Chapter 209

"They finally thought of me!" Welt was so moved he almost cried. Bronya was much more reliable. It seemed like Rin Shen Gonglin didn't take him seriously at all. After all, he was the former Herrscher of Reason and the leader of Anti-Entropy. Saving him could also help Bronya use the Herrscher of Reason's abilities. He was still useful. If Bronya hadn't reminded him, Welt really suspected that Shen Gonglin would have just left him here.

"Oh... I'm sorry, there really are no seats left on this train, but it's alright, Mr. Welt, I've already come up with a solution. We can simply tie you with a rope and pull you to the back."

Using the power of the Herrscher of Reason to construct all things, Shen Gonglin conjured a thick hemp rope in her hand. She didn't care much about men; as long as she could take him back, that was enough. Tying the rope to the back of the Heavy-duty Rabbit and dragging him back was a last resort, since the Heavy-duty Rabbit was only so small.

Hiss... This guy is inhuman! He actually tried to drag me back on the motorcycle with a rope. Is that something a human would do? How could Ai Yin deal with someone like this? He has an angelic face, yet he can so easily utter such devilish words. This person is very suspicious.

Welt was speechless, while Bronya and Seele were already considering the feasibility of this plan. It seemed that there really was no other way. In this situation, preserving their lives was the most important thing. They couldn't leave the two of them behind. Compared to the girls, the tough and thick-skinned Mr. Welt was more suitable for this role.

"Mr. Welt, I'm very sorry, but Shen Gonglin is right, right now we only have..."

Bronya tried to persuade Welt, but at that moment, the collapsing space had already spread to their location. The ground beneath their feet instantly shattered into several pieces, and Welt's figure was immediately separated from Bronya and the others. There was no time to waste. After a brief moment of thought, Shen Gonglin made her choice. She jumped off the Heavy-duty Rabbit and leaped across the shattered rocks in mid-air towards Welt. This guy was Einstein's good friend, and he also had intricate connections with the core of the Herrscher of Reason. Although she didn't need him, both Bronya and Einstein needed him to return to reality.

"Bronya, take Seele and go ahead. We'll be there soon!"

Using gravity to plummet downwards, Shen Gonglin looked back at Bronya and Seele and gave them her instructions. A blue light screen appeared in front of the Heavy-duty Rabbit, forming a path to safety. Then, Shen Gonglin resolutely jumped towards Welt's previous position. Bronya and Seele could only watch helplessly as the two figures gradually disappeared. Bronya gritted her teeth, "Shen Gonglin... please don't let anything happen to you."

Chapter 184 Let Me Fly

So, he still couldn't escape this Sea of Quantum after all... But it doesn't matter, as long as they can escape. From them, Welt saw the hope of humanity. Although he didn't agree with the snake's ideology, Welt also admitted that Shen Gonglin were indeed the torch of humanity. Welt was willing to do his part to save them.

As he plummeted through the shattered space, Welt closed his eyes in peace. He had no regrets now. The core of the Herrscher of Reason had been entrusted to Bronya, and his beliefs had been conveyed. Given time, Bronya would surely be able to fully control the power of the Herrscher of Reason. As the only Herrscher unaffected by the Will of Honkai, she definitely could... After all, she had passed his three trials; she was hope.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not done filming yet. I promised Ai-in I'd bring you back. If you want to die, you should at least wait until we get back."

Just as Welt was preparing to face death calmly, Shen Gonglin's voice rang out. Welt opened his eyes in astonishment. In his sight, a beautiful figure was rapidly approaching. This was... was this an angel?

"I'm sorry, I'm not an angel, I'm Shen Gonglin. Uncle, it's not time for you to die yet."

With a flick of her wrist, Shen Gonglin Rin bound Welt's legs and pulled him back. The leader of Anti-Entropy was slammed onto the rocks. He had certainly suffered enough, but at least he was alive.

"Ahem... Thank you... But if possible, I'd still prefer you to be a little gentler..."

Welt rubbed his nose and sat up. He looked at Shen Gonglin with great gratitude. Although he was dizzy from the impact, Welt knew that Shen Gonglin had done this to save him. However, in Welt's opinion, Shen Gonglin's actions were not wise. Bronya and Seele had already ridden away the motorcycle that the Heavy-duty Rabbit had transformed into. Now, it seemed that neither of them could do anything about it.

"I'm sorry, I've already given all my tenderness to those lovely girls. As for the older man, you'll just have to bear with it. Remember to let Ai Yin know you're safe when you get back. I might not be able to go back for a while."

Shen Gonglin quickly thought things through and finally made this decision. As someone once said, with great power comes great responsibility. Shen Gonglin had strong confidence in himself. If they stayed here, something bad would definitely happen, while he still had a chance to live. So he decided to do it this way. This kind of protagonist treatment was something only he could enjoy!

"Hmm? Reporting that you're safe? Shen Gonglin, what are you planning to do?"

Welt felt something was wrong. Why did he have to go back and let Einstein know he was safe? What was Shen Gonglin trying to do? Why was he so panicked? Shen Gonglin... why did that look in his eyes make him look so scared? And why did he call him "uncle"? Although he was old enough to be called "uncle" in terms of age, he should at least look like a handsome and dashing older brother.

"I think... guess? I'm sorry, uncle, there's no better way now, I can only be a little rough. But it's good enough that I'm alive, right? I hope Lady Luck keeps smiling on you... uh, no, I hope Lady Luck stays by your side forever."

Shen Gonglin gave Welt a bright smile, but that smile chilled Welt to the bone. The space was already shattered like this, and there was no way to bring Welt back by any other method. But Shen Gonglin had one last trick up her sleeve. Since she was now in the form of the Herrscher of Reason, she would use the Herrscher of Reason's abilities to solve the problem!

With star rings flashing in her eyes, Shen Gonglin communicated with the power of construction to outline something in the air. Fortunately, she had accidentally seen the blueprints for this thing on Einstein's mecha. Shen Gonglin carefully tightened the rope on Welt's feet, and tied the other end of the rope to the constructed object. Although she couldn't construct it herself without a complete blueprint, this level was enough.

"This is... Titan Mech? Shen Gonglin, what are you trying to do? Why are you strapping me to this thing?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Welt's forehead. He realized what Shen Gonglin was up to. This little madwoman was going to risk her life, and her own!

"Of course it's to save you, Mr. Welt. Have a safe journey. If the plan goes smoothly, you should be able to get there faster Bronya and the others."

Shen Gonglin flashed a bright smile, and at the same time, he activated the arm of the Titan Mech that had been constructed. With his current abilities, this was the only thing he could create. The missile, trailing a trail of flames, shot out. Welt only managed to utter a single word before the missile pulled him away by the leg. Shen Gonglin didn't hear what he said, but it was probably some heartwarming expression of gratitude. This method could only take one person. Watching Welt disappear rapidly, Shen Gonglin steadied himself and tried to buy some time.

Now all I need to do is buy Bronya and the others enough time. If I were to relinquish the Herrscher of Herrscher of Reason's powers now, then the Heavy-duty Rabbit would lose its riding form. At the very least, I need to get Bronya and Seele out of the danger zone. I have many ways to save myself, so it's not a problem at all. Now, I just hope they can get out of danger a little faster.

The rocks were crumbling, Shen Gonglin could only try to move towards the relatively intact areas. Bronya, it's all up to you now...

"Sister Bronya, Shen Gonglin, will he be alright?"

The motorcycle sped along. The road that Shen Gonglin had created earlier had come to an end. Bronya was now carrying Seele, making its way towards the anchor point set by Dr. Einstein. This place was much safer than the shattered space they had been in before. Seele hesitated and glanced back. Shen Gonglin still hadn't arrived. The girl was very worried about him, leaving him alone... Oh, right, there was also Mr. Welt, but Mr. Welt didn't seem to be of much use.

"It's alright, Seele doesn't understand. Shen Gonglin is very powerful, he will definitely be fine."

Bronya comforted Seele, but from an angle Seele couldn't see, Bronya's gray eyes were also filled with worry. She desperately wanted to turn the car around and go straight to Shen Gonglin, but Bronya couldn't do that, because Seele was still behind her. Reason told Bronya that she had to get Seele to a safe place. Seele had been in the Sea of Quantum long enough, and as her older sister, she had to save her.

Therefore, Bronya could only suppress her worries deep inside. Shen Gonglin would be alright; he would definitely be alright.

Bronya looked down at the Heavy-duty Rabbit, which was still in its Herrscher mode riding form. This meant that Shen Gonglin was still using the power of the Herrscher of Reason, in other words, he was still safe. So there was definitely no problem. Shen Gonglin not only had the power of the Herrscher of Reason, but he also had the Herrscher of the Void, his Angel form, and the power of the Time Spirit. He would definitely be fine. He had no problem with an opponent as powerful as the Serpent, so how could a mere spatial rupture possibly be a problem for him?

"Is that so...? Yes, Sister Bronya is right. His words are definitely true, Seele believes him too!"

Seele hugged Bronya tightly around the waist, conveying her belief to her. Shen Gonglin was a very magical person. Not only did Sister Bronya believe in him, but she did too. It was as if nothing in this world could stop him. Even the Sea of Quantum, which had troubled her for so long, he could come and go as he pleased. So he must be alright. As long as they returned to reality, they could see him again. Not only her, but also Sister Bronya, and... her other self. They would all be together forever.

[Oh? You actually thought of me? Well, thank you so much. We'll be leaving this awful place soon. Seele, could you tell Sister Bronya to go faster, like, floor the accelerator?]

"Oh no... this won't do. If we go too fast, something bad will happen..."

[Ugh, what a hassle. Let her give me the car; I'll drive it.]

[This won't work either, my other self, be quiet. If I let you drive... Seele has a feeling that three lives will be lost in one car...]

[Well, now you dare talk to me like that? Is this what happens when you have a man backing you up?]

[!! A man's backing... Seele, Seele doesn't understand what you mean...]

Bronya was focused on driving, while Seele was entangled in a mental struggle with another version of herself. Just then, a scream suddenly came from behind. Before Bronya and Seele could turn around, the scream flew over their heads and into the distance. Seeing the figure that showed no signs of slowing down, both Bronya and Seele hesitated for a moment.

"Was that Mr. Welt just now?"

Seele asked uncertainly. She could vaguely make out that it was Welt, but why was he making that scream? It sounded so scary.

"It must be. As expected of the leader of Anti-Entropy, he actually came up with such a method. Seele, hurry up, I need to speed up too, we have to catch up with him."

Bronya slightly bowed her body, causing a knight to bend over and lower his head. What this proved was Bronya- evident.

Chapter 185 I'm Afraid Shen Gonglin Will Misunderstand

"Doctor, why haven't they come out yet? What's going on?"

Outside, Eye of the Abyss, Theresa anxiously watched the unfolding Eye of the Abyss. It had been open for quite some time, but Shen Gonglin and the others still hadn't come out. If they delayed any longer, the Eye of the Abyss would close again, and then none of them would be able to be saved.

"Communication has been lost, but I've already sent them the coordinates. All we can do now is wait..."

Einstein wiped the sweat from her brow, her eyes glued to the numbers on the computer screen. "Shen Gonglin, come out quickly!" she cried. "According to this data analysis, the space they were in is on the verge of destruction, yet Shen Gonglin and the others still haven't emerged." Einstein forced herself to calm down, but her growing anxiety was impossible to control. A wave of regret slowly crept into Einstein heart. Why had she agreed to Shen Gonglin go to the Sea of Quantum? If she had gone herself, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Mom, will Shen Gonglin and Bronya be alright?"

Rosaria tugged at Cocolia's clothes and asked, her usually lively and cheerful face now filled with worry. Why hadn't Shen Gonglin come out yet? The Doctor said there was no time left. He said he would bring Bronya back, but now... Not only Rosaria, Liliya was also looking at Cocolia. At this moment, they hoped to get some reassuring news from their mother. Seeing the worried looks on her two daughters' faces, Cocolia sighed softly.

She felt the same way. Shen Gonglin also carried her own hopes, not just for Bronya, but also for Seele. It could be said that Cocolia placed all her hopes on Shen Gonglin. She might have had some bad intentions before, but now Cocolia only hoped that they could return safely. If she had a way, Cocolia was willing to pay any price, but now... she could only pray with Rosaria and the others.

"Hmm? There's an energy reaction... This reaction is... a Stinger missile? Theresa, move aside, an attack is coming through the Eye of the Abyss!"

Einstein stared in astonishment at the data displayed on the computer. She quickly reminded Theresa to pull her away, or the Stinger missile would hit Theresa's face. Why would such an attack appear from the Sea of Quantum? Could it be that there are Titan Mech in the Sea of Quantum as well?

Pulling Theresa aside, the light screen of the Eye of the Abyss began to flicker, and then a missile shot out. A rope was tied to the missile, and at the other end of the rope... was a person? Who is this despicable person, capable of such a thing...? Suddenly, a figure appeared in the minds of everyone present. Yes, only he could be so despicable.

"Let's find out who he is first."

Theresa drew a golden spear from Judah, aimed, and hurled it. The sharp tip sliced through the ropes, while Rosaria deflected the Stinger missile with her sword. With a bang, the man bound by the ropes fell to the ground. Only then did Einstein and Cocolia's expressions change. This unidentified object lying on the ground...

"Yang? What happened to you? How did you get out like this? Where are Shen Gonglin and Bronya?"

Upon seeing who was on the ground, Einstein rushed over. Indeed, the person strapped to the missile and launched was none other than Welt Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy. What had happened to him? Why was he strapped to a missile and thrown out? Was this really done by Shen Gonglin?

"Ain...it's all complicated, but Bronya and the others should...be coming out soon..."

Stunned and disoriented from the fall, Welt took a long time to sit up. He rubbed his glasses and gave a wry smile. He didn't know whether to thank Shen Gonglin or curse him for sending him out in such a way. Only Rin would dare to do something like that. Welt's old arms and legs really couldn't take it. He recalled the figures he vaguely saw when he came out. It should be Bronya and Seele. He didn't expect to have come out before them. It was really unexpected.

"Them? Who else? Besides Bronya, who else?"

Cocolia quickly followed, her purple eyes gleaming with anticipation. Could it be that it really was what she thought? Did Shen Gonglin really keep his promise?

"And her sister Seele... Aiyin, do your best to maintain the Eye of the Abyss, they'll be out soon, and Shen Gonglin... he'll definitely be alright too!"

Cocolia's thoughts were proven true. Upon hearing Welt's words, Cocolia's eyes immediately filled with tears. He really had rescued them. Shen Gonglin was right. Overwhelming joy instantly overwhelmed this cold woman's heart. In a daze, she finally couldn't hold on and sat down on the ground. She was already seriously injured, and it was this belief that sustained her. Now that she knew that her two daughters would be rescued, Cocolia finally felt relieved. That's good. That's... so good.

Ignoring Cocolia sitting on the ground, Welt calmly explained the current situation. What they needed to do now was to do their best to maintain the stability of the Eye of the Abyss. Only by stabilizing the exit route could Shen Gonglin and the others retreat safely.

"I understand, but Yang... you should just call me Einstein from now on, otherwise I'm afraid Shen Gonglin will misunderstand."

Einstein nodded and returned to the computer to observe the data. Then she casually said something that made Theresa freeze and almost burst out laughing, while Welt was full of question marks. What did she mean? What did she mean by being afraid that Shen Gonglin would misunderstand? How long had she been in the Sea of Quantum? Why did it feel like everything had changed since she came out? Welt didn't understand at all.

Almost there, we'll be out soon. Soon we'll be able to take Seele out, and then it'll be Shen Gonglin ... Shen Gonglin, you have to be alright too...

As Bronya sped forward on her motorcycle, Bronya could already see the flashing exit light ahead. That was the coordinates Dr. Einstein had given her. From there, she could cross the Eye of the Abyss and return to reality to bring her sister back. This was her responsibility. And then, there was only Shen Gonglin.

Thinking of Shen Gonglin's safety, Heavy-duty Rabbit were suddenly disintegrated, a sign of the Herrscher's energy being interrupted. The motorcycle vanished abruptly, and Bronya and Seele fell to the ground in a panic. Fortunately, the two girls were not ordinary people, so this did not cause them any harm. It seemed that they would have to walk the road ahead on their own. However, Bronya was not worried about this. The interruption of the Herrscher's energy was probably not a good thing.

Bronya looked back with concern. It was possible that Shen Gonglin herself had cut off the Herrscher's energy supply, or perhaps... No, that was absolutely impossible. It must have been Shen Gonglin herself who cut it off. She must have encountered something else important and used another power. That must be it.

Bronya shook her head, trying her best to convince herself that Shen Gonglin would be alright, that it must be so.

"... Seele, just keep walking towards the glowing spot. Bronya needs to go back. Bronya has things she needs to do."

Taking a deep breath, Bronya made the decision resolutely. She couldn't leave Shen Gonglin alone. No matter what, she should be by his side. The road ahead wasn't too difficult, Seele should be fine on her own. So she should go back. She couldn't bear to leave Shen Gonglin alone here. She had experienced that feeling once before, and this time, Bronya absolutely couldn't let go.

"Sister Bronya, are you going back?"

Seele stared at Bronya in astonishment. What was her sister saying? She was actually planning to go back! They had finally escaped from there, and now she wanted to go back? Didn't Sister Bronya know how dangerous the Sea of Quantum was? Shen Gonglin had gone through so much trouble to get them out, and now her sister wanted to go back?

"Yes, Bronya can't leave Shen Gonglin there alone. Bronya has already made a mistake once, leaving Seele there alone for so long. Now Bronya doesn't want to repeat the same mistake. So, this time, Bronya must stay by his side."

Bronya looked at Seele calmly, gently stroking Seele's cheek. Leaving Seele in the Sea of Quantum had caused Bronya immense pain and regret, so she certainly couldn't do it again. Bronya had her own reasons; this was absolutely unacceptable.

"But Sister Bronya, I..."

Seele wanted to dissuade Bronya, but looking into Bronya's eyes, she didn't know how to start. Bronya was right; they couldn't leave Shen Gonglin alone in the Sea of Quantum. But what would Seele do if Sister Bronya went back?

"Seele, bravely move forward. Bronya will always be by your side. Just wait, Bronya will come back with Shen Gonglin."

Bronya patted her sister's head and gave Seele a faint smile. Her sister could definitely do it.

Chapter 186 Running

The girl resolutely turned back, her petite figure appearing so determined to Seele. Just as before, Sister Bronya always stood protectively in front of her, telling her to leave while she went to find Shen Gonglin. Seele glanced back at the light in that direction; if she ran there, she could return to reality. But was that the reality she truly wanted?

[Of course we need to get out of here! Have you forgotten how we survived in the Sea of Quantum? Now we can finally leave, Seele, what are you waiting for!]

Another voice inside her was urging Seele to hurry up and go. Freedom was right there. This was the closest they had ever been to freedom. Once they got out, flowers, green grass, sunshine, and all the beautiful things she could imagine would appear. What was there to hesitate about? She couldn't White Seele was hesitating about. The most important thing to do right now was to hurry up and rush out.

But... is that really the reality we want?

Seele timidly refuted her other self. She had always listened to her other self because she had been protecting her and staying by her side throughout the entire Sea of Quantum. Seele knew she was right. As long as she got out of here, she could return to the reality she had always longed for. In order to escape from the Sea of Quantum, she did not hesitate to be used by Kevin, which showed how much Seele wanted to escape from here. But now, she was really starting to hesitate.

What... does this mean?

Although her tone was stern and even somewhat accusatory, the other Seele in her heart was still willing to listen to Seele's thoughts. In fact, she was the one who doted on Seele the most, and she instinctively felt that what Seele said made some sense. She was willing to listen to Seele's true wishes.

Although, although we can leave from here and return to reality... but if we leave now, that reality doesn't have Sister Bronya... Seele can't bear that kind of reality!

She firmly expressed her thoughts, Seele blue eyes filled with determination. Yes, she wanted to return to reality, but wasn't the purpose of returning to reality to be with Sister Bronya forever? If Sister Bronya didn't exist in reality, then Seele wouldn't need this reality. A future without Sister Bronya was not the future Seele wanted!

[...]

Another Seele in her heart fell silent. She was right. If Bronya wasn't in that reality, would it still be the reality Seele wanted? Without a doubt, the answer was obvious. But now the opportunity to reach that reality was right in front of her. She wouldn't be willing to give up if she didn't go out.

[And... if my other self went out now, there's no Shen Gonglin in reality. Without him, even you probably wouldn't be happy, right?]

Sensing the hesitation of her other self, Seele's eyes flickered slightly as she revealed another reason. She could sense that the red version of herself cared deeply for Shen Gonglin. Compared to her own self, the red version was bolder and more expressive. To persuade her other self, Seele came up with this idea: if it was him, the other self would probably agree.

"That's right, let's hurry over there."

Seele had only spoken tentatively, but she hadn't expected her words to be so powerful, so easily convincing her other self. Seele was speechless for a moment. Perhaps she cared about Shen Gonglin more than she thought. She had hesitated a bit when talking about Sister Bronya, but when she mentioned Shen Gonglin, she seemed to become a different person. It was still the same person, wasn't it? Could it be... that this was also what she truly felt?

Sister Bronya, I'm so sorry. It's not that you're not important, it's just that Shen Gonglin is so charming. My other self really likes him too much. It has nothing to do with Seele at all.

Silently apologizing to Bronya in her heart, Seele quickly followed Bronya's figure. Hearing the footsteps behind her, Bronya turned around in surprise. Seele, what's going on? Didn't I tell her to go through the Eye of the Abyss and return to reality first?

"Seele, you..."

"Sister Bronya, you don't need to say anything. Seele knows what she wants to do. Seele wants to stay by Sister Bronya's side."

With a perfect smile, Seele walked to Bronya's side and suddenly realized what she really wanted. What she wanted was never to return to reality; she just wanted to be with Bronya. To her, wherever Bronya was was the best place... Of course, if she could return to reality with Sister Bronya, that would be even better.

[And don't forget about Shen Gonglin!]

Yes, yes, yes, my other self hasn't forgotten Shen Gonglin. Seriously, does my other self like him that much? It's making me almost jealous of him...

"Seele ..."

Bronya was deeply moved and took Seele's hand without trying to dissuade her. She was an impulsive and willful older sister, so she had no right or qualification to lecture her younger sister. The two walked hand in hand towards the Sea of Quantum. Nothing could stop them. Going back now would not be a perfect ending, and what they needed to do now was to turn this imperfect future into the one they hoped for.

However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred. In their sight, a jet-black tide was surging up from the horizon. This was the defense mechanism of the Sea of Quantum. Anyone who wanted to escape from the Sea of Quantum would be pulled back. Simply put, this thing was the jailer of the Sea of Quantum prison.
