Chapter 214 How did he know?
"So, our world is in an ocean?"
"Hmm."
"And it will be completely destroyed sooner or later?"
"Well, the world has its own laws... but that's a long, long time from now!"
Upon meeting Ellen, Sora held nothing back, telling the two everything about the World Bubble and the Quantum Sea. Listening to Sora's description, the two, whose worldviews were shaken, were dumbfounded.
The City of No Name is their everything, but to the sea, it is but a drop in the ocean. The monster of the sea, the Quantum Shadow, continues to erode their world...
"Bio, quickly use your brilliant brain to think of a solution!"
"Eileen, wait a minute!"
Impatient Eileen grabbed Bio's clothes and shook him violently, almost shaking Bio's brains to shreds.
Having broken free from Ellen's restraints, Bio straightened his suit, but his furrowed brows revealed his distress.
There's no need to question Qiong, because his descriptions are basically consistent with the results of his various observations over the years, the most typical example being the Unnamed Rocket Project.
Why did the rocket lose contact once it reached a certain altitude? There seems to be a non-existent dome in the sky, either a matter of rules or signal disruption. The answer from the extraterrestrial visitor, the dome, perfectly resolved Bio's doubts.
"Thank you for the information, Mr. Danheng. So, the world will be destroyed, but that's not something we need to worry about right now, right?"
Bio casually picked up the remote control, pressed a button, and wrote in the lower left corner of the projector: "The Quantum Sea's erosion will lead to the end of the world. Important but not urgent."
"Judging from the current situation, our biggest crisis is the attack of the Quantum Shadows. They suddenly appeared in the last two years and are an urgent problem... but we know too little about them. Alas, it's tough!"
Bio sighed deeply, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the sky.
Qiong: ...
Even though I know Bio is a good person, why does that sighing look of his make me want to punch him?
"Quantum attacks also include imaginary number attacks, but nothing else works."
……
"Quantum and imaginary numbers..."
Even with his wisdom as great as the Star of the Nameless City, after repeatedly reading the information he had obtained from Qiong, he couldn't figure out how to fight against the Quantum Shadow.
The current Destiny Technology can only force them back, not destroy them. The only knowledge he has about "quantum" is the quantum teleportation that Xiao Yang, whom he dismissed, showed him. But because Weiming City is so small, he rejected this thing that looked very advanced but would definitely lose money if built.
Should we go to the Anti-Entropy Research Institute to beg Yang Shijie for help? Or should we act impulsively and urge our own research institution to accelerate its research and development?
Putting aside his notes, Bio temporarily abandoned his thinking and started browsing the news. He soon came across one of today's top headlines: "Endless Energy" from the Anti-Entropy Research Institute.
"Little Yang..."
If Bioo made any mistakes, it was definitely firing Yang Shijie. He fired Yang Shijie and his friends because they contradicted him, and as a result, those engineers started their own institute, the Anti-Entropy Research Institute. In recent years, they have made breakthroughs in energy conversion technology and commercialized it, making the energy resources of the entire Weiming City more abundant than ever before. Now they're almost developing an inexhaustible energy source.
Wait, endless energy?
It is known that energy is conserved, so the existence of endless energy is relative. Given the current situation, could it be that reverse entropy, which has mastered quantum technology, is extracting energy from outside the world, creating the illusion of endless energy?
With that in mind, Bio immediately retrieved the records of the number of "Shadow Monster" attacks and the energy price change table from Catherine.
"A striking positive correlation..."

"Seele, why are you suddenly keeping your distance from me?"
For some reason, starting just now, Qiong felt that Seele was consciously keeping her distance from her—for example, on the way to the temporary accommodation that Bio had arranged for Qiong, Seele, who had been clinging to her before, actually chose to follow her and float behind her.
This is not normal.
"Huh? Is there?"
"Absolutely."
Seele was like a startled little rabbit, unsure of what to say for a moment.
"Tch, coward."
A mocking voice echoed in her heart. Just because she was afraid that she would suddenly appear and harm Sora, she chose to keep her distance from Sora.
But Qiong is her only chance to go back and see Bronya, so she is unwilling to leave and maintain this level of distance. Isn't this just deceiving herself?
Not daring to look directly into Qiong's eyes, Xier lowered her head.
“Brother Qiong, Xier... Xier is afraid that she will bring you danger. I don’t want you to be in danger because of me.”
"Danger? I am the greatest danger!"
Qiong felt a warmth in her heart. Bai hope was truly kind and really cute!
Ignoring the guide, Qiong took a few steps back, gently stroked Xi'er's head, and gazed into her eyes.
"Seele, don't be afraid. No matter what danger there is, it's not as dangerous as me! I, Qiong, am the Galactic Baseball Man, and I can take on ten of those Quantum Shadows!"
"No, no!"
She was forced to look into his eyes, and Seele became anxious.
"Brother Qiong, the danger is Xier! Actually, Xier has someone in her heart..."
"Seele!"
To prevent Seele from saying anything hurtful, Qiong interrupted her.
"I know everything! Isn't that just another version of yourself? That other you is still you, how could you possibly harm me?"
The moment Qiong touched her head, Seele's eyes turned from blue to red.
"Another...me?"
For a long time, Seele felt that she was probably mentally ill. Although she didn't say it outright, she did regard the "self" in her heart as a dark side, a demon, a shadow—sometimes even she herself felt that way.
But Seele was also very grateful to her, for it was this "dark side, demon, shadow" who helped her for a very long time: for example, when she later learned that Seele had hidden in her toy box because she was cowardly and was waiting for her mother Cocolia and her sister Bronya to stop Anne, it was she who came out and taught Anne a lesson; in the three years after the X-10 experiment, Seele felt that she would not have survived without her company in the dark and sunless Quantum Sea.
"Yes, the other you, who else could she be but you?"
Qiong pretended not to see Xier's eyes, which had turned red, but consciously withdrew her hand.
Honestly, Seele Vollerai, who can turn red and blue, always reminds Qiong of a sword ghost named "Longkui".
You know what, it actually looks quite similar?
"Mr. Danheng, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, here it comes!"
Negotiations with Hei hope cannot be rushed. Urged on by the guide, Qiong decisively began to work.
"He admitted that I'm also Seele? But he shouldn't know I exist! Even your sister Bronya shouldn't know! Who is he?!"

"Doctor, what do we do?"
With the leader trapped in the Sea of Quanta, the headquarters attacked, Tesla captured, and Thunder Dragon Horse somewhat panicked.
"Ryoma, you need to stay calm, especially in times like these."
Einstein was about to drink his coffee when Coraline, quick-witted and nimble, interrupted him and gave him water instead.
Einstein met his daughter's gaze, who was acting as if she were completely justified, and then looked away.
Fine, I won't drink it then.
"Dr. Tesla was captured, yet Schicksal didn't wreak havoc on headquarters... let's just consider it Otto's 'mercy.' They might genuinely only want the Tranquility Gem, so they won't harm her for now. The Alliance Leader is trapped in the Sea of Quanta, but with his abilities, there might still be a chance for him to escape."
"You mean we should rescue Dr. Tesla first? But do we really have to hand over the Tranquility Stone?"
“Even if the Alliance Leader were here, he would absolutely prioritize Dr. Tesla’s life. Abandoning our companions for the gems is not our style. That’s what we should really be worried about…”
Einstein walked to the screen, paused all investigations into the Eye of the Abyss, and instead retrieved the video data from headquarters.
"Judging from the intensity of the battle, our mechs are unlikely to be a match for the elite Valkyries of Destiny. We are still lacking in high-end combat power... How can we ensure that Otto will keep his promise to release them instead of wanting them all?"
The Undying Blade easily broke through the seemingly formidable defenses of the headquarters. No matter how weak the defenses were, it was still the headquarters! It just goes to show that the gap between the Valkyrie and the mecha is still too great.
Einstein made a decision. The only high-level combatants who could stand by their side and help, and who seemed to be her own daughter, who claimed to be the A-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, her friends, and Siegfried and Yae Sakura, who were in St. Freya...
Entropy reversal is still too weak. The thought of the organization's insufficient strength gave Einstein, who was without caffeine, a headache.
“Ryoma, when you get back, contact Siegfried and the others—and try to avoid Theresa. I’ll temporarily transplant the Moon Throne prototype onto the flagship… We’ll have to make a trip to Schicksal headquarters.”
"It's strange."
The emergency meeting against entropy ended, but Coralie was still muttering something to herself, which made Helia pay attention.
"What's wrong, Coralie?"
"Helia, I don't remember my aunt being captured! Did she feel too ashamed and erase that part from the book?"
