The Invincible Kiana Falls

"She disappeared because of the X10 Experiment, and your body also suffered problems because of the X10 Experiment. So now, clever Miss Bronya Zaychek, can you tell this foolish idiot..."

Who was the person who carried out the X10 Experiment, leading to these tragedies?

That cannot be refuted.

No matter how hard Bronya tried to think, she found that she couldn't come up with a valid reason to refute the other party.

Because whatever reason she came up with, Cocolia's X10 Experiment was the real reason for the disappearance and death of her orphanage companions.

"A person's specific thoughts are not determined by what they say, but by what they actually do."

Lin Yu, having turned around, stared directly at the girl in front of him and spoke to Bronya.

"I don't know exactly what Cocolia said to you. But I can guess that she probably meant it was for reasons like fighting the Honkai and saving Seele, right?"

"But unfortunately, you are too smart, so you chose to ignore the pain that this hard-won maternal love caused you and the world."

"Cocolia, who claims to love her children, made them victims of human experimentation as a mother."

"In order to fight against Honkai Cocolia, as a cadre of the anti- Honkai organization, she directly guided the Herrscher of Thunder to descend, causing countless innocent people to be harmed."

"This is the 'truth' about Cocolia, and now, clever Miss Bronya, do you think I've said something wrong?"

I have nothing to say.

Bronya is so intelligent that she is currently unable to utter a single word.

Because Lin Yu's words are actually the truth.

Cocolia speaks, she has caused irreparable harm to those around her and to innocent ordinary people.

"The reason why we say that we will be comrades who will go through life and death together is very simple."

Looking at Bronya, who had lowered her head in disappointment, Lin Yu continued.

"If you want to save your friend, you need the power of Herrscher and scientific research technology. You should get along well with Mei and then gain a voice within Schicksal."

"As for Cocolia, although this is a bit hurtful to be so direct, you should know that she has no future."

Yes.

After deliberately triggering the Third Honkai Outbreak, Mother Cocolia's reputation was ruined both within the organization and among the higher-ups of other countries.

Schicksal will not let her go, nor will Anti-Entropy, and even other nations within the mortal realm will despise her.

Because—what she did was truly outrageous.

"But... she is, after all, Bronya's mother!"

Bronya's voice suddenly rose a few decibels as she thought about the future Cocolia was about to face.

"Do you really want Bronya to abandon her mother and defect to Schicksal? Would you—believe in Bronya like that?!"

"Of course, I believe you are a smart person."

At this moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Yu's face.

"Cocolia is basically dead now, but as long as she doesn't cause any trouble, she can live a little longer."

"If you can make enough contributions to Schicksal and climb to a high enough position before she ruins herself, then you, with your voice, might be able to save her life."

"Your joining Schicksal is not betrayal, but love."

At that moment, Lin Yu walked up to Bronya, squatted down, and gently patted the girl's shoulder.

"Because you are a smart person, you should know that what I am saying is not to fool you."

"Even if Anti-Entropy goes all out against Schicksal, it will only be at a disadvantage. Moreover Cocolia's mechs have suffered heavy losses. Facing the entire Schicksal will only mean certain death."

"I'm not threatening you, I'm just making you face the truth. If you want your mother to have a chance to survive in this desperate situation..."

"—Then obediently become our companion and atone for your mother's sins in advance."

"Believe me, this is the best choice for you. When you think back on our conversation today..."

"—You'll definitely thank me when that time comes."

[Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!]

[You knew she joined Schicksal, so someone must have played the good cop. Now you've stepped in as the bad cop, making her realize the situation, and this ticking time bomb by her side has been dealt with.]

[You talk about revenge with Yuno, and you talk about atonement with Bronya. Cocolia's life and death seem to be in a quantum superposition state in the eyes of different people.]

In terms of speaking human language to human and ghost language to ghost, this system would like to call you—the strongest!

.

Chapter 89. The invincible Kiana has fallen.

In terms of speaking human language to human and ghost language to ghost, this system would like to call you—the strongest!

After hearing the system's words, Lin Yu felt that the system had a huge misunderstanding about him.

Okay, it's not exactly a misunderstanding, but couldn't the description have been phrased in a slightly more positive way?

What does it mean to speak human language to human beings and ghost language to ghosts? It means to prescribe the right medicine for the illness!

Yes, that's called treating the root cause.

[With this thought in mind, you are quite certain that your words will be a powerful remedy for those two girls.]

Yuno definitely needs something to distract her, and Bronya's efforts to atone for her sins are indeed feasible—in the original story, if it weren't for Bronya's sake, Cocolia might not have survived.

Since these 'medicines' can solve the problem, they are naturally good medicines. As for the problems that exist within the 'medicines' themselves...

Every medicine has its side effects; sometimes, necessary sacrifices are indeed required. Even Otto Apocalypse couldn't arrange everything perfectly without a single flaw.

How could you, whose intelligence and abilities are far inferior to his, possibly do better than him?

Yes, that's right.

From the beginning, I never intended to completely resolve some of the issues that existed in this little girl's heart.

My actions now, whether towards Yuno or Bronya, are essentially just giving them a reason to have more time to see clearly what they should be doing.

As for what the future holds, I am still confident in some aspects.

Cocolia will definitely disappoint Bronya, but she won't disappoint me.

[That's true, after all, this is the first abstract style in Honkai.]

[Leaving aside the other women who appear quite frequently, this blonde bombshell with her good looks and large breasts has never been your target.]

[If you firmly believe that she'll only go as far as she can to her death, then you think—this woman is better off dead sooner rather than later.]

Putting aside the strange word 'goal', I completely agree with your last statement.

As for whether Bronya will be sad then... haha, to be honest, I still can't possibly be perfect in every way.

She loves her mother, but her mother is a beast. In this situation, it is for her own good to let her see her mother's true colors.

I'm too lazy to talk about the Valkyrie System; Cocolia will use this card sooner or later anyway.

If I had told Bronya about this beforehand, not only would I have been unable to explain how I knew about it, but it would have also given Bronya a heads-up.

Only when she completely trusted Cocolia and was betrayed did she realize what kind of person Cocolia really was...

Ha, I just watched helplessly as a little girl was most likely to be tricked by her mother, and I didn't say a word, I just watched...

How decadent!

"That..."

Seeing the complex emotions in Lin Yu's gaze as he looked at her, Bronya immediately asked.

"Do you really think... Mother Cocolia has no chance of winning?"

"After asking this question, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Lin Yu, having stood up, did not remain where he was, but instead headed towards his room.

"Spending two or three days at the Schicksal Headquarters might not be enough for you to understand the full strength of Schicksal."

"After you stay at Schicksal for a while, you will find that the remaining forces in Cocolia's hands are no longer enough to take down the Far East Branch."

"Don't think I'm trying to fool you. What I just said is actually feasible, and it might even be Cocolia's only way to survive in the future."

"For the sake of your beloved mother, think carefully about what you should do next."

After saying these words, a character introduction template popped up in front of Lin Yu.

[Name: Bronya Zaychek]

[Identity: A member of Anti-Entropy who was forced to join Schicksal, Cocolia's adopted daughter.]

Current favorability rating: 10

[Note: She is skeptical of your proposal, but in her current state of confusion, she hasn't thought of a better solution or considered the flaws in the plan.]

Ah, finally someone with low favorability has appeared.

To be fair, compared to the previous negative favorability rating, this favorability rating has improved very quickly.

[But this is for the best, considering the girl's figure right now, what do you think...]

It's definitely not appropriate to punish a young child; it would be better to wait until she's older!

Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore—you promised me I could rest tomorrow, a five-day work week with two days off!

Okay, this system won't show up unless there are special circumstances.

Now that you mention it, I have a feeling that something unusual might happen.

They're all in St. Freya, what survival crisis could there possibly be?

[Hehehe, this system doesn't know.]

Never mind, I should get some rest.

Tomorrow... I'll reveal a little of my strength, then act like a crazy lunatic willing to fight to the death...

Hopefully, Fu Hua won't investigate too deeply about it.

Five days passed, and every day was a performance.

Sometimes I do feel a bit tired.

On the other side, Bronya watched Lin Yu leave and realized that her emotions were still not very stable.

Even under these circumstances, Bronya, unable to be completely rational, only needed a little thought to realize that what Lin Yu said was actually quite reasonable.

After Cocolia created the Honkai, the social status of the radicals was completely destroyed.

Anti-Entropy's enemies will seize the opportunity to slander her, and even Anti-Entropy's potential allies will harbor resentment towards her when they join forces with Cocolia because of her betrayal of Raiden Ryoma and the bombing of Changkong City.

The enemy laughed themselves silly and pressed their advantage, while friendly forces either fell silent or turned into enemy forces.

Furthermore, with Cocolia's Titan Mech being Hyperion's attack, Bronya felt that with the limited forces Cocolia currently possessed...

Lin Yu's statement that "we can't take down the Far East Branch" was actually quite polite.

The Far East Branch has a main gun on a warship capable of destroying Emperor-class Honkai Beast, and Former S-rank Valkyrie like Theresa wielding powerful weaponry. Even excluding the two new Herrscher, it is considered the strongest branch in Schicksal.

Bronya felt she should be grateful that the troops Cocolia currently had could fight an ordinary branch to a standstill.

Looking back now, Bronya's inexplicable decision to disable the communication system on the chip might not have been such a bad thing after all.

Regardless of whether Bronya chooses to genuinely join Schicksal, the Anti-Entropy radicals can't withstand any more turmoil for the time being.

Mother, right now... she must be angry with Bronya.

But now, Bronya can't act recklessly over such trivial matters.

After losing Seele, Bronya didn't want to lose any more important people.

So now...

Let's follow that man's suggestion and temporarily join Schicksal, then see how things go.

Yes, he's right.

Bronya did not betray Mother Cocolia.

This wasn't betrayal; it was simply an action taken to secure a future for Mother Cocolia.
