Chapter 163: "Poor Veliona"
"This world, it's starting to feel strange."
Seeing the sky starting to be covered with red clouds, and could feel the atmosphere gripping everywhere. Bronya became very worried.
After being taken away by Kiana out of the tower of Babylon, and sent to a faraway place using the power of her stigmata. Even though Bronya was curious about why Kiana could have the power to teleport someone, she now had to find another way out as quickly as possible.
She still hasn't forgotten that currently Kiana may still be fighting Welt Yang.
They had all seen the Herrscher of Reason's dominating power.
Kiana probably wouldn't be able to last long against him.
"Joachim, can you hear Bronya?"
"[Yes, Bronya, I'm here.]"
"Can you explain to us what exactly is going on here? Bronya is sure that this is out of line on the test."
Waited for a while in silence, and could hear the sound of a long sigh. Bronya could hear Joachim's frustrated voice.
"[How should I say it... To be honest, I don't really know what the problem is here.]"
"[When Welt Yang in this world created the particle cannon and fired it, it should have consumed all the existing resources in this bubble universe.]"
"You mean..."
"[Yes, this bubble universe should have collapsed.]"
Joachim's tone became confused.
"[But the problem is, that situation never happened, and this bubble universe is still safe.]"
"[I don't know when this strangeness started. It's just that when I realize, I found that this bubble universe was no longer under my control.]"
"[I discovered that two extraordinary forces intervened in this world. They changed the rules, and made it impossible for everyone to enter or leave freely.]"
Bronya frowned.
"In other words, the three of us are trapped in this place?"
Joachim's voice became low.
"[Sorry, Bronya...]"
"It doesn't matter."
Sighed, just like Joachim, and could feel that the situation here was getting more and more complicated. Bronya scratched her cheek in confusion, and she suddenly saw Seele wake up from her deep sleep.
Seele who woke up, opened her eyes innocently, and after that, her gaze turned sharp.
"Shhh... I only slept for a while, and the end of the world was being discussed when I woke up. Hey, tell me, how incompetent are you all?"
"You are..."
"WHAT?!"
"N-No, nothing..."
Seeing that it wasn't the Seele she knew, but a other 'Seele'. Bronya hurriedly stopped talking, and she looked sideways to avoid her gaze.
"Gosh... You all are really useless..."
Veliona gritted her teeth in annoyance, and she, who had just woken up, finally joined the group to sacrifice her brain.
"If I'm not mistaken, the essence of this world is still you, right?"
"[Ah? What do you mean?]"
"Tch, can't you think about it. To pass your test we all have to solve your personal problems. Then, if we kill Joachim in this world, will the problem be solved?"
Joachim: "[Oh...]"
Bronya: "Wow...."
They both suddenly fell silent.
Indeed, all the problems a person has in this world will usually be resolved after that person dies. They cannot feel sadness, despair, or even happiness after they die.
Killing Joachim to get out of this world... Somehow it sounds quite reasonable...
....No, if you think about it carefully, this plan isn't bad either.
Bronya thought very seriously.
"But the point is we have to kill Mr. Welt who already has two herrscher cores at this time."
"Kiana might be able to hold it off for a while. But if we join in, then we will just be an additional burden."
Veliona clicked her tongue: "Then, what should we do? Stand here and pray to Kiana that she can kill the four glasses by accident?"
"For that..."
Bronya also having trouble.
"[Then what if there are other variables?]"
Bronya frowned: "...You are?"
"[It's me, Thea.]"
Suddenly found that there was someone else who could speak in their minds besides Joachim. Both Bronya and Veliona frowned at the same time.
Veliona smiled disdainfully: "You've finally come out. If I'm not mistaken, your little sister is currently still fighting with the four glasses. Did you come here to ask us to take her body back?"
"[I can help you girls get out of this situation. Bronya, can you help me?]"
"Hey, don't ignore me!"
"[Bronya, I beg you]."
"Are you deaf hah!?!"
Bronya: "....."
Feeling sorry for Veliona who tried to insult her, but was just ignored like she never existed. Bronya coughed awkwardly, and she asked.
"Bronya can help you, but why? You could have come here and all this problem would have been solved."
As an S-rank Valkyrie, and also the most famous valkyrie. Thea's own strength in Schicksal has now reached a peak limit that no one can reach.
She is Saintess Thea, the most powerful Valkyrie in existence just like her big sister, Durandal.
If she came here, and killed Welt Yang in one punch, wouldn't all these problems be resolved quickly?
"[My problem here is quite complicated. I can't leave because I'm currently being stared at by that existence. You could say that I'm preventing it from making this bubble world even more complicated.]"
Joachim asked: "[So, one of the forces that intervened in this world, and changed the rules was you, right?]"
"[Yes, that's me.]"
Joachim was even more confused: "[But why? Why do something like this? Is there a purpose?]"
Thea took a deep breath.
"[It's targeting my little sister.]"
This time, both Joachim, Bronya, and Veliona, could hear Thea's very gloomy voice.
Her tone was filled with pent-up anger. It was as if the person she was referring to was currently sitting in front of her.
"[I can't tell you too many things, after all this is for your own safety.]"
"[What you need to know right now is that I can help you all get out of this place safely.]"
"[I'll show you the way.]"
After Thea finished speaking. A beam of light descended from the sky, and it immediately fell onto the desert terrain not far from them.
Using the power of the project bunny telescope. Bronya could see that the object that fell from the sky was the Flower Abyss, the sixth divine key weapon.
"[I beg you, Bronya, Seele, please save my sister.]"
"[As her big sister, I beg you.]"
"[Please save Kiana.]"
