Chapter 89: The Tower in the World Bubble
In a world bubble covered by ice and snow.
"Bunny, are you sure you sensed Seele's presence in this world bubble?"
Kirataka stepped on the thick ice and snow, moving forward steadily with the mecha floating behind him.
On the way forward, he was also confirming this information with Project Bunny.
After leaving the world bubble of the ancient battlefield, he followed the guidance of the project bunny and found this world bubble containing Seele's breath.
"Yes, Master Kirataka, although the aura is not strong, I do feel Seele's aura here."
The electronic female voice replied in a very affirmative tone.
Even if Seele is not here, there must be traces of her in this world bubble. It is worth investigating carefully. Maybe we can find some useful clues.
Since Project Bunny was so sure, Kirataka began to observe this world bubble carefully.
"Speaking of which, this is truly a desolate world..."
Kirataka looked at the white world in front of him.
Endless snow and wind covered every place in the world. At a glance, there was no second color.
If we rely on naked eye observation, I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything in this snowstorm.
Fortunately, inside this world bubble, his electromagnetic control ability can still function normally.
Kirataka released electromagnetic waves in all directions, and the terrain of this world bubble quickly took shape in his mind.
Compared to the ancient battlefield world bubble he had just visited, this one was obviously larger.
After passing the ordinary snowfield area, he soon noticed a special area.
——It was a tall tower, a pitch-black tower, with a completely opposite and eye-catching color from the flying snow floating around it, standing upright on the ground.
Through electromagnetic induction, Kirataka roughly grasped the shape of the tower.
After forming a preliminary impression of it in his mind, his expression became a little strange.
A land of cold winter, a black tower.
When these two elements were combined, a name naturally came to his mind.
——That is the Babylon Tower Laboratory of Schicksal.
This tall tower built on the ice and snow fields of Siberia was once the world's largest Honkai energy research facility outside the Schicksal headquarters and was highly anticipated by countless scientists.
This laboratory has indeed produced countless advanced achievements, the most versatile and practical of which are the "Artificial Stigmata" and the "Throne of the Gods Weapon System," which have significantly improved the combat effectiveness of the Valkyries of Schicksal against Honkai.
Therefore, the name of the Babylon Tower Laboratory, as the hero, is known to everyone within Schicksal.
But according to the public historical records of Schicksal, this prestigious laboratory was destroyed as early as the beginning of the 20th century, destroyed in the second eruption that devastated all of Siberia.
No one knows who the Second Herrscher is, where she came from, and why she was born. The only thing recorded in history is that she destroyed an important research facility of Schicksal.
On the surface, the Tower of Babylon was explained to the outside world by the Bishop of Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse, as a special life form research institute of Schicksal. It was a life-saving temple that researched, produced, and cheaply provided anti-Honkai energy serum reagents for countless ordinary people in the world who were suffering from various symptoms of Honkai energy infection due to the existence of Honkai energy.
But secretly, since its construction, the Tower of Babylon has always been an unknown hell used to detain various children who had lost their loved ones and homeland due to disasters such as Honkai energy explosions, using them as raw materials for human experimentation research on Honkai energy.
All these conspiracies and secrets have been buried in that battle, and no one knows about them anymore.
Kirataka recalled some of the details he knew and thought:
So, could it be that this bubble world is... a fragment of time that eruption?
This... is Siberia in the world bubble?
While thinking, he quickened his pace and headed towards the tower, wanting to find out the composition of this world bubble.
If Seele is indeed in this world bubble or has stayed here before, the tower is the best target to find clues about her.
By the way, the reason why this poor little girl ended up in the Quantum Sea was because of Cocolia's human experiments. Unexpectedly, she drifted to another laboratory in the Quantum Sea.
Should I say it's bad luck or just worse luck...
Soon, Kirataka crossed the snow and arrived near his destination.
What came into his sight was indeed a tall tower as black as ink.
Its general shape was like a nail casually thrown onto the white snowfield, and it had forcibly carved out a territory of its own on this eternal white frozen soil.
And that tower was like a piece of iron that had been neatly cut into a hexagonal shape. The towering central structure was as sharp as a giant lance, pointing straight to the sky as if silently showing the tower of Babylon's absolutely unique existence in this vast snowfield.
——The power that is unique to human beings.
The Tower of Babylon, as its name suggests, is the embodiment of Schicksal's arrogance.
Just as in the myth, where humans tried to build a giant tower that reached the sky but ultimately brought division and turmoil to humanity itself, the end of this tower was also quite tragic.
A total of 332 researchers in the tower died at the beginning of the second Honkai outbreak.
"It really is the Tower of Babylon..."
Only after seeing its true face did Kirataka confirm that this world bubble was indeed the reflection of the Tower of Babylon from the original world, just as he had expected.
Rather than describing this place as a laboratory that demonstrates wisdom and technology, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a bloody tombstone standing in the snow.
How many souls who were extremely desperate and in pain in their lifetime have been buried under this towering tower?
"Master Kirataka, I can feel Seele's aura getting stronger; she must be in there!"
While Kirataka was sighing, Project Bunny behind him was already speaking impatiently, wishing to rush into the tower to find Seele the next second.
"Well, let's go in and take a look at the situation first."
Kirataka nodded and brought Project Bunny straight to the entrance of the giant tower.
he still doesn't know what the interior of this tower is like he really needs to go in and take a closer look.
If it was a situation similar to the second eruption of the original world, then he... might meet a Herrscher here, of course, in the world bubble version.
The entrance to the Tower of Babylon was an alloy door that looked quite heavy at first glance, with its name written in various languages on the side of the door.
Through mechanical sensing, Kirataka could feel that on this seemingly ordinary black barrier, there were already a large number of hidden surveillance cameras watching him, the uninvited guest, from all angles.
This also shows that there are probably living people active inside this laboratory.
"Master Kirataka, how do we get in?"
Project Bunny asked honestly.
This gate looks quite thick. Even with its firepower, it would probably take several rounds at full power to blast it open.
"How do we get in? Of course..."
Kirataka chuckled as he spoke, projecting a soulium coin in his hand.
Under electromagnetic acceleration, the coin kept flipping.
Then he aimed the coin at the heavy door and fired it out with ease.
With a loud bang and the dissipation of thick smoke, the door leading to the interior of the Tower of Babylon opened to him and the little bunny.
Of course, along with it, there were also extremely shrill alarm sounds and the noises of mechas starting to move.
Kirataka walked in leisurely.
——'If there is no road, then of course, we'll just blast one out!'
