Not to mention Seele and the Silvermane Guards.
Even Bronya herself was completely stunned!
Her mind felt like it was buzzing!
Did it really become reality?
Unbelievable!
Reaching out,
She touched it.
This unique Metal texture!
Unlike the highly sci-fi feel of Bronya's ride in the video, her own vehicle was more retro overall.
There were even golden patterns on the body.
She even saw Rand's family crest!
This,
Was truly something she had constructed!
Those subtitles,
Were real!
This was the "reward" bestowed by Yu Ling!
Realizing this,
Bronya took a deep breath.
At this point,
Let her try to harness this power!
Although she hadn't ridden such a vehicle much, the moment she gripped the handlebars, she felt a sense of connection!
With a flip,
She mounted the motorcycle.
"Leave it to me."
"Next, it's my turn to protect you."
Cold Flare ignited on the bike's wings!
Like a storm of ice and snow intertwined.
Seeing such a strange sight,
The Silvermane Guards involuntarily stepped aside.
Seele felt her mouth go dry: "Are... are you sure you want to ride this thing out there?"
Bronya opened her eyes.
"I already know how to use this kind of vehicle."
"Trust me!"
"Hmm..."
Seven or eight monsters had already blocked the cave entrance.
The moment Seele stepped aside,
The tires, spinning rapidly, scraped sparks from the ground!
"In the name of the Supreme Guardian, charge!"
"Vroom—!!"
Instantly transforming into a streak of eerie light!
The monsters, as if made of tofu dregs, were utterly annihilated!
Only scattered blue Flare remained at the cave entrance.
Seele and the others quickly looked outside!
It was fine not looking,
But seeing it made them question reality!
They saw Bronya riding her vehicle, like a tiger among sheep, charging recklessly!
Whether it was mountains or ice spikes, whether there was a path or not, she drove through it all!
On the paths she sped past,
That blue Flare was left behind.
If a monster was touched even slightly, it would immediately be burned to ashes!
Like a holy, eerie light, rapidly cleansing the darkness and evil from this space!
After a few dozen seconds,
All the monsters in the entire space had vanished without a trace!
After a spin in the air, Bronya returned to the cave where everyone was, as if having completed her mission.
While in the air,
Her vehicle began to fade, disappearing the next moment and reverting to Bronya's rifle.
All the Flare in the space also turned into particles and vanished.
With a roll on the ground, she dissipated most of the force.
Bronya stood up.
Examining her rifle!
Her eyes still filled with disbelief!
Everyone immediately crowded around!
"Supreme Guardian, you're too fierce!"
"Lady Bronya, have you awakened a hidden power?"
"By Qlipoth! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I'd never believe any of this!"
Bronya lightly licked her lips.
Not just you all,
Even I don't believe it!
Even now, everything still feels like a dream!
If not for the cool currents surging through my body, I would have doubted whether I was dreaming.
Had I just become the guardian deity of a planet?
The power I now possessed could single-handedly take on a thousand foes!
Even the rift creatures and Antimatter Legion before us could be shattered by a single person!
Do you believe it?
After all, Bronya was a leader,
forcing down her own shock!
She said to everyone, "Take a look at the new video 'Angel's Rebuild' that Yu Ling posted. You'll understand after watching it."
Five minutes later.
Everyone seemed to jolt awake.
Their expressions varied!
"It's Yu Ling! It must have been Yu Ling!"
"Does that mean... our Lady Bronya gained the power of her other self from that world after watching the video!?"
"I told you we should trust Yu Ling! I knew it would bring a turning point to the current situation, but I never expected... the change would be this huge!"
"Forget believing in Aeons, I'll just believe in Yu Ling from now on!"
Bronya walked to the edge of the cave entrance.
Admiring her own "masterpiece" before her.
The space in front of her resembled butter that had been violently stirred, still retaining neat, swirling spiral marks.
But all those monsters had completely vanished.
Seele swallowed hard.
"Um, Bronya..."
"Can you... use that kind of power again?"
Bronya closed her eyes, as if sensing something.
Then,
nodded.
"I think so."
"And..."
"I feel like I only used less than half of its strength."
Hearing this,
Seele swallowed hard again!
She took a sharp breath!
After a long moment,
she finally exclaimed:
"Ever since coming into contact with Honkai: Star Rail, I've realized just how vast the outside world is."
"If our Belobog hadn't been fortunate enough to become part of the story, even if we perished, we'd probably be nothing more than a tiny spark in the universe."
"Actually... I've often had trouble sleeping because I felt how weak we were."
"But now... heh, now it's different!"
"You've become so strong. When we eventually connect with the wider universe, we'll have much more confidence!"
"Oh, I have one small request."
Seele's fervent gaze suddenly turned toward Bronya, catching her slightly off guard.
"Uh..."
"What is it? Go ahead."
Seele leaned closer.
Seeming to realize her request might be a bit presumptuous.
"When your power recovers, could you summon that motorcycle again and... take me for a ride?"
"...Of course, that's no problem."
...
Temporary camp, before the cliff.
Sampo, Gepard, and many other players who had come to assist were all suited up in rescue gear.
Ready to descend the cliff via zip lines.
Guinaifen wore a thick, padded coat, her small face flushed—whether from the heat or excitement was unclear.
She was currently livestreaming to her camera.
"Everyone in the livestream, as you can see,"
"The rescue team is fully prepared!"
"We have familiar faces like our dear Sampo and Gepard, but even more are enthusiastic players who came after hearing the news."
"Little Gui here has to give a huge shoutout to our Star Rail players!"
Inside the livestream,
the chat was very active!
...
"I just finished watching Angel's Rebuild—it was so cool!"
"'Seele, Bronya has come for you'"
"I get it now! Yu Ling released the short at this exact moment to make Seele and Bronya active in the universe, drawing players' attention to their current situation, which in turn attracted all these willing helpers to rescue them!"
"So that's how it is! Yu Ling, he really... I'm moved to tears!"
"However, Yu Ling has always been the type to directly create explosive situations. This roundabout way of saving the day feels a bit unlike his style?"
"Some haters were saying Yu Ling pays no attention to reality, I really can't stop laughing."
"I'm speechless, what era is this, and people are still questioning Yu Ling's authority?"
"I'll just shove this short film right in their face!"
"I hope this rescue mission succeeds! I want to know Bronya and Seele's reactions after seeing this short film!"
