Chapter 58 - Chapter 3: Brain Chip

Bronya, controlled by the brain chip, had combat power that was completely incomparable to her conscious state.

While under chip control, she wouldn't make mistakes due to personal emotions or subjective consciousness, but she also lost the ability to adapt flexibly and her well-honed techniques.

In her controlled state, Bronya could maximize the power of Project Bunny 19C, and Project Bunny 19C's power was also extremely strong. Although the time she had it wasn't long, this robot-like quantum entity was undoubtedly stronger than any mecha.

And at this moment…

This invincible Project Bunny 19C had turned into a literal small bunny.

Although it was entirely made of metal, its appearance looked like a rabbit no matter how you looked at it.

"If it's you, then it's a cat."

Cocolia, on the other end, found her connection with Bronya severed before she even understood what was happening.

"Wow! So cute!"

After Kiana dealt with the mecha, she immediately snatched the gray cat Takatsuki was holding.

The gray cat struggled constantly in Kiana's hands, but how could a mere cat compare to the monstrous strength of the Kaslana Family?

"Takatsuki, she's an enemy, right? Why did you turn her into this? Is it to punish her?"

Kiana had also borrowed the Monkey Talisman from Takatsuki to play with many times before, so she was no stranger to its power.

"She was just being controlled earlier, but it seems becoming an animal has freed her?"

Looking at Bronya, who was no longer stiff and mechanical after turning into a cat, Takatsuki stroked his chin, then looked at Mei, who was walking over, and said, "She has a chip in her brain. That chip was used to control her and attack us."

"How could this be? Controlling such a young child…"

Mei covered her mouth.

"So, I want to destroy that chip in her brain."

"Destroy? But do we have that ability?"

Hearing Mei's question, Takatsuki smiled, "Have you forgotten the power we wield?"

Takatsuki raised his hand, and golden, arc-like light pulsed on it.

"Hamon?"

Mei blinked, looking at the familiar aura on Takatsuki's hand. Mei and Kiana also knew Hamon, but only to a limited extent. Hamon not only required talent but also long-term arduous training.

The two had naturally learned Hamon to prepare for their battle with Dio.

However, their mastery and utilization of its properties were far from enough.

"Hamon, it has a history of over four thousand years. Its existence is not merely for dealing with a vampire or two. Hamon is the power of the body, and also the power of miracles. Just believe in Hamon! Moreover, we have Mei here, don't we?"

Takatsuki silently switched his character card to Will Zeppelin. In terms of Hamon, no one Takatsuki knew had techniques that could surpass this Hamon user, who was the first to appear in the story.

"En! Takatsuki, go ahead and do it, I'll take care of the rest!"

Takatsuki nodded and looked at Kiana, "Kiana, hold her down. I'm going to change her back."

"Leave it to me!"

Kiana took off her jacket and spread it on the ground, pressing the cat, which had been struggling since earlier, onto the jacket.

Takatsuki reached out and pressed his hand on the cat's head. The cat, originally only palm-sized, transformed into a gray-haired girl with a flash of light.

Kiana also switched from single-handedly restraining the cat to using both hands and feet, pressing her whole body onto Bronya's back.

"Who are you? Why are you holding Bronya?"

After turning back into a human, Bronya became calmer. She emotionlessly raised her small head, the only part she could move under Takatsuki's hand, and looked at Takatsuki, who was squatting in front of her, and Mei, who was standing by, ready with her Crazy Diamond.

However, she couldn't see Crazy Diamond; she could only see Mei next to her.

"You little squirt, you attacked us first!"

Kiana immediately retorted loudly upon hearing Bronya's words, "We haven't even asked you why you attacked us!"

"Impossible, Bronya has no such memory."

"What did you say!"

Kiana wanted to say more, but Takatsuki interrupted her, "Alright, Kiana, she has no memory when she's controlled. It'll be fine once I destroy the chip in her brain."

"Wait, you can't destroy Bronya's brain chip."

"Huh? You little squirt, what do you want to say this time?"

Bronya ignored Kiana's questioning. She clearly saw that Takatsuki was the leader and said to him, "Bronya's emotional circuit is damaged, and her legs are injured. Without the brain chip, she cannot move."

"Takatsuki…"

Mei looked at Takatsuki upon hearing this, "Is what she says true?"

"Yes, she's not lying. But it's a small problem that you, Mei, can solve."

He nodded and placed his hands on Bronya's head, "Just be careful not to fix the chip along with it later."

Taking a deep breath, air entered his lungs, then his bloodstream, and a strange Hamon was born from his blood.

"Hamon Overdrive!"

Bronya stared in astonishment as golden light bloomed from the hands pressed against her head. She could feel something permeating her brain, but to her surprise, this infiltrating power didn't make her feel uncomfortable.

Instead, it brought a strange sense of comfort, like basking in the warm winter sun.

Crack…

It sounded like something shattered.

Bronya knew it was the sound of the chip breaking, but unexpectedly, the anticipated pain from the brain chip's destruction didn't occur. However, Bronya also felt that she had completely lost connection with her leg armor.

"Alright, Mei, the rest is up to you. It went smoother than expected, no damage caused."

Feeling that his objective was achieved, Takatsuki released his hands and immediately said to Mei, who was beside him.

Nodding, Crazy Diamond placed one hand on Bronya's head and the other on her leg.

A strange light, visible only to the three Stand users, slowly enveloped Bronya.

Because she needed to perfectly restore her, Mei did not rush the recovery speed but instead used the most stable method to completely repair the damage in Bronya's brain and legs.

"Done."

"Kiana, let her go."

Kiana nodded and slowly released Bronya. Bronya didn't try to escape immediately; after all, she knew she couldn't escape from the three people in front of her. However, she also didn't plan to escape, as she still remembered her goal: to reclaim the Herrscher of Thunder, Raiden Mei.

She had already recognized that the person who had just seemingly healed her was Raiden Mei, and she was curious why the other party looked so normal and nothing like a Herrscher.

But she knew she should approach the other party now.

"Is your name Bronya? I've healed you. Try to Stand up?"

Mei half-squatted beside Bronya and said.

Healed? Even Cocolia Mama's advanced technology couldn't heal it, and he just touched her and said she was healed?

Bronya frowned, feeling a wave of displeasure at their flippancy, but quickly noticed something was wrong.

Wasn't her emotional circuit damaged!?

Why did she still feel this way?
