Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

Suddenly, a portal appeared on the beach, and several figures walked out of it. One of them, a white figure, looked at the azure sea, opened his arms, and shouted.

"Oh, the ocean, you are so blue."

"It's disturbing my ears." The faded person covered their left ear, somewhat speechless.

"How are you feeling, Sirin? Are you alright?" Remy asked Kiana.

Kiana shook her head. "I'm fine."

"Don't force yourself, or people will say we're capitalists," Xiling said with a smile as she turned around.

"Hey, don't drag me into this." Kevin walked past Xiling toward the sea, the sea breeze blowing on his face, giving him a sense of comfort.

"I'll tell you if I need anything," Kiana rolled her eyes at Xiling, annoyed. "Don't always treat me like a child who needs constant attention!"

"It's because you always like to put on a brave face that you've given people a stereotype." Xiling took a step back to avoid an object thrown by Kiana, which was... a lifebuoy.

“Speaking of which, aren’t we here to find that Abyss City? Isn’t our attire a bit impolite?” The Faded One, dressed in casual summer clothes, stood with his hands on his hips, gazing at the sea with Kevin.

At this moment, all five of them were dressed in relaxed summer outfits for a beach vacation.

Xiling's cartoon T-shirt, Remian's floral maxi dress, Kiana's sundress, Kevin's casual shirt, and the fading one's cool summer clothes.

“Oh my, we’re all at the beach, this is definitely the way to make it more fun.” Xiling walked between Kevin and the Faded One and put her arm around their shoulders.

"Can you feel it? The sea breeze blowing in your face."

The three of them closed their eyes simultaneously, letting the sea breeze gently caress their faces, bringing a cool sensation and a strange sense of comfort. They all let out a long, satisfied sigh: "Ah..."

Kiana looked at the three guys with disdain.

Several days have passed since that day, and their lives don't seem to have changed because of that incident; in fact... they seem to be having even more fun.

And he, the Herrscher of the Void, became their personal driver.

Thinking about this, Kiana's forehead broke out in a series of black lines.

In just a few days, they traveled all over the world. Well, you could say they traveled around, but they also resolved various collapse incidents in different places.

Just then, one of Kiana's phones rang. Kiana seemed to guess who was calling her, and stiffly picked up the phone to answer it.

The call connected, and Theresa's voice, which she tried to make sound light and cheerful, immediately came through: "Kiana? Um... have you had lunch yet?" A typical, conversation-making opening.

"……have eaten."

"That's good! Hmm... have you found Sea Abyss City?"

“We’re already in the target area,” Kiana answered truthfully, “but we don’t plan to go down yet.”

"I see... See you then, goodbye, Kiana."

"Well... goodbye, Theresa."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the communicator; she still felt a little uneasy.

Kiana quickly turned her attention to the person who had made her this way.

Xiling, who was fighting with the Faded Ones for the lifebuoy, suddenly shuddered, causing the lifebuoy to be snatched away.

Because of what the other party said, Theresa, Mei, and even Bronya called her dozens of times in just a few days. She went from being at a loss at first to gradually getting used to it.

Watching the person frolicking with others, Kiana sighed deeply. She had already given in; what would happen next was up to her future self.

As for now...

Kiana pulled out the super-powerful water gun she had secretly bought; she was going to blast that guy Xiling to pieces!

Watching Kiana rush towards someone on the beach with a water gun, Remian smiled and shook her head, then pulled out her own weapon and joined the fray.

The battlefield turned into a 4 vs. 1 situation. Soon, the hero, unable to bear the bullying any longer, ordered the seawater to drench everyone.

Kiana, who finally reached the shore, kicked one of the cheaters hard and was rewarded with the task of cleaning herself of water.

Xiling, who had been kicked, stood with her hands behind her back, a smile on her face. "What a thrilling duel!"

Four middle fingers were pointed directly at him.

"If you can't afford to play, don't play."

"Shameless."

"You're so damn awful."

"Xiling really needs to teach you a lesson."

Xiling chuckled at these harsh words and didn't refute them. It's easy for the strong to be despised by everyone; this is the inevitable path for the strong, and he's used to it.

Ignoring the whispers behind her, Xiling's gaze seemed to pierce through the ocean and reach the deepest part of the building.

Haiyuan City.

The ruins left over from the previous civilization era should have been the center of the Mu Continent civilization, but they were swallowed up by the pseudo-black hole created by the Ninth Herrscher, leaving only a small part, which became the ruins we see today—a huge portal that can connect to the Sea of ​​Quanta.

Xiling saw a submarine enter Haiyuan City, and without much thought, she knew it was Theresa and her group.

Xiling and Anti-Entropy did not reach any cooperation. What Xiling wanted to do was too dangerous for them, so it's normal that they were unwilling.

However, they also knew that they probably couldn't stop Xiling from forcibly appropriating the Honkai energy of the entire city and directly converting it into some kind of energy. This seemed simple, but it was actually very incredible.

Even the Herrschers only obtain massive amounts of Honkai energy by connecting to the imaginary space through their core, while the opponent directly requisitions the Honkai energy of their native world. Does this mean that the opponent can instantly destroy all equipment that relies on Honkai energy for combat? This speculation is terrifying.

Therefore, once Xiling finds Haiyuan City, they will not stop her in any way. Although there is a high probability that they cannot stop Xiling, there is another factor: they believe that Xiling is probably not a bad person.

That's their assessment at least for the past few days.

"Alright, stop playing around." Xiling turned around and said calmly, "We're here on serious business."

"This guy's only good thing is changing the subject," Kevin said disdainfully.

"We'll add some spice to his cooking later, so he'll repent," the faded one said viciously.

Ignoring the two scoundrels, Xiling reached out her hand to Kiana and said, "Thank you, open the door."

Kiana, who was tidying her clothes, glanced at the other person with disdain, but still walked up to her and slapped Xiling's outstretched hand.

Kiana then stood by the sea with her eyes closed, as if sensing something. In the past few days, she had used the Herrscher of the Void's abilities many times. The power that she had once rejected was now being used quite smoothly.

100 meters, 1 kilometer, 3000 meters, 6 kilometers. At that moment, Kiana seemed to discover something. She suddenly opened her eyes, reached forward, and a portal connecting more than 6 meters underwater appeared in front of everyone.

"Well done." Xiling gave Kiana a thumbs up.

"Hmph! It's nothing." Kiana puffed out her chest proudly, but then, remembering something, her proud chest shrank back.

"Alright, you'll have to face this sooner or later, and we're here for you. Get used to it quickly." Remien patted Kiana's head.

"Your sister An is right, get used to it sooner rather than later." Xiling winked at Kiana, then strode towards the portal.

Seeing this, the others stopped and followed.

After all five of them had passed through the portal, Kiana casually closed it, and at that moment, the city underwater was reflected in everyone's eyes.

Haiyuan City.

Just then, a metallic scraping sound rang out, and soon one after another, tactical mechs automatically began to move upon detecting the intruders.

As he watched the approaching tactical mechs, Xiling's lips slowly curled into a smile. Then, he raised one hand and snapped his fingers lightly forward.

When Theresa and the others arrived, they saw one tactical mech after another, motionless in place. Five people were standing under one of the tactical mechs, striking various poses. A mobile phone, though not being operated, was floating in the air, taking one photo after another of them.

After taking the last photo, Xiling looked at Theresa and the others who had rushed over and raised her hand. "Yo, long time no see."

"Let's get on with what we agreed on earlier."

Chapter 129 Entering the Sea of ​​Quanta

"I didn't expect you to find us so quickly," Lisser said calmly.

“We could have done it earlier, but we wanted to give you some extra time,” Xiling said as she walked beside her.

"By the way, is Cocolia there?"

Upon hearing Xiling inquire about Bronya, where Cocolia was located, he calmly focused his gaze on Xiling.

"What do you need her for?" Lisel asked.

"Oh, if she were here, I would have killed her directly." Xiling's tone didn't change at all.

Lisser frowned slightly, but before she could say anything, Bronya, who was standing next to her, spoke up.

"Why did you kill Cocolia?"

"Of course she deserves to die, doesn't she?" Xiling's gaze fell on Raiden Mei, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Someone has to be held responsible for the tragedy in Changkong City.

After a moment of silence, Lisser spoke. "She's not here." As if afraid that Xiling wouldn't believe her, Lisser added, "She was here a couple of days ago, but it seems she received some information and hurriedly evacuated from Haiyuan City."

"That guy took the Gem of Desire with him when he left, I don't know what he did with it." Theresa couldn't help but get a little angry when she talked about Cocolia.

"Oh, then I guess the World Serpent notified her." Hearing this, Xiling roughly understood what was going on. He felt a little disappointed, as he had thought he could accomplish two things this time.

“The energy frequency of the Eye of the Abyss has been unstable lately. Are you sure you want to activate it at this time?” Lisel steered the conversation toward Xiling’s purpose for coming here today.

"It's alright. My method of opening it is a little different from yours, but don't worry, it won't affect the Eye of the Abyss. If there are any problems, just ask me and I'll fix it for you." Xiling said confidently and promised that she would not damage the Eye of the Abyss.

“That would be best. There’s one more thing I need to remind you of. Once the Eye of the Abyss opens, the enormous energy will attract the surrounding Honkai Beasts, and the number of them could be quite large,” Lisser said, as if reminding Xiling.

"Once these Honkai Beasts destroy the Eye of the Abyss, you may never be able to come back."

Xiling nodded to indicate that she understood, and then said, "Don't worry, we'll have some backup plans outside, and even if it's shut down, we should still have a way to come back."

“That would be best. There’s another matter, and I don’t know if you agree with it.” Lisser turned her gaze to Xiling.

"When you open the Eye of the Abyss, may I observe from the sidelines?" Lisser wanted to see how the other party opened the Eye of the Abyss, perhaps she could gain some insights from it, and have some experience for future research.

Xiling nodded indifferently, "Sure, but I can't guarantee the church's safety."

“Then that’s my question.” Lisser nodded. As a genius, a genius with potential, and one of the greatest scientists in human history, she had absolute confidence.

Kevin looked around Haiyuan City in amazement, but the thought that this was the last remnant of the Mu Continent inevitably stirred a ripple in his heart.

Even though the future of the Ninth Herrscher's birth is still several years away, looking at this relic still inevitably puts some pressure on him.

"We will absolutely not let that future come to pass."

Kevin vowed in his heart that no matter what happened, the future must be changed.

Just as he was thinking, Xiling, who had been walking ahead of Lisser, had somehow appeared beside him, put an arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, we haven't been to the central area of ​​Mu Continent yet. Last time, I went to Eden's concert with Su, and we haven't been back since. Seeing the scene in Haiyuan City, why don't you invite your buddy to take a look?"

"Why do I have to pay?" Kevin asked with a hint of disdain, snapping out of his reverie.

Xiling said matter-of-factly, “Since you’re a local, you’ll definitely have to treat us. We should invite Tianyi, Jiuxiao, Danheng, and Elena so we can all experience just how prosperous this Mu Continent really is.”

"Okay, okay, okay." Kevin nodded as if he had no other choice.

Their words were made without any attempt to conceal their true intentions, and were openly and frankly heard by everyone present.

Lisser pondered in silence.

Is the Mu Continent they're referring to the former civilization that's already destroyed? If it really is that Mu Continent, why would they be discussing such a question?

There is only one answer.

Lisser clearly remembered how they had introduced themselves a few days ago.

They are not from this world.

Lisser looked toward the location of the Eye of the Abyss.

That is the portal to the Sea of ​​Quanta.

The Sea of ​​Quanta

The ocean is theoretically an ocean with countless parallel universes, but this is only what they have learned from their research. They have never actually reached the other side of the ocean; the quantum ocean is still too mysterious to them.

But now there is something before her: those people behind her, perhaps... are the ones who have arrived in their world from the other side of the sea.

Lisser wouldn't pretend to know what she didn't, because that would make her look stupid. So she would ask questions directly when faced with problems.

"Did you come here from another universe?"
