Collapse, I save everything alone

The first thing to be addressed is, of course, the issue of the progress of resetting this world bubble.

Does each reincarnation last the same amount of time?

If the previous reincarnation was ten days, then after Xier joined here, would destruction also come on the tenth day?

Can the addition of new actors to the stage add new twists to the drama?

Or is it that in this drama, no matter what you do, it will be futile?

In addition to this most critical issue, the issue of time is also what Mingyu is most concerned about.

——Due to the constraints of reality and his body's endurance, the time he can stay in the quantum sea is quite limited.

It was estimated that he could only maintain activity for about twelve hours, and nearly six hours had already passed before he came to this world.

In other words, the time he can stay in this world is at most six hours.

If he had to wait for several days to observe the results, he might not be able to make it in time this time.

Although he had updated the save point before entering this world bubble, if the problems with Xier and this world bubble could not be solved within six hours, then he really had no choice but to return first and make other plans.

Of course, it would be best to resolve the problem here as quickly as possible.

"Time? Well, Xier can't remember it clearly."

The girl answered honestly.

Drifting in the quantum sea, her sense of time has long become quite weak.

There is no sun or moon in the sea. Only when you occasionally enter another world to soak in, can you feel the passage of time from that false sky.

Fortunately, her habit of keeping a diary can help herself and Mingyu confirm how much time has passed.

In order to avoid any problems with her own narration, Xier planned to hand the diary directly to Mingyu and let him take a good look at the information recorded in it.

"Well, I'll lend you my diary."

Xier handed the blue diary to the air in front of her.

"Well, that's okay too."

Mingyu nodded and took the diary handed to him by Xier.

This diary... looks like a creation created by Seele using Honkai energy rather than a product of this world. So, now I am just a "viewer" and can access it without any obstacles?

Time was limited, so he did not hesitate and immediately started flipping through Xier's diary.

Xier looked at her diary being turned in the air, and suddenly seemed to remember something. Her pretty face turned red, and she quickly added a sentence in the diary:

"Oh, um...if it's possible, can we skip reading the previous content..."

What she was referring to, of course, were the diary contents that had nothing to do with her experiences in this world.

——To be honest, before meeting Mingyu, Xier had never imagined that her diary would one day be seen by other people.

Although she did write down thoughts like "I hope I can be found" and "I hope someone can read these diaries" in her diary, those were just the girl's unrealistic wishes.

Therefore, everything she recorded in her quantum diary were her truest thoughts and ideas.

Now, if I were to express my true inner thoughts without reservation to Mingyu whom I met for the first time, it would be somewhat... embarrassing for the shy girl.

"...Yeah, I see. I won't read the previous content."

The new words made Xier feel at ease.

Unfortunately, she spoke a little late.

Mingyu casually flipped through a few pages and happened to see some of her diaries that she had written before she came to this world.

As for the content...

After all, she is just a teenage girl who has fallen into such a dark abyss. It is normal for her to be sentimental and record her lost and helpless emotions in her diary.

for example--

“Even if a flower like sunflower likes warm weather but can endure cold weather, always facing the sun and hope, it won’t live long if no one takes care of it…”

"I looked at myself in the mirror. My short hair looked messy. I wore a white shirt today. It was the one I bought with Sister Bronya before... But I still looked so inconspicuous..."

“I know that no one except me and my other self will see these words. I only write them for myself, but I still want to record them… Maybe it’s because recording this thing itself is not meaningless.”

Xier's loneliness and solitude can be seen between the lines. Even with the company of Hei Xi in her body, her journey wandering in the quantum sea is indeed quite lonely.

In short, Mingyu began to carefully read Xier's diary about this world and compared the passage of time.

Chapter 93 Ether Singularity

After Xier came to the world bubble of the Tower of Babylon, the time points for recording her diary were relatively fixed. She would record a quantum diary once a day, which also provided effective help for Mingyu to judge the passage of time.

After his comparison, he found that in the last reincarnation in this world, Xier stayed here for thirteen days and witnessed Xilin transforming into the "Hersher of the Void" and destroying the Tower of Babylon.

And this time, twelve days have passed since she joined here as a member.

However, because of Xier's joining and the fact that she underwent most of the experiments on her behalf, all of Xilin's friends are still alive this time.

Judging from what Xier recorded in her diary, the mental state of the purple-haired girl herself is still pretty good.

Therefore, according to this situation, there is probably a reason why Sirin did not transform into the "Hersher of the Void" this time.

After reading Xier's quantum diary, Mingyu returned it to the girl and said that it was written on it:

"It's all right, Xi'er."

"OK……"

The blue-haired girl stroked her bare hands, turned over a blank page, and continued writing on it:

"If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

Finally, an outsider who is truly like her appeared, and is also a friend of Sister Bronya. Seele is very happy at this moment.

She had been wandering for too long, and Mingyu's arrival was like hope to a drowning person.

At the same time, she also hopes to work with Mingyu to find a way to rescue the children trapped here.

——She had tried it, but it was impossible for her to accomplish such a thing alone with her wisdom and strength.

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to find a solution."

Mingyu consoled.

Then, he temporarily ended Xier's communication through the diary and left the small room.

Outside the door, the heavily-armored little rabbit was waiting obediently at the door, looking at him and Xier in the room from time to time through his electronic pupils.

Seeing that he seemed to have finished his work for the time being, the anxiously waiting artificial intelligence could no longer suppress its inner doubts and asked him eagerly:

"Master Mingyu, what were you talking about with Xier just now?"

She couldn't wait to reunite with her creator, but now Xier was right in front of her, but she couldn't contact or communicate with her.

After all, it was just a mecha. She couldn't communicate with Xier through the diary like Mingyu did. She could only stare at her from outside the door under Mingyu's orders.

"…Just some information about this bubble of a world. Anyway, if I want to take Xi'er away from here, it seems that I need to do something else."

Mingyu answered casually.

He didn't explain the specific situation to this artificial intelligence.

"So, is there anything I can do for you?"

The re-installed bunny asked with concern.

Even though she asked this, she still couldn't do anything that was too complicated.

After all, she is just a combat mecha.

In the past, when he was under Bronya's command, he just followed her orders and cooperated in the battle.

Mingyu thought for a moment, and then said to the heavily armed bunny in front of him:

"Uh... let me think about it. Xiaotu, you just stay here and watch over Xi'er and these kids for a while. Let me know if anything happens."

If he wants to investigate the situation of this world bubble, he can't stay in this small room all the time.

But Xier does need looking after, so just let Xiaotu take care of her.

If Xiaotu is not around, it will be more convenient for him to perform it alone.

"Okay, I understand, Master Mingyu!"

This responsibility was exactly what Xiaotu wanted, so she agreed to it without hesitation.

"Then please just watch here while I go to other parts of the Tower of Babel."

After waving goodbye to Xiaotu, Mingyu left the underground area alone.

..............................

While leaving the underground area of ​​the Tower of Babel and moving upward, Mingyu was also seriously thinking about how to solve the problem of this world bubble.

From what we have learned so far, this world bubble will capture outsiders and assimilate them into a member of this world bubble after certain conditions are met.

Xier has obviously suffered a lot and become a member here, but he is still in the early stages and has not been affected.

According to conventional thinking, it is more reasonable to wait for the moment of destruction of this world bubble in an orderly manner, witness its end with your own eyes, and then come up with a strategy.

However, Mingyu, who is in a hurry, does not have enough time to search for patterns carefully, peek at the results, and then come up with a solution.

He planned to solve the problem first by using another method that went straight to the root of the problem.

In addition to finding the rules of this world bubble and coming up with a way to take Xi'er away within the scope of the rules, there is of course a simpler and more brutal way to solve the problem -

That is to find the [ether singularity] of this world bubble and destroy it.

The so-called [ether singularity], also known as the [ether anchor point], is the existence that controls the rules and stability of a world bubble.

It is something that must exist in every world bubble, determines the various rules of each world bubble itself, possesses special authority, and is the foundation necessary for the world bubble to survive in the quantum sea.

For example, the universal wish-granting machine Graham in the Stargazing World Bubble and the Six Outer Paths in the Yae Kasumi World Bubble.

Once the [ether singularity] is lost or destroyed, the world bubble will soon be completely destroyed under the erosion of the quantum sea and rolled inward into fragments of space and time.

In short, if there is no way to rescue Xier according to the rules later, Mingyu must consider this simplest and most brutal method to solve the problem.

After all, if you do this, you don't have to care about the rules of this world bubble itself. As long as the world bubble itself is destroyed, Xier and others trapped in it can also be rescued.

Rather, if you want to rescue Xier within six hours, this direct and head-on approach of breaking the rules may be the only option.

If nothing unexpected happens, the ether singularity of this world should be somewhere within this Tower of Babylon - except for this place, there are no other living creatures in the entire snowfield, and the existence of Honkai energy cannot be sensed.

With his ghost-like state, he can move freely in the entire tower without disturbing anyone, which is very convenient.

——Now, he plans to investigate the staff in this tower first.

Chapter 94 Director

The Tower of Babel Laboratory has a total of 332 researchers divided into three different departments, each responsible for different research content.

The Advanced Systems Division is responsible for researching technologies that combine Honkai energy with the human body.

The Energy Department is conducting research on the basic theory of Honkai energy.

And the [Weapons Department] that applies Honkai energy to actual combat weapons.

The experiment that Seele and the other girls underwent was precisely the human body's Honkai energy adaptability experiment from the Advanced Systems Department.

In a laboratory of the Advanced Systems Department, two researchers in white coats were talking to each other.

One of them said to the other:

"I don't know why, but I haven't received any response to the contact and experimental data I sent to headquarters recently."

"Yes, I really want to produce results quickly, submit them to the higher-ups, and then apply to be transferred to work at the Tianming headquarters."

The other person also nodded in agreement.

Although the Babel Tower Laboratory is the second largest laboratory in the history of Tianming and has invested countless funds, it is still located on the permafrost of Siberia.

In this lonely tower, the supporting entertainment facilities and living facilities are pitifully few. At least, they are definitely not comparable to the floating island and surrounding environment of the Destiny Headquarters.

"This crappy place is so boring after staying here for a long time. I can't even see a Valkyrie."
