Playful! Collapse!

"Then please stay at headquarters."

Hearing Siegfried's words, Yuan Yan's expression suddenly became very serious.

"Although I have no evidence, I strongly doubt that Otto would push Kiana onto the battlefield."

"Although Branch Chief Theresa mostly obeys orders and disobeys announcements, she still can't disobey Otto when it comes to his confidential plans."

"If the situation isn't right, I'll call for help. If it's not necessary...it's best if you don't meet Kiana for now."

"Even from a utilitarian perspective—the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire is a weapon that kills both the enemy and us. If possible, I still hope that Mr. Siegfried will use his life for what it is meant to do."

"Your daughter is still waiting for you. Please don't think about wasting your life at this moment."

After listening to Yuan Yan's proposal, Siegfried scratched his head in distress and had to give up his idea of ​​going to Jiuyou.

"Okay... I'll leave Kiana's matter to you."

Now I understand why I thought our small talk felt so odd.

A person who doesn't care about his own life is telling me to cherish my life...

Well, after reading Yuan Yan’s information before, I finally understand why he is so radical.

His family died in Honkai, and he chose to rely on his own abilities to join Anti-Entropy.

I still have family and friends, but for Yuan Yan...

——Perhaps it is precisely because he does not have many people worth cherishing that he takes his life so lightly now.

Originally, Siegfried felt that his wife was already miserable enough because of being betrayed by her boss.

But now, compared with Yuan Yan, he felt that he was very lucky to have a pair of daughters.

But this can't go on.

Although Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein wouldn't joke about their medical reports, Brother Yuan Yan has now swallowed two Herrscher cores and possesses a measure of Herrscher power...

This situation is dangerous no matter how you look at it. Even if nothing happens now, something will definitely happen in the future.

He is the benefactor who told me the truth. Now, not only can I not protect my daughter, I can't even repay his kindness.

Oh, when will I be able to get rid of this damn feeling of powerlessness?

PS: 4.5K, that’s all for today.

I actually finished writing most of it in the afternoon, but a tendon in both my hands was a little painful, so I thought I could write more if I took a rest at night, but it ended up hurting even more at night, so there was nothing I could do.

Let’s see if the situation will be better tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If so, I’ll try to write more over the weekend.

Volume 1: Chapter 76. You are such a good person

Shenzhou. Jiuyou

When Bronya and Xing used Cocolia's quantum teleportation system to reach the Jiuyou area, they looked at each other at the same time.

Although Kokolia has developed a quantum teleportation system based on the X10 experimental data, the quantum teleportation system in Kokolia's hands is not stable enough because the radicals lack scientific research talents in this area.

If the Gray Snakes had not handed over their improved new system to Cocolia, the two girls who appeared in Shenzhou at this time might have had to take greater risks to reach here.

"Hmm, the first step of the plan has been successful..."

Xing took out the communicator and sent a message to Cocolia confirming that she had arrived at the mission area according to Cocolia's previous instructions. Then she suddenly spoke viciously to Bronya.

"Hey, Bronya, you have to listen to me on this mission."

"After all, if you weren't so incompetent, Mom wouldn't have returned empty-handed last time in Changkong City."

"...Bronya, remember, Mother said that Bronya would be in charge this time."

Looking at her companions in front of her, Bronya occasionally felt that a broken emotional circuit might not be a bad thing at certain times.

If her emotional circuits were normal, she might have started to feel a headache now when she saw Xing not listening to her orders.

"If you are going to disobey Mother's orders, then Bronya will have no problem handing over the command to you."

"...Tsk, you're actually using my mother to pressure me."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xing gritted his teeth and showed his weapon.

But in the end, she still didn't point the weapon at Bronya.

For Xing Maer, the orders of her adoptive mother Cocolia must be carried out.

It is precisely because of this that after Bronya moved out of Cocolia, she became much more obedient than before.

"Forget it, I'll just follow your instructions for now."

After saying this, Xing's eyes suddenly turned colder.

"I've met that traitor a few times, but I never thought he would have the guts to betray Mom."

"Although I will follow your arrangements, if I see that traitor—you won't stop me from executing him, will you?"

"Of course Bronya will stop you."

Even though Bronya's emotional circuits were broken, she still felt... a little uncomfortable after hearing what Xing said.

Now she not only feels a headache, but also feels that her blood pressure is showing signs of rising.

"Yuan Yan has gained immense power in Changkong City. If you and I encounter him, it would be best to retreat immediately."

"Before he gained the power of the Herrscher, he had strength beyond yours. Now he is the Herrscher of Thunder. If you face him..."

"Without further ado!"

Listening to Bronya's explanation, Xing said to Bronya impatiently.

"You're talking so much nonsense about executing a traitor. Last time at Me Club, you didn't kill him because you'd already betrayed your mother, right?"

"How can this be--"

"——If you haven't betrayed me, then shut up!"

After rudely interrupting Bronya's explanation, the impatience in her almond-shaped eyes became even more severe than before.

"That's enough! You won't even allow the execution of a traitor—no matter how powerful he is, he can't use it in front of me!"

"If you're really scared, then just hide behind me!"

Seeing Xing taking action so brazenly, Bronya felt that her headache was really coming on.

There were only two of them on this mission, not because Cocolia couldn't spare a Titan mecha.

However, considering that their mission this time was only to release Chi You, having fewer troops when it was not necessary would make them move less quietly, so Cocolia did not let them bring the mecha to Jiuyou.

As a result, Xing, who was walking in front, seemed to have forgotten Cocolia's orders and was walking forward in a swagger.

In this situation, Bronya highly suspected that even without the Titan mecha, the probability of them being discovered by Shenzhou and Tianming would increase significantly with Xing's actions.

In addition, Xin Zaixing's mental state was worse than before, and Bronya now felt that her head seemed to hurt more than before.

Her IQ is indeed much higher than that of the average person, but some situations cannot be solved by just having a high IQ.

In the current situation, with the current military strength, they are already at a disadvantage.

Even though they could always contact Cocolia to send Titans to protect them, the problem was...

Bronya was very suspicious that Yuan Yan would also appear in the Jiuyou area.

Yuan Yan, who was in Changkong City at the time, did something when he was traveling from the suburbs to the central area of ​​the city.

He just raised his hand, and the Titans on both sides who were fighting in a group stopped fighting as if they were surrendering to him.

Although these Titan mechas lost control and were eventually recovered by conservatives, Cocolia still preserved the combat footage of the mechas before they were recovered.

After watching this video, Bronya suspected that the mecha on her side had encountered Yuan Yan and might be easily controlled by Yuan Yan as before.

Although Cocolia seemed to have a deal with others and was willing to provide them with sufficiently strong troops, Bronya knew very well that outsiders were unreliable.

But the people on her side are also unreliable.

There's really no other way, now...ah, this is the only way.

"Sister Xing."

After hearing this name, Xing suddenly stopped and looked back at Bronya in disbelief.

"What did you call me?"

"Sister Xing, I'm sorry, Bronya was wrong."

Seeing that Bronya actually took the initiative to admit her mistake in front of her, Xing blinked in disbelief and suddenly burst into a funny laugh.

"Hehehe, you're smart—tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"Sister Xing is right. That traitor is indeed our target for execution."

"But, Mother is someone who does great things. Bronya thinks that Mother might want us to do our job first before executing the traitor."

“…That’s true.”

After Bronya said a few soft words, Xing, who was successfully flattered by Bronya, showed a helpless expression.

"Okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you."

"Then it's up to you. Let's finish mom's task first. After all, I'm the older sister, so I have to give in to my younger sister."

Ah, it worked.

Although Xing is emotionally unstable, it seems that the old tricks still work on her.

Sigh, I just don't know how long she can remain stable like this. If her mental state becomes unstable later...

At that time, I think it would be better for mother to call her back.

................................................

At the same time, the entrance to Jiuyou

At the entrance of Jiuyou, Theresa, who had left the warship and arrived here, brought a group of Valkyries under her command and looked at the martial artists from Shenzhou who had been stationed here in advance.

"Ms. Apokalis, I've long heard of you."

The young swordsman in the lead nodded slightly to Theresa.

"I am Li Pu from the Taixu Sword Sect. I have been waiting for you here for a long time under the orders of the Sect Master."

"Ah, Li Pu... Never mind, those names are too troublesome, I'll just call you Li Pu."

Theresa, who didn't want to pay any attention to these negotiations, asked the swordsman in front of her.

"What's Jiuyou's situation now?"

"Before contacting Tianming, we had already planned to explore the Nine Netherworld several times. Unfortunately, our people's Honkai resistance might not be strong enough. Before we reached the depths of the Nine Netherworld, most of our fellow disciples were already unable to continue."

"Hmm, I see..."

Come to think of it, if they could have taken all the inheritance left by the Chinese heroes for themselves, they would definitely not have asked us to come and help.

After all, since we came to help, they want a share from us. It is definitely better to eat alone than to reward our allies.

Seeing that Theresa was not about to say anything more, the swordsman named Li Pu continued to speak to Theresa.

"The leader attaches great importance to this cooperation, so the fellow disciples behind me this time are already the sharpest swordsmen in our sect."

"For the follow-up operations, we will leave some people to guard the entrance, and the rest will enter the Nine Netherworld with your troops."

Although the other party's attitude was very polite, Theresa was Kaslana after all, and her intuition was accurate most of the time.

Now, her intuition was telling her that the other party was only being polite verbally, and that this was not actually a discussion but a notification.

But after hearing this news, Theresa couldn't think of anything else.

She knew very well that she was not good at thinking, so after confirming that Li Pu had nothing else to say, she immediately contacted Ji Zi, who was on standby and in charge of command in Hyperion, and asked her to help analyze what to do now.

After about a few minutes, Theresa saw the text message sent by Jizi.

[Currently, there is nothing wrong with Shenzhou's actions.]

[The fact that they wanted to assert their sovereignty was within my expectations. After all, while Shenzhou might not be as powerful as Tianming, it's still a significant force.]

[For the past five hundred years, Tianming and Shenzhou have not interfered with each other. Under such circumstances, it is normal for them to do this.]
