However, just as Black Seele was about to pull out her scythe and battle Bronya, another voice in her mind made her stop.
Bronya, beside her, also sensed that something was wrong with Seele and hurriedly said:
"Seele, if he wishes it, he can make you vanish into the Sea of Quanta at any time. That isn't salvation at all.
"That's precisely why Bronya will not place your lives in Snake's hands. Bronya and Seele made a promise. Bronya will definitely take her away from here, back to reality, so they can go see the sea together..."
Whether because of the voice in her mind or because of Bronya's words, Black Seele no longer persisted.
"I don't want to go back to that place for even one second... but... Seele said she was willing to wait for you. Honestly, there's nothing I can do about her..."
Seele sank weakly to her knees, and the red glow in her eyes gradually dimmed.
Seeing this, Bronya understood that the other Seele had relinquished control of the body.
What she needed to do next was uphold their promise.
Suddenly, the space began to shake violently.
The gigantic Honkai Beast that had appeared in the Eye of the Abyss appeared before the two of them once more.
Before either could react, Tlaloc first sent Bronya flying with a slap, then tightly bound Seele and headed for the Herrscher of Reason's core.
Bronya lay on the ground and struggled to raise her head, watching Seele grow farther and farther away.
Helplessness, frustration, pain.
At that moment, every bleak emotion flooded her heart.
She had finally found Seele here. Was she really going to stand by and watch her return to that sunless Sea of Quanta once again?!
Without her companions, could she really do nothing?!
