Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The first Herrscher of Reason, with her astonishing strength, withstood the Honkai energy fission bomb of Schicksal, and on this basis, created the legendary feat of Anti-Entropy.

　Then came the unprecedented gathering of combat power displayed by Destiny.

　If those in power still have any sense, they would never dare to underestimate the power of the Law Enforcers.

　Even a world-dominating power like Schicksal needs to be cautious when facing a Herrscher, let alone nations and organizations that seek survival and development in Schicksal's shadow.

　So, as the forces of Destiny assembled in the vast snowfields of Siberia, other countries and organizations on the planet also began their own emergency mobilizations.

　However, compared to the destiny of centralized power, neither the anti-entropy system, which implements a decentralized system of executors, nor other countries can match its efficient organization and action.

　Indeed, the World Snake's operational efficiency is also remarkable.

　But before Kevin had even...

　At the moment of Quanta Ocean's triumphant return, the Gray Serpent, who controls the World Serpent, has not shown any intention to participate in the Second Great Collapse.

　On one hand, Grey Serpent believed in Fu Hua's power.

　He did not believe that Moros, who occupied the Tower of Babel, and the newly born Second Herrscher could defeat this fusion warrior who had lived for 50,000 years.

　On the other hand, the world snakes were still in a dormant phase during this period.

　Unless absolutely necessary, Gray Serpent doesn't want to reveal the existence of World Serpent.

　In less than 12 hours, a transport plane carrying the Snow Wolf Squad, the most elite A-rank Valkyrie squad of Destiny, and Siegfried Kaslana, the heir of the Kaslana family, landed smoothly on the runway of a military base in the vast Siberian snowfield.

　Theresa and Patrick had been waiting here for a long time.

　After their evacuation from the Tower of Babylon, they moved to this military base, which had previously served as a perimeter outpost for the Babylonian Laboratory.

　As instructed by the Destiny Headquarters, their mission was to gather reinforcements and conduct the first wave of probing against the newly formed Herrschers.

　Otto knew very well that it would be almost impossible to annihilate a Herrscher with only two S-class combatants and an A-class Valkyrie squad.

　In fact, he never expected this unit to accomplish such a difficult mission.

　His only hope was that Theresa and Siegfried could uncover the true powers of the Herrscher who descended upon the Tower of Babel.

　Indeed, records left by the previous civilization indicate that the Herrscher accompanying the Second Great Collapse should be the Herrscher of the Void.

　But how could a leader as cautious as Otto easily believe all the information left behind by the previous civilization?

　Therefore, before officially launching the operation to annihilate the Herrschers, he must confirm whether the powers possessed by this second Herrscher of this era are truly those of the Herrscher of Emptiness, as described in the data.

　Just as Theresa, Siegfried, and Patrick boarded the prepared snow tracked transport vehicle with the four members of the Snow Wolf Squad, Walter, along with Tesla, Einstein, and an elite anti-entropy mech unit, quietly arrived in this vast and boundless icy land.

　While Reverse Entropy's overall mobilization efficiency cannot match that of Destiny, its response speed is in no way inferior to Destiny's when it comes to deploying mobile forces.

　As the Herrscher of Reason, Welt knew all too well the power of the Herrschers.

　He knew that if he couldn't persuade the Second Herrscher to join the human camp, he would have to take immediate action to nip her in the bud.

　Because once the Second Herrscher is allowed to grow and become stronger, Welt knows in his heart that he will no longer be her opponent.

Chapter 304 Union and the Exploration of the Tower of Babel

　Standing on a snow-covered hillside, the red-haired, twin-tailed "girl" scientist, dressed in heavy winter clothing, faced the brown-haired leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance and voiced her inner doubts.

　"Do we really have to contact the people of Destiny? Will they truly accept our goodwill?"

　Considering the long-standing grudges and estrangement between Destiny and Anti-Entropy, her doubts seemed perfectly reasonable.

　The leader of Anti-Entropy, Welt Yang, who inherited the Herrscher core from the previous Herrscher, Welt Joyce, and became the second generation First Herrscher, calmly responded to Tesla's question after hearing this.

　“I have carefully studied the composition of the troops dispatched by Destiny. Their main force consists of Otto’s granddaughter and the heir of the Kaslana family, both of whom are people I can communicate with.”

　His gaze passed over the red-haired girl's shoulder and drifted into the distance.

　There, snow tracked vehicles bearing the emblem of destiny are steadily driving toward the majestic Tower of Babylon.

　He took a deep breath of the cold air, feeling the chill pierce his heart and lungs, and then said firmly.

　"To achieve our goals, we must set aside prejudices and unite all forces that can be united, even our old adversaries who have stood against us for more than half a century."

　As he spoke, Walter Yang used the power of the Ninth Divine Key, the Devouring Key, the Star of Eden, to manipulate gravity and fly towards the Destiny Caravan's route, accurately stopping the snow tracked transport vehicle.

　"My fellow members of the Mandate of Heaven!"

　Landing on the snow, Walter gripped the spherical Star of Eden in one hand and announced loudly.

　"I am Walter Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy!"

　Just as Walter had predicted, after a brief but intense exchange, Theresa and Siegfried finally agreed to his proposal for a joint exploration of the Tower of Babel.

　After all, it would be unwise to clash with the First Herrscher of Anti-Entropy and suffer total annihilation on this snow-covered wasteland.

　A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

　Facing the renowned leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, Theresa and Siegfried didn't really think they could win.

　Neither Theresa nor Siegfried were people who feared death.

　However, if they fall here, Cecilia, whom they care about most, will face the Herrscher's sharp edge alone with limited information.

　This is clearly not the outcome they wanted.

　Now that a consensus has been reached and a joint action has been decided, the two sides will...

　Their respective teams merged into one and set off together toward the Babylonian Laboratory.

　Contrary to everyone's expectations, this joint force composed of Destiny and Anti-Entropy encountered no obstacles during its journey and arrived at the Tower of Babel standing on the snowfield with exceptional ease.

　Faced with this strange and calm situation, Walter and the others had no choice but to be extra vigilant and venture deep into the Tower of Babel to uncover its secrets.

　Inside the Babylonian Laboratory, Theresa and Siegfried walked through the blood-stained steel corridors. In the instant their eyes met, they understood the tragic fate of the Chosen Ones who had once worked there.

　However, when they entered the living quarters inside the Tower of Babel, an astonishing discovery shocked them.

　In this place that had clearly experienced a brutal massacre, there were still survivors.

　Although these little girls are in prison and are looking at them with fear and hatred, they are indeed alive.

　And judging from their condition, they seem to be doing quite well.

　These girls who survived Sirin's massacre were the innocent victims who, along with her, were deceived by fate and used as test subjects.

　Their presence undoubtedly added a layer of complexity and gravity to this expedition.

　Through the collection and analysis of data from the Tower of Babylon, whether it was Theresa, Siegfried, Walter, Patrick, or the four Valkyries of the Snow Wolf Squad, they all learned about the cruel and unethical experiments being conducted by this Schicksal-affiliated research institution.

　It was precisely because of this that, faced with the fear and hatred in the eyes of these little girls, the Valkyries under Destiny were filled with guilt and anger.

　They once vowed to "fight for all that is good in the world," but now they find themselves caught in the vortex of evil, becoming part of the perpetrators.

　This huge psychological gap made the Valkyries simply unable to look these little girls in the eye.

　"They will no longer be used as test subjects!"

　In the silence and oppressive atmosphere, Theresa's voice suddenly rang out, firm and powerful.

　“Grandpa had already agreed to Cecilia and my request before we came here.”

　She met the complicated gazes of the little girls and continued speaking.

　"On an artificial island in the Far East, St. Freya Academy will be established. We will change the current way of training Valkyries, and they will be the first students of St. Freya Academy."

　Despite Theresa's sincere promise, the little girls huddled in the corner did not show much trust.

　They remained tightly embracing, their bodies trembling with fear.

　This is not surprising.

　When the researchers from Destiny lured them here, they promised to give them a new life.

　But the result?

　The experimental subjects' lives were quite novel, but no normal person would want to live such a new life.

　Faced with the distrust in the little girls' eyes, Theresa felt an indescribable pang of heartache.

　She clearly saw the scars that fate had left on them in the past, and the cruelty and pain deeply touched her heart.

　But it was precisely because of this that Theresa became even more determined to save them.

　She slowly walked forward and gently embraced each of these wounded souls.

　Although she looks like a child, Theresa radiates a maternal glow and warmth at this moment.

　In her arms, the little girls gradually felt an unprecedented sense of peace and warmth.

　Their bodies stopped trembling, and their eyes began to soften.

　They may not fully believe Theresa's promises yet, but surrounded by this warmth, they have begun to try to believe and look forward to the beautiful future full of love and hope that Theresa has described.

　They urgently contacted headquarters to evacuate the children from the magnificent but hellish Tower of Babylon. Theresa, Siegfried, and Walter led the Destiny and Anti-Entropy joint exploration team to continue exploring the interior of the Tower of Babylon.

　But to the astonishment of these members, whose combat capabilities are among the best in the world, they discovered that the entire Tower of Babel was completely empty.

　The mysterious figure who called himself Moros, as well as the Second Herrscher Sirin who had wreaked havoc here, have both disappeared without a trace.

　Only a cup of still-warm coffee in the main control room of the Babylon Laboratory silently testifies to the recent activity that took place there.

　Yes, that's why Theresa and her companions didn't encounter any obstacles during their exploration.

Chapter 305 Pufferfish and Persuasion

　Time moves forward.

　Just as Walter encountered Theresa and Siegfried's forces, Moros also remembered the last piece of technical information in the Babylonian Laboratory database that was worth remembering.

　"Oh? Human, are you done?"

　A flirtatious female voice rang out leisurely behind him.

　He turned around and saw Sirin, dressed in a magnificent Herrscher outfit, gracefully floating in the air.

　At this moment, the Honkai Queen looked at him with an unusually friendly gaze.

　Sirin, having absorbed the energy from the 6500Hw Honkai energy reactor in the Babylon Laboratory, is clearly in an extremely pleasant mood.

　"Yes, Miss Sirin."

　Nodding slightly, Moros responded to her words with a polite smile.

　"So, human, at this moment, who do you think has the greater power between us?"

　Xilin's words revealed a sense of eager anticipation.

　Upon hearing this question, the necromancer couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names."

　He could clearly sense that as her power increased, the Herrscher's confidence also swelled.

　Based on this arrogance, coupled with the lineup of enemies she was about to face, Moros felt that it was an incredible miracle that Sirin was able to survive for a full 17 days in the main world before falling.

　Let's take a look back at the enemies Sirin faced during the Second Great Collapse of the Original World.

　Excluding those B, C, and D-rank Valkyries who are like trash, and those A-rank Valkyries who cancel each other out with the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts and Judgment Dragon Benares.

　Just by looking at the combat power of S-rank and above, one can truly understand the significance of Sirin's ability to survive for such a long time.

　Cecilia Schariac, an S-rank Valkyrie, possesses the sixth divine key, the Key of Creation, the Black Abyss White Flower, and carries the blood of Schariac.

　Theresa Apocalypse, an S-rank Valkyrie, possesses the Eleventh Divine Key, the Key of Binding, the Oath of Judah, and has extraordinary power bestowed by Vishnu's genes, almost comparable to a Fusion Warrior.

　Siegfried Kaslana, an S-rank male Valkyrie, wields the seventh divine key, the Destruction Key, Judgment of Heavenly Fire. With Kevin's help, he gained the power of Honkai Beasts and can almost be considered half a Fusion Warrior.

　Otto Apocalypse, as the Archbishop of Schicksal, personally led the battle with his Soul Steel-forged body, wielding the First Divine Key, the Key of Revelation, the Void Treasury, demonstrating considerable combat power.

　Welt Yang, leader of Anti-Entropy, inherited the Herrscher Core of the First Herrscher, Welt Joyce, and became the Herrscher of Reason in this era, wielding the Ninth Divine Key, the Devouring Key, Star of Eden.

　Fu Hua, whose strength far surpasses that of an S-class Valkyrie, possesses the Eighth Divine Key, the Key of Consciousness, Feather Dust, is a genuine Fusion Warrior, the legendary Crimson Iris Immortal of China, and a hero who has lived for a full 50,000 years.

　Being able to withstand such a terrifying lineup for 17 days, Sirin's performance is worthy of her six Herrscher cores.

　It's important to know that before being chosen by the Cocoon of the End to become the Second Herrscher and wield the power of [Space], she hadn't even graduated from elementary school.

　As is well known, the development of a Lawyer's powers is closely related to the Lawyer's own knowledge reserves, vision, and imagination.

　However, even at such an age when her knowledge was still limited, Celine was able to demonstrate such amazing abilities under such difficult conditions. Her exceptional talent is undoubtedly breathtaking.

　Getting back to the point, when faced with Sirin's eagerness to prove her strength, Moros offered appropriate praise and then cleverly shifted the topic, guiding her to focus on the possibility of acquiring more power.

　“Miss Sirin, I think we can discuss the topic of strength in more depth after your strength has reached a higher level.”

　Those who possess power will never oppose power itself, and very few people are uninterested in becoming stronger.

　Knowing this, the necromancer decided to use this opportunity to advance his hero template promotion quest.
