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

Time ticked by, and two full hours had passed since the message from Xilin was received. A heavy, oppressive atmosphere filled the ward; even the air seemed to freeze.

Siegfried leaned quietly against the wall, his gaze fixed on the figure on the hospital bed—Walter Young. That once handsome face now appeared exceptionally pale, his eyes revealing deep weariness and helplessness.

“70 hours left…” Siegfried murmured to himself, his voice low. Every minute and every second was so precious to them, yet facing their current predicament, Siegfried felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness.

'Otto still refuses to see me! If the First Herrscher really goes to the moon on a mission, even if we manage to stop the first meteorite impact, without your help, Welt, how can we possibly withstand Sirin's subsequent actions?'

Thinking about this, Siegfried became increasingly anxious. He irritably ruffled his hair, seemingly trying to release the pressure and anxiety that was building up inside him.

Just then, Walter Yang, who had been silent all along, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the somewhat frantic Siegfried beside him and sighed helplessly, "Hey, Siegfried, I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing Welt's voice, Siegfried sprang to his feet as if struck by lightning, rushed to the bedside, and asked urgently, "Here! First Herrscher, please speak! Have you come up with a good idea?"

"At this point, it seems there are no better options left, and going to the moon has become the only viable path."

“However, before I go, there is one small favor I need to ask of you.” Walter Yang slowly stood up, walked to the back of the wardrobe, gently opened the door, and took out the garment that was of great significance to him.

“I would like to ask you for a small favor.” Walter Young turned around, looked calmly at Siegfried in front of him, and said softly, “Could you please make contact with Bishop Otto for me? I have some important matters to discuss with him.”

Upon hearing this, Siegfried paused slightly, his pupils involuntarily contracting. After a brief silence, he nodded slightly in agreement.

“Okay, I’ll try to get in touch with Otto. But… I’m not so sure if he’ll be willing to respond to my request.” There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

“He will definitely respond, absolutely!” Walter Yang replied decisively, his tone leaving no room for doubt. He then turned his gaze to the window, where the picturesque scenery of the Siberian snowfield unfolded before him.

But for some reason, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes for a moment, and at that moment, no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Siegfried led Walter Young and Einstein slowly into the spacious and bright reception room of the Tower of Babel.

As soon as he entered, Siegfried scratched his slightly messy hair a little embarrassedly, and then said, "Hey, you really guessed right!"

"When I told that man that you wanted to see him, I didn't expect him to agree so readily."

Then, Siegfried paused briefly before adding, "His Holiness the Bishop is on his way here. I estimate he'll be here in about five minutes."

"Unfortunately, since this meeting was top secret, they never intended for me to participate."

"Hmph, all this secrecy, I wonder what they're plotting!" After saying this, Siegfried seemed to suddenly remember something, abruptly turned around, and strode towards the door.

As he walked, he waved his right hand casually and shouted, "Alright, since I can't attend this important meeting, I'll just go to the training field and kill some time."

"If you guys need any help later, don't forget to look for me over at the training field!"

As soon as Siegfried finished speaking, his figure vanished swiftly outside the door. In an instant, only Einstein and Walter Young remained in the large drawing room.

Walter Young sat quietly on the sofa, the crisp ticking of the clock clearly audible to him. His eyes remained fixed on the doorway.

Less than five minutes later, the door was slowly pushed open from the outside, making a soft, muffled sound.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure appeared in the doorway. Otto gracefully carried a glass of blood-red wine and walked into the room with unhurried steps.

The latter had a faint smile on his lips, and his gaze first fell on Dr. Einstein sitting on the sofa, and he said softly.

"It's been a long time, dear Dr. Einstein. I wonder how you've been lately?" With that, he slightly raised his wine glass in a gesture of acknowledgment.

Then, Otto turned his gaze to Walter Yang on the other side, his face still bearing that enigmatic smile, and said, "Oh, and the leader of Anti-Entropy, esteemed Mr. Walter. Come to think of it, how many times have we met now?"

Just then, Otto seemed to suddenly remember something important, and his pace gradually slowed down as he slowly walked towards Walter Young's direction.

When he finally reached Walter Young, he paused for a moment, then slowly bent down, bringing his face only a few centimeters away from Walter Young.

At the same time, he said in a tone that seemed concerned but also contained a hidden meaning, "I heard that Mr. Walter was unfortunately seriously injured in a fierce battle not long ago. It's truly a pity..."

“However, it just so happens that I have some knowledge of medicine, which may be of some help to you.” As he spoke, Otto’s handsome face was almost touching Walter Young’s face!

However, faced with such close contact and Otto's meaningful words, Walter Young showed no sign of backing down.

Instead, Walter Young coughed lightly twice. Then he closed his eyes, his brow furrowed slightly, showing obvious impatience.

At the same time, an incredibly powerful energy surged forth from Walter Yang's body. It was the power contained within the Star of Eden, now surging and churning around him like a raging tide.

Walter Young coldly replied, "Enough, Otto! Stop with these pointless probing."

"If you simply want to know whether I can still use the power of a Herrscher, then I can give you a clear answer right now!"

As the words fell, the power of the Star of Eden grew increasingly violent and rampant, engulfing the entire room in its dazzling light.

"Hmph." Upon hearing this, Otto couldn't help but let out a contemptuous sneer. Then he slowly straightened up, a half-smile on his face.

"Mr. Welt is certainly joking. Faced with the powerful Second Herrscher, shouldn't we put aside our past grievances and cooperate? After all, only in this way do we have a chance of survival."

However, Einstein seemed somewhat impatient with Otto's words. He frowned slightly, looked at Otto with a hint of displeasure, and said in a deep voice.

"Alright, Your Grace, please stop wasting your time on these trivial matters. The situation is urgent, and we have no time to waste on this." With that, she waved her hand gently, signaling to get to the point.

At that moment, Otto and Walter Young simultaneously turned their gazes to Einstein. She waved her hands again, and in an instant, a clear and lifelike holographic image suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Your Excellency is probably aware that our Anti-Entropy organization once discovered an ancient civilization site in North America."

"As for the fact that Honkai energy cannot be completely eliminated, I believe everyone here is aware of that," Einstein continued solemnly. "However, fortunately..."

"According to the precious information preserved in that ruin, in the previous era, an outstanding scientist successfully mastered an advanced technology that could seal Honkai energy."

At this point, Einstein sighed deeply, and a hint of disappointment, which he had previously found hard to conceal, appeared in his usually calm eyes.

Einstein slowly shook his head and said softly, "It's just a bit of a pity that, after we searched day and night for almost every possible relic that might contain relevant records,..."

"But in the end, we found nothing, not even a trace of information about this method. However, fortunately, when we turned our attention to the moon..."

"We've finally made a breakthrough—we have indeed successfully located the sealed Honkai energy! This discovery powerfully proves that the method is not just a figment of imagination, but truly exists in this world!"

At this moment, Otto, who had been listening quietly, slightly swirled the glass of red wine in his hand, its color as vibrant as a jewel. A faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips as he responded with a slightly teasing tone.

"Haha, Dr. Einstein, you're really joking. If such a miraculous technology that could seal Honkai energy truly existed in the world..."

"So, for all of humanity, doesn't that mean we now possess a powerful weapon to resist the threat of Honkai?"

"It's a pity that even an organization as powerful as Destiny, after exploring numerous ruins over many years, has still not found any trace of this technology. It's truly regrettable..."
