Playful! Collapse!

Looking at the moonlight shining in the sky, the five people, who could feel that the concentration of Honkai energy in Changkong City had dropped significantly, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Then......

“Walter!!!”

Looking at Walter, whose body was already spurting blood, Siegfried, who was falling due to Walter's lack of strength, caught his old friend and landed steadily on the rooftop of a high-rise building.

Well, it’s not quite right to say that he caught him. Siegfried is a one-armed man after all. With his current physical condition, he could only throw the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire onto the building, clamp Walter’s body with his elbow, and then let the two of them fall onto the rooftop at the same time.

Although this is better than watching Walter being thrown down directly, but... the benefits are limited.

"Joachim!"

Looking at Walter who was placed on the rooftop by Siegfried and was still spitting out blood, Tesla, who originally wanted to scold Walter a dozen words, now forgot the words he had prepared before.

"Why are you still messing around like this?"

"I'm... fine."

After supporting himself with his arms and sitting up, Walter looked at Yuan Yan who was held in Fu Hua's arms, and he finally felt completely relieved.

It is theoretically possible to use the Moonlight Throne to bombard the Herrscher's body, thereby converting the Herrscher's Houkai energy into other energies.

But the problem is that this method obviously does not take the safety of the Herrscher into consideration.

Of course, if he thought about it carefully, he felt that this was normal.

Whether it was Joyce, him, or Yuan Yan, who was now forcibly driving his body to seize the power of the Herrscher, they were not normal Herrschers.

Although Walter wanted to talk to Xilin fourteen years ago, he was already prepared to go to war with Xilin at that time.

After all, after the Herrscher's body becomes a Herrscher, it will always hear the low hum of the Honkai Will.

For those who transform into Herrschers out of despair, the low roar of destruction will only turn them step by step from pitiful and hopeless people into apostles of God who destroy the world.

From this perspective, it is quite correct that the Moonlight Throne left behind by the previous civilization does not have the function of "holding back".

It was precisely because of this that Walter, who was worried that Yuan Yan would be killed directly by the Moonlight Throne with a single shot, used his own power at the last moment to create the Divine Key [White Flower], which he had difficulty in creating, and used the power of the White Flower to heal Yuan Yan's body.

But now, Yuan Yan was saved by him, but he himself...

“Cough cough cough cough cough…”

All I can say is, being alive is not a loss.

Compared to the state he was in fourteen years ago when his body was beaten to pieces and his consciousness was beaten up by Xilin, Walter felt that he was very happy to be able to move now.

"Tesla, don't worry, I'm fine."

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, Walter said to Tesla not far away.

"The Honkai energy in Yuan Yan has been converted. Contact Einstein immediately and have her prepare to assist us in our retreat."

"We've been prepared for this for a long time... Um, are we able to communicate normally now?!"

After seeing that the communication system on Alahato had returned to normal, he confirmed again and again that Walter was just Tesla, who was pale and had vomited some blood, and immediately began to contact his old friend.

At the same time, Fu Hua, who was holding Yuan Yan, placed Yuan Yan next to Walter and Siegfried, and whispered to them.

"You two, Yuan Yan is a member of the Anti-Entropy faction after all. I think it would be best if you lead him to retreat."

"Ah, Immortal, you..."

Listening to what Fu Hua said at this moment, Siegfried asked with a bit of surprise.

"From what you said, are you still planning to return to Tianming?"

"That bastard Otto will definitely cause trouble again in the future. If you go back..."

"That's why I have to go back."

After looking back at Theresa who had jumped onto the rooftop, Fu Hua's eyes emanated a chill.

This chill was not directed at Theresa, but at Otto who was far away in Europe.

"If I follow you to Anti-Entropy now, Otto will definitely know that I have abandoned my alliance with him."

"Although I don't think he will take action against Shenzhou right away, I still want to prevent this from happening."

"And if I go back, if that guy wants to do something bad, at least I can..."

Thinking of her current situation, Fu Hua changed her words in a self-deprecating manner.

"I can at least try to slow him down a bit."

"Okay, okay, don't make the atmosphere so heavy."

Listening to Fu Hua's self-deprecating words, Theresa smiled and said to the three of them with a relaxed expression.

"Anyway, this problem has at least been solved temporarily, and..."

"At least we can talk to each other and avoid violence between us in the future."

"One of our own...ah."

Seeing Theresa say this very naturally, Walter said with a wry smile.

"Ms. Theresa, I know you have no ill will towards us."

"But you are the head of the Far East branch after all, and you are also Otto's granddaughter. Even if you have no ill will towards us, you will often be forced to do things because of your status."

"Well, that's natural, but it's better to find a way to avoid it than to be completely unaware and then have everyone fighting each other, right?"

At this point, Theresa's expression became a little more serious.

"The collapse of Changkong City this time was thanks to Yuan Yan, but if someone plans to cause a big problem next time, we can't expect Yuan Yan to absorb the collapse energy and forcibly interrupt a large-scale collapse every time."

"Besides, this time Grandpa just stepped back and let Cocolia do the trouble. If he plans to take action himself next time..."

Although Theresa didn't finish her words, after she said this, an unconcealable gloom appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Although both Cocolia and Otto are conspirators, the gap between them is even greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

Cocolia caused a third collapse, and if Otto took action...

I have a headache. A very bad headache.

"Actually, you are a little too optimistic."

At this moment, Siegfried suddenly uttered a word.

"It's true that Otto's actions are terrifying, but..."

"—If he and Cocolia start causing trouble in two different areas at the same time, the situation will only get worse."

After Siegfried said this, the remaining three people looked at Yuan Yan who was sleeping peacefully.

Alliance leader, don’t leave now that you’re back. I won’t be able to rest in peace even after I die unless you kill Cocolia—that’s what he said before he fell into a coma.

"I'll go back and call a meeting of the Executors. If Cocolia shows up, we'll take care of her. If she doesn't come... then we'll have a legitimate way to deal with those radical insects."

When Walter said this, a murderous look appeared in his eyes, which was very rare.

Although Yuan Yan's words and actions in the final stage seemed crazy, but in fact, after analyzing it now, what he said was actually just madly giving information.

Where on earth did this young man get so much information? This matter was no longer important to them. What was important was that if this information was true, they had to kill Cocolia as quickly as possible to prevent that woman from causing even bigger trouble.

At this moment, an intelligence light screen suddenly appeared in front of Walter's eyes.

[Leader, this is Einstein.]

"Doctor, please speak."

After looking around, Walter said to Einstein.

"There are no outsiders here, they are all our allies."

[Okay. Let me briefly explain the current situation.]

[I sent someone to Me Company, but Cocolia and her subordinates are gone.]

"...Inform the reformists that I'm planning to hold a meeting of executors soon and that Cocolia must attend."

【She won’t come.】

"I know."

After saying this, Walter felt a rare malice towards someone in his heart.

"If she doesn't come, then I should start dealing with those reformists directly."

"They've overreached, and some of the intelligence I've received... cough! cough cough!"

[Are you talking about Cocolia teaming up with other organizations? ]

After seeing Walter coughing up blood again, a trace of visible worry appeared on Einstein's originally cold face.

[Actually, Alliance Leader, I have something else to report to you.]

[In fact, you should have already discovered the abnormality of Alahato. ]

"Well, it happened so fast."

Recalling his own calculations, Walter looked at the mecha in the distance and asked with a little confusion.

"What new technology have you developed?"

[No, it's not that we've developed a new technology. In fact, this new technology was developed based on experimental data obtained by Cocolia through the X10 experiment.]

???

Hearing this, Siegfried's eyes widened.

"That woman, was she so kind as to give you the data?!"

[Of course not. This data was sent privately to Dr. Tesla and me.]

[Based on this data, Cocolia's rapid evacuation from Changkong City this time was likely due to this so-called 'quantum teleportation system'.]

[It's just that this system isn't fully developed yet, and there are risks involved in transmission, so no one knows what happened to her and her subordinates after using this system.]

[In addition to this information, the mysterious person who sent us the information also told us that he discovered that Kokolia had met with some members of non-Anti-Entropy organizations.]

[Based on this, I think Cocolia's rapid rise to prominence is probably due to the secret help of those people.]

Walter, who was listening to these words, looked at Yuan Yan, who was still sleeping soundly, with a suspicious look.

Although there is no evidence, he now suspects that the person who sent the information to Einstein may have a close connection with Yuan Yan.

[Also, there was a problem with the Cocolia system, but after several days of research with Dr. Tesla, we have basically resolved this problem.]

[So once the teleportation system on Alahato cools down, you can return directly to the headquarters.]

"I see. So, Dr. Einstein..."

Walter, who felt that the Herrscher core in Yuan Yan's body still had a lot of power, said helplessly to Einstein at this time.

"Please have your medical colleagues prepare for an extraction operation."

"The highest standard."

[I understand. Then, please return to headquarters as soon as possible with Dr. Tesla and Mr. Siegfried.]

After Einstein hung up the phone, Walter suddenly said to Siegfried.

"Siegfried, pull out some more of your hair."

"Ms. Theresa just cut your hair for a paternity test, right? Then what she did was wrong."

"Eh? Is that so??"

After hearing this, Theresa scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

"I remember...in the comic book...it seemed like it just called for normal hair?"

"The hair for paternity testing needs to have roots, so..."

"Okay, I see."

Siegfried pulled a handful of hair down and then carefully handed it to Theresa.

After taking the hair, Theresa actually saw a hint of...fear in the eyes of her fearless old friend?

Siegfried...is he still worried that what Yuan Yan said is not true, so he showed this expression at this time?

"Okay, when did you become so fussy?"

After lightly punching Siegfried, Theresa said unhappily.
