Zofia's face gradually stiffened, "HQ says... the mission is canceled."
Matilla froze for a moment, then asked, "And the transfer...?"
Zofia handed the tablet to Matilla and said, "Still just Susannah alone..."
Matilla couldn't hold it in anymore, "...."
Hearing that she was to be sent alone again, Susannah threw herself onto the ground, flailing and wailing,
"I'm not going! No way I'm going! I don't want to clean the library again!"
Zofia, "....."
-----------------------------
Kiana, 〈So that means Wendy can return to St. Freya?!〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈That's right.〉
Wendy, 〈Sister Bronya, I'll be able to see you soon.〉
Bronya, 〈Wendy, I'll be waiting for you at St. Freya Academy.〉
"Congratulations to Miss Wendy for gaining her freedom." Fu Lin smiled knowingly, then took out a card from his pocket and read aloud, "Happy times pass in the blink of an eye, this live broadcast is also coming to an end..."
Kiana, 〈It's ending so soon? I haven't even gotten my reward yet!〉
"Hahaha, not yet, there's only one last question left. I just got a bit sentimental. Let's continue, let's continue."
Fu Lin gave an awkward laugh, tore up the card in his hand, tapped the air, and began playing the next video.
[In the video, Bronya, in her Black Duck form, is sitting on the ground, holding her forehead with a dazed expression, mumbling to herself,
"Bronya... what happened...?"
The camera shifts, revealing Welt hidden in the shadows behind Bronya.
Welt is wearing black-framed glasses, a deep teal scarf, a white turtleneck sweater, and a long gray coat, with his hands in his pockets as he walks toward Bronya.
"Ah!!"
As Bronya let out a startled cry, memories gradually resurfaced. She scratched her head and muttered to herself, "Seele... where is Seele?"
Welt stopped walking, looked at the mumbling Bronya, and said coldly, "You can still think? Hmph, how interesting."
"Congratulations, Valkyrie. You survived the Second Eruption."]
Kiana, 〈The Second Eruption... does that mean Bronya went back to the past?〉
Mei, 〈That would be really dangerous...〉
Tesla, 〈Joachim, why have you become so cold?〉
[Sit-up's King] Welt, 〈...That's not me in the video, just keep watching.〉
Einstein, 〈This should be the time before Bronya became the Herrscher of Reason. Is the Leader testing Bronya...?〉
[Sit-up's King] Welt, 〈If you're handing over the Herrscher of Reason's core to someone else, it makes sense to test them. I'm also a bit curious about what happens next.〉
Fu Lin chuckled and said, "What happens next? Isn't it that Duck gets her license revoked?"
Bronya, 〈Host, stop bringing up the license joke!!!〉
[Welt, looking indifferent, said, "I don't know who this 'Seele' you're talking about is, but it doesn't matter. You were the only one who survived."]
Bronya's expression changed drastically, unable to accept the heavy news, she asked again, "...What did you say!"
Welt took his hands out of his pockets, spread them slowly with an indifferent expression, and said flatly, "Whether it was the Valkyries at the frontlines or the rear support personnel,"
"Everyone is dead."
Then, he dropped a bombshell that shocked everyone, "I destroyed Schicksal."
Everyone stared at Welt on the screen, their mouths slowly falling open, 〈!!!〉
Bronya, 〈Seele... is gone?!〉
Seele (White), 〈Sister Bronya, Seele is still here...〉
Himeko, 〈Schicksal is gone?〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Grandpa's Schicksal is just... gone?〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Hahahaha, how interesting.〉
Durandal, 〈Bishop, how can you still laugh when Schicksal has been destroyed.〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Relax, it's just Schicksal in a bubble world.〉
[Bronya clenched her teeth, her hands gripping the ground, her eyes filled with two parts surprise, three parts sadness, and four parts hatred, staring at Welt, shouting hoarsely,
"You killed them... you killed Seele...!"]
Welt crossed his arms, looking down at the Bronya on the ground, and said, "Your eyes are full of surprise, sadness, and hatred, just like mine in the past."
Then Welt sighed deeply, his gaze softening with a hint of compassion, and said, "Ah... she must have been a very important person to you. Good. Remember this moment."
"Hatred, confusion, despair — these are the pillars of everything, the purest and strongest power."
As he spoke, a trace of madness and longing for power flashed through Welt's eyes.
Bronya, "Why... why would you do something like this?"
"Because this is my mission." Welt exhaled deeply and explained heavily, "That man named Welt Joyce entrusted it to me with great care in 1955."
Kiana, 〈Joyce... that name sounds so familiar.〉
Mei, 〈Kiana, did you forget? The young master of Schicksal, Otto's clone, only he was called Joyce Apocalypse.〉
Bronya, 〈Seems like the Bishop of Schicksal has a special fondness for the name Joyce.〉
[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈Actually...〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈@Grandpa Otto, when will you let little Joyce come play?〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Of course, no problem.〉
Otto curled his lips into a smile. If possible, he really wanted to see what expression Welt would make right now — it must be spectacular.
[Sit-up's King] Welt, 〈???〉
[Sit-up's King] Welt, 〈Otto!!!〉
Welt's face alternated between green and purple, his fists clenched so tightly that the bulging veins were clearly visible, his heart itching to leave the Sea of Quanta right then and there to unleash a full-powered Eden's Star strike on Otto at Schicksal.
The aura emanating from Welt made even Kevin in the distance stop slurping his noodles and cast a curious glance his way.
Einstein, 〈....〉
Tesla, 〈Damn Otto, you never change your rotten ways. I *bleep* you, you *bleeping* *bleep*, and if you let me *bleep*, I'll *bleep* *bleep* *bleep*.〉
Himeko, 〈People from Anti-Entropy really have no manners.〉
Elysia, 〈Looks like the Archbishop of Schicksal did something quite outrageous in the past.〉
"Haha, looks like a lot of interesting things happened while I was away. Can someone explain it to me?" Fu Lin picked up a slice of watermelon, eyes sparkling with gossip.
Fu Shi burst into laughter and secretly used voice transmission to tell Fu Lin about Otto sneaking someone from St. Freya, and before long, Fu Lin couldn't hold back and laughed out loud too.
'Hahahaha, this is a real heart-piercing move. Otto's like a panda ordering takeout — absolutely ruthless.'
'Hahaha, exactly! Especially when he said that name with such a straight face — not even a shred of hesitation, hahahaha.'
Fu Shi raised the corners of her mouth and, in order not to laugh too abruptly, thoughtfully turned off the camera for himself and Fu Lin, then pounded the table in hysteric laughter.
In the live broadcast room, as everyone listened to the sound of hands slapping the table and looked at the lower-left corner, the hosts were nowhere to be seen, and everyone's faces instantly turned black.
