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

At the same time, a massive circular wave appeared without warning in the very center of the ruins.

The ripples spread rapidly outwards, like waves created by a boulder thrown into a calm lake. A colossal, fiery red robot slowly emerged from the ripples.

"Damn it...where am I?" Siegfried muttered under his breath as he shook his groggy head inside the robot.

The next second, before he could fully regain his balance, he fell awkwardly out of the hatch of Alahato.

Siegfried, who fell heavily to the ground, felt as if his brain was being stung by countless bees at the same time, and the whole world was spinning and shaking.

After a while, the dizziness subsided slightly. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he shouted, "That's right, where did Walter go!"

Before he could finish speaking, scenes from the past flooded his mind like a tide, with the last memory appearing especially vividly before his eyes, instantly waking Siegfried from his daze.

However, when he forced himself to stand up despite his discomfort and looked around, he was surprised to find that neither Walter Young nor Sirin had been seen.

What is presented before us is this ruin composed of a dozen or so thick and tall stone pillars.

"This place... must be the ruins that Dr. Einstein mentioned... but it always gives me a gloomy and chilly feeling."

Siegfried frowned and muttered to himself. With that, he walked with slightly heavy steps toward one of the pillars and bent down near the base of the pillar to pick up a small stone.

"This should be Soul Steel, right?" Siegfried stared at the few tattered fragments of Soul Steel in his hand, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind.

"With so few samples, and all of them so badly damaged, is it really possible to collect enough for research...?"

As he spoke, he sighed softly and carefully put away the Soul Steel in his hand. At the same time, he couldn't help but recall the scene when Einstein and Walter Young had given him the task.

Just an hour before the spacecraft was to launch, Einstein walked solemnly to Siegfried, holding a seemingly ordinary stone in his hand. “Mr. Siegfried, this is what you are to bring back, just as the leader initially described.”

"Among the meteorites that struck Earth, we were fortunate enough to discover these fragments of Soul Steel. If we can successfully extract the data contained within them, we may be able to find a way to seal the Honkai energy."

Upon hearing this, Siegfried took the oddly shaped stone from Einstein with a puzzled look on his face and examined it carefully.

However, when he saw this so-called soul steel, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but complain, "This is soul steel? It looks so unremarkable..."

The surface of the fragments of soul steel was uneven and extremely rough, its color dull and lifeless. This was completely different from the dazzling treasure that Siegfried had originally imagined.

Gently stroking the stone and feeling its rough texture, Siegfried couldn't help but wonder, could such an ordinary stone really possess the technology to unlock the seal of Honkai energy?

"That's right, this is Soul Steel. During our previous operation, we unexpectedly discovered an ancient ruin on the moon."

"Based on various signs and clues, we boldly speculate that the ruins hidden deep beneath the lunar surface may contain an astonishing number of Soul Steel samples."

"However, regrettably, the ruins are surrounded by powerful Honkai energy, and the expedition team sent by Anti-Entropy cannot get close at all. But if it were you, with your high adaptability to Honkai energy, the situation might be very different."

“That’s the general situation, Siegfried.” After listening to Einstein’s detailed explanation, Walter Young gazed thoughtfully at his hands.

After a moment of silence, the latter raised his head. "The biggest problem facing us right now is that Second Herald. But rest assured, I will do my best to buy you enough time."

After saying that, Walter Young slowly stood up, walked straight to Siegfried, and then gently patted the latter's shoulder a few times with his right hand.

"At that time, please follow your heart's truest voice and move forward without any worries. You will definitely be able to make the right choice."

"What's wrong? First Herrscher, is all you can do is run around like a frightened rabbit? Hahahaha~"

Time passed, and the scene instantly shifted to the present. In the very center of the battlefield, Walter Yang was using all his strength to dodge Sirin's attacks with all his might.

In contrast, Sirin floated calmly and leisurely in mid-air, surrounded by several "sub-aerial spears" that gleamed with cold light, like stars surrounding the moon.

Those playful eyes watched with amusement as Walter Young thrashed about awkwardly on the lunar surface below, and he quipped, "Keep going, let me have some more fun!"

Walter Young gritted his teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, a deep anxiety washing over him.

At this moment, the battle situation was extremely unfavorable for him, and he had no idea where Siegfried was at this time.

Although Chen Yuan had previously said that he would send Siegfried to collect samples of Soul Steel, who could definitively say whether what he said was true or false?

"Given my current physical condition... I should be able to hold on," Walter Yang muttered to himself, clenching his fist tightly.

"Since that's the case, then let me show you the true power of the First Herrscher in its complete form!"

However, in the next instant, Welt Yang had already tried his best to activate the Herrscher Core, but surprisingly, the Herrscher Core, which should have responded to him, did not react at all!

The power that he used to control with ease, as if directing his own arm, now seemed to be firmly sealed by an invisible shackle.

"What on earth is going on..." Faced with such a bizarre situation, Walter Yang was stunned and completely baffled.

Meanwhile, not far away, Chen Yuan, who was leisurely sitting on Bella's shoulder, raised the corners of his mouth slightly upon seeing this, revealing a sly smile that was barely perceptible.

It would be strange if it could be used! After healing Welt Yang's injured body, his symbiote seemed to have disappeared on the surface, but in fact, it had already quietly covered the Herrscher core completely.

"Lord Chenyuan, are we just going to stand by and do nothing? Shouldn't we go and lend a hand?" Bella, sitting on a huge rock nearby, couldn't help but ask. "What if something happens to Her Majesty the Queen..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan waved his hand gently and replied confidently, "No need to rush. With Walter Yang's current strength, he is no match for Sirin. Let Sirin vent her anger to her heart's content."

"After all, that sudden missile attack really angered this little girl, and she must have been holding a lot of resentment in her heart."

Having said that, Chen Yuan couldn't help but silently mourn for Walter Yang. Even though he had witnessed him being treated this way, Chen Yuan still felt somewhat uneasy.

However, compared to Celine's current feelings, this was nothing. What difference would it make if Celine punched him a few times first? She was confident she could eventually save him with her own abilities.

Just then, as soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, Bella suddenly stood up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Walter Young, who was dodging left and right on the battlefield, desperately trying to avoid various attacks.

"Lord Chenyuan, what you just said was an indication that I could also take action?" His words revealed a sense of eagerness to try.

Clearly, Bella was already itching to teach this man, whom she loathed, a lesson she couldn't suppress.

The focus shifted back to the battlefield. Sirin once more waved her hand, and in an instant, several gleaming, ethereal spears shot towards Walter Yang like arrows released from a bow.

Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, the latter's expression instantly became serious. He dared not be negligent in the slightest and suddenly dodged to the side.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and narrowly avoided the aerial spears that flew towards him like shadows.

With a deafening roar, the sub-space spears that had missed their targets plunged deep into the lunar surface, embedding themselves there.

The original lunar surface was instantly blasted into a huge crater, with dust flying everywhere and smoke billowing in.

Gazing at the horrifying scene before him, Walter Yang wiped the cold sweat from his brow with lingering fear. "Hmph! I told you long ago, with your sluggish speed, you wouldn't even scratch me!"

“Attack? How boring.” Sirin’s lips curled up slightly, forming a mocking smile that contained an undeniable contempt. “I’ve just been playing around, wanting to see your despair.”
