As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

Sirin's body suddenly stiffened, and the smile that was originally full of contempt melted away like ice meeting fire in an instant, completely freezing on her face.

Instinctively, Sirin began to struggle desperately, trying to break free from the golden chains tightly binding her. However, the chains seemed to have a mind of their own, tightening and constricting further with her movements.

"What...is this thing?" Sirin's voice trembled slightly, filled with undisguised panic.

This sudden turn of events completely threw her into disarray, to the point that she even forgot she still possessed the ability to use her powers to escape her predicament.

Just then, Theresa seized the opportunity, giving Celine no time to think. She moved with lightning speed, sprinting forward.

At the same time, she gripped Judas firmly with both hands, raised him high above her head, and then swung him down with all her might.

With a furious shout, "Stay put!" Judah unleashed an overwhelming and unparalleled force, slashing down at Sirin with the force of a thunderbolt.

"Boom—" A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and the entire room trembled violently, as if it were being torn apart by this terrifying force.

At the epicenter of this terrifying attack, Sirin's delicate body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by the thunderous blow.

The frail body flew backward at an astonishing speed, crashing through several incredibly sturdy walls. With each impact, bricks shattered, dust billowed, and the walls instantly turned into ruins.

Finally, Sirin's body, like a falling meteor, crashed heavily onto the cold ground in the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky.

After the dust and smoke gradually dissipated, Theresa and the others finally saw the terrible state of Sirin. She was lying on the ground covered with rubble in a very disheveled state.

Her once gorgeous clothes were now tattered and torn from the series of violent impacts, barely able to cover the large patches of damaged, delicate skin.

Although Celine's eyes still shone with resentment, she was exhausted and no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer stand up from the ground on her own.

Just then, Patrick, who had just suffered a severe injury, slowly recovered. He first shook his slightly dizzy head a few times, moved his stiff neck, and then raised his hands.

The two machine gun-like weapons in her hands began to merge together, and within a few seconds they became one, eventually transforming into a weapon as huge as a laser turret.

"Well done, Theresa! It seems this battle is about to end!" Patrick said smugly, while steadily aiming the incredibly powerful laser turret in his hand at Sirin, who was lying motionless on the ground not far away.

Immediately afterward, he took a deep breath and pulled the trigger without hesitation. In an instant, countless tiny points of light emitting a dazzling purple glow converged on the muzzle of the laser turret like a tidal wave, quickly coalescing into an incredibly thick and powerful energy stream.

"Wait, Patrick, please don't kill her!" Seeing Patrick's murderous intent, Theresa was terrified and quickly tried to rush forward to stop him.

However, Patrick had already fully charged his energy and was unable to reverse the fatal blow. "It's too late, Theresa, get out of the way!" Patrick shouted hoarsely.

A staggeringly thick beam of blue light, like a ferocious beast, roared and pounced towards Sirin.

Sirin's pupils contracted instantly, and the beam of blue light magnified in her eyes, as if it would devour her entirely. It was only a fleeting second, but at that moment it felt like an eternity.

"Hey hey hey, little girl, you'd better listen to me from now on~" Just when Xilin was feeling utterly hopeless, suddenly, a slightly teasing voice rang in her ears. This voice was all too familiar to Xilin—it was Chen Yuan!

Before Xilin could react and speak, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes. In the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan, who had been hiding inside Xilin's body, broke free and stood firmly in front of her.

Chen Yuan quickly clasped his hands together, and then his hands and arms began to undergo a strange transformation, instantly condensing into a huge, pitch-black shield.

Almost at the same time that the shield was taking shape, the surging blue energy flow roared in and crashed hard against the shield.

In an instant, a deafening roar erupted, and a shockwave swept outwards, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding air.

"Boom!" With a deafening roar, the powerful collision echoed wildly through the air like a thunderbolt.

In an instant, the surging energy flow rushed in like a wild horse, and the two collided, instantly unleashing an unparalleled and powerful impact, forming an extremely terrifying shockwave that swept outwards with overwhelming force.

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, and sand and stones flew everywhere. The thick dust that had been surrounding the area and the scattered debris were all blown away by this violent force.

As things gradually calmed down, Theresa and Patrick stared blankly ahead, their faces filled with astonishment.

Not far in front of Sirin stood a massive shield, as steady as a mountain. The shield was pitch black, and its surface shimmered with chilling black energy.

"What...what is this thing?" Theresa stared wide-eyed, muttering incredulously. Her voice clearly betrayed a hint of undisguised confusion.

The strange shield that appeared before her was completely unfamiliar to her, yet for some reason, a strange sense of familiarity welled up in her heart, and the image of a person subconsciously surfaced from the depths of her mind.

"Ah, I never expected to see you again in this way, my lovely little Theresa." Just then, the jet-black shield that exuded an eerie aura suddenly began to change, as if it were a candle exposed to high heat, gradually softening and melting.

Upon hearing that sudden, familiar voice, Theresa's body trembled violently, and she froze on the spot, unable to move as if struck by lightning.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses as if waking from a dream, her lips trembling slightly as she murmured, "Fate...?"

Immediately afterwards, Theresa's gaze was fixed on the shield that was constantly "melting," staring intently without blinking, afraid of missing any detail.

Finally, under her intensely anxious gaze, the shield completely disappeared, and in its place, a complete human figure slowly emerged.

"Really... really is you...?" Theresa stood frozen in place, her eyes wide with disbelief, her gaze fixed on Chen Yuan. Memories of the past surged into her mind like a raging tide, without warning.

The moments she had shared with Chen Yuan, the days and nights she had spent together, unfolded slowly in her mind like vivid paintings.

Whether it was laughter or arguments, sweetness or pain, everything is so vividly clear, as if it happened just yesterday. Although a long time has passed, that familiar feeling from the depths of my heart has never faded in the slightest.

"You... how did you end up here?" Theresa's voice trembled slightly, filled with barely concealed excitement.

Before she could finish speaking, two crystal-clear tears streamed uncontrollably down her fair, delicate cheeks, like pearls falling from a broken string. "I...I really miss you so much...Why did you leave in the first place...?"

Faced with Theresa's deeply emotional question, Chen Yuan simply smiled faintly. However, within that smile, there was a hint of bitterness that was difficult for others to detect.

"Well... it's a long story. We did encounter some rather unusual circumstances back then. Sigh, I've actually been meaning to find an opportunity to explain it to you properly."

"However, the situation doesn't allow it right now. I'm really sorry, but I'm taking this young lady behind me with me today, no matter what."

“Absolutely impossible!” Patrick, who had been standing by and watching coldly, spoke up at this moment. Her eyes widened, staring intently at Chen Yuan, a wary glint in them.

At the same time, he still gripped the laser turret that emitted a cold, icy light tightly in both hands, showing no intention of putting it down, and remained in a state of high alert.

"Regardless of the nature of your relationship with Theresa, that girl must obediently return to the Destiny Organization with us today, no questions asked!"

Theresa's gaze swung back and forth between Chenyuan and Xilin like a pendulum, a complex mix of emotions making it impossible for her to calmly think about the problem.

Theresa took a deep breath and slowly raised her right hand, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. "Patrick, please don't act rashly."

Then, she turned her gaze to Chen Yuan and continued, "We should first listen to what Chen Yuan has to say. I believe he would never harbor any ill will towards us or cause us any harm! Absolutely not!"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Patrick frowned, a hint of doubt on his face. But in the end, he chose to heed Theresa's advice.

However, despite this, she remained vigilant, her body tense, ready to deal with any possible emergencies.

After all, the sheer power with which Chen Yuan had easily blocked his attack was truly astonishing. Facing such an unfathomable opponent, the consequences of any carelessness could be unimaginable.

At this moment, Chen Yuan simply shrugged indifferently, then turned around and walked towards Xi Lin as if nothing had happened. When he arrived beside Xi Lin, he suddenly extended two symbiotic organisms and quickly attached them to Xi Lin's body.
