Chapter 117: Experiment Suspension

Below the Cocoon of Finality, there will be an experiment organized by the world's smartest and most powerful scientists.

Guess who won't be there?

Of course, it's Tesla and Einstein!

After all, Schicksal and Anti Entropy are incompatible, but when it comes to resources and technology, Schicksal controlled by Otto is definitely ahead of Anti Entropy.

There's no way around it; Anti Entropy has started making mecha directly in animations!

Moreover, the headquarters of Anti Entropy is still in the United States. Although the technology there is indeed relatively advanced, everyone knows how rotten that place really is.

Will the future improve? Bronie doesn't know, but it's definitely not better than Schikcsal right now.

Plus, Cocolia hasn't joined Anti Entropy, and the future development of Anti Entropy may be jeopardized by her influence.

Bronie probably knows a little about these things, so in the end, she just plans to briefly inform the people at Anti Entropy about this matter and share some experimental data.

From the imaginary cores of Schicksal and Anti Entropy, it can be seen.

Anti Entropy indeed specializes in researching the Honkai energy; so-called imaginary cores are just cores of Honkai Energy with imaginary properties, which are closer to the Cocoon of Finality.

As for the imaginary core of Schicksal, the golden light further confirms Otto's exploration of the Imaginary Tree.

To be honest, the worldview of the Tree of Existence created by the legendary man who created Nous, Zandar, has not been overturned to this day!

And Otto himself has explored the essence of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers through his own efforts, which is also very impressive.

This is also one of the reasons why Bronie chose Otto as a partner.

And as it turns out, this experiment was very successful.

The imaginary space was indeed opened, and the detector sent to the imaginary space was easily destroyed by the high concentration of imaginary energy inside.

The pictures transmitted back finally showed that the Imaginary Tree does exist conceptually, but it is as untouchable as a reflection in water.

Fortunately, through ether editing, transcribing the data memory into imaginary energy, and forming special imaginary rules, this was successful.

The fusion experiment that followed was led by Mobius and Otto, and the fusion process lasted for nearly three days.

Before Su emerged from the cultivation chamber, Bronie was once again thrown into the library by Vill-V.

This time, the accompanying person was no longer Elysia, but Eden. Vill-V said that tastes should be changed occasionally.

Elysia likes Bronie, while Eden appreciates the artistic bacteria in Bronie's body very much, so she wants to observe Bronie's living state up close.

As a result, Bronie was usually very serious about studying and occasionally hummed a strange song or two, which made Eden feel like she wanted to perfect the tunes and was curious about those...

But she couldn't bear to disturb Bronie's studying and almost gave herself mental damage for holding back from asking.

Yes, Eden regretted taking care of Bronie on the sidelines. Who knew Bronie would be like a little demon who has seductive charm, just humming a few songs could provoke a reaction from Eden?

The worst part was that all the songs hummed by Bronie was music she never heard of before!

She was heavily conflicted, but there was no way to solve it, and it was embarrassing to disturb Bronie's studying.

Making noise on the side would definitely affect Bronie.

As a result, when Eden and Bronie came out together, Eden almost cried in Elysia's arms.

"Hey, do you remember anything?"

Bronie walked out of the library again and saw Su surrounded by the bunch of people.

Fu Hua watched quietly from the side, while Griseo who was accompanied by Kosma circled around Su, curiously inspecting him for any problems.

As soon as Bronie, the biggest contributor to this experiment, came to Su's side and said a word, everyone looked at Bronie.

Bronie felt uncomfortable being stared at all over.

"For fifty thousand years, I still remember most of the memories of the Elysian Realm, but some of the details may have been hidden deep in my memory, and there is also a more obvious sense of detachment.

But the injuries on my body have also healed quite a bit, thanks to Miss Bronie. Thank you for your efforts all along. The memory replica me sees it, and also, unfortunately, I didn't get to play the game you made with my own hands. I'll take the time to experience it in the next period."

Mr. Su usually squints his eyes, making it hard to tell if they're open or closed, but that plain smile is like the old man in the Chengdu teahouse who walks his bird for exercise, making people wonder if Su will ever participate in the next fight against the Honkai.

"You make me feel a little embarrassed by saying that. As long as you're alive and your memory is okay, it's fine. Just have Mobius check you out more, and then there's Fu Hua..."

Bronie also looked at Fu Hua, who was air-headed on the side.

"I won't refuse and give up treatment. You can rest assured about that. It's just that you don't seem to be in good shape. Do you need to rest for a while?"

The Hyperbolic Time Chamber also puts enormous pressure on Kakarot, and the library built by Vill-V in the Elysian Realm is the same.

Two consecutive high-intensity study sessions made Bronie's complexion naturally not very good.

But who knows if this state will disappear?

Bronie wanted to take advantage of the efficient learning buff given by the Aeon to quickly fill her empty head with knowledge!

In short, useful or useless, anyway, try to cram it into your head first. She's not like Fu Hua, who has hyperthymesia, but she can always find opportunities to use knowledge.

"Well... I do need to rest for a while. What experiments are next? As for Fu Hua's physical treatment, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Hearing Bronie's question, Mobius also stepped forward.

"Not too difficult? If it weren't for Garuda's genes, Fu Hua would probably have become an idiot who only knows how to fight Honkai beasts by now. Do you think treating her body is difficult or not? But there's one thing that feels strange to me. Could it be that you, Otto—"

Otto has always maintained a connection to the Elysian Realm. During this time, he has provided a lot of support for treating Su's condition. Although everyone is familiar with him, everyone has heard Bronie say that Otto is an absolute egoist and must be handled with care.

So after seeing the problem with Fu Hua, Mobius finally realized.

"What?" Otto listened quietly to Mobius's words.

"It's nothing, just feel like I understand you more~"

Looking at Otto's eyes, Mobius also instantly understood that Otto was deliberate.

Deliberate about what?

Deliberately not treating Fu Hua!

That's right, by maintaining Fu Hua's state of amnesia, all of Fu Hua's actions are driven by her sense of duty to fight against Honkai.

And by using this sense of duty, Otto can easily control the power in Fu Hua's hands and become a obedient Valkyrie under Otto's command.

Although this state will greatly reduce Fu Hua's power, it can gradually make Fu Hua let go of her guard and then be deceived onto Otto's operating table.

But all of this had already happened long ago, and pointing it out wouldn't change anything for either party.

At most, Otto would give some compensation, and as a data memory body, Mobius wouldn't get much substantial compensation.

"Haha, there's no way around it. After experiencing the Second Great Honkai, Schicksal also fell into a state of resource scarcity. You know, humans never hide their greed. Once there's a loophole, it's always possible for some insects to take advantage of it."

This sentence is definitely for Fu Hua to hear.

Only Fu Hua, the honest person, would believe Otto's words, while Bronie cooperated with Otto and said, "Three tons of Soul Steel, one hundred imaginary cores of Schicksal, and a shop on the commercial street of Saint Freya Academy."

After these compensations were given, this matter was considered settled.

Although Otto planned to use Fu Hua's combat power to achieve his goals, he didn't actually cause much substantive harm to Fu Hua.

The only thing that could be considered harm was probably during the Second Great Honkai, when Sirin was released, waiting for Sirin to grow up and forcing Fu Hua to use the 1st power of Fenghuang Down, which burned her brain.

But it was also because of this harm that it led to the subsequent unfortunate events.

"It's a reasonable request, but I'm a little confused. Why would you want the so-called shop on Saint Freya's commercial street?"

For Otto, these things in front of him could indeed bleed Schicksal heavily, especially those imaginary cores, each of which is invaluable and basically not circulated outside.

It was because these precious things contained a very subtle thing that caught Otto's attention.

Otto furrowed his brow, pondering the deeper meaning behind Bronie's actions.

Having been outsmarted by Bronie before and feeling like a clown in Bronie's eyes for three years, Otto was cautious.

What? Bronie studying in the Elysian Realm?

She must be lying to himself that she's illiterate!

What? Everyone in the Elysian Realm is just data memory bodies?

She must be lying to me. There must be real people in there!

And this time, when Bronie demanded the shop, it directly set off alarm bells in Otto's mind.

She wouldn't be eyeing her granddaughter, would she?

"Nothing, just to open a Switch experience store. Valkyries need a nice place to relax when they're not busy, after all. They're busy every day, and when they want to rest, they don't want to go out but still want entertainment, so I want to find a suitable location."

Su frowned as he listened.

Otto is a very clever person. Su has observed Otto's life through the Cosmic Juggernaut, which can be said to be very miserable, so Su couldn't help but view Bronie's actions from Otto's perspective.

The result?

He didn't understand.

Really didn't understand!

Bronie must have her reasons for doing this, but he completely couldn't understand Bronie's behavior.

Otto fell silent.

His sharp eyes continued to scrutinize Bronie's expression, trying to analyze something.

"Well, I'll transfer the shop to you later through the network, and I'll send the agreement directly. The delivery address is at the airport where Fu Hua landed, and it will arrive in two days."

"That's great. Is there anything else? Or are there any experiments that need my participation next?"

Bronie looked at Mobius.

"Not for now. We don't plan to touch the Imaginary Tree in the short term, because Vill-V's analysis report has come out. Long-term contact with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers may incur costs we can't accept, or even trigger the Tree of Imaginary Numbers' self-defense mechanism. The specific situation isn't very clear to me. You'll have to ask the expert Vill-V."

When Mobius is doing serious work, she jokes less, and as a genius scientist, shd fully shows herself in front of Bronie.

Besides the significant experimental significance, it's more because Mobius also regards Bronie as a research companion.

Su's body is fine, and Fu Hua's treatment is relatively simple, so there's really no need for Bronie to try to touch the Tree of Imaginary Numbers again in the short term.

And the weak points in space have also dissipated. In the future, we can't always rely on the Aeon to open the door for experiments, right?

As for the cost?

How could there be no cost to touching the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?

Bronie was mentally prepared long ago.

"I'm going to leave now. Although our time together was very short, the children at the orphanage haven't fully grown up yet."

After confirming Vill-V's experimental report and greeting other Flame Chasers, Bronie found Elysia in the lounge knitting.

--No, why is Elysia knitting?

"Sure enough, Bronie has a bit of my charm. After getting familiar with each other, she always disappears inadvertently and meets other beautiful girls!"

"No, I just..."

"I understand, I understand~ Bronie, if you meet new beautiful girls in the future, don't forget about me!"

"No no no, I just see others as friends, but Elysia is different!"

Seeing Bronie's serious expression and her firm grip on her hand, Elysia blushed shyly.

"In my heart, Bronie is also very special! The miracle of the Quantum Sea, whenever I think of the sea, I think of you. Doesn't it feel very romantic?"

"When I see pink flowers, I also easily think of you. It's just that the Honkai still exists, and the progress of resurrection research is still a long way off. To put it in slightly plainer terms, it's like I can't protect you without a knife, but I can't accompany you with a knife."

"Where did you learn those words?"

Elysia couldn't help but laugh at Bronie's serious delivery of cheesy love words, and Bronie projected out a book.

"I don't know who left it in the library, but I happened to finish reading it carelessly. I think it must be a book someone in the Elysian Realm has read before? But this time I used it, didn't I?"

"When you're outside, remember to think of me more! And also, make sure to keep in touch with me!"
