The rest of the night passed in silence.
Early the next morning, before dawn.
With no Valkyries roaming the Academy, they simply ate breakfast.
Yunduo and Bronya arrived early at the storage room in the corner of the Academy.
Neither of them had any more worries; all anxieties had vanished overnight.
Everyone else arrived quickly, and within minutes, the assembly was complete.
With a flash of white light, everyone was teleported into the Challenge Space.
"Ding! Act Six Challenge: Angel Reconstruction begins!"
"Background Hint: Four months after the Great Collapse, Theresa and her group set out for the Deep Sea City."
"Cocolia sent a transmission requesting cooperation, explaining that Otto's goal is to find the four gems. However, the gem of desire has always been in Cocolia's hands. She hopes to transfer the gem with the help of Theresa's group to sabotage Otto's plan."
"After a vote, it was decided to split up. Theresa, Bronya, and Einstein would take the Hyperion to the Deep Sea City to transfer the gem of desire, while Mei and Tesla would take the Helios transport ship back to Anti-Entropy Headquarters to find a way to reawaken the Humanoid Machines and thus locate Kiana."
"Bronya's group arrived above the Mariana Islands in the West Pacific. On a small island, they encountered an interference source. There, Bronya met her childhood friends from the Orphanage, Rozaliya Olenyeva and Liliya Olenyeva. The two had been severely injured in a Honkai Beast attack, and Cocolia had a doctor implant parts of Honkai Beasts into them to save their lives."
"Led by the two, everyone arrived at the Deep Sea City 6,152 meters under the sea. Unexpectedly, to force the group to protect her retreating troops, Cocolia threw the gem of desire into the Sea of Quantas Eye to stall for time."
"Bronya's group had no choice but to stay at the Sea of Quantas Eye and wait for Einstein to salvage the gem."
"While locating the gem, Einstein discovered that Cocolia had some kind of deal with Gray Serpent, but she was immediately discovered, her secret exposed, and Gray Serpent knocked her unconscious and took her away."
"The Sea of Quantas Eye went berserk, and Honkai Beasts swarmed frantically. Theresa was forced to unleash the power of the Blood Knight: Muramasa, stimulating the Vishnu genes within her body..."
Everyone who saw this fell into deep shock!
They didn't expect this challenge mission to follow the timeline after the previous Final Lesson.
In the four months after the Great Collapse, so many things had actually happened.
First was Cocolia; as one of the executives of Anti-Entropy and the leader of the Anti-Entropy Reformists, she was actually cooperating with Schicksal's Far East Branch.
The goal was to sabotage Otto's plan?!!
In other words, the future Far East Branch completely defected from Schicksal Headquarters and cooperated with Einstein's faction of Anti-Entropy.
At this moment, Rita's expression was uncertain; she hadn't expected the relationship between the Far East Branch and Schicksal Headquarters to have deteriorated to such an extent.
They would even enter the mysterious and dangerous Deep Sea City just to sabotage Otto's plans.
One could imagine just how much they hated Otto.
Causing Himeko's death, Kiana's painful struggle and disappearance, Fu Hua's death at Otto's gun... almost everyone at St. Freya Academy was filled with resentment because of what Otto had done.
Although the future Kiana was indeed found, she had also gone through various hardships, growing to her limits under extreme pressure.
Thinking about it this way, the Far East Branch's defection from Schicksal was understandable.
After all, Anti-Entropy was originally a part of Schicksal, having broken away only because of a disagreement in philosophy.
However, if Otto knew that the Far East Branch's space held the possibility of resurrecting the dead, he would definitely take action.
After knowing the future's direction and understanding his true nature, how would the people within this space react?
Glancing secretly at the people around her, almost all of them were Herrschers.
Rita felt a bit out of her depth.
Damn!
This job is impossible!
At this time, Kiana didn't notice Rita's reaction and just curiously asked Tesla, "What is this Deep Sea City?"
Hearing this, Tesla thought for a moment before explaining:
"The Deep Sea City is a remnant left behind after the Previous Era was swallowed by a quasi-black hole. The Sea of Quantas Eye within it has the ability to connect to the Sea of Quanta at specific times. As for the Sea of Quanta, it is the intersection of multiple parallel worlds, filled with extraordinary dangers; once you enter, it is very difficult to return."
"Sea of Quanta... I think I've heard that name before. What's it for again?" Kiana asked blankly.
Seeing this, Bronya sighed, seemingly lamenting her intelligence, and said, "Everything in the universe is composed of quanta, and quanta possess uncertainty."
"When a quantum is observed, it collapses into a specific universe from countless parallel universes in different states. This is the famous Many-Worlds Interpretation in quantum physics."
"The Deep Sea City is one of the Previous Era ruins under Anti-Entropy's jurisdiction, so it's normal for Kiana not to know. But the Sea of Quanta—I've told you about it before, haven't I?"
"Really? By the way, how does Bronya know all this so clearly?"
Kiana scratched the bridge of her nose and continued asking.
Hearing this, Bronya was at a loss for words.
How did she know so clearly?
The answer, of course, was the person deep within the Sea of Quanta... Noticing Bronya's abnormality, Yunduo stroked her hair and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid. We'll know the result in a moment."
"If this challenge goes smoothly, we can actively head to the Sea of Quanta based on everything that happens in the space and chase that person back. Bronya, you think so too, right?"
"Bronya understands."
The topic shifted to Fu Hua: "Bronya, were you raised in an Orphanage? Using a Honkai Beast's body for treatment, this method is somewhat similar to—"
"It's a bit similar to Schicksal's method. However, I was infused with the genes of the Emperor-Level Honkai Beast 'Vishnu,' while they used the Honkai Beast's body directly. Comparatively, their method is definitely more dangerous."
Theresa took over the conversation and spoke with concern.
"Rozaliya, and Liliya." Bronya softly muttered the two names, finding them familiar yet awkward.
It had been a long time since she had seen them, ever since she left the Orphanage.
As everyone continued watching, they were astonished when they saw the background context: Cocolia threw the gem of desire into the Sea of Quantas Eye to buy time, allowing the group to protect her retreating troops.
However.
They didn't say anything.
This was because Bronya was beside them, and Cocolia was related to her.
Until the end.
The background prompt stated that the Sea of Quantas Eye went rampant, Honkai Beasts gathered madly, and Theresa was forced to release the power of Blood Knight: Muramasa, activating the Vishnu gene within her body.
The first one to react, naturally, was Theresa, whose blue eyes widened!
She was instantly dumbfounded.
Since when?
Did her Execution Armor: Violet Executioner, this Valkyrie battlesuit that was practically uselessly weak, actually have another function?
