Luo Chen was startled when he accidentally touched the test tube in his pocket, remembering the woman's last words.

"Bianca, Luo Chen."

Otto's voice came through the headphones, making Luo Chen tense.

"Your current tasks are temporarily suspended. I have a new task for you."

"Bianca, go to the suburbs to stop Anti-Entropy's forces from entering the city. I've already sent someone to deliver the Black Abyss White Flower to your residence. Then, Luo Chen, go to the city to help Fu Hua. I've already sent you the location."

Otto hung up the phone after issuing the mission, and the two had no choice but to rush back to the villa, change into their gear, and split up to carry out their missions.

Upon arriving at the mission location, Luo Chen saw intense Honkai energy emanating from the building, indicating that Fu Hua and Sirin had already started fighting.

He then activated the newly installed levitation system on his armor, flew to the rooftop, and indeed found Sirin confronting Fu Hua.

"Monitor."

Luo Chen landed and, pretending to know nothing, asked, "What's wrong with Kiana?"

Upon seeing Luo Chen, Xilin's face contorted with madness as she screamed, "You killed me once, are you going to kill me again this time?!"

Luo Chen didn't know what was wrong with Xilin, but he could tell from her expression that she was in a bad mood. He was about to speak when she interrupted him.

"This time, don't even think about lying to me!"

Sirin unfurled her White Knight armor, unleashing a barrage of light towards Luo Chen, each shot perfectly dodging Fu Hua who was standing nearby.

"what's the situation!"

Luo Chen let out a strange cry, blurred to dodge the light barrier, and slashed at the gem on Xilin's chest, which she dodged as expected.

"Fu Hua, you can stand by and watch now."

Otto was on the phone with Fu Hua, while simultaneously watching the battle between Luo Chen and Xilin on the screen.

"But……"

"No buts, this is part of our cooperation. Don't worry, I won't harm him."

"OK then."

While Fu Hua was giving up, Luo Chen was having a terrible time, having to dodge the flying light screens and be careful of the black mist that might appear at any moment.

"no solution anymore."

Luo Chen seemed to have forgotten Fu Hua's existence, using Susanoo to block all attacks and grabbing at Sirin in mid-air.

Looking at the crimson Susanoo, a hint of fear flashed in Sirin's eyes, but it swelled up again after dodging its attack.

"too slow!"

Just as Xilin was feeling smug, Luo Chen had already transformed into a wisp of black smoke and appeared in front of her, catching her completely off guard.

"Varied……"

Before Xilin could finish speaking, Luo Chen grabbed the gemstone on her chest and pulled it out forcefully.

As he landed again, Luo Chen kept his eyes fixed on Xilin, wary of her trying to snatch the gem.

After losing the gem, Sirin felt her body become heavy. Her right hand reached out in the air, about to fly towards Luo Chen, when she was knocked unconscious by a punch from Fu Hua who rushed forward.

Fu Hua landed gently with Kiana in her arms, about to say that everything was over, but a new anomaly suddenly occurred.

Chapter 70 Meeting

Luo Chen felt a sudden pain in his hand as he grasped the gem. Then, the Honkai energy within the gem surged into his body, and traces of Honkai energy erosion appeared all over his body.

"Luo Chen!"

Fu Hua used her free hand to strike the gem, but it had no effect. Instead, she and Kiana were thrown back by the strong recoil and landed on the ground below.

Fu Hua caught Kiana and landed steadily, and Luo Chen appeared in front of her at the same moment.

Luo Chen's eyes were now lifeless. The armor on his hand, which was holding the gem, was completely shattered all the way to his shoulder. His entire arm was a mass of flesh and blood melting away, leaving only bones before they grew back, in a never-ending cycle.

His white hair grew rapidly and turned blackish-red, falling to the ground, and he exuded an eerie aura.

Luo Chen took a step forward, and a blood-red flower sprouted from his feet, gradually filling the surrounding area with the same flower, like a pool of blood.

"This……"

Fu Hua was truly shocked and remained silent for a long time, unsure of what to do next.

Just as Fu Hua was trying to figure out a solution, flames erupted from the bracelet on Luo Chen's wrist, eventually transforming into a human shape.

"Ling!"

Fu Hua was increasingly surprised and could not believe her eyes.

"Sister Hua, it's been a long time."

Ling walked briskly to Fu Hua and smiled sweetly: "Sister Hua, don't worry, Brother Chen will recover soon."

"Did he tell you this?"

"No, I can sense the Honkai energy in Brother Chen's body. The rate at which he absorbs Honkai energy is slowing down."

Ling played with the flowers on the ground with her feet and smiled at Fu Hua: "Sister Hua, I'm so happy to see you again."

"Me too."

Fu Hua smiled as well, her gaze towards Luo Chen shifting from worry to nostalgia.

"But Brother Chen's plan is truly grand."

"Yes."

Seeing that Luo Chen had returned to normal and the flowers on the ground had dispersed, Fu Hua finally relaxed. She placed Kiana on the ground, put Luo Chen on her lap, and waited for the rescue team to arrive.

"By the way, Xiaoling, when did you come out?"

"When Brother Chen first used his primordial power."

Ling circled around Fu Hua, remembering something amusing, and said with a smile, "Sister Hua, do you think it will be awkward for Brother Chen to meet Brother Kevin in the future?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Brother Chen's current girlfriend looks exactly like Sister Mei."

Ling had already started imagining the scene when the two of them met. Just thinking about the two of them sitting together without saying a word made Ling feel funny.

Upon hearing Ling's words, Fu Hua's expression instantly turned sour. She had originally thought that Mei and Yuno were keeping each other in check, but she hadn't expected that Mei had already run away.

If Luo Chen were awake right now, Fu Hua would probably be doing a live-action retelling of a classic Chinese comedy routine.

Seeing that Fu Hua's expression was off, Ling then remembered that Fu Hua had confessed her feelings to Luo Chen before, although Luo Chen had rejected her in the end.

"Um, Sister Hua, are you alright?"

Ling shrank back and asked, somewhat afraid that she would be hit by the Inch-Strike Heaven-Opening Technique, but then she thought that if all else failed, she could hide back in the Earthly Treasury Soul, and her courage suddenly increased.

"Speaking of which, Brother Chen has really a lot of luck with women, both in the past and now."

"Xiaoling, how much do you know about Chen's plan?"

"I know the general outline, but I've forgotten the details."

Ling recalled the scene when Chen spoke to her while she was sealed in the black box, and replied, "But Sister Hua, you can't get any information from me. I made a promise with Brother Chen."

"OK then."

Fu Hua looked tenderly at the sleeping Luo Chen. Although she didn't know his plans yet, she would always stay by his side, just like before.

"Otto, it's all over."

On a distant high-rise building, Void Repository removed his mask, expressionless, and looked at the gradually dissipating sea of ​​flowers, speaking with Otto.

"I understand. You can come back now, my friend."

"I estimate it will take a few days, as I have some personal matters to attend to."

"Well, good luck to you."

After hanging up, Void Archives crushed the mask, turned around and looked at the person standing behind him, saying with some surprise, "I didn't expect to see you here, Doctor."

The newcomer crossed his arms, his gray-green eyes as cold as ever, yet also tinged with nostalgia: "I never imagined you would walk the world in her likeness."

……

After everything was over, Luo Chen was sent back to headquarters for treatment and woke up a few days later.

He was alone in the empty hospital room. Luo Chen sat up easily. After moving around a bit and feeling that he was fine, he got out of bed.

"Brother, you're awake."

The ward door opened, and Luo Meng saw Luo Chen walking around the room, but she wasn't too surprised.

"The doctor said you were just unconscious and there's nothing wrong with your body."

"is it?"

Luo Chen recalled the mission, but his memory of what happened after encountering the gem was rather hazy, so he asked Luo Meng for help.

Luo Meng told Luo Chen the information she got from Bianca, which surprised Luo Chen.

"I absorbed another core?"

"What do you mean 'again'? But according to rumors, you absorbed a small portion of the energy contained in the gem."
