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

Chen Yuan's fist slammed heavily into Raiden Mei's face, causing her to scream in pain as she was sent flying, crashing heavily into a building in the distance. The entire building collapsed under the immense impact, sending dust and debris flying everywhere.

"Huff...huff...is it over?" Chen Yuan gasped for breath, watching the building without any reaction. Several tentacles extended from his back and cautiously surged towards the building.

After some rummaging, the tentacles pulled Raiden Mei out of the building ruins. She was now unconscious, a far cry from her previous arrogant demeanor.

Relieved, Chen Yuan's skin peeled off like liquid, finally transforming into a tiny human figure. Himeko, having withdrawn from the symbiotic relationship, took a few steps back, lost her balance, and fell to the ground. Her eyes were fixed on Chen Yuan, as if he were a rare treasure.

Seeing Himeko's current state, Chen Yuan subconsciously took two steps back. His instincts told him that Himeko was in danger. "Um... Miss Himeko, I'll go check on Raiden Mei's condition first. You rest here for a while."

"Wait a minute!" Ji Zi scrambled to her feet and grabbed Chen Yuan, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself before staring intently at him. "What was that state just now...?"

Himeko was extremely excited. During the time she was in symbiosis with the Honkai energy, her body, which had been severely eroded by Honkai energy, was slowly recovering.

Chen Yuan was taken aback. Of course, he knew what Ji Zi meant by "the state just now," but it was something that couldn't be explained in a short time.

“Symbiotic state…” Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke, “This state uses my power to temporarily strengthen your body. However, there are also side effects. The sudden burst of power may make your body feel somewhat uncomfortable.”

"At the same time, my power can also be used as a means of recovery." As he said this, tiny tentacles grew from Chen Yuan's hands. "Although I don't know the upper limit, theoretically speaking, as long as someone has a breath left, I can bring them back to life."

"That's it!" Upon hearing this, Himeko's eyes lit up, and she looked at Chen Yuan as if he were a hot commodity. "Little cutie~ I want to talk to you about something."

"We'll talk about it later. I'll go check on Raiden Mei first." Sensing something was wrong, Chen Yuan slipped out of Himeko's grasp in his true form, landing on the ground and transforming back into human form.

At this point, Chen Yuan quickly walked towards Raiden Mei in the ruins, still feeling somewhat uneasy, after all, the intense gaze of Himeko following behind him made him feel an unprecedented sense of pressure.

"Mei..." Chen Yuan called softly, checking her injuries. Fortunately, although the injuries looked serious, there was no danger to her life. He reached out and gently touched Raiden Mei's body, and the symbiote instantly covered her completely.

Once the symbiote receded, Raiden Mei's wounds vanished instantly, revealing skin as white as a baby's.

"That's really impressive..." Himeko thought to herself as she watched this scene. Although she had already witnessed Chenyuan's abilities, seeing this speed of recovery firsthand still left her in awe.

"Major Himeko! Are you alright?" Just then, countless Valkyries surged around them. They were the same Valkyries who had left in a group earlier. The adjutant in charge quickly ran to Himeko's side, while two Valkyries behind her were holding Kiana and Anzu in their arms.

Bronya ran to Chenyuan's side, carefully lifted her up, and asked worriedly, "Brother Chenyuan, are you hurt?"

"It's nothing," Chen Yuan and Himeko replied in unison, the former patting Bronya's head. The latter punched the adjutant on the head. "Weren't you supposed to be clearing out Honkai Beasts and searching for survivors? Why are you all back?!"

"I guess she was worried about you, after all, there was such a commotion just now." Chen Yuan jumped onto Bronya's shoulder and used his tentacles to lift up the three unconscious people and Seele in the distance.

The scene terrified the Valkyries, causing them to take several steps back. Even the adjutant couldn't help but swallow hard, his gaze fixed on Himeko. "Colonel Himeko, could she be the one from the video...?"

"Yes, it's him. He just helped me a lot, otherwise I would be done for." Himeko finished speaking and walked up to Chenyuan. "So, what are you going to do next?"

"What else can we do? Everyone go back to their own homes and find their own mothers."

“I have a suggestion I hope you can consider,” Himeko said, taking a deep breath. “You should be familiar with Theresa. She founded an academy called St. Freya, which is a place specifically for training Valkyries.”

"You want me to join St. Freya Academy?"

Himeko nodded, agreeing with Chenyuan's words: "That's right. Your abilities are very special. Both your symbiotic state and your recovery ability are very suitable for assisting us in fighting the Honkai."

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!" Chen Yuan smiled and nodded to Himeko. "I can join St. Freya Academy, but I have one condition." He then pointed to Kiana and Raiden Mei. "They must join too..."

------

Some time later, in the medical room on the Hyperion, the four unconscious little ones lay obediently on the hospital bed, while Chenyuan and Bronya stood quietly at the door watching them.

"So, Brother Chenyuan, are you going to join that place called St. Freya Academy?" Bronya said softly. "Bronya is going too. Wherever Brother Chenyuan goes, Bronya will go."

"Well, I was going to have you come anyway," Chen Yuan smiled and reached out to ruffle Bronya's hair. "Did Cocolia notify you?"

Bronya nodded, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. After all, she would never forget the murderous look in Cocolia's eyes when she learned that Chenyuan was going to St. Freya Academy during their communication.

“Cocolia’s mother said that when we reach the next sea area, someone will come to pick up Xing and Seele and take them back, but we don’t know who it is yet. However, Cocolia’s mother said that they have a good relationship with someone named Theresa?”

"Really? That's good..."

At that moment, Himeko walked in and said to the two of them, "Everything is ready, and we're about to head back to the academy. On the way, I'll tell Theresa to arrange the enrollment procedures for Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya next to you."

"Alright, let's leave it at that then." Chen Yuan nodded and looked at the four people lying on the bed. "I hope they won't cause too much trouble when they wake up."

[Hah~ Feeling much better. Good evening, host.] The system's voice rang in Chen Yuan's mind. Chen Yuan thought to himself, annoyed, 'You were just awake, and now you're saying good evening to me?'

[Just now? You mean that?] Hearing Chen Yuan's words, the system was clearly taken aback for a moment, then said, [That was an automated voice message I set up, used to issue tasks or rewards to you, host, while I'm sleeping or resting.]

After hearing the system's explanation, Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly, thinking that this system was really intelligent enough, even having an automatic reply. "Never mind," Chen Yuan replied in his mind, "What do you mean this time, another new simulation?"

"Of course!" The system's tone carried a hint of smugness. "Important plot scene detected: Hyperion! St. Freya Academy, simulation about to begin: Theresa."

[Instance Aid: Firstly, Invisibility, No Quality. Within this instance, unless the host wishes, no one except Theresa can detect the host's presence by any means. The host's voice during conversations with Theresa will also be automatically corrected.]

[Secondly: Favorability boost, Theresa's initial favorability increases by 50%!]

[Start simulation? 】

'Theresa... if she has invisibility, then I won't be afraid of Otto.' Thinking this, Chen Yuan nodded to himself. "Start the simulation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar feeling of weightlessness came from the soles of his feet, and Chen Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
