Eye of the Deep Sea / Returning to the Second Honkai?

"Communication interference, system overload..."

Hyperion issued a warning sign.

Just then, the person on the screen changed. Cocolia's communication was cut off, and in her place appeared a figure wearing a black cloak.

"Excuse me, everyone."

"Gray Serpent?"

Theresa's pupils contracted.

"What are you doing here? There's no longer any deal between us."

"There's no deal left, but I'm quite interested in what that little girl said. How about we make a deal?" Gray Serpent said with a smile.

Chapter 117 Abyss of the Sea

"Me?" Seele was taken aback.

"Yes, that person seems to really like you," Gray Serpent chuckled.

"That one, are you referring to the snake?" Einstein interrupted.

The Gray Serpent spoke calmly, "Perhaps you have some misunderstandings about him, but he is the greatest fighter against the Honkai."

"The matter of your leader Welt is nothing but a misunderstanding."

Speaking of this, Tesla, this hot-tempered young woman, couldn't take it anymore.

He flung Einstein aside and shouted, "Misunderstanding? Forget your misunderstanding! Will Welt ever come back?"

To this, Gray Serpent simply chuckled, "Heh, you should know better than I whether Welt can come back or not."

"What do you mean?" Theresa asked instinctively.

"Second Honkai War, in Sirin's time, Welt was also stripped of his Herrscher Core, right? Welt should have been dead back then, but he hid his consciousness inside the Herrscher Core and reconstructed his body..."

Einstein and Tesla fell silent.

Back when Anti-Entropy was first established, Welt had thought that since the Herrscher of Reason was said to be able to reproduce something with their own power after fully understanding its "explanation", then even a human, after understanding it clearly, could also be resurrected through the Herrscher Core ability.

He confirmed this during the Second Honkai War.

From then on, he embarked on a one-way street of 'sit-ups'.

As long as the consciousness is in the core, it can't be killed no matter what, so why not play around with it?

Einstein and Tesla's minds also began to stir.

Perhaps it really is as the Gray Serpent said.

Welt can be resurrected if the core lost in the Quantum Sea is found!

"Young lady, how about we make a deal?"

"Let's go to the Quantum Sea again."

"Don't rush to refuse. Here's what I have to say, fellow Hyperion: I can tell you something along the way: how to seal Sirin's will."

"!"

In an instant, the Hyperion's pupils contracted.

"How about that? Isn't this news powerful enough? All that's needed is for that Miss Seele to go to the Quantum Sea again."

"No!"

But soon, a soft shout directly refuted Gray Serpent's words.

"Raiden Mei?"

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Raiden Mei.

Tesla was somewhat surprised.

This girl, who had always wanted to find Kiana and save her, actually refused after learning there was a way to rescue Kiana?

Raiden Mei looked at the Gray Serpent in the communicator, her expression resolute. "Although I don't know what the Quantum Sea is, it must be an extremely dangerous place. I can't trade another person's life for Kiana's."

"I believe Kiana wouldn't agree either!"

"Sister Raiden Mei ..." Seele stared blankly at the girl beside her.

Although we only spent a few days together, the other person was truly a very, very gentle person.

"Heh, Raiden Mei, you should think this through. Herrscher represent Honkai, and the Second Herrscher, Sirin, is the only Herrscher in this generation who can communicate with Honkai. Do you really think Kiana, a mere mortal, can fight against both the Honkai and the Herrscher consciousnesses?"

The Gray Serpent showed no panic and immediately launched its threat.

At this moment, the Gray Serpent truly revealed its serpentine nature.

It is insidious and suffocating.

"Despicable!" Theresa cursed angrily.

"Thank you for the compliment. For a businessman, sometimes being unscrupulous is the key to long-term success," Gray Serpent said dismissively.

"Alright, let's end the conversation here. Everyone can think about it carefully. If you've figured it out, then head to Abyssal City. I look forward to your answers."

After saying that, Gray Serpent unilaterally cut off the communication.

The Hyperion's red alert level disappeared instantly.

But Hyperion was unusually quiet.

Bronya glanced around and suddenly said, "Headmistress, I'll take Seele out first."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Theresa rubbed her temples and gave a forced smile.

On the deck of the Hyperion

Looking at the sunset outside, Seele raised her head and asked Bronya beside her, "Sister Bronya, is that Kiana someone very important to you?"

"Kiana is an idiot, but undeniably, she's Bronya's most important friend. Seele, you are Bronya's most important family member."

"I believe in Sister Bronya." Seele smiled slightly.

Time passed

Night fell quickly.

After everyone had gone to sleep, Seele walked out of the room alone.

"Hey, what do you want?"

At that moment, Ritscher's voice rang out.

"I want to help Sister Bronya," Seele said firmly.

"Sister Bronya and Raiden Mei are both very kind people. If I don't go, they will definitely risk going in. In that case, we might as well go instead."

"Are you crazy? Do you want to go back to that empty black box?"

A puzzled voice echoed in Ritscher 'Seele mind.

"I'm scared too, but I still have you, don't I? Even if I go back in, you'll be with me, won't you?" Seele smiled.

Ritscher: "..."

"You need to think this through. You won't run into that guy called Captain again like before once you go in," Ritscher said calmly.

"I know."

"I just can't do anything with you. Oh well, whatever you want." Ritscher sighed.

However, just as Seele reached the corner, a figure blocked her way.

"Sister Bronya?" Seele stared blankly at the figure in pajamas.

"Seele, if you want to go to the Quantum Sea, I won't stop you, but I hope you can let me go with you."

"Well?"

"Seele, it's so hard to see you again. I don't want to be separated from Seele again this time (I'm going to get the Awakening)." Bronya said softly.

"So, this time, can you take me with you?"

"Sister Bronya..."

Seele stared blankly at the girl with the electric drill in front of her, and nodded emphatically.

"Um!"

Command Room

When the automatic door opened, you would find Einstein, Tesla, Theresa, Raiden Mei all there.

"We've heard everything you said through the surveillance cameras, so I'll ask you one last time, Miss Seele, are you really sure about this?" Einstein said.

"Bronya, can you let me in?"

Einstein slowly spoke, "Miss Raiden Mei, not just anyone can enter the Abyss of the Sea. Miss Seele was chosen because she existed in the Quantum Sea before."

"As for Bronya, we still need to observe her. If she is rejected by the Abyss of the Sea, then it will be of no use."

Is that so?

"I wonder if that captain will show up," Tesla suddenly said.

"Before we set off, let me briefly explain to you the place we are about to go: Abyssal City."

Einstein held out one hand and began to fill in the gaps in his knowledge of Abyssal City for the people in front of him.

"The Abyssal City is a remnant of Previous Century Civilization. It was discovered by chance during the Second Honkai War when Anti-Entropy was salvaging a meteorite that had fallen from the moon into the Pacific Ocean."

"According to the records in Abyssal City, the Previous Civilization humans conducted a large number of experiments and eventually created a gate to the Quantum Sea."

"Although Abyssal City is called a city, it is actually neither a city nor a fortress, but a giant teleportation portal that can connect to the Quantum Sea."

"The name of this portal is [Abyss of the Sea]."

Chapter 118 Returning to the Second Honkai War?

After discussing the previous topic of Hongyan, the group chat moved on to the next stage.

It's about Kiana.

Akame: "Don't you guys feel that Kiana looks a lot like Cecilia? They're like sisters."

Black Pupil asked the question that had been on her mind again.

Ling Yuan: "You really can't stop thinking about this issue."

Akame: "Because I really care."

Maple: "I searched for Kiana, the Moon Goddess, symbolizing moonlight and femininity."

Eighth Princess: "Moon Goddess? What a beautiful meaning."

Ling Yuan: "Hongyu, your name is also very nice. Red represents your hair, and jade indicates that you are a gentle and quiet girl."

Eighth Princess: "!!!"

Eighth Princess: "Really? Brother Ling Yuan, is that really what you think of me?"

Sanjat: "Little Hongyu is so cute, I really like you, sister."

Eighth Princess: "Um, Cecilia!"

Having received recognition, today is arguably the happiest day Hongyu has had in many years.

Because never before have we received such recognition from so many people.

Ling Yuan: "I believe that Hongyu will grow into a graceful and elegant young woman, whose temperament and appearance will be among the best in the world."

Katarina: "What about me? Ling Yuan, Group Owner, what about me? I'm only seven years old, I should have a lot of potential, right?"

Ling Yuan: "Kid, did you forget your Doom Flag when you said that?"

Katarina: "Click!"

Akame: "Was it just my imagination? I felt like I heard something shatter."
