Bab 128: Chapter 128: Farewell to Kiana
Sometimes Bronie felt like Siegfried was similar to a child who resorts in primitive means to get attention.
Although primitive, it was indeed effective.
After bidding farewell to Siegfried, Bronie returned to her office feeling grumpy while slowly repairing the broken window with her abilities.
Shortly after, Bronie heard another sound of shattered glass!
"Sis Bronie, Bronya thought Sis Bronie had already caught that guy!"
Bronya was in Bronie's room because she heard that Bronie's office window had been smashed, so she came to see if Sis Bronie was too angry.
It's quite strange for Bronya, she had accompanied Sister Bronie for a long time yet she never see her truly angry.
Is it because Bronie has a very good temper, or is it because of Bronie's usual character?
Like the Joyous Aeon of Elation, who could laugh even in the face of the most awkward situations. But this time, Bronya felt like there's a chance of it happening.
"That's Kiana's dad..."
"Sis Bronie! I saw that old man! I'm going after him!!"
The speech immediately followed by third sound of glass breaking just like Bronie's previous departure.
Bronie suddenly felt her blood pressure rise.
Kiana's actions were quite decisive.
After breaking the window, she immediately started shooting wildly with the dual pistols her dad gave her, causing Siegfried to immediately retreat into the forest.
Kiana felt like she couldn't catch up for a moment.
"So, Kiana's father, after abandoning Kiana, is now coming to smash Kiana's window?"
Bronya was a bit puzzled by that man's thought process. Could it be that parents are all like this?
"Sirin used to have a tendency to destroy humanity, and didn't I tell you? The culprit behind the Second Eruption which resulted in the death of your parents was actually Sirin."
"Bronya understands."
Bronya's face also showed a conflicted expression.
At first, everyone was still wary of Sirin.
Although that guy claimed to be Sirin, the real Sirin already died in the previous Eruption.
The Sirin in front of them was just a second personality born under the negative influence of Sirin.
In everyone's eyes, she was just a pitiful person.
But does Siegfried believe that she's Sirin?
Hearing this, Bronya couldn't help but sigh.
"So, is everything clear now?"
"People always believe in what they believe in. For the Kaslana family, explaining these things is a bit difficult for him. I'm afraid Siegfried will only understand this after a long time with Sirin, but the key is Siegfried doesn't want to contact Sirin, and Sirin is explosive at any moment."
So Bronie's judgment was to simply let the misunderstanding continue.
When Siegfried discovered that Sirin was playing with someone else, let down her guard, and then talk to Siegfried about this matter.
Of course, Bronie also mentioned the matter of Sirin not really being Sirin, but was only stared back by Siegfried's 'wise' eyes, making Bronie feel quite tired.
"Why choose to appear now?"
Bronya still didn't quite understand.
"Well, it's probably because people from Schicksal Headquarters are coming, and Siegfried is afraid that Kiana will be taken to Schicksal Headquarters as an experimental subject. After all, Schicksal Headquarters is a huge floating island over the Mediterranean, and Siegfried alone can't break into Schicksal Headquarters."
"Will Valkyries take her for human experiments?"
"In fact, in order to study the Honkai, whether it's Entropy, Schicksal, or World Serpent, they will choose to do human experiments. Valkyries like that are rare materials, how can they be let go? You know, you can never rely on strangers, nor can you expect strangers to have the same conscience as you."
When Bronya realized the general situation of the matter, she judged that Kiana would most likely leave the orphanage soon.
Today, Bronie who rarely made games, found a button under the desk instead, and then pressed it. Entering the password, a bottle of wine appeared in Bronie's hand.
This was the wine Bronie recreated from the memory data given to her by Eden.
It probably belonged to the priceless category in the previous efa.
But for Bronie who could easily mass-produce, these were definitely not considered priceless.
"Sis Bronie, why did you suddenly want to drink today?"
Bronya had never seen Bronie drink before.
Today, she didn't expect Bronie to actually take out a bottle of wine from under the desk.
Bronie took out a corkscrew, pulled out the cork of the wine, and blew directly into the bottle.
"Nothing much. I just feeling melancholic. Kiana's state of mind and her future. Wings hardened will eventually soar, but never did I expect Kiana to be the last to come and the first to leave."
Bronie had thought Anila would be the first to leave the orphanage because she was a mathematical genius. If she went to school, she would easily be recommended by teachers and then directly enter university for further studies.
Perhaps she would even become a doctor of mathematics in the future.
"So, Sister Bronie doesn't actually want Kiana to leave?"
Watching Bronie take another sip of wine, Bronya felt her sister was sad at the moment.
"Yes, the road ahead is rough. Leaving this orphanage, there are many dangers outside. She might meet more people, form more bonds, but Honkai could take all of that away because Kiana's power is still insufficient."
Bronya didn't know what to say.
Shouldn't everyone avoid escaping?
Or should Kiana actually have the power to protect herself?
But Bronya felt that Bronie wasn't afraid of losing bonds; she was worried that Kiana's firepower wasn't enough.
...
After about four hours, Kiana returned.
Kiana returning was like a victorious warrior, instantly surrounded by the children.
After hearing that it was Kiana's father, Siegfried, who broke the orphanage's window, there was even more sighing.
Everyone here didn't have parents, but Kiana was directly abandoned by her dad. Seeing Kiana's expression, everyone felt a bit more pity for her.
As for envy?
That was definitely not there.
After Kiana came back, she shouted that she wanted to leave the orphanage.
There was no way she'd stay after Siegfried walked straight to the airport!
And he even boarded a plane as soon as he arrived, so Kiana had no way to track him.
Later, she found out she didn't have her ID or wallet with her, and she couldn't even show her guns at the airport.
In the end, Kiana could only suppress her anger and return to the orphanage to pack her things.
As for where to go?
The distant Nagazora City in the Far East. Kiana with sharp eyes, even saw the plane Siegfried boarded.
But before leaving, she had to say goodbye to Bronie.
"Sister Bronie!"
The office door opened, revealing Bronie lying on Bronya's lap, with many wine bottles on the sofa.
"Kiana, Sis Bronie is already drunk."
But even a normal person would get drunk after drinking so much wine, it's just that Bronya felt Bronie was pretending to be drunk.
It's obvious that she just didn't want to see Kiana say goodbye to her.
Really, Bronie also didn't expect to have this side to her.
"I'm not drunk!"
Bronie suddenly got up.
Kiana instantly perked up.
"Sis Bronie, thank you for taking care of me during this time! And for teaching me how to get along with the other me..."
Kiana had a lot more to say, but she was hugged by Bronie.
Her broad chest buried Kiana's head, and the fragrance of her body mixed with a hint of alcohol wafted over.
"If you live outside, remember to protect yourself. There's an organization called World Serpent that actively triggers Honkai. Be extremely cautious. Don't just rush into things outside. Remember to consider the consequences, don't wait until it's too late to regret."
"Okay..."
Kiana tried to respond, but it was hard to respond when she was buried in soft marshmallows.
"I've prepared the neural interface device Sirin wanted. She can play inside your consciousness at any time, but remember to charge it. I've also prepared more different forms of identification for you to conceal your whereabouts. And for the Schicksal OS system, I've left you a backdoor. If you activate the automatic identity concealment, no one will be able to see you in the surveillance."
The so-called Schicksal OS is actually a crime prevention surveillance system built by Schicksal in various factions, monitoring and pursuing all criminals within its surveillance range through pervasive monitoring and Schicksal's database.
It's like Otto's eyes.
But that thing isn't as reliable as you might think. At least Grey Serpent can come and go as he pleases, and Bronie can use its resources without leaving a trace.
But Kiana can't, nor can Entropy, let alone Siegfried.
Of course, the Schicksal OS system is still spreading and being built all over the world, and it hasn't truly achieved omnipresence yet, which is a good thing.
"Bronie..."
"Lastly, if you encounter someone you can't beat, just run away. Trust Sirin, she can help you with a lot of things. Then go chase after your goals."
"Okay, after I catch that old man, I'll come back! I'll even take my studies seriously!"
"Then I'll set the pass mark at eighty next time."
"Ah! Please no!"
In the end, Kiana packed up her things and said goodbye to everyone.
Of course, she wouldn't leave behind her gaming console and a bunch of skirts projected by Bronie's interests.
All these things were stuffed into a chameleon-style backpack. Kiana, who still looked very young, put on the backpack and set off again.
After Kiana left, Bronie grabbed Sin Mal who was watching Kiana leave.
"Tonight, you'll sleep with me!"
"Darn it! Sis Bronie, how can you drink so much!"
Sin was very unhappy, but she still carried Bronie back to their room.
Actually, everyone knew that Bronie couldn't bear to see Kiana leave. After all, she was the most lively and cute kid in the orphanage.
Everyone liked Kiana even though she appears a bit foolish sometimes and was lazy in her studies.
But whenever there was something good, Kiana would be the first to share it with everyone, and her sincere smile could always touch many people.
It's just a pity that Bronie didn't have a reason to keep Kiana, because Kiana was also exceptionally talented in battle, and her strength was unmatched.
Bronie just hoped that Kiana could have an easier journey and not let such a lovely girl suffer too much!
...
The day after Kiana left, Fu Hua and Durandal came to the orphanage.
This orphanage was relatively remote, and it took more than two hours from the airport.
But it didn't matter, Fu Hua quite liked this kind of life close to nature.
In such a place, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, returning to nature, there weren't many Honkai Beasts.
"Welcome to Haxxor Bunny's Den! Fu Hua, how have you been lately? And Bianka... No, I guess I should call you Durandal now, right? The Sea of Quanta is constantly experiencing strange phenomena, and there are deeper shadows lurking within it. But you follow your own will and fight for all the beauty in the world. You're already a great hero~"
Bronie looked at the once somewhat Kiana-like Durandal, whose temperament had completely changed. It could be said she had nothing to do with Kiana anymore.
"I... I'm not yet a mature and powerful warrior, but indeed, as you said, I will strive to fight for everything beautiful in the world. From now on, I will form the Immortal Blades squad under Schicksal and eliminate Honkai worldwide! Ms. Bronie, would you like to contribute your strength to the eradication of Honkai?"
Reversing the Bubble World brought a lot of physical pressure to Durandal, but the Holy Sword Durandal provided her with continuous reinforcement, and her body was constantly adapting.
In short, this small universe inside Durandal's body was very beneficial.
That's why Durandal felt she was doing well again, so she came to spar with Bronie.
Although Fu Hua said Durandal might lose.
But there was no Valkyrie in Schicksal who could defeat her anymore!
The Honkai Beasts were almost crushed in an instant.
To know her body's limits, to know how much she had grown, Durandal came to find Bronie.
As for why she didn't find Fu Hua?
Beating up a 50,000-year-old person, is that appropriate?
Moreover, Fu Hua's body had just recovered.
Who knows if there would be any unforeseen circumstances in some of Mobius' improvised areas?
Faced with Durandal's invitation, Bronie just smiled.
"I'll fight against Honkai my way, but definitely not by putting my strength in Schicksal. If you want to fight against Honkai, Schicksal is definitely not the best option, because there's too much darkness hidden within it, maybe something you're unaware of. Do you know Schrodinger? Do you know Sirin? They're both related to the darkness of Schicksal."
Precisely mentioning these two people left Durandal speechless.
Perhaps... there really was darkness within Schicksal, but this was the most direct channel Durandal thought of to fight against Honkai.
She only had talents as a warrior; she wasn't familiar with how to thoroughly fight against Honkai.
So she believed that as long as she could get on the battlefield, directly eliminate Honkai Beasts and Herrschers, protect civilians, and save other Valkyries, these were the real priorities.
"But, I'll still offer you as much help as I can! Just for you~"
With that, Bronie winked at Durandal.
And Miss Durandal looked utterly puzzled.

Bab 129: Chapter 129: The Role of the Genesis System in Actual Combat
The key aspect of the nickname "Durandal" is "Dudu," not goose.
Upon seeing Bronie's wink, Durandal was also left bewildered.
It was Fu Hua, under Sin guidance, who entered the orphanage and felt a myriad of emotions.
Compared to the typical shabby orphanages, Bronie had clearly put a lot of thought into the children. From various costumes to toys scattered around, and even some cute dolls,
it was evident that Bronie deeply cared for the children. Especially with these toys and dolls, they didn't match the style of the house at all.
"In fact, this orphanage used to be under the control of a warlord named Cocorlia. Although she adopted them, she didn't hesitate to send them to the laboratory despite claiming to love them."
"So, do these children all have adaptability to Honkai Energy?"
"That's correct, but there are actually quite a few people with resistance to Honkai Energy. Honkai has been a part of human civilization for so many years; it's natural that there would be some adaptation, right?"
"Yeah, you're right."
Fu Hua agreed.
At least in her memory, there were quite a few people with resistance to Honkai Energy. If one were to conduct a comprehensive data analysis, this number would be around five percent. Although few, within the base of seven billion humans, this five percent is sufficient to sustain human existence and maintain genetic diversity.
"But it's also very strange. Everyone actually has specific talents. For example, Sin is very skilled in time manipulation, perhaps she could even become a Pathstrider. Anila is also a mathematical genius, and Nina also has a very clear goal in her heart."
The children played and curiously looked at Fu Hua.
As their age increased, it brought about a very surreal feeling for the children. It was as if they had encountered some legendary figures. In fact, the children did treat Fu Hua as a character from their textbooks.
"Oh, bring out Book. It just so happens that Klein over there is also short of manpower to maintain the daily life of the Elysian Realm. If we leave it alone, I'm afraid the intense research activities of Mobius and Vill-V in the Elysian Realm every day will blow up the entire Elysian Realm."
"Ah? After fixing Book, are we going to send it to the Elysian Realm?"
"No, I just need the little ancestor's relevant data to reverse engineer the structure of the ELF. After all, neither Vill-V nor Mobius is a manufacturer of ELFs. This technology originally came from a genius scientist on Mu continent."
"I've forgotten everything you said."
"You, how can you forget like that! Didn't you undergo experiments involving data memory and entity fusion?"
"Forgetting some irrelevant things is quite good. Life is easier, and living happily every day is meaningful. Okay, here is Book of Fuxi."
Bronie reached out, and Fu Hua placed the suitcase she was holding on the ground and opened it, revealing a delicate and lovely ELF.
"Klein won't let me research her, and the ELF Shamash is specialized in combat. Fuxi is likely specialized in data analysis, so——"
"I understand! Are you planning to dismantle Book?"
"Come on! Am I such a terrifying person! Just scan it, maybe gather some ether data, and then transcribe it into a blueprint. ELFs have experienced the awakening of mechanical consciousness anyway! Logically speaking, they should have some rights in the galaxy, right?"
Like Screwlum of the Genius Society, Bronie believes that awakened mechanical life forms should still retain some rights in terms of social structures in the universe.
Taking them apart and putting them back together always feels like killing and resurrecting the other party.
"Sorry, I really didn't know about this..."
"So stop apologizing! Relax, smile more, okay?"
"Miss Bronie, please hurry up; I've already warmed up."
Durandal was brought over by Bronya.
Earlier, Durandal wanted to have an intense and exciting battle with Bronie immediately.
After asking if there was any open space for warming up, Bronya took Durandal to the playground where everyone usually practiced.
As a result, Durandal warmed up in no time, as if she had done a set of warm-up exercises?
"Wait a minute, Bronie."
Fu Hua saw Bronya, then looked at Bronie.
"What's up?"
"Is that... your daughter?"
At this, Durandal also widened her eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense! She's my sister, my sister! There are countless Bronyas in the universe, and I happened to meet one and adopted her. What's wrong with that?"
"Right! Bronie isn't from this world!"
Durandal also suddenly realized, but she was still very confused. Could there really be countless Bronyas in the universe?
"Sis Bronie is talking nonsense again. But perhaps there really are many Bronyas in the universe. However, for Sister Bronya, the only Bronya is me!"
Alright, now Durandal figured it out. Bronya indeed relied on Bronie.
While Durandal was chatting, Bronie finished what she was doing. Fuxi woke up slowly, and Bronie thought Fuxi and Fu Hua might need a separate space, so she threw them into Kiana's room. Fortunately, Kiana's room was also vacant.
"Let's go, Durandal. But one thing to note is that my fighting style might differ from the known conventional methods, and my style might vary each time. It's best if you wear your Valkyrie Battlesuit."
"No problem! In the Sea of Quanta, I felt the crisis there firsthand. Being able to wander alone in such a dangerous place, this means your combat power is much stronger than I expected."
This almost told herself to use her full strength! This suited Durandal's intentions perfectly.
"This isn't the place for full-on combat. If we insist, your combat power should be close to that of a Herrscher, right? Follow me."
As Bronie spoke, she projected a portal, and upon opening it, they found a desolate space on the other side.
Even the sky was chaotic.
Durandal didn't hesitate to walk in, showing no sign of caution, which furrowed Bronie's brows.
"Didn't you even think for a moment before following me into an unknown space? Are you really so lacking in caution?"
"Huh? Would you harm me?"
Durandal's straightforward question left Bronie speechless.
Was it because Rita wasn't around that she never considered this possibility!?
"Remember not to do this again. I'm not from Schicksal but you will be the strongest Valkyrie. If someone has strong hostility towards Schicksal, eliminating the strongest Valkyrie might bring them considerable benefits."
"Since you can say that, you're definitely not a bad person. But thanks for the reminder Miss Bronie. So, are you ready for the fight?"
With that, Durandal projected her ultimate creation – the Fourth Generation Godsbane Battlesuit, Bright Knight - Excelsis.
"It's quite impressive, but I don't have much armor on me. However, I have this."
With a snap of her fingers, Bronie summoned numerous drones around Durandal.
"And then... activate the Genesis System~"
"Where is this... Mental Hospital?"
Durandal had played many games before, although she usually thought training was better than playing games.
Training could make her stronger and better equipped to deal with more Honkai Outbreaks.
But Rita always insisted on resting, and it was mostly a rest where she couldn't move much.
So, with nothing else to do, Durandal was given a game console and introduced to the games made by Bronie.
The games were fun, with some very touching stories.
Of course, Durandal's favorites were Bloodborne and Elden Ring, as those games helped her improve her combat awareness and learn to observe opponents' attack patterns.
This was very rare.
There were also fighting games that Durandal enjoyed for the feeling of hand-to-hand combat, each move a gamble.
Bronie's recent game, Evil Within, felt mediocre, with a bit of a spooky atmosphere, but Durandal felt she could do better than Sebastian.
However, as the plot was gradually revealed, Durandal couldn't help but doubt if she could really defeat enemies like those who control minds.
What would the result be? Before she could reach a conclusion, Bronie pulled off this stunt.
But Durandal was sure that everything before her was false; the original space should have been flat, with nothing extra.
"Sorry, I just made use of the existing materials a little and wanted to test the effectiveness of my Genesis System."
"So, you developed this thing recently?"
"Yeah, for more efficient game development and for the realism of future games. Next is the Genesis System, activating the simulation mode."
As Bronie inputted the command, everything changed before their eyes. The sound of rain, the feeling of raindrops hitting her body, the smell of gunpowder, and the slight hustle and bustle of the city – even the taste of the air changed!
This made Durandal frown.
"Are we done?"
"Done? The moment you put on your Valkyrie Battlesuit, the battle began. Did you forget? Do you need me to count down? Alright, three, two, one, start!"
Bronie raised an eyebrow, and Durandal suddenly felt a sense of danger.
This instinctive sense of danger was something she acquired only after becoming the Valkyrie wielding the Holy Sword.
She quickly moved away, and behind her, a strange safe-box head appeared, swinging a bloody saw-meat axe in the air!
But the smell of blood and the airflow caused by the empty swing made Durandal feel incredulous.
It's too real!
Even though she knew everything before her was fake, and she was trying hard to feel the flaws in everything, but...
"Hmm, is this intuition related to the magnetic field? It seems that for true simulation, further improvement is needed. Be careful next, the difficulty of the game will gradually increase, and what you see may not be real or very..."
Finishing her words, Durandal suddenly felt weightless, as if she were plummeting rapidly!
And the whole city was crumbling. No, why did she feel weightless!?
Durandal didn't have time to think, but one thing she was sure of was that she had to defeat the one controlling everything.
That's Bronie!
Durandal quickly stepped on the fragments around her, but stepped on nothing.
A fake.
Just when Durandal thought she was about to fall into an abyss, she found that what she thought was an abyss was only a small step away. But the scene around her changed again.
"The next wave of attacks is coming~"
The voice came from the left!
Durandal no longer trusted her eyes and rushed towards the sound without hesitation.
But her spear hit something hard, making her arm numb.
"What... is this thing... It's even harder than the shell of a Honkai beast..."
"Hmm, the shield system passed. Next is Anila's Spear of Time..."
"So, you're using me as a test weapon now!"
Durandal was getting impatient. But Bronie remained calm.
"Face your weaknesses, don't be misled by what you see, don't let your emotions guide you. A truly powerful warrior won't be affected by these little tricks."
If it were Kevin, he would freeze everything around him.
If it were Kalpas, he would summon a bunch of meteorites for a wide spread destruction.
If it were Aponia... probably she would pull the target into a dream and change the battlefield.
As for Elysia, a bunch of flashy special effects would overwhelm the scene, overloading the Genesis System's processing power.
Anyway, every Flamechaser had their own way.
So, this thing of Bronie's could only be used to torture rookies at most.
But hearing Bronie's words, Durandal suddenly felt respectful.
"I see, Senior Bronie, I understand! I'll find a way to break through everything! King! And Queen! Listen to my command! Destroy everything in front of me!"
Initially, Durandal's Valkyrie Battlesuit had impressive offensive capabilities, and now she summoned even fiercer stand-ins, attacking wildly like a berserker.
Ordinary drones would be useless, so she used...
"I found you!"
Suddenly, Durandal locked eyes sharply at the direction of Bronie, making Bronie's heart skip a beat.
"Are you a bat! How can you use this technique!?"
"This is a function of the Autonomous Phantom Spirit. I never thought of using it before, but..."
Two huge knights attacked Bronie, but were caught by the fists of an even larger robot.
"I won't fail so easily this time!"
