They were surprised that the options for this question included a pair of two, but considering the incredible performance of the Great Honkai Games, they decided to discard all logic for now.
"Although Bronya is not good at ball sports, Bronya will definitely not lose to anyone else... At least those two troublemakers and the idiot Kiana are no match for Bronya!"
Originally, Bronya wanted to confidently claim that even without ball sports, she could still defeat the weaklings in the options based on her regular combat prowess. However, considering one of them was Fu Hua... This immortal, who had lived since the last era and protected Shenzhou for thousands of years, had no confidence that she could compare to her, even in her current state of partial disability. So, she left some wiggle room and didn't make too many promises.
Fu Hua naturally saw this. She was well aware of her own abilities. Although she claimed to be bad at ball sports, she could still master them simply through experience, skill, and physical ability.
However, out of modesty, and also because of her trembling nerves, Fu Hua felt... Feeling a bit shaky, she declined.
"If it's a ball game, I probably wouldn't be a match for Bronya."
Although modest, it also demonstrated Fu Hua's willingness to not compete.
"In that case, I'll leave the choice to you, Bronya."
Bronya's confident demeanor was quite convincing, so the others had no objections. With Theresa taking the lead, the decision was handed over to Bronya.
However, the moment she handed over the right to answer the question, Theresa felt a wave of anxiety, trembling.
A deeply ominous feeling swirled in her heart.
If she remembers correctly, this feeling had appeared in the last question about the magical girl TeRiRi, but Theresa had ignored it then.
And now…
Following her instincts, Theresa looked at the question with a wary expression, then relaxed the next moment.
Oh my god, I'm just scaring myself.
The previous question at least had some connection to me, but look at this one: there's not even a hint of the word Theresa.
How could it possibly be related to me?!
Yes, I'm definitely scaring myself.
Thinking it was impossible, Theresa dismissed the possibility, consoling herself.
"I choose C. Bronya will definitely win!"
Bronya made her choice confidently.
Before, she wouldn't have cared much about this kind of thing, especially since Kiana had matured and rarely argued with her.
But considering the stigma posed by the previous question, Bronya felt she needed a good cleanse to shed the reputation of "the King of Losers"!
[Wrong]
However, this confidence wasn't met with the expected response. The burst of red and the answer immediately sent Bronya's mood plummeting.
[Correct Answer: D. Kiana]
Kiana herself hadn't expected to be the winner of this one-ball-decided game, and she was still a bit stunned.
When she finally understood, she scratched her cheek, surprised. "Me?"
Bronya's face fell, but she didn't show any further reaction. She simply glanced at Kiana, planning to find a random ball game to play against her after she got out. With this thought, which sent a chill down Kiana's spine, she shifted her gaze to the gradually changing screen.
She wanted to see how Kiana had defeated her!
With Kiana in shock, Theresa comforting herself, Bronya staring blankly at the film, and the others gazing at the spectacle, footage of Project Ring began to air.
…
In a certain year after the Honkai, former Bishop Otto of Schicksal announced his abdication.
As the camera panned, an epic narrative unfolded, revealing a desolate city, leaving everyone feeling both heartbroken and bewildered.
Weren't they supposed to play a ball game? Why are they suddenly getting down to business?
The tone has completely changed! Oh my god!
And... Overseer Otto of Schicksal announced his abdication?
At this point, those with a deep grudge against Otto almost applauded, especially Tesla.
However, the following words and scenes made Tesla, a little startled, reveal a look of disbelief.
[At this moment, the world was plunged into a devastating disaster.]
[How can the fleeing people save this world on the brink of destruction?]
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? Without Otto, the world is ruined?! I admit that bastard and his Schicksal are important to this world, but a catastrophic disaster like that is simply impossible!"
Ignoring the image, Tesla half-heartedly acknowledged Otto's abilities and value, then unhesitatingly denied the implication, believing it was an overstatement of Otto's importance.
Einstein nodded, agreeing with Tesla's point.
Even though she knew Otto was indeed an extremely important member of the anti-Honkai faction, she would never consider his existence indispensable.
For this world, there has never been anyone who is indispensable.
Of course, unlike the Anti-Entropy duo who were obsessed with this preface, Theresa felt a chill in her heart at the sight of the abandoned city, but the sense of unease she had previously suppressed through self-comfort only intensified with this strange development.
This point came to a head when a group of TeRiRis appeared in the video, chasing after Higokumaru
"Oh my god!"
Seeing the wide-eyed TeRiRis in the video, chanting "TeRiRi" in unison, Theresa's initial sense of unease was instantly confirmed.
She stared at the swarm of TeRiRis in the video with a deep sense of resentment.
"I was wondering why I feel so bad."
She didn't expect it to be about her again!
"Damn, is this the TeRiRi phenomenon?!"
Watching the video of a group of TeRiRis surrounding Higyokumaru, then using their intimidating electric eyes to assimilate her, turning Higyokumaru into a TeRiRi monster, Tesla was dumbfounded, she grumbled.
"How come these Theresas are acting like the zombies in the movie theater?"
Tesla's first sentence was met with a glare from Theresa, and everyone present who had seen zombie movies seemed to agree with her next statement.
Based on their actions, these TeRiRis certainly looked like... zombies.
"Bang!"
The video just progressed to the scene where Kiana knocked down a TeRiRis with a baseball bat.
Seeing this, Theresa's veins bulged. She glanced up at Kiana.
Although she knew she was being persecuted, seeing how quickly Kiana had dealt with her...
Although it looked a bit like a zombie and a bit foolish, it was still related to her. Theresa naturally felt a pang of discomfort.
Kiana, of course, spread her hands innocently. It wasn't her who hit her.
