Approaching...

"Joachim!!"

Almost the instant Yang saw that familiar face, a powerful figure rushed into his arms, nearly tearing his body, which was still adjusting to the real world, apart...

"Alright... Tesla, let me in first..."

Yang spoke softly to the "girl" in front of him in an extremely weak voice, saying that he... needed to rest as soon as possible.

"Ah?!...Come quick..."

Realizing the man's weakness, Tesla quickly took Yang's arm, helped him up, and then gently guided him to a recliner in the laboratory.

"call……"

Looking at the unfamiliar laboratory, Yang let out a slightly relieved breath. He... was out.

"Joachim, how did you get out of the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

Sitting next to Yang, Tesla poured him a cup of hot tea and gently placed it beside him, his gaze filled with worry, yet unable to conceal his curiosity and doubt.

"This..."

Turning to look at Tesla, whose hair was disheveled, Yang's expression was somewhat blank.

Clearly, he had not yet fully digested the memories from the "future".

However, thanks to his future self, that [Lord] was already wavering, and relying on the remaining power of [Exploration], he successfully located his coordinates in the real world and broke free from the Sea of ​​Quanta.

However, the price...

He's almost completely exhausted, and... he'll probably need to rest for a long time.

According to his memory, he left his own "projection" in the Sea of ​​Quanta. And now, in the real world, there are probably a lot of things that need his help to solve.

But before that...

"Tesla... Is our agreement with St. Freya Academy still in effect?"

Yang did not answer the question immediately, but stood up and asked Tesla.

"You'll have to ask Nancy about that, since Cocolia..."

Tesla's face immediately turned indignant at the mention of that name.

"..."

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me..."

“But… I might need to rest now, Tesla… Tell Nancy that you and she need to keep an eye on a girl named Ying. We must find a way to protect her; she… is the key to the future!”

After saying this, Yang, who could no longer hold on, fell into a deep sleep again, causing another wave of panic among those around him...

Chapter Sixty-Three: Undercurrents

"My lord, the recent movements of the Mandate of Heaven have been rather strange."

Reverse Entropy, Siberian Branch.

A person dressed in an anti-entropy armed uniform reported to the blonde mature woman in front of him.

"Hmm... tell me more."

The blonde woman nodded slightly, her gaze remaining fixed on the screen in front of her.

"Yes, our satellites have detected the movement of the Mandate of Heaven's forces. They appear to be carrying out a new round of troop rotations around Oceania, but on a larger scale than before."

"At the same time, troops in the Far East region were also mobilized, but most of them were in a defensive posture, seemingly protecting the Far East branch."

"In addition, our spies planted in Oceania have lost contact. It seems that Destiny is going to make a big move in Oceania, but the reason is currently unknown."

The armed man gave a detailed report to the woman in front of him.

"Hmph... It's probably all for the sake of the Gem of Desire. To go to such lengths, it seems that Schicksal is planning to transfer the vessel for the Gem of Desire to the Far East Branch. In that case, let's mobilize the troops and also test the latest Titan mechs!"

"But... sir, isn't this a bit too risky?"

The subordinate seemed somewhat hesitant, after all, Tianming had clearly taken very thorough precautions this time, and if something went wrong...

"Hmph, isn't this a perfect opportunity to test the stealth capabilities of the new Titan mech? Execute my orders."

The mature woman's words carried an undeniable authority.

"Yes... I will order the troops to set off immediately."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate promptly lowered his head and whispered in agreement.

"Okay, go ahead... Oh, by the way, Bronya's link..."

Cocolia turned around, her eyes coldly fixed on her subordinate.

"I'm sorry, we've tried everything but we haven't been able to re-establish the connection with Bronya. We're guessing... perhaps the Far East Branch has blocked the signal in some way, or... perhaps they've removed the biochip."

Upon hearing the name Bronya, the subordinate broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hmph...Alright, I understand, you can go now."

Cocolia did not pursue the subordinate's responsibility, but instead waved her hand, signaling him to get lost.

"Yes!"

Upon seeing this, the subordinate immediately and quickly left the area.

"Bronya... what happened to you?"

Cocolia murmured, looking at the screen before her where Bronya had lost her connection.

……

"My lord, as you commanded, we have made the necessary arrangements in advance. Now... we just need to wait."

"Yes, the plan is proceeding smoothly."

"The snake... has already awakened ahead of schedule!"

Now, three forces are stirring up trouble, all for one person...

For a future that has already been realized, and... all that is possible.

……

What is the truth of the world?

Most people know nothing about it, or rather, they have no way of knowing it.

On a frozen planet, the builders used "lies" to construct a wall of hope for the people, and then embarked on a journey to find "hope".

But clearly, they failed.

The power of the star core far exceeded their imagination, so much so that people stopped seeking ways to destroy it and instead tried to find ways to continue living in this desolate world.

And now... even "continuation" has become an unattainable ambition...

Only by standing on the high platform belonging to the "Great Guardian" can one truly understand the despair of this world, and only by bearing this despair can one continue to eke out a living.

but now……

Belloberg is already at his limit. If there are no further changes, what awaits them is boundless silence.

Did they perish in the cold wave and the collapse, or did they choose that false "hope"?

Cocolia chose "Illusory Hope".

In contrast, her daughter, Bronya, chose "hope" after learning the truth about the world.

but……

"Although I had already guessed this scene, leaving only a letter and disappearing without saying goodbye is indeed somewhat like the style of a princess from the upper class."

Seele clasped her hands behind her back, looked at the neatly written envelope, gave a self-deprecating smile, and then handed the envelope to Sambo who was standing next to her.

"Read!"

"Ah I?"

Sambo pointed blankly at himself.

"Just read it when I tell you to! Stop with all the nonsense!"

Seele glared at Sambo with annoyance; she had no time to be picky about his gifts!

"Alright, alright, since it was asked by Sister Seele, then I, Old Sambo, will read it for everyone..."

"Ahem, dear pioneers, by the time you read this letter, I will already be..."

Sambo read the letter aloud with great emotion. The gist of it was that Bronya had gone back to the Upper District ahead of them to try to win back Cocolia, and had introduced them to the Landau siblings, saying that they were trustworthy people and that they could ask them for help if needed.

"So... I couldn't stop her, so I could only let her go."

Seele shrugged and said helplessly.

"What are we going to do now... Kiana! Quickly use your invincible teleportation ability to think of a solution!"

March 7th turned to look at Kiana, her pink and blue eyes filled with a hint of anxiety.

Cocolia is no longer the Great Guardian she once was. Judging from her previous state, she has now been completely corrupted by the Star Core. Bronya's journey there is likely to end in grave danger.

So... as long as Kiana uses her power to pull Bronya back, it's not too late.

"Oh, right, she told me before she left that if you used your teleportation ability to pull her back, she would never forgive you for the rest of her life."

Upon hearing the word "teleport," Seele looked at Kiana with a complicated expression.

She had heard Bronya say before that the main reason she came to the lower district was because of Kiana's teleportation...

Hmm... I have to say, Kiana's teleportation is really useful. Just the fact that she can pull people over from a great distance is quite interesting!

"Um... haha, if it's her own choice, I won't force her..."

Kiana awkwardly scratched the back of her head and said that although she had forced herself on him the first time, at least the result was pretty good, right?

“In March, we really shouldn’t interfere with her thoughts, but…”

Danheng turned around and nodded slightly to Kiana.

"Ah."

Seeing Danheng's expression, Kiana nodded knowingly.
