Chapter 153: The Tuna's Confidence
🕑 Added 2025-09-12 14:20:23 +0000 UTCErwin Reanna Schrodinger.
Once a student of Planck and a scientist of the North American branch of Schicksal, they soon rebelled after the events of Manhattan City. She is a good friend of Tesla, Einstein, and Welt Joyce.
While the three became responsible for managing Anti-Entropy—to which Schrodinger named herself—she was trapped inside the Sea of Quanta. Without any other viable options left, she chose to explore it.
For once, there was the special power used by Nancy Alva Thomas Edison. Her death is partly caused by it. That “power” is something outside the honkai. Schrodinger wanted to find out the truth behind Edison’s death, but to no avail.
That “power” beyond any human understanding could not be found elsewhere.
Schrodinger did end up finding a lot of other honkai-related secrets—something related to the Previous Era.
One day, she “sensed” the special signal of the Eye of the Deep go off. It allowed her to return to the real world.
When she did come back to the outside world, she learned a lot of changes occurred. Immortal cultivation, Welt Yang’s strength, and Anti-Entropy’s unprecedented unity shook her.
Finally, she was told that their friend needs her help. Schrodinger went back to the Sea of Quanta, and two days later, she managed to reach Kiana due to the sheer amount of ‘signal’ she was sending off. The Second Herrscher’s Authority came in handy at this moment.
“...The Second Herrscher. Tesla said that you are looking for someone?”
“Um. She is my friend. She has a Natural Stigma, and after something happened, it was triggered. The next moment, she went off to this place…”
Schrodinger caught the key points swiftly.
Natural Stigma. That meant a “special signal” within this vast Sea of Quanta. All Herrschers send off a unique signal due to their connection with the Imaginary Tree.
But…
‘There is no signal.’
The Sea of Quanta has no concept of direction and magnitude. Distance is disorderly. At one point, you might have stepped five meters to the front, only to find yourself fifty meters to the back of your origin.
It is this lack of order that made it easier to locate “signals”. This becomes invalid if the signal’s source is inside a Bubble World.
All they can use is the prior traces they left outside.
“That’s right! I also have another f…boyfriend looking for her.” Kiana explained. “Maybe he already found her…”
Schrodinger raised her eyebrows. She was surprised to see the “Second Herrscher” trust someone so much.
Kiana suddenly remembered her Herrscher Authority. She attempted to use it as a ‘radar’ for any ‘signals’ (i.e., anomalies). That includes the Sea of Quanta’s rejection…
“There..!”
A clear line presented itself in Kiana’s sight. The ‘disturbance’ caused by Shi Tian—both as a Herrscher and as a cultivator—is too big to not notice.
The two traveled through for some time. Schrodinger matched Kiana’s teleportation pace with her own. They ignored the surrounding bubble worlds and locked onto their destination.
An hour later, a strange bubble world was seen by the two.
Buzz-!
Schrodinger attempted to touch the bubble world’s membrane and felt a strong suction force. She hurriedly teleported away from it, causing her cloak to flutter.
“Such a complete bubble world… I am afraid it is part of the real world.”
“You mean… A part of the world slipped to the Sea of Quanta?”
“That’s the case.”
Schrodinger recalled the time when she met the ELFs. Their Bubble World, Mu Continent, used to be a huge landmass back in the Previous Era. It is the center of Earth’s technological advancements.
Due to the leftover technological devices and Mu Continent belonging on Earth, the ELFs’ bubble world survived for fifty one thousand years. The “Ether Anchor” keeping it safe from the Sea of Quanta’s erosion is strong.
It is completely unlike other bubble worlds that are only replicas of the real world. The status of real and a replica is vastly different inside the Sea of Quanta.
“...No. Doctor Einstein did not report any irregularities. Even if they did not notice, I should be able to notice it…”
“???”
Schrodinger had to do a double take on this Herrscher of the Void. Seeing her confused looks, Kiana explained:
“My eyes can monitor the entire Earth. I did a quick sweep before I went here.”
‘Immortal cultivation…’
She gained more understanding about the so-called immortal cultivation. It is an extremely absurd power system that turns ordinary humans into world-destroying masters!
“If that’s not the case…”
“That isn’t too important now.” Schrodinger interjected. “This bubble world should have both your friend and boyfriend. It has a strong suction force… and I don’t feel good about it.”
“Then, I will go inside first.”
“..?”
Under her surprised eyes, Kiana went ahead and allowed herself to be sucked inside. This completely overturned Schrodinger’s plans.
‘This girl is too reckless!’
Without a choice, she hurriedly chased Kiana.
Hum-!
Ripple-!
The barrier blocked her entry.
"...No. It's... quantum entanglement. A barrier made out of it. "
Schrodinger examined the "barrier" and found it to be impenetrable. Despite using her abilities, she could not enter as easily as Kiana.
"A criteria... a Herrscher?"
The strange turn of events left her without any words.
"Should I return first? The others should be able to help. But..."
*****
Kiana’s actions seemed reckless in Schrodinger’s eyes, but for her, it is within her ‘normal’ tolerance to dangers. She saw not much use in analyzing things. The nature of this membrane far surpasses what they can do now.
Seeing the set of five hundred monsters appear around her, she went for the insta-kill.
Sou-!
Psshk-!
Sou-!
…
The 284 Qi Refining equivalents died instantly. The 200 Foundation Establishment equivalents used their corresponding abilities and barely got out alive. The 15 Purple Mansion equivalents sustained minimal damage.
Finally, the single entity with an authority comparable to a Herrscher’s deflected her subspace lance using a dozen layers of dark blue ice shields.
“So he is fighting this lot…”
Inheriting Shi Tian’s silence during battles, Kiana wordlessly flashed in front of the Golden Core equivalent in one go.
Fuzz-!
She was surprised to see the monster ‘freeze’ the surrounding temperatures to absolute zero.
Her physique remained unaffected by it.
‘This is just right!’
Expending a fraction of her mental power, she mobilized her Herrscher Core.
Buzz-!
Hum-!
BAM-!
In one go, the distorted gravitational field around her killed all the quantum monsters. Beyond their “abilities” that corresponded to the cultivators’ realm, their raw physical and mental attributes are horrendously low. They rightfully earned the title of “fake cultivators”.
Click-!
Hum-!
A huge cube appeared behind the remaining Golden Core monster. Gravity pushed it towards the cube, which was then counteracted by the monster’s ability to create ice constructs out of thin air.
With a little analysis, Kiana understood its abilities.
‘...Wait. Doesn’t it look similar to his..?’
