In fact, the true origins of the Arlene sisters are no longer verifiable. According to the testimonies provided by Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein from that suspicious world bubble, the sisters are still the adopted daughters of Cocolia in a certain world bubble. However, because their ability to cause trouble is too exaggerated, Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein could not help but doubt whether the sisters were actually born from the world bubble.
From the first time I saw the sisters, they were either causing trouble or on their way to causing trouble, and the incidents they caused were all very strange and had a huge impact on the area...
For example, occupying the core of a certain world bubble and opening its Eye of the Abyss, the gaps connecting different time and space ran around in the quantum sea. The characters in world A were inexplicably thrown into world B, and the boss of world B inexplicably broke into world A. This back and forth messed up the order and social structure of countless world bubbles...
For example, if you accidentally break into the bottom of the quantum sea and touch a strange existence, and then for some unknown reason, that strange existence interferes with the rules of the quantum sea, causing all the world bubbles to evolve uncontrollably to a higher dimension... Of course, the abilities of the world bubbles are all limited, so they can't really transform into a higher-dimensional world. They will all turn into big fireworks due to insufficient evolutionary energy, and with a "bang", everyone will be finished...
——Now that I think about it, the thing that this pair of sisters with great destructive power accidentally touched was probably the so-called "Su" in the mouths of the people in the Eigenworld. I don't know what they did to make "Su" interfere with the rules of the world bubbles it controlled... If the store manager calculated correctly, after the Arlene sisters broke into the central control area that time, before Tesla forcibly stopped the uncontrollable evolution of those world bubbles to higher dimensions, "Su" probably lost 60% of its accumulated power.
...Well, probably because of the embarrassing situation caused by the Arlene sisters, the 'Suo' that seemed extremely dangerous in the original world was just an 'innocent victim, it would be best if we could help it replenish some energy afterwards' in the records of the two doctors...
Chapter 4: Vita: The Eye of Divine Wisdom... My Eye of Divine Wisdom... (k)
Kiana and Mei Raiden were unaware of the various "great achievements" that the Arlene sisters had made, but after seeing the melancholy expression of the store manager, these two Valkyries, whose worldviews had been tormented since they came to this cafe, instinctively realized that the sisters tied to the ground were by no means easy to deal with.
They all wisely chose to shut their mouths, looked at each other in silence, sighed, then turned around and walked towards the stairs to the second floor with a tired look, like zombies with their heads drooped.
"What's wrong with them?" Looking at the tired looks of Kiana and Raiden Mei, Guanxing couldn't help but ask in the manager's ear.
Although he was reluctant to have more opponents in his heart, after all, Kiana and Raiden Mei were recruited by the manager himself as temporary employees in his own cafe. Guanxing, who once served as the Sage King, was not so petty as to watch the other party's mental state fall to the bottom and do nothing about it.
"I don't know." The store manager glanced at Kiana and Raiden Mei's heavy backs, which seemed to be filled with lead, and shook his head frankly, "Maybe they didn't sleep well for two days in a row? So they are too tired?"
"Does your cafe torture its employees so much..." Delta raised his eyebrows and said in a mysterious tone.
"What nonsense are you talking about? They just didn't sort out their feelings." The store manager shrugged and yawned. "If I have to say... I haven't been able to sleep for a few hours in the past two days, so I'm the one who didn't sleep well, right?"
"...What did you do so late at night?" Delta asked subconsciously, and then immediately raised his hand, "Okay, don't tell me, I can probably guess."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall gradually calmed down, Rita, who woke up the earliest in the entire cafe, glanced at the accident scene that was still floating not far from the door and shook her head helplessly.
"Mr. Manager, Rita will go and continue preparing today's breakfast."
"Oh, please."
"Let me help too." Brownie spread his hands in boredom, followed Rita's back and walked briskly into the curtain behind the bar.
"Please save a bottle of vodka for me." Delta expressed his request to the two people who were walking towards the kitchen without any hesitation.
"Why is she drinking vodka so early in the morning at such a young age..." The store manager rolled his eyes and shouted towards the kitchen, "Ignore her. Just give this guy a glass of skim milk."
"Protest! I'm an adult!" Delta refused to accept.
"Protests are useless. This cafe doesn't care about your mental age. If you want to drink, you'd better wait until you're taller."
Delta was speechless for a while, staring at the store manager's face with strange eyes. No matter where he looked, he would definitely be mistaken for a minor. He said speechlessly: "How come you can even hit yourself with this AOE?"
"Because I have good habits. I neither smoke nor drink." The store manager responded with confidence, pretending to be indifferent.
“Can minors open a cafe?”
"In other worlds, there are many people who travel around the world at the age of ten. What's wrong with me opening a cafe?"
"So what's wrong with me drinking?"
"We don't serve alcohol to minors. Besides, I don't want to be assassinated by you for no reason because I provided you with vodka."
"?" A big question mark appeared on Delta's head. She subconsciously turned her head and looked behind her. Then, when she saw the scene in front of her eyes, her face was immediately filled with black lines. She saw that her tail had secretly taken out her greatsword at some point, and it was wrapped around the hilt of the greatsword like a snake. The sword's blade was high in the air, and the jagged pink blade was pointed at Delta's head and then at the store manager's head, looking eager to try...
"Put down your sword! You traitor!"
Delta pounced on his tail using his hands and feet, but the tail dodged Delta's attack with a swish and an incredibly light gesture. Then the man and the tail ran around in the hall like a cat chasing its own tail.
Seeing Delta being played around by his own tail, the store manager couldn't help but shook his head. He squatted down and lifted up the trapped Arlene sisters one by one like little chickens, then turned around and said, "Misterlin, you are here, right?"
Under a soft halo of light, Misterine's body flew out lightly from a space door.
"What can I do for you?"
The store manager dragged the shaking Arlene sisters to Misterlin's eyes, then pointed to the door and said, "Did you see the two ships colliding outside? This pair of troublemakers and the little girl chasing her tail at the door are in trouble, and they just happen to be able to play mahjong with you... Bah! No, I mean, I want you to take them to the waters of the Quantum Sea outside, keep a close eye on the three of them, and don't let them run away before they finish their work. Can you do it?"
"They are... the Arlene sisters from the orphanage?" Mistellin was surprised for a moment, then showed a meaningful expression, "I understand, but, what kind of reward can I get for helping the store manager monitor them?"
“…If you don’t want to help, I’ll find someone else.” The manager walked into the kitchen without looking back.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop it!" Mistierine quickly fell from mid-air and grabbed the manager's collar.
Seeing the store manager's stubborn attitude, Mistellin couldn't help but cast a resentful look at his back: "I really can't do anything about you. It seems that I am easily controlled by you..."
After complaining for a while, a gentle and calm smile appeared on Mistrylin's face again. That motherly smile, full of love and tenderness, calmed down Sister Arlene, who was still trembling.
"Don't worry, I have some experience in dealing with children, and I know very well how to deal with children who have caused trouble." Mistrylin said with a smile, "Just leave them to me with confidence."
"..."
For some reason, after seeing Misterine's calm smile, the store manager suddenly had a feeling that he had entrusted his work to the wrong person.
...I don't know what these three naughty kids who are always thinking about making trouble will do to their adult when they are together.
Forget it...
The store manager sighed and shook his head. If they wanted to do something, let them do it in the Quantum Sea by themselves.
Rather than letting these three troublesome kids and adults stay in his shop to mess with him and his cafe, he would rather release them into the Quantum Sea to mess with others.
Anyway, in a place like the Quantum Sea, the only ones who could be harmed by these three people are probably the quantum collapse beasts. It should be okay for them to torment them, the store manager comforted himself deep in his heart.
...the quantum sea at the same moment.
In a lifeless and distorted space, a figure with drooping arms and a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes was wandering quietly on a shattered platform.
It was a slim woman with blue hair and red eyes. One leg wrapped in a garter stocking revealed a slender and plump arc in the twisted and disordered space of the quantum sea. The other long leg was wrapped in a pair of slim-fitting trousers, the edge of the trouser legs slightly flared at the ankles.
"No... not here... not there..."
The figure with a dull breath was searching everywhere on the cracked platform, and his tone was full of obvious despair and unwillingness, and it sounded like he was about to cry.
“That’s too much… Eye of Divine Wisdom… My Eye of Divine Wisdom… It really didn’t leave even a trace of ash behind…”
Obviously, the woman rummaging around here is Vita, the powerful BOSS who faced Seele who had obtained the power of the Herrscher at the time point when the Original World crossed the end.
However, at this moment, this shy woman, who had a similar facial and features to Ying Jie, whose name was Tianhui, had completely lost the sharpness and composure she had when facing Xier, and was completely immersed in a gloomy and lost mood.
Vita wanted to cry.
In fact, if it weren't for the two great forces remaining in the air around her that were constantly oppressing her will and making her always in a state of alert as if she would be killed at any second, she would probably have shed big tears.
She is the avatar created by 'Su' and has been the agent who has been executing the other party's will for thousands of years. Logically speaking, with her identity and strength, as long as she does not approach the intrinsic world controlled by 'Cocoon', she should not encounter any obstacles even if she walks sideways in this quantum sea.
However, during these few years, not only her as the agent, but even her original body - the 'Su' who no longer looked like a human - suffered a huge Waterloo in these few short years.
In fact, because their planet was once completely destroyed by the 'Abyss', even though they had acquired powers that could be regarded as divine in the eyes of ordinary people, Vita and "Sa" still lived on thin ice over the years. In order to spread their roots throughout the quantum ocean without being detected by the "cocoon" occupying the earth, Vita never revealed the slightest flaw in anyone's eyes when she was acting on behalf of "Sa"'s will.
In most of the world bubbles that fell into their clutches, until their energy was completely drained and they were on the verge of destruction, the residents inside still sincerely regarded Vita, the outsider, as "one of their own" who could be trusted.
While possessing power almost like that of a god, her extremely cautious style of doing things can be said to have made Vita invincible in the first few thousand years since her birth. With the help of Vita, "Su" also accumulated a huge amount of power in the quantum sea.
But just a few years ago, this silent accumulation was suddenly broken by an external force in an extremely brutal way.
If you want to survive in the Quantum Sea, you must follow the rules of the Quantum Sea. Even if you have accumulated god-like power, "Su" cannot escape this theorem. Therefore, while frantically absorbing power from the Quantum Sea, "Su" is inevitably contaminated by the color of the Quantum Sea. Not only does its body become different from that of humans, but even its will and way of thinking have gradually become something that has nothing to do with the word "human".
Vita doesn't care about "Sa"'s situation, or rather, most of the time, Vita's attitude towards "Sa" can only be described as "fear". She is "Sa"'s incarnation, and the power she possesses has no possibility of surpassing "Sa". "Sa"'s will can be said to be absolute to her.
But because of this, no matter how much she hated this "original body", Vita had to admit that her "original body" should not be able to be threatened in any way, at least in this quantum sea.
But just as she was thinking this, the troublemakers who had entered the "main body" ruthlessly slapped them hard based on her understanding that "Sa" was equivalent to "God".
To this day, Vita still can't figure out what the sisters did to her original body. She only knows that after suffering that severe blow, not only was most of the power of her "original body" taken away, but even her "clone" was implicated, and thus completely lost her absolute control over the world bubble.
This big blow made Vita and Suo dizzy, but before they could react, the second big blow mercilessly hit them in the face again.
——The rules of the quantum sea have been completely reshaped.
Vita and Suo were dumbfounded at that time... No, because they had lost the human way of thinking, Suo at that time probably had lost the emotion of being "dumbfounded", which is an emotion that only humans can have. But no matter what, Vita was completely dumbfounded.
What does it mean that the rules of the quantum sea have been reshaped? It means that they, who were originally parasitic in the quantum sea, were also "reshaped" by the power that reshaped the rules of the quantum sea. In layman's terms, at the moment when the rules of the quantum sea were reshaped, Vita and Suo were completely controlled by that power and could not escape. If they wanted to draw power from the world bubble, they had to get the other party's consent... In a sense, from that moment on, the relationship between "Suo" and the existence that reshaped the quantum sea completely became the relationship between "Vita" and "Suo".
In other words...completely becoming "a part" of the other person.
...Or you could say it's R○Q, and it's the kind that's always on call.
Chapter 4 Please Keep Your Distance When Watching a Show (K)
Knowledge changes human thinking, and so does information. The more a person knows and the more he controls, the more his way of thinking will inevitably deviate in an inhuman... or "mature" direction.
In order to avoid going down an inhuman path, even after obtaining all the authority over the Quantum Sea, the store manager did not really try to control every inch of the Quantum Sea.
In the eyes of the store manager, the Quantum Sea is like a personal computer that he can use at any time. He can change the settings and programs of the computer at will, and even reorganize the Quantum Sea at the hardware level.
The "Su" entrenched in the quantum sea is like a deeply hidden binding program to the store manager.
Of course, the store manager can open the task manager of this computer at any time to force end the "Su" process, and find its body according to its location and throw it into the shredder completely. However, this bundled program does not cause any lag on this personal computer called Quantum Sea, there will not be any pop-up windows, and even the background icons are well hidden. As a user, the store manager, even if he sees "Su" in the task manager, he will only think that it is some kind of "system process" native to Quantum Sea.
When the computer is running normally, it is better not to touch things like system processes if possible.
Therefore, although both Vita and "Su" had already established themselves as the store manager's lambs to be slaughtered, due to the double coincidence of "Su"'s caution and the store manager's failure to thoroughly try to understand "Su", neither Vita's "real body" had ever really faced the existence that rewrote the rules of the sea, and of course it was impossible for her to have that kind of relationship with the store manager.
The so-called "R○Q on call" is just a relatively easy-to-understand way of saying it, using an objective perspective to describe the bad situation that Vita and the so-called "Sa" are in.
Deep down, if R○Q really wanted her to become someone else, Vita herself wouldn't mind it.
After all, before she was indirectly controlled by the existence that modified the rules of the Quantum Sea, her position was actually no different from R○Q's.
In other words, compared to R○Q, she has to work for the "main body" for free every day, without even a moment of rest, and has been enslaved for thousands of years, which makes her even more miserable.
However, Vita did not believe that the mysterious being who controlled the quantum sea would really stop at turning her into R○Q.
Therefore, even though "Su" had been reduced to nothing but ashes under the double attack of "that existence" at the singularity of the Quantum Sea and "the God of the Earth" in the real world, Vita still did not dare to appear in front of "that existence" at all, but made up her mind to escape from the Quantum Sea as soon as possible.
However, it is impossible for her to escape from the Quantum Sea by herself.
This is not because Vita's power is not enough to leave the Quantum Sea, but because... after "Su" disappeared, she, a hard-working worker who had been working hard for "Su", replaced "Su"'s original position seamlessly because she was a copy of "Su".
The huge roots extended by "Sa" are still quietly lingering at the bottom of the quantum sea. After losing control of the original body, the owners of those extended roots are naturally replaced by her "Sa" clone.
Logically speaking, Vita, who had been secretly planning... and even implementing the plan of "backstabbing her own 'original body'", should be happy about this sudden acquisition of such a huge legacy left by "Sa".
But Vita didn't feel happy at all.
On the contrary, she was so worried that she was about to cry.
Because damn... these roots entrenched at the bottom of the Quantum Sea, after being adopted by her, also became the shackles that nailed her to the Quantum Sea.
Even if she briefly left the Quantum Sea and returned to the real world, Vita would fall into the same quantized state as Seer in the past because of the existence of these roots, and be forcibly dragged back into the Quantum Sea.
What made Vita even more crazy was that... although in name, these ghost things left behind by "Su" became her things, but... she could not control them as freely as "Su".
Originally, "Su" was able to control these root clusters that were almost as large as an asteroid because she possessed the "Eyes of Divine Wisdom" that could survey everything. Even with the "Eyes of Divine Wisdom", "Su" was still controlling these roots, and was deprived of herself little by little in the process of drawing power from various world bubbles.
It is certainly impossible for Vita, a mere "clone", to completely take over the roots left by "Sa" after losing the "Eye of Divine Wisdom".
She was like Xiao Deng who had just taken gold coins from Lao Deng. As a result, before the gold coins from Lao Deng could even warm up, the debt collectors who owed Lao Deng a huge amount of foreign debt came to her door. But just when she wanted to use Lao Deng's inheritance to repay the foreign debts, she was madly discovered that... the key to the vault left by Lao Deng was gone. So she could only look at the safe that weighed a thousand pounds with tears streaming down her face, and watch her body being dragged away by the debt collectors...
It can be said that she didn't get any benefits at all, but all the disadvantages fell on her head without any damage.
What should she do now? Vita was so worried after searching for the "Eye of Heavenly Wisdom" on the grave of "Sa" for a long time. Should she continue to be a ash collector? No! She just got out of the sea of suffering of "Sa"! She still has a lot of life to experience! Why did this freedom that was within reach slip away inexplicably? !
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have let that guy "Su" continue to jump around in the quantum sea.
No, you can't sit still.
After calming down for a while, Vita finally accepted that she might not be able to escape from the quantum ocean in this lifetime. She slapped her eyes, and a dazzling light suddenly covered her tall and voluptuous body. When the light faded, the noble and astringent eye-catching dress had disappeared, replaced by a loose and ordinary white robe. The long hair that originally hung to her voluptuous thighs was suddenly shortened to just shoulder length.
With the change of hairstyle and clothing, Vita's temperament has undergone a drastic change. If she was a noble and mysterious "agent" just now, then at this moment, she has returned to the harmless state she was in the Holy City of Salt and Snow.
Very good! She rubbed her face, letting it show a bright smile that could win the favor of others in seconds, and then nodded confidently.
As long as I don't show up and don't cause trouble, then even the existence that modified the rules of the Quantum Sea will never be able to pull her out of this vast world bubble!
...The next step is to find a way to escape from the quantum sea while staying alive.
Although the hope is very slim, Vita is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years after all. The last thing she lacks is time. As long as she can find a way to get rid of those damn "roots" while traveling around the worlds, she can forcibly take back her freedom from the hands that control her existence!
Let me see, the first stop is...
Vita looked around at the scene, stroked her chin, and quietly searched for a bubble of the world where she could hide.
But at this moment, the hand that was touching her chin suddenly stopped.
...A... no, two dark shadows appeared under her feet without any warning, and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"..."
Vita's scalp immediately went numb. She raised her head, stared at the two approaching ships with her pupils shrinking, and jumped up on the spot without hesitation!
