“It seems communication is ineffective.” Walter sighed (she was getting anxious! She knew the truth!), seemingly helpless, but in fact, she had already expected it.

The two chased and fled, weaving and fighting at an astonishing speed among the city's skyscrapers!

The blue data streams collided and intersected with the white death meteors time and time again, triggering continuous explosions and bursts of energy!

Broken glass and building debris fell from the sky like raindrops.

Allen's attacks were ferocious and precise, each swing of his light blade carrying the power to tear everything apart.

"Walter" dances on the edge of a knife, relying on the instantaneous understanding and construction capabilities of the Law of Reason core to continuously create various obstacles, shields, and even one-time decoy clones.

It managed to maneuver around the enemy with its extremely flamboyant yet chaotic flight path.

But it was clear to everyone that he was at a complete disadvantage, and every dodge was extremely dangerous. The construction was being destroyed much faster than Allen could destroy it.

This aerial chase was like a tiger hunting a cunning rabbit—it was thrilling and breathtaking!

He raised his hand, and a stream of azure data light surged out from behind him like a fountain!

"Understand and reproduce! Construct: Anti-Entropy Mech Legion! Objective: Intercept her!"

In an instant, countless drones, self-destructing robots, light mechs, floating turrets... appeared out of thin air like a steel torrent, densely packed towards Allen! Although these creations were numerous, due to the current level of authority of the Thousand Institute, the strength of each individual was not high. They were passable in dealing with logistics troops, but they would have some difficulty fighting against top-level hero units.

Allen moved like a tiger among sheep, her light blade like the Grim Reaper's scythe, easily slicing large swathes of mechanical creations in two with each swing, triggering a series of explosions! Her speed barely slowed down!

"Ridiculous! Is this all the power you have? All show and no substance! Let me show you how utterly vulnerable your toys are in the face of absolute power!" Allen's voice cut through the flames of the explosion, carrying a chilling sarcasm.

Allen's light blade tore through the air once more, slashing down with a suffocating energy pressure!

The composite armor shield that Walter hastily constructed was cleaved open like a piece of paper, and the blast wave violently threw him away.

It tumbled several times in the air before barely managing to steady itself. The shockwave tore the suit jacket over its chest, revealing the spirit dress beneath, which shimmered with data.

(Damn it! If this keeps up, it's really going to become Allen's achievement point! I have to find a way to take down that bastard!)

However, as she destroyed more and more machinery, her disdain gradually turned into astonishment and suspicion!

Because these mechanical creations were not transported from somewhere, but rather emerged continuously from behind that "elf"!

It was as if... as if he had created it out of thin air!

(How is this possible?! This isn't teleportation! This is... construction? Generation? An unprecedented spirit ability!)

Just as she was slightly shaken by this discovery, the DEM logistics team was almost completely wiped out by the Titan's attack, and the space containment device was also destroyed.

Senin hovered in mid-air, surveying the entire scene—the bewildered AST, the ashen-faced Eren, the chaotic Origami, the injured and bewildered Tohka, and Shido, who stood protectively in front of Tohka and watched him.

"Walter" seized the opportunity, maintaining the output of the mechanical torrent while shouting his long-prepared declaration at the top of his lungs. The sound, through the roar of countless machines, clearly resounded across the battlefield:

"This is my true power! To understand, to analyze, and to reproduce! As long as I have seen something, and as long as my understanding is deep enough, I can bring it back to life! As long as I live, as long as my will does not perish, this army of steel, driven by understanding and belief, will never fall!"

He spread his arms wide, as if embracing the entire battlefield, and even though he had used his power to the point of vomiting blood, he still stared intently at Allen in the sky, his suit fluttering in the shockwave of the explosion.

"I am—Walter of Anti-Entropy! The Herald of Truth!"

"We hereby declare war on all those who falsely accuse the innocent of disaster, cover up the truth, and abuse power!"

"Humans! Come at me! Bring it on! Let your swords and cannons prove it—"

"Look at us—the beings you call 'elves'—do we even deserve to live in this world!"

Chapter 9: The False Truth?

Chapter Nine: A False Truth?

The declaration resounded like thunder in everyone's ears!

The AST members were completely thrown into chaos and shock. Origami looked at the endless torrent of machinery, then at Eren in the air and Tohka on the ground, and for the first time hesitated in her grip on her gun.

Allen's face turned extremely ugly, and his attacks became even more ferocious. He had to capture this elf immediately and label his words as nonsense!

(No! I can't keep taking this beating! I have to... I have to think of something else! I have to run away! I can't keep up this act any longer!)

Walter's mind raced, searching for even the slightest possibility of breaking the deadlock.

Just as the Thousand Houses were drawing all the firepower and the spatial blockade was completely rendered ineffective by the Titan's attack.

As Tohka's spiritual energy reached its limit, her body turned into particles of light and slowly dissipated, finally allowing her to return to the neighboring world.

Almost simultaneously, a teleportation beam from Fraxinus precisely enveloped Shido, who was stunned by Tohka's disappearance, and quickly teleported him away.

(The time is now!)

An unprecedented, extremely dazzling yet clearly unstable torrent of azure data erupted from his body!

The massive energy reaction instantly caused all the detectors to emit a piercing shriek!

He instantly constructed several enormous, complex pseudo-Honkai fusion cores that emitted destructive energy fluctuations, which floated around him as if they were about to explode at any moment!

"What...?!" Allen's pupils contracted, and he abruptly stopped his pursuit!

Even she couldn't ignore this seemingly suicidal act and the exaggerated energy reaction!

She instinctively held the light blade horizontally in front of her, adopting a defensive stance, and rapidly calculated the possibilities of interception or evasion.

All AST members were on high alert, almost instinctively aiming their weapons at the giant "bombs," and deploying their defensive random domains at full force!

However, just as everyone's attention was drawn to this earth-shattering declaration of self-destruction—

Walter's true killing move has been unleashed!

His thoughts had already connected to the DEM containment devices that had been destroyed by the Titans and were now just wreckage, but were still smoking!

(Understand the tampering! Overwrite the instructions! Drive with residual energy—simulate maximum power phase interference! Give me... blast!)

Buzz - boom! ! !

It wasn't an explosion, but a muffled yet extremely widespread energy hum!

The remnants of those DEM devices shone with a final, desperate light, and an incredibly intense and distorted spatial fluctuation spread outwards like a tsunami from its center!

This artificially created, intense phase interference, mimicking the elf "Lost," instantly swept across the entire battlefield!

The screens of all the detectors instantly became filled with static, the spiritual energy readings jumped wildly, and the target lock was lost!

Visually, the air seemed to have turned into a funhouse mirror, the light was violently distorted, and even the figures of "Walter" and the "bombs" he constructed began to become blurry and flickering!

"Interference?! It's a 'Lost' reaction? No! This is..."

Ellen instantly realized she had been tricked, but her senses and instruments experienced a brief period of confusion due to the intense interference!

A blue light flashed in Walter's eyes!

All the pseudo-Honkai fusion cores vanished instantly like punctured balloons, as if they had never existed.

He pushed his own power to its limit!

"Optical Camouflage - Full-Band Concealment! Spiritual Energy Fluctuation - Silent Mode!"

His figure, like an ink droplet merging into water, instantly became transparent and illusory under the cover of spatial interference, and finally disappeared completely from the spot, leaving no trace of energy.

During his descent, he used his last bit of strength to construct a small, bionic mechanical bird that emitted a faint spiritual signal. He made it let out a sharp cry and speed off towards the other side of the city, opposite his home.

Having done all this, he was like a puppet with its strings cut, withdrawing all light and sound, and walked along the thick shadow of the bridge.

It fell silently into the cold, murky river below, without making a splash.

A few seconds later, the spatial interference gradually subsided.

Ellen hovered in mid-air, her face ashen. Her detectors had lost all signal from that strange sprite.

The bridge below was intact, with only a gentle breeze rippling across the river. In the distance, the faint signal from the mechanical bird was rapidly receding into the distance.

"..." Her cold gaze swept across the empty area under the bridge, then looked in the direction the mechanical bird had fled.

"You guys monitor that signal, I'll go chase it."

She practically gritted her teeth as she gave the order to the remaining DEM troops, her white figure transforming into a streak of light as she sped away. She knew she might have been tricked, but that faint signal was the only clue she had at the moment.

The AST team was in even greater confusion and began to descend, assess the situation on site, and attempt to restore communications and detection.

Beneath the unnoticed surface of the river, there was a "Walter" dressed in a tattered suit.

Dragging its soaked body and its nearly falling-off "camouflage" along the pipes beneath the riverbed, it crawled laboriously toward home.

(It's...it's a success...damn it...that crazy woman Allen...she's got real strength...)

(This outfit...it's so heavy...Ah...I'm not done with you yet...)

(Next time... next time I'm definitely going to build a submarine...)

His escape plan, fraught with immense risk and shame, was ultimately completed without major incident. The name "Walter of Reverse Entropy," and the countless questions he raised, are now deeply etched into the minds of all who witnessed it.

However, the battle against the spirits was over, but the problems were not. Every question that Chiin had raised before was like a carefully calculated hammer blow.

This not only struck the hearts of the AST team members, but also slammed into the high wall of lies that DEM had been trying so hard to maintain!

Origami, in particular! Her pupils contracted sharply as these pointed questions resonated deeply with her own suspicions about AST and DEM.

The amount of information revealed in the elf's words—"thirty years" and "we elves"—shocked her like never before!

In Chapter 10, the male protagonist finally begins to enter the main storyline.

Itsuka Shido felt as if he had been stuffed into a high-speed spinning washing machine, and the dizziness from the spinning had not yet completely subsided.

The scene before my eyes abruptly shifted from the chaotic ruins of a battlefield to a pure white space filled with futuristic technology—Fraxinus's teleportation chamber.

The cold air and metallic feel sent a shiver down his spine, bringing him fully awake.

"Where...am I?" He looked around blankly, the last scene still replaying in his mind:

The purple elf girl vanished as particles of light, the strange figure in the suit made a shocking declaration, and Alan Mathers exuded a suffocatingly terrifying aura.

"This way, Shido-kun." A calm and gentle female voice, yet tinged with an undeniable weariness, rang out.

Shido turned his head and saw Murasame Reine standing not far away, still wearing that white coat and with heavy dark circles under her eyes, as if all the dangers she had just experienced were nothing more than everyday trifles.

"here it is?"

"Welcome to Fraxinus, the airship of Ratatoskr."

Reine explained simply, gesturing for Shido to follow, "The Commander... will explain the specifics to you personally."

Shido followed Reine along the wide bridge passage, bewildered.

Through the enormous observation window, he could see the outline of Tengu City below, and the gradually clearing dust from the battlefield in the distance. His heart remained pounding.

Not only for the vanished purple-haired girl, but also for "Walter," who stood up and then disappeared.

Soon, they arrived at the main control room on the bridge. The door slid open, and the sight that greeted Shido's eyes left him speechless once again.

The huge circular screen displayed complex city data maps and energy replays of the battle that had just taken place.

Dozens of crew members were busy at their respective control panels, creating a tense yet orderly atmosphere.

But the most eye-catching figure was the petite woman seated high in the center of the command chair.

His younger sister, Kotori Itsuka.

But the Kotori in front of him was completely different from the innocent and carefree younger sister he knew who would pester him for sibling rice bowls.

She had a signature Chupa Chups dangling from her mouth, but her eyes were sharp as an eagle's. She wore a red and black commander's uniform with black stockings under a white pleated skirt.

Most striking was the pure black ribbon tied around her head. She exuded an aura of undeniable authority and composure.

"Oh, you're finally awake? You're such a worry for your brother."

Kotori turned her head, her tone carrying a hint of her usual teasing, but deep in her eyes was a barely perceptible sense of relief and relaxation.

"Kotori... Kotori?! What's going on?! Where am I? That strange girl? And that... old man?"

Shido's questions came out like a machine gun, and the information overload was driving his brain to the brink of crashing.

Kotori sighed and tapped the armrest lightly with her baton: "Honestly, she's been asking questions nonstop since the start. To make a long story short, this is my territory, Ratatoskr, an organization that aims to resolve spacequakes peacefully, not the militant AST."

She paused, her expression instantly turning serious. She pointed her baton at the main screen, which was frozen on the moment "Walter" pushed up his glasses. His suit looked incredibly striking on the high-definition screen.

"As for you, my foolish onii-chan, do you know how dangerous your actions were just now? How dare you stand directly between the spirits and DEM's 'world's strongest'? If it weren't for this suddenly appearing 'fourth spirit' interfering, and our quick reflexes in pulling you out, you wouldn't even be ashes left by now!"

Lingyin, standing nearby, added at the opportune moment, her tone completely flat, as if she were reading a lab report:

"Preliminary calculations show that Alan Mathers's light blade was 1.42 meters away from you at the closest point, and its dissipated energy was enough to cause large-scale cell destruction within 0.03 seconds. Your survival probability is less than 0.01%. Shido-kun, your actions lack basic risk awareness."

Shido broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what the two said, a belated sense of fear gripping him. He lowered his head, his voice softening, "I... I just couldn't stand by and watch her be..."
