"The three Doctors, Laboratory 003 has made a breakthrough discovery."
Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice rang out in the meeting room: "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we have discovered what appears to be the legendary Dirac Sea."
The Dirac Sea, according to Earth's scientific theories, is simply an ocean of energy composed of so-called Quantum vacuum zero-point energy.
"Where is the data? Project the detected data in front of us."
A glimmer of light appeared in Mei's eyes; she had a premonition that this new discovery might be the key to breaking their current deadlock.
Soon, a dense array of countless data points emerged. The more the Fire-Moth Big Three looked, the brighter their eyes became.
The three glanced at each other and then nodded in tacit agreement.
"Prometheus, notify Elysia to drop what she's doing and come here immediately."
"Yes, Doctor!"
"Hehehe! I didn't expect such an unexpected harvest."
Mobius extended her seductive tongue and licked her dry lips. She didn't realize that her current expression was like a serpent-woman staring intently at her prey.
"Stop smirking. We need to immediately research the corresponding technologies."
An imperceptible smile flickered across Mei's indifferent face before she quickly composed herself and said, "Vill-V, the Quantum communication device—you should be able to complete it, right?"
"I haven't done much research into Quantum mechanics, but with your help, it shouldn't be much of a problem."
Vill-V pondered for a moment and then indicated it wouldn't be a major issue, though a look of pity appeared on her face as she said, "However, isn't it a bit wrong of us to set Elysia up like this?"
"Uh? Vill-V, don't switch your personalities at will when we're researching serious business!"
As soon as Vill-V finished speaking, Mei turned her head and looked at this severe mental patient with exasperation, yet she still replied offhandedly, "What do you mean'set up'? Elysia is tough; I have reason to suspect she wouldn't die even if you threw her in front of Finality."
"Instead of worrying about her, you should worry that once she gets over there, she'll start having so much fun that she forgets the way back."
As Mei spoke, Mobius and Vill-V fell slightly silent. It seemed... likely... probably... definitely going to happen, wasn't it?
Then Mobius covered her face with one hand, her voice full of pain: "I really don't want to give that Illiterate remedial lessons anymore!"
"Why is it that she always pulls off these 'pro-gamer moves' that make my vision go dark?"
"The remedial lessons must continue."
Mei expressionlessly overruled Mobius and said, "Elysia is the only intelligent lifeform in the entire world born with Herrscher authority. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a goddess favored by destiny."
"Haven't you noticed? Every time Elysia grows even a little bit, her strength increases exponentially!"
A natural-born cheater like her should study hard and make progress every day!
Mei had no doubt that if Elysia possessed her level of knowledge and wisdom, ending the Honkai would be a simple matter.
In this regard, even the three of them—Mei, Mobius, and Vill-V—were far inferior.
Even though the three of them could perform miracles with the Herrscher authorities they had seized, they still seemed to pale in comparison to a 'cheater' like Elysia... because for the three of them, the volume of the authority they had seized was essentially fixed.
If they wanted to make that authority stronger, they had to fully analyze it and then redesign and edit it based on their own knowledge.
However, Elysia was different; the authority within her actually grew alongside her own growth!
...Penacony.
"Hermes, is this really going to work?"
By a pool, Herta watched this guy cast his line like an ordinary fisherman. He had been squatting there for several hours. Forget fish—the water in the pool was crystal clear, and she couldn't see so much as a single scale!
"Herta, stay calm. Watch closely and learn."
Hermes was noncommittal, but after so long without a bite, he was starting to have doubts. Was his casting posture not handsome enough? Or was the bait no good?
After a thought, he pulled out a thumb-sized Philosopher's Stone and hooked it onto the line. Just as he was about to cast it out, Herta reacted with lightning speed, lunging forward to grab the Philosopher's Stone intended as bait.
"Hermes, if you don't want it, you can just give it to me! I don't mind!"
"Let go, Herta! You can't catch a fish if you're unwilling to lose the bait. This is a necessary investment!"
Hermes's eye twitched as he looked at Herta, who was clutching the Philosopher's Stone with a fanatical expression. He was speechless.
"No! I won't let go!"
Herta nonchalantly unhooked the bait and put it into her pocket as if no one were watching. Seeing the man's unfriendly gaze, she snorted and said, "I see this Philosopher's Stone has been upgraded by several generations, hasn't it?"
"This tiny Philosopher's Stone is worth a whole month of my hard cultivation!"
"Since you have such good stuff, why didn't you think to give me a few pieces?"
This was a cosmic treasure capable of aiding the cultivation of Cosmic Truth. If thrown into the Little Garden, it could even cause Three-Digit God-Kings to launch a fierce struggle!
Hermes looked at this thick-skinned girl, feeling both annoyed and amused. "Herta, do you even hear yourself? The amount of Philosopher's Stones from my previous versions that you've fleeced from me is enough to create several Envoys just for fun!"
He took out another Philosopher's Stone, hooked it, and quickly cast the line.
However, Hermes didn't actually care.
His Infinite Cosmic Truth was complete. As long as it was something that could be refined using energy as a material, he could refine a thousand or so at any time—
Of course, the expenditure of time and energy was unavoidable.
If this thing were thrown into the Little Garden, it would be considered a Two-Digit level Gift. No matter how easy it was to refine, that was only relative; Hermes truly didn't mind a piece or two.
Paying no mind to Hermes's mockery, Herta turned with a smile to Ruan Mei's side. As if she hadn't heard a word, she picked up a piece of pastry made from her best friend's latest recipe and popped it into her mouth.
Plop!
With a crisp splashing sound, the hook and the new bait fell into the water.
At the same time, Hermes's complete Infinite, increasingly complete Quantum, and Boundary Cosmic Truths stirred slightly. The three distinct Cosmic Truths intertwined, forming an Ouroboros that bit its own tail, transforming the fishing rod in his hand into a conceptual product of [Fishing]...
