This time, however, she already knew who the figure in front of her was.
Suddenly.
Countless viewers gasped in surprise.
The figure standing before Bronya was... one that the audience recognized very well!
The First Lawyer of Reason!
The hero who saved New York City—he once made Otto, the tyrant in the heavens, feel the stars shatter!
He... is Walter Joyce!
(So that's what 300,000 people are thinking...)
Bronya also noticed that those walking on this scorched earth were both shadows and not shadows. They were both fragments and not fragments.
It is the thoughts of these 300,000 people that form this unique core.
It is this unique core that has allowed the thoughts of 300,000 people to be passed down to this day.
They are not the law of reason.
But they are also all law-makers of reason.
Bronya found herself walking step by step closer to the man in the lead.
And at this time, the surroundings
"A child like us?"
"Is she yet another victim of the collapse?"
"She...inherited the Herrscher of Reason?"
"Is it her who inherited our name?"
Every step.
Countless thoughts whispered in Bronya's ear.
Bronya knew that the Core itself was asking her a question.
She was examining whether she truly deserved to inherit.
Finally, Bronya walked up to him.
This was the first time she had faced him at such close range.
Before him, that alliance leader must have also faced him face to face like this.
What was Walter Young thinking at that time?
But what was he thinking when he walked through this scorched earth even earlier?
"She is a warrior fighting against the Honkai."
"At this young age?"
"She has a strong will."
"But he also has a bit of a childish side."
ear.
Thoughts continue to whisper among themselves.
Bronya's attention returned to him.
She sensed the tenderness in his eyes, and the stubbornness beneath that tenderness.
She finally realized something.
This legendary hero was just an ordinary boy.
She had experienced that kind of ordinariness many times with Seele.
And she understood better than anyone else that it was this ordinariness that bestowed upon Seele unparalleled gentleness and strength.
This time, she felt she finally understood—what Walter's name truly meant.
Bronya knows you have doubts, and she knows why you have doubts.
“That’s right. Bronya once refused to inherit Welt’s name, believing that she was not capable of shouldering the responsibility of protecting the world.”
"But as time goes on, Bronya has come to understand one thing... The so-called world is not a cold, impersonal concept, not just a word that remains in slogans. Every living person builds their own unique world. These worlds merge with the worlds of those around them, giving birth to a larger world."
"And the world that Walter represents is the result of this process being repeated billions of times."
"No single person can ever shoulder the responsibility of protecting the world. But everyone can have the desire to protect the world."
"Wanting to protect those I care about, wanting to forge the future I desire... sometimes compromising, sometimes fighting, sometimes letting go, sometimes persevering..."
"These complexities of humanity exist within everyone, and when they intertwine—we all gain proof of what it means to be human. Walter is just a name. Bronya is just an ordinary human being."
Having said that.
Bronya's eyes were calmer than ever before.
But it was also more resolute than ever before.
That stubbornness bursting forth from gentleness.
How familiar and similar it is!
Looking around, I looked at the figure of the first Walter.
Bronya said even more firmly.
"Whether or not she inherits that name, Bronya will continue on the path that has been paved by her predecessors."
"No matter how much power she possesses, Bronya will use it to protect the world we all live in."
"Bronya...will always choose to become a Herrscher of Reason as a human...to become a small cornerstone that protects the world!"
The gentle yet resolute young man remained silent.
He simply watched Bronya quietly, listening to her heartfelt words.
That look seemed to say—[We knew from the beginning that you would eventually get here].
“She hesitated.”
"She was afraid."
"But she overcame her inner cowardice."
"Perhaps, she really can bring new hope to humanity..."
"At least, she is worthy of being another Herrscher of Reason."
"Then we should also do our best to help her."
"Never surrender to the Honkai Impact 3rd server, never bow to the gods. This is our shared belief!"
"No, no need for further explanation. She... is ready."
Whispers.
Pause at this moment.
Bronya slowly opened her mouth
“That’s right, Bronya is ready now.”
“Bronya is now determined to bear the weight of 300,000 thoughts.”
"Mental synchronization, begin!"
A moment!
To the astonishment of all the viewers!
Countless fragments of the soul, glowing with blue light, surged into Bronya's mind like a tidal wave!
These souls walked a different path than Bronya, and experienced different hesitations and doubts.
But they ultimately made the same decision as Bronya!
We've decided to protect this world that belongs to humanity!
It was this decision that made their fates intertwine with Bronya's at that moment.
The thoughts of 300,000 people.
Their very nature surged in.
They were resolute, brave, cautious, or naive—and Bronya sensed that their strength also included the power her companions had previously given her.
Lively and playful like ocean waves—that's the power of Rosalia and Lilia. Though young, they are still reliable.
As blue and clear as the sky, yet also encompassing and vast. Needless to say, this is Seele's power.
Warm and gentle as the sun, illuminating the path ahead like the moon. This is Kiana's power, and she has always guided everyone in this way.
Besides these, there were countless thoughts and ideas that filled Bronya's mind and tore at her soul.
""
Bronya let out a muffled groan.
A string of nouns flashed through her mind.
Humanity, Herrscher, Honkai, Civilization.
Peace, war, violence, warmth.
The mental anguish did not last as long as she had imagined. She gradually grasped the waves of thought and learned to stand tall like a surfer riding the tide.
She understood that it was the accumulation of countless beliefs and the sedimentation of millions of years that could converge into a fervent yet simple belief—that humanity would change the world with its own will.
The power of the Herrscher of Reason spread rapidly on the other side of the singularity at a speed Bronya could not even imagine.
Even weapons that have only been examined a few times.
Even devices whose principles are not yet fully understood.
—The full power of a healer does not concern itself with these things.
As long as the creation that serves as the goal is attainable by mortals.
Whatever miracle civilization can achieve, whatever destination civilization can reach, the law of reason can make it reappear in an instant.
[Honkai Impact 3rd - Welt: Good luck... Bronya!]
[Tesla: Is this... the Herrscher of Reason?!]
Kiana: I knew it!! Bronya, you could do it!!
[Furina: The thoughts of 300,000 people... the beliefs of 300,000 people!]
[Ayaka Kamisato: What powerful authority!!]
Ningguang: This... is a miracle!
[Black Tower: What a convenient ability...]
[Einstein: Walter Joyce also believed in you; you can do it!]
[Tesla: Go for it!! Teach Otto a lesson he won't forget!!]
Theresa: Bronya...fighting for humanity!
[Mirror Flow: The power of willpower truly can change many things...]
Otto: Ugh, that tastes awful.
And also at this moment.
Bronya's voice slowly rang out.
"The power of one person may not be strong enough."
"But at this moment, Bronya is the true Herrscher of Reason—"
"Bronya will represent human civilization in challenging the Honkai!"
"Moon Throne, construction begins with 6x power."
