No one knows how much time passed before Bronya slowly regained consciousness.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment before her, Bronya didn't know what to do for a moment. Suddenly, accompanied by a spatial tremor, Bronya discovered that Einstein had appeared in front of her.
"Dr. Einstein, can you hear Bronya speaking?"
However, Bronya's question did not receive a response from Einstein.
At this time, Einstein was speaking with a brown-haired man wearing glasses.

[In the real world.]
When Walter Yang saw this scene, he was completely stunned. At this moment, he could no longer care about the subtle gazes coming from outside the office, his mind was full of only one thought.
'What? I'm the leader of Anti-Entropy? For real?'
Thinking back to the Anti-Entropy lab in the real world, their leader should be a man named Walter Joyce.
Although the two share the same first name, Walter Yang had absolutely no connection with that famous Anti-Entropy leader.
But even so, Walter Yang's intuition still told him that, there must be some hidden secret in all this.
———
[Back to the video.]
From their conversation, it was learned that this man was indeed Walter Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy, and they were conducting an experiment related to the Throne of Moonlight.
However, due to certain reasons, Einstein's experiment failed, and she was sucked into the temporal fissure of the Sea of Quanta.
After briefly recording the situation, Einstein began to contact Walter Yang, who had also been pulled into the Sea of Quanta with her.
But she discovered that he was currently talking with an unknown being, and from the content of their conversation, it seemed like a conflict had occurred.
Because of this, Einstein decided to head to Walter Yang's coordinates to investigate.
When she arrived at the location where Walter Yang was, Einstein was just about to call out, but then discovered that not far from him was a gigantic snake, large enough to cover the sky and block out the sun.
———
In the real world, when viewers saw this giant snake, they all said their PTSD was triggered.
[Sob sob, whenever I see a giant snake, I think of Van.]
[Van, I miss you!]
[But judging by the color of this snake, it doesn't look like the same one that swallowed Van?]
[Who cares if it's the same one or not, anyway, it's all the World Serpent's doing.]
———
[Back to the video.]
"What... what is that?!"
The appearance of the giant snake greatly shocked Einstein. She had never seen a being like this before.
"No matter whether you accept it or not, I shall return... to judge... and to save you all." Disjointed words spilled out of the giant snake's mouth.
"Yang!"
Just as Einstein tried to approach, Walter Yang behind her urgently told her to leave immediately.
"Ain, don't go near, it's not something you can handle!"
Seemingly understanding the firm resolve in Walter Yang's tone, Einstein quickly said, "Yang! Now's not the time for this, the equipment is already calibrated, let me take you away!"
"This is a mistake I made, so I must be the one to bear it," Walter Yang said with a solemn expression. "Ain, no matter what, don't look back."
After speaking, Walter Yang activated the weapon in his hand.
"Star of Eden, zero output level, release!"
Accompanied by the appearance of a huge simulated black hole, the surrounding environment began to grow extremely unstable.
After a moment of earth-shaking turbulence, the experimental recording officially ended.
Immediately after, Bronya woke up from her connected state.
At the same time, the Hyperion's systems returned to normal.
After experiencing such chaos, everyone present wore confused expressions.
The World Serpent caused such a huge commotion, and it ended just like that?
The meticulous Einstein said, "To prevent unknown damage from occurring, I suggest temporarily sealing off Hyperion's core system and Anti-Entropy's database."
At this time, Bronya suddenly spoke, "What Gray Snake is looking for should be the data records from the Anti-Entropy experiment in the Sea of Quanta one year ago..."
Hearing Bronya's words, Einstein froze for a moment. "Bronya? How do you know this?"
"Just now, when Bronya was stopping Gray Snake in the virtual data space, she saw everything. So... one year ago, what exactly did the Anti-Entropy research in the Sea of Quanta discover?"
"I understand. I will tell you everything that happened one year ago. But right now, what's most important is that we need to decide our next step..."
A difficult dilemma now lay before St. Freya Academy and the Anti-Entropy members.
If they went to Abyss City to support Cocolia, it would mean giving up the search for Kiana.
But if they chose to search for Kiana, then the Anti-Entropy stronghold in Abyss City would be taken, and the World Serpent's intentions would also remain unknown.
Of course, Einstein also suggested splitting into two teams, but this option had its own flaw. It would be easy for them to be defeated one by one.
Thinking this through, everyone decided to vote to determine their next move.
In the end, Einstein and Theresa chose to personally head to Sky City to find Kiana, while Himeko, Tesla, Bronya, and Raiden Mei decided to split up and act.
"4 to 2. Plan B wins."
"Looks like we'll need to act in groups."
As if she had expected this outcome, Einstein quickly assigned everyone into teams.
Einstein, Theresa, and Bronya would head to Abyss City to join up with the mother fox, Cocolia.
Meanwhile, Tesla and Raiden Mei would board the Helios to return to Anti-Entropy HQ to repair the humanoid Hime, then head to Sky City to find Kiana.
However, just as everyone was preparing to depart, Theresa walked up to Himeko.
"Himeko, don't worry. As soon as there's any news about Van, I'll immediately update you."
"Thank you, Theresa. Though I care a lot about that guy's whereabouts, I still know what's more important."
Himeko looked at the fragments of the Divine Blade retrieved by the Valkyrie squad.
"You all can go to Abyss City with peace of mind. Leave the matters on this side to me."
"Himeko, you..."
Theresa's words were interrupted by Himeko.
"Theresa, Van and I are old comrades. I know what he's capable of. That's exactly why I don't believe he'd die so easily..."
Saying this, although a smile was on Himeko's face, there was a glint of crystal at the corner of her eye.
"Maybe that guy is just hiding somewhere drinking~"
