His goal was not to kill the Herrschers, but merely to disrupt their measurements and prevent the Herrschers from seizing the Gem of Desire that had fallen into the Sea of Quanta.
In fact, if the original process had been followed and only Bronya had entered the Sea of Quanta, the Gem of Desire would indeed have disappeared into the vast Sea of Quanta and never been obtained by anyone.
At this moment, below Haiyuan City, many researchers were fleeing in panic. Many of them lacked Honkai energy adaptability and were as fragile as glass in this battlefield filled with Honkai energy.
One after another, quantum monsters, resembling lobsters and crabs, with a strange dark hue, as clear as crystals yet without a fixed form like Newtonian fluids, burst forth from the boundary between the quantum sea and the real world, launching attacks on everyone present.
Raiden Mei tried to strike the quantum monster's shell with several bolts of lightning, but the damage was not significant, or rather, it had almost no effect.
These quantum monsters are actually insulated. Despite being high-energy aggregates, they can resist the flow of electrons, which are also energy. It is unknown what kind of strange structure they have.
“You’d actually be able to defeat these quantum monsters faster by just slashing them with a knife.” Seele knew more about these monsters than others, after all, she had spent a long time in the Sea of Quanta.
Bai Chen let out a long sigh. He knew his trip wouldn't go smoothly, but being constantly hindered by these little things was really annoying.
A brilliant gold light shone in his eyes, and the power of the Herrscher of the Void was activated.
An invisible domain suddenly descended upon the vast space at the bottom of Haiyuan City, and almost in the blink of an eye, the entire underground space was frozen.
Then came the spatial rifts invisible to the naked eye. Unlike Kiana, who could only use one at a time, Bai Chen could have absolute control over the space around him within a radius measured in kilometers. His fingers moved lightly, like a peerless pianist playing his proudest piece on the most exquisite piano.
The string-like sounds of space severed the bodies of one quantum monster after another. When the stagnation of space disappeared, hundreds of monsters were all cut into small pieces, which fell all over the ground like shards of broken glass, rolling around.
"Walter, bringing out such a low-grade thing only annoys people." Bai Chen knew who was the mastermind behind all this, and muttered under his breath as he strode toward the open gates of the Quantum Sea.
He hasn't replaced the simulation of the Herrscher of the Void yet, intending to do so after clearing the Quantum Sea. Although the simulation system's rules allow for a re-simulation from the same target after a successful simulation, instead of being unable to revert to the original state, the cooldown between simulation targets makes it somewhat inconvenient.
While the Herrscher of Thunder is not bad, it is far inferior to the Herrscher of Reason. Bai Chen wants to first obtain the power of the Herrscher of Reason to see if he can see through the deeper secrets of the world in a short period of time, and then switch to the Herrscher of Thunder to further develop the knowledge he has gained.
As for whether Welt Young would still be willing to pass on the core of the Herrscher of Reason to Bronya under these circumstances, it was not a problem for Bai Chen at all. He had no choice but to agree, whether he wanted to or not. It was simply a matter of handing it over while he was alive or while he was dead.
With an innocent, naive, easily deceived young girl who carries various burdens and ties, and is also more likely to shape one's personality and beliefs as an alternative, Walter Yang, a seasoned veteran, is not within Bai Chen's consideration.
Just as Bai Chen was about to step into the Sea of Quanta, the seal on the gate, which had already been opened, began to close again. Walter didn't even bother to pretend; he seemed determined to stop Bai Chen from entering the Sea of Quanta no matter what.
"Those who are already dead, just die quietly. You're just clinging to life with the core, yet you still try to interfere with my affairs..."
Bai Chen was genuinely angry. He knew that in a certain timeline, Bronya, who jumped into the Sea of Quanta in pursuit of the Gem of Desire, not only faced no obstacles, but was even chosen to participate in the Herrscher of Reason's succession test shortly after entering the Sea of Quanta.
The leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance is actually engaging in gender discrimination, allowing only young girls to enter and not allowing men to enter. This is simply outrageous!
A massive amount of Honkai energy descended beneath Abyss City, causing Bai Chen's clothes to flutter without wind and his slightly long hair to fly in all directions.
A golden octahedron with countless grids appeared before him. The moment the octahedron appeared, due to the extreme distortion of space, even the entire Haiyuan City experienced a spatial redshift.
At this moment, in the satellite imagery above, the diameter of Haiyuan City has shrunk by a full 20 meters!
"If you don't answer the door, I'll smash it down along with you."
Bai Chen changed his plans. To hell with the triple trial, he was going to tear Welt apart today, seize his Herrscher core, and take over Anti-Entropy!
Chapter 80 Cosmic Scar Structure
The golden octahedron is full of geometric beauty, with its perfect golden ratio and mysterious golden runes, making it look stunning and breathtaking.
This is a weapon that Bai Chen tailored for himself after more than half a month of exploration, relying on his existing knowledge. Bai Chen named it Plato Cube.
This is a Divine Key that can unleash the power of the Herrscher of the Void, but it is a fake Divine Key. It can only function in Bai Chen's hands, and even Kiana cannot activate it.
Bai Chen inscribed energy patterns on it, similar to holy marks. This was another application of holy marks. He found the relevant processes and knowledge in the database of Destiny Island and quickly applied them to his own abilities.
Bai Chen held the Plato Cube in his hand. As the octahedron rotated, the Eye of the Abyss in front of him was instantly shattered by a massive spatial collapse.
He has always been reluctant to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void without restraint in the real world because he discovered that his ability could permanently alter the form of space to some extent. If his abuse of power caused some hidden danger to the reality of the Honkai world, it might ultimately affect his evaluation of mission completion.
But now, he is about to step into the Sea of Quanta. According to his understanding of the Sea of Quanta, it is a place that is far more chaotic and more resilient than the real world. Even if he ruins the Sea of Quanta, it will not cause too much trouble to the real world.
“Otto, you continue to use the Cauchy-Gusa theorem to locate our target. I will leave Kiana outside. Once we have a definite result, she will follow the power of the Herrscher of the Void to find me,” Bai Chen said to Otto without consulting Kiana.
Then, her golden star-like eyes, radiating an aura of majesty, swept over the group around her: "Raiden Mei, Sakura, Bronya, Gresh, the four of you will come with me to descend into the Sea of Quanta. Seele, immediately release your summons. You are no longer in the Sea of Quanta. If you are still outside, we will have no way to find you."
This is a limitation of the fake book. Because Seele is still alive, and there cannot be two of her at the same time, Seele in the Sea of Quanta has now disappeared. Only by dispelling the summons and returning Seele to the point in time a few days ago can they truly bring Seele out of the Sea of Quanta.
Black Seele nodded. These past few days had been the longest she had occupied the body. Although she was happy to be able to move freely outside and play with Bronya, she was also getting a little tired of it. It was time to get rid of the cowardly little thing inside her who kept muttering about wanting to meet her sister.
Seele's body twisted and turned into pale flames, disappearing from the spot. She resisted the summons of the false book, and the contract was automatically dissolved.
The girls chosen by Bai Chen followed him into the Sea of Quanta. After all, not just anyone can enter the Sea of Quanta, and the four Bai Chen selected each had their own unique qualities: two fully-fledged fusion warriors, one Herrscher, and one Herrscher candidate—truly the strongest lineup.
After crossing the Eye of the Abyss, all that was left was darkness.
There seemed to be no light here. All the light from the outside world could not pass through the door between the real world and the quantum sea. This made Bai Chen wonder what kind of product could form the door behind him that could not pass through the medium of light.
But soon, after passing through what seemed to be a passageway, the pitch-black environment disappeared, and a dim white light, not bright but clear enough, appeared ahead.
Completely different from the quantum-powered ocean Bai Chen had imagined, the Quantum Sea was filled with various distorted images and discontinuous structures. Some resembled desert landscapes, others extreme snowfields, some volcanoes, others deep ravines, and still others ordinary events that occurred in human society.
But none of these had any physical form, and the distance between them could not be accurately estimated. Bai Chen could clearly sense that, apart from the girls following behind him, there was no matter with mass nearby, nor any entity that could cause changes in space.
It appears to be full of dazzling arrays, but in reality it is empty, illusory, and adrift—this is the quantum sea.
Plato's Cube released several broken chains that wrapped around the girls' wrists to prevent them from separating.
"This is the Sea of Quanta? Where should we go to find what we're looking for?" Raiden Mei asked.
“Seele once told me that although the Sea of Quanta is mostly nothingness, an untouchable void, there are stable islands within it, which are physical worlds that can be entered. We can find a stable island to rest and adapt first, and then consider the next step of our plan.” Bronya had asked Seele about the situation inside the Sea of Quanta more than once, so she had a better understanding of it.
This is definitely not a wrong suggestion. Ninety-nine percent of the people who come to the Sea of Quanta would make this choice, and even Kevin and Teyvat could not refuse it.
But now they are following the strongest Herrscher of the Void in this century.
"Plato Cube, begin recording." One spatial ripple after another spread outwards from Bai Chen into the quantum sea.
"The quantum ocean can be fundamentally explained using the many-worlds interpretation. There are projections of many worlds, and physical parameters change continuously with coordinate shifts. It is not known to be a four-dimensional space, but a huge folded plane, equivalent to the world wall of many small worlds."
Bai Chen sensed the spatial structure of the Sea of Quanta, and this wondrous spatial structure brought him many surprises.
He probably already knew where Fischl came from. If there was a magical place like the Sea of Quanta in this world... no, in the solar system of this broken world, then that would explain Fischl's origin.
If we compare the universe to a human body, then the solar system is like a scarred structure that has been damaged in the body, Honkai energy is like the tissue fluid that fills this structure, the real world is like the normal cellular tissue in the scarred structure, the quantum sea is like the connective tissue after the injury, and the imaginary tree is like a group of white blood cells trying to destroy the tissue.
As for all the worlds that can be reached through the Sea of Quanta, they are all proliferating cells within this scar structure!
"I see. As long as one masters the power of the Herrscher of the Void, one can determine one's location in the Sea of Quanta and find the other world one desires... Never mind, let's not rush this. We should deal with the current matters first."
Bai Chen looked down at his feet, where he vaguely sensed Honkai energy. Welt Yang had given himself away.
Chapter 81 Violence
Generally speaking, searching for things in the quantum sea requires extremely complex and expensive instruments as well as an exceptionally rigorous algorithm.
This algorithm alone is worth five years of doctoral study at a top university, assuming you graduate with a mathematical PhD and achieve the highest possible impact factor. Many universities in China, where a four-point impact factor is sufficient for graduation, might struggle to even understand the intermediate steps of this algorithm.
Unfortunately, Bai Chen, who is now standing in the Sea of Quanta, possesses the world's most advanced spatial calculation abilities and one of the world's most intelligent minds.
Moreover, the Plato Cube he created for himself, just as its name suggests, is not only a key of God used for attack, but also has the function of calculation and deduction.
The once peaceful and tranquil Quantum Sea is now gradually changing because of a certain person. Spatial power is being used recklessly, and Bai Chen, dragging the girls behind him, is like a dump truck driven by a rash driver, rampaging through the Quantum Sea.
Every now and then, some blind quantum creatures would pop out from some shadowy figure. These quantum creatures usually lived in the interlayer of the quantum sea, and would attack when they sensed a living person passing by.
And they were undoubtedly crushed one by one, because the method of spatial teleportation was too brutal, so much so that each landing point would cause a spatial tremor, and these monsters were torn apart in the spatial tremors.
"They run really fast," Bai Chen muttered.
Although he initially only sensed a vague location, as he got closer to his target and the number of spatial teleportations increased, this vague perception gradually became clearer.
If it were Welt in his prime, he might have been able to conceal the fluctuations of the Herrscher core, but now he struggles even to activate the Herrscher core. His ability to escape in the Sea of Quanta is already a testament to his unwavering will.
Moreover, he escaped quite quickly; no one knows how he did it.
However, no matter what, the speed of the Herrscher of Reason could not compare to Bai Chen's violent spatial movement. After dozens of spatial displacements, Bai Chen, carrying the several beautiful girls behind him, arrived in front of a world bubble firmly fixed by special etheric anchor points.
Along the way, they saw many floating world bubbles, but without exception, those small, fragmented world bubbles were all moving around in the quantum sea. Only the one in front of them was not only large, but also firmly fixed. More importantly, there were two other world bubbles closely connected to it behind this world bubble.
Bai Chen vaguely saw the shadow of a little boy within the World Bubble. That little boy was likely the core of the World Bubble, Joachim, a fragment of Welt Yang. This World Bubble was the place set up by Welt Yang to conduct the Herrscher of Reason qualification assessment.
As for the Herrscher of Reason's core, it should have been within these three world bubbles, but now, in order to avoid Bai Chen, the Will of Welt hidden within the Herrscher core has controlled the Herrscher core to escape in a more distant direction.
“Bronya, you can enter this world bubble to improve yourself.” Bai Chen pointed to the world bubble below.
Although Bai Chen didn't particularly like Welt, the trials he set were still of a certain standard. While Bronya possessed special physical attributes that allowed her to adapt to the Herrscher core to a certain extent, passing the trials of the three worlds would still be a valuable learning and growth experience for her.
Anyway, Bai Chen is already planning to seize it by force, so why not take advantage of the good things left behind by others?
Bronya did not refuse. Although she did not know exactly what it was, Bai Chen would not lie to her about such a thing. Although this guy seemed a bit crazy, he was reliable most of the time.
Pulling the heavily armored bunny along, Bronya quickly jumped into the World Bubble from above. The moment she entered the World Bubble, she lost a portion of her memories and, just as Welt had arranged, began to undergo the trials that had been planned long ago.
Bronya's trial will not be elaborated on. Outside, Bai Chen has accurately pinpointed the location of the Herrscher of Reason's core and performed a final long-distance teleport.
The world is changing, and a huge ripple is stirred up in the quantum sea. At the end of the ripple, an iron fortress that appeared out of nowhere is poised to attack, waiting for the uninvited guests.
It was a massive warship, much like the Hyperion, covered with countless unmanned machines, and with numerous cannons aimed at the core of the spatial fluctuations.
Above the warship, in mid-air, a man covered in mechanical armor was looking ahead with downcast eyes and a somber expression.
"Herrscher of the Void, why do you keep pursuing me? You have not been corrupted by the Honkai Will, and you still have a human soul and mind. You should know that a Herrscher cannot perfectly hold two cores at the same time. This will not increase your power by two times, but will only prevent you from using the full power you are capable of."
The man was none other than Welt Yang, the current leader of Anti-Entropy and humanity's second Herrscher of Reason. He stared at the group that had appeared through spatial teleportation, especially Bai Chen at the head, and loudly inquired.
His condition is visibly dire; his entire body is almost unreal. He is currently only relying on the Herrscher core for his spirit. Without a new Herrscher of Reason to inherit the core and simultaneously reconstruct his body, his spirit cannot sustain itself for much longer.
Bai Chen's eyes were filled with disdain as he glanced at the mechanical army constructed by Welt, wondering which kindergartener he intended to use these lumps of iron to deal with: "My purpose? Old man, your era has long passed. There are no ships for you in this new era. Quickly hand over the core of the Herrscher of Reason, and I will find you the most suitable successor. You just lie there obediently, and I will inherit the position of Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader, and incidentally find you the best coffin lid."
Bai Chen didn't want to use words to deal with Walter. Walter had his own beliefs and principles, but unfortunately, he wasn't on Bai Chen's side, and Bai Chen didn't think he could easily persuade him.
Of course, there's an even simpler way: punch him to give him a reason he can't refuse.
A deafening roar erupted from the Sea of Quanta, and the Plato Cube burst forth with a dazzling light that seemed to pierce through space.
Upon meeting, Bai Chen delivered a warp shockwave to the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance!
Chapter Eighty-Two: Snake Skin
The distorted space engulfed everything in the Sea of Quanta. The matter formed by the Herrscher of Reason was no different from real objects, and perhaps it could be enhanced by abilities, but this was not something Welt could do in his current state.
The sound of metal being crushed and shattered was deafening, interspersed with the roar of energy explosions. Countless expensive special alloys were squeezed together by space, they were aggregated and deformed. If the space compression time were longer, even the interatomic gaps between them might change.
"I know I can't defeat you, Herrscher of the Void, but I won't give up so easily."
Walter dodged in time, and a distorted black hole appeared in front of him. This was the Divine Key he was most comfortable using and understood the most clearly: the Star of Eden.
