World Bubble Journey, Departure!

Black Seele's favorability: 60→50→65→60

The Quantum Sea is where each world, after its destruction, falls from the Imaginary Tree. It is the 'world' between worlds.

World Bubble are the echoes left behind by those worlds. If a special 'Aether Anchor' exists, the World Bubble can function normally and may even reconnect with the Imaginary Tree.

Black Seele had her own reasons for accepting Sachi's help.

First, he's good-looking and seems like a good person, but I wonder if he has any dirty thoughts hidden inside.

Secondly, he possesses a power that is of the same origin as hers, from the Herrscher of Death. Only after entering Xing's body did she discover that he was the vessel for the Herrscher Core of Death in this era.

Third, after possessing Xing's body, she discovered that it was incredibly powerful and contained several powerful auras dormant within it; she couldn't cause any trouble here at all. It seemed she had dug her own grave.

Fourth, she really needs a helper; she cannot rescue White Seele on her own.

Fifth, she could sense Xing's genuine emotions. When she looked at herself and Bronya on the phone, the tenderness in her eyes was something she couldn't fake.

But is he enough on his own?

Xing felt as if he had been thrown into a washing machine and was being constantly agitated. He clung tightly to the two Armed Doll as he sank deeper and deeper into the deep sea.

Then, without any warning, the dizzying sensation disappeared, his feet touched the ground, and when he opened his eyes, all he saw was desolation.

He put Little Te and Little Xuan down, and the spoiled little tyrant coughed loudly, complaining, "The air quality here is terrible! I feel like my respiratory system is blocked! Young hero, I don't have any fighting power, why did you bring me along?"

"If you're not here, I won't be able to activate your combat components smoothly, which will put a lot of burden on Jilin." Xing took out Children's Mask from the storage space of the Guidance Module and put it on her. Little Xuan felt a little better after that.

Little Te began analyzing the terrain and environment, as well as the relevant indices of this world. He then attempted to communicate with Black Seele: "Black Seele, have we successfully entered the Quantum Sea?"

"Well, to be precise, we're currently in one of those World Bubble. Let's get out of here quickly, find Seele, and leave this awful place immediately. If it weren't for the fact that a part of me is still with her, I wouldn't want to come back here," the Tsundere Black Seele urged.

"Speaking of which, your body seems to be quite compatible with mine. I was worried before that you wouldn't be able to integrate with my power, but I didn't expect it to be so well Polymerization. And you have a lot of energy in your body, so I don't have to worry about depletion anymore."

Slightly weak, Xing interrupted her, "I used up a lot to activate the Thousand Worlds, so don't absorb it recklessly. By the way, Black Seele, how do we leave the World Bubble?"

He thought Black Seele would tell him how to leave, but she suddenly fell silent.

A bad feeling rose in Xing's heart. "You don't know how to leave the World Bubble, do you?"

Black Seele was a little embarrassed. "I used to be able to break through with force, but I can't do it in this state. Even if you supply me with Honkai Energy, it won't work. I'm not complete, and I can't do what I used to be able to do."

"Hmm, I see. I guess there must be some conditions to leave normally, right? Maybe we can explore here first." Sachi activated her Honkai Vision and scanned the surrounding environment.

"Little Xing, life signs have been detected 1 kilometer away at 23 degrees west of north. Should we proceed?" Before Xing could even discern anything, Little Te had already made a discovery.

"Ahem, well done, Little Te. Ancestor Jilin, get ready, please conjure up a chariot to take us there..." Just as Xing Gang unfastened his Leg Ring, Little Te handed him something that looked like a smartphone.

"This is something Dr. Tesla forgot to give you: the Build's companion equipment— the Build Phone. It has functions far exceeding those of current mobile phones, and it also has a hidden ability: please insert Fullbottles into the groove on its side."

Xing silently put the Leg Ring back on because he recognized the device.

"Bike!" After inserting the Motorcycle Fullbottle, the phone-shaped device underwent a series of transformations and enlargements, finally turning into a cool motorcycle that came to a steady stop on the ground—Build's ride, the Mechanical Creator. (It seems the one inserted in the show was Lion Bottle.)

"What kind of magic is this?" Black Seele was almost speechless with astonishment.

"No, this is technology," Xing corrected.

After putting on his helmet, he placed Little Te and Little Xuan on the front seat and got on the motorcycle. "Hold on tight!"

"Little Te, isn't this car going a bit too slow? It's fast, but it doesn't seem to be reaching its top speed."

"Report to Little Xing: You are still a minor, therefore the Teenage Protection Mode is activated."

"Lobster Doctor, stop making all this useless stuff!"

——Divider——

The Vodka Girls had a rough day. They were out racing when they realized the brakes were gone when they tried to stop to go home for dinner. In their panic, they even broke the steering wheel.

"What do we do, Liliya? We can't stop!"

"Rosalia, it's no use asking me. It's all your fault for racing in such a remote place and keeping it a secret from Sister Bronya. Now even if we leave, no one will know."

The two little girls kept wailing, and just then, the sharp-eyed Rosalia saw that there was a cliff directly in front of them.

Rosalia was terrified and tried to jump out of the car with her sister. "Oh no! There's a cliff ahead! Liliya, let's jump out of the car quickly!"

"But we can get hurt if we jump off a car that's traveling at high speed."

"That's better than falling to my death! Wait, why can't I lift my butt?" Rosalia twisted her little bottom forcefully, only to find that her body was firmly stuck to the seat.

"Oh no, it's too hot in here! My clothes are stuck to the melting cushions!"

The twins, cheated by the unscrupulous merchant, could only watch helplessly as they hurtled towards the cliff. Just when they seemed to see Cocolia beckoning to them, two large black and red claws lifted their car out of thin air and brought it to a sudden stop.

"Hey, don't use my power without permission!" Black Seele, clearly displeased.

Xing pursed his lips and used his claws to force the wheels to stop. When he saw the faces of the two people clearly, he was stunned for a second.

Can anyone tell him why a little girl has a full beard?

"Big brother, thank you for saving us! Hey, why are you drawing your knife? Let's talk this out!"

As the Cherry Blossom Blizzard snowflakes swept past, the twins calmly sheathed their swords. Having resigned themselves to their fate and closed their eyes, they felt no pain for a long time. Curious, they opened their eyes and found themselves unharmed—no, they were still injured.

"Wow! Liliya and I saved up our allowance for a month to buy this limited edition Bronya merchandise!"

Xing: "..." So it was just a prop? I knew a loli couldn't possibly have a beard. And why would Bronya have this kind of merchandise?

"Oh, looks like those two idiots' alternate-dimensional counterparts. They're just as annoying no matter where they are." Black Seele said unhappily upon seeing an old friend.

He awkwardly pulled two bags of candy from his pocket and handed them to the wailing Gemini: "Ahem, sorry, as compensation, I'll fix your car for you. Little Te, go!"

The red-haired doll pulled out a bunch of tools from somewhere and, after a flurry of activity, transformed the Gemini's originally rustic motorcycle into something incredibly cool and powerful.

Black Seele: "This is magic, right? It must be magic!!"

Having witnessed even more outrageous things, Xing said, "Calm down, this is just basic operation."

"What have you been through?!"

While Little Te was repairing it, he chatted with the Gemini and learned about the world's setting.

The people here are passionate about racing and frequently hold car races, but this has led to a dramatic increase in toxic gases, causing severe degradation of the world's vegetation. On the remaining oases, humans have built new cities.

However, humanity has not lost its love for racing. Racing competitions are still popular, but they are subject to strict official restrictions. They can only be held once every so often, and only those who own vehicles capable of high-speed driving can participate. However, according to official regulations, it is difficult for ordinary people to access vehicles with speeds exceeding the legal limits.

Having idolized the legendary racing legend, Metal Gear Bronya, since childhood, the two longed to participate in a real race, but they lacked a vehicle. After spending their savings to buy a wrecked motorcycle on the black market, they ventured into the desert to practice their skills, only to be met with unforeseen disaster.

Black Seele complained, "The background of this World Bubble is really random."

Fortunately, he said he found it very interesting.

When Little Te pushed the motorcycle, which he had repaired and upgraded, in front of the twins, their eyes widened in amazement.

"The great Dr. Tesla once said, 'Anything that passes through my hands, even if it was once an insignificant piece of furniture, I will make it extraordinary.'" Little Te pushed up his glasses, his face expressionless.

Rosalia and Liliya excitedly jumped onto the newly renovated motorcycle, looking at the bunch of buttons that had appeared on the front of the vehicle with great curiosity.

Little Te explained, "Those are all new features I added to it, such as acceleration, flight, and water mode. By the way, don't press that red button."

Splat

Rosalia pressed it curiously. "What will happen if I press it?"

"It will explode."

Fortunately, he quickly carried the Arin Sisters into the car, grabbed two Armed Doll, and sped off. A huge mushroom cloud rose behind them. Rosalia and Liliya stared blankly at everything, then burst into tears again.

After driving to a safe location, the first thing Xing did after getting off the motorcycle was to pick up Little Te and shake it wildly. "Why does a motorcycle need a self-destruct function? Did that Lobster Doctor add it to your program?!"

"The great Dr. Tesla once said that you should always have a backup plan. Therefore, almost all of her inventions have a self-destruct function."

Sachi glanced at the belt in his pocket and suddenly felt a sense of panic. "Even my Build Driver is there?"

"Yes."

Sachi tossed the belt to her. "Take it off, right now! And delete that command permanently!" After thinking for a moment, she also handed her the bottle and the Build Phone, "You want these too!"

Little Te took out a screwdriver and started to carry out the instructions. However, when he saw the crying Arin Sisters, he felt overwhelmed. He was not good at comforting children.

"Is it that complicated? Just beat them until they stop crying, right?" Black Seele's idea was simple and brutal.

"Don't cry, Rosalia. We're not old enough to participate in the race even if we have a car," Liliya comforted her sister. "Besides, Sister Bronya wouldn't agree to it either."

"But..." Rosalia wanted to say something, but then she fell silent when she thought of her sister.

"Um, if you don't mind, please accept this." Sachi handed them the Build Phone with the self-destruct program removed and a Blank Bottle: "Just insert this little bottle into the groove next to it, and it will turn into a motorcycle. In a way, I caused this accident, so I am liable for compensation."

Little Te quickly stopped him. "Please wait a minute, you can't just give away Build's equipment to someone else!"

Fortunately, he held her little head and didn't take it seriously. "Can't you just make me another one? Tesla should have stored this in your database too, right? It's just a car, it's nothing to me, but if my child's dream is shattered, that would be an irreparable trauma."

Black Seele warned him, "Hey, don't get too emotionally attached to these people. They're just echoes of the world, repeating everything that happens here over and over again. No matter what you do, you can't change it."

Fortunately, she didn't say anything, but just looked gently at the anxious Gemini.

"Can we really accept such a precious gift?" The Arin Sisters were a little incredulous and hesitated to accept it.

Xing patted their heads and said with a smile, "Don't worry, big brother has several more. If you feel bad about it, please invite me to your house for a meal."

"Yes, yes! You are our savior, Sister Bronya will definitely treat you well!"

"Rosalia, I think Sister Bronya will probably beat us up first..."

On the drive to the city, Xing seemed to remember something and looked at the Little Te hanging around his neck. "Do you have a self-destruct function?"

"Some."

"Stop the car and take that apart before you leave!"

"I'm sorry, I can't do the demolition myself, and with your level of knowledge, you don't have the ability either. Please rest assured, this procedure will not be initiated unless there is an emergency."

"When I get back, I'm definitely going to teach that Lobster Doctor a lesson..."
