Chapter 198 Old Deng, he's dropped gold coins!
Bronya was not unaware of the conspiracy lurking behind this seduction.
But she never took it to heart, after all—she was the Herald of Reason.
All schemes and tricks are no match for true power.
just.
When Bronya saw the dark gold metal box that the gray snake had thrown was extremely close to her, for some reason, she had a bad feeling.
Subconsciously, it took precautions and called for the heavily armed bunny to stand in front of it—the duckling gained a moment of peace of mind.
"Drip~"
A crisp sound rang out from the box, and the next moment, the metal box slowly opened, emitting a faint red light, and an invisible force spread out.
And the result it brings is—
"what--!"
A painful howl rang out, and faint arcs of electricity could be seen coiling around Bronya's body.
"It was easier than I expected."
"You... what did you do!" Hearing the hoarse, mechanical voice, Bronya, lying on the ground, raised her head and gritted her teeth—a sense of unease washed over her. She could feel that the connection between her body and the Herrscher's authority had been severed, and she could not feel the existence of the authority at all, and therefore, it was impossible to mobilize it.
In other words, at this point, she was just an ordinary person.
It was a sure-win situation, so why did it suddenly turn out like this?
Regret was probably the strongest thought in Bronya's mind at that moment.
If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have the time or the interest to explain the underlying principles to you, Miss Bronya.”
"Let's capture him without mercy."
“Dream on,” Bronya replied, getting up.
The Staff of the Underworld has the function of suppressing the powers of the Herrschers, but it does not affect its own power. In other words, although she was reduced to her original form, Bronya still retains her original power, such as how to control the Heavy Bunny and some techniques of the Void Sword Qi.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of Herrscher power, even the recolored Heavy Bunny was reduced to its original form. Relying only on the initial form of Heavy Bunny and a half-baked Void Sword Qi, this version of Duck is at best an A-rank Valkyrie.
To think that Stan could handle Rita is simply overestimating himself.
They were easily defeated in the CG.
Oh dear, I've lost again!
"Meow~ (Weren't you so arrogant before?)" Amidst the resentment of the heavily armored bunny, Stan smashed it to pieces and sent it back to the Quantum Sea. Then he knocked down the duck and looked down at Bronya, who was lying on the ground with her face covered in dust and full of resentment.
"Meow~ (Why aren't you being arrogant anymore? Keep being arrogant!)"
"Meow~ (This is it, yes, this is it.)"
"Meow~ (This is the expression I want to see.)"
"Alright, let's go. The other side is almost ready too." Gray Serpent stopped Stan's 'humiliation play' and instructed the hooded figure that had appeared out of nowhere—Raven—"She's in your care, Raven."
The reason World Serpent deliberately brought out the Herrscher of Reason was to prevent her from ruining the plan again.
Therefore, they used Stan directly as bait, trying to catch him.
Actually, I didn't have high expectations. After all, although World Serpent does have the Staff of the Underworld, a powerful weapon specifically designed to counter Herrschers, it would still be quite difficult to deal with if the Herrschers were prepared.
With the current Lord still holed up in the sea, World Serpent lacks top-tier combat power capable of contending with the Herrschers.
I just didn't expect that the Herrscher of Reason would take the bait so easily, and even stupidly take a hit from the Staff of the Dead...laughable.
However, although they easily defeated the Herrscher of Reason with unexpected difficulty, they could not easily take away her Herrscher core because they had to consider the relationship between the Lord and the Herrscher of Reason, so they obviously could not be ruthless.
There was no other way but to send the raven to watch over the Herrscher of Reason.
“No problem, I’ll keep a ‘good’ eye on her.” Raven said kindly. After Gray Snake left, he walked happily to Bronya, who was bound like a caterpillar: “Now, she’s finally in my hands, isn’t she?”
"Crack~"
Bronya was about to say something, but the crisp sound and the clear, strange pain made her cheeks flush instantly. "Raven, what are you trying to do!"
"Um..."
Upon hearing this title, Miss Dodo fell into a brief moment of thought. Given that guy's personality, he should have called her 'Nata', right?
No, it's also possible that this guy is faking it!
What are you pretending for?
Did you think that just because you're pretending, Miss Dodo, I won't hit you?
Come again!
Hey, it feels surprisingly good to hold.
As the raven savored the memory, it noticed the duck's blood-red face.
...Wait, could this guy really be Bronya?
Originally intending to thoroughly humiliate that guy, Miss Dodo, without giving it much thought, scrutinized the former with some suspicion.
Because she has never met Jiang Qiaoya, it is extremely difficult for her to judge the authenticity of Bronya.
If that's true, then I must have made a mistake.
It's not a big deal to have hit the wrong person, but admitting it would be a little embarrassing—would I have to explain to Bronya that I hit the wrong person and that I meant to hit that guy?
Not wanting to be embarrassed, Miss Dodo made a quick decision after careful consideration—whether you are real or fake, you are fake now!
As long as I don't admit it, then I haven't hit the wrong person!
And...it feels pretty good too.
Did that guy feel the same way when he hit himself?
Subconsciously recalling that feeling, Miss Dodo felt as if she had awakened an incredible fantasy.
...
The Elizabeth Tower, also known as the Old Clock Tower or Big Ben.
This building, situated beside the Thames, is arguably the most famous building in the country.
"I didn't expect to be taken down so easily." The white-haired girl wearing a sun hat sighed as the binoculars in her hand turned into specks of light and dissipated. "I thought Duck would have made some progress in Paradise."
This is naturally Jiang Qiao, who ran away in the name of 'Kiana'. After obtaining information from various sources, he finally chose to come to this country.
However, Jiang Qiao did not choose to act rashly. Instead, she leisurely strolled around London. Well... she thought she would just take a break. After all, she had done a lot of good deeds before. Although the wear and tear and fatigue were left to her previous body, she also needed to balance work and rest.
As for Bronya's situation, he naturally discovered it.
They didn't act until they were sure there was no danger, just to avoid alerting the enemy.
Even so, Jiang Qiao had some reservations about Bronya's 'brilliant performance'.
Hmm... Hopefully, this lesson will help her grow.
Leaning against the railing of Big Ben, his cheek resting on his hand, reflecting the calm Thames River, he could sense the anomaly in the space above the Thames due to the unique nature of his body—the Second Divine Key, Thousand Realms One Vehicle, was stored there. It had been dormant there since Kevin was sealed away and Sue, filled with remorse, sealed himself in the Sea of Quanta. It was only recently that he was mobilized again when he went to the Sea of Quanta to retrieve people. Presumably, this was the reason why Destiny discovered the anomaly and tracked it down here.
As for the second Divine Key, she didn't have any need for it. With this body, Kiana was confident that she completely surpassed the rigid Thousand Realms One Vehicle in terms of controlling the imaginary space.
The World Serpent... they don't really need this Key of God; they just don't want the Lord's things to fall into the hands of others.
The only one who truly needs the second Divine Key is probably that old man from Schicksal.
Should she stop it? Given their hostile stance, stopping the other party's actions seemed like the best option, but after thinking about it, the girl gave up on the idea.
Whether it's for the sake of maintaining stability, for some personal need, or for some admiration for that man, it seems unnecessary to keep this key of the gods unless it's needed.
After all—if it weren't for the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, given Otto's personality, he wouldn't mind finding other ways to achieve his goals.
Just like what that old man from Klosten said.
If he had no other choice, he wouldn't mind sacrificing the entire world to achieve his long-cherished wish.
It just so happens that at that time, Otto Apocalypse had a better choice—a better way for himself, for the world, and for the people he loved.
Forcibly restricting that man's choice will only make the situation more difficult to salvage.
While it's not impossible to handle, if things can be made simpler, why complicate things so much?
It is unclear what World Serpent and Destiny's plans are in this game.
but--
"That doesn't stop me from taking the initiative in the situation." The white-haired girl, who had already made up her mind, smiled and casually shook hands.
An invisible wave of destructive energy spread out, causing ripples in the air above the middle section of the Thames.
Durandal, who emerged from the police station with the help of destiny, raised an eyebrow. Her bloodline as a descendant of the Saria gave her a unique advantage in manipulating Honkai energy. Combined with the resistance of the Kaslana bloodline and her years of hard work as an S-rank Valkyrie, she easily detected this unusual energy fluctuation.
The blonde girl who got off the train was somewhat taken aback, but the next moment, after seeing circles of what looked like numbers flashing in her eyes, she instantly revealed an expression of excitement.
Standing by the lush lawn, talking to Catherine, the curator of the British Museum, the jackal wearing a dog-face mask revealed a hint of annoyance on his handsome face hidden beneath the mask.
