Are you going over there?

Hearing Kevin's words, Luo Chen shook his head. He didn't plan to get involved in the Sky Dome situation; Otto would handle it.

"I'm going to Changkong City next. Gray Snake, tell Jackal not to attack Kiana."

"I will."

After the gray snake withdrew, only the two of them remained in the hall. Luo Chen looked at Kevin, who had put away the Calamity Annihilation and returned to his throne, and gave a completely emotionless smile.

"I'm very curious, what exactly was the reason for that deal you made with Otto?"

The deal above Abyss City can be simply described as Otto giving the Void Treasury to Kevin, in exchange for Kevin giving Otto the Beacon of the Thousand Realms. This in itself is unremarkable, but Otto's other request is quite intriguing.

"You'll know when you go there yourself."

Besides exchanging items, Otto also wanted Luo Chen to help him complete his experiment on the Thousand Realms One Vehicle, which puzzled Luo Chen greatly, as he couldn't understand what Otto was up to.

"Do you know something?"

Kevin closed his eyes and remained silent, sitting on the throne like an ice sculpture, as if he were the only person in the hall.

"Forget it, it's pointless to ask."

Luo Chen sighed, turned and walked towards another exit, leaving the hall and heading directly to Changkong City, where he wanted to scout out the location beforehand.

The sound of the door closing reached Kevin's ears. Kevin snapped out of his meditative state and looked in the direction Luo Chen had left, lost in thought.

"Why are there traces of the super-transformation surgery on Chen's body? He died right in front of me, which means it couldn't be the same body as the one from 50,000 years ago."

Hei Chen verified Luo Chen's true form using artificial collapse, which indicates that Luo Chen's body possesses a super-mutant factor and has undergone surgery.

A green figure flashed through Kevin's mind. Möbius had a very good relationship with Dust, even better than with Alicia, a fact witnessed by everyone on the Firemoth. So it was inevitable that Kevin would think of Möbius.

"If Dr. Mebius had known that Dust was alive, he might have entered the hibernation chamber back then."

Kevin's voice sounded somewhat wistful. As a close friend of Luo Chen, he knew about Mebius's feelings for Luo Chen. When they were drunk, Mebius would talk about Luo Chen three out of five times.

"I hope Chen will be alright in Paradise."

Chapter 180 Changes in All Parties

The perspective shifts back to Sky City, where Kiana and Rita, after a fierce battle, finally destroyed the Death Weaver, repelled the Raven, and successfully broke through the encirclement of the World Serpent.

Having escaped to a safe place, Kiana leaned against the wall, panting as she watched Rita and her group.

"Miss Kiana, we are enemies, why did you save us?"

"why?"

Kiana wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long breath.

"There's no reason why, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"is it?"

Rita laughed at Kiana's answer.

"Miss Kiana, thank you for your rescue. However, the next time we meet, we will be enemies."

"It doesn't matter, I'll beat you next time."

"Rita is looking forward to that day."

Kiana and Rita exchanged a glance and burst into laughter simultaneously. Having rested long enough, Kiana rose to say goodbye and left, disappearing into the night.

"Is everything alright?"

Rita was concerned about her teammates. Seeing that they were all doing alright, she was relieved. The Honkai energy was still being suppressed, and they were now heading back to the Eos for rescue.

Back at the spaceship, Rita saw that her spaceship engine was gone, and her face turned ashen.

Upon entering the spaceship, all the crew members were found lying in pools of blood. The walls and floors showed signs of a struggle, indicating that a brutal massacre had taken place.

"Lady Rita, what should we do?"

"Contact His Holiness the Bishop and explain everything that's happening here. Request Lady Durandal's support."

"Yes!"

……

Tianming Airport

Rita and her team's operation took place late at night, while it was already morning at headquarters. Bianca had just finished her morning run and returned to her dormitory to change her clothes when she received a call from Otto.

"Your Excellency, what's wrong?"

Bianca put down the kettle and wondered why Otto was looking for her at this time.

"Rita's side has run into some trouble, and they need your help."

"I see."

Bianca nodded, told Otto to prepare the plane, and then got dressed and headed over.

"Is Rita in some kind of trouble?"

Bianca quickly took a shower, changed her clothes, and headed to the airport, where she ran into Luo Meng, who had just returned from the cafeteria.

"Bianca, are you going on a mission?"

Seeing Bianca's hurried appearance, Luo Meng guessed that she was going on a mission, but she still asked her.

"Yes, Rita is in trouble. I'll go over there."

"Rita's in trouble, do you need my help?"

Luo Meng wanted to go back, partly because she thought that if even Rita couldn't handle the task, she could help. Another reason was that she wanted to find Xuan Yu; she hadn't properly said goodbye to her last time.

"No need, I can go by myself."

"alright."

Since Bianca had said so, Luo Meng wouldn't insist.

"Bianca, be careful."

"I know, I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Meng'er."

"Bye-Bye."

……

On the Hyperion, Himeko reviewed the data and planned the next steps.

"Teacher Himeko."

Mei and Wendy arrived at the bridge together, and Himeko turned around and looked at them gently.

"You're here. Have you rested well?"

"Ah."

Mei nodded. A few days ago, Theresa messaged them saying that Luo Chen had returned, which made her very happy. However, Theresa's next sentence was that Luo Chen had left St. Freya and joined World Serpent, which made Mei's mood plummet.

"Don't overthink it. That little guy definitely has his own plans."

Seeing that Mei had dark circles under her eyes from missing him, Himeko patted her shoulder. Knowing Luo Chen as she did, she knew he wouldn't leave them without a reason.

"I know, it's just..."

Mei lowered her head. She understood all of this, but she still couldn't resist the urge to see Luo Chen.

"Major Himeko, there's a problem with the humanoid machine."

The bridge door opened, and Tesla strode over to Himeko, projecting a video onto the large screen.

The video shows Kiana, Xuan Yu, and Rita confronting each other. The buildings in the distance indicate that it is the outskirts of Sky City.

"These are the images we just obtained. I traced the sender's coordinates in reverse to Sky City, so my initial estimate is that it was sent from Destiny."

Tesla explained, zooming in on the screen to clearly project Xuan Yu's face onto everyone's screen.

"If I remember correctly, this girl is Luo Chen's mother, Xuan Yu, a former A-rank Valkyrie, right?"

"Yes."

Himeko stared at Xuan Yu's smiling face with a complicated expression. Her appearance was beyond her expectations, and it seemed that Kiana was now under her care, which made things simple.

"But how did she end up in Sky City?"

Tesla didn't understand why Siegfried had asked him and Einstein to try to find Xuan Yu's whereabouts, but they had exhausted all of Anti-Entropy's resources in various regions without success, and now she had suddenly reappeared.

"I don't know, but at least I don't have to worry about Kiana's danger."

"Himeko-sensei, is this Aunt Xuan Yu?"

Mei stepped forward. She was very familiar with Xuan Yu's smile on the screen. When she was a child, Xuan Yu always smiled like that when she stayed at Luo Chen's house.

"You know her?"

"Yes, I saw it when I was a child."

"Okay, I forgot about that."

Himeko slapped her forehead; she had forgotten that Mei and Luo Chen had known each other for a long time, and she must have met Xuan Yu before.

"Major Himeko, a communication has been received."
