Bronya, You Wouldn't Want Anything to Happen to Seele...

First, he must become stronger, so strong that Otto would have to respect his opinion;

The second option is also to become stronger and gain the ability to revive Kallen.

As things stand, neither of these paths is particularly difficult for Gwen; they simply both require some time...

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Bronya's eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth as if to speak, but ultimately did not utter those words—

"Your identity is indeed questionable."

So what if there are problems?

Gwen Silver Wolf willing to pay any price to bring Seele back to his side, let alone just a false identity.

Similarly, Bronya also saw Gwen's sincerity in his words—

Gwen is basically capable of rescuing Seele from the Sea of Quantum.

So... it's time to show Bronya's sincerity.

Having made her decision, Bronya gently closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they held a hint of resolve.

"Mother Cocolia didn't reveal her plan to Bronya. Through her own investigation, Bronya learned that the plan seems to be related to your classmate Raiden Mei— "

Within her body lies a gem implanted by her father, Raiden Ryoma ...

You can think of it as a super artifact in the Homu Adventure series, which can grant people incredibly powerful strength under certain conditions.

Bronya's mission is to monitor your actions and prevent you from doing anything that could influence the plan or hinder Seele's return from the Sea of Quantum.

Although Bronya had some affection for Cocolia, who had spared her life and taken her in at the Cocolia Orphanage, that affection was already deeply shattered the moment Seele fell into the Sea of Quantum.

It wasn't severed because Bronya still harbored feelings for Seele, for the other people in the orphanage, and for the hope of rescuing Seele.

However, Bronya wouldn't hesitate much when faced with the hope of rescuing Seele.

"Laugh..."

Gwen scoffed at this, making no attempt to hide his sarcasm.

"I don't know if she can rescue them, but if she succeeds in her plan, Seele's way back will definitely be stained with the blood and bones of innocent people."

"You seem to know something that Bronya doesn't."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Bronya immediately understood and tentatively asked.

"The word 'Honkai' should not be completely unfamiliar to you."

Gwen asked the question knowing the answer already.

"Um..."

Having completely abandoned her previous plan, Bronya no longer concealed anything and agreed, calmly looking at Gwen, wanting to see what Gwen could say, and also to see what the hidden forces behind Gwen could find out.

"Then, you should also know about the Second Honkai War."

Bronya, not entirely sure of Bronya's current level of understanding of the Honkai, proceeded to confirm Gwen step by step.

"In the early 21st century, a Honkai disaster erupted in Siberia, almost completely destroying this permafrost and affecting all surrounding countries."

I heard Seele mention your age; you were probably just born back then.

Bronya had heard some surviving veterans talk about it.

But Bronya knew much more than that.

Bronya, unaware of the close connection between her orphanhood and the disaster, shook her head, expressing her confusion.

"Ha, the adopted daughter of the Anti-Entropy anti-entropy executor doesn't even know the history of the Honkai, yet she's sent out on a mission..."

Snort!

"Damn warlord! What adopted daughter? She's nothing but a child soldier raised with a 'pampered' approach."

After casually uttering a curse, Gwen then began his formal introduction—

"In short, a Herrscher was born in Siberia more than a decade ago. Because of her own experiences and encounters, she chose to destroy human civilization."

The strongest among humanity joined forces with powerful forces and ultimately managed to defeat the Herrscher had the potential to completely destroy human civilization.

Judging from Cocolia's actions, what she wants to do is to make Raiden Mei, who possesses the power to Conquest Gem, the new Herrscher.

Do you understand what this means?

If she succeeds, the entire Far East could fall, potentially impacting East Asia and the west coast of the Americas, threatening the lives of hundreds of millions.

Regardless of the success rate of her ridiculous plan, even if it succeeds in the end, when Seele returns, she will be stepping on the blood and bones of these victims.

Do you think Seele would be willing to accept this?

With eyes as deep and blue as a storm-brewing sea, Gwen stared at Bronya and questioned Bronya in a low voice.

"..."

Bronya wanted to say that was absolutely impossible, that Mother Cocolia wasn't that kind of person.

But thinking of Seele, who was still in another world, and of her own disability, Bronya couldn't utter a rebuttal no matter what.

Moreover, Bronya has been watching Cocolia's changes over the years.

She is now very different from the Cocolia who adopted Bronya, and... she has actually done the deed of putting her adopted daughter on the experimental table...

Chapter 175 Bronya, you don't miss Seele either...

"..."

Bronya shook her head silently, offering no response to Gwen's words, but her silence spoke volumes.

Bronya couldn't be sure if Gwen's words were true, but she was certain that returning on a path built on the lives of hundreds of millions of people was definitely not what Seele wanted to see.

"To be honest, even though all the evidence and information are pointing in this direction, I'm still not entirely sure she would do such a thing—"

It's like I don't understand why she would do that kind of thing to Raiden Mei.

As he spoke words befitting his second identity, Gwen's lips curled into a mocking smile—

"However, I don't intend to try to understand what a madman is thinking."

After all, if I could understand the thoughts of a madman, then I'm probably not far from going mad myself.

Moreover, instead of trying to understand a madwoman's thoughts, wouldn't a better approach be to directly expose her self-righteous so-called plan?

"You are no match for Mother Cocolia."

Bronya frowned slightly upon hearing Gwen's words, clearly disagreeing with them.

"Although I will be sent on this mission, Mother Cocolia has many special forces that Bronya is no match for."

Bronya doesn't want you to take risks.

As she spoke, the Heavy-Duty Rabbit behind Bronya also raised its hand, its electronic eyes flashing slightly.

Gwen has demonstrated sufficient value and brought hope of rescuing Seele.

Bronya would never allow anything to happen to Gwen, given his current state.

Therefore, Bronya needs to stop Gwen's suicidal behavior—

Having witnessed firsthand the terrifying combat power of the Titan Unit, Bronya, who knew she was no match for them, did not want Gwen to take the risk.

As for reporting Gwen's situation to Cocolia...

Bronya doesn't have that idea for the time being.

She couldn't be sure whether, upon learning this news, Cocolia would be overjoyed to accept Gwen and set about rescuing Seele, or... send Gwen to the experimental table as well to continue the X-10 experiment.

"Little Bronya, it seems my overly kind attitude has caused you some kind of cognitive error—"

Seeing Bronya's ready-to-fight stance, Gwen's lips curled into a smile.

"If it weren't for considering Seele's feelings and being wary of how many time bombs your crazy foster mother has planted in Changkong City, I would have already twisted her head off."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gwen disappeared from Bronya's sight.

Almost simultaneously, the Heavy-Duty Rabbit, which had established a special connection with Bronya since its inception, lost that connection.

"!"

Bronya, her eyes widening instinctively, turned around and saw Gwyn holding a Heavy-Duty Rabbit that was bigger than both of them combined, as if he were holding a fat rabbit by the ear with Gwen.

"This is not a discussion, it is a notification, understand?"

"Seele, Seele's Sister Bronya, you wouldn't want Seele to return home all alone, would you?"

Gwen had a playful smile on his face, which was very similar to Otto's but had a more youthful vibe. If he walked down the street, he would probably turn heads like crazy among teenage girls.

However, to Bronya, the smile appeared somewhat sinister and terrifying under the bright lights of the living room.

"...

Bronya wants to observe you for a while to confirm whether you have the necessary confidence.

During this time, Bronya will keep your secret and handle the attention from Mother Cocolia.

Bronya glanced at the Heavy-Duty Rabbit, held captive by Gwen's hand and utterly powerless to resist. Knowing the enemy was far stronger and she was completely powerless, Bronya made a decisive choice, but also reserved her own opinion.

"If things don't work out, Bronya will help you escape from Changkong City with Raiden Mei to avoid Mother Cocolia's plans."

Although this seems like a betrayal of Mother Cocolia, since it's all for the purpose of saving Seele, then I'm just taking a shortcut.

Bronya, her small face calm, said this.

"Deal, little Bronya."

Having received the answer he wanted, Gwen's smile softened slightly. He raised his hand and ruffled Bronya's silver-gray hair, finding it smooth and silky to the touch.

"In the future, you will be glad you made the choice."

"Um..."

Bronya felt slightly uncomfortable as Gwen touched her, but she let him do as Gwen without resisting.

Shortly after, Gwen sent Bronya back to the next room, but instead of washing up as usual, he sat down at his desk, took out the specially made jewelry box from the lining of his clothes, and gently opened it to reveal a golden Crystal Flower that radiated a soft, warm light.

"Hello, unknown entity, thank you for your previous help."

Without making any unnecessary movements, Gwen carefully placed it in front of him, making sure the golden Crystal Flower was facing him, and softly greeted it.

Although a lot happened today, including a day trip to Belobog, a stroll in the Sea of Quantum, and encounters with Valkyrie Quicksilver and Bronya.

However, Gwen had not forgotten the voice that had reminded him in the Sea of Quantum.

In that situation, aside from the possibility that someone could be lurking nearby unnoticed, the only source of the sound Gwen could think of was the golden Crystal Flower he always carried with him.

Or rather, the souls that have quietly awakened within them.

"Hello."

When Gwen greeted her, the spirit within the golden Crystal Flower didn't feign death; instead, Gwen responded with a gentle, elegant, and poised voice.

As for gratitude...

I only gave a minor reminder.

If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you.

If it weren't for you, I should have vanished on that day long ago, instead of still being able to communicate with you in this state.

Although the owner of the voice was also somewhat confused about why she was in this state, she felt the connection between herself and Gwen very clearly.

"In that case, let's not stand on ceremony—"

Gwen chuckled as he listened to the other person's words and made a rough guess about their identity.

"Let me introduce myself first. Gwen, and my current surname is Caslana. I am a member of Schicksal, the anti- Honkai Schicksal of the current civilization, and I am currently carrying out a special mission."

"Hmm... you can call me Eden..."

If I remember correctly, it seems that many people call me that...
