Otto's Live Disembowelment, Burying the Maiden of Chasing Winds' Last Hope
"Your wings are not meant to be destroyed. You're just... too tired."
Bronya's voice was calm, yet it was like a ray of light that shone into Wendy's dark inner world.
Encouraged by her, the frenzied purple in Wendy's eyes gradually faded, and a sliver of clarity returned.
Seeing this, everyone from the Douluo Continent breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great! There's still hope!" Ning Rongrong's face lit up with joy.
"This girl named Bronya may seem Bingbing, but she's not a bad person at heart," Zi, who was standing next to Ye Yinzhu, said softly.
However, they were too quick to celebrate.
This is, after all, a review that leaves one with a lingering sense of injustice.
Hope is merely a prelude to deeper despair.
The scene shifts, and a woman wearing a fox mask appears on the screen, her voice filled with seductive allure and an unquestionable command.
[Cocolia, the Anti-Entropy Harbinger]
[Bronya, execute the order: capture the Fourth Herrscher.]
"What?!" Huo Yuhao jumped to his feet.
He saw Bronya's eyes instantly become vacant, and her body began to move uncontrollably.
[The biochip inside Bronya's brain is remotely controlled by Cocolia.]
The cold, hard subtitles revealed the cruel truth.
"Damn it! It's manipulation again!" Zhou Weiqing cursed. "How dare this woman named Cocolia!"
"Using one child to manipulate another, to make her attack a friend with whom you've just built trust..." Lie Yan's voice trembled, a flame ignited by extreme anger.
Ji Dong pulled her into his arms, but the killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible.
Within the Light Screen, a battle erupted.
The cannon of "Heavy Bunny" flashed with a deadly light, mercilessly blasting towards Wendy, who had just regained a semblance of herself.
"Bronya... why?"
Wendy's face was filled with unbelievable sadness.
She couldn't understand why the person who had just given her warmth would turn on her with a knife in the blink of an eye.
The pain of this betrayal was more excruciating than the failure of the experiment or the paralysis of the body.
It completely shattered Wendy's last line of defense.
"Aaaaaaah--!"
The power of the Wind Law User went completely berserk, and a devastating storm swept everything away.
But Bronya, now under her control, transforms into the most precise and ruthless hunter. She exploits Wendy's emotional vulnerabilities to launch deadly attacks time and time again.
This was an incredibly fierce battle.
It was an incredibly heartbreaking tragedy.
One was powerless to control his own destiny, the other was utterly despondent.
"Stop hitting me..." Tang Wulin's lips trembled, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, golden blood dripping from between his fingers.
He seemed to see himself, the shadow of someone struggling in despair, betrayed by those closest to him.
Gu Yuena gently took his hand; a storm was brewing in her eyes.
Finally, under the Full Power Attack of "Heavy Bunny," the berserk Wendy collapsed from exhaustion and fell from the sky.
She reverted to being that frail young girl, lying helplessly amidst the ruins.
Bronya, under Cocolia's manipulation, gradually moves towards her.
At that moment, a single tear rolled down Bronya's cheek.
Her body was being controlled, but her soul was weeping.
"Stop... please, stop..."
This was Bronya's inner cry, yet it could not be heard in the slightest.
Everyone in Light Screen fell silent.
Hai Long, Tian Hen, Ning Tian... even these men with resolute wills had tears welling up in their eyes.
They are not afraid of seeing heroes die on the battlefield, but they cannot bear this extreme tragedy.
The deepest trust was exchanged for the cruelest betrayal.
Use the truest goodwill to carry out the most evil orders.
In the scene, the forces of Schicksal arrive and surround the weakened Wendy.
A blond, arrogant man walked over. He looked at Wendy on the ground with no pity in his Kamisato, only greed for experimental material.
[Otto Apocalypse, Bishop of Schicksal.]
"Finally... I've caught you, my Wind Law User."
His voice was soft, yet more chilling than the whispers of a demon.
He didn't care whether Wendy lived or died; all he wanted was the Herrscher core inside her.
What happened next completely changed the expressions of all the God King.
There was no trial, no imprisonment.
The cold, mechanical arms reappeared, this time targeting Wendy's Herrscher core on her chest.
That was something intertwined with her life!
"No--!"
Tang San's roar resounded throughout the Divine Realm, and the terrifying Divine Slaughter's Domain erupted uncontrollably, engulfing the entire God Realm Committee in a bloody hue.
Forcibly removing the Herrscher's core is tantamount to ripping out her heart while she's still alive!
Within the Light Screen, Wendy's body convulsed violently, her life force rapidly fading away.
Her eyes took one last look at Bronya, who stood not far away, tears streaming down her face, unable to move.
There was no hatred in those Kamisato.
Only endless sorrow and a sliver of... relief.
Finally... it can end now.
This painful life.
As the Herrscher core was completely stripped away, Wendy's body went limp and she fell silent.
The wind has stopped.
That girl who longed to fly freely in the sky ultimately fell to the cold ground like a withered feather.
Dead silence.
The entire Douluo World fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone felt as if a huge boulder was blocking their chest, making it hard to breathe.
"Brute!!"
It's unclear who roared first, but then, a boundless rage erupted simultaneously across all worlds.
"Schicksal! Otto! Cocolia! These bastards!!" Zhou Weiqing's eyes were bloodshot, and his Holy Power surged wildly.
"How... how dare they... how could they do this..." Xiao Xiao sobbed uncontrollably, held tightly in Bei Bei's arms.
Tang Wulin's body trembled, not from fear, but from extreme rage. The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him roared, and an impulse to destroy everything grew within him.
"Wulin!" Gu Yuena tightened her grip, using her strength to soothe him. But her own face was colder than ten-thousand-year-old ice.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.
He sensed it.
Wendy's endless sorrow before her death.
Bronya's heart-wrenching regret and helplessness.
And in that man named Otto, there was that disgusting, pure malice.
"Is this... the world of Honkai?"
"A world where even heroes are used as experimental subjects, where even kindness is exploited to inflict torture..."
The Divine Realm.
Tang San's Killing Intent had reached its peak, causing even Niu Tian and Tai Tan beside him to feel a chill.
"The other woman..." Ning Rongrong looked at him with concern.
