Bab 108: Chapter 108: The Quantum Shadow in the Memorial Arena
When night falls, Schicksal descends into an unexpected quietness.
Apart from some patrolling robots, almost everyone has returned to the living area to rest.
As for concerns about Schicksal being invaded?
Otto would sooner believe Bronie is Qin Shihuang than entertain the idea of any organization daring to invade Schicksal.
The only possible invaders would be those who have defected from within Schicksal, but does his granddaughter, Delisa, possess such audacity?
Of course not.
However, today is also a sleepless night for Otto.
It's not because he's engrossed in playing games, even though he hasn't saved Zelda yet.
The main reason is witnessing the battle between Bronie and Bianka.
Although it was expected that Bianka wouldn't stand a chance against Bronie, who can traverse the Sea of Quanta and come to the real world, Otto allowed the two to spar mainly to help Bianka realize that there are always greater powers out there.
After all, she seems to be a bit arrogant sometimes.
But who would have thought Bronie's fighting style would be so familiar!
Yes, familiar. It's almost like she's about to say that line. "Witness the shattering of the stars!" "In the name of the world..."
Back in his room, Otto tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
The training room was already equipped with various testing instruments, but only detected subtle fluctuations in imaginary numbers.
There was no Honkai. And those drones, they were indeed real, and then unknowingly dissolved.
Could it be that the leader of the Entropy Alliance turned into a cute girl and came over to cause trouble? Otto thought it was unlikely, but Bronie's fighting style was indeed unforgettable for Otto.
"Amber, how's the data analysis going?"
Although Bronie's room doesn't have surveillance, other areas of the living area do. Looking at Bronie's usual demeanor and the personality model she had built up, it really didn't match Welt's personality.
But Otto still wasn't quite at ease.
"Reporting, Overseer, all the data shows that these drones are indeed real, even the electromagnetic signals exist. However, there's still no conclusion on how these drones appear and disappear, and Miss Nagamitsu also insists on keeping Miss Haxxor Bunny here."
This ability can be said to be very similar to the Herrscher of Reason, but Bronie once said that she's a programmer who edits world languages, perhaps this is just one way she uses her abilities?
But this is a bit too far-fetched.
Honestly, as a scientist who has been studying for nearly five hundred years, Otto has seen a lot of things, and even relies on his own research to make a big deal out of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
But this kind of ability to create everything is simply too absurd.
So Otto is determined to study it thoroughly.
There are so many unsolved mysteries in the world, and nothing has ever been so attractive.
Because Otto sees the potential.
If he can understand the principle, can't he directly find Kallen's data from the world's data, and then copy and paste it over, even if it's considered a successful resurrection?
Didn't Amber say that? These drones look real, they act real, and from all aspects of data observation, they are indeed real!
"The world has its own programming language, and is Haxxor Bunny that hacker? No wonder Haxxor Bunny calls herself a hacker, if this ability is true..."
Otto clenched his fist tightly, but then sat back on his sofa as if giving up.
"Amber, you should leave first. Don't provoke Haxxor Bunny. My plan will proceed as usual, but Haxxor Bunny's matter will be put aside for now. I'll treat Haxxor Bunny properly in the future."
Take a tough stance?
Otto is not that stupid. Dealing with someone with power, the best way is to use emotions and interests, rather than force.
Maybe his previous attitude had already lowered Haxxor Bunny's favorability, and the changes in his Void Archives were just a small warning.
So Otto dared not act recklessly, nor did he dare to easily deal with Haxxor Bunny, and in the end, he could only figure out a way to make Haxxor Bunny get along better with Bianka.
When their relationship improves, everything will naturally fall into place. Of course, he also needs to act decently, so that he can at least become friends with Miss Haxxor Bunny.
Looking back, Bronie has indeed grown quite fast. The last time they met was about a year ago, and before he knew it, she's almost become a young lady.
It's just that time doesn't seem to affect Otto much, so he finds it hard to grasp the passage of time.
"Lord Otto, please pay more attention to the time and don't get too immersed in playing games to forget to rest."
Suddenly, Otto felt a bit tense.
He's quite disciplined, you know!
Games are just for leisure. It's been almost a month since Zelda was released, and he's still on the quest to save her.
Is this a situation that arises from intense gaming?
Of course not!
"I have important experiments lately. How could I forget to rest because of playing games? I can distinguish between work and rest."
"Lord Otto, Amber here advises you not to touch the game console at all!"
"Okay, okay, I got it!"
...
To be honest, Bronie never expected that staying overnight in the Valkyrie's living area of Schicksal would result in waking up so early.
At six in the morning, Bronie was awakened by the commotion downstairs in the training room where Bianka was. And when she opened her eyes, she heard Rita knocking on the door.
Bronie used to stay up until midnight and usually didn't get up until seven or eight in the morning.
Last night, she chatted with Elysia for quite a while, and then Eden joined in, discussing many art-related issues, especially music.
Miss Eden spoke eloquently about rock music, effortlessly mentioning music theory knowledge.
Bronie learned a lot and even planned to apply it in games. Guilty Gear requires a lot of rock elements, plus some lyrics with religious connotations, emphasizing rebellion and excitement.
As a result, they chatted until three in the morning. Maybe there's also a circadian rhythm issue involved?
"Miss Haxxor Bunny, breakfast is ready. Would you like milk or coffee?"
"Milk, please. I'm not a fan of coffee."
"It seems you share the same preference as Lady Bianka!"
Although Haxxor Bunny seems to be slightly older than me, her taste is childish, which makes Rita feel quite familiar.
It's hard to imagine this is the real Haxxor Bunny.
On the internet, the fame of Haxxor Bunny moves every once in a while, sometimes causing a commotion.
The Mario series has released many games, making people wonder if Haxxor Bunny is just planning to rely on the classics and not create new games.
But Rita also knows that such games, like works of art, cannot be rushed. Storylines, visuals, music, performances, all need careful polishing.
The Legend of Zelda game has already pushed the boundaries, and honestly, Rita can't imagine what new elements the next game will bring.
And what Bronie previews is another fight.
Well, that's not really Rita's thing.
Rita prefers something cuter, like Kirby.
After lamenting for a while, Rita waited patiently for Bronie to finish washing up, but Bronie came out in less than ten minutes.
"So fast!"
Rita couldn't help but marvel. Did Bronie just walk out without even grooming herself?
No, she changed her clothes and even styled her hair, which didn't seem like she didn't groom herself.
This time, Bronie tied her hair into a neat ponytail, with a drill on it, retaining some of its original flavor.
"In fact, I made a program specifically for dressing up, but unfortunately, only I can use it. So I can't share it with you."
"It seems that Miss Haxxor Bunny also practices her abilities in daily life."
She looks completely different from Lady Bianka, who often complains.
Different people have different fighting styles, which naturally determine how they train.
Although Lady Bianka complains that Bronie looks a bit lazy, using her abilities in daily life is also a kind of diligence, isn't it?
"How can you walk in the Sea of Quanta without any ability?" Bronie emphasized this once again.
Rita also nodded in agreement.
"Lady Bianka is more straightforward, so she doesn't think about so many things. So, Miss Haxxor Bunny, are you planning to start teaching next?"
"I've heard that Schicksal has an advanced Memorial Arena system, so I thought I'd give it a try. But let's wait for Bianka to finish her morning practice first. Let's have breakfast first."
Bianka had already had breakfast, and it was the high-calorie kind. But was Rita worried that she would gain weight because of this? Rita carefully calculated Bianka's exercise volume, so high-calorie food wouldn't make her gain weight.
And maybe Haxxor Bunny's teaching afterwards would be tiring, so Rita would have to adjust her menu based on the actual training situation.
While Bronie was having breakfast, Rita informed Bianka of this.
It always feels like this comprehensive care will turn Bianka into someone who doesn't use her brain much.
Rita has a knack for raising others, and Bronie couldn't help but feel a little envious. Wouldn't it be nice to have such a maid by her side?
How about leaving a spot for Rita and Bianka when they move to the little island made by Cioara? This way, she could also enjoy Rita's maid service?
Hmm, that's something to consider, but also considering that Elysia might suddenly put on a maid outfit and then bother her. After all, Elysia is capable of doing such things.
Bronie don't know how long it took, but as soon as Bronie finished her last sip of milk, Rita brought Bianka over.
"Although the Memorial Arena can almost fully simulate the data of the Honkai Beasts, those things are all formed from various observation data of Schicksal. It's your first day here. Are you really okay?"
Bianka's face showed disbelief, but Bronie just shrugged.
"Who said I'm a genius? And Otto has traded relevant knowledge with me before. It's no problem for me to input new data into Schicksal's Memorial Arena. And I have even simpler and more brutal methods."
"Directly connect to the Memorial Arena and extract the enemies you've encountered from your memories? Although this kind of subjective data may be somewhat distorted, it can also be supplemented by later data."
Bianka's grades are actually not bad, and she even gets full marks on theoretical classes. It's just that she's usually pampered by Rita and doesn't like to use her brain. If it were Kiana, she would definitely know nothing. This contrast makes Bronie's blood pressure rise a bit.
What to do?
She can just let Kiana be happy.
"I won't let you guys read my memories, but data is my specialty. Even if I pull out all the bosses from the Elden Ring, I can do it! Although I feel that Otto won't allow me to do so."
Hearing it was Elden Ring, Bianka suddenly became excited.
That's right, although Bianka is very disciplined, she occasionally plays games during her rest time. Of course, she spends more time boxing in the arena for a quick bout or two. But when there are no skilled opponents and it's really boring, Bianka will go back home and pick up the game.
Bianka still vaguely remembers Rita holding this game, saying that it can also serve as training. But she was frustrated by the various traps in the dungeon and almost smashed her controller. But later, she was attracted by the handsome bosses inside and left a deep impression.
If she could really challenge the bosses inside, Bianka is confident that she won't be as clumsy as the Tarnished! Although that's easy to say, the premise is that she can really encounter them!
"Can you really bring them out! I'll tell Bishop right away. He should allow me to be a little willful! Especially to bring out Malenia!"
Actually, the plot of the Blade of Miquella in Elden Ring is quite subtle. Self-destructing if she can't win, and even contaminating a large area of land after self-destructing. Although her past experiences are quite tragic, her resolute spirit has touched many people.
It's just that what she did before wasn't very likable.
But it seems that Bianka still likes her quite a bit?
"Um... next time for sure. For now, let me explain some of the most common creatures in the Sea of Quanta. They're much more dangerous than Honkai Beasts, and they require special handling methods. Let's start with the simplest ones, the Quantum Shadows. Remember their weaknesses and avoid being at a disadvantage in front of them."
As she spoke, they arrived at the Memorial Arena, with Otto also watching nearby, seemingly curious about what kind of creatures exist in the Sea of Quanta.
Then Bronie stepped up to the control panel and handed the USB drive to Amber.
"Be careful from now on, little sister Bianka~"

Bab 109: Chapter 109: When Otto Realizes Honkai Isn't the Only Solution
Bianka held twin pistols, vigilantly observing her surroundings. The Memorial Arena had been activated, and a dark shadow slowly emerged, imparting an eerie sensation.
Watching the shadow approach, Bianka became even more nervous and hastily fired her guns, but found the effect wasn't very apparent!
Is this the monster in a quantum state?
As Bianka attacked, wouldn't the opponent retaliate?
Quantum Shadows have the ability to split into multiple clones. After splitting, if the original cannot be found, Bianka would face attacks from all directions.
"This is just one Quantum Shadow, capable of splitting into eight. Usually, they appear in groups, but it's easy to handle them. You can use the Space-Time Fracture System or direct physical contact to Honkai them through the observer effect," explained Bronie beside Otto, slowly imparting some small knowledge she had previously told Bianka.
Bianka understood this, but in real combat, there would still be an adaptation process to apply her knowledge.
"It seems these monsters are like Chariot-type Honkai Beasts," Otto couldn't help but comment.
"Why? Maybe it's just game developers being lazy, thinking of reusing models, so they end up with this appearance," Haxxor Bunny joked.
"Haha! Miss Haxxor Bunny, you're really good at joking. I'm just curious. Maybe the Honkai that give rise to Honkai Beasts are also related to the Sea of Quanta and the Imaginary Tree. That's what I think."
"Yeah, maybe our lives are just a game, and all the bad things we encounter are predetermined?"
"If that's the case, what else can we do? In the end, we can only silently accept everything and wait for our fate to come. But do you really want to discuss these philosophical questions with me?"
If everyone is really just characters in a game, what difference does it make if they realize it?
It's just suicide or resignation.
Otto was eager to try, wanting to know what Bronie was thinking.
But all philosophical endeavors ultimately lead to nihilism, something Bronie couldn't be bothered to ponder.
"Never mind, I'm not good at philosophy. But it's something that all Travelers can never escape from, you know, the Paths controlled by the Aeons probably have something to do with philosophical ideas. In the end, we still need to understand it a bit," Bronie shrugged, and Otto fell silent for a while.
The name Aeon was mentioned in the information Bronie provided, but Otto felt that Bronie might not know much about it, so she just mentioned it in passing.
However, Bronie also mentioned that there was indeed some connection between the Aeon and the Imaginary Tree.
"Gazing up at the stars, The Qliphort constantly built walls in light-years to resist potential future enemies. As for that enemy... who knows if it even exists, but the Aeons can see more than we can," Bronie explained.
"So, can the Aeons resurrect people?"
Wow, Otto's probing went straight to the point!
"The Aeon of the Hunt hunts abundance, and the Abundance Aeon spreads eternity. I think these two are unlikely to do that. As for other Aeons, we need to judge based on the nature of the Paths they control and their powers. Who knows?" Bronie shrugged, and Otto remained silent for a long time.
At present, Bronie is the one who told him the names of the Aeons, each representing a destiny, and he also knows their names.
Harmony, Destruction, and so on.
But there are strengths and weaknesses, contradictions, and emotions between the Aeons, so Otto has an impulse to become a Aeon.
But they are powerful individual entities.
Or are they embodiments of some philosophical concept?
Can he become such an existence?
For example, specifically becoming a Aeon just to resurrect Kallen...
Even if it's just for a second, for a moment, it would be enough for Otto!
Otto fell silent, but there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in his eyes, as if a person who had been in despair for a long time finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Bronie felt like she might have said the wrong thing.
"Anyway, Bianka, this is a Quantum Shadow. Note that these monsters appear in groups, and there may also be Void Taurus. Next up is the data on Void Taurus," said Bronie as another shadow appeared in Bianka's training room.
Just dealing with a single Quantum Shadow is already troublesome enough, and now, this one that looks like a Chariot-class Honkai Beast, the Void Taurus, makes Rita even more worried.
"As long as you know the means to counter them, these monsters are actually quite easy to deal with. The observer effect... Speaking of which, I once encountered a Bubble World where the galaxies repeated destruction every twenty minutes. Inside, there was a race called the Nomai, searching for the Cosmic Eye. It was said that entering the Cosmic Eye would lock all possibilities inside the Bubble World and form a whole new universe. Of course, to the Nomai, the entire Bubble World was the universe."
"That sounds quite interesting."
Otto's thoughts returned from the Aeons to Bronie's words.
He hadn't expected such a Bubble World to exist in the Sea of Quanta.
"Yeah, they invented a technology that could rewind something back twenty-two minutes by absorbing immense energy. With this technology, they explored every corner of the galaxy, looking for the Cosmic Eye. Theoretically, as long as they kept rewinding, they could find the Cosmic Eye in an instant. They planned to detonate the sun to power the rewinding device. However, the plan failed, and the Nomai became extinct for special reasons. After several hundred million years, the sun naturally died, causing the world to continue cycling. The memories of a few people were sent back twenty-two minutes into their past selves."
"Did those people save their universe? Did they enter the Cosmic Eye?"
"There weren't that many fortunate events. I felt it was too dangerous at the time, so I just ran away. Firstly, I couldn't find the device to join the time loop, and finding a tiny thing in a galaxy in twenty-two minutes was too difficult for me. Secondly, I couldn't guarantee that the me who participated in the time loop would still be myself. These pieces of information were what I found outside the Bubble World, and the Cosmic Eye is actually an Ether Anchor."
"The possibilities in the Sea of Quanta are indeed vast."
Otto was deeply impressed by Bronie's experience.
The so-called collecting information from the outside world?
Otto felt sure that Bronie must have explored it herself, always coming out just before the explosion.
But developing a technology that relies on helium flashes to transmit information back twenty-two minutes? Was such technology in Bronie's hands?
Or, based on the chaotic rules within different Bubble Worlds of the Sea of Quanta, perhaps such technology couldn't be brought out and applied in this world?
"In the future, I will make a game based on this story. But that will definitely be a long time from now. Right now, I'm working on fighting games and horror games. In the short term, the story of the Bubble World will remain just a folder of data."
As they chatted, after Bianka became familiar with the tactics of the Void Taurus, she thoroughly eliminated the opponent.
Although she had countless opportunities to defeat her opponent, Bianka wanted to know just how many tricks the opponent had.
Suddenly appearing behind her, or charging and then disappearing, these tactics always made her feel defenseless.
It greatly tested her reaction speed.
"Alright, the data of the most common monsters in the Sea of Quanta has been fully entered. From now on, it's up to your self-discipline. The data in here can really keep you busy, Mr. Otto, I suggest that when exploring the Sea of Quanta, it's best to have equipment to crack electronic devices and enough food. The rest is up to you," said Bronie, feeling that she had already done a lot. The data left in the Memorial Arena could be used even more effectively for training Valkyries in the future.
Staying in Schicksal always made her feel a bit uneasy. Seeing Otto's smiling eyes, Bronie felt a bit annoyed.
She always felt like this guy was preparing some super evil plan!
Although Bronie knew that Otto was a heavy gamer and a hardcore Kallen fan, when it came to Kallen, Otto would never be soft!
"Well, thank you very much, Miss Haxxor Bunny, for your guidance. And the information you provided is actually very important to Schicksal. The Sea of Quanta is full of uncertainty and danger. The intelligence you provide can greatly help Bianka avoid many unknown dangers while exploring the Sea of Quanta."
"You get what you pay for, you know."
Bronie began to ask for payment.
"Of course, no problem, Amber, take Miss Haxxor Bunny to the prepared warehouse. Of course, Miss Haxxor Bunny, if you need transportation services, Schicksal can also provide them."
"No need!"
Hearing Bronie's decisive response, Otto was also puzzled.
To be honest, the reward proposed by Haxxor Bunny was nearly a ton of Soulium.
That stuff, well, there's plenty on the moon, and Schicksal often digs up ruins and hoards a lot of it.
But most of the Soulium is temporarily unusable. The ones that can be processed and used are very few, and even the Void Archives might not be able to summon them.
So those things are just sitting in the warehouse collecting dust, occasionally being used to make weapon blades.
It can only be said to have some uses, but definitely not many.
Suddenly wanting that stuff, Otto also felt it wasn't impossible to give it, anyway, it's just gathering dust in the warehouse.
Bronie naturally knew this and, for Otto, it was useless, but for Bronie, it was very useful!
Otto was very curious, so he followed Bronie to the warehouse.
Humming a tune from Outer Wilds, Bronie arrived at the warehouse and observed the situation inside.
"This tune is actually often played in that Bubble World. Every time I hear it, I think of that place. The scene with helium flashes is really beautiful..."
"I'm looking forward to the game you're going to make."
"Maybe there will be some small changes, but the general story won't change. These Souliums, well, they are indeed about to go bad. So, I've received the reward you gave."
Following Otto's gaze, Bronie projected an operation panel and seemed to enter something on it.
Pixel blocks popped up in the operation panel, gradually merging with the Soulium.
The Soulium began to deform, gradually forming a small cube, just like pixels.
Then came the scene like special effects, countless small blocks merged with each other, but the volume did not change, and then folded into each other. Finally, the huge amount of dormant Soulium in the warehouse disappeared, and a small cube appeared!
Otto felt it's little unbelievable.
Watching Bronie effortlessly hold the cube in her hand, it seemed that the weight of nearly a ton had disappeared.
Was this reasonable?
Is this world really real?
"Hehe, the world is false, everything is a program. You don't have such thoughts, do you?"
"No, no, no, Miss Haxxor Bunny, I'm just amazed by your abilities. As a scientist, I always maintain curiosity about everything. This is what drives us to explore the truth of the world, right?"
"After all, I'm a hacker, and modifying reality data is no problem. It's just a little trick that can't be seen, a good method for traveling. Of course, in the vast universe, there are actually many similar methods."
Walking out of the warehouse, you could see the sky.
But now it was daytime, so you couldn't see the stars. But Bronie's meaning was clear.
In the universe, there are endless possibilities. As long as you have patience to search, you will eventually have a chance to find the answer.
Maybe the answer you want is in the starry sky.
Or maybe you just don't have the confidence to find it?
Otto looked at Bronie's back and suddenly had this question in his mind.
Although the road to resurrecting Kiana was still long, five hundred years seemed not that long after all.
Aeons, Paths, Imaginary Tree, Sea of Quanta.
The answers are among them, and Honkai is not the only solution.
"Wait, Miss Haxxor Bunny!"
What's up? Please stay a while?
Originally, Bronie thought she had scared Otto into not moving.
Who knew, folks, Otto stuck with her!
"What's up?"
"Perhaps in the future, we can cooperate more deeply. Whether it's fighting against Honkai or exploring the truth of the world. But the most important thing I still can't understand is, what do you want to do in this world?"
Yeah, Haxxor Bunny has such powerful abilities, but Otto still can't figure out what she wants to do.
Fight against Honkai?
Come on, that's really unnecessary, but Haxxor Bunny is a good person, she must be trying to find a way to fight against Honkai.
Maybe looking for Soulium is also part of the plan?
Make games?
This is even more confusing for Otto, a traveler of the Sea of Quanta, how could she stay in one world for a long time?
But when he asked this question, Otto was even more nervous and cautious than Haxxor Bunny.
"It's nothing, I just want to turn this imperfect world into what I want it to be. Honkai is... very powerful, I just want to find some excitement, overcome some challenges. After all, isn't that what life is all about, to have some fun?"
