The girl, supporting herself on her knees, landed first in her high heels, followed by her long, untied strands of blue hair, which also touched the ground.
The girl strolled leisurely, exploring the few remaining paths.
They discovered some enormous, bubble-like things floating in the air.
From the outside, those bubbles seemed to be flashing with some strange images.
It's definitely a bubble in the world.
However, how are we supposed to find Seele in such a vast space...?
"Um?"
Xingyue's feet shook, and the already unstable buildings around her began to collapse.
But these are not the main things.
The girl only felt a murderous aura coming from behind her, a killing intent aimed directly at her.
A shadow quickly enveloped Xingyue's surroundings, and she slowly turned around to look.
Suddenly, a "huge" monster appeared in her field of vision.
The monster had no flesh and blood, stood tens of meters tall, and resembled a giant skeleton, but a pair of bull horns grew from the skull.
The skeleton, consisting only of its upper body, roared at the "tiny" girl below.
The hurricane brought by the skull's roar whipped the girl's hair, but she remained completely calm, not taking a single step back, and not even glancing at it again.
"I see. It seems there are still some people in the Sea of Quanta who don't welcome me!"
Xingyue revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
At that moment, the monster named Traloc swung its sharp arm armor and smashed it down.
But the next second, Tralock froze in place.
A beam of colorful energy, ten meters in diameter, shot out from the girl's hand and struck Tralock squarely in the head.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Desperate Hope
"What? This power?"
Kevin's expression turned truly serious.
He was watching the battle from a distance when he saw that Tralock had been instantly killed by the girl, without even a chance to fight back.
Such power is rare even among the thirteen heroes.
Of course, he still didn't know the limits of what a girl could achieve.
The man clenched his fists, and there were signs that his dormant passion was about to be ignited.
But he resisted the urge to fight and left the place.
After all, he had more important things to do, and the Heavenly Fire was not in his hands, so he couldn't unleash its full power.
But as he left, he couldn't help but glance back.
Clearly, he has come to regard it as his greatest rival and intends to seize the power of the End after the Stigmata Project is underway, and then fight it again.
Bang~
A bone several meters long fell to the ground, followed by large sections of collapse.
Tralock's body gradually began to disintegrate.
After falling to the ground, it soon turned into wisps of grayish-white smoke and disappeared from the spot.
The girl remained in the throwing motion, and wisps of white smoke still rose from her fist.
"Hmph! Kevin's subordinate, Tralock?"
"They actually used this to test me."
Xingyue withdrew her fist and blew a breath of hot air upwards to dispel the remaining white smoke.
Then we headed deeper into the Sea of Quanta.
If she remembered correctly, Seele was probably nearby.
During the journey, Xingyue felt that walking was too slow, so she flew.
After crossing patches of yellow land, we have reached the vicinity of the depths.
Of course, Kevin was trying to avoid encountering Xingyue at the moment, so he made way for her.
Upon reaching the vicinity of the depths, Xingyue squatted down, gazing at the distant Sea of Quanta, and began to ponder how to find Seele.
Unbeknownst to her, on a rocky cliff, a petite girl was cautiously observing her, her body trembling slightly.
The girl had deep sea-colored eyes, a red stigmata mark on her chest, and gripped a scythe tightly in her hand, staring warily ahead.
"Seele, are you scared?"
The sickly girl named Seele nodded gently.
The voice rang in her ear again.
“Xier, actually, I’m a little scared too. I felt a suffocating feeling coming from that woman.”
"Let's leave! It's best to get away from her, and do it quietly."
A girl who looked exactly like the sickly girl, but with red eyes, appeared beside her, gently stroking her face and encouraging her.
Of course, the black figure next to her is an illusion, an existence that only Seele can perceive.
Encouraged by Hei Xi, Xi Er tiptoed away from the vicinity without making a sound, her steps light and unhurried.
Just as they were about to leave the search area of the woman with the hair, a sudden change occurred.
A rush-class Honkai Beast appeared in Seele's field of vision. It turned around and glanced at the two of them, then, as if it had discovered something, it hurriedly flapped its wings in an irregular manner.
Both Hei Xi and Xi Er showed surprise, but then an ominous premonition enveloped their hearts.
"How could a Honkai Beast possibly appear in the Sea of Quanta?"
Snap~ Snap
The sound of a slap came from behind Seele.
The two turned around together and saw that the woman with spiky hair who had been far away was now less than two meters away from them.
Xingyue, of course, could not see Heixi in her phantom form. She only saw the sickly girl clutching a scythe, retreating with a look of terror on her face.
"Oh dear! I never imagined the target would be right under my nose!"
"Thank you for your hard work, little one."
The Honkai Beast that had spotted Seele flew to the woman's hand, nuzzled her affectionately, and then vanished in a speck of light.
Just now, she suddenly realized why she had to be the one to find someone.
While low-level Honkai Beasts may not be good at fighting, they are first-rate at finding people, almost like they have X-ray vision.
For example, in the manga, Cocolia and those other people were in a room at the military base without showing their faces, but the Honkai Beasts could still sense the human presence and instantly annihilated them.
Of her previous million Honkai Beasts, aside from the few thousand left to patrol inside and outside the island, the rest were converted into her energy, which gave her the leisure to create more Honkai Beasts.
It seems to be working very well.
Xingyue quietly gave herself a thumbs up.
"Who...who are you? What do you want with me?"
Seele said as she backed away, her voice trembling with fear.
What am I supposed to do?
This time, it was Xingyue's turn to look very confused.
"Of course, we're here to rescue my concubine from the Sea of Quanta!"
?
Both Seele players typed question marks simultaneously.
Seeing Seele's confusion, Xingyue took out a tape recorder from her pocket.
"Yes, if Bronya loses, Bronya and Seele will both marry you."
"Bronya lost, and I will marry you along with Seele..."
The recording was interrupted by Xingyue at this point.
After putting the tape recorder back in her pocket, a cunning glint flashed in her eyes, then she put on a smile and smiled at Seele.
“Look, your sister Bronya has agreed ('-W-`), so you’re mine now.”
How could this be? How could this happen?
"Bronya, how could you do such a thing? Seele clearly doesn't like anyone else."
Seele could no longer control her emotions; tears streamed down her face, and she collapsed to the ground, her little hands angrily pounding the ground.
She had no doubt about the authenticity of the recording; she would never forget Bronya's speech and voice.
That's why Seele was in despair.
Chapter Twenty-Four: Blackie, will you reward me?
Xingyue patted the back of the delicate girl lying on the ground and said softly.
"Don't cry, come with me, Seele."
slap~
Xier slapped away Xingyue's outstretched hand.
"You~"
Xingyue looked at Xier lying on the ground with some surprise.
Tears streamed down the delicate girl's face like a spring.
The girl's gaze toward the woman with the hair on her head contained resentment, anger, and a hint of self-reproach.
She blamed herself, thinking that if she had been with Bronya, if Bronya had left the Sea of Quanta sooner, this wouldn't have happened.
"I won't let anyone except my sister Bronya touch me."
Seele's pupils turned red, and her dress changed to rose color.
Black Heise Takes Over Body
However, she didn't say something like a yandere heroine, such as, "If I kill you, Bronya will still be mine."
Clearly, Hei Xi wasn't stupid either. She glared at Xing Yue on behalf of Xi'er, then ran away quickly without looking back, like a blood-red light under the moon.
As long as this woman can't have her, Seele will still have a chance.
After they leave the Sea of Quanta, they will go together to ask Bronya for the truth.
In addition, Hei Xi only ran towards areas with dense quantum cubes, constantly traversing complex terrain, making it difficult for the latter to catch up with her.
"Hmph! I see!"
Xingyue lowered his head, his smile somewhat gloomy.
She gazed at the black figure that had already disappeared into the distance.
"Hei Xi, you're quite capable!"
"But it's all in vain."
"You and Bronya are both mine. After all this effort, how can I let it all go to waste here?"
Xingyue stretched out a palm, aiming at Heixi's area, and slowly closed her eyes, calculating the force in her mind.
A few seconds later, she opened her eyes again, a rainbow of light flashing in the girl's deep blue eyes.
In the distance, Hei Xi, who was running, suddenly felt a chill down her spine. Then, her hair stood on end, and a sense of danger came over her. The battle-hardened Hei Xi immediately took a defensive stance.
The next second, the surroundings were covered in white. Hei Xi felt a stinging pain on her skin, but it was still within a tolerable range.
