The Revival Match

Now, Lin Yu has no choice but to prepare for the worst.

In the original work, the mob could all try to drag Black Seele, Kiana, and others into the abyss by exploiting the wounds in everyone's hearts.

Now, Otto has become the leader of the Dominance Herrscher.

Otto, a ruthless man with extensive knowledge, could easily use his Dominance Herrscher abilities to create enough artificial hells to allow Anna, Chen Tianwu, Himeko, and Bronya to simultaneously become Herrscher Transformation.

In addition, Lin Yu's Daughter was also transported to the Dominion Theater, so now the Dominion Theater can be said to have gathered far more Herrscher Candidate than in the original work.

Originally, Lin Yu's idea was that after forcibly implanting the Dominance Core into his body using the implantation skill, he could enter the Dominion Theater, which belonged to the Dominance Herrscher.

But after he implanted the core and guided everyone onto the right path, he realized he had oversimplified the matter.

When he received the implant, he could feel a flood of negative emotions entering his brain.

However, after successfully counterattacking using the Swaying Scales, he also used his Quantum Entanglement ability to confirm that one of the Herrscher of Dominion was not in headquarters.

And this Herrscher of Dominion is none other than the culprit who caused all this calamity— Otto Apocalypse.

Otto, who wanted to test Lin Yu by using Quantum Entanglement, mingled with the consciousness of those Dominance Herrscher who had fallen into despair.

At that time, after Lin Yu used the Libra's pearl, Otto naturally also embarked on the right path.

However, the right path that Otto believed in was not the same path that Lin Yu believed in.

Unlike his colleagues within the organization who were trying to save the world or seek revenge against the Honkai, Otto's goal was not this from the beginning.

For Otto, who wants to revive Kallen, he is now undoubtedly on the right track.

A world without Kallen is meaningless; Kallen's death is the fault of all humanity...

After sensing that the other party still held these two viewpoints, Lin Yu felt that he had finally understood Otto.

I understand now—'If this old man doesn't die, none of us will be able to live a good life.'

Now, Otto, who is on the 'right path', is the 'Herrscher of Dominion' of the Honkai identity.

Lin Yu's authority in terms of domination power is far less than that of Otto, who is supported by Honkai, so naturally he cannot freely enter and exit the Dominion Theater in a short period of time.

However, the fact that I am unable to do anything about it now does not mean that there is no solution to this problem.

In the original story, Otto entered the Dominion Theater using the Void Key. Now, with Sue, a veteran who has controlled the Void Key for 50,000 years, using the Void Key, he will surely be able to enter the Dominion Theater more easily Otto.

Furthermore, if my speculation is correct, it's only a matter of time before Kiana is teleported to that hellish place by Otto he enters the Dominion Theater.

He still needed the power of the Herrscher of the Void, and after he set his sights on Kiana...

No matter how Kiana was born, she will always be Kaslana.

There's more than one solution. The next step is to see whether we can enter the Dominion Theater faster, or whether Otto can defeat everyone faster.

Meanwhile, Dominion Theater

Bronya, who had been suddenly teleported to the Dominion Theater, summoned Heavy Cannon and began to warily observe her surroundings.

She had never seen this place before, but from the moment she entered, she felt an unsettling aura emanating from the surroundings.

She already knew that Lin Yi had disappeared while she was with Theresa.

Now that it's been confirmed that this isn't the Schicksal Headquarters, Bronya is almost certain that Lin Yi is also here.

Although Lin Yi is certainly different from ordinary children, in everyone's eyes, no matter how smart or mature Lin Yi is, she is still just a child.

Having experienced hardship in her childhood, Bronya knew very well that even if Lin Yi wasn't in danger now, she would definitely feel uneasy.

If she could, Bronya would definitely want to protect Lin Yu's Daughter at a time like this.

After all... I still owe Brother Lin Yu a lot of favors.

After having this thought in her mind, Bronya began to use some of the retrieval devices on her Heavy Cannon to search for any other creatures in the vicinity.

Then, before Bronya had gone far from the area, her detection equipment detected a creature nearby.

"Who is it...!"

After aiming the cannon at that 'creature,' Bronya had a feeling that the man before her...

"No, no, this can't be!"

The man who appeared before Bronya was dressed in military uniform and had a striking head of short silver hair.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The key point is that Bronya once found information about this man in Anti-Entropy's database.

He couldn't possibly be here!

"Ah, that hair, that face..."

The man who slowly emerged from the shadows looked at Bronya, whose face was filled with panic, and asked Bronya in a trembling voice.

"Are you... my daughter with Alexandra?"

Hearing what the man said, even though Bronya tried to deny it, she couldn't help but ask him a question.

"You are Alexei Zaychek..."

"Is he... my father?"

"Ah, that's right."

Looking at Bronya's expression, Alexei felt a sense of relief.

"You now..."

Looking at Bronya's body, Alexei suddenly stopped himself from saying what he was about to say.

"I can see happiness in your eyes."

"You should be living a happy life right now, shouldn't you...?"

"—Now I can finally rest easy."

Written request for leave

I'm only taking one day off this month, and I hope to get some proper rest...

Damn it, rest my ass, hurry up and kill Otto.

I wrote 6,000 words today, but it feels inappropriate to release it now for the sake of plot continuity.

I'll keep writing. Tomorrow I'll go through the outline of this part of the story all at once...

Although it probably won't be enough to send Otto away, at least publishing the first and last 20,000 words together will have a better effect.

I should be able to finish writing the remaining words by 8 PM tomorrow night. If I don't finish by then, just add 20,000 words to my back word count.

Chapter 296. The Resurrection Match

To be honest, Bronya, as the relatively more rational member of the team, should have been wary of the situation where her father, who had been dead for many years, suddenly came back to life.

However, this sudden surprise made the usually vigilant and rational Bronya realize a fact she had long overlooked.

Perhaps Bronya was forced to grow into a more mature person than other children from a young age due to the military's training.

But in the end, no matter how mature she is, she is still a child who lacks love.

Because of her lack of love, Bronya came to regard Cocolia and her companions in the orphanage as her extremely important family after receiving some warmth from them.

Now, with her blood-related father suddenly 'resurrected' and appearing before Bronya, how could she, whose emotional circuits had long been repaired, possibly suppress this impulse in her heart?

The urge to embrace her family overwhelmed the girl's body, causing her to suppress the last vestiges of reason in her heart and slowly walk towards her father.

However, just as Bronya was about to say something more, a voice that she knew very well, but which should not have been there, entered her ears.

"Bronya... you damned traitor!"

Behind Bronya, Xing Mar, who had appeared out of nowhere, stared at Bronya with hatred and roared at Bronya.

"It's all your fault... it's all your fault!"

"If it weren't for you, Mother Cocolia wouldn't have been killed by those scoundrels from Schicksal!"

"It's all because you sided with Schicksal! It's all because you betrayed everyone! It's all because..."

"—You bastard, you actually chose to become the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void! Jay!"

"Apricot???"

Looking back at Xing, who had suddenly appeared behind her, Bronya suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Her friend, Xing Mar, has been imprisoned in the Far East Branch since being captured by Schicksal in the Nine Nether Regions of Shenzhou several months ago.

Although her Stigmata abilities are very strong, Anzu, without the replenishment of Honkai Energy, is unable to unleash her power and therefore cannot escape from prison.

Originally, Bronya hoped that after she worked hard to improve her Valkyrie level and gain more say, she could have a proper talk with her and see if she could persuade her to stop being so radical.

But many things happened too suddenly...

Well, actually, judging from her adoptive mother's past actions, it was inevitable that her adoptive mother Cocolia, would be killed.

When power is insufficient, excessive desires will only lead her to do things that are inconsistent with her status and strength.

After Cocolia's death, Bronya cherished her orphanage companions even more.

That's why she wanted to see Xing again after she had sorted out her emotions.

However, now that Xing has appeared in front of Bronya, she suddenly realizes that she is not daring to face her at all.

Unlike Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia, who were 'transported to the Quantum Sea's and 'captured by the World Serpent for experiments' because of Cocolia, Annie, who knows part of the inside story, is clearly not easily fooled by Bronya.

However, I didn't tell Anne about Mother Cocolia's death.

She couldn't possibly know that Sister Kiana was the Herrscher of the Void.

What... what on earth is going on?!

"Why... why don't you deny these things!"

At this moment, Xing looked at Bronya and roared at Bronya again.

"A voice just appeared in my head, telling me all these things. I thought you'd at least offer some rebuttal, but it seems..."

"It seems that the man was serious about what he said."

At this moment, Xing, with her eyes glazed over, concentrated Honkai Energy into her right hand and created a strange, jet-black longsword.

"I will kill you... I will absolutely kill you!"

"The Herrscher of the Void is a piece of trash who made a mess of the world. How could you choose to associate with such a demon and even cause the death of Mother Cocolia..."

"Bronya, you are unforgivable!"

Bronya.

Upon hearing Xing Mar's rebuke, Alexei, standing behind Bronya, gradually lost his smile.

"Is everything this child is saying true?"

"Ah, I'm certain that Anne isn't lying, Colonel."

Beside Alexei, a middle-aged woman who had appeared at some point spoke to her former superior.

"Bronya is truly beyond saving."

"You..."

Bronya, who was now clearly surrounded, turned around and looked at the woman in military uniform. A look of undisguised horror finally appeared on her face.

"Mother Cocolia, why...?"

"Why am I here when I should be dead? Is that what you want to ask?"

Seeing the astonishment on her adopted daughter's face, Cocolia sneered at Bronya.

"The Herrscher of the Void has created so many tragedies, yet she can be resurrected through the method of soul reincarnation. So I think it's not so strange that the Colonel and I have returned to this world."

"Bronya..."
