Cocolia held a USB drive in her hand and spoke casually, puzzled as to why the World Serpent would ask her for Siegfried's location.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Jackal took the USB drive, put it in his pocket, crossed his arms, and arrogantly answered Cocolia's question, saying in a condescending tone, "Have you finished the task Gray Serpent gave you?"
Do I need to tell you whether I've finished or not?
Cocolia was particularly annoyed by the jackal's tone and retorted directly, making the atmosphere between the two tense.
"You'd better hurry up and finish, or you'll be in for a world of hurt when the Lord returns."
Jackal didn't want to bother with Cocolia, stared at her and snorted coldly, thinking that he would have plenty of time to get back at her later.
"Okay, that's none of your business."
Cocolia knew that the sovereign mentioned by the jackal was Kevin from the Sea of Quanta, and she was genuinely intimidated by this powerful being. Although she had never witnessed his strength firsthand, the little she knew from Gray Serpent made it clear that he was someone she could never contend with.
Jackal retorted a few more times to Cocolia before turning and leaving. She preferred to spend her time on experiments rather than arguing with her there. The experiment in Sky City had reached a crucial point, and she needed to get there quickly.
"Who is that person next to Cocolia? Why does she want Siegfried's place?"
Only after Cocolia and the jackal had left did Einstein dare to speak. Many questions swirled in Einstein's mind; she didn't know what they were up to, but from their conversation, she knew it wasn't good news.
"Doctor, what do we do now?"
Yuno squatted down next to Einstein. Although she didn't see Cocolia and the other person, she heard the whole conversation, but unfortunately she couldn't understand much of it, just like Luo Chen was telling her riddles.
"Let's go back and discuss it with Theresa first."
"Ladies, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to go back."
The ground lit up, and strange patterns clung to it, imprisoning Yuno's Honkai energy and rendering her unable to fight.
The gray snake appeared out of nowhere, and Yuno tried to bind it with vines, but she couldn't use her Honkai energy.
"Oops!"
Unable to unleash her Honkai power, Yuno grew increasingly impatient. She drew the short sword tucked into her waistband and shielded Einstein behind her.
"I never expected that the things I carried with me would actually be so useful."
Yuno mocked herself, her eyes fixed on Gray Serpent. Wasn't he dead in Sky City? How did he end up here?
"I'm sure you two are quite surprised by my appearance, but I'm not going to answer that question. I'd like you to find out the answer yourselves."
Grey Serpent raised her right hand in a feint, and behind Einstein, a mech dequantized and punched her. Einstein couldn't dodge in time and was knocked unconscious by the mech, collapsing to the ground.
"Dr. Einstein!"
Seeing Einstein fall, Yuno panicked and slashed at the mecha's attack. Naturally, the blade was knocked away, and she was also thrown back by the impact.
"Miss Yuno, don't put up a futile resistance."
Gray Serpent reached into his pocket with his right hand, took out a black crystal, and used it to make the patterns on the ground clearer. Yuno felt as if all her Honkai energy had been drained, and she almost fell over.
Yuno was wary of the mecha behind her, while also observing Gray Serpent's movements, wary that he might stab her in the back. As she expected, Gray Serpent pulled out a gun with his left hand and shot Yuno in the arm, injecting an anesthetic.
The anesthetic took effect immediately. Yuno felt dizzy and leaned against the wall to remove the anesthetic, but the drug had already entered her body. She soon passed out against the wall.
Grey Serpent put away his pistol and crystal, ordered the mech to take Einstein away, walked up to Yuno, looked down at her, and dialed Cocolia's number.
"Cocolia, take what I gave you to the Eye of the Abyss. Our mission needs to be brought forward."
Chapter 157 Emergency Situation
When Cocolia arrived at the Eye of the Abyss, Gray Serpent had already arrived. Cocolia immediately spotted the mecha next to Gray Serpent, with Yuno being held in the mecha's arm.
"How did you manage to abduct her?"
"You and Jackal are really careless; you didn't even know you were being followed."
Upon hearing this, Cocolia's face fell. She was somewhat relieved that Yuno had been captured by the gray snake. If Yuno had taken her conversation with the jackal back to Einstein and the others, all her carefully planned schemes would have been ruined.
"Judging from your expression, you should know how serious things are. But now is not the time to talk about this. Take out the medicine I gave you."
Cocolia did as she was told, handing a test tube containing purple liquid to Gray Snake. Gray Snake took it, took it out, and fed it directly to Yuno, without caring whether she would wake up or not.
After the reagent was administered, within seconds, Honkai energy erosion patterns began to appear on Yuno's arm, and soon they spread to her face.
"Open the Eye of the Abyss, I'm going to send Yuno-san inside."
Cocolia was curious about why Gray Serpent did this, but now was not the time to ask questions. She controlled the device to open a small opening in the Eye of the Abyss, and Gray Serpent had the mecha carry Yuno inside.
"We can go now. We can just observe the people in the Far East from the shadows."
On the Helios, Lilith wanted to talk to Yuno, so she went to Yuno's room and knocked on the door. After a while, she didn't hear Yuno's voice and felt a little strange.
Yuno, are you there?
Lilith found it strange. There were only a few hours left before the opening of the Eye of the Abyss. According to Yuno's personality, she should be in her room preparing at this time. Could she have fallen asleep?
Lilith gently pushed open the door, but Yuno was nowhere to be seen in the room. An ominous premonition enveloped her heart.
"Strange, where did Yuno go?"
Lilith walked out of the room, wondering where Yuno had gone. There was no one in the room, and she couldn't get through on the phone; it was as if Yuno had disappeared.
"Could she really be missing? Impossible, there don't seem to be many people in Haiyuan City who can beat Yuna."
"Never mind, I'll talk to the headmaster first."
Lilith made a call to Theresa, but before she could speak, the lights in the corridor turned red, and a piercing sound filled the entire ship.
"Dean, what's going on?"
"Lilith, grab your equipment and head to the surface immediately! A Honkai Beast rampage has occurred."
After Lilith put on her gear, she immediately ran to the elevator. When she got to the ground, she saw Theresa and Bronya were already there, but Yuno was still nowhere to be seen.
"Headmaster, Yuno is missing."
"I understand. Dr. Einstein has also disappeared."
Honkai Beasts are constantly appearing on the streets. Theresa dealt with the latest batch, but the situation is far from optimistic. Without Einstein, their subsequent plans cannot proceed, and now Yuno is also missing.
"Bronya, Lilith, stay close to me, let's go to the Eye of the Abyss to look for clues."
Theresa was like she was invincible, cutting down Honkai Beasts like watermelons, sweeping through the enemy ranks without Bronya or Lilith lifting a finger.
"Dean, there seem to be quite a few Honkai Beasts ahead."
Theresa looked over and saw a dense swarm of Honkai Beasts, making it impossible to pass. This was the shortest route to the Eye of the Abyss. Taking a detour was possible, but it would take much longer.
"There's no other way but to force our way through."
Theresa clicked her tongue inwardly, raised Judas and slammed it down on the Honkai Beast in front of her. With just one blow, the Honkai Beast was rendered immobile and ultimately met its end in the northwest.
Theresa took down the Honkai Beasts one after another, while Bronya and Lilith helped her clear out the surrounding area from both sides. However, they were outnumbered and unable to advance, and were even surrounded by Honkai Beasts.
"Bronya and Lilith, you two step back!"
Theresa waved her hand, and the Moonbeam slowly covered her entire body. Judah gripped her tightly, and terrifying Honkai energy fluctuations emanated from her body, scaring the nearby Honkai beasts away.
The liberated Moonbeam Armor made Theresa feel that her strength had increased by another step. Judah slammed heavily to the ground, opened it up and threw out the spears inside. She also took two spears and destroyed the Honkai Beast in front of her with lightning speed.
The group arrived at the Eye of the Abyss. There were far fewer Honkai Beasts here than on the street, but because of the three of them, Honkai Beasts were continuously coming towards them.
"Dean, the Eye of the Abyss has been opened!"
"What?! When did this happen?"
Theresa was stunned. The disappearance of Einstein and Yuno and the rampage of the Honkai Beasts had already upset her, and now this happened. She was furious and took her anger out on the Honkai Beasts.
The spear, carrying chains, pierced the head of the Honkai Beast. Theresa stepped forward, grabbed the chains, and pulled them forward with all her might. Judah was thrown away by her monstrous strength and crashed straight into the Honkai Beasts in front of him.
Theresa pulled Judah back, put away the chains, grabbed one of Judah's arms, threw him away, and manipulated Judah to unleash his flying spear, clearing away the Honkai Beasts in the distance and forming a barrier.
After gently massaging her shoulders, Theresa brought the Twilight Blades from her lower back to the front, controlling them to circle around her, and wielding them to create a line of fire all by herself.
"The headmaster is really something else."
Lilith used her sniper rifle to eliminate the Honkai Beasts in the distance, while Theresa could easily hold off the nearby enemies on her own. If Lilith fired again, it might disrupt her rhythm.
Bronya, what are you looking at?
Lilith turned around and saw Bronya standing motionless facing the Eye of the Abyss. She nudged Bronya's body with her arm.
"what happened?"
Bronya snapped out of her daze, turned her head to look at Lilith, then turned to look at Theresa, who was fighting fiercely in front of her, her eyes gradually becoming firm.
Bronya turned back and approached the Eye of the Abyss under Lilith's gaze. Just as Bronya was about to jump in, a roar came from the Eye of the Abyss, and a strange Honkai Beast poked its head out, grabbing at Bronya with a claw.
"Bronya!"
Lilith grabbed Bronya's hand and pulled her back, aiming her sniper rifle at Tralock's eye area. The shot went in but caused no damage.
At this moment, the mech that Einstein left on the Helios finally arrived and helped them clear out the remaining Honkai Beasts. Theresa's pressure was greatly reduced, and she turned to help Bronya and Lilith fight against Tralock.
Theresa, like Judah, slapped away Traloc's claws, bound its head with chains, and struck Tonatius's head with a flash of light from the Twilight Blade.
Tralock, in pain, jerked his head back, knocking Theresa away, and twisted his body, trying to extend his other claw.
Theresa and her two companions weren't going to give it a chance. Theresa lifted Judah high and swung it forcefully, sending Judah flying towards Tonaus and slamming it heavily onto its head. Bronya and Lilith seized the opportunity to unleash a barrage of fire on the claws, successfully shattering one of the claws inside the head.
Tralock, finding himself trapped, roared at Theresa and hurled a pillar at her, using the opportunity to retreat back into the Sea of Quanta.
Seeing that Tralock had retreated, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief. After dodging the pillar, she was about to speak when she saw a scene that made her blood pressure soar.
