[Otto: It's clear that this brief battle didn't showcase either of their true strengths, but we can still glean some insights from it.]
Otto began his role as battle commentator.
[Otto: The most striking thing here is undoubtedly the Twilight Paladin Battlesuit, which I personally developed. It not only significantly enhances the user's physical abilities, but its defense is also quite good. It can even summon a Knight's Shadow to fight. One could say it's...]
[Theresa: Grandpa, what are you doing?]
[Otto: I just got a little carried away, Theresa. I think you might do a better job at explaining things than I do. Entrusting the position of Archbishop to you... I've actually always thought that.]
[Theresa: Why are you bringing that up again?]
[Otto: Don't worry about the details, Theresa. Just relax. What you're doing now might already be better than me.]
[Siegfried: I'll say something fair: the little one really does do better than him.]
[Cecilia: In that case, Archbishop Theresa... Haha.]
[Theresa: ... (¯ ― ¯ ٥)]
[Otto: That's good. My granddaughter is naturally better than me.]
[Joyce: Does he always talk like this?]
[Welt Yang: Probably...]
[Otto: My two dear friends, if you had agreed to my request back then, the position of Archbishop of Schicksal might have been yours...]
[Joyce: I still don't think I can trust you.]
[Stelle: I think I can also be competent in this position.]
[Sparkle: Haha, but maybe I can too?]
[March 7th: Why are you two joining the fun? I still want to know what kind of love-hate relationship Uncle Yang has with them... Eh, that doesn't sound quite right.]
[Welt Yang: Alright, if there's a chance, I'll tell you all about it. It's just that the story is a bit convoluted.]
Elysia didn't have time to watch the discussions in the live stream. She had already arrived in a World Bubble within the Sea of Quanta.
Some might ask why she didn't go look for Kevin.
Because the audience in the live stream had triggered a new mission.
[Mission: Find Seele in the Sea of Quanta during this period and talk to her.]
[Reward: Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream, 1000 Lovely Heart Points]
Elysia saw the mission and asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream? What is that?"
[Ai-chan: Please check it yourself after you acquire the item.]
"Alright, alright."
Elysia reluctantly agreed.
She composed herself and began to carefully survey her surroundings, muttering:
"It's so dark... Where is this?"
Elysia thought and recalled relevant knowledge that might exist in her memory.
In the world composed of Aether—the Sea of Quanta—when countless units of energy undergo so-called "fluctuations," ripples are created, forming what are known as "World Bubbles."
Of course, this is a very easy-to-understand explanation; a more specific explanation would be quite difficult to grasp, and she couldn't be bothered to delve deeper.
It was pitch black all around, with rock walls nearby, making it look like some kind of cave.
Elysia gathered crystals in her hand, and a pink glow instantly illuminated the surroundings.
She looked closely and found that this seemed to be an underground waterway.
Elysia slowly walked along the edge of the surrounding rock walls, but as she walked, gradually, there was no more path... Not far away, a girl with blackish-blue hair was sitting on a wooden boat.
Waking up to various bizarre things every time, she had long since gotten used to it.
The surroundings were very dark, which she had also long since gotten used to.
In the past, most of the worlds she had drifted through were pitch black, and sometimes she would even be directly imprisoned, unable to get out for a long time.
Besides "her" who existed within herself... she hadn't seen anyone else for a long time.
Just staying on the boat like this, Seele didn't know how much longer she would have to stay here... And... Bronya Onee-chan, is she doing alright now?
Suddenly, a pink light lit up from the other side of the tunnel. Seele snapped back to reality. She quickly stood up, and the scythe in her hand instantly manifested.
She looked vigilantly in the direction of the light and asked softly, "What's going on?"...
[Bronya: Seele...]
[Seele Vollerei: Bronya Onee-chan...]
[Veliona: Hey, what are you two getting emotional about here? How many years has it been since this happened?]
[Seele (No Surname): Exactly! Although I don't know what happened, why do I feel so uncomfortable watching this?]
[Senti: Alright, the great Lady Senti tells you all, don't be envious!]
[Veliona: You say I'm envious? Huh? Are you, a little brat, asking for a beating again!]
[Senti: Hey, I didn't say anything, did I? You're the one who jumped out.]
[Seele Vollerei: Please, stop it.]
[Fu Hua: Little Senti, you too.]
[Veliona: Hmph...]
[Bronya: @Veliona But honestly, during that time, it was all thanks to you.]
[Seele Vollerei: Yes, if I had understood Yours thoughts sooner...]
