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

Seeing that Siegfried was wavering, Walter Young's expression softened slightly. He slowly took a few steps towards Siegfried, extending his right hand and speaking sincerely.

"Please trust my sincerity, Mr. Siegfried. To be honest, I do not wish to become your enemy. I will order my troops to be stationed here. If this still does not alleviate your concerns, then we are willing to accept and fully cooperate with any reasonable conditions."

“Tsk… well, rashly starting a war with the First Herrscher here, which could lead to total annihilation, is certainly not a good idea.” Siegfried said, scratching his head helplessly, before striding over to Welt Yang and firmly grasping the outstretched hand.

“I’ve decided to believe you!” Siegfried looked at Walter Young with unwavering eyes. “If this incident is as serious as you’ve described, it could even have a huge impact on the entire world.”

“Then I believe that what is truly worth risking my life for is to do everything in my power to stop it! We absolutely cannot let this disaster happen.” Siegfried’s words were resounding.

Meanwhile, Otto, far away at the Schicksal headquarters, was lost in his memories. Suddenly, a rapid, urgent communication shattered the tranquility, instantly pulling Otto back to reality.

Otto sighed softly, a hint of weariness on his face, and slowly asked, "Could it be that there's new news from the Babylonian Laboratory?"

The words had barely left his lips when Amber's voice came through the communicator: "No, Your Excellency! According to Siegfried's latest report, they have discovered the leader of Anti-Entropy, the First Herrscher—Walter Yang—near the Tower of Babel!"

Along with this astonishing news, a detailed holographic image was also quickly transmitted to Otto.

'Walter?' When Otto heard these words, his previously calm eyes widened instantly. Even someone like him couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart upon hearing this name, and even felt a faint headache coming on.

Thoughts drifted back to the past, long-buried memories flooding back like a tide. 'Walter… the accounts from 1955 haven't been settled yet…'

Otto muttered to himself, his voice so low that only he could hear it. But then, another thought suddenly entered his mind.

'However, the fact that he personally came to the Babylon Laboratory this time suggests that, if my guess is correct, this incident is likely related to the Second Herrscher. Hmm, things are getting more and more interesting...'

Thinking of this, Otto's tense nerves relaxed slightly. He exhaled a breath of stale air and then instructed, "Immediately inform Siegfried of the situation here and tell him that no matter what happens, he must defend the Babylon Laboratory to the death and there can be no mistakes whatsoever!"

[Your Excellency, according to Siegfried, they have not yet engaged in any direct conflict with the First Herrscher. Surprisingly, the First Herrscher claims that his purpose in coming is merely to assist in the investigation of the Tower of Babel.]

Given the extreme urgency of the situation, Siegfried, after careful consideration, ultimately agreed to the First Herrscher's conditions and granted him permission to enter the Babylon Laboratory to conduct his investigation!

When this news reached Otto's ears, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "That utterly foolish fellow..."

Otto sighed inwardly, deeply dissatisfied with Siegfried's autocratic style of doing things, because the man's every move was so unpredictable and hard to fathom.

'Wait... This person isn't Walter!' Otto then narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the photo after reviewing the detailed profile displayed in the holographic image before him.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze swept quickly over the relevant information on the side, confirming that the people accompanying the First Herrscher were indeed Einstein and Tesla.

A flash of inspiration struck Otto, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

“If that’s the case… then there are at least three possibilities in the current situation.” Otto muttered to himself, gently stroking his chin as he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, having made up his mind, he slowly extended his right hand, gracefully smoothed his long golden hair, and then spoke unhurriedly.

"Immediately convey my instructions to Siegfried, and tell him that his decision this time was quite wise. After all, if he had chosen to rashly engage in battle with the First Herrscher in the Babylon Laboratory, the final outcome would probably only have been a lose-lose situation."

"In this way, it's utterly pointless for us! Since things have come to this, let's accept... that kind intention from Anti-Entropy..."

Meanwhile, on the snowy plains of Siegfried and Walter Young, Tesla had no choice but to lead the Titan forces to a remote location thirty kilometers away from the Tower of Babel, due to the agreement between Siegfried and Walter Young.

"Damn this messy hair! This is so unfair!" Dr. Tesla, who had just sneezed loudly, turned around and looked at the Titans standing guard behind him with a face full of indignation. His little mouth was so pouty that you could hang a water bottle on it!

'I'm sorry, Dr. Tesla.' At that moment, as if by telepathy, Einstein, inside the Tower of Babel, seemed to sense something and silently sent a heartfelt apology to Tesla, who was far away outside the tower.

He then turned his gaze to Theresa standing beside him and asked with a serious expression, "So, what is the current situation at the Schicksal headquarters?"

“Hmm… His Holiness the Bishop has granted your request.” Theresa slowly put down the communicator in her hand, let out a long sigh, and turned her gaze to Einstein and Walter Young standing in front of her.

She opened her mouth slightly, but ultimately chose to swallow silently, wanting to say something but not knowing how to begin.

Are you kidding me?! The Second Herrscher is still nowhere to be found, and now a First Herrscher has suddenly appeared. Is it some kind of gathering of Herrschers lately? This series of events is giving Theresa a real headache.

At that moment, Einstein broke the silence, "Thank you for your wise decision, Your Excellency. In my opinion, let's start our investigation with the Honkai Reactor."

As she spoke, she suddenly opened her eyes, her once calm gaze now devoid of any emotion, like two cold beams of light shooting straight at Theresa.

Stared at like that, Theresa couldn't help but shiver, but she still nodded calmly in agreement. However, what Einstein said next startled her even more.

"I wonder if you two are aware that there is a special prison located above this Honkai Reactor. This prison is not a regular cell; it is specifically used to detain experimental subjects!"

"Well... I just found out myself." Theresa hesitated for a moment before replying after hearing Einstein's words, her eyes flickering slightly.

"But rest assured, I have successfully rescued them all. Currently, Patrick is in charge of their care and support."

Theresa took a deep breath and continued, "When I discovered they were trapped, I took immediate action. Although it wasn't an easy process, everything went relatively smoothly."

At this moment, Einstein slightly turned to the side, a smile appearing on his face, and made way for Theresa. "That makes things much easier. Without further ado, please lead us to the location of those experimental subjects, as I have something very important to confirm!"

Just as everyone was preparing to follow Theresa, Walter Young, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Wait a moment, Miss Theresa."

"I have a question for you. I wonder if you have sent personnel to conduct a detailed investigation of the laboratory below that houses the Honkai reactor?"

Theresa pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then shook her head and replied, "Well... we didn't specifically send anyone to investigate further."

"I only went there once when Patrick and I first arrived at the Babylon Laboratory to conduct our investigation. It was there that we met Sirin, who called herself the Second Herrscher."

Theresa lowered her head slightly, remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on Walter Yang. She took a deep breath and began to recount the series of events that had occurred, but deliberately erased the existence of Chen Yuan.

Einstein, sitting to the side, slightly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Theresa, but he didn't say much, only nodding slightly to indicate that he understood the general situation.

At that moment, Walter Young closed his eyes tightly, concentrating on perceiving everything around him. Time seemed to freeze, and the entire room fell into silence.

Suddenly, Walter opened his eyes wide, a glint of light flashing in them, and without hesitation, he sprinted toward the laboratory containing the Honkai Reactor. "'She's' there!"

The sudden shout rang in Theresa and Siegfried's ears. They exchanged a glance, both seeing a look of shock in each other's eyes.

Without hesitation, he quickly followed Welt and they raced towards the laboratory where the Honkai Reactor was located.
