Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

"I don't think, Dr. Tesla, you'd want the scene in Skydome City to actually happen, would you? If Miss Kiana and I hadn't been there, a large city with a population of over 30 million would have been reduced to ashes."

"Of course I don't hope so," Tesla said coldly, "but I doubt Otto really cares about the lives of those people. If he really cared, he wouldn't do those things."

Li Wen spread his hands. "It's not that I don't care. After all, my brother isn't some devil. It's just that when these people are put together with the things he cares about, they're not worth mentioning."

He suddenly changed the subject, "But now things are different. I've given him a new hope. Therefore, he's agreed to some of my terms. The fact that I'm the head of this command is the best proof of that. You've all been part of 'Destiny', so you should understand the power that lies behind it, right?"

Listening to Li Wen's words, the Helios fell into silence for a moment.

It is precisely because of this understanding that they dare not make judgments rashly.

Because they don’t have a clear understanding of Li Wen and don’t know what he thinks.

"Hmm... still don't trust me?" Li Wen shook his head slightly and spoke again, "Then let me provide you with a piece of information for free. 'Destiny' has reached a cooperation with 'World Serpent'. From now on, 'Destiny' will no longer interfere with 'World Serpent's' Stigma Project."

The bombshell news that Li Wen dropped was like a thunderclap, causing everyone to fall into momentary shock.

Chapter 11 I hope Kiana can accept my treatment

"What?! Are you crazy?" Tesla said in disbelief.

"Of course not." Li Wen said calmly.

"Then you actually support such a plan?"

"Dr. Tesla, I need to correct you again. I'm not supporting you, I'm just not stopping you." Li Wen said.

"Don't play word games with me, what difference does it make." Tesla said angrily.

"It can't be helped," Li Wen said, spreading his hands helplessly. "Although I don't want 'Destiny' to cooperate with them, unfortunately, the 'World Serpent' holds something we must obtain at any cost. Therefore, we can only make some compromises."

"Simply not trying to stop the other party from carrying out their plan is already the best outcome we can achieve."

"After all, Otto is doing this for himself..." Tesla was immediately furious.

"Indeed." Li Wen nodded in agreement, then added, "But, as compensation, didn't I tell you this news? Although 'Destiny' can't take action due to the agreement, 'Anti-Entropy' can intervene."

"Hmph." Tesla sneered at this. "Who knows if this is a ploy to destroy both Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent?"

"That does make sense. After all, Destiny and Anti-Entropy have a long-standing feud. It's going to take time to convince you to trust us. But..." Li Wen smiled. "Dr. Tesla, even if you don't trust us and have doubts about us, will you sit idly by when the World Serpent truly lays out the Stigmata Project?"

"...Bastard." Tesla cursed.

Indeed, given the Anti-Entropy Organization's style of doing things, they naturally wouldn't let the other party do whatever they wanted.

"Mr. Li Wen, you should know that without the involvement of Destiny, Anti-Entropy alone would not be able to resist the World Serpent."

At this time, Ji Zi spoke calmly.

By this time, they had learned from Einstein and Theresa what happened in Haiyuan City. The former Herrscher of Reason, Watel Yang, and Bronya, who had just inherited the power of the Herrscher of Reason, could not even withstand a single move from Kevin.

The gap between the two sides in terms of high-end power level is too big.

Therefore, it is too difficult to destroy the "Stigma Project" by relying solely on "Anti-Entropy".

"Of course I know this. But don't worry, I've made some preparations for this." Li Wen smiled and continued, "I can take charge and provide Anti-Entropy with some intelligence and even supplies. As for high-end forces..."

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Kiana who was standing beside him, "That is my second promise."

He looked into Kiana's pale blue eyes and slowly said, "I hope Miss Kiana can come to me to continue receiving treatment."

It was not until then that Li Wen revealed his true goal.

Hearing Li Wen's words, Kiana pursed her lips. Before she could speak, she heard Tesla's voice next to her.

"Impossible." Tesla immediately refused. "The reason why Kiana became like this was entirely caused by Otto. Do you still want us to hand Kiana over to you?"

Looking at Tesla's reaction, Li Wen was not surprised, because what the other party said was completely true.

But he still had a way to convince them.

"You should understand Kiana's current situation, right?"

Listening to Li Wen's words, Kiana remained silent, Tesla was surprised, and Jizi and Mei were confused.

How could he know... Tesla's heart was pounding. She and Einstein should be the only ones who knew about this test report.

Looking at Tesla's expression, Li Wen seemed to know what she was thinking and continued, "Dr. Tesla, this is not surprising. After all, I am Miss Kiana's first physician."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the fine lines on Kiana's neck.

He let out a light breath and continued, "You should be well aware of how dire her condition is. Does Anti-Entropy really have the ability to save her now?"

"Mr. Li Wen, what does this mean?" Ji Zi could no longer sit still after hearing what Li Wen said, and asked quickly.

"Kiana's body has been severely eroded. I'm afraid she's in imminent danger," Li Wen said bluntly. "A single Herrscher core is enough to destroy a city, and she has three sealed within her. Even if her Herrscher consciousness has fallen into a deep sleep, she still can't bear such a burden.

"So, for her health's sake, it's best for me to take her away."

Hearing Li Wen's words, Mei couldn't believe it. She quickly turned her gaze to Tesla, only to see that the other party was also silent. Then she realized that Li Wen did not lie to them.

"How could this happen?" She asked Tesla for help, "Dr. Tesla, is there really no way?"

"Mei, calm down first. Chicken Coop Head and I are discussing a treatment plan for Kiana."

Although Tesla was trying to comfort Mei, this sentence also revealed that they currently had no way to treat Kiana.

The news revealed by Li Wen made Ji Zi and Mei Yi upset.

"I'm sorry, I can't leave with you." Kiana suddenly spoke, her voice very steady.

Listening to Kiana's words, Li Wen frowned immediately, "You don't believe me? You should know that I didn't lie to you. Last time..."

Before Li Wen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Kiana.

"No. I know you didn't lie to me." Kiana shook her head slowly. "I also learned the details of what happened last time from Teacher Jizi. I'm sorry that I didn't give you a chance to explain last time."

Li Wen's frown relaxed a little. "Since you know I didn't lie to you, then why don't you want to go with me for treatment? I treat you as a friend, so I won't harm you."

Kiana raised her head and her eyes met Li Wen's. "Because I don't trust Otto."

"Even if you do nothing, your health will only get worse. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Li Wen was speechless for a moment. As the creator of K423, Otto had indeed planned and manipulated Kiana's life so far. It seemed impossible for Kiana to let go of all this at the moment.

Since Kiana herself doesn't want to come, he naturally has no better way without relying on force.

Thinking of this, he no longer had the interest to continue talking.

"If you change your mind, you can always come to Tianming to find me."

After saying this, Li Wen hung up the phone.

The Valkyrie troops, having completed their orders, also began to evacuate quickly, leaving only the people on the Helios.

I saved it for two days and did it today.

I hope everyone can give me more support.

In addition, because the recommendation requires follow-up reading, I hope everyone will try not to keep the book.

The further I can go, the more motivated I will be to update more.

So I hope everyone can give us a lot of support!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 12 Residents of Changkong City

Since Kiana was not willing to go to "Destiny" for the time being, Li Wen had to give up this plan for the time being and continue to lead the Valkyries to explore the situation in Changkong City, to be on guard against the possibility that there were still wandering residents in Changkong City, and to prepare for Otto's subsequent observation experiments.

Although "Steelman" possesses a large number of armed forces, most of them are scattered across the country and commanded by various branches, responsible for handling and preventing local Honkai incidents. The only forces that can really take action are those directly under the headquarters.

However, due to the extremely high concentration of Honkai energy in Changkong City, ordinary troops are unable to enter Changkong City for exploration. Therefore, Li Wen can only continue to command the "Immortal Blade" led by Rita.

Fortunately, as the most elite force in "Destiny", each of these Valkyries has excellent qualities.

Therefore, their exploration speed is also extremely fast.

Relying on the technology of "Destiny", they used satellites to directly generate the current map of Changkong City. Soon, they explored most of the area with division of labor.

……

"Alvette, how is the current progress of the exploration?" Li Wen stood in the command room and asked a Valkyrie sitting in front of the computer next to him.

"Report to Lord Li Wen, according to the current progress, our exploration of Changkong City has reached 74%." After hearing Li Wen's question, Yvette quickly checked the data and then answered Li Wen.

"74%..." Li Wen pondered for a moment. Considering that most of Changkong City was submerged by sea water and only ruins were left, this level of exploration was still acceptable.

They should have time to complete all the screening work here before the Second God's Key is transported to Changkong City.

Although it was just a simple screening and they did not go into each building to explore in detail, they only had enough time to do this.

If there really were people still in Changkong City, they wouldn't be so stupid as to stay there in response to the Valkyries' calls.

Li Wen began to think in his mind whether he had completed his preparations for this experiment. Suddenly, the group of people from Anti-Entropy flashed through his mind again.

"Haven't the anti-entropy people left yet?" he asked Alvette again.

"No." This time, Alvette gave an answer quickly.

After all, as an organization that is still in opposition, "Destiny" has been observing the other party's whereabouts.

"Strange..." Li Wen frowned. "Isn't their goal to find Kiana? Why didn't they leave after finding her?"

Li Wen felt doubtful. After his previous reminder, Ji Zi and the others should have understood the danger of Kiana's condition.

Even if the people of "Anti-Entropy" are not in a hurry, as Kiana's partners, Himeko and Mei did not take Kiana away from Changkong City, which in itself is a very abnormal thing.

After all, even if Kiana did nothing, her body would continue to deteriorate, and being in this kind of environment would only exacerbate this deterioration.

The fine lines he had seen on the other person's neck earlier, caused by the erosion of collapse, were the best explanation.

What do those who oppose entropy want to do?

Just as Li Wen was contemplating the other party's unreasonable behavior, he suddenly heard Yalvette's urgent call, "Master Li Wen, Miss Rita and the others have discovered a small gathering place inside Changkong City."

"How many people are there?" Li Wen asked immediately.

If there are a lot of people gathering there, one Eos transport ship might not be enough, and other transport ships might have to be called in from the headquarters.

"It wasn't a large group of people." Alvette shook her head hurriedly, "But they refused our help."

"Reject our help? What happened?" Li Wen was not angry, but a little doubt arose. The Valkyrie leading the team was Rita Rossweisse. He didn't believe that the perfect maid couldn't even handle such a simple matter.

"Hmm." Alvette, the honest tool, showed an uncharacteristic hint of anger. "That guy named Raven claims to be a cadre of the World Serpent. She said she has already arranged everything here and doesn't need our help."

Raven...

Li Wen searched his mind briefly and immediately found the person's information.

"It turned out to be her." Li Wen nodded in sudden realization. No wonder an honest person like Alvette would get angry. It turned out to be their mortal enemy.

If he and Kiana hadn't arrived in time last time, Rita and the "Immortal Blade" would have almost been destroyed by each other.

This can be considered as enemies being extremely jealous of each other when they meet.

However, since both parties are still in the cooperation period, it is not appropriate to conflict with each other.

Thinking this, he said to Alvette, "Connect me to the communication line over there. I want to talk to the World Serpent's cadres in person."

……

"Teacher." Xiaokong hid behind the house, looking at the lonely black and red figure in front of him with a worried look on his face.

Although she was very worried about the teacher, she and the other children here also knew that in this situation, if they went out, they would only hinder Raven, so it would be better for them to stay here honestly so that the teacher could feel at ease.

Unlike the nervous children, Raven's expression was remarkably calm, even a bit relaxed. "Ms. Rita, I've already told you that we don't need the help of Destiny here. Why bother asking for trouble?"

Rita smiled softly and said gracefully, "Protecting the citizens is the duty of the Valkyrie Corps, and we will ensure their safety. However, I'm a little worried about letting these children continue to follow Miss Raven."

“After all, Rita still remembers clearly what almost happened in Sky City.

"Besides, can a killer like Miss Raven really take good care of these children?"

"Don't worry, even though I'm the only one here, this is enough. After all, unlike Destiny, the World Serpent has never been fond of human wave tactics." Raven fiddled with his gauntlets, looking absent-minded.
