"Whether you accept it or not, I will fulfill the duties I am obligated to perform!"

"So handsome!!!"

"I'm so envious that I can sleep for 1500 years in one go!!"

Little Knowledge and Pardo are two extremes.

"The Kevin that Yaqing writes about is the complete opposite of the Kevin we know," Eden shook his head.

Elysia recovered and returned to her normal demeanor, leaning closer curiously to ask, "Kevin, is this how you see Yaqing?"

Elysia suddenly felt a bit like shipping Yaqing and Kevin again.

A genius director and young CEO x a sunny, athletic, and hardworking individual?

Kevin shivered.

Mobius's gaze was also somewhat unfriendly.

Front row.

"Their prestige is on completely different levels. Kevin's prestige completely crushes Bronya's." Kiana shook her head. "He's probably going to suffer a setback."

"Brainless Idiot, look at who's the main character before you say that! I, Bronya, am the main character!" Bronya proudly patted her chest, which trembled slightly. "Kevin? People from the Previous Era shouldn't come out and cause trouble!"

"But Bronya, the class monitor is from the Previous Era too..." Mei reminded her.

"Except for the class monitor!"

Arlene and her sister cried again.

"What's wrong now?" Bronya was bewildered. They weren't sisters; Kevin had just made a grand statement, and now they were crying? Did she know they trusted her and were grieving for him prematurely?

"Our scenes have been cut..." Rosalia, her voice trembling with tears.

"That's right, I put in a lot of effort when I was composing it." Lilia nodded.

"There's nothing we can do even if we don't cut it. It's already five and a half hours long. If we include that segment, it will be over six hours." Theresa said helplessly. She had already noticed that part of the story had been cut.

"Waaaaah..."

"Bronya, I will never let you succeed!" Bronya used her Law of Herrscher of Reason ability to construct cannons behind her, and the azure cannon fire bombarded the space.

Riding the Ghost Fire motorcycle, he drove straight at Kevin.

Just as the "traffic accident" was about to happen, the Ghost Fire Motorcycle suddenly disintegrated, and Bronya's Herrscher Core suddenly separated from her, changing back to her previous appearance from Herrscher attire.

The Herrscher Core floated in Kevin's hand as he quietly watched Bronya lying on the ground.

"Bronya Zaychik, you have traversed countless World Bubble, carrying an immense burden, to arrive here. Your body can no longer keep up with your consciousness."

The smile didn't disappear; it simply moved from Bronya's face to Kiana's.

Bronya was stunned to see that "she" had been defeated in her first fight after becoming Herrscher.

"Bronya, I told you you were going to get what's coming to you, but you didn't believe me." Kiana laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, so she had to lie in Mei's arms.

"Oh, Bronya's driver's license got confiscated?" Theresa joked.

Upon hearing the word "driver's license," and recalling that Kevin had taken away the Herrscher Core, everyone could no longer hide their smiles.

"Sister Bronya..."

"Seele!" Bronya hugged Seele, her face flushing red as she thought of her bold words.

Seele gently patted Bronya's back, and for some reason, she kept thinking about saying one thing.

Sister Bronya, if you don't have a car, then don't...

Seele shook her head inwardly.

How could that be? Even if Sister Bronya didn't have a car, Seele would...

"Oh my, why is this crybaby secretly disliking her Sister Bronya? Let me see what she's thinking?" Dark Seele was the type who loved watching the drama unfold. As her second personality, she could clearly know Seele's thoughts.

"Sister Bronya, don't try to pick up girls if you don't have a car~ Tsk tsk tsk, Seele, sometimes I really think your ideas are weird." Dark Seele clicked her tongue in amazement.

Seele wished she could cover her ears, even though that wouldn't help.

Welt, who had concealed his consciousness within his core, reconstructed his physical body using the Authority of Reason. In order to protect Bronya, he lunged toward the Gem of Hopes.

But Kevin knocked him away.

"What can you do with that broken body?"

Kevin took the opportunity to recruit Welt, Bronya, and Seele.

Welt firmly rejected him.

Kevin wasn't in a hurry for their answer. Instead, he turned around, the Herrscher Core in his hand emitting a blue light.

"I express my respect to you."

"In this generation, there are still heroes who hold firm to their ideals and fight for humanity."

"However, you are still too naive. Naïve people will be killed by their ideals."

"—You know nothing about the Honkai!"

"I will command and lead humanity to fulfill the true mission of the 'Pioneers'."

"Let's meet again in reality."

"Pioneers?" May noticed the novel term and immediately thought of the Fusion Warrior of the Previous Era.

"Kevin is so strong!" Pardo exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape. Bronya, who had been so aggressive just a moment ago, couldn't even last a single move against Kevin.

"Why did the little follower invite Bronya and the other two to join World Serpent?" Mobius frowned. "If it really was for potential, then after they refused, he should have..."

"Kevin isn't a real villain, he wouldn't go for the kill~"

"I always felt he had some other motive." Mobius chuckled to herself, realizing that one day she actually thought a character modeled after a muscle-bound idiot would have ulterior motives.

"Oh dear~, Professor Mobius, don't overthink it. What if Kevin just saw two beautiful girls and wants to bring them back to show Miss Fairy?" Elysia blinked.

"Hmph, I hope he has some ulterior motive." Mobius sneered.

Kevin's brief appearance instantly captivated the audience. His indifferent expression seemed devoid of any emotion, yet he did not harm them because of Welt's actions in fighting for humanity.

From beginning to end, Kevin had only one goal: to leave the Sea of Quanta.

It was because of Kevin that Seele met Bronya.

Rather than calling him a villain, he is more like a warrior with different ideals from the main characters, fighting against the Honkai alone.

Male characters are extremely rare in the Honkai series.

Ziegfried's fate is currently unknown, while Joyce is confirmed dead. The only male characters still active are Otto, Welt Young, and the newly introduced Kevin.

Having gone through many battles, from Sea of Quanta to World Bubble, from core erosion to firing at Kevin, Bronya's body was already exhausted, and she could barely stand up.

When it rains, it pours; the space itself seems to tremble.

It is about to break.

At this critical moment, a familiar figure appeared before them.

It was Schrödinger.

"Einstein, I've found their location."

"It's me! I was looking forward to my appearance even before the movie started." Schrödinger guessed that the foreshadowing of "himself" becoming quantum in the web series would be related to the Sea of Quanta.

"Wow, that's great!" Edison said calmly.

"Teacher! Look at her!" Schrödinger decided to tell the teacher.

Planck smiled gently. "Alright, Edison, don't bully her too much."

"They really can't take a joke." Edison scoffed at Schrödinger's tactic of arguing with the teacher when he couldn't win an argument.

"What did you say!"

Planck chuckled and separated the two.

"Hey, you still haven't logged off, you scraggly head?" Tesla looked at Einstein in surprise.

"What's so strange about that, Dr. Tesla? Eliminating an important character without any foreshadowing is the most foolish development," Einstein said calmly.

"However, the fact that Dr. Schrödinger didn't actually go offline is beyond my expectations. I originally thought it was just her own perception," Einstein continued.

"I can probably already picture Schrödinger looking at Edison with a proud expression," Tesla chuckled.

Einstein smiled.

Welt Young didn't get a word in edgewise throughout, which was somewhat awkward.

Should I not be here?

Welt Young couldn't help but ask himself the same question.

Einstein re-established contact with Bronya and learned that the serpent had taken the Gem of Hopes and left the Sea of Quanta.

But at this moment, Einstein couldn't care less about the bad news; instead, he told Bronya to hurry back to reality via the nearest passage.

Bronya told Einstein that Welt was still alive. This surprised Einstein, but he couldn't worry about that now and could only let the two of them go first.

Bronya grabbed Seele's hand and ran towards the nearest passage, constantly spouting wild flags.

"Bronya will... she absolutely will get you out of the Sea of Quanta ..."

"I suddenly had a bad feeling..."

Kiana was startled. Although she knew that Bronya was probably alright, she couldn't help but worry. After all, no one knew what Yaqing's brain circuits were thinking.

Especially Seele's line, "Seele will go back with her sister, and we will never be separated again!", followed by Bronya's silence, made everyone's hearts leap into their throats. That last line was such a classic flag.

"Probably not..." Mei wasn't too sure either.

"There are protagonists in the Honkai series, the first movie's female lead was supposed to be Cecilia, but in the end she was still given to..." Theresa didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

"That's right. For example, none of us would have thought that I would still be in a state of uncertainty about whether I am alive or dead." Himeko felt that she was unlikely to survive.

"Headmistress, Himeko- sensei..." Bronya looked speechlessly at the two boring adults... Sorry, one of them didn't look like an adult based on his build.

"Bronya, I have a feeling you're thinking something very rude." Theresa noticed Bronya's scrutinizing gaze.

"The other one said..." Seele said weakly, "If the plot really develops like this, she will have to go and have a 'reason' with Brother Yaqing."

In the back row, Pardo was more curious about Welt than worried about Bronya. She asked Sakura next to her, "Sakura, do you think Welt might die in the Sea of Quanta if he doesn't escape?"

Sakura's expression was strange.

She can confirm her character's death, but as for Welt's death, probably no one except the screenwriter knows.

Welt Young, a man who seemed to have no lifespan.

He belongs to the living.

The women sitting in the front row all looked at Cheng Lixue at the same time. They remembered that the following plot was written by Cheng Lixue working overtime to finish it.

Cheng Lixue was stunned.

Yaqing's voice echoed in my mind.

"Make it bigger while keeping it smaller, make it smaller while keeping it bigger, make it more colorful when it's black, and make it more black when it's white."

The sound of rapid breathing filled the air as the massive stone steps, resembling a roulette wheel, slowly rotated, collapsing with each turn. Bronya and Seele were desperately running towards the end.

Above the stone steps is the Abyss Flower Eye, opened by Einstein, which projects colorful light that pours down from above.

Just as Bronya and Seele were about to reach the exit, viscous, oil-like tentacles grabbed Seele's leg, seemingly trying to drag her back into the abyss.

Bronya reacted quickly, using her high-heeled boots to slow down, severing the tentacles with her dagger, grabbing Seele's hand, and continuing towards the exit.

Just as they were about to reach the pillar of light, the tentacles enveloped the two of them once again, Bronya used all her strength to throw Seele toward the exit.
