Chapter 93: Ether Singularity

Chapter 93: Ether Singularity

After Seele came to the world bubble of the Tower of Babylon, the time points for recording her diary were relatively fixed. She would record in the quantum diary once a day, which also provided effective help for Kirataka to judge the passage of time.

After his comparison, he found that in the last reincarnation in this world, Seele stayed here for thirteen days and witnessed Sirin transforming into the "Herrscher of the Void" and destroying the Tower of Babylon.

And this time, twelve days have passed since she joined here as a member.

However, because of Seele's joining and the fact that she underwent most of the experiments on her behalf, all of Sirin's friends are still alive this time.

Judging from what Seele recorded in her diary, the mental state of the purple-haired girl herself is still pretty good.

Therefore, according to this situation, there is probably a reason why Sirin did not transform into the "Herrscher of the Void" this time.

After reading Seele's quantum diary, Kirataka returned it to the girl and said, "It's all right, Seele."

"OK…" The blue-haired girl stroked her bare hands, turned over a blank page, and continued writing on it, "If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

Finally, an outsider who is truly like her appears, and is also a friend of Sister Bronya. Seele is very happy at this moment.

She had been wandering for too long, and Kirataka's arrival was like hope to a drowning person.

At the same time, she also hopes to work with Kirataka to find a way to rescue the children trapped here.

——She had tried, but it was impossible for her to accomplish such a thing alone with her wisdom and strength.

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to find a solution," Kirataka consoled her.

Then, he temporarily ended Seele's communication through the diary and left the small room.

Outside the door, the Project Bunny was waiting obediently at the door, looking at him and Seele in the room from time to time through its electronic pupils.

Seeing that he seemed to have finished his work for the time being, the anxiously waiting artificial intelligence could no longer suppress its inner doubts and asked him eagerly, "Master Kirataka, what were you talking about with Seele just now?"

She couldn't wait to reunite with her creator, but now Seele was right in front of her, but she couldn't contact or communicate with her.

After all, it was just a mecha. She couldn't communicate with Seele through the diary like Kirataka did. She could only stare at her from outside the door under Kirataka's orders.

"…Just some information about this bubble of a world. Anyway, if I want to take Seele away from here, it seems that I need to do something else."

Kirataka answered casually. He didn't explain the specific situation to this artificial intelligence.

"So, is there anything I can do for you?" the Project Bunny asked with concern.

Even though she asked this, she still couldn't do anything that was too complicated.

After all, she is just a combat mecha.

In the past, when she was under Bronya's command, she just followed orders and cooperated in battle.

Kirataka thought for a moment and then said to the Project Bunny in front of him, "Uh... let me think about it. Bunny, you just stay here and watch over Seele and these kids for a while. Let me know if anything happens."

If he wants to investigate the situation of this world bubble, he can't stay in this small room all the time.

But Seele does need looking after, so just let Project Bunny take care of her.

"Okay, I understand, Master Kirataka!" This responsibility was exactly what Project Bunny wanted, so she agreed to it without hesitation.

"Then please just watch here while I go to other parts of the Tower of Babylon."

After waving goodbye to Project Bunny, Kirataka left the underground area alone.

…

While leaving the underground area of the Tower of Babylon and moving upward, Kirataka was also seriously thinking about how to solve the problem of this world bubble.

From what we've learned so far, this world bubble will capture outsiders and assimilate them into members of this world bubble after certain conditions are met.

Seele has obviously suffered a lot and become a member here, but he is still in the early stages and has not been affected.

According to conventional thinking, it is more reasonable to wait for the moment of destruction of this world bubble in an orderly manner, witness its end with your own eyes, and then come up with a strategy.

However, Kirataka, who is in a hurry, does not have enough time to search for patterns carefully, peek at the results, and then come up with a solution.

He planned to solve the problem first by using another method that went straight to the root of the problem.

In addition to finding the rules of this world bubble and coming up with a way to take Seele away within the scope of the rules, there is of course a simpler and more brutal way to solve the problem –

That is to find the [ether singularity] of this world bubble and destroy it.

The so-called [ether singularity], also known as the [ether anchor point], is the existence that controls the rules and stability of a world bubble.

It is something that must exist in every world bubble, determines the various rules of each world bubble itself, possesses special authority, and is the foundation necessary for the world bubble to survive in the quantum sea.

For example, the universal wish-granting machine in the Kongming World Bubble and the Six Outer Paths in the Yae Sakura World Bubble.

Once the [ether singularity] is lost or destroyed, the world bubble will soon be completely destroyed under the erosion of the quantum sea and rolled inward into fragments of space and time.

In short, if there is no way to rescue Seele according to the rules later, Kirataka must consider this simplest and most brutal method to solve the problem.

After all, if you do this, you don't have to care about the rules of this world bubble itself. As long as the world bubble itself is destroyed, Seele and others trapped in it can also be rescued.

Rather, if you want to rescue Seele within six hours, this direct and head-on approach of breaking the rules may be the only option.

If nothing unexpected happens, the ether singularity of this world should be somewhere within this Tower of Babylon – except for this place, there are no other living creatures in the entire snowfield, and the existence of Honkai energy cannot be sensed.

With his ghost-like state, he can move freely in the entire tower without disturbing anyone, which is very convenient.

Now, he plans to investigate the staff in this tower first.
