Valkyrie Cocolia-This World Really Has Gone Mad / A Clash of Emotion and Reason, Represented by Elysia and the Snake
At that moment, Kevin's face flushed with embarrassment.
"The stench of love..." Mobius pursed his lips.
"Oh, Miss Fairy seems to smell someone's sourness. Is Mobius missing Yaqing?" Elysia leaned closer.
"I don't either. Who would miss someone like him who went back to Central Europe without a word?" Mobius said, resting his head on the armrest, looking bored.
Seeing that Mobius was clearly not telling the truth, Elysia smiled happily.
In Mobius's eyes, that smile was full of mockery.
That wretched pink fat woman!
Upon entering the Sea of Quanta, Bronya looked up and immediately saw a little boy standing not far from her. Floating amidst the ruins was a notebook decorated with blue butterflies, defying the laws of physics.
"Call me Joachim. What is your name?"
The boy reached out his hand.
"If I remember correctly, my old friend, before he acquired the name Welt in the story, seemed to be called Joachim." Otto was slightly drunk, even if it was most likely an act.
"Why has Welt shrunk? Did he die and get reincarnated? He's already so big, it shouldn't be this fast." Kallen's thoughts were always so peculiar.
"It's obvious that this is a backup plan left by an old friend, something like a clone. Even though he can't protect himself, he's still worried about the Anti-Entropy personnel. It's truly awe-inspiring." Although he said "awe," Otto's tone was anything but respectful.
Far East, dormitory area.
"Yang, I never expected that you, as a child, would have the chance to make an appearance." Tesla suppressed a laugh.
Welt Young could only sigh in resignation, saying that he had envisioned this scenario when he first saw the script.
"So this movie will also talk about Yang's past, which is why that young CEO put the web series online before the movie was released?" Einstein thought of Yaqing's thoughts and purpose.
"Even now, we still don't understand what that young CEO is really thinking."
Tesla sighed. She couldn't talk about Yaqing as she did about Otto. After all, Yaqing hadn't offended her. Apart from killing off Edison and Joyce and occasionally persecuting Welt Young, he hadn't done anything else...
Joachim kindly advised Bronya to leave the Sea of Quanta as soon as possible, but Bronya refused. She even wanted to go deeper into the Sea of Quanta, much to Joachim's surprise.
"This is the space between reality and possibility, between cognition and existence, the entrance to the Sea of Quanta."
Joachim explained that he was the guardian of the entrance to the Sea of Quanta, implying that Bronya was not qualified to enter the Sea of Quanta, and casually summoned the shadow that resided in the Sea of Quanta.
After a fierce battle, Bronya managed to defeat the monster that suddenly appeared. In Joachim's words, this was a monster from her memory, and these monsters became more active the closer they got to the Sea of Quanta.
Joachim also raised an important point.
Project Bunny is powered by the power of the Sea of Quanta.
When Bronya asked him if he was qualified, Joachim shook his head, indicating that the test she was about to undergo had only just begun, and then pushed Bronya into the abyss.
"You will be going to another world, a completely different world."
"Be careful, your past confusion and pain will become your greatest enemy."
"Tell me your answer in that world."
Chapter 171 Valkyrie Cocolia, This World Has Gone Mad
Bronya continued to fall until she heard someone calling her name. The familiar voice made her open her eyes, and she looked at the two people in front of her with a confused expression.
"What's going on... where... is this place?"
Before her stood Fu Hua in her blue training uniform and Himeko, who looked much younger with her Himeko in a high ponytail. In her mind, the two had already sacrificed themselves in the Great Honkai.
"This is Class C, first year of the St. Freya Academy. It's Wednesday morning, second period. It's Murata Himeko's English class."
"Bronya, I never expected a good student like you to fall asleep in class."
"It's Himeko!" Kiana couldn't hide her excitement.
"Great! Himeko- sensei is still alive!" Rosalia excitedly hugged Lilia.
"That's wonderful!" Lilia echoed.
Himeko looked at the excited group and sighed. She wanted to say that she was not dead and that she was still alive, but unfortunately, it would be no use saying it now.
Bronya trembled uncontrollably upon seeing Himeko again and hearing Himeko teasing once more. After an outdoor combat lesson, the audience was treated to a rare moment of sweetness during the interaction between Fu Hua and Himeko.
Back in the classroom, Bronya began to carefully consider everything that had happened. This was not the St. Freya Academy she knew. Apart from Himeko and Fu Hua, she didn't see any other familiar faces.
Dr. Einstein once said that the Sea of Quanta is the intersection of parallel worlds, but Bronya does not believe that she has entered a parallel world. Also, what does Joachim mean by "the answer"?
In order to find more clues, Bronya focused her energy on the afternoon history class.
The history teacher was someone she knew well, someone she knew all too well, someone who shouldn't be here.
Cocolia.
"Is this... the difference in development between parallel universes?" Mei's expression was strange. No one would have guessed that a scheming schemer would actually be a teacher at the St. Freya Academy in a parallel universe.
"Perhaps it's just the First Herrscher's twisted sense of humor, deliberately swapping out characters' personalities," Vill-V speculated earnestly. "Maybe soon we'll see the schemer Theresa or the righteous Otto?"
A just... Otto?
Kevin shuddered. In his mind, Otto was always the same flippant type. If he were to get serious, it would only make Kevin feel strange.
"I have a feeling that Cocolia has taken someone else's place?" Theresa thought carefully, but she couldn't remember who was actually the history teacher.
Far away on the other side of Changkong City, Welt Yang looked at Cocolia in the movie with a strange expression.
You're a history teacher? Then what am I?
"Is that vixen Cocolia up to something again? As an Anti-Entropy agent infiltrating Schicksal's academy, she's obviously not normal. She's definitely not up to any good." Wu Tesla looked suspicious, completely unaware that he had included someone in his insults.
Bronya's surprise was not over when Cocolia, who was her history teacher, began to test Bronya's knowledge of the Second Honkai.
Bronya spoke eloquently, but she was talking about the development of her own world. In this world, the Second Honkai occurred not long before the Herrscher was destroyed, just 22 hours after its birth.
Cocolia clicked on the video footage.
Extremely similar to the first movie, except that Cocolia is saved by Cecilia, and St. Freya Academy was also founded by Cecilia, and Cocolia also speaks of the Valkyrie's beliefs.
"Mother Cocolia... is Valkyrie?!"
Even Bronya had lost the ability to express emotions, showed a hint of shock at this moment.
"Although the developments are different, the course of events is extremely similar, only two people are missing." Mei still strongly agrees with the parallel space theory of the Sea of Quanta.
"May, which two people?" Kevin asked.
"Kiana and Otto."
Kevin, "It's not surprising that Bronya can't see Kiana. Perhaps Kiana doesn't even exist in this world. Cecilia faced the Herrscher at her peak, and Otto didn't hold her back, which is why the Second Honkai was different from what we saw."
"What about Mei?" Kevin was even more curious. If Kiana was the main character, then Mei would definitely be the female lead.
Unexpectedly, Kevin's words immediately triggered a threatening look in May's eyes.
Mei looks a lot like her, but Mei is younger, gentler, and a better cook...
"Kevin, do you care that little girl named Mei so much?" Mei's voice was low.
But Kevin didn't catch that at all, and was still scratching his head and laughing, "I'm curious where she went since she didn't show up."
Seeing this, Mobius finally smiled.
Pardo shrank to Kalpas's side.
To this, Kalpas merely snorted coldly.
After class, Bronya stayed behind to spend time alone with Cocolia. During their conversation, she realized that the Cocolia in front of her was the complete opposite of the Cocolia she knew.
"Do whatever you want, you are free." Cocolia didn't seem to be an answer to Bronya, but rather seemed to be spoken specifically to Bronya.
Just as Bronya was at a loss, Himeko pushed open the classroom door and told Cocolia that the mission previously assigned by headquarters required a suitable candidate, and Bronya volunteered.
In the evening, at the assembly point at the main gate of the St. Freya Academy, Cocolia was introducing the team members for this mission to Bronya: Teacher Himeko, Class President Fu Hua, and—
"I'm sorry! I'm late..." A soft, weak female voice breathed heavily. Upon hearing this voice she had been longing for, Bronya was shocked and looked in the direction of the voice.
Not far away, a girl in a blue-black dress was bent over, her pretty face covered in sweat, but what caught the eye most was the red tattoo on her chest.
"It's Seele!"
Rosalia pointed at Seele appearing on the screen. Now, apart from Anne Mar, they have all appeared on the movie screen. She was very proud and decided to go back and show off to Anne.
"Yes, it's Seele." Bronya took Seele's hand.
"What if it's Seele from this timeline?" Kiana asked, speaking up at an inopportune moment.
"Impossible, this must be the Seele that Bronya knows!" Bronya was so anxious that she didn't even notice her old verbal tic.
"Just in case..."
"Unless something goes wrong, the Brainless Idiot shuts up!"
Chapter 172 The Clash Between Emotion and Reason, Represented by Elysia and Snakey
Bronya didn't recognize Seele, or rather, she thought of Seele as the Seele who grew up in this timeline. According to the mission details given by Fu Hua, the enemy was an anti- Schicksal called Anti-Entropy that broke away from Tianli.
Bronya and Seele were assigned to the same group. During her interactions with Seele, she always felt a sense of unease. For example, Seele seemed to be very familiar with things that were written in the mission materials.
In the abandoned warehouse where supplies were hidden, they found a child, Joachim, who had just met Bronya. However, he was no longer calm and became very flustered and afraid. He kept using Honkai energy to create weapons until he was exhausted and passed out.
Upon examination, Fu Hua discovered numerous wounds on Joachim's body, seemingly caused by prolonged abuse.
Cocolia found the appearance of the weapon that Joachim had constructed familiar.
Just as Cocolia was about to report to headquarters, Bronya stopped her, pointing out that the child might be the "important supplies" mentioned in the mission.
"What kind of development is this? If Otto isn't around, how did we Anti-Entropy escape from Schicksal? And we've even become a terrorist organization?! This is really something (Anti-Entropy profanity)." Tesla cursed.
"Dr. Tesla, don't get so agitated." Einstein remained calm. "We have also broken free from Schicksal in our reality, but it's not entirely because of Otto. Besides, the development of parallel universes is different. What if Anti-Entropy wasn't founded by Joyce?"
You mean to say?
"I think I understand what Ai Yin means," Welt Yang explained. "A small difference can lead to a deviation in development. Perhaps Joyce didn't know you, and the North American Branch didn't break away. The so-called Anti-Entropy is just another organization created by a stranger."
A single grain of dust can change the world.
If Joyce hadn't met Einstein and the others, there would have been no creation of Anti-Entropy, and he might not have had a successor to Joyce, or he might have just been a clone, like Kiana.
"There are no inherently good people." Einstein chuckled. "Of course, there are no inherently evil people either. Perhaps... we will indeed see a just Otto."
"It's just a different perspective."
While everyone was still talking, the Anti-Entropy mech force arrived at the same time, Cocolia immediately decided to split up.
When Bronya wanted to take Joachim to the evacuation site, Seele, contrary to her usual behavior, refused, muttering to herself that she couldn't hand him over to someone else, or everything would have to start all over again.
Bronya wanted to know why Seele was asking.
"Give him to me!" Seele's tone suddenly changed.
The summoned Quantum Shadow was easily defeated by Bronya.
At this moment, they confirmed to each other that the other was someone they knew, not someone who was born and raised in this world.
"Ah... is that you, Sister Bronya?"
"It's been so long... Bronya, I've finally found you..."
Bronya held Seele tightly in her arms, warm tears dripping onto Seele's back.
She couldn't remember how many times she had seen this scene in her dreams, but she still remembered the girl's sobs, the temperature of her tears, and the warmth of holding her in her arms—
I still remember the promise I made to her.
Bronya felt her eyes welling up with tears, a feeling she hadn't experienced since losing her emotions.
"Waaaaah..." Elysia pulled out a tissue?
Thanks to Eden's foresight in carrying many packs of tissues in his handbag, Elysia would be crying and sniffling right now.
