Chapter 236 - Chapter 235: The Last Incident in Nagazora

Originally, Bronie just wanted to give it a try.

It was like an accidental achievement, and she hadn't expected the Herrscher of Sentience to be born while Fu Hua was busy in the Stigmata Space.

However, this accidental success did achieve the result Bronie wanted.

Although she had never contacted Prometheus 17, the other party seemed to have sensed her thoughts and locked the birth of the Herrscher of Sentience onto Fu Hua.

Having dealt with Fenghuang Down for many years, Fu Hua's body was long familiar with the operation of consciousness, almost like the Ultra Instinct. Even in an unconscious state, she could still perform incredible feats.

In addition to her 50,000 years of experience, even though most of the content had been forgotten, these memories were still etched into Fu Hua's body.

Therefore, Fu Hua's body could be considered the best material for the Herrscher of Sentience to descend.

However, the Herrscher of Sentience that was born from scratch entered Fu Hua's body, and her soul that originally as blank as paper was instantly tinted by Fu Hua's 50,000-year-old memories.

Although her personality was definitely different from Fu Hua's, the newly born Herrscher of Sentience didn't realize this issue.

She only felt that everything in this world was a little novel, but somehow familiar in her memory.

Had she experienced it?

It seemed like she hadn't.

Observing the world from a different perspective was fundamentally different from perceiving the world through Fu Hua's viewpoint.

Therefore, the newly born Herrscher of Sentience was in a particularly good mood.

However, Fu Hua's state alarmed Elysia.

"Oh! Hua, what happened? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"You took the wrong medicine! I'm fine! Bronie's Nagazora plan is amazing. It's also thanks to Bronie that Rin was pulled back from such a bad state. Now, Sakura will definitely be very happy when she returns!"

Elysia didn't know what to say. She couldn't see what was wrong with Fu Hua. She just instinctively felt that the girl in front of her who looked exactly like Fu Hua was definitely not Fu Hua.

"Who are you?"

"Hey!? Another Fu Hua appeared!"

This is the realm of consciousness space. When Fu Hua returned from Yae Sakura's stigmata space, she clearly felt that some force was preventing her from coming back.

As a result, she returned a little late, and another person appeared, ready to replace her!

"That's not Fu Hua; it's just the consciousness I separated with Fenghuang Down! And why did you suddenly appear here without permission? Don't be so naughty!"

"Stop, stop, stop! This is not a bad thing. Fu Hua, don't be too vigilant. Although I feel a little sorry for you, but this matter is actually... also part of my plan. It's kind of... how should I say, an unintentional planting?"

After hearing Bronie's words, Fu Hua grew more doubtful.

But the Herrscher of Sentience is different. She always speaks directly if she has any questions.

"What? This is part of the plan? What does 'unintentional planting" mean? Are you calculating me?"

"Calculate? No, this isn't a calculation. I just go with the flow and reasonably promote what is likely to happen in the future. And then, this one, welcome to this world."

"Huh? What are you kidding about? I don't understand any of your jokes!"

The Herrscher of Sentience was a little panicked. She searched through the memories in her mind, making sure that these were things she had experienced.

Although she seemed a little naive in the past, she had figured out many things now, and her attitude toward the future had changed.

But before she could change much, Bronie suddenly saw through her.

"Welcome to this world? Does this mean that I am fake?

"Fu Hua has been in contact with Fenghuang Down for many years, and her body has long been familiar with the Power of Sentience. It's the most suitable body for the Herrscher of Sentience. Moreover, she has the vitality of Garuda, like the phoenix, and the memory hidden in her body has a very strong influence on a new Herrscher."

"Herrscher? Herrscher of Sentience? That's interesting!"

Elysia's eyes lit up when she heard Bronie say this.

Seeing Elysia staring at her, the Herrscher of Sentience suddenly felt uneasy all over.

"I'm the Herrscher? Your whole family is the Herrscher! Why do you think I am the Herrscher instead of that girl? Is it because she speaks less!"

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with the Herrscher. As long as they don't spread the Honkai, don't destroy human civilization, and don't kill people at will, they are a powerful existence. Moreover, the Herrscher of Sentience, which exists as a meme, has greater freedom. When traveling in the universe, they can even ignore most harsh environments."

But in Fu Hua's mind, the Herrscher was the enemy of humanity, and they needed to be eliminated.

Although the SWARA didn't appear in the Herrscher of Sentience's mind, her concept of Fu Hua's appearance, which had been overwritten by Fu Hua's 50,000 years of memory, also aligned with Fu Hua's inner thoughts.

"You..."

The Herrscher of Sentience wanted to deny it, but then she remembered Bronie's attitude toward Kiana and Mei.

"I..."

Her mind raced to find words, trying to express the tangled emotions in her heart at that moment.

Then...

"You are sick! No, you are also sick! This is your attitude after the Herrscher was born? Why?

Why would you believe it!"

Looking at Elysia's smiling face, the Herrscher of Sentience truly didn't know how to face them.

Yes, she did believe what Bronie said.

The sincere words, the joyful mood that wasn't concealed. Although there was still a bit of vigilance and worry, there was absolutely no hostility.

As for Fu Hua?

The real Fu Hua was still uncertain, but after much vigilance, she chose to believe what Bronie said.

"Isn't it good? I believe in Fu Hua, and I also believe in the path and determination that Fu Hua has followed all this time. Although there are many choices that may seem wrong from your perspective, I always believe that Fu Hua will not hurt others."

The best way to deal with tsunderes is sincerity.

Although the Herrscher of Sentience isn't a tsundere, her heart is still very active.

She didn't know how to face this fact, didn't know who she was, and had countless doubts in her heart.

But Bronie's actions directly hit the Herrscher of Sentience's weak spot.

This was very difficult for a stranger. The memories of the past didn't belong to her, and now the Herrscher of Sentience was trusted so much in such a chaotic situation.

Although this trust still comes from trust in Fu Hua.

"So, I am a Herrscher, right?"

"Do you want me to give you a name? To celebrate your new life, or how about just calling you Senti? Don't worry about who you are, and there's no need to be Fu Hua. Fu Hua is not everything to you, and a better future is waiting for you!"

"Senti? That sounds good! Hey, Elysia, don't hug me suddenly!"

"No! Senti is too cute! How can I resist this? Come here, let me hug you and take a good look at you~"

Another Herrscher was born! And this Herrscher also has human nature and has not caused much harm to human civilization! This is the best gift from God to Elysia!

"Ellie is afraid you'll run away because you can't get over it, but I'm not too worried. The next issue is the physical problem. I'll have Mobius clone a body for you. Of course, I can make some minor adjustments. Let me know what kind of body you want. If you don't mind, you can stay in Fenghuang Down for the time being. If you don't like it, it's okay to put it in my head."

"Clone the body? That seems like a good choice, but let's talk about it later. I don't want to stay in Fenghuang Down and the old antique for too long. I always feel that the old antique life isn't suitable for me. If you don't mind letting me live in yours, I really want to try it!"

She didn't expect that Bronie who is usually so mysterious would really let her live in her brain. This great trust still makes Senti a little flattered.

From Fu Hua's perspective, Bronie isn't the kind of person who trusts others so easily. She usually appears insecure. It's said to be a habit she developed during her mercenary days, one that she can't change in her life.

But even in this situation, Bronie is still willing to do this.

And of course, Senti would buy into this. Bronie has a clear conscience about it.

"Do you really not mind?"

"I'm worried that if you stay in my mind too long, you might dislike some of the thoughts that may appear in my mind, especially since I usually live with Elysia. Will you get bored?"

"Well, probably not!"

Obviously, Senti didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all. This was a mistake she won't know until it's too late.

But it doesn't matter!

"Since it's all settled, please give me more advice in the future!"

In the end, Senti's destination was decided happily.

Fu Hua was silent for a moment and finally decided not to change Bronie and Senti's decision.

From Senti's attitude toward herself, it could be seen that she might not like some of the practices in her memories too much. And when she called herself an "antique," Fu Hua suddenly realized that although she and Senti may share some common memories, their concepts could differ, and a generation gap might arise soon.

If they're destined to quarrel and accidentally cause Honkai, that would be too bad.

"By the way! Can Dr. Mobius really make some adjustments to my new body?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Bronie looked at Senti strangely.

"I want to make this place bigger. Not too big, just more normal than the malnourished size of the old antique. What do you think?"

Very good. Fu Hua's fist clenched!

"Hahaha! Of course, but there are still memetic life forms similar to you in the universe. To be honest, their attitude toward their own bodies isn't very good. They believe that after losing their body, their spirit is truly free. Although I can't feel that way, I believe it's not groundless, right?"

"Real freedom? This is an interesting concept. Then I have to think carefully about whether to prepare a body, but this can wait! After leaving Nagazora, I want to experience the games made by Bronie!"

Then Senti stretched, creating a pillow next to her, and lay down very relaxedly.

"Ahem, well, the plan to induce the birth of the Herrscher of Sentience was unexpectedly successful. Fu Hua, Rin will be handed over to you. Bring her to Sakura. I'll take care of Senti. I promise to give her a happy and comfortable life. She has your memories, so don't worry about her sense of right and wrong being too different from humans."

The words Fu Hua wanted to say to teach Senti were on her lips but couldn't be said. Fu Hua looked at the familiar face again with a little worry. It's hard to imagine that she would do such a thing.

It turns out that they're not the same kind of people after all.

However...

Bronie also educated an excellent child like Bronya. Perhaps Bronie knows how to educate children better than she does.

The Herrscher of Sentience looks about the same age as herself, but in fact, she was born less than ten minutes ago. She has all her memories, so she's confused about her identity.

Bronie pointed this out as quickly as possible. Even the Herrscher of Sentience hasn't doubted her future, and Bronie completely dispelled all reasons for doubt.

Then they planned to celebrate the rebirth of the Herrscher of Sentience. Seeing how happy Elysia was, Fu Hua decided not to spoil the fun.

It just so happened that she still had to talk to Mobius and Vill-V about this matter to see what their attitudes toward the Herrscher of Sentience were.

Finally, she left a feather for Bronie, having done almost everything she could.

"Then... goodbye, big sister. Can I come back to live with you in the future?"

Rin was also a little reluctant. She had made up her mind to stay with Bronie, but it didn't take long before they had to separate again.

Bronie nodded and responded, "The Golden Courtyard will always welcome you, but Sakura misses you very much, so go to Sakura to report your safety first, and then consider where to live in the future, okay?"

"Yes! No problem, big sister!"

"Also, if Mobius asks you to do some research, help out a little without hurting yourself!"

"Yes! No problem, big sister!"
