At the same time, the viewers in the real world also said they were scared pee-less by Mihoyo's dramatic gasp.
But still, some people said that, based on their understanding of Mihoyo's writing, there would definitely be another twist later, another big stab.
After calming down, Kiana and the others also began thinking about how to break the current deadlock.
They had originally prepared themselves for a difficult battle.
But who would've thought, Memory Van seemed to have changed personality. Not only did he not attack them, but instead began explaining the current situation to Kiana and the others.
"Before long, this cathedral will become the starting point of a change in the world."
"So, for your own safety, it's best that you don't act rashly."
Before his words even fell, a curtain of golden light suddenly descended, enveloping the cathedral before them.
"Oh? Looks like Otto's preparations are almost complete? Then our task here also comes to a temporary end."
After saying this, Memory Van planted the Black Abyss White Flower into the ground, then prepared to enter the portal with Cheng Lixue.
Seeing this, Kiana instinctively wanted to stop the two from leaving.
But her rational mind told her that the more important matter now was stopping Otto's scheme.
After the two left, Kiana and the others approached the light curtain.
Looking at the golden screen before her, Kiana instantly felt a strong sense of danger.
Before she could even speak, Ivana had already exclaimed, "This... impossible! That guy Otto... actually became a Herrscher of Binding?!"
Ivana's exclamation naturally drew Kiana's alertness.
In Kiana's impression, Ivana, who possessed part of Van's memory, was someone who rarely showed such an expression.
After that, Kiana learned from Ivana about the Binding disaster that had happened in the previous civilization.
Upon learning that most of the MANTIS fusion warriors in the previous era had died at the hands of the Herrscher of Binding, Kiana took a deep breath.
Because even she, usually optimistic, felt a deep sense of helplessness.
At this moment, Bronya and others also arrived on the scene.
Kiana explained the situation from beginning to end to everyone.
In order to break the light screen created by the Binding Authority, Einstein and the others decided to use the Moonlight Throne on the Hyperion to launch an attack on the screen.
As expected by Einstein, the light screen was indeed blasted open a gap.
But everyone quickly discovered that the opening in the screen was healing at a terrifying speed.
Although the result was disheartening, at least it wasn't for nothing.
Because during this process, the scientists of Anti-Entropy, led by Einstein and Tesla, calculated the energy threshold required to shatter the screen.
But the next problem came, the threshold to destroy the screen far exceeded the power output of the Moonlight Throne.
While everyone was at a loss, Bronya, as the Herrscher of Reason, decided to take a risk.
Accompanied by stirring music, Bronya began mental synchronization with the core of the Herrscher of Reason inside her.
During this process, Bronya saw in the depths of the core the first Herrscher of Reason who had fought for humanity in the previous civilization, Welt Joyce.
And she also gained the approval of the 300,000 collective thoughts deep within the core.
After that, Bronya suddenly felt an unmatched power erupting from the Herrscher core inside her.
"One person's power may not be strong enough."
"Three hundred thousand thoughts may not be rich enough."
"But the Bronya of this moment is the true Herrscher of Reason."
"Bronya shall represent humanity's civilization to challenge the Honkai!"
With Bronya's resolute words, the Herrscher of Reason's core began frantically releasing massive energy.
Immediately after, six Moonlight Throne cannons manifested out of thin air and, under Bronya's control, blasted and shattered the light screen created by the Binding Authority.
But before anyone could cheer, Bronya had already collapsed from physical overload, her body and mind nearly completely exhausted.
Seele, standing beside her, could even feel Bronya's breath weakening, as if her soul was about to disperse.
While everyone was at a loss, Dark Seele suddenly spoke, "Seele, let me do it! Isn't there something right next to you that can save Bronya?"
Seele followed Dark Seele's direction and looked, it was the Black Abyss White Flower planted in the ground by Memory Van when he left.
"Other me, are you talking about the Black Abyss White Flower?" Seele asked in confusion. "But… we have no idea how to use it?"
To this, Dark Seele said she felt a strange familiarity with the Black Abyss White Flower. Maybe… she originally knew how to use it.
———
Seeing this, the bullet comments all agreed this was definitely another deep pit dug by Mihoyo.
[Wait, isn't the Black Abyss White Flower a divine key made from the Herrscher of Death's core? So does this mean Dark Seele is connected to the Herrscher of Death?]
[Highly possible! Could it be that later on, Dark Seele will become the Herrscher of Death?!]
[Is this another massive knife Mihoyo planted in advance??]

[Back to the Video]
With the help of the Black Abyss White Flower, Bronya was successfully saved.
Because of the huge expenditure, Dark Seele felt like she was about to fall into sleep.
But just before she lost consciousness, a fiery red light suddenly flashed from her chest.
Next, Dark Seele felt a wave of heat flow into her body, dispelling the exhaustion deep within her soul.
Looking at the now dull feather in her hand, Dark Seele fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, anxious cries interrupted her thoughts.
It turned out Seele, seeing that she hadn't responded for a long time, thought something had happened to her.
To this, Dark Seele forcefully suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth and responded with her usual tsundere attitude, "Tch... So noisy. I'm fine."
Hearing her reply, Seele finally let out a breath of relief.
"Ah… You scared me to death. I thought you…"
"I'm not as fragile as you think. Just now I was only..."
At this point, Dark Seele paused and subconsciously looked at the feather in her hand.
"I just suddenly felt a little tired."
Seele, "Anyway… I'm glad you're okay."
Hearing this, Dark Seele seemed to think of something, and her tone became playful.
"Say, weren't you pretty anxious just now~?"
Without thinking, Seele responded, "Of course I was! You can't scare me like that again!"
Hearing Seele's reply, Dark Seele froze completely.
She originally just wanted to tease Seele a little, but unexpectedly, she herself got completely flustered by this innocent girl.
Seeing Dark Seele not replying, Seele continued to ask, "Did you hear me, Seele?"
Facing such a serious Seele, Dark Seele held her forehead helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, yes yes yes, I'm the obedient Seele~ From now on I'll listen to everything you say~"
This sweet moment instantly made people in the real world feel warm, and even made them feel a little unreal.
After all… this is Honkai Impact 3rd!
