After the third question ended, the fourth question also appeared.
[4. At the end of the last era, in order to continue civilization and defeat the Honkai, the Previous Era formulated several projects.]
[Which of the following options is the most cruel?]
[A. Project Ember]
[B. Project Velaka]
[C. Project Ark]
[D. Project Stigma]
"Previous Era..."
Seeing this term, Kiana and the others were confused. How could they know anything about the Previous Era?
Theresa did know a little.
After all, Schicksal often went to explore the ruins of the Previous Era, and she had visited those places out of curiosity.
However, her understanding of that era was probably limited to the fact that it had advanced technology and was eventually destroyed by the Honkai… and that was about it.
"As for the Previous Era, of course, you should ask Jingwei about this kind of thing!"
When the little ancestor saw that the topic involved the Previous Era, she immediately perked up.
She floated beside Fu Hua, her face full of pride.
"My immortal is someone who survived the Previous Era!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes to Fu Hua.
Their impression of Fu Hua was that she was a Shenzhou immortal who had lived a very long time, but they didn't expect her to have this identity.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
After all, based on her answer to the earlier question, Fu Hua's age had been revealed to be over 50,000.
She was definitely a prehistoric antique.
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Fu Hua felt her scalp tingle.
She spread her hands and said with some regret.
"Although I did survive the Previous Era, I've almost forgotten everything about it."
Hearing this, those who had just found a glimmer of hope now showed disappointed expressions.
"Although I've forgotten most of it… Book should still know something."
Fu Hua scratched her cheek and said uncertainly:
"At the very least… Project Ember seems to have been the responsibility of the person who created Book. If I remember correctly, it might be related to me."
"Is this Project cruel?"
Mei got straight to the point.
Since her own immortal was unreliable, Book of Fuxi had to step up to salvage the situation.
"Project Ember… was the responsibility of my two creators, Fuxi and Nuwa. Its main purpose was to pass on the wisdom of the Previous Era to this era and help newly born humans develop civilization."
She crossed her arms and sat on the orb with her legs crossed, speaking with some regret
"But unfortunately, this project failed."
"I see. Then we can probably rule out answer A."
After listening to Book of Fuxi, Mei understood and continued asking:
"Do you know anything about the other projects?"
Book of Fuxi shook her small head. "I'm an ELF created in this era."
"The only reason I know about the this Project is that my two creators were in charge of it. As for the other plans, my system doesn't store any relevant information."
As she spoke, she glanced at Fu Hua and added unhappily.
"My immortal might know, but in her current state… heh."
The Book of Fuxi had always held a grudge about Fu Hua turning herself into this state.
She didn't understand—
What kind of situation could cause her immortal to become like this?
Mei couldn't find any useful clues and felt helpless.
After a bit of discussion, they left the choice to Fu Hua.
Since the question was about the Previous Era, it was most appropriate to let Fu Hua, a veteran from that time, make the call.
Even if Fu Hua had forgotten much, it was still better than their complete ignorance.
Let Fu Hua try—who knows, maybe she'd pick the right answer by instinct?
Fu Hua felt that this made sense, so she didn't refuse.
"I choose D."
She simply picked one based on her feeling.
[Correct]
Great—it was correct.
Mei was surprised by the result.
[5. Which of the following is the woman who can blast the Sea of Quanta with seven punches?]
[A. Seele Vollerie]
[B. Fu Hua]
[C. Bianka Ataegina]
[D. Bronya Zaychik]
After reading the question, Bronya spoke before anyone else could react.
"It's definitely not Seele!"
She ruled out answer A with certainty, her tone firm.
How could Seele—a weak girl who couldn't even fight—be the woman capable of blasting the Sea of Quanta with seven punches?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
"Uh…"
Looking at Bronya, who was so adamant and protective of her girl, Mei tugged at the corner of her mouth awkwardly.
No one said it was Seele.
During some downtime earlier, since she had drawn an item related to Seele, Bronya had introduced her to everyone when asked.
From her introduction, the girl named Seele was clearly introverted, delicate, and gentle.
No matter how you looked at it, she had nothing to do with the kind of woman who could blast the Sea of Quanta with seven punches.
"Bronya in option D can also be ruled out. Although Bronya is very skilled in combat, her strength isn't that overwhelming."
After removing Seele, Bronya didn't forget to eliminate herself from the list of possible answers.
She was well aware of her own strength.
She relied on strategy in combat. If it came down to raw power, she might not even be stronger than Mei—except when using Project Bunny.
"Then that leaves B and C?"
Accepting Bronya's logic, Mei looked at the two remaining choices.
Fu Hua… it wouldn't be surprising if she were capable of such a feat.
Judging by the strength she had revealed earlier, calling her strong would be an understatement.
Such a formidable title suited Fu Hua quite well, given her no-nonsense attitude.
However, the other remaining option—
"Bianka…"
Mei frowned when she read that name.
That name had appeared repeatedly in previous questions.
Who was Bianka?
Theresa coughed lightly, signaling her intention to answer.
"Bianka…"
Theresa was quite familiar with the name. She gave a general assessment.
"She is the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal right now."
She said this seriously.
"Among the people I've met, even Cecilia in the past might not be her match."
"If it's her, seven punches to blast the Sea of Quanta… It's not out of the question. Actually, it's quite possible."
Hearing this, Mei raised her eyebrows.
"So… does that mean we're down to two valid answers?"
