As Walter Young finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, instantly becoming heavy and oppressive, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Dr. Einstein, standing to the side, nodded slightly with a serious expression in response. He then skillfully pulled a small, exquisite communicator from his pocket.

Long, slender fingers moved swiftly across the communicator's screen and buttons, like a nimble dancer, inputting a series of complex commands and messages.

Just a few seconds later, she finished all the operations and looked up, fixing her gaze firmly on Walter Young, who had spoken a moment earlier.

"Einstein has successfully informed Dr. Tesla that the Titan forces will be assembled as quickly as possible and are ready to be deployed at any time."

Upon hearing the news, Walter Young nodded slightly, while silently rubbing his slightly rough hands. His brows furrowed, and his expression grew increasingly solemn and deep.

"This operation is of paramount importance; we absolutely cannot afford the slightest mistake." Yang took a deep breath and continued, "'She' possesses immense power. If she were to lose control even slightly, the consequences would be catastrophic."

"It could even plunge the entire human society into an abyss of no return. Therefore, no matter what, we must go all out this time and spare no expense to ensure the mission is successfully completed!"

“That’s true.” Dr. Einstein fully understood what Yang was thinking and the immense pressure he was under, and a faint look of worry appeared in his eyes.

"Yang, if the situation really develops to the point where we have no choice but to resort to force, are you... really prepared to deal with what we'll face next?"

Walter Young remained silent for a long time, his head slightly lowered, weighing the various possibilities and consequences in his mind. Then he took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, looked at Einstein, and said softly.

"Ein, I am fully prepared. No matter what attitude 'she' has, I will do my best to deal with it."

"However, if things develop to the point of no return, then... I will make the final decision."

The moment the words left their mouths, the air between them seemed to freeze, a heavy and oppressive atmosphere spreading out. They stared at each other, needing no further words.

He already knew in his heart that every step he took and every decision he made could very well affect the life and death of countless innocent people.

Just then, a deafening roar came from afar, breaking the brief silence. The colossal Titan mech in the distance, like a steel behemoth, started up again.

Its massive mechanical body moved slowly and powerfully, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly, accompanied by a heart-pounding dull sound.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant where Theresa was, the originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere suddenly became tense due to Otto's unexpected emergency order.

Siegfried and Cecilia sat at the dining table. Upon hearing the news, they quickly exchanged a grave glance. Clearly, this news concealed a tremendous crisis, the implications of which were self-evident.

“Theresa, don’t worry, we’re here. We’ll take good care of Kiana,” Cecilia said softly, looking at Theresa gently.

Theresa nodded, put away the terminal in her hand, and stood up. She walked over to Kiana and gently patted her head. "Kiana, Auntie has an important mission to take care of. Be good, okay?"

Kiana nodded understandingly. Theresa smiled, hugged Kiana, and then turned and walked towards the door. Siegfried and Cecilia also stood up and watched her leave.

Inside the Tower of Babylon, Sirin sat gracefully before the massive, blazing Honkai Furnace, her legs crossed with an air of nonchalant elegance, like a noble Persian cat.

He casually glanced lazily at Chen Yuan, who was sitting steadily on his shoulder. A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I say, you insignificant humans, why did you leave that annoying researcher behind? Is it because you're afraid of those so-called Valkyries...?"

"Hmph, if that's really the case, then it's too boring, and there's no need to go to such lengths." Xilin's voice was crisp, but it contained a hint of provocation, full of disdain for Chenyuan's plan.

However, for some reason, whenever she faced this seemingly insignificant little guy, a feeling that was hard to describe would always well up deep in Celine's heart.

The feeling was wonderful, as if there was some invisible bond between her and Chen Yuan, causing every cell in her body to involuntarily send signals, telling her that she should rely on and trust Chen Yuan.

This inexplicable sense of belonging confused and intrigued Celine, making her even more eager to uncover the secrets hidden within this little guy.

Just then, Chen Yuan, who had been sitting quietly on Xilin's shoulder, suddenly spoke up, "My Queen, please calm down for a while. If I'm not mistaken, a group of people will arrive here soon."

"However, what you said is more or less true. There is indeed no need to spare this person's life, since my goal has already been achieved."

After speaking, Chen Yuan slowly raised his arm, and in an instant, a symbiote suddenly shot out from his palm, piercing straight through Tom's fragile throat like lightning.

"Why...why...did you...do this to me...?!" Tom's face was filled with terror. He gripped the symbiote that was devouring his life tightly, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared intently at Chen Yuan before him. He managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "You promised...you would spare my life..."

However, when faced with Tom's questioning, Chen Yuan replied without changing his expression, "The reason is very simple: as far as I'm concerned, you are of no use to me at this moment."

After he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, but that seemingly casual wave instantly decided Tom's life or death.

With a soft thud, Tom's life was extinguished in an instant, and his body, which had been struggling, lost all strength and collapsed limply to the ground.

Crimson blood gushed from his neck like a burst dam, quickly staining a large area of ​​the ground red, creating a shocking and bloody scene.

Meanwhile, Celine maintained her naturally languid demeanor, seemingly unaffected by the tragic scene unfolding before her.

Not only that, but the slightly upturned corners of her mouth revealed an even deeper smile as she said softly, "Judging from this, it seems your plan is progressing quite well, you insignificant human."

Sirin parted her lips slightly and spoke softly, her voice tinged with a hint of mockery, "Heh, do those beings you fear, those so-called Valkyries, really pose any real threat to you or me?"

Chen Yuan did not respond to her words immediately, but nimbly jumped down from Xilin's shoulder, landed steadily, and fixed his gaze on the huge Honkai Furnace in front of him.

He said slowly, "We never placed our hopes on him in the first place. If we can successfully hold them off for a while, that would be ideal, but even if we fail to achieve that goal, it won't have much of an impact."

He paused, then added, "Furthermore, please do not underestimate them, Your Majesty. Otherwise, we could very well lose everything!"

Upon hearing this, Xilin frowned slightly, then raised the corners of her mouth, forming a half-smile, and gave a soft snort.

"You seem to have quite a bit of confidence in those Valkyries. Very well, then I'll see what these so-called heroes are capable of to dare challenge me!"
