotions. Instead, Xiaokong next to him once again showed a look of surprise.

This kind of thing, which she had only seen in cartoons in the past - such as the mecha in the famous "Alahato" series, actually appeared in reality.

Bronya skillfully sat on one of Usagi's giant hands, and at the same time controlled the other giant hand to come in front of Sora, and then said:

"Bronya, take her to a safe place first, and then come pick you up."

Ming Yu also leaned over and touched the purple-haired girl's head, and whispered:

"Xiao Kong, just hide in a safe place. Big brother will be back soon."

Judging from the current situation, in the East City District of Changkong City, not only is Raven rescuing injured children, but Bronya, who passed by here looking for the third Herrscher, also defeated many Honkai beasts. This area is indeed a relatively safe place.

"I...I'll wait for you to come back..."

The purple-haired girl nodded obediently and sat down on the other giant hand of the heavy-duty bunny.

The heavily-armored rabbit quickly took off into the air, carrying the two of them towards the east.

Bronya was very efficient. About five minutes later, she flew back by herself controlling the Heavy Armored Bunny and signaled Mingyu to also take over the Heavy Armored Bunny.

Then, Mingyu stepped onto the other hand of the Heavy-Armored Bunny, and under the girl's control, the two were taken into the air.

The heavily-armored little rabbit opened fire at full power, a beam of light streaked across the sky, and flew towards the direction of Qianyu Academy in a hurry.

Because it was moving at high altitude, it avoided interference from most Honkai beasts. Even if they noticed the movement, it would be difficult for them to reach it.

Occasionally, there are types that can fly in the air, but they cannot catch up with the heavy-armored rabbit moving at full speed.

Soon, the destination was in sight.

This large aristocratic girls' school located on the outskirts of Changkong City was once the dream school for all the girls in Changkong City, and even ordinary girls in other parts of the Far East.

Even among the people of the Far East, there is a saying that "as long as you enter Senba Academy, your life will be smooth sailing."

But now, it has long lost its former glory, and only an indescribable dark purple light flows throughout the academy.

That is probably a force that is difficult for the Ruler of Thunder to suppress.

The closer Mingyu got to Qianyu Academy, the more physical discomfort he began to feel.

——The closer to the Herrscher, the higher the concentration of Honkai energy. He looked at his arm and it seemed that there were faint lines of Honkai energy spreading out.

With his current Honkai resistance, it seems that he cannot stay in an environment of this intensity for too long.

Enduring the discomfort, Mingyu held the arm of the heavily armed bunny and looked down.

As the birthplace of the Herrscher of Thunder, and also the place where Cocolia released a large amount of Honkai energy, there is almost no life here, and it has suffered the greatest degree of damage from the Herrscher.

A large number of Honkai beasts and death warriors gathered spontaneously in this academy. Fortunately, this was an aristocratic academy invested by ME Company, and its area was extremely large, so it could accommodate so many monsters roaming around.

Mingyu's gaze kept moving between the rooftops, and soon he found the figure of Raiden Mei.

She stood alone on the platform. There was no one around her and there seemed to be no signs of fighting.

Kiana hasn't appeared yet... Does that mean that the time he and Bronya arrived here was too "early"?

Kiana was probably still holding a baseball bat and trying to survive in Chiba Academy.

What would happen if Bronya came into contact with Raiden Mei before Kiana brought her consciousness back?

Bronya also discovered the other party's figure at the same time, and controlled the heavy-armored rabbit to begin to descend.

"Mei...how is she doing now?"

Ming Yu asked Bronya in a worried tone.

"…You'd better not get close to her now. The threat level is judged to be extremely high."

Bronya warned in a calm voice.

This is a friendly reminder and also a fact.

Bronya first put Mingyu on the roof of a nearby floor, and then came to Raiden Mei alone.

The black-haired girl standing in front of her was indeed the real Mei Raiden, but her scarlet eyes proved that the personality occupying this body at this moment was not "Mei Raiden" but "Hersher of Thunder".

Despite this, she just stood there, saying nothing, and seemed to have no intention of launching an attack.

"It seems that she doesn't want to hurt others..."

Mingyu pondered.

Although the impression is that this "Hersher of Thunder" has a bad temper, judging from the fact that she has always "sealed" herself in Senba Academy and did not take the initiative to attack him and Bronya, she has not become a puppet of Honkai, wantonly destroying, and does not have a strong desire for destruction.

The black-haired girl looked at Mingyu and Bronya with her scarlet eyes.

Bronya took the lead in negotiating:

"Raiden Mei... I hope you can go with Bronya."

Hearing this name, an indescribable emotion flashed in the black-haired girl's eyes, and lightning flashed around her body.

Then, she shook her head and denied:

"I'm not Raiden Mei."

"...?"

Bronya tilted her head slightly.

Although they were both members of Anti-Entropy in theory, she had never met Mei Raiden before.

In the past, she had stayed in an orphanage in Siberia, living with other children and receiving training and experiments from Mother Kokolia;

And this Mei Raiden... the daughter of executive officer Ryoma Raiden, has always lived in this far east. The two have never met each other and never had the opportunity to communicate, and each has a completely different life.

However, before coming to Changkong City to carry out the mission, Bronya had already read the information about Raiden Mei and also entered Raiden Mei's photo into the database of Heavy Armor Usagi.

After comparison, the black-haired girl in front of him is definitely Mei Raiden.

"No matter what, Bronya needs to take you away from here, no matter...whatever the method."

A glimmer of light appeared in Bronya's gray eyes, which had been calm until now, and the huge mecha behind her was ready to go.

She is actually not that good at negotiation, and having been trained as a young soldier and killer, she is more inclined to use violence to solve problems.

For her, the last hope of saving the disappeared Xi'er is now right in front of her.

Even if she has to use force, she must bring Raiden Mei back to Anti-Entropy and back to Cocolia's laboratory.

The plan has been adjusted. Now, we need to make Raiden Mei lose her fighting power and make her surrender.

"Just you?"

Sensing Bronya's hostility, the black-haired girl sneered, and countless lightning bolts began to bloom around her. Half of the purple wings formed by pure Honkai energy emerged, and the pressure at the level of a Herrscher was revealed.

It was obvious that a fierce battle was about to break out between the two girls.

Bronya slowly floated up, and the heavily armed bunny behind her activated all its attack modules.

"Target locked, heavily armed Bunny 19C, fully deployed!"

Following her order, countless artillery and lasers fired from the heavily-armored bunny.

However, all the attacks were blocked by the electromagnetic barrier she generated before reaching the opponent, and after a burst of thick smoke, she was still unharmed.

Then, the black-haired girl's eyes brightened, and she swung a bolt of lightning with one hand to counterattack, shooting directly at Bronya:

"Who allowed you to... be above me?"

Chapter 5: Divergent Route: Bronya's Death

Bronya miscalculated one thing.

Even though she has been training her fighting skills and Honkai control ability, and even though she has a combat mecha like the Heavy-Armored Bunny 19C, which allows her to easily defeat ordinary Honkai beasts and dead soldiers, and easily deal with ordinary people——

However, there is still a considerable gap between her and a true Herrscher.

She really had no reasonable understanding of how strong the Herrscher was.

After all, when the previous Herrscher, the Second Herrscher, was destroying the world, she had not even been born into this world.

As for the combat capabilities of the Herrscher, she had only occasionally heard some rumors from her mother Cocolia, who had personally experienced the second Honkai crisis.

——One of its abilities is the ability to summon a large number of Honkai beasts to cause destruction in a large area.

It is said that during the second collapse that year, the Second Herrscher summoned more than 500,000 Honkai beasts throughout Siberia.

As for other information... there was none, and her mother Cocolia had never seen the Second Herrscher with her own eyes.

Although there is also a First Herrscher, their Anti-Entropy leader Walter Yang, Bronya has never seen him take action.

Therefore, this battle against Mei Raiden is her first real confrontation with the Herrscher.

The combat power displayed by the Third Herrscher far exceeded Bronya's imagination.

That is definitely not something that humans can possess, the ability to control lightning with just the physical body.

And, most importantly, the compatibility between her abilities and those of the Third Herrscher... is simply too poor.

"Is this mechanical doll all you can rely on?"

Following the black-haired girl's sarcastic cry, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the huge mecha behind Bronya.

The excessive current disrupted the normal operation of the Heavy-Armored Rabbit, destroyed its internal circuits, and caused it to fall to the ground on the spot, unable to get up again.

——Her ability to control lightning and electromagnetic fields made it difficult for her to deal with it.

"..."

Without much hesitation, Bronya immediately bent down, took out a dagger from the side of her mechanical exoskeleton, and then rushed towards Raiden Mei.

Even if she lost the Heavy-Armored Bunny, she still had other combat capabilities, such as the close combat skills as a special forces soldier.

She had been observing the opponent's action patterns. From the beginning, the Third Herrscher had only been using the method of summoning lightning or shooting lightning to carry out long-range attacks.

If we can drag the battle into close combat, we might be able to gain a chance.

A real fight is not simply a contest of strength. Even if the opponent is much stronger than you, there is still a chance to win the big with the small.

However, just as Bronya rushed towards the black-haired girl, the other party condensed lightning in her palm and instantly constructed a katana.

…Is she also good at close combat with weapons?

Bronya had clearly read the life record of Raiden Mei. She had always lived in a big city in the Far East and was well protected. She was not forced to learn various killing techniques since childhood like herself.

Before she could think too much, Bronya's dagger collided with the katana wrapped in lightning.

With just one move, she was knocked flying and fell heavily on the wall of the platform. At the same time as the wall cracked, the electric current transmitted to her body at this moment also greatly paralyzed her body.

Even so, Bronya still adjusted her state and tried to attack again while enduring the pain.

"……snort."

The black-haired girl snorted and shifted her gaze to Bronya's legs.

This overconfident insect probably relies on these machines to keep moving.

As she thought about it, two electric currents hit Bronya's legs, destroying the function of the mechanical exoskeleton.

Then, Bronya fell to the ground with a thump.

——After losing the exoskeleton that assisted her in movement, she couldn’t even move normally.

"Bronya, hold on for a few more minutes! I've arranged for tactical mechas to go and support you! They'll be there soon!"

Through the biochip implanted in the brain, Cocolia's voice was transmitted to Bronya's ears.

Titan mecha... the crystallization of Anti-Entropy's proud technology...
