An Excited Lyle, a Cool and Distant Bronya (cont.)
"Mission accomplished... rescuing comrades... of course I'm..."
"Everything must be done—!!!"
Carol began to gather her strength, the energy in her fists condensing wildly, as if in a final burst of energy before death. Gasping for breath, she had successfully defeated the [Emperor], and she seemed to be able to feel an endless stream of power.
Just as they were about to leave with Adam and Mei, many more monsters appeared, as if they were endless.
Carol was full of energy at that moment.
"Hey, watch out behind you."
A cold voice reached Carol's ears. She turned her head, and a small monster that was about to launch a sneak attack vanished instantly.
"You did a great job, Carol Pepper."
As the monster vanished, a cool and beautiful woman appeared on camera.
"Who are you?"]
Carol is certainly a sight to behold.
But the audience's attention was not on that at all; instead, they were staring intently at the last woman to appear, a cool and aloof beauty who was both familiar and unfamiliar. Despite the changes in her figure, her face remained the same as before.
Bronya!
Elysia's beautiful eyes lit up.
If the Bronya is described as emotionless, then the Bronya in front of us gives off a cool and aloof vibe.
That aloofness seemed to keep people at arm's length, giving people an inexplicable desire to conquer.
It's so addictive.
"I wonder what Sister Bronya has been eating these past eight years!"
Ling glanced down.
While it can't be called equal, it can never be called great either. At best, it's a little Fu Hua, and it's on the same level as Little Knowledge.
Little Knowledge has a cleavage. Although the two are identical twins, there are subtle differences in their body shapes. Fu Hua is really flat-chested, and you can't tell the difference even if she's only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Little Knowledge, on the other hand, has a cleavage that is slightly different from a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling).
Ling could only console herself in her heart.
She's still growing and will definitely grow up someday. There's definitely no problem with her genes. Her older sister, Sakura, may not be considered big, but she's definitely not small either.
At the same time.
Sirin, who was taking a break from her frantic work to finish the series, was also watching the show. She was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, then subconsciously rubbed her flat chest with both hands and sighed.
She can be said to be on the same level as Fu Hua.
"Kiana said that Bronya grew to this size in just 4 years, which is 4 years faster than in the story. I really don't know what she ate!"
Sirin muttered.
He glanced at Bella, especially at her ample bosom.
Sirin was dejected.
Although she is the second oldest of the three Kaslana sisters, from some peculiar perspectives, she is far inferior to Kiana and Durandal.
[The timeline rewinds to the third squad. Shortly after entering the Sub-Heavenly Demon God, Bronya arrived in Saint Fontaine to provide reinforcements. The first squad is still on its way, and the fourth squad cannot be contacted for the time being.]
At present, the only person we can count on Bronya, the acting captain of the second team.
Bronya's Icarus System was low on energy due to her impressive landing, and she could only replenish her Honkai energy by using the scattered red crystals. However, the constant appearance of small monsters forced her to refrain from taking action first.
When the Icarus System was fully charged, Theresa brought good news: Bronya's two teammates had also arrived in Saint Fontaine.
"Hey, can you hear me, Captain?"
A male voice came from the other end of the communication.
Although the audience wasn't so resistant to the sudden appearance of a male character and pairing him with characters they were familiar with after Adam's debut, the appearance of yet another one still surprised them.
"I heard you clearly. You're the sniper Lyle Collodi, right?"
Lyle was very excited to have his file seen by this legendary hero and to have made an impression on him.
Another team member, Timido, seemed a little too shy.
The other side was quickly attacked, and the call was cut off. Bronya had no choice but to tell her temporary team to hold on, and she would go to provide support soon.
Since Theresa became the bishop, the four squads mentioned in the Post-Honkai Odyssey have sparked much speculation among viewers.
Some say Rita, some say Durandal, and some say Seele.
"Bronya was just the acting captain, so who was the original captain of the second squad?"
Elysia was puzzled.
The captains were also mentioned in Post-Honkai Odyssey 1. Elysia guessed that the captain of the fourth team would be Durandal, since there was probably no one else besides Durandal who could make Mei feel that she was very strong.
"Is it possible that the original captain of the second acting team was Seele?"
Given Seele's situation and combat strength, she will definitely be able to secure a place under Theresa's command, and it's not entirely impossible for her to become a squad leader.
They even heard Ling's guess.
The viewers in the live stream hoped it would be so. If Seele really was the captain of the second squad, it would represent a genuine get-out-of-jail-free card. In the last chapter, the writer's three feints almost scared them to death.
"Pfft."
Elysia couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Bronya's entrance was extremely cool, especially the part where she jumped down from the building. However, Theresa soon said that Icarus had used up all his energy during the landing.
On second thought, Bronya's dashing entrance had exhausted the system's energy.
"Bronya really hasn't changed at all."
Elysia sighed.
"Hmm... Lyle?"
Ling paused for a moment.
As someone of the same age, she understood Lyle better Elysia.
Lyle had long envied and been jealous of Adam for becoming the protagonist of Post-Honkai Odyssey.
Now that he sees himself about to appear, I wonder how happy he will be.
Ling was right.
Lyle was in the sanatorium at that moment, almost jumped up with joy and shook Adam's shoulders wildly.
"Adam! Adam! Did you see that?!"
Lyle was extremely excited; kids of this age all have a touch of adolescent angst.
Especially seeing their good brother wreaking havoc in the anime, the ending of the Post-Honkai Odyssey 3rd attracted countless fans.
Lyle was eagerly anticipating his appearance.
"It's so noisy!"
Suddenly, she shouted something while cooking in the kitchen with her mother, Aponia.
Lyle was immediately startled and dared not speak loudly again, but his expression remained excited.
Pardo lay lazily on the ground, just like a cat.
"Honestly, I don't know why you guys are so agitated?"
Pardo yawned and stretched, the warm sunlight shining on her.
"Sister Pardo, you don't understand, this is a man's reserve!"
Lyle emphasized this earnestly.
"Yes, yes, I don't understand."
Pardo's performance was extremely perfunctory.
Lyle couldn't care less about any of that right now; his eyes were glued to the screen.
"My teammate's name is Timidore, Lyle. Do you know this Timidore? I thought my teammate would be the big sister."
Adam asked.
Lyle thought about it carefully and then shook his head.
"I don't know him."
Before Bronya even reached her destination, she saw Lyle setting up a heavy sniper rifle and using it to eliminate the monsters on the bridge.
Just as Lyle and Timidore were about to meet up with Bronya told them to stay put and wait, as she was going alone to the Upper Aten Magic City to find the Third Squad, who had lost contact.
Lyle and Timidore's mission was to maintain communication with headquarters, guard the evacuation route, and if they did not receive her instructions after half an hour, they should decisively evacuate and rejoin the other teams.
Let's push the timeline back to the present.
Bronya had already met Carol, told her her identity, and glanced at the two unconscious people on the ground.
Carol told Bronya everything that was happening.
Working together, the two fought their way through the monster horde, while Bronya keenly sensed that someone seemed unwilling to let them leave.
After killing the monster called Judgement, they seized the empty space where the monster had been created, Bronya supporting Adam and Carol carrying Mei on her back, preparing to return to Saint Fontaine the way they came.
Bronya suddenly frowned.
Because she saw signs of Dead Soldiers in Adam.
This is definitely not a good sign.
Eight years later, Bronya brings a completely new kind of battle to the audience, not the kind where she hits people with a motorcycle.
However, this is not surprising, since 99% of the Honkai energy is sealed on the moon, and even the Herrscher Core is probably not inside her body. Bronya's ability to display such combat power is already quite impressive.
"Becoming Dead Soldiers?"
Kalpas's face, clad in a mask, revealed no emotion.
If 99% of the Honkai energy on Earth were sealed on the moon, then the transformation into Dead Soldiers would be extremely unlikely. Therefore, Carol most likely never even saw what Dead Soldiers looks like.
"It seems to be a side effect of the Godfire Trial."
Adam guessed.
His performance at the end of Post-Honkai Odyssey 1 was too powerful, so powerful that he lived up to the reputation of being a master of fire-type greatswords.
"Honestly, Bronya actually left me behind. If I had gone up there, I definitely wouldn't have been weaker than Adam!"
Lyle has great confidence in his plot's combat power.
I don't know why, maybe it was a promise that Yaqing made casually back then.
Even Yaqing herself may have forgotten.
"Forget about it. Mei already said that I'm the only one who can control the Godfire Trial!"
Men always have a strange competitive spirit.
Adam immediately started arguing with Lyle.
It consists of just a few sentences: I am strong, I am stronger than you, I am even stronger, and so on.
"If we're not mistaken, Timidore is probably the daughter of some high-ranking executive at Schicksal. It just so happens that all the men are children from your Miss Asia Sanatorium, and all the women are daughters of high-ranking executives at Schicksal."
Pardo stretched again.
She has never made a mistake when it comes to intelligence matters.
Meanwhile, Bronya, watching her battle from inside ETStudio, felt quite puzzled.
Perhaps it's about seeing another version of yourself.
Because previous Honkai anime used her pre-development appearance, this is the first time her image has truly been brought to the screen.
So they couldn't react for a moment.
"I wonder if Seele will appear later?"
Bronya smiled.
She was really looking forward to seeing what Seele would be like in 8 years, or whether Rosalia and Lilia would be more mature in 8 years.
