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

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were gathering and piling up at an astonishing speed, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand.

The thick, inky clouds pressed lower and lower, heavily shrouding the earth and creating a suffocating sense of oppression, as if foreshadowing a terrible disaster about to befall humanity.

Faced with this scene, Chen Yuan simply stretched out his arms as if nothing had happened, giving a long, lazy yawn. In this world gradually being swallowed by darkness, his figure appeared so tiny.

Almost at the same moment he completed the action, the dark clouds suddenly accelerated and condensed into huge, pitch-black cloud masses. Like surging black waves, they rolled and roared violently in the sky.

A deafening clap of thunder suddenly exploded, making people's eardrums ache, and a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly cleaved through the thick clouds.

In an instant, the entire Siberian region was illuminated as bright as day by this sudden flash of lightning. In that brief moment of light, Chen Yuan's figure became clearly visible…

----------

"BOOM!!!!!" Time had lost its meaning at this moment. No one knew how much time had passed when suddenly, a series of earth-shattering explosions erupted from the sky.

Chen Yuan, who had been keeping his head down, slowly raised it upon hearing the sudden sound. His eyes narrowed slightly as he thought to himself, "So they've finally arrived?"

Just then, amidst the deafening roar, clusters of dazzling light plummeted down like meteors, tearing through the inky black night sky and crashing heavily to the ground.

"My God, just how much does Otto want to kill Siegfried? He actually launched so many Honkai Fission Bombs at once!"

Gazing at the countless missile formations densely packed in the sky, Chen Yuan couldn't help but gasp, swallowing hard. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he shook his head helplessly.

The next moment, Chen Yuan's figure vanished from the spot. At the same time, a violent hurricane suddenly rose up from beneath his feet, its powerful force tearing the surrounding air apart.

With the help of this terrifying wind, Chen Yuan shot towards the sky at an astonishing speed, like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight for the dazzling lights that were falling continuously.

As they rose into the air, Chen Yuan, who had been in a symbiotic relationship with Xi Lin, suddenly emerged from Xi Lin's body without warning, breaking the symbiotic relationship.

Immediately afterwards, the body changed at an astonishing speed, transforming in the blink of an eye into a vast, sky-covering net that spread out majestically towards the sky.

"Brother..." At the same time, Xilin also opened one eye with great difficulty.

Having just broken free of the symbiotic relationship, she felt an indescribable emptiness throughout her body, as if her entire being was being drained.

Faced with this situation, she tried her best to move her body, but found that she was powerless and could only barely lift her arm.

"Don't... leave Sirin... please... brother..." Sirin cried out hoarsely, every word filled with endless pleading.

However, no matter how hard she struggled, the distance between her and Chen Yuan continued to widen rapidly, like an arrow released from a bow, and she was about to completely lose sight of him.

'I'm sorry, Sirin, I absolutely cannot let you get involved in this high-stakes gamble with such a slim chance of winning!' Chenyuan, who had now transformed into a giant net, looked down at Sirin's despairing eyes and felt a sharp pang in his heart.

But now that things had come to this, he knew he had no choice but to harden his heart and continue with the established plan. In the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan's body trembled violently.

Several spurts of viscous liquid shot out from it, instantly hitting Sirin and quickly enveloping her.

In the blink of an eye, the latter was as if he had been put into a huge black sphere, and then with a dull thud, he crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Watching Xilin, encased in black slime and slumped to the ground, fall to the ground, Chen Yuan was filled with complex emotions. Although he knew it was for Xilin's own good, seeing her helpless state still made him feel as if a million ants were gnawing at his heart.

At this critical moment, the first Honkai Fission Bomb crashed into the large net formed by Dust Fate with tremendous force.

Instantly, a deafening roar exploded, as if the entire sky had been torn apart by the sound. Immediately afterward, a raging fire shot into the air.

The surroundings were illuminated as if it were day or night. Looking around, the giant net was engulfed by a sea of ​​fire, as if one were in a purgatory after the apocalypse.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was using all his strength to control himself and resist one Honkai energy fission bomb after another that was falling rapidly like raindrops.

The impact of each fission bomb colliding with the giant net was like a heavy hammer slamming into his body, causing it to tremble violently involuntarily.

The pain was deep in his bones, as if countless sharp blades were simultaneously cutting through his muscles, bones, and internal organs, making Chen Yuan feel as if his body would shatter completely like broken porcelain at any moment.

The energy contained in the Honkai Fission Bomb was simply too terrifying. Even though Chen Yuan had used all his strength, the giant net still gradually showed cracks under wave after wave of fierce attacks.

The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, making the entire web precarious. At the same time, the symbiont on the surface was sizzling under the intense heat.

However, faced with this situation, Chen Yuan showed no sign of backing down. He clenched his teeth tightly, even though the excruciating pain in his body almost made him faint.

But the former, with unwavering willpower, stubbornly persevered, exerting all its strength to maintain the stability of the giant net. "Damn it! Lust for gems, get moving, you bastards!!!"

As the roar of anger resounded from within, the net formed from worldly ties was instantly enveloped by a layer of faint light.

The hideous and terrifying wounds that originally covered the giant web disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye!

Moreover, the giant net expanded rapidly at an astonishing rate, its area more than doubling in size.

"Whether it's life or death, success or failure hinges on this!" Feeling his body suddenly become much lighter, Chen Yuan exerted all his strength to control the giant net that looked like a piece of cloth being hoisted high.

With lightning speed, it pounced on the oncoming Honkai energy fission bombs and successfully trapped them all inside the net.

Before long, all the Honkai energy fission bombs were completely enveloped by Chen Yuan. From a distance, the giant net looked like an enormous sphere, silently floating in the air.

However, the next moment, as if a fuse had been lit, a deafening and earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted.

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, Chen Yuan gritted his teeth, using his body, which had transformed into a giant net, to desperately support himself and resist the immense, world-destroying impact and the endless pain that followed.

The raging flames, like a ferocious beast, mercilessly licked the surrounding air, illuminating the sphere with flickering light. The symbiote also writhed and struggled in agony under the violent impact of the explosion.

Chen Yuan's consciousness gradually became blurred amidst the violent energy fluctuations, and dreamlike scenes began to appear before his eyes.

The images of several girls flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern; some were smiling, some were crying, and those familiar faces made Chen Yuan's heart tremble.

A powerful will to survive surged within him, and Chen Yuan roared inwardly, "Aaaaaah—!"

With this desperate shout, his previously chaotic consciousness instantly returned to clarity. He used all his strength to maintain the shape of the net.

Each explosion's aftershocks felt like a heavy hammer blow to Chen Yuan, the excruciating pain making him never want to experience it again.

Time ticked by, and deafening explosions continued to echo across the skies of Siberia.

And on that giant net, the illusory light slowly dimmed with time. Like a warrior stubbornly resisting to the very last moment?

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the continuous explosions gradually subsided. In the sky ravaged by war, the giant net formed by karmic ties silently vanished.

Instead, streaks of black, viscous liquid, like beads from a broken string, slowly fell from the sky to the ground, tracing arcs in the air.

Before it could even land on the ground, it turned into several particles of light and disappeared. Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a pure black space, without a single ray of light.

"Damn it, where am I? What happened to the Honkai energy fission bomb?!" Thinking of this, Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and struggled to sit up. His whole body felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and every muscle was aching.

[The second Great Collapse dungeon simulation has ended. Rewards will be distributed upon returning to the real world.] The next second, a ball of light appeared in front of him, and the system's voice entered Chen Yuan's mind.

But before he could even feel excited, the system's voice echoed in his mind once more. [Special situation detected, reward cannot be issued. Individual Dust Fate—dead!]
