Collapse, I'll Directly Transform and Give You a Punch

Bronya watched Kiana making a fuss, eating melon seeds on the side. A love triangle, amusing, she watched the show.

Bronya, feeling it had nothing to do with her, was quite content to watch the drama unfold, but soon, this melon she wouldn't be able to eat, not tonight.

Chapter 54: Duel Crossing

Night fell, and Bronya, Mei, and Kiana were moving according to the markers on the top of the box.

After school, they suddenly noticed the box lid, which had been completely normal before, had something resembling a radar appear on it.

Curious, they followed the radar's display, moving towards the illuminated points marked on it.

There was one area on the radar that particularly piqued their curiosity. A cluster of light points gathered in that region, as if a party was happening there. Compared to the scattered light points around it, it was exceptionally eye-catching.

Since they were interested in these light points, they definitely had to go to where they were most concentrated.

As everyone followed the radar's guidance to that mysterious area, they heard continuous screams coming from there before they even arrived.

Several students on the scene were staring intently at a woman with a unique style, as if guarding against a final boss.

A pile of "corpses" lay at their feet!

Bai Chen was starting to sweat. The number of people today had clearly increased. After defeating a few individuals, Bai Chen's arms were already starting to ache.

"You might ask why Bai Chen only defeated a few people, yet so many lie dead on the ground?"

Because when he dueled with others, the students on the sidelines couldn't contain their desires and started dueling amongst themselves. More than half the people on the ground were actually taken down by them.

The few people remaining on the field, confronting each other, were all survivors of that mutual slaughter.

They didn't know if they misunderstood, but after their victory, they even took their opponents' dignity!

Bai Chen considered it a helpless act to complete the mission, but what about you all! At this moment, he felt he might have started something that wasn't good.

"Who's next?"

Bai Chen felt he was in a difficult position and could only feign confidence.

"Bronya will go next."

Bronya on the field

Bronya eagerly stepped forward, taking out her deck. She had thoroughly studied the rules of this thing during the day!

Bronya!!!

When Bai Chen saw Bronya and the two people behind her, his soul nearly leaped out of his body. He had never taken Bronya's dignity before!

Facing a series of duels with his current energy, encountering Bronya, who was exceptionally skilled in games... he would be the one whose dignity would be taken away this time!

And, Bai Chen noticed Kiana's gaze becoming increasingly dangerous. Her actions of wearing her skin and causing trouble had been discovered!!

"No! I'm next to duel! It's getting late, and I must personally reclaim my dignity before tonight!"

The club president suddenly jumped out, stopping Bronya from snatching the kill.

As Bronya prepared to wait for the next wave, a few people jumped out to interrupt their conversation.

"Wait, I arrived here before you all, so it should be my turn! You're not the only one whose dignity was taken!"

"I'll go first!"

"It should be me first!"

"Then let's go!"

Amidst the chaos, someone said something that made everyone on the scene freeze. Only the last one standing would have their dignity!

"Okay!"

Without thinking, they even threw out their cards without Bai Chen's consent!

Seeing that the first duel had a special mode, Bronya also became interested and decisively threw out her prepared cards.

Bai Chen, watching the situation unfold, sweat pouring down his face, drew a card. In a daze, he saw something like battle aura rising from some people!!

No! Bai Chen rubbed his eyes and realized he didn't seem to be mistaken!

There was indeed an aura, like a talent, rising from within them!

Those several streams of energy surged straight into his body. The moment those gases entered his body, the special flames within Bai Chen erupted uncontrollably.

"Ah!"

Encountering such a situation for the first time, Bai Chen was clearly stunned.

"Bai Chen?"

Noticing something was wrong with Bai Chen, Bronya immediately put away her deck and quickly moved to Bai Chen's side, preparing to check his condition.

Bai Chen felt no pain. Instead, it was like the relief of a blockage that had been bothering him for days suddenly clearing. However, due to the blockage's duration, Bai Chen couldn't control this feeling for a moment.

"Huh?"

Those students engrossed in playing cards only then realized something was wrong. Why were they suddenly bursting into flames while playing cards? And Jia Duo Bao isn't even expensive!

There are two Kiana classmates on the field? The one with Mei is the real Kiana, as her face isn't covered. Then, playing cards with her...

Bai Chen was losing control of the surging power within him. A massive silver light screen suddenly appeared behind Bronya and began to approach Bai Chen!

"Bronya!"

Bai Chen exclaimed and rushed forward, grabbing Bronya's arm and flinging her to the side.

In the next moment, the silver light screen enveloped Bai Chen and vanished from its original spot. Bai Chen also disappeared along with the light screen.

"Little Bai!"

Kiana frowned deeply at the spot where Bai Chen had vanished, but she couldn't find any clues there.

This time, Kiana wasn't as panicked. After Bai Chen had gotten into so many accidents, she was somewhat used to it. Now, she only felt a little worried. But Bai Chen always returned safely, right?

As for Bai Chen, the moment he was enveloped by the light screen, he felt a force dragging him somewhere.

Bai Chen instinctively felt that if he allowed this force to drag him, he might leave the world of Collapse!

He never expected that the ability he had been trying to use for so long would finally act today!

He couldn't leave this world right now! At the very least, not until Himeko was completely safe!

As Bai Chen struggled against it, the force's pull grew weaker. After all, he was the one who controlled his own power.

As the force disappeared, a bright light suddenly appeared before Bai Chen's eyes. In the distance, he saw a colossal tree emitting a mysterious glow!

Then, with a jolt, Bai Chen lost consciousness. With the help of a box in Bai Chen's pocket emitting a faint blue glow, his unconscious body gradually drifted towards a mysterious area.

"How are you, classmate? You'll catch a chill sleeping here."

Afterward, Bai Chen saw a pitiable short-haired girl. Her black hair had blue lining on the inside, and her pair of sapphire-blue eyes were as beautiful as a shining sea.

"Seele?"

Chapter Fifty-Five: This World

"Do you know me?"

Seele asked softly, her voice a little weak. Her hesitant demeanor, worried about Bai Chen but too timid to approach him, unconsciously stirred Bai Chen's protective instincts.

Even though Seele was actually a few months older than him.

The Second Eruption broke out in early 2000. Bronya was born in the same month, and Seele was born two months after Bronya... Well, she was the youngest among the main characters.

After arriving, Bai Chen didn't immediately answer Seele's question. He first surveyed his surroundings and found that he was actually within St. Freya Academy.

If it weren't for the sky turning white and the impossible appearance of Seele before him, he would have truly believed he hadn't time-traveled at all.

Since he had confirmed his surroundings... it was time to test Seele.

"I do know Seele, but I'm not sure if you're the one I'm looking for."

The moment Bai Chen spoke, Seele visibly flinched back.

How could this seemingly delicate child say something so strange? Calling her uncertain and asking if she was the one he was looking for?

Bai Chen paid no attention to such minor details. He had no intention of hiding anything. If the Seele before him was indeed the Seele from the main world.

He absolutely had to take her back, take her and Bronya to find Cocolia, and give Cocolia the ultimate humiliation!

"Are you the Seele who disappeared from the orphanage experiment with Bronya?"

Bai Chen asked Seele.

Upon hearing Bai Chen's question, Seele's guard shot up instantly!

Seele had actually been trapped in a void space until not long ago, so lonely she could barely function!

But then, an accident occurred. A purple-pink ball of light descended like a meteor, directly punching a hole in her emo space!

A powerful vortex then swept her into this strange world.

Now, another boy who seemed to know her past had appeared. She found this guy extremely suspicious!

"Seele, let me handle this! That brat is definitely suspicious. He's definitely trying to do something to you!"

Black Seele urgently said from within Seele. She could indeed sense a threatening power from Bai Chen.

"But he has a kind aura."

Seele said hesitantly. That aura was familiar, like Bronya's sister.

If she really let the other her out, then a fight that couldn't be won would have to be fought.

"It seems you are indeed them. Bronya has been looking for you for a long time."

Observing Seele's actions, Bai Chen knew that this Seele was the one he was looking for, not a similar person from another world.

Knowing he had found the right person, Bai Chen relaxed and smiled. He had initially thought he would have to wait for a specific plot point to save Seele, but now it seemed he could complete the mission ahead of schedule.

"Bronya's sister? You know Bronya's sister?"

Hearing Bai Chen mention Bronya's name and refer to her as "sister" like herself, Seele unconsciously lowered her guard a little.

"Idiot! Since he knows about the experiment, he definitely knows your Bronya sister! He's just trying to get close to you now!"

Black Seele was furious seeing Little Bai-cai trust others so easily. She wished she could go out right now... to escape with Seele!

Nonsense, she's not stupid. Although the brat in front of her looks younger, the dangerous aura he brings is quite something!

"Let's walk and talk."

Bai Chen felt it was boring to just stand there, so he decided to take a stroll around the school first.

Along the way, Bai Chen told Seele about Bronya's life after she left and the things Cocolia did as a newborn.

He also embellished the story significantly, for example, claiming that after Seele left, Bronya was heartbroken and devastated. Cocolia, in her madness, sacrificed countless lives to resurrect Seele!

These altered plot points completely fooled Seele, making her even a little embarrassed as she wondered if she was really that important to everyone.

"So, my real reason for coming this time was to take you back."

Although the previous incident was purely accidental, now that he had met Seele, his objective naturally changed.

Bai Chen discovered that he could now use the power of dimensional walls, though not as freely as Xiao Ming. For now, he could only perform simple spatial traversals.

However, because Bai Chen had just expended his power, he couldn't use the dimensional wall ability. He figured he'd be able to use it after a good night's sleep.

Haha, I'll definitely be able to surprise Bronya when I get back this time.

"Huh? Really? Then can we go back tomorrow?"

Seele, who had unconsciously started to believe Bai Chen, said excitedly.

My other self, did you hear that? That's great! We can go back tomorrow!

"I know, I know, you're really noisy... Just be careful, okay."

Black Seele said impatiently, annoyed by Seele's chatter.

"Right, did you guys encounter a white-haired man? He gave off the vibe of a riddle-spouting popsicle."

Bai Chen recalled his impression of Kevin.
