Chapter 154: "The second world complete"

Kiana: "We are really back... Why do I feel like I'm playing a video game? After completing the stage, you go straight back to the main menu? At least let me explore the map first!"

Bronya: "....This seems to be an automatic mechanism. Complaining is also useless."

Exited the second world, and returned to the familiar pocket dimension. Kiana crossed her arms in dissatisfaction, and Bronya only focused on the changes in the data recorded in Genius.

Joachim, who approached, pretended to cough to attract the attention of the two of them.

"Welcome back, you two. Looks like things are going very smoothly there."

Kiana waved her hand impatiently: "Yeah, yeah, this NPC always says the same thing over and over again. Can we just skip and go to the third world quickly?"

Joachim: "...?"

"Wait a minute Kiana. Bronya has something to ask Joachim."

Bronya raised her head, and she looked at Joachim with a sharp gaze.

"From the first world, to the second world, Bronya found a similarity. That is, after completing a test that is closely related to you, then our mission in that world is declared complete."

"Joachim, Bronya can guess some of the things you want to reveal here. Instead of going around looking for a hint, could you explain what all these tests mean?"

"Bronya wants to hear the truth from your mouth."

Hearing the analysis Bronya gave. Joachim could only let out a long sigh.

He knew that this secret of his could no longer be hidden.

"How should I say... Actually I don't want to keep it a secret from you two. It's just that what I want sounds quite selfish."

Joachim scratched his cheek in distress: "I said earlier that Welt Yang is dead, and it's true."

"His body turned into a barrier that separated the sea of ​​quanta and the real world. Then as the guardian of this labyrinth, who am I?"

Approaching a fairly deep topic. Kiana crossed her arms, and she thought very hard.

"Isn't it Mr. Yang? You've said that before."

Joachim looked at Kiana with helpless eyes: ".... Maybe that's also true. But, I still want to hear Bronya's answer first."

Bronya tilted her head: "Then..."

If according to normal logical thinking, from the start of their meeting, Bronya remembered that Joachim said that he himself was a fragment of Welt Yang.

Of course, fragments, would not be the answer Joachim wanted to know at this point.

However, as a great puzzle player, the more obvious the clue is, the more likely it is to be a trap.

On this question, Bronya needs to think about it carefully.

"...You didn't reject what Kiana said which indicates that you agree with her words."

"In addition, the first world and the second world tell a different history from the original history of our world, or your own past."

"You are neither Mr. Welt nor a memory fragment...."

"You, are Joachim."

A similar answer, but has a different meaning.

Joachim and Welt Yang are the same person. However, it is a responsibility that makes them need to change their own name.

The name Welt is a name that his hero gave him.

With responsibility, he also has to bear the burden of having the name "world" in his name.

At the moment...

The person standing before Bronya and Kiana was not Mr. Welt, hero of the second honkai war, second Herrscher, or Anti-Entropy sovereign.

He's just Joachim.

Just pure Joachim.

"You're right, I am the one who managed this labyrinth. This means that I can arrange the world you visit as I want."

"All the scenes you've seen so far are my past, my confusion, and also... the hope that I longed for."

Joachim closed his eyes quietly, and he smiled slightly.

"There's nothing special here, or any secret schemes. But if there's something I want to tell you..."

"Bronya, Kiana, I really thank you two for answering my questions all this time."

"I'm very, very grateful."

Inhale deeply, and let it out at the same time which makes the chest feel relieved. Joachim, who saw Bronya and Kiana frozen, smiled sweetly.

"You girls want to go to the sea of ​​quanta to save Seele right?"

"In the beginning even if you two pass the test, I won't allow you to go there. But as a token of gratitude, I will help you two this time."

"Bronya, Kiana, please follow me to go to the third world. After you successfully pass this test, then I will turn into your power to guide to the true essence of the Herrscher of Reason."

"With the power of the core herrscher of Reason, you have the power to survive the erosion attacks of the sea of ​​quanta for a while."

"But please don't hold it for too long. Otherwise, your body will be damaged by the honkai energy released by the herrscher core."

"Find Seele quickly, and then come back as soon as possible."

"Do you understand?"

Hearing the advice given by Joachim. Both Bronya and Kiana nodded their heads simultaneously.

"Bronya understands. With the help of the directions Genius gave, Bronya won't get lost in the sea of ​​quanta, and will find Seele as soon as possible. Bronya is well prepared."

Kiana also nodded her head.

"Don't worry, papa and mama said the Kaslana family has very high honkai energy resistance."

"Besides, I also have one in my body right now. Even though it's still in a deactivated state, a mere herrscher core isn't a problem at all to me!"

"This Miss Ben is very strong!"

Nodding his head, and felt that these two girls were really prepared for the final test he would give them. Joachim led the two of them to an area, and he glanced at the two of them with a serious look.

"Here is the test gateway of the third world."

"In there... Is my biggest doubt. I hope you all can answer that too."

Bronya nodded her head: "Understood, Bronya already knows the key answer."

Kiana laughed: "Hehehe, then let's go, and save Seele quickly! She must be waiting for us by now!"

Looking into each other's eyes, and nodding their heads simultaneously. Both Bronya and Kiana entered the third world simultaneously.

The third world exam, begins.
