At Sky Dome City's airport, all flights were forced to cancel this morning, and the entire airport was cleared for the take-off and landing of aircraft belonging to the Destiny Organization.

Bai Chen watched as one transport aircraft after another, carrying either experimental equipment, advanced weapons, or the Valkyrie forces of Destiny, landed one after another at the dome-shaped airfield.

"Why not head straight to Haiyuan City?" Bai Chen asked Otto, sitting in the VIP box at the airport.

“After all, that place is still a branch of Anti-Entropy. With Cocolia there, Anti-Entropy’s mechanical forces are still protecting it. If my subordinates were to go there directly, it would cause unnecessary fighting and unnecessary losses,” Otto replied with a smile.

"Anyway, those guards are no match for you. We might as well clean up the area first. No matter how big our resources are, they are meant to fight the Honkai, so we should use them sparingly."

Seated in this VIP box were all the people who participated in the ball, except for Bai Chen, Otto, Theresa, and Cecilia.

Among those present were three Herrschers, two Flame Chasers, a Fusion Warrior, an alien, the Archbishop of Schicksal, and the former strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal.

This force alone could wipe out a small country, let alone the fact that they are now facing only one of Anti-Entropy's bases.

Just then, Amber, a short-haired girl dressed in the uniform of the Valkyrie Squad, pushed open the door and walked in. She stood at attention and saluted Otto: "Reporting to the Archbishop, all troops and supplies have been assembled. The research department has also completed the data calculations. They say that according to Ko... Ko..."

"Cauchy-Gussa theorem," Bai Chen added, helping the messenger who had forgotten the formula's name.

"According to Cauchy's theorem, we have successfully located the world bubble containing the target item and can depart immediately."

"Order everyone to lag behind us by half an hour. We'll begin the search once we've cleared all the obstacles," Otto waved to Amber.

"Gentlemen, it's time for us to set off."

Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Villains Who Protect the World

Abyss City is a city located by the sea, but it represents more than just the ocean; it is a gateway between the real world and the Quantum Sea.

Sitting in the helicopter, Seele and Bronya leaned against the small window, watching the turquoise waves below. White foam continuously surged onto the beach along the edge of the blue sea, a magnificent sight that people living inland could never imagine.

"This is the ocean, it's so beautiful," Seele murmured.

“Yes, I promised Seele that I would take you to see the sea, but I never expected that we would end up at the beach like this…” Bronya said with some emotion.

"There are delicious crabs and beautiful conches on this beach. The seaweed we catch is also quite tasty when boiled. After we get off the plane, I'll take you to go beachcombing!"

Rosalia excitedly said that after her hard work the day before yesterday, she finally made up for the ancient poems she owed, which made her very happy. At least, she enjoyed the meal.

She was the only one present who didn't understand the situation, and thought Bai Chen was taking them back to find Cocolia. She never imagined that they, who had always been enemies of Schicksal, would be traveling on Schicksal's plane.

The helicopter quickly arrived over Haiyuan City. Although it was called a city, it was actually just an experimental base. You could see steel buildings and drones patrolling the buildings.

Raven pulled a small rocket launcher from her back. If Bai Chen ordered an attack soon, she would fire it symbolically. As a mercenary, she was quite capable in individual combat, but fighting on such a large scale was simply too much for her.

"Boss, do you think Cocolia might just open the city gates and surrender? That would save us a lot of trouble," Raven asked Bai Chen beside her as she scanned the area above Sea Abyss City with the scope of her personal rocket launcher.

“If she did that, she wouldn’t be Cocolia. That woman has great ambitions, but unfortunately, she doesn’t have the strength to match them,” Otto replied with a smile.

As if to confirm his words, several surface-to-air interceptor missiles were launched from missile silos in Haiyuan City below after helicopters belonging to Destiny were detected appearing around the area.

These missiles are all specially designed weapons that use Honkai energy as their propulsion power, possessing a destructive capability far exceeding that of gunpowder weapons. If an ordinary Valkyrie were to be hit head-on by one of these missiles, she would likely die instantly.

The helicopter they were traveling in was Otto's personal aircraft, equipped with the highest level of technology from Schicksal, and also carrying state-of-the-art missiles and anti-interception systems. However, none of these interception systems were activated at the moment, since few of the people on board would be harmed by the missiles.

Bai Chen sat by the helicopter cabin door, extending a finger towards the missile flying below.

Several spatial portals appeared on the path the missiles were bound to take, and then placed their openings below Abyss City. As a result, they all struck Abyss City, creating several beautiful firework displays.

"Mei, Kiana, you two go down."

Bai Chen waved to the two girls huddled together in the cabin, signaling them to deal with the enemies below.

This kind of large-scale battle is exactly what the Herrschers excel at. Ants can't kill an elephant; for the Herrschers, sheer numbers are meaningless. Unless there's a sufficiently strong attack to break through their shields and overcome the protection of their powers, all the damage is just dust hitting their clothes.

Now, both Raiden Mei and Kiana have accepted the fact that they have become Bai Chen's students. Last night, after being baptized by Bai Chen's courses and completing the most basic supplementary education, Mei's level of recognition of Bai Chen actually increased.

Perhaps it's because she's now pursuing power that she's willing to try anything that can give her power. This is why she chose to join World Serpent in one particular timeline.

Kiana grabbed Mei's hand and teleported outside the helicopter.

At this moment, after being attacked, alarms blared throughout the entire city of Haiyuan. Many mechs could be seen rising from the city. These mechs were all combat mechs capable of operating on land, sea, and air, and they were equipped with rocket flight devices powered by Honkai energy.

"If it were before, I would have thought such a scene was spectacular, and these mechs were really frightening."

Mei was surrounded by electricity and floated in the air by magnetic force. She said to Kiana with some emotion, because just a few days ago, she was just an ordinary B-rank Valkyrie.

At that time, she had no chance against so many armed mechs, and even if she tried her best, she could only defeat a small portion of them.

Below, streaks of burning light rose up, missiles trailing long fiery tails. These missiles came from the Thor mechs, and there were hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of them, seemingly about to cover the entire sky.

However, Raiden Mei merely glanced at her and sighed softly.

An invisible force stirred up at a deeper level, altering the magnetic force of the earth and sky, and the surging electric field changed the weather, making the entire sky instantly resemble a sea of ​​thunder.

Lightning bolts fell from the sky, and a repulsive magnetic field suddenly spread downwards from Raiden Mei's body.

Almost all weapons created by human civilization share an unavoidable hurdle: metal. Of all available materials, metal is the strongest, most stable, and most suitable for manufacturing various machines and tools.

But for the Herrscher of Thunder, metal is merely a toy she can manipulate and play with at will, and discard like worn-out shoes.

Magnetism generates electricity, and electricity generates magnetism, while magnetic force can change all metals and electromagnetic waves.

The missile exploded, and the armed mechs that had just taken off plummeted irreversibly downwards. Although all these mechs were equipped with electromagnetic pulse protection systems, it made no difference to the Herrscher of Thunder.

The deafening explosions echoed through the heavens and earth. In the blink of an eye, Raiden Mei had reduced all these precious weapons to piles of scrap metal. They looked like toys that had been tossed on the ground by a child, completely unrecognizable from their original form.

But this was not the end. As Mei waved her hand downwards, a sea of ​​lightning poured down from the sky, engulfing the entire Sea Abyss City in lightning.

"It's just like a villainous boss bullying a poor human city." Raven put away its rocket launcher and clicked its tongue in admiration.

Bai Chen noticed that Grey was drawing the scenery outside on her easel, and ruffled her short blue hair: "Who says villainous bosses can't save the world? Sometimes, the one who can turn the tide is the real villain."

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Descent into the Sea of ​​Quanta

When the Haiyuan City base was first built, no one had considered that they would one day have to face the Herrscher of Thunder.

There were no countermeasures or contingency plans. Although the base had methods to deal with various armed forces of Destiny, it still seemed powerless and vulnerable in the face of an unexpected enemy.

After a thunderous baptism that lasted for more than ten minutes, the ground was charred black, and the smell of burning was inescapable even from the air. The fire raged across the ground, and the intense heat ignited almost everything flammable in the city.

The mech force that Anti-Entropy was so proud of and had poured so much effort into could not even put up any effective resistance or counterattack. It was declared completely annihilated in the Sea of ​​Thunder. The shattered mech wreckage was scattered all over the inner and outer city, and could only be recycled as scrap metal worth a few dollars a ton.

When everything calmed down and the thunder gradually dissipated, the helicopter in the air found a relatively flat spot and slowly landed.

Bai Chen and Otto walked at the front, followed by his two students, then a few unrelated people, and at the back of the group, Rosalia, who was pointing around and carelessly introducing the city to Bronya and Seele.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Chen asked, looking at Otto who seemed lost in thought.

“I think Schicksal’s next goal should be to develop corresponding countermeasures against the potential Herrschers. Even if they are ants, they should at least be ants that can bite through skin, not pitiful worms crawling on the ground that can be crushed with a single stomp.” Otto kicked the mecha wreckage under his feet; the still-steaming wreckage had a kind of desolate beauty.

Bai Chen was slightly surprised and drew a circle in the air with his hand: "I thought you wouldn't care about those lives."

The word omitted here is "the people." He felt that Otto shouldn't be the kind of person who took the world as his responsibility, or even had such grand ambitions as wanting to protect the fate of the human race.

“What the world becomes is none of my business, but what happens to the world with Karen is something I have to concern myself with,” Otto replied with a smile.

"Tsk."

Bai Chen was speechless for a moment. He was a pure scientist, and for him, exploring the secrets of the world was far more important than women. He had nothing in common with Otto, a pure love god and a single Casanova.

The group quickly passed through the outer area of ​​Haiyuan City and arrived at the inner core area.

This place was originally heavily guarded, with many security doors firmly protecting the central control room. However, under Mei's control, all the metal security doors were forcibly removed, and those that were not so easy to remove were easily separated by Bai Chen using spatial cutting.

The last metal door collapsed with a crash, revealing the main control room filled with various monitoring instruments. But the control room was empty; Cocolia wasn't there.

Along the way, they did not see any corpses or any surviving staff. It seemed that Cocolia and her subordinates had already withdrawn from this place. What they had encountered before was just a pre-programmed automatic defense system.

The most important thing in the main control room is an elevator that goes all the way down, from the sea surface to the depths of the seabed, thousands of meters below, where the real "Sea Abyss City" is.

The City of the Abyss is divided into two parts: one part consists of artificial islands and experimental bases located on the sea surface, while the other part is a massive historical site left behind by a civilization from the previous era, located about 6,000 meters below the sea surface.

This is the truly important part of Abyss City. This underwater ruin has a rift that leads to the Quantum Sea. Once you pass through it, you can swim freely in the Quantum Sea.

The group took the elevator and quickly descended into the real Haiyuan City.

I thought there would be another battle here, but after the elevator opened, the mechanical troops that should have been stationed here were nowhere to be found. It seems that when Cocolia left, she did not leave all the troops here, but took away the most elite part guarding the ancient ruins.

"Not too stupid," Bai Chen commented.

It is unknown what material this ancient ruin was made of. The entire Haiyuan City is very well preserved, with walls that look like seashells and floors that look like pebbles. Seawater flowing into pools can be seen everywhere in the city, with beautiful coral reefs and pretty little fish from the sea.

The entire Haiyuan City actually has its own ecosystem. It's unclear whether this was beautification done by Anti-Entropy after taking control of the area, or whether it's an ancient species that has been preserved for tens of thousands of years.

"Don't look at me. I'm just a combatant and don't know anything about these research facilities," Sakura said, shaking her head as she noticed the questioning look in Bai Chen's eyes.

With Lilia and Rosalia leading the way, they quickly and easily found the huge black rift leading to the Sea of ​​Quanta. The constantly rotating black gate was like a black hole, swallowing all the light.

At the entrance, some Honkai Beasts were scattered in the square. These Honkai Beasts were not of high level and seemed to be experimental subjects that had been raised here before. They were all released as the guards withdrew.

Clearing out the Honkai Beasts was not difficult, and the team quickly cleared the area.

At this time, the technical team from Tianming also arrived at the main control room. After some research and operation, they repaired the safety circuit that had been burned out by excessive current and restarted all the instruments in the control room.

At the same time, they ventured deep into the real Abyss City, preparing to open the passage to the Quantum Sea.

Next came the deployment of various instruments. Although there was a natural passage leading to the Sea of ​​Quanta, Walter Young had seen Kevin Kaslana in the Sea of ​​Quanta and confirmed that he posed a threat to the stability of human society. Therefore, he exhausted his power to seal Kevin in the Sea of ​​Quanta, while simultaneously sealing the gap between the Sea of ​​Quanta and the real world.

The researchers at Destiny wanted to find a safer way to open the seal, one that would minimize the impact on the situation within the Sea of ​​Quanta and facilitate their subsequent search.

Bai Chen also took this time to brush up on his knowledge of the Sea of ​​Quanta, which was a unique subject in the Collapsed World, something he knew nothing about before.

It took several hours to set up a complete set of equipment in front of the sealed gate of the Sea of ​​Quanta. The massive equipment, resembling a giant collider, was aimed at the gate of the Sea of ​​Quanta and began initial waveband testing.

But just then, before the experiment even began, the door opened!

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Quantum Monster

The gate to the Sea of ​​Quanta has always been firmly sealed, and theoretically, no living being or object can escape from the Sea of ​​Quanta.

However, this seal, which had been effective for many years and showed no signs of weakening, suddenly shattered today, just as it was about to be broken by the people of destiny.

This was certainly not an accident, but the result of manipulation. Not long ago, Tesla used the channels left by Anti-Entropy to convey the news that Bai Chen was going to lead the Destiny group into the Sea of ​​Quanta to Walter, who was located in the Sea of ​​Quanta.

Upon learning that several Herrschers were going to the Sea of ​​Quanta as a team, Welt Young, who was doing sit-ups in the sea, felt his head grow several sizes larger.

He has now essentially lost control of the Herrscher of Reason's core. After all, he is not the original Herrscher, and the Herrscher core residing within him is a burden. And while the successor he has been waiting for in the Sea of ​​Quanta has yet to arrive, he has instead encountered other Herrschers.

Welt Young had only one thought in his mind: this wasn't what was agreed upon—the Herrschers were supposed to appear one by one, so why were there several at the same time?!

Knowing that the gate to the Sea of ​​Quanta could not be saved, Walter made his decision after careful consideration. He mobilized his remaining power to lure all the quantum monsters in the Sea of ​​Quanta to the vicinity of the gate, and at the same time, when an external force impacted the seal, he quietly opened the gate to the Sea of ​​Quanta.
