"While they were happily playing with the Honkai Beasts, 'she' was probably absorbing the Honkai energy from the tower."
"My Lord, time is of the essence. I suggest we deploy the Titan forces and force our way into the tower. If the Chosen Ones try to stop us..."
Among the three members of the Snow Wolf Squad who were fighting, Walter spotted that familiar figure at a glance.
Siegfried Kaslana.
“No, you keep the Titan forces on standby, I’ll go down and talk to the Chosen Ones.” Walter rejected Tesla’s suggestion.
“Siegfried Kaslana, I knew I’d run into you here.” He wasn’t surprised by this encounter. “…This time, we’re not enemies.”
"Phew... These bastards, no matter how many I kill, I can never finish them all." Shub Nikola chopped down a Honkai Beast and turned to Salome. "Salome, let's have a contest to see who kills more."
“I won’t compete with you, you stupid dog.” Salome flatly rejected Shub Nicholas’s challenge.
"Remember our mission: don't let any of them escape."
Shub Nicholas took a single step and charged rapidly toward the Honkai Beast in front of her.
"No need for your reminder! No one can escape my spear!"
A loud bang came from the sky.
"what?!"
Nicholas quickly looked up.
Meanwhile, the Honkai Beasts, who should have been fearless in the face of death, began to tremble inexplicably.
"Something's wrong! Salome, Nicholas, get behind me right now!" Siegfried shouted.
Then, they all looked up at the sky.
There, a slender figure stood out from the sky, holding a terrifying crimson sphere in one hand.
"That is……"
"Humans?!"
Welt's indifferent eyes were fixed on the Honkai Beasts on the ground.
He spoke softly:
Like a supreme monarch, his words seemed to contain a heavy sense of authority.
"My body... is so heavy!" Siegfried felt his body being forced down to his knees by gravity.
Thump! Thump!
Nicholas and Salome were both too heavy to stand up and had to rely on their weapons to support themselves.
"Disappear."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless rays suddenly shot out from the crimson sphere in Welt's hand, piercing through all the Honkai Beasts.
Siegfried was incredulous upon witnessing this scene.
"How could this be... hundreds of Honkai Beasts were wiped out in an instant."
He can't exactly say that he thought it was cool back then.
It is indeed very cool.
Since Welt Joyce, the first Herrscher of this civilization, repaired the Star of Eden, it has become the legacy of the successive Herrschers.
Although it is often shattered, under the power of the Herrscher of Reason, there is no creation that cannot be repaired.
Having finished everything, Walter slowly descended from the sky.
"..." Siegfried stared at Walter.
'This person... seems familiar.'
Then, his gaze fell on Walter's belt.
"The symbol on that belt... it's anti-entropy!"
Before the three members of the Snow Wolf Squad could react, two enormous Titans landed on the snow behind Walter, sending up countless snowflakes.
Walter had his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, and the cold wind ruffled his hair and scarf.
Then, knowing he was no match for the person before him, Siegfried still raised the Heavenly Fire.
His tone was full of caution: "People who oppose entropy, tell me your purpose."
"My fellow members of the Mandate of Heaven!"
Walter placed his hand on his chest, his tone sincere.
“I am Walter Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy.”
This self-introduction immediately caused a huge uproar in the minds of Nicholas and Salome.
"The leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance?!"
"It's the First Herrscher! We must inform Lord Otto immediately!!"
Walter was unconcerned by their reactions and continued, "My fellow chosen ones, what is happening inside the Tower of Babel now concerns the fate of the world."
"For the sake of this world, please put aside your past grievances for now, accept our help, and work together to resolve this incident."
"My impression of anti-entropy isn't too bad." However, Siegfried did not put down the Heavenly Fire in his hand because of this.
"However, due to my duty, I cannot accept your help."
"Get out of here immediately!"
Walter remained silent.
Siegfried continued, "Otherwise, even if it means we both perish, I won't let you pass."
"To die together!?" Walter demanded sharply, "Isn't the Kaslana family's responsibility to protect others?!"
"If you risk your life for a moment of anger, how can you protect your family, friends, and the world?"
Siegfried was startled; in an instant, the smiling faces of his wife and daughter flashed through his mind.
At that moment, Walter extended his hand to him, a sincere invitation.
"Please believe in my sincerity. I do not wish to be your enemy."
“I will station my troops here. If you are still not at ease, I am willing to accept any conditions you set.”
A few drops of cold sweat trickled down his face, and Siegfried helplessly touched his head.
"Alright, it's not a wise move to start a war with the First Herrscher here and then be wiped out."
He also extended his hand to Walter.
"And your eyes, those are the eyes of a man."
"I choose to believe you and accept your help."
One represents reverse entropy, the other belongs to destiny. The two clasped hands.
This signifies a temporary agreement.
"If this incident is really as you say, it will endanger the entire world..."
"Then, the thing I should really risk my life for is stopping him!"
P.S.: Oh no, the new chapter is stuck in the approval process π_π
Chapter 21 The Herrscher Who Tears Through Space
Inside the Tower of Babylon.
Einstein is holding up some kind of scale for testing collapse energy.
"So, did you find the person you were looking for?"
"No, no one here has Honkai energy exceeding the limit."
Theresa suddenly leaned forward from behind her.
"Wait a minute...it seems...a girl with purple hair is missing."
Reminded by Theresa, Einstein realized what was happening.
"Did we stir up trouble and let her escape?"
She then turned to Walter, who had his eyes closed, and asked, "Lord Alliance Leader, can you sense her location?"
"I can't sense it; it's not inside the Tower of Babylon." Walter sensed the Honkai energy inside the Tower of Babylon, and as the gauge indicated, there was no excessive Honkai energy reaction.
"A large amount of Honkai energy remains... The surrounding space is also not very stable. It seems that they used Honkai energy to tear through space and escaped outside the tower."
“Tearing through space?!” Siegfried exclaimed incredulously.
“If what you’re saying is true, then this is troublesome.” A bead of cold sweat rolled down his face. “The Siberian weather makes our detectors particularly insensitive. I hope you have a better way to find someone in the vast snowfields.”
Outside the tower, the drones used for detection by Reverse Entropy are swaying in the wind and snow.
"Unfortunately, even the entropy-reversing detectors cannot cope with the climate here."
Einstein answered in a flat, even voice.
Kiana wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the voices in her dreams were becoming clearer these past few days, and she even heard phrases like "I didn't lose..." and "If it weren't for..." from time to time.
Blah blah blah is so annoying!
"Activate backup plan T now." With that, she took out a test tube containing the Honkai energy residue left behind by "her".
“Miss Theresa, please borrow the oath of Judah.”
Theresa had no objection to this.
She took out the huge cross-shaped weapon and gently stroked it.
“I’ve brought Judah.” She hesitated for a moment, not to back out, but out of doubt, “However… Judah’s maximum detection range is only one hundred meters.”
After opening the test tube, Einstein glanced at Theresa and continued, "Miss Theresa, you are not right. In the ancient ruins we have excavated, there is some information about the Oath of Judah."
"The Oath of Judah and Mr. Siegfried's Judgment of God are both weapons made by ancient civilizations—the Keys of God."
"Besides being used as a weapon, Judah had four other uses."
She poured the Honkai energy from the test tube into the Oath of Judah.
“Now, Miss Theresa, I have injected the Honkai energy left by the purple-haired girl into Judah. Please activate Judah’s hunting mode to find the target.”
“I…I’ve never heard of this feature before…and I don’t know how to use it,” Theresa said somewhat nervously.
This was the first time she had ever known that Judah also had the ability to hunt.
Einstein remained silent, and she took Theresa's hand and pressed it onto Judas.
"The Soul Steel that makes up the Key of God can sense the user's thoughts, so when you touch Judah, just think about tracking the enemy."
Does this guy not even know this kind of knowledge normally?
Stroking Judas, Theresa tried to clear her mind, silently repeating to herself:
“Tracking…tracking…”
A burst of light appeared, and Theresa managed to open one eye through it.
"Judas...!"
"How did it get so small!"
In her vision, Judas, who should have been larger than her, had now become a cross no bigger than her palm, bound to the back of her hand.
Several golden chains flew out in all directions.
“Soulsteel is composed of nanometals. Judah’s hunting mode converts the Soulsteel within the cross into chains for tracking—” Einstein continued to explain.
"Under extreme circumstances, Judas could track a target within a radius of 200 kilometers."
Soon, Judah's chains began to tremble slightly.
"...It seems we've tracked down the target."
"Lady Theresa, please set off immediately. We need you to lead the way."
Walter, who had been watching everything from the sidelines, pushed up his glasses and said helplessly, "That Otto guy, he didn't even tell them the correct way to use the Divine Keys...?"
