Schrödinger ran off, not knowing whether he was going to find Planck or Joyce.

Einstein was shocked by Schrödinger's appearance, and Schrödinger explained to Einstein that she had been in the Sea of Quanta for decades since her body was quantized.

Schrödinger emphasized that they encountered people from this world in other places, but Einstein seemed to have no interaction with them.

She tried every possible way to escape, but completely lost her beacon to return to this world.

"Until you activated that device."

From Schrödinger's next words, Einstein deduced that someone was close to obtaining the Gem of Hopes, which made him even more anxious and worried.

Schrödinger suggested they talk as they walked, because the conversation would last a long time.

"I don't understand..." Rosalia's eyes darted around, completely unable to understand what "Schrödinger" was saying. She could understand each word individually, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand them.

"Hilarious! Luckily Schrödinger consulted Dr. Einstein, otherwise, it's hard to believe anyone would understand."

"In layman's terms, it means the carbon-based body is gone; it has become a ghost."

"A ghost?!" Rosalia shrank back next to Lilia in fright.

"Rosalia, you idiot! It's not the kind of ghost we're thinking of!" Lilia glared with dead fish eyes.

Sirin was pondering a question.

Her serious expression caught the attention of the Arlene sisters.

Rosalia asked curiously, "Sister Sirin, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I was thinking..." Sirin pinched her chin with her hand, "What exactly did Schrödinger mean by 'the people of this world'? It couldn't possibly refer to Bronya, because she never met Schrödinger, which means there were other people who entered the Sea of Quanta."

"Is there another way to get in besides the Abyss Flower Eye?"

The Arlene sisters clearly couldn't answer Sirin's question, so they looked at each other and gave an awkward smile.

"Oh no, the Queen has gotten a brain!"

"I don't care what kind of monster you are, get off Her Queen right now!"

"Wait, I have a theory. Her Queen possesses spatial powers, which means she might be able to open a passage to the Sea of Quanta. Could it be that the people of this world Schrödinger was referring to are..."

"Himeko! Yes, it must be Himeko!"

Seeing the seemingly serious and well-reasoned speculations in the comments, Sirin also had some hope that Himeko had survived. Although she was fighting against "herself," Himeko's last moments deeply moved her.

As Rosalia watched Lilia being swallowed, the Gray Serpent continued to provoke her anger with words. The Gray Serpent was very satisfied when Rosalia went berserk.

Seeing that the Gray Serpent's plot was about to succeed, Theresa quickly comforted Rosalia and told her to calm down.

Hearing Theresa's words of comfort, Rosalia's pent-up grievances burst forth, and tears welled up in her eyes. As twins, they had a special connection, but now all that answered her was the roar of monsters.

The Gray Serpent continued its taunts.

Theresa was also angry.

Gray Serpent shifted his target, his tone flippant and mocking, yet his words struck a nerve with everyone.

"Ugh, so annoying!!!"

The character Theresa in the story was furious, but the real Theresa was even angrier, wishing she could jump into the screen and give Gray Serpent a good beating.

"If you're going to fight, then fight! Why are you talking so much?! You're just as annoying as Yaqing!!!"

The angry headmaster rolled around and made a scene.

"Pfft." Kiana covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "That stinky uncle did it on purpose, didn't he? Aunt will probably be furious if she sees this."

Mei was both amused and exasperated.

"Mei, do you think Gray Serpent will be a character based on Uncle Stinky?"

"I don't think so," Mei said uncertainly. "Currently, every character with a prototype has an extremely similar model to its real-world counterpart, but Yaqing and Gray Serpent have absolutely no similarities."

"However, it cannot be ruled out that Gray Serpent is a robot, created based on his character design in the story."

Kiana clapped, "Mei, that was amazing!"

"No..." Mei shyly.

Kiana deliberately leaned closer to Mei and whispered in Mei's ear, "But Mei, you can call your stinky uncle 'uncle' too, okay?"

Feeling Kiana's warm breath, Mei's face turned even redder.

Today, it's Kiana's victory again.

Chapter 199 Theresa: I really... am not... envious at all!

Theresa felt the activated Honkai Beasts factors within her body constantly stimulating her consciousness, amplifying her faint pain infinitely.

However, she also sensed something that was usually difficult to notice; she noticed the strangeness coming from the chains wrapped around her arms.

"What is this...?"

Theresa watched the plot unfold intently on the computer screen, sensing that she would not be defeated this time.

The heavily injured Cocolia barely managed to control her Tactical Mech to block Rosalia's path, and urged Theresa to quickly lead Rosalia to retreat.

Theresa refused. She told Rosalia to calm down. Although the Gray Serpent had swallowed Lilia, it couldn't digest her in a short time. Lilia was calling for their help.

Theresa devised a plan and told Rosalia that there was only one chance, and if they failed, Lilia's situation would become even more dangerous.

Theresa will suppress Ashvatthaman, and Rosalia will target Lilia's position, severing the matrix connection at the moment of stopping.

Rosalia worried that she couldn't do it.

Theresa continued to feed Rosalia chicken soup.

Rosalia then gained some confidence.

"Lilia, Rosalia will definitely save you!"

"Um!"

Unlike the Arlene sisters, Sirin looked at Theresa and Rosalia, who were interacting in the story, with a strange expression, and then looked at Ashvatthaman, who was not moving, and sighed, "This tea pet is so well-behaved."

"Hahaha, what the hell is this tea pet?"

"Her Queen's criticism is spot on. Theresa and Rosalia were discussing their battle plan right in front of the enemy, Ashvatthaman didn't even budge an inch."

"What do you know? This is an essential time-stopping ability for anime protagonists."

"Wow, anime main characters know a lot of things."

Theresa waved her hand, and black chains flew and wrapped around her, her eyes as red as the setting sun at dusk.

"#Warning, the concentration of activator factor is about to reach a critical value#"

Ignoring the system warning, Theresa already had the answer in her heart, and she laid out the "stage" for Rosalia.

"#Phase Four, Restrictions Lifted#"

The jet-black chains and scarlet crosses all transformed into azure longswords that surrounded Theresa. As the Blood Knight: Gekkou transformed into its true form, Theresa's clothes also changed.

Her long hair was tied into a side ponytail with black and white hair accessories. Her pretty face was fair and delicate, and her expression was resolute. Her rose-red pupils shone brightly. The strapless dress, which was held up by the straps around her neck, revealed her flawless white arms. Her hands and forearms were covered with white lace gloves.

The black skirt billowed in the wind, its blue hem echoing the azure swords. Her delicate legs were clad in white lace-trimmed knee-length stockings, adding a touch of allure to her youthful figure.

"It's so beautiful!" Rosalia and Lilia were captivated.

"It feels so unfair." Sirin pouted. Everyone else's character models are beautiful, and although hers is also very pretty, the character she appears in in the story is using Kiana's model.

Sirin understood that her character model might never have another chance to appear in the main storyline.

"Damn it, get up!"

"You bastard, what are you doing? Drag him out and shoot him!"

"Theresa looks so ethereal in this picture, like a fairy goddess. I want to keep it as my wallpaper."

"Fairy Sister? Are you sure it's not Fairy Sister?"

"Judah's warning!"

Theresa was slacking off in her office watching videos, was also amazed by herself in the storyline.

"It looks so good! I definitely want to buy an exact replica!"

Theresa was unaware that simply wearing the costumes from the story wouldn't guarantee her the same aura; in fact, the Theresa in the story and Theresa didn't match.

Meanwhile, President Otto, who is far away in Central Europe, was also watching videos in his office. The fact that the grandfather and grandson were doing the same thing made people wonder if they were related.

"This dress is also nice. Write it down and have Yaqing send over the original pattern. Then have Amber make it. We can give little Theresa a surprise for her birthday this year."

Otto smiled and nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with his plan.

Meanwhile, Amber, who was diligently working on documents at the other end of the office, felt her desire to kill Otto intensify upon hearing this.

As a member of the Kaslana family who was adopted into the Apocalypse family, Amber had been curious about Otto, the head of the family and president. However, after being recruited as his secretary and meeting Otto, she developed feelings for him.

Later, with the accumulation of work over time, Amber's feelings of admiration gradually turned into a desire to kill Otto. As you can imagine, the workload was terrifying.

However, it's also possible that Otto did it on purpose.

Having broken free of her bonds, Theresa used the Honkai Steel Chains in her hand to tightly restrict Ashvatthaman's movements, creating time for Rosalia to save Lilia.

Rosalia dared not delay for a moment, even though her inner monologue was full of excitement, the rousing background music started playing, and time seemed to start turning at this moment.

She started running.

Even as Gray Serpent put up a final, desperate fight, Rosalia blocked the attack with her greatsword, a skill that Lilia was very proud of, amidst the worried gazes of Theresa and Cocolia.

"Give it to me! Become a star!"

Amidst the colorful light and the slashing of swords, Rosalia embraced Lilia, who had separated from Ashvatthaman's body, while Theresa and Cocolia expressed their excitement.

"It's still uncertain who will win..."

In the end, the Gray Serpent's shattered body exploded, turning to ashes.

How so?

Sirin clicked her tongue. "I originally thought it was Aunt's famous scene, but after watching it, I feel it's more like Rosalia's famous scene."

"Of course, I will definitely rescue Lilia."

"Yes, that's right!"

"It's a real shame that Theresa's first appearance in her new form only resulted in binding the Gray Serpent and creating an opportunity for Rosalia."

"What's there to regret? This is what a senior should do. Just like Theresa herself said in the story, she will pave the stage for Rosalia, allowing Rosalia to perform to her heart's content and complete her most important performance."

"I wonder where Theresa offended that stinky uncle? From the Honkai series to now, there have been scenes of her displaying great power, but they all ended very quickly." Sirin sighed, but her eyes and brows were clearly smiling.

The Headmaster's Office.

Theresa was somewhat disappointed, yet also very happy. A true senior is one who is willing to play a supporting role for the sake of their juniors.
