“Found it, found it…”

On the moon, Zijing dug deep into the ground and finally dug out Walter who was buried in the ground.

"The damage is really serious..."

Zijing made a quick check and found that his body was overdrawn and the Honkai energy in his body was completely gone, so he used his power to replenish and heal it.

"Well……"

After a while, Walter woke up. He saw Zijing's face, and his subconsciously tense nerves slowly relaxed. He lay on the ground, "We are still alive, which means... we won, right?"

"Well, I guess I won, but I didn't take down either of the two Herrschers." Zijing said.

“…It’s also within expectations.”

Otherwise, they wouldn't have let Siegfried and Paddo come with them to dig soul steel on the moon and obtain the technology to seal Houkai energy. "Where did they go?"

"Earth, fly back on a dragon."

"...Where are Siegfried and the others?"

"Leave too. Isn't this the plan you made yourself?"

"Then...how do we get back?"

"..."

After hearing what Walter said, Zijing felt a little regretful. Why didn't she detain Benares before? She gave him a means of transportation for nothing, and she was still short of one. It was a huge loss.

"There will be a way. I should be able to go back."

Zijing scratched his head. Logically speaking, if the female "Li" was able to come to the moon without Benares's pick-up, then he should also have a similar ability to move over long distances.

So Walter rested on the side while looking at Zijing and pondering his own abilities.

It turned out that Mr. Zijing, like himself, had not yet developed his own powers to perfection.

"Alliance Leader Walter, your power is construction, right?"

While Amethyst was pondering, he also chatted with Walter at the same time.

"Yes, if I can fully understand the structure of something, I can reproduce it completely."

"My powers are similar to yours, and I need to be understood as well."

"Is that so..."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while about their respective powers. Due to some relevance, both of them were able to gain some inspiration from each other.

"All right."

Just when the two were chatting happily, Zijing suddenly said, "I have found a way from here to Earth and back."

"...Okay, we can't fall behind. The Second Herrscher and...that guy are not beings that we can easily let down our guard against." Walter stood up. After being treated by Amethyst, his body, which was almost turned into a dried corpse, returned to its prime.

Walter still remembered the black-haired woman's tactics... He didn't know what happened when Amethyst fought against the second Herrscher, but it must have been difficult, right? After all, there were five Herrscher cores.

Amethyst's eyes turned black and white, and a circle was drawn in front of her, a bit like the portal opened by the Second Herrscher, except that Amethyst's was for super long distances, reaching directly to Earth.

Amethyst jumped in first, and Walter hurriedly followed. After passing through a strange space, they came to a cave with light. After passing through, they saw familiar human civilization buildings and the scenery of the earth.

"Where is...where?"

Zijing looked around and saw tall buildings, city gardens...all the standard features of a large city, but there were no iconic buildings for them to identify.

Walter also looked around, trying to find some familiar clues. He noticed that people were hurrying on the street, but everyone had an inexplicable anxiety and uneasiness on their faces.

"Look there."

Walter's eyes fell on an electronic billboard, which displayed an urgent news: "Abnormal phenomena have occurred in many places around the world, and various experts are urgently studying..."

"It seems that when we were on the moon, something extraordinary happened on Earth..."

Generally speaking, in areas where no disaster has occurred, news of the collapse or disaster caused by the Herrscher will be covered up by Destiny, or at least will not cause large-scale panic.

At present, the city seems to be intact and no disaster has occurred, but the residents here have seen the news, which shows that the situation has become so critical that it may happen here at any time.

Aurora and the others...

Zijing could roughly guess what was going on, and felt a little upset. He punched the wall of a nearby building hard, cracking it. If only he could find a safe place for them.

However, he could never have imagined at that time that four innocent children would be involved in such an incident.

At first, Otto brought them back to the headquarters as a bargaining chip to threaten Xilin in the future, and then they were taken away by that guy... Tsk.

Amethyst took out the communicator and called.

Soon, Alicia's voice came from the other side: "You're back? How was the battle on the moon? Was that 'Li' frightened by our secret weapon?"

"...Alicia."

Zijing interrupted her and said, "I have something to ask..."

"You want to ask about the Herrscher attack on Earth? No problem~?" Alicia guessed what Zijing cared about, and told him everything about the battle between humans and pseudo-Herrscher a while ago.

"So many of them showed up at once... Although they are not real Herrschers, it is still troublesome to deal with them since they are so scattered..."

"that……"

"Ok?"

"You killed them all?"

"Ah, it seems that everything... huhu, not everything has been solved. Are you worried about the four children? Don't worry, two of them have been settled down. One is called Bella, and the other is... Galina~?"

"Huh... could you not breathe so hard when you speak next time?"

"I did that on purpose~?"

"… Never mind. There are only two. Are there two more that we haven't found yet?"

"Yes, all the pseudo-herrs have been dealt with. Except for the two real ones, the others are puppets... These are the results of Aponya's examination. I know you will be worried, so I spent some time to transport all the bodies together."

"……Thanks."

"Don't say thank you. After all, we have a very good relationship. When we get familiar with each other, or get our memories back, you will know~?"

Alicia said with some dissatisfaction, but then she changed the subject, as if she had thought of a good idea, "But if you really want to thank me, it's not impossible. You owe me a favor~?"

"? Isn't this everyone's credit?"

"Are you going to owe everyone a favor, or just me?"

“…This is not good.”

"No one will mind. Just keep this as a little secret between us. Don't tell anyone, okay~?"

"This is suspicious no matter how you look at it, isn't it?!"
