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

The moment the giant hammer swung down, Cecilia's body swayed violently. She staggered, and a mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, scattering in the air.

Despite this, Cecilia gritted her teeth, relying on astonishing willpower to support her body, refusing to collapse. Slowly turning around, her blood-soaked battle armor fluttered in the wind like a battle flag!

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised by Cecilia's tenacity. But then he snorted coldly, gripped the enormous hammer tightly with both hands, and raised it high above his head once more.

He was surrounded by a dense black aura. "You're really stubborn to the point of being frightening," Chen Yuan said in a low voice with a gloomy expression, his voice clearly revealing an undisguised impatience.

Having said that, he swung the giant hammer in his hand fiercely, bringing with it a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, and smashed it down on Cecilia again with overwhelming force.

However, faced with this fierce attack, Cecilia did not retreat even a step. Instead, she pushed off with her feet and rushed forward like an arrow.

He slightly lowered his body, just avoiding the terrifying attack range of the giant hammer. Then, he raised his hand and gently wiped away the traces of blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Go, Black Abyss!" Cecilia shouted. Before her words had even finished, she flicked her wrist, and the scattered Black Abyss white flowers instantly reassembled.

The incredibly sharp spear tip pointed straight at Chen Yuan's location, then shot out like lightning, piercing deep into Chen Yuan's body in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the "Withering" ability was activated, and a strange power surged out from the tip of the spear, frantically eroding Chen Yuan's body.

"Finally caught you!" Cecilia shouted through gritted teeth, a triumphant smile spreading across her face.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened. Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly began to laugh wildly, "Haha...hahahahaha...no, I should say I caught you!!"

The next second, a shocking scene unfolded. The wound where the Black Abyss White Flower had pierced so deeply suddenly burst open, and countless symbiotes surged out like a raging torrent.

These symbiotes coiled and twisted at an alarming speed, instantly binding Cecilia's limbs tightly and rendering her completely immobile.

What's even more unexpected is that the "withering" power possessed by the Black Abyss completely lost its effect when facing Dust Fate, and those symbiotes were not affected by this power at all.

"You should just get some sleep! It would be much easier for both of us." With these teasing words from Chen Yuan, the giant hammer he had been gripping transformed into an incredibly sharp longsword.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan, wielding the gleaming broadsword, mercilessly thrust it towards Cecilia's body. In an instant, the blade pierced through Cecilia's flesh without resistance, drawing a trail of crimson blood.

Cecilia's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She looked down at her body, which had been pierced through, and intense pain washed over her like a tidal wave.

Crimson blood gushed from the wound like a burst dam, flowing rapidly onto the ground and staining the surrounding area a shocking red.

"Well then, beautiful Ms. Cecilia~ Farewell~" Chen Yuan said with a light laugh. At this moment, Cecilia felt her eyelids growing heavier and her vision gradually blurring.

Through her blurry, tear-filled eyes, she could only vaguely see Chen Yuan slowly walking towards her, his figure gradually becoming clearer, but she was powerless to resist...

'His brainwaves suddenly became abnormally erratic...' On the other side, in the anti-entropy research room, Einstein stared intently at the instrument displaying Siegfried's brainwave status, two large beads of sweat unconsciously sliding down his forehead.

'This is bad. If this continues, it could lead to unforeseen consequences. We can't hesitate any longer; we must stop the experiment immediately!'

Einstein pondered to herself, but just as she raised her hand to reach for the control device on Siegfried's body, an unexpected turn of events suddenly occurred.

With a "whoosh," Siegfried, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. At the same time, the lenses of the glasses he was wearing shattered without warning, turning into countless tiny fragments that scattered in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, the latter let out a deafening roar, and then with lightning speed, leaped up from the chair beneath him and stood up steadily.

Shockingly, Siegfried's eyes were no longer the normal color of a human's, but had turned into a deep and eerie cyan-blue.

Moreover, huge, crystal-clear blocks of ice, radiating a chilling aura, instantly appeared in the space around his body.

"Calm down, Siegfried..." Before he could finish speaking, Siegfried had already strode towards Einstein. However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.

A glowing portal suddenly materialized behind Siegfried, and at the same time, a calm, emotionless voice rang out: "Honestly, what trouble have you gotten yourself into now?"

In an instant, a dazzling torrent of red gravity surged forth like a tidal wave, sweeping straight towards Siegfried. This powerful force instantly acted upon his body.

It was as if an incredibly heavy mountain had crashed down, pinning him firmly to the ground. Poor Siegfried didn't even have time to react before he was firmly bound by this force, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move an inch.

On the other side, Einstein stared intently at the portal, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief. As the figure slowly emerged from the portal...

Einstein's eyes widened in surprise, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks without warning.

However, the former quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and her slightly trembling lips unexpectedly turned up at this moment, forming a faint smile. "Welcome home..."

Time passed slowly, and about 45 minutes later, Siegfried sat on the sofa with an embarrassed smile, looking at Einstein across from him with a somewhat evasive gaze, and said in an apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Einstein, just now... I really couldn't control myself."

"It's alright, I wasn't hurt at all, I was just startled." Upon hearing this, Einstein, who was sitting to the side, nodded slightly and gently picked up the delicate teacup in his hand.

He took an elegant sip of his black tea, then set the cup down, calmly looking at Siegfried across from him, and continued, "I have already conducted a detailed and in-depth analysis of the previous surveillance data."

The atmosphere in the room grew somewhat heavy. Siegfried held his breath, waiting for Einstein to continue. After a brief pause, the latter spoke again.

"At that moment, I detected the energy reaction of Honkai Beasts inside your body. And according to further observation and research..."

"It was discovered that when you were in a berserk state, those ice blocks that suddenly appeared out of nowhere were most likely caused by the special ability of this Honkai Beast."

Upon hearing this, Siegfried abruptly raised his head, looking at his palm with a complex expression, and muttered to himself, "The Judgment of Heavenly Fire... when it fully unleashes its power."

"Those who use it will inevitably face the immense risk of being reduced to ashes by the flames. However, according to legend, the ancestors of the Kaslana family possessed the extraordinary ability to tame and control this terrifying flame..."

"Could it be that I really inherited this power?" Siegfried frowned deeply, a complex expression on his face.

"So, this legend might actually be true!" Upon hearing this, Einstein slowly stood up, walked to the cabinet next to him, and took out an exquisite tea set.

She gracefully placed the tea leaves into the teapot, poured in hot water, and after a brief steeping, a delicate aroma of tea filled the air. Then she poured Siegfried a steaming cup of black tea and presented it to him.

"Based on the clues and data I currently have, it is highly likely that the ancestors of the Kaslana family were able to survive to this day by fusing the DNA of Honkai Beasts."

Einstein spoke slowly and deliberately, tapping his fingers lightly on the table to aid his thinking. "However, after hundreds and thousands of generations of reproduction, this special DNA has gradually become less active in the process of heredity."

"That's why when the power of the Honkai Beast within you is activated, it can only last for a few seconds before quickly dissipating."

"Thank you for the explanation. I roughly understand the reason now." Siegfried nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then reached out and took the warm cup of black tea. However, his brows furrowed tightly.

"But Doctor, for me, the most urgent matter is how to control this power. After all, the current situation is extremely pressing, and we simply don't have much time to waste..."

Just as Siegfried was anxiously trying to continue explaining his concerns, a sudden voice interrupted him.

"Mr. Siegfried, please set your questions aside for now." As these words were spoken, a hand landed on Siegfried's shoulder without warning.

The moment he felt the weight, Siegfried's body trembled violently, as if he had been electrocuted. Then, his face filled with astonishment, he slowly turned his head in disbelief.

"You are... Walter Yang? You're still alive?"
