Chapter 104
Bronya: "..."
Bronya suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten about this. Seele had been alone and miserable in the Sea of Quanta for so many years, she must have suffered a lot, right?
Without her own company, Seele has gone insane!
Bronya: "Waaah, Seele, it's all Sister Bronya fault for leaving you alone in the Sea of Quanta. Bronya swear I'll heal you!"
Bronya was heartbroken and felt immense pain.
Sue: "From my professional perspective, Seele's abnormality isn't necessarily a bad thing."
Bronya: "What do you mean?"
Sue: "Normally, the two personalities of a schizophrenic patient do not appear simultaneously. Seele's condition is more like an instinctive protective mechanism."
Sue: "When that strong personality appeared, it didn't replace Seele, but rather consulted with her before making what it believed to be the right choice."
Sue: "Therefore, she is not only harmless to Seele, but also beneficial to her growth, making up for her personality flaws."
This is a bit tricky.
If it's a camouflage mechanism, then the existence of another Seele is both inevitable and necessary due to its time-limited nature. From a medical perspective... it seems no treatment is needed.
Su Weiwei frowned. In all his years of medical practice, he had never encountered such a case.
Elysia: "As expected of Su, your analysis is truly professional. You're definitely the one slated to become the head of the medical department that the Fire Moth is planning to establish."
Su: "Uh, let's talk about the ministerial position after it's established."
Why does Su feel that whenever there's no suitable candidate, he's always the one to step in?
Is it because you have many side jobs and are considered versatile?
Theresa: "It's great that Sue is the Minister of Medical Affairs. Maybe I can help Bronya's sister get diagnosed sometime; perhaps I can even treat her dissociative identity disorder."
Sue: "I think I explained it very clearly just now. It wasn't schizophrenia, but rather a protective mechanism of the body's instincts."
Bronya: "So, there are two Seele now?"
Hehehe, two Seele, Bronya can almost see the wonderful life he'll have after rescuing Seele from the Sea of Quanta.
Just thinking about it is exciting.
Su: "?!!"
So after all that explanation, all you cared about was that your sister became two?
Su felt like she couldn't keep up with the way the young people thought.
[In the scene, the fog and darkness gradually recede, revealing a wide road, and the Gem of Desire lies on the other side.]
Bronya smiled with satisfaction as she completed the test.
"The labyrinth is gone, Core of the Herrscher of Reason is right there. Seele, thank goodness, you're alright."
"Yes, Seele is fine."
Bronya looked at Seele behind her, completely unaware of the other's unusual behavior.
Bronya had complete trust in Seele, the girl she had longed for for so long.
"Finally, I've met you, big sister~. That's the Core of the Herrscher of Reason. I never expected it to appear in this way."
Seele smiled sweetly, "With this, Seele can be with her big sister forever in the outside world."
You are not Seele!
Bronya finally realized something was wrong, as it didn't match Seele's tone at all.
"Who are you talking about? What did you do to Seele?"
"Oh, how sad, my sister doesn't even recognize me? But then again, this should be our first meeting."
Veliona introduced herself.
"Then let me introduce myself. I am the other her, residing within Seele's body."
"I don't understand what you're saying. Give Seele back to Bronya!" Bronya pointed her weapon at Seele.
"Hehe, I understand how you want to protect Seele, sister. Don't worry, we were born as one, I won't hurt her."
Veliona said with a smile.
"On the contrary, I know a way to save Seele. Please give me the Core of the Herrscher of Reason, sister. That way, Seele and I can return to reality."
"Bronya will use the Eye of the Abyss to bring Seele back!"
"It's no use. Seele is different from her sister; her body has been completely assimilated by the Sea of Quanta. The X-10 Experiment granted her the power to travel through the Sea of Quanta."
Veliona changed the subject. "But the power went beyond her control, and in the end, it backfired on her own body. This is a story we both know; ordinary methods couldn't save her."
Upon hearing this, Bronya frowned slightly. She was aware of the experiment, but she hadn't expected Seele to have been assimilated by the Sea of Quanta.
In other words, the methods prepared by Einstein and his colleagues may not work for Seele.
Bronya: "Assimilation into the Sea of Quanta? Is that even possible?"
In the original experiment, not only Bronya, but even Cocolia, who proposed the experiment, only had a superficial understanding of the Sea of Quanta.
She only knew that Seele was trapped in the Sea of Quanta and that she needed to enter the Sea of Quanta to save her; she didn't expect that she would also be affected by being assimilated by the Sea of Quanta.
Welt: "Theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible. According to the other personality, Seele was forced into the Sea of Quanta because of an experiment, which is different from the method used by the Eye of the Abyss."
Theresa: "Welt, you should have a way, after all, you're one of the world's top ten experts!"
Welt: "Hmm... theoretically, yes."
He's already made that claim, how can he say it won't work?
In order to maintain his persona as a senior researcher at Anti-Entropy, rather than Welt, the Anti-Entropy Leader, he had to handle even the most difficult tasks.
Bronya: "Teacher Welt, please tell Bronya what the method is! Bronya will definitely rescue Seele."
Himeko Murata: "Bronya, don't rush, can't you see that Teacher Welt is still thinking?"
Welt: "Given the resources we have, I suggest following the approach outlined in Bronya's [Fundamentals of the Sea of Quanta], which involves transforming individuals from a quantum state to a biological state... After all, it's readily available theoretical knowledge."
There's no way around it. Asking him to come up with a way to turn a completely quantumized person back into their original form within minutes is practically asking too much of the Anti-Entropy Leader.
But to maintain his image as a highly skilled expert, he must remain composed.
Bronya: "But Teacher Welt, even the simplified version of that part is still as tall as Bronya."
Welt: "Uh... for Seele, Bronya, let's work together."
As the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance and a current Herrscher of Reason, his research on the Eye of the Sea of Quanta is at least somewhat in-depth.
For Welt, acquiring Bronya's theoretical knowledge is merely a matter of time.
But with virtually no foundation, Bronya, who only recently began advanced studies, is finding it very difficult.
Chapter 172 Bronya Gets Defeat Again
Bronya: "In the end, is Bronya still going to have to struggle with all that theoretical knowledge?"
No way! She's just a Herrscher of Reason wants to ride a motorcycle and flirt with Seele, and she's only a half-baked one. Why is she being forced to deal with so much knowledge?!
Himeko Murata: "You've had a tough time, Bronya. Every day you have to deal with stuff that even I, the Doctor, find incredibly difficult to understand, even though it's all readily available and all you have to do is comprehend it."
Bronya: "Hehe, it's alright. It's just that Bronya, who's still a student, is studying the content of research papers from large research institutions. It's alright, it's alright, Bronya can handle it, hehe."
Raiden Mei: "Luckily, I don't have to learn these things."
Mei isn't as stupid as Kiana, but she's just academically excellent.
Bronya, on the other hand, was facing the principles of Anti-Entropy mech construction and the fundamental knowledge of the Sea of Quanta —topics that would be discussed by a large number of scientists even in a research institute.
No wonder Bronya's eyes were blurry and she looked like she wasn't thinking straight.
Even if she has good grades, St. Freya Academy is planning to let Bronya skip a grade, skipping a grade like this is completely beyond the curriculum!
[In the scene, Veliona's words weighed heavily on Bronya's heart like a boulder.]
Ordinary methods couldn't get Seele out of the Sea of Quanta. Bronya felt a mix of emotions when she learned this.
"Fortunately, I have some good news. Aren't you curious, sister, why Seele is here?"
Veliona gave a wicked smile.
"The answer is that someone saved us, but of course, there was a price to pay."
After the experiment failed, Seele was trapped in the Sea of Quanta, drifting in the void day after day, year after year, searching for an exit.
Until one day, in the endless darkness, a voice found them.
"I don't know who he is, and neither does Seele, but he helped us get out of there. He also promised to let us leave the Sea of Quanta and return to our familiar reality, on only one condition."
Veliona stared at the Gem of the Herrscher of Reason right in front of her.
"The condition is to find the Core of the Herrscher of Reason for him and remove the barrier that isolates the Sea of Quanta."
Bronya paused for a moment.
Bronya could only think of one person who possessed this power and wanted to remove the barrier.
"Stop! You're helping the snake break its seal!"
"Stop? Seele doesn't understand. He saved us. I'm able to stand before my sister now thanks to his power. He also promised me he would create a world where Seele can live too."
The conditions offered by the snake were very tempting. Moreover, Veliona knew the power the other party possessed and understood that she didn't have many options.
"He just wants to leave the Sea of Quanta; it's using you!"
Bronya shouted, but Veliona just smiled.
"Sister Bronya, it's so dark and cold there. We've been here too long. If there were any other way, I wouldn't want to help him."
I want to... leave this place!
A massive scythe appeared in Veliona's hand, and the sudden surge of power instantly crushed Bronya.
"Sleep well, Sister Bronya. When you wake up... it will all be over."
Bronya collapsed to the ground, too weak and drowsy to even lift her head, only able to see Seele's departing footsteps.
The video ends here.
Kiana: "Bronya, it seems you've lost again, this time to your sister Seele."
Kiana had a lot to complain about, like Kevin, and how powerful the other Seele was.
But in this situation, Bronya's repeated mishaps and setbacks are something I really have to talk about.
She wanted to hug a slice of watermelon and quietly watch Bronya's expression when she found out she couldn't even beat Seele.
Bronya: "Seele, the other Seele is amazing. Bronya didn't even see how she made her move."
All she saw Seele finish speaking, pull out a huge scythe, and then lie down instantly.
Even if I'm weak, I can't be this weak, right?
Or is Seele just too strong?
The familiar scene reminded Bronya of Kevin's experience; she too had no time to react before her driver's license was revoked in an instant.
Elysia: "Stigmata Adept, no wonder Kevin took a liking to that little girl. Bronya, your sister Seele has quite the potential. And she's such a cute and well-behaved young lady."
Pardofelis: "Sister Elysia, let's put aside the potential for now. How did you see that she was well-behaved?"
Seele drew her scythe and swung it with surprising speed, and her threatening gaze made her seem anything but obedient.
Elysia: "Pardofelis, we need to see beyond the surface. The original Seele is undeniably cute, but her other personality is also quite interesting. Her strength and threat are just the camouflage of a flower."
Bronya: "Agreed, Bronya's Seele is the cutest in the world, but I'm not giving her to you!"
After spending so much time together, everyone knows exactly what kind of person Elysia.
Based on what she just said, Bronya had every reason to believe that this Pink Fairy had set her Seele on Seele after touching Sister Mei's horn.
Seele is so cute and delicate. If she fell into Elysia's hands, she would definitely be teased and bullied to death.
Elysia: "Hey, Miss Bronya, what about the most basic trust between people? Do you think a beautiful girl like me is the kind of person with bad intentions?"
Bronya: "No, you are!"
What was initially just suspicion has now become certain that Elysia Bronya plotting against her Seele.
