CHAPTER 200: ANTI-ENTROPY, COCOLIA, EINSTEIN, AND TESLA

Chapter 200: Anti-Entropy! Cocolia! Einstein! Tesla!

The word "Water God" didn’t surprise Mei or Bronya. They didn’t believe such a thing as a Water God existed, only taking it as Furina’s self-appellation. There were quite a few people with chuunibyou like that at St. Freya Academy.

Ren continued, "We are Kiana’s friends, here to help her resolve the Honkai incident."

"Resolve the Honkai incident? Are you from some organization?" As a member of Anti-Entropy, Bronya had reason to suspect that Ren and his two companions were from another organization.

"No, they really are just my friends." Kiana interrupted Bronya’s probing, eagerly asking Ren, "How do we resolve the Honkai here?"

"The Honkai in Changkong City was caused by a person, so we just need to solve it at the root." Ren waved his hand, dispersing the Honkai energy in his palm.

"A person?" Kiana looked at Ren in shock. "Are you saying someone deliberately created this Honkai?"

"That’s right." Without a direct answer, Ren instead strangely narrowed his eyes and looked into Bronya’s eyes.

Silver Wolf’s gaze also fixed on Bronya’s eyes, and she said lightly, "Someone is monitoring us through her eyes."

"Ah? Monitoring what?" Kiana didn’t understand what that meant and became confused.

"Bronya?" Mei guessed that Bronya might have some kind of monitor installed on her. She didn’t think, or rather, wouldn’t even consider that Bronya was doing it intentionally.

Bronya tightened her grip on the Homu doll in her arms. Cocolia was monitoring everything from behind.

Ren’s lips curved into a smile. "That’s right, the mastermind is watching us. I think it’s necessary to bring her over first."

"Silver Wolf, the Honkai beasts and zombies are up to you. No problem, right?"

"No problem." Silver Wolf gave an OK gesture.

"Huh? What about me?" Furina pointed to herself.

Ren retorted, "My Water God Fufu, can you kill Honkai beasts?"

Furina opened her mouth; it seemed she really couldn’t.

"You’d better stay put and be a good mascot."

...

Anti-Entropy Headquarters. Inside the monitoring room, filled with screens.

"Another Bronya?" Cocolia frantically zoomed in on the image, carefully observing the details on Silver Wolf’s face. She really looked like Bronya, almost identical! She didn’t care who the three suddenly appearing people were right now. She bit her thumbnail, and a strong expectation flashed in her eyes. "I must bring this Bronya back too!" Cocolia was a lunatic. Even though she heard Silver Wolf’s self-introduction, she still referred to her as Bronya.

"!!!" But as the image moved, she saw Ren’s meaningful smile and heard Silver Wolf’s words.

"They found me?" Cocolia muttered in shock. The next second, from Bronya’s perspective, Ren suddenly disappeared.

"You’re Cocolia, right?" A hand rested on her shoulder.

Cocolia spun around abruptly, slamming one hand on the light spot on the table and pulling out an electromagnetic gun with the other, aiming it forward.

"!!!" After clearly seeing the face of the person behind her, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"How are you here?!" Cocolia questioned in disbelief. The person who arrived was Ren. A second ago, he was clearly in front of Bronya! Cocolia firmly believed she couldn’t be mistaken.

"Of course, I’m here to catch the mastermind." Not caring about the dark muzzle pointed at his head, Ren instead looked at Cocolia with interest. Her surname was different from his Cocolia, but their names were the same, and while their appearances were extremely similar, there were also differences.

The Cocolia in front of him had purple eyes, waist-length golden curly hair, as beautiful as a doll, and a tall figure. She wore a Russian-style military uniform, with a cotton-collared red-backed white cape draped over her shoulders, and purple gemstone earrings, giving her a powerful aura. But deep in her eyes was a hint of madness, quite similar to Cocolia during the period when she was corrupted by the Stellaron.

"What do you mean?" Cocolia narrowed her eyes.

"To stimulate the power within Raiden Mei, you orchestrated an artificial Honkai in St. Freya Academy in Changkong City, and Bronya was responsible for recovering the awakened Raiden Mei." At Ren’s words, Cocolia’s face was filled with horror. "How do you know?!" Had her actions been monitored? Or was there an internal spy? Bronya? No... it couldn’t be Bronya! Too many thoughts flashed through Cocolia’s mind at once.

Ren chuckled and continued, "You tried to obtain a complete Herrscher core to drive the Moon Throne."

Cocolia’s expression changed dramatically; she couldn’t understand. How did this complete stranger, whom she had never seen before, know about her plan?

"Who dares to invade Anti-Entropy?!" Just as the two briefly exchanged words, the door to Cocolia’s monitoring room opened.

Click, click... click, click! Then a group of mechs rushed in, surrounding Ren with their cannons. Rushing in were Einstein and Tesla, who were at odds with Cocolia. But this time, their appearance actually made Cocolia breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, Ren’s sudden appearance truly made her panic.

"You’re the invader?" Tesla. A very impactful woman, her tone of voice also carried confidence and pride. Tesla was undoubtedly a beautiful woman. She had fiery red hair, tied into pigtails on each side. Her slightly upturned eyes gave the strong will residing within them a slightly aggressive look, but the intellectual atmosphere created by her red-rimmed glasses perfectly balanced this impression. Her left red mechanical arm, like the mechs, simultaneously aimed at Ren.

Beside her were three robots of red, blue, and green colors, with blue lights in their eyes, also appearing to be aiming at Ren. Clearly, they were all weapons at this moment.

And beside Tesla was also a woman. White shirt, purple tie, light-colored sweater, and a black suit jacket. Black shorts with white trim, black straps on her thighs, and black armor on both legs. The strangely dressed Einstein stood with her arms crossed, sizing up Ren.

"Someone can invade Anti-Entropy Headquarters without triggering any alarms. How did you do that?" Ren turned without any defense, exposing his back to Cocolia, and looked directly at Tesla and Einstein. Einstein had deep blue eyes, a doll-like round face, and light natural curls. If it weren’t for that terrible hairstyle, she should have been a beautiful woman. She undoubtedly had the aura of a legendary "mad scientist" about her.

Ren looked at Tesla. "Fredrica Nikola Tesla, former scientist at the Empire Research Institute’s 42nd Laboratory under Schicksal, one of the founders of Anti-Entropy, and one of its Executors."

Then he looked at Einstein. "Lieserl Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists in human history, former scientist at the Empire Research Institute’s 42nd Laboratory under Schicksal, one of the founders of Anti-Entropy, and one of its Executors."

Ren’s words, it was unclear whether he was specifically stating their identities or praising their talents.

Tesla raised her chin and huffed proudly, "Don’t think praising us will make us let you go."

Einstein also said in a cold tone, "Invader, it’s best to surrender and state your intentions."
