Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

By then, the Herrscher Core will be within reach."

As he spoke, Kokolia, with a captivating glint in his eyes, shook hands vigorously, as if he had already grasped the Herrscher's core within the newborn Herrscher's body and was on the road to the top of this world.

And looking at Cocolia like this, Bronya fell silent again——

What Cocolia said...seems to make some sense?

However, this thought only flashed through her mind before Bronya threw it out.

After all, Cocolia was too optimistic about the plan and had not considered what to do if the plan failed.

However, before Bronya could ask, Cocolia seemed to see through her adopted daughter's thoughts and spoke first:

"Of course, I understand what you're worried about, Bronya.

It was simply that after the plan failed, they were unable to deal with the newly born Herrscher.

You don't have to worry about this -

You know, in addition to us, Anti-Entropy, there is also the power of Destiny, which occupies nearly 80% of the world's land, population and resources.

They have been in office for so many years, supported by the people, and it is time for them to fulfill their responsibilities."

"..."

Hearing Cocolia's words, Bronya's eyes widened slightly.

No, your solution is to leave the problem to fate and let the other party clean up the mess?

But looking at Bronya's expression, Cocolia just felt that she was still too childish.

The tall woman squatted down again and stroked Bronya's soft silver hair:

"Bronya, I know you may not understand your mother's plan, and I don't blame you.

I believe that as time goes by, you will gradually understand.

And now, you just need to know that everything we do is for Xier and for the future of mankind.

As for the minor casualties during this period, they are just a little bit of mud on the road to success.

For the future of humanity, for our civilization to survive that terrible collapse, those sacrifices can only be described as their fate..."

Cocolia said such nonsense that even she herself was fooled. She looked at Bronya's calm little face and sighed.

He stood up, picked up his phone, and sent a file to Bronya.

"Look at the records here, Bronya, and you'll know that compared to dying in vain, they are lucky to have contributed their lives to such an experiment."

Chapter 197 Siegfried Comes Uninvited

"I think you are crazy..."

Although she still couldn't show any expression on her face, Bronya still thought so in her heart.

However, seeing that Cocolia was so stubborn, Bronya knew that her persuasion was useless. She could only take out her mobile phone as Cocolia said and start reading the information Cocolia sent her.

Then, even Bronya now couldn't help but be shocked.

Noticing the slight change in her excellent adopted daughter's expression, Cocolia smiled with satisfaction.

"Bronya, my daughter, I can tell you without reservation that the Heavenly Father we are currently researching and manufacturing is the result of developing the technological achievements left over from previous civilizations.

Even such a brilliant and glorious civilization was defeated by the collapse.

I think, with your intelligence, you can understand what such a collapse means to human civilization today—"

Cocolia bent down again and placed one hand on Bronya's thin shoulder, as if she was carrying endless pressure on it.

"This is a necessary sacrifice for the continuation of human civilization."

"..."

Looking at Cocolia, Bronya felt that she seemed to understand what "ambition" meant.

If it were a year ago, Bronya might have chosen to scold loudly and try to wake Cocolia up.

but now……

"In that case, Bronya suggests that Mother Cocolia strengthen the protection of the orphanage."

Although she has never heard of the saying "When you are poor, you should take care of yourself; when you are rich, you should shoulder the responsibility of helping the world", but since there is no hope of changing Cocolia's mind, Bronya still wants to strengthen the protection of her friends in the orphanage.

The balance in her heart shifted quietly. Bronya looked up at her mother, Cocolia, with a stern face, and said in a serious tone:

"Since the collapse is so terrifying, the defenseless people in the orphanage need even more protection."

"Haha, don't worry."

Seeing that Bronya chose to compromise, Cocolia finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the area around the orphanage seems ordinary. However, my trusted aides are protecting it outside, and there are four Titan mechas hidden in the dark.

Unless there is a major collapse, no one can hurt the people inside."

"Well, Bronya believes in Mother Cocolia."

Bronya nodded when she heard this, but she had already started thinking in her heart what price she could sell the information in her to Gwyn.

In other words, besides these, what else does Bronya need to prepare in order to make Gwyn willing to help her rescue Seele...

While Cocolia was trying to brainwash her most intelligent and capable daughter, Gwyn also encountered an uninvited guest -

Click...

As the lock bolt retracted and the door opened, Gwen's casual expression suddenly changed -

In the living room, there was a breath of Honkai energy that was not deliberately concealed... It was not just Honkai energy, but the breath of Honkai energy belonging to someone.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Gwen pretended not to feel the atmosphere in the living room. He took off his coat and walked into the living room. He saw a middle-aged man with messy hair, unshaven beard, and who looked to be in his fifties, sitting on the sofa in the living room in a posture that could barely be considered proper.

Although he was unkempt and even had a broken arm, the middle-aged man's eyes were bright and lively. He did not look like a disabled middle-aged man at all. Instead, he looked like a young soldier in his prime and full of energy.

"I'm sorry to bother you uninvited, little Caesar."

Siegfried, who had gathered Gwen's pseudonym through the conservative intelligence network, apologized before Gwen could even ask.

"But considering that I, an old father, am concerned about my daughter, please give me some time to explain, okay?"

Although he was unkempt and had an uninhibited personality, which once made Shigure Kirara feel that Cecilia marrying him was like putting flowers on cow dung, Siegfried was not the kind of person who took being a jerk as his personality. When facing his daughter's friends, he tried to be polite.

Although his uninvited arrival today was already rude enough...

"You are... Kiana's father?"

Before entering the door, Gwyn, who was still thinking about how to get Siegfried out to contact him, frowned when he saw Siegfried suddenly appear, and touched the Moon Sky Summoner on his wrist as if subconsciously.

As he spoke, Gwen did not approach Siegfried, but pulled over a chair and sat down, facing Siegfried from a distance.

"Did you recognize it right away?

What a clever kid..."

Seeing that Gwyn had revealed his identity, Siegfried was a little surprised. Then he showed a distressed smile and scratched his hair, which was still messy even after a simple grooming.

"However, for you to be so familiar with me, it seems that my silly daughter has been complaining about me, this irresponsible and stinky dad, a lot..."

"Although I don't think Kiana is very smart, but to say that she was able to travel all the way from the Russian and European regions to Changkong City alone is stupid... hehe..."

Gwen said this with a hint of meaning, his eyes looking at Siegfried's empty sleeves.

"Besides, I don't remember Kiana saying that her irresponsible dad was a one-armed man...

Are you pretending to be disabled to appear pitiful?

still……"

Compared with Siegfried's attitude, Gwyn's attitude was quite aggressive. He held his chin high when speaking, which gave him a condescending tone.

"Ugh……"

However, Siegfried did not respond to this, but only sighed deeply and shook his head slowly.

"Whatever you think, I'm just an irresponsible father..."

Siegfried, who had already learned about Gwyn's character through various channels, was not at all annoyed by Gwyn's attitude. At this moment, the only things in his mind were the grievances Kiana had suffered along the way and the little figure that fell from the air that year.

However, Siegfried was a seasoned warrior after all, and even when he recalled the sad things, he did not show any sign of dejection. When he raised his head again, his eyes were still bright:

“Qiana and I are hiding some secrets that concern the life and death of that child, so we cannot reveal them.

The reason I hid in the dark and guided her step by step to the Far East was precisely to resolve those troubles."

Siegfried naturally understood the hint in Gwen's words, so he didn't try to hide it and said seriously,

“However, Changkong City is not her final destination.

If she wants to solve her problems, she needs to cross the ocean and go to North America on the other side of the ocean.

I am indeed an irresponsible father, but everything I did was for the child to have a better life, please believe me on this point."

Chapter 198 Siegfried: This Child is Like Me

"Just like the family and tribesmen you left behind?"

Gwyn himself did not have any temper in the face of the sincere and even humble Siegfried.

However, touching the Moon Sky Summoner on his wrist, Gwyn's mouth curled up into an unfriendly arc, and in Siegfried's stunned expression, he said slowly:

"In Holmes's eyes, you're a complete bastard, completely irresponsible and irresponsible. You've even trampled the glory left by our ancestors into pieces."

If Gwyn had taken the initiative to find Siegfried, he would certainly have found a suitable time to throw the summoner aside.

But now, with the Moon Sky Watch in hand, Gwyn's words and actions must be consistent with his behavior in front of Otto -

He showed the appropriate disgust towards Siegfried, but had to hide his identity for the sake of the mission and could only provoke him with words.

"Holse?"

Hearing the name uttered by Gwen, Siegfried, whose only remaining hand had already reached into the inner pocket of his coat, was slightly startled.

Although he hadn't heard this name in years, Siegfried still remembered it clearly. His cousin was a rather old-fashioned man who valued the honor of the Kaslana family name very much. When he was a child, he often heard him say that he must not betray the family honor...

To some extent, the other party also contributed to Siegfried's rebelliousness as a teenager.

However, as time passed, Siegfried couldn't help feeling dazed when he heard the name again.

At the same time, the hand that had already touched the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire unconsciously loosened a little.

"If it was Brother Hols... that guy who heard the news of my family's disgrace... then it's reasonable to connect it with the stinky father that Kiana mentioned. It's not impossible..."

Thinking this in his heart, Siegfried, who had quietly reduced the possibility that Gwyn was a destiny agent, had a more bitter expression on his face and asked doubtfully,

"Are you familiar with Holmes?"

"We met while fishing."

Gwyn folded his arms, leaning his upper body against the back of his chair, showing no respect for Siegfried at all.

Of course, even if he looked defenseless, once Siegfried took out the Judgment of Heavenly Fire from his pocket, Gwyn would definitely break down the door before it could hit him.

"Tsk, after all these years in the Air Force, you're still fishing there..."

Hearing this, Siegfried rolled his eyes and also put away his previous serious sitting posture, appearing very relaxed.

"air force?

You mean the Air Force?"

Gwen stared at Siegfried as if he were an idiot, but something in his heart moved——

"It seems Siegfried is not completely unaware of these tribesmen, and he even uses them to test me..."

Hols Kaslana, Siegfried's cousin, is the first Kaslana man to express his recognition of Gwyn... He is also a fisherman.
