Creating Happiness with Heart in Honkai

"Miss Bronie, please refrain from blaming yourself until everything is concluded," the protective shield dissipated, and Aponia once again walked on the ground.

It had been an immense effort for her to activate the Grace Field for that brief moment, and for Bronie, it had been an all-out endeavor.

But to exert all her effort and end up with such an outcome, one could imagine the blow it dealt to Bronie.

To kill the one she loved with her own hands, how cruel it was, and Aponia was acutely aware of this feeling.

"Had THEY left?"

"Hmm?"

Aponia knew she had indeed exerted her power, but...

Was this a normal reaction?

Isn't Bronie supposed to be concerned about those around her first?

"Who left?"

Aponia wasn't sure whom Bronie was referring to.

"The Aeon."

Bronie tried to lower her voice as much as possible, but if the Aeon was present, this behavior could be considered futile.

"Probably? I can't say for sure whether the Aeon really left..."

This wasn't a lie from Aponia; suddenly turning into a golden tree, was the Aeon still watching here? Had THEY really left?

"Injured, that's true, clearing the game, that's also true. But what I really want to do can only be done after the game is over. And The Elation is not the kind of weak and timid person who would rely entirely on THEIR possibly existing omniscient and omnipotent abilities to know everyone's thoughts."

With Aponia's assistance, Bronie slowly got up.

Damn, this is quite...

No, now is the time to explain the plan!

"The power of the Aeon, the power of the Paths, they all stem from the imaginary energy in the Imaginary Tree. Our resurrection plan also relies on the Imaginary Tree, so you are definitely closely connected to it now."

"So it's like The Elation gathered us here, in a way replacing us to open the door, and also located our positions in the Imaginary Tree, using imaginary energy to transform all falsehoods into reality."

Vill-V explained on the side, approaching Bronie slowly.

"Elation, as the antithesis of Nihility, wouldn't expect meaningless illusions to appear before THEM, so no matter what, you are definitely real, the real state of resurrection we expect. If she created false illusions, it would contradict the Path she presides."

Although The Elation could have many interpretations, perhaps creating an illusion to tease Bronie would be a joke.

But even if it were a punishment, it could be considered a reward.

"Su, I'm counting on you. You have dealt with Cosmic Juggernaut the longest, and there's also Kevin..."

The core of Cosmic Juggernaut is in Kevin's hands, and Kevin knows thi. Looking at Bronie, Kevin felt a stir in his heart.

They thought that even if someone remembered them, they might not necessarily be able to do anything for them.

But Bronie did it.

For fifty thousand years, Bronie had done something that others couldn't do for such a long time.

So Kevin acknowledged Bronie's will.

"These are the coordinates of Cosmic Juggernaut in the Sea of Quanta, but there may currently be no conditions to enter the Sea of Quanta..."

The stronger the imaginary energy, the farther away from the Sea of Quanta, just like the position of the moon corresponding to the gravitational force of tides.

Now, the Sea of Quanta was so far away.

"By the beach, time is of the essence, hurry."

By the beach?

Originally, this was an important passage Bronie used to escape to the Sea of Quanta, but now it had become an important beacon in the Sea of Quantum to establish contact with Cosmic Juggernaut.

Dealing with someone who is omniscient and omnipotent, the most important thing is not to have multiple plans, but to lay out the resources to ensure that you have enough.

In this way, there was a chance to seize a glimmer of hope even in some changes that one might not even think of themselves!

"Fast, right? The shortest distance between two points is a straight line! Hua, come with me to clear the way!"

"No problem, Kalpas!"

Fu Hua also realized the current situation, so without hesitation, she put on the Grips of Taixuan gloves.

"Oh? New equipment?"

"This is used to confront the Honkai Beasts in the previous era..."

A fist slammed into the wall, creating a huge hole.

The golden tree was still growing, and Mobius judged that the time they had wouldn't exceed ten minutes.

Upon hearing this news, Kalpas also stopped chatting and charged forward!

Bronya operated Project Bunny, slowly lifting Bronie, and the main force advanced at a very fast speed.

The Project Bunny had transformed into a motorcycle form, and Elysia laid down a road with her pink crystals while Kevin's ice blocks, Vill-V also followed closely behind, advancing along the road.

Far away on the beach, Seele looked at the golden tree, then checked the device in her hand again.

"Sister Sin, this is the signal Sister Bronie gave us. Let's hurry and open the device."

"I know even without you telling me!"

It's just a pity that this kind of high-tech stuff is a bit too difficult for the children. Although there are instruction manuals and everyone is trying to assemble it, children, after all, love to play. So only a few sensible children were working on it, but they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Bronie didn't tell them much, but she believed Sin and Seele could handle it.

With Anila assisting, the speed of opening the Sea of Quanta passage would only be faster.

In fact, among all the children, only the three of them were doing serious work, while the others had long been led astray by Rosalia.

Originally, Bronie intended to leave Bronya by the beach, but Bronya insisted on staying by her side.

Project Bunny transformed into a motorcycle, sparking with lightning along the way.

"Bronie! What happened to you!?"

Seele noticed Bronie's arrival, but she never expected Bronie to look as if she hadn't slept for days, working continuously for such a long time.

The haggard face, the posture that could collapse at any moment, and the lack of confidence... Seele found it hard to imagine what Bronie had been facing.

"I'm not dead yet, Seele. Do you have any food? I haven't eaten much on the way, and I'm feeling tired... Also, fetch the first aid kit I prepared for Sin."

Bronie took a stimulant from the first aid kit and injected it into her body, instantly relieving all the pain. Although Bronie knew that her recovery was just an illusion, Fire Moth technology was still very effective.

Vill-V followed suit, looking at the almost assembled device and immediately joining in. In just a few moments, under Anila's gaze, Vill-V completed the assembly of the Sea of Quanta passage device.

"Really, Bronie, you always like to prepare so much? Thanks to your preparations, it's time to summon Cosmic Juggernaut!"

Eight minutes, is it enough?

Vill-V didn't know, but they had to try anyway.

"Kevin, it's our turn to fight side by side again."

When Su said this, Kevin hesitated for a moment.

"Yeah, side by side."

Kevin wasn't one for many words, and he began his work in front of the Sea of Quanta passage built by Vill-V and the orphanage children. Then, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded before the scientists.

In the island filled with imaginary energy, a path leading to the Sea of Quantum was opened, and within that gateway to the Sea of Quantum, another train engine appeared.

The train engine had been split into two sections originally, and Kevin owned the latter half.

As the latter half reconnected with the front, the second divine key, Cosmic Juggernaut, for the execution of the previous civilization's Project Velaka, descended once again!

"I'm almost back to normal. Now it's my turn!"

"Are you sure it's okay? I remember the shot you just took..."

"Elysia, whether it's okay or not doesn't matter. What matters is that only I can do this. If you approach the Imaginary Tree, you'll probably turn into pure imaginary energy and dissipate completely."

"According to calculations, based on Bronie's abilities, the success rate of this plan is indeed very high."

Vill-V also comforted, although she also knew that Bronie's body condition was so poor that after taking that shot, she would probably need to lie in bed for a long time.

However, her true ability lies in editing the language of the world, and she has a certain influence on compiling the Imaginary Tree.

So she had to do it herself!

Even if it's just to touch the Imaginary Tree and implant a small program inside!

So this plan was completely improvised, and in the end, it all depended on luck, but if they dared to go all out...

Then Bronie glanced at the worried-looking Bronya.

"You're tired too. Don't force yourself. Even if the Divine Grace Field only lasted for a moment, it will definitely have an impact on your body. If you're unlucky, you might not grow tall in the future."

"Bronie, do you remember the agreement with Bronya? Don't push yourself too hard. Sometimes taking the long way around is the shortcut. Don't be too greedy."

"Yeah, it's not just Vill-V. In our plan, there's also the leader of the previous civilization, Dr. Mei, the pinnacle of human wisdom, so we can't expect to solve all the problems completely this time."

Bronie had a very clear goal in mind. And when Kevin heard about Dr. Mei, he turned back and asked, "Is there anything else that needs help?"

"If we encounter enemies on the way, please help me eliminate them. I may not be able to spare so much energy."

Just as there are monsters on the side of the Sea of Quanta, Bronie believed there must be something on the side of the Imaginary Tree, whether it's imaginary constructs or something else, as long as they attempt to do something to the Imaginary Tree, they will inevitably encounter obstacles.

"No problem! Su, and... Aponia."

Kevin hesitated for a moment, but Aponia had voluntarily merged with the Elysian Realm, so in the Elysian Realm, Aponia could be considered a very special existence.

She had locked herself away for too long, so long that everyone almost thought she had indeed died.

But a MANTIS Soldier, especially someone as special as Aponia, how could she easily die?

She wouldn't use death to escape her sins, only to punish herself continuously, as an act of atonement.

"I understand. I will do my best."

"Phew, it seems I haven't forgotten how to make a floating motorcycle..."

"Bronie, three minutes left. Although there is very little concept of time inside the Sea of Quanta, unlike the imaginary space inside the Imaginary Tree, remember to reserve time."

"Got it."

"Alright! The great Vill-V's magic escape prop is ready! Lock the coordinates of the imaginary space, confirm the traces of a large amount of imaginary energy flow, and actors, get ready!"

As the gate of Cosmic Juggernaut opened, this was Bronie's first time entering its interior. The control panel inside resembled that of a spaceship, very futuristic.

"Are you ready?" Vill-V asked.

"Do we even need to ask? Of course, we're ready. Now and in the future, this is something we must face. Let's treat this as a warm-up, because I also believe in your abilities."

"Okay, that's good. Maintain that mindset. Don't rush out blindly anymore, although you have special abilities, you are also very vulnerable."

"Mm... I know, so when will you..."

"Cosmic Juggernaut preheating complete, entering the final three-second countdown, three, two... one..."

When Cosmic Juggernaut started, there wasn't any noticeable pushback. Essentially, Cosmic Juggernaut located the coordinates of the imaginary space and utilized the properties of the imaginary space to achieve displacement.

But in reality, there were still many mysteries about the imaginary space, so the fact that Cosmic Juggernaut could advance steadily was already very remarkable.

After a moment of weightlessness dissipated, Bronie hurried to the door of Cosmic Juggernaut. Getting off, she looked around, recalibrating the time.

Time did pass in the imaginary space, but there were also differences in the speed of time flow.

Bronie didn't understand the specific rules, but the original three minutes had been extended by about ten minutes, which Bronie thought was quite good.

The enormous golden tree was right in front, with a desert of red sand beneath her feet. And in this desert of imaginary sand, there were some rare building remains.

Some looked like buildings from the Elysian Realm, while others resembled the base on the moon.

At a glance, they were all military-style buildings of the previous civilization's Fire Moth.

And beneath that golden tree, Bronie saw a figure in pink.

A girl dressed in new clothes, gorgeously adorned, like a bride in a sea of flower.

Bronie knew that scene was Elysia's final farewell ball...

If she wanted to pull her out of the river of time and space into her own world, then what Bronie would have to face was the last thing Elysia had to face.

And Elysia chose the ultimate self-sacrifice, so what Bronie would face was Elysia herself.

Projecting the floating motorcycle and riding up, all Bronie could see in her eyes at that moment was that pink figure.

"I'm here, Elysia!"
