"I also don't know what that is. The only thing I can be sure of is, it is humanity's enemy." Einstein's tone was still calm, but Bronya could feel the guilt deep in her heart.
"Walter helped me escape the Sea of Quanta, but he chose to stay there and continue fighting the unknown enemy."
"Then have you thought about rescuing him?" Bronya asked the question she wanted to ask the most.
"With Anti-Entropy's current technology, we are unable to bring someone out of the Sea of Quanta."
At this point, a trace of frustration appeared on Einstein's face, but her absolute rationality made her quickly recover.
"Moreover, acting rashly might cause trouble for Walter... Right, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"It's nothing, I just care a little."
As if she saw through Bronya's lack of sincerity, Einstein advised, "Don't hold any illusions about the Sea of Quanta. That is not a domain we can currently touch."
Bronya nodded to show she understood, then turned and left.
Watching Bronya's departing figure, Einstein knew that what she had just said probably didn't really enter the girl's ears.
Therefore, to prevent tragedy from happening again, she must work even harder to unravel the mysteries of the Sea of Quanta.
On the other side, after leaving the command bridge, Bronya stared blankly at the Abyss City outside the window.
In her mind, she kept recalling what Grey Serpent had said in the virtual data space.
'Grey Serpent said they had the ability to retrieve Seele. Could this really be true?'
'If World Serpent really has the ability to find someone from the Sea of Quanta, then wouldn't Van also be possible to...'
Thinking of this, Bronya shook her head and threw out the absurd idea from her mind.
"Things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. I should believe in Dr. Einstein... right?"
———
[Okay, okay, Bronya's going to be a traitor now, huh?]
[Sasuke!]
[Naruto!]
[I'm a duck on the board, come on, have some sense! World Serpent isn't good people!]
[What the heck is 'board duck'?]
[Duck board + Bronya = ?]
[Bronya: Posing as little bunny, Fire!!!]

[Back to the video.]
[Late at night, Abyss City.]
"Abyss City is showing abnormal fluctuations. What happened?"
Seeing the system alert, Einstein decided to remotely operate a drone to go investigate the anomaly.
When Einstein controlled the drone to arrive at the abnormal location, she unexpectedly discovered Cocolia talking with a mysterious person.
Just as Einstein tried to control the drone to get closer, the image transmitted back by the drone suddenly cut off.
Then came a burst of static.
Ssszz~
"We've been discovered! Sechs has been captured."
At the moment the drone lost connection, Einstein immediately prepared to report this to Theresa.
However, what Einstein didn't notice was that while she was fully focused on contacting Theresa, a mysterious figure had already silently appeared behind her.
Bang!
"Ugh..."
The sound of a trigger being pulled rang out, and Einstein fell to the ground.
A familiar voice appeared in the video feed.
"Being cautious is a valuable quality. Knowing to hide in a safe place is also a sign of wisdom. But Einstein, you still made a mistake, caution is a scientist's virtue, not a virtue a spy should have..."
As the camera angle changed, Grey Serpent's blood-red eyes appeared in the frame.
"In this world, where is there really any safe place~?"
Under the stunned gazes of viewers, the video suddenly went black as the intense background music ended.
———
[Grey Serpent, that sneaky old rat pulling a surprise attack!]
[Damn it, and we lost a top general before things even began]
[Einstein is gone, then who will go to the Sea of Quanta now!]
———
[Back to the video.]
The next day, Einstein's disappearance made Theresa and the others extremely anxious.
Just as Theresa didn't know what to do, Bronya suddenly rushed in.
"Principal, Bronya just checked Dr. Einstein's room, there's no one inside. But there was a message left on her computer screen."
"What message?" Theresa asked urgently.
"It's a series of complex equations, along with a message from Dr. Einstein."
[I have already located the position of the leader. I've decided to enter the Sea of Quanta first...]
Looking at the message Einstein left on the screen, both Theresa and Bronya showed doubtful expressions. Because just yesterday, Einstein had told them that she was afraid her rash actions might cause trouble for Walter. Then why would she now go alone into the Sea of Quanta?
"I can't believe Einstein would act alone and leave us behind. Something must have happened to her."
Before the two could analyze further, Bronya detected intense Honkai reactions from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
"Principal, all the Honkai Beasts in the sea are moving toward Abyss City!"
"Honkai Beasts? Could it be..."
Thinking of this, Theresa immediately rushed with Bronya toward Abyss City.
Just as they entered the city, they encountered none other than Cocolia.
"Theresa... Bronya...?"
"Cocolia, what did you do! Why did the Honkai Beasts suddenly start attacking Abyss City?"
Facing Theresa's questioning, Cocolia also showed an angry expression and said, "I should be the one asking you! The Abyss Core was activated, the Honkai Beasts were attracted by it!"
"The Sea of Quanta entrance was opened?" Bronya asked.
Thinking about the possibility that Einstein had gone alone into the dangerous Sea of Quanta, Theresa grew extremely anxious.
Staring at Cocolia blocking her way, Theresa's eyes were practically burning with fire.
She clenched her fists, voice filled with barely contained anger, "Cocolia, move! I don't have time to argue with you!"
Cocolia crossed her arms and sneered, "Theresa, you want to go die, I don't care. But Bronya, I won't allow you to go. Tens of thousands of Honkai Beasts are flooding toward the Abyss Core. Schicksal will not sit idly by. Staying here means certain death. We've already decided to give up on this place. Bronya, come with us..."
Facing Cocolia's obstruction, Bronya's voice was firm, "Bronya still has something she must do."
"What can you do? Listen to me, get out of here now!"
"Bronya... refuses! Dr. Einstein is a companion. Bronya cannot just watch her fall into danger. And... in the Sea of Quanta, is the person Bronya treasures most."
Cocolia's face instantly turned grim. She stared at Bronya, her voice trembling. "Bronya, do you even know how dangerous it is in there? You have no idea what you'll face!"
"Mother Cocolia, Bronya is no longer a child... she hasn't been for a long time."
