Just then, as if sensing the impending conflict between them, the voice of the Q&A Space suddenly echoed in their ears.
[Notice: All acts of violence are prohibited within the Q&A Space, including but not limited to physical, mental, and verbal assault.]
[Violators, after one warning is ignored, will be permanently banished from the Q&A Space and will not be allowed to enter again.]
Hearing the voice of the Q&A Space, Theresa's mouth twitched. The little idea that had just formed in her mind instantly vanished like smoke.
Well, that's that. So fighting is forbidden here. It's a good thing I didn't rush to take care of Tesla and Einstein.
"Oh? Q&A Space?" Einstein and Tesla had also heard the System's cold, mechanical voice. They exchanged a look, and in each other's eyes, they saw a deep and profound interest.
For scientists, there was nothing more fascinating than the unknown.
"Ms. Theresa, I believe we can now sit down and have a proper talk, can't we?" Einstein said, brushing a lock of hair from her forehead and smiling at Theresa. "We were never truly enemies, were we? Don't forget, we had a rather successful collaboration in the past."
"Hmph, that was just a transaction," Theresa snorted. But she knew she was powerless against them in the Q&A Space. She had no choice but to give them a simple explanation of what this place was.
After listening to Theresa's account, both Tesla and Einstein couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.
Although they had already imagined the reality might be unexpected, they had never thought it would be this fantastical.
Predicting the future, exploring the past, and even receiving rewards.
Good heavens, if it weren't for Theresa's dead-serious expression as she explained, the two scientists would have thought she was deliberately messing with them.
No one understood the weight of predicting the future better than a scientist. In the field of science, any product related to time held value and knowledge that was beyond human imagination.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. That's all I'm going to say. When it's time to answer a question, you'll believe it for yourselves."
"Ms. Theresa, it's not that we don't believe you. It's just that this matter is somewhat beyond our common sense," Einstein said, holding up a single finger. "By the way, since you have already answered questions and seen visions of the future, I was wondering if you might be able to share them with us?"
"Hmph, in your dreams. That's our intelligence. Why would we show it to you?" Theresa refused flatly.
"My friend..."
[Question Thirteen: During the battle between Murata Himeko and the Herrscher of the Void, who was controlling the Hyperion and fired a shot at the Herrscher of the Void from behind using the Moonlight Throne?]
[A: Dr. Tesla]
[B: Dr. Einstein]
[C: Theresa]
[D: Bronya]
Before Einstein could finish her sentence, the mechanical voice echoed in her ears, forcing the words back down her throat.
"This time the options include Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein?" Raiden Mei said, somewhat surprised.
"A battle between Teacher Himeko and the Herrscher of the Void? It's just as we predicted. But since when did the Hyperion have a 'Moonlight Throne'? What is that?" Bronya asked, puzzled.
"Herrscher of the Void... Moonlight Throne..."
Einstein pressed a hand to her forehead, her voice somewhat low.
"Alright. Now I'm starting to believe what you said."
She had no choice but to believe it. The matter of the Moonlight Throne was known only to a few high-ranking members of Anti-Entropy. Furthermore, their security protocols for this technology were excellent; there was absolutely no way Schicksal could have known about it.
"Hey, is this question really about the future? Why does the Herrscher of the Void appear again? Didn't she die in Siberia long ago?" Tesla asked with her arms crossed, a look of confusion on her face.
Theresa's group exchanged glances, hesitating on whether to tell them the whole story.
If they didn't, the two would likely be able to guess the truth after seeing the future vision.
But if they did... it just felt wrong. After all, they were from Anti-Entropy, Schicksal's sworn enemy.
"Principal, Bronya believes we can tell them," Bronya suddenly spoke up.
All eyes turned to her, most of them filled with surprise, clearly not expecting Bronya to say such a thing.
"Bronya, why do you think so?" Theresa asked curiously. She trusted that with Bronya's intellect, she would never suggest something that would harm their own interests.
"It's simple. Everyone, don't forget whose successor Bronya will be in the future."
As soon as she said this, understanding dawned on Theresa and the others.
That's right. Bronya will become Welt's successor, the next Herrscher of Reason.
And Welt was the Sovereign of Anti-Entropy. At that time in the future, St. Freya Academy and Anti-Entropy would definitely not be enemies. On the contrary, it was highly likely that they would become partners, with Bronya as the special link between them.
"Mmm... alright, I suppose we can tell you. But you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else about this place. Not a single soul."
Although Theresa knew such a verbal agreement was of little use, it at least gave her some peace of mind.
Tesla and Einstein naturally had no objections and agreed readily.
And so, Theresa told them that Kiana was the Herrscher of the Void, as well as some details about Otto's plan.
"Holy crap! Otto, that old undying bastard, is as disgusting as ever! To think he'd try to control the power of a Herrscher, he's a complete madman! Does he have any idea of the consequences? If he makes one mistake, it could cause a massive crisis on par with what happened in Siberia!"
Tesla, with her explosive temper like a barrel of gunpowder, ignited almost instantly. Upon hearing about Otto's actions, she absolutely blew her top.
As witnesses who had participated in the Second Honkai War, no one understood the loss and pain that eruption had caused humanity better than they did.
Tens of millions of lives had been lost!
"Calm down, Dr. Tesla. These are all things that will happen in the future. At least for now, we still have a chance to change things. Of course, that's assuming this future is real."
Although she said this, Einstein had already come to believe Theresa's words in her heart.
It was impossible for Theresa and the students of St. Freya Academy to have fabricated such a shocking lie in such a short amount of time.
Furthermore, based on what they knew of Otto, it was not surprising at all that he would do something like this.
