Chapter 41: Cutting the World
15 minutes later.
Assembly of the Republic, Iberian Tea Room.
"Hello everyone, I'm Speaker of the Republic, Thoreau."
Sitting at the tea table by the floor-to-ceiling window was a woman with short sky-blue hair.
You can't tell the age from your face alone, you look very young, but you have a maturity of vicissitudes.
When Ye You and the others came in, she was playing with a transparent gem in front of the sun.
"It is said that the mission of the two Valkyries from another world is to investigate our 'ether' anchor? In other words, your core appeal is closely related to the 'lifeline' of this world. β
β......β
β......β
The speaker's opening remarks filled the supposed relaxed tea room with a tense atmosphere.
Then, she said, "Yes." β
β......β
Both Rita and Bianca knew she had something to say.
"The premise is that you are willing to help the Republic and help the world. In return, I can offer you something far more valuable than the 'findings.'" β
Thoreau's white fingers pinched the gem and placed it in the sunlight, sparkling.
"βsomething countless times more valuable than the two Glondelle gems in my hands. At the same time, the remaining four gems are all on our side. β
"So what should I do?"
Bianca didn't hesitate, the Valkyrie was a guardian of beauty, and Bianca was even more so.
Simple, serious, stubborn.
In order to achieve the strongest, extremely strict requirements for yourself.
She also understands that maybe in a few years, she will be a taciturn and uninteresting person.
But when the blood is still alive, she is a fool who moves forward.
"Let's start with the conclusion. In the face of the threat of collapse, our republic has been drawing up a plan to save the world once and for all since its founding. Just a very bold plan, it has almost no drawbacks β other than the lack of the necessary executors.
I want you to play that role β to be the cutter of the world! β
Bianca stared blankly at her, Worldcutter?
Is it an adjective? Or the meaning of the reference itself.
Thoreau said, "Your Captain Shakespeare seems to have a plan to break down the wall of energy, but what we are going to do is not fundamentally different, except to zoom in on the object to the 'world'. β
"Destroying the world? What do you mean? β
"Literally."
Rousseau smiled, "That 'Glolander' in your hand has that kind of power. β
She slowly raised a finger:
"Step 1: Use the Holy Sword to cut off the part of this world bubble that is polluted by the Honkai. Step 2: Fly the cut debris. β
The speaker smiled, "It's simple. β
β......β
Where is it simple!
In case of failure...... Haven't you become the executioner of the people who slaughtered a world?
It's an unbearable weight and sin.
Just imagining it, Bianca felt her chest tighten.
It's incredibly depressing.
And yetβ
The girl clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and looked at the speaker with a faint smile,
"I'm just going to ask one question."
"Excuse me."
"What is the success rate of this program?"
"The probability of success in the first step is about 99%, and the remaining one percent depends on your resistance to Honkai energy. But for the second step, I can't tell you a number. β
Rousseau continued: "Valkyries, you may be new to the city β but we have been fighting these vicious parasites for half a century. The enemy wants to transform the world inside the walls into a collapsed paradise, and they also try to turn the entire world into a world infested with monsters. Therefore, we must remove the soil on which they depend.
Fortunately, we do not live in a complete planetary world, but in a miniature world bubble. The complete 'Glondelle' is a weapon capable of slicing through space itself. Many people have argued this from various angles before, but we lack a holy sword envoy. Bianca, believe you are the last piece of the puzzle.
Of course, whether you agree with our plan or not, I will return the remaining gems. After all, it is better to let people with different hearts use these gems than to gather them together and put them in the right hands. β
After Thoreau finished speaking, he sat down quietly and sipped his black tea.
Bianca was solemnly silent.
Time passes slowly.
......
"Whew~~"
Coming out of the speaker's tea room, Bianca exhaled deeply as if she was about to exhale all the oppressive feelings in her chest.
"Bianca. You okay? β
"Ahh Ye You, it's okay. Makes you worried. β
"The Speaker's plan is so exaggerated, it's normal for you to hesitate."
After all, that's the equivalent of carrying the hope of a whole world.
This burden is by no means something that anyone can afford.
But this 12-year-old girl resolutely chose to accept it.
"It's okay. It didn't feel any different from my usual tasks, I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to do it well. If we mess up, a lot of people in this world will feel like the 'end of the world' is coming. β
"Ah, probably. But do you believe it? The next day, they still sang and danced. So, you don't have to think of yourself as a savior. β
Ye You looked at Bianca's surprised eyes and said, "You are not realizing the salvation you have promised othersβyou, and Lendale, are just giving the people of this world one more hope."
That's all.
Whether or not the fate of this world has been changed, what we are doing is just a 'phenomenon'. It is not known to be remembered in history and praised by others, nor will it be set on the pillar of shame for people to spit on. So, you just take it easy. β
"Hmmm......"
"Well, it seems to be about the same as a modern city. How about we go shopping? β
"Shopping?"
"There is calm in every big event. It's just a good time to relax. β
β...... All right. β
Come to the high street.
The architecture here has a sense of age, just like China in the 90s, which was in rapid development.
Ye You and Bianca ate a bowl of local specialty snacks at a street stall and went to a shooting game.
Bianca is very powerful, and she misses a shot.
The boss gave him a complaining look.
Finally, they stopped in front of a handicraft shop, and looking at the delicate ornaments on the wooden shelves, Ye You suddenly remembered that Bianca seemed to like cats very much.
In order to adopt Stan, who was once an enemy (an artificially created controllable and intelligent Honkai Beast, in cat form), he is even willing to threaten Otto and deceive Rita.
"I'll give you this."
A white cat trinkets.
Bianca took it, put it in the palm of her hand, and looked at it stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Ye You saw her in a daze and asked.
"Nothing, thank you, I'll treasure it."
Seeing Bianca carefully put it in her pocket, Ye You smiled inwardly: Bianca really likes cats very much.
......
Everything is ready to go.
The day has come when the plan will be executed.
"Xiao You, how are you feeling now?" In the preparation room, Bianca looked at the holy sword in front of her and said, "In an hour, you should be able to return to its original state." β
"Hmm...... Are you asking me? Nothing special. However, this is the first time that you have taken the initiative to talk to me, little master. Is it nervousness? β
"Hahβhow can you be nervous!"
Bianca said in a loud voice: "I'm an A-class Valkyrie, what kind of wind and waves have I never seen?" Belch...... This statement is inevitably too strong, and you forgot it for me. β
Bianca takes out the kitten, which is clinging to the inside pocket, and places it on her chest.
Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
Then he slowly opened his eyes, "Okay, let's go." Let's go, cut the world. β
