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

These torrents of data, as if possessing a life of their own, tumbled and twisted in the air. "Mr. Chenyuan, can I trust you? Please give me a clear answer, otherwise..."

Faced with Walter Yang's questioning, Chen Yuan did not back down at all. He suddenly stood up, and his previously calm body underwent an astonishing transformation.

Black symbiotes, like serpents, emerged from under his skin, coiling around his limbs and body, emanating an eerie and dangerous aura.

“Of course you can trust me!” Chen Yuan replied, his voice leaving no room for doubt. “As long as Theresa and the others are safe and sound, I will be your most trustworthy friend!”

However, he paused slightly, his face darkening. "But if anything happens to them, I'm afraid even I won't be able to control myself. At that point, I might become a hundred times more insane than Otto!"

The two stood facing each other, the atmosphere between them seemingly frozen, neither willing to give an inch.

Time ticked by, and finally, Walter Young broke the deadlock. He sighed helplessly, nodded slightly, and slowly began to speak.

“Alright, Mr. Chenyuan, I think I understand what you mean. However, I still hope that you can keep your promise and not deceive me.”

Then, Walter Yang turned his gaze to the serene gem in Chen Yuan's hand, which was radiating a mysterious light, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and began to describe the gem in detail, “This tranquil gem has potential that is simply beyond imagination.”

"It not only includes the two extreme forces of creation and destruction, but more astonishingly, it may have the potential to create life!"

At this point, Walter Young paused briefly, seemingly to gather his thoughts, before continuing.

"However, the creation of life is ultimately just a conjecture. After all, creating life in the true sense out of thin air is simply too fantastical and bizarre."

"Even if we could really do this with the help of the Tranquility Gem, what we would create would probably just be an empty shell, devoid of any soul."

“I am naturally aware of this matter.” After hearing Walter Yang’s words, Chen Yuan nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with his point of view. Because in the original storyline, there was a similar scene.

Sirin attempted to use the power of the Tranquility Gem to recreate her mother, but the result was disappointing. The created body was indistinguishable from a real person on the outside, but it was empty inside and had no soul.

"It's good that you understand. You absolutely mustn't do anything crazy! Remember, we're just ordinary human beings, not omnipotent gods!"

Walter Young spoke with a serious expression, his voice growing increasingly forceful. At that moment, the atmosphere became unusually heavy, as if the air itself had frozen.

Walter Young stared intently at the person in front of him, his eyes flashing with wariness. After a moment, he calmed himself slightly and then asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, your goal is to fuse the Tranquility Gem with the Law of Reason, right? That way, the weapon you create will possess the power of creation and destruction."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan calmly clapped his hands, a faint smile on his face, indicating his approval of Walter Yang's guess.

"Hehe, as expected of Mr. Walter Yang, you are indeed clever and guessed my intention immediately. That's right, this is indeed one of the important reasons why I came to Anti-Entropy."

Chen Yuan replied with a smile, his gaze meeting Walter Yang's without flinching, and an invisible spark ignited between them.

"Whether the Tranquility Gem is ultimately used for restoration or destruction, as long as the two powers it contains can be perfectly integrated with the Law of Reason."

"Then without a doubt, my combat ability will be greatly improved!" As he said this, Chen Yuan's words revealed an irrepressible excitement.

"Such a crazy idea is truly frightening, but I have to admit that your concept is indeed ingenious." After hearing what Chen Yuan said, Walter Yang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, and at the same time, he once again raised the level of danger Chen Yuan held in his heart.

However, Walter Young's expression suddenly turned extremely serious, and his tone became more solemn than ever before. "But you must understand clearly that the risks involved in doing this are enormous."

"Leaving aside the serious damage this might cause to your own body, it would be a huge and undeniable hidden danger to the entire world!"

At this point, Walter Yang's brows furrowed tightly, and Chen Yuan nodded slightly in agreement, a relaxed expression on his face, and said slowly.

“I am well aware of the risks involved, and it is precisely because of this understanding that I choose to trust you—the only remaining Herrscher of this era, the great Lord Welt Yang.”

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Walter Yang couldn't help but sigh. Faced with the current situation, his heart was filled with conflict and hesitation.

At this moment, Walter Young felt as if he were in a Go game of unprecedented scale, and Chen Yuan was like that crucial move.

Dust and fate could be a brilliant move to save the world, but at the same time, it could also become a fatal mistake that leads to his own complete defeat, causing all his efforts to be in vain.

After a fierce internal struggle, Walter Young finally had no choice but to compromise. He slowly said, "Fine... since things have come to this, tell me, what exactly do you expect me to do?"

“It is a pleasure to be able to cooperate with you, Mr. Walter,” Chen Yuan replied with a smile, adjusting his posture slightly to make himself more comfortable and natural.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a faint arc, and he continued to explain his needs.

"First and foremost, what is crucial to me is having an absolutely safe and reliable place. A place where I can conduct all kinds of experiments without any worries."

Walter Yang wasn't too surprised by Chen Yuan's request. He simply nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the other party's intention.

Then, the latter began to rapidly calculate the status of the various facilities of the Anti-Entropy Organization in his mind, thinking about which places met the conditions described by Chen Yuan.

After a short while, Walter Young confidently replied, "This is not a difficult problem to solve. I think I should be able to find a suitable place for you."

“However, I must be present during the experiment to ensure that everything is safe and completely under control,” Walter Young’s deep voice rang out, leaving no room for negotiation.

Standing to the side, Chen Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood and accepted the other party's request. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he spoke softly.

“That’s certainly not a big problem. I have complete trust in you, Mr. Walter. In fact, I would very much welcome your valuable guidance during the experiments.”

After receiving Chen Yuan's affirmative reply, Walter Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although he still had some worries deep down, he knew he was already on the wrong path.

Despite a lingering doubt in his heart about letting go of worldly ties—he didn't know if his decision was truly wise.

But this thought only flashed through his mind before he forcibly suppressed it. Because if what Chen Yuan said was true, then without a doubt, Chen Yuan, with his special abilities, would become their absolute trump card in the fight against the Honkai!

“I know of a vacant site that is equipped with sufficient equipment and safety measures to conduct this kind of high-risk experiment,” Walter Young said. “However, to prevent a leak, we need time to cordon off the entire area.”

“Time isn’t an issue, I’m not in a rush anyway.” Chen Yuan smiled slightly, gazing out the window as if deep in thought. “I can also use this time to do other things.”

Walter Yang glanced sideways, seemingly wanting to scrutinize Chen Yuan's expression, but inwardly he grew even more wary. Chen Yuan's current demeanor was completely different from his usual self; did that affable air conceal a deeper secret? "What do you intend to do?"

"Needless to say, there's a prerequisite for fusing the Tranquility Gem and the Law of Reason Core." With that, Chen Yuan closed his eyes, and the frame of a rifle appeared in the room. "I need to understand the construction of these weapons."

“Otherwise, something like this…” Before he could finish speaking, the rifle turned into specks of light and vanished, unable to exist for long at all. “It’s just a model, completely useless.”

“Then, let’s start with these weapons.” Walter Yang said, walking to the table, taking out his terminal and fiddling with it for a few moments. Light screens lit up in the room, displaying the structural diagrams and data of various weapons.

“This is exactly what I need!” Chen Yuan stood to the side, his gaze sweeping over the data, his mind rapidly analyzing and integrating the information. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you for the next period of time, Alliance Leader.”

"I hope I won't regret the decision I made today..." Walter Yang sighed softly. "Well then, Mr. Chenyuan, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
