The people outside the space.
When they saw Bronya in the vision successfully stopping Seele's rebellion, smiles appeared on their faces.
As expected of the trustworthy her, that fearless courage could be felt even by them.
"Bronya, see, Seele never meant to hurt you."
Kiana was speaking when the Frost Emperor, which had been there, was simply and directly killed by Seele.
At this moment, the real Bronya's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, she shook her head: "I never blamed Seele. I know it was my hesitation and cowardice that caused that to happen."
"If I hadn't backed down before, what happened next would probably be the same as what is happening in the vision."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was preparing to welcome Yunduo out.
Regarding Target 2: Killing the Judgement-level Honkai Beast Trallok.
Feeling uneasy and absurd, they subconsciously did not want to recall it.
Such a thing was impossible!
Unless Seele and Bronya teamed up, plus three Herrschers of Reason, maybe they would have a chance.
But in the Sea of Quanta, with only the two of them, what could they do against Trallok?
But suddenly, when they saw Trallok abruptly appear, everyone was caught off guard and astonished.
How could this be?
Why must unexpected things happen every time at such a moment?
That black tide was definitely Kevin's doing, but she only protected Seele.
What about Bronya?
Was she supposed to kill Trallok alone?
Forget killing it, even escaping would be difficult.
Immediately after, they saw Bronya fleeing, utterly exhausted.
Constantly running away.
Finally, under Trallok's relentless pursuit, she escaped into the depths of the Sea of Quanta with all her might.
"Roar!!!"
The previously shocking roar completely vanished the moment Bronya stepped into the Sea of Quanta.
All sound disappeared.
Heartbeat.
Bronya could only hear the sound of her own painful heartbeat.
All sounds turned into nothingness in this deepest abyss.
This was a golden space, like a golden ocean.
This was the Sea of Quanta!
With every step she took, the golden ground she trod upon rippled with golden waves, as if walking on seawater.
Joachim had said the herrscher core of Reason was here.
Within the Sea of Quanta existed countless possibilities.
From the end of the deep sea, Bronya saw parallel versions of herself.
Herself, happily embracing her parents by the fireplace on Christmas.
Herself, playing carefree with Liliya and Rozaliya in the Siberia Orphanage.
There was also her as an ordinary person, holding a Homu doll, displaying a childish innocence.
Then, an older version of her, dancing a graceful dance and diving in the deep sea.
Finally, walking towards someone else with a bouquet, wearing a smile.
But those were parallel worlds, existences within countless planes where Honkai did not exist.
At this moment.
Only the lonely girl walked step by step into the distance.
Her goal was the end of the deep sea.
"Hah, hah—"
Bronya's spirit was collapsing. Blood-red jade beads, having snapped their string, slid down the wounds on her fair shoulder.
The multitude of wounds and the pain of regaining and then losing everything had broken her spirit.
Drip.
Drip.
Blood dripped onto the ground, blooming into vibrant crimson flowers.
As she walked, the blood-red jade beads turned into a stream of blood, flowing down her arm to her palm.
The power supporting her body vanished with every step she took.
Fragments of memories surfaced randomly amidst the chaotic fluctuations.
Cubes without physical rules floated around.
At the end of the void, there was only this golden ocean.
The Sea of Quanta was the entirety of countless parallel universes.
Specks of faint light shimmered in her eyes.
"Seele... I will definitely save you."
Bronya held only this one thought in her heart.
After an unknown amount of time.
Finally, she arrived at the end of the deep sea. The palpitating presence she felt was the herrscher core of Reason.
Bronya mustered her last bit of strength and extended her bleeding fingertip.
Her palm submerged into the golden ocean, pulsating with the light.
The next second.
"Boom!"
The Sea of Quanta shattered!
The space where Bronya's palm rested shattered.
The golden cubes turned into nothingness.
In their place was a gradually darkening space.
In the deepest part of that space, the dazzling deep-blue herrscher core floated in mid-air.
She felt an unreachable force preventing her.
That was the resistance of the herrscher core of Reason.
To seize the power of a god with a broken human body?
This was inherently an incredibly unbelievable feat.
Seeing this, Bronya was not discouraged. She used her bent leg bone as a support point, even as she felt death closing in.
Even death could not stop her!
She was slowly approaching the herrscher core of Reason!
Finally, a flash of golden light.
She grasped the core capable of turning the tide.
However, the unexpected happened.
Simply grasping the core was not enough to obtain its power.
"Bang!!!"
Multicolor darkness erupted from the core, polluting the surrounding Sea of Quanta.
Twisted spatial cubes rapidly emerged from the seabed.
Crimson flashes, like thunder, traversed the ocean and struck the girl's small body.
"Ugh!"
Bronya groaned in pain.
This Sea of Quanta was fighting back!
In the air, the distorted space seemed to form a field of deathly judgment.
The retaliatory space wrapped around the immobilized, imprisoned girl bit by bit.
The Exoskeleton Armor was completely torn apart!
The multicolored blackness infected her body!
Spreading from the palm tightly gripping the herrscher core of Reason.
The corrosion gradually devoured her entire body!
My body... I can't move!
The core... it's about to lose control!
The young girl's final thought was of the person waiting for her.
Even until the very last second, she did not let go of the core.
The crowd outside the space watched this scene with hearts full of anxiety.
They saw many versions of Bronya from parallel worlds.
If the Honkai didn't exist, she would have been a happy child.
Doing the same things as ordinary people, living through life, aging, illness, and death in a mundane daily life.
Instead of traversing the deepest parts of the Sea of Quanta.
Traveling to the very end of the deep sea to find that single ray of light.
Immediately after, a deep blue ocean appeared on the screen.
Bronya slowly sank into it.
Sinking, sinking continuously.
She gradually sank into the deepest depths of the deep sea.
Kiana, having sharp eyes, noticed a deep blue object and couldn't help but mutter:
"Are there butterflies even in the deep sea?"
...No light.
No sound.
No breath.
There was nothing but darkness, a boundless darkness.
The girl fell within the endless darkness.
What happened?
She vaguely remembered that she had lost something.
This caused her a heart-wrenching sorrow.
Her senses had stalled, and the flow of time seemed to no longer exist.
Doubt, confusion, guilt, and self-reproach—only these feelings remained, submerging her like a dark quagmire.
"Bronya..."
Suddenly, a speck of light and a faint sound rippled through the darkness, like a single drop of water falling into an abyss.
In the light, it seemed someone was calling her name.
"Bronya..."
Who is it?
That voice felt unfamiliar, yet carried a sense of familiarity.
Bronya struggled to reach her hand out toward the light.
She saw a figure within the radiance.
The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the world in her eyes.
It was a translucent butterfly with blue wings.
