Chapter 411
Bronya Two, from a parallel world, was completely bewildered.
"Ah, it's Big Sister Bronya! Big Sister Bronya, something terrible has happened! Bronya fainted from excitement!!"
"Welcome, Big Sister Bronya! We've got something delicious to eat today!"
"Hmm, welcome..."
"Tch... You don't need to waste your money on these two idiots."
Before Bronya Two could react, Seele's plea for help, the joyful voices of the A-Lynn Sisters, and Xing's very arrogant reply came right at her.
Bronya Two tilted her head in confusion, then it took her a moment to understand what had happened before she arrived.
Beside her, two little idiots were munching on macarons that required an hour-long queue to buy, their cheeks puffed out like squirrels.
Bronya Two was quite pleased and patted their little heads.
After all, in the Cocolia Orphanage she knew, only she and Seele were chosen to come to this world. Both Xing and the A-Lynn Sisters stayed in their original world and served Freya, who ruled that parallel world.
Although Freya returned to her original world, the 'organization' she left behind in the parallel world needed some people in reality to manage it. The A-Lynn Sisters, who came from the Cocolia Orphanage, were chosen to manage it.
"It has no horns."
"Big Sister Bronya so strange, she always has to make a comment."
"We are Valkyrie, we cannot grow horns and tails."
The two little fools were once tested and found to be suitable candidates for the Fusion Warrior experiment, but because the Alliance did not have the complete technology, the two little fools could only become Valkyrie first. The Alliance's original Fusion Warrior experiment was also put on hold for a period of time due to risks and other issues.
In fact, the two little fools didn't know that their physiques were well-suited to becoming Fusion Warrior.
Touching the familiar little head, Bronya Two was filled with emotion.
To her, everything in this world was too wonderful. Although the Honkai Beast in this world were ridiculously strong, and there were also terrifying enemies like Humanoid Honkai Beast, the Cocolia Orphanage did not fall apart, and many children from the Cocolia Orphanage did not die because of the Great Honkai.
The thought of how, before the Cocolia Orphanage in the parallel world was conquered, Xing had stayed at the orphanage to take care of the surviving children, caused her a pang of heartache.
In the past few days, she has seen many of her brothers and sisters who died because of the X-10 experiment, as well as many of her brothers and sisters who died in the Great Honkai caused by Sirin's resurrection.
Later, Bronya Two would naturally go to another group of her still young brothers and sisters.
She stroked the heads of her two silly children, looked at herself in the parallel world who had fainted from joy, and envied her carefree experience.
474. Even if one greatly admires that person
Thinking of her own painful experiences, Bronya Two envied herself in this world, but also sincerely hoped that she could spend the rest of her life carefree.
Although Bronya in this world was also trained to be an assassin in her childhood, the war between the Schicksal and the Shencheng Medicine led to the World Serpent Organization being labeled as a terrorist organization.
After the Schicksal's victory in the struggle against the World Serpent Organization, the Schicksal, together with various countries, launched a purge of the World Serpent Organization's related forces, resulting in the destruction of many mercenary organizations associated with the World Serpent.
More than 180 children, including Bronya, were rescued and then placed in the expanded Cocolia Orphanage.
The main reason why Bronya in this world admires Freya is because of this.
Bronya Two envied herself in this world for having met such a Saintess (hero) who saved her when she was young.
Because she hadn't experienced much harsh training, Bronya retained a lot of innocence and rich emotions. After joining the Cocolia Orphanage, she quickly integrated into the big family and soon became close friends with Anne, Liliya, and the others.
Of course, this family is very large; Bronya suddenly has more than two hundred brothers and sisters.
Incidentally, they ended up fighting each other.
It's not a big deal for the little girls to argue or fight over the gifts and cookies Freya gave them.
Compared to the emotionally rich Bronya in this world, Bronya Two felt that her life was absolutely terrible.
She originally had rich emotions, but after experiencing the X-10 experiment, her emotional circuits were damaged, and she could no longer feel joy or smile. At the same time, her legs were ruined, and she could only move by relying on an exoskeleton armor.
Most importantly, many of her brothers and sisters died in the X-10 experiment, including Seele, who disappeared due to the accident.
In their quest to find Seele, she and Cocolia tried many methods to no avail. In the end, they placed their hopes on another natural Stigmata holder Raiden Mei.
Cocolia once captured Raiden Mei and implanted the Raiden Mei Conqueror Gem into her body. In order to unleash the power within Raiden Mei, Cocolia orchestrated an artificial Honkai at the Senba Academy in Changkong City, with her in charge of retrieving the awakened Raiden Mei.
At the end of the Changkong City incident, Murata Himeko took away the seriously injured Kiana and Raiden Mei, who had awakened as the Third Herrscher. She then infiltrated the Hyperion battleship and was later discovered by a secretary. She then enrolled in the St. Freya Academy with Kiana and Raiden Mei. She also received orders to stay at the St. Freya Academy to investigate intelligence and keep a close eye on the movements of the Schicksal.
At that time, she was unaware that her adoptive mother Cocolia, had implanted a biochip in her brain to control her actions.
In the subsequent Moonlight Throne incident and the Fourth Honkai Eruption, she was controlled multiple times. In the end, she could only choose to burn the biochip in her brain to get rid of Cocolia's control, but she also fell into a long coma as a result.
Although he eventually recovered with Fu Hua's help, he later found his answers in the three worlds that Welt Yang set up in the Corridor of Cognition, decided to face Cocolia, and also found Seele, who had disappeared from the quantum level.
In terms of the ending, it can be considered a happy ending. Her adoptive mother admits her mistakes and chooses to accept and face her crimes, and she is reunited with her friends from the Cocolia Orphanage.
However, the departed brothers and sisters could not be brought back. Those who died in the Great Honkai caused by Sirin's resurrection would never see their smiles again.
"Hmm..."
At this moment, seeing that her counterpart in this world had finally woken up, Bronya Two couldn't help but poke her little forehead.
"Even if you admire that lady very much, you don't need to get this excited just from hearing news about her."
Bronya Two put herself in Bronya's shoes and thought about it for a moment, then realized that she probably wouldn't be that embarrassed.
"Ugh."
Seemingly recalling her disheveled appearance just now, Bronya couldn't think of a rebuttal for the time being.
She had very complicated feelings about her parallel self, since it was a parallel version of herself. So after they met, they naturally exchanged their experiences, which led to an awkward situation for both of them.
In the parallel universe, Bronya Two and Cocolia's relationship is not good, especially after Seele disappeared due to an experimental accident. A rift existed between her and Cocolia. Later, Cocolia manipulated her, which led to Wendy's death, creating an irreparable rift between Cocolia.
Bronya in this world didn't have such an experience. Cocolia was coerced and lured by Freya, Cocolia willingly bowed down to Freya's radiance and benevolence. Later, when the Schicksal and various countries were purging the forces related to the World Serpent Organization, Cocolia discovered the child of her former superior among the children Freya had entrusted to the orphanage, and couldn't help but pour more affection into her.
If we're talking about envy, then they both envy each other.
To Bronya Two, who possesses the title of "Ural Silver Wolf" assassin, is awe-inspiring and powerful. She is also the successor recognized by Welt Yang Two from a parallel world and is the third Herrscher of Reason, while she is just an ordinary Type-B Valkyrie with slightly better grades. Naturally, she greatly envies Bronya Two.
The two have a very good relationship; someone who didn't know them might think they were close sisters.
Bronya touched her forehead where she had been poked, then sat up, not understanding why she was lying on the floor of the camp.
They saw her faint while standing, and Seele and Xing hurriedly helped her to the ground to lie down, afraid that something might have happened to her.
"Sister Bronya..."
Although they call their parallel world selves "older sister," this feeling is quite novel for both of them.
"Who was I just now?"
"I heard from Seele that you seemed to get a little too excited because that person chose your Silver Wolf Squad."
"Ugh."
Upon hearing Bronya Two's explanation, Bronya's blank mind finally pieced together the cause and effect, and her fair and tender face immediately turned red, making her so cute that one couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Seele patted her chest in relief, finding Bronya to be the same cute, easily embarrassed young lady as always. Amy, on the other hand, turned her head away with a touch of arrogance, showing no trace of the near-tears she had just endured.
Bronya Two gave Xing a meaningful look.
In this world, Xing not only has smooth, shoulder-length short hair, but also wears the adorable Silver Wolf Squad's exclusive uniform. When she's being arrogant, she's not annoying at all, but rather incredibly cute.
After comparing, Bronya Two envies herself in this world even more.
It's not that there's anything wrong with Apricot in her own world, but that Apricot is indeed not very cute.
"Because I haven't seen Freya for three months, and Freya has been busy ever since she came back."
Some people in Cocolia Orphanage know Freya's real name, but they only use it in private. Of course, the two little fools use the title "Saintess Sister" mainly because they can't distinguish between the names Kiana and Freya.
Upon hearing Bronya's words, Seele, Ann, and the two little idiots all nodded subconsciously.
They were classmates with Aurora, so they were naturally more familiar with Aurora than others. Therefore, Aurora's impersonation of Freya could not fool them at all.
Furthermore, Aurora was unaware that Freya would visit them every month. The fact that Freya never visited them during the three months Freya impersonated Freya essentially exposed the fact that the Freya who appeared in public during those three months was actually Aurora in disguise.
None of the children from the Bronya Cocolia Orphanage disliked Freya.
Bronya Two could not possibly understand her feelings at this moment. Although she could meet Freya once a month before, she only met Freya as a member of the orphanage. This time was different; this time they were chosen as the Valkyrie squad.
For Bronya and the others, it felt as if their efforts had been recognized, and their feelings were naturally different from those during their monthly meetings.
Bronya Two tilted her head in thought, clearly unable to resonate with them.
After all, the twos in the parallel world don't have a good impression of Freya.
However, even if they had grievances against Freya, they lacked the power to resist Freya. The reason they gave up resisting was simply because they couldn't defeat Freya.
If they could defeat Freya, how could the parallel world's twos possibly willingly accept their world being forcibly utopianized and becoming Freya's testing ground?
Although Freya explained that she came from a parallel world, not many people, including Otto, believed her, and their cooperation with Freya was only out of necessity.
After Freya proved that she came from a parallel world and had the ability to take them there, Otto and the others began to seek cooperation or to honestly cooperate with Freya in building the ark to travel through the Sea of Quantum.
To the twos in the parallel world, Freya is ultimately an invader. Even though she brought peace to that world and eliminated endless strife, few people can accept such a world.
Of course, there are too many people immersed in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi created by Freya, cough cough, immersed in the beautiful dream she created. Freya has the lifeline of billions of people in her hands and can threaten so-called 'heroes' at will with the lives of billions of people.
If a few 'heroes' truly emerge for freedom and love, Freya wouldn't mind liberating billions of people in the Mind Network.
However, in the end, those 'heroes' will become so-called enemies of humanity, and they will not receive praise and rewards, but betrayal and violence...
Because it was too unsolvable, Welt Two and the others surrendered very obediently.
Otto was only interested in Freya's original world, such as Bronya Two. She was simply chosen, boarded the Ark in a daze, arrived in a parallel world in a daze, and then met her parallel world self in a daze.
Therefore, she couldn't say she had any good feelings towards Freya; her feelings were quite complicated.
475. One shouldn't work too hard; one should know how to enjoy life.
What is a hero to him is an enemy to me. Besides, Freya was not a hero at the time, but just a sophisticated egoist.
Bronya Two was well aware of the benefits of the mind network, and she had no intention of criticizing Freya's previous actions.
Watching herself and her friends chattering away in this world, a faint, almost imperceptible smile slowly appeared on Bronya Two's otherwise expressionless face.
This world is really great.
Bronya Two sighed.
There are two Valkyrie squad that Freya has recruited this time.
One team consists of C-rank Valkyrie Squad with an average age of 12, while the other team consists of C-rank Valkyrie Squad with most members being only 14 years old.
That's right, the other chosen Valkyrie squad was also composed of monster students from the 13th class of St. Freya Academy.
After all, St. Freya St. Freya Academy recruits students every three years. This means that there is a three-year gap between each recruitment period. During these three years, St. Freya Academy selects candidates and conducts rigorous screenings. Finally, from the large number of candidates initially selected, 100 students are chosen for each three-year cohort. These 100 students must be the most outstanding or most promising students during these three years, so such an age difference is not surprising.
Although such a selection method may result in some slip-throughs, St. Freya Academy still has 5 to 10 Special Class spots each year; Laguna, who serves as the vice principal of the St. Freya Academy, is preoccupied with the responsibility of supplying the Alliance with excellent Valkyrie every day.
After assuming the position of Seven Archons, she took charge of the education and training of the entire alliance, and it is said that her alcohol tolerance gradually increased.
Getting back to the main point, the other Valkyrie squad, called the 'Radiance Squad,' is also composed of acquaintances.
After all, they don't possess the rare combat talent of Bianca and Sophia, nor have they chosen their positions long ago like Aurora and Mei. Moreover, the members of the Radiance Squad are not students of the research department, so they cannot be recruited by various research institutes in advance. Without graduating, they naturally cannot join the Apocalypse Knights. Aisha, Huohuo, and the others can only form a Valkyrie squad before graduating, and at the same time accumulate work experience.
It is said that Valkyrie squad with proven track records will receive extra points when applying to join the Apocalypse Knights.
It is said that the Immortal Blade Squad, consisting of only two members, was specially recruited into the Apocalypse Knights ahead of schedule because of their active participation and exceptional combat talent.
Among the students of the 13th class of the St. Freya Academy, who are known as monster students, the two who were assigned to the Knight Squad early on are also quite formidable monsters.
At this moment, in the Radiance Squad's base, Wuse Hui Huo, who was lazily burying his body in a beanbag chair, yawned widely and then sent a message to his comrades.
Delta, sitting obediently to the side, munched on potato chips while Wendy, who was drinking green tea, watched the latest episode of the Far East variety show. Aisha, the captain of the Radiance Squad, was looking at the group with a headache. On the other side, a few people were gossiping about something that seemed to be a hot topic recently. The atmosphere at the entire base was obviously quite out of sorts.
If the Silver Wolf Squad's base was very simple, apart from the various game consoles and lots of snacks in the lounge, it was not much different from a typical combat conference room, with a large screen and various instruments in the center of the more than 200-square-meter hall.
The Radiance Squad's base was like a room full of girlish style. Huohuo felt that the room, which was more than 200 square meters, was a bit small and monotonous, so she volunteered to decorate the base. Then Aisha mistakenly assigned the task of decorating the base to her.
Then, in an instant, their 'Radiance Squad' was plunged into negative assets.
Most newly formed Valkyrie squad lack operating funds, so Freya allows Valkyrie squad to obtain a large sum of money on credit as Valkyrie squad funds.
Freya encourages the Valkyrie to earn the treatment and life they want through their own labor. She does not forbid the Valkyrie from being extravagant, but they must make corresponding sacrifices if they want a luxurious life.
This funding is credits that can only be used within the alliance. Although Freya treats the Valkyrie very well, she doesn't want to turn them into a bunch of pigs. The Valkyrie's strength and perseverance are excellent qualities.
The Radiance Squad had just been established, and before they even had any income, their operating funds were already exhausted.
For Valkyrie squad that enter a period of negative assets, they naturally need to accept missions assigned by the Alliance. If Valkyrie squad relatively abundant event funds will accept missions based on their return rate and cost-effectiveness, then Valkyrie squad that enter a period of negative assets must complete missions that other Valkyrie squad are unwilling to accept.
