"In other words, the nodes of this world changed at the Anti-Entropy: Origins," Vill-V added. "Einstein and Tesla also died at Otto's hands, and no one came to guide Welt Young."

"Otto is truly guilty of a terrible sin."

"Hmph, he deserves to die!"

Aponia and Kalpas spoke at the same time, but Kevin was still confused. He slammed his fist into his palm and said, "I get it. So he is Yang ChaoYue."

"What Yang ChaoYue?" Mei asked in confusion. Weren't we talking about Walter Yang? Why is an unfamiliar name being mentioned all of a sudden?

"Mei, that's a nickname given to Welt online. He's always talking about surpassing, right? Saying he surpassed Joyce, so we just call him Yang ChaoYue," Kevin explained.

"Pfft."

With the "cooperation" of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, the Honkai Beasts summoned by the Herrscher of the Void were quickly wiped out. Kiana was about to rush forward to deal with the Second Herrscher when she was stopped by Mei.

"Wait! Another massive Honkai energy reaction has occurred at the center of the battlefield!"

The camera focuses on Sirin lying on the ground, surrounded by flames of war. The camera then moves upwards to show Welt Yang floating in the air, with the Herrscher Core emitting a continuous blue light beneath his palm.

"The mighty Herrscher of the Void has been driven to such a predicament by humanity."

The camera zoomed in, revealing a look of utter disdain on his face.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. Use your power for my own purposes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black holes created using the Herrscher Authority of the Void appeared behind him, and the black holes attacked only one target: Sirin on the ground.

"I finally managed to make a comeback in my own right, only to be utterly defeated by you (some kind of plant)!" Enraged, Sirin gritted her teeth, forgetting all about her potato chips, and threw her empty Coke cup onto the ground.

Bella silently cleaned up the trash that Sirin had thrown out.

"Hehe, Sirin got the short end of the stick again!" Kiana was very happy. Whether in the main storyline or in reality, she and Sirin often bickered.

"Stupid Brainless Idiot!"

After eliminating the Herrscher of the Void and seizing her powers, Welt Yang turned his fire on the Valkyrie forces. Amidst the continuous attacks of the mech units, Mei hit by a shell and disappeared in the barrage.

"Mei!!!"]

"Damn it! How dare Welt Yang hurt Mei! I swear I will never forgive him!" Kiana had just been mocking Sirin, is now on Sirin's side.

Their enemy is Welt Young!

"Kiana, it's just a parallel world, not part of the main storyline," Mei said helplessly.

"I don't care, no matter which world Mei is from, she can't get hurt in front of me."

After retreating to the Babylon Laboratory, Bronya took over command of the squad and tried to contact other Valkyrie squads, but the communicator was filled with calls for support from other squads.

Bronya couldn't understand why the First Herrscher would become humanity's enemy.

"Why? You still ask why?" Kiana, on the verge of collapse due to Mei's death, roared, "Because he was Herrscher! Their souls were long ago devoured by the Honkai, that face was just a tool to deceive humanity! He killed Mei! Mei..."

Bronya was speechless; she sensed that the world was not only dangerous, but also filled with disorder and chaos.

Chapter 179 Nicknamed Yang ChaoYue

"Kiana, although I've never been on the battlefield, I know that bringing negative emotions onto the battlefield is deadly," Himeko said.

"Himeko, don't lecture me now!" Kiana crossed her arms. "I'm only like this because he killed Mei."

"Kiana, I think Himeko- sensei is right."

When Kiana saw Mei stand next to Himeko, she was stunned for a moment, then hugged Mei's arm and started to whine, "Oh, Mei ~"

"Kiana." Mei gently tapped Kiana's forehead.

Seeing this, Bronya unconsciously hugged Seele.

"The last test is the most dangerous. Isn't this how anime usually goes?" Shub, who was sitting in the row in front of them, turned around and said, "Don't worry, Bronya, as the protagonist, will definitely overcome this test."

"That's right, I will make sure Seele leaves safely!" Bronya nodded earnestly.

"Sister Bronya..."

Hearing Seele's weak voice, Bronya realized that Seele's shoulder was injured and blood was dripping down her arm. She quickly stepped forward to help bandage it.

Seeing Mei's death, Seele was devastated. Bronya held Seele tightly, feeling her trembling body. Bronya could only softly comfort her, promising to take her away and fulfill their promise to see the sea.

"Damn First Herrscher!" As a junior, Bronya did not address Welt Yang by his full name, but instead referred to him as First Herrscher.

At this moment, Bronya stood on the same side as Kiana and Sirin.

After comforting Seele, Bronya noticed that Kiana was missing. She looked around warily and told Seele not to stray too far from her. However, she didn't notice that Seele's eyes had turned blood red and her voice was harsh and cold.

Once again on the run, the mech army surged in like a tide. Bronya told Seele to run fast, only to discover that Seele had somehow gotten separated from her.

A sudden, intense pain shot through her body, causing her to collapse to the ground. The marks of Honkai began to spread from her arm, and her heart pounded fiercely, as if she were foreseeing something terrible about to happen.

The pounding of hearts echoed through the theater's sound system, creating a palpable sense of unease and allowing the audience to experience Bronya's inner turmoil firsthand.

"That... was foreshadowing, right?"

Seeing Seele's sudden change in demeanor, so different from her usual gentle self, Kiana asked uncertainly.

Bronya looked at Seele, thinking to herself that Yaqing really couldn't write a script. Even if Seele was under a lot of pressure, she wouldn't turn out like that...

Just as Bronya thought of this, Seele's expression changed. She got up from Bronya's arms, and although the color of her eyes hadn't changed, they felt completely unfamiliar to Bronya.

"Heh." Seele sneered. "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out, Sister Bronya ~"

"???"

Seele's change surprised everyone, especially Bronya.

The Arlene sisters, on the other hand, acted as usual.

Rosalia pointed at Seele and exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, it's another Seele!"

"Another... Seele?" Bronya hesitated.

"Could it really be Herrscher Persona?" Kiana was stunned.

"Ha, what Herrscher... My other self, please don't do this." Before 'Seele' could finish speaking, she was interrupted by another Seele.

"Sister Bronya, Seele didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that there's another one I don't want too many people to know about her," Seele said timidly.

"It's alright, Seele."

You'll never know how happy Bronya was inside at that moment.

After Seele's explanation, everyone understood that it wasn't the so-called Herrscher Persona, but rather that Seele had suffered from dissociative identity disorder since childhood. Because she became an orphan at the age of six and came to an unfamiliar place, she imagined a completely different version of herself to protect herself.

This finally cooled down the excited Brainless Idiot.

The familiar corrupted version of Bronya makes another appearance. Welt Yang walks towards her step by step, celebrating her survival of the Second Honkai and reminding her that she was the only one who survived.

Then came the storyline of the promotional video.

Unlike the promotional video, however, she doesn't wear any illustrations; the entire video consists of dialogue between Bronya and Welt Young.

"The preview was a lie!" Kevin exclaimed, as if he had been deceived. "I thought Welt really killed Otto, but it turns out that in this parallel world he only killed the Valkyrie troops on the front lines. He didn't even kill Otto, so what kind of destruction of Schicksal is that?"

"The development of this parallel world is so strange. It was clearly just the killing of the Second Herrscher, so why does it seem like the Honkai has ended according to Welt?" May wondered.

"You can't reason with a madman. Welt in the parallel world was a madman driven insane by hatred." Mobius said calmly, "It was also a world destined for destruction, having lost its Schicksal, and its Anti-Entropy was also blinded by hatred."

At Welt's villa dormitory.

Einstein and Tesla both looked at Welt Young.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Welt Yang asked timidly.

"Did you offend that young CEO?" Einstein asked.

"No."

"Then why did he persecute you like that in the second half of the movie? Do you know what people call you online now? Yang ChaoYue, I think that's a pretty good nickname," Einstein laughed.

"Ah?"

"Pfft, Yang ChaoYue, hahahaha." Tesla was laughing wildly.

Welt Yang's Herrscher body was already riddled with holes. Bronya stubbornly stood up, making him feel challenged. He used the Star of Eden to force her to kneel down.

Welt was puzzled and furious. He had killed the person most important to the other person, but there was no hatred in the other person's eyes, only pity and sorrow. She was still trying to move forward.

"Cowardice? What a joke! I'm stronger than anyone else!" The Heart of Eden in Welt's hand trembled, indicating that he was finding it increasingly difficult to control.

"You're not strong at all. Bronya has seen people much stronger than you." Bronya said indifferently, looking at Welt with an even more pathetic expression.

"Even when disaster strikes, she faces it with courage..."

Even when despair blots out the sun, she will fight back with her will...

"She was just a mortal. Bronya knew her confusion, her bewilderment, the pain and sorrow she had endured along the way..."

"But Bronya also knew that no matter how far she went, she would still uphold her responsibilities..."

"She remains the hero who protected hope!"

Chapter 180 The Bronya Who Was Backstabbed

"Well said, Bronya, give this villainous First Herrscher a good beating!" Kiana looked very excited, her white hair in a high ponytail swinging back and forth.

"Of course, Bronya is the main character!" Bronya proudly puffed out her chest, exuding an air of "looking down on everyone else." In the front row, perhaps only Himeko could barely be compared to her.

"Is going down the wrong path, being blinded by hatred, a test or a warning?"

"Or perhaps it's a premonition," Mobius added after hearing Möbius's voice. "Isn't that what he likes? Leaving clues where we don't notice them."

"It's not impossible."

"Impossible!"

Vill-V and Elysia gave two completely different answers.

Elysia sat up from Eden's arms and argued forcefully, "With Himeko's guidance, how could Bronya possibly go down this path? Besides... Bronya's heart wasn't blinded by hatred, Vill-V ~"

Vill-V shivered. Regardless of which personality Vill-V, he always kept his distance from Elysia.

"Himeko- sensei..."

The Final Lesson left a deep impression on her, and it was after watching it that Desdobina unhesitatingly filled in the St. Freya Academy as her first choice, even though it meant she and Kosma would not be able to attend the same university.

"..." Kosma didn't speak, but it was clear that he would have wanted to go if St. Freya Academy didn't refuse male students.

"You are not worthy of the name 'Welt' at all!"

Bronya's words broke Welt's defenses, and he roared as he controlled the Star of Eden to tear Bronya apart.

But Star of Eden did not respond to him. Instead, it fell from his hands as if it had lost control and rolled straight to Bronya. At the same time, a childish voice rang in Bronya's ears.

"Bronya, you've found the answer."

Bronya picked up the Star of Eden and, to Welt's astonishment, activated its first rated power, unleashing a black hole that gradually engulfed the entire world.

"Awesome! Bronya, this is the most handsome I've ever seen you!" Kiana agreed.

"Hmph, I've been handsome plenty of times, but Kiana, I accept your approval." Bronya turned her head away haughtily.

"Next, Bronya should take Hill away from the Sea of Quanta, right?" Theresa was a little unsure.

The plot did not unfold as Theresa had predicted; Seele's silhouette appeared in the distance on the snowy plains.

Seele was talking to someone when the screen went black, leaving only the sound of the conversation. The other person wanted Seele to do something, but Seele refused. The other person could only remind them that their lives were in the hands of others.

Seele was still hesitant, but chose to trust Bronya.
