Chapter 208: Fans
After sitting in the rest area for a while, Anno watched as Lockin and his teammates walked towards the competition venue.
Tang Ting stood there staring at her back for a while, then went into the store, bought a few bottles of water, and headed towards the arena. Anuo saw him pass by a stall selling team merchandise and buy a flame badge and a small flame flag, seemingly to support Luo Jin's match.
"The competition is about to begin," Karina said to her. "There are several formats for the competition in the inner arena, and it will take about two hours to finish."
Anno saw a projection pop up in front of her, showing the teams and competition format for today's matches. Luo Jin's team had a flame logo, which was very eye-catching and she spotted it immediately.
The inner field features obstacle courses and speed races, including team relays and individual events.
She became interested in the competition format. She had never seriously watched a flight vehicle competition before, so she decided to go and see how the competition's flight vehicles differed from the ones they usually flew.
Since the match was quite long and they had nothing else to do, they bought a lot of snacks and drinks, planning to watch the whole thing.
Caesar and the others, carrying bags of snacks, followed behind Anno, watching with great envy as Karina led her into the stadium.
Of course, the only ones who were most envious were Caesar and Tanville, who was the most astute.
Just as Sevier said, they knew Anno was soft-hearted, so they wanted to get more from her.
Mingxiao and the others knew their duty as family members. It was in their nature to serve His Highness, and anything they received from him was a reward for them.
However, having lost their Queen Insect for three hundred years, they were not influenced by the Queen Insect from childhood, and their relationship with Anno was somewhat different from that of other Zerg family members.
Because he lost Anuo for so long in the past, now that Anuo is back, he has been wanting to stick to her.
Without the Ohmu's retinue, they will gradually perish.
Even with the support of other Severus and Augsis's Ohmu effects, they would still sense the death of their own Ohmu, and their minds would be affected.
So for the past three hundred years, they have known that the young prince has been alive, but they just don't know where he is.
You need to buy a ticket to enter this competition venue. Karina is very familiar with the various operations of the venue. She bought two tickets online while in the rest area, and after having her tickets checked at the security checkpoint, we went straight in.
Caesar and his group of five were kept outside. Anno turned to look at them, and Karina put her arm around her shoulder and led her inside. "They're buying tickets and will catch up soon. Let's go up first; there are too many people here."
It was the time for people to enter the stadium before the start of the match, and a large number of spectators poured into the venue, drowning Anno's view in the crowd.
Knowing that she and Caesar could sense each other at any time, she went up with Karina first.
By the time Caesar and his group had bought their tickets and entered the stadium, Karina had already taken Anno by elevator to the top seats.
The seating arrangement was based on the purchased tickets, and Caesar and his group were seated in a section separate from Anno.
It was too late for them to change seats; all the seats near Anno and the others were already full. All five of them stood in their places, looking longingly in Anno's direction.
After watching for a while, Caesar was the first to walk towards Anno's position.
Then came Tanville and Bazel. Mingxiao and Poponia exchanged a glance and immediately followed.
Anno and Karina had just sat down when they heard a commotion from the row behind them. She turned around and saw Tanville and his group negotiating with the audience behind them. In just a few words, and with Mingxiao scanning their personal terminal, the audience members happily switched seats with them.
She didn't miss the payment interface on the projected screen, and the considerable amount of Star Coins.
They were all teenagers and generally didn't have much pocket money. Of course, they would be willing to pay a lot of money to exchange seats with someone.
Anno leaned close to Karina's ear and whispered, "Will our actions affect the order of this spacetime and have an impact on the future?"
Karina said, "No, what has happened has happened, and the time that has passed will not come back. Entering any point in time using time-space abilities will result in a separate time branch."
Seeing Anno's somewhat confused expression, Karina patiently explained, "You can imagine spacetime as an infinitely large cake. You can cut it into as many pieces as you like, and these cut-off spaces will not interfere with each other. The spacetime we are in now is one of those cut-off pieces. Our involvement may make things different in the future and in our current spacetime, but it will no longer have any connection with the spacetime we are going back to."
"Even if we had the ability to blow up Tianhe Star right now, Tianhe Star in our timeline would still be fine."
Anno understood now; it was roughly the concept of parallel universes.
She said, "Wouldn't that mean there would be many parallel universes?"
Karina nodded: "Theoretically, that's how it is. Time is infinite, and in infinite spacetime, there are infinite 'us'. As long as someone has the spacetime ability of a waxing crescent moon and goes to any point in the past, it will create a new spacetime branch, just like the butterfly effect. The future has changed, but we are still us. We have no connection with each other in other spacetimes and have our own life trajectories."
Karina, a woman of great learning, had already thoroughly studied the theory of spacetime.
Anno thought of Sevier and the crescent moon she saw on Earth. Their appearance was earlier than the present, so she and Karina were now at a future point in time where they had created a time branch. As long as the time branch they created was earlier than their present time, the butterfly effect would extend to their present time, just like a tree diagram, with more branches as you go up.
Sevier somehow revived the mother wolf, and Anno guessed it was through the genetic technology of the Northern River. The mother wolf is now Lokin, and the butterfly effect caused by this time branch has extended to their own timeline; otherwise, Lokin would not exist.
She told Karina her conjecture, and Karina nodded and said, "You're right. Perhaps in some timelines the mother wolf didn't die. She mutated normally and died of old age, or she might have died unexpectedly. But in that case, my brothers and I would have other adoptive families, but we might also have other unexpected life trajectories."
After hearing this, Anno said, "If the wolf mother hadn't died, I might have been able to grow up among the Zerg and not been stolen."
She paused for a moment, then added, "It's also possible that in some timeline, I died before I even met the wolf mother."
Karina patted her head: "None of that matters. What matters is us now. We have our own life path, and everything will be better in the future."
Anuo looked at her and said, "Second sister, don't you care about your counterparts in other timelines?"
Because the past ten years or so have been so difficult, Anno hopes that her counterparts in other timelines are doing better than her.
Given the chance, she wants to use that spacetime bubble membrane, which doesn't interfere with time and space, to witness herself, who is luckier and living a better life than her.
"not give a damn about."
Karina looked intently into her eyes, her voice calm with a hint of barely perceptible tenderness, "I've found what I wanted, perhaps luckier than most of my counterparts in different timelines. I just want us to be happy now."
"What you want?"
Anuo blinked and asked curiously, "What do you want, Second Sister?"
She never expected that her second sister would think that she was lucky in this timeline, even though she had suffered so much. Dennis controlled her consciousness, imprisoned their parents, and the North River system was about to belong to another star system.
Even without the Zerg and other star systems, the internal strife in the Northern River system would drain the system of its vitality.
The Northern River Galaxy in this spacetime is rotten to the core, and there is no solution to her suffering.
But she still considers herself lucky.
Karina smiled slightly. "What I want is right here..."
"Are you also supporting Team Flame?"
A figure sat down next to Anno, interrupting their conversation.
Looking at him, Anuo realized that this gentle and refined demeanor belonged to Tang Ting.
Seeing her adoptive father, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, sitting next to her, Anuo had an indescribable magical feeling.
She nodded and said, "Yes, we are fans of Team Flame."
Tang Ting smiled gently at her, "I can tell you've bought a lot of Flame Team merchandise."
Anno was wearing a hat and several badges from the Flame Team, and he was also holding a small flag from the Flame Team.
Anno unfolded a badge on his clothes and said to him, "I like Captain Lockin the most."
As he spoke, he pointed to the only badge on his chest, "Looks like you also like Captain Lockin the most."
Tang Ting looked at the girl in front of him, who was about the same age as him, and for some reason, he felt a strong connection with her. Although he was gentle, he was not the type to strike up a conversation with strangers easily, but when he saw her just now, he naturally started talking to her.
