Satou Yunona's hand, which was petting the cat, stiffened for a moment, causing Little White to whimper unhappily. Shiro rubbed against Sato's delicate palm lines and soft skin before coming back to its senses and continuing its skilled massage.

She and her two companions were momentarily puzzled by Elysia's answer.

The reason the three of them came to the Sea of Quanta was to try to find Hua's memory, so as to make up for the self that His Your Excellency killed and restore it to its original form, thus indirectly taking back the Class President they knew.

According to Elysia, this plan seemed to have lacked the fundamental conditions for its existence from the very beginning.

Elysia continued:

"You also know that the true nature of this Sea of Quanta was created half a year ago because of Su Qing'an, right? Before the truth was revealed, my memory was stuck at the time when Mei entered the Sea of Quanta normally, so I always assumed that Hua was still there."

"After all, the memories of these Flame-Chasers have spent over 50,000 years in this Sea of Quanta, so it's perfectly normal for them not to appear for a year or two."

Satou Yunona continued:

"So, after you discovered that this place was born because of him, you realized that Hua's memory never existed in the first place, right?"

Elysia whispered:

"Yes, as you said, that's exactly it."

"I think Hua must hold an irreplaceable and unrepeatable position for Su Qing'an, so even in the scattered records of her instincts, she wouldn't reproduce memories about the other person."

Satou Yunona's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Ugh, why do I have to be forced to eat cold, hard dog food like this?

Frustrated, she petted the cat even harder. The Little White, being Honkai Beast by nature, offered no objection, simply purring contentedly, its cat eyes half-closed, its pink paws resting on the little girl's thighs, thus ignoring the eerie song drifting from afar.

Bronya pondered for a moment, but didn't feel any regret.

Although we failed to achieve our initial goal here, we wouldn't have received the good news that Xiao Su had regained consciousness and was with Mei if we hadn't Sea of Quanta.

Therefore, their time and effort in coming to this place was not in vain.

Those who knew the whole story even earlier than Raiden Mei were better able to understand the current situation.

If the original plan was to find a way to turn Fu Hua back into the original Fu Hua, then one could then try to resolve the conflicts and the endless tragedy spreading throughout the world.

The current route to clear the level is now clearer and has a higher success rate.

Su Qing'an's existence is the key to solving the root of all problems. Just like Mei thought, they also believed that as long as the two of them met, all the problems that could be solved at present would be solved.

Kiana sighed politely:

"Then we'll take our leave now, Miss Elysia."

Elysia blinked, her gaze lingering on the kitten. In the Sea of Quanta, there were hardly any living animals, and successors to such a trio of exceptionally beautiful women were rare. Therefore, she asked with a touch of reluctance:

"Oh, are you leaving so soon?"

"I heard from Mei that Sea of Quanta is in an unknown deep sea. It must have been difficult for you to get here. Won't you stay a little longer?"

Satou Yunona hesitated for a moment, then handed the dazed Little White to the Pink Fairy Lady's surprised gaze, and said softly:

"We don't know what's going on outside yet."

"So we'll stay a little longer and then leave, Elysia."

She turned to Kiana and said:

"You've been Seawater for almost an hour, you should rest for a while, otherwise you'll hurt yourself."

Before the other party could refuse, Satou Yunona continued:

"You also noticed that this World Bubble probably has some kind of teleportation mechanism, otherwise we might have run into Mei and Su Qing'an directly."

"If we want to leave here and remain inseparable, both your Herrscher Authority and my Timeline observations are essential elements."

Kiana glanced at the slightly faded ring emblem on the edge of the other woman's wrist and suddenly realized that during the escape, only Satou Yunona had continuously used her ability. Almost every time, she would observe the Timeline again and again to avoid any accidents.

Even with five layers of records, it wouldn't be pleasant to use for an extended period of time.

Moreover...

The source of this strange ballad may be a very troublesome entity.

Under the protection of the Taixu Sect, the group had no worries about the outside world's stance or their own interests.

In contrast, considering his own situation, leaving the Sea of Quanta in a completely natural state to ensure a reunion with Mei and Su Qing'an is the most important thing.

She agreed softly.

"Yes, you're right, Yuno."

Let's rest here for a bit.

Bronya nodded in agreement, then looked at Elysia playing with the Little White dog on her lap, speechless.

Theoretically, memory cells don't have a physical body, so why can they happily pet cats like this?

The gray-haired beauty put aside this delicate question, closed her eyes, and let her mind wander, thus finding rest.

During their escape, the three of them each performed their duties. Her use of the Herrscher Authority has gradually regained its original proficiency in recent times, but she still feels quite tired and needs a period of rest and recuperation to fully recover.

Meanwhile, outside the Sea of Quanta, the gradually rising Honkai Energy Index is interfering with the already extremely dangerous and bizarre phenomenon, slowly giving rise to Honkai Beast, and a new food chain emerging from the dark and deep Seawater.

This phenomenon, which seems incredibly unbelievable today, has been occurring in every corner of the world since the arrival of the Sea Herrscher.

The arrival of this unknown being seems to have drawn the attention of the Honkai Consciousness back to this [Lostbelt] Leaf World, which is rife with phenomena and has even shown signs of civilization. Thus, the candidates whose qualifications had been erased were reinstated, and the final trial began.

As for the specific difficulty and scale of the trial...

Clearly, these are discrepancies derived from a combination of current technological capabilities and the duration of the Honkai.

While Raiden Mei led Su Qing'an to the research institute, and everyone in the Sea of Quanta was still unaware of this, the Honkai, dormant for hundreds of years, seized this opportunity to Honkai like a resurrected dormant volcano, unleashing a terrifying force that surpassed all previous historical records and began to drastically alter the landscape of this Proper World...

Chao Xian City, Cangwu Palace.

The Tome of Cangxuan Profound sat atop the Soul Steel Sphere, addressing the Emperor on the Your Excellency, and delivered the information in a mechanical tone:

"Your Excellency, since the fall of the Scandinavian Peninsula five minutes ago, all regions of the world, except for the breeding farms, have been experiencing massive demonic reproduction at varying rates. The Honkai Energy Index threshold has already reached the breeding indicators predicted by our data from a century in advance."

"Currently, the Imperial Guard of [Chaoxian] and the numbered units from the major urban areas are heading to suppress the rebellion. The intelligent system of [Dragon Court] is coordinating the allocation of the bionic demon forces as needed, and the Fusion Warrior units reserved in the city are awaiting orders."

"The extraterrestrial forces stationed in the ring-shaped star system have sealed off the local space and are responsible for capturing and eliminating the alien civilization that stole the World Bubble Farm. So far, they have only seized less than a third of the enemy's ships and have not yet found the location of their main body."

"Currently, a large number of people are flooding into the main urban area, while first-class citizens, including those from the Taixu Continent, are heading to the safe-sequence World Bubble. Planetary warships will be guarding the corresponding sparks in the Sea of Quantum."

"As for the rest, Your Majesty, please Your Excellency the decision."

Her Your Excellency turned off the video that had finished playing on the table. Her rose-red eyes reflected the mechanical, inorganic face of the Tome of Cangxuan, and a few subtle ripples stirred in her heart.

The current state of the Tome of Cangxuan Your Excellency's cruelty.

However, Xiao Xuan was ultimately different from the Armed Puppet that Klein had meticulously created to maintain the Sea of Quanta. She was merely a playmate that Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu had created for the original Immortal Chi Yuan using the existing conditions and technology.

Nearly a thousand years have passed since Su Qing'an fell into slumber. Even with abundant energy, Xiao Xuan's original mental model began to gradually wear down at some point, eventually...

In a sense, it ushered in a death-like reset of one's personality.

The current Tome of Cangxuan is merely a remnant left behind by that former family member.

Perhaps out of remembrance, or a desire not to forget, or simply out of a pure desire for control, the woman had the research department build the Sky Net system around it, and allowed the current Tome of Cangxuan to become the main AI responsible for this system.

Fu Hua said calmly:

"That outsider, who appears to be Herrscher, is the reason for the renewed Honkai outbreak."

"And the desperate measures taken by those foreign civilizations might explain why she came to our world."

The woman rose from her seat, wearing a black, narrow-sleeved, front-buttoned coat that accentuated the fullness and allure of her breasts. A black horse-face skirt cinched her waist, highlighting its suppleness and slenderness, with varying shades of black weaving together an elegant and exquisite landscape.

At this moment Your Excellency was no longer wearing that gilded robe. Apart from the belt adorned with thirteen gemstones, he had almost completely abandoned his usual attire. His three thousand white hairs, which usually flowed down his back, were tied into a high ponytail, exuding a touch of dashing elegance.

Within her dark pupils, a barely perceptible world of mystery held the only thing she could hold in this world; her outer irises grew increasingly crimson, as if stained with blood, exuding a sense of desolation. She whispered:

"Has the data report come out yet?"

The Tome of Cangxuan replied:

"Based on the detection and image analysis, the other party is not a living entity. Like that mirage, it is similar to a projection and an illusion. It is also different from the Herrscher, as no central energy source similar to the Herrscher Core could be detected."

"The data transmitted by [Dragon Court] detected Honkai Energy fluctuations similar to those of the other side outside the world, and ultimately, through a series of methods, they discovered that the true form was a demon."

"However, unlike any level we've encountered before, its existence lies above the End-of-Law class. According to the theoretical concepts of the previous era, perhaps calling it Planetary-class demon would be more appropriate."

Your Excellency said softly:

"Planetary-class?"

"It's much weaker than we initially imagined."

The Tome of Cangxuan responded:

"Your Excellency should know that Planetary-class level is not a synonym for dimensional advancement; it's just that someone elevated this concept to a level that doesn't belong to it."

"Even so, before the Sin Domain Anchor Point returns, our existing military equipment and technology will find it difficult to launch an effective lethal attack against it."

In short, the opponent is almost at the Finality, or even more so than before.

Upon hearing this, the woman lowered her eyelashes. Her smooth, jade-like hand stroked the table, picking up a black chess piece from the board. Her lips curled slightly as she spoke:

"It shouldn't be here."

"This is a stage play that belongs only to him and me."

She twirled the black mote between her fingers into a barely visible speck of dust, and said indifferently:

"I will let it roll back to where it belongs."

"If you refuse, then execute me."

The Tome of Cangxuan seemed to have no doubt that the other party was capable of single-handedly dealing with a demon of this level. It simply remained silent, bowing its head and waiting for the Your Excellency to move to a position facing the outside sunlight before continuing to slowly kowtow with its back to the other party, and softly said:

"Respectfully seeing Your Excellency."

"May you be invincible."

The moment she finished speaking, the woman behind her tore through the air, traversed the vast sea of clouds, and arrived at an unknown distance, leaving behind an empty and desolate palace.

At that moment, on the Chao Xian City, Raiden Mei had just brought Su Qing'an to the research institute.

Arctic Ocean.

The sky, which had seemed to be perpetually bright, was now boiling with bizarre forms amidst the vast expanse of black clouds, swirling with immeasurable Honkai Energy, and churning with pure waves and smoke. Following the will of some being, it was issuing a judgment called destruction upon the countless All living beings below.

It was as if ancient gods were exchanging pieces on a chessboard teeming with life, citing reasons such as a once-in-a-millennium flood, meteorites falling from the sky, and inexplicable plagues and other natural disasters...

At this moment, the girl, who seemed to be acting on behalf of a god, looked at the Iceland, now bathed in the light of day and shattered by the tectonic plates, her expression indifferent, unmoved by the cries and demise of countless lives.

There was no joy, no wavering, no murderous intent, no confusion.

For her, this might not even be considered slaughtering cattle or chickens, but merely an instinct and duty ingrained in her soul and bones. Yet, she could hardly perceive the solemnity and faith that came with taking pride in her duty, as if it did not exist.

The sea beneath her feet rippled with waves, her white sacrificial robes swayed in the wind, a blue gemstone adorning her forehead like a beauty mark, highlighting her fair skin, her eyes held a sense of chaos, her lips parted, and a dirge of despair drifted to the ends of the earth like a soul-reaping ghost.

This being, which had annihilated everything in its path and was essentially Planet-class Honkai Beast, raised its head for the first time as if it had foreseen something, revealing a hint of emotion.

The Polar day.

The dark weather, stretching beyond human vision and churning with clouds and waves, is being forcefully evaporated by invisible wavelengths. Visually, it's as if the Polar day is rapidly replacing the night, and in this frigid environment, it brings warmth to dispel the winter snow.

In just a moment, control of the heavens was returned to zero.

The solitary emperor, revered as His Your Excellency and ruling this world for nearly a thousand years, silently gazed at the lifeless island below. With his eyelashes drooping, the color of his irises became even more vivid, like blood.

The woman descended from the clouds, but the Sea Herrscher couldn't see her move at all. In the blink of an eye, she stood in front of him, close enough to see the delicate patterns on her horse-face skirt and her slender fingers peeking out from her sleeve.

The entire process was like a few frames that had been cut from a video. Only the distant airwaves that tore apart the air, creating a distinct vacuum, and the sudden surge of the tide on the sea behind them could prove the trajectory of the other party's approach.

Fu Hua gazed at the Planetary-class demon whose true form was still far away, and asked:

"Name."

Sensing the incredible life force emanating from the other person, the girl responded:

"Jana."

"This is the code name we just chose."

His Your Excellency his head to gaze at the faint crimson glow visible amidst the distant waves, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

She viewed human life as a cold, hard number, with no principles or bottom lines that applied to any individual.

She implemented the Honkai Index policy, which has led to countless tragedies and sacrifices over the centuries.

She is the most tyrannical monarch in the history of this civilization, and also... the most formidable supporter of this Proper World.

Jana's sins are perhaps not even one ten-thousandth of Fu Hua's.

But if she can do it, why should others be qualified to do it?

There is only one Your Excellency, both in heaven and on earth.

There is only one person in this world who can defy her will.

Fu Hua gazed at the body that had been cast in from outside the world and stated indifferently:

"You deserve to die."

Her horse-face skirt drew a beautiful arc in the air, and before Jana could react to her words, she gracefully and beautifully let her black boots sink into her abdomen.

If you record this action and the subsequent scene as a video playback, you can see that the power of this action and the consequences are so terrifying that they are beyond comprehension.

Jana's body was like a meteor tearing through the atmosphere, rubbing against the air and creating a raging fire, which was then extinguished in an instant in the vacuum environment. In a mere half-moment, she traversed layers of resistance and forcefully crossed a ten-thousand-meter-wide sea.

This was a pitch-black area, a deep-sea rock formation accessible only to ancient mayflies. Yet, the girl's body, like a sharp knife piercing through foam, broke through the solid crust with unparalleled pure power, falling freely into it as if in freefall.

At this moment, we are looking down at the Arctic Ocean from above.

His Your Excellency absurd scene, resembling Parting of the Red Sea, almost able to see the land of the deep, before vanishing in the blink of an eye.
