People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

She took another coat from the branch office and put it on, covering her wounds and seemingly concealing the fear and cowardice in her heart.

"No matter what, the Herrscher experiment must be completed. Only in this way can we save Seele and more innocent children!"

"But how do we do it?" Bronya looked puzzled by Cocolia's insistence. "That terrifying man just now used a black hole to devour the Honkai energy of the entire Changkong City. Now, the conditions for activating the Third Herrscher no longer exist in Changkong City."

"yes……"

Cocolia did not deny Bronya's words.

Bronya wanted to say something more when she saw this.

Unexpectedly, Cocolia raised her hand and slowly said, "To tell you the truth, we are not the only ones who want to complete this Herrscher experiment. On the contrary, from the very beginning, another force has been involved."

"Another force?"

Bronya and her two sisters all looked confused.

Cocolia slowly took out her communicator and spoke into the other end, "You will keep your promise to us, right? Grey Serpent."

"Haha, of course."

Gray Snake's voice came through the communicator, sounding like a ghost lurking in the shadows, or a venomous snake hiding in the dark.

Facing the three children's stares, Cocolia slowly began, "We're not the only ones who want to complete this Herrscher experiment; there's also an organization called World Serpent. From the beginning, we've reached a certain level of cooperation, and now it's time for that cooperation to officially begin."

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"Grey Serpent will assist us in officially awakening Raiden Mei's Herrscher power. What we need to do is, at that time, completely take down the Herrscher of Thunder, the best experimental subject!"

Cocolia gritted her teeth and said, "Bronya, immediately mobilize all the Titan mechs that can be mobilized to Changkong City. It's time for a do-or-die battle!"

"This……"

Bronya hesitated, realizing that Cocolia's actions were nothing short of insane.

She recalled Ron's words and his actions in saving Changkong City, and then she recalled the disgusting mistakes she had made so far. An indescribable sense of regret erupted in her heart.

At this moment, Bronya fully realized the mistake she had made and made a firm decision.

……

Meanwhile, Ron gazed at the spotless city from a high-rise building in Changkong City, having completely absorbed all the Honkai energy in that instant.

"System, is the main quest complete?"

The main mission this time is to resolve the crisis of the Third Herrscher. Although the job missions are still not completed, if we only consider the main missions, it should be considered completely resolved by now.

[Completion: 50%]

[Note: The mission is not yet complete; comrades must continue their efforts!]

"Is it not over yet...?"

Upon hearing the system's feedback, Ron frowned slightly, vaguely realizing that some kind of crisis still lurked in the city.

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Old Friends of the World Serpent!

Through the system's feedback, Ron realized that the crisis in Changkong City was not over yet.

Although he had brought Raiden Mei to a safe place and used the black hole to absorb all the Honkai energy in the entire Changkong City, there was still some kind of hidden shadow in the city.

In some unseen place, an unknown enemy is still slowly lurking, ready to launch a sudden attack at any moment, posing a threat.

Of course, Ron wasn't afraid of any of this.

After all, with his current strength, there are almost no opponents on Earth that he needs to be wary of.

In a direct confrontation, he is capable of defeating anyone.

Even if the true form of the End descends, Ron is confident he can defeat it once again!

However, this doesn't mean there's nothing Ron can't solve.

Combat ability is not the only measure of a person. Ron is certainly capable of defeating his opponents, but if his opponents do not appear in the open but remain hidden in the shadows from beginning to end, silently preparing their plans and doing all sorts of annoying things, there will be problems that he cannot handle.

Therefore, Ron must find out the enemy's true identity as much as possible and prepare for the possible chaos in advance!

"Currently, Anti-Entropy definitely no longer has the ability to cause trouble in Changkong City... Even if Cocolia and Bronya still want to cause trouble, without Honkai energy as a foundation, it is impossible for them to forcibly trigger the Third Herrscher experiment again... So, what other options are Schicksal and World Serpent?"

Ron's mind conjured up images of these two organizations, which were far more powerful than Anti-Entropy.

Schicksal is currently the strongest anti-Honkai organization on Earth. In terms of both scale and overall strength, it can be said to be the pinnacle of current civilization.

Bishop Otto of Destiny is even more of a heavyweight, arguably the only designated cuckold king in the current civilization... uh, no, the only designated troublemaker in the current civilization.

In any problem in the world, more than 90% of the time the blame can be placed on the other party, and the person will most likely be wrongly accused.

However, this time Ron did not believe that Otto was behind it all.

Because it was unnecessary for that Bishop of Destiny.

As for Otto, he had no desire for Changkong City or the Herrscher of Thunder. The only thing he cared about at the moment was Kiana, the experimental subject who was essentially the Herrscher of the Void.

Therefore, Otto actually prefers that Kiana can obtain a safe environment as soon as possible, rather than forcibly causing trouble in Changkong City and creating potential chaos.

From a motivational standpoint, there was no possibility that the Bishop of Destiny would cause trouble in Changkong City.

"Wait, if it's not Otto... then that means it's World Serpent causing trouble?"

The thought instinctively popped into Ron's mind, and at the same time, many things about the previous civilization flashed through his memory.

After all, the predecessor of World Serpent was the Moth Chaser, an anti-Honkai organization from the previous civilization, and the creators of World Serpent were heroes who continued from the previous civilization.

Now that Ron has confirmed that this world is the same one he traveled through before, it means that his old friends are very likely still in this world!

"Could they be in Changkong City right now?"

As Ron thought of this, a strange, indescribable emotion welled up from the bottom of his heart.

It was less an anticipation of a long-awaited reunion and more an unexpected surprise that we would meet again one day...

"boom!"

Just as Ron was sorting out his chaotic emotions, a strange atmosphere suddenly appeared in the distance of Changkong City.

Countless chaotic Honkai energies have resurfaced in this city once again!

"This is……"

Faced with this sudden chaos, Ron immediately looked toward the center where the Honkai energy was gathering, the core area filled with madness and chaos.

However, just as he was preparing to head there to resolve the crisis, the system suddenly popped up an upgrade notification.

[Warning, warning—!]

[Mission objective Bronya's life force is rapidly depleting; she will die within three minutes.]

If the other party dies, the professional mission—'A Doctor's Self-Cultivation Part One'—will fail.

"Bronya?"

Ron hadn't expected that Bronya would be in such a critical situation after only a few minutes. If he didn't rush over now, she and his mission would be doomed.

Although Bronya was one of the culprits behind the chaos in Long Sky City, Ron shouldn't have just stood by and watched her die.

After all, Bronya herself was not the main manipulator of this Herrscher experiment; she was merely influenced by Cocolia and had no choice but to do such a thing.

Besides, she was his mission target, and Ron had to find a way to save her for the mission rewards.

Therefore, Ron temporarily ignored the collapsing storm that had begun to sweep across the city, and directly activated his black hole form, launching a search in Changkong City at an extremely fast speed.

In such a short time, he had to find the other person as quickly as possible in order to have any chance of saving the person who was about to die.

……

a few minutes ago.

Reverse entropy distribution.

"Bronya, hand over the Titan mech's controller to me. We need to continue the Herrscher experiments and obtain the Herrscher of Thunder!"

Cocolia spoke coldly; she had gone completely mad and was determined to complete this Herrscher experiment at all costs.

"Mom Cocolia..."

However, Bronya's gaze became much more resolute than before. She stared intently at her adoptive mother and said, word by word, "Bronya doesn't want you to do such a wrong thing again."

"what?!"

Cocolia frowned, clearly not expecting her most cherished daughter to say such a thing to her. "Are you out of your mind, Bronya? Have you forgotten Seele, who is still trapped in the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

“Bronya certainly remembers!” Bronya’s eyes were firm. “However, Bronya doesn’t want to use such a wrong method to save Seele, and I believe Seele wouldn’t want us to do such a crazy thing to save her!”

"Bronya..."

Cocolia looked at her daughter, never imagining that the girl who had never defied her would utter such resolute words.

Her expression suddenly became very confused, unsure of how to respond.

However, Cocolia is ultimately a ruthless person with a heart of stone.

千?,.寻?免;费",:.小'?'说;?輑.:.?2..'!5?5.5,:?9;!,.5:!3!0?0她为了自己的目标，什么事情都做得出来！

"In that case, hand over the controller!" Cocolia said coldly. "I'll handle this myself, and I'll bear all the consequences!"

"No... I won't allow you to do that, Cocolia's mother!"

Bronya held onto what she was holding tightly, and even tried to summon Heavy Bunny to stop Cocolia's actions.

Cocolia frowned at this. Her body was just that of an ordinary person, and she couldn't possibly compete with Bronya, who possessed the Heavy Bunny.

Just when the situation suddenly reached a stalemate, with neither mother nor daughter able to determine a winner in the short term—

"Snapped!"

A crisp gunshot rang out from the shadows.

A man dressed in a black robe and carrying a black umbrella slowly walked out, looked at the arguing mother and daughter, and sneered: "It seems I had too high expectations of you, Cocolia."

"A gray snake?!"

Cocolia was surprised that the other party would come here in person, and was about to speak.

But the next moment, she found that Bronya in front of her had suddenly stopped controlling the Heavy Bunny.
