Since 1992, unknown black crystals have appeared all over the world. They exist in various places, whether at the bottom of the sea or on the top of a mountain, people can see them.

There are many different opinions about what this black crystal is. Some say it is a prelude to alien invasion of the earth, while others say it is a warning from the gods to mankind. But no matter which statement is made, it cannot be confirmed.

Shortly after this phenomenon appeared, the world's largest organization, Destiny, also responded to it. The Bishop of Destiny sent a large number of Valkyries to all parts of the world. Their only goal was to collect all the black crystals that could be seen and bring them back to the Destiny headquarters.

Of course, as the enemy of Destiny, Anti-Entropy will not sit idly by. They have also participated in the collection and research of black crystals. There has not been much progress for the time being. They only know that the composition of these inexplicably appearing strange crystals is indeed close to the Herrscher core, and will continue to fuse through contact, and often appear in areas with high concentrations of Honkai energy.

Before fusion, this crystal will not be overly dangerous, and even ordinary people can touch it.

However, as long as the number of fused crystals reaches a certain level, the concentration of Honkai energy around them will increase accordingly, followed by a series of Honkai disasters.

Currently, the amount of collapse caused by it on Earth has reached a terrifying level. Many ordinary people have been affected and either died from the collapse or developed a fear of the color black for a long time.

Fortunately, people soon discovered that although these black crystals appeared frequently at the beginning, their number no longer increased after two or three months. In fact, their number decreased due to mutual fusion.

At this time, if an area undergoes a "great cleansing", the residents living there will never see any black crystals appear in their field of vision again, unless someone is committing suicide and specially transports them from other places.

In this regard, Tianming has already communicated with various countries and issued a ban - prohibiting the secret hiding of the black crystal. If discovered, the relevant personnel will be punished accordingly.

Soon, thanks to the efforts of Tianming, the "black crystal incident" that had caused serious damage in various regions came to an end, with only a small amount of crystals still scattered around. People returned to their normal lives, without having to worry about waking up and having a black thing next to their pillow that might "explode" at any time.

Of course, the lives of ordinary people have returned to their normal rhythm, but in places that ordinary people cannot see, new conflicts are also taking place in secret because of the inexplicable appearance of black crystals.

……

Inside an abandoned factory, Cecilia, the saint of the Shaniyat family, appeared, followed by a seemingly sloppy white-haired young man. The two walked side by side, with their shoulders very close, indicating that their relationship was not just that of ordinary colleagues.

"My dear wife, I can do this simple task by myself. You don't have to come with me..."

The white-haired young man is Siegfried, a member of the Kaslana family. He returned to Tianming several years ago and reunited with Cecilia. With Otto's permission, the two got married and gave birth to a daughter named Kiana Kaslana.

This time, it was only Siegfried who received Otto's instructions and came to this place to recover the remaining black crystals that were monitored. Unexpectedly, Cecilia also came and handed over little Kiana at home to Theresa's care.

"Just in case. Anti-Entropy has been making big moves recently, and I'm a little worried that you might be ambushed by them."

Cecilia held a spear in her hand, using the tip of the spear to pick up the surrounding gravel while vigilantly observing the surroundings. Apparently, she had not neglected her own training after giving birth to a daughter, which was why Siegfried did not stop his wife from following him.

"Tsk, you don't know my abilities? As long as it's not the leader of Anti-Entropy who comes here in person, I will fight as many as they come. Even if I can't win, I can run away without any problem~"

Siegfried played with his two guns, his face full of pride. Since that separation, in order to see his wife again, he practiced for a long time before getting the approval of the Bishop of Destiny. And as far as he knew, Anti-Entropy mainly relied on machines, and there were not many people with combat power. He didn't believe that he would be unlucky enough to meet the leader of Anti-Entropy himself just to do a small recycling mission.

"You still have to be careful..."

Cecilia reminded him, and then looked at the detection equipment she brought, which showed the specific location of the black crystals in the area.

It’s not far away, just fifty meters ahead.

Cecilia walked over to a pile of rubble. Without waiting for her to squat, Siegfried immediately and diligently moved all the rubble aside for his dear wife, revealing black crystals underneath that were flashing with a rich black light.

"Sure enough, the collapse of this area a week ago was caused by its existence."

Cecilia could feel the rich Honkai energy surrounding the black crystal in front of her. It was obvious that it had undergone multiple fusions and was even enough to cause Honkai.

Fortunately, this area was just an abandoned factory with no human activity, so no casualties were caused.

Siegfried took out a special container and put the black crystal into it. Everything went smoothly. He did not encounter any anti-entropy people, nor did some guys who claimed to be members of the "Moth" organization appear to rob him.

Siegfried glanced around and then looked at the life detection equipment he was carrying. There was no one else except himself and Cecilia.

"Very good, it's done, honey, we can go back to accompany Kiana!"

"..."

Cecilia smiled helplessly. She was also a little surprised that this mission would go so smoothly. She had clearly heard Theresa complain before that every time she did a black crystal recycling mission, there would always be someone who popped up from nowhere to obstruct her. Could it be that Theresa looked easier to bully?

"The person who is going to pick us up will be here in an hour, dear. We just need to wait at the designated location." Cecilia didn't think any more about it, but contacted Tianming's colleagues. After getting the news, she spoke to Siegfried.

"Let's go. I don't feel comfortable leaving Kiana to Theresa's care. She's just like a little kid, obsessed with watching cartoons... Is it because Amethyst dotes on her too much?"

"Okay, okay, you clearly bought the latest Alahato disc not long ago..."

"Alahato is very different from the cartoons that kids watch!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"
