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

It seemed that daily life in the academy had not changed much because of certain events, and everything was still proceeding in an orderly manner as usual. Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down a little and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But just then, Theresa suddenly started circling around Chen Yuan like a kitten. As she walked, she looked Chen Yuan up and down with curious eyes, muttering to herself.

"However, when Kiana first told me about this, I was a little hesitant to believe it. I never thought you could actually maintain this level of performance all by yourself."

"Well, it was somewhat expected after all." Chen Yuan murmured softly, and as soon as he finished speaking, his body shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, his originally tall and imposing figure became small and delicate. Then, with a light leap, he landed steadily on Theresa's slender shoulders.

"Speaking of which, where did Kiana and the others go?" Chen Yuan blinked and looked around as he asked.

"Hey, where else can we go? Those who are supposed to be in class will naturally sit obediently in the classroom and listen to the teacher's lecture. As for Himeko and Wendy, they'll be on the podium, of course."

Theresa answered casually, stretching her somewhat languid body and letting out a big yawn. "Besides, they don't know you're back yet."

"So that's how it is... It seems my return this time will bring them an unexpected surprise!" Thinking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.

Then, he slowly shifted his gaze to the Yae Sakura sisters beside him and Theresa standing in front of him, and said softly, "In that case, let's hurry home."

Meanwhile, in the dimly lit basement of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, Raven and Jackal stood side by side, their faces grave and their expressions tense. Their gazes were fixed on Möbius directly in front of them.

Mebius stood gracefully, her white robe fluttering slightly in the wind, but her face remained expressionless, as if nothing in the world could stir the slightest emotion within her.

"Report, mission complete." Raven broke the silence first, his voice low and tinged with a hint of awe. The jackal beside him chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty, we successfully completed the mission as planned."

However, upon hearing their report, Möbius merely nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, without revealing any particular expression or emotion. His emerald eyes were as calm and still as a deep pool, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

“Yes, thank you for your hard work,” Möbius responded softly, her tone as calm as still water. After a brief pause, she continued, “Next, we will conduct a detailed analysis of the collected data. This will determine the direction of our subsequent actions and whether our ultimate goal can be achieved.”

Upon hearing this, the jackal reacted swiftly, reaching into her left pocket with her right hand and pulling out a small, unassuming memory device in the blink of an eye. This memory device was entirely black and looked completely inconspicuous.

Jackal carefully placed the storage device next to the data terminal on the experimental platform and respectfully said, "My lord, I have prepared the main data in advance. It not only contains all the information related to this mission, but also includes Chen Yuan..."

"Oh no, it's a detailed record of everything that Father God did during the period of entropy reversal. This data is now stored here completely and without error; please review it yourself."

Having said that, the jackal took two large steps back and stood side by side with the raven again, quietly waiting for Möbius's next instruction.

"Hmm, well done." After the jackal finished speaking, Mebius responded softly, then glanced at the jackal with some surprise. Her eyes flickered slightly as she looked the jackal up and down before she nodded gently in approval.

"While you may not be as intelligent or as capable as Klein, I must say your ability to read people is quite remarkable," Möbius said slowly, her lips barely moving.

Upon hearing this, the jackal trembled slightly, secretly relieved. He lowered his head, avoiding Mebius's gaze, and responded humbly.

"You flatter me, my lord... All of this is simply my duty, and I dare not take credit for it." As he spoke, a deep look of fear appeared in the jackal's eyes.

Seeing the jackal's appearance, Mebius didn't say anything more, but simply turned away and ignored her.

Mebius inserted the memory into the terminal next to him, and with a slight buzzing sound, the screen began to flash and display various complex data, charts and images.

Mebius was intently focused on the screen, seemingly trying to glean some important information or clues. "Grey Serpent, have you received any news from Hua?"

Just then, a faint sound suddenly came from the previously silent room. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark figure slowly emerging from a shadowy corner. When it was fully revealed in the light, everyone realized that it was Gray Snake.

"Mother, there's no news from Hua Zhu yet. However, as far as I know, Father is likely to use Hua Zhu to contact us," Gray Serpent reported respectfully as he approached Mebius.

"The message we carefully disseminated successfully penetrated the reverse entropy and reached my father's ears. However, the Fate, on the other hand, also began to investigate our whereabouts, whether intentionally or unintentionally."

Upon hearing what the gray snake said, Mebius's emerald-green eyes narrowed slightly, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

Clearly, she hadn't anticipated Fate's swift reaction. Möbius parted her lips slightly, her voice low as she asked, "When exactly did this happen?"

After a moment's thought, Gray Serpent replied in a solemn tone, "Just a few hours ago, some of my important spies in various locations suddenly lost all contact with us."

"Following this, through further investigation, we discovered that the forces of Destiny had quietly appeared in those places and had begun a secret investigation."

Upon hearing this, the jackal frowned deeply, his already tense face now appearing even more gloomy, and his expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

At the same time, he cautiously cast his gaze toward Mebius, secretly praying that the unpredictable lord would not be angered by this.

"Hmph, so what if they found out?" To the jackal's utter astonishment, Mebius remained remarkably calm and composed in the face of being discovered, without even flinching.

He casually tapped the lab table in front of him with his fingers, making a crisp sound. "It doesn't matter. Even if we're discovered, it's not a big deal. After all, several others have already woken up besides me."

Just then, as Möbius finished speaking, a female figure descended from the sky. Surprisingly, this woman's appearance was exactly the same as Yae Sakura's; they were practically identical.

However, upon closer inspection, subtle differences can be discerned—the woman before them possesses a more mature charm that comes with the passage of time, unlike Yae Sakura.

Upon seeing the mysterious figure that had suddenly appeared, the raven and the jackal widened their eyes and involuntarily swallowed.

Before this, neither of them had sensed Sakura's presence at all. In other words, if Sakura had wanted to take their lives, it would have been as easy as turning her hand and drinking water.

At this moment, Sakura ignored the terrified expressions of the raven and the jackal, her beautiful yet indifferent eyes fixed on Möbius as she asked in a calm tone.

“Mebius, should I go and take care of Otto now? Although his body made of Soul Steel is troublesome, I am still confident that I can kill him instantly.”

"No, this is a game exclusively for those in the mortal realm! We don't need to interfere too much; we just need to lend a hand at crucial moments."

Mebius's lips curled slightly upward as he spoke casually. He then let out two soft laughs, the sound seemingly possessing a magical quality that sent a chill down the spines of the raven and jackal nearby.

Mebius then continued, "Moreover, the primary objective of this operation is to completely eliminate the Honkai energy."

"At the very least, we must drive them out of this world. In the previous civilization, we simply didn't have time to accomplish this task. But the situation is different now!"

After saying that, Möbius stretched lazily, and her graceful and charming figure was immediately revealed to everyone.

As she stretched, she murmured to herself, "However, I'm afraid I'm still struggling to cope on my own! Haven't Dr. Mei, Ain, and Klein woken up yet?"

Hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but sigh softly and said slowly, "Unfortunately, so far, only you, me, Eden, and the lovely little Paddo have fully awakened. As for the others... they may need some more time."

"They should be close soon. After all, having sensed the threat of collapse and the traces of Chenyuan, they can no longer remain asleep."

Möbius nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Sakura's meaning. They were both survivors of a previous civilization, who had experienced the pain of losing loved ones during the collapse and witnessed the destruction of their civilization.

“Then let’s wait patiently.” Möbius gently pressed the button in his hand, and the data on the experimental table began to be analyzed rapidly. “As soon as they wake up, we can start the final plan.”

“But before that, we must prepare for the arrival of Chen Yuan.” With that, Möbius turned his gaze to the gray serpent. “You should be ready to welcome his return.”
