"Once we leave the Tower of Babel, you stay close to me. We'll stay on the roof of the carriage together and do our best to clear out the Honkai Beasts around us."

"However, remember one thing: absolutely do not get entangled in a prolonged battle with them, because the most crucial objective of this operation is to safely evacuate this place! After all, the people inside this vehicle are all..."

However, before Salome could finish speaking, a series of hurried and frantic footsteps approached from afar.

Immediately afterward, an attendant rushed in like a whirlwind, his face already flushed with tension now dripping with sweat, panting as he shouted, "Lady Salome, something terrible has happened!!!"

Upon hearing this, Salome shuddered, her heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition washed over her. Her eyes widened, and she urgently demanded, "What happened? Tell me!"

The accompanying person calmed his breathing slightly and replied anxiously, "All the exits of the hangar have been blocked by hordes of Honkai Beasts. We are now trapped here and in a dilemma!"

"What did you say?!" Salome exclaimed in shock, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowing into slits, filled with astonishment, fear, and deep despair.

Then, as if all her strength had been drained, she slumped her head and muttered to herself, "Why did this happen? Why did it have to happen at such a crucial moment? Senior Theresa just left here not long ago..."

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the hangar, Sirin floated silently in the air like a solitary violet. A gentle breeze caressed her silky purple hair, and sunlight fell on her fair skin, casting a soft glow.

Bella stood quietly beside Celine like a submissive maid. Her head was slightly bowed, her hands clasped in front of her, and her gaze followed her mistress's every move.

Looking around, all around were countless Honkai Beasts, densely packed and overwhelming. They roared or growled, as if waiting for Sirin to give an order.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Bella finally couldn't help but ask softly.

Celine turned her head slightly, a complex expression on her beautiful face. "What else can I do but go home? Although this place does hold many unpleasant memories, it is still the place where my brother and I first met."

At this point, Sirin couldn't help but sigh softly, her gaze slowly shifting to the tightly closed hangar door. Her eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia, mixed with a touch of resentment.

He muttered to himself, "How long are these ungrateful bastards going to stay at someone else's house! If my brother hadn't stopped me, I probably would have..."

However, before Xilin could finish speaking, a loud 'rumble' was heard, and the heavy door in front of her slowly opened a crack.

Immediately afterwards, several rugged-looking off-road vehicles sped out from the door crack like wild horses. And on the roof of the lead off-road vehicle, Salome stood steadily.

"How could this be... that person is actually... the Second Herrscher!" Salome's pupils contracted sharply, and her heart felt as if it had instantly plunged into an abyss.

Since her vehicle was the first one to leave the hangar, she immediately spotted Sirin not far ahead. Her figure exuded a chilling aura, looming over her like a nightmare.

The Honkai Beasts, blotting out the sky, pressed in like dark clouds, their ferocious and terrifying faces intertwined with their sharp, piercing roars, creating an apocalyptic scene.

The horrific scene was enough to instill despair in Salome and the others, but now, with the addition of the powerful Sirin, the situation has become even more critical.

Salome had always been known for her elegance and composure, but at this moment, faced with such a desperate situation, she even felt an urge to curse. However, her cultivated manners over the years allowed her to forcefully suppress this emotion.

"Hmm? So you've finally decided to leave someone else's house, huh? As expected, none of the people from the Fated Ones are any good." Xilin looked at the approaching convoy, gave a contemptuous sneer, and then waved her hand lightly.

"There's no other way. I can only hope that my strength can hold on..." Salome gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart.

Without hesitation, he turned around and shouted to the vehicles behind him, "All vehicles, listen up! Proceed at full speed! Ignore everything else and get out of here! Every vehicle that manages to evacuate is a success!"

After saying these words, Salome took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes fixed on the Western Fortress not far ahead.

Her originally fair and slender fingers involuntarily clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, causing a slight stinging sensation, but this did not distract her at all.

Not only that, even her legs began to tremble uncontrollably, as if they would collapse to the ground at any moment, unable to support her body weight.

"So, it's almost my turn to bring this final performance to a close... Nicholas, everything from now on is in your hands!"

Thinking of this, she slowly turned her head and gave Nicholas, who was perched on the roof of the last car, a faint smile.

Although her smile seemed relaxed, it contained an endless determination. Then, without hesitation, she leaped off the roof of the car like a nimble bird.

In the instant of falling through the air, Salome quickly activated her onboard superconducting magnetic field device and turned its power to the maximum.

A powerful magnetic field emanated from her and spread outwards, forming a dazzling yellow-green light.

"Salome? You...you mean you're planning to..." With just a brief glance from Salome, Nicholas immediately understood what his close partner was up to.

Her heart clenched, and an indescribable worry welled up inside her. Almost without hesitation, Nicholas instinctively wanted to jump out of the car after her and stand by Salome's side to face the impending danger together.

However, just as she was about to jump, Salome's words suddenly flashed through her mind. Those words struck Nicholas's heart like a heavy hammer, forcing her to stop.

In the end, Nicholas could only bite his lip so hard that it bled. With all his might, he turned his head away, unable to bear looking at the receding, utterly lonely figure.

Because she was afraid that if she continued to watch, she might lose her last shred of reason and rush forward recklessly.

However, something unexpected happened the next second. Just as Salome was preparing to do everything in her power to buy Nicholas and the others even a brief respite.

The menacing Honkai Beasts in front of them retreated like a tide, creating a considerable distance between them.

Not only that, even Celine and Bella, who were at the very front of the group, were no exception. They gracefully flew upwards and quickly left their original positions.

Salome stared in disbelief as the SUVs sped past Celine's encirclement, leaving her alone and floating in the air, completely at a loss.

"Salome!!! You idiot!!!" Immediately following, Nicholas's furious roar echoed from afar. Judging from his angry tone, she was probably about to explode with rage.

At this moment, Salome was still somewhat bewildered. She had no idea what had happened to cause such a dramatic scene.

Meanwhile, watching the SUVs drive away and disappear from sight, Xilin stretched lazily and said casually.

"Alright, Bella, let's go back. The First Herrscher's body still needs to be properly taken care of." With that, she turned and flew towards the Tower of Babel, completely unconcerned about what had just happened.

“Um… Your Majesty…” Just then, Bella gently tugged at Sirin’s skirt and pointed to Salome, who was disheveled in the snow. “I don’t know why, but there’s still one person left…”

"What did you say?" Sirin was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She looked in the direction Bella was pointing and saw Salome standing alone in the snow, looking rather desolate.

"Heh, those chosen by fate are really troublesome." A hint of displeasure flashed in Sirin's eyes as she slowly floated down in front of Salome.

Salome gritted her teeth, her face cold and stern, staring intently at Sirin in front of her. Although she was already panicking inside, she still forced herself not to show any fear.

"Valkyrie of Destiny, are you really that eager to die?" Sirin raised an eyebrow, her tone laced with contempt. "I've already let you go, yet you still dare to stay?"

Salome was speechless with bitterness. Who knew you weren't planning to attack us? What was supposed to be a cool thing had turned into something that made me look like a clown.

"Tch, if it weren't for my brother..." Seeing Salome's stammering, Sirin snorted and then snapped her fingers, and a portal appeared at Salome's feet.

"Huh?" Salome hadn't even reacted before she fell straight in. After seeing her disappear, Sirin sighed softly, then waved to Bella. "Let's go home..."
