CHAPTER 93: ICISEI EPISODE 93

『 All were warriors who fought with Honkai energy. The attack from the Moonlight Throne might also inadvertently harm them.

For safety, they had to discuss properly.

With that thought, Theresa turned to the two doctors and instructed:

"The power setting and preparation for the Moonlight Throne, I’ll leave the judgment and decision to you two doctors."

The impatient Dr. Tesla patted her chest nonchalantly, "No problem, at worst we can just play rock-paper-scissors."

On the other side, Dr. Einstein nodded in agreement. 』

[ Bronya (Honkai: Star Rail): "Um, what is rock-paper-scissors?" ]

[ Seele (Honkai: Star Rail): "So dumb, you don’t even know this? Didn’t you have a childhood?" ]

[ Bronya (Honkai: Star Rail): "..." ]

[ .....]

『 With matters settled here, Theresa reconnected with Kiana and the others who were waiting for news on the ground.

The camera shifted to the other side...

On the ground, everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, waiting for instructions from the Hyperion.

Suddenly, a communication signal entered their ears.

"Kiana, Bronya, can you hear me?"

"We can hear you, Director," Kiana replied flatly.

Upon hearing the voice, Bronya also solemnly asked Theresa on the other end of the communicator, "Director, do you have any instructions?"

Seeing Liliya and the others growing weaker, Bronya wished this matter could be resolved immediately.

Soon, Theresa relayed a plan to them via communication.

"In a moment, the doctors and I will use the Moonlight Throne to deal with this light barrier. You lead everyone to retreat to a safe place as quickly as possible."

"If this plan succeeds, ensure your safety before dealing with Otto, and I will follow shortly."

"Moonlight Throne?" Kiana chewed on Theresa’s words with disbelief.

But before she could ask further, Bronya, who seemed to have a sudden realization, chimed in:

"Kiana, let the doctors explain the principle later. Let’s act according to the Director’s plan for now."

Kiana also realized the urgency of the situation and stopped asking questions, instead saying:

"Yes, Bronya, you’re right. Let’s hurry up and act."

After they were ready, the two quickly left the battlefield with Seele and the others.

The two weak little ones also followed closely, led by Seele. 』

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "What will this attack look like? This big guy in front of us looks tough." ]

[ Tesla (Honkai: Impact Third): "Hmph, just watch. Our Moonlight Throne will definitely smash his skull!" ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "..." ]

[ .....]

『 On the other side... On the Hyperion.

Theresa ended the call and looked up at the two doctors, who seemed to have finished their discussion.

"The front lines are arranged. Dr. Tesla, how are things on your end?"

Tesla, who had lost the rock-paper-scissors game, adjusted the power set by Einstein and looked up, saying:

"For this test shot, the power is set to 20% as Einstein said. Moonlight Throne, ready at any time."

Receiving the reply, Theresa asked Kiana and the others via communicator:

"Excellent. Kiana, have you retreated to your positions?"

Kiana, in the safe zone, replied seriously, "We have gathered in the safe zone."

Next, they would prepare to act immediately if the experiment succeeded.

Theresa heard the reply and prepared to issue the order.

"Received!" Putting down the communicator, Theresa said to Tesla, "Alright, Dr. Tesla, let’s move too."

"Understood." Tesla seriously pressed the button, "Hyperion Anti-Ruler Weapon, Main Cannon - Moonlight Throne - Activate!" 』

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Come on! Fire the cannon!" ]

[ Himeko (Honkai: Star Rail): "..." ]

[ .....]

『 As the Moonlight Throne unfolded, the Hyperion emitted a sound of energy gathering like countless turbines spinning in unison.

Then, the two doctors of Anti-Entropy began to operate against time.

"System control, ready." - Dr. Einstein

"Output control, ready." - Dr. Tesla

"Orbit control, ready." - Dr. Einstein

"Target, lock successful!" - Dr. Tesla

"Range error, correction complete." - Dr. Einstein

"Moonlight Throne! Fire!!" - Dr. Tesla

At Dr. Tesla’s command, a dazzling light directly struck the troublesome light barrier. 』

[ Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece): "That flying big ship actually has such a powerful cannon! ~" ]

[ Beidou (Genshin Impact): "Not bad, very not bad." ]

[ Beidou (Genshin Impact): "It would be great to have a ship like this." ]

[ Ningguang (Genshin Impact): "What are you thinking? If you had this, Liyue Harbor would be your destination." ]

[ Asta (Honkai: Star Rail): "Something like this is not as fun as a Star Destroyer." ]

[ Sontarans (Doctor Who): "Star... Star Destroyer" ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Extraterrestrial civilization? I didn’t expect such existence to be watching this place." ]

[ .....]

『 After the shooting stopped, everyone witnessed their respective resultswith their own eyes.

Looking at their excellent results, Dr. Tesla excitedly shouted, "Great! The test shot was successful!"

Compared to the joy of the two doctors, Theresa immediately contacted Kiana and the others, who were still unclear about the situation inside.

"Kiana, how does it feel on your end?"

While waiting anxiously, Theresa heard Kiana’s slightly surprised voice, "It’s fine, we can also see the breach on the light barrier that was pierced."

Because of this test shot of the Moonlight Throne, the light barrier in front of them was blasted open with a large gap.

This scene made everyone’s faces bloom with joy.

At this moment, Dr. Tesla, filled with excitement, was eager to continue operating the Moonlight Throne to increase its firepower. "Then let’s hurry up and prepare for a higher-power launch."

But before she could make a move, Bronya’s voice interrupted her enthusiasm through the communicator, "Wait, Dr. Tesla, something is not right on our end..."

Dr. Tesla, who was abruptly stopped, asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"The light barrier that was broken just now has self-repaired at an astonishing speed," Kiana slowly revealed a shocking truth.

"What? It’s fixed?" Dr. Tesla looked at the light barrier in the distance in disbelief, "Ah, damn it, it was indeed not that simple!"

Under everyone’s gaze, the large hole in the light barrier was clearly visible.

But in an instant, it recovered to its original state, little by little, right before everyone’s eyes.

The repair speed was quite fast, certainly not at a speed that allowed them to break through.

"It seems that guy not only set up this damn barrier but also considered the repair method," Dr. Tesla said resentfully, "Could it be that this is also one of his abilities?"

Afterward, her gaze turned to Dr. Einstein, who was calculating something nearby, and Einstein.

"Explosive head, and Einstein, based on the test attack just now, have you calculated the bearing limit of this light barrier?"

Dr. Einstein breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to everyone with a serious expression.

"Of course, Dr. Tesla, but there’s good news and bad news now."

The impatient Dr. Tesla stared at her, "Oh, what are you waiting for at this time? Speak quickly!"

Then, Dr. Einstein slowly announced mixed good and bad news.

"The good news is: the Moonlight Throne’s attack did work, and we obtained the exact energy limit."

"But the bad news that followed is: That the limit is very high. Even with the remaining 80% of Hyperion’s energy, it cannot destroy the light barrier." 』

『 .....』

~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Good news: it works, there’s a chance to break the turtle shell. // Bad news: it needs several times more power to break it, and they didn’t bring enough." ]

[ Einstein (Honkai: Impact Third): "Your summary is quite good." ]

[ Einstein (Honkai: Impact Third): "It seems necessary to strengthen our energy reserve device." ]

[ Tesla (Honkai: Impact Third): "How annoying! Not breaking this guy’s barrier for such a stupid reason!!!" ]

[ .....]

『 "Moreover, if the entire light barrier cannot be destroyed in one go, as Miss Kiana saw, it will regenerate itself," Einstein joined the discussion with a document.

But this answer confused Dr. Tesla.

"What? Didn’t we just use 20% of the energy and make a hole in it?"

Clearly, they had made such a large hole in the light barrier with only 20% of the energy before,

Why was it said now that even using all their remaining reserves, they could only make a slightly larger hole?

"Yes, even if we invest four times the energy, we can only create a larger gap, which is still not enough to match its self-repair speed," Dr. Einstein said calmly, "Let alone completely destroy it."

Einstein continued the topic.

"To completely destroy this light barrier, at least five times the total Honkai energy reserves on the Hyperion must be mobilized simultaneously."

"Putting aside how to concentrate so much energy onto the Hyperion," Dr. Einstein said with a solemn expression as she looked at the calculation results, "but according to the theoretical power required, it has long exceeded the maximum launch capability of the Moonlight Throne."

"So, our plan to use the Moonlight Throne won’t work?" Kiana, who had roughly understood Dr. Einstein’s meaning, asked.

"Regrettably, that is indeed the case." Before Dr. Einstein could finish, she was quickly interrupted by a voice.

"Wait a moment, Dr. Einstein." Bronya quickly interjected, "Perhaps... what you consider bad news is actually two pieces of good news." 』

『 .....』

~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Um, Miss Bronya, do you have any good strategies?" ]

[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "That the future, how could the current Bronya possibly know, Miss March 7th?" ]

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Eh?! Aha... right, right! My bad~" ]

[ .....]

『 But this made Dr. Tesla somewhat confused.

"Eh? How can bad things become good? Can you create more Moonlight Thrones?"

They currently only have one Moonlight Throne on the Hyperion.

Moreover, as just stated, even using all the Hyperion’s energy wouldn’t penetrate this light barrier.

Even if there was enough Honkai energy, sending it into the Moonlight Throne wouldn’t be a problem,

But the Moonlight Throne’s design limit for bearing capacity was insufficient to release such a large amount of energy.

Unless they could attack with five or more Moonlight Thrones simultaneously.

But where would they find the time to build Moonlight Thrones?

Even if they had time, gathering so many resources in a short period was unrealistic; they weren’t the financially powerful Schicksal organization.

So, how could those two pieces of news, one good and one bad, be a double celebration?

This was clearly impossible.

Bronya, however, replied with determined eyes, "Yes, you’re right."

Dr. Tesla, unable to turn her mind around, was about to retort when suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

"What? Are you serious... wait, you’re not thinking of..." Dr. Tesla looked at Bronya in disbelief,

Using that method was almost impossible.

Because even the most skilled person in the past couldn’t accomplish this feat.

Not to mention that this girl had only recently obtained that power.

However, Bronya firmly stated her plan: "Yes, you guessed right. I want to use the power of the Herrscher of Reason to construct enough Moonlight Throne arrays." 』

『 .....』

~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~

[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "Wait, how come Bronya too...." ]

[ Tesla (Honkai: Impact Third): "Wait, what’s going on? Does that guy mean...?" ]

[ Welt Yang (Honkai: Star Rail): "..." ]

[ Welt Yang (Honkai: Impact Third): "..." ]

[ .....]

『 "Ah?!" Hearing this shocking news, Seele looked at Bronya as if she were a hero.

Theresa, who was deep in thought, looked up at Bronya in surprise, "What?"

This matter sounded too incredible.

One Moonlight Throne required immense energy,

Not to mention building an array and supplying them with enough Honkai energy to fire.

This was something that even the vast Hyperion couldn’t do.

But Bronya claimed she could do it.

"Can something like this be done?" Kiana also asked.

She didn’t quite understand these difficult problems; she only knew that if it succeeded,

They could directly charge in and teach Otto a lesson.

Facing everyone’s expectant gazes, Bronya shook her head silently:

"Of course it’s difficult. This is something even Mr. Welt couldn’t do."

"But this is the most worthwhile method for us to try at the moment."

"Bronya, you have to believe in yourself..."

Although this plan seemed almost impossible to achieve, they really had no other options at the moment.

Currently, the only thing that could cause enough damage to that light barrier was the Moonlight Throne.

Other weapons required Honkai energy to drive, and Honkai energy would likely have little effect on that guy; it would only be easily dissolved by it.

Bronya recalled that when she obtained the power of the Herrscher of Reason, the previous Herrscher of Reason, Welt Yang, had given her some guidance.

It was these teachings that made Bronya determined at this moment.

However, Theresa still felt a bit uneasy and wanted to persuade the young girl again: "Bronya, shouldn’t we consider other feasible methods?"

To have the Herrschers, Bronya, create a weapon specifically to counter Herrschers, and then activate it with her own Honkai energy,

This was a huge challenge, no matter how you looked at it.

Moreover, the entire process’s energy consumption would have to be borne by Bronya alone.

Even if they could provide support later, it would have to wait until the Moonlight Throne was formed.

This way, most of the effort would be put in by Bronya herself.

However, Bronya assured Theresa with a determined gaze through the communicator: "Don’t worry, Director, Bronya knows what she is doing."

"Is it really okay this time?" Kiana also asked with some worry.

But Bronya countered Kiana’s doubt, "Silly, haven’t you done this kind of thing before? If you can do it, why can’t others?"

Kiana used to be an expert in this regard. Even though she had reformed now,

Her past actions wouldn’t disappear into thin air.

Not to mention that Bronya had a particularly good memory, and the past events were vividly remembered.

Therefore, Kiana’s words were like allowing the governor to set fire but forbidding the common people from lighting a lamp.

Seeing this, Kiana could only say awkwardly, "Alright, this time I choose to believe you, Bronya."

After all, she used to be like that.

Dr. Einstein estimated the situation and said to Bronya, "I understand, Bronya. You will be in command on site."

"We will perform a second and final charge of the Moonlight Throne through the Hyperion. We will attack according to your orders," Dr. Tesla could only agree, "After all, if you do it, do it well!"

"Every member of Anti-Entropy must be worthy of the belief of the Herrscher of Reason," Einstein said calmly, and then the two ended the call.

Next, they began to prepare for the operation.

"I understand," Bronya replied, turned around, and instructed those behind her:

"Kiana, Seele, Rosaliya, and Liliya, please help cover Bronya’s actions. This construction task is enormous, and Bronya does not wish for, nor can she afford, any accidental interference."

Next, she would dedicate herself wholeheartedly to completing this seemingly impossible task.

The rest could only be left to her partner’s present.

If she failed, Bronya truly didn’t know what to do. 』
