Aponia: Bad Children Must Be Punished

No one could have predicted it.

Grandpa Xing is not only not included in the main storyline, but Bronya also hasn't thought of her.

Chapter 504 Aponia: Bad Kids Should Be Punished

[The main story begins after the prologue ends. Adam wakes up from his coma, staggers to his feet, and the plot of Honkai 1 flashes through his mind like a memory.]

Adam then realized that he was not in the Aten Magic City in Saint Fontaine.

Looking at the beautiful scenery around him, he endured the excruciating pain in his body. Just as he found the Godfire Trial, his body, which was being Honkai energy, recoiled as if he had been electrocuted.

As if things weren't bad enough, Adam was practically at his wit's end when, just then, several alien monsters peeked out from the other side of the wall and charged at Adam.

Just as the sharp, gleaming claws were about to injure Adam, a sexy, long, white-stockinged leg suddenly appeared in the frame, sliding across the monster for a long time before transforming into Project Bunny lightsaber and slashing at the other two monsters.

While fighting, Big Bronya was also reminding Adam that, given his current physical condition, it was best not to touch the Godfire Trial.

After smoothly defeating the monster with a series of attacks, Bronya then introduced herself to Adam.

"It is Schicksal's will, yes, the acting captain of the Honkai Second Squad— Bronya Zaychik. Just remember Bronya."

"As you know, Schicksal has four special forces units against Honkai. You may have heard of the captain of the second team, but she has to carry out another mission and will not be able to be here for a while."

"So I'll be acting as their temporary agent; to put it bluntly, I'm being forced into this role."

"Pfft."

The last sentence was originally unambiguous, but when Bronya said it, it made everyone laugh so hard they almost fell over, and the number of comments on the screen suddenly increased.

"Forced into doing something against one's will? That's hilarious! It's true, forcing someone into becoming an agent is like forcing a duck into a business, hahaha!"

Adam: Okay, Aunt Duck.

"Her breasts are so big!"

The comments section was filled with noise.

Elysia couldn't maintain her gentle and ladylike demeanor and let out a goose-like laugh. She turned around and realized she was being live-streamed, and her laughter stopped abruptly.

"I have to say, the screenwriter must be surfing the internet all the time. Was this intentional?"

Ling laughed extremely happily.

"Um."

Kosma nodded expressionlessly.

"But then again, if you look closely, Bronya really has changed a lot as she grows up. In just eight years, her body has undergone tremendous growth, especially in that area..."

Elysia adjusted her glasses, adopting a professional demeanor.

"Sister Elysia, where did you get your glasses?"

Ling was surprised and made a comment.

Just moments ago, Elysia wasn't wearing her glasses when she turned to look at Kosma's expression out of curiosity, and suddenly Elysia found herself wearing a pair of glasses.

Moreover, the glasses felt familiar to her; she was sure she had seen them somewhere before.

"Oh, you mean this? Mei left it when she came to my room last time?"

Elysia blurted out and put the glasses back on the bedside table.

Ling was terrified.

Everyone living in the Golden Courtyard knows about Elysia's "hunting" philosophy; basically, any pretty older or younger sister falls within her "hunting" range.

Coupled with Elysia's ambiguous tone and the location where the glasses appeared.

Ling unconsciously made some connections...

Could it be that Mei has already fallen victim to Elysia's evil deeds?

Seeing the expression on Rin's face, Elysia knew what she was thinking and smiled brightly.

"Okay, okay? I was just kidding. When Mei and I did a live stream together last time, my eyes got tired from staring at the screen for so long, so she just left her glasses on the bedside table, like that~?"

Elysia blinked, feigning a cute pose.

Ling still looked doubtful.

"Everyone in the live stream can vouch for me!"

Elysia pointed to the screen that was still broadcasting live, raised her hand, and swore an oath to the heavens.

"Mei is very beautiful, gentle yet rational, and exudes an intellectual and knowledgeable aura. She can also create a contrast with Mei, but..."

As Elysia finished speaking, her voice suddenly softened, as if she herself felt somewhat insecure.

"... But Miss Pink Elf would never betray Eden!!!"

The viewers in the live stream were also a group of people who loved watching the drama unfold.

"Yes, I can vouch for it! Miss Purple Sparrow was watching the live stream with Miss Pink Elf last time!"

"They're definitely not doing anything inappropriate for minors!"

"Indeed, indeed! Look, Miss Pink Elf is even holding up three fingers to swear!"

The normal way to do it is to hold up four fingers, but even that was pointed out by viewers in the live stream.

As the viewers in the live stream made things worse, Kevin, who was secretly watching the live stream, felt like the sky was falling.

The key issue is that he has no other choice but to swallow his pride and bear the consequences.

"Cough cough cough..."

As Elysia watched the comments scrolling through the live stream, she coughed several times before deliberately changing the subject.

"Uh... let's not talk about that! How about we guess who the leader of the second squad is?"

Elysia abruptly changed the subject.

Ling simply sighed for Kevin.

"I still think it's Seele!"

Ling's choice was exactly the same as that of many viewers.

After all, Bronya could temporarily act as her substitute for is definitely not a newcomer, or someone who hasn't appeared in the story yet. Moreover, the only person Bronya would willingly act as her substitute for is probably Seele.

Kosma remained silent, but he continued speaking.

After a brief self-introduction, Bronya told him that they were still in the environment of Saint Fontaine and needed to leave as soon as possible.

Because Adam's Honkai energy had already reached the corners of his eyes, if he were to wield that sword again, the damage to his body would be irreversible.

So we need to find a place to get proper treatment first.

After constantly eliminating the monsters that suddenly appeared, we finally arrived at a relatively safe garage.

Bronya told Adam to prepare himself mentally, that the upcoming treatment would be painful, and then she quickly pulled out an item.

The Lunar Ring, a derivative research of the Moonlight Throne system, can store Honkai energy as a regular energy source and carry it. It is more suitable for individual combat than the Moonlight Throne, but what is needed now is an attack that converts Honkai energy.

The Lunar Ring can absorb and convert excess Honkai energy within Adam's body, but this is only an emergency measure and cannot completely cure the problem.

The rejection reaction caused by the treatment was excruciating pain that most people could hardly bear, but Adam didn't utter a sound, which made Bronya sigh.

After the treatment, the Honkai energy erosion patterns on Adam's face did indeed diminish considerably, but they only diminished, not disappeared. To completely eradicate them, professional treatment would still be needed.

Bronya told Adam that as long as he wore the Lunar Ring, there would be no danger of the Honkai erosion intensifying, provided that he did not use the restrictive functions of the Godfire Trial. If he could agree to this, he would be allowed to rejoin the team.

Adam brought up his promise to Mei.

Bronya understood his persistence; if it came to a last resort, he would give his life to use the divine fire for the trial.

Bronya, naturally, didn't say much. She could only try her best to make the situation seem less bad.

Elysia's beautiful eyes lit up as she precisely targeted her goal.

She noticed Adam's reaction upon hearing Bronya's name; his response was one of surprise and admiration.

Bronya... one of the heroes of that battle?

Bronya and Mei are both considered heroes of that battle, so it's highly likely that the only remaining one is the same.

The great battle of Schicksal is known to all, but what exactly does it mean? I'm sure everyone already has the answer in their hearts.

Aside from fighting Kevin, it's about facing the Finality.

"Hey, hey, hey... Kiana hasn't appeared in Post-Honkai Odyssey, could she be the Herrscher of the End?"

Ling made a joke.

"Ring, you really love to joke. Kiana has already mastered the Five Core Greatsword. She is the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Finality, and also has the Herrscher Core of Death within her. If she becomes the Herrscher of the End later, then she will be doing the work of four Herrscher all by herself."

Elysia joked.

"You might as well just say Kiana is the daughter of the Collapse God; the writers would never dare to write that!"

Kosma initially thought it was impossible, but after Elysia made her promise, he hesitated.

It's common knowledge that most of the flags Elysia sets up will come true.

It's as if the writers are deliberately making things difficult for Elysia.

"The Moon Throne?! Did we hear that right? This little thing is actually using the Moonlight Throne system."

Pardo's ears stood up like a cat's.

The Lunar Ring may not be familiar to many viewers, but the Moonlight Throne is far more memorable, with the most recent example being Bronya's peak.

In one fell swoop, he created several Moonlight Throne, blasting open the protective shield of constraints.

"Adam, you're something else."

Kalpas's tone did not change much.

But those who know him well know that this is the highest praise he could give.

"No, not really. At least I definitely couldn't be like myself in the story."

Adam had a clear understanding of himself.

Even a battle-hardened warrior like Bronya felt the need to cry out to alleviate the pain, so how could he possibly remain silent in reality? But this is the story, and sorry, it's really possible.

Lyle bit down hard on the handkerchief.

Originally, he and Adam were equally popular in the sanatorium, and he was even slightly more popular than Adam with his eloquence. However, since the release of Post-Honkai Odyssey, Adam's popularity has skyrocketed.

Lyle could no longer match Adam.

Now even his boss, Brother Jie, is praising Adam!

"Hurry up, why haven't I appeared yet? Hurry up, come out and crush Adam..."

Lyle mumbled something under his breath.

Little Void, who was sitting closest, heard the muttering and shook his head with a sigh.

Lyle still hasn't figured things out. Adam is clearly the protagonist of Post-Honkai Odyssey. He's a character who only appears in the second part, at most the second male lead. How could he possibly overpower the protagonist?

When they heard the final promise, everyone in the nursing home changed their expressions.

"No... no way? Adam won't die in the end because he overused the Godfire Trial to protect Mei and the others, will he?"

Pardo stammered.

Although Aponia's smile remained gentle, it was clear that a murderous intent was lurking in her eyes.

She was able to control Kalpas's rage not because she knew how to persuade or comfort him, but because she simply suppressed it with sheer force.

The person you absolutely shouldn't mess with in the Golden Courtyard is Eden, because she's the landlady; the second person you shouldn't mess with is Aponia, because...

This is a consensus.

"Holy crap!"

Lyle nearly jumped off the sofa.

He wanted to surpass Adam in popularity, but he didn't want Adam to die in battle!
