After hearing Mei's words, Dong Moxuan and Kiana stopped their idle chatter and began to earnestly deal with the Titans and Bronya in front of them.

Mei's swordsmanship was peerless, and Kiana's marksmanship was astonishing. For a time, they could barely handle these Titans.

However, when Bronya joined the battlefield, the situation completely changed.

Bronya was already stronger than Mei and Kiana, and with the encirclement of a group of Titans, they soon felt their stamina failing.

Seeing this, Dong Moxuan, who had been slacking off, could only summon a scythe and join the fray.

"Brother..."

Looking at the changes in Dong Moxuan's body and the Honkai Energy permeating his surroundings, Bronya, who was controlling the Heavy-on-Rabbit, her pupils contracted sharply.

However, she knew this was not the time to be concerned, and she could only fight more seriously.

This forbidden power, what has Brother...

What has he experienced all these years?

With Dong Moxuan's addition, the tide of battle immediately turned.

Although his displayed strength was not much stronger than Mei and Kiana's, his scythe could inflict fatal damage on the Titans.

The reason Mei and Kiana had been at a disadvantage before was that their current means were difficult to damage the Titans.

After all, the Titans were such large metal hulks, and Mei and Kiana only had a Tachi and two pistols. They couldn't discharge electricity or summon cat claws, making it truly difficult to damage the sturdy Titans.

After Dong Moxuan severed several Titans with a few swings of his scythe, Mei and Kiana created an opening. The two of them jointly attacked Bronya, and then, as Dong Moxuan had expected... they were sent flying.

"Ugh, this guy..."

Barely able to stand up from the ground, Kiana's beautiful blue eyes were filled with seriousness.

"So strong!"

"..."

Mei didn't speak, but her expression showed that her thoughts were the same as Kiana's.

"Hey, Porn轩, where did you provoke such a powerful enemy? This is so troublesome!"

Kiana complained somewhat irritably.

However, from her subtle actions of protecting Dong Moxuan, it could be seen that she had no intention of abandoning Dong Moxuan and running away.

"Give up, Brother."

On the other side, Bronya, who had the upper hand, had no intention of pursuing her victory. She looked at the young man in front of her and spoke again, trying to persuade him.

"With just you guys, it's impossible to defeat Bronya."

Bronya's tone was devoid of any emotion, and she clearly didn't take Mei and Kiana seriously.

In fact, it made sense. Although Mei and Kiana might have extraordinary swordsmanship (marksmanship) now, they had never received formal Valkyrie training and were not wearing any Valkyrie armor. Their strength was at most that of a B-class Valkyrie.

But Bronya was Cocolia's trump card, one of Anti-Entropy's elite forces, and with the Heavy-on-Rabbit given by Seele, her strength was at least that of an A-class Valkyrie.

If Bronya could be defeated by the combined efforts of Kiana and Mei as in the original story, it would not be logical.

Although Kiana and Mei were the protagonists and their combat power could not be judged by their rank, Bronya was also from one of the Three Great Families.

As long as Mei and Kiana fought properly and didn't cheat by becoming Herrschers, Bronya would still have the absolute upper hand.

Of course, the gap between Kiana and Mei and Bronya was not insurmountable. Coupled with Dong Moxuan, whose strength seemed not inferior to theirs and whose attack power was more prominent, the three of them, with a little burst of power, might still have a chance to win.

It was just that, due to the actions of a certain ruthless person who ran away, Bronya's strength was more than twice what it was in the original story. Even in her normal state, she had already faintly touched the realm of an S-class Valkyrie.

Therefore, she felt that Dong Moxuan and the others had no chance of winning.

"Hey, Brother,"

Looking at Dong Moxuan, Bronya's eyes were filled with sincerity.

"Rosaliya, Liliya, and everyone else miss you very much."

"As for Miss Mei, Bronya will ask Mother Cocolia not to harm her."

"So, Brother..."

"I'm sorry, Bronya, I really can't agree to this."

Although he felt reluctant, Dong Moxuan truly couldn't agree to Bronya's request.

Bronya "..."

After being rejected by Dong Moxuan again, Bronya finally gave up on persuading him.

She controlled the remaining few Titans and surrounded Dong Moxuan and the others.

"Then... Bronya will personally bring Brother back!"

The girl made such a declaration for the second time and launched her attack.

"Sigh~"

Looking at Bronya's serious expression, Dong Moxuan sighed softly.

He knew that words could not change Bronya's mind.

So, at this point, all he could do was...

Show a little bit of his true strength!

Thinking this, an incredibly powerful surge of Honkai Energy instantly erupted from him.

His body flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Bronya. With a single scythe strike, he cleaved the Heavy-on-Rabbit in two, then placed the scythe at Bronya's neck. This entire process took less than a second.

Bronya hadn't even had time to react before Dong Moxuan defeated her.

"How... how is this possible..."

Feeling the cold on her neck, Bronya found it hard to believe what had happened.

"Heavy-on-Rabbit..."

"Stop calling for it, Bronya. Your Heavy-on-Rabbit probably won't be able to answer your summons for a while."

The Heavy-on-Rabbit was a gift from Seele to Bronya for her protection, possessing self-repair capabilities.

This was precisely why Dong Moxuan had no hesitation in slicing the Heavy-on-Rabbit in half.

However, the Heavy-on-Rabbit's recovery ability was limited. After such severe damage, it would be unable to fight for at least half an hour.

And a large portion of Bronya's strength was invested in the Heavy-on-Rabbit, so...

"You lost, Bronya!"

Dong Moxuan looked at the girl before him and quietly declared.

"Hey, am I seeing things?"

Kiana, who had just finished dealing with a Titan nearby, looked at Dong Moxuan's near-instantaneous victory over Bronya, her jaw practically hitting the floor in surprise.

"That guy Xuan is actually that strong!"

Mei, while not as exaggerated as Kiana, also showed surprise in her striking purple eyes.

"Bronya... lost?"

After repeatedly calling for her Heavy-on-Rabbit with no response, Bronya finally accepted the reality. Her lips parted slightly, her gaze vacant.

She never expected that Dong Moxuan, whom she had missed so dearly, would be this powerful.

After a long silence, Bronya finally lifted her head.

"That's right, Bronya... lost..."

Her voice was filled with sadness and dejection. She looked at Dong Moxuan and couldn't help but question, "So, big brother, do you hate Bronya that much?"
