Chapter 48 The Shadow of Darkness
……
Black Seele chose to agree, because she had no other choice at the moment.
But agreement doesn't guarantee smooth progress. "Trust" is not just a word; so far, only Seele has met this condition—that is, Yun Fuyu trusts Seele, and Seele trusts Yun Fuyu.
Besides, what exactly is this so-called trust? Nobody knows. This is just a vague understanding that Yun Fuyu has grasped, not an absolute concept.
After clarifying this point, in order to increase Black Seele's "trust," Yun Fuyu even specifically mentioned that his fate was intertwined with Seele's. For Seele's sake, this should at least earn him some favor, right?
Then, to Theresa's dismay and bewilderment, Black Seele delivered a karate chop to the back of Yun Fuyu's head, helping him "fall asleep quickly."
Black Seele looked at Seele again, who quickly shook her head and waved her hands: "I don't need it! Seele can fall asleep by herself!"
Seele found a comfortable angle, her consciousness immediately detached, and she fell asleep with her head on her arm.
Black Seele sighed inwardly, thinking she must be crazy to believe such nonsense, and then went to sleep—sleeping with her head on Seele's lap, very nice~
Theresa watched them choose to sleep on the eve of the world's destruction, speechless and helpless, but she could only silently pray that it would really work.
……
The shallow water rippled, reflecting the myriad stars in the purple sky. Seele, bathed in the glow of the sunset, approached Yunfuyu.
Black Seele isn't here.
A matter of course.
They had only known each other for less than six hours, and Yun Fuyu had suddenly poured so much information into her. It was indeed too difficult to achieve "genuine trust."
"But why is it only Seele who can do it?"
The girl waded listlessly in the shallow water, her slender legs swaying in the water's reflection, a layer of holy light thoughtfully covering up what couldn't be seen.
Yun Fuyu looked up: "Then there's only one possibility left—Xier, you're special."
He speculated, "According to what you said before, the separation of the creation and death of the Herrscher of Death was caused by me. The day you and I first met, we were actually already bound by fate."
Seele seemed lost in thought. She recalled what the withered Seele had said: he had fallen to the "Cretaceous" planet along with the "Meteorite"...
Seele: "Is there any way to replicate this kind of 'fate'? We need facts to verify your conjecture."
Yun Fuyu: "Or there is another possibility: the 'trust' between you and me can be strengthened."
Seele blurted out, "Our fates are already intertwined, is there any stronger bond?"
Although their relationship has never been officially confirmed, they seem inseparable.
The words started to fall.
A pale purple light bloomed in the starry sky, like a dancer stirring up a pool of water in the heavens. Seele was reflected in the shallow water, and the shimmering aurora borealis, like a spirit of heaven and earth, gracefully circled around Seele, adorning the silent dream with a poetic and picturesque beauty.
Seele was very surprised: "This is..."
Her voice was quickly interrupted by a resonance between their souls, a crackling sound like electricity reverberating through her heart. Xi'er gazed deeply at Yun Fuyu, then closed her eyes and extended a hand to him.
The moment Yun Fuyu grasped her fingertips, the dream shattered, and all lingering regrets vanished.
……
“We’ve identified a suspicious target, but we simply can’t monitor its presence. I’ve given it a cool name, ‘Shadow of Darkness,’ what do you think?”
A sweet, childlike voice said this.
Then came Black Seele's slightly speechless voice: "...Fine, anyway, we don't know what that thing is, so the name doesn't matter."
A voice with a sweet, childlike tone: "How can you say it doesn't matter? It's a real thing, and it's caused such a terrible impact. Ugh, I'm speechless. How can there be so many things happening in the Sea of Quanta?"
Yun Fuyu slowly woke up and stared blankly at the two people chatting.
Black Seele was still Black Seele, but the other one wasn't Theresa's counterpart who had been there earlier; it was Bronya. The girl's gray curly hair was tinged with sky blue at the ends. She was wearing the armor of Truth Duck, sitting on the mechanical arm of Heavy Bunny, talking to Black Seele with her legs crossed, while stroking her hair and occasionally glancing at Seele next to Yun Fuyu.
Among the many worlds, Seele with power reaching the Herrscher level is a rare sight. The Seele before her now looks remarkably like the soft, cuddly little Seele Bronya first met, naturally making her somewhat concerned.
Seeing that Yun Fuyu had woken up, Bronya floated leisurely in front of him and complained, "At this crucial moment, you actually chose to solve the problem by sleeping? Have you been playing too many games?"
Yun Fuyu ignored her complaints and asked, "What is the Shadow of Darkness?"
Bronya: "That? The Shadow of Darkness is the final boss of the nineteenth season of Houmu Adventure, and its prototype is a world..."
Black Seele immediately interrupted her: "Stop!"
Then, turning to face Yun Fuyu, she said, “It’s what I told you before. I sensed something incredibly large in the Sea of Quanta, but it disappeared in an instant. I contacted the people in the Intrinsic World a long time ago, and their assistance proved that the giant shadow might be the source of the crisis. Sister… Bronya named it ‘Shadow of Darkness’.”
She added, "While you were sleeping, I didn't sense anything, so I just woke up. About twenty minutes have passed now, and the world bubble will be completely destroyed in just two hours."
Yun Fuyu quickly accepted this information and then said, "We've made some progress. Give me the Etheric Singularity to try."
Black Seele gave him a suspicious look, but still threw the Ethereal Singularity to him, saying, "This thing is very corrosive; you'd better be really sure you can handle it."
Yun Fuyu caught the Etheric Singularity and turned to look at Seele, who had been silent since waking up. The two exchanged a glance and understood what to do, each reaching out a hand to grasp the Etheric Singularity.
[First question: How did they enter the Sea of Quanta?]
This is a difficult question to answer, but it's highly likely due to the resonance between Seele's quantum power and the power of dreams. Furthermore, according to Black Seele, "Shadow of Darkness" is also a strong suspect.
[Second question: Seele sensed that the destruction of this world might be related to their world.]
Although it's almost impossible for the pre-civilization world to connect with the World Bubble, no one can be completely certain. Considering Black Seele's experience... the "unimaginably vast thing" she sensed might be the root of everything.
[Third question: Why can Yunfuyu sense the rules?]
The answer can only be a dream.
Therefore, in conclusion, dreams are most likely related to the shadows of darkness and the rules of the world.
So, putting everything else aside, having strengthened his "trust," "bond," or "vow" with Seele... whatever you call it, the connection between him and Seele is now exactly as they imagined—although they have never officially defined their relationship, they are inseparable.
Together, the two can directly modify the rules within the etheric singularity through the special power of dreams.
