Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

Chapter 45 Etheric Singularity

……

Our fates are intertwined.

In the air, both Black Seele and Seele were severely injured, and the power backfired on their bodies. If Seele hadn't been the Herrscher of Death with strong vitality, and if Yun Fuyu hadn't shared some of the pressure with her, this excessive backlash might have even caused them to perish!

The two helped each other land on the tower. Theresa was frantically checking Yun Fuyu's vital signs. Xi'er and Yun Fuyu exchanged a glance, instantly understanding what had happened, and their faces turned grim.

Seele approached Yun Fuyu, placed her hand on his chest, and said while treating him, "I'm sorry, it's Seele who has dragged you into this."

Yun Fuyu shook her head: "Let's not talk about that. What happened?"

Seele: "I don't know either... but maybe the world has rejected me? Or maybe..."

She paused, but didn't voice her guess.

It is also possible that a more powerful external force prevented them from acting.

But can two Seeles together really bring about the end and stop them? That's absurd.

Black Seele's face was gloomy: "The World Bubble has its own set rules that outsiders are not allowed to interfere with. We were too hasty."

Seeing that everyone else was looking at her with confusion, Black Seele further explained, "There are rules in the world bubbles of the Quanta Sea, and these rules are written into the Ethereal Singularity. For example, in a world bubble I once experienced, the 'Tower Sages' of the two worlds became the bridge connecting the worlds, and the two worlds were also interdependent, which caused me and another Seele to be passively made Tower Sages, trapped in that twin world and unable to meet. It took a lot of things to get out of it."

"I'm certain that the backlash we just experienced came from the obstruction of the world's rules! It was exactly the same as back then!"

Hei Xier looked at Theresa and emphasized, "This world may be destined to be destroyed in this way. This is something engraved in the rules, and we have no right to interfere."

Theresa's skin was already fair, but now it was even paler, almost bloodless. Her voice trembled: "So...we're destined to die?"

As the Archbishop of Schicksal and one of the pillars of this world, Theresa knows that her world is a bubble, but that doesn't stop its inhabitants from depending on it. Besides, her family and friends are here, sharing their adventures... For them, this world is the most special world, without exception.

Having spent so much time navigating the Sea of ​​Quanta, Black Seele naturally understood this. Looking at Theresa's stunned expression, a sudden fierce resolve arose within her: "Even so, I refuse to accept this! I'm going to find the Ethereal Singularity; I want to see for myself how this damn rule is written!"

Seele had finally finished treating Yun Fuyu and came to Black Seele: "Please wait a moment. Let me treat you before we set off, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Black Seele did not refuse.

Seele grasped her wrist, and the Herrscher of Death's creative power surged into her body. Seele said, "Let me and Yun Fuyu help you. I also want to know what hurt us."

Black Seele nodded: "Your strength is no weaker than mine, that's fine, but forget about that guy. He can't adapt to the power of the Quanta Sea, and his own strength isn't that great either, so he'd be better off staying here."

Hei Xier's words were so blunt. Yun Fuyu wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldn't, because he was really much weaker than Xier...

Seele glanced back at him, chuckled softly, and shook her head: "I'm afraid that won't work. The relationship between him and me is very special (we are bound by fate, absolutely no other meaning!). Without him by my side, there are many ways I can't unleash my power."

Black Seele's expression grew increasingly strange—she wondered if Seele meant something like, "With Mei around, it's like having the power of a hundred people."

Damn it, Seele from this unknown world, even if you haven't fallen for your other self, you should at least like your older sister (Bronya), right? Why would you fall for a... guy like this?

Black Seele had to exert a lot of effort to hold back her grumbling. "Not interfering with the development of other worlds" was a consensus among people like her who had the ability to travel between worlds.

Only then did Theresa's complexion return to normal slightly, and she became increasingly calm.

Following what Black Seele had said before, she spoke up, "If you want to find the Ethereal Singularity, I can help you."

The etheric singularity is the core of the world bubble, and it cannot be lost, let alone fall into the hands of people from other worlds. But now the world is on the verge of collapse, and she has no more than three hours left to use it, so she has given up and decided to go all out.

Theresa: "We have never tried to capture the ether singularity, but we have studied it. As far as I know, the ether singularity exists in the subspace of the world bubble, its external form is indeterminate, and it could appear anywhere in the world. The primary issue is to observe it and remove it from its quantum state."

Black Seele: "I'll take care of this."

She herself is a powerful observer with the ability to travel the world and navigate the quantum ocean, so this little thing is no challenge for her.

Theresa: "Secondly, with nearly two-thirds of the world already destroyed, we cannot guarantee that we won't be immediately drawn into the outside world once the etheric singularity appears. If that happens, the world will collapse in an instant."

Black Seele: "This is indeed a tricky situation... However, if I team up with this Seele, we should be able to catch it in time."

Theresa: "Yes, I hope you can really do it. In addition, I have gathered the surviving Valkyries together, they may be able to help you as well."

Finally, Theresa made a phone call, and Yun Fuyu vaguely heard the voice on the other end say, "...Dr. Stan, Dr. Tesla has already..."

Theresa dialed another number and began issuing orders: "Changguang, I will continue to maintain the stability of Arcana (the Tower). Your new task is to assist the people around me in finding the etheric singularity of our world."

Ms. Changguang can now see Theresa's situation on the camera. She said, "Okay, okay, you're going to give me new work again... By the way, the two cute girls next to you look familiar."

Theresa sighed softly, "Alright, stop looking so ignorant. Aren't similar flowers quite normal?"

Black Seele thought it was great. Look, she's seen at least a hundred different adorable Seeles in the Sea of ​​Quanta, and she's never even considered taking them all home as pets! If she actually did, her silly Seele would definitely be angry! (You actually thought about it!)

Yun Fuyu couldn't help but whisper, "Does this world also have Xi'er?"

Both Black Seele and Seele pricked up their ears.

Theresa paused, her face pale: "She has already sacrificed herself."

“…I’m sorry,” Yun Fuyu said.

Black Seele's face darkened: "Let's go, let's set off now!"
