"Your eyes are filled with surprise, sadness, and hatred, just like mine in the past."
“Ah…she must be a very important person to you.” Walter’s voice trembled slightly. “Very good, remember this moment.”
"Hatred, confusion, despair—these are the pillars of everything, the purest and most powerful forces."
"Why...why do such a thing?"
"Because this is my mission."
"Hehehe, actually, you're not bad either, boss!"
"Dr. Tesla, your face is very red right now, and the test data shows that your body temperature is also rising rapidly," Einstein said expressionlessly.
"Shut up, you 'bird's nest hair' guy!!!"
Tesla hurriedly covered his face and ran out of the laboratory.
"The being known as the Fool... is indeed very good at teasing others."
Einstein's flat, monotone voice echoed in the laboratory.
"The man named Walter Joyce entrusted it to me with great care in 1955."
"1955... is the year Anti-Entropy was founded."
“No, that was the day Anti-Entropy was destroyed,” Walter refuted Bronya’s statement.
"Walter Joyce, Liesel Albert Einstein, Frederica Nikolaus Tesla, Emma Planck, Erwin Schrödinger..."
“I remember each of their names. Because remembering them is the only thing I can do.”
“They were killed one by one by the Valkyries of Destiny before my eyes, while I could only flee in disgrace.”
"...like a fearful and weak beast."
His tone was very calm, as if he were telling a story unrelated to himself. But beneath that calmness lay a chilling terror.
"Anti-entropy... destroyed...?" Bronya asked incredulously.
"In every dark night when I can't see the light, I dream of that man."
He lay in a pool of blood, entrusting his name and the Herrscher core to me, over and over again.
"In the end, I returned, in his name, to fulfill his promise to fight for humanity."
"Destroying destiny, is this what you call fighting for humanity?" Bronya struggled to raise her hand, pointing her weapon at Welt. "What a joke! You're just repeating the history of Anti-Entropy's destruction. What you've done is no different from what those who ruined your life did!"
"The founders of Anti-Entropy would never entrust you with such a mission...!"
Poor Scott at this moment had no idea that in the near future he would encounter the person he hated most in his life...
"Hmph, you're right, they are all gentle yet strong people."
"Even if fate takes everything away from them, they can put aside their hatred and continue to fight for their ideals."
"—So, they paid the price."
Welt Yang pulled off his glasses, and the power of the Herrscher began to surge, his crimson eyes filled only with hatred and madness.
"Power, belonging, ideals—when I inherited the name of Walter, I also gained everything that man had."
"But... there's nothing of my own under this name. I'm just playing the role of a shadow that's been dead for many years."
"...But why should I play the role of a failed shadow...?" His tone gradually became more assertive.
Blood splattered from the man's body; his mangled form could no longer support him in using the power of the Herrscher.
"That's right, I killed the Herrscher of the Void and saved the world!" He had long forgotten the pain.
Now, he is going to announce his success to the world!
"I've done what that man couldn't do; I've surpassed him...!"
"...You're insane!"
"I'm not crazy, I've conquered the world...!"
They defeated... Walter!
A flash of red light appeared, and a colossal steel beast descended beside the Herrscher. He gazed arrogantly at the Valkyrie before him, his murky eyes filled only with madness.
"This is my own strength, my own destiny, my own ideal..."
"This...is the real me!"
On the Star Train, Walter covered his face tightly with his hands.
How could I have forgotten about this part?!
Chapter 45 An Incredibly Strong Face
You chose a name that sounds like "Earth's dirty mouth"!
Walter almost couldn't help but swear at Tesla.
Having calmed down, Walter slowly walked towards the party carriage.
"As expected, it's better to format a database that's kept quiet."
The armored vehicle collapsed amidst the flames, and the Herrscher's body was already riddled with holes from the backlash of the power.
"That's enough, kneel down!"
The crimson Star of Eden floated in his palm, and the gravitational wave slammed towards Bronya like an invisible giant hand.
"You have no right to judge me! I killed someone important to you, and you hate me too. What's the difference between you and me!"
But the Valkyrie continues her journey.
“Bronya doesn’t hate you, she just thinks you’re pitiful and pathetic.” Her tone was full of pity for the Herrscher before her, and she looked directly into Welt’s eyes. “In your eyes, Bronya can only see fear and cowardice.”
"Cowardly? What a joke! I'm stronger than anyone else!"
“You’re not strong at all. Bronya has seen people much stronger than you.” She paused. “Even when disaster strikes, she can face it with courage…”
Even if despair blots out the sun, she will fight back with her will...
“She was just a mortal. Bronya knew her confusion, her bewilderment, the pain and sorrow she had endured along the way…”
"But Bronya also knew that no matter how far she went, she would still uphold her responsibilities..."
"...She remains the hero who protected hope!"
Bronya spoke at length, and finally, dragging her wounded body, she came before "Walter" and told him the most truthful and cruel reality:
"...You are not worthy of the name 'Walter' at all!"
"Shut up! You know nothing about Walter...you know absolutely nothing about me!" The Star of Eden appeared in his hand. "Star of Eden, tear her to pieces...!"
However, the trembling sphere did not respond to his call; it fell down as if it had lost control.
As if drawn by the girl's hands, it landed in front of Bronya.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but recall the moment he inherited the position of general.
It brought him not only immense glory, but also an incomparably heavy responsibility.
720 years have passed... Time really flies.
Although that does look really cool...
Having survived the trials of three worlds, Bronya successfully inherited the core of the Herrscher of Reason and became the third substitute Herrscher.
Having fully integrated with the Herrscher core, she heard Welt's voice once again.
Walter sensed that the barrier he had created was weakening.
The power that yearns for the gem is constantly squeezing the barrier.
In order to find the coveted gem before the snake does, they must act quickly!
“Go, Bronya. My power is scattered throughout the various world bubbles; collecting them will make the core stronger.”
And so, in search of Seele and the Gem of Desire, Bronya entered the Sea of Quanta.
In the boundless sea of quantum mechanics, stands a "cherry blossom tree".
Under the tree, a white-haired man was speaking to a young girl.
"Seele, get away from that person!"
With the roar of an engine tearing through space, Bronya hurtled down from the sky, blocking their path.
After confirming Seele's safety, Bronya asked Welt inside the core, "Mr. Welt, is that man 'The Serpent'?"
“This is also the first time I’ve seen his true form,” Walter’s voice echoed in her mind. “But his aura is undoubtedly that of the ‘serpent’ I sensed in the Sea of Quanta.”
However, what neither Walter nor Bronya expected was that "Snake" saw right through them.
"We meet again, Herrscher of Reason, and... his successor."
Distant memories surfaced in my mind; the image of that man was a memory that even the void could not erase.
The white-haired demon is also very strong.

"I initially thought you were an apostle of the Honkai, but in that labyrinth, I saw your past." Kevin's tone was indifferent, but he affirmed Welt's will.
"Your will is not a disguise. As a Herrscher, you are indeed fighting for humanity."
"So I helped that girl, hoping she would bring you to me."
"Fighting against the Honkai is our common mission, and I have no intention of being your enemy."
"Sweet talk, we won't let you leave here!" Bronya, now a Herrscher, was confident that she could once again trap the snake in this sea with her power.
"Can you stop me?"
Faced with Bronya's threat, Kevin's words sounded more like a statement than a question.
He didn't think that a mere Lawyer could stop him.
A black tide erupted from the cracks, obscuring the man's figure. It spread and writh in the air, like an invisible monster.
In contrast, the energy in the space continued to gather and surge into Kevin's palm, transforming into a green gem.
"That's... the Gem of Desire!"
“For the past 1500 years, the Honkai has raged on, and I have been trapped in the memories of the past, powerless to do anything about it,” Kevin continued. “But now, the time for the serpent to return has come.”
"Whether you accept it or not, I will fulfill the duties I am obligated to perform!"
Yes, he personally put it back after learning some key information from his future self, although he couldn't stop him if he wanted to force his way in.
Yang Chaoyue's lines should really be revised...
Azure cannon fire bombarded the space, tearing the churning quantum shadows to shreds.
Bronya rode in her vehicle, soaring through the raging tide of shadows, and charged straight toward the white-haired man.
However, things didn't go as planned.
The Herrscher Core detached uncontrollably from her body and flew into Kevin's hand.
"Bronya Zajcek."
“You’ve traversed countless world bubbles, carrying an immense burden, to get here.” Kevin calmly recounted Bronya’s experiences and told her, “Your body can no longer keep up with your will.”
Noticing something, Kevin turned his gaze to his side in confusion.
Someone who hadn't expected to appear suddenly appeared and firmly grasped Kevin's arm.
Walter Young.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on her...!"
Walter lunged for the coveted gem, but was blasted away by an invisible force.
Even though I didn't see the opponent's attack, the sudden impact struck every corner of my body—just like when Bronya was knocked down.
"To protect that girl, you reconstructed your physical body using the power of the Herrscher of Reason? Your power has also grown."
