Chapter 132

"You're despicable, but you're still the system."

MEI was reluctant to have a major conflict with the system. It was his own system, and he hadn't fully understood it yet. For now, he had to coexist with it.

If the relationship so sours that they can't work together, this guy could really be the best sixth man.

If you keep dragging yourself down and making things difficult for yourself, then there's really nothing you can do.

Mei is not afraid of death, but she is unwilling to die for no reason.

"So what exactly are you trying to say?" The system was a little unsure of what MEI was trying to say.

What was she trying to do, almost risking her life? Just to talk to me about this? That's it? That's all? No way!

"I want to know two things," MEI said. "First, how did you manage to concentrate all the Honkai Beast's hatred on me? Second, how did you make Siegfried so fanatical about me?"

"Actually, it's one thing," the system said. "This is the effect of the halo."

This time, the system didn't choose to hide it and just said it would explain the matter. If it can't come up with a reasonable explanation now, MEI certainly won't let it go.

Since MEI has chosen to talk now, it means that we can still cooperate well.

The system also doesn't want to become completely uncooperative.

"What is that?" MEI asked, showing some interest.

"You can understand it literally," the system explained. "To be precise, it's not exactly an aura, but a buff."

"You know what a buff is, right?"

"Of course I know," MEI said. "It's the buff, like increasing attack power, right? Hmm, you gave them an aura of fanaticism towards me?"

"Idiot-degrading?"

Anyway, MEI doesn't feel that Siegfried was very smart before.

"Yes and no," the system said. "If you're talking about lowering IQ, that's not entirely true. I can't lower their IQ."

"This halo's power isn't about lowering intelligence! Besides, I can't do this myself."

"I only inspired courage from the side."

"Courage?" MEI asked.

"Yes," the system said. "You should know that emotions are related to hormones. And emotions can also affect a person's thinking and subconscious."

"For example, Siegfried, I don't need to lower his intelligence or directly affect his thinking."

"Siegfried still has deep feelings for Cecilia."

"I only need to exert a little influence."

"He took it personally."

"..." MEI didn't speak. Judging from Siegfried's current reaction, he did seem to be in that situation. After the initial frenzy, he entered Sage Time, engaging in self-examination after the initial fervor.

Therefore, the system did not speak.

"Then how do you make me the target while keeping others from becoming the target?" MEI asked again.

"It's very simple," the system said. "I just need to cast an Akarin Aura on everyone else."

"Reduce their presence, and you will naturally stand out."

"It's that simple?" MEI said in disbelief.

"Then why don't I feel that they have a low profile?"

Just now, I didn't seem to be trying to ignore or completely disregard these guys at all.

"Yes," the system said, "It's not as complicated as you think, and the reason is quite simple. It's because you're special! You have the identity of a transmigrator plus the system's support."

"Theoretically speaking, you have a protagonist's halo, even if you don't give others the Akarin halo."

"You also tend to attract attention more easily."

"Then what happened to me not being able to find a job for almost three years?" MEI asked again.

"Just throw an Akarin Aura at you," the system said. "It's very simple."

"Oh~" MEI seemed to agree with the system's statement. She thought for a moment and said, "Then, one last thing."

"I need this power, without my consent, without my command."

"You are not allowed to use any aura powers."

Chapter 159 The Sea of Quantum

The Sea of Quantum.

Actually, this place is more like a gateway to different worlds.

Here you can observe different worlds, but traveling to those worlds is a rather difficult task.

Kevin.

He did not come here voluntarily.

No, at least from the beginning he never expected to end up in such a strange place.

Because of a disagreement with SU, I was unwittingly abandoned in this place by my former teammates. In this place where time and space are almost impossible to determine, getting out is virtually a certainty.

Of course, it's almost impossible, not completely impossible.

With the help of his loyal subordinates outside and the coordinates found inside, Kevin finally found a way back to his original world.

However, just as they were about to leave this place and return to their original world...

An uninvited guest blocked the exit.

Herrscher!

Welt Young!

Although it looked very human, Kevin recognized at a glance that the guy wasn't human at all! The First Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason! And then he created a maze and trapped himself here!

"Bastard! You bastard! I don't need to look at your meaningless memories."

Kevin has really had enough!

"Get out here!" Kevin roared. "Get out here! Get out now!"

He's already wasted too much time here! He's lost so much, so much. Now he really doesn't want to lose anything more, especially not the person he once valued most.

She's right outside!

In that world at the very end of this maze.

She was there.

Kevin didn't want to wait any longer, not even a quarter of an hour. She just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. To find her! To see her! To tell her about her longing and love for her.

Only.

He's stuck here with no way out.

Why?

Why is this happening?!

"Come out here!" Kevin roared. "Welt Young!"

After repeated attempts to break through the impasse with brute force proved fruitless, Kevin finally tried. This was perhaps the first time he attempted to use negotiation to resolve the issue.

I've been delayed here for too long, and the violence can't be stopped.

Now all we can do is try to talk to them.

Everything was for her!

Kevin didn't want to delay any longer!

In that dangerous world outside, my MEI is not safe anywhere!

"Let's negotiate! Let's negotiate!" Kevin shouted. "Welt Young, you know I'll get out of here eventually. You might be able to stop me for a while, but you can't stop me forever."

"That's quite a while!" Suddenly, a light, yet malicious voice floated over and said, "It's been at least five hundred years, hasn't it?"

"Who?"

Kevin became alert; this wasn't Welt Young's voice.

It was the voice of a young girl.

"It seems that the people of the previous era weren't invincible either."

She was a young girl with black hair, and red accents near the inside of her face. Her blood-red eyes revealed a hint of disdain and arrogance.

She floated lightly in front of Kevin, and then suddenly transformed into a girl with deep blue hair and blue eyes.

The girl became nervous and at a loss again.

"Ah... um~ I... my name is Seele Vollerei." The girl bowed deeply and said apologetically, "Please don't be angry because of my attitude."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

'A little girl...' Kevin glanced at her and then lost interest; he had thought Welt Young had turned into a girl.

It looks like some random kid who just appeared out of nowhere.

As for what was just said, Kevin wouldn't mind; he'd just write it down in his notebook.

But what interests Kevin even more is...

"How did you get to the Sea of Quantum?" Kevin tried his best to appear calm and approachable, saying, "Did you come through another door?"

This is what Kevin is most concerned about.

He really wanted to know how this girl got here.

Like Welt Yang? Welt Yang found a door to enter the Sea of Quantum. If there's another door, then.

Then he can get out from there.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

Perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken to anyone for so long, Kevin felt a bit speechless. He had prepared a whole bunch of words in his mind, but when it came to actually speaking, only a few phrases came out.

"It's an experiment," Sir explained. "An experiment that Mother Cocolia mentioned, although we don't know exactly what happened."

"I've come this far."

Sir didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything or saying anything useless; she told Kevin everything about how she got there.

Kevin wasn't interested.

If Sir didn't come from another entrance, meaning there's still one exit available. If we don't figure out how to get rid of this guy blocking the door...

As things stand, he will never be able to get out of here.

But...

"The name Cocolia seems familiar," Kevin said.

"Do you know Mother Cocolia?" Sir seemed delighted, and she immediately wanted to tell Kyle about Mother Cocolia.

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with it, don't bother me!"

Kevin said, "I need to think of a new approach."

Otherwise, staying here all the time isn't a good idea.

"Have you observed those bubbles?" Sir, seeing that Kevin didn't seem interested in mentioning Mother Cocolia. She changed her approach and said, "Those bubbles that seem to contain a whole world inside."

I've been here for a while now, and observing those World Bubble is probably the only thing Sir can do.

In each of those World Bubble, very strange things are happening.

Some worlds resemble the world we are familiar with, while others do not.

Some worlds are very ordinary, seemingly untouched by Honkai.

Some worlds are also psychedelic; although they haven't Honkai, they seem to have other strange things going on.
