It was obvious now.
That was the name of the next challenge.
Bronya didn't speak, but her rapid breathing showed that her emotions were unstable.
In the last Angel Reconstruction challenge, at the end, she had killed the Judgement-level Honkai Beast Trallok; as for what happened after that, she knew nothing.
Did they get out of the Sea of Quanta?
Did they encounter Kevin?
Did they successfully save Seele?
These questions were like maggots clinging to bones, entangling Bronya's heart and refusing to dissipate for a long time.
Now, the answers could finally be found.
In the very next challenge!
At this time, Rozaliya had not yet recovered from the scenes she had just seen.
The hand she held with Liliya trembled incessantly, as if she had suffered a stroke.
In her eyes, there was both pride in Bronya killing the giant Honkai Beast and curiosity about that Thunder Empress and the Flamescion Queen.
There was also the mortal who was all alone and finally sank into the sea of clouds, making one's nose tingle with sadness.
She had never seen such images; they were more real than movies, as if they had actually happened!
Each one was a hero, and the 100% immersive experience was just too good!
Finally, after three minutes, Rozaliya let out a long breath and exclaimed, "Sister Bronya, when did you guys go to film a movie? It's simply—too beautiful!"
"It's just a bit short, and the story content isn't very complete. Are you showing us this to invite the Vodka Girls to star in it?"
"...Rozaliya, this might not be a movie."
Liliya saw some clues and whispered a reminder in her ear.
Except for Yae Sakura and Rin, who were also very shocked.
The expressions of the people around them, besides nostalgia, were more of careful observation, hoping to find details they hadn't seen before.
Of course, useful information had already been dug out long ago, so they just treated it as watching a memoir.
They asked the space what this was but received no answer; it was probably something like an achievement record?
Yae Sakura murmured softly, "It's truly surprising; you've actually experienced so many things."
"Compared to yours, my story is far too brief."
Beside her, Yae Rin pinched her sleeves and stealthily poked her little face with pink hair out, peeking in Yunduo's direction.
However, when she noticed Yunduo's puzzled gaze, Rin's cheeks turned a bit red, like ripe red persimmons.
She retracted her neck, and her palms broke into a sweat.
After three seconds, Yae Rin took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and gave the bewildered Yunduo a brilliant smile.
"Rin, don't disturb others."
Yae Sakura said after seeing this, feeling a sense of gloom in her heart.
"I know, Sister, but Sister Yunduo isn't an 'other'; Rin wants to go see the cherry blossoms with her."
"...The cherry blossoms have already withered now."
"Eh~ then let's go see the withered cherry blossoms together."
Without seeing Yae Sakura's bitter face, Yunduo's little finger was grabbed by Bronya.
"What's wrong, Bronya?"
Yunduo rubbed the bridge of her nose and suddenly noticed Bronya's restless gray eyes.
To coax her before, she had even gone and played the role of Miss Homu once.
She also promised the Class Monitor Fu Hua many small requests, such as helping her pull cards and whatnot.
She really didn't know why the Immortal's luck was so bad; she said she wanted to understand modern society from games and such... "The next mission is'Seele'."
Bronya hesitated for a second, then looked up at Yunduo and said softly.
"Seele? It should be the next scene following the previous challenge, right? What happened after Bronya killed Trallok."
"Don't worry, the future in the space can all be changed."
Yunduo rubbed the top of Bronya's head and then pinched her little cheek.
Ending their respective conversations, everyone gathered around.
Rozaliya's eyes sparkled; Fu Hua had just explained the existence of the Challenge Space to her.
She now knew that this was a special space that could predict the future and grant rewards.
To Yunduo's left was Bronya, and Rin and Yae Sakura stood on her right.
In the center was the think-tank Class Monitor Fu Hua, and the self-proclaimed deputy think-tank Headmaster Theresa.
Seemingly preparing for the upcoming challenge, no one spoke.
The atmosphere was silent, faintly revealing a serious vibe.
But suddenly, Rozaliya's uncontrollable words broke the solemn atmosphere:
"Start, start quickly! Rozaliya wants to see Sister Bronya ride her little motorcycle, vroom vroom~"
Theresa cleared her throat, took out a pair of black rimless glasses from her small pocket, put them on, and faced everyone.
"In that case, let our... which number challenge is this again, begin." She had suddenly forgotten some things.
"Headmaster, if we count Miss Yae Sakura's special challenge, it's actually the seventh time."
Fu Hua added speechlessly.
Theresa wasn't shy; instead, she acted solemn and explained some necessary matters to everyone.
Of course, it was mainly for the Rozaliya sisters and the Yae Sakura sisters.
After saying this, Theresa was urged by Rozaliya to start the seventh challenge.
"Ding! The Seventh Act Challenge: Seele, begins!"
"Background Hint: To leave the Sea of Quanta, the Serpent deceived Seele, making her and Bronya together dismantle the labyrinth blocking the Sea of Quanta and the real world. Seele defeated Bronya, but Joachim brought her the herrscher core, officially becoming the third-generation Herrscher of Reason. Bronya continued deeper, until the end of the deep sea."
Everyone nodded unconsciously; this hint was the main content of the last challenge.
Only Rozaliya was full of shock, screaming incessantly.
"Dozens of days ago, on the Far East border, Cocolia, who had been partially subverted by the World Serpent during the infiltration process, reached a deal with Gray Serpent to open the Sea of Quanta Eye and hand over the gem of desire in exchange for Seele."
"However, Cocolia's betrayal was detected by Einstein. Gray Serpent took Einstein away. Bronya's unknown fate enraged Cocolia, who then threatened Gray Serpent, only to be heavily wounded by him, barely clinging to life."
"Gray Serpent injected himself with Honkai Energy factors and transformed into a Honkai Beast. The Rozaliya sisters are in dire peril!"
"At the same time, within the Sea of Quanta, Seele, controlled by Kevin, entered a World Bubble created by Kevin and became lost in endless worlds..."
"Challenge Objective 1: Find the truth about the Twelfth Herrscher!"
"Challenge Objective 2: Escape the Sea of Quanta with Bronya!"
Everyone finished reading the background prompts.
When she saw that Cocolia had been subverted by the World Serpent, Tesla shouted loudly, "I knew Cocolia was up to no good, actually handing over the gem of desire to the World Serpent!"
Hearing this, no one refuted Tesla.
Bronya and the Rozaliya sisters looked at the prompts in disbelief, murmuring a repetition. "Mama Cocolia did it for Seele-niichan?"
