Chapter 210: "Bronya Is death"

Eye of the Deep...

When Bronya stepped foot back into this place, for some reason she felt a little nostalgic.

She once came to this place to search for Seele who disappeared in the sea of ​​quanta, and now she returned again to repair the stargate ruins.

It had to be said, this place had a fateful connection with her.

"I'm a little curious. Bronya, as the Herrscher of Reason, you have scattered cores and can divide them by 300,000... is that correct?"

"Yes that's correct."

Bronya answered Hare question straightforwardly.

"Mr. Welt said that they were all victims of the honkai in Berlin. The first Herrscher, Welt Joyce, gathered their consciousness into the herrscher core and now they have become the basic foundation of the Herrscher of Reason itself."

Hare smiled: "In other words, the current Herrscher of Reason's power has already been divided into 300,000 parts?"

Bronya was stunned: "When it comes to that... Bronya doesn't quite understand..."

Reached the place where the stargate ruins were located, and observed the quiet surroundings. Hare smiled slightly, and she narrowed her eyes.

"Just forget what I asked earlier, let's get to the main topic."

"As I said, that the power of the Herrscher of Reason and the stigma project are the same?"

Bronya nodded her head.

"Then let me explain."

"As we know, Herrscher of Reason's power is [construction] in other words creating the creation of civilization out of thin air, a quite complicated process."

"But because of that, the power of the Herrscher of Reason is limited to what civilization considers [impossible], or it could be said to be the limit of a [story]."

Hare pressed the words [story] firmly.

"The [story] itself cannot be just a story. Of course there must be real evidence that can make other people believe the story."

"Ethics, money, language, tradition, aesthetics, all of these are concepts created by humans. A [story] that has been applied since the beginning of time as humans used their minds, and continues to be used according to the agreed [story]."

"And the result of all that is--- civilization."

"Both the Herrscher of Reason and the stigma project, the essence of them is all the same, namely [story]."

"When a story is influential enough, it will reshape the world. But if you deconstruct the stories, they are actually nothing more than the contents of a blank sheet of paper, and the power of the Herrscher of Reason itself, is to write the story on top of it."

"From the existence of mythical heroes, mathematical formulas, and the alphabet on black boards, to encrypted servers... They are all stories."

"So you could say that humans are creatures with the ability to tell stories, and as the Herrscher of Reason, you have the pen to write the stories yourself."

Bronya understood: "In other words the stigma project represents civilization, and the Herrscher of Reason's power represents the story, is Bronya right?"

Hare was surprised: "So amazing~ I didn't expect that Bronya would be so perceptive! Then let's move on to the next stage~"

Bronya nodded her head once again.

Seeing Hare holding a flag banner with the Schariac family crest. Bronya saw the tip of the spear heading straight for her.

Under Bronya's questioning gaze, Hare, who still wore her usual smiling expression, suddenly waved the banner in her hand.

"For further explanation, Bronya Zaychik, please die."

"Eh?"

Unprepared for the sudden change of topic, and suddenly felt an excruciating pain in her chest. Bronya fell to her knees, and she groaned in pain.

"Ugh!!!"

It felt like a piece of flesh on her chest was being torn off fiercely. Bronya bit her lower lip to endure the pain, and she stared at Hare with both confusion and hatred.

"My... Herrscher core?"

Looking at the Herrscher of Reason core that was in Hare's hand, and suddenly understood where all this pain came from. Bronya was panting, her vision became increasingly blurry, and she immediately fainted.

Bronya, dead.

....

Heard a noise like a broken radio wave, and could feel her body being pulled in two directions like a child's toy being fought over. Bronya felt her body fall to the ground, and she immediately coughed violently.

She took a deep breath, like a drowning person who had just reached the surface.

"Congratulations, the operation was successful. Now you are a man. Please type one to panic, and type second to factory reset."

Hearing the voice of a strange girl next to her. Bronya, who had tense nerves, immediately stood up, and she took out the military dagger she had stuck in her thigh.

Project Bunny also immediately appeared, and she aimed at a girl who had the exact same face as Bronya with her hand cannon.

Project bunny: "....?"

Why are there two masters here?

"Calm down, it was just a joke. Was my joke so bad that you cringed? I felt sad."

Saying those words with a flat, emotionless face. The girl who looked like Bronya pushed away the project bunny cannon with her index finger, and she release herself from Bronya casually.

"Who are you...?"

Seeing a girl who had the same face as her, blackish gray hair, and red eyes. Bronya, who saw the other side wearing cool sunglasses, somehow felt a little strange.

"You must have a lot of questions. I will explain them one by one peacefully."

"First, I am not your enemy."

Very familiar words.

"Secondly, you are not currently inside The Deep anymore. This is a bubble world attached to the reality near The Deep, the moon base---New Atlas."

"And thirdly, regarding who I am, I am terminal Aide 0017 which was created in the previous era of civilization."

"That's right, my creator used to call me by name--Prometheus."

"That is my name."

Prometheus introduced herself smoothly.

Bronya frowned: "Prometheus, the divine fire thief?"

Felt like she had read this name in one of the secret Schicksal documents she had read. Bronya thought for a moment, before her pupils shrank.

"Will of Honkai!"

"Yep, anticipated reaction."

Prometheus kept her cool sunglasses in her shirt pocket helplessly.

Seeing Bronya keep her distance from her with full level of vigilance. Prometheus also looked at Bronya with an indifferent look.

"Bronya Zaychik, as I said from the start, I am not your enemy. Besides, the Will of Honkai you are referring to is not me. I declare myself as a free individual."

"You may still be confused about what happened here. But now we don't have much time to talk nonsense."

"Whether you are willing to believe me or not is not the problem. You will still choose the same choice."

"Follow me."

"I will make you a Herrscher of True, a perfect metamorphosis."
