Chapter 1219
"Because the recognition of Mr. Welt alone is not enough for Bronya to unleash the full power of the Herrscher of Reason."
Bronya states the reason for her arrival.
Although the moment the Gem of Truth was embedded in her chest, she was already able to wield the authority to construct all things.
But this is not enough! Far from enough!
To fully unleash the power contained within the core, Bronya Zaychik must obtain the recognition of the three hundred thousand consciousnesses inside the Herrscher core to become the true Herrscher of Reason.
"Are you also a warrior fighting against the Honkai?"
"At such a young age?"
"Although she has a firm will."
"She is also somewhat childish."
"Can we really give the power to her?"
Countless consciousnesses are still scrutinizing Bronya; some are stern, some are gentle, some are repelling, and some are affectionate.
But without exception, they are all incomparably cautious.
Because these three hundred thousand people all know how vast the potential contained within the Herrscher of Reason is; just as in the previous civilization, Bai Ge already proved that it could even construct a world.
Therefore, they must choose a suitable successor before handing over this authority; they cannot simply give the power to her just because Bronya looks cute.
"Bronya knows you are questioning, and she knows why you are questioning. In fact, Bronya herself does not know why Bai Ge recommended me to become the Herrscher of Reason."
In Bronya's mind, the figure of the white-haired boy appears first, followed by a Fire Moth Flame-Chaser who recently joined St. Freya Academy and wears a very steampunk outfit.
Vill-V, who bears the title of 【Helix】.
If one were to ask who is most suitable to become the Herrscher of Reason, Bronya personally believes that no one in the world is more suitable than Vill-V; after all, that person's talent is simply too outrageous! If paired with the Herrscher of Reason core, it would be like cheating!
"But since Bai Ge chose Bronya, there must be his reasons, and Bronya does not want to disappoint him, so... I will definitely make you recognize me!"
"In any case, let's start with a self-introduction."
Bronya says this while unlocking her memories, showing her past experiences to the consciousnesses of these three hundred thousand people.
The difficult but warm memories of her childhood spent with her mother, the painful and desperate memories of being kidnapped and trained as a child soldier, the memories of being saved and loved after meeting Bai Ge, and so on.
Except for the lewd parts, Bronya displays all the memories of her life up to this point.
"…………" xN
The three hundred thousand consciousnesses fall collectively silent at this moment.
Facing Bronya's complex experiences, which are far different from those of a normal child, they all realize that the girl who has come before them has already experienced the heavy trials of fate.
Bai Ge once thought that Bronya, who had been spared many of the hardships in the game under his protection, lacked sufficient mental fortitude.
But this was actually a misjudgment, because the girl named Bronya Zaychik had already experienced enough when she was very young; the girl's still-pure heart had actually long since endured the wind and rain of fate.
She had already tasted the most bitter suffering in this world, like a butterfly that had once fallen into the mud and could not fly; if she hadn't been lucky enough to be picked up by a white-haired boy, she would have broken her wings long ago.
"Actually, when I learned that the meaning of Mr. Welt's name is 'world,' Bronya felt that perhaps she was not suitable to become the Herrscher of Reason."
Bronya's hands slowly clench as she reveals her inner thoughts.
"Because in the past, Bronya hated the world, and even resented the world, thinking that this world was terrible."
Bronya had once been deeply hurt by the malice of the human world.
When she was forcibly taken away from her mother by bad people and trained as a child soldier to be a killing tool, her heart was filled with gray despair, and she naturally resented the world.
If she had been chosen by the Honkai at that time, then there is no doubt that Bronya Zaychik would have become a Herrscher of Honkai standing on the opposite side of humanity, executing the mission of destroying the world.
After all, to her at that time, the world was ugly and unbearable.
Forcing Bronya to defile the lives of others.
And using the lives of others to defile her hands.
"But just when Bronya felt desperate about everything and thought this world was beyond saving, a person became a beam of warm light that illuminated my heart, allowing Bronya to be saved."
The girl's memories replay in the core space.
That was the day she received orders to assassinate a young orphanage director named Bai Ge, only for the famous 'Silver Wolf of the Urals' to be easily countered and captured.
In the end, Bronya became the other's daughter, and under Bai Ge's care, she changed from a killing weapon back into a human.
"Bronya will never forget that day."
"It was Bai Ge who saved me when I was desperate about the world, letting me know that this world is actually not that bad."
"Every day spent at the Hearth of Fire, every second spent with him, is Bronya's most precious memory."
Bronya raises her hand to press against her chest.
A blush appears on the girl's cheeks.
The consciousnesses with some emotional intelligence immediately understand that Bronya is not only a young Valkyrie with a bumpy life, but also a girl who has fallen in love and had her heart awakened.
Thus, some consciousnesses are already showing motherly smiles...
"So, how do you view the world now?"
"This world is whatever... Bronya thinks so now; although I don't hate it anymore, Bronya still hasn't come to like this world."
Bronya says this while looking directly at the questioning consciousness.
"Is that so? That is also something that can't be helped."
Some consciousnesses nod in understanding; Bronya being able to let go of her hatred for the world is already a remarkable thing that most adults cannot do.
But this makes them all feel regretful.
Because the Herrscher of Reason is a power that protects the world, so if there is no will to protect the world, they cannot hand over the complete Herrscher authority to Bronya.
However, in the next second, Bronya continues.
"However... although it doesn't matter what the world is like, many people who are important to Bronya live in this world."
"There is the virtuous and reliable Sister Mei, the silly and brave Kiana, the gentle and cute Seele, and Sister Eden who sings very beautifully, and so on and so forth, as well as—the person Bronya likes the most, Bai Ge."
"It is they who accompany me, it is they who let me see the gentle and beautiful side of the world; therefore, in a sense... they are Bronya's world."
The girl takes a deep breath, holds her head high, and scans the thirty thousand consciousnesses, all of whom look surprised, with a sincere gaze as she continues.
"Bronya likes them, and she likes the world where they are, so..."
"In order for the people I love to live happily."
"In order for the him I love to no longer be hurt."
"For them, and everything they love, I, Bronya Zaychik, am willing to become the third true Herrscher of Reason who fights for humanity!"
"So, please lend me your power!"
The girl's voice echoes in the mental space.
So youthful, so firm.
So strong, so brave.
If Welt Yang is a pure hero, the reason that man protects the world is a selfless will.
Then the reason Bronya Zaychik protects the world is the exact opposite—selfishness; she is not a hero, but decided to protect the world for the sake of the people important to her.
But what is wrong with that?
Feeling Bronya's pure and sincere heart.
The three hundred thousand consciousnesses only feel that they have been moved; the silver-gray-haired girl before them is indeed a warrior who holds a firm will and fights to protect beauty and the world.
Therefore, the consciousnesses also respond one after another.
"This girl once resented."
"But she has already let go of that natural resentment."
· ·······Seeking flowers····· ·
"She once hesitated."
"But she has already overcome the confusion in her heart."
"She once feared."
"But she has already conquered the cowardice in her heart."
"Therefore, she is worthy of being another Herrscher of Reason."
"Her will is by no means a lie; it is firm and mature."
"Then we should also do our best to help her."
The three hundred thousand consciousnesses identify with "Bronya Zaychik," recognize the beauty in her heart, recognize the things she wants to protect, and...
Her identity as the new Herrscher of Reason.
Thus, at this moment, the ideals of the masses gather together.
The three hundred thousand consciousnesses resonate in unison, sounding the hymn of rebirth; their souls transform into the complete and flawless authority of the Herrscher of Reason, blooming with dazzling blue radiance.
"Come, Bronya Zaychik, inherit our will, inherit our power; in order to protect the beauty in your heart, you shall become the third Herrscher of Reason!"
