Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.
Even knowing that Bronya possessed the power of the Herrscher of Reason, they still felt a sense of trepidation when the two faced each other.
An ordinary Honkai Beast, thirty or forty meters tall, is already the height of a building in human civilization.
Even taller ones, such as the high-ranking Honkai Beast Parvati, named after the Snow Goddess, have bodies that blot out the sun and fill the sky with cold light.
Unless there is a massive blizzard to hide its tracks, its faint dark shadow can be spotted within the storm even from several kilometers away.
And Trallok, as a Judgement-level Honkai Beast...
Compared to Parvati, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
Several Parvatis merged together would probably only be the size of its claw.
It was so massive it was almost like a cloud-covered mountain where a god might dwell.
If placed on flat ground, it could likely reach the clouds in the sky and stir up a sea of mist.
Standing before it now, the small Bronya wasn't even as large as its fingernail.
Like a tiny ant in front of a human, no matter how it tried to run, it could not escape the palm of its hand.
Kiana said worriedly, "There's too little time left for her. According to what Tesla just said, although Bronya inherited the power of so many people, she only just obtained the core. Doesn't she need to digest all that knowledge?"
"There's no other way; we can only watch her performance. None of us can help," Fu Hua sighed.
Theresa's eyes flickered. "Fighting for humanity with the body of a Herrscher..."
Her students had not disappointed her!
After obtaining the Herrscher of Reason core, Bronya was still the same Bronya.
"Do you see? Who says a Herrscher must be an envoy of the Honkai, a messenger of a god?"
"Declaring war on the Honkai with the body of a Herrscher, the succession of three generations of the Herrscher of Reason has kept the spark of hope alive for humanity: Welt Joyce, Welt Yang, and Bronya Zaychik." Tesla couldn't help but look at Rita beside her.
This was the philosophy of Anti-Entropy.
Who said a Herrscher had to be an apostle of the Honkai?
Three generations of the Herrscher of Reason, and they were all fighting for humanity!
They were different from other Herrschers.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this "Reason"...
...that they chose to walk this path.
As they spoke, the scene on the screen continued.
Bronya maneuvered through the air, with Project Bunny covering her, dodging Trallok's attacks one after another.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Her small body tore through space, like a butterfly fluttering over flowers, making a light sound.
Her speed was incredibly fast!
It had practically surpassed the speed visible to the naked eye!
"Roar!!!"
Finding that the ant-like, annoying human was dodging its attacks, Trallok roared in anger.
It used its giant hand, descending like the heavens, intending to crush her into a pulp.
In the next second, sensing its intention, Bronya gave a soft cry, and the Herrscher of Reason core on her chest emitted a faint blue light.
At her current speed, it would be difficult to dodge.
How could she be faster?
Abandon human feet and switch to an unconventional existence.
"Core: Manifest Analysis!"
Honkai Energy gathered at her calves, covered in clean white silk stockings, as a golden glow converged there.
As the golden light dissipated, smooth rollers were constructed on Bronya's feet.
The rollers slid across the spatial barriers of the Sea of Quanta, greatly reducing the resistance caused by friction.
Now, her speed had risen to another level.
If humans could still observe her movements before...
...now, the people outside the space could only see a streak of white light weaving through Trallok's attacks.
That speed was something they couldn't see clearly at all!
To dodge the attacks of a Judgement-level Honkai Beast, it was impossible without speed nearly equal to light.
Often, the giant beast's attack would arrive first, shattering space and sending dust flying.
Only then could they see a trail of light flashing through the space!
"Boom!"
The nearby space turned into a blur, and in the faint smoke, one person could be seen moving with the momentum of ten thousand stampeding horses.
It was hard for the naked eye to capture, only able to perceive a shadow of light.
Flashing across the ground, her eyes were calm yet filled with killing intent, staring at the giant beast's attacks, waiting for the right moment to strike back.
In that vast white expanse, a silhouette could be vaguely seen passing by.
Suddenly!
The giant beast swung its massive claw, but unexpectedly, Bronya found an opportunity.
Along Trallok's massive arm, she went with the flow and climbed onto the giant beast's body.
Standing on its arm, her eyes were cold and focused.
The giant beast's skeleton was far sturdier than the space of the Sea of Quanta.
Bronya's rollers moved across Trallok's arm with lightning speed, stirring up a cutting laser-like effect.
"Roar!!!"
Of course, this bit of damage was not enough to be fatal; it couldn't even break the sturdy skeleton.
But in Trallok's eyes, this hateful ant had climbed onto its arm and seemed to be rolling toward its head.
This only made it more furious, and its roaring voice shook the space, creating cracks.
The world turned upside down as the nimble Little Rabbit moved quickly across Trallok's torso.
The originally massive body had now become Little Rabbit's playground.
Whether it was sudden stops, reversing, or even hanging completely upside down under Trallok's arm with acceleration, Little Rabbit did not stop.
On the contrary, her speed was getting faster and faster!
But when her speed reached its limit, she seemed to suddenly lose control!
Bronya leaped lightly and floated in the air!
Now, Trallok had caught her off guard.
As long as she wasn't on its body, it could exert its proper strength!
"—Roar!!!"
Trallok quickly gathered energy in its giant maw, the Honkai Energy staining its mouth a deep purple.
A second later, the purple glow containing destructive energy erupted all at once!
Furious Breath!!!
A beam of light soared into the sky, blasting toward the tiny figure in mid-air!
No one expected Trallok to be so decisive with this attack!
Even as the destructive light poured down, that small figure was unable to dodge.
Seeing this scene, Kiana couldn't help but clench her fingers.
Everyone's nerves were highly strung.
If she didn't dodge it, she surely wouldn't survive, right?
Even for a Herrscher, taking a full-power strike from a furious Judgement-level Honkai Beast wouldn't result in just a light injury.
They saw the purple attack cause the space around the screen to ripple in waves.
Like the wrath of a god, like a thunderbolt, the fury bloomed in the blast!
In the next second, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and Bronya's body disappeared.
Kiana grew anxious: "Why is she gone? She can't be dead, can she?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Although she might be injured, I believe in her—she can definitely block this strike!" Theresa said anxiously.
The real Bronya, at this moment, hugged Project Bunny tightly, inadvertently glancing at the empty seat beside her.
How she wished the person in that space was herself right now.
Being hit by that kind of Honkai Energy must be very painful, right?
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
At this time, Fu Hua, as the class monitor, stepped in to manage the situation: "Everyone, calm down first. Even if it's like this, it's just a mission. Even if it fails—"
Before she could finish, a crystal-blue glow representing hope suddenly flashed on the screen!
A blue light shield full of technological feel firmly blocked the path of that butterfly-like figure!
The absolute defense constructed by a hexagonal matrix was like a natural moat, blocking all the Honkai!
Without even a single vibration, the crystal-blue energy belonging to the Herrscher of Reason floated slowly! "Rapid Braking: Emergency Shock Absorption!"
This was her defense!
This unexpected turn of events left everyone dumbfounded.
They looked at each other, seemingly not yet understanding what was happening.
Such strong defensive power?
It could even completely block a full-power strike from a Judgement-level Honkai Beast?
Kiana took a sharp breath, making a hissing sound, utterly shocked.
But they didn't see the light of logic flashing in Little Rabbit's deep blue pupils on the screen.
"ALL SYSTEMS LOADED!"
A mechanical, metallic prompt came from Project Bunny.
It signaled to Little Rabbit that the energy was full and it was ready to attack at any time.
Without hesitation, Bronya shouted in her cold, child-like voice:
"Ride on!"
"Switch engine drive."
In an instant, countless crystal-blue phantom butterflies fluttered together, seemingly forming a sea of butterflies.
She closed her eyes, and the Herrscher of Reason core in her chest activated with full force!
Golden light enveloped the already imposing Project Bunny, and mechanical gilded light flashed across her vision.
Then came an exaggerated yet entirely realistic combined transformation!
It was as if an angel that had shed its wings was being reborn once more!
"Angel Reconstruction!"
Following Bronya's soft shout,
her Project Bunny transformed into an extremely cyberpunk motorcycle, descending from the sky like a blue meteor!
Riding mode initiated!
Speed up decoding!
Frequency down!
An icy breath pierced through the motorcycle's thunderous acceleration.
The sudden chill froze the surrounding space, as if even time itself had come to a complete standstill!
Bronya rode atop it, her body and the motorcycle merging flawlessly into one.
Discovering its claws were frozen by the bone-chilling cold, Trallok roared with effort and broke free.
The claws turned into a blur of light and shadow, striking at the motorcycle weaving through the air!
"Bang!"
The claws tore through the ground, sending massive stone shards flying.
Once again, the crowd could not clearly see the scene in the image.
However, from that heavily damaged ground,
an ice-blue motorcycle, burning like ghost fire, sped toward Trallok!
With speed exceeding light, the Honkai Energy turned into a field of azure blue.
On a fictional azure path, the motorcycle sped through the air, its movement not bound by the laws of physics.
Hovering in mid-air, even where there was no road, she used the core to construct a brand-new path.
One continuous motorcycle lane after another was constructed by the core!
The extending roads constantly converged toward the distance,
until they formed an all-encompassing motorcycle racetrack!
"Roar!!!"
Trallok sensed the danger and swung with its full strength, Honkai Energy surging forth like a tide.
It twisted its massive body, and purple lasers blasted out from unexpected places!
Its arms were as swift as ribbons, attempting to violently pull the riding Bronya down.
However, Little Rabbit, already prepared to end all of this, did not care about Trallok's thoughts.
She had already constructed an automated highway in the sky!
All of it was an azure path built by the Herrscher of Reason core.
As the chase continued, this path grew wider and wider!
It bound Trallok's entire body like a rope!
The brilliant colors kept extending, dressing the entirely purple Trallok in elegant blue clothes.
Finally, the last moment arrived!
—Ha!"
Bronya hovered in mid-air, gathering all her energy!
Countless phantom-like heavy cannon Key of Truth manifested in the sky!
Uncountable!
All exactly the same!
The most dangerous and powerful existence Bronya could comprehend!
The deep-sea-like brilliant blue formed a vast ocean of truth!
"Shoot up!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three..."
Project Bunny's cold mechanical voice rang in her ear.
"Boost 999!!!!!"
The engine's energy accumulation was about to exceed its limits!
The beeping warning sounds of danger came with it.
However, she ignored them; with a burst of tire friction, she reached the end of the motorcycle track.
Within range!
Wherever Truth reaches!
Trallok!
Bronya grit her teeth, throwing herself forward with determined eyes.
Trallok also knew her attack was imminent and that it was certainly related to these blue things.
Thus, it swung its arms, preparing to deliver a palm strike to Bronya as she arrived!
Facing such peril!
Little Rabbit did not retreat!
Accelerate!
Accelerate!
Accelerate more!!!
—Ahhh!!!!"
Bronya launched her final attack recklessly.
The color of light shone in her grey eyes!
"HONKAI CRITICAL!"
"Top Gear!"
Project Bunny's red light flashed, warning of overspeeding.
Countless beams of blue radiance sprayed from the motorcycle's tail fins!
The crystal-blue light made everything else lose its color.
Bronya's eyes were tightly shut as images flashed through her mind.
Unlike those parallel worlds, these were the paths she desired most.
Growing up in her parents' embrace, spending one happy holiday after another.
Going to school accompanied by dolls, showing her graceful posture in dance class.
Growing up to be elegant and beautiful, holding a bouquet of happiness in a pure white hall.
However, those were all distant phantoms.
Because of that disaster,
she lost all those possibilities.
Lost her parents.
Lost the right to walk and smile.
She even once lost her most cherished soul, her only solace.
She had finally gained a stable life, only to be swept into an even larger vortex.
She finally found that azure butterfly, only for them to be separated in an instant.
These things...
Even without them,
she had long since become accustomed to loneliness.
She hated winter, and she hated all those nights of parting.
She didn't want to lose anything anymore.
Was the one obstructing her a so-called god?
Trallok, the Rain God of Aztec mythology?
So what if it's a god?
Even if a god blocks her path, she will end it with her own hands!
She... is no longer... willing to lose anything else!!!
Bronya opened her eyes, her gaze like fire.
Her eyes held the deepest light!
She sped toward Trallok's head.
At this moment, the reconstructed angel handed down the final judgment!
"Boom!!!!!"
A massive explosion resounded through the sky!
A pillar of blue light passed through Trallok's exploding head!
In her eyes, the blue light of a hexagram flashed.
Angel Reconstruction!
Thousands of Key of Truth fired simultaneously!
The light of the end illuminated the edge of the deep sea!
In the air, she murmured:
"Seele, Bronya is coming to find you!"
