In an instant, a strange light flashed, and the serious injuries caused by Theresa began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and were completely restored in a short time.

"Actually, there's not much to say. The awakening of the Second Herrscher is a done deal. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to evacuate the people of Siberia as soon as possible."

Having recovered, Celine clenched her fist, feeling the satisfaction of her body regaining its strength. A slight smile played on her lips.

Just as she was about to launch an attack to demonstrate her newly recovered strength, she suddenly felt a gaze fixed intently on her. Following the gaze, she saw Chen Yuan staring at her intently.

For some reason, when her eyes met Chen Yuan's, the surging fighting spirit in Xi Lin's heart vanished instantly. It was as if an invisible force had suppressed her restless emotions, preventing her from having any more thoughts of causing trouble. So, Xi Lin could only stand quietly in place, not daring to move an inch.

At this moment, Theresa, standing to the side, widened her eyes, rubbed them vigorously to wipe away the remaining tears, and then pointed at Sirin, shouting loudly, "Chenyuan, you're not kidding us, are you? The legendary Second Herrscher... is actually this little girl?"

Before she could finish speaking, Theresa seemed to remember something and added urgently, "If that's the case, why not hand her over to us, to Destiny to handle?"

Hearing Theresa's question, Chen Yuan sighed softly. His gaze revealed a hint of helplessness and a deep, unfathomable meaning.

He then slowly withdrew the symbiote from Sirin's body. As the symbiote gradually detached from Sirin's body, the tense atmosphere seemed to ease slightly.

Chen Yuan turned around to face Theresa and Patrick, and said slowly in an unusually calm tone, "The awakening of the Second Herrscher is not something that you and I can completely control."

"Now that Sirin is about to awaken, forcibly bringing her back to the Destiny organization will not only fail to solve the problem, but may also trigger an even more serious disaster."

"Because... some people, no, a certain person, are willing to resort to any extreme means to achieve their ulterior motives. Once Sirin falls into his hands, he will inevitably take even more insane actions."

"A crazy act?" Patrick frowned deeply, staring at Chen Yuan with a suspicious look. He was clearly puzzled by the explanation and shook his head as he spoke.

"While you speak with conviction, frankly, your claims sound utterly absurd and laughable. However, let's assume for now that what you're saying is true..."

"However, you must understand one thing: this is not some ordinary, weak girl, but the incredibly powerful Second Herrscher!"

"If the terrifying power she possesses gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will definitely trigger a catastrophe!"

"I am well aware of this, which is precisely why you need to hurry and evacuate all residents in the Siberian region..."

"After all, you don't have much time left. It's probably not long before Xilin fully awakens." As he said this, Chen Yuan reached out and gently took Xilin's fair and delicate hand.

Xilin was slightly taken aback at first, then quickly glanced at her small hand being enveloped by Chen Yuan's broad and warm palm, and a blush instantly rose to her cheeks.

Somewhat shyly, she turned her head to the side, not daring to meet Chen Yuan's gaze. Theresa, who was standing aside witnessing this scene, stared wide-eyed, her pupils trembling violently due to some kind of emotion.

"Then, Theresa, let's look forward to meeting again in the near future. Perhaps by then, I will have enough time and energy to explain this whole complicated situation to you in detail!"

"Goodbye~ my lovely little Theresa~" With that, Chen Yuan waved his hand and pinched Xilin's cheek with his other hand.

Xilin, of course, understood the meaning behind Chen Yuan's words. She tilted her head slightly, gave a soft hum, and then elegantly snapped her fingers with her other hand. In an instant, a strange, circular ripple appeared silently behind them.

"Don't run!" "Chen Yuan? Wait for me!" Theresa and Patrick shouted almost in unison, taking a sudden step forward to stop Chen Yuan and Xilin from escaping.

However, Chen Yuan didn't give them any time to react. The circular ripple expanded rapidly at an astonishing speed, like a huge, invisible net, which enveloped Chen Yuan and Xi Lin in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a dazzling flash of light, the two vanished without a trace before everyone's eyes.

"Damn it!" Patrick cursed angrily, the laser turret he had been holding high instantly transforming back into a powerful machine gun. "These two are definitely the culprits behind the Tower of Babel incident. How could we let them escape so easily?"

In contrast, Theresa appeared utterly dejected. She stood there blankly, her eyes fixed on the direction where the vanished beam of light had disappeared, muttering to herself, "Fate..."

Just then, Patrick's anxious shouts reached Theresa's ears, "Theresa, what should we do next?" These words struck Theresa like a heavy blow, jolting her awake. She took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her chaotic mind.

"Patrick, go and send a message to headquarters, informing them to immediately dispatch Destiny personnel to Siberia to carry out the evacuation operation! There must be no delay!"

Patrick nodded heavily, then turned around without hesitation and strode away quickly. Theresa stood silently in place, her gaze fixed on the spot where the light wave had dissipated, her heart filled with a jumble of emotions.

"Why you of all times, why do you have to appear at this moment..." Theresa whispered in a voice only she could hear, her eyes once again brimming with glistening tears.

Although their earthly ties had long since faded, the many questions he left behind lingered like an inescapable shadow, constantly reverberating deep within her mind.

Meanwhile, atop the towering Tower of Babel, a mysterious, ring-shaped wave silently spread out. Then, the figures of Sirin and Chenyuan gradually emerged from this wave.

Chen Yuan stretched lazily and then said slowly, "Alright, now we just need to wait quietly for Theresa and the others to leave this place."

However, upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Xi Lin tightly gripped her free hand, lowered her head slightly, and after a moment of silence, murmured in a voice barely audible, "I'm...sorry..."

Celine's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, so faint that only she herself could hear the barely audible murmur.

However, this gentle voice did not escape Chen Yuan's keen ears. He immediately noticed the subtle change in Xilin's emotions and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"You don't need to feel guilty about it. Although this operation was indeed somewhat impulsive and reckless, the responsibility does not lie with you."

"If we investigate this seriously, everything that happened today can be attributed to a certain person." Chen Yuan gently comforted her while patting Xilin's head.

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's comforting words, Xi Lin was slightly taken aback, then shook her head, and her originally dull eyes gradually began to gleam with a sharp light.

"Next time... I will never fail again! I will make those despicable Valkyries pay a terrible price for what they have done!"

At this point, Celine gritted her teeth in resentment, and for some reason, she couldn't help but secretly swear in her heart, "Especially that little girl named Theresa..."

Just then, Xilin suddenly realized that whenever she saw Chen Yuan look at someone with such doting eyes, a strong feeling of bitterness would involuntarily well up in her heart.

This feeling washed over her like waves, one after another, making it almost unbearable. Celine frowned deeply; this feeling… she really disliked it!
