Something is wrong.

Along with Marco's scream, the painful cry also echoed in Agnes' office. A deformed monster with a hideous face slowly walked out of Agnes' office carrying his huge and bloated body.

, the breath of despair instantly spread in the surrounding air.

He looked at this proud work and laughed loudly again. He also sneered at Marco, who had been transformed into this appearance by him, and said: "This is of your own free will, I did not ask you to become

It looks like this."

Second World - Destiny - Maitreya City

After the "Despair Celestial Resurrection" incident, the whole world was once again plunged into panic. Not only was the virus called the "Despair Plague" brought by Vasco da Gama, but also the human beings who had experienced the Honkai Era.

Once again, I felt distrustful of the Destiny Organization.

The losses within Tianming were also heavy. After trying her best to control the plague infection in the city of Mileya, Teresa decided to activate emergency measures in the floating city of Mileya, open the underground city, and transfer all the people who were still alive there. After

In the last emergency meeting of the A-level Valkyries, the main goal now was not to solve the subsequent disasters caused by Vasco da Gama, but to prioritize finding those who survived the great plague.

Two days after Rin was brought back to his destiny by Alicia, he was even more depressed than before and had no fighting spirit at all. In the underground city of Maitreya, in his new dormitory, he locked himself tightly in the door.

, despite the calls of his companions, he still stayed behind closed doors.

It has been like this almost every day since he came back. Today, Yu Linqi still asked him to go downstairs for dinner, but he still said that he was not hungry yet and asked Linqi to leave him alone. Obviously, Lin was sick, and he had to

The disease is not a "physical" disease, but a "mental disease".

It is said that heart disease is difficult to cure, and Lin was also in this situation at this time. Lin Qi was very worried about him, and also said to Bronya: "Take him to see a psychiatrist, captain, if this continues, Ah

Rin might..."

"No need." Bronya answered her. "I know he may still be a little concerned about what happened a few days ago. After he thinks about it clearly, he will come out on his own."

Bronya was wearing a kitchen apron. Today she cooked a table full of pretty good lunch for her team members. Ritter, Freya and Linqi, after learning that Rin said that she was not hungry,

, and the meal began.

After the da Gama incident, everyone in Tianming was panic-stricken. After learning the news that da Gama had been temporarily eliminated, they still expressed concern about the future. After all, the plague began to spread all over the world, and every day

A large number of ordinary people have transformed into Honkai aberrations. Although Vasco da Gama seems to have been suppressed, its subsequent effects still exist.

The one who suffered the biggest blow was Rin. In his subconscious, all this was caused by his lack of firm will. After experiencing the death of his friends and the cruelty of the truth, he no longer had the desire to fight, and so did he.

This was the first time he experienced this kind of thing. He just celebrated his 21st birthday this year, and he couldn't accept it at all.

"Is he okay? He hasn't been out for two days, why don't we break in and see what's wrong with him." Freya suggested to everyone.

But Bronya still said that Rin needed time to think clearly. After all, it had been almost a year since he came to Destiny, and it was the first time that Rin had experienced so many cruel things, which was difficult for him to accept.

Just as they continued to discuss how to cheer up Rin, he opened the door to his room and walked down the stairs tremblingly. At this time, Rin's hair was messy, and even the whites of his eyes were dirty.

There were bloodshot stains visible to the naked eye, making him look like someone crawling out of a grave.

Bronya knew that he had been secretly wiping his nose and wiping his tears in his room these days. For Rin, compared to knowing that he was an ancient species of Gamma man, the death of his friend Dr. Edward was the hardest thing for him to accept.

part.

"Come over and eat, come on." Bronya motioned for Rin to sit down next to her, and stood up to get the tableware for him.

Rin didn't speak, but just waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have to worry about him. Then he silently walked to the water dispenser, took out a paper cup, and poured himself a cup of boiled water.

Seeing Rin's appearance, his captain, and his three companions, everyone felt uncomfortable. Especially Yu Linqi, who was most worried about him. For her, she wanted to see the man who drove every day.

The happy Rin is not the depressed Rin.

"After dinner, I have something to tell you."

Although Bronya knew what Rin was concerned about, she still decided to talk to Rin about his recent situation. If he continued like this, he would ruin his own life. It was not about those things about Vasco da Gama.

But himself.

After lunch, although there was only some stored emergency food, everyone still enjoyed this hard-earned meal after the disaster. Bronya asked Rin to sit across from her and began to ask him about his recent situation.

, ask him what happened that made him look like this depressed?

"You know, since you came back, everyone has been worried about your situation. Although I don't know what you are struggling with...but, as your captain, I hope to have a good talk with you."

"Sorry, I don't want to do this either."

Ever since Rin escaped death and was rescued by Alicia, his condition has been very bad. His skin has become visibly dry and his face has lost color. He has not eaten for two days.

, but he still has some energy, but his energy is not very good.

"Then don't be like this, do you understand? You look like this...your mother, Ms. Cao Liang, will be worried about you."

However, Bronya didn't realize that what she said was the real reason for his recent depression. What Rin said next shocked her, and she felt regretful in her heart.

Rin raised his head, with a look of despair in his eyes, and said to Bronya: "My mother... is dead."

"What... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this."

Bronya didn't know that the reason why Rin became abnormal during this period was not only because of the death of Dr. Edward and the truth he knew, but also the death of his relatives. Although there was also the sacrifice of Dr. Edward and his own will

The reason for not being firm, but the main reason, is the death of Ms. Cao Liang.

Because he lost his mother, Rin instantly lost the motivation to stay in Tianming. He wanted to ask Bronya for a temporary leave and return to his hometown to mourn for his dead mother for a while.

"Forgive me for refusing, Corporal Lin. You also know the situation outside... There is a plague spreading everywhere outside, and several human settlements have fallen. Do you still insist on going?"

Bronya was also worried about Rin's safety, and did not advise him to leave the underground city of Maitreya and visit his deceased family members on the ground. Rin's body began to tremble, and big tears oozed from his eyes, and he started to cry.

On his pants, he cried bitterly and said the words he wanted to leave:

"I have no reason to stay in Tianming. These are gone, Captain Bronya... I just want to make enough money and then go back to take care of my mother, but... but... me."

"I can't! The only reason why I can stay here...has been taken away."

Bronya did not speak. At this time, she also felt that her nose was a little sour. Seeing Rin who had been deprived of his cherished things due to the disaster, she seemed to recall everything before.

You know, Rin, you are not the only one who is sad. She wanted to say this, but she knew very well that everything she had experienced was just a crueler past than Rin. She endured it,

Even when reality began to become so cruel, she decided to bury her past and convey more correct ideas to Rin.

"Rin, I understand how you feel...but before you decide to take leave and leave, I want to tell you something about my past."

Those were some things that happened to Bronya during the "Era Collapse". At that time, Bronya had just experienced the "acting captain" of the Second Combat Force of Destiny, but she still did not want to return to Destiny.

Plans to serve as official troop captain.

Although Xi'er also hoped that she would stay with her in Tianming, Bronya still chose the path of running her "game studio", so Xi'er also gradually developed some prejudices against her sister.

When the "era collapse" broke out, Bronya learned that Xi'er was in a big crisis. She also rushed to Xi'er's side and used her few remaining "Herrscher of Reason" power to destroy Xi'er.

The child was teleported to a safe place.

Because of this incident, Xi'er held a grudge against Bronya for a long time. She didn't want to be a burden to Bronya's sister, and because of Bronya's over-protectiveness, Xi'er also felt that Bronya was

Ya didn't trust her very much, so after Bronya decided to return to Destiny, her attitude towards her became extremely bad.

However, even if Bronya didn't do this, she didn't want to see Seele die when the Era Collapse occurred. Although the "civilization gap" phenomenon also occurred after that, Bronya still still

Remember those things, those things when the era collapsed.

Bronya lost all her Herrscher powers and briefly explained her past as the "Herrcher of Reason". After saying this, she summarized it and told it to Rin.

"Rin, now that what has happened, as warriors, we must give up the shackles of the past and think about how to protect the cherished things in front of us... Even if you are an ordinary person, you must become strong, Ms. Cao Liang

Death is inevitable, so you should continue to fight for the living people."

Although Rin could not empathize with what Bronya had experienced, he knew that if he wanted to protect everything, he must become stronger than before. He was just an ordinary person who wanted to work well and make money, but he learned that

Such a cruel truth.

It would be great if he, like Bronya, could gain the power of the Herrscher and gain the power to fight Vasco da Gama. This is what he thought at this time.

Bronya didn't know if her comfort had any effect, but at this time, Rin gradually realized that he was not an ordinary person. He longed for powerful power, the power to protect everything and save everyone around him.

Therefore, I also made up my mind to continue to find "Sister Alicia" to understand everything about myself.

And the true body of the "Herrscher of Despair" is enjoying everything in front of her in the Collapse Empire created by the new Arcadia technology.

Agnes stood on the highest rooftop of the building, looking down at the countless Honkai aberration creatures at his feet. At this moment, those monsters seemed to be an army he had cultivated to provide him with supplies in this devastated world.

Just a little fun.

He transformed the only two remaining members of the Polaris Alliance, Marco and Blanche, into hideous monsters. They were thrown into the city of York where monsters were spreading, and they enjoyed the pleasure of hunting living people with the aberrations.

.

Although there were not many living people here, he still wanted to hear the desperate cries of these people before they died. Therefore, he also showed a very happy expression, enjoying the rust rain under the blood-red sky.

Feel the disgusting smell of rust and blood as it drips onto your body.

"Human beings are really despicable creatures... They clearly know that they have various flaws, but they are so ignorant that they do not accept evolution. It is really a pity."

"The civilization you have created is far less than one-tenth of that created by our 'Ten Heavenly Saints'. I can be both the creator and the destroyer of civilization. I thought you would be able to survive without me.

What a splendid civilization can be created."

"I am the first of the 'Ten Heavenly Saints', known as the ancestor of the 'Gama people' civilization, 'Gama of Despair'. I am a real god... You must be aware, you despicable insects.

They."

At this moment, a masked man in black whistling appeared behind him and said something like this to Agnes:
To be continued...
