Chapter 218: "Herrscher of Truth"

Metamorphosis.

A form of evolution that allows the creature to surpass itself.

Like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.

The larva turns into a mosquito.

The pupa turns into an ant.

Bronya, currently with the mixture of 300,000 consciousnesses that Hare has transformed into the Seed of Idea, is struggling to carry out a perfect metamorphosis.

The end of this metamorphosis is the absorption of all consciousness that has entered the Herrscher core of Reason. Bronya who tries to fuse all consciousness, has a small chance of succeeding.

Even though the 300,000 consciousnesses did not resist when being fuse, and instead helped her. Their memories, along with their residual feelings, still seriously disturbed Bronya's consciousness.

Everyone has their own endurance capacity.

If it continues like this, Bronya that will complete the metamorphosis, may not be Bronya herself anymore.

She will lose her concept of herself.

Except...

There is someone who can help her.

"... Light?"

In the darkness of evolution is full of chaos. A light appeared that dragged Bronya's consciousness somewhere.

Disturbing information stepped aside politely, and let her go, entering a place that had blue skies and wide grasslands.

Bronya realized that she had entered the deepest part of the Herrscher of Reason's core.

And standing in front of her at this moment, was the owner of the original Herrscher of Reason, the beginning of all inheritance, his hero Joachim, and also the senior she had never met...

Welt Joyce.

"Bronya understand... Thank you for helping Bronya. Bronya feels happy to be acknowledged by you."

As the heir to the Herrscher of Reason, even though Bronya had never seen Welt Joyce, Bronya had heard the story from Mr. Yang's mouth.

The story he told was so amazing, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Bronya could see a very bright light of hope hidden in Mr. Yang was at that time. That's why, even though she didn't know Welt Joyce very well, she had the same admiration for him.

"Bronya must apologize. To overcome the stigma project, to save everyone, Bronya must fuse the 300,000 thousand consciousnesses that exist into metamorphosis."

"To reach the future, Bronya must destroy the past you have left behind."

"Goodbye, Welt Joyce. Bronya is truly grateful, for the future you have given us all."

The person he was talking to never spoke to her at all from the start. But the satisfied smile on his face answered all the questions.

Inheritance is something that must disappear to prove its existence.

Now, that legacy journey will end here.

Leaving the past behind, and heading towards the future created by everyone.

In the end, with the blessing of 300,000 consciousnesses that merged into one into her. The legendary figure of Welt Joyce, disappeared along with echoes from the past.

The last chain that bound the Herrscher of Reason, is now loose.

Seeing her senior leave, Bronya heaved a sigh of relief, and she turned around, to look behind her.

"Bronya seems to have to thank you too. Without your guidance, maybe Bronya would have been swallowed by their consciousness without any remains, from the beginning of the absorption."

"Saintess Thea... you are not as bad as Bronya imagined. Bronya has forgiven you."

Bronya's figure also slowly began to disappear from there. Leaving behind the remains of that stigmata consciousness, destroyed along with this old world.

Metamorphosis, it's complete.

"BANG!!!"

When the cocoon breaks, and reveals the new Herrscher. Herrscher, who was born from human reason and the stigma project, immediately created particle cannons in both hands.

"Have you ever seen a star explode?"

"Oi! Oi! Oi! Wait a minute, please don't destroy The Deep!"

"Bronya hold your ammo!"

"Bronya please calm down!"

....

Appeared beside Bronya quickly, like teleporting. Bronya looked at Welt Yang, Tesla, and Einstein who were holding her body at this time, with a confused look.

Hare walked slowly towards Bronya, and she clapped her hands, congratulating her.

"Congratulations Bronya~ you are now the new Herrscher. Can I give you a name? How about being called the Herrscher of Truth?"

Bronya snorted coldly: "Hm, do you think this is the time to have a casual talk? The business between the two of us is still unfinished."

"That's enough Bronya, she's not your enemy." Welt Yang scratched his cheek helplessly.

"What do you mean?"

Had a big question mark above her head, but suddenly saw Kiana who had fainted, standing up lightly while shaking off the dust that was stuck to her body. Their eyes met for a moment, and Kiana immediately turned her face to the side.

For a few seconds, Bronya it seemed like had begun to understand what was really happening here.

"...."

Damn, she felt cheated!

Hearing Einstein's explanation, and knowing that all this was just a drama to increase her success in metamorphosing into a new Herrscher. Bronya, who had her arms crossed, puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"So everything was just an act? You all knew that, but Bronya didn't?"

"Yes..."

"You didn't lose against Hare?"

"Ah? How could Schicksal's strongest valkyrie like me possibly lose to her? The only ones who can defeat me are my sisters!"

"Then please return all Bronya's feelings that were wasted for nothing!"

....

Seeing Kiana and Bronya start fighting again. Hare laughed, and this immediately caught Bronya's attention.

As the antagonist in this act, Bronya had several questions for her.

Even though everyone here says that this is all just an act. But for Hare herself, is this all really just an act?

"I know what you want to say. I will answer honestly. For myself, there are only a few acting elements in this drama."

That means, from the moment they met, Hare never held back her hand in the slightest.

She really wanted to snatch the power of the Herrscher of Reason from Bronya's hands.

"Then what if Bronya doesn't succeed in metamorphosis?"

"Then you are indeed unfit to fly. If that's the case, I will really pluck your wings here." Hare said very sincerely.

"However, none of that happened, right? You have succeeded in becoming a Herrscher who truly belongs to humanity. I'm really proud of you Bronya~"

Seeing Herrscher Bronya's completely new form. Joy filled Hare's heart at this moment.

She had found the answer she had always been looking for.

"[I will preserve their past, even if it will cost them their future]" --- this was her former self's answer.

"[I want to give them a future, even though they don't have a past to remember]" --- this was Alexandera's answer, a truly extraordinary mother.

"[I want to create a future for them, even if it means sacrificing the present]" --- this was the answer Welt Joyce gave to everyone.

This moment, standing before her at this moment, was the crystallization of the answer to all of them.

A power that transcends the past, and the present, and becomes the power of the future.

Herrscher of truth.

Herrscher who truly belongs to humanity.

"If you fail, then you will take everything from Bronya. If Bronya succeeds, then you just clap your hands to celebrate. Bronya really doesn't know how to respond to you."

Bronya took several steps back from Hare. Even though she knew that Hare meant well towards her, this strange feeling that entered her heart truly confused her.

In the end, Bronya could only keep her distance from her. Don't want to see her face at all.

Maybe this could be called, sulking.

"So Bronya, can you fix the Stargate now?"

"Yes, Bronya can do it. With Bronya's current strength, Bronya can do it easily."

Didn't have a chance to calm down her emotions, and was immediately pressed by Kiana. Bronya, who knew that time was precious, could only let out a long sigh.

"Stay away, Bronya will fix it."

Gave instructions to all of them, and began using her new Herrscher of Truth powers. The power of the narrative resonates, and they begin to create a new story for the Stargate beneath their feet.

The floors that had been destroyed by the battle immediately became clean and neat as if they had just been polished. The fallen pillars also began to rise and return to their original places in an orderly manner.

The entire Deep began to shake gently.

"....Einstein's space bridge, confirmed."

"Gravity anomaly detected, start connecting material injection."

"The two-way line has been connected, strengthening the channel and maintaining stability."

"Three... Two... One..."

"Star gate core, repaired successfully."

"Stargate, ready to use."
