Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 280 The Return of the Chips

Quantum Sea.

Jiang Ming carefully observed the fluctuations around him, and after finding nothing unusual, he used [Genius+] to send a message to Changguang and the others. After a while, Bianca successfully arrived at the Quantum Sea, and her clothes changed to Xingkai, looking extremely slim.

Jiang Ming took the girl's right hand and gently kneaded it while leading her to the designated coordinates.

"We are going to go to the depths of the Quantum Sea. Please hold my hand. It will be safer this way."

"Well, I won't let go."

Although they encountered some quantum shadows along the way, they were at most emperor level, and Jiang Ming carefully waved his hand and turned them into bubbles in the quantum sea.

Soon, under the guidance of Changguang and others and the continuous exploration of Jiang Ming and Bianca, the two of them began to jump in different dimensions of space in the quantum sea.

[Main body, this way]

Ever since Jiang Ming learned about his identity, the [Ultimate] true meaning in his body rarely used the term host, but instead called him the original body. However, after receiving its guidance, Jiang Ming took Bianca to the designated location and made another space jump.

Then, they came to a pure white space. Jiang Ming asked, and the true meaning of [Extreme] was explained.

[You should remember that in the plot you remember, this experiment should have taken place after the Ruler of Domination. After defeating the Ruler of Domination, although the former had perished, under Otto's means, a part of the Domination Theater was preserved to help them establish a direct connection with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.]

[The Ruler of Domination is a collection of multiple consciousnesses, and has the ability to build a unique domain in the cracks of space. In order to control its minions from this nest, this Ruler borrowed the power of the Imaginary Number Tree and used puppet lines to connect different spaces together. This also resulted in the Ruler Theater still maintaining a certain connection with the Imaginary Number Tree even when it was about to sink into the quantum sea.]

[But there are no such conditions now, so we need to find another way out. The space I brought you to, through the means left by the original body of the [Ultimate] Star God, also established a connection with the Imaginary Number Tree. Don't worry about it, go ahead.]

‘Thank you. ’

After simply expressing his thanks, Jiang Ming explained the function of this space to everyone, and even Otto couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

“Haha, I am getting more and more curious about what realm you reached back then. You can connect with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers at will. But even though you are so powerful, you still need to reincarnate again... I really don’t understand the existence of Star Gods.”

Otto's tone was casual, but Jiang Ming knew that his mind was full of thoughts. Otto got the answer about his identity from Rita, but of course, he didn't care.

Rather, if Otto could really find out something, then he would actually wish him to do so. After all, he knew nothing about the Star God.

When I asked about the true meaning of [Extreme], the answer I got was: You are the original body now, so why bother about your identity in the previous life? You just need to follow the path you want to take, and I will help you. There is no need to know the past.

Every inquiry ended in vain.

Jiang Ming and Bianca continued to move forward. About a quarter of an hour later, a purple-black wormhole that looked like a black hole appeared in front of them. It was just big enough for the two of them to enter.

"This is what we mentioned before. As for the next space, do we really have no intelligence to serve as a guide?"

Bianca asked tentatively, and Nagamitsu responded immediately.

"Alas... After all, the space so close to the Imaginary Number Tree is a place that no one has ever reached before. You are still in the Quantum Sea, but one step further is the territory of the Imaginary Number Tree. The only thing we can do now is to verify through theoretical calculations that you can move normally there. The rest depends on you or leave it to fate."

It was a fairly rational answer, but Bianca was optimistic and began to comfort Changguang.

"It doesn't matter. Experiments are always accompanied by unknowns. In today's experiment, Jiang Ming and everyone used various safeguards to ensure that the world bubble in my body could escape unscathed under various circumstances. For me, all unbearable risks have been eliminated, so..."

Bianca twisted her fingers, interlaced them with her lover beside her, looked at him intently, and spoke in a soft tone.

"Jiang Ming, come with me."

Jiang Ming smiled and moved closer to his lover: "In that case, Bishop, we will be back soon. By the way, Miss Changguang, thank you for your help in various aspects."

"Bon Voyage."

"Haha... As expected, you, Jiang Ming, found it. I wish you a safe journey. I hope my help can help you."

"Yes, Miss Changguang."

After Jiang Ming thanked again, he and Bianca stepped directly into the wormhole connecting different dimensions.

Imaginary number space.

This is the origin of the universe and the intersection of laws. The meaning of time here cannot be understood by common sense, and the operation of things here cannot be calculated by mechanics. This is the other side of the world, the rules above the rules.

In the seemingly empty space, the two of them moved forward with the help of the compass [Gneius].

As if not wanting to waste time, [Extreme] spoke again: [Myself, I will teleport you directly to your destination, which is Shigure Kirara. Please be prepared.]

Although Jiang Ming thought it was unnecessary, he still held the girl beside him tighter. Their bodies were already close to each other. Bianca subconsciously thought about what to do. While her right hand's ten fingers were intertwined, her left hand also grabbed Jiang Ming's left arm.

However, whether it was due to the wonder of the imaginary space or the profound true meaning of [Ultimate], the two did not feel the changes in the space around them, but suddenly a purple star appeared in front of them.

"Bian, can I see you, ka?"

A faint and unclear voice came from the starlight, in the same direction as Gnius pointed out. Since there was nothing in this space that could serve as a medium for sound waves, the voice came directly into the mind.

Jiang Ming knew Shi Yu Qiluo's voice here, and the reason he was able to find them was because of Miss Chang Guang's help.

"I'm Shi Qi, come here!"

"It looks like this is the person who is going to pick us up. Bianca, let's go."

Jiang Ming sent a message directly into Bianca's mind. Seeing the girl nodded immediately, Jiang Ming took Bianca into the starlight.

...............

Some time ago...

“It really appeared…!?”

The owner of the voice and her companion came to this designated space area in confusion not long ago.

The information about the area came from a string of mysterious etheric signals, which bluntly announced that Bianca Atagina would appear here with the World Bubble and her boyfriend.

Who sent this prophecy? What is the purpose? She and her companions knew nothing about it, but this prophecy was obviously not sent by Bianca or Rita themselves. After all, it directly said that the person who received the message could give the Valkyries a surprise.

Is the other party the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny? No, that person will definitely take the opportunity to propose conditions, and it is impossible for him to just ask for the shooting unilaterally. He doesn't like the situation where things are out of control.

So... are they residents of the World Bubble? This is even more impossible. They are naturally cut off from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and have no conditions to send information here.

Besides, the above is fine, but what about the boyfriend? Bianca's boyfriend? Is it fake?

But before they could think about it, the distance between the visitors from the intrinsic world and them suddenly shortened as if by teleportation.

"Hey, old partner—"

"Bianca, can you hear me? Bianca? I'm Shigure Kirara, I'm here! Shigure Kirara and Nicholas are here!"

Perhaps believing that the person coming was Bianca, the latter's voice sounded very excited, which made the former burst out laughing - her old partner had a good intuition and didn't need her to remind him of anything.

The perspective returns to Jiang Ming and the others. After passing through the purple starlight, two people appear in front of them...ah, to be precise, it is a person and a strange creature, like a gray fur ball, standing on Shigure Qiluo's left shoulder.

"Bianca! It's been such a long time since we last met... Um... Who is this...?"

Since they hadn't seen each other for several years, Shigure Kirara, who originally wanted to hug each other, stopped immediately, because on Bianca's right, there was a handsome man who was completely close to her, even at the level of shoulder to chest.

This made Shi Yu Qiluo's eyes twitch a few times.

"um, I--"

Jiang Ming was about to speak, but Bianca put more strength on her hands, almost holding them in front of him, and took the lead in introducing them to the two.

"This is my fiancé, Jiang Ming. I like him very much. He is the one I want to entrust my life to. The bishop has spread this matter to every corner of Tianming. All the Valkyries know about this."

Nicholas: "..."

Shigure Kirara: “Ah?”

Even though she had a little hope in her heart that he was just a boyfriend and they didn't necessarily mean they would be together in the future, Shigure Kirara was still thinking too conservatively.

Although it was a bit straightforward, at this moment Bianca was like a qualified and virtuous wife introducing her husband. The more she spoke, the sweeter and more satisfied the smile on her face became, and a faint blush gradually appeared, making her look even more adorable.

But Shigure Kirara couldn't laugh——What!? Lady Cecilia has been snatched away by Siegfried! How could Bianca, who is equally talented and beautiful, be snatched away by another man so quickly and at such a young age——!?

Shi Yu Qiluo's heartbeat seemed to slow down for half a beat. There was a burning look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Ming. Of course, it was not the heat of joy, but the heat of wanting to hit someone.

"Bianca, now that we are here, I have something to say and some new plans. You should know what I mean."

Jiang Ming looked at the angry Shigure Qiluo in front of him and smiled in his heart, but he didn't care, because there were many girls waiting for him to return to St. Freya Academy, so he prepared to get straight to the point.

"Well, I understand. That's what you said."

Seeing that Bianca agreed, Jiang Ming looked at Shi Yu Qiluo first, with a smile on his face and a sincere tone.

"You should be Miss Shigure Kirara, right? I heard Bianca mention you. A few years ago, when the world was in chaos, you helped my Bianca. I am so grateful. It's a pity that I was not there at that time. It's a pity..."

"Well, it's okay. This is what I should do as a Valkyrie. You don't have to do this. I'm doing this for Bianca's own good."

Although Shigure Kirara's tone was a little nonchalant, she still calmed down. After all, Bianca was mature and stable. She was not the kind of girl who would fall in love with someone just because they helped her. She was a girl who would think carefully.

Besides, the person in front of me not only looks better than Siegfried, but also speaks better than that guy. However, I still need to observe him.

After Jiang Ming finished his polite remarks, he got straight to the point.

"You two should be the A-rank Valkyries who survived the second Honkai, right? Your information is in the database of Destiny, Shigure Kirara and Nicholas."

"Yeah, what's wrong? Are you surprised that we're still alive? Actually, it's nothing, the other party just let us go."

"Of course I have to let you go. Otherwise, not only will there be trouble on a moral level, but there will also be trouble in the future."

Jiang Ming's smile remained unchanged: "Is that so... But I have a suggestion now. Miss Nicholas should be a local here, so I won't ask any more questions. I wonder if Miss Shigure Qiluo is willing to return to Earth?"

Shigure Kirara has already become a resident of this bubble, so she would definitely not agree to Jiang Ming's sudden proposal.

But just as Shi Yu Qi Luo was about to refuse and explain, Jiang Ming spoke first: "Miss Shi Yu, you don't have to refuse me so quickly, because I happen to have a bargaining chip that you can't refuse. Please see here."

Jiang Ming waved his right hand, and a white portal appeared in this small world bubble.

The next second, Cecilia and Nicholas' former comrades, Salome Jokanan, Cheng Lixue and Theresa, walked out of the portal one after another, which shocked Shi Yu Qiluo and Nicholas.

“Lady Cecilia——?!! You haven’t…you haven’t…how is this possible?! And Lady Theresa, everyone in the Snow Wolf Squad…”

If mirages didn't usually appear in this bubble of a world, Shigure Qiluo would have felt that what appeared before her was an illusion.

Fortunately, with the help of Jiang Ming's memory of the universe rules, both of them knew the cause and effect. As for Cecilia and the others, they were just allowed to enter their own world's universe rules in advance.
