Five years of collapse and three years of simulation

Chapter 645 The Reverberation of the Core

"What's going on?" Han Jiang asked Chang Guang.

Chang Guang looked at the projection seriously, and muttered: "The ability to dominate the Herrscher is domination, and the power of Bronya's Herrscher is dominated by the opponent, not taken away."

"So, the Herrscher Dominator's current use of the Herrscher of Reason's power is just a way of 'borrowing'."

"We compare the power of the Herrscher of Reason to a weapon. The owner of the weapon is Bronya. When Bronya uses it, the Herrscher can also use it. Therefore, the wear and tear of this weapon requires distribution. Lonya will take care of it."

"The reason why we didn't observe the core of reason yesterday is because we were confused by the Herrscher, and preconceived that the Herrscher directly took away the core."

Bronya sat up, put one hand on her chest and asked puzzledly, "Then why can't I feel the existence of the core, not even the slightest bit of the power of the Herrscher of Reason?"

"This..." Changguang shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet."

"This thing is very complicated, and I can't describe it specifically."

"If I had to describe it, it would be like Bronya's computer was hacked by the Herrscher. The computer is still in my own hands, but the control belongs to others."

"Because you can't use the computer yourself, you can't perceive the existence of the computer..."

"Probably... probably so."

In the end, even Changguang himself didn't know what he was talking about.

Although it is very difficult to completely regain the power of the core of reason, at least some progress has been made.

Just give Chang Guang a little more time and she can fix this problem.

Meanwhile, in an abandoned building, Einstein came to the same conclusion.

After all, he is the chief orthodox scientist of anti-entropy, much more powerful than the weapon master Chang Guang.

With crude instruments, Einstein managed to analyze Bronya's situation.

"How to take it back, we still need to find the location of the Herrscher." Einstein said to Walter.

Walter wiped his face. If it wasn't because his body hadn't recovered, because his strength hadn't returned, Walter would have gone to recruit people to desperately.

It's a pity that even if we find the long light that dominates the regular appearance of the Herrscher, we can't determine the position of the ruler now.

After the ravages of the Honkai, Stormwind City gradually recovered its vitality, and Master Changguang was busy with the matter of dominating the Herrscher.

The Immortal Blade team also stayed here, waiting for the next appearance of the Herrscher.

In the next few days, Han Jiang took Rosalia and Lilia to take on some small-scale tasks continuously, trying to give them the maximum exercise.

A morning of running between Bronya and constantly being checked by Einstein and Master Changguang.

Bronya, who was lying in the base room and hadn't opened her eyes, suddenly asked about a strong and pungent smell.

But Bronya didn't open her eyes immediately, she was slowly analyzing the source of these smells.

It's supposed to be the smell of a fire, with planks lit, asphalt melted, debris like cloth, and... people.

"here……"

After discovering the rest of the smell, Bronya opened her eyes and found herself lying on the ground, struggling to get up from the ground.

Looking around, it is a dilapidated and burning city, more like... a city after the catastrophe.

"Bronya knows, it should be... the scene after the second collapse."

Even in the dream, Bronya's rationality still prevailed.

She was born in the land of Siberia, and now that she has returned to this land, coupled with her recently exhausted spirit, it is not surprising that she dreams of something.

When the second Honkai happened, Bronya was still in her infancy.

It stands to reason that a baby in swaddling would not have any memory, but seeing this, Bronya did not feel strange or frightened.

After getting up, Bronya began to look at everything around her, trying to keep it in her heart.

Bronya suspects that this is the ability brought by the core of reason, to be able to see the memories hidden in her heart before.

If only I could see more... Dad... Mom...

Bronya is looking forward to, although she never remembers the appearance of her father or mother, she also wants to see the way her parents caress her, the touch of being touched and the smiles of the two.

"Maybe... Mom and Dad died because they hugged me as an infant?"

Bronya began to actively search, trying to find what she wanted to see here.

Perhaps feeling Bronya's mood, the dream became much more real.

The smell of all kinds of things being burnt, all kinds of sundries that can't be burned under the feet.

There is also a billboard that is burning, Bronya can't help but look up, in case the advertisement is afraid of falling.

"Huh? No!?"

The billboard was written in German, and Bronya visited many places in order to prove that this was not Siberia.

There are traces of German everywhere, so this is not Siberia at all.

"But why!?"

Bronya wondered why she dreamed of such a place.

She squeezed her own hand, this is not the real touch that is still in the dream.

I have never been to Germany, but why did I see these?

While Bronya was wondering, a blue-haired figure appeared in front of her.

He seemed out of place with his surroundings, and his movements were ignorant.

The man got up from the ground, looked at his hands, and then looked around.

It seems to be exactly the same as Bronya's action just now, I just want to show Bronya's action again.

Suddenly an emotion entered Bronya's heart, she stretched out her hand and handed it to the blue-haired figure.

When the hands of the two were about to touch, the world suddenly became dark, and Bronya woke up.

"Hu~hu..."

Bronya, who was lying in the quilt, was panting heavily, and the sweat on her head wet the pillow.

Bronya stroked the hair sticking to her forehead, wondering about the dream just now.

Bronya couldn't figure out why she dreamed about those things, if it was somewhere else, she could understand.

After all, Bronya has been a Valkyrie for several years, and there are no fewer cities where she has been on missions.

And the dream just now was really too real, whether it was taste or feeling, it was like experiencing it personally.

Not like a dream, more like a memory...

"memory?"

Bronya muttered, and then quickly searched for people related to German among the people she knew.

Soon Bronya found the target, and the base hadn't officially started working until it was still early. Bronya slipped out of the base and went to the abandoned building where Einstein and the others were located.

"Bronya, why are you here?" Walter took the initiative to ask Bronya: "Are you here to find Ain, she has other experiments, so..."

Bronya shook her head, "No, Bronya came to see Leader Walter."

"Come to me?" Walter couldn't believe it, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Bronya hesitated for a moment, then immediately told Walter her dream.

After all, the only clue that can be related to German should be the core of reason.

Walter was stunned for a moment, and instead of answering Bronya's question immediately, he asked, "Can you feel the core of reason again?"

Bronya thought for a while and said: "No, I feel that the core of reason is very far away from me, and it is very difficult to mobilize the ability of the Herrscher of reason first."

"Hmm..." Walter put his hand on his chin and thought for a while, not wanting to understand what was going on, so he answered Bronya's question first.

"The person you see is the first leader of anti-entropy and the first acting Herrscher, Joyce."

"But..." Bronya questioned, "Why do I see these things?"

Walter looked into the distance, and this question caught him too.

"As you continue to use the power of the Herrscher of Reason, the core of the Herrscher in your body will fuse with you to a certain extent."

"I have also experienced the same thing. This is not a bad thing, but there will be some side effects, including that you will see the afterimage of consciousness in this core."

Bronya thought thoughtfully: "In other words, the core of reason is gradually merging with Bronya, so you can see something similar to the core memory?"

The more they talked, the more weird they felt.

If these phenomena appeared before the events about the Herrscher, it is very possible.

Bronya needs a lot of training to master the power of the core of reason, and also needs to go to various places to perform tasks.

Whether it is during the execution of tasks or during exercise, the core of reason will be used to a certain extent.

In this case, it is quite normal for Herrscher's core to gradually merge with his body.

But now...

The core of reason was "borrowed" by the Herrscher, leaving Bronya with only an "empty shell" of the core of reason.

Under such circumstances, Bronya saw the reverberation of consciousness left by Joyce.

"What you see is the reverberation of consciousness left by Joyce."

Bronya didn't answer, waiting for Walter to continue explaining.

Walter decided to let go of the existing doubts first, and solve Bronya's question about the reverberation of the core consciousness of reason.

"Let's put it this way, you imagine a half-dry concrete floor—"

"The ones you see are the footprints of people who walked on this concrete floor."

"Although these footprints look lifelike inside, it is not a living person after all. People who step on it are... dead."

Bronya felt the heaviness in Walter's heart, and Joyce was a life mentor to Walter.

Mentioning the deceased mentor, Walter couldn't help feeling sad.

"Cough." Walter made a noise.

These sorrows should not be shared by Bronya, so he joked: "When I leave one day, maybe you will also dream of me in your dreams one day."

Bronya pursed her lips and said nothing.

Walter would be sad because of Joyce's departure, and Bronya would naturally be sad because of Walter's departure.

"This joke of yours is a rotten one."

Einstein didn't know when the two approached, and after hearing their conversation, he ruthlessly satirized Walter.

Walter sneered, she was really not good at making jokes.

Einstein walked up to Bronya and said, "Since you can see the reverberation left by Joyce, it means that your connection with the core of reason is getting closer and closer."

"What the Herrscher takes away is the right to 'use', and you are the master of the core."

"According to my speculation, this situation represents several possibilities."

"First, the power that dominates the Herrscher is not enough for her to 'borrow' the power of the core of reason."

"Second, the core of reason is instinctively resisting the power that governs the Herrscher, so Bronya will see... see the reverberation."

"The third point is that Bronya's power has affected the core of reason."

Bronya raised her head suddenly and asked, "More than half of my strength has been..."

"But the Herrscher is always just a depriver." Einstein said: "We have seen such an example once."

Bronya's eyes widened again because of surprise, "You...have seen it once?"

Walter nodded and said, "Yes, although the situation this time is different from the previous one, it can be used as a reference."

"Yeah." Einstein also agreed: "That's what happened during the second collapse."

"In order to defeat the Herrscher of the Sky, Leader Walter implemented a very bold plan, which was to completely hand over the core to the Herrscher of the Sky."

"The Second Herrscher is a very powerful Herrscher, there is no doubt about this." Einstein said: "She obtained the Houkai energy sealed on the moon in the last era, so together with her own core, she fully grasped five cores."

"Together with the core of reason, there are six." Walter said with emotion: "It was really thrilling at the time."

After all, Walter's body died once at that time, thanks to the consciousness hidden in the core of reason.

"Now you are very similar to what Walter encountered back then, but the Herrscher of the Sky has the ability to completely suppress the consciousness left in the core of the Herrscher, but the Herrscher of the Dominator does not have this strength at all."

"Now you can feel the reverberation in the core, which means that the next action to dominate the Herrscher is coming soon." Einstein said.

Bronya nodded and said: "Bronya understands, the consciousness in the core of reason is very powerful, so even if the Herrscher is borrowing it, Bronya can still feel the inner reverberation."

Walter thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It can be understood in this way, but it can't be completely understood in this way."

"The connection between you and the core of reason is that you have been recognized by the core of reason. The fusion with the core of reason is also because you persist in exercising."

"So, Bronya's power... is coming back soon?"

Einstein shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, I can only say it's possible."

"But even if it is possible, we have to be prepared in advance, so we can't be caught off guard by the Herrscher."
