Somewhere in the universe.
Inside a spaceship.
Kafka and Silver Wolf were also watching the newly released short film "Angel's Rebuild."
"That child looks a lot like you."
Kafka smiled slightly as she watched Bronya on the screen.
"Although her name is Bronya, the same as a certain Supreme Guardian on Jarilo-VI, I feel she resembles you more~"
"After all, both of you... are incredibly skilled hackers."
Silver Wolf held a terminal in one hand while sipping a drink.
She shot Kafka a sidelong glance.
Replying, "Give it a rest. I'm Silver Wolf, I'm one of a kind."
"And... this little girl has terrible taste. She actually likes that yellow rabbit and even named her armor 'Project Bunny'?"
"How tacky."
"Her fighting style is almost entirely charged cannons, with no sense of skill at all."
It was clear.
Silver Wolf had strong opinions about Bronya from the world of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Of course,
This was more of a "tough love" mentality.
In Silver Wolf's eyes, this little girl who shared similar looks and attributes with her was a bit too... immature!
Not cool enough!
Of course,
Even as she said this,
Her eyes remained fixed on the video.
Following Bronya's subsequent development?
Would she be able to seize the authority of this Herrscher Core for herself?
If she could use it, she should become a bit more impressive, right?
...
The situation didn't seem optimistic.
Under the terrifying corruption, Bronya's hand holding the core finally loosened.
Her entire body fell into the bottomless sea abyss.
At that moment.
A blue butterfly swam upstream.
Chasing after Bronya's falling figure.
Gently touching her fingertips.
In an instant,
Bronya seemed to sense something!
She opened her eyes.
And saw a girl with short blue hair.
Reaching out her hand toward her.
"Seele..."
...
"Go for it, Duck!"
"Ahhhhh..."
"Wow! This world's Seele looks so similar to the one from Belobog!"
"A girl version of Seele! And she looks so gentle!"
"I love this!"
"Huh? How did the gem come back? Did Seele bring it to her?"
"Is she going to become the Herrscher of Reason?!"
...
Jarilo-VI.
Beneath the glacier.
Seele kicked her scythe out, slicing through several monsters that appeared in the air!
At the same time, she kicked away a monster that had crawled to the cave entrance.
Then caught the scythe and swung it again!
Her breathing was already quickening.
Suddenly!
She heard a voice calling "Seele" from behind!
Was someone calling her?
No,
It seemed to be a voice from that video.
If Seele could glance at the video now, she would realize.
The butterfly that guided her to the right path was completely identical to the one that appeared in the video!
"It seems in another world, there is someone very similar to me?"
Seele smiled bitterly.
If...
If she could survive.
She really wanted to play this game called Honkai Impact 3rd properly!
I wonder if the other world's version of me also uses a scythe as a weapon?
Is she also good at fighting?
...
The video continued.
Bronya opened her eyes.
She was surprised to find.
The out-of-control gem had peacefully appeared on her chest.
Compared to its previous furious energy, it was now as gentle as a little lamb!
Embracing it in her arms.
The gem began to emit a dazzling light!
The massive arms enveloping the space couldn't withstand this light, swelling up like a balloon filled with too much air!
Then,
It exploded!
"Hum!"
A brand-new mecha emerged!
Protecting Bronya within.
Countless butterflies fluttered out from her as the center.
Also coloring this brand new Project Bunny!
The helmet full of technological flair, the curvature and streamline of the body achieved the most perfect proportions.
The newly generated mechanical arms were extremely powerful!
However!
What was even more stunning was the change in Bronya herself!
The originally broken exoskeleton had fallen off, replaced by a brand-new set of armor!
As the butterflies merged into her chest.
The previously illusory construction materialized completely at this moment!
The overall tone was blue, white, and black.
More form-fitting,
And even more technologically advanced!
Lifting her head.
Bronya's eyes were unprecedentedly firm and resolute!
A blue light flashed on her chest!
It seemed the transformation was complete!
...
"Wow!!"
"So awesome!"
"Isn't this just too cool?"
"I remember Duck's legs seemed to have problems before, relying on the exoskeleton, but now she's actually wearing white stockings. Was she healed by the Herrscher of Reason's core?"
"This armor is completely different in style from the previous one!"
"The previous one was an old-fashioned style from three Amber Eras ago, now it's directly turned into the latest technological style!"
"This armor is not only practical but also incredibly beautiful, making Bronya look like a princess!"
"Mecha + Form + Girl—this is literally every man's dream!"
...
Just as Bronya completed her transformation.
Within this space.
A massive black vortex suddenly appeared.
Two pale claws gripped its edges.
A huge, twisted monster crawled out from within!
"ROAR!!"
The slender arms from earlier were all part of its body.
Powerful Honkai Energy splattered out like ink!
And below, Bronya moved!
As she ran forward, her legs began to change continuously!
Transforming into two rollerblades!
Drifting along the monster's attacking arms!
Leaping high into the air with the momentum of the curve!
Incredibly agile and graceful!
But the Honkai Beast was also a vicious existence, seizing the moment she glided through the air.
It instantly initiated an attack!
Purple light gathered in its mouth!
A beam of Destruction erupted forth!
In that moment with no room to retreat.
Project Bunny teleported in front of Bronya.
Activating a force field Shield.
After the intense explosion and thick smoke cleared.
Bronya in the air remained completely unharmed!
Not even her Shield was broken!
...
"My god! So strong!"
"Is this... the Herrscher of Reason?"
"This Honkai Beast looks like it could rival a Doomsday Beast, doesn't it?"
"Angel's Rebuild... I think I understand the meaning of this short film's title now."
"My daughter has grown up!"
"Bronya: At this moment, I have fully become the Herrscher of Reason!"
...
On the spaceship.
Silver Wolf stood up excitedly!
"This..."
"It really does look kind of awesome!"
Her eyes lit up!
Earlier, she had said Bronya's Project Bunny was too old-fashioned and her fighting style too simple...
But now,
in just over ten seconds!
She had rebuilt herself into such a brand-new form!
Completely different from before!
She really had spoken too loudly earlier!
Sorry, Bronya!
Even Silver Wolf
had to admit!
At this moment, Bronya really made her a little envious!
"I get it now, she really has become the Herrscher of Reason."
"So she can transform into her ideal form."
"I see, this Herrscher of Reason's authority really has something to it!"
"It seems somewhat similar to our Punklorde's Aether Editing too!"
However.
Silver Wolf didn't expect!
There was even more awesomeness to come!
